CANTON Transparency or the lack of it was the theme of Mondays committee meeting of the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators. Legislators sparred over deliberations of a space committee that has been looking at how to rearrange the District Attorneys office and the activities of Wladis Law Firm, the countys lobbying firm.
Employees are buzzing about a potential multiple department shift that comes with a hefty price tag, with some departments winners and others losers, Legislator Daniel F. Parker, R-Potsdam, said.
It sounds like youve been lobbied heavily. Any change creates worry, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, the head of the space committee. Ive heard some tremendous rumors. The committees not ready to make a recommendation at this time. The process right now is brainstorming. If you have any ideas, bring them to us.
But Republicans criticized Mr. Morrills process as leaving them out of the loop.
This has been going on two months, Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, said. I think we should be briefed.
Plans have been offered, an architect has come and department heads arent happy, he said. Mr. Morrill then offered to make a report on the plans at a committee meeting of the whole board next week.
A full report from Wladis also is lacking, Mr. Lightfoot said. While Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire and legislators receive a list of pending bills the firm is watching, Mr. Lightfoot said he wanted more detail on meetings.
We hired the firm to do work on our behalf, Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said. I dont understand what brings this up all of a sudden.
The firm costs $60,000 annually so lawmakers have a right to question how the money is spent, Legislator Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, said. Were actually just concerned about how the taxpayers money is spent, he said.
Some Democrats agreed the request was not out of line.
I understand the desire for more information, said Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg. If you ask for it, Im sure it will be forthcoming.
However, Legislator Jason Clark said no lobbyist would provide the kind of details requested as its clear theyre sought for political purposes.
The issue is in wanting to know more, Legislator Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, said.
Its not political. Its about transparency, he said.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
Price leaders and administrators said the city is reviewing its first response protocols following a sewer line backup that left raw sewage in at least six homes last Wednesday.
"I think we (the city) could have done a lot better in letting residents know what to do," said Mayor Joe Piccolo Monday referring to the response to incident. "It seems like they felt like they were alone."
The mayor's comments followed an event that seemed steeped in confusion.
The Powell family, who were struggling about what to do after the members came home and found sewage in their basement, resorted to calling the Sun Advocate after a few hours.
The family returned home Feb. 27 at 2 p.m. and found the flooded basement.
By 5:30 p.m., the troops had gathered at 512 East 400 South and surrounded Edith and Tracey Powell as they sat on their front porch.
Daughter-in-law Cheyenne Powell was engaged in what sounded from her end a heated discussion with the Price mayor.
"He said it wasn't the city's fault," she indicated as she hung up the phone. "He said that the city can't put my in-laws up in a hotel room."
Cheyenne expressed dismay that the city would not help relocate her in-laws while the sewage, pooled in their basement, was cleaned.
The Powell clan said they believed the flood was caused by city workers trying to clean out a sewer line on their street earlier Wednesday.
Piccolo confirmed that he was on the phone with Cheyenne Powell and said she had asked for her in-laws to be put up in the Greenwell Inn at $142 a night.
"I can't authorize something like that," said Piccolo on Monday morning. "I did say that I would have physically helped them get out of the house if they needed."
While the Powells were hit hard by the sewer backup, they were not alone.
It was estimated that at least six homes on 400 South experienced some level of flooding.
Two houses down, a technician from Service Master Restoration and Cleaning Service was vacuuming another finished basement.
He insisted that a face mask be worn before heading into the wet basement.
"There was about 4 inches of raw sewage in here," he said.
Walking around the basement, he pointed to several pieces of furniture, including a dark wood bed, and said all items would have to discarded. He explained that the federal regulations for cleanup of raw sewage called for anything porous that comes into contact with the material to be destroyed.
"Even the baseboard and drywall for a few feet up will have to be replaced," he said.
Confusion seemed to be prevalent in many aspects of the incident, including how hazardous a raw sewage spill is and what protocol should be followed in handling the situation
At 5:30 p.m., several of members of the Powell family were still trying to remove some items from the basement.
Edith and her grandson,17-year-old Devon Powell, have bedrooms underneath the home that were saturated by the sewage.
Family members had donned blue protective booties as they sloshed around the basement rooms, but apparently the booties came after some of them had gone into the area in their street clothes.
"I ruined my shoes and my pants," said Cheyenne Powell.
It seemed fairly apparent, at least at the Powell's home, that residents were coming in direct contact with the sewage.
As evening was settling on the neighborhood, the Powells were piling into their cars and evacuating the house and Service Master was busily cleaning up at least three of the homes.
At that point, the city had not sent anyone back to check on the homeowners and the from Service Master seemed to be the ones handling questions.
Later that evening, Price Police Chief Aleck Shilaos was contacted at a city council meeting about the incident. He said at that time the city was aware of the situation and was following protocol.
A call from this reporter advised the public safety dispatch center that some residents were still in their homes and may have been unaware of the potential hazards. The dispatcher, it appears, then contacted the Price City Fire Department.
Fire Chief Paul Bedont said he had not been informed of the situation earlier, but did make a site visit that night after he was called.
Bedont said the main hazard of a sewage spill was hydrogen sulfide gas.
"I went out and tested for it at around 8 p.m. and it was negative," said the fire cheif.
Bedont said he heard that night that some people were talking about sending out Hazmat to check out the spill, he sounded incredulous at that suggestion.
"People don't need to panic over this," he said. "They just need to be cautious and not walk around in it or have direct contact with the sewage."
The fire chief said homeowners would be all right if they didn't go down into the spill and shut the door upstairs.
"It wouldn't smell great, but they would be OK,"said Bedont.
Pinning down the exact hazard level of a raw sewage spill is somewhat challenging as the opinions seemed to range from a nasty annoyance to a biohazard depending on whose it is.
The local belief appears to be that a spill requires caution and common sense but that the overall hazards are minimal. Service Master's technicians adhere to much stricter federal standards and several federal health agencies put a much more urgent and serious face on a sewage spill.
In the 1990s, the United States Environmental Protection Agency pulled together a subcommittee to address the growing incidents of sewer overflows around the nation. The reason for the SSO Federal Advisory Subcommittee was stated as the "EPA has found that Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) caused by poor sewer collection system management pose a substantial health and environmental challenge..."
The EPA's and Centers for Disease Control estimate of raw sewage hazards is infinitely more dire than the local one.
Both agencies list a plethora of bacteria, viruses, parasites, molds, fungi and intestinal worms that exist in raw sewage. The list ranges from chlorea to Legionnaire's disease.
EPA materials show a number of ways that a person can be exposed to the hazards, including direct contact (touching, walking around in it) to inhalation (the material depicts someone mopping up a flooded basement).
The materials also confirm the assertion by Service Master that everything that came in contact with the sewage must be discarded.
"SSOs also damage property and the environment. When basements flood, the damaged area must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to reduce the risk of disease. Cleanup can be expensive for homeowners and municipalities. Rugs, curtains, flooring wallboard panels and upholstered furniture usually must be replaced."
Gary Sonntag, director of public works, said his department did follow established protocol Wednesday after establishing that it was a sewer backup.
"We found out about the problem at 12:30 p.m. and mobilized workers to the site," he said. "The workers checked and found standing water and sewage in a manhole."
He said the blockage was cleared and the workers knocked on doors to find out if residents had experienced a problem.
Residents were told that they needed to contact city hall and fill out a complaint form if there was damage.
"However, we do not have the latitude to go on to property and do cleanup and restoration work," he said.
Bedont, Piccolo and Sonntag agreed that there could have been clearer communication which might have made the situation a little easier for residents.
Both Piccolo and Sonntag said that perhaps a pamphlet outlining the potential hazards that also provided recommendations for handling the spill and resource phone numbers would be a good idea.
"I believe that we need a different kind of response that includes the fire department and city officials," said Piccolo on Monday.

Castro Attains Academic All-District VII First Team Honors
It marks the second career Academic All-District honor for Castro after also earning the accolade last season. As a First Team All-District member, Castro will be placed on a national ballot for a chance to be recognized as an Academic All-America selection while competing against student-athletes from across the country.
Castro has played in all 16 matches for the Bluejays this season while logging 13 starts. He boasts six points for the Creighton offense so far in 2013 with a pair of goals and two assists.
On Sept. 13, Castro scored his first goal of the season at Old Dominion off of a rebound to give CU a double-overtime victory over the Monarchs. The score was Castro's third tally and second game-winner in a Creighton uniform.
The midfielder shined in a non-conference match against Michigan State on Sept. 24. Castro scored his second goal of the season and added an assist in a 2-2 draw against the Spartans. As a result, he claimed a spot on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Sept. 30.
Castro posted his second assist of the year against Xavier on Oct. 5 in a 2-0 home victory over the Musketeers.
In addition to his 2012 Capital One Academic All-District VII First Team selection last season, Castro also was named to the 2012 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Scholar-Athlete First Team. In 2011 he claimed All-MVC Second Team laurels and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Midwest Region Second Team selection.
Castro carries a 3.64 grade point average in marketing.
The San Jose, Costa Rica, native is looking to continue the Bluejays' recent Academic All-America success. In 2011, former goalkeeper Brian Holt was named the Capital One Academic All-America® of the Year in Division I, while teammates Ethan Finlay and Jace Peters were honored on the Academic All-America Second Team.
Prior to that season, the Bluejays owned just two CoSIDA Academic All-America selections in men's soccer. Shane Havens (2003) and Matt Wieland (2005) each claimed Third Team Academic All-America honors for the Bluejays.

Sammie Buchanan Finishes Third Overall, Earns Medalist Honors
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG sophomore golfer Sammie Buchanan (Bluffton, S.C./Bluffton) won medalist honors at the Oak Point Golf Course Tuesday and finished third overall in the 190-person field at the Kiawah Invitational. The highly competitive 36-team field event takes places on two different courses, the Oak Point Golf Club and the Cougar Point Golf Club hosted by the College of Charleston.
Buchanan's third place showing is the best finish of her young career, improving eight spots over her 11th place finish at the Starmount Tournament. She finished with a 5-over par 221 to place just one shot out of the lead behind Katia Joo of Boston College and Wad Phaewchimplee of Kent State (4-over par 220). The final round was played in very difficult weather conditions in the cold and wind as no players shot under 70 and only three players shot under par.
Buchanan opened the tournament with a 2-under par 70 Sunday on the Oak Point course and held the 36-hole lead after an even-par 72 in round two on the Cougar Point course. She returned to the Oak Point course and carded a 7-over par 79 Tuesday as the only player in the top 20 playing that course. The top 19 teams in the 36-team field after the first two rounds played on the Cougar Point Course. Her score of 221 is the second-lowest of her career, trailing the Starmount score of 220 second this past fall.
UNCG finished the tournament in 26th place overall with a 54-hole score of 981 (312-336-333). Kent State won the event with a 892 (292-302-298), while Penn State finished second overall with a 906 (300-303-303).
Junior Berglind Bjornsdottir (Reykjavik, Iceland/Menntaskolinn I Reykjavik) was the Spartans second finisher, placing 103rd overall with a score of 241 (74-84-83). Freshman Kristin Powers (Pittsford, N.Y./Pittsford Mendon) rounded out the Spartans' top three scorers with a 261 (80-90-91) to finish 162nd.
The Spartans return to action March 14-16 at the Eagle Landing Invitational in Jacksonville, Fla. The event will be held at the Eagle Landing Country Club with 18 holes played each day.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
For Kellie Chriswell, an incident that happened a couple of weeks ago was very scary.
Near the intersection of Airport Road and Main Street, she was maneuvering her electric scooter around the construction barrels that were in the road because of the new blacktop that was being installed. As she drove around one orange barrel, the back wheel of the scooter ran up onto the barrel's base and she tipped over, almost into the lane of traffic.
There she lay with a very heavy scooter on top of her as she was spread out across the pavement. Motorists who drove by swerved to miss her. Some even honked. But, for some time, no one stopped to help. Pete Martinez, who was accompanying her, couldn't lift the heavy scooter himself. Finally, a couple of people did stop to help.
"I am so grateful that someone helped," she said, last Tuesday evening. "But I can't get over how many people just drove by and did nothing as I lay there."
Maybe some people didn't realize what had happened or others didn't even see her. But, the fact remains that scooters, for those without mobility, are a part of life in Price, and in the general area as well. As more and more electric scooters and wheelchairs appear on the streets of Carbon County, the problem of how to deal with them seems to be growing. Motorists aren't sure how to react to the scooters. And a certain question has emerged from many mouths in recent years.
Are scooters considered vehicles or should scooter drivers be treated as pedestrians?
"Some of it depends on the kind of scooter," said Price Police Captain Kevin Drolc. "But, for the most part, they should be considered a pedestrian."
However, some motorists feel that the drivers of scooters sometimes act like pedestrians, while at other times they act as if they are driving motor vehicles.
On the other hand, scooter drivers find themselves caught between a curb and a hard place. While a lot of work has been done over the years, particularly in Price, to repair uneven or disjointed sidewalks, problems remain. But the work goes on. In the past month, crews have been tearing up street corner sidewalks and turning the old curb and gutters that were once precarious to travel for the handicapped into handicapped access friendly ones.
But the conflict between scooters and cars, for some, remains.
"I think that sometimes drivers forget that the scooter drivers have a legal right to be on the road," said Nancy Bentley, director of Active ReEntry in Carbon County, an agency that is one of the main suppliers of scooters for handicapped people. "Sometimes they have to go on and off the sidewalks depending on what is going on. Sidewalks are often not too friendly to those on scooters, even if they have had renovation done to them."
Bentley points out that sidewalks are often blocked by cars or other things and the scooters can't get by.
"In some cases, they have to ride on the side of the road because they have no real choice," she said. "People need to remember, too, that this is these people's independence, their only way of getting around. Some have to drive from the public housing behind Wal-mart all the way to doctor's offices or the hospital on the west side of town. That is the only way they have to get there."
Some have joked that the scooters are Price's Utah Transit Authority, since there is no mass transit in the town.
Bentley says that the way the laws are written, it is not clear whether the scooters are vehicles or should be considered pedestrians.
"I know that there was an accident where a driver was coming out of a parking lot in Price and didn't see a scooter as they pulled out," she said. "In that case, the car owner's insurance paid for a new scooter, so I guess the scooter operator was considered a pedestrian in that instance."
But motorists can get confused. Some scooter operators go with the traffic on the side of the road one time and against traffic another time.
"We do training with the operators when they get the machines," said Bentley. "But, I will say, we encourage them to face traffic so they can see what is going on."
Another issue is crosswalks. Some motorists stop for scooters waiting to cross in a crosswalk, while others have the attitude that if they are a motor-driven vehicle, they should cross the street when traffic will allow, just as if they were driving a car.
"We would consider a scooter in a crosswalk to be the same as a pedestrian," said Drolc. "Motorists should stop for them and let them cross if they are in the crosswalk."
Drolc also says that the police generally wouldn't write a ticket for a person with a scooter, unless they were doing something outlandish or crazy.
"We might do something if they were in the middle of a busy traffic lane driving," he said. But when asked about the fact that the law doesn't allow motor vehicles to travel on sidewalks, he said that the police wouldn't enforce that with the handicapped scooters people are using.
"I think the biggest problem is education," said Bentley. "The law isn't very clear about a lot of this. We have been trying to work with driver's training programs on teaching young drivers about scooters and their place on the road. But, somewhere along the line, I think that the state might consider a law that would make scooter drivers take a test to operate their machines on public streets."
Certification or licensing would be a big step for those who operate what, for most of them, is their "legs" to get around.
What may happen law-wise is still second to human nature, however. What happens on the road and how people, both on scooters and in cars, react to each other is the real situation. That part isn't about law or philosophy; it's about human kindness.
"I just want to say thanks to those that stopped to help me," said Criswell. "I don't know what would have happened if they hadn't helped out."

In March of 2011, David Parker did what many taxpayers did: He filed his 2010 income-tax return along with a check for what he owed the Internal Revenue Service.
Three months later, weeks after the check was cashed, the Seattle resident discovered while refinancing an investment property that someone else had collected more than $3,600 from the IRS through a fraudulent return that carried his name, social-security number and an address in Irving, Tex., with his same street name.
"It's a shock when this happens to you," says Parker, who notes that the IRS never contacted him, but sent a notice to the Texas address that there was a filing discrepancy. "It's more of a shock learning what you have to do to get through it."
It took dozens of hours on numerous calls to multiple caseworkers at the IRS over a 20-month period and the intervention of the Taxpayer Advocate Service, the IRS watchdog, before his case was settled. The IRS told him his account had been flagged to prevent further abuse but when he filed his 2011 tax return on Feb. 17 last year, it was rejected because a return had already been filed with his social-security number. He had been hit twice, probably by the same fraudster.
"The bureaucracy of working with the IRS is intimidating and like a maze that you can't extricate yourself from," Parker says.
The IRS has long been the bane of American taxpayers but the misery index has shot up considerably since the advent of electronic filing and a mandate by Congress to get refunds out within 21 days of receipt. See: 8 most common tax blunders
That has put speed ahead of detail and accuracy at the IRS, spiking tax-related identity thefts from 48,000 in 2008 to 650,000 in 2012, according to the Taxpayer Advocate. And those are only the ones that the IRS has identified. It's likely that many more have fallen through the cracks.
"There's no reason to think that it's not going to continue to grow at that rate," says Stephen Coggeshall, chief technology officer at ID Analytics. "It's not saturated yet." Even at 1 million thefts, it still hits far fewer than one out of 10 taxpayers.
E-filing is effortless. It only requires a legitimate name and social-security number and information from the W-2, not the actual form.
"It's so easy to type up a phony one," says Jay Starkman, a certified public accountant in Atlanta. "There are no fingerprints, no font or software ID, no tax forms to sign, no trail and e-filing promises fast returns."
It's been a windfall for the bad guys who steal social security numbers by hacking into computer systems, breaking into insurance or medical offices, or taking pictures of private information from files where they work. They then file tens, even hundreds of phony returns at one time. They do it from the comfort of their own homes or a local coffee shop and even host or attend "drop parties" where a handful of criminals get together to file returns en masse.
Messy tax season ahead for some filers
Late 1099-Bs, identity theft and other concerns mean taxpayers should proceed with caution.
Because the IRS doesn't require funds to be deposited to accounts in the names of filers, the criminals have them sent to their own accounts, temporary savings or checking accounts, and increasingly, prepaid debit cards that have no identification tied to them.
"Folks who were once drug dealers are now turning to tax fraud because it's easier and there's no risk to your life," says Raul Vargas, fraud operations manager for Identity Theft 911. He's seen IRS undercover video of people teaching a house of drug dealers how to fill out the tax returns.
It's tough for the IRS to keep up, considering more than 130 million individual tax forms are filed annually. And that doesn't include corporate tax forms or those of estates and trusts.

Know Your Enemy, pres. by Pepsi MAX: Brewers Edition
Here is my Q&A with Brewers blogger Kyle Lobner of BrewCrewBall.com, to try and get a sense of how Milwaukee fans feel about their team heading into tonight's game against the Mets:
[jbox color="blue"]
Vinny Cartiglia: Like the Mets, the Brewers lost a fan favorite in Prince Fielder to free agency this past offseason. I know there was a large contingent of Mets fans who were very upset when Jose Reyes signed with Miami. Is it safe to assume there was a similar reaction in Milwaukee when Prince Fielder left for Detroit?
Kyle Lobner: I think Fielder's case was a unique one, because a large portion of the fan base had known for quite a while (two years or more) that Fielder was likely on his way out. The team even gave him a curtain call and the fans gave him a standing ovation at the end of the 2010 season, because everyone was operating under the assumption that he was likely to be traded that winter before his final arbitration season. Getting Fielder back for 2011 was something of a bonus, as the team traded for Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum in an effort to win right away instead of taking a step back and rebuilding.
Once the season was over, though, most of us expected Fielder to find money elsewhere. We knew there was a chance he'd return, but not a good one. Losing Fielder was certainly disappointing and it's sad to see him playing somewhere else, but I don't think most Brewer fans expected the organization to come anywhere close to the $200+ million he got from Detroit. We miss him as a fan base for sure, but this is a loss we've had a long time to prepare for and accept.
Vinny Cartiglia: New York turned to a young, home grown player in Ruben Tejada to replace Reyes. The Brewers took a similar approach with Mat Gamel. And so I wonder, how did Milwaukee fans take to Gamel?
Kyle Lobner: Entering the season a lot of people were wondering what would happen with Gamel. He had crushed minor league pitching for years but floundered a bit in the big leagues and it wasn't a certainty that he'd be capable of carrying the load as an everyday first baseman. Gamel deserves a lot of credit for squashing those fears with a solid spring and a good start to the 2012 season, earning himself a place in the #6 spot in the full-time lineup.
Unfortunately, Gamel's first full season in the big leagues came screeching to a halt when he tore his ACL chasing a foul popup in San Diego two weeks ago. The injury has left the Brewers with a fair amount of uncertainty at first base: Major league veteran Travis Ishikawa and top prospect third baseman Taylor Green have split time at the position to this point, and it's possible outfielder Corey Hart, utilityman Brooks Conrad, third baseman Aramis Ramirez or even catcher George Kottaras could be called upon to help fill the gap over there.
Furthermore, if the Brewers manage to stay in contention it's possible they'll be looking to buy a big bat to slot into that spot before the trade deadline.
To get an on-field take of what's happening with the Brewers, watch this Q&A with Lobner:

Hey Peter, do you have any site badges that I can post on my site to link here? Just curious, I am too lazy to search around the site myself
I have reactivated Google Ads on the forums as there were before, but they are not visible to registered users. I think this will make it much more appealing to the members who have in the past mentioned that the ads were a distraction. Fortunately the new version of vbulletin allows this to be done much more easily than the previous one.
I have also added a right hand column on the forum home page with the most recently created threads. They are available in the RSS feed, http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/f....php?type=RSS2, but I thought it would be a nice addition for convenience. There is the option for listing the most replied and most viewed threads, but that would most likely show the word game threads.
If there are any other features you'd like to see that you have seen on other forums, let me know. I have a great preference in using the default features of vbulletin as it makes maintenance much easier with each upgrade.

(b) Implementation of requirements
(1) In general
Not later than 1 year after August 10, 2005, the Administrator and each agency head shall take such actions as are necessary to implement fully all procurement requirements and incentives in effect as of August 10, 2005 (including guidelines under section 6962 of this title) that provide for the use of cement and concrete incorporating recovered mineral component in cement or concrete projects.
(2) Priority
In carrying out paragraph (1) an agency head shall give priority to achieving greater use of recovered mineral component in cement or concrete projects for which recovered mineral components historically have not been used or have been used only minimally.

The Administrator and each agency head shall carry out this subsection in accordance with section 6962 of this title.
(c) Full implementation study
(1) In general
The Administrator, in cooperation with the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Energy, shall conduct a study to determine the extent to which current procurement requirements, when fully implemented in accordance with subsection (b) of this section, may realize energy savings and environmental benefits attainable with substitution of recovered mineral component in cement used in cement or concrete projects.

The Exelon legal department and Drinker Biddle lawyers, in conjunction with the National Immigrant Justice Center, hosted a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals legal clinic.
The Exelon legal department and Drinker Biddle lawyers, in conjunction with the National Immigrant Justice Center, today hosted a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) legal clinic at Drinker Biddle's Chicago office.
Exelon and Drinker Biddle attorneys work with the National Immigrant Justice Center to provide volunteer legal services.
In 2012, Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano announced a process to allow undocumented individuals who were brought to the United States as young children (and who meet certain eligibility requirements) to remain and legally work in the United States for up to two years. Lawyers and staff from Drinker Biddle and Exelon assisted applicants in filling out the necessary paperwork required for this deferred action approval.
"We are honored that our client, Exelon, would partner with us in this very worthy endeavor," said Jesse Ruiz, partner in Drinker Biddle's Chicago office. "We pride ourselves on our commitment to our clients and our community, so our involvement in this effort was an easy choice. The overwhelming support from our lawyers and staff toward this effort speaks volumes."
Forty-five members of the Exelon legal department, including Exelon General Counsel Darryl Bradford, and 50 Drinker Biddle lawyers and staff assisted with the clinic. Approximately 40 DACA applicants (and family members) pre-registered for the event.
"As an active corporate citizen, Exelon takes its responsibility to the community seriously, and pro bono service is an important part of that," Bradford said. "We're pleased to partner with Drinker Biddle and the National Immigrant Justice Center to help young Chicagoans who otherwise may not have access to critical legal services."
In recognition of Exelon's, commitment to volunteer legal service, the American Bar Association earlier this month announced that the energy company would receive the 2013 Pro Bono Publico Award.
About Drinker BiddleDrinker Biddle & Reath LLP is a national law firm with 650 lawyers in 11 offices providing client service in areas such as intellectual property, commercial litigation, communications litigation, corporate and securities, corporate restructuring, employee benefits and executive compensation, environment and energy, government and regulatory affairs, health care, insurance coverage, investment management, labor and employment, life insurance and annuities, products liability and mass tort litigation, private client service and real estate.

Falcon Holidays reveal holiday bookings are up 15% year on year
Local tour operator Falcon Holidays has revealed that summer holiday sales for 2012 in Northern Ireland are up 15 per cent year on year.
This positive news comes hot on the heels of a recent Falcon poll which reported that 98 per cent of people surveyed across Ireland both North and South plan to take a holiday abroad this year.
Christine Donnelly of Falcon Holidays is hopeful that the increase in bookings and the positive survey results indicate a rise in consumer confidence and real boost for the package holiday industry.
"We are naturally delighted that Falcon summer bookings are up this year," said Christine. "Our recent survey results revealed that even in today's economic climate people still need to take a break from their hectic lifestyles and it is great to see that these finding are now reflected in our booking figures.
"January is always a busy booking period as many people like to beat the new year blues by booking a summer holiday that they can immediately start looking forward to, and we try to make it easier for them to do this with a range of discounts, free places and other special offers for people who book early," she added.
"We are delighted to see that 38% of this growth is in our unique Holiday Villages and SplashWorld Resorts. Our customers are continually looking for value for money and 69% of this growth is in all inclusive holidays, where they can manage their budget in advance. It's also very reassuring that 65% of the growth is customers returning to the age old favourite destinations of Spain and the Balearic islands."
"Not only does this show a willingness amongst Northern Ireland holidaymakers to go on holiday this summer, continued Christine. "It shows a confidence in booking with an established package holiday operator like Falcon, with whom they know that their holiday is properly bonded and that, most importantly, their money is safe and secure. Never has this been so important."
Christine concluded, "Although it's early days yet, it is great to see positivity back in the marketplace in Northern Ireland."

In the past people used to measure the length of a year according to the moon 28-days cycle but this obviously left a few days out, so I was wondering which civilization first realized this and fixed the problem? The Romans?
The Sumerian and Egyptian and old Roman calendars were practical ones - they simply added one or two days to a year when it was needed.
The Julian calendar was theoretical one - it was the first known calendar that set the months and days in all years beforehand. So a common man could and can know beforehand when the spring comes.
But even Julian or later Gregorian calendars don't coordinate sun and moon cycles.
As for beforehand moon/sun coordination, it was Mayan calendar that counted for all. It was very unpractical and complicated though. But precision was not bad - their predicted end of calendar had error only 3 days for 1000 years - very well for coordination of 3 independent cycles
Short and quick answer: definitely the Romans were NOT the first. Calendar of ancient Egyptians was solar, and Sumerian one - lunisolar, both of them fit your description, although the issue which of them is older is open, and in fact is a discussion of interpreting archeological materials. Hence it would be also impossible to provide any definitive, precise date for calendar development. Still, origin of both Egyptian and Sumerian one may be roughly dated to some time around 3000-2500 BC.

Does anyone have a copy of CIS software to access TEC controller subpoints? I use datamate but find it painfully slow in updating subpoint values. I recall that CIS gives you more real time response to changes. I believe there is a newer version that has a windows appearance.
Thanks for the consideration.

Good oral health is important, but taking care of your teeth isn't a proven way to prevent heart disease.
Poor oral health has been debated as a possible cause of heart disease for many years. In 2012, however, experts from the American Heart Association reviewed the available scientific evidence and concluded that poor oral health hasn't been proved to cause heart disease — and that treating existing gum disease hasn't been proved to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Both gum disease and heart disease involve swelling (inflammation), but swelling of the gums hasn't been proved to contribute to swelling elsewhere in the body. Similarly, the presence of bacteria on the teeth and gums hasn't been shown to directly contribute to heart disease.
Even though oral health isn't a key to heart disease prevention, it's still important to take care of your teeth and gums:
If you're concerned about heart disease prevention, ask your doctor about proven ways to reduce your risk — such as stopping smoking and maintaining a healthy weight.

Longchamp announces the opening of a flagship store on the world's most famous and most beautiful avenue, the Champs Elysees in Paris.
The announcement is a mark of the house's increasing strength and confidence in its international presence, as well as in its French home.
The new store sits in the most prestigious section of this iconic shopping street alongside other famous Parisian names such as Le Fouquet's, Ladurée and some of the world's finest hotels. It has a surface area of 500 m² spread over two floors. The store presents all of house's collections, including ready to wear and shoes as well as men's collections, luggage and all of Longchamp's iconic bags.
This new space continues many of the themes and materials seen in Longchamp store openings across the world since 2010. However, given the cultural heritage of this most important avenue and the Parisian history of the brand, it will include many original elements. A number of distinctive signs are planned to welcome visitors from all over the world and invite them to discover Longchamp's expertise, style and French flair.
In common with Longchamp's other flagship stores, the Champs Elysees store features a specially commissioned artwork. From a series called "Cloud Illusions", the sculpture by Danish artist Astrid Krogh is bending light and texture and forming a focal point of the store.
Longchamp CEO, and grandson of the House's founder, Jean Cassegrain says of the opening "Paris is the capital of fashion and the Champs-Elysées the most beautiful avenue in the world. This store opening is marking a big step in our history and is particularly exciting for us on an emotional level. Paris is our home. It is where the Longchamp brand began and is an important part of our heritage. In many ways the personality of Paris is also a reflection of Longchamp – vibrant, stylish, elegant, ever-changing yet constant, exciting and surprising. In addition, the Champs Elysees is Paris's most visited shopping destination. The avenue's expression of French flair and style provide the perfect environment for Longchamp".

getting older - it beats the alternative
I went to BestBuy today (first time to the Rapid City one, even though I've lived here for over a year). I was browsing the music section and started to make a mental list of all the cd's I wanted to purchase. Here is what makes me think that I might be getting older:
1. A lot of the cd's were marked down to about $9.99...new stuff never gets that low unless it sucks.
2. A lot of the cd's were by artists that no longer record (Earth Wind and Fire for instance) or were dead (Marvin Gaye, Barry White).
3. None of the songs I wanted were recorded after, say, 1985.
4. I hated most of the songs when I was young. Now I want them.
5. I could hear the songs as I read the titles.
So, nostalgia has hit me full on. Out of the 80 cd's I've purchased in the last nine months...only five or six were recorded after 1990 or 1991. I feel pathetic.
getting older - it beats the alternative
[quote author=pbharris link=board=17;threadid=10699;start=0#msg96037 date=1127017344]
getting older - it beats the alternative
I've found myself confronting some of those issues.
Though the cd prices have gone down in the last 10 years, since some court ruled they were overinflating the prices of cd's. I remember 8 years ago that the average peice for a cd was $17.99. Now is around $13.99 (I think.)
So you are back in the States again?
Jim, don't be so hard on yourself, half the music I bought was made before I was even born. The conclusion must therefore be that it's not us getting older, it's music that's getting crappier.
My gf e.g. refuses to buy music that's less than a decade old - because if it has survived a decade and she still likes it, it's worthwhile. Now she has had quite a few years more than me to enjoy music and I still own more CDs than her I think, I can easily point out which of the two collections of music I like the best... hers, it has music starting from before either one of us was born uptill fairly recently, no special genre just stuff that's good. If it lasts 10 years, it will last forever. Most stuff today isn't made to last 3 months, it has no depth, no soul.
Most of todays music is one hit wonders. Old school music is all I would buy, I hardly buy it anymore at all.
When Pepsi and iTunes had the cap promotion, I did download quite a bit, and most all of it was from the 70s & maybe 80s. Acouple was now days.
Old music kicks ass.

TRAINING: My training is different every day. There is one thing that stays consistent... I've been breaking limits. I've been pushing myself to get stronger, better, faster in the sport of MMA. I surround myself with good positive people doing the same thing I'm preppin' for - competition! My hands are tested every day, my nogi jiu-jitsu is on point and drilled every day, and I have stepped up my arsenal
When and why did you start training for fighting? I moved away from Michigan when I was 24 in pursuit of finding happiness and finding myself. What I found was an opportunity to keep competing after college wrestling and to put some extra change in my pocket. I always liked being in the spotlight as an athlete. What can I say? I'm a glory hound. After my second pro fight, I quit my day job and decided to give my life a fighting chance. I barely made ends meet by personal training and teaching self defense, but that's what I needed to do to keep my face in the gym 24/7. If you want something bad enough, you have to fight for it. For the first time in my life, things made sense. I'd just get up, train early & hard and lay some hands down to pay the bills. It made it feel like I earned my way doing what "I" wanted to do. I finally found my niche. Mixed Martial Arts as a whole has allowed me to express myself through movement and self-sacrifice. All or Nothing.
What ranks and titles have you held? The Ultimate Fighter season 13 winner. 3x Michigan High School Athletic Association All- State Honors w/ a State Championship my Senior year. 2x Collegiate All-American via Grand Valley State University, purple belt in BJJ
Do you have any heroes? Mr. Big Guns Upstairs...GOD, and Dan Gable
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means the world to me!!! I've never wanted anything so bad in my life. I've had my ups and downs in life, and, no matter what, I always found myself always making it through all right. I'm blessed to be able to keep competing. It's my dream and my destiny to show the whole world what I can do, what I am capable of physically and mentally.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I attended Central Michigan University and Muskegon Community College, and then found my way to Grand Valley State University. At the time, I didn't know what I wanted to be (I switched majors from Physical Therapy to Criminal Justice to Nursing), so I decided I would wait to finish my degree. I know now, though, and plan on re-enrolling in the fall to finish what I started!
What was your job before you started fighting? I've had a lot of jobs, but the one I had for the longest time was being a Bartender. I loved my job and loved being around so many people. I heard everyone's life story, and I was able to be hospitable and have a good time.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? 22 second KO in my first and only Ammy Fight!
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? Pure Combat 170lbs Welterweight World Champion Belt Holder. I also made TUF history, I guess, with the 1st Upkick KO in my 1st Ultimate Fighter showing!
Favorite grappling technique: Ankle pick, and low singles baby!!!
Favorite striking technique: Left Hook, Right Cross!!! Back ta back!

In April, Commissioner of Higher Education, Richard E. Kendall, honored a number of college and university faculty for their use and implementation of technology into distance learning and classroom instruction.
Among those honored with the award was Pamela Dupin-Bryant who is a professor at Utah State University and a graduate of Carbon High School and the College of Eastern Utah.
Dupin-Bryant won the Award of Merit in Distance Education for teaching a complex subject in an organized manner and for extending that instruction to students across the state.
Dupin-Bryant was one of 25 faculty from Utah's colleges and universities to get awards from the state system of higher education, including Greg Benson and Jan Curtis at CEU.
