POTSDAM Construction on an extension to Canton-Potsdam Hospitals campus at 49 Lawrence Ave. is nearing completion as the hospital prepares to open a one-stop health care shop.
The 20,000-square-foot, $5.5 million extension is slated to open its doors in October, later than the August opening originally planned.
The delays were a result of an aggressive initial timetable, rather than any particular problems with construction, according to hospital spokeswoman Rebecca J. Faber.
The building itself is nearly complete. The windows are installed and the roof is shingled. Workers have begun to install counters, cupboards and desks in reception areas and exam rooms. A pass-through still has to be constructed to connect the building with the Lawrence Avenue campus.
The hospital envisions the new location as a one-stop shop. A nutritionist, a social worker, nurses and primary care physicians will all work out of the site.
The new facility is really going to be a change to how medical care has been provided in the past. Its a team concept, Ms. Faber said.
In theory, these combined services and focus on preventive care should reduce the need for hospital stays and bring health care costs down, Ms. Faber said.
This matches an industrywide trend of trying to stop health problems before costly hospital stays become necessary.
A lot of care is moving to outpatient services now, Ms. Faber said.
The extension will have enough space for 10 practitioners. Three new physicians have been hired already. For now, existing staff will fill the remaining offices, although the hospital will hire additional nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
The hospital is constantly looking to hire doctors to fill the void of north country physicians.
Were continuing to recruit all the time to try to fill the shortage of primary care physicians in the area, Ms. Faber said.
In addition to preventive trends, the facility will gather population data to measure health trends in the north country, to better target prevalent problems.
Construction of the extension hit several roadblocks early on. First, the hospital struggled to earn village Planning Board approval, after a disagreement about the proper way to handle stormwater drainage. Then, in May, part of the wood-frame roof collapsed under 40-mph winds.
Both of these obstacles caused only brief delays to construction.

Midwest Living Review
Das Dutchman Essenhaus forms a massive complex of Amish Country attractions on Middlebury's southwest side. There's a restaurant, hotel, conference center, bakery, shops, mini golf, even a noodle factory (which, unfortunately, isn't open to the public). The Essenhaus, as it's commonly known, is best known as an Amish-style restaurant that seats 1,100 people. Located inside a massive, two-story, white frame house, the restaurant is divided into buffet and menu dining rooms and serves hearty meals three times a day. You'll find 20 hot and cold items at the Thresher's breakfast buffet, including eggs, breakfast meats and fresh fruit. French toast, hot cakes, omelets and fried mush fill out the menu. At dinner, visitors choose from chicken, roast beef or ham dinners, served family-style with sides of mashed potatoes, noodles, vegetables, gravy, dressing, hot-baked rolls and dessert. (The Essenhaus prepares 29 varieties of pie.) You won't leave hungry. Dinner costs $15.50-$16.50, depending upon your meat selection, with discounts for kids.
While you wait for a table at The Essenhaus, pass the time with a dizzying array of shops (which, we must admit, left us wondering about the simple, uncluttered lives the Amish promote). Fill your bags with candles, spices, quilts, home decor, toys, furniture and gift items. Purchase fresh baked goods at the bakery. Family activities before or after mealtime include miniature golf, bicycle rentals and Amish carriage rides. Amish-made furniture fills the rooms at the hotel, and modern country decor makes things feel quaint without being too cute. Every room has free wireless access, cable TV and a refrigerator; some include balconies, kitchenettes, fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs, and separate living and sleeping areas. All guests can take advantage of the hotel's complimentary Continental breakfast, indoor pool, exercise and game rooms, a small outdoor patio overlooking the pond, fresh-baked cookies each evening in the lobby and, thank goodness, a network of pleasant walking paths, so you can walk off all of that food. From $104.

Five vinyl toys that should be in your collection
Vinyl Toys are fun. In fact, they actually get more fun and collectible the older you get, an excusable way to relive those toy collection hobbies of our misspent childhoods. But where to start? Here are five Vinyl Toys that we think should feature prominently in your collections: The Nathan Jurevicius Vinyl Toys are original little creations from Melbourne that are proving immensely popular. We especially like the eyes on his creations. This Glow in the Dark Vinyl Toy below is called the Kaiju TriPus and looks amazing. Oh, and it glows in the dark, too. Go figure!

In his recent column entitled "Happy New Year?" the widely respected Thomas Sowell remarks upon the GOP's decades long insistence upon nominating "ad hoc moderates" — like Mitt Romney — as their presidential candidates — even though these moderates unfailingly "get beaten by even vulnerable, unknown or discredited Democrats."
Sowell expresses what appears to be the consensus among many in talk radio, to say nothing of the rank-and-file of the Republican Party.
Sadly, far from shedding light on the GOP's woes, this consensus is a reflection of them.
When Republican voters decry "ad hoc moderates," it is to "Republican-In-Name-Only" (RINO) types that they refer. That is, it is Republican liberals for whom they reserve their disdain. But this grievance implies that there is a meaningful distinction to be drawn between Republicans who are "moderates" and those who are not.
The truth of the matter is that no such distinction exists.
In other words, with few exceptions, the vast majority of Republican politicians are "moderates." In practice, if not always in rhetoric, they are liberals, Big Government tax-and-spenders.
Doubtless, the widely shared perception among those on the right that Mitt Romney is, as Newt Gingrich referred to him in the presidential primaries, a "Massachusetts moderate," is correct. Seldom noted, however, is that Gingrich himself is no less of a "moderate." In fact, Gingrich is actually more of a "moderate" than the former Massachusetts governor.
From his support for "spreading" Democracy around the planet, foreign aid, and an individual "health care" mandate, to his support for a 'flex fuel" mandate, Medicare D, the bank bailouts of 2008, and everything in between, Gingrich is as avid a proponent of Big Government as there is. Yet Gingrich isn't the only "conservative" alternative to Romney from the primaries who isn't conservative. Rick Santorum is another.

Comments about Patagonia Strider Shorts (Women's):
i am 5'5" and 122 lbs and ordered a medium. they fit fine - slightly loose in the waist but they don't move around, so it is comfortable. these were not as lightweight as i hoped but still fine for long runs in the summer.
Comments about Patagonia Strider Shorts (Women's):
I love these shorts I bought 3 pairs and run in them all the time and find them very comfortable. I used to wear nike shorts and I will never go back these are much better.

Comments about Patagonia Strider Shorts (Women's):
I just bought these shorts and ran a 16 mile trail race in them. I was highly annoyed the whole time with the crotch inseam and length. These seem to be made for teenagers or people who want low rider shorts. The shorts rode up in the crotch area the entire time. I was ready to strip down to my undies around 8 miles into the race. I have tons of Patagonia running gear and love it all, with the exception of these shorts. Very disappointed and will be returning. So far, the best running shorts I've found are the North Face flight series shorts.

This costume is a lovely choice for your daughter this Halloween. That is if she doesn't mind the song birds' skulls decorating it. Our Snow White and the Huntsman Tween Ravenna Skull Gown Costume is the perfect choice if she wants to be a dark character. This package includes the dress and crown. The dress is an elegant, long dress in black with silver paisley detailed panels on the bodice and sleeves. But you will also notice the tiny bird skulls that decorate the off-the-shoulder neckline and center of the body that give it an evil edge. The whole dramatic flair of the look is continued with the extra-long draped sleeves and, most importantly for a queen of any kind, the jagged, metal-looking crown. Your daughter will love wearing this dark queen's dress, but don't worry, this costume won't completely transform her into the sinister and vain Ravenna.

Are Liberals "Intellectually Dishonest"?
How would you describe someone who undermines the objective basis for Christianity at every turn but then turns around and professes to be a Christian? I know, I know, the Christianity they profess isn't the one they deconstruct. I do think people are not honest with themselves. We probably all are to some degree about some things. We may think we're handsome or good at something when we're not. We may excuse our behavior and think we've done good things when deep inside we know we've done wrong. I think the intellectually honest thing to do is to abandon any profession of Christianity once it's recognized that Jesus did no miracles, was wrong about the eschaton, didn't fulfill OT prophecy, and did not bodily rise from the dead. I mean really, what does professing to be a Christian mean at that point when it's recognized that Jesus was a failed doomsday prophet like a plethora of them have been who have come and gone?
I'll tell you what I think. I think such a profession is merely to stay within a group, a group of people who do the same things, much like the Moose Lodge, the Elks, or Eagles at that point. Is this meaningful to people who profess such things? Yes. But there is no basis for doing so. Christianity becomes a mere label at that point which some people have applied to Americans as a whole: "I'm an America so I'm a Christian." Is that meaningful? Again, yes, and it may be the true definition of a Christian since Christianity is a culture. All I'm doing is making a case and stating it in as forceful of a way as I can. Will liberals agree? No. But I want to force them to say that their version of Christianity is very far from anything that any Christian of the past would accept. The truth is that liberals did not arrive at their position by a process of abstract reasoning. No. They were forced into it against their preferences by the progress of the sciences. I think they should just acknowledge that and admit they have cut themselves off from any historic understanding of what defines a Christian and then say, "but we like being with these people in this group because we like people."

WHAT IS KATE MURRAY THINKING?Pre-Game: FMIV's back, Okposo Close
Three hours and two additional reads later, I'm even more mystified by the comments of my Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray today on the Newsday site. Read Jim Baumbach's Q & bad A with Murray here.
I was in such a rush to get the word out on Baumbach's article that I included just my brief take. Now that the Islanders' morning skate is over, some follow-up thoughts…
1. From reading the article, you get the sense Supervisor Murray has no clue of any of the Lighthouse Project steps before it landed in her hands. She comes off like Donovan McNabb, unaware NFL games can end in ties.
With her showboating offer to work on the Coliseum now, does the Town Supervisor remember that Charles Wang and Scott Rechler won the rights to the project because Nassau County wanted their vision for a Smart Growth, mixed-use development? It was the County – even more than the developers themselves – who insisted that the simple refurbishing of the Coliseum was not what the region needed.
2. According to a source, the current estimate to "fix" the Coliseum and make it a major league arena is $400 million. After all the time and money Wang and Rechler have already put into this project, it's tough to view Murray's offer as anything except an insult.
3. The Town of Hempstead Supervisor says "We don't even have the draft of the environmental impact statement yet." Just a thought, but that may be because the developers can't draft it until all of the scoping is completed by the various agencies and, you know, the Town of Hempstead.
4. Murray has this wonderful nugget to Baumbach: "As long as four years ago I had offered specifically to the developers to re-develop the Coliseum as a stand-alone project separate and apart from the Lighthouse Project itself."
Really? Four years ago? Wang and Rechler were chosen as the developers by Nassau County (over three other groups, including one led by Fred Wilpon) less than two years ago. Scary stuff.
5. About those jabs at Gary Bettman, or as Kate Murray calls him, "that NHL guy." Look, it's one thing for a hockey blogger and hockey fans to gang up on the league commissioner. Even Bettman knows the drill.
But for the Town Supervisor of Hempstead to go out of her way to elbow the man who runs the league, that's just not smart politics. Look up how much the Islanders annually fill the Town coffers, Supervisor. Look up how many residents have jobs at night because of the little hockey games here.
Bettman has a lot of say about where NHL franchises play. For all the hockey issues Islanders fans have with the league office, Bettman has been guiding the Islanders owner on the arena development issue since Wang purchased the franchise in April, 2000. With Kate Murray's statements – not just about "that NHL guy" but more importantly her lack of any vision (or, it seems, understanding) for the project – ringing in his head, Bettman will continue to be a guiding force.
ETC: Freddy Meyer (hernia surgery) is off the IR and will be partnered with Chris Campoli tonight. Expect Bruno Gervais and Thomas Pock to sit this one out.
Scott Gordon on Kyle Okposo: "Hopefully for the weekend."
In a good bit of hustle, Dan Martin of the Post got hold of Rick DiPietro at Iceworks yesterday. It was announced on November 1 that the goalie had surgery on Halloween and would be out 4-6 weeks. DiPietro has yet to resume skating. Looks like it could be closer to six weeks, if not more.

Ancient Greece: An Illustrated History
Thames and Hudson, 1979 - 192 pages
The influence of the Greeks on Western society has been greater and more fundamental than that of any other nation. Peter Green's authoritative and witty study of Greece during the centuries which proceeded the Hellenistic age is written with all the stylistic and intellectual verve that has brought him a huge following. After considering the mass of evidence which exists today to build up our picture of prehistoric Greece, he describes the culture of Minoan Crete; the Mycenaean civilization in Homeric tradition and in historical fact; the flowering in culture and political thought which began in the mid-eighth century BC; the growth of Athenian democracy; Hellenism; the Persian Wars; and the reversion of authoritarianism in the age which ended with the death of Alexander in 323 BC. Throughout, Green draws the strands of the story together into two major themes; exploration and discovery - both in a literal and creative sense - and the Greek impulse to set the world in order. The result departs radically from the traditional military-political narrative, giving an entertaining and informative picture of the period, complemented by a wide variety of illustrations.

A Watertown man has been indicted on allegations that he caused the death of an Adams teenager by driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle in September.
Gaige W. Knapp, 20, faces counts of second-degree manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving and speeding, as well as two counts of failure to yield the right of way.
The charges were contained in a grand jury indictment handed up Wednesday in Jefferson County Court.
It is alleged that Mr. Knapp was operating a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette at a speed in excess of 100 mph on Sept. 1 on Route 289 in the town of Ellisburg when he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to hit an embankment and roll over several times. A passenger in the car, Trevor D. Robinson, 17, was killed in the accident.
Mr. Knapp, who suffered multiple injuries, was hospitalized at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, for several weeks and then received home health care. He was charged in May by Jefferson County sheriffs deputies with criminally negligent homicide.
Other indictments handed up include:
Luke T. Ogden, 34, address not available, is charged with felony driving while intoxicated. He allegedly operated a vehicle while intoxicated Sept. 8, 2011, in the parking lot of a motel on Route 342 in the town of Pamelia.
Harold F. Phillips Jr., 33, Watertown, is charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony, aggravated DWI as a misdemeanor and failure to stop at a stop sign. Police alleged that he drove with a blood alcohol content of 0.19 percent Sept. 22 on Superior Street while his drivers license was suspended or revoked. A BAC of 0.08 percent or higher is considered proof of intoxication under state law, while aggravated DWI is charged when a motorists BAC is 0.18 percent or higher. It is alleged Mr. Phillips ran a stop sign.
The grand jury returned a no-bill, clearing Dwane E. Jarvis, 43, town of Pamelia, of two counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief. The jury determined there was insufficient evidence to support allegations that Mr. Jarvis had slashed tires on two vehicles in the town of Worth.

Sharing Memories (Week 10) - First Day and Year of School
For many of us that is Kindergarten. What do you remember? Did your mom tell you how you acted that first day? Were you happy? Sad?
Lord Elgin Public School
I recall my first day vividly! I was already reading (at a very beginning level!) when I started Kindergarten and I was very excited to see all the picture books in my new classroom! But the teacher told me I was not allowed to touch the books, none of the children were - she would read them to us. I told her I could read but she told me I was mistaken, that we children would learn to read at school.
The rest of my first day is a blur, but I do remember not liking school very much that first year!
My Kindergarten Picture
Perhaps you have some memories too, or photos that will jog your mind? I've found that the more you write, the more memories flood back that you thought you had lost. Try it, join us and write your own memories as a comment here to this blog post or on your own blog or privately in your own journal at home.

One of my first memories of school was in either kindergarten or first grade. In the morning before school, the students would line up outside their classroom waiting to be let in. For some reason the spot my class lined up was not outside the classroom but outside a common area that 5 classrooms opened into. I liken it to a big entry way into an office building or restaurant. Anyway, one day, I showed up and must have been a minute or 2 late because my class wasn't there. Being 5 or 6, I started to cry and turned around and walked back home!
My mom took me to school (I'm sure she was struggling to keep a straight face) and assured me that I hadn't done anything wrong. The teacher explained that I should just come on into the classroom next time. Duh! I guess when you are 5, you don't think of the obvious!

Found you via hummer's blog. My first day of kindergaarten I remember vividly too. It was the feeling of missing my mom that is sharpest in my memory. I walked to school with my friend, Gail, and we wore the same thing every day. I wore a red sweater and blue overalls. I remember that feeling of loss as my mother let go my hand after leading me and Gail into the classroom.
There were lots of children there and I adjusted. We had yellow cups to drink our milk out of and grey, metal, folding chairs to sit on. They were cold. If you were lucky, you could have a wooden chair, but there weren't enough to go around. I also was shy child and rarely got a wooden chair.
Another great kindergaarten memory for me was singing. I learned wonderful songs at kindergaarten, some of which are still etched in my memory.

I started school in 1951. I was almost 7 by then and I had wanted to start the year before, but because my birthday is in January, I had to wait a year. My older sister was already going to school so I was very disappointed that I couldn't go any earlier. We were living in Orlando, Florida at the time. I remember crying when the first grade teacher had said I had to wait another year. She was so touched that for the rest of that year she sent work home with my sister for me and sent it back corrected. I can't remember her name but I will never forget her.
When it did come time for me to start my family had moved back to Jefferson County, New York. We were living in the Rutland Center area and the teacher's name was Mrs. Elizabeth Cook. She not only was my teacher but she taught the whole school. It was in a one room school house and I have always been so thankful for that experience. It had an old wood burning stove in the front of the room, a large black board, and the teachers desk was there. On the left side was the lower grades where I sat, I think there was one other first grade student that year. The older children sat on the right side.
As you came in the front door there was a coat room on one side and an old fashioned outside type toilet on the other side. No running water but a well in the front yard it also had a swing set , slide & etc in the back of the school. Everyone walked back and forth to school. It was to become one of the last schools of it's kind in Jefferson County.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (Registry) is to detect any major teratogenic effect involving any of the Registry drugs when administered to pregnant women. Registration is voluntary and confidential with information obtained from the health care provider. A Registry-assigned identifier allows for follow-up capability. Information on subjects is provided to the Registry prospectively (prior to the outcome of pregnancy being known) through their health care provider, with follow-up obtained from the health care provider after the outcome is determined. Providers are strongly urged to enroll their patients as early in pregnancy as possible to maximize the validity of the data. In addition, the Registry is very interested in assembling a group of providers who are willing to make a commitment to report all of their site's antiretroviral pregnancy exposures to the Registry, thereby assuring all cases can be considered prospective. Providers are encouraged to contact the Registry for more information about this group. The Registry is informed in its analysis by other data, for example, retrospective reports and clinical studies.
Given the increasing number of medications and more aggressive approach to therapy, more HIV-infected women may be treated during pregnancy or become pregnant while under treatment. The paucity of data on use and infant outcomes of antiretroviral therapies during pregnancy makes this Registry an essential component of the ongoing program of epidemiologic studies of the safety of these therapies.
Each year the Registry enrolls approximately 1300 pregnant women exposed to antiretroviral drugs. This number represents approximately 15% of the 8,700 HIV positive women who give birth to live infants annually in the US.

Zidovudine is indicated for use in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy to reduce the risk of maternal-fetal HIV transmission. There are also several other completed and ongoing studies in maternal-fetal transmission with other therapies. However, the safety of prenatal zidovudine or any other antiretroviral therapy exposure to the fetus has not been established.

Chris Young
When an artist looks back on his or her own career, there are always moments he or she can point to where there was a shift to another level. Those defining moments tend to be easy to spot with the benefit of hindsight but more difficult to see without the passage of time. Yet Chris Young has a sense that something is happening.
"I really do believe in timing," says Young. "Everybody has a different point in their career when things start to come together and click, when it's your time."
With the release of his third studio album, NEON, Chris Young leaves no doubt. Now is his time.
How's this for everything clicking – NEON's first single, "Tomorrow," one of an impressive seven songs on the album co-written by Young raced to the top of the charts and is certified PLATINUM by the RIAA for sales exceeding 1 million downloads. The second single, "You," also hit the top spot on the charts making it Young's fifth consecutive #1. Both "You," and "Voices," the record breaking hit from his sophomore release, have certified Digital Gold.
And as far as timing – Young's career is ticking like a Swiss watch. His smash hit "Gettin' You Home," also a #1, earned him his first-ever Grammy nomination. Young joins an elite group of superstars as he earned a nomination in the MALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR and SINGLE RECORD OF THE YEAR categories for the 47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in 2012. All signs are pointing skyward as NEON debuted at #4 on the all genre Billboard Top 200 chart with more than 72,000 first week fans declaring their devotion to Young. He's also been fêted by the media with glowing reviews in USA Today, People, Associated Press and Billboard in addition to high profile TV appearances on Good Morning America, The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Talk,Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Katie and Fox & Friends.
While all the sales numbers, accolades and awards are certainly appreciated, what Young values most about this time in his life is that he can make a living doing what he loves most.
"Music is why I'm here and it's something I can't live without," says Young. "It's what I'm built to do."
That thrill of entertaining took hold of Young at an early age. His first moments on a stage involved acting in school plays, but it wasn't long before he realized he wanted to showcase a different talent in the spotlight. "I love to sing," admits Young. "I was the kid in high school who lived and breathed music every moment of every day."
Totally focused on making his passion a career, Young was playing 150 dates a year by the time he went off to college to major in music. While dead serious about the subject of his studies, he soon felt the need to get a different kind of higher education.
"I did the thing all parents love to hear," says Young with a mischievous gleam in his eye. "I dropped out of school and started making music full time. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that music is what drives me and it was what I had to do."
The honky tonk school of hard knocks -- including a PhD-level class fronting a seven-piece band on a run through Texas -- and countless hours honing his craft at writers nights in Nashville paid off with a record deal and debut on RCA. The self-titled album would go on to earn Young the title of best-selling new country male vocalist for 2006 and a nod for the Academy of Country Music's Top New Male Vocalist award.
Young doubled-down on the success of his first record with the release of his second CD, The Man I Want To Be. Any concern over maintaining momentum vanished when the album powered right through the dreaded sophomore slump with three back-to-back #1 singles.
The impressive streak started with "Gettin' You Home" and picked up steam with the release of the title track. "The Man I Want To Be" was then followed by a song that would earn Chris Young a place in the history books. "Voices" was originally the first single released from Man. It made its initial run up the chart in late 2008 but stalled just inside the Top 40. When the label made the decision to give it a second go two years later, it soared all the way to #1.
"The last time (that) happened was 25 years ago with 'On The Other Hand' for Randy Travis," beams Young, thrilled to have that connection with one of his musical heroes.
All the chart success quickly earned Young the attention of his peers. He was tapped as an opening act for Alan Jackson and Rascal Flatts, where he learned a few tricks of the trade from two very successful entertainers with very different styles. "It's such a great opportunity as an artist," says Young. "To hang with those guys and watch them perform every night and see how they engage their fans." Chris got the chance to learn a few more tricks and earn several thousand more admirers when he joined Jason Aldean on tour in 2012. After selling out his own "Liquid Neon" headlining dates in Chicago, Nashville and New York, this summer Chris will hit the road with Brad Paisley playing more than 25 shows on the "Beat This Summer" Tour.
Young's all-around accomplishments as an entertainer also earned him one of the industry's highest honors: his first-ever Grammy nomination for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for "Gettin' You Home."
"It was so cool and humbling to receive a Grammy nomination," remembers Young. "It's one of those moments I'll never forget. It's exciting to have your name in the hat. Win or not, it confirms that you're doing something right."
To insure that he continued doing "something right" with the new record, Young made sure a trusted friend and seasoned pro was with him in the studio. James Stroud, the veteran producer who worked with Young on Man, was back again for NEON. "Until it stops working, I honestly don't want anyone else to produce my albums. It's so inspiring to be able to work with someone who you have that much admiration for and that much respect for in the studio."
When fans listen to NEON, that strong familiarity between Young and Stroud pays off in the very first track. "I Can Take It From There" is a song that has Young revisiting the romantic vibe of "Gettin' You Home." Expect similar, swoon-worthy results with female fans.
"It's a great way to kick off the record," says Young. "When you pop the CD in, there's no way you'll be confused about what you're listening to. Immediately it's the low end of my voice, some cool guitar tones, steel and a kind of cool, sexy vibe. This was kind of a kindred spirit to the last album."
With the upbeat "Lost," a song celebrating broken GPSs, long country drives and looking deep into someone's eyes, country music fans have found their soundtrack for summer. "There are so many people who are going to be able to connect with this," says Young. "Put that song on repeat and roll the windows down."
Young follows the debut single "Tomorrow" with the tongue-in-cheek public service announcement/party anthem "Save Water, Drink Beer." And then there's the title track.
"When I first heard 'Neon,' I thought to myself, "Man, I've got to cut this before George Strait finds it," laughs Young. "If anybody's looking for classic country music, it's that track. I knew immediately that it was going to be the title of the album."
"I wanted to write with Brett James and Tim Nichols who wrote 'The Man I Want To Be,'" recalls Young. "So I had this title, 'Old Love Feels New.' Immediately Brett picks up a guitar and sings, 'Granddaddy always said.' I wanted to know why he started with Granddaddy, and he said, 'I don't know. It just sounds kind of cool.' Well, my grandparents are that song - they met, fell in love and that was it. We finished it in under an hour."
With "You," Chris Young realized one of his guiltiest pleasures just might be listening to his own music. "That was honestly one of my favorites to put on and listen to on the record," tells Young. "I know I shouldn't be rocking out to my own album, but it's just a great feeling song."
Writing "Flashlight," a surprisingly sweet song about a boy who holds the light as his father works on the car, required a quick co-write with Chris's own dad. "I actually called him and said, 'Hey, when we were working on that Camaro, what size tool did we use?'" recalls Young. "And he immediately answered, 'Nine-sixteenths.' So we put that right in the song."
By including the song "When She's On," Chris gives a helping hand to tongue-tied fellas everywhere. "Every guy wants to find the way to say what that song says to the girl he's dating," Young says with a smile. "And that song is exactly what they all want to hear. So anytime I hear a song like that I want to cut it…because I can never manage to say it correctly."
For the final track of NEON, "She's Got This Thing About Her," it's Chris Young like you've never heard him before. Showcasing one of country music's most striking voices accompanied only by piano and a string section, the song reveals just how much Young has grown as an artist and a wordsmith…and gives us a glimpse on just how far his talent can take him. It's a fitting finale for a country album made for the modern age but delivered by a classic performer with total confidence in his craft.
"I get to do exactly what I love, which is write and create and put it in permanent ink," Young says with a grin. "We didn't put it in pencil."

HEUVELTON A village woman has been accused of breaking into an elderly womans home and attacking her last week.
State police on April 25 charged Kelsey A. Gagnon, 24, of 100 State St., with felony third-degree attempted robbery and misdemeanor fourth-degree criminal mischief.
About 11 p.m. April 24, troopers responded to a report of a robbery in progress at a residence on State Street, where a 74-year-old woman allegedly was attacked by Ms. Gagnon. State police would not release the name or address of the resident.
According to a news release issued Friday by the state police Bureau of Criminal Investigation unit, Canton, Ms. Gagnon had knocked on the door of the elderly womans home and asked to use the telephone because her vehicle had broken down.
The 74-year-old female generously allowed Kelsey Gagnon to use her phone to make phone calls, the release said.
Ms. Gagnon allegedly left the womans home and returned a short time later asking to use the phone again. Troopers said when she was invited in, she grabbed the woman and demanded she hand over her prescription medications.
Investigators said the alleged victim attempted to activate her Life-Line bracelet to call for help, at which time Ms. Gagnon removed the bracelet.
A brief struggle ensued and after Kelsey Gagnon determined she was not getting any medications from the 74-year-old female she fled the residence on foot, the release said.
State police investigators said they were able to locate Ms. Gagnon at her home the morning of April 25 after the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department supplied a lead. Ms. Gagnon is a suspect in a similar burglary and attempted burglary in the Heuvelton area that is under investigation by the sheriffs department.
She was arraigned in Oswegatchie Town Court and sent to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, on $15,000 cash bail or $30,000 bond. Ms. Gagnons case has been moved to St. Lawrence County Court, where it is awaiting grand jury action.

We have all become accustomed to a fossil oil dependent way of living. What if that fossil oil could begin to be replaced by sustainable, carbon neutral, 'drop-in' liquid fuels to power all existing vehicles, boats and aircraft?
Air Fuel Synthesis Ltd (AFS), is working to produce synthetic methanol based alternatives to petrol and diesel from patented processes potentially utilising air-sourced carbon dioxide, Bio-Gas (Methane) and renewable electricity. The Vision of AFS is to manufacture Carbon Neutral synthetic fuels in the UK, which would be produced from a supply of naturally occuring materials.
AFS Successful with RGF 4 Award!
Air Fuel Synthesis has been successful with a Joint Venture funding bid in Round 4 of the Regional Growth Fund applications. AFS will design and build a commercial scale Methanol to Petrol processing plant producing (initially) 1.2m litres of Bio-Fuel annually. The plant will be located at a site in Peterlee and will create 82+ jobs over the project duration, AFS will also install Renewable Energy Generation Technology to provide 'Green' Electricity to the site, so that we are manufacturing a truly 'Carbon Neutral' fuel.
The total grant value is £2.7m against a total Capital Expenditure of £9.0m over the next 3 years and this will be the first installation of this type in the UK.
Ms Monique Purdy, CEO of the AFS Group of companies said "This is the culmination of the hard work put in by the AFS Team since the conception of the business idea and is the first step in the realisation of the Fuel-From-Air vision. I am confident that the recent restructuring of the business and the commitment of new investors will result in a paradigm shift for Transport Fuels in the UK"
AFS expect to have the plant fully operational and servicing clients from the early part of 2015. Discussions are now underway with potential clients and sales partners to develop the retail channels for AFS products.

Injury News: Medic!
Eric Weeks , TheJetsBlog.com
The old phrase when it rains it pours has been in full effect for the Jets thus far this season. Safety Eric Smith sprained his knee during Wednesday's practice and will not play against the Colts. He's likely to miss a few weeks which means rookie Josh Bush will take on his role. Meanwhile, it appears the initial assessment of Kenrick Ellis' return was slightly miscalculated. Instead of the original two week period, that has now been upgraded to 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Sione Po'uha continues to struggle with his lower back injury and while his status is currently in the air, I'd be surprised if he played Sunday leaving Damon Harrison and the newly signed Daniel Muir as the sole healthy nose tackles (though DeVito could move over to the nose if the team chooses to do so). Clyde Gates and John Connor are not practicing today.
Some good news though as Stephen Hill and Dustin Keller, as Bassett noted earlier today, are expected to play and will hopefully help, in some capacity, the Jets' sputtering offense. Nick Mangold sat out of practice for a second consecutive day but is expected to play.

The solution seemed quite simple.
Yet it took Scott Brooks 33 1/2 minutes to make the proper adjustment. But once the Thunder's coach finally did, New Orleans didn't stand a chance.
The solution seemed quite simple.
Yet it took Scott Brooks 33 1/2 minutes to make the proper adjustment. But once the Thunder's coach finally did, New Orleans didn't stand a chance.
Oklahoma City escaped with a 92-88 win over the Western-Conference-worst Hornets on Wednesday night inside Chesapeake Energy Arena and, in the process, extended its winning streak to nine games.
It almost didn't happen. The Thunder found itself in a much more competitive contest than it perhaps should have been largely because Brooks was hell-bent on playing his big lineup against a smaller, more active and athletic unit for the Hornets. Only when OKC went small did the Thunder dodge disaster.
The game-changing moment came with 2:31 remaining in the third quarter. OKC trailed 60-50, its 12-game streak of at least 100 points already in the rearview mirror. That's when Brooks subbed in Eric Maynor for Kendrick Perkins and rode small ball the rest of the way, watching it outscore the Hornets 42-28 to end the game.
"Our big lineup is really good; Perk and Serge (Ibaka) protecting the basket and getting rebounds and helping our guards guard in pick and rolls," Brooks said when asked why he stuck with his more conventional lineup. "But there's going to be times in an 82-game season where you have to change things up …"
Floor-time stats of the Thunder's five-man units make it clear that the Thunder's offense is at its best when playing small ball, or one big man. But on a night when the Thunder's offense was the most out of sync it's been all season, Brooks resisted the change. The decision was even more curious considering the Hornets played major minutes with a three point guard lineup featuring Brian Roberts, Austin Rivers and Greivis Vasquez.
For large stretches, Perkins was defending Rivers and Vasquez, two players who are listed as being four and six inches, respectively, shorter than Perkins.
"It's hard, man," Maynor said of containing a three point guard lineup. "That's with anybody if you get a 6-10 guy on you and you're 6-2. That's what they kept trying to do, trying to flatten our people out and trying to make plays that way."
It was working.
Roberts, a 27-year rookie who went undrafted in 2008, scored 10 points through three quarters. Rivers and Vasquez combined for another 10 over that stretch.

President Barack Obama, a Democrat, wants Congress to extend a student loan interest rate cut set to expire in July; Mitt Romney, the odds-on favorite to head the Republican ticket opposing Obama in November, agrees. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican considered a likely running mate for Romney, is pushing a bill that would allow young illegal immigrants to remain in the United States legally under certain conditions; Romney refuses to say whether he supports it despite having privately endorsed it. What gives?
The answer, of course, is politics. Romney, thinking he now has the GOP nomination in the bag, is trying to straddle the political divide, moderating his tone for the general election without alienating the Republican base that must turn out on Election Day if he is to prevail over Obama.
Obama has decided to push the student loan issue as a way to drum up excitement for his candidacy among young voters, most of whom still support him but — perhaps having been disappointed in his administration's relative continuity with that of George W. Bush — are considerably less eager to show up at the polls to vote for their man than they were four years ago.
The interest rate on Stafford loans is currently 3.4 percent, down from 6.8 percent in 2007, when the Democrat-controlled Congress passed a law gradually reducing rates through this year. The rate, however, is set to return to its 2007 level in July if Congress does not reauthorize the cut.
Obama is asking Congress to do just that, arguing that allowing the rate cut to expire would add nearly $1,000 a year to the debt of each of 7.5 million students. He made a pitch for it in his weekly radio and Internet address and is campaigning for it in person at universities and on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Prize liability cap. Should the total prize liability, as defined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures, exceed the Liability Cap (as defined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures), the second and third prizes shall be paid on a pari-mutuel rather than fixed prize basis, provided, however, that in no event shall the pari-mutuel prize be greater that the fixed prize. The amount to be used for the allocation of such pari-mutuel prizes and related calculations of pari-mutuel prize values shall be as defined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures.
Pari-mutuel Treatment of Megaplier Prize Categories Two (2) and Three (3).The expected payout percentage for an Mega Millions Megaplier drawing is 50% of Mega Millions sales. However, because Mega Millions Megaplier pays out fixed prizes, the total prize liability will be above or below 50% of sales based on the number of winning plays at each prize level. If the base prizes awarded for any Mega Millions drawing meet the pari-mutuel criteria of the Mega Millions liability cap, as outlined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures, then the Megaplier prizes shall be calculated upon the same pari-mutuel basis. Prize Categories Two (2) and Three (3) shall be an amount equal to the pari-mutuel prize value multiplied by the Megaplier number selected for that drawing.
Drawing Times
Mega Millions drawings are conducted Tuesdays and Fridays (10:00 p.m. CST) by the Georgia Lottery.
One drawing machine is available for the 5/75 portion of Mega Millions drawing and one machine is available for the 1/15 portion of Mega Millions drawing. If either machine is out of service, the Georgia Lottery's Lotto drawing machine is reprogrammed for Mega Millions drawing. The particular ball set to be used for each component of a given Mega Millions drawing is determined by random selection from among the available ball sets.
Prior to each Mega Millions drawing, the Georgia Lottery's Drawing Specialist conducts 3 test drawings with each machine. The balls are then re-racked in random order and the machine resealed until the official drawing is conducted. After the official drawing, 2 more test draws are conducted with each machine to ensure the validity of the official drawing results.
You can watch the next drawing on WGN-TV (Tuesday or Friday at 10:00 p.m. CST). Winning Numbers are published in most local newspapers and here.
