The Watertown City Council will wait until next week to act on a proposed agreement that will set up the Metropolitan Planning Organization designation.
Council members said Monday night that they need more information about the federal plan that would make the city and surrounding area an urbanized region. Council members want to know more about how the city will be affected by the designation.
I just think my colleagues have too many questions, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said before council members agreed to take up the plan at next Monday nights meeting.
The city, Jefferson County and the state Department of Transportation have to put together the planning organization by March 26. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will then sign it.
Both the city and Jefferson County must have the agreement in place by then or federal funding for CitiBus, the Watertown International Airport, road construction and other projects would be held up until the agreement was in place, city officials said.
After gathering information during its last survey, the U.S. Census Bureau declared the greater Watertown area which includes parts of Dexter, LeRay and Carthage and has a population of 57,840 an urbanized region.
The designation might affect federal funding and economic development, especially with public transportation and roads, according to city officials.
On Monday night, Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith said he was concerned the city could lose direct control over CitiBus, the city-run public transportation system.
Under the program, the greater Watertown area will have its own planning organization, which will be responsible for coordinating state and federal funding of highway and bridge projects and public transportation.

There's a lot of discussion about our aging population and its consquences on society? Today's hot topics, an aging population and a low birth rate, preoccupy many people, and are often presented as a vision of horror.
Will the job market, the health care system, and the wheels of government be able to cope with the mass retirement of baby-boomers, some of whom are now reaching their 60s?
If people under 65 only represent half instead of two thirds of the population, will they be able to respond to the needs of the elderly?
Instead of fearing for the future and seeing older people as a burden, why not look at things more positively? Babyboomers took action and lived the battles, and in doing so they changed the image of society. Why, then, should it be thought that they wouldn't live their retirement and older years with the same passion for liberty and independence?
Odds are that they will, for example, fight for the right to more dignity at the end of life and for better health care, and that they will advance many of the debates surrounding aging, such as the age of retirement.
More educated, more financially secure, and with a longer life expectancy than the previous generation, baby-boomers will probably remain actively involved much longer and the economy could benefit from their spending habits, most notably in the recreational market.
In short, there will be challenges to take up. But today's youth won't be acing them alone, and they will also benefit from the social changes brought about by their parents and grandparents.

Fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders have long admired Erin Wasson's paired-down personal style, as her look is unwaveringly cool and thoroughly uncontrived. We've always appreciated her wardrobe selections as well, primarily because she's adept at mixing edgy pieces and laidback basics in an incredibly appealing way. In short: she stands out from the neo-boho or prim-and-pretty pack. Now, the world at large can achieve a similar sexy-utilitarian style, with a little help from the supermodel-turned-stylist's first clothing collection-Erin Wasson x RVCA.
The line marks the start of a three-year collaboration between Wasson and RVCA (an amazing, arts-supporting, surf/skate/lifestyle brand) and is comprised of highly wearable pieces. There's a perfectly worn-in pair of boyfriend jeans done in bleached-out denim (crucial for spring), fashionably oversized tees and tanks, and tiny jean cutoffs, similar to the designer's own celebrated pairs. There's a perfectly proportioned blazer for the slightly more conservative buyer and an acid wash vest that will certainly appeal to the downtown customer. Rounding out the collection are a few nineties-inspired essentials, including a cropped black bustier with crisscrossing straps and a sweet little floral dress.
Wasson's own vintage collection and wardrobe favorites inspired many of these debut pieces. In her typical no-fuss style, she acknowledges that the items might not be revolutionary, but they will easily slip into anyone's wardrobe. "I can hardly call myself a "designer" really," she says. "It's a collection of certain pieces that we all love and adore-a pair of jeans, a tailored jacket-but it's very interchangeable, so you can wear everything together, in a million different ways."
Unlike some design partnerships, Wasson was thoroughly immersed in the creation of her line, from picking buttons to serving as the art director for the look book. Her hands-on involvement is clear; even the smallest details were elevated with thoughtful touches. Take, for example, the fact that Wasson enlisted two of her artist pals, Spencer Sweeney and Hisham Bharoocha, to create the artwork for the hangtags and jacket linings. By partaking in the process so intimately, Wasson successfully created a deeply personal collection, one that is certainly worth seeking out.
But enough back-story, dear readers, it is time to discuss the clothing particulars. Please read on for Wasson's words about what inspired the collection, as well as how she suggests styling each piece. The line will be available at LaGarconne in mid-February, as well as at Opening Ceremony, Barney's Co-op, and Ron Herman in Melrose and Malibu. -additional reporting by Madison Robbins
Black Heart Bustier ($175)
"This top is hot to trot," Wasson says. "It looks great with any of the denim shorts-just throw on a pair of Louboutins and go out dancing all night!" If you're not sure about wearing such about brief outfit, or just want to make it a little more formal, try the top with a pair of high-waisted dress shorts (for midriff coverage) or trousers and a blazer.
Hish Jean Shorts ($230)
"Denim cutoffs aren't complicated, but they can be so chic," Wasson says. "They're also unbelievably sexy!" She created two styles for spring-the Hish, seen above, and the Lover ($287)-both of which add a playful element to any outfit. To give the Hist an unexpected pop of color, Wasson added a Bharoocha-designed patch on the back of the shorts. She suggests wearing the cutoffs with the Unknown Legend Vest ($250).
Hard Nation Blazer ($250)
We're a little jaded about blazers, since there are so many on the market, but even we must admit that Wasson's version is something special. "From the front, it looks like a normal blazer, but in the back, you get a little pizzazz," she says. Lots of pizzazz, as it turns out! The jacket has a double zip up the back, so you can customize the look. That's not all: the blazer's lined with a lightening bolt print fabric (which is subtle, we swear), so if you decided to roll the cuffs, you'll get a little style flash!
Grateful Acid Wash Vest ($200)
Wasson wanted to riff on the traditional vest, which she certainly accomplished with her acid wash version! "It's my take on the three-piece suit," she explains. "Instead of wearing a proper vest and a pair of pants, you can throw on the acid wash-just to throw in a weird element." Personally, we appreciated its boldness and statement-making style: it's Givenchy meets Judas Priest.
EZ-E Tee ($50)
The inspiration behind Wasson's aptly named oversized t-shirt came from personal DIY experiments. "I used to buy a three-pack of Hanes t-shirts and would cut the v-neck out, so that it had a really raw edge," she says. Of course, the Erin Wasson x RVCA version is a little more luxe (it's made from pima cotton jersey) and tweaked for better style, like a stitch in the sleeve to give it a permanent roll.
Gin Soaked Jeans ($220)
As you probably know by now, the boyfriend jean is the must-have denim silhouette as of late, and Wasson's beautifully pale version looks super fresh right now. "I'd rock these with a blazer, or one of the tank tops and a beaded vest," Wasson says. In other words, either play up the androgynous angle or femme things up with an embellished waistcoat and a slightly bare shirt.
Enchanted Tank ($55)
"The proportions of this tank top are really cool," Wasson swears. "It's very long in front and short in back. You're totally covered, but when you turn around, there's one little section of your lower back that's peeping out." It's perfect for wearing with jeans, but also can work tucked into a body-con or high-waisted skirt. "It's up for interpretation," Wasson says. "You can wear it in a million different ways."
Sideshow Dress ($155)
Finally, we'll close with one of our (and Wasson's) favorite pieces: the Sideshow Dress. Part of the reason we adore this floral frock is because it might have the best muses ever. "The influence for this dress was the early nineties-Drew Barrymore, Empire Records, and grunge," Wasson says. "It's sort of my wild card in the collection, but the fit is really flattering on everybody." She wears hers with a destroyed pair of combat boots for a literal interpretation of the era's style and we wholeheartedly approve that choice!

Pain Management: Doctors Who Treat Pain
In this article
Pain specialists, or pain medicine doctors, are experts at diagnosing the cause of pain and then treating it. Anesthesiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons most frequently specialize in pain management. Some physiatrists also specialize in pain management. Here's more about these specialists:
- Anesthesiologists: These doctors are often the leaders of a team of other specialists and doctors who work together to help manage pain. The team may include orthopedists (doctors who deal with the prevention or correction of injuries or disorders of the bones and skeletal system), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical or rehabilitation therapists, and others.
- Neurologists: Doctors who diagnose and treat diseases of the nervous system.
- Neurosurgeons: Doctors who perform surgery on the nervous system.
- Rehabilitation physicians: Doctors who specialize in physical medicine, which is a branch of medicine that deals with the treatment, prevention, and diagnosis of disease by physical means including manipulation, massage, and exercise.
- Orthopedic surgeons
Things to Consider When Choosing a Pain Specialist
The following are some guidelines to consider when choosing a pain specialist. Select a doctor who:
- Is knowledgeable about pain and its treatments
- Listens well
- Seems honest and trustworthy
- Has a good reputation in the community
- Encourages you to ask questions and allows you to disagree
What to Expect When You See a Pain Specialist
A pain specialist will work closely with your primary care doctor to assess the cause of the pain and find appropriate treatment options. Most likely, the pain specialist will perform a complete physical exam. In addition, the doctor will ask you to describe the pain you are feeling in detail, explaining where it hurts, how long it has been hurting, and what worsens or alleviates the pain.
How Is Pain Treated?
Research has led to the development of newer, more effective treatments for people who have pain. Many techniques previously used specifically to make surgery and childbirth less painful now are being used to relieve other pain symptoms. Most kinds of pain have become treatable through methods including medications, nerve blocks, physical therapy, electrical stimulations, surgery, and psychological support.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advcoate publisher
The other day I heard that in some places in the country Shell Oil has gasoline stations where the gas pumps are interactive. Because of that they are taking a presidential poll, to see who is ahead.
Is that a good idea? I mean mixing gas and politics.
Okay, let's face it. If you really think about it, gas and politics have a lot in common. And it doesn't matter what kind of gas you are talking about.
But politics now seem to be all the same, regardless of whether it is grass roots or national.
Gas is energy in a raw form. Politics take a lot of energy. So let's look how they compare.
Politics often smell bad, but particularly in this election cycle.
While as a kid I liked the smell of gasoline I have since learned that putting your nose over the top of the spigot on a gas can not only can make you sick, it can kill you, either right away or over time from some dreaded disease that might crop up.
Politics does the same thing. It seems to be a smelly thing that over time could easily kill our country. Just look what politics have done.
In the last year we have two presidential candidates who have now amassed nearly $2 billion for advertising their points of view. By all estimates, when all is said and done by Nov. 6 (election day) there will be one million national campaign ads run on television within the bounds of our nation. Eighty percent of those will be negative ads.
The thing is, if you look at other kinds of gas (besides petrol as the British call it) they smell bad too. Natural gas from the ground doesn't smell until they put an additive into it so you can identify a gas leak.
I identify that kind of gas with more local elections. Many of them didn't smell near as much as national campaigns a few years ago. Now national campaigns have spilled over their stink and made these contests smell just as bad as the presidential election. Just look at the Matheson-Love contest. That is getting so bad that I am sure I can detect even a bit of other natural gas that is emitted from its activities. The stench is spreading everywhere.
That's another thing about gas. You can't contain it. The smell goes off into the air and everyone around can detect it, whether you want them to or not. That's just what has happened in the Fourth Congressional District race. The barrage of commercials has infected the whole body of the state. If you watch upstate television, you will smell it, even though we in Carbon County are now in the Second Congressional District.
That last fact should cause some gas pains among many who liked being in the Second District as it was before the Utah State Legislature redrew the boundaries last year. Now the Carbon area has more Utah county influence on it than ever, and for many here, that is a very foul smelling gas indeed.
Of course there are a lot of gases in the world, and some fresh oxygen in our political system would help a great deal. However, that fresh oxygen will only come from true change within the state, and it appears we in Carbon County will once again be trapped under a cloud of gas not of our own choosing.
What's the solution?
Maybe some laughing gas after election day would help in the short run.

The Bacon Center for the Study of Climate Displacement was established at Refugees International in August 2009 thanks to a generous financial contribution made by Ken & Darcy Bacon just before Mr. Bacon's death. The Center works to enhance understanding of the complex relationship between environmental degradation, natural disasters, climate change, and displacement, and to address the shortcomings in related legal, policy, and institutional frameworks. In assisting populations experiencing or at risk of climate-induced displacement, we have found that vulnerability to climate change is a function of a country's exposure to natural hazards such as floods, storms and droughts as well as underlying factors such as poverty, social injustice and weak government capacity to respond. Thus, most at risk are not only the world's poorest countries – such as Haiti and Bangladesh – but also its most conflict prone including Afghanistan, Burma, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Advocating for a more effective response to climate displacement is linked to other priority issues for RI, including strengthening the humanitarian response to natural disasters and UN peacekeeping efforts, improving the global response to neglected crises and internal displacement, and achieving citizenship for stateless people.
Today, more and more people are being forced from their homes by weather-related disasters, environmental degradation and changing climactic conditions. Over the past several decades, natural disasters have increased in force and frequency and are responsible for displacing over 36 million people in 2008 alone. In addition, growing water scarcity, desertification, and decreased agricultural output are causing more people to migrate to support livelihoods. Access to scarce natural resources has the potential to exacerbate conflict. The war in Darfur, for example, resulted partly from conflict over arable land that has diminished as the desert expands. In the future, climate change will increasingly harm some of the world's most vulnerable populations through greater weather variability, water scarcity, and severe environmental degradation.
The most dramatic impacts of climate-induced displacement, such as the complete submersion of island states like the Maldives, are many decades in the future. But today, increased displacement due to more frequent large-scale natural disasters is challenging an already stressed international humanitarian system. As recent floods in Pakistan and Colombia have showed, the current system is ill-prepared to effectively respond.

Aging changes in the lungs
The lungs have two main functions. One is to get oxygen from the air into the body. The other is to remove carbon dioxide from the body. Oxygen is needed by the body to work properly. Carbon dioxide is a waste gas the body produces when it uses oxygen.
During breathing, air enters and exits the lungs. When you breathe in (inhale), air flows through the airways into the lungs. The airways are made of stretchy tissue. Bands of muscle and other support tissue wrap each airway to help keep them open.
Air keeps flowing into the lungs until it fills tiny air sacs called alveoli. Blood circulates around these air sacs through tiny blood vessels. Oxygen crosses into the bloodstream at the place where the blood vessels and air sacs meet. This is also where carbon dioxide crosses from the bloodstream into the lungs to be breathed out (exhaled).
Aging Changes and Their Effects on the Lungs
Changes in bones and muscles of the chest and spine:
- Bones become thinner and change shape. This can change the shape of your ribcage. As a result, your ribcage is less able to expand and contract during breathing.
- The muscle that supports your breathing, the diaphragm, becomes weakened and may prevent you from inhaling and exhaling enough air.
These changes in your bones and muscles result in a lower oxygen level in the blood that supplies your body. Also, less carbon dioxide is removed from your body. Symptoms such as tiredness and shortness of breath can result.
Changes in lung tissue:
- Muscles and other tissues that are near your airways lose their ability to keep the airways completely open. This causes the airways to close easily.
- Aging also causes the alveoli to lose their shape and become baggy.
These changes in lung tissue can allow air to get trapped in your lungs. Not enough oxygen enters the capillaries and less carbon dioxide is removed. This makes breathing hard.
Changes in the nervous system:
- In older persons the part of the brain that controls breathing may lose some of its function. Your lungs are not able to get enough oxygen. And not enough carbon dioxide leaves the lungs. Breathing gets more difficult.
- Nerves in your airways that trigger coughing are not as sensitive as before to particles such as smoke or germs. Large amounts of particles can collect in the lungs and are hard to cough up.
Changes in the immune system:
- As you age, your immune system can get weaker. This means your body is less able to fight lung infections and other diseases.
- Your lungs are also less able to recover after exposure to smoke or other harmful particles.
Common Problems
As a result of these changes, older persons are at increased risk of:
- Lung infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis
- Shortness of breath
- Low oxygen level, which reduces the body's ability to fight diseases
- Abnormal breathing patterns, resulting in problems such as sleep apnea (episodes of stopped breathing during sleep)
To decrease the effects of aging on the lungs:
- Do not smoke. Smoking harms the lungs and speeds up aging of the lungs.
- Do physical exercise to improve lung function.
- Be up and about. Lying in bed or sitting for long periods allows mucus to collect in the lungs. This puts you at risk of lung infections. This is especially true right after surgery or when you are ill.
As You Grow Older, You Will Have Other Changes, Including:
- In organs, tissues, and cells
- In the bones, muscles, and joints
- In the heart and blood vessels
- In vital signs

As your plane slowly descends for its approach to Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta international airport, you can see a large number of large and small islands dotting the sea in the Bay of Jakarta. These are known as the Thousand Islands, or Kepulauan Seribu. In fact they are a cluster of 76 coral islands with more appearing and disappearing with the tide.
Located 45 km north from the city, this part of Jakarta offers a huge change in pace and experience from the hustle and bustle of the city, but is near enough for residents and visitors to enjoy the exhilarating marine environment within just one day excursion.
Here are diving, snorkeling and fishing opportunities, or just good for lazing in the sun with nothing to disturb one's mind except the chirping of birds amidst the gentle lapping of the waves.
The idyllic Thousand Islands are in fact a marine nature conservation area. Here are a wealth of sea biota species which form part of its coral reef ecosystem, there are 144 species of fish, 2 species of giant clam, sea worms of various colours and 17 species of coastal birds.
The Park is a hatching site for hawksbill turtles and green turtles. The hawksbill turtle is an endangered species, rarely found in other waters. They are primarily bred on the island of Pramuka. Most of the islands are ringed by coconut palms and mangrove forests, where iguanas, golden ring snakes and pythons can be found.
The islands of Pramuka, Semak Daun, Kelapa, and Panggang are interesting for turtle breeding, animals observations and marine tours, while for wreck diving the best places are at Pramuka, Opak and Karang Congkak. With Laga, Kotok, Gosong, and Koja Karang islands best for diving and snorkeling.

HIV and Injection Drug Use in the United States
Fast Facts
- HIV infections due to injection drug use have declined, but injecting drugs remains a significant risk.
- Sharing syringes is a direct route of HIV transmission.
- In one study, two out of five people who inject drugs and were diagnosed with HIV did not know they were infected.
The Numbers

- Sixty-three percent (1,942) of the 3,096 HIV diagnoses attributed to IDU in 2013 were among men. Thirty-seven percent (1,154) were among women.
- Forty-six percent (1,435) of all diagnoses of HIV infection attributed to IDU in 2013 were among African Americans, 28% (866) were among whites, and 21% (655) were among Hispanics/Latinos. American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders, and those of multiple races made up the remaining 5% of HIV diagnoses attributed to IDU in 2013.

Prevention Challenges
- The high-risk practice of sharing syringes and other injection equipment is common among PWID. HIV can be transmitted by sharing needles, syringes, or other injection equipment (e.g., cookers, rinse water, cotton) that were used by a person living with HIV. According to a CDC study of cities with high levels of HIV, approximately one-third of PWID reported sharing syringes and more than half reported sharing other injection equipment in the past 12 months.
- Some states have syringe services programs that provide new needles, syringes, and other injection equipment to reduce the risk of HIV. The North American Syringe Exchange Network has a directory of syringe services programs. If new needles and syringes are not available, cleaning used needles and syringes with bleach may reduce the risk of HIV.
- Use of injection drugs can reduce inhibitions and increase risk behaviors. These include not using a condom or taking preventive medicines (such as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP) as directed. In the study of cities with high levels of HIV, 72% of females who inject drugs reported having sex without a condom in the last year. People who inject drugs may also take part in risky sexual behaviors to get drugs or while under coercion.
- Young people (aged 15-30 years) who inject drugs have many of the same risk factors for HIV found in older PWID, including a significant risk of sexual HIV transmission among MSM who inject drugs and among PWID who exchanged sex for money or drugs. These findings suggest HIV prevention interventions for PWID should include sexual risk reduction as well as injection risk reduction.
- Injection drug use is often viewed as a criminal activity rather than a medical issue that requires counseling and rehabilitation. Stigma related to drug use may prevent PWID from seeking HIV testing, care, and treatment. Studies have shown that people treated for substance abuse are more likely to start and remain in HIV medical care, adopt safer behaviors, and take their HIV medications correctly than those not receiving such treatment.
- Social and economic factors affect access to HIV treatment. PWID are at especially high risk for getting and spreading HIV, but often have trouble getting medical treatment for HIV because of social issues. Almost two-thirds (65%) of PWID with HIV reported being homeless, 61% reported being incarcerated, and 44% reported having no health insurance in the last 12 months. Because of these issues, some providers may hesitate to prescribe HIV medications to PWID because they believe PWID will not take them correctly. Research has not supported these concerns—studies among people receiving HIV treatment have found similar rates of survival between people who don't inject drugs and people who do.
What CDC Is Doing
CDC and its partners are pursuing a High-Impact Prevention approach to advance the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), maximize the effectiveness of current HIV prevention methods, and improve what we know about the behaviors and risks faced by PWID. For example, CDC
- Provides funding for state and local health departments, including a 5-year, $339 million prevention initiative to provide HIV prevention services to at-risk populations, including PWID.
- Supports intervention programs that deliver services to PWID, such as PROMISE, which helps people move toward safer sex or risk reduction practices.
- Supports biomedical approaches to HIV prevention, including the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis medicines (PrEP). In 2013, CDC announced the findings that providing PrEP to PWID who are at very high risk of getting HIV may reduce their risk of contracting HIV. For PWID living with HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART) can improve health and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others.
- Publishes guidelines, including
- Integrated Prevention Services for HIV Infection, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis for Persons Who Use Drugs Illicitly for local and federal agencies, leaders and managers of prevention and treatment services, HIV treatment providers, social service providers, and prevention and treatment support groups.
- PreExposure Prophylaxis for the Prevention of HIV Infection in the United States – 2014, a Clinical Practice Guideline for HIV treatment providers that recommends the use of PrEP for people at substantial risk for contracting HIV, including PWID (with the US Public Health Service).
- Conducts surveys and HIV testing in cities with high levels of HIV among PWID to determine their risk, testing behaviors, and use of prevention services, and publishes reports to inform HIV prevention planning and evaluation at the local and national levels.
a New HIV infections refer to HIV incidence, or the number of people who are newly infected with HIV, regardless of whether they are aware of their infection.
b The terms male-to-male sexual contact and male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use (IDU) indicate behaviors that transmit HIV infection, not how individuals self-identify in terms of their sexuality.
c HIV and AIDS diagnoses refer to the number of people diagnosed with HIV infection (regardless of stage of infection) and the number of people diagnosed with AIDS, respectively, during a given time period. The terms do not indicate when the people were infected, but rather, when they were diagnosed.

|N.C. slack on traditional recycling
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 21 May 2007 03:47
North Carolina residents have shown little interest in improving traditional recycling habits, according to an analysis released last week by the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources.Collection of traditional recyclables such as aluminum cans and newspapers, was stagnant last year, even though overall recycling increased 4 percent. This rise may be attributed to increases in collection of scrap tires and yard waste, according to the Department. While North Carolina recycled 1.2 million tons of material, it threw away 11.7 million tons in 2006.

Selecting the right wine can be a daunting task when you're staring at an aisle of bottles. Fortunately, some wineries now use Microsoft Tag on their labels, allowing you to scan the Tag with your smartphone and instantly learn more about the wine, grapes, vintner, ratings, tasting notes, food pairings, and more.
With the wide selection of wines available today, 2D barcodes such as Tag also gives vintners an edge on the competition, enabling them to provide more information than a wine label or shelf space allows. Zero One Vintners was the first winery to adopt Tag. Its labels link readers to detailed information about each wine, including descriptions, winemaker, appellation, and vineyard, along with links to reviews, past vintages, and company details.
Zero One Vintners co-founder Kristin Vogele says it best: "Wine consumers are a passionate group that we think will be interested in real-time information about a wine they are considering. Giving our consumers the option to learn more about Zero One wine-making information while they are actually engaged in the shopping process will give us an edge when it comes to telling the Zero One story."
Bonterra, an organic winery, uses Tag on its bottles, advertising, and website to highlight its "Good Food Initiative" video, as well as provide information about its wines, vineyards, company, and cause.
A recent article in the North Bay Business Journal reports that several California vintners are putting social-media technology to good use, adopting tools such as Tag to expand their reach. Greg Gauthier of Bouchaine winery in Napa Valley says, "Over the years, many tools, digital and otherwise, have been developed to assist wine consumers in making purchasing decisions. We are embracing digital tagging technology because it allows us to put valuable decision-making information at your fingertips."
WineInfoTag is a site dedicated to helping vintners and wine sellers use Tag technology. One wine retailer quoted on the site says, "When a customer wants to know more about a wine, I don't have to worry about whether my staff is familiar with it. They just snap the WineInfoTag. Tasting notes, food pairings, and reviews are displayed instantly."
Tags could even be used to help customers submit an order right from their smartphone or link them to discounts for future purchases. The possibilities are endless.

Attorney: Arlene's Flowers protected under First Amendment
RICHLAND, Wash. -- Many are voicing their support and their disgust with the situation surrounding Arlene's Flowers. The state is now threatening to fine the Richland florist for denying bouquets to a gay customer. Now the ACLU has announced they are representing the gay couple as well.
As KEPR first reported Tuesday, the Attorney General's Office filed a lawsuit in Benton County Superior Court against Barronelle Stutzman, owner of Arlene's Flowers. It is seeking $2,000 in fines for every refusal of service based on sexual orientation.
There's really no middle ground on this issue. Either you support the decision by Arlene's Flowers or you don't.
Rose Mindermann supports the Richland florist's right to refuse flowers for a gay wedding.
"She didn't think there was anything that was going to come of it," Mindermann said.
Mindermann used to work with shop owner Barronelle Stutzman at her store on Lee Boulevard. She believes Barronelle can pick and choose her customers.
"She should have the right if you don't want to serve someone in your business because she has the sign you shouldn't have to," she said.
But the state says that's not the case when it comes to gay couples. Washington is now suing the Richland florist. The attorney general cites a 2006 state law that says you cannot refuse service based on someone's sexual orientation.
Barronelle did just that last month. She openly posted her decision on the shop's Facebook page citing her relationship with Jesus Christ as her reason for denying wedding flowers to a gay customer.
The story gained global traction when it was picked up by the Huffington Post. It made its way to Germany where a Richland native now lives. Shelby Van Voris says she was shocked and started a new Facebook page called Boycott Arlene's Flowers.
"We are simply giving people a forum to voice their concerns and also to connect with one another," Van Voris said.
She hopes she can make a difference even from another continent.
Action News visited Stutzman at her shop to get all sides, but she didn't want to talk on camera.
KEPR obtained the original letter sent to the owner of Arlene's Flowers by the Washington State Attorney General's Office. In what's known as an "Assurance of Discontinuance," the letter explains that store owner, Barronelle Stutzman, is in violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act for her decision to refused goods or services based on a consumer's sexual orientation.
Stutzman's retained an attorney from Snohomish, Wash. and responded to the Assistant Attorney General's letter. Attorney J.D. Bristol insists his client is not in violation of the Consumer Protection Act. He says Stutzman is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. He says, "The state cannot require a florist to express appreciation for, or acceptance of gay 'marriage' any more than the state can require a musician to write a song about it, or an artist to paint a picture."
It chalks this up to a first amendment protection and says she can't be forced to arrange flowers for a gay wedding just like a musician can't be forced to write a song.
Those who support the flower shop and Barronelle say this whole thing has spiraled out of control. They believe this story should have ended when the gay customer left the shop that day. Others they think this is just the beginning in the fight for equality.

The Carbon High softball team is trying to stop the errors and miscues which have hurt them in the early season preventing them from staying in games.
The Lady Dinos dropped two games in the past week including a 4-0 loss to Pine View and a 14-7 loss to Bountiful.
CHS head coach Kirt Nunley said the team allowed three unearned runs against Pine View in the fifth inning, breaking what had been a 0-0 game up to that point.
The Pine View pitching shut down the Carbon offense as they struck out 13 times while getting only four hits in the game.
Against Bountiful, Carbon allowed 11 runs in the first two innings before finally getting on the board in the fifth with two runs. The Lady Dinos added five more runs in the next two innings by stringing together a number of hits .
Nunley said his team is looking to play better as they will host their first home games of the season this week against Union (Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.) and against Park City (Thursday at 3:30 p.m.) at the Carbon High Softball Field.

Mitsui Chemicals Plans PP Compound Expansions in China, Thailand, and North America
April 24, 2008 | Deepti Ramesh
Mitsui Chemicals and its subsidiary Prime Polymer Co. (Tokyo) say they have decided to increase polypropylene (PP) compound production capacity in China, Mexico, Thailand, and the U.S. by a combined 73,000 m.t./year, taking total capacity to 375,000 m.t./year. The expansion in capacity is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. This move is in response to growing demand for PP-based automotive materials in Asia and North America, Mitsui says. The capacity expansion is in addition to a 15,000-m.t./year PP compounding plant that Mitsui is building at Neemrana...

The Starship vs. Spaceship Earth
Eric Steig & Ray Pierrehumbert
One of my (Eric's) favorite old books is The Starship and the Canoe by Kenneth Brower It's a 1970s book about a father (Freeman Dyson, theoretical physicist living in Princeton) and son (George Dyson, hippy kayaker living 90 ft up in a fir tree in British Columbia) that couldn't be more different, yet are strikingly similar in their originality and brilliance. I started out my career heading into astrophysics, and I'm also an avid sea kayaker and I grew up with the B.C. rainforest out my back door. So I think I have a sense of what drives these guys. Yet I've never understood how Freeman Dyson became such a climate contrarian and advocate for off-the-wall biogeoengineering solutions like carbon-eating trees, something we've written about before.
It turns out that Brower has wondered the same thing, and in a recent article in The Atlantic, he speculates on the answer. "How could someone as smart as Freeman Dyson," writes Brower, "be so wrong about climate change and other environmental concerns..?"
Brower goes through a number of possible explanations for the Dyson paradox, some easily dismissed (senility; he's a theoretician with no sense of practicality) some not so easily dismissed (he's only joking, don't take it seriously, he doesn't take it all that seriously himself). But in the end, for Brower, it seems to come down to two conspiring things about Dyson. The first is that Dyson has an abiding faith in the ability of technology to do anything we want it to. It's not surprising, then, that Dyson thinks we can 'fix climate' as well. That, in itself, makes Dyson not so much a "global warming skeptic" as an extreme techno-optimist. In fact, even leaving technology aside, he has a touching faith that whatever humans may do to the environment, it usually turns out for the best. In this essay, he writes:
"The natural ecology of England was uninterrupted and rather boring forest. Humans replaced the forest with an artificial landscape of grassland and moorland, fields and farms, with a much richer variety of plant and animal species. Quite recently, only about a thousand years ago, we introduced rabbits, a non-native species which had a profound effect on the ecology. Rabbits opened glades in the forest where flowering plants now flourish."
We daresay that the Australians have a somewhat less benign view of rabbits (as the New Zealanders do of possums). And that maybe Dyson has a thing or two to learn about the biodiversity of unmanaged ecosystems.

adempiere new release ?
Just tried to use the logistic features... at this stage Adempiere could be useful for a company having a simple logistic structure...such as a shop or something similar. Material Management flows are too poor and not adequate to manage a more complex logistic environment.
Haven't been able to install on Windows 8.1 nor Windows Server 2012 R2. Couldn't find a compatibility listing. I'll keep trying but I would've expected to see something obvious if there were incompatibilities with the latest versions of Windows. edit: Used ADempiere380, JDK 7.67 and PostgresSQL 9.3 and everything installed ok.
adempiere new release ?
I use this software. Thank you for your work.
Excellent ERP and moreover its free and opensource . Only problem is support , very slow active community forum .

I am one of those lucky people who gets to go home for lunch at least a couple of times a week. In doing so I make myself a sandwich and sit and watch the noon news. Or should I say the noon health report.
Maybe its just me but it seems because all these stations have found themselves competing with the 24 hour news cycle of CNN and FOX news they have to find things, new things, to fill up their newscasts. Those fillers often include reports about various health studies that have gone on. Some make sense, some are doozies.
I like the doozies. You know the studies that say things like "Blondes don't dye their hair blonde as much as people with other colored hair do" and "Overweight people generally eat more than thin people."
Okay those are silly studies, but some of the real ones are almost as bad.
For instance there was one about salt I saw last week. The health agencies say we should only eat about a teaspoon full of salt a day, yet most of us get many more times that. A study last week showed that almost everyone in the country eats more salt than they are supposed to. A given to be sure, but then they suggested ways to cut down on salt.
First don't eat any processed foods. This is a good reason to be a vegan because about the only thing you can eat that doesn't have any salt in it is celery and green peppers. Okay there are more, but for illustration purposes it gets pretty limited.
This statement made me look through the cupboards. Out go the Lays, Campbell's soup and the Oreos. In the fridge almost all the meat is processed in some way and the milk products (particularly cheese which they said is extra bad) needs to go. As I finished I realized there were only about three things that would be left if I cleaned the kitchen out.
And according to the report, you can't make up for the boring food you would be eating at home by going out either. They just stated plainly to not eat out. All restaurants use too much salt and we are overloading ourselves with sodium.
Well, of course they do. They are in business, and they want you to come back, so they want what they make to taste good and not seem like you are chewing on a wet old cereal box (which is also processed so you couldn't even eat those).
Not going out to eat would also collapse our economy and put a lot of people out of work.
And of course the report had a "workout" component to it too. They said exercise would reduce the salt in your body and would help you with your long term health in all ways.
Now I am not putting down workouts, but it seems to me that a hard workout should produce something more than just you wanting to take a nap in the middle of the morning after an early morning run on the treadmill.
I say work to workout. Our ancestors did it that way. They chopped wood, slopped the hogs, chased chickens around, herded the cows, plowed the fields while walking behind a pair of horses, etc. I always tell my friends that go to gyms that I have plenty of hard work to do around my couple of acres and they can come work out with me and they don't have to pay for it.
They never take me up on it though.
A story about my father kind of points out how I feel about all this stuff.
My dad lived to be 92, As a dairy farmer he worked long hours with physical labor being the main part of his every day job. He ate everything he wanted until he was about 70 and then having not been to a doctor for a long time he had a slight heart attack and they put him on a diet low in sodium and low in fat. Of course there was a drug regimen as well. He had a lot of discipline and stuck to that diet most of the time and lived another 22 years.
When he was 90 I took him out to lunch one day, just he and I. He ordered some real fatty thing from the menu and I pointed out that his doctor wouldn't approve. He really told me off.
"Hell Rick, I'm 90 years old," he said. "Why shouldn't I eat what I want? What's it gonna do, kill me? Let me enjoy what I have left while I can."
I guess you just have to put things in perspective sometimes. and my dad was always good about doing that.

Adam Jones is probably the Orioles' most recognized player in the national media. He now has a Gold Glove and an All Star Appearance to his name. But is he really all that he is made out to be?
-CF had 21 qualifying players at it's position.
-Some guys such as Josh Hamilton and John Jay did not play the entire 2011 season in CF, but I still counted them as qualifiers.
Here are Jones' stats and where he ranks off the 21 qualifying CF:
As seen above:
Jones is middle of the pack in PA, Doubles, K%, BABIP, wOBA, and WAR.
Jones is below the pack in BB%, and FLD
Jones is above the pack in HR, and SLG%
It's pretty evident that while Jones packs some power with his game, he also lacks the patience and on-base skills to truly put him on the level with players such as Curtis Granderson, Jacoby Ellsbury, Matt Kemp, and Andrew McCutchen.
Even though Jones comes off just as average based off the above rankings, it is important to remember that there are only 21 qualifiers. Based off the total league achievements, Jones is above average.
2012 will be a very important year for Jones. Can he take his game to the next level? Can he improve his patience and on-base skills enough to dramatically change his stats?
If Jones can do any of the above, he could be in line for a huge pay-day from the Orioles. He could also be a trade target if the Orioles deem him unnecessary of a new contract

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Protesters gathered in Michigan's state Capitol to fight right-to-work legislation began chanting "veto" when word spread the House approved a measure that would weaken union power in the historical labor stronghold.
Demonstrators gathered Tuesday in the rotunda chanted "no vet, no peace" and "the people united will never be defeated" after the House approved the first of two bills that would make Michigan the nation's 24th right-to-work state. The measure would ban requirements that nonunion employees pay unions for negotiating contracts and other services.
Hundreds of demonstrators earlier packed all four levels of the rotunda, chanting "Union!" and" What's disgusting? Union-busting!" They stomped their feet and banged together hard hats.
Following the vote, state troopers continued guarding House and Senate chamber entrances as protesters clogged the Capitol steps outside.
