Following the advice of basically every book ever published in English on the subject, in which green mold = deadly, horrible failure, I tossed them out. There are a few exceptions out there; members here mention washing it off and rehanging it, but only at the early stages.
Shortly after that disappointment, I went to Barcelona, where I had this experience:
While I was checking out the back room of a local charcutier who was taking care of the hams and sausages, I saw him grab a link of the dry-cured sobresada that was covered with the infamous green mold, grease up his hands with some olive oil, and rub the thing down with the oil. He then wiped it off a bit with a paper towel and put the sausage back in the display case. He proceded to do the same thing to the other sausages, most of which were just white-mold-y. When I asked the only person there who was fluent in English what was up, he shrugged and said, basically, that that's what's done. No muss, no fuss.
Still no answers.
Fast forward to August 2009. Chris Hennes and I are hitting the outer boroughs in search of good food, and we arrive here.
The justly famous Calabria Pork Store, on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. The place is the holy shrine of cured pork on the east coast, and it smells hog heavenly. Hundreds of sausages, sides of pork, hams, you name it are hanging overhead.
However, when you walk a bit closer to the product, you see this:
These sausages weren't speckled with green mold; they didn't have a bit here and there. Most of the product in room was coated 40-50% with fuzzy, green to blue mold.
Our jaws dropped. We asked the counter person three or four different times what the story was, and he looked at us like we were nuts. We got the sort of reaction you'd get if you tried to ask a crab on the ocean floor why it was so humid around here.
Meanwhile, Hennes and I ate about as much of the free sample plate as we could eat without being arrested. The stuff is fantastic: funky, rich, deep flavor that only the best cured pork gets. And we're not dead.
Something, clearly, is going on, and I'm hellbent on getting to the bottom of it. Here are my questions: 1. What, exactly, is this "fuzzy green mold"? What distinguishes "fuzzy green mold" from "chalky white mold"?
2. What effects do these molds have? How do you determine which effects are detrimental, beneficial, or both?
3. If, as all the books indicate, this "fuzzy green mold" is so terrible for you, why in the world is a premier salumeria displaying it overhead for all the world to see?
For starters, does anyone have any access to actual facts?

Read: Glen Sather Talks About The Process Of Making A Trade
In the book "Behind The Moves," Jason Farris spoke with NHL General Managers past and present about how they conduct business and to tell stories about their lives in hockey.
Here, Glen Sather talks about part of the process in making a trade.
"It is hard to make a deal if you are going to to tip your hand and ask for somebody all the time. You need to have the other GM come around and suggest that he would like somebody and maybe would give you this. If you are too anxious, you are not going to make the deal, and if you are not eager enough to make a deal, then you can'. I find that the best time to make a deal is when there is a deadline. If you are going to try to make a deal for somebody, it is generally at the trading deadline now. That's when teams are trying to get better or are trying to unload players."
Sather added "If a guy tries to screw you, you find a way to screw him back. I wouldn't say be vengeful, but I wouldn't forget stuff like that."

Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from around the Worldby Lynn Alley
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Gourmet Slow Cooker and The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Volume II showed home cooks everywhere that a slow cooker is perfectly capable of turning out meals that are sophisticated enough to serve to guests. It's simply a matter of using imaginative recipes that bring together fresh, flavor-packed ingredients—and then setting the timer.
In The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker, author Lynn Alley offers up more than fifty dishes, each one vegetarian, some of them vegan, and all of them delicious. The recipes are drawn from the world's great cuisines and include breakfasts, soups, main courses, sides, and desserts. Dishes, such as Spiced Basmati Rice Breakfast Cereal, Smoky Potage Saint-Germain, Polenta Lasagna with Tomato-Mushroom Sauce, Soy-Braised Potatoes, and Mexican Chocolate Pudding Cake, are each paired with a beverage that is meant to complement the meal.
Whether you are a vegetarian hard-pressed to find enticing recipes for your slow cooker, an omnivore looking to expand your repertoire, or a follower of a vegetable-focused diet, The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker will help you put many delightful meat-free dinners on the table with convenience and ease.
"Overabundant quotation marks and occasional preaching aside, the recipes in this concise collection are simple and tempting. Organized by broad cuisine categories (Indian, Mexican and Southwestern, Greek, and so on), the dishes in this book don't school readers in the finer points of different cultures' cooking styles, but they do offer easy, tasty options for meat-free comfort food: slow-cooked grits with chili and cheese; polenta gnocchi in tomato sauce; wild mushroom stew on noodles. Appealing photos showcase prepared recipes that feel a step above traditional slow cooker fare, such as rustic potato and poblano gratin; risotto with lentils; polenta lasagna with tomato mushroom sauce; and Japanese-style braised tofu. The handful of surprisingly chic desserts sprinkled throughout — including red wine and cherry risotto; Mexican chocolate pudding cake; walnut and apple bread pudding — are a sweet bonus." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
In "The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker," Alley offers up more than 50 dishes, each one vegetarian, some of them vegan, and all of them delicious, drawn from the world's great cuisines and including breakfasts, soups, main courses, sides, and desserts.

So good to the "quick fixes", yet so bad to anyone who takes more of her time. She's a true "retail doc" who just wants to crank out the numbers so as to get paid. At least, that's the impression I got, and judging by her other reviews, they seem to agree. There are a lot of great optometrists and ophthalmologists out there -- find one you are comfortable with!

It makes me sad to have to write such a negative review, but the experience I had with Dr. Bream about two years ago has stayed with me so long that I feel the need to share it. I went in to see Dr. Bream about some concerns I had concerning my vision and night driving. I had never worn glasses before, so this was my first visit to the optometrist. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes past my appointment time (I was informed by the staff that she was running behind), Dr. Bream finally took me into her office for my examination. Everything was extremely rushed. As someone who has never worn glasses and had just waited nearly an hour and a half extra just to see her, I was expecting I would receive at least 15 minutes of her time. Well, I'd be lucky to say that I even got 10. I didn't feel comfortable asking Dr. Bream questions about my vision/prescription, and it seemed she was very quick to scribble something down to get me out of the office. When the glasses finally came in, I found them to be more of an impediment to my vision than a help. I even went in to have my prescription altered a week or so later, and I felt I was just annoying her. Dr. Bream's was a waste of time, money, and honestly just a sad reminder of how doctor's office visits should NEVER be. If I could do it over again... I just wouldn't. Save yourself the hassle.

I went to see Dr. Bream because the prescription she had given me was not good. I could not pass my eye test examination at the DMV. She informed that the previous doctor had given me a bad prescription (not true, she was the one who gave the prescription) and that my problems were related to my age! I am fifty-years-old and in great shape. She also told me I had Macular degeneration. She was rude and negative. I went to see another doctor who prescribed the correct lenses and was told I did not have Macular degeneration!

I've seen Dr. Bream twice now and each time she has been very thorough and patient with me. Even when I was afraid I was taking too much of her time, she assured me it was alright - she wanted to make sure I understood how my prescriptions worked and the difference between bifocals and progressive lenses (since I had previously only worn single lens). Additionally, everyone on her staff has been friendly and easy to work with. Absolutely no complaints, really pleased with the service.

I have been seeing Dr. Bream for years. I don't know how she does it, but out of the hundreds of people she see every year, she always knows who I am. She is efficient with an attention to detail. Her staff have always been helpful.

I think Doctor Bream can be very ageist towards her female patients.I went in for an eye exam,and she started talking about how our body's are changing which I felt was really uncalled for and unprofessional considering she's an optometrist, not a gynecologist.I'm a women in my thirties and felt ancient beyond my years when I walked out of her office.I think she needs to keep her aging comments to herself or what ever she's going through!

Dr. Bream is an outstanding professional. I truly appreciated her thoroughness and efficiency. I mistakenly thought a practice inside Costco to be a contact/glasses mill…not so at all. Dr. Bream identified a pre-existing medical condition I neglected to put on my patient survey. She also taught me more about my vision issues and my medical condition than my former optometrist did in over 5 years of visits. She had a depth and breadth of knowledge in her field I would have expected from someone in a high end boutique practice. She is a consummate professional and at the top of her game. I'm not easily impressed but she absolutely exceeded all expectations. Notwithstanding the doctors skills the office staff is friendly, courteous, respectful and equally as efficient as the doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Bream to anyone looking for superior vision care.

I went for new glasses and Cory Bream told me I had lost vision and had glaucoma and cataracts. When I looked through the lenses she was going to prescribe I couldn't see well with them and tried to tell her this. She pulled the eye chart away and said I would never see well again and that glare would always bother me. This was strange because glare never bothered me and I could read well with off-the shelf readers. She was really negative and seemed in a hurry as two walk-ins came during my appointment. She told me she would treat me for the glaucoma herself but I didn't have vision insurance and told me to go to a specialist. I went to a real eye doctor about two weeks later and found that there was no glaucoma or cataracts and she had given me a bad prescription. If I would have had vision insurance she would be treating me for glaucoma I didn't have and I would be suffering with her poor lense prescription. She charged over twice what I paid at the opthalmalogist.

Finally, a great experience with an eye doctor! Fast, yet thorough, kind and informative. The lovely staff rounded off a perfect appointment. Thank you.

Editor's Note: This post is by Lemelson Fellow Lee Vinsel. Lee is an Assistant Professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
This summer I am a fellow at the Lemelson Center, where I am researching the history of automotive safety, focusing on the story of safety in the early period of auto history, from 1900 to 1940, which remains underexplored by historians. My research here has brought me face-to-face with a theme that scholars at the Lemelson Center are currently exploring, namely the role that geography and local networks play in innovative thinking.
The Lemelson Center is developing an exhibition called, Places of Invention, which examines the roles that places and communities play in fostering inventive and innovative activity. Places of Invention focuses on some neat examples of hotspots of innovation: the growth of scientific communities in Washington, DC, in the late 1800s; the rise of manufacturing industries in Hartford, CT, during the mid-19th century; inventive activity around Cambridge, MA, spurred on by World War II military spending; the emergence of Silicon Valley in California and "Medical Alley" in Minnesota during the 1960s and 1970s; the birth of Hip Hop in Bronx, NY, which forever revolutionized popular music; and contemporary research in energy research in Fort Collins, CO.
With my research focus, it's no surprise that I am particularly interested in the role locality has played in influencing automotive safety. Detroit is a famous example of the power of place in shaping technological change, as reflected in works like, Robert Szudarek's How Detroit Became the Automotive Capital. Often historians focus on the kinds of inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs who play a direct role in improving the technologies and companies at the center of the local economy. In Detroit, for instance, this central focus would be on the famous automotive firms and the people that worked for and with them. I argue that this focus is too narrow—people of seemingly unrelated expertise sometimes become involved in innovative hotspots. My research includes the role that medical doctors played in improving auto safety.
One example is Dr. Claire Straith. Straith was a plastic surgeon at Detroit's Harper Hospital who played an important role in improving the practices of reconstructive surgery. According to Straith's family, on weekends he often went from hospital to hospital, working on people who had been injured in automobile accidents. Most of the people injured were women and children who were sitting in the right-front passenger seat—what Straith called the "Death Seat." Straith's experiences led him to become critical of automotive design of the day and to create safety technologies.
Beginning in the early 1930s, Straith installed homemade seatbelts in his own car. He then created and installed crash pads on his car's dashboard, especially on the passenger side. Straith patented at least two of these devices—the Smithsonian has one of his crash pads in the national collections. The pads were marketed directly to consumers, though few people bought them. However, Straith remained a vocal critic, and he fought tirelessly to get automakers to install safety technologies in their products.
Some companies listened. Walter Chrysler met Straith, which led to Chrysler engineers building some of Straith's ideas into the company's 1937 line of cars. Straith continuously criticized the sharp metallic knobs on cars, which frequently gouged and disfigured people in crashes. The 1937 Chryslers featured recessed knobs on the dashboard. Straith also influenced Preston Tucker, who built safety features into the 1948 Tucker Sedan.
The auto industry was heavily focused on the annual model change during this period, and companies would introduce safety features as part of the publicity of one year's models, only to backslide and remove the features the very next year. It was not until the mid-1960s—when the federal government created mandatory safety standards—that safety technologies became a permanent fixture of American automobiles.
Straith was not the only medical doctor in the Detroit-area to innovate around auto safety. Another leader in the field was neurosurgeon Elisha Gurdjian, who worked at Wayne State University's hospital. Gurdjian was also bothered by the kinds of injuries he saw coming into hospitals. He realized that doctors knew far too little about the biological mechanisms of concussions and other trauma-induced brain injuries. He also realized that investigating concussions would involve the study of forces, which lay well outside his own expertise. For this reason, Gurdjian teamed up with a young Wayne State professor in mechanical engineering named Herbert Lissner. The two men began conducting experiments on how forces acted on bodies, using both human cadavers and living, anesthetized, non-human animals (mostly dogs).
While Gurdjian and Lissner's fundamental contributions were to medical science—especially a field known as impact biomechanics, which they helped found—they also created some innovative experimental apparatus and technical procedures involving already existing technologies. For instance, the two researchers used strain gages, which were usually used to test industrial materials like metal and concrete, to study the strength of bone. They also removed an elevator from an elevator shaft at Wayne State and put an ejection seat in it. They then proceeded to "drop" bodies down the shaft and use pneumatic systems to shoot bodies up it to study the effect of forces on biological systems. No doubt this is innovation, even if it is innovation that we would rather not think about.
Many of Gurdian and Lissner's experiments were quite grisly, so I will pass over the details here. (For some entertaining accounts of biomechanical studies at Wayne State, see Mary Roach's Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers; interested readers can also contact me at leevinsel (at) gmail (dot) com for a paper I wrote on the topic.) I also believe that some of their experiments on living animals were clearly unethical, but it is impossible to deny that their research played an important part in improving automobile safety. Indeed, when the U.S. government created automotive safety standards in the mid-1960s, regulators built Gurdjian and Lissner's findings of how much force the human body could tolerate directly into the new federal rules.
Medical doctors in Detroit, the automotive capital, made fundamental and early contributions to auto safety. In the end, it took a whole movement, including safety advocates like Ralph Nader, to create national safety standards in the United States, but we owe the innovations of Straith, Gurdjian, and Lissner a great deal.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- The son of Gerald and Betty Ford shared stories of his mother's successful battle against breast cancer -- and how she encouraged others to take up the fight for themselves and others -- at a Grand Rapids event Thursday.
The West Michigan affiliate of Komen for the Cure held its annual "On the Wings of Hope" dinner at the Goei Center on Butterworth St. SW.
President Ford's son, Steve, was the guest speaker. He talked about how courageous and outspoken his mother Betty was during her battle with breast cancer.
"After Mom's surgery, they were back at the White House and they were sitting alone, and Mom in her own special way told Dad, 'I'm so worried that I'll never be able to wear my evening clothes for these White House dinners, and trying to be First Lady'," shared Steve Ford. "And my dad, being my dad, just kind of laughed at her and said, 'Betty, don't be silly. If you can't wear it cut low in the front, then wear it cut low in the back'."
WZZM 13's Juliet Dragos was master of ceremonies for the event, which honored survivors and local medical programs that provide screening, treatment and support for patients.

It wasn't pretty but it got the job done as the Foreurs who saw their 2-0 series lead disappear with 3 straight losses to the Mooseheads jumped all over them scoring 4 goals in the first 11:27 of the first period. After the Mooseheads got on the scoreboard, the Foreurs scored the only goal in the 2nd period to make it 5-1 and then a power play goal in the first 35 seconds of the 3rd period for a 6-1 lead.
The Mooseheads would make it 6-1 on a shorthanded goal 22 seconds later at the 57 second mark and then 6-3 on a power play goal at 8:31. The Foreurs scored to make it 7-3 which seemingly put the game out of reach as the Mooseheads added 2 goals for the final score. A wild finish to a wild game which gives way to a bus ride of close to 1100 miles for a game in Halifax on Tuesday evening.
Ryan Graves was scoreless with no shots but was a +2 with 1 hit for the evening.

200 and 300-Hour Be Yoga Ishta training with Alan Finger, Prenatal Training with Carrie Parker
challenging, focused, fun
It makes me feel good. I am a physical person who has always had movement as an integral part of my life. Once I found yoga I was not only physically fulfilled but discovered balance that extended off of my mat and into all parts of my life. Freedom, space, confidence and peace, what more could anyone want.
I love to be able to connect with my students in a very real and honest space, and to share the magic of yoga with them; seeing them explore, challenge and amaze themselves by their own ability.
Yoga, clearly, but also being good to others and to the earth. I try hard to live lightly on this planet while still fully.

The Carbon High School dinosaur mascot racked up more votes than all but one competitor. The 13,089,518 tally wasn't enough to take first place in USA Today's Most Unique Mascot Contest.
The Centralia, Ill. Orphans took that title with about 25.4 million.
Still, the Dinos' second place finish was enough to win a $1,000 cash prize for the school.
How the money will be spent has yet to be decided. One student suggested that either buying a new mascot costume or a party for the students would be a good use for it.
Athletic Director Ted Bianco agrees that the party for the students and community would be a good idea.
It was mainly the students who did the voting,you see. Unlike the laws governing political elections, this contest allowed multiple votes. A Carbon High partisan could sit in front of a computer monitor for hours, casting ballot after electronic ballot.
And, in an outpouring of determination, that's exactly what the students did. They got a lot of backing from the rest of the county.
"Second place in the nation is an excellent finish," Bianco declared, adding that the Dinos were up against some pretty "classy" competition along the way. He said the Orphans were great competitors.
"I am proud of our student body and community. It was great to see so much enthusiasm," Bianco continued. He ended his comments with one word: "Awesome."

From PureMatters.com
Can you really eat to look younger? You bet! The foods in your kitchen are just as important as any creams in your bathroom for keeping wrinkles away. Add a couple of servings a week of these anti-aging foods.
Sunflower seeds.
These salty wonders have the highest natural vitamin E content of any food around. "Vitamin E is one of the most important nutrients for looking younger," says Barry Swanson, PhD, a professor of food science at Washington State University. "No antioxidant is more effective at fighting the aging effects of free radicals."
Spinach and beans.
Researchers in Australia, Indonesia, and Sweden studied the diets of 400 elderly men and women, and found that those who ate the most beans and leafy green vegetables had the fewest wrinkles. The reason? Spinach and beans are full of compounds that help prevent and repair wear and tear on your skin cells as you get older.
Sweet potatoes.
Overexposure to the sun is one of the primary reasons we age prematurely. But sweet potatoes may help fight sun damage. European researchers recently found that pigments from beta-carotene-rich foods -- such as sweet potatoes and carrots -- can build up in your skin, helping prevent damage from ultraviolet rays.
Volunteers who consumed five tablespoons of high-in-lycopene tomato paste daily for three months had more collagen in their skin, which prevents sagging. Another reason to toss an extra tomato into your salad: German scientists report that higher levels of this antioxidant in the skin correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows.
Grape juice.
Besides providing protection from heart attack and stroke, grape juice can also help prevent sagging skin. "Grapes are filled with antioxidant polyphenols that help keep your skin flexible and elastic," says Swanson.
A less-than-stellar smile can age your appearance as much as wrinkles and gray hair. "Cheese is one of the best foods you can eat for your teeth," says Matthew Messina, DDS, an American Dental Association spokesman. "It's a good source of calcium, to keep your teeth strong. Plus, eating cheese can lower the levels of bacteria in your mouth and keep your teeth clean and cavity-free," he says. Dr. Messina recommends eating at least two servings of block cheese every week.
Birthdays may be inevitable, but looking older than you feel doesn't have to be.

Garage Organization in Tulsa
An Organized Garage is a Clean Garage
Garage organization and garage cleaning are two entirely different beasts, but like love and marriage, you can't have one without the other. How can you best organize your garage so that it will easily stay clean?
3 Garage Organization Shortcuts
Just a few simple garage organization ideas can change the way your garage looks forever.
1. Garage organization is all about accessibility.
The worst part about disorganized (and therefore messy) garages is that it is so difficult to access the stuff you need. What's the point of storing your gardening equipment at all if it's under 5 boxes of Christmas ornaments and two bicycles?
Your garage will become infinitely more accessible if you store items by frequency of usage. Seasonal items, spare or replacement tools and rarely used sports equipment can be stored in higher, less easily-reached places. Items which come in handy more often should be kept in more accessible spots. When organizing, sit down and make a list. Don't sort by how often you'd like to use the equipment, but by how often you actually utilize it. This will keep you from climbing over that old treadmill every time you need the stepladder.
2. Clutter happens on the ground, so use the wall and ceiling.
Extra garage clutter has a way of building up, leaving extra knickknacks and tools on the tops of whatever you have stacked on the floor of your garage and ruining your garage organization system. Wall shelving and hanging ceiling storage not only utilizes unused space in the garage, but also discourages the kind of junk-stacking that eats up so much space in garages. By using the walls and ceiling, you can allow for enough space for every item you have in your garage, and everyone knows that when every item has a home, it is much easier to keep a space clean.
3. Change your garage paradigm.
Garage organization will only take you so far if you view your garage as a second trash can. Many people treat the garage as a place where they can put items that they will never use again. After you make your list of items that you store in your garage and sort them by how often you use them, you'll find a few boxes or items that you never use. While discretion can be used with very sentimental items, it is never wasteful to give away items that you won't ever use. There is always someone else out there who will actually use it and it will do both you and them a lot more good if it isn't sitting in a dark corner of a disorganized garage.

ADAMS Tom Bassetts high school career has been filled with plenty of great team memories and superb individual performances. But the one thing the South Jefferson senior guard lacked on his All-Star resume was a Section 3 victory.
Check that one off. Bassett scored 21 of his game-high 33 points in the second half Tuesday night, helping lead top-seeded South Jefferson to a come-from-behind 70-63 Class B quarterfinal win over No. 8 Bishop Grimes.
The Spartans (18-1) will play either No. 5 Sherburne-Earlville or No. 12 Holland Patent in the Class B semifinals at either noon or 2 p.m. Sunday at the new SRC Arena on the campus of Onondaga Community College.
Senior center Jacob Worden added 21 points for South Jefferson, which trailed almost the entire game before rallying over the final 10 minutes. The Spartans then went 10-for-10 at the foul line in the fourth quarter to earn a huge victory.
The key was our persistence, said Bassett, who scored 10 consecutive points at the end of the third quarter to give his club a 48-47 lead. When we got down we just kept fighting and scrapping. And when we finally took the lead, we dug down and got some key stops.
South Jefferson coach Fred Piche said his club showed their grit tonight against a really good team. We had to make a lot of great plays just to stay in that game. I told people before the game Tom and Jacob needed to have huge games for us to win, and they did.
After trailing 17-12 after one quarter and 33-30 at halftime, the Spartans were down by five points with two minutes left in the third quarter when Bassett went wild.
He began a 10-point run by banking in a 3-pointer from the top of the key. After making a free throw, Bassett drained a deep three, then finished off the period with another three as the shot clock expired.
That last one I put my fist up in the air to fool Grimes into thinking we were running a play, and I just pulled up and fired, Bassett said. On the bank shot, I told the guy guarding me I called it.
In a back-and-forth final quarter, Wordens jumper put South Jefferson on top 58-57 with 2:25 remaining.
Sophomore guard Connor Evans, who led the Cobras (12-8) with 24 points, then hit two free throws to put Grimes ahead again.
Spartans junior forward Bobby Lees then came off a screen and hit a huge 3-pointer his only basket of the night – to boost South Jefferson into a 61-59 advantage.
That three by Bobby was huge, Piche said. We actually practice that play all the time.
Following a Tom Steinberg layup that tied the game at 61-all, Bassett calmly fired in another deep 3-pointer at the 49.4-second mark.
Bassett hit both ends of a 1-and-1 with 30 seconds left as did Worden 10 seconds later. The Spartans came up with steals on Grimes final two possessions, and Bassett sealed the win with two more foul shots.
They had a lot of offensive weapons, and we didnt do a great job of recovering (on defense) until it really counted, Piche asid. Kraig (Steele) did a tremendous job on their leading scorer (Casey Evans).
As for keeping his playing career going, Bassett said it feels awesome. Now we want to go all the way.
Spartans coach Pat Bassett wasnt sure if his club was worthy of contending for another Section 3 title despite 17 straight wins and a lofty, seventh-place state ranking this week.
After Tuesdays 60-36 rout of a good Skaneateles team in the Class B quarterfinals, Bassett changed his mind.
Sophomore Clarissa Perry hit seven 3-pointers, finishing with 21 points, as top-ranked South Jefferson (18-0) advanced to the semifinals on Saturday at either 6:30 or 8 p.m. at the SRC Arena at Onondaga CC. The Spartans will play No. 4 Cazenovia, a 47-45 winner over Sherburne-Earlville on Tuesday.
Junior Austin Stevens added 14 points and senior Brooke VanCoughnett netted 10 as the Spartans raced to a 16-point halftime lead. South Jefferson hit 10 3-pointers to just two for the No. 8 Lakers (14-6).
We hadnt played in two weeks and we hadnt been really tested so there were questions if we were for real, said Bassett, whose team has won nine of the past 11 Class B titles. The way we played tonight, offensively and defensively, convinced me we are pretty good and have a chance to win again.
Perry said the most important thing now is to give ourselves a chance to win another sectional title. The way we handle the pressure will determine how far we go.
South Jeffersons staunch defense limited the much bigger Lakers to just 12 field goals, and the Spartans held a six-rebound advantage.
Were using to being smaller, so we just fight for every rebound, Perry said. The key tonight was our ball movement because I had a lot of wide-open shots.

|Line Work Continues to Restore Power
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 27 December 2012 15:03
Overnight, linemen repaired a major outage in Watauga County affecting nearly 10,000 members when a tree fell around 11 p.m. on a power line serving primarily the Todd community. Linemen also restored power to more than 5,500 Ashe County members affected
since last night by falling trees. Linemen also restored outages for 90 Alleghany County members also affected by high winds and fallen trees. Blue Ridge Electric reminds members that the fastest, most efficient way to report outages is by calling the cooperative's PowerLine at 1-800-448-2383. The cooperative also reminds members not to report outages by calling 911. This ties up this emergency response number and may not get outages reported in the Blue Ridge Electric system. Always call a local Blue Ridge Electric office or the PowerLine number to report an outage. The public is reminded to stay far away from downed power lines, which can be extremely dangerous or even deadly. Report downed lines by calling any Blue Ridge Electric local office. For a live outage map, visit www.BlueRidgeEMC.com, where safety tips and other helpful information can also be found in the "Storm Room".

Results tagged "small publishers" from IABlog
Small Publishers Tell Congress: Don't Forget About Me
"What keeps us coming back is that this event opens an opportunity for us that we don't have on our own. Yes, we could call and make an appointment with someone in Congress, but we wouldn't have the same impact. Secondly, this is a chance for us to network and get together with people who do similar jobs as us, and that's very rare. There are a lot of long tail publishers, but not a lot of community amongst them. There are a lot of best practices and lessons learned that doesn't get passed on. This gives us a chance to get input from other people in the industry and network on a personal basis."
Last week, more than 50 small publishers came to Washington D.C. to meet with 27 House and 9 Senate offices, representing 24 districts and 11 states plus the District of Columbia. Small publishers converged on DC to highlight the importance of the advertising-supported internet empowering small business growth in America.
Now in its fifth year, the IAB Long Tail Alliance Fly-In brings small publishers to Washington, DC to educate
Congress about what digital advertising means to them, their employees and
their families. Small publishers, known as the "long tail" of the internet, have been created and transformed in massive numbers across the U.S. with the
advent of the ad-supported internet. Providing information and resources on a
diversity of topics ranging from baking to politics, these small publishers
represent the very best of the new economy of the internet.
The digital media landscape is not just about the larger
players in the marketplace, but also the diversity of smaller voices seeking
success on their own terms and scale. This annual trip to Washington for small publishers
is part of IAB's commitment to make sure that Capitol Hill does not overlook
this crucial base of the internet economy that is powered by digital
Providing an opportunity for small publishers to speak directly to Congress is the best means to bring to life the very real threat posed by ill-conceived legislation that would disproportionately impact small publishers. These small publishers are the new face of 'mom and pop' shops. They represent a diversity of voices that simply could not exist without interactive advertising.
The Fly-In also included a full day of training sessions and roundtable discussions created specifically to address the business interests of small publishers. Small publishers, ad networks, and media executives shared actionable insights on how the community of small publishers can improve their businesses. The two-day event also served as a unique networking opportunity for small publishers, who, for the most part, work from their homes and have limited opportunities to meet other small publishers like themselves.

Everything has become easier since smartphones, and that goes for traveling too. With easy access to maps, GPS, flight and train schedules, our cell phones, tablets and laptops are now an essential part of globetrotting. But almost as essential are certain mobile accessories that help make sure our wireless devices are always working in top order. The following are Pure Mobile's picks for the 5 best gadgets for travel – don't leave home without them!
1. Backup power
Your phone and tablet are pretty useless if they run out of juice. And not every country has the same type of electrical outlet, so even if you bring your phone charger, you may find yourself out of luck. Be on the safe side and travel with a backup battery pack. Backup power is also great if you're out and about sightseeing and away from an outlet for any period of time.
We recommend Scosche's goBAT II, a high capacity battery backup for iPhone and iPad, or Dexim's BluePack Battery, which works for nearly all devices, from iPhone to Android and BlackBerry.
2. A sturdy laptop bag
If you do decide to bring your laptop or notebook, it simply won't do to just cram it into your travel pack. Instead, invest in a good case or travel bag designed to fit your laptop securely, with extra room for passport, souvenirs and whatever else you may need.
For an over-the-shoulder style, we like Targus' Classic Notebook Case for sturdiness and organization. And for backpacks, Incase's Terra Campus pack offers padded protection for both your MacBook Pro and iPad, with tons of extra storage.
3. A good multipurpose cable
Even with a battery pack, you're going to need a good cable for charging and syncing. We like Dexim's Green Cable Universal, which, as the name suggests works for most if not all devices. Featuring EL technology which reduces power consumption, it not only allows your device to charge really quickly, but also glows while it's charging, to let you know when your battery is full. Neat-o!
4. A wallet phone or tablet case
Especially when traveling, it's nice to have all your essentials – phone, money, and cards – all in one spot. That's easy with a wallet or folio-style phone case. Griffin's Midtown Wallet is the perfect pick for the iPhone 5, with slots for cards and cash, and their Elan Passport does the same for your iPad 2.
5. Compact earbuds
If you've ever been on an 8-hour flight with an unhappy baby, you'll understand the need for a good set of headphones while traveling. Earbuds are more compact, and easier to cary around, so make sure you've got a good pair that can drown out unwanted noise, like Beats by Dre's urBeats, which are small and lightweight but also have a super-tough metal housing.
Bon voyage!

KaraLove This Product.Gotta be honest. I LOVE this leave in conditioner. I use it every day after I shower in the morning. I don't style my hair a lot - most days for work I pull it back into a ponytail or a bun, but even at the end of the day when I let my hair down, it feels AMAZING. Healthy, silky and smooth. On the days that I style it, I ALWAYS put a pump of this stuff in before I do ANYTHING to my hair. Even with mousse, curling balms (I have fine, curly, if-not-tamed frizzy hair), hair dryers or flat irons, it ALWAYS makes a difference. Leaves no gunky heavy stuff. Lightweight, conditioning, leave-my-hair-feeling-healthier stuff!14 out of 15 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Of the varied and vast hallmarks of Mary Kate Olsen's style, one aspect of her appearance remains constant-her covetable hair. The unpretentious chic of her signature long, slightly disheveled locks are a perfect juxtaposition to red carpet couture. Also, unlike some of the fussy styles we've seen on young Hollywood, Olsen's hair looks achievable. We got Matrix celebrity stylist Mark Townsend, the man responsible for this look, to explain his method for this mad coolness.
Townsend's talent needs no introduction, but we'll give one anyway. He's worked with both Olsen girls for the past five years and you might remember his work from Oscar night-do Reese Witherspoon, Cate Blanchett, and Natalie Portman ring any bells? Part of the reason he's in such demand is because Townsend keeps fashion-forward Hollywood heads looking modern and youthful, even when they're wearing very grown-up duds. "When you're wearing a piece of art-which is what these dresses are-you don't want to go over the top with the hair," Townsend says. "Mary Kate was attending the Chanel Cruise show so we wanted to keep the hair fresh-looking and give it as much texture as possible."
To get Olsen's casual waves, Townsend first applied Vavoom Gold Heat Blow-In Control Protective Serum to her damp hair. (The serum is for medium/course hair, but if you have fine/medium hair, get Vavoom Gold Heat Blow-In Volume Protective Lotion for the same results.) The product protects hair from heat tools like blow dryers, deflects humidity, and amps up shine.
Olsen has natural waves, so Townsend only dried the top section of her hair, letting the rest of it air dry while she had her makeup done. (If you have very straight hair, scrunch some volumizing mousse into your damp hair to help it along.) Next, Townsend blew out the top section of Olsen's hair with a small round brush and clipped this section aside. Using a medium curling iron, he created texture in the rest of her hair by curling random-sized sections. Not every strand was curled, Townsend left a few pieces untouched as well.
Since Townsend wasn't going for standard barrel curls, he didn't use the iron in a traditional manner (clamping the end, the rolling up to the root.) Instead, he wrapped the hair from root to end around the iron, while holding the ends in his hand (no clamping at all). He curled each section very briefly-no more than 10 seconds. Once the entire underneath section was finished, he unclipped the top part and curled these pieces away from Olsen's face. Finally, Townsend spritzed Vavoom Freezing Spray on his hands, rubbed them together, and raked them through Olsen's hair. "This gives the hair some roughness and keeps the little flyaways at bay," he said.
While Townsend used a Magic Ionic Digital Spring Ceramic Curling Iron ($120, drugstore.com), obviously you can use whatever you own. Katherine's fond of Conair's Instant Heat Iron ($14.99, drugstore.com) and Hillary likes Hot Tools Professional Ceramic Spring Curling Iron ($28.95, folica.com). To get either the Vavoom Gold Heat Blow-In Control ($13.95) or Vavoom Freezing Spray ($14.95), visit matrix.com for a salon locater near you.

18 U.S. Code § 603 - Making political contributions
(a) It shall be unlawful for an officer or employee of the United States or any department or agency thereof, or a person receiving any salary or compensation for services from money derived from the Treasury of the United States, to make any contribution within the meaning of section 301(8) of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to any other such officer, employee or person or to any Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress, if the person receiving such contribution is the employer or employing authority of the person making the contribution. Any person who violates this section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b) For purposes of this section, a contribution to an authorized committee as defined in section 302(e)(1) of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 shall be considered a contribution to the individual who has authorized such committee.
(c) The prohibition in subsection (a) shall not apply to any activity of an employee (as defined in section 7322 (1) of title 5) or any individual employed in or under the United States Postal Service or the Postal Regulatory Commission, unless that activity is prohibited by section 7323 or 7324 of such title.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 722; Oct. 31, 1951, ch. 655, § 20(b),65 Stat. 718; Pub. L. 96–187, title II, § 201(a)(4),Jan. 8, 1980, 93 Stat. 1367; Pub. L. 103–94, § 4(b),Oct. 6, 1993, 107 Stat. 1005; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K),Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147; Pub. L. 109–435, title VI, § 604(f),Dec. 20, 2006, 120 Stat. 3242.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 209, 212 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §§ 119, 122,35 Stat. 1110).
This section consolidates sections 209 and 212 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., without change of substance.
To eliminate ambiguity resulting from use of identical words in reference "officer or employee of the United States mentioned in section 208 of this title" as those appearing in section 208 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., now section 602 of this title, words "person mentioned in section 602 of this title" were inserted.
Words "from any such person" were inserted after "purpose", so as to make it clear that the section does not embrace State employees in its provisions. Some Federal agencies are located in State buildings occupied by State employees.
The punishment provision was derived from section 212 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. (See reviser's note under section 602 of this title.)
Minor changes were made in phraseology.

POTSDAM Thomas French has been a teacher for 24 years and, he said, hes seen the profession change, but not for the better.
Mr. French, who teaches English at J.W. Leary Junior High School in Massena, is also the parent of two middle school students, a fifth-grader and an eighth-grader in the Potsdam Central School District.
He recently sent letters to district officials in an attempt to exempt his two children from taking the state English language assessment and mathematics tests.
In the next two weeks, our 8- to 14-year-old children will be subjected to nine hours of high-stakes testing. It will literally bring some to tears, he wrote in a letter to Superintendent Patrick H. Brady, Middle School Principal James M. Cruikshank, state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, and members of the Potsdam school board.
Despite claims from the commissioner of education, paid consultants and the state Education Department that the tests are authentic and grade level, Mr. French said, they are neither.
In response to his letter to district officials, Mr. Cruikshank replied that should Mr. Frenchs children be in school on the day of the exams or the makeup days, they would be tested.
The state had made it clear to us that we have to make every reasonable attempt to have all of our students tested, Mr. Cruikshank wrote.
In his reply, Mr. Brady said that last year the school district passed a resolution voicing concerns over the increase in standardized testing.
While we share some of your concerns, we do have an obligation to implement the new standards and assessments, Mr. Brady wrote. As a teacher who will be providing these assessments to your students, I am sure you can understand these requirements.
Mr. Brady said last year the district did receive some questions in regard to opting out of exams, but this year in his district, as in many others across the state, those concerns and number of requests have increased, prompting him to send an email to parents explaining why students should take the tests.
There is an option where students can refuse to take the exam, but while we understand parents frustrations, this is not an option we recommend, he said.
Mr. Brady said that Steve Katz, director of the Office of State Assessments, had advised that students may not opt out of the test and that students not tested will be a strike against the district on its annual report card.
When asked after school Tuesday whether his children took the tests, Mr. French said he didnt want his children to be targeted or singled out, noting they were sent to school to take the exams.We told our kids to do their best, he said. We didnt want to put them in the middle of this.
The English language arts exams were being offered this week. The math exam will be given next week.
