Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - The Buffalo Sabres signed center Jochen Hecht to a one-year contract on Sunday. He didn't make it in time for the first part of the practice and get a warm reception from his teammates when he arrived at the First Niagara Center..
Hecht had four goals and four assists in 22 games for the Sabres in 2011-12. Hecht suffered a concussion in January of 2012 and missed the remainder of the season. He told the media Sunday that he was cleared to play at the end of last season. He decided to play in Germany not because of his health but because he wanted to be closer to his family.
Hecht said "There was a time during the summer where I didn't think it was going to happen but everything worked out," Hecht said. "The situations are imagined, the best one came out by returning back to Buffalo."
Acquired from Edmonton in a trade prior to the 2002-03 season, Hecht has recorded 133 goals and 198 assists in 566 regular-season games with Buffalo. He ranks 20th in franchise history in games played, goals and points.
In 786 career games with the Blues, Oilers and Sabres, Hecht has 181 goals and 268 assists. He also has 14 goals and 18 assists in 59 playoff contests.

It took nearly 60 minutes and a fortuitous bounce, but the Danville Dashers finally got to Matt Anthony.
Jonathan Juliano scored the deciding goal in the third period and goalie Justin Sand made 37 saves as Danville downed Thousand Islands, 2-0 on Thursday night in a Federal Hockey League clash at Watertown Municipal Arena.
In recording their first shutout this season, the Dashers (9-19) are only the second team to blank the Privateers (14-11) this season and the first to accomplish do so on Thousand Islands home ice.
Because of the holiday, most of us werent together for the last few days, Juliano said. So to come out and get a win like this and our first shutout of the season is big for us.
It was game that we should have won, Privateers assistant captain Peter Campbell said. We had lots of pressure, lots of chances and lots of opportunities. I guess we werent bearing down, and we didnt have it tonight. But thats no excuse we gave up a lot of chances as well.
Anthony, who shut out Danville twice earlier this season, held the Dashers scoreless for much of this meeting before Juliano broke through with his goal.
Weve had trouble with him the last couple games, Juliano said of Anthony. We just kept working hard, and we were just throwing everything at the net and got a lucky bounce.
Juliano took a shot from right corner, which caromed off Anthonys goal stick and into the net 14 minutes, 20 seconds into the final period.
It wasnt a pretty goal, Danville coach Rob Schweyer said. It was about hard work and determination in getting the puck to the net.
Anthony, who stopped 31 of 32 shots faced, had held Danville scoreless in eight-plus periods in three appearances against the Dashers this season.
Hes the backbone of our team, Campbell said of Anthony, whose scoreless streak against Danville was halted at 174:20. Hes a rock back there and he gives us a chance to win every night. Tonight was a perfect example of this, but we couldnt score a goal to help him.
Sand, who made 29 saves over the final two periods, improved to 5-1-0 with Danville.
Hes been really strong for us, Schweyer said of Sand. I think he was the missing piece of the puzzle for us after the first portion of the season, and he played another fantastic game for us.
Danvilles Kevin McCready was credited with an empty-net goal with 22.1 seconds remaining as a result of a Privateers miscue.
The Dashers endured a 16-hour bus trip from eastern Illinois through a snowstorm and made it into town late. As a result Thursdays game started nearly 20 minutes late.
In the 10 games, the boys have really come together and become united as a team and a family, Schweyer said. We had the adversity of being on a bus for 16 hours and really didnt get a full pregame meal. So for us to come out and play disciplined and get a win like this is nice to see.
Thousand Islands, while killing off all five Danville power plays, went 0-for-3 on the man advantage.
Late in the third period, the Privateers generated six shots on a pair of power plays, including a two-man advantage spanning 31 seconds, but were unable to cash in.
This is a tough loss, Campbell said. Were coming off the Christmas holiday after we had a big overtime win in Dayton, so we wanted to stay on a roll. But to start off like this is unacceptable. There are no excuses.
Thousand Islands, which out shot Danville, 37-33, had won seven of its previous eight home games before the setback.
After being out shot 11-8 through one period, the Privateers generated a 29-22 advantage in shots over the final 40 minutes.
There are some things you can control and some that you cant, Schweyer said of the long bus ride. Our guys just stuck with it and outbattled them.
The Privateers host the Dashers at 7:35 tonight and will also entertain the Williamsport Outlaws at 7:35 on Saturday night.
nNOTES: Thousand Islands leads the season series 3-2. ... The Privateers are now 10-4 on home ice. ... Fourth-place Danville has now won four of its past seven games after losing six consecutive games. ... The two teams meet again on Jan. 4-5 in Danville.

Hansen Surfboards is super stoked to host Cobian's "Meet Bethany Hamilton" event August 1 from 5 pm – 8 pm. So far, we've had a HUGE RESPONSE and several fans have indicated they'll will be driving from OUT OF STATE for a chance to meet Bethany.

Bethany will be signing autographs from 6 pm – 7 pm. Unfortunately, her schedule is jam packed and she needs rest for her upcoming contests and events. She'll most likely be able to sign 200 to 250 posters. We're disappointed that not everyone will have a chance to get a signature. So this event will be FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.

Fish Story (Fisshu sutori)
In 1975, an unpopular Japanese punk band called "Gekirin" (Wrath) starts work on their third album. Unfortunately the band is a little ahead of its time; punk won't be marketable until the Sex Pistols debut in the UK the following year. Due to nonexistent sales, their record company decides to drop them and they break up soon after recording their final song: "Fish Story". In 2012 a huge comet can be seen in the sky on a path to destroy Earth. The U.S. has failed in their attempt to blow it up and with only five hours left before impact, all major city streets are completely abandoned. That is, except for one record store that continues business as usual. Within the store, "Fish Story" can be heard playing on an old turntable.

The wait is finally over. The Nokia N900 is now available stateside. First introduced from Nokia World in September, 2009, the unit has released for the United States November, 2009. This follows months of delays and some speculated that the release would be delayed further. This internet table phone has some of the most powerful features available.
Using the Maemo operating system that gives the phone better quality and touch screen ability, the Nokia N900 unlocked is indeed a portable computer. The phone has 32 GB internal memory and a full QWERTY keyboard. With a 3.5-inch screen, it makes viewing easier with this smart phone.
The phone is a touch screen, which can be custom designed by the consumer and has 800 x 48 pixels for more accurate viewing. It has a 5-mega pixel camera, video and music players as well as an FM receiver. The unlocked Nokia cell phone (N900) supports Blue tooth technology and wi-fi capabilities.
Surfing and internet capabilities are extremely powerful. The phone has a slide out 3-row keyboard with enhanced lighting capabilities. The phone is also loaded with GPS software utilizing Ovi maps.
Currently a consumer can purchase the phone on line at Nokia, at Nokia cell phone retail outlets, and other retail outlets as well. American cell phone carriers have not currently introduced any kind of discount or incentive program for this phone as of yet. The suggested price for the N900 is six hundred and forty nine dollars.
This hot item will ultimately replace the N97 and will become the premier product of Nokia. With its powerful technology and sleek design, it is sure to be the hot item of the holiday season. The variety of applications as well as the speed and operating system makes this the smart phone of the year.

Hot trucks
Kids visiting the Warwick Public Library yesterday were treated to a "Touch-a-Truck" event in the back of the parking lot. A Warwick fire engine, city dump truck, street sweeper and state trooper police car were parked in the lot and excited children could sit in the cars, honk the horns and explore the equipment in the fire truck. Three-year-old Leo Zielinski posed on the bumper of Fire Engine 3 for a picture. His reaction? "The fire truck is hot."

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
College basketball is a tale of two halves.
For the USU Eastern Lady Eagles, the second half of each game on Friday and Saturday against Idaho Elite proved to be the difference as they dropped both games to start the 2012-13 season including a 56-47 loss on Friday night and a 71-41 loss on Saturday afternoon.
Playing against an Idaho Elite team comprised of former college players from BYU, Utah Valley University, Utah and others, USU Eastern played close for the first half in both games before falling victim to scoreless streaks, untimely turnovers and inconsistent play in the second half.
USU Eastern Head Coach Dave Paur said while the team played a good first half in both games, the team's play in the second half of each game proved to be the difference between a win and a loss.
"We just fell apart in both games in the second half," Paur said. "We had an opportunity to win going into the second half of each game but we couldn't get anything going."
Paur cited the experience of the Idaho Elite team as a problem going into the two games for his team. In particular he noted the play of 6-foot-3 center Cassie King, a former BYU player, who averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds in the two games.
"King may be one of the best post players I've coached against in 23 years," Paur said.
USU Eastern shot under 30 percent from the field in both games and shot just 9-of-26 (34 percent) from the free throw line which Paur called "atrocious".
Lerissa Quintana led the Lady Eagles on Friday night with a team-high 12 points and Amy Arbon led the team on Saturday with 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field.
Sophomore point guard Hailee Parry averaged 7.5 assists over the weekend.
USU Eastern center Brooke Slade battled down low with King and the other Idaho Elite post players and averaged 10 rebounds per game.
Paur said the team has had to play players out of position due to injuries. He is hopeful to have a full team heading into a tournament at Salt Lake Community College this weekend. The Lady Eagles will also have another shot at defeating Idaho Elite when they play again this weekend.


text: BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --The Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor hosts a class each Tuesday morning called "Science Detectives." On our visit, educator Trudi Plummer was teaching kids about the importance of slime in nature. While the kids were learning about slime, they were making their own thick, gooey, slime, and loving every minute of it. The science classes are part of the Museum's regular weekly programs, but this upcoming weekend the Museum will host a series of fun science experiments called Nano Days. We'll be showing you some of those experiments throughout the week.

A far cry from their 17th-century Plymouth Colony days--Marc Jacobs' F/W 12 take on the pilgrim shoe featured a stacked heel and was affixed with an oversized, rhinestoned-covered buckle--buckled shoes have rightfully secured a place in high-fashion territory. From menswear-inspired monk-strap brogues to evening ankle boots, buckled shoes are this season's hot commodity, hence, the reason we corralled some of the best styles to Go Buy Now.Our advice? Buckle down and snag a pair or two today!
On The Runway
The buckled footwear at Michael Kors, which included lug-sole lace-up boots and schoolgirl platform heels, was the perfect final touch to the collection's outdoorsy, cabin-in-the-woods theme--think: buffalo checks, shearling, and striped blanket ponchos. One of our favorites from the show, which was sadly not produced, featured a sturdy stacked, heeled, thick platform, and a day-to-evening versatility with street-ready appeal.
On The Streets
The triple buckle, red Chloe Susanna Studded Leather Boots ($1345) have been a street style favorite since the day they hit stores, and with so many interesting ways to wear these mid-heel beauties it's easy to see why. While they pair perfectly with skinny jeans or a mini skirt, we have to applaud Atlanta de Cadenet-Taylor for her unexpected yet completely cool styling, as seen on Stockholm Street Style. The tastemaker tempered an ornately beaded Chanel dress with these low-key boots, which grounded the elegant frock for a luxe daytime look.
On The Market
1. Alexander Wang Leather Monk-Strap Brogues ($425)
Leave it to Mr. Wang to create yet another desirable shoe! This time, it's a pair of mannish monk-strap brogues in the most amazing red leather. All you need now is a cropped pantsuit to complete an on-point, borrowed-from-the-boys look.
2. Acne Clover Boots ($550) in Petrol
If you want your buckled footwear to make a statement this season, look no further than Acne's Clover Boots in Petrol. The sky blue hue, wrap-around buckle, and low heel ensure these ankle boots will punch up any off-the-clock look. Not sold on blue? Try them in the more versatile black or chestnut.
3. AllSaints Widow Buckle Boots ($365)
Equal parts tough and chic, AllSaint's current take on buckled footwear has a neo-Goth vibe we're instantly drawn to. For an intriguing after-hours ensemble, contrast their edgy look with a lacy frock and opaque tights.
4. Jil Sander Leather Monk-Strap Ankle Boots ($870)
This fall, take a cue from the men and invest in a pair of monk-strap shoes. We have our hearts set on these Jil Sander boots-the combination of midnight blue and black patent leather is elegant and definitely unique. Slip them on to add polish to cuffed jeans and slouchy sweatshirts. Have a fall wardrobe budget to stick to? Frye's James Double Monk Shoes ($218) are equally chic-and offer a more affordable style you don't want to miss.
5. Aldo Brackney Booties ($160) in Bordeaux Suede
What happens when you combine a chic evening bootie, wrap-around buckle detailing, and the season's hottest shade (bordeaux)? You get Aldo's Brackney Booties-a foolproof wardrobe essential! Styling suggestion: go for an intriguing mix of oxblood hues with a leather skirt and nubby coat.
6. Giuseppe Zanotti Laceless Ankle Boots ($1360)
With an irresistibly cool combat boot vibe, Giuseppe Zanotti's Laceless Ankle Boots are a quick nod to the season's military trend. Play up their utilitarian spirit with a camo jacket, or go for a '90s-inspired look and style them with a velvet dress. If you can't invest quite so much, Pour La Victoire's Flat Moto Booties ($350) are a stellar alternative!
7. Zara Flat Ankle Boots with Buckles ($129)
Equipped with four buckle fastening straps and a sleek, ankle-grazing shape, these Zara boots are almost identical to the covetable Chloe rendition mentioned above. And if that's not reason enough to snag a pair now, then the fact that they're available at a fraction of the cost should do the trick!
8. KORS Michael Kors Meridian Boots ($395)
Whether you're treading through snow or hitting the city streets, Michael Kors has your footwear needs covered with his Meridian Boots. Seamlessly melding function and style, the utility boots feature a side zip for easy on-off access, while a lace-up front and buckle strap at the ankle ensure your foot will stay comfortably in place all day long.--Jessica Baker

Comments about Warwick Black Label Stainless Medium 6-String Bass Strings:
The Warwick Black Label Strings (WBLS) are amazing strings with great value. -The tone from these strings is great, the highs are accentuated and the lows are full and robust. Other strings I have used tend to be overly bright or lack good clarity. The WBLS have a great tonal balance.-The strings do not deaden as quickly as other strings that I have used (DR, Ernie Ball, etc.). The 'new string' sound persists after a multitude of shows and practices, while most other strings lose the 'new' sound within about two shows and/or practices.-The thicker B-string (.135) is nice, it reduces fret buzz and gives a clear tone when using the B-string. Most other basses have B-strings that are smaller (.125 to .130), which can be an issue especially if playing in a dropped tuning.I have tried a wide variety of other strings for my basses and I have come to the conclusion that the WBLS are the only ones that I will use on my basses (Warwick Corvette 6-string, ESP B-206, ESP C-305, Brice Z6 Fretless).

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams Redevelopment Authority has purchased the former Sons of Italy building for $150,000 from Deborah Renzi and K & M Nominee Trust of Pittsfield.
The money was taken from the HSP/Redevelopment Authority Account, which after the purchase has a balance of $150,000.
In a message to the City Council, Mayor Richard J. Alcombright said the purchase was to ensure overflow parking for Western Gateway Heritage State Park after an attempt to negotiate parking in return for an easement to hook into the city's sewer line.The property was purchased for $75,000 by Michael Renzi and Kurt Hotspot in spring 2010 with the idea of developing the building at 1492 Christopher Columbus Drive. The Sons had put the building up for sale in 2006 as its membership aged and declined. More than half its members were over the age of 80, Sons of Italy Lodge 704 Trustee Paul Catelotti said last year.
Renzi and Hotspot were aware of the septic issues but hoping to overcome them to develop the property into studio or retail space.
Alcombright explained the reasoning for the purchase in his communication to the council, posted below:
The city is hoping to spruce up Western Gateway Heritage State Park this spring with paint, landscaping and upgraded doors and windows.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The city is looking to pump more than $300,000 in repairs and renovations into Western Gateway Heritage State Park this spring. The hope is to have the park ready to take advantage of the completion of the Hadley Overpass and a state signage program in 2012.
"We see this now as a unique opportunity at the right time with all development that's going on to further utilize Heritage State Park," Mayor Richard Alcombright told the Redevelopment Authority on Monday. "The thing is we have to make it better or do something with it and generate some community interest ... or sell it."
The proposed renovations would include a complete landscape redesign at a cost of $100,000 to $150,000, resetting of the cobblestones, painting, replacement of doors and windows on several buildings, a new roof on Building 4, decking, and new signage. The mayor said he also would like to create a playground or child-friendly stations throughout the park.
The mayor looks over parking options at the park with the Redevelopment Authority. Right, the caboose has been locked up for awhile because of safety issues. It needs restoration and won't be included in the sprucing up this spring.
The city has operated the park since the 1980s and its success has varied over the years. Its best-known tenant is the Freight Yard Pub; it also has a museum operated by the North Adams Historical Society, a quilt shop, theater group, coffee distributor, Northern Berkshire Community Television studios and state visitors center and museum. It's been particularly hard hit because of the ongoing work on the Hadley Overpass.
"The park is losing somewhere around $20,000 or so a year," said the mayor. "We're hopeful that with the improvements this summer, with a recommitment of the city to provide activity down there and the completion of the bridge that this will be money well-spent."
For years, officials had hoped to link the park to the Mount Greylock State Reservation but were blocked by bad road conditions to the mountain. Furnace Street and Reservoir Road have been redone in the last decade and the state spent more than $21 million and two years repairing roads around the summit.
The state Department of Conservation and Recreation is looking to install signage and a kiosk, possibly an information center, at the park to aid visitors in finding their way to the state's highest peak. The main visitors center is on Rockwell Road in Lanesborough; the mountain can also be reached by taking Notch Road off Route 2 through a heavy residential area.
More signage in the right places could lead visitors to the park.
"The hope is that Heritage State Park will become the northside visitors center for Mount Greylock," said the mayor. "What makes us very excited about that is last year, 248,000 visitors reached the summit. Let's assume 15-20 percent go up or down the north side — that would breathe some life into the park."
He expected to spend $330,000 if the landscaping can be brought in at about $100,000. There is currently $313,000 in the park reserve account, a state grant of $50,000 and, possibly, $50,000 in unrestricted funds from DCR. The city has been maintaining the property but a project this size would be too hard to do internally, said Alcombright.
An easement agreement in being worked out with the owners of the Sons of Italy that could trade parking for access across city property to the sewer line. The parking area created on the south side of the bridge would be retained.
Chairman Paul Hopkins, Michael Leary and Kyle Hanlon were supportive but encouraged the mayor to locate parking spaces closer to the pub. Most complaints, they said, were about the distance patrons had to walk.
"It's a great start," said Leary.
The Redevelopment Authority meets as needed and has purview over select areas of the downtown. It was unclear if the park falls under its jurisdiction and for years the property has been overseen by the mayor's office.
Alcombright said it was the city solicitor's opinion that it should fall under the board, of which the mayor is a member. Besides, he said, he wanted the board in the loop particularly when spending funds.
"It's a good sum of money, it's a big project and we will come back before the authority for an appropriation," he said.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Community Development Committee rejected on Tuesday a proposal to name a street for a famous former resident and, instead, find a better way to honor him.
"I don't think we should rename streets except for to address public safety issues," said Chairwoman Lisa Blackmer. "It's costly."
Local historian Paul W. Marino had approached the City Council last November to consider renaming the section of Summer Street between Ashland and Church streets for Lue Gim Gong, a horticulturist who bred the late-maturing orange often named for him.
Lue had lived for a time in the Burlingame house on the corner of Summer and Church that is now better known as the offices of chiropractor Peter May.
Lue Gim Gong came to North Adams as a boy.
Blackmer acknowledged Lue's accomplishments, particularly the orange ("Which I guess is great for all mankind.") but didn't think changing street names was an option. Larry Murray, a resident of that section of Summer Street, said he, too, was opposed to the change because of the aggravation it would cause.
Fellow committee members David Lamarre and Michael Boland agreed that renaming the street should not be recommended to the council. Councilor Marie Harpin, also in attendance, thought her colleagues were right.
However, they were open to other possibilities of honoring Lue, who spent most of his life in the state of Florida but kept in contact with North Adams residents.
"I think something more in the spirit of his accomplishments," said Boland, who suggested renaming one of the planned pocket parks for him or possibly the greenhouse program at Drury High School. "Since his history is a horticulturist, maybe tie something into that."
Marino said, "monuments have a tendency to become invisible." He'd hoped for the street change and a marker at the private Burlingame house to reinforce name recognition.
Lamarre and Boland thought that might be accomplished at Western Gateway Heritage State Park — a path and/or garden area named for Lue and a display at the North Adams Museum of History and Science.
The committee voted to refer the matter to the Conservation Commission and the Historic Commission.
Heritage State Park is pretty — empty.
The former railyard in the heart of the city was once the gateway for all traffic moving west. Now it's targeted to become a gateway again, but not to the west. This time it will be a stopping point before going — up.
The city and the state Department of Recreation and Conservation are looking into revamping Western Gateway Heritage State Park into the northern gateway to the state's highest peak, Mount Greylock.
DCR Commissioner Richard Sullivan briefly touched on the subject on Wednesday during his talk at the Massachusetts Mayors Association's monthly meeting. "We're working closely with the mayor here in North Adams to turn Heritage Park into the new gateway, the northern gateway, to that facility and we expect that it's going to be big for tourists."
The state's already invested $23 million into rebuilding the roads to the peak in the state reservation; another $900,000 in federal funds is being spent for wayside stations, interpretative kiosks and regular signage.
Mayor Richard Alcombright said some of that signage money will be used to direct tourists to Heritage Park, much like the state directs people to the southern access point at the Mount Greylock Visitors Center on Rockwell Road in Lanesborough. Visitors will be encouraged to use Reservoir Road to the park's entrance rather than Notch Road. That street is off a busy, curved section of Route 2 with limited visibility for exiting.
"There's also hopes that the DCR will also put a visitors' center in there in Heritage State Park," said the mayor. "We do have some money in our Heritage State Park account and we can partner with them [on grants]. ... We're going to do a really nice facelift to Heritage State Park, painting, a whole new landscape design, try to put a little playground back there."
The revamp will include fixing the crumbling retaining walls, finding ways to better utilize the foot bridge and urging Pan Am Railways (Guilford) to clean up the weeds and foliage around the trestle.
"So, next year we do a facelift and coupled with this [sign] project, market the heck out of it," said Alcombright.
The park's seen its ups and downs. Its most popular tenant is the Freight Yard Pub; a quilt shop, the city's historical society, a DCR visitors center focused on trains and Northern Berkshire Community Television are also in there. But there's still plenty of empty space and the park can sometimes look bedraggled, with weeds popping up through the cobblestone walks.
The former railyard — once a seedy area whose buildings were used for railway storage and apartments not so long ago — has never quite lived up to its potential. Encouraging its use as pitstop on the way to the state's oldest park could well bring back a little of its glory days as the gateway to big things.
Have you been to Western Gateway Heritage State Park lately? The volunteers at the North Adams Museum of History and Science are inviting the community to come by on Saturday - and bring a friend.
Sure, there's a lot of construction going on around the Hadley Overpass, but don't let that deter you. The North Adams Trolley will be picking up and dropping off from 12:30 to 3:30 on Saturday afternoon at the park and from Main Street, the St. Anthony's Municipal Parking Lot, City Hall, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the Sons of Italy.
The North Adams Historical Society is encouraging residents and visitors to tour all the venues in the state park. Along with the museum, which features the golden, refurbished J.J. Newberry letters installed on their traditional red background, a number of other events are occuring throughout the day:
• "Furniture That Talks," an exhibit with creator/collector Don Trimarchi at the museum, runs from 10 to 4
• Talk at the park Visitors' Center in Building 4 at 2
• Mill City Productions highlights past performances and preps for upcoming caberet from noon to 3
• Tunnel City Coffee will be offering samples from 10 to 11:30 under the Freight Yard Pub tent and during the Mill City event
• Tony Pisano will discuss beekeeping in the morning
• Tala's Quilt Shop will offer quilting demonstrations
• Freight Yard Pub is offering a special lunch

(a) Purpose
Not later than 64 months after January 7, 1983, the Secretary is authorized to, to the extent practicable, begin at a site evaluated under section 10194 of this title, as part of and as an extension of siting research activities of such site under such section, the mining and construction of a test and evaluation facility. Prior to the mining and construction of such facility, the Secretary shall prepare an environmental assessment. The purpose of such facility shall be—
(2) to provide the conditions under which known technological components can be integrated to demonstrate a functioning repository-like system;
(3) to provide a means of identifying, evaluating, and resolving potential repository licensing issues that could not be resolved during the siting research program conducted under section 10192 [1] of this title;
(5) to refine the design and engineering of repository components and systems and to confirm the predicted behavior of such components and systems;
(6) to supplement the siting data, the generic and specific geological characteristics developed under section 10194 of this title relating to isolating disposal materials in the physical environment of a repository;
(7) to evaluate the design concepts for packaging, handling, and emplacement of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel at the design rate; and
(b) Design
The Secretary shall design each test and evaluation facility—
(1) to be capable of receiving not more than 100 full-sized canisters of solidified high-level radioactive waste (which canisters shall not exceed an aggregate weight of 100 metric tons), except that spent nuclear fuel may be used instead of such waste if such waste cannot be obtained under reasonable conditions;
(2) to permit full retrieval of solidified high-level radioactive waste, or other radioactive material used by the Secretary for testing, upon completion of the technology demonstration activities; and
(c) Operation
(1) Not later than 88 months after January 7, 1983, the Secretary shall begin an in situ testing program at the test and evaluation facility in accordance with the mission plan developed under section 10221 of this title, for purposes of—
(A) conducting in situ tests of bore hole sealing, geologic media fracture sealing, and room closure to establish the techniques and performance for isolation of high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, or other radioactive materials from the biosphere;
(B) conducting in situ tests with radioactive sources and materials to evaluate and improve reliable models for radionuclide migration, absorption, and containment within the engineered barriers and geologic media involved, if the Secretary finds there is reasonable assurance that such radioactive sources and materials will not threaten the use of such site as a repository;
(C) conducting in situ tests to evaluate and improve models for ground water or brine flow through fractured geologic media;
(D) conducting in situ tests under conditions representing the real time and the accelerated time behavior of the engineered barriers within the geologic environment involved;
(E) conducting in situ tests to evaluate the effects of heat and pressure on the geologic media involved, on the hydrology of the surrounding area, and on the integrity of the disposal packages;
(F) conducting in situ tests under both normal and abnormal repository conditions to establish safe design limits for disposal packages and to determine the effects of the gross release of radionuclides into surroundings, and the effects of various credible failure modes, including—
(G) conducting such other research and development activities as the Secretary considers appropriate, including such activities necessary to obtain the use of high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, or other radioactive materials (such as any highly radioactive material from the Three Mile Island nuclear powerplant or from the West Valley Demonstration Project) for test and evaluation purposes, if such other activities are reasonably necessary to support the repository program and if there is reasonable assurance that the radioactive sources involved will not threaten the use of such site as a repository.
(d) Use of existing Department facilities
During the conducting of siting research activities under section 10194 of this title and for such period thereafter as the Secretary considers appropriate, the Secretary shall use Department facilities owned by the Federal Government on January 7, 1983, for the conducting of generically applicable tests regarding packaging, handling, and emplacement technology for solidified high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel from civilian nuclear activities.
(e) Engineered barriers
(f) Role of Commission
(A) Not later than 1 year after January 7, 1983, the Secretary and the Commission shall reach a written understanding establishing the procedures for review, consultation, and coordination in the planning, construction, and operation of the test and evaluation facility under this section. Such understanding shall establish a schedule, consistent with the deadlines set forth in this subchapter, [2] for submission by the Secretary of, and review by the Commission of and necessary action on—
(i) the mission plan prepared under section 10221 of this title; and
(B) Such understanding shall also establish the conditions under which the Commission may have access to the test and evaluation facility for the purpose of assessing any public health and safety concerns that it may have. No shafts may be excavated for the test and evaluation until the Secretary and the Commission enter into such understanding.
(2) Subject to section 10225 of this title, the test and evaluation facility, and the facilities authorized in this section, shall be constructed and operated as research, development, and demonstration facilities, and shall not be subject to licensing under section 5842 of this title.
(A) The Commission shall carry out a continuing analysis of the activities undertaken under this section to evaluate the adequacy of the consideration of public health and safety issues.
(g) Environmental review
The Secretary shall prepare an environmental impact statement under section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332 (2)(C)) prior to conducting tests with radioactive materials at the test and evaluation facility. Such environmental impact statement shall incorporate, to the extent practicable, the environmental assessment prepared under subsection (a) of this section. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to limit siting research activities conducted under section 10194 of this title. This subsection shall apply only to activities performed exclusively for a test and evaluation facility.
(h) Limitations
(1) If the test and evaluation facility is not located at the site of a repository, the Secretary shall obtain the concurrence of the Commission with respect to the decontamination and decommissioning of such facility.
(2) If the test and evaluation facility is not located at a candidate site or repository site, the Secretary shall conduct only the portion of the in situ testing program required in subsection (c) of this section determined by the Secretary to be useful in carrying out the purposes of this chapter.

Service Project Reflection
Two months ago, I was trekking through the Cedar River Watershed in Seattle, Wash. I was delighted to be spending a week of my summer with fellow Roots & Shoots Youth Leaders at the 2011 Youth Leadership Retreat. Every year, the retreat offers valuable training through workshops and service. This year's service project in Seattle allowed Youth Leaders to study the effectiveness of local watershed conservation projects. Currently, participants are developing a PSA from the video footage that we captured during our visit.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Certified Home Health Agency will stop taking new patients Sunday and layoffs at the Public Health Department could begin the next day.
The county agency and its Long-Term Home Health Care Program were casualties of last years budget discussions when legislators decided to shut them down because of increasing competition and the cost of providing the service.
The county agency has 159 patients. As the numbers decrease, layoffs will accelerate. The county projected an overall loss of 32 positions.
For the immediate impact, five people will likely file for unemployment, Human Resources Director Christopher S. Boulio told legislators Monday.
Two clerical workers will transfer into Community Services after a reorganization of some positions in that department. One clerical worker is slated for layoff, Mr. Boulio said.
Of nine home health aides and licensed practical nurses, five filed for retirement. One took a job at a nutrition site through the Office for the Aging, Mr. Boulio said.
Registered nurses are finding jobs with Health Services of Northern New York, another CHHA operating within the county. Others have retired or found work at other health care institutions, Mr. Boulio said.
The county has received its closure notice from the state Health Department, Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
Last year, the state lifted a moratorium on new CHHAs to coincide with a redesign of Medicaid so that it has enough of the agencies as it moves into more managed care.
The state has already approved the application of Northern Lights a partnership of Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg, Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley and United Helpers Management Co. to operate a CHHA in the county. Two other agencies have also filed applications to operate CHHAs in the county.

|ASU Squanders Late Lead in Loss to Georgia
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Wednesday, 13 March 2013 06:26
Georgia erased Appalachian State University baseball's 3-2 lead by scoring five runs with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning and the Bulldogs went on to defeat the Mountaineers, 9-4, on Tuesday evening at Foley Field.
Preston Troutman (Rockwell, N.C./East Rowan) hit a leadoff home run in the top of the fifth inning that snapped a 2-2 deadlock and gave Appalachian State (8-5) the one-run advantage that it would maintain until the bottom of the seventh.

The ExpoDisc "Neutral" Filter is designed to be used in all photographic lighting situations where it is necessary to set a neutral white balance. It is the most versatile of the two filters. The "Neutral" Filter will produce images with white whites and gray grays.
Even the best digital cameras are incapable of consistently delivering accurate color without the user performing a custom white balance. Auto (AWB) and preset white balance functions often produce maddeningly inconsistent results. Images shot without a correct white balance may have unnatural looking red, yellow or blue tints that are time consuming and difficult, if not impossible to correct.
Recognizing the importance of custom white balance to good color, digital camera manufacturers have designed their cameras to take advantage of a custom white balance. A custom white balance calibrates the camera to the exact color temperature of light illuminating the subject.
The ExpoDisc Professional Digital White Balance Filter (patent pending) is a custom white balance filter that allows digital photographers to quickly and easily set an accurate custom white balance. Consistently producing excellent results in natural, artificial, and studio lighting, the versatile ExpoDisc even excels in difficult mixed lighting environments.
The ExpoDisc is far easier to use than any gray card, white card or calibration target. Simply place the ExpoDisc in front of your lens and capture the incident light while setting your cameras custom white balance. Using an ExpoDisc custom white balance will virtually eliminate the need for RAW or JPEG post-capture color adjustments.
ExpoDisc technology takes a unique approach to setting a custom white balance and producing accurate color. The ExpoDisc essentially uses your cameras built-in custom white balance capability to turn the camera into an incident color-metering tool. By setting white balance as an incident filter rather than as a reflective target, the ExpoDisc avoids the common problems and inconveniences associated with using gray cards, white cards and calibration targets: unwieldy size, unwanted reflectivity, improper angling and difficulty of filling the frame.
As the inventors of the Digital White Balance Filter, we have always gone to great lengths to ensure the neutrality of every ExpoDisc. Every ExpoDisc is assembled, measured and calibrated to our strict tolerances of color neutrality and light transmission on a sophisticated transmission spectrophotometer at our facility in California. We test and calibrate each ExpoDisc for 18% light transmission and neutrality in the visible spectrum (400nm to 700nm). The ExpoDisc's 18% light transmission allows the ExpoDisc to be used as an incident ambient exposure tool (as you would with an 18% gray card), as well as for white balance.
The accuracy of a custom white balance depends upon the specific color characteristics of the material used to set the white balance, in conjunction with the color temperature of light the white balance is set against. In order to trust a white balance tool in a variety of shooting environments, it must be neutral across the entire visible spectrum. Using a non-neutral tool will introduce a color cast in your images.
ExpoDiscs are constructed of multiple layers of carefully selected optical grade materials. Because weve found that no single material has the same optical characteristics from batch to batch, by incorporating multiple layers of diffusion filters and gels, we are able to compensate for variations in materials and to produce a product which is extremely neutral.
The ExpoDisc's multi-layer design combined with our commitment to testing makes the convenient-to-use ExpoDisc the best white balance tool available.
ExpoDisc filters are available with quick pressure release friction mounts in standard size, 82mm.
The ExpoDisc works with any digital SLR and digital video camera with a white balance function.
ExpoDisc filters are available with quick pressure release friction mounts in standard size, 82mm.
All ExpoDiscs work just as great for video applications as they do with still cameras.
The ExpoDisc excels as a video white balance tool, especially in situations where a videographer needs to quickly set white balance while on the move.
The ExpoDisc transmits 18% of light in the visible spectrum through to your cameras film or image sensor
The ExpoDisc is calibrated for 18% light transmission, meaning a properly exposed reference image through the ExpoDisc will produce a usable 18% neutral gray.
Features and Benefits of ExpoDisc Neutral
- Neutral (+/-2%)
- 18% Light Transmission
- Set and Check Exposure (Middle Zone V)
- Better in Mixed Light
- Post Production Color Balance with RAW Image Files
- Produces Great Color on JPEG Image Files
- Easy Dust Identification

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The biggest surprise of election night may have been the massive shift in the balance of power in the Maine legislature. Two years ago Republicans took control. But now Democrats have won solid majorities in both the House and Senate.
Final counts are in for every race, but as of Wednesday afternoon Democrats were looking at holding as many as 21 seats in the Senate, compared to just 13 for Republicans. In the House, Democrats could wind up with as many as 87 seats, compared to a maximum of 60 for Republicans.
It's a dramatic turnaround from just two years ago, when republicans swept into power on the coat-tails of Governor Paul LePage. Democratic leaders say they won because of widespread unhappiness with what they call the "extreme policies" of the Governor and GOP majority. Republicans say democrats used several million dollars in campaign money to launch attack ads and mailings against key Republican candidates. The GOP, however, says it also spent more than a million dollars on legislative campaigns.
Now that the election is over, both parties are promising to work together to solve the state's financial problems. Democratic leaders say they will work with Governor LePage as much as possible. In a written statement, the Governor said "...we must come together to find solutions to our fiscal challenges that will lead to the recovery of our economy and improve prosperity for hardworking families and businesses. I stand ready to work with those who will put Mainers first and won't allow the political rhetoric to continue."
But there may well be battles over some major parts of the GOP agenda from the past two years. Democrats say they want to make changes to the Republican health insurance reform law, and change some parts of a tax reform package passed as part of the fire two-year budget. Besides those issues, the Governor will be proposing a new, two-year budget and a number of bills dealing with energy, education and other issues where he may clash with Democrats.
The new Legislature will be sworn in the first week of December. The two parties in the House and Senate will choose their new leaders during the next two weeks. In the Senate, Sen. Justin Alfond of Portland appears the likely candidate to be the next Senate President. In the House, Democrats say there are at least four people already lining up to run for Speaker of the House.
Democrats will also get to elect a new Attorney General, Secretary of State and State Treasurer.

Dion Berryman scores with incredible finish in the corner against Toulouse
Toulouse got their Heineken Cup campaign off to a solid start with a convincing 38-5 bonus point victory over Zebre at the Stade Ernest Wallon on Friday night. They scored six tries but the most memorable finish of the night went to Zebre's Dion Berryman.
The French giants put the game out of reach in the first half despite Berryman's stunning superman effort early in the second. Three tries in nine minutes got them underway as Zebre looked like they would continue to struggle in Europe, continuing with their poor form from the Pro12.
Yoann Huget finished a stunning effort for the home side after Maxime Medard and Clement Poitrenaud combined to put him away. It was a contender for try of the match, and perhaps the round, but Berryman then produced a piece of magic to get Zebre's only try of the night.
From turnover ball he stepped Medard then shot for the corner and somehow managed to float through the air long enough to get the ball down, while the rest of his body was up and out of play.
We've seen this type of thing in the NRL in Australia before, but this was without a doubt one of the tries of a thoroughly enjoyable opening Heineken Cup weekend.
Yannick Nyanga scored for Toulouse later in the game, but Zebre did well to restrict the hosts from really running away with things. You can view all the match highlights on page two of this post, which includes that great Huget try that is mentioned above.

I seem to remember in the past in some scenarios commentators mentioning while we all awaited a TMO verdict that it was "the tackler" who hit the flagpole so the ball carrier was still "in-play" etc, but now it sounds like it matters not either way? Or is it due to the ball carrier being in the air at the time of contact with the pole?

If you want to be blown away watch this compilation of corner tries from the last few NRL seasons where it seems to be more common already.
Nobody was doing anything like that before the rule change, really.

And Now for Something Completely Different
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 11/06/06, 11:05am:
Think about this for a second: Each of the past 15 games the Clippers have faced either DEN or PHX. PHX demands a unique game plan and Denver presents the odd combination of a high-octane offense coupled with a bulky interior defense. The Clippers have been tailoring their game so specifically to the two teams that we've almost forgotten how they function on a nightly basis against more balanced squads.
Interesting evaluation by Blazer play-by-play man, Mike Barrett, of Portland's early-season challenges to find their identity:
The Blazers wanted to go big against Seattle, and were forced to go small. Then they were outplayed by a small lineup at Golden State on Friday, after the Warriors had gone big early in the game to match them. Saturday night, the Blazers wanted to go big, to match the Timberwolves size, but couldn't. They tried to slow the pace of the game against the Sonics and Warriors, and Saturday night tried to get out and run and speed things up. What we've seen is good coaching. Playing, and winning, different ways. That's the mark of a solid team.
Sound familiar?
One of the chestnuts of the NBA is that a professional basketball game is all about matchups. It may be a platitude or a cliché, but it's true. That's how the Clippers rebounded Saturday night. They told PHX, "if you're going to commit to covering out bigs down on the block, we're gonna use that space out on the perimeter to take you off the dribble or back you in." That was the problem with the first game against PHX. Instead of using that space to
do slash and post, the Clippers heaved up perimeter jumpers.
Portland presents an opportunity for the Clippers to get back to basics on offense - working the ball into EB with side screens, Maggette destabilizing the rotation through penetration on Randolph, Kaman setting up on the block and forcing McMillan to make a decision on whether Magloire needs help and, if so, from where.
Defensively, I suspect Mobley will draw Brandon Roy and Q. Ross will get Zach Randolph, who is an interesting assignment in that he's a solid post player who has really expanded his game, so much so that he's been starting at the SF for Portland. As much as POR has improved, that's their problem - they don't have anyone who can score down low.

I'm a newbie to Linux- so far so good.
I am currently trying to get a PPP connection to MSN, but first I need to get the system to recognize the modem. It is an Intel HaM MD563x using the kernel 2.4 driver "408-2". During bootup, there is a line stating something regarding the obsolete /dev/cua, which is the older serial port device. I can dial out using Minicom, but the system does not otherwise recognise the modem (using the Dialup configuration utility in the GNOME desktop). Is Minicom using the cua device? If so, is there a way to assign a ttyS to a cua device?
Also, providing that I can get to MSN, what other parameters might be needed to run PPP? Through Minicom, I was able to get a login and password, but it returned 'Bad Password' when I tried to login. Could this be an authentication problem?
Any help will be appreciated!
thanks, Plantiful
Your in luck, I have had this EXACT problem, I even have MSN!
First, CUA is being driven out of the kernel in subsititution for TtySx(x being your port 0 for com1, 1 for com2, etc...) You have to actually figure out what port your modem is on. So do it this way if you don't know already
setserial -a /dev/ttyS0
do that through all the numbers 0 - 3 to test all ports...you'll see which one is the modem because it will have the baud and the 16550A junk...
then you need to do a dynamic link between your ttySx port and the /dev/modem device by
ln /dev/ttySx /dev/modem
x being which port you found your modem on.
you then have to configure your ppp dial up utility. you need to type in
if this doesn't work then you need to install this package off of the CD. MSN uses PAP(Password Authentication Protocol) to assume a connection. So you will set up the menu to do such...it will ask you for your username it will be
MSN/your firstname.lastname@example.com
then it'll ask for password
now you need to do a little more to get it configured.....goto your /etc directory. I am going to assume you have a text editor of choice by this time.... so this is what you'll do
in your /etc directory you'll edit a file called resolv.conf
this file might not exist yet so you will have to create it with the editor....
inside the file will look like this
domain msn.com
nameserver dns.entry.1.here
nameserver dns.entry.2.here
then you'll save the file after entering in this info
then your going to edit the host.conf file this should look like this
order hosts,bind
multi on
then save this file, this file should exist but might not create it if it doesn't.
now you should be able to dial up with gopp or pppgo, or whatever the command is for your distro....I have to type ppgo
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.

Undersheriff Andrew R. Neff, who has been suspended with pay since Oct. 25, will retire on Friday, according to David J. Paulsen, Jefferson County attorney.
Mr. Paulsen said he received a letter from Mr. Neffs attorney, Nathaniel G. Lambright, a partner at Blitman & King LLP, Syracuse, indicating that Mr. Neff had set Friday as the effective date.
Mr. Neff is under investigation by state police for allegations of sexual harassment brought against him by Michele R. Bowens, 42, of 17987 County Route 76, a convicted felon who was recently sentenced to three years in prison for second-degree attempted forgery and fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
Ms. Bowens was sentenced to 1� to 3 years in prison in December 2007 for fourth-degree grand larceny. She maintains that after her release in September 2008, she worked as an informant for the Metro-Jeff Drug Task Force, of which Mr. Neff was a member.
She also claims that she became involved in a relationship with Mr. Neff, despite a Sheriffs Department policy forbidding its members to consort with known criminals.
The relationship ended, but Ms. Bowens claims that after the latest indictment against her became public in October, Mr. Neff contacted her and offered to intervene on her behalf with the district attorneys office in exchange for sexual favors. She also alleges that Mr. Neff sent her unwanted photos of a mans penis using his county-issued phone. Ms. Bowens has filed a notice of claim a necessary precursor to any lawsuit against a municipality with the county, but no suit has been filed.
According to earlier reports, Mr. Neff was expected to announce his retirement in mid-January.
At the time, Sheriff John P. Burns said, He served the county for 25 years and he did a good job. I wouldnt want anything to hurt him in terms of benefits.
Mr. Burns said he wanted Mr. Neff to retire with his dignity.
Mr. Paulsen said Mr. Neff will be receiving some amount of accrued vacation.
More information about Mr. Neffs retirement benefits will be forthcoming. According to the 2013 adopted budget, the undersheriff is paid an annual salary of $71,138.

Report: Dow's plastic additives production site at Grangemouth up for sale
April 23, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Dow Chemical's plastic additive production site near Grangemouth, UK, has been put up for sale, according to a report in local newspaper, The Falkirk Herald, published today. The Grangemouth site was acquired as part of the $15.4-billion acquisition of Rohm and Haas in 2009. Dow was not immediately available for comment. The decision, however, would be in line with Dow's previously announced $1.5-billion divestiture plan that is expected to take place over an 18-month period and include plastic additive assets, as reported by CW.

Sanchez Benched; McElroy to start
Jake Steinberg , TheJetsBlog.com
According to a person close to the situation, Rex Ryan informed the quarterbacks this morning that Greg McElroy will start Sunday vs. the Chargers.
This comes as little surprise, due to the fact that Sanchez struggled mightily yesterday. Furthermore, it just proves Tim Tebow is not a part of the future plans. With the Jets eliminated from the playoffs, it's time to give GMac a shot to show us what he's got.
I've been lucky enough to have formed a friendship with him over the past year and a half, and I can honestly say he is one of the most dedicated, hard working, down-to-earth players on the team. Never was that more evident than 2 weeks ago, when he hit me up at 11:00PM … as he was leaving the facility. Keep in mind he arrives at 6:00AM every morning. Last player to leave, first one to arrive. GMac worked endlessly to get this shot, and I can say with confidence he will make the most of it.

BUFFALO, NY -- Most of us know that time sure does fly by. We took a look back at what has changed over the twelve years since the class of 2014 stared Kindergarten!
Mary Friona did a story on her daughter, Maria when she first started school back in 2001. It was a different time. It was five days before the attacks of September 11th. It was before Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It was before smartphones and other technology that now play a huge role in learning and social aspects of life for these teenagers.
School security is tighter, standards are higher and the direction of careers and jobs has changed drastically.

If clothes make the man, as Mark Twain famously penned, we think that accessories make the woman. A well-chosen belt or slick pair of sandals can elevate a so-so outfit to the sublime and quickly communicate your personality. Of course, not everyone has equal accessorizing abilities. While some of us will always wonder if weÂ've made the right choices, others are super-skilled and know exactly how to mix things up to great effect. TodayÂ's insider falls into the latter category, of course, and is a top talent in her industry. Wickedly funny and wildly knowledgeable, Anne Slowey is ELLEÂ's Fashion News Director and (more importantly, for our purposes anyway) she also edits the great ELLE Accessories.
Despite her whirlwind schedule and insane workload, Slowey chatted with us about a few of her favorite spring accessories for todayÂ's story. She illuminated us as to why these particular items caught her eye and even shared a few notes on how to wear each piece.
Iossellani Multi Ring ($720)
The mash up of 18K yellow gold, silver, and sapphires is incredibly appealing to Slowey. She likes the vintage feeling of this ring, plus the interesting details make it a personal piece. We like the fact that the ring looks like it would punch you for calling it Â"pretty.Â"
Shoes For Lovely People Crystal Flats
These multicolor snakeskin flats with cutout detailing charmed Slowey. Â"I love that the shoe is a little preppy and ethnic at the same time,Â" she said, and we completely agree with her assessment.
Ligia Dias for 3.1 Phillip Lim Necklace ($970)
This runway piece is the handiwork of French jewelry designer Ligia Dias. Prior to launching her eponymous line, the designer collaborated with Alber Elbaz at Lanvin for three years. The ethnic necklace with turquoise stones on black rope is available at the 3.1 Phillip Lim store in Soho (212.334.1160).
Chanel Pink Patent Belt ($920)
The classic Chanel signature buckle belt got a new wave update this season. The neon pink patent adds an of-the-moment touch to any outfit. Also check out the Babe Belt ($99) by Acne Jeans for a skinnier style or the Melamed Demi Patent Belt ($160).
Wunderkind Vintage Acetate Cat Eye Sunglasses (price upon request)
These modified cat-eye sunglasses from Wunderkind are wonderfully usual and intriguing. Sunglasses junkies, we have the exact style number for you, just ask for the A 45: WKI 0002 B.
Jil Sander Bracelet Clutch ($595)
Slowey loves this smart, chic, dove gray mini clutch for evening. Though itÂ's super small (5Â"x5.5Â"x1Â"), her three essentials itemsÂ--credit card, key card, and lip glossÂ--fit nicely inside.
Sergio Rossi Splash Patent Paint Drip Pumps ($475)
These perrywinkle paint drip secretary pumps are a cheeky take on the seasonÂ's obsession with all things arty. If youÂ're not having a blue period, please note that theyÂ're also available in red or black.

Congrats to team Ganassi for their Rolex 24 win.
Will the Cessna sponsership be on the #01 Scott Pruett driven BMW today for the Rolex 24 @ Daytona?
I'll be wathcing on SpeedHD beginning @ 3pm this afternoon
Good luck Team CGRT
This type of sponsorship is generally $500,000 and up in terms of yearly costs. I can certainly see the advantage for Ganassi, but fail to see what this will do for Cessna. I doubt many will buy a Cessna simply because the name appears on the hood of a race car. I dare say that Cessna would have gotten more bang for the buck by using the money to reduce the cost of the 172 and 182 and getting more people flying. Pilot starts are low and likely to stay there and if a company such as Cessna wants to sell more planes, the secret is to increase its customer base.

< | Using the Mouse in SketchUp >
SketchUp (a Trimble product) is designed to be simple and easy to use. The main parts of the SketchUp interface are the Title bar, menus, toolbars and tool palettes, drawing area, Status bar, and the Measurements toolbar. The following images show the SketchUp user interface.Windows
Mac OS X
Title Bar
The title bar, at the top of SketchUp, contains the standard window controls (close, minimize, and maximize), the name of the currently opened file, and a title bar collapse/expand button on the right (Mac only). A blank drawing area appears when you start SketchUp and the name of the currently opened file is "Untitled" in the title bar, indicating that you have not yet saved your work.Menus
Menus appear below the title bar on a Windows machine and at the top of your screen on a Mac. The majority of SketchUp tools, commands, and settings are available within these menus. The menus are: SketchUp (Mac only), File, Edit, View, Camera, Draw, Tools, Window, and Help.Toolbars
The toolbars, appearing below the menus and along the left side of the Windows application, contain a user-defined set of tools and controls. By default, the toolbar contains the basic set of SketchUp tools, referred to as the getting started tools. Additional toolbars can be displayed by selecting the toolbars under the View > Toolbars menu item.Drawing Area
The drawing area is where you create your model. The 3D space of the drawing area is identified visually by the drawing axes. The drawing axes are three colored lines, perpendicular to each other. These axes are helpful in providing a sense of direction in 3D space while you work.
The drawing area also contains a simple model of a person to give you a sense of 3D space.Status Bar
The status bar is the long gray rectangular area at the bottom of the drawing area.
The left side of the status bar contains buttons to geo-locate, claim credit, and sign in, respectively. The middle area contains a button to show the instructor and displays tips for the currently used drawing tools, including special functions accessible using keyboard shortcuts. Watch the status bar to discover advanced capabilities of each of the SketchUp tools.
The Measurements Toolbar, located on the right side of the status bar, displays dimensional information while you draw. You can also enter values into the Measurements Toolbar to manipulate currently selected entities, such as creating a line of a specific length.
To the right of the Measurements Toolbar is the window resize handle which is used to change the size of the application window and drawing area. You can also make the window larger so you can see the entire message in the status bar.

A Watertown man faces jail time and probation after admitting Wednesday in Jefferson County Court that he tried to send obscene material to a 13-year-old girl.
Travis J. Berger, 29, whose last known address was 711 Griffin St., pleaded guilty to attempted dissemination of indecent materials to a minor, admitting that on June 5 he tried to send the materials to a child with whom he had communicated online.
He is expected to be sentenced Dec. 4 to six months in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and 10 years probation. He also will be ordered to register with the state as a sex offender.
In other court activity:
Anthony J. Holmes, 34, Watertown, pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal contempt. He entered his plea using an Alford plea, meaning he did not admit to the facts underlying the case, but did not want to risk taking the matter to trial and being found guilty of a felony.
Assistant District Attorney Walter M. Jeram Jr. told Judge Kim H. Martusewicz that, had the matter proceeded to trial, prosecutors would have put forth evidence that Mr. Holmes violated a Family Court order of protection held by Pearl A. Hunt by subjecting her to unwanted physical contact March 2 in Watertown. Mr. Holmes subsequently was sentenced to seven months time served at the PSB.
Robert C. Copestick II, 46, Watertown, was arraigned on a bench warrant alleging that he violated his Drug Court contract by absconding from the programs supervision and a sealed grand jury indictment containing a count of second-degree bail jumping. Mr. Copestick was referred to Drug Court in April 2010 following a guilty plea to felony driving while intoxicated. It is alleged in the indictment that he failed to show up for a mandated Drug Court appearance March 17, 2011, or at any point thereafter.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge contained in the indictment and entered a denial of the Drug Court violation. He was ordered held at the PSB without bail on the alleged violation, while bail was set at $20,000 on the bail-jumping charge, although Judge Martusewicz said the bail amount was likely moot given the lack of bail on the violation.
