Days after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into legislation the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, supporters and objectors united for the Newtown Memorial Fund benefit concert Sunday.
Were trying to get away from all that, Brenda L. Parker said of the gun debate. Ms. Parker is the former president of the North Side Improvement League.
The benefit was organized by Upstate Musicians and hosted at the league, 633 Mill St., Watertown. Proceeds will be donated to the Newtown Memorial Fund. The nonprofit organization aims to assist in current and long-term needs of the Newtown community following the Dec. 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in which 20 children and six adults were killed.
Tuesday, close to a month after the incident, the NY SAFE Act was signed into law. The law bans assault weapons rifles, pistols and shotguns and high-capacity magazines. It also imposes harsher penalties for illegal gun use and requires background checks for all gun sales.
Several attendees at the concert, which ran from noon to 10 p.m., were critical of the new state law.
I think they were a little fast on the action, said Bruce A. Dewey, Potsdam.
Mr. Dewey is not a gun owner, but he agreed that people should have the right to bear arms and said overall he is not in favor of the new legislation.
Im an ex-hunter, said James P. Finnerty of Watertown. Theres no reason for anyone to have an assault rifle. Firearms for legitimate sporting purposes should be allowed.
Im opposed; its just as simple as that, said rifle owner Dale A. Blanding, Watertown.
Its not the fault of the gun; its the fault of the people who own guns, said Michael D. Aubin of Natural Bridge.
If theyre insane, theyre not going to care about laws, said 15-year-old Benjamin D. Ruppel of Clayton. Any gun they see, theyll take it and use it.
Lloyd J. Schell of Rutland went as far as to say that the new gun laws would hurt innocent people more than help them.
No matter what you do, its no different than drug laws. ... If a criminal wants it bad enough, theyre going to find it, he said.
Several others declined to comment, citing their lack of knowledge on the topic or the controversy surrounding it.
For many concertgoers Sunday, the issue wasnt gun control, but helping a grieving community.
Benjamins father, Russ Ruppel, seemed bewildered that anyone would put politics first. I dont think theyre here because of the gun laws. Theyre here to support the benefit, he said.

In 2010, the American Culinary Federation (ACF) along with the School Nutrition Association (SNA) led a new coalition of top culinary, nutrition and school organizations to oversee the Chefs Move to Schools (CMTS) program. This exciting initiative was created by First Lady Michelle Obama and Sam Kass, White House senior policy adviser for healthy food initiatives, as part of the White House's Let's Move campaign. ACF continues to support the initiative by developing tools and programs for chefs to implement in schools.
Are you interested in joining the Chefs Move to Schools movement but not sure what's involved? Have you reached out to schools in your community only to hit a roadblock? We hosted a panel discussion during the ACF Central Regional Conference where the panel of chefs shared their experiences, as well as provided valuable insight as to how they navigated school administrative protocols and overcame challenges. If you weren't able to attend in person, watch the video and qualify for one CEH by completing the brief survey.
The Chefs Move to Schools program provides a platform for chefs and schools to form a partnership to work with teachers, parents and school nutrition professionals to collaboratively encourage healthy eating and proper nutrition education to kids in engaging and fun ways. Partnerships involve anything from monthly classroom demonstrations and fruit and vegetable tastings to help in the cafeteria or planting a school garden. Get involved at www.chefsmovetoschools.com.

Read: The Different Ways The 48 Game Schedule Could Break Down
In the NY Times, Jeff Klein writes about the different combinations that the NHL could use to devise a 48 game schedule.
The schedule is going to be comprised of only conference games and could see the Rangers play the Atlantic Division teams SEVEN times each and the ten other Eastern Conference teams twice.
Another way the schedule could break down is for the Rangers to play eight teams THREE times each and the other six teams FOUR teams.

Set against the backdrop of India's breathtaking landscape of mountains, rivers, valleys and forests, Ballad of Rustom is a story about seemingly ordinary people who are in fact quite extraordinary.
Rustom is a young, imaginative man working in a small government telephone offi ce in a remote township in India. On the surface, Rustom leads a mundane life fixing telephone lines, but on his adventures he travels into his dream world in the beautiful and magical countryside that is slowly disappearing as the town is eroded by development.
"This film does not rely on the usual storytelling devices," explains director Ajita Suchitra Veera. "Rather it works on a very different psychological plane. It's traditional cinema, but where the narrative is pushed to the background and what's important is the cinematic experience created through the characters' states of minds."
Ballad of Rustom was shot entirely on 35mm KODAK Film in the CinemaScope format. Veera and cinematographer Shanti Bhushan Roy shot over six months, allowing them to capture the transition of seasons in natural light. Locations included Southern India's exquisite coffee countryside with their undulating landscape of blue hills and dense vegetation.
The film contains different episodes of Rustom's journeys, which alternate between his real and imaginary worlds. Veera worked diligently to utilize the desaturated colors of the landscape, the dialogues between different characters, and the constant presence of nature to tell the story.
"Ballad of Rustom draws attention to those ideas and confl icts that are very much part of our lives and our existence in the contemporary world, and which connect us to an uncertain future as we become more and more disconnected from nature with the disappearance of our natural worlds," says Veera.
Thus, the director chose to shoot Ballad of Rustom on film stock — not only for its aesthetic, but for what it represents.
"KODAK [Film] has always given me great choices as a visual artist," offers Veera. "I'm a photographer myself and I love playing with images, light, color, contrast and texture, to bring an idea — a story — to life cinematically. Film emulsion is very important in expressing moods, feelings and ideas without saying much. Complexity in a scene and characters' states of minds can be visually communicated with contrast and light, and emulsion is crucial in this respect. KODAK Films give me that freedom and latitude."
Roy explains that with the KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 5207 and KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 stocks they could shoot with minimal lights and extend daytime scenes. They ended up shooting a lot of magic hours — early morning shots and many interiors where they could not have used artifi cial lighting to gain the authenticity both he and Veera were trying to achieve.
"We went for push-processing and a bleach bypass to increase the grain, and to get rich, charcoal blacks and washed out colors," says Roy, explaining that they wanted to defi ne the landscape in the fi lm as a character of its own. "This was only possible because of Kodak's ability to handle both under-exposure and over-exposure, and still maintain the details in these areas."
The bleach bypass was a very strong aesthetic choice for Veera. She had previously experimented with it on her graduate thesis fi lm in 2004, and was keen on a high contrast, desaturated look for Ballad of Rustom. In fact, Veera reveals that the imagery of the story came to her much ahead of the narrative storyline.
"I often have images playing in my mind that later are defi ned by a storyline," says Veera. "I was particular about this desaturated color palette with a heightened sense of monochrome to create the surreal atmosphere of Rustom's dream world — of technology, nature and his own subconscious — and also to subtly blend the reality and dream sections in the fi lm, since it constantly moves between the stark reality of Rustom's everyday life and his dream world."
The cinematographer under-exposed the entire film by three stops and pushed the stock by two stops with bleach bypass on the entire negative to attain their specific look.
"The 500T and 250D really helped to find the image quality we had in mind, since both have a layered grain structure which makes it possible to extract details even with fi ve to seven stops of underexposure," explains Roy. "We knew the structure of Kodak motion picture emulsion and its ability to produce true colors and tones would allow us to manipulate the image accordingly to suit the story."

The 1916 proclamation, the manifesto of the 1916 rebels, states
"The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past."
These noble aspirations would become almost a bible of Irish Republican ideals but little did the authors know that within six years, Irish people would have a chance to implement them after The War of Independence in 1922. However the society established after the war of independence "The Irish Free State" was a pale shadow of even the most modest interpretation of this document.
Civil liberties were almost non existent, citizens were not equal with women becoming second class while the poor were plunged further in destitution. The history of early Irish Independence is often passed over with a less than critical eye that glorifies state building at any cost. However behind this abstract veneer lies the story of a dark authoritarian regime based on repression, discrimination and censorship. This was enforced by deeply authoritarian attitudes underscored by severe catholic morality which stifled culture and allowed no political debate or opposition of any kind. By 1937 the "The Irish Free State" had created a society that had betrayed the ideals of what many had set out achieve two decades earlier. read more

Amputations in the Civil War
Originally published as "When Johnny Couldn't Come Marching Home: Civil War Amputations"
by Ansley Herring Wegner
Reprinted with permission from the Tar Heel Junior Historian. Fall 2008.
Tar Heel Junior Historian Association, NC Museum of History
Many wounded soldiers during the Civil War (1861–1865), including those from North Carolina, had an operation called an amputation. In an amputation, a person has an arm or leg (or sometimes just a hand or foot) removed from their body because of a terrible injury or infection. Military advances before and during the Civil War meant more powerful, destructive weapons, and more devastating injuries, including shattered bones. Most American doctors, however, were unprepared to treat such terrible wounds. Their experience mostly included pulling teeth and lancing boils. They did not recognize the need for cleanliness and sanitation. Little was known about bacteria and germs. For example, bandages were used over and over, and on different people, without being cleaned.
With so many patients, doctors did not have time to do tedious surgical repairs, and many wounds that could be treated easily today became very infected. So the army medics amputated lots of arms and legs, or limbs. About three-fourths of the operations performed during the war were amputations.
These amputations were done by cutting off the limb quickly—in a circular-cut sawing motion—to keep the patient from dying of shock and pain. Remarkably, the resulting blood loss rarely caused death. Surgeons often left amputations to heal by granulation. This is a natural process by which new capillaries and thick tissue form—much like a scab—to protect the wound. When they had more time, surgeons might use the "fish-mouth" method. They would cut skin flaps (which looked like a fish's mouth) and sew them to form a rounded stump.
For soldiers who survived amputation and infection, it was natural to want an artificial, or fake, limb—both for looks and for function. An artificial arm will not provide a firm handshake, and an artificial leg will not get rid of a limp. But a prosthetic (another word used for an artificial limb) helps an amputee be less noticeable in public and offers the chance of a more regular daily life. Artificial limbs, especially legs, helped Civil War amputees get back to work to support themselves and their families. Agriculture had declined with so many soldiers away from home. After the war ended, it was important for men to return to their farms and increase production of food and money-making crops. Amputees were no different—they needed to be able to work on their farms, too.
North Carolina responded quickly to the needs of its citizens. It became the first of the former Confederate states to offer artificial limbs to amputees. The General Assembly passed a resolution in February 1866 to provide artificial legs, or an equivalent sum of money (seventy dollars) to amputees who could not use them. Because artificial arms were not considered very functional, the state did not offer them, or equivalent money (fifty dollars), until 1867. While North Carolina operated its artificial limbs program, 1,550 Confederate veterans contacted the government for help.
One Tar Heel veteran, Robert Alexander Hanna, had enlisted in the Confederate army on July 1, 1861. Two years later at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Hanna suffered wounds in the head and the left leg, just above the ankle joint. He suffered for about a month, with the wound oozing pus, before an amputation was done. After the war, Hanna received a wooden Jewett's Patent Leg from the state in January 1867. According to family members, he saved that leg for special occasions, having made other artificial limbs to help him do his farmwork. (One homemade leg had a bull's hoof for a foot!) The special care helped the Jewett's Patent Leg last. When Hanna died in 1917 at about eighty-five years old, he had had the artificial leg for fifty years. It is a remarkable artifact—the only state-issued artificial leg on display today in North Carolina. Hanna's wooden leg, as well as Civil War surgical equipment, may be seen at Bentonville Battlefield State Historic Site in Four Oaks.

did you know that many people dies from amputations and was a very serious surgery because many people died from these amputations mainly because the surgeons didn't know about germs and if you were lucky the surgeon wound wipe the tools off first before cutting of a limb.

Often amputations were done in 10 minutes or less.

NOTE: The Lenti-X HTX Packaging System (Cat. # 631247 and 631249) are being phased out. However, you can continue to purchase the same technology and obtain the same high titer results with Lenti-X Packaging Single Shots (VSV-g).
Lenti-X high-titer lentiviral packaging systems generate lentiviral titers that are superior to most other commercially available lentiviral packaging systems. At titers of 107-108 infectious units (IFU) per ml, you can often transduce an entire dish of target cells using only 10–100 µl of unconcentrated lentiviral packaging cell supernatant.
The concerted effects of these advanced components allow Lenti-X 293T Cells (sold separately) to produce the highest amounts of safe, replication-incompetent lentivirus from any of our lentiviral vectors, or any other lentiviral vector.
The viruses are perfect for transducing delicate, hard-to-transfect cell types, such as primary neuroprogenitor cells. The standard Lenti-X HTX Packaging System is supplied with many of our lentiviral expression systems. Visit our lentiviral vectors page to see the variety of vectors and systems available.

Submission DARPA wants electronics with radically novel liquid cooling technology ->
coondoggie writes: "With increased electronic minituriztion and the density of the chips running such devices heat is a mortal enemy for the power and scalability of such systems. DARPA today announced a program called Intrachip/Interchip Enhanced Cooling (ICECool) that it hopes will go the heart of such heat problems by building chips with a drastically different way of cooling that uses what the agency calls a microfluid channel inside the chip or component that will more effectively dissipate heat than current cooling technologies."

Dr. Natasha Agbai's Ratings
We love and miss Dr. Agbai. We left Dr. Agbai because we relocated to CT. Prior to that we moved from Redwood City to San Jose and continued to see her. She is amazing. She always listened to our concerns and took time out to answer questions. She treated our son with great care and good bedside manners. She was never dismissive not matter how silly our concern seemed to be. Cindy was also amazing. She was very responsive and got back to us quickly when we had quick questions. She always took the time to ask how the kids were doing before dropping us off to wait in the exam room.

Loved her! She was always available, and willing to go the extra mile. I knew when test results would come in she would notify me promptly. She was kind and patient with my children and provided them with excellent care.

New Source Review (NSR) Permitting
Fact Sheet -- Prevention of Significant Deterioration for Fine Particle Pollution– Increments, Significant Impact Levels and Significant Monitoring Concentration
- On September 12, 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to adopt key elements of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program for fine particle pollution - particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5).
- EPA sets National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), for six principle air pollutants. These pollutants also known as criteria air pollutants include fine particles (PM 2.5). When an industrial facility applies for a permit to emit a criteria pollutant in an area that meets the NAAQS, the state and EPA must determine if emissions of that pollutant will deteriorate air quality. This action proposes a basis for making that determination under the Clean Air Act.
- Today's action proposed several different options to calculate the values for each of these thresholds. EPA is taking comment on which of the options is the most appropriate for each respective threshold.
PSD Increments (Increments)
- On October 17, 2006 EPA finalized a new NAAQS for PM2.5 and is now required by the Clean Air Act to determine how much of this pollutant can be emitted in areas already meeting that standard. These determinations are made under the PSD program, which establishes three thresholds of air quality and emissions to guide states in maintaining clean air. These thresholds are known as Increments, Significant Impact Levels, and Significant Monitoring Concentrations.
- An increment is a measure of how much of a pollutant can be added to the ambient air before the air quality will significantly deteriorate. More specifically, increments are the maximum allowable increase in ambient air concentrations of a criteria pollutant from a baseline concentration. Because increments only apply in areas covered by the PSD program, they are generally known as PSD increments.
- EPA is proposing three options for developing and setting PSD increments.
- For the first option, EPA would treat PM2.5 as a new pollutant, rather than a new indicator of particulate matter. This is the same "percent of NAAQS" approach that we used to establish nitrogen oxide (NOx) increment regulations on October 12, 2005 (70 FR at 59586).
- The other two options are variations of an approach EPA has used to establish increments in the past. It is known as the "equivalent increment" approach and based upon a relationship between emissions to observable environmental impacts.
Significant Impact Levels (SILs)
- The SIL is a de minimis threshold applied to individual facilities that apply for a permit to emit a regulated pollutant in an area that meets the NAAQS. The state and EPA must determine if emissions from that facility will cause the air quality to worsen. The SIL is a measure of whether a source may cause or contribute to a violation of PSD increment or the NAAQS, i.e. a significant deterioration of air quality.
- If an individual facility projects an increase in emissions that result in ambient impacts greater than the established SIL, the permit applicant would be required to perform additional analyses to determine if those impacts will be more than the amount of the PSD increment. This analysis would combine the impact of the proposed facility when added on to all other sources in the area.
- EPA is proposing three options for developing SILs for PM2.5:
- For Class I areas EPA would set the SIL to 4 percent of the Class I PM.2.5 increment. Class I areas have the most stringent levels of protection under the PSD program. For Class II and Class III areas, EPA would establish the SIL values of 1.0 µg/m3 for the annual averaging period and 5.0 µg/m3 for the 24-hour averaging period. These are the same levels that already exist for PM10 in 40 CFR 51.165(b)(2).
- EPA would set the value of the PM2.5 SILs by adjusting PM10 SILs as a proportion of the typical point source emissions ratio of PM2.5 to PM10.
- EPA would set the value of the PM2.5 SILs by adjusting PM10 SILs as a proportion of the NAAQS ratio of PM2.5 to PM10.
Significant Monitoring Concentration (SMC)
- The third measure of air quality being addressed in todays action is the Significant Monitoring Concentration (SMC). The PSD program requires facilities to gather and submit 1-year pre-application ambient monitoring data. As part of a permit application, the applicant must conduct modeling to demonstrate the impact of proposed emissions on air quality. If modeling shows an increase in ambient concentrations of pollution by an amount less than the SMC that EPA is proposing today, the source is exempted from the monitoring data requirement.
- EPA is seeking comments on three options for calculating the SMC:
- EPA is proposing that the SMC be based on the "Lowest Detection Concentration," using the approach that was used for establishing the SMC for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) and PM10. i.e., determining the lowest detectable concentration and multiplying this value by five. The rule provides the historical and technical rationale for multiplying this value by 5.
- EPA would set the value of the PM2.5 SMC by adjusting (multiplying) the PM10 SMC by the proportion of PM2.5 emissions compared to PM10 emissions. EPA calculated the PM2.5/PM10 emissions ratio as a national average using the 2001 extrapolation of the 1999 National Emissions Inventory for point sources.
- EPA is proposing to set the PM2.5 SMC by adjusting (multiplying) the PM10 SMC by the proportion of the PM2.5 NAAQS to the PM10 NAAQS.
- EPA will accept comment on this proposed rule for 60 days beginning upon publication in the Federal Register.
- Congress established the NSR program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments and modified it in the 1990 Amendments. NSR is a preconstruction permitting program that serves two important purposes.
- First, it ensures the maintenance of air quality standards when factories, industrial boilers and power plants are modified or added. In areas that do not meet the national air quality standards, NSR assures that new emissions do not slow progress toward cleaner air. In areas that meet the standards, especially pristine areas like national parks, NSR assures that new emissions fall within air quality standards.
- Second, the NSR program assures that state-of-the-art control technology is installed at new plants or at existing plants that are undergoing a major modification.
- Airborne particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less are considered "fine particulate matter," and are referred to as PM2.5. While their nature is complex, common constituents of fine particles include sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, elemental carbons, a great variety of organic compounds, and other inorganic materials.
- In areas that meet EPA's national air quality standards (attainment areas), the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Program is in effect. The PSD program protects clean air through a system of "increments." An increment is the maximum amount air concentrations of certain pollutants may increase above the baseline concentration in an area.
- PSD increments have been established for three pollutants – Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Particulate Matter (PM), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). A facility owner planning to build in an attainment area must apply for a PSD permit. As part of the application process, they must demonstrate that emissions from the proposed construction and operation of the facility will not cause or contribute to an increase above a maximum allowable concentration or increment for the target pollutant(s).
- Section 166 of the Clean Air Act authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to establish regulations for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of any pollutant for which EPA has issued a national standard. EPA issued the NAAQS for PM2.5 in 1997.
- Interested parties can download information on the proposal from EPA's Web site at: www2.epa.gov/nsr.
- Today's proposed action and other background information are also available either electronically in www.regulations.gov, EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, or in hard copy at EPA's Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0605).

Submission NY Times' Broder Responds to Tesla's Elon Musk->
DocJohn writes: "NY Times' John Broder responded to Elon Musk's blog entry, responding to accusations with deft and reasonable replies. Accused of driving around a parking lot for no reason, for instance, Broder notes he was simply looking for the poorly marked charging station. Worse of all, much of Broder's behavior can be attributed directly to advice he received from Tesla representatives — something Musk fails to mention."

As reformed neutralites (a made-up word referring to those who only wear non-colorful clothes), we understand that the recent rainbow-bright trend can be intimidating and off-putting to many people. While banana yellow trousers and tangerine frocks might be suitable for fashion insiders and daring stylephiles, not everyone is ready or willing to commit to so much color. That is why we're truly thrilled to share our favorite new beauty trend--Vibrant Lips--which offers an effortlessly interesting way to wear some of spring's high-impact shades. Plus, we've spotted shocking pink pouts and bright coral kissers on ladies like Kate Bosworth, Rachel Bilson, and Georgia Jagger, making us certain that this trend is a must-try!
While celebrity tastemakers tend to opt for more wearable iterations of the vibrant-lip trend, the S/S 11 runways offered loads of neon-like looks worth checking out. At Marc by Marc Jacobs, makeup guru Dick Page used Shiseido's Perfect Rouge Lipstick ($25) in Day Lily/OR418 to create an electrified orange lip we love. (On a side note: Page applied an orange pigment powder on top of the lipstick to make the color even more vibrant, so please be aware that Day Lily alone is a little less intense.) If orange hues are not quite your cup of tea, fret not because there are lots of lovely pinks to try too. For example, at DVF, the wildly talented James Kaliardos gave models a fluorescent fuchsia lip via two MAC products. He lined the girls' lips with MAC Pro's Chromagraphic Pencil ($14.50) in Process Magenta and then added a layer of MAC Pigment ($19.50) in Magenta Madness--a matte, neon pink powder with blue undertones--on top, resulting in a stunning ultra-pink look.
Though the runway iterations are certainly intriguing, you can certainly tone things down for real life--just check out a few of our celebrity examples for reference. Kate Bosworth is definitely one of our go-to inspirations for the vibrant-lip trend, specifically her beauty look at the Hollywood Style Awards a few months ago. Pati Dubroff, Bosworth's incredible makeup artist, created a killer combo when she paired a bright fuchsia pink pencil, specifically Make Up For Ever's Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil ($17) in Fuchsia 16C, with Clarins' Rouge Prodige Lipstick ($24) in Coral Tulip. When examined with the rest of Bosworth's look--slicked-back hair and a white and mint Jil Sander dress--the vivid lip is fresh and fabulous. We also adore the pinky-purple lip Josephine de la Baume created for the Q Awards in London late last year. The singer/actress/model/muse combined two MAC Lip Pencils ($13) to create her stunning shade: Whirl, which is a dirty rose, and Trimmed in Pink (which is sadly no longer available, but try Magenta for a similarly bright hue). Need some more examples? You can always emulate Rachel Bilson and the sweet pink she wore to a party during Milan Fashion Week, the hot pink Elisa Sednaoui picked for the Thakoon show in February, or the hot red Georgia May Jagger wore to a Hudson event at Selfridges in London last month. Notice how all of these ladies kept the focus on their lips, and opted for unfussy eye makeup and natural, slightly polished skin? It's definitely the way to go!
If you're ready to go for this must-try beauty trend at home, we have a few product suggestions to get you started. If you are looking for a great pink, check out Hourglass' Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick ($30) in Fever, NARS' Lipstick ($24) in Schiap or Funny Face, or Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipcolor ($7.50) in Fuchsia Fever. If you want a hot coral, try MAC's Sheen Supreme Lipstick ($14.50) in Gotta Dash! (shown above), Make Up For Ever's Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick ($19) in 40 (a bright orange coral), or Revlon's Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick ($8) in Siren. And last, but certainly not least, if you're in the mood for an electric red, pick up MAC's Lipstick ($14.50) in Lady Danger--one of Chloe Sevigny's go-to shades--or Wet n Wild's MegaLast Matte Lip Color ($2.99) in 909D, which is one of our favorite new hues!

A Jefferson County sheriffs deputy threw a bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag bourbon whiskey into a Henderson field after he found it in Deputy Adam B. Halletts patrol vehicle.
That bottle is the only evidence of a crime in the latest in a string of incidents of alleged misconduct plaguing the sheriff over the past year.
It also is the one common statement and the smoking gun in two conflicting reports delivered by county attorney David J. Paulsen and Sheriff John P. Burns during a special meeting of the Board of Legislators on Tuesday.
After mulling over the reports, the board came out of a closed-door executive session to vote unanimously to call for an outside investigation into the Dec. 1 incident in which Deputy Hallett was found asleep in his patrol vehicle off County Route 72 several hours after he went off duty.
The two reports were released to the media Wednesday with some names and sentences redacted.
Mr. Burns says in his report that he received a phone call sometime after 9 p.m. Dec. 1 relaying that an unnamed deputy had discovered Deputy Hallett, who appeared to have been drinking, in his vehicle off the side of the road.
The sheriff asked if the patrol vehicle or any property had been damaged. He was told no.
Mr. Burns asked if anyone had witnessed Deputy Hallett driving or had lodged a complaint against him. Again, he was told no.
Mr. Burns then asked if anyone knew how Deputy Hallett had arrived at his current location. For a third time, he was told no.
Mr. Burns then instructed that Deputy Halletts vehicle be placed in the garage of the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and that Deputy Hallett be taken home.
Mr. Burns launched an internal investigation into the matter Dec. 20, after learning additional information. He promised an outcome that would be nothing less than would have occurred with any other citizen of Jefferson County.
When Mr. Burns announced that he was charging Deputy Hallett with an open-container violation Jan. 10, he told the Times that he was not called to the scene that December day, nor was he advised of all the circumstances.
Mr. Burns made no mention of a witness in his report.
This contradicts Mr. Paulsens report, which includes details about how Deputy Hallett was discovered slumped over his steering wheel by two witnesses who then called 911. The witnesses reported that the vehicles engine was running and its parking lights were on.
Deputy Hallett, who is a K-9 officer, had his dog in the vehicle. The deputy was unresponsive to the point that he could not raise his arms. When he did speak, he identified himself as Mark Hallett, Mr. Paulsens report says.
The unnamed deputy in the reports is believed to be Matthew A. Vaughn, who was the subject of undisclosed disciplinary action for not following the appropriate procedure at the scene.
Mr. Burns has never disclosed what disciplinary measures he took against Deputy Vaughn. In his report, he states that an unnamed deputy has been disciplined in the above matter and has been given a counseling memo. Another deputy was instructed on properly passing pertinent information on to his supervisors and was counseled on his oath of office.
Mr. Paulsens report states a third deputy was contacted by cellphone the night of the incident. That deputy is unnamed.
Mr. Burnss report says that he was advised of the incident after an unnamed sheriffs sergeant contacted another unnamed member of the department, who then called Mr. Burns.
According to Mr. Paulsens report, Deputy Hallett told Deputy Vaughn that he had come from a friends house just around the corner on County Route 123. He said he was very tired and wanted to go home.
Deputy Vaughn noted that his colleague was slow in speech and acted somewhat intoxicated.
Henderson Ambulance and a state police unit responded to the scene. They were sent away by Deputy Vaughn.
It was then that Deputy Vaughn noticed a bottle of liquor in the center console of Deputy Halletts vehicle. Deputy Hallett told him it was a Christmas gift.
Deputy Vaughn removed the bottle from the vehicle, noted that it appeared to have been opened, and threw it into a field, the report says.
Deputy Hallett and the K-9 were taken to a nearby residence until a friend came to retrieve them.
Deputy Halletts sidearm, shotgun and taser were returned, along with the vehicle, to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building.
According to the sheriffs report, when confronted about the incident, Deputy Hallett stated that he messed up. He told the sheriff that he had stopped by a friends house for a short time and drove out to County Route 72, where he pulled over off the road to think. Mr. Burns suspended Deputy Hallett without pay for 10 days and restricted use of his patrol vehicle to time at work for 60 days.
The sheriffs report includes a paragraph that outlines discussions among Mr. Burns, Lt. Kevin M. Amann and Chief Assistant District Attorney Kristyna S. Mills.
Mr. Burnss report states I gave (Mrs. Mills) the folder and asked her to read the statements and she what she thinks. Chief A.D.A. Mills read all the statements and stated, you have nothing. I asked her what about an open container and she stated at best.
Mr. Burnss version of events contradicts the version Mrs. Mills reported to the Times on Friday.
According to Mrs. Mills, (The sheriff) handed me the file. He said, This is what I see. I only see an open container. I want to make sure Im not missing anything. Do you agree?
Mr. Burns also states in the same paragraph that Mrs. Mills said, We have no witnesses, we have no complainant who saw him driving or driving in a reckless manner. We have no one that can tell us how Deputy Hallett arrived at where he was on County Route 72.
According to Mr. Burns, Mrs. Mills said she spoke with every assistant district attorney in her office and explained to them the case, and all agreed that there was no driving while intoxicated.
Mrs. Mills told the Times on Wednesday that Mr. Burnss statement was not entirely accurate.
She said that before meeting with the sheriff, she laid out a hypothetical scenario similar to what had occurred with Deputy Hallett to quite a few of her colleagues and that all agreed that based on the evidence, a DWI charge would not hold up in court.
Commenting on the sheriffs report, Legislator Michael J. Docteur, R-Cape Vincent, said, The document speaks for itself. It begs for more information as to what happened that night.
There was enough information to say, Lets get another party in there to investigate, said Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing.
Robert J. Thomas, R-Glen Park, a police officer for 48 years and former police chief of Brownville, Dexter and Glen Park, said he was motivated to call for the outside investigation by a desire to relieve the sheriff of the burden of having to investigate his own department.
Were all working as a team, and I want to stress team, to resolve this matter and move on, Mr. Thomas said. I dont have any problem with John Burnss leadership.
Legislator Scott R. Gray, R-Watertown, chairman of the Finance and Rules Committee, made the motion to seek an outside investigation. He has been the most outspoken proponent of such a probe since the subject was broached.
Now that the prospect of an outside investigation is becoming a reality, Mr. Gray has tempered his vehemence and said he is content to await the outcome of the investigation.
Before we pass judgement on anybody, we need an outside set of eyes, Mr. Gray said.
Ronald H. Cole, chairman of the Jefferson County Democratic Committee and another former police chief, was at the Legislatures special session Tuesday night to lend his support to Mr. Burns, a Democrat.
Mr. Cole acknowledged that the incident was a difficult one for the sheriff.
The deputy had alcohol in the vehicle and thats a no-no. ... Law enforcement personnel are held to a much higher standard, Mr. Cole said.
Mr. Docteur said he would have liked to see sheriffs deputies holding their peers to the same standards to which they hold the public.
According to Mr. Gray, this incident has captured so much attention because it is something to which the public can relate. Most people either know someone who has been cited with DWI or have been charged with it themselves, he said.
The Board of Legislators has recessed until next Tuesday, when it will hear Mr. Paulsens resolution with a recommendation as to who will conduct the investigation.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Atomic athlete Kilian Jornet won the Vertical Race of the Trofeo Dell'etna in Sicily/ Italy. On the technically challenging terrain he pulled ahead of his contestants with a slight margin.
The Trofeo dell'Etna is the second World Cup event in this season and comprises two races: the Vertical Race and an Individual Race. The winner of today's Vertical Race was Kilian Jornet. On a difficult course that extends over 750 meters of difference in altitude and includes a stretch where skis need to be carried and crampons are mandatory, the Spaniard delivered a strong performance. The group of the strongest athletes remained close together right from the start, but Jornet was able to demonstrate his strength in ascents and won the race with a finishing time of 28.07.86, with the two Italians Manfred Reichegger and Pietro Lanfranchi in close pursuit. "I am very happy about this result. Winning the Vertical Race means a lot to me, because it is such a difficult competition. The sun and the heat posed the biggest challenge today and made the race extremely difficult," explained Kilian Jornet after crossing the finish line.

Information for Flooding in New England (En Español)
This page provides links to non-EPA web sites that provide additional information related to Flooding. You will leave the EPA.gov domain and enter another page with more information. EPA cannot attest to the accuracy of information on that non-EPA page. Providing links to a non-EPA Web site is not an endorsement of the other site or the information it contains by EPA or any of its employees. Also, be aware that the privacy protection provided on the EPA.gov domain (see Privacy and Security Notice) may not be available at the external link.
Because of intensive rainfall in New England, many areas experienced flooding or risk of flooding depending on weather conditions and proximity to rivers, streams, the ocean, lakes, ponds or reservoirs. State and local response agencies remain the primary responders for people who are concerned or were affected by flooding. If you or your family are in immediate risk and concerned for your well-being, remember that calling 9-1-1 is the quickest way to get emergency help. EPA will update this information as needed.
ALERT: Generator exhaust is toxic. Put generators outside or carefully vent the exhaust outside because the exhaust contains dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas.
Avoid Contact Because Floodwaters May Contain Sewage
During heavy rains, sanitary sewers may overflow into floodwaters. Avoid contact with floodwater due to potential contamination with raw sewage and other hazardous substances. Avoid swimming and boating in floodwaters and do not allow children or pets to wade or play in floodwaters. More on sanitation and hygiene after a flood.
Drinking Water and Food
- Boiling water information To kill all major water-borne bacterial pathogens, bring water to a rolling boil for 1 minute. Boil 3 minutes at elevations above 5280 ft (1 mile or 1.6 km).

MASSENA - The code enforcement officer for the village and town of Massena sent a letter to local officials this week announcing his plans to retire from his post at the end of his work day on Tuesday.
Code Enforcement Officer Gregory C. Fregoe, already retired from the village where he was the foreman of Massenas career firefighters, said he made his decision to retire from local government after meeting with the village board in an executive session Tuesday night.
Mr. Fregoe declined to comment on the specifics of that meeting, but several sources have said the village board had been looking at reducing the code enforcement officers position from full-time to part-time and shifting more of the offices duties to the career firefighters that are also trained in code enforcement.
They discussed their plans for the code office with me. The plan of the village board for the future of code enforcement in Massena, and my plan for what I think the code office should be doing are not compatible. Im taking advantage at this time to apply for my retirement and let the village move forward with its plan, Mr. Fregoe said Friday.
His future with the village of Massena has been in limbo when the board of trustees did not reappoint him to his post at is annual reorganizational meeting in December. The board had discussed the position in executive session at its last two village board meetings.
Mr. Fregoe, while also working as a paid fireman for the village, had added hired to do fire inspections for the code office in 1985 and handled building inspections while working with then Code Enforcement Officer Eric Szarka from 1989-99, a time of growth in Massena with the construction of the St. Lawrence Centre mall and strip plaza, BJs and the initial Wal-Mart store.
He replaced Mr. Szarka in 1999 when then Mayor Ken MacDonnell appointed him to the code enforcement officer post. Mr. Fregoe retired as the career firefighters in 2002, took the Civil Service test and was appointed as a shared full-time code enforcement officer for the town and village that year.
Mr. Fregoe, whom colleagues have said had planned to retire from his post later this year before his reappointment became an issue, said he had opted to wait a few days after the village board meeting so he complete a couple of projects left on his desk.
I wanted to see the Massena Electric project completed, and did a certificate of occupancy for them today. Frenchies will be completed on Monday, he said.
He said the remaining major projects currently being monitored by the code office are the construction of Massena Memorial Hospitals medical office complex, the renovation of the roof at the Alcoa casthouse that was heavily damage by fire and renovations to space at the St. Lawrence Centre mall that will house an expanded shoe store.
The roof on the Alcoa casthouse is probably about 65 percent completed, and the hospitals office building, which is supposed to be completed by mid-March, is probably at 80 percent, he said.
Mr. Fregoe came under fire in July when he admitted he had erroneously granted Frenchies Chevrolet a building permit before they had attained the necessary variances for a renovation and expansion project at the East Orvis Street dealership.
He issued a stop work order in late July in response to a complaint from neighbors, including Mary C. Moran and Lois Guay, who both reside at 9 Burney Ave. in a home owned by Mrs. Guays son, Terry, along the border of the commercial and residential zones.
Given the location of the proposed addition, which fell within 30 feet of both the neighboring property lines and a residential district, a variance was needed. A second variance was also needed to allow commercial use in the residential area, specific to a driveway that would run along the rear of four other properties owned by Mr. Coupal.
Following the complaint from Ms. Moran, Mr. Fregoe said in July there was an investigation into the project and what it entailed.
We investigated and found out that Frenchie had not applied for or received variances for his proposed construction, Mr. Fregoe said at that time, adding the blame though lies with him, not Mr. Coupal.
Theres no question about it. Thats my mistake, he said. The permit was issued in error.
Mr. Fregoe explained that Mr. Coupal submitted plans for the project to him and was granted a building permit, giving him the go ahead to begin construction.
Some village board members had also expressed frustration in recent months that Mr. Fregoe had not been aggressive enough in dealing with code violations and substandard housing issues in the community.
Some members of the town planning board expressed surprise and disappointment Friday after learning Mr. Fregoe would be leaving his post.
(Mr. Fregoe) has a lot of knowledge, and hes been a great asset to the planning board and to the community, planning board member Shawn Burke said. I feel its going to be a loss to the village without him.
Board member Kevin Fetterly said it was a shock to learn that Mr. Fregoe had sent in his letter of retirement.
Hes done a lot of work for the village. He was very dedicated, Mr. Fetterly said.
Mayor James F. Hidy, who commended Mr. Fregoe for his service, previously stated the village was considering the option of transferring Mr. Fregoes duties to firefighters trained in code enforcement. .
The village board held a special meeting to discuss Mr. Fregoes position Jan. 8, and held an executive session after its regular Jan. 15 meeting to discuss code office. At both those meetings the decision to reappoint Mr. Fregoe was tabled for later discussion.
When asked if the repeated discussions on the future of Mr. Fregoes position may have prompted his letter of retirement, Mr. Hidy said he (didnt) think so.
After Wednesday, code enforcement in the village and town will be the responsibility of Massena firefighters trained in code enforcement.
Career firefighters Department Foreman Ken McGowan and fellow career firefighter Aaron Hardy completed New York state code enforcement training in early November. They join career firefighter Bill OBrien, who had previously received the training.
Two additional firefighters, Jeremy Lefeve and Matt Tuper, are trained as code compliance technicians, and Walt Bean will finish this training later this month, Mr. McGowan said.
A code compliance technician is trained in enforcing the fire and property maintenance codes, but is not certified in other code enforcement officer duties, such as issuing building permits or inspecting new construction projects.
Mr. McGowan said hed not been in discussions with village officials over the possibility of taking over Mr. Fregoes duties, but noted it was something they had been preparing for.
We assumed wed be taking over when (Mr. Fregoe) retired, but weve had no concrete talks on taking over code enforcement, Mr. McGowan said previously.
Frefighters have been working on fire inspections for the code office in recent years, which requires them to inspect about 400 properties per year. Mr. Fregoe also said the code office handled 400 building permits last year.
