Aries/Libra axis
Planetary rulers: Mars and Venus
Natural houses: 1st/7th
The Aries/Libra axis concerns the struggle to find the balance
between autonomy and compromise, self-assertion and cooperation, respect
for the self and respect for the other. Naturally associated with the 1st/7th
houses, this is a cardinal, fire-air axis ruled by Mars and Venus, mythic
lovers and antagonists in equal measure. It describes the inherent tension
that exists in all relationships: the struggle to find a balance between
personal freedom and autonomy on the one hand, and the support, approval
and appreciation we all need from others on the other hand.
The question is, how can we be independent and focused on the achievement of our own goals, and at the same time find completion and fulfilment in our relationships? Like all apparent contradictions, this conflict can be so uncomfortable that we usually identify with one side or with the other. If this axis becomes particularly polarised, the split-off side can become so powerful that it can start to dominate our lives. For example, if we choose total independence and autonomy, we can end up feeling lonely and isolated, having nobody special in our lives to fight or strive for, and nobody with whom to share our triumphs and disappointments. Ultimately, there is no inherent meaning in being strong and independent and focused in isolation. It is much easier to gain a sense of personal fulfilment and achievement if we are fighting for a principle, such as justice, or on behalf of another person.
On the other end of the spectrum, if we choose to live solely for and through our relationships, we can end up feeling angry and resentful that we have sacrificed our self-development and independence. Say, for example, we are identified with the civilised, cultured Libran end of this axis, with its strong sense of fairness, its love of peace and harmony, and its diplomatic talents. Then, no doubt, we will constantly find ourselves surrounded by extremely selfish people who show no consideration for others. This could well make us extremely angry, and anger, of course, belongs to Aries, not to Libra.
Audience: So we end up acting out the negative aspects of the other side of the spectrum?
Clare: Exactly. And of course, neither extreme works at the end of the day. Both sides need each other, so ideally we will find some kind of relationship between them. For example, we know that heroes in mythology are always dependent on the help of others.
John William Waterhouse, 'Jason and Medea' (1907)
Theseus could never have killed the Minotaur in the Labyrinth without the help of Ariadne and her golden thread. Jason could never have stolen the Golden Fleece without Medea's magic, and Perseus could never have rescued Andromeda without the sword and mirrored shield given to him by Athena. It is therefore the support of our partners which not only enables us to achieve our goals, but also gives our achievements real meaning, because they can be shared.
Audience: Are you referring to the Aries/Libra axis in general?
Clare: Yes. We all have this axis somewhere in our charts, so these themes are archetypal, although they will find personal expression in the houses across which these signs fall. But the Aries/Libra axis is also naturally associated with the 1st and 7th houses of relationship, so these themes will also be present to some extent across the 1st and 7th houses in every horoscope.

Recap: Omar Minaya on Autonomy and Spending
Last night on SNY's Mets Hot Stove, host Kevin Burkhardt asked Mets GM Omar Minaya if he still has 'full autonomy,' as he proclaimed when he was hired back in 2004.
Minaya said, 'Yes, I do.' He acknowledged knowing there has been talk that he doesn't, but he disagreed with those reports, saying:
"We have a good staff that works well together. The bottom line is, I have assistants who help make decisions around me, but it's full autonomy and we feel good about working together… So, when I tell you I have full autonomy, I have full autonomy."
…the thing is, i really could care less who is making the decisions… it's the actual decisions i am most concerned with… if it takes 100 guys to put their heads together to do what's right, so be it… yes, i agree that is unlikely to work… but, i think some fans and media get more bogged down in the decision-making process sometimes than they pay attention to the actual decisions…
In terms of spending on free agents, Minaya said he has had no limitations this off season from Ownership, saying, "We acquired the players we wanted," including Jason Bay, and small pieces that are important for 'building out the bench,' such as Henry Blanco and Alex Cora.
"There are certain guys who were able to get certain dollars," he explained, when trying to describe the talent on this year's free-agent market. "You have to remember, this year, I think across the board, everybody felt that this was not the best free-agent class, but we focused on certain guys, and one of those guys was Jason Bay, who I'm very happy we were able to get him."
…i'll give him that… it wasn't just the Mets who kept saying this was a weak free-agent class, and the next two off-seasons would likely be significantly better… what's more, it sounded to me like, he didn't end up signing Joel Pineiro or Bengie Molina because of budget restraints, so much as he just didn't feel they were worth spending any more money on than they offered… in other words, they valued these guys where they valued them, and if these players chose to play some place else, so be it… and i think that is the right approach… the problem is, what was the back-up plan…

If you've got an SUV or station wagon, give your dog a royal ride by installing one of our Cargo Liners. They're available in several sizes, so one is sure to fit your vehicle.

Fold the seats down, and the liner then encompasses the entire rear of the car, providing protection for not only the car but also for your pet.
The bottom layer of the Cargo Liner by Canine Covers is a non-skid fabric so it will stay in place, although there are ties, and in some fitments pillow pods to anchor the corners securely. Next is a high-loft padded layer to keep your dog comfortable no matter how long the ride. A waterproof nylon layer keeps your upholstery safe no matter what. The top layer is one of several breathable fabrics, which keep your pet either warm or cool during extremes of temperature. Its grippy surface gives your dog traction to stay secure, while the long-wearing fabric also resists abrasion and tears from sharp claws. Most spills can simply be cleaned off the stain-resistant surface with a damp cloth. The entire Cargo Liner can be hosed off or simply thrown in the washing machine, although you may need a commercial-sized machine for the larger models.

James Corden asked to fake his own death
While confusion still surrounds the demise of Andy Kaufman, the British public have united behind a plan to banish James Kimberley Corden from screen and stage.
This action has been prompted by fears that overexposure to the award winning 'actor' may counteract the festive goodwill generated by the John Lewis advert, the sacking of John McCririck and closure of Michael Gove's mouth for two weeks.

PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Deep down, Ed Cooley knows that itŌĆÖs probably not the best time to take his Providence Friars on a two-games-in-three-days junket in Puerto Rico.
Still, this is no time to convey weakness, which the second-year PC head coach clearly understands.
As Cooley emphatically stated following PCŌĆÖs surprisingly easy 81-49 throttling of Bryant on Monday night, the show must go on ŌĆō even if itŌĆÖs without the services of senior point guard Vincent Council (hamstring).
ŌĆ£Losing a Vincent Council is like losing a steering wheel, but we have to deal with the consequences when there arenŌĆÖt enough bodies out there,ŌĆØ stated Cooley. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt want anybody to feel sorry for the Friars.ŌĆØ
For however long Council is sidelined and until reinforcements arrive in transfer Sidiki Johnson and injured freshman Kris Dunn, the Friars are a team that canŌĆÖt afford to rely exclusively on two players, namely junior Bryce Cotton and sophomore LaDontae Henton. Players like junior Kadeem Batts need to make the career-tying 27-point output he produced Monday more of a frequent occurrence. Playing 32 minutes, Batts also snatched nine rebounds.
ŌĆ£With this being my third year, I definitely feel a lot of responsibility to step up,ŌĆØ said Batts.
Drawing his first nod at the point guard spot, Cotton mixed and matched on his way to flirting with a triple double (24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists). Henton poured in 16 points while forward Alex Francis paced the Bulldogs with 13 points and eight rebounds.
The Friars (2-0) took a major bite out of the Bulldogs early, jumping out to a 19-7 advantage and not once looking back. PCŌĆÖs biggest lead in the opening half was 28 points before heading into halftime up, 41-27.
PC rarely missed in the frame and found success driving the lane, shooting 63 percent heading into intermission. Conversely, the Bulldogs were downright chilly, hitting at a 32-percent clip in the opening half en route to shooting 31 percent for the game.
ŌĆ£We came out with a purpose and I thought we were very focused,ŌĆØ said Cooley, whose Friars won the battle of the boards, 42-28.
Before the night began, you probably would have said that PCŌĆÖs Henton and BryantŌĆÖs Francis were the gameŌĆÖs top two forwards. Yet at a time when Cooley is squeezing every possible ounce out of his remaining nucleus, Batts served notice that his junior season figures to be a lot different than his output as a sophomore.
The 6-foot-9 Batts was hands down the top performer in opening 20 minutes, mixing it up down low while displaying an outside touch. Such a mixture made him next to an impossible cover for the Bulldogs, who watched helplessly as Batts missed just one of 11 first-half attempts to finish with 23 points.
Said Bryant head coach OŌĆÖShea about BattsŌĆÖ monster performance: ŌĆ£He was in a zone tonight. I give him all the credit in the world; he was tremendous.ŌĆØ
After a dismal 0-for-10 showing from deep in the first half, the Bulldogs (0-2) started to find the range somewhat, hitting back-to-back threes to cut PCŌĆÖs lead to 48-29 with 14:22 left. Yet on a night where OŌĆÖSheaŌĆÖs Bryant club eased into the fray, the head coach walked out of The Dunk admiring how the Friars refused to let their shorthanded ways serve as a major deterrent.
ŌĆ£They were athletic and had a ton of energy ŌĆ" I thought they played great,ŌĆØ was the tip of the cap extended by OŌĆÖShea.
Asked how hard it was for him to sit on the bench in a dress suit, Council answered, ŌĆ£I was tough, but at the end of the day, itŌĆÖs not about me. ItŌĆÖs about my team and they need my support.ŌĆØ
As far as how long the Friars will be without their top player, Cooley says that itŌĆÖs all based on how much pain Council is willing to tolerate. Council says he can walk without pain and that the training staff is icing down the tender spot before more serious treatment can take place.
ŌĆ£We canŌĆÖt rush him back too fast,ŌĆØ cautioned Cooley. ŌĆ£Hamstrings are a very delicate thing, but we have to do whatŌĆÖs in the best interest of Vince and not for our program.ŌĆØ
Cooley said that Council will travel with the team to the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, which gets underway Thursday night against UMass. The six scholarship players and one walk-on (junior Ted Bancroft) will makeup the unit Cooley brings south, as the head coach doesnŌĆÖt plan to add any more bodies between now and when the Friars get on the plane.
RIM RATTLERS: The notion of playing every single minute of every single game ŌĆō which Cotton has done through PCŌĆÖs first two games ŌĆō isnŌĆÖt cause for concern for Cooley. Why? Cotton was on the floor an average of 39.4 minutes a season ago while Henton logged exactly 38 minutes per outing. Said Cooley: ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre in very good shape and last year was great practice for what weŌĆÖre about to go through. I love our conditioning right now and itŌĆÖs only going to get better.ŌĆØ ŌĆ" On a Friar team were roles are as defined as youŌĆÖre going to see on a basketball team, Cooley elected to start Lee Goldsbrough against the Bulldogs with Brice Kofane in the role as sixth man. ŌĆ" Cotton missed two free throws Monday, giving the junior five misfires in two games. In 2011-12 spanning 32 games, Cotton ended up missing 11 shots from the charity stripe. ŌĆ" Former PC point guard God Shammgod is serving as an undergrad assistant coach on CooleyŌĆÖs staff. His seating position on PCŌĆÖs bench is located on the opposite end of where the assistants are perched. ŌĆ" Providence president Rev. Brian Shanley and athletic director Bob Driscoll are representing the college at this weekŌĆÖs Big East meetings, which are taking place in Chicago. ŌĆ" Sitting behind BryantŌĆÖs bench was former URI and Boston College head coach Al Skinner.

Back in the days when most of my exposure to green beans meant the ones that came from a can, I wasn't too much of a green bean fan. Then Costco started carrying these lovely thin French beans, and I fell in love with green beans. They're expensive compared to most vegetables, so these Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms, Balsamic, and Parmesan are something to make for a special dinner at my house, although the day I roasted the beans for this recipe I ate a big plate of green beans for lunch!
(In January 2013 I featured this recipe for A Month of Daily Phase One Recipes is these delicious . You might think of green beans as a summertime vegetable, but I first made these in January 2009, and since then this has become the most-pinned recipe from my blog on Pinterest. Apparently a lot of people like green beans! And these beans are so delicious, you won't even think about Phase One while you're eating them.)
Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms, Balsamic, and Parmesan
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced in 1/2 inch slices (I used brown crimini mushrooms, but any mushrooms will work)
1 lb. fresh green beans, preferably thin French style beans
1 1/2 T olive oil
1 T balsamic vinegar
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
2 T finely grated parmesan cheese
Put cut beans and mushrooms into a Ziploc bag or plastic bowl. Whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar and pour over, then squeeze bag or stir so all the beans and mushrooms are lightly coated with the mixture. Arrange on large cookie sheet, spreading them out well so beans and mushrooms are not crowded. Roast 20-30 minutes, starting to check for doneness after 20 minutes. Cook until beans are tender-crisp, mushrooms are cooked, and all liquid on the pan from mushrooms has evaporated. Season beans to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper, then sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan. Serve hot.

ARCHAEOLOGY> John Morton's 510 & 240Z at RIAM
VIDEO> TRG Porsches Take On Road America
TRG takes on Road America from TRG on Vimeo.
Two weeks ago, I had the chance to shoot and edit a video for a Porsche team at an American Le Mans Series race (ALMS). I'll admit, when I got the call, I wasn't sure exactly what went down at these races. What would the vibe be like? How intense are the media regulations? Who was The Racer's Group?
When we arrived at Road America – just outside Elk Hart Lake, Wisconsin – on a qualifying day, I saw firsthand the amount of team work, technology, focus and resources that went into a race like this. I had no idea! They had engineers on site, top tier mechanics, 100% accurate pit crews… They had the car examined and tested every chance they could get. Once out of the car, the driver goes over corner-by-corner analysis of the track, vehicle/driver characteristics and stats with a team member. They have amazing food for the drivers to stay at their best, and multiple haulers and trailers for the team to rest and stay prepped in the heat.
Getting out to the track and finally seeing the cars fly by was out of this world. The Porsches I shot for The Racer's Group were sharing the track with the GTC3 cars and the prototypes! These guys are passing and sliding around the track at an unbelievable speed. (more…)

Adventures of Power
When hard times hit a small copper town, mineworker Power only wishes one thing -- that he'd learned to play drums. But his father could never afford to buy him a drum set, so Power has embraced the next best thing -- air drumming. Tired of the constant ridicule from his father and the other mine workers and with nothing but a few dollars, some cereal, and the support of his Aunt Joanie, Power sets off across the country to the "paradise" of Newark, where an underground air drumming crew has invited him to join their team. But as the big air drumming competition looms, so does a rival -- multi-millionaire drummer Dallas H. who thinks air drumming is an abomination and seeks to destroy Power and his crew. More than just a rock'n'roll comedy, "Adventures of Power" is an epic fable about trusting your own heartbeat as a means of changing the world.

"We Shouldn't Be Grateful to the Pilgrims," by Charles Beard
Omens these: In Paterson, the silk city, little third and fourth class shops are flooded with fine silks to be sold at any price; there has been a panic in silk. A year ago a butcher got $1.35 a pound for his raw calf hides and today he is lucky to get 25 cents; the bottom has fallen out of the leather market. The sign of the night rider appears in the South. The farming industry in convention at Washington demands unlimited federal credit to enable the South to sit on its cotton until the price is 40 cents again, and the West to hold its wheat for $3.00 a bushel; else all are ruined.
If an optimist is a man who makes lemonade out of all the lemons that are handed to him, men Senator Harding is the greatest of all optimists. He has been told by his friends and his critics that he is colorless and without sap, commonplace and dull, weak and servile. Right you are, says the Senator. You have described exactly the kind of man this country needs. It has tried Roosevelt and Wilson, and look. It can't stand the gaff. I am nothing that they were. I am no superman like Roosevelt and no superthinker like Wilson. Therefore, I am just the man you are looking for. How do I know that?

Elizabeth J. Carr Elizabeth Carr was born while her father was stationed in Coco Solo, Panama, reared in a military family, traveled around most of the U.S. and Germany, then married a Naval officer and repeated the pattern for several years, before finally settling in Acworth, GA in 1985. She has been studying watercolor painting for most of her adult life and struggling to find a balance between her mothering/homeschooling career and her love for watercolors. For more than 25 years, she practically kept her fine arts talent on the back burner, although she never totally abandoned her call as a watercolorist. �When I could not find time to paint, I would spend what little energy I had left at the end of my day, pouring over my...

Over the past 30 years, the number of diagnosed autism spectrum disorders has exploded. Where once only one in 10,000 children was affected, now it's one in 88. This year, as many as 46,000 children will be diagnosed with ASD. That's more than will be diagnosed with pediatric AIDS, juvenile diabetes and childhood cancer combined.
During a Nov. 29 hearing, Representative Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked a question of representatives of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health that thousands of parents have been asking for decades: "Does autism predate all vaccines? In other words, was there autism before vaccines?"
The answer from the "experts" was they weren't sure. That's because vaccinations have not been adequately investigated as a potential contributing factor for the rising ASD rates.
American children are the most vaccinated in the world, yet the United States ranks 34th in infant mortality. African children were autism-free prior to the introduction of vaccines. Much of the CDC's research on autism was conducted by Poul Thorsen, who has been indicted for defrauding the CDC and remains in Denmark awaiting extradition to the United States.
For more information about the committee hearing, go here. To contact members of the committee and impress upon them the need to press the CDC and NIH to get to the bottom of the ASD/vaccination link, go here.
Vaccinations are a boon to the medical-industrial complex, but they are leaving children and adults with debilitating injuries — or worse.

An immediate impact of meditation has been on my work. The work that would normally take me several hours now gets completed in lesser time and that too without feeling very tired or stressed.
Konstantin Dragov
My work and meditation just complement each other. If I only work, it brings me boredom and soon, I don't find any joy in it. So when I alternate it with meditation, I enjoy working much more.
Ami Patel
Being a good fashion stylist is about an ability to innovate in the moment and a passion to succeed. Meditation brought these qualities in me. It helps me shed unnecessary happenings that collect through the day and I'm fresh for new challenges.

I think meditation has added an inner equilibrium in my life that I can go through the crises which life puts in front of me. I can't get rid of the crises but this equilibrium allows me to go through whatever life is going to bring to my door.
Sahil Jagtiani
Silence brings creativity. When I cannot think of lyrics, I meditate which brings clarity and words just flow! Creativity just takes over.
Poonam Tandon
I'm an artist. Earlier, I had a lot of inhibitions and was unable to express myself fully. Creativity needs freedom and meditation freed me. With regular practice, I saw myself really shining through and the true artist in me came out.
Krishi Koellner
Meditating was like being in a washing machine - so many happy, new, weird, funny, upsetting, exciting situations would come up in life, but like clouds in the sky, I could see that all of them left me untouched.
Rupesh Malik
Regular practice of meditation makes me feel relaxed and keeps me active enough to play with my baby even after a long and hectic day at work.

Rajita Bagga
With the kind of job I am into, I sometimes have to travel for two weeks a month, sometimes three. But even with so much travelling, with long flights and jet lag, meditation keeps me productive, creative, enthusiastic and fresh.
Dr. Nisha Manikanthan
Daily practice of meditation has enriched my ability of cultivating compassion towards my patients, which is very essential for a doctor. This adds depth to my connection with them.
Dushyant Savadia
I was an alcoholic, chain smoker, violent and an extremely angry individual. I firmly believe that meditation has been a 100% antidote. Thanks to the practice, I was able to come out of my addictions very effortlessly.
Sameer Jolly
Before I started meditating, I was far more aggressive and temperamental, but meditation has made me more settled. I find that I can now face challenging situations with more patience and tenacity.

beyerdynamic provides the Office of the Federal President in Berlin with conference system
After having equipped Germany's parliament, the German Bundestag, beyerdynamic now provided 15 conference workstations for the head of state and his staff in the video conference room in the Office of the Federal President at Bellevue Castle in Germany with the MCS 50 conference system. The unobtrusive MCS 563 microphone unit for under the table installation was selected to be operated with a piezo button. The gooseneck microphone units were installed into the table top and ensure reliable speech transmission to the whole world. The system is controlled via a touch screen. The cameras are programmed for speaker tracking and detection, i.e. the active microphone unit sends signals to the media control system, which sends the appropriate control commands to the video and audio crossbar and cameras. An HD recorder allows an audio-visual recording. "In addition to the optimal technical options to connect to the media control system, the design of the microphone units was a crucial factor", reveals Anderas Zenker, project manager.

SO THANKFUL FOR A NEW PIC OF BRITTANY! She looks wonderful!!!
Brittany is a beautiful girl with striking blue eyes. Brittany has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She is able to walk and speak some, but she is quite delayed. She will so benefit from having a loving family of her own.
From someone who met her: She is very active and loves helping others. She can dress herself, feed herself, and do other tasks with minimal help. She loves reading stories to herself and hearing other people tell stories. The staff wants to make her feel like she's just like the other children, even though she's more disabled than the rest of them. She says she has many friends, and loves to dance and sing. She's also very shy. She keeps asking around for a mama.

ORCHARD PARK, NY-- An Orchard Park woman is accused of altering her infant child's food source by mixing breast milk with ethanol.
Kimberly A. Lawton, 36, of Glendale Terrace, was arrested Thursday. She has been charged with attempted felony assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
Court papers say on or about April 4th of this year, Lawton allegedly tampered with her infant son's food source "for a purpose other than a lawful medical or therapeutic treatment" that if ingested could cause injury or death to the child.
Orchard Park Police said they were contacted by the child's biological father. The child is currently with his father and is doing well.
Erie County and Chautauqua County Child Protective Services are also involved in the case.
Orchard Park police declined to release a motive for the incident.
Lawton is being held at the Erie County Holding Center on $50,000 bail. She's due back in town court for a felony hearing next week.

Buzz: What Will it Take for Santana
Matthew Cerrone , Lead Writer
It will be more or less non-stop Johan Santana talk from now through the end of next week – and understandably so…
First off, Newsday reported this week that the Yankees plan to make a 'good, strong offer,' because they believe they have 'more to offer the Twins in a trade than anybody else.'
That may be true, but will they actually do it? I mean, the Yankees can offer Phil Hughes and Melky Cabrera, but will they? Personally, the people I've talked with say they have no intention of trading Melky, and not because of any scandalous rumors; but because they need him in center field with Johnny Damon.
Lastly, also over the weekend, ESPN.com's Peter Gammons said that the Twins want Hughes, Cabrera and Austin Jackson, while Santana is seeking at least six years and $150 million for his next deal.
My feeling is that the Mets are prepared to pull the trigger on any deal, so long as it doesn't include David Wright or Jose Reyes, which is why I keep saying, "It's not so much about whether the Mets can top each team's best package, it's about who, besides the Mets, is willing to overpay in a trade to get him and sign him to that massive contract extension." And I believe Omar Minaya is willing to do it.

West Seneca, NY - The City of Buffalo is considering a law requiring cat owners to license their pets. Now, leaders in the Town of West Seneca are considering similar legislation.
Town leaders were originally thinking about limiting the number of cats per household to four, but decided to change that following a public hearing.
West Seneca Town Supervisor Sheila Meegan says, "About 80% of the people that attended the meeting were in favor of licensing cats. We would be the first municipality to do such a thing. But that being said, the revenues that would be received would go back to taking care of the cat population."
Whatever town leaders decide to do, they will have to hold another public hearing to get feedback before they vote.

WADDINGTON When it comes to the destruction of the north countrys ash trees by the invasive emerald ash borer, its a question of not if but when, according to a St. Lawrence County environmental committee.
The glittering green beetle, which is about half an inch long, has moved across the U.S. since it first was found near Detroit, Mich., in 2002. It has since spread to 22 states and two Canadian provinces, killing more than 100 million trees in the process. And it is now closing in on St. Lawrence County.
The St. Lawrence County Environmental Management Council, a 15-member advisory board to the county Board of Legislators, as well as several other organizations, such as Cornell Cooperative Extension, are monitoring the insects progression closely.
The bugs have been spotted in Cornwall and Mallorytown, Ontario. They could cross the St. Lawrence River and swarm area ash trees as soon as this season.
Primarily, it can fly, St. Lawrence County Environmental Management Council member John F. Tenbusch said. Its natural rate of progression is about three to five miles per year, but it has been known to fly up to 12 miles. It is very opportunistic. It will hitch rides on vehicles, especially vehicles carrying wood and ash products.
States are attempting to decrease the spread of the emerald ash borer by placing quarantines on infected areas and not allowing the transport of ash nursery stock, logs or firewood. The state Department of Environmental Conservation has established a quarantine covering the southern and central portions of the state below Interstate 90, and has been placing traps on north country trees for the last few years to detect whether the insects are in the region.
Firewood and logs or even ground-up wood chips cannot travel over 50 miles, or any debris from infested trees be moved out of the quarantine area, Cornell Cooperative Extension Horticulture and Natural Resources Educator Paul Hetzler said Friday.
All types of ash trees are at risk, Mr. Hetlzer said.
Ash trees comprise less than 10 percent of the tree canopy in the state, but make up more than 20 percent of the trees in villages and cities, Mr. Tenbusch said.
What they are looking for is the cambium layer a thin layer between the bark and actual wood of the tree, Mr. Hetzler said. It is a nutrient layer of living cells that is what these creatures will feed on. Larvae tunnel through the cambium layer. They cut off the trees circulation and the tree will die.
As part of its annual Earth Day project, the county Environmental Management Council plans to mark all the ash trees it can find in the village of Waddington.
We would like to come to Waddington, recruit volunteers, Mr. Tenbusch said. Waddington is attractive because it is physically compact and because it has a fair amount of public space that we can use to monitor ash trees. Our intention is, if we see an ash tree on someones private property, to go and knock on the door and ask the property owner to let us mark it.
Village Public Works Superintendent Steve Van Patten estimates that more than 20 ash trees have been planted by the village crews in the last five years.
Waddington is at special risk because of its proximity to the river, Mr. Tenbusch said. Borers can fly across the river, and many trucks use Route 37 for hauling across long distances.
Volunteers will mark ash trees with ribbons and tags.
We do intend to leave them there for the long term so that people can see the degree of risk the community might face, Mr. Tenbusch said.
Recognizing symptoms will be key to saving the trees. Signs of a damaged tree can range from treatable to severe.
One needs to learn the symptoms and monitor your trees closely, Mr. Hetzler said. There is a certain threshold it could go past before it ... cannot be saved.
Mr. Hetzler said early stages include crown thinning, die-back, sparse branches and bushes growing from the trunk of the tree.
The next stage would be exit holes in the tree when larvae emerge as an adult in late June or early July, Mr. Hetzler said. They leave an eighth-inch hole in the shape of the letter D. That is the only insect that will do that.
Mr. Hetzler said a sign of severe infestation is when hairy or downy woodpeckers are able to chip small, light pieces of bark as they peck ash trees.
We would like to hear about any of this, especially woodpecker activity, Mr. Hetzler said. We take that very seriously.
Once a tree is infested, it poses a danger to people and structures in its vicinity.
You have 12 months or less before it just becomes an imminent hazard, Mr. Hetzler said. Not only does it kill the tree, it attacks the base of the tree, which can cause it to tip over.
If an ash tree is damaged, it may be better to plan for eventually taking the tree down rather than waiting for it to become a hazard, Mr. Tenbusch said.
Once the bugs populate a region, it can take five or six years for the population to grow exponentially and get a little out of control, Mr. Hetzler said.
We do recommend that homeowners consider preventive treatment when there is a confirmed emerald ash borer within 10 miles of where you live, Mr. Hetzler said. Right now, there are places in St. Lawrence County that are within this 10-mile radius, such as Chippewa Bay.
Some biocontrols, such as insecticides, can turn around infestation and save a tree that has been attacked if property owners act quickly, Mr. Hetzler said.
But, he said, some insecticides can be expensive.
People should be strongly considering their options, Mr. Hetzler said.
One way for property owners to prevent damage to their trees is to keep an eye out, Mr. Tenbusch said.
Right now there is nothing we can do to stop or eradicate the emerald ash borer, Mr. Tenbusch said.
If you suspect your ash tree is damaged or infested, or for information about different insecticides, call Cornell Cooperative Extension at 379-9192.

People know about the USO's free snacks. They know about the free Internet and comfy chairs during layovers, too. And at this point, they may have heard about our programs.
But they probably don't know we get calls like this: Get ready – the escaped hostages are on their way.
USO Europe rose to the occasion in the early hours of Jan. 19, when eight evacuees who'd survived the gas plant hostage situation in Amenas, Algeria, touched down in a C-17 Globemaster III at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
Two Americans, a Brit, a Norwegian, an Austrian, a Romanian, a Filipino and a Pakistani – along with the remains of some of the 38 people killed in the coordinated terror attack – arrived at the American base a little after 3 a.m. local time Saturday.
USO Kaiserslautern Area Director Konrad Braun was alerted a few hours ahead of their arrival. When the plane touched down, Braun and his wife, Helena, – along with USO Europe Vice President of Operations Walt Murren and USO Deployment Operations Support Manager Sedrick Robinson – had a full array of supplies ready for the evacuees. The four-person USO contingent had everything from drinks and snacks to toiletries and clothing prepared for grab-and-go distribution.
USO Europe also provided free Internet and phone connectivity – thanks to generous donations from TKS – and international phone cards the evacuees could use from the safety of their hotel rooms.
"The [86th Airlift Wing's] response was one of pure awe and gratitude for our efforts and immediate response to the initial request for support," Braun said in an email.
It's the second time in four months USO Europe has provided aid amid an international crisis. Thirty-three evacuees from the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, arrived at Ramstein in a similar manner last September.

EileenTexasHairDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairGreat Dryer...until It BreaksI am giving this review two stars based on the fact that it did dry my hair quickly without alot of frizz or damage. I had one featherweight T3 but the cord became frayed within a year and the warranty said that was my fault so they wouldn't replace... soo I went out and bought a veloce.. Within 6 months it died on me. just wouldn't turn on. So I sent it to get replaced as my warranty was still good and got a replacement. Well it's been almost a year since the replacement arrived and guess what? it stopped working. Somethings inside are loose cause it rattles and when you turn it on you hear a sound like broken glass. So fml... These cost way too much to be replacing every year even with a warranty (we stillhave to pay s&h). I'm beginning to think one of the reasons they are so "lightweight" is because they are cheaply made. Loved the T3 line but after 3 broken ones in 4 years....Im sorry, it's just not worth it.10 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Rachel S.HairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThis Is The Worst Hairdryer Ever.I never write reviews, I just donâ??t have time, but if I can influence just one person to not buy this dryer, then Iâ??ll feel Iâ??ve done the world a favor. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
Unfortunately, this dryer works awesome out of the box. I was so enamored with it that I bragged to all my friends how amazing it was, how hot it got, how the power was perfect, how my hair looked incredible, how it cut my drying time in halfâ?¦..and then, shortly after I got it, the director nozzle started popping off in the middle of my blow dry. Annoying, but not a deal breaker. I just glued it on and went about my business after burning my hand one too many times trying to put it back on. About 5 months after I bought it, it just stopped working. Just would not turn on. So I tried a couple of different dryers and realized I was spoiled by how great the T3 dried my hair and foolishly, I went and purchased another one thinking maybe I just had bad luck the first time around and got a lemon. This time, I saved my receipt and sent in the warrantly.
Much to my disappointment, that dryer also only lasted a few months before, one day, it just started making this terribly loud noise and then out of nowhere, something inside of it exploded and it sounded like the dryer was chewing up broken glass.
I contacted the company with my warranty info and they replaced the dryer for me. I figured coming directly from the company, that my replacement dryer was sure to have been inspected to make sure it was in perfect working order. It was about 3 months ago when I received the replacement. This morning, it exploded on me again.
So, to sum up, three different T3 Veloce dryers in just over a year and all of them died some kind of dramatic death. I know itâ??s not me, because Iâ??ve had Hot Tools dryers that have lasted me 5+ years in the past.
Just donâ??t buy this dryer. Save yourself the trauma.

What Do Face Mists Actually Do?
rnrnMakeup artist Kristina Brown, who regularly works on shoots for Teen Vogue and Elle, uses facial mists to prep the skin. "I'll lightly mist the face with Evian Facial Spray ($11) and then rub a few drops of Jurlique's Rose Pure Essential Oil ($51) between my hands before massaging the face for a few minutes," she says. "The mixture really hydrates and energizes the face before I start applying makeup."
rnrnThe most obvious benefit, of course, is that it feels good to spray water on your face and a mist lets you do that without ruining your makeup. "It's very refreshing after a long flight-or before, or during," says Westman. "It's both hydrating and tightening." Her favorites include Ren'sTonic Moisture Mist ($28) and Shu Uemura's Depsea Water ($25); she prefers those with little-to-no alcohol. Clinique's Moisture Surge ($22) has caffeine for added oomph, while others, like Tatcha's new Dewy Skin Mist ($48) and Amore Pacific's Moisture Bound Skin Energy ($35), are actually moisturizing enough to stand on their own, especially in the summer.rn
rnAre they necessary? Probably not. But a little extra hydration never hurts.

Navy Cyber Commander Addresses Midshipmen on Future of Cyber Security
Posted on: November 20, 2013 16:00 EST by Midshipman 3rd Class Alyson Eng
Vice Adm. Michael S. Rogers delivered a lecture to cyber security students as well as interested midshipmen and faculty about his role as commander of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command and the future of cyber capabilities in the fleet.
"In order to execute naval operations in this century, we must understand and operate in this domain and assume that others will contest us in the cyber environment," said Rogers. "Technology is here to stay. We can stick our heads in the sand and turn away from all kinds of digital technology or we can take calculated risks to enhance shipboard operations."
Since September 2011 when Rogers assumed his present duties as commander of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command and U.S. 10th Fleet, he has been tasked with the responsibility of building the Navy component of the joint dedicated cyber workforce.
The Department of Defense increased funding for fiscal year 2013 in three key areas – special forces, unmanned vehicles, and cyber. Rogers said that the Navy alone accounts for 1,850 of the 6,000 new employees planned to join the workforce this year. He emphasized the demand for technologically proficient naval officers and mentioned the possibility for change at the Naval Academy in terms of the cyber curriculum and service selection.
"If you have access to a keyboard, you are an operator, but you also represent a vulnerability," said Rogers.
Across the workforce, the Navy has concluded that a foundational understanding of cyber security is of significant operational importance. The United States Naval Academy is reflecting this emphasis on cyber competency to meet and enhance the capabilities of the Navy. Beginning with the class of 2015, all midshipmen are required to complete a two-course sequence in cyber security: Introduction to Cyber Security and Applications of Cyber Engineering.
Referencing the cases of Army Pfc. Bradley E. Manning and former NSA contractor Edward Snowden who both disclosed classified documents while taking advantage of their security clearances, Rogers noted that he has a great deal of respect for both the personnel that excel in the workplace as well as for those who decide they cannot live within the constraints of their position and leave the workplace with composure. In other words, breaching employment agreements and explicitly violating the Oath of Office is not a professional way to deal with operational dissatisfaction.
Rogers concluded his lecture with a sea story that every midshipman can reflect upon. Reminiscing on his NROTC days, he pulled from a conversation with his father about what the Oath of Office really means.
"A career in the U.S. Navy demands much of us as individuals. I have to not only be willing to give my own life but also to order the loss of life of others – not an easy decision as a leader," he said.
The Center for Cyber Security Studies at USNA presents lectures from both uniformed members of the Information Dominance Corps as well as civilian professionals in the field of cyber security.

After crashing in the foreign hills of a war-torn country, an injured American bomber pilot finds shelter in a farmer's barn. Unable to speak the local language, he is left with only the music on his iPod to communicate, and his fate—ransom, death or freedom—will be determined by the conflicting agendas of the farmer, his family and the local militia. Directed by third-year MFA directing student Brant Russell, David Greig's entertaining and emotive fable of a man falling from the sky illuminates how a simple connection between two people could be the key to our survival, and how often these connections are lost by our inability to rise above circumstance.
Presented through TIC's Masters-in-the-Making Series: see the great directors of tomorrow today!

One of the best ways to experience Goose Lake Prairie is to walk the trails. With seven and a half miles of walking trails, you will have ample opportunity for viewing the plants and animals that make the area unique.
Plan on a 30 minute or so stop at the visitor center, and you will enjoy your visit to Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area just a bit more. A video will acquaint you with the area, as will the center's nature displays. The park has a seasonal interpreter from April through August presenting different weekend programs, while multi-media presentations, lectures and guided hikes are also available for groups giving two-week notice. Groups of 25 or more need to get advance permission to enter the park from the site superintendent.
Adjacent to Goose Lake Prairie is the 2,000 acre Heidecke Lake, previously a cooling lake for Midwest Generation Collins Generating Station (now dismantled). The lake area is known as Heidecke State Fish and Wildlife Area.
The lake, which is managed by the state, offers excellent fishing and hunting for area sports persons. A boat launch is available only for those purposes. No water skiing, swimming, wading, sailboating or personal watercraft is allowed at Heidecke Lake. The boating access is open from 6 a.m. to sunset. The bank fishing access area is located on the east side of Heidecke Lake on Old Collins Road. Bank fishing access is open from 6:30 a.m. to sunset. Both areas are open seven days a week, weather permitting.

If you're a grandmother, you know it is hard to say "no" to a grandchild. So, when my six year-old granddaughter asked if she could have her seventh birthday party at my house, I told her I thought it would be fun. (Truth be told, I do enjoy children's parties.) I suggested a circus theme (I have all of the décor for that), but she was having none of that. She wanted a Lalaloopsy party! Do you know who Lalaloopsy is?
Meet one of many Lalaloopsy dolls. I do not know the name of each doll (although I hear the names frequently from my granddaughter.) These are very collectible if you are seven years old or younger. (Do you think my granddaughter is picking up my bad collecting habits?)
My granddaughter brought over all of her Lalaloopsies and the necessities that go with them (even though she said she would miss them overnight). That is when I realized that Lalaloopsies have BIG heads. They cannot sit or stand without something to support them, and even then, their heads might fall forward, causing them to take a nose dive onto the table.
Miniature Lalaloopsies aren't quite as difficult to pose.
One of them drove her convertible around the table top.
One of them guarded the lollipops (she didn't take her job very seriously though – the lollipops were quickly gone).
Another delivered lollipops in a cart behind her giant red horse.
Some brought their own houses with them (talk about making yourself at home)!
A few even rode a school bus to the party. (Some of my polka dot plates [Bistro Collection by Amici] fit right in to the party theme)
There are a lot of buttons and bright colors involved in a Lalaloopsy collection. You may have noticed that they all have button eyes and usually have buttons on their clothing.
My daughter-in-law drew circles on paper plates to make the button streamers on the doors. I have got to learn how to take pictures when the sun is shining behind what I'm photographing. Any hints?
Have you been to a children's party recently? It really is a lot of fun, and I didn't even mind that, after I worked to prop all of the dolls on the table, the girls grabbed them to play with (they did ask first). Thank you for stopping by to meet Lalaloopsy. laurie
Lalaloopsy is joining the fun at Let's Dish Wednesday at Cuisine Kathleen, Centerpiece Wednesday at The Style Sisters, and Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
