PROVIDENCE — Perhaps there's no way getting around it. Coming up with a realignment proposal that soothes the Rhode Island Interscholastic League's masses is not as simple or straightforward as snapping one's fingers.
That said, a few ruffled feathers has not impeded the realignment committee branch of the Rhode Island Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (RIIAAA) from coming up with a solution that on the surface could help foster the kind of harmony that has been elusive whenever this particular topic is mentioned.
At Monday's Principals' Committee on Athletics meeting, the group received literature along with a detailed explanation regarding proposed changes to realignment that would become enacted beginning with the 2014-15 school year. Representing the RIIAAA was Ponaganset High Athletic Director and head varsity football coach Tom Marcello.
All of the finer points were met with instantaneous approval with the PCOA voting unanimously (11-0).
"No matter how perfect the formula, it will never be perfect," Marcello stressed, "but no matter how perfect it is, it's always going to be overshadowed by the sports committees."
Marcello's point served as a smooth segue to the first of several proposed changes that the RIIAAA deemed important to address. Now more so than ever, the responsibility of lining up teams in divisions that will provide them with the most realistic chance of being competitive will lie in the hands of each individual sports committee.
"The sports committees really are the lynchpin for realignment," said Marcello.
How the sports committees configure the teams in each division will begin with a one-question survey that will be sent to all schools following each season. Does your school want to compete in Division I in (girls soccer, for example) for the next two-year alignment?
"I think it would be very helpful to the Interscholastic League and to the PCOA to have an independent review of those proposals before they are seen at this level," Marcello told the group Monday.
In the event that 12 girls' volleyball teams wish to compete in Division I, Marcello feels that the sports committee would have to explain why a 16-team Division I was deemed the best avenue.
"Just so there's no speculation or questions," Marcello went on. "Everyone up front knows why."
Regardless of sport, Marcello expressed that there are several points that should be addressed every time the individual sports committees gather. They include how playoffs and tiebreakers are determined along with scheduling (i.e. crossovers or playing each team within the division twice) and the number of league and nonleague games.
"It's important to state those beforehand and get them down on paper before the realignment happens and before the season starts," said Marcello.
Regarding the "Bottom Three" rule that allows for divisional movement to take place between the last three teams in one division and the top three teams in the division immediately below once the rankings are tallied, the tweak that the RIIAAA came forward with stipulates that "any team in the bottom 40 percent of a division can move down to a lower division as long as a corresponding team requests to move up a division."
In terms of teams partitioning the PCOA to move up and down during non-realignment years, RIIL Executive Director Tom Mezzanotte says that the only way a team can potentially move to a lower division is contingent upon the school coming before the PCOA "with documentation that it is medically unsafe to participate."
"It's only two years, so I would vote against massive changes in midstream," Mezzanotte said.
The third criteria put forth by the RIIAAA involves a change to the realignment formula. In the past, 70 percent of the equation was reserved for winning percentage over an eight-year span, with the remaining 30 percent accounting for the school's male or female enrollment.
The new breakdown now includes 70 percent of a team's weighted win percentage over eight years, 20 percent enrollment and 10 percent reserved for win percentage within the division over the three years leading up realignment discussions.
The lowering of the enrollment percentage figures to benefit the larger enrollment city schools that are sometimes misplaced in a division that competition-wise could prove problematic. It's also important to remember that wins within each division are weighted differently.
The 70/20/10 formula was tested out on six sports with the RIIAAA putting the findings next to the arrangements based on the "existing" 70/30 formula. Included were football, boys soccer, girls soccer, softball, girls volleyball and field hockey.
Based on the new math, Tolman High football jumped four spots to No. 6 in the rankings after ranking 10th under 70/30. The Tigers' rise likely stems from the RIIAAA combining the team's final two seasons in Division II – Tolman won 13 of 14 league games between 2010 and 2011 – and last season's 3-5 mark in Division I.
Tolman's fate along with other fall sports' teams could change next February, which is the submitting deadline for realignment proposals by the individual sports committees. The deadline for winter sports is May 2014 and October 2014 for spring sports.
Below are some other items discussed at Monday's PCOA meeting at RIIL headquarters, located on Rhode Island College grounds:
-- Co-op guidelines remain in review stage with the hope that changes could eventually be recommended to the PCOA. There is a sub-committee that is forming to study the guidelines during this coming school year, but no date has been scheduled for any recommendations and/or changes.
One possible change could come in the form of granting teams the chance to co-op regardless of enrollment, which in the past has served as a deterrent to larger-sized schools such as Woonsocket High.
"We still have work to do," Mezzanotte remarked.
-- An interesting development arose when the PCOA was asked to consider a proposal from The Wheeler School to join the RIIL in girls' lacrosse beginning next spring. Several members asked why some schools are looking for membership in certain sports rather than all sports. It was left that Wheeler officials will be asked to appear before the PCOA at the next meeting, scheduled for Nov. 18.
-- Noting that CPR is now a high school graduation requirement under R.I. law, Mezzanotte talked about each school looking into implementing a plan that includes the delegation of responsibilities in the event that an emergency arises rather having everything fall on the shoulders of one person.
Mezzanotte also noted that the RIIL's Sports Medicine Advisory Committee is pushing for a way to come up with a database of concussion-related injuries.
-- Pointing to the launching of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Network that took place earlier this month, Mezzanotte is looking to organize a conference next month that includes one representative from each Rhode Island high school.
The NFHS Network has already secured coverage of boys and girls sports in 28 states for the 2013-14 year. Rhode Island joins all New England in a project that as Mezzanotte pointed out, "is a way of promoting what you have."

(Aug 11, 2009) Tong Wai-ting, an 18 year-old student with a mild form of mental retardation, is asking the Hong Kong High Court to overturn a decision to end his enrollment in high school. The Education Bureau had made that determination based on an age limit for students; Tong considers that limit discriminatory. The case, being heard the first week of August 2009, was filed by attorney Martin Lee Chu-ming and names the Secretary of Education and his permanent secretary, Michael Suen Ming-yeung and Raymong Wong Hung-chiu, respectively. (Nickkita Lau, Disabled Student Goes to Court over "Age Limit Bias," THE STANDARD, Aug. 5, 2009, available at http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=11&art_id=85877
Tong is a student at HHCKLA Buddhist Po Kwong School and is challenging the New Senior Secondary system, a set of rules to be implemented in September 2009. The previous system had permitted mentally challenged students to remain in school for the standard six years of primary education and four years of secondary education, plus an optional additional two-year extension for which the student could apply, called the EYE system. While the new rules establish a standard of six years of primary and six years of secondary education, extensions have been given out in relatively few cases. Furthermore, the age limit has been lowered from 20 to 18. Following a professional review of his case recommending more time in school, Tong applied for an additional year but was turned down. (Id.)
The attorney for the Education Bureau, Lisa Wong Kwok-ying, argued that it was not possible to really compare the programs for mainstream students and those with mental disabilities. She pointed out that the enhanced program for those with disabilities make the extensions under the old two-year EYE program unnecessary. Wong went on to state, "[t]he harsh reality is, unfortunately, that due to the disability of students, their academic attainment could never be put on the same level as others." (Id.)

POTSDAM - A report written by a SUNY Potsdam senior has provided the village with information about the feasibility of charging nonprofit organizations, like the villages two colleges and Canton-Potsdam Hospital, fees for fire and police services.
I learned a lot. This was just background information for me. Obviously, in a place where 70 percent of the property is tax exempt, its a very important issue, Mayor Steven W.. Yurgartis said.
Politics major Emily M. Dickinson, of Harrisville, became an intern working for the village and spent the semester compiling her report. She has already presented her findings to the village board, and the final report will be completed soon.
Under current state law, there is no legal basis for charging nonprofits a fee for their use of fire and police services.
There used to be a New York State law, implemented in 1971 allowing municipalities to charge nonprofits some fees for services, but although it was on the books it was never enacted, and was repealed in the early 1980s.
The law was received a major backlash from nonprofits, and its vague wording made it difficult to implement.
The New York Conference of Mayors has proposed an updated version of a similar law to the state legislature, with little progress so far.
Obviously its going to be a tough uphill battle, Mr. Yurgartis said.
According to Mr. Yurgartis, police officers and firefighters regularly respond to calls from organizations that pay them no taxes. The fire department must respond to the colleges for every fire alarm, even if the college calls to tell them it is just a false alarm.
Some of the people that live here are paying for that service, and some of the people that live here are not, Mr. Yurgartis said.
Other states have various models by which municipalities can receive money from nonprofits.
I was just surprised to see how in-depth the laws go, and how much the public opinion really plays a role in these kinds of policies, Ms. Dickinson said.
According to Mr. Yurgartis, the information provided will provide him with the background he needs to form educated opinions on the issue.
Obviously were not the only municipality thats looking into the problem, he said.
Ms. Dickinson said the most important thing she learned is that if fees for services are going to be charged, the law must be clearly stated to avoid any confusion or unfairness.
If the village of Potsdam is going to consider any kind of service charge, to make sure the public is aware of every detail, she said.
She said an efficient fee-for-service model allows nonprofits to use the services freely for a time, but charges for excessive use.
It would be a good way to charge people for services they actually use or overuse, she said.
Both SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson University pay the village water and sewer costs, as well as voluntarily contributing to some village initiatives, like purchasing a new fire truck.
Ms. Dickinson will graduate next month. She plans to receive a graduate degree from North Carolina State University.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- The Great Fire of 1911 destroyed much of Bangor, but there are some structures that survived. One of those being Bangor library. But time has caught up with the building, specifically it's roof. The Bangor library's copperroof in a way is a century old work of art, but leaks are causing it to allow water to destroy the building.
Head of maintenance Terry Bladen said, "It's just frustrating because we are using buckets and plastic to cover books I mean it's throughout the building."
Workers use buckets, rubber bandages, and blue tarps to keep water out, but none of it is working.
Bladen said, "We are trying to protect what makes this building a special place in Bangor."
The fix lies in 3 million dollars. A request the Board of Trustees are asking of the city.
Director of the library Barbara McDade said, "Everyone knows we are in horrible economic times, everyone knows this year's city budget will be a disaster."
According to McDade, experts and contractors agree replacing the copper roof is the best cost-effective option.
"It will last another 85 to 100 years without maintenance on it. If we use some other material to redo the roof and we did look into doing that, we would have to replace it 3 or 4 times that would end up costing more money," said McDade.
Bladen agreed, "You can put patches upon patches and you get to the point where you're putting good money into bad and to me that's just not realistic."
City Council will take up the issue again on March 25th. If the council approves borrowing 3 million dollars it will most likelygo before voters on the June Ballot.
But in the meantime, Zone Radio plans to help raise money to replace the copper roof with their Copper for Change Campaign. They will be placing plastic jugs around area businesses-- and plan to match what they raise.

It's an electric vehicle in more ways than one. It's science and art and smarts in one well-crafted package. And Spark EV lets you have fun in the fast lane by giving you access to California HOV lanes† without needing a passenger, meaning your solo journeys just got a little faster.
As your comprehensive owner benefit program, Chevrolet Complete Care goes above and beyond to ensure that owner satisfaction is a top priority for all 2014 purchased and leased vehicles. Backed by 2 years or 24,000 miles† of included scheduled maintenance†, warranty coverage that features powertrain, bumper-to-bumper, rust-through protection, plus 5 years or 100,000 miles of roadside assistance with courtesy transportation†, you can be confident you're getting the most out of your investment. See for yourself how Chevrolet Complete Care stacks up against the competition.
The 2015 Spark EV features a lithium-ion battery that offers gas-free and tailpipe-emissions-free power and performance. This urban car includes regenerative braking, which captures energy that would otherwise be lost while braking, decelerating or going downhill. It also offers liquid thermal conditioning, which maximizes its performance in extreme weather conditions. This provides the best performance from the battery and helps ensure its longevity. And the battery is backed by an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty.6
Tuned specifically for its electric propulsion system, Spark EV puts power in all the right places at the moment it's needed for a sporty and responsive ride. Spark EV features an innovative electric propulsion system drive unit paired with a lithium-ion battery. Without the traditional transmission, torque has nowhere to go except directly to the tires and the road. This is why Spark EV achieves 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. With 327 lb.-ft. of torque, the connection is direct: head, right foot, power, pavement. This city car is best-in-class when it comes to torque. And Spark EV features a turning radius of 33.8 feet, which beats out the Mini Cooper, so parallel parking in the city is seamless and simple.
Two current charging options for the 2015 Spark EV give city drivers choices. The standard 120V cord10 plugs into any household outlet. For a faster charge, available 240V chargers can fully charge the battery in just seven hours. Have an available 240V charger installed where you park your Spark EV so you can plug in at night and be good to go by morning. Spark EV owners and lessees are eligible for up to a $500 discount toward the purchase of a 240V charger from Bosch. Professional installation is required, so visit Bosch Automotive Service Solutions for more information.
Also beginning to roll out are SAE Combo Fast-Charging stations. The capability to use this new out-of-home charging feature is an available option8 on select Spark EV vehicles. The revolutionary SAE Combo Fast-Charging stations can charge the battery to 80 percent in just 20 minutes. It's the future of electric charging.
No matter how you charge Spark EV, you will feel the savings. With an average of 128 MPGe city7 and 109 MPGe highway,7 and an average range of 82 miles21 per charge, Spark EV brings you savings for the long haul. You'll enjoy EPA-estimated fuel cost savings of almost $6,250 over 5 years.†
Spark EV gives you instant digital feedback through a 7-inch diagonal high-resolution, full-color, configurable LCD screen in the Driver Information Center to help you get the most out of every kilowatt. Keep an eye on battery charge and how energy is being used and created. Go boldly thanks to confidence range feedback that provides an accurate picture of your estimated range based on your personal driving style. You can even enhance efficiency and have a ball doing it with the Efficiency Gauge. One of the greatest factors in getting the most out of each charge is driving style, so simply keep the green ball in the center of the gauge and enjoy optimal battery efficiency in your electric vehicle.
The interior balances a flowing, spacious design with a get-up-and-go spirit. Features like bright Electric Blue accents, chrome and available leatherette mix with a sporty cockpit vibe complete with a motorcycle-inspired instrument cluster. And with 86.3 cubic feet of passenger space, Spark EV offers more passenger room than Scion iQ, Fiat 500 and smart fortwo. Seat four comfortably or cart your stuff around town. Fold down the rear seat and have a full 23.4 cubic feet22 of storage space for almost anything you need to bring with you like groceries, camping gear or your weekend getaway bag.
Because it's electric, Spark EV is surprisingly quiet on the outside, but due to the extensive interior refinement along with sealing and insulation, it's shockingly quiet on the inside too. Get in and leave the city noise behind.
Chevrolet MyLink† gives you access to your favorite music, media and mobile apps as well as information about electric power while you're on the go. Turn Spark EV into an extension of your smartphone by simply connecting to the standard 7-inch diagonal high-resolution color touch-screen radio through Bluetooth® wireless technology† or the USB port.†, † Be an urban explorer with Siri Eyes Free†. This system allows limited hands-free interaction for when you need to compose important messages on the go. That way, driving can be your main focus. Just be sure you text and drive only with the voice system, and never text on your handheld while driving. And with a standard three years of OnStar®, you'll have access to your Spark EV from anywhere with the OnStar RemoteLink®† mobile app. Check battery level, efficiency statistics and more on your smartphone. Access your contacts, playlists or mobile apps like Pandora®† , Stitcher SmartRadio™† and TuneIn† through the color touch-screen radio.
If knowledge is power, then Spark EV is ready to help you take over the world – well, at least your little urban corner of it. Not only does Spark EV offer the driver instant digital feedback in the instrument cluster, but it also provides an array of information through the center stack-mounted 7-inch diagonal color touch-screen radio. Check out exactly where power is flowing to and from the wheels, look back at the amount of energy recent trips required or program Spark EV to charge when it's most beneficial, like when electricity is least expensive. The color touch-screen radio even includes energy-efficiency data, which provides detailed information on how energy is being used in your electric vehicle.
Intricate downtown streets, one-ways and roundabouts have nothing on Spark EV with BringGo† navigation. And the most affordable in-dash navigation system in its class doesn't just get you from Point A to Point B. It also comes with you to Point C. It offers plenty of easy-to-use features such as 3-D maps with lane suggestions, live traffic data and other features to help you stay in the loop. So make the most of your MyLink screen and download the BringGo†app. Read More.
With the OnStar® Directions & Connections® Plan†, standard for the first three years with Spark EV, you can be connected with an OnStar Advisor who can immediately locate you and get you back on track with turn-by-turn directions sent to you via automated voice prompts or on the 7-inch diagonal touch-screen. And for the first time, OnStar® † offers Waypoint Navigation. Owners can plan their trips via the web or mobile application and OnStar will find charging station locations to keep you charged along the way.
RemoteLink Key Fob Services† are a component of the OnStar RemoteLinkTM† app that gives you access to features such as remote start as well as locking and unlocking—even when miles away from your vehicle. This is included for five years after purchase of your 2015 Chevrolet vehicle, with or without a paid OnStar® subscription. With Remote Link Key Fob Services, you can unlock your automatic door locks remotely if your keys are locked inside or in case of an emergency. With factory installed and enabled remote start, you can also remotely start or turn off your car, which is helpful for cooling or heating the inside of your vehicle, and activate your vehicle's horns and lights to help locate it in a crowded parking lot.

The Spark EV is built to reduce drag and guide airflow around the vehicle. Its lean, muscular design helps it slice through the air with the greatest of ease.
Global collaboration between designers and engineers resulted in this city car with a fiercely dramatic exterior design. Accentuated headlamps.15-inch wheels. Hidden rear door handles. It's sleek and seamless from grille to rear spoiler.
Choose from six exterior colors: Salsa (available late Summer on 2LT only), Lime (available late Summer on 2LT only), Summit White, Silver Ice, Electric Blue and Black Granite (an extra-cost color). City street beautification begins with Spark EV.
At Chevrolet, the safety of drivers and their passengers is a top priority. That's why every Spark EV comes with technology that helps you stay in control, like the StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System, which helps you stay on track on slippery surfaces. There's even Hill Start Assist that helps with those steep inclines by holding the vehicle in place for a second after the brake is released to help you keep moving forward.
In the event of a collision, safety features like 10 standard air bags† help protect you and your passengers. Crucial information can be instantly relayed to the OnStar® Command Center via the OnStar Automatic Crash Response system†. At the Command Center, trained Advisors utilize GPS technology to pinpoint your exact location and can request that help be sent right away – even if you're unable to respond. As all of this is happening, they're in constant contact, reassuring you and updating you on the status of the situation. It's part of the OnStar Directions & Connections® Plan†, standard for the first three years on every Spark EV.

Carradice Nelson saddlebag £55.00
Superb bag with smart vintage looks although it doesn't quite have the practicality of the Carradice Super C
Weight 800g Contact www.carradice.com
Previous Review
Next Review
Way back in the mists of time, I tested the Carradice Super C saddlebag. I fell in love with its simplicity, convenience and retro-styling and it has been strapped to my bike ever since. What I didn't fully appreciate is that the Super C is in effect the modern version of the Nelson, which is what I'm testing here.
The Nelson is the all-time classic saddlebag. Made from cotton duck fabric with leather straps, it is a beautiful piece of kit and if you roll with the audax/CTC crew then you're bound to see several in varying degrees of vintage. Along with wool, cotton duck and leather form a holy trinity of original technical materials and as the merino revival goes to show, they have never been bettered in some ways.
Duck is pretty much impervious to water as the fibres swell and lock together when wet. It also breathes, so your damp kit will dry out rather than rotting gently inside. The straps that close down the main flap and the side pockets are leather with shiny buckles. They look fantastic but the quick-release buckles on the Super C are much easier to use, especially if you're reaching behind to open a pocket and extract a cereal bar. Although it is made from the same cotton duck as the Super C, the Nelson seemed stiffer and held its shape better when empty.
Capacity is modest at 18 litres, but that's enough for a day ride, long audax or ultra-lightweight mini-tour. The top of the flap has fittings to strap on extra luggage, although you could always upgrade to the longflap version which will accommodate bulkier items under a longer main flap. The main flap on the standard model is perhaps a little short at the sides, which might let some drops of rain blow in, although the inside of the bag is protected with a drawstring storm flap. On a recent blustery and foul hundred miler my kit, including a couple of OS maps, stayed dry and happy for eigt hours of sideways rain and spray.
Feature-wise it's fairly basic. You get two side pockets, a drawstring stormflap, a light loop (big enough to carry two rear lights) and that's your lot. Sturdy sewn-in reflective strips, like those on the Super C, would have been welcome.
Although the bags themselves are nigh on perfect, fitting them to your bike can be a bit of a fiddle and a faff. I know from experience that the Carradice SQR system (which allows you to simply lift the bag plus mounting cradle off the bike) won't fit on my bikes and that I'm too short to get away with simply letting the bag dangle. The answer is one of the various Bagman support brackets, as supplied by Carradice. They don't come as standard, although our test Nelson came with the Bagman QR Expedition, which I'll be reviewing separately. Models in the Bagman range aren't cheap and if you need one you'll need to factor that into the price.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed using the Nelson and it will be permanently occupying a space on one of my bikes. If you're tossing up between the Super C and the Nelson it comes down to what you value most. The Super C edges it on practicality (size, reflectives, quick-release buckles) whereas the Nelson has the handsome vintage looks. As I scored the Super C at 9/10, it seems fair to give the Nelson 8/10.
Superb bag with smart vintage looks although it doesn't quite have the practicality of the Carradice Super C.

Just brilliant for pretty much any kind of riding where you need to carry more than just a pump and spare tube.
Looked after, these things last forever.
Based on quality and longevity, these bags are excellent value. You'll probably need a bag support though, which racks up the price a fair bit.

About the tester
Age: 42
I usually ride: Kona Dew Drop, Dawes Century SE, Carlton Corsa My best bike is: Guess SC1 scandium
I've been riding for: Over 20 years I ride: Most days I would class myself as: Experienced
I regularly do the following types of riding: time trialling, commuting, general fitness riding, fixed/singlespeed, Audax and long distance solo rides
I think the longflap is well worth the extra - makes the bag very much more versatile.
The longevity of the bags (I know people who still use Nelsons they bought in the '70s) makes modification and customisation worth while too (you don't put the effort into something you'll need to replace in two or three years) so sewing on extra reflectives (if you want to) makes sense. One useful mod I've seen done is the addition of press fasteners to the sides of the pockets, which make them less likely to spill small items. I've also toyed with the idea of adding a sort of organiser pocket (it would hang from the dowel inside the bag) although never got round to it.
There are any number of modifications to hang the bag - here's mine for standing it away a little from the seat tube; http://monkeyphoto.posterous.com/a-carradice-bodge
The only thing I don't like about this Nelson is the "slot" type attachments for extra straps on the top - my Lowsaddle has metal D rings, which is a better arrangement, imo.
I think they're about the best commuter luggage I've ever used, personally.

When I toured in the 80's many midland cyclists had a bag support that is unavailable today.
It was a simple open L-shaped frame that you secured your saddlebag to. To put this on the bike there were two brass tabs on the frame (just below the top of the bag which slotted into the slots on the rear of a Brooks saddle. To stop it bouncing off you just looped a toestrap from the rear of the bag around the top of the seatpost.
It was a very elegant solution and the bag sits a little proud of the saddle and well away from the wheel. It takes literally 2-3 seconds to either put on or take off (the frame stays with the bag so there are no ugly attachments left on the bike should you want to ride bagless).
In my mind it was the best solution i have seen and i really don't undestand why they are still not available. Mine gets lots of positive comments most days i'm out.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Washington Animal Rescue League has a new pet of the week.
Cool Dude is a 3-year-old beagle mix. He is sweet, gentle, and a bit timid. But once he gets to know and trust you, he's not afraid to let his emotions show, and will happily snuggle and cuddle.
Cool Dude enjoys the company of other dogs and would probably like living with a friendly canine companion as a playmate and role model.
But most of all, he craves a loving, patient home where he can continue to blossom and build a lifetime of memories with his people.

On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass the Better Use of Light Bulbs (BULB) Act. Though the vote was 233-193, which normally would have been enough, the measure required a two-thirds majority for passage. While House Republicans may still try to adopt the measure by simple majority, most expect that it will not pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. The BULB Act would repeal Subtitle B of Title III of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which ultimately bans incandescent light bulbs.
The Kansas City Star reports:
The original legislation, signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2007, requires all new bulbs to use at least 27 percent less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs. It will go into effect next year and gradually phase out traditional 100-, 75-, 60- and 40-watt incandescent bulbs by 2014.

MASSENA Massena Memorial Hospital turned a profit for the month of March after months of running in the red because of diminished revenue and rising expenses, officials reported last week.
During March, the hospital pulled in revenue of approximately $4,293,000 and spent $4,256,000, for a profit of about $37,000.
Tina R. Corcoran, senior director of public relations and planning for the town-owned hospital, attributed the gains to increased visits at the walk-in clinic, which treated 612 patients in March, surpassing the 500 visits the hospital budgeted for the month.
Its a constantly growing clinic. It helps maintain some of our market share in the community, Ms. Corcoran said.
The addition of doctors with new skills also has helped increase revenue, hospital officials said.
Zachary K. Chapman, senior director of practice management, said the hospital has benefited greatly from the arrival of Dr. Kejian Tang, the facilitys first full-time neurologist.
Dr. Tang, who moved to the area from Schenectady and began at Massena Memorial in January, has provided the hospital with new services, such as treatment for dementia, migraines and the onset of strokes.
Dr. Tang already has seen more than 600 patients.
Hes a welcome addition to St. Lawrence County due to the lack of a neurologist in the county, Mr. Chapman said.
However, Ms. Corcoran said she feels the strong financial month should not be attributed to one or two new services, but to the collaborative effort of the entire hospital staff.
Our staff has been very conscious of our budgets, Ms. Corcoran said.
Though Massena Memorial saw a net profit in March, the hospital has lost nearly $1 million so far this year.

I want the community to know that the Frito Pie Dinner/Ice Cream Social fundraiser put on by the women of the House of Hope, Vacation Bible School and the Rainbow Trails Day Camp of Trinity on the Hill Episcopal and Bethlehem Lutheran Churches was a resounding success!
Thanks go to so many, but first off, thank you to the Monitor (Kirsten Laskey's articles), KRSN (Nancy Coombs interview) and RSVP at the senior center for their support and getting the information out to our community.
We also thank the community businesses and organizations who so graciously let us post our flyers. These loving acts by our local businesses show us why we need to support them whenever we can. The entertainment by the children was delightful and enjoyed by all. They and their teachers deserve many accolades.
To all those, (there were so many of you that there is no room to list you all) who helped before, during and after the event, our spouses and children, we thank you.
We needed everyone to succeed.
Most of all, we thank our community – the churches that work so well together, the parents who so willingly shared their children with us and everyone who shares in our concern for our fellow beings. God love you all.

HOW THE WELL GOT SO DRY (Or, Why this rebuildis going to take more than two seasons)
UPDATE – In Comments is my reaction at 11:00 am and 12:45 pm to yours and we will continue throughout the day. Please be mindful of the Guidelines so everyone has their say. Thanks…CB
The Islanders currently have only two home-grown youngsters in their lineup considered to have the potential to become top forwards on a future contender. They, of course, are Kyle Okposo (first round, 2006) and Josh Bailey (first round, 2008).
Otherwise, as the Islanders enter Year 2 of their complete overhaul in 2009-2010, there should no confusion about the state of the organizational depth chart.
- There is not a single player on the current Bridgeport roster that will magically develop into a scoring forward or top-5 defenseman in next season's Islanders lineup. (Our Sound Tigers top prospects list arrives later this week).
- There is not one top-9 forward or top-5 defenseman joining the Islanders' opening night lineup next season directly from Europe or the college or junior ranks. That is, unless they sign an upstart European or collegiate (Matt Gilroy?) free agent.
- The season after that, and the season after that, the Islanders could have plenty of skilled players emerge from the AHL and elsewhere.
The wild card, naturally, is the Islanders' first round pick in 2009, but it is pointless today to put an 18-year old's name on the GM's dry-erase board. Not with 30% of this season still remaining. Not with Scott Gordon still coaching an aggressive style, but lining up the left wing next to two defensemen in the neutral zone. Not with the Islanders subsequently winning more games lately than they did in December and January.
Why is the well so dry? More than any other reasons, look no further than a horrendous run of four consecutive first round picks.
2002 – Sean Bergenheim (22nd overall): Love the kid, but let's be real. After yet another season of stops and starts and chipping away at the hairlines of his coaching staff, Bergenheim does not seem destined to be a front-line NHL forward. At least not with the Islanders.
2003 – Robert Nilsson (15th overall): First round tools, sixth round drive and determination now driving Craig MacTavish nuts in Edmonton after becoming an Oiler in the Ryan Smyth trade. In related news, J.P.'s kid scored his 33rd and 34th against the Islanders last night.
2004 – Petteri Nokelainen (16th overall): More than a year of knee tendinitis has hurt his career, projected by most teams to max out as a third-liner. This season, he has 0 goals as a fourth-line forward and sometimes healthy scratch with the dynamo Bruins.
2005 – Ryan O'Marra (15th overall): The miss of all misses. Garth Snow didn't think twice about including him in the Smyth trade. Four years later, he is a grinder in Springfield (AHL), his career already on shaky ground.
That is an almost impossible-to-fathom string of failures by a scouting staff directed by former general manager Mike Milbury. Four consecutive first round picks, not even a second-line forward in the group 4-7 years later. Bergenheim and Nilsson could figure it out and have a love connection with their coaches down the road, but it's getting late early.
We can waste a lot of space listing the dozens of players missed with these picks, but that would really be missing the point. All you need to know is that Milbury and company had four swings at the best hockey talent in the world in the first round four years in a row. They whiffed.
And from those four drafts between 2002-2005 they have a mere six players as possible pieces to the rebuild: Frans Nielsen, forgotten Jeremy Colliton, Bruno Gervais, Blake Comeau, Chris Campoli and Dustin Kohn. Of that group, only Nielsen (ceiling: No. 2 center) and Campoli (No. 4 dman) appear to have a chance to develop into more than just good soldiers.
This is why the painful art of scouting has beaten down good hockey men in every organization. It's why there is turnover in the scouting community all over the league every year. This, in part, is why only Ryan Jankowski (now assistant GM) and Anders Kallur (a bird-dog in Europe who fought for Frans Nielsen) remain from the Islanders' staff that was there for the quartet of stud-less first round picks. It's why the Islanders in 2006 stepped up their investment in scouting resources and player development and revamped how they analyze draft prospects, and why the process needs to continue.
And this, more than anything else, is why the rebuild is going to take more than just this season and next. For perspective, Washington – with Alexander Ovechkin – took three years.

I'm stumped. cradle, grandma, mom, me, and my daughter.
We all slept in it, My uncle called me for it so he could put it in his " antiques room". Their are no marks, or signitures. It is all wood, the headboard and footboard have some carving, and four short spindals on the corners, I've looked in many antique books and cant find anything like it. It has 8 to 10- 1 and a half inch slats of wood on each side that are removable. and it seems bigger than alot of the cradles iv'e seen in all those books. and it doesn't have the solid wood curved pieces that would make it rock. I guess it looks more like a miniture crib, than a cradle. I do know for sure it would never meet any of the safety standards we have today. I'm sorry I don't have a picture. maybe someone can figure it out by my discription. thanks for your time.

Without an image it's very hard to determine what you have, it's age and origins. That said, a lot of these were home built pieces, or made by local cabinet makers during the second quarter of the 19th century, in some cases to a design by the owner to be. Quite often pieces like this will not match up with any comparables you could find for sale, but that does not necessarily make them rare or valuable.

Video: Lackawanna Teen Dies on School Trip
LACKAWANNA - The Lackawanna High School community is mourning the loss of one of their own. Jeff Cintron, a senior at the high school, died Friday night at about 10:45 p.m. while on a class trip.
According to Lackawanna City Schools, about 50 students went to Disney World this week for their senior trip.
Interim Superintendent Anne Spadone tells 2 On Your Side that Cintron was complaining of back pain when the decision was made to send him to the hospital. He became sick on the way there and passed out, and could not be revived once the ambulance arrived at the hospital.
According to Cintron's cousin, the 17-year-old was "that kid you could never be mad at, always had a smile on his face, and always made others smile."
The family had been planning his graduation party. We're told by the school district that Cintron's family was informed regularly of Cintron's condition while in the emergency room.
His friends have tweeted that a candlelight vigil is going to be held in his memory at Victory Park in Lackawanna Saturday at 8 p.m.
The students that are on the trip will remain there until Monday when they're scheduled to come back.
"As you can imagine, it's very traumatic, we got four good chaperones, down there, they're working with them, the resort is working with them, checking on them, making special accommodations for them as they get ready to leave," said Spadone.
Spadone says Cintron did nothing unusual while on trip.
According to the family, the doctors who were treating Cintron believe he may have died from Marfan syndrome.
The condition is a type of disorder that affects proteins that support organs and bones. However, the family is still awaiting official autopsy results.

|Sunset on Everest
Date Climbed: Oct 11, 2003
|Second time to this spot. Phenomenal grandstand view of Everest/ Nuptse and back down the Khumbu valley to Ama Dablam, etc. A popular but not to be missed spots on any trek through the Khumbu. Dont' listen to the argument over Gokyo Ri v. Kala Pataar, they both give different and stunning views. Just hike up them both! If you have clear weather, I recommned sunset. Probably the best alpinglow I've ever witnessed. On the way back down the moon rose over Everest's south shoulder. What a magical moment!

|EARTH DAY 1995- Incredibly beautiful & other than the lack of oxygen, this high point on the ridge between Gorak Shep and Pumori is not technically difficult (watch out for awesome wind gusts); however, the reward is worth every "o" starved step. It's worth the view looking "down" upon Everest Base Camp, and up to the S. Col and The Goddess. Take your time acclimatizing, as I was in great cardio-vas. shape, and I still got moderate AMS symptoms and had to cut short my planned trip to Base Camp.

|Really just a high altitude hike with some boulder hopping near the top. Very windy once we reached the summit ridge. The clear views of Everest, Lhotse, Pumori, Changtse and other Himalayan giants were quite spectacular. Steady stream of hikers on the trail although we managed to hit a 10 minute lull to have the top to ourselves. The skies looked ominous the day before, where we camped outside of Lobuche but only a brief dusting of snow overnight and beautiful clear day for the ascent and views. Good acclimitization for my ascent of Imja Tse, four days later.

Date Climbed: Apr 1, 1982
|The day after I arrived at Gorak Shep, my trusted and faithful Sherpa and I ascended slopes to the west of the Khumbu Glacier and kept climbing until we got to the top of Kala Pataar where views of Mount Everest were obscured by clouds. But on our way down, the pyramid of Everest came into view and I took some shots that presently hang on the wall of my den.
This was the culmination of a three-week trek that began and ended at the air strip in Lukla. During the approach march to Gorak Shep, the 1953 British base camp, I met a party of young Aussies who condescended to ask me why an old man such as I would want to trek to the 17,500-foot Everest Base Camp. Later I learned than they never got higher than 14,000-foot Periche before succumbing to altitude sickness.
I spent two nights sleeping inside my one-man tent pitched inside the modest rock shelter at Gorak Shep (since then, so I read, a small hotel has been erected there). I ignored the credo to climb high and sleep low and subsequently paid for it. One the second morning there, I hiked further up the Khumbu Glacier and had to stop short of the Russian camp below the ice fall and sat on a rock amid the seracs on the Khumbu Glacier for three hours staring up at the ramparts of Nuptse. Finally my faithful Sherpa, who had slept a thousand feet lower down at Lobuche, appeared before me and led me meekly back down the glacier to the thicker air of Periche. Two days later I was back at Lukla, nervously awaiting a plane to fly me back to Kathmandu.
A peg-legged Sherpa woman had prepared my meals over a wood fire inside the low-lying shelter. Her left leg had been amputated after it was crushed in a childhood accident. For two nights I was her only houseguest in the rock hovel. Two years later I encountered her on a crowded street in Kathmandu where she had found employment as a nanny. We spent a day together seeing the sights of Kathmandu and I took her to dinner. The next day she saw me off at the airport. She was a delightful person.
