Educators who hold permanent certificates and permanent non-tax certificates are required by state law to update their FBI criminal background checks every five years through the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). In addition, an updated BCI background check also is required if the certificate holder has lived outside Ohio within the past five years. Because this law was put into place five years ago, educators holding these certificates need to update the background checks when they expire this year, if they have not already done so. Educators may view the dates of their previous background checks through the Educator Profile on the department's website at education.ohio.gov.
As permitted in law, on July 1, 2014, the Ohio Department of Education will begin inactivating permanent certificates of individuals whose background checks have expired and were not updated. As a result, these educators will not be permitted to work in Ohio schools until they successfully update their background checks. It is the responsibility of permanent certificate holders and their employing school or district to ensure that criminal background checks are kept current and that educators are not working with expired background checks.
The department requests that certificate holders complete their background checks through WebCheck, which allows fingerprints to be sent immediately to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for the fastest possible processing. A list of WebCheck locations is posted on the Ohio Attorney General's website. When completing this process, be sure the WebCheck operator sends results to the Ohio Department of Education. Questions may be directed to email@example.com or at (614) 466-3693 or (877) 644-6338 (toll-free).
Permanent certificates, which are no longer issued, were available for qualifying teachers, administrators and pupil personnel years ago before the current educator licensure system was put into place. Educators with licenses from the current system also must update their background checks every five years.

42 U.S. Code § 5556 - Solar energy demonstration facilities program
(a) Authorization for design and construction of facilities; objectives
The Chairman is authorized to initiate a program to design and construct, in specific solar energy technologies (including, but not limited to, those listed in section 5555 (c) of this title, [1] facilities or powerplants of sufficient size to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of utilizing the various forms of solar energy. The specific goals of such programs shall include—
(1) production of electricity from a number of powerplants, on the order of one to ten megawatts each;
(5) design and development of hybrid systems involving the concomitant utilization of solar and other energy sources; and
(b) Criteria for determination to proceed from development program to demonstration
For each of the technologies for which a successful and appropriate development program is completed, the Chairman shall make a determination to proceed to demonstration based on criteria including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
(c) Establishment of one or more projects utilizing each form of solar energy
In carrying out his responsibilities under this section, the Chairman, acting through the appropriate Federal agencies, may provide for the establishment of one or more demonstration projects utilizing each form of solar energy, which shall include, as appropriate, the specific research, development, pilot plant construction and operation, demonstration plant construction and operation, and other facilities and activities which may be necessary to show commercial viability of the specific solar technology.
(d) Investigation and agreements for cooperative development of demonstration facilities
The Chairman, acting through the appropriate Federal agencies, is authorized to investigate and enter into agreements for the cooperative development of facilities to demonstrate solar technologies. The responsible Federal agency may consider—
(1) cooperative agreements with non-Federal entities for construction of facilities and equipment to demonstrate solar energy technologies; and
(e) Construction and operation of demonstration projects without cooperative agreements
The Chairman, acting through appropriate Federal agencies is authorized to construct and operate demonstration projects without entering into cooperative agreements with respect to such projects, if the Chairman finds that—
(1) the nature of the resource, the geographical location, the scale and engineering design of the facilities, the techniques of production, or any other significant factor of the specific demonstration project offers opportunities to make important contributions to the general knowledge of solar resources, the techniques of its development, or public confidence in the technology; and
(2) there is no opportunity for cooperative agreements with any non-Federal entity willing and able to cooperate in the demonstration project under subsection (d)(1) of this section, and there is no opportunity for cooperative agreements with other Federal agencies under subsection (d)(2) of this section.
(f) Additional appropriations for projects exceeding maximum amount
If the estimate of the Federal investment with respect to construction and operation costs of any demonstration project proposed to be established under this section exceeds $20,000,000, no amount may be appropriated for such project except as specifically authorized by legislation hereafter enacted by the Congress.
(g) Disposition of Federal property interests, electricity, synthetic fuels, and other byproducts upon completion of project
(1) At the conclusion of any demonstration project established under this section, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, the responsible Federal agencies shall, by sale, lease, or otherwise, dispose of all Federal property interests which they have acquired pursuant to this section in accordance with existing law and the terms of the cooperative agreements involved.
[1] So in original. Probably should be preceded by a closing parenthesis.

Submission Linux Supercomputing Dominance: A Look Under the H->
jrepin writes: "A few weeks ago, the top500 Supercomputer list came out, as it does each November. As expected, Linux is still the most used OS for supercomputing, as it has been since taking the list by storm in the early 2000s. While this is certainly a feel-good thing to write about (who doesn't love being #1?) it's worth taking some time to think about how this happened, and why. Linux's rise to dominance at the forefront of modern science was no accident."

"For this debut collection, we started with 25 retailers," explains Jonathan Hirschfeld, one half of the founding directors. "For Spring '14, we have 60 on board." The aesthetic works well in various retail environments. "In Stockholm, we're stocked in a high-end boutique and just nearby is a skater store that also has the range. "There's no conflict," he says with understated satisfaction. You'll find them stocked in several other premium-level international retailers, too. LN-CC, Très-Bien, Opening Ceremony and I.T. in the Far East are just some.
Business partner, Max Schiller has eight years of experience behind him having worked with Acne from their earliest days. When pushed to elaborate, he reveals, "I started on the shop floor, then opened up the Paris office handling sales and press. At one point, I was designing the menswear," he modestly recalls. But they are keen not to rely on any existing industry relations previously forged with Acne.
For both, the decision to start on their own was clear. "We grew up with Vans, and couldn't afford €300 sneakers. There was a gap in the market." Factor in their online mission statement – that they are motivated by street culture, physical product and online inspiration, as evidenced by their Tumblr – and there is a hint this is just the beginnings of a label to watch out for.
"Our design philosophy goes like this," explains Schiller. "Portion – Function – No Logo. The product should be constant, so the creative side is with packaging the sneakers in different ways."
Eytys has taken this idea beyond the stockroom and onto the shop floor. To introduce the sneakers to their customers, London's Dover Street Market recently invited them to create an installation space, in which they collaborated with Swedish interior designer, Sara Wetterqvist, to display a series of marbled prints onto suspended plexiglass, mirrors and wooden panels. On December 13, they will recreate this in DSM Ginza for the holiday season.
Spring next year sees Eytys introducing Memphis-inspired prints into the collection and working with British artist, Rhys Coren. Coren has produced a series of animations based on the English football kit from earlier decades. Eytys has adapted these into patterns and Coren reciprocated by animating one of their prints. We will see the results in the physical products, the packaging and any future installations next season. As for the name…it's left deliberately open-ended, although Hirschfeld and Schiller's Gen-Y adolescence in the '80s decade lends an easy clue.

|New Meth Charges Filed Against 2012 Suspect
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 18 July 2013 13:54
This past Monday, narcotics detectives from the Watauga County Sheriff's Office arrested Johnny Calvin Hicks, 24, in a vehicle stop near the intersection of US Hwy 421 and Landfill Road. Hicks' arrest came about in part to recently activated and narcotics trained K9 Deputy "Moses,"
who along with his handler and other WCSO Patrol Deputies, were instrumental in the apprehension of Mr. Hicks. During the search, methamphetamine, a meth smoking pipe, spoons with meth residue, and syringes were found. Hicks was charged with Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Hicks is currently awaiting trial on previous charges of Manufacture Methamphetamine, 2 counts of Trafficking in Methamphetamine, Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine, Possession of Meth Precursors, as well as Maintaining a Dwelling. These offenses stem from a search warrant that was executed by detectives on January 5, 2012. Hicks was on bail for these charges, and due to the fact that Hicks was, again, arrested for methamphetamine prior to his court date, the presiding Judge placed Hicks under a $250,000 secured bond, which reflects his previous charges as well as the current charges stemming from the traffic stop. Hicks is currently being held at the Watauga County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility and is scheduled to appear in District Court on August 20, 2013.

|ASU Faculty; "No Confidence" in Close Vote
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 27 March 2013 06:09
In a secret paper ballot, the ASU faculty senate returned a "no confidence" vote Monday, no confidence in the leadership of Provost Lori Gonzalez and Vice Provost Tony Carey. But the vote was close; The Appalachian reported that the senate voted against Gonzalez 22 to 21 and Carey by a wider margin
of 26 to 17. The petition that led to the vote cited "a pattern of disregard for academic freedom" as well as "the due process rights of faculty members have been ignored by these same administrators." Part of the issue seems to come from the dismissal of tenured professor Jammie Price, whose suspension for showing a sexually explicit movie in her class drew press attention and faculty support from a number of universities. Her case has one more appeal still pending before the Board of Trustees. She filed her appeal on December 22 and is awaiting a decision, with the appeal being reviewed by a special committee headed by Trustee H. Martin Lancaster. The faculty senate petition said that Gonzalez and Carey have denied faculty governance and have been "non responsive to and dismissive of questions and concerns of faculty members." The motions were brought about by a petition signed by 88 tenured faculty members, received by the Faculty Senate Executive Board March 4, according to the agenda summary of the March 25 Faculty Senate meeting.

Everest (1998)
This is the story of the 1996 Everest Film Expedition, a MacGillivray Freeman production in association with Arcturus Motion Pictures. Filmed in IMAX® photography, "Everest" is the dramatic true story of a team of climbers who found hope, strength and triumph in the wake of tragedy. Their successful ascent of Mount Everest, just days after fellow mountaineers and friends died there, is a compelling story about the human spirit and a mountain they love, respect and sometimes fear.

Dartmouth Peak Performance introduced Steven Spaulding in the newly created role of Assistant AD for Leadership in the summer of 2012. Spaulding is responsible for the development and oversight of a four-year leadership model for Dartmouth student-athletes.
Spaulding is a 1995 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. While in the Army, Spaulding served as an Airborne Ranger and also served in Iraq. "DP2's new leadership curriculum will focus on development of future leadership imparting current leaders with the skills to make decisions under pressure, which is what great leaders do," said Spaulding.
"Dartmouth Peak Performance is committed to help our athletes become better leaders," stated Drew Galbraith, Senior Associate AD for Peak Performance. "Through both a didactic and experiential leadership curriculum, we hope to provide Dartmouth student-athletes with the necessary tools for success on and off the fields of play."

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Maine voters will get to decide on a package of bonds in November, which supporters say will create jobs, rebuild roads and make big improvements to the state's colleges and universities.
Lawmakers met Thursday in a special session to vote on the $149.5 million bond package. Governor Paul LePage has said he will also approve it. It would borrow $100 million for transportation projects, more than $35 million for higher education projects and $14 million to repair National Guard armories.
Leaders of both parties praised the plan today, saying it will create jobs, make big improvements in highways and bridges and expand science lab and other critical teaching facilities at the University campuses, Maine Maritime Academy and Maine Community Colleges.
Legislators also passed a last-minute bill to deal with some of the problems at the Riverview Psychiatric Hospital. The details of that proposal were worked out by the Appropriations Committee, and then sent to the House and Senate for votes.
Riverview is facing a possible loss of millions of dollars in federal funding if a plan for operational changes isn't approved by federal regulators next week. Supporters of the bill passed today say it doesn't address all the issues, but hope it will show federal officials the state is serious about complying with their order.
A federal investigation of Riverview in the spring found many problems, the most serious of which dealt with the use of tasers and handcuffs by police to sometimes control aggressive patients. The bill passed today will allow some of those patients, who have been committed to Riverview by the courts, to be moved to a special mental health unit at the Maine State Prison.
Opponents argued the plan does not address the actual problems, and is the wrong approach to care for the mentally ill.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Even though the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy is hundreds of miles away, Mainers have been stepping in to lend a hand.
A team of seven rangers from the Maine Forest Service just returned from a two week mission to New York where they were helping survivors of the storm get aid. They were joined by two members of the Washington County Sheriff Department.
Forest ranger Kent Nelson says the team set up a mobile command unit in Brooklyn. They were there to help the New York National Guard coordinate aid to people on the Rockaway Peninsula--one of the areas hardest hit by Sandy.
Nelson says responders checked on residents in about 200 high rise buildings over a five day period.
"We were glad to learn from the experience," he said, "and if we ever have a disaster like that in Maine, we have our experience and we also made a lot of friends down there in New York...I'm sure they would come here without any hesitation to help us out."
For their efforts the rangers were awarded a special coin from New York City's Office of Emergency Management.

The Hospice Foundation of Jefferson County Inc. has found a potential buyer for the former Washington Street offices of Hospice of Jefferson County.
The foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides financial support to Hospice, filed a state Supreme Court petition Tuesday at the county clerks office asking for approval to sell the property at 425 Washington St. to N&G Rentals LLC, Watertown, for $150,000.
Under state law, any sale of property held by a nonprofit organization has to be approved by the court.
The two-story, 5,500-square-foot brick building with a storage barn in the rear is no longer needed by Hospice since the construction of its eight-bed residence, including office space, at 1398 Gotham St. The foundation has been trying to sell the property, which has an assessed value of $335,400, for about two years, with no takers.
According to court documents, the propertys assessed value did not mirror its market value. Anthony G. Netto, a certified residential appraiser and chief appraiser with Upstate Appraisal Associates, Watertown, provided a letter to the foundation stating the propertys fair market value is substantially less than its tax assessment, as well as the price for which it was initially offered for sale, about $300,000.
Mr. Netto, citing the need for upgrades and other improvements in order to make the building functional office space, set the full market value at $150,000, stating in his letter that it likely would take another $150,000 to complete the renovations.
Proceeds of the sale will go toward construction costs of the Gotham Street facility. Hospice also will benefit from the sale by not having to pay maintenance and upkeep on the more than 100-year-old building. Neither Hospice Chief Executive Officer Diana K. Woodhouse nor Edward P. Lashomb, president of the foundations board of directors, was available for comment Thursday.
According to county records, N&G Rentals managing member is Watertown accountant Jerry R. Gardner, who could not be reached for comment Thursday regarding possible plans for the property.

Situated in the fifth (cinquième) arrondissement of Paris, Rue Mouffetard is one of Paris's oldest and liveliest neighbourhoods. These days the area has many restaurants, shops, and cafés, and a regular open market.
So says Wikipedia...
I have walked a ton down Rue Montorgueil on the other hand, but then it's loaded with pastry and gelato shops...Hmmm
Look! A Paris line.
Rue Cler is another street I've somehow missed up on.
But I'll be 2 minutes away from it in a couple of weeks so I'll comb every inch of it for you...
Anne took me here in the Marais and promises to guide me down Avenue Montaigne - the poshes of Parisian streets.
Are there any pastry shops on it though?
Do you have a favorite street I should explore?
Tell all!
I'm whipping myself into shape for those stairs..

UV Physical SPF 41
This tinted sunscreen contains the mineral actives titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for gentle, broad-spectrum sun protection
UV Clear SPF 46
This is a very good, surprisingly light, fragrance-free daytime moisturizer with sunscreen.
Add to Faves?
EltaMD At-a-Glance
Strengths: Most products are fragrance-free; all sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection with zinc oxide; cosmetically elegant sunscreens that are easy to apply and do not leave a telltale white cast; good eye gel.
Weaknesses: Some of the sunscreens are pricey, which may discourage the liberal application necessary to achieve the level of sun protection stated on the label; all of the sunscreens would be better if they contained a greater range of antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients; the post-procedure products and body lotion are stunningly basic and would not be a "best" option for post-wound care.
Texas-based EltaMD is a small line of skin-care products that specializes in sunscreens. If you're like most of the women who've asked us to review this line, you most likely came across it at your dermatologist's office. EltaMD is a "physician-dispensed" line, but despite that professional allure, their products are not "medical" in the least. In fact, they are widely available for purchase online, and nothing about their skin-care formulas requires a prescription or your doctor's sanction. In fact, we're fairly certain many doctors wouldn't know how to decipher the ingredient list on the label of these products
Without question, EltaMD takes the necessity of daily sun protection seriously. They offer several sunscreens and moisturizers with sunscreen, each providing broad-spectrum protection from either zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. In short, this line gets its sunscreens right, and the fact that all of them are fragrance-free is an added bonus for your skin.
Perhaps most exciting is that almost all of EltaMD's sunscreens with zinc oxide (often joined by the synthetic sunscreen active octinoxate) apply beautifully and do not leave a noticeable white cast, despite their mineral base.
Of course, EltaMD isn't the only company to offer a good selection of sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection. Nor are they the only game in town when it comes to using micronized zinc oxide; lots of other companies, including SkinCeuticals, Peter Thomas Roth, and Paula's Choice, use it because it's effective and aesthetically pleasing. However, EltaMD's formulas are quite good and compete favorably with others, especially for women with normal to dry or combination skin that's not prone to breakouts.
Where EltaMD's sunscreens could improve is by providing a greater array of antioxidants. Some of their sunscreens contain none, while most have only one, typically vitamin E. That's not bad, but given the research proving how antioxidants boost the efficacy of sunscreens and offer additional protection for your skin, it's good medicine to include several antioxidants in effective amounts rather than just one.
EltaMD also offers a small range of facial-care products, most of which are fragrance-free, although if they are from a "physican's" line, as this one is, they should all be fragrance-free because fragrance is not skin care and is almost always damaging to skin. The facial-care products are decent options, but for the most part they are ordinary and not preferred over hundreds of others. Sun protection is where it's at for this brand.

My grandson lives with us and I was shocked when I started looking at the school menu's for our kids! It's terrible...no wonder there are so many overweight children...look what the schools are feeding them!
My grandson's school menu consists of Pizza, Hamburgers, Hot dogs, Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, AND this is all basically pre-made stuff...or ordered in!
I know my generation things were different but sometimes that is a better way. Why when I went to school we had hot lunches that were actually cooked from scratch at school. They served us things like roast beef and potatoes and carrots, fried chicken and baked french fries, or turkey and dressing with all the trimmings, baked ham and baked beans, speghetti and garlic bread, ....the same sort of things normal people ate and cooked then. When we ate lunch we were full...we didn't have to run to the pantry or fridge as soon as we got home from school for snack, because we were so famished! Our lunch did us until supper time.
When and why did the school systems decide that good healthy meals were no longer the way to go?

(3) arrest without warrant for any other offense described in title 18 or 21 of the United States Code, if committed on the premises or reservation of a penal or correctional facility of the Bureau of Prisons if necessary to safeguard security, good order, or government property;

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 753k (June 29, 1940, ch. 449, § 5,54 Stat. 693).
Section was broadened to include authority to make arrests for mutiny, riot or traffic in dangerous instrumentalities, by reference to section 1792 of this title.
Minor changes were made in phraseology and provision for taking arrested person before magistrate was omitted as covered by rule 5(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
1986—Pub. L. 99–646amended first sentence generally and substituted "such prisoner" for "he" in second sentence. Prior to amendment, first sentence read as follows: "An officer or employee of the Bureau of Prisons of the Department of Justice may make arrests without warrant for violations of any of the provisions of sections 751, 752, 1791, or 1792 of this title, if he has reasonable grounds to believe that the arrested person is guilty of such offense, and if there is likelihood of his escaping before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest."

Functions of all other officers of Department of Justice and functions of all agencies and employees of such Department, with a few exceptions, transferred to Attorney General, with power vested in him to authorize their performance or performance of any of his functions by any of such officers, agencies, and employees, by Reorg. Plan No. 2 of 1950, §§ 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3173, 64 Stat. 1261, set out in the Appendix to Title 5, Government Organization and Employees.

Nice tip
Nano is very easy to learn, and very usable indeed. Problem is that since I use vim I'm kinda crippled with these kind of text editors - I press Esc very often with no use and j's, k's, l's and h's appear everywhere in my files
I think the best is just to get used to one thing which is good for you - if you do a lot of developing/web design learning vim or emacs is really worth the time. (For vim use "vimtutor" to learn)
If you only edit configuration files now and then, nano is definitely the way to go.

POTSDAM Mary E. Rain, Republican candidate for St. Lawrence County district attorney, launched what she called her accountability tour Thursday evening with a bang.
Speaking in front of a half-dozen supporters with campaign signs outside the Potsdam Civic Center, Ms. Rain contended that District Attorney Nicole M. Duve has made hundreds of mistakes during her eight years as the countys lead prosecutor. The challenger displayed a book she said was filled with cases that had been dismissed. If youve had enough, vote Rain, she said.
Ms. Duve has let go so many felony offenders that it affects justice here in St. Lawrence County, and its one of the big reasons that Im running, Ms. Rain said.
We had a case here in Potsdam where a young lady was raped. The criminal was charged with rape in the first degree; its a B violent felony, she said. That person could have faced up to 25 years in state prison. It was plea-bargained down to a misdemeanor, a misdemeanor where the man got a $250 fine. Theres something wrong with that picture.
Ms. Rain also spoke of a rape case in which the victim was 14 years old, and Ms. Duve filed a motion to concur with the defenses motion seeking to dismiss the charges. She said the incumbent claimed police had not given her the paperwork, while police had proof of providing the paperwork.
The news conference marked Ms. Rains second full-fledged assault on the incumbents record in the past two weeks. Last week she accused Ms. Duve of incompetence, ineffectiveness and disorganization, which, she maintained, has allowed violent felony offenders to walk the streets.
Ms. Rain said last week that she wants to fast-track felonies, upgrade technology to improve results and improve interagency cooperation. She said she would ensure timely prosecutions by seeking the earliest possible court proceeding for all felony crimes, which she called the biggest problem of Ms. Duves administration.
Ms. Rains news conference Thursday night drew the attention of Stephen M. Whelley, the father of Donald J.W. Whelley, the 21-year-old Clarkson University sophomore lacrosse player who was attacked in the early morning hours of Aug. 24.
My biggest concern is that as this thing moves forward, my case in particular, I just noticed the lack of resources and not that its been a lack of activity, but resources, which is a common theme in a lot of counties, that hampers the position, Mr. Whelley said.
He stressed that his attendance at the event was not an endorsement. Im more concerned, as you are, to discourage violence, he said to Ms. Rain, and I want to hear what you have to say about it. Again, Im not voting one way or the other, but I have a great deal of respect for the position you seek.
Ms. Rain has said she has three decades of experience as a police officer, prosecutor and defense attorney. She also served briefly as St. Lawrence Countys chief public defender four years ago.
In response to her criticism, Ms. Duve said that her opponent was making broad accusations without having facts. Hundreds of times sounds very exaggerated. Without specifics, her words are meaningless.
Ms. Rain said she plans to visit every part of the county during her tour to highlight the injustices that have occurred.
Asked about the proposition of a debate, Ms. Rain said she would love to, while Ms. Duve said she would have no problem with it.
Voting for the district attorney position will take place Nov. 5.

Orange Bowl, Possibly Japanese, Need help identifying Please :-)
I found a bowl recently and have not been able to find anything that looks like it anywhere. It is orange with a kind of flower petal effect on the rim. There are also sort of grooves on the outside. The overall effect is kind of like a flower. There is a triple stripe painted on the outside which is black, yellow, and then black again. The inside shows a courtesan or lady and a man in robes with a tree and small table.
Overall it is very interesting although I am wondering if it is western made since the signature is a single character. I believe japanese pieces often have the same simple signature. Sadly there are two chips on the rim, one of which has been repaired.
Does anyone have any insight into this bowl or perhaps you could point me in the right direction? Again I have done extensive Google searching including many pages of images with no success.

Great photos.
The bottom looks like it could be 心 in cursive but the top part is difficult to figure out. If you put that character into a search engine and then look at images it will show some cursive examples. The problem is to figure out what the top is.
The piece itself looks like it is a production piece made to look like Satsuma. It could be either Japanese or Chinese, I lean toward Chinese.
If it has chips it probably is worth very little, less than 10$ or so, in my opinion.

The Crackle graze is a Japanese technique called "Raku", the dark color in the cracks is a result of a second firing with combustible materials, the smoke filling the cracks. Most pieces like this are what's called "Studio pottery", meaning they are the product of a small, sometimes private pottery. Quite often the markers marks are unknown, with such pieces generally selling for less than $100.00

Deslandes Blue Wave Tae Kwon Do Academy is pleased to announce that James Miller received the rank of First Degree Black Belt on June 3, along with two students of another Blue Wave academy. They had a long day full of displaying 10 different memorized patterns, basic techniques, self-defense and board breaking.
Blue Wave Tae Kwon Do International has schools in Newport, Montpelier and Coaticook/Lennoxville, Canada.
On a beautiful sunshiny baseball Sunday afternoon in Littleton, NH, the Orleans County 12-U Thunder baseball team started their season with a convincing 15-3 victory over the Littleton NH 12-U All-Star team.
There were a lot of stars in this game with Parker Brown, T.J. Santaw, Hunter Marsh, Liam Kennedy and Derrick Breault on the mound.
The quintet gave up a mere 3 runs on 5 hits. There were a lot of great defensive plays in the game along with a lot of offense.
Along with the strong pitching and solid defense, several members of the Thunder had a productive day at the plate.
This past school year a North Country Junior High Girls Golf Club was created. Starting with an organizational meeting in November that was coordinated by John Gunn, physical education teacher at NCUJH, and Brian Hampton, the head varsity girls' golf coach of North Country Union High School.
The duo discussed the program with a number of girls interested in starting the club. In the spring three girls, 7th graders Katie Goulet, Dehlia Wright, and Dasha Plotnikov, followed up on the initial meeting by joining the program.
The 14-U O.E.C. Lightning, one of the several local traveling baseball teams in the area, opened their season Thursday night in Coaticook, QC defeating a very good Coaticook big bill 15-U team 6-5.
Yes, they played a team that is made up of players who are at least a year older, but it did not matter as the Lightning dropped Coaticook's record from 8-0 to 8-1.
A lot of fresh faces as well returning veterans from last year came together and played a solid game for the Lighting, with timely hitting, good pitching and great defense.
The North Country Union High School Girls Golf team wrapped up their season with a very respectable fourth place finish at the Division I State Finals at the Proctor Pittsford Country Club on Tuesday.
The best two out of three scores are tallied for each team in the tournament. The NCU team was represented by seniors Bailey Walker and Eilish Muir, and sophomore Paige Gagnon.
ON THE ROADS OF VERMONT–When I called Matt Morin to ask him how he is doing and what he is doing in order to get ready for today's VPA High School State Championships in Middlebury, I caught him, along with his coach Sylvain Gagnon and teammate Carl Oberg traveling the cell phone service challenged roads of the Green Mountain State.
After several episodes of "Hello... Hello.. can you hear me?," I was finally able to talk to both Matt and his coach about today's tournament.
BURLINGTON–The conditions at the Vermont State Division I Track Field Championships were anything but ideal, but that did not stop the North Country Falcons from achieving success at the meet.
The boys team brought home two first place finishes at the event, the first one coming from Jason Webster, whose 134 foot throw in the discus propelled him six feet past Brattleboro's Andy Hale for his second consecutive state title.
"Of course I am ecstatic to come back and defend my title. It was one of those things that I worried about all season, but coach told me to relax and do what you do.
NEWPORT–Coming into the opening round of the play-offs, the North Country boys tennis team was ranked fourth overall in Division I.
Their opponent, Champlain Valley was slated as the thirteenth seed.
How very misleading these numbers turned out to be.
The Falcons came out, gave everything they had, but still ended up on the losing end of things, falling 6-1 to bow out of the opening round of the play-offs.
LYNDON– It didn't take long for Lyndon Institute to set the tone.
After roping an inside-the-park home run in the game's first at bat, No. 3 Lyndon Institute cruised to a 15-4 victory over 14th-seeded Lake Region in high school girls softball Division II playdowns Wednesday afternoon.
The Vikings' (14-3) early dominance earned them a 9-0 lead after the first two innings, a comfortable margin for a veteran club looking to return to the state championship game after falling in that contest a year ago.
JERICHO–After performing well in her final two regular season starts, coach Leslie Dunn opted to go with Taylor Blake out of the shute for the Falcons opening round game against Mount Mansfield.
"She was great against Essex and MVU, so I figured we might as well go with her as she performs much better as a starter than as a reliever," said Dunn.
Blake gave it her all, but MMU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, so the coach brought in the ever-reliable Kayla Descheneau mid-way through the second to finish out the contest.

WHAT IS PetTrace? PetTrace is a national computerised pet recovery network which facilitates the return of lost or stolen animals through the use of a small microchip or tag. It is a permanent and invisible way of identifying your pet.
PetTrace is in association with Allianz Direct Pet Insurance
HOW DOES IT WORK? All your pet's microchip details and your contact details will be added to the PetTrace database. If your pet goes missing and is brought to the DSPCA, a Vet's, Gardai, another animal shelter or Dog pound they will always scan to see if the animal has been microchipped. If a microchip is found they will search for your contact information so that your pet can be returned to you.
When you register your pet on the PetTrace database you will also get a collar tag, which your pet should wear. This tag displays a PIN number along with a phone number to call if the animal is found. The PIN number can also be used to gain the pet owners details from and eliminates the need for the pet to be scanned for the microchip.
We will also take a secondary contact so if you are on holidays and cannot be contact the secondary person will be contacted so you don't have to worry about being out of reach!
WHAT IS A MICROCHIP? An insulated computer chip, as small as a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin of your pet. It is a safe, painless and quick process. Each chip has a unique number which can be read by a small scanner. Microchipping is suitable for all animals and is compulsary under the Control of Horses Act, Guard Dog legislation and for animals being exported to certain countries. Find out more about Microchipping.
The DSPCA offers a microchipping service to the public in our shelter from Monday to Friday by appointment at a low cost rate.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
Representatives from Sunnyside came prepared to Monday's transportation/recreation special service district meeting to answer any questions about a concession stand the city wants to build at the Little League field.
Special district boardmembers initially reviewed the application for the structure at the Jan. 7 meeting. However, at that time the city's written request for approximately $73,000 raised more questions than it answered and the Sunnyside representatives were asked to gather more information and return at a later date.
"We have a lot of questions," Boardmember Sam Quigley said at the Jan. 7 meeting.
The loose ends included support letters from both East Carbon and Sunnyside's councils to show that the project had full community support and concrete bids from contractors for the structure.
Monday, Sunnyside Councilman Mike Marquez and City Recorder Polly Sanderson, handed over a packet to the board that contained all the documents requested at the January meeting. Kara P. Maynes, president of Sunnyside Little League and East Carbon Mayor Orlando LaFontaine submitted letters of support which were included with a set of drawings and a two quotes from local contractors for construction of the building.
With the information in hand, district boardmembers engaged in a thorough discussion of the project with Sanderson and Marquez.
The Sunnyside councilman told the board members that the city is looking to replace the deteriorated two-story structure currently at the field with a one-story building like the one at Price's field. Marquez said that the drawings in the board packet were actually based on the Price facility.
Boardmember Bill Krompel said he was pleased that the one field would serve both communities and was fully supported by both city councils.
In the application, Sunnyside states that there are between 40 and 50 children ages 8 to 12 who play on the field.
Boardmember Neil Breinholt noted that must mean that about 100 percent of both cities' kids are participating in the activity.
Sanderson nodded in agreement saying that it is a really big deal in the area and has a lot of support.
Maynes' letter further affirmed the significance of the field and the sport to East Carbon and Sunnyside.
"Our Little League games are also a community gathering of sorts for the people in this area," Maynes said in the letter of support.
She added, "Improvements to our field would also help to encourage teams from the surrounding areas to come to our field to attend all-star and tournament games."
Despite Sanderson's and Marquez's efforts to fill in all the gaps, the board came up with a couple of more issues that needed tending. The duo was asked to provide firm masonry bids from bonded companies and for electrical and plumbing schematics.
With those requests made the boardmembers expressed support for funding the project.
"I don't know how everybody else feels but I think it's a good project," said Krompel.
He wasn't alone in his opinion.
Quigley suggested dedicating $80,000 to the building as long as the board was satisfied it would be a properly constructed structure built to last and that it would be fully functional by this summer.
The final decision on the Little League concession stand was continued until the next service district meeting for two reasons - one the actual item was erroneously left off of Monday's agenda and two the board wants to review the additional information they had requested.

Recap: Day 2 from the MLB Winter Meetings
In case you missed it, from earlier today:
The Mets officially announced that they've reached a deal with David Wright that runs through 2020. The team will hold a press conference tomorrow at 12 pm ET with Wright, Jeff Wilpon and Sandy Alderson in Nashville, which will air live on SNY.
In regards to hot stove rumors, the Mets are contemplating signing free-agent Mark Reynolds to play the outfield (Davidoff, NYP).
Sandy Alderson said he met with Scott Hairston's agent today.
The Mets are looking for a veteran left-handed reliever, and they've inquired about LHP Manny Parra (Sherman, NYP)
The Mets have shown interest in free-agent LHP John Lannan (Sherman, NYP).
The Mets are open to offering free-agent OF Ryan Ludwick a two-year deal, worth between $6-7 million per year (Davidoff, NYP).
The Mets are interested in Indians RHP Vinnie Pestano (Rubin, ESPNNY).
"We've really had virtually no discussions with anyone about Jonathan Niese," Sandy Alderson told reporters today in Nashville. Yesterday, Alderson said the Mets had talked to teams about Niese, but he was talked about less than R.A. Dickey.
Bobby Parnell is virtually untouchable this winter (Rubin, ESPNNY).
It is highly unlikely the Mets bring back free-agent C Kelly Shoppach, nor are they interested in free-agent C Jesus Flores (Rubin, ESPNNY).
The Mets also are not impressed with Red Sox C Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Also, Royals manager Ned Yost told MLB Network Radio that his team is willing to deal Wil Myers if it brought them a starting pitcher who can "put them over the top."
The Blue Jays now have four catchers on their 40-man roster, including J.P. Arencibia and Travis d'Arnaud.
The Red Sox and free-agent OF Shane Victorino agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract, and the Nationals and Dan Haren agreed to one-year, $13 million deal, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

The state's voters put the Colorado constitution in violation of federal statutes which make marijuana a controlled substance.
It's unclear how the U.S. justice department will respond.
Several members of Colorado's congressional delegation are waiting to hear U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder's reaction before taking stances on potential alterations to federal law.
Rep. Diana DeGette (D) has already started legislation which would allow states to be exempted from federal laws against pot. Rep. Mike Coffman (R) told the Denver Post that he supports DeGette's bill despite his opposition to legalizing marijuana.
A similar bill was being crafted by Reps. Ed Perlmutter (D) and Jared Polis (D) to give Colorado an exception to federal laws on pot. Polis is a co-sponsor of DeGette's bill.
We got "wait and see" responses from Sens. Michael Bennet (D) and Mark Udall (D), who want to withhold their stances on changing federal law until after the justice department announces its intentions.
Rep. Scott Tipton (R) also wants to wait until he weighs in.
The only member of Colorado's delegation to say he opposes any change to federal law in response to Amendment 64 was Rep. Cory Gardner (R).
Rep. Doug Lamborn's (R) office did not return repeated requests for comment.

PRACTICE: TUESDAY, NVMC12:50 pm – Marti out 4-6 weeks; no DP, no Gordon
12:50 pm – The morning after, the Islanders took the ice at the Coliseum missing the following people:
Rick DiPietro – Did not practice today and Yann Danis is not here. We're told DiPietro is expected to practice Wednesday at Iceworks.
Since Rick has been on the ice for a total of about 60 minutes since last Thursday, wouldn't think he'll be starting Thursday. But you never know. Maybe he'll be the healthy backup again.
Scott Gordon – According to a team official, the coach is out today "for personal reasons." We hope everything is okay with Scott and will always respect his privacy.
Radek Martinek – The Islanders announced after practice that Martinek is out 4-6 weeks with an "upper-body injury."
Blake Comeau – He's not returning to the Islanders' lineup after yesterday's 7-1 loss. Comeau has been sent to Bridgeport (AHL).
Brendan Witt – Practiced today, showing balls when a veteran of his stature could have taken a day off after bleeding from the head less than 24 hours earlier. Said Witt: "Brendan Witt 1, the Nassau Coliseum ice 0."
Chris Campoli – Skated with the team today, but could not talk about it.
Citing team policy, Islanders assistant coaches were not made available to the media.

Here's a pretty great idea – US Cellular is helping its customers save money on their mobile bills. They have a new app that get their customer's mobile devices off the network wherever possible, saving customers data usage as well as reducing traffic on the US Cellular 3G and 4G networks. US Cellular calls the program "Wi-Fi Now".
Tapping into the system requires downloading the Wi-Fi Now app available for free in the Google Play Store.
Basically, the app runs in the background watching for "partner" Wi-Fi hotspots. Once it locates one it automatically connects your device and stops your data usage - saving you money on your bill. There's no additional action required on your part to make the connection and no sign-in required. This applies to your home network as well as hotspots on the road.
US Cellular says that not just any network will qualify for the bounce. They have designed the app with at least some security in mind. Here's how it's described in the Google Play Store listing: "Wi-Fi hotspots are tested for functionality and quality service."
This app is only available only to US Cellular customers.

Sony Ericsson announced today that their highly popular Unlocked Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 phone would no longer be receiving anymore updates to the Android operating system from here on out. This announcement was met by wrath for many XPERIA X10 users who have already made it clear that they have had a problem with the slow upgrading process that has been seen through many of their releases so far.
You would think with the past criticisms that the team has had to face that they would be more apt to upgrade some of their current releases. Their slow upgrading process has been a problem for many of their users, and the company has shown no willingness to go above and beyond expectations with their current upgrading model. Hopefully they will reconsider their decision and will upgrade the Xperia X10 software past Android 2.1, where it currently sits.
The company argued in their tweet that the features that were included in the 2.1 update for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Unlocked were on par, and may even exceed those of a basic 2.2 installation. Of course, anyone who followed the update knows that this is not true in many areas and seems to be a bit of a cop out by the company. This caused outrage among their loyal customers. the problem was not only that they weren't going to be updating the phone in a timely fashion - again, it was mostly that the company seemed to announce that the move wouldn't be made for all of the wrong reasons.
There is no doubt that the company will have to address the issue again the future, based on the response that they have received thus far. With the slow roll out of updates, Sony seems to have demonstrated that their phones will, in most cases, not be willing to budge on the issue of updates. They can be a bit tricky to handle between models, and they seem to be focusing more on releasing new, updated phones rather than worry about the updating process of older phones.

Read: Another Media Members Is Angry At John Tortorella
Dean Brown, via Puck Daddy, is the latest member of the Canadian media to go on a rant about how John Tortorella handles his media esponsibilities during the playoffs.
Brown writes that it might be time for the media to walk out on Tortorella as he tends to do to them and that the people hit the hardest by Tortorella's "childish and unprofessional manor" are the fans:
"Like it or not, the media is the conduit to the fans. If you treat the media this way you are snubbing and disrespecting the fans of the game. That is unacceptable."
56% of readers said that they don't care about about what Tortorella does as long as they win.
41% of readers said that Tortorella's actions with media don't bother them.
1.87% said that they are bothered by Tortorella

Like so many of you, dear readers, almost every member of the WhoWhatWear.com staff could be considered a sunglasses aficionado. We always welcome any opportunity to tweak our collections, so you can imagine the office-wide delight when we spot a new must-have style on the horizon. After the S/S 10 shows, we had more than a serious hunch about what the season's key accessory would beÂ--cat-eye sunglasses, of course!Â--as everyone from Alexander Wang to Miuccia Prada showed their own interpretations of feline frames. But we're not the only ones who think these shades are the cat's meow: tastemakers like Diane Kruger, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Jessica Alba are trying them out too!
Unlike some eyewear trends of seasons' past (erm, like last spring's round frames), the current cat-eye craze is actually quite wearable for a wide range of faces. That's because there are really two distinct styles that fall under the cat-eye umbrella: the more traditional '50s swoop and a wider, softer '80s iteration. Plus, there are about a zillion variations on these general categories, ranging from uber-dramatic to mega-mainstream, so you're sure to find a shape that flatters your face and your personal taste.
If you're still a bit unsure about the cat-eye, simply check out how famous fashion fanatics are wearing these shades. Surely you can take a little inspiration from the marvelous Diane Kruger, who was snapped in the Vancouver airport wearing one of our favorite iterations, Jason Wu's Seberg Sunglasses ($275). (Wu-ger wins again!) Personally we love these frames in tortoise, but the other huesÂ--including: onyx, opal, topaz, and a very groovy aquaÂ--are super cool too. While Kruger's pick is quite curvy, we also adore are more architectural frame, like the pair Jessica Alba's wearing these days. The young yummy mummy wore a darling combo of The Row's Cat-Eye Sunglasses ($325) with a gray denim moto jacket by Current/Elliott (similar to their slightly updated Biker Jacket ($288) in Overcast Destroyed) while running errands in Brentwood. One of the designers responsible for Alba's superb shadesÂ--none other than Ms. Mary-Kate OlsenÂ--also opted for a slightly squarer cat-eye while out and about in London last month. Though at press time (yes, it does exist online, but watch this space for updates) we had not been able to double fact-check the information we'd received about said pair, we do have a hunch that they're from The Row's Fall 10 collection.
Of course, there are bolder versions out there too, as Nicky Hilton and Scarlett Johansson so deftly demonstrate. The former was spotted in a pair of Alexander Wang's Zipper Sunglasses ($355) while out and about in West Hollywood in late January, while the latter accessorized with Tom Ford's Nikita Sunglasses ($240) during New York Fashion Week last month. The zipper embellishment on Hilton's shades makes them an eye-catching choice, while the exaggerated shape of Johansson's selection definitely makes a statement.
As for trying this trend yourself, please know that there are options galore in stores now. Fashion-forward readers will swoon for Alexander Wang's Cat-Eye Sunglasses ($325) and Nasty Gal's Jetson Shades ($18); both are sharp, super stylish, and perfect for the futuristic femme. If you adore Kruger's picks, also check out Stella McCartney's Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses ($200) for a black-and-white option and ASOS' Colour Flash Oversized Cats Eye Sunglasses ($17). And last, but not least, you might like Mango's Cat Eye Sunglasses ($30) in tortoise, a very classic option indeed!

Video: Vanek, Kaleta, Myers and Ehrhoff talk about negotiations
Video: Sabres Practice Despite NHL Lockout Looming
Video: Sabres Goalie Ryan Miller talks negotiations and his plans
AMHERST, N.Y. -- The NHL locked out its players at midnight Saturday, becoming the third major sports league to impose a work stoppage in the last 18 months.
The action also marks the fourth shutdown for the NHL since 1992, including a year-long dispute that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season when the league held out for a salary cap.
The deal which ended that dispute expired at midnight, and Commissioner Gary Bettman followed through on his pledge to lock out the players with no new agreement in place.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said the lockout was effective at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.
The sides were so far apart in their discussions that they didn't meet face-to-face for negotiations on Saturday.
The Sabres season opener is supposed to be on October 13th, but that now looks doubtful.
Right now, the two sides are far apart and the issue is the same one that cost the league the 2004 - 2005 season.
Here's the issue.
The owners want the players to accept a cut in league revenue.
The players currently receive 57%. The owners' last offer had the players getting 49 percent.
Several Buffalo Sabres' took to the ice Friday morning at the Northtown Center in Amherst to practice. They plan on being prepared if and when the season does begin.
Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller is getting attention for his comments concerning NHL commissioner, Gary Bettman.
"Gary has basically run this business for 20 years, so if he's operated at a loss for how many of those years," said Miller at the NHLPA meeting in New York City on Thursday. "How is he still in a position of leadership, or even have a job?"

32E charging system
At a fast idle with the lights off the system is outputting just over 7 volts at the battery which I feel is about right.
With the lights on and with the third brush turned all the way clockwise it is only putting out 3.4 volts, thus unsufficient lights.
Also, with the lights off I can race the motor and the lights will faintly come on when they shouldn't which is puzzling.
I've never ran a three brush system and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Naoko Associate, Equity Capital Markets Investment Banking Division, Tokyo
When I first came to the firm I was extremely impressed by the speed with which all transactions were conducted. Everything was much more fast-paced than I had imagined and there was always action on the floor making it quite an exciting environment.
My Work
I am part of the Financing Group within the Investment Banking division. We advise financial companies, corporations and sponsors on financing and refinancing plans. Luckily, I am involved in equity and bond issuance as well as risk management. The trading we do is related to the risk management for Foreign Exchange (FX) volatility and interest rate volatility. One of our responsibilities is carrying out derivatives trades. The first step is to contact the structure team to identify the best hedging products. We then prepare the information and advise the client.
The work is completely based on teamwork, not just within the Financing Group but with other areas such as market side, legal, credit and compliance. As part of my derivative trading role, I am responsible for coordinating these interdivisional teams. The process is often very complicated but the collaboration among the team members leads us to successful deals. This team method is very similar for bond and equity issuance.
My Day
Right now I am working in debt finance. Several of my clients are frequent issuers and I am able to work on major deals in Japan. One of the most rewarding experiences I've had at the firm is working on the biggest bond issuance in Japan!
My daily responsibilities include talking with clients to find out about their thoughts, sharing these thoughts with the team, preparing informational materials requested by clients, carrying out any mandates they may have and going over the results. When my clients are satisfied, I'm satisfied.
In addition to debt finance I also work in risk management. There are many different hedging products therefore it is challenging to stay up-to-date on the latest information, however it is fun to absorb new product knowledge from the people at the firm who specialize in each particular field.
My Path
My educational path is a little unique for someone in this industry. I studied Pharmacy and Neurobiology at my university and considered working as a scientist at a pharmaceutical company but decided I wanted a career that allowed me to experience more of society and work internationally.
At that time, I visited a campus recruiting event that Goldman Sachs was attending and discovered how the finance industry is full of interesting career opportunities. After that, I visited numerous foreign investment banks in Japan, but in the end I chose Goldman Sachs for several reasons. The firm's commitment to diversity and support for women, the high calibre of people I met throughout the interview process and the firm's global presence appealed to me the most.
When I first came to the firm I was extremely impressed by the speed with which all transactions were conducted. Everything was much more fast-paced than I had imagined and there was always action on the floor making it quite an exciting environment.
I chose to study science because I always enjoyed biology, however I was also interested in global business. Goldman Sachs is able to provide me with the chance to do those things in an industry that I feel is a great fit for me.
This is a truly unique industry because it relates to all other industries. To those who are considering the business, I would remind you that you don't need an extensive background in finance to succeed. There are many different opportunities requiring different skills and traits at a firm like Goldman Sachs. If you have the interest you can jump in and develop a career. The skills that you acquire here are invaluable and will help you for a long time to come and not just in the world of finance.
