FORT DRUM As he prepares to leave Fort Drum for a nominated role leading Fort Hood, the post and 10th Mountain Divisions commander reflected on his time in the north country and his accomplishments during the past year.
Maj. Gen. Mark A. Milley, who arrived on post in November 2011, told the Times in a phone call Friday afternoon about the honor he felt leading the division. Gen. Milley had led the 2nd Brigade Combat Team from 2003 to 2005 and was with the division in the mid-1990s.
There are only 10 divisions in the Army, he said. To be given the privilege of leading one of them is very exciting, and at the same time very humbling.
He said his No. 1 goal when he arrived was to ensure the division was ready to deploy for combat operations. For much of his time on post, most of the divisions brigades were home, allowing soldiers to undertake several large training operations.
In the past six months, division soldiers and leaders have taken part in one of the largest Mountain Peak training exercises in more than a decade, along with a rotation through the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif.
Theyve gone through a vigorous work-up period, Gen. Milley said.
The post has seen an expansion in the number of leadership courses available to soldiers, along with more than $10 million in spending to improve its functional fitness offerings with new facilities and individual company and battalion fitness spaces.
A soldiers life is something to be treasured, and this is an insurance policy to protect against the rigors of deployment, Gen. Milley said. He said that if he could have done it again, he would have tried to implement the program changes faster.
The months of preparation will be put to the test as thousands of soldiers from both the 1st and 2nd BCTs will deploy early next year to Afghanistan in a security force assistance role.
Theyre well trained, well led and theyre ready to go, Gen. Milley said.
Gen. Milley was praised by several in the community for his work to renew relationships with organizations outside of the post that had been downplayed due to deployments.
This is his third time back. ... He didnt have to ask where anything was, said F. Anthony Keating, civilian aide to Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh. Gen. Milley hit the ground running, and he knew the people he needed to talk to, Mr. Keating said.
Carl A. McLaughlin, executive director of the Fort Drum Regional Liaison Organization, said that early in his time in the area, Gen. Milley organized representatives from several community groups to talk about their agendas and how the post might be able to help.
He was very open with us all, Mr. McLaughlin said. Thats what helps the bond.
Michael T. Plummer, a retired colonel and former division chief of staff, said Gen. Milley and his command groups efforts created a positive working environment in the area.
It wasnt just a one-way street, but we were a partnership, Mr. Plummer said.
Gen. Milley called the outreach efforts a way to avoid being in a bubble away from the civilian world.
Americas Army is the peoples army, so you have to find ways to keep that connection to the people, he said.
On Nov. 15, Gen. Milley was nominated by President Barack Obama to lead Fort Hood, Texas, and its III Corps, along with a promotion to lieutenant general. Both the assignment and promotion require Senate confirmation.
Gen. Milley called his departure bittersweet, as the post has served as home for him and his family for a combined six years of service.
I love Drum, I love the 10th Mountain Division, and I love the north country, he said.
Gen. Milley will be replaced by Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, director of the Pakistan and Afghanistan Coordination Cell Joint Staff, Washington, D.C. Gen. Milley said the two have crossed paths multiple times during their careers, most recently in 2009, when Gen. Townsend replaced Gen. Milley as deputy commanding general of operations for the 101st Aviation Division, Fort Campbell, Ky.
Gen. Milley described his replacement as an expert on military operations in Afghanistan. Gen. Townsend has spent about four years in Afghanistan on three deployments, on top of earlier deployments to Iraq, Haiti, Panama and Grenada.
Hes a wonderful officer, hes a great human being and extremely talented, Gen. Milley said. This is first-class guy thats coming in here.
A change-of-command ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the posts Magrath Sports Complex.

POTSDAM - The Potsdam Central varsity girls soccer team relayed a three-goal halftime lead into a 4-0 NAC Central Division win at home over Salmon River on Tuesday.
The Lady Sandstoners improved to 10-0-1 overall and 8-0-1 atop the division standings. Along with staying unbeaten, they have yet to surrender a goal as junior netminder Bre Sapp made all four of her saves over the final 28 minutes of regulation to record her 11th shutout.
Senior Ally Miller scored the only goal Potsdam would need when she converted on a penalty kick in the fifth minute. The Lady Sandstoners then put the game out of reach with a quick two-goal burst midway through the first half as sophomore Kalie Grant finished off an assist from Miller in the 22nd minute and classmate Kayla Phillips connected a minute later to make it 3-0 at the break.
The Lady Shamrocks got their first shot on net 12 minutes into the second half and traded chances through to the end. Salmon Rivers best chance came with four minutes left but Sapp was able to handle a mid-range shot from the right of the penalty area by Jaiden Mitchell. Sapps ensuing punt led to the the final goal of the game as junior Kelsey Green controlled the ball near midfield and worked it over to the left wing to senior Annette Rishe, who made a quick move to avoid a defender then crossed a shot into the top right corner of the net from just outside the penalty area on the left with 3:24 remaining in regulation.
Wraven Sunday went the first 70 minutes between the pipes for Salmon River and posted 19 saves before giving way to Kiera Jacobs, who handled one more shot through to the end.
The Lady Sandstoners are slated to play at Canton on Thursday while the Lady Shamrocks (3-8, 3-6) head to Norwood-Norfolk.
In the other NAC varsity girls soccer action Tuesday, Madrid-Waddington pulled away to a 5-0 East Division win at home over St. Regis Falls while a West Division matchup saw Heuvelton beat Morristown 5-1.
M-W 5, SRF 0: The Lady Yellowjackets (5-6-, 5-5-0) ran out to a 4-0 lead by halftime as four different players scored goals. Tess Knights netted the game-winner just four minutes into the game. M-W went ahead 2-0 on an own goal in the eighth minute. First-year senior Taylor Perry then broke through for her first career goal off an assist from Desiree Pryce in the 20th minute before Mary Young capped the first-half scoring eight minutes later with an unassisted strike.
Hannah Marcellus closed out the scoring with 14:20 left in regulation off an assist from Mariah Patenaude.
Freshman Marlaina Bush handled the four shots she faced in backstopping the shutout while Sarah Brockway made 15 saves for the Lady Saints (0-10, 0-8).
The Lady Yellowjackets will now have a nine-day break from their game schedule before they play host to unbeaten division-leading Chateaugay on Thursday, October 17.

Install [gocr-0.40]
Do NOT try to use the CVS version of gocr, it's usually broken.
And [subrip-0.3-4]
Subrip may also be found in the TOOLS subdirectory of the mplayer source.
Subrip calls gocr as an external process. It's easy to find the gocr invocation in the subrip.c file, and you may want to make an extra version of subrip that calls gocr with -s 9 instead of -s 7 for those times when gocr decides that there are spaces between every character in the substream ;^)
Decide which subtitle ID you need:
mplayer -vo null -ao null -frames 0 -identify dvd://1
Extract the .idx and .sub files for that subtitle ID:
mencoder -ovc copy \ -o /dev/null \ -nosound \ -vobsubout subtitles \ <- the name of the output files -vobsuboutindex 1 \ <- the index used in the output -vobsuboutid en \ <- the code used in the output file -sid $N $basename <- the i.d. of the stream to be extracted
Run subrip:
rm -rf db mkdir db subrip $basename 1 $basename.srt You will be prompted to identify about 40 glyphs during this process.
Fix the errors in the .srt file by hand, and you're done!
If subrip seems to be asking you to identify the same character more than once, the subtitle file may be too difficult for subrip to process... This does happen.

NEWPORT CENTER – A rescue team is searching Lake Memphremagog for a man who fell through the ice and into the frigid waters while pulling an ice shanty behind a tractor.
The Vermont State Police Scuba Team, Newport Center Fire Department, and the U.S. Border Patrol spent much of Sunday searching the west side of the lake near McKinney Drive, off the Lake Road. By early evening, the search was temporarily suspended.
NEWPORT CITY – A Newport Center woman faces 20 years to life in prison for allegedly trying to kill her husband.
"I hope I killed him," were the words police say Jennifer Ahlquist, 40, used after they took her into custody Thursday.
Ahlquist was reportedly referring to stabbing Sean Ahlquist, 42, with a kitchen knife.
Ahlquist entered not guilty pleas and was held without bail, charged with attempted second degree murder, first degree aggregated domestic assault with a weapon, unlawful trespass, and simple assault.
ORLEANS-It was a long trip up from Brandon, Vermont for the 11th seeded Otter Valley Otters Saturday, and after a painful 29 point whupping by host Lake Region, it probably was a longer trip back.
The Lake Region backcourt had their way with the visiting Otters, forcing 26 turnovers with their relentless multi-headed group of guards to earn a to a trip to the Division Two Final Four at Barre Auditorium this coming Wednesday.
Add to the fact that the Otters had no answer for Drew Gallup inside, and it was a long afternoon for Otter Valley.
ORLEANS–The Lady Rangers did not finnish up the regular season they way they wanted to, as they fell to Winooski 56-45.
The game was seen as a test for Lake Region as they prepare to head into the play-offs without a few crucial members of their squad.
"That game was one we really wanted to win for seeding purposes," said assistant coach Joe Houston. "It wasn't a one-and-done situation, but it was sort of like that atmosphere, and we did not handle it the way we wanted to in terms of coming out and staying composed.

Stephen fundraiser dinner Saturday benefits education
MANCHESTER - It began when Bobby Stephen owned the Vault restaurant downtown on Elm Street. The restaurant is long gone, but Stephen's St. Patrick's Day party tradition is still going strong, held in recent years at the Executive Court banquet facility.
The 35th celebration Saturday, a fundraiser for the Bobby Stephen Fund for Education, begins at 5:30 p.m. and includes a full buffet dinner, music, step dancers and a few speakers. Tickets are $50 and available at the door.
Stephen, also a former state senator, is a father of three successful sons and said he keeps holding the St. Patrick's Day party to raise funds to help young people who need some extra help to succeed.
He said that's why the fund is now a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization and why he continues the party tradition. "I want to give back," he said.
The party traditionally draws a crowd that's heavy on politicians, from governor to city ward clerk, but also draws lots of "civilians."
Since 1994, Stephen said: "We've given over 300 scholarships." Last year, the number was 22, and the previous year it was 35. "It's a way to help at-risk students," he said.

CAPE VINCENT The Town Council, at a special meeting Wednesday, passed a resolution calling on the state Public Service Commission to halt any discussion, consideration or determination regarding wind turbine noise impacts until the effects of infrasound and low frequency noise are properly assessed.
Local officials said they also reached out to other municipalities and were able to convince the town boards of Macomb and Richland to adopt similar resolutions urging the state to enact a moratorium on industrial wind development.
What sparked the movement was a resolution adopted by the Wisconsin Towns Association last month advising the Wisconsin Public Service Commission to ban wind development, citing the need for further studies.
Wisconsin Towns Associations decision was based on an infrasound and low frequency noise study report submitted to Wisconsins PSC.
In the Dec. 28 report, several noise consultants including Hessler Associates Inc., BP Wind Energys noise consultant for the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm recommended that more in-depth impact studies be conducted.
In their resolution, Cape Vincent officials do not specifically call for a moratorium as did the Wisconsin Towns Association, but requests that all deliberations and decisions concerning turbine noise under the state Article X siting process be put on hold until the Wisconsin studies on infrasound and low frequency noise are completed and the final report is made available for public review and study.
Town Councilman John L. Byrne, who has been spearheading the effort, said the wording of Cape Vincents resolution was tweaked slightly but accomplishes the goal.
Mr. Byrne said he is also trying to get more municipalities and the New York State Association of Towns to support the movement.

POTSDAM - After falling short in their first attempt to clinch sole possession of NAC Central title, the Potsdam Central girls soccer team sealed the deal with a 6-0 win over OFA in the regular season finale for both teams.
At their turf field, the Lady Sandstoners scored two goals 39 seconds apart in the third minute of the game.
OFA will look to earn another game with the top-seeded Sandstoners in travelling to Salmon River on Monday for the Fifth seed vs. Fourth seed of the Section 10 Class B tournament.
Kalie Grant opened the scoring 2:12 into the game assisted by Ally Miller. Annette Rishe then broke through for the first of her four goals 39 seconds later. Eighth-grader Hannah Drechsel also scored while Grant finished with a pair of helpers.
Bre Sapp was credited with two saves backstopping the shutout. and Jordyn Marcellus fielded four shots for OFA (1-3, 2-12).
In other NAC Central finales Massena capped a fast finish blanking Salmon River 4-0 led by two goals from Iastha Porter and Malone checked Norwood-Norfolk 4-0as Katie Lamica, Katelyn Fouse, Lauren Reynolds and Hannah Perry netted the goals while Abigail Collins fashioned a pair of assists.
Generating 22 shots on goal the OFA Junior Varsity Girls Soccer team tied Potsdam 1-1 on Thursday.
All of the girls played well today. We kept the ball in their end for most of the game, but just couldnt get another goal. We had 22 shots on net and the girls passing has really improved, said OFA Coach Renee Tebo.
Right-wing Erin Tooley scored at 18:59 in the first half, after a scramble in front of the net. Potsdam scored at 27:42 in the first half.
Erin is such a solid player. She runs through every ball and never backs down said Coach Tebo.
Jill Lincoln, Jadienne Averill, Kelsey Pinkerton, and Abby Marshall hustled on defense. Ali Moore, Natalee Ryan, Ashley Barr, and Claire Mallette controlled the midfield and Lexi Kennedy, Kiera Johnson, and Sarah Bracy moved the ball well on offense.
OFA keeper Alicia Garcia finished with 10 saves.
In OFA Swim action, the Devils earned a 117-50 win at Gouverneur. Results will appear in Saturdays paper.

Midwest Living Review
We're not sure if the front desk staff members are current Notre Dame students or recent graduates, but they are young and well-trained in hospitality. We rolled in at almost 11 p.m., and the front desk clerk was friendly, professional, made eye contact, pointed us toward coffee and cookies and explained that the renovations are continuing. The buildings have fresh-painted green siding and cream trim. The lobby (and the rooms) have big black-and-white photos from the Notre Dame campus, transferred to artists' canvases. The lobby is small but has a computer and printer for public use. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The king bed had white, navy and taupe linens (rocking the ND colors!) and plenty of pillows, plus a settee at the foot of the bed for luggage. The room had dark wood end tables with brushed nickel knobs on the drawers. While the lamp bases were old--from the '70s, maybe?--they appeared to have been refurbished, and the lamp shades were oval and new. The room also had a long dresser, also dark wood with the square knobs, and a big flat-screen TV sat on top of it. The kitchenette area has granite counters, a mini fridge, a microwave and coffee maker, plus a sink with glasses and coffee cups. The room also had a full-size desk for working, with an ergonomic desk chair, and the room comes with free wi-fi (no problems logging on). The updated bathroom, done in all-white ceramic tiles, had a sink and closet-area with a full-size ironing board separated from the water closet and tub/shower. An Archive body bar made with shea butter and scented with green tea and willow was a nice touch in the bath.One down side: We could hear our neighbors moving around a bit, but given how late we checked in and how early we checked out, this wasn't an issue for us. A colleague who checked in earlier in the day said she could hear the people on the floor above her walking around, though.Breakfast in the morning was the standard array of cereals, breads, bagels, fruit, yogurt, plus a hot breakfast bar with eggs, bacon, biscuits and a make-your-own waffle station, all included in the price of your room. A server walked around quite a bit while we were there to keep food filled, tables clean and coffee cups refilled. Overall, for the $89 rate we paid that night, the hotel was a tremendous value.

Everyone has to start somewhere.
Beginning Monday, high school football coaches and players around Rhode Island will officially take the first steps – baby ones, mind you – in a journey that both parties hope culminates with the following symbolic gesture: Dumping a large bucket of ice water on the Super Bowl-winning coach come the first weekend in December.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
Beginning Monday, high school football coaches and players around Rhode Island will officially take the first steps – baby ones, mind you – in a journey that both parties hope culminates with the following symbolic gesture: Dumping a large bucket of ice water on the Super Bowl-winning coach come the first weekend in December.
Call it a shivering, euphoric reward rooted in mission accomplished. A year ago, this was Chris Skurka and his dominating Cumberland High grid outfit, one that captured all 12 of its Division II contests – seven during the regular season, two non-leaguers and three more in the playoffs – en route to providing the town with a celebration fit for a Super Bowl champion.
Time will tell if the Clippers can replicate the lofty heights climbed by their 2012 predecessors. For right now, all Skurka is concerned with is getting back to work following an offseason that to the fifth-year mentor seemed to drag on forever.
"It's good to move on and start all over again," stated Skurka when reached by phone over the weekend. "This group has big shoes to fill, which is absolutely true. They have the ability, but what we've been telling the kids is that you've got to believe in the program and system.
"It's one of those things where you've been there and you know the hard work it takes, but you keep working at it," Skurka continued. "You don't worry too much about last year."
While the 16-player senior class that proved instrumental in delivering the program's first outright title in 40-plus years has graduated and moved on, Skurka was quick to point out that the cupboard is far from bare. For those that closely tracked Cumberland's progress a year ago, you may recall that the vast majority of the games were decided by halftime.
Skurka did allow his high-powered unit to return for a few series in the third quarter before turning the reins over to the J.V. members. Undoubtedly, the coaching staff was probably cognizant of the idea that by providing the understudies with a taste of varsity life, the groundwork was being laid for the following season, which in a few weeks will become THIS season.
"It was a tremendous asset that a lot of the young kids were able to play in the games and experience what varsity football is like," Skurka concurred. "They had great examples to follow."
A new season also means a chance for new leaders of the 12th-grade variety to emerge. Skurka has already bestowed captain honors on seniors Joe Fine (tailback) and Josh Pizzarelli (defensive lineman). Both have been starting mainstays the past three seasons with Pizzarelli experiencing varsity ball as a ninth grader.
In Chris Hayes, the Clippers welcome back another key defensive cog who led the '12 Clippers in tackles. Hayes is also a captain.
"We have a good core of kids who really contributed to our success, but there's a lot of responsibility that goes into being a captain of a football team," Skurka pointed out. "They (meaning Fine, Pizzarelli and Hayes) have some growing to do in that area, but that will come with time. Hopefully things fall into place and these guys learn their lesson about not taking anyone for granted and see how it goes."
Preseason camp for Cumberland will feature numerous position battles. The most notable one figures to come at quarterback, where junior Tyler Calabro and Kyle Masse, who according to Skurka played out of position at cornerback last season, will vie to replace the void left behind by Brendan Guerin.
"Unless you're Tom Brady, you've got to get better, and nothing makes you better than having someone who wants the job too. You've got to have competition," was Skurka's ode to letting the chips fall where they may. "Everyone's job is up for grabs every year. As a coach, you have a depth chart in your head and have things in mind that you would like to see work out, but you give everyone a fair shake before making those tough decisions and moving forward."
It's been common to see R.I. football teams begin practicing one week ahead of the other fall sports. With Thanksgiving falling on Thursday, Nov. 28, which is the latest possible date the holiday can fall, the Interscholastic League deemed that football would have the same start-up date as soccer, cross country, volleyball and field hockey.
"It hurts a little, but everyone is dealing with the same time constraints, which makes for a level playing field," pointed out Skurka. "If you went back to school after Labor Day, you in essence could have that week back, but no one will be able to practice more because we'll all be in school."
The RIIL has strict standards of how preseason practice time is conducted. The first two days are helmets only with shoulder pads introduced later in the week.
"You don't have any contact until Day 6, which would be Saturday," Skurka pointed out. "Work can still be accomplished without contact."
The middle of next week is when teams are allowed to scrimmage other teams. To that end, Cumberland is lined up to face Lincoln and Portsmouth.
Skurka has been informed that the installation of a new, state-of-the-art turf surface at Tucker Field will be complete in time for the Friday, Oct. 4 game against St. Raphael. The pigskin contest is slated to serve as the official christening to the refurbished complex with Skurka noting that a pregame ceremony is in the works.
As for Cumberland's non-leaguer against Cranston West on Saturday, Sept. 14, Skurka reports that the 2 p.m. kickoff has been shifted to Bryant University's Bulldog Stadium.
Regarding the R.I. football officials saga, last Tuesday's gathering at Cranston's Pawtuxet Athletic Club produced a understanding that would allow members of the Rhode Island Football Officials Association to work R.I. high school games this autumn.
"Our association decided for the betterment of the (RIIL) and the student-athletes to remain registered and work the games," stated Bruce Guindon, a Pawtucket native and registered official.
The parameters laid out by new official overseer Jim Ashley remain in effect, most notably the one pertaining to the vast majority of RIFOA members getting put on ice the first three weeks of the season. The exception is the 16 R.I. officials who signed on with the Interscholastic League when the RIFOA was considering going in another direction. Those 16 will be allowed to referee games beginning Friday, Sept. 13.
Guindon did mention that there remains a chance that Ashley could end up assigning a R.I. ref who doesn't fall in the "Sweet 16" category to a game during Weeks 1-3, providing there's an opening. All of the five-person crews overseeing games in the state's northern sector – that's 22 schools – will feature a mixture of Rhode Island and Massachusetts officials.
By comparison, crews assigned to the 19 schools making up the Ocean State's southern and western tiers will be determined by Rick Bogart of the Southern Connecticut Officials Association with heavy input from Ashley. The only way that a RIFOA member could work a game outside of its northern jurisdiction would be if Bogart informs Ashley that an opening is available.
As far as Injury Fund games go, Guindon said that no assignments have been made.
Staying on topic, the Injury Fund round-robin contests that have served as a dress rehearsal for teams are slated for Thursday, Sept. 5 and Saturday, Sept. 7.
Sept. 5 will be a busy night locally. At Lincoln High's Ferguson Field, the schedule is as follows: Shea-Woonsocket at 5 p.m., Central Falls-Tolman at 6 p.m., St. Raphael-East Providence at 7 p.m. and Cumberland-Lincoln at 8 p.m.
Over at Smithfield High, Ponaganset will take on North Smithfield at 6 p.m. followed by Johnston-North Providence at 7 and Burrillville-Smithfield an hour later.

One bolt over East Carbon was a small part of a two-day temper tantrum by Zeus.
Power to thousands of Castle Country homes was knocked out Wednesday and Thursday as violent wind, heavy rainfall and lightning strikes played havoc with electrical lines and equipment.
Rocky Mountain Power Region Manager Deb Dull said that all local crews and three contract crews pulled in from out of the area worked through the night to restore power. By Thursday afternoon, service all but about 25 customers had been restored.
Outages affected customers in East Carbon, Sunnyside, Castle Dale, Ferron, Lawrence, Huntington, Cleveland and Elmo on the Rocky Mountain system. Price and Helper, which rely on Rocky Mountain maintenance service, were also affected in some parts. East Carbon's lights went out at 3 p.m. Wednesday, came back on at 9 p.m., then were knocked out again Thursday morning as wind, rain and lightning pounded the area.
In addition to the wild weather, the scattered pattern of the outages slowed the repairs. Getting from one town to another and to places as distant as Horn Mountain takes extra time, Dull explained.
One of the crews called in from out of town specialized in repairs to transmission lines. The 46,000-volt lines were most affected.
To report an outage or downed lines, people should call the toll-free number 1-877-508-5088. Rocky Mountain Power also has advice for customers on how to prepare for interruptions in power and precautions to take in emergencies on its website, www.rockymountainpower.net.

New 2nd generation NeuroCore® is packed with powerful precise doses of scientifically studied, fully disclosed key ingredients, including a newly added energy and focus complex to bring an added edge to any hardcore training session.
Enhance Muscle
NeuroCore contains 3200mg of beta-alanine – the exact dose scientifically shown to help enhance the muscle- and strength-building process.
Amplify Strength
A highly potent and unique creatine known as creatine HCl has been infused into the formula. Creatine is clinically validated to amplify gains in size and strength.
Long-Lasting Muscle Pumps NeuroCore is formulated with a research-tested dose of pure L-citrulline instead of L-arginine for intense, long-lasting muscle pumps. L-citrulline has shown in research to reach superior peak plasma arginine levels compared to a larger dose of L-arginine.1
Intense Focus
NeuroCore contains 150mg of L-theanine, which helps support improved focus.2
Enhanced Sensory Experience
A potent yohimbe bark extract has been added to NeuroCore supplying rauwolscine and yohimbine, which are categorized as selective alpha-2 receptor antagonists. Human research indicates that blocking alpha-2 receptors may play a significant role in supporting blood flow.

MASSENA A village curfew will make it illegal for anyone below the age of 16 to be out between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said police will begin enforcing the new regulations May 1.
There was a similar curfew in place from 1969 until the mid-1990s, when village legal counsel recommended that police stop enforcing it due to First Amendment conflicts. Revisions have been made to the law to clear up any constitutional conflicts, including a provision allowing parents to let their child be out between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. for school, religious and community functions.
It doesnt take away a parents right to decide when their child may be out, Mr. Currier said.
Parents must give the child a signed and dated note stating the reason why they are out after curfew.
Curfew violators will face 20 hours of community service, and repeat offenders could be petitioned into St. Lawrence County Family Court. Parents of offenders will face a $50 fine for the first offense, $100 for a second offense, $250 for a third offense and subsequent offenses could be punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
Mayor James F. Hidy said the curfew was a good rule he lived with growing up in Massena.
It worked when I was a kid growing up, and I think it can for young people today, Mr. Hidy said. Theres no foreseeable reason for adolescents to be out after 10 oclock. Several generations were raised with that curfew.
Mr. Currier and Mr. Hidy see the curfew as another tool in local law enforcements arsenal toward combating crime and public nuisance. Mr. Currier said that increases in misdemeanor crimes committed by young people spurred the effort to reintroduce the curfew. These crimes were mostly related to criminal mischief, property damage, vandalism and violating the local noise ordinance.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Saxagliptin and metformin combination is used to treat high blood sugar levels caused by type 2 diabetes. With this type of diabetes, insulin produced by the pancreas is not able to get sugar into the cells of the body where it can work properly. Using saxagliptin and metformin will help to lower blood sugar when it is too high and help restore the way you use food to make energy.
Many people can control type 2 diabetes with diet alone or diet and exercise. Following a specially planned diet and exercising will always be important when you have diabetes, even when you are taking medicines. To work properly, the amount of saxagliptin and metformin combination you take must be balanced against the amount and type of food you eat and the amount of exercise you do. If you change your diet, your exercise, or both, you will want to test your blood sugar to find out if it is too low. Your doctor will teach you what to do if this happens.
Saxagliptin and metformin combination does not help patients who have insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes, because they cannot produce insulin from their pancreas. Their blood glucose is best controlled by insulin injections.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of saxagliptin and metformin combination in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of saxagliptin and metformin combination in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney problems, which may require caution for patients receiving this medicine. This medicine is not recommended in patients 80 years of age and older who have kidney problems.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary.

The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Carefully follow the special meal plan your doctor gave you. This is a very important part of controlling your condition, and is necessary if the medicine is to work properly. Also, exercise regularly and test for sugar in your blood or urine as directed.
Saxagliptin and metformin combination should be taken with the evening meal to help reduce stomach or bowel side effects that may occur during the first few weeks of treatment.
Swallow the extended-release tablet whole. Do not crush, break, or chew it.
While taking the extended-release tablet, part of the tablet may pass into your stools. This is normal and is nothing to worry about.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.

Under certain conditions, too much metformin can cause lactic acidosis. The symptoms of lactic acidosis are severe and quick to appear, and usually occur when other health problems not related to the medicine are present and are very severe, such as a heart attack or kidney failure. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include: abdominal or stomach discomfort; decreased appetite; diarrhea; fast or shallow breathing; a general feeling of discomfort; muscle pain or cramping; and unusual sleepiness, tiredness, or weakness.
If symptoms of lactic acidosis occur, you should get immediate emergency medical help.

This medicine may cause serious types of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema. These conditions may be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Stop using this medicine and check with your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; a large, hive-like swelling on the face, eyelids, lips, tongue, throat, hands, legs, feet, or sex organs; trouble with breathing; or chest tightness while you are using this medicine.
It is very important to carefully follow any instructions from your health care team about:
Saxagliptin and metformin combination can cause low blood sugar. However, this can also occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, drink alcohol, exercise more than usual, cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting, take certain medicines, or take saxagliptin and metformin combination with another type of diabetes medicine. The symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they lead to unconsciousness (passing out). Different people feel different symptoms of low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms of low blood sugar you usually have so you can treat it quickly.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) include: anxiety; behavior changes similar to being drunk; blurred vision; cold sweats; confusion; cool, pale skin; difficulty with thinking; drowsiness; excessive hunger; fast heartbeat; headache (continuing); nausea; nervousness; nightmares; restless sleep; shakiness; slurred speech; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes; or drink fruit juice, non-diet soft drink, or sugar dissolved in water. Also, check your blood for low blood sugar. Glucagon is used in emergency situations when severe symptoms such as seizures (convulsions) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe and needle, and know how to use it. The members of your household should also know how to use it.
Symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) include: blurred vision; drowsiness; dry mouth; flushed, dry skin; fruit-like breath odor; increased urination (frequency and volume); ketones in the urine; loss of appetite; sleepiness; stomachache, nausea, or vomiting; tiredness; troubled breathing (rapid and deep); unconsciousness; or unusual thirst.
High blood sugar may occur if you do not exercise as much as usual, have a fever or infection, do not take enough or skip a dose of your diabetes medicine, or overeat or do not follow your meal plan.
If symptoms of high blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level and then call your doctor for instructions.
This medicine is only part of a complete program for controlling diabetes. It is important that you always eat a healthy diet, watch your weight, and get regular exercise.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

Get Cameron Diaz's Cat-Eye Look
Copy Cameron Diaz's Captivating Kitten Eye

To do this, Lovell used the Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Gypsy ($38) to create a glistening neutral eye. She started by applying the sheer shimmering shade on the lids, followed by the bronze tone in the creases and on top of the lash lines. For definition, Lovell then applied Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner ($32). "I started with a very thin line at the inner corner of the eye and made it thicker as I went along, kicking it out for a subtle kitten eye," Lovell explained. "After the liquid liner, I went back along the line with the deep copper shadow to soften it — it's not so retro that way." Finish off with mascara and a set of full falsies (a woman's version of cat whiskers).

The efficient and very cheap public transport system makes Mexico City surprisingly easy to get around; it consists of the metro, buses, trolley buses and minibuses (peseros). The metro is the best method of travel, being fast and easy to use (6am to midnight), but bus routes are also very extensive and the buses are generally reliable, although more complicated for non-Spanish speakers to use. Peseros are smaller, more comfortable, and faster than buses, but slightly more expensive, and can be stopped anywhere along their set routes. All forms of public transport are heavily crowded during peak hours and are best avoided at this time. Visitors should also be aware that crime levels are high on all buses and the metro, particularly when crowded; visitors should avoid travel on public transport at night and should take care of their possessions. Visitors should not hail taxis on the streets. Most hotels have official taxi drivers assigned to them or hotels and restaurants can call radio taxis, both of which are more expensive but safer and more reliable. Driving in the city is a nightmare and cars should be left in secure parking; renting is expensive and lone drivers are prone to criminal assaults at night.
Local time is GMT -6 (GMT -5 between the first Sunday in April and the second last Sunday in October).
130 volts, 60Hz. Two-pin flat blade attachment plugs are standard.
Mexican currency is the New Peso (MXN), divided into 100 centavos. Credit cards are widely accepted, particularly Visa, MasterCard and American Express. ATMs are available in most cities and towns and are the most convenient way to get money, but for safety reasons should only be used during business hours and vigilance is advised. Although many businesses will accept foreign currency (particularly US Dollars) it is best to use pesos. Foreign currency can be exchanged at one of many casas de cambio (exchange houses), which have longer hours and offer a quicker service than the banks.
The international access code for Mexico is +52. Some US long-distance phone companies have access numbers which can be dialled in order to use your phone card - calls are usually cheaper than direct-dialled calls from a hotel room. If calling internationally from a phone booth use the official TelMex phone booths, as all others charge very high fees. GSM mobile networks cover most of the country, but international roaming costs can be exorbitantly high. Internet cafes are widely available, especially in tourist-orientated areas.

Mexico City has a subtropical highland climate, with warm summers and mild winters, and an annual average temperature of 64°F (18°C). Seasonal variations in temperature are small, but May is the warmest month of the year, and January the coldest, when night frosts are possible. The maximum temperatures of late spring and summer may reach up to 90°F (32°C), and the lowest winter temperatures reach 23°F (-5°C) in low-lying regions but these extremes are rare. Mexico City has a high average annual rainfall, most falling in summer, the wettest month being July, and the driest month February. Even during the summer rainy season, travellers are likely to get plenty of sunshine between showers. Mexico City suffers from terrible air pollution and the city is often smoggy, with poor visibility. This air pollution is at its worst during winter. The city is a year-round travel destination, but the best time to visit Mexico City is in the spring months of April and May.
The Mexico City Metro subway system links the airport to downtown Mexico City. There are also suburban bus services including Autobuses del Oriente (ADO), Autobuses Estrella Roja, and Autobuses Pullman de Morelos. Some hotels offer a pick-up service; however, it is worth checking their charge as it is generally cheaper to take a taxi.
Car rental companies include Avis, Budget, Hertz and National.
Taxis are regulated and passengers can pay in advance at the taxi counter in Arrivals. Authorized taxis are white and mustard yellow with an aeroplane logo. It takes about 45 minutes to the city centre.
Passengers can ride the free Air Train between the two terminals. The general public have to take the public transportation bus between the terminals at a nominal charge.
Facilities at the airport include ATMs, banks, bureau de change, business facilities, a post office, restaurants, shops, hotel reservations and tourist information.
Parking at Mexico City International Airport is charged at MXN 44 per hour, up to a limit of MXN 288 per day.
Paid for wifi is available in the international terminal.

Yesterday an awesome and inspiring event took place in San Francisco, but it didn't have anything to do with Apple's big day. It was all about pi.
Up in the San Francisco sky three jets succeeded in writing the first 10,000 numbers of pi. That's right, pi: the old ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Most of us know it from high school math class as "3.14159… - the number that never ends.
The planes wrote the numerals in smoke in dot matrix format a quarter-mile high. Each plane wrote every third number in a string that extended for 150 miles around San Francisco.
An artist and a design company came up with this incredibly creative work of art. They may have just eclipsed the launch of the latest flagship product of one of the most innovative companies in the world. As expected, Apple provided a terrific iPhone, and we can't wait to see the iPad mini unveiling. The project on the ground was impressive, but it wasn't as hypnotic as what Apple used to deliver. But those on the ground couldn't keep their eyes off what was happening in the sky.
Someday soon Apple, please hypnotize us again.
