Battery issue seen as best scenario for 787 comeback, Bloomberg says
U.S. officials and Boeing (BA) are analyzing the possibility that defective batteries from the same batch may have caused the failures and that the flaws are limited to a small number of 787s, thereby eliminating the idea of a systematic design or manufacturing fault, says Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the situation.

Stocks end week lower as biotechs sink, Volkswagen crashes
Stocks ended the week lower after concerns about drug prices were reignited, sinking biotech stocks, an emissions scandal engulfed Volkswagen (VLKAY), dragging down shares of automakers and their suppliers, and Caterpillar (CAT) announced that it may eliminate as many as 10,000 jobs in the next three years as commodity prices continue to slump. MACRO NEWS: Following the Federal Reserve's decision last week to wait before raising rates, the central bank made a concerted effort to give the market more clarity this week. Over last weekend, three Federal Reserve officials - San Francisco Fed President John Williams, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker - all argued that an interest-rate increase is still warranted this year. Then, on Thursday night, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said during a speech at UMass Amherst that the central bank remains inclined to hike rates this year. Yellen's remarks were incrementally hawkish, but welcomed by the market, since they helped clarify the message the Fed delivered a week ago... In the U.S., Markit's flash manufacturing purchasing manager's index was flat at 53.0 in September, which was slightly better than the expectation for it to dip to 52.8. Durable goods orders for August declined 2.0%, versus expectations for a drop of 2.3%. When transportation items were removed, the core reading was breakeven, versus expectations for a rise of 0.1%. The third estimate of second quarter GDP showed the economy grew 3.9% quarter-over-quarter, versus expectations for the GDP growth estimate to stay at 3.7%. Personal consumption in Q2 is now believed to have grown 3.6%, up from the prior estimate of 3.1%. The final University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading for September came in at 87.2, which was down from August's 91.9 but above the expected 86.2 reading... The Asian Development Bank cut its growth forecast for the region, citing a weaker outlook for China and India and a delayed recovery in the world's advanced economies. The bank now sees the Chinese economy growing 6.8% this year and 6.7% next year, down from its previous forecasts of 7.2% and 7%, respectively. Markit's flash manufacturing PMI for China fell to 47.0 in September from 47.3 last month. Meanwhile, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe unveiled new economic targets, including a goal for a 20% increase in the target size of the Japanese economy to 600T yen, though he gave no timeframe for achieving this aspiration... In Europe, Markit's composite PMI for the eurozone came in at 53.9 in the first look for September, down from 54.3 in August and below expectations for a reading of 54.1. COMPANY NEWS: Biotech stocks declined after privately-held Turing Pharmaceuticals made headlines by enacting a 5,000% price increase on its treatment for toxoplasmosis, reigniting a debate around drug prices that previously embroiled costly Hepatitis C drugs including AbbVie's (ABBV) Viekira Pak and Gilead's (GILD) Sovaldi and Harvoni. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sent the debate to center stage by criticizing the "outrageous" prices of specialty drugs and laying out a plan to tackle "price gouging" in the specialty drug market. The NASDAQ Biotechnology index fell roughly xxx% for the week amid the attention paid to Turing's drug and Clinton's response... Volkswagen (VLKAY) shares trading in New York fell sharply to begin the week and ended the week far from where they'd been last Friday before the EPA said it found manipulations that violate U.S. environmental standards while testing certain of the automaker's diesel cars. The EPA said Volkswagen may face civil penalties of $37,500 for each vehicle not in compliance with federal clean air rules, which could total as much as $18B, according to Reuters. In the wake of the scandal, Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn resigned, with the company's supervisory board subsequently praising the decision and selecting Matthias Mueller, the former head of Porsche (POAHY), as Winterkorn's successor as the company's new CEO... Caterpillar (CAT) shares dropped after the heavy machinery maker announced plans for job cuts and lowered its revenue guidance for this year and next. Caterpillar said that it would lay off 4,000-5,000 of its employees between now and the end of 2016 and could lay off up to 10,000 employees by 2018. Caterpillar cut its fiscal year 2015 revenue forecast by $1B and said its sees its fiscal year 2016 revenue to be 5% below this year, adding that it expects revenue declines in all three large segments next year... Online and mobile deal provider Groupon (GRPN) said it plans to cut 1,100 jobs relating primarily to the company's international operations... Nike jumped after the athletic gear giant reported better than expected earnings and futures orders, prompting numerous price target hikes and at least one upgrade at Street research firms. Among other companies reporting earnings this week, BlackBerry (BBRY), ConAgra (CAG), Carnival (CCL), and CarMax (KMX) fell immediately following their quarterly reports... Apple (AAPL), which has previously been reported to be working on an electric car via its "Project Titan," is speeding up those efforts and setting 2019 as a target to ship its first vehicle, according to The Wall Street Journal... Against the backdrop of China's President Xi Jinping visiting the U.S., Boeing (BA) announced deals to sell 300 planes to three Chinese companies and set up an aircraft factory in in the Asian nation, while Cisco (CSCO) announced a partnership with Chinese server maker Inspur Group... Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs (GS) Chairman and CEO, disclosed that he was diagnosed with lymphoma. "Fortunately, my form of lymphoma is highly curable and my doctors' and my own expectation is that I will be cured," Blankfein stated in an open letter that was shared by the bank... GoPro (GPRO) finished the week about xxx% lower after Barron's contended in a feature article last weekend that the company's stock could plunge another 30% to $25 as Apple, Sony (SNE) and others pressure the company's "one-hit wonder" products... On the M&A front, Atmel (ATML) agreed to be acquired by German chipmaker Dialog Semiconductor in a deal valued at roughly $4.6B and Starwood Waypoint (SWAY) announced a stock-for-stock merger agreement with Colony American Homes. INDEXES: The Dow lost about 0.43% to close at 16,314.67, the S&P 500 fell about 1.35% to close at 1,931.34, and the Nasdaq declined about 2.89% to close at 4,686.50.

Market overly negative on Aerojet Rocketdyne, says Oppenheimer
After Boeing (BA) rejected an unsolicited offer from Aerojet Rocketdyne (AJRD) for United Launch Alliance, a 50/50 joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin (LMT), Oppenheimer thinks the market's reaction to the news ignores Aerojet's positive catalysts. The firm says that the news will not impact Aerojet's operations until 2019 and will probably not have an impact of more than about $115M. The firm keeps a $26 price target and Outperform rating on Aerojet.

On The Fly: Top stock stories for Wednesday
Stocks began the day in quiet fashion and remained that way during the first hour of trading. Following the release of the weekly energy inventory report, the averages moved lower and looked to be possibly setting up for another selloff. Positive comments on China's economy by its President, who is visiting the U.S., brought out buyers, who pared the market's losses. The averages finished slightly in the red in a day marked by low volume as a number of market participants may have been absent in observance of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., Markit's flash manufacturing purchasing manager's index was flat at 53.0 in September, which was slightly better than the expectation for it to dip to 52.8. EIA inventory data showed a 1.93M barrel fall in crude oil inventories, versus expectations for a weekly drawdown of 1.25M barrels. In China, Markit's flash manufacturing PMI fell to 47.0 in September from 47.3 last month. In Europe, Markit's composite PMI for the eurozone came in at 53.9 in the first look for September, down from 54.3 in August and below expectations for a reading of 54.1. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Volkswagen (VLKAY) trading in New York rebounded 6.5% to $27.10 following the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn, with the company's supervisory board subsequently praising the decision and saying it will consider his replacement at a meeting Friday. Prior to the CEO change news, the stock was downgraded at research firms JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Natixis to hold or equivalent ratings this morning. Accounting for today's advance, U.S.-listed shares of Volkwagen are still down nearly 29% since last Friday, when the EPA publicly accused the automaker of equipping certain diesel cars sold in the U.S. with software that circumvented emissions standards... Against the backdrop of China's President Xi Jinping visiting the U.S., Boeing (BA) announced deals to sell 300 planes to three Chinese companies and set up an aircraft factory in China. The deals are possibly worth tens of billions of dollars in total and represent the largest total order the planemaker has received from Chinese companies, according to Reuters. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Cisco (CSCO) plans to announce a partnership with Chinese server maker Inspur Group during President Xi Jinping's visit. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was First Niagara (FNFG), which advanced $1.30, or 14.5%, to $10.26 following a Bloomberg report that the company is exploring a sale. DealReporter noted that potential suitors include Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and New York Community Bancorp (NYCB). BioMed Realty (BMR) gained $2.36, or 12.3%, to $21.54 after Bloomberg reported that the company is in talks to sell itself and has attracted attention from firms including Blackstone (BX). Heron Therapeutics (HRTX) rose $7.25, or 21.6%, to $40.81 after announcing that its Phase 2 study of HTX-011 for post-operative pain met its primary endpoint. Shares of a competitor Pacira (PCRX) declined 7.65% after the news, with several analysts remarking that Heron's data compares favorably versus Pacira's Exparel drug. Summit Midstream Partners (SMLP) declined $3.90, or 18.2%, to $17.52 following a Bloomberg report that Energy Capital Partners is seeking to sell its stake in the company. Synchronoss (SNCR) fell 10.75% to $33.37 after research firm Baird said it has become "increasingly concerned" that Verizon (VZ) is "no longer fully committed" to the white-label cloud product it offers in conjunction with the cloud services provider. INDEXES: The Dow fell 50.58, or 0.31%, to 16,279.89, the Nasdaq lost 3.98, or 0.08%, to 4,752.74, and the S&P 500 declined 3.98, or 0.2%, to 1,938.76.

POTSDAM Town Court clerk Mary Jo E. Guyette has been suspended with pay as the town board investigates whether money was misappropriated, according to town board members.
Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan confirmed that an investigation by the state comptrollers office is underway, but declined to comment further.
I cannot make any comments. We have a practice that we never comment on individual personnel issues, she said.
The suspension was done quietly. The town council did not vote to suspend Ms. Guyette or to begin an investigation, and no information was made available to the public.
If the suspension had been an action taken by the town board, the law would require the decision to be made public in meeting minutes.
The state Freedom of Information Law mandates that the names of suspended public employees and the reason for the suspension should be public information, according to the state Committee on Open Government.
Many details were unavailable Friday, such as when the matter surfaced, the amount of money in question or what happened to the funds. The date of Ms. Guyettes suspension has not been disclosed.
Town Councilwoman Judith R. Rich said she cannot share any details until the investigation is further along.
Its a touchy situation, and it has yet to be resolved, so I guess I have no comment, she said. Its fluid right now. I wouldnt say anything against anybody until things are resolved.
No criminal charges have been filed.
Several attempts to reach Ms. Guyette for comment were unsuccessful.
According to Councilwoman Rosemaria Rivezzi, the decision to pay Ms. Guyette during her suspension was made because the court clerk is innocent until proven guilty.
Shes presumed innocent. We will look into it until we find out what actually happened, she said. Im sure the boards intention would be to find out the truth and to be fair to her.
As a town employee, Ms. Guyette is a member of the Teamsters Union Local 687. The towns agreement with the union stipulates that employees can be suspended with just cause.
Employees do not have to be paid during a suspension, but if it is found that suspension was unjustified, the employee will be owed back pay for the time lost.
The court clerk is responsible for the administrative duties at the court, including collecting fines and surcharges, managing the paperwork and paying the bills.

The New York Times announced on Wednesday that it will attempt to sell its New England Media Group for the second time in four years. The Times bought the subsidiary — which includes the Boston Globe and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette along with BostonGlobe.com, Boston.com, Telegram.com, and GlobeDirect (the Globe's direct mail marketing company) — for $1.1 billion in 1993. If the Times is able to find a buyer for the package, it will be lucky to get $200 million, according to analyst John Janedis of UBS.
This continues the Times' efforts to shed assets in light of the continuing revolution in news delivery from print to digital. In the last few years it has sold its stake in newspapers in Florida and California along with its interest in the Boston Red Sox and the website About.com.
Mark Thompson, the brand new CEO at the Times, put a happy face on the move:
Our plan to sell the New England Media Group demonstrates our commitment to concentrate our strategic focus and investment on The New York Times brand and its journalism.
[We are] proud of our association with the Globe [but] given the differences between these businesses and The New York Times, we believe that a sale is in the best long term interests of these properties and the employees who work for them as well as in the best interests of our shareholders.
Those shareholders have been suffering of late, watching the value of the Times' stock drop from over $20 a share in 2007 to under $9 currently. This reflects the sagging operations of the Times, with its revenues declining from $3 billion in 2008 to less than $2 billion in 2012, and its earnings per share being positive in only two of the last five years, mostly reflecting the sale of assets.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — "It's Global Warming, Stupid" screams a huge Bloomberg BusinessWeek cover. But that was a month ago, right after Hurricane Sandy.
Today America's short attention span shifted again. We're hot for Christmas shopping. Parties. Caroling. All that stuff that keeps our great consumer economy humming along, especially in the other 99% of America not directly hit like New York and New Jersey.
Yes, folks, America has a new inconvenient truth — we are all capitalists first. And our love of the environment quickly becomes a distant second in this economic war, especially when Santa's singing "Sleigh Bells Ring" and we compare buying new toys for the kids this holiday versus paying the $29 billion estimated cost of building levees and dikes to keep Manhattan from sinking into the Atlantic Ocean around 2050.
No comparison: One gets lip service, the other goes under the tree.
Bloomberg's editorialist Paul Barrett highlighted this imbalance between short-term and long-term thinking in a review of David Owen's new book, "The Conundrum": "As long as the West places high and unquestioning value on economic growth and consumer gratification — with China and the rest of the developing world right behind — we will continue to burn the fossil fuels whose emissions trap heat in the atmosphere."
Yes, it seems clear that capitalists are winning the war against the environment. And, yes, they will destroy the American economy soon and the global environment later. But for now, let's have fun ... shop ... party ... listen to endless, distracting "ho-ho-hos" ... as sleigh bells ringle ... and cash registers jingle.
Super rich, rich, middle class or poor ... all Americans are capitalists
Suddenly, I got a wake-up call, a shocker, mega-epiphany: I was re-reading the new 50th anniversary edition of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," that 1962 book that launched the environmental movement ... it suddenly hit me ... we really are all capitalists ... having a powerful impact on the world economy ... and, get this, we cannot stop destroying the planet with our consumer-driven economy.
Not just Exxon-Mobile and the Koch Brothers, but we are all capitalists now, everyone ... the rich, the middle-class and even the poor, all capitalists ... billionaires Bill and Melinda Gates and the subsistence African farmers they help ... Nobelist Muhammad Yunnus, the Bangladesh banker, plus the women entrepreneurs he funds with microloans ... the agricultural giants hiring migrant workers as well as their undocumented high school kids who want a better life ... they're all capitalists ... all want to work their way out of poverty ... all want to live their version of the American Dream.
Behavioral science reveals a psychological bias favors capitalism
Get it? You don't have to be wealthy or conservative, we're all capitalists. We're all driven by the "Invisible Hand" Adam Smith originally identified, the same spark Ayn Rand said makes America successful: "Capitalism is the only system that can make freedom, individuality, and the pursuit of values possible in practice because capitalism demands the best of every man ... and rewards him accordingly ... free to choose the work he likes ... to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him."
More important, people everywhere want their version of the American Dream, which is a perfect metaphor for the Smith/Rand ideal of capitalism: We all want to improve our own lot in life ... see progress ... make more money ... own more nice things ... all want to create a better lifestyle, a better world for ourselves, for our children, for future generations.
Yes, this American Dream is deeply imbedded in our DNA: Deep in our hearts, minds and souls. Yes, all Americans are capitalists. When we make economic choices ... when the brain must choose between getting personally richer or saving the environment ... then we realize we are biased toward short-term self-interest. Behavioral economists tell us that our capitalist brains will choose more money now versus saving the environment for later.
Still not sure? Don't believe we are all capitalists first and environmentalists second? Let's begin with a look at former Vice President Al Gore's metamorphosis from the world's best-known environmentalist to a Super-Rich capitalist in less than a decade. Then we'll review the other types of American personalities who appear to have more of a short-term capitalistic bias than a long-term drive to protect the environment:
1. Environmentalist Al Gore converts to Super-Rich capitalist
Yes, former Vice President did capitalize big-time on his trifecta win — Nobel Peace Prize, Best Documentary Oscar and Grammy — to became a Super-Rich venture capitalist, all based on his "An Inconvenient Truth" book, lectures and documentary warning of the negative impact of capitalism on the environment, global warming, climate change.

"The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?
Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people.
We know the sap that courses through the trees as we know the blood that courses through our veins. We are part of the earth as it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadow, the body heat of the pony, and man, all belong to the same family.
The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each ghostly reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tell of events and memories in the life of my people. The waters murmur is the voice of my fathers father.
The rivers are our brothers. They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give to any brother.
If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last sigh. The wind also gives our children the spirit of life. So if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers.
Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.
This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
One thing we know; our God is your God. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is it to say good-bye to the swift pony and hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.
When the last Red Man has vanished with his wilderness and his memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across a prairie, will these shores and forests still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of my people left?
We love this earth as a newborn loves its mothers heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. care for it as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. Preserve the land for all children and love it, as God loves us all.
As we are part of the land, you too are part of the land. This earth is precious to us. It is also precious to you. One thing we know: there is only one God. No man, be he Red Man or White Man, can be apart. We are brothers after all."
-- Chief Seattle, in a letter to the President in 1852

Seismologists push for better quake warning systems
SEATTLE -- There's a new push by seismologists on the West Coast to beef up early warning systems for earthquakes.
The biggest hurdle in getting it done: money.
Scientists say a speedier, more sophisticated system could alert us to an on-coming quake, possibly minutes before the strongest shaking hits. These warnings would pop up on our computers at work or home, maybe even on our smart phones, and tell us to take cover and brace ourselves.
According to experts, the terror that struck Japan is a shocking reminder of the vulnerabilities we face here along the West Coast. But Japan's preparations are much more advanced with high-tech systems that gives millions a heads-up that an earthquake is on the way.
"The countries that have early-warning systems today, largely built them after large, killer earthquakes. So it's our hope that it doesn't take a killer earthquake in the U.S. to realize this system," said Doug Given of U.S. Geological Survey.
The Northwest should worry. We sit on top of the Cascadia Subduction Zone with the Juan de Fuca plate plowing underneath the North American plate.
One day the energy building along that fault line will explode again, possibly with a massive quake measuring magnitude-9.0 or stronger.
Scientists say the first seismic waves generated by earthquakes are less destructive p-waves. These waves are said to bring in the first wave of energy, and cause very little shaking. But they're also known to contain information about the earthquakes.
The p-waves travel through the Earth's crust faster than s-waves, the ones that cause much greater damage. The biggest jolts come at the very end.
By detecting those initial p-waves with a dense network of sensors, warnings can be issued. It might not be a lot of time, maybe 20 seconds to a few minutes before the warnings sound.
"If you get the warning that the shaking's about to come and you're ready for it, you're going to be much better prepared to withstand what's going to come than instead of everything shaking and falling on top of you," said Richard Allen of the University of California, Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.
Earthquake scientists meeting at UC Berkeley say money is needed to update our nation's system, probably tens of millions of dollars.
"This system is cost-effective; it doesn't cost that much in the grand scheme of things," said Given. "And we ought to move forward with it. But we need the will on the part of the federal government to make the funding happen."
The Northwest has other fault lines. But the Cascadia Subduction Zone is getting plenty of attention, because it can produce huge earthquakes such as the one in Japan. There are seismic similarities. The last time it erupted was in the year 1700.

A Book in a Month
Written by:BookLetters
November is National Novel Writing Month, or "NaNoWriMo." This national writing project challenges authors and aspiring authors to write a novel--50,000 words--in just one month. Other than participating in the project, the only better way to celebrate the occasion is by reading a success story, such as The Night Circus. Erin Morgenstern's epic debut novel began as a manuscript after a month of writing and became one of the biggest fiction titles published this fall. It's a captivating, fantastical tale of a traveling circus and two magicians pitted against one another. With forbidden love and imaginative descriptions, The Night Circus could just be the book to inspire you to write your own best-selling story.

BRASHER FALLS - The Tri-Town Timberwolves PeeWees didnt have a long time to celebrate winning the New York State Tier III 12U championship last weekend in Amherst.
The team is already headed to the USA Hockey National Tier III Championships in Shelton, Connecticut where it is slated to make its debut this evening against the New Hampshire state champions starting at 5:30 p.m.
We had a great weekend at states. The kids played well in all the games and theyre pretty excited about this weekend, said coach Chris Rose after the Timberwolves set their sights on a national title after dominating the competition at the state Tier III tournament where they opened with a 6-1 win over Niagara County before skating to a 7-1 decision over Palisades and rallying for a 4-3 decision over Onondaga in their final preliminary round matchup.
In the semi-finals Sunday morning, the Timberwolves overwhelmed Genesee-Batavia 5-0 to earn a bid to the championship game where they turned back Palisades 4-1.
Timberwolves 6, Niagara 1: The Timberwolves set the tone for their championship weekend right away, building a 4-0 lead in the first period en route to downing Niagara County.
Will Arquiett led a balanced offense with two goals and an assist. Andrew Lantry added a goal and two assists. Wyatte Roberts (1 assist), Colby Jenkinson and Drew Rose each struck for solo goals while Payton Felix and Kaleb Rathbun both logged solo assists. Rico DiMatteo worked the crease for the first of his five wins over the course of the weekend.
Timberwolves 7, Palisades 1: In their second game of the tournament, the Timberwolves opened a 1-0 lead by the first intermission then broke the game open with a four-goal outburst in the second.
Rose led the way with three goals and two assists. Arquiett struck for a pair of goals while Sam Lyon and Felix connected for the others and Lantry notched a pair of assists.
Timberwolves 4, Onondaga 3: The Timberwolves fell behind 3-1 before rallying for the win.
Roberts netted the first Tri-Town goal off an assist from Rose. Lantry scored the second assisted by Rose and Noah Adams. Eli Kocsis netted the tying goal from Arquiett and Lantry with 12:12 left in regulation. Rose finished off a play set up by Arquiett and Lantry for the eventual game-winner just over three minutes later to complete the comeback victory.
Timberwolves 5, Genesee-Batavia 0: In their Sunday morning semi-final, Rose got the only goal Tri-Town would need at 8:45 of the first period then made it 2-0 midway through the second. Roberts scored the third goal of the game off an assist from Lantry then tipped in a shot from Kocsis just over a minute later to push the lead to 4-0.
Lantry closed out the scoring off an assist from Colby Jenkinson in the third period.
DiMatteo worked the crease for the win, stopping a penalty shot to help preserve the shutout.
Timberwolves 4, Palisades 1: The championship game Sunday afternoon was a rematch of a preliminary round game which saw the Timberwolves work their way to a 3-1 lead before surviving a wild finish.
Rose opened the scoring when he converted on a long clearing pass from DiMatteo for the only goal of the first period. Arquiett made it 2-0 by finishing off a play set up by Roberts and Kocsis with 5:52 left in the middle frame. Lantry pushed the lead to three goals just over two minutes when he drilled home the rebound of his own shot after having been knocked down to his knees by a Palisades defender.
The Predators got on the board when Luke Morris scored a power play goal off an assist from Brett Hanson with 5:15 left in regulation. Two minutes later, the Predators had a chance to make it a one-goal game when then were awarded a penalty shot after a Tri-Town player covered a loose puck in the crease with his hand. DiMatteo denied the Palisades shooter and the Timberwolves went on to put the game out of reach when Lantry tallied an empty-net goal assisted by Arquiett and Rose with 50 seconds left.
Other team members who contributed througout the weekend were Trent Dow, Jarrett St. Hilaire, Evan Lantry and Michael Meddings while Chris Dow and Jim Green served as assistant coaches.
After making their debut this evening at the national tournament, the Timberwolves return to the ice Saturday to take on the NRI Vikings of Rhode Island at 12:30 p.m. before closing out the preliminary round Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. against the Belmont Marauders of Massachusetts. The other four-team division consists of teams from Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and another from Massachusetts. The top two teams from each division advance to the Sunday morning semi-finals at 9 a.m. The national Tier III Championship Game is slated to face-off at 3 p.m.
This years Timberwolves PeeWee team includes several players who were making their third straight appearance in the state final before finally breaking through for top honors. Another handful of players were on last years Timberwolves Squirt team which won the state 10U championship and went on to capture the USA Hockey Northeast Regional Tournament title.

Finish Nailer Face-Off: We Test the Top 10
When it comes to sunlight, it's what you can't see that hurts you. The infrared spectrum is the invisible portion of light that makes you feel like you're being cooked. Then there's ultraviolet radiation, which makes up just a tiny portion of the spectrum but is what gives you a sunburn.
The physics at work in sunlight may be complex, but the solution is age-old and simple: shade. It's simple to make, and it's easy to take care of. Most important, it works to protect you from the damaging effects of sunlight while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors. When it comes to rigging up a little relief from the hot sun this summer, you've got a number of options for the home and the backyard. Here's what you need to know to have it made. Where else? In the shade.
Shaped like a sail and stretched among poles or from a house's fascia or roof bracket to a pole, a shade sail is as much an architectural design element as it is a shade structure.
Need to know: You can install it yourself, but it requires some construction skill. For instance, you need to be able to form and place concrete to erect the pole to which the sail will stretch.
Cost: $70 to $200 per sail, plus the cost of stainless steel hardware, concrete, poles and building materials.

Are there any other players more frustrating than these two? Reynolds seems to be figuring it out at the plate but he is an embarrassment at 3B. Markakis has been playing good defense in right but looks horrible at the plate. He leads the league in double plays and he would've had a 2nd one turned on him tonight but Michael Young couldn't make a tough play to finish it off.
How much longer until they do something at 3B? Betemit looks horrible at 3B too but he at least looks good at the plate. Will they start playing Flaherty more? Do they just keep it the way it is and hope that Roberts can play 2B and then put Andino at 3B? Do they really think Tejada is going to be the answer?
How much longer until they move Markakis out of the 3 spot? Do they bat him there until he starts hitting? What if he doesn't? JJ seems to be hitting now and that makes Markakis' struggles even more damaging. When Reimold and Roberts (if he ever does) come back what happens with the top of the order? Will Buck actually make the line up based on who is performing and who isn't or will he keep Markakis batting 3rd even if he continues to struggle?
3B, the batting order, and two starters are the four things this team needs to figure out if they want to continue the early success and have a serious shot at the playoffs. Also, they may need to worry about Chen as it starts to heat up but he's been good so far so let's cross that bridge if we get there.

GREEN BAY — Another group of lake sturgeon is enjoying their new home this week after Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources staff transported them from below the Shawano dam on the Wolf River to Keshena Falls on the Menominee Indian Reservation.
This wraps up the second year of a 10-year cooperative agreement between the Menominee and the DNR to help restore the sturgeon population in a stretch of the river that was historically one of the larger spawning sites. When dams went in downstream, it prevented the sturgeon from reaching the spawning site.
This week, 35 sturgeon were brought to a small inlet near Keshena Falls where, one-by-one, biologists implanted transmitters and then released them. The movement of the fish can then be tracked using a sonar system along the river.
More on sturgeon season: More headlines and video | Tweets collected during the season | Browse photos from the 2013 season | Browse photos from the 2012 season | Share your sturgeon photos | Watch cameras on the Wolf River | Watch cameras positioned in Stockbridge
Biologists say the efforts to re-introduce sturgeon appear to be working.
Last spring we saw evidence of natural spawning occurring just below the falls and we expect to see it again this year, explained Ryan Koenigs, DNR fisheries biologist. Working with the Menominee Tribe on this project has been a very rewarding experience for not only us, but for the tribe which has a spiritual and cultural connection with these fish.
In 1993, DNR staff and the Menominee Tribe began restoring the sturgeon population. Fish transfers, like the one done this week, were conducted from 1995 through 2006 when the deadly viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) was found in Lake Winnebago and put an end to all fish transfers. It wasnt until 2010 when it was discovered VHS doesnt affect sturgeon that the transfer operations were reinstated. Tribal law prohibits any person, tribal or non-tribal, from harvesting lake sturgeon from the Wolf River within the Reservation.

Uranium Mining at the Grand Canyon; Gearing up for RIO+20; Mother Earth Rights & The Threat of Toxic Terror at HomeApril 26th, 2011
The Interior Department decides this summer whether or not it will allow uranium mining near the Grand Canyon. Joining host Daphne Wysham to discuss the pre-Fukushima boom in uranium mining by foreign companies is Lauren Pagel, the policy director of EarthWorks. To express your opinion on the mining for uranium in and around the Grand Canyon, click here.
A 'honking big global Earth summit' is coming our way next year, that's according to Jim Thomas of the ETC Group. Jim says bankers and corporations are already jockeying for position at the upcoming UN Rio+20 Summit. His recent commentary can be found at Grist.org. But also preparing are activists like India's Vandana Shiva. We'll hear part of Vandana's comments on Rio+20 at a UN conference earlier this month. The video from the UN Conference is available.

Huntsman Students and Graduates Create One-Stop Shopping for Political Junkies
By Steve Eaton
The world of presidential politics can be very unpredictable, with hourly changes dropping or boosting a candidate's fortunes.
And yet a handful of students and alumni from the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business have come up with something they believe will make the short-term future a little more predictable. They have launched a new non-partisan website called politicit.com that automatically pulls data from a number of traditional press outlets and social media sources like Twitter, Facebook, and Wikipedia and gives readers a snapshot of what's happening in the minute-by-minute online world. It analyzes a number of factors including online activity, traditional polls, and other breaking news to calculate an "It Score." The "It Scores" can predict poll numbers in advance, creating real-time polling daily, according to the company. Those scores are displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the home page next to each candidate's picture.
(From left to right) Britney Johnson, Josh Light, Lauren Johnson, Shai McDonald, John Johnson and Sterling Morris developers of Politicit.com.

The entrepreneurs running the site see it as a groundbreaking idea, and apparently, they aren't the only ones who see potential for the website. They submitted their idea to an online business-pitch competition called Intel Innovators, and it ended up being selected as one of the 20 finalists in the running for prizes that could total as much as $100,000. The top five ideas from the semi-final round will be selected to compete in a final round where each team is given the opportunity to pitch in front of top investors and entrepreneurs. The winner will be selected by online votes. Instructions for those interested in giving the team a boost can be found here. The deadline for voting is Dec. 19, and interested people can vote daily.
Josh Light is the CEO of the new company.
"Traditional polls reflect what people felt weeks ago," Light said. "Politicit uses sophisticated software to provide real-time political polling."
The site, which can be viewed here, is sort of one-stop shopping for the political junkie. It includes breaking media stories from mainstream news sites, blog postings from key websites on both sides of the political spectrum, and a collection of campaign-related videos making the news.
"The 'IT' score is real-time political polling," Light said. "We are now preparing to expand this service to a state and local level, starting in Utah."
Huntsman students Sterling Morris, a graduate management information systems (MIS) student, Lauren Johnson, an MIS major, and Shai Mcdonald, a MIS major, are founders of the company along with Josh Light and Britney Johnson. Light graduated in 2010 with degrees in economics, finance, and entrepreneurship, and Britney Johnson graduated in 2010 with a degree in MIS. John Johnson, head of the MIS Department, is an investor and key supporter of the new company. A video explaining the philosophy behind the website, that features the founders, can be viewed here.
Josh Light and Sterling Morris were interviewed on Utah Public Radio's "Access Utah." To hear that interview click here.

When Frank Lautenberg, (pictured) the liberal senior Democratic Senator from New Jersey, announced on Thursday that he wouldn't be running for reelection in 2014, some said it signaled the end of a long and illustrious career. Lautenberg rejoined:
This is not the end of anything, but rather the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals, and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey.
While I may not be seeking reelection, there is plenty to do before the end of this term and I'm going to keep fighting as hard as ever for the people of New Jersey in the U.S. Senate.
After joining a small bookkeeping company, Automatic Payrolls, in 1949 as its only salesman, Lautenberg helped the owner go public in 1961 and made himself rich in the process. The company changed its name to Automatic Data Processing (ADP) in 1957 and now processes paychecks for about 10 percent of America's workforce and sponsors the ADP National Employment Report and the ADP Small Business Report.
In 1982, Lautenberg saw an opportunity to run for the Senate from New Jersey and, with $3 million of his own money, won the election. He has won reelection every year since (with a brief hiatus) and was thinking about running again in 2014 until health problems began to slow him down.
In February 2010, Lautenberg was diagnosed with cancer of the blood at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York but, after undergoing chemo, he was pronounced cancer-free in June in that same year. However, episodes of the flu that turned into bronchitis this winter led him to conclude that his time in the Senate was drawing to a close. A close friend, Jim McQueeny, said, "He was not decided before the sickness [but] when he got sick a couple of times too close together, he started to think more deeply about it." Lautenberg turned 89 in January, making him the oldest member of the Senate.

Eight inches.
Thats all that kept Gregory G. Porter from losing his life in a farm accident at the familys main operations on Route 155 in the town of Rodman on July 30.
Mr. Porter, 52, co-owner of Porterdale Farms, narrowly survived the farm accident when he was run over by a cattle trailer. He was hit when the loaded truck was backing up that morning and the trailer ran over him.
He was dragged along the entire length of the 26-foot-long trailer.
There was a mere 8 inches of clearance between the ground and the trailers bottom when it went over him, he and his wife, Lisa P., said. Its heavy load of cattle caused the trailer to be lower to the ground than normal.
Able to keep to his wits about him, Mr. Porter frantically grabbed on to a jack under the trailer to prevent him from going underneath the truck. Despite that, the pickup stopped just a couple of feet away.
Somehow, he survived.
Its a miracle Im alive, said Mr. Porter, who is wheelchair-bound but has hopes of walking again.
He broke all 16 ribs, suffered collapsed pelvic bones on both sides, a broken hip and multiple other injuries. For the first 10 minutes after it happened, he did not feel any pain, he recalled. When he heard a helicopter was going to take him to Syracuse, he quickly realized the extent of his injuries. By then, the pain became unbearable.
Yet the father of three did not suffer any injuries to his internal organs; it was all skeletal.
You know, I didnt get a scratch on my head, he said a matter-of-factly.
During the trip to Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, he overheard medics say he had internal bleeding and suffered from a flailing chest, a life-threatening injury. Some of his ribs became detached to the chest wall and moved independently inside his body. It was difficult for him to breathe, he remembered. He ended up needing five units of blood.
His wife later learned half of the people who suffer those injuries die, she said.
But Mr. Porter was conscious the entire time, from the time of the accident and throughout the LifeNet helicopter trip.
He spent the next six weeks in the hospital, where he went through three surgeries and daily physical and occupational therapy. Doctors told him it would take several months before he could even attempt to walk. He wears a hospital wrist band with the words, Fall Risk in red lettering.
Thats what could happen to me when I stand, he said.
The accident happened during the height of the growing season. It left the family farm without an important manager to help make decisions at a crucial harvest time.
But the farming community has always come together for one of their own. And it did again for Mr. Porter, a popular and well-known farmer who has been involved in agricultural issues and the areas 4H program. His daughter, Casey, 17, a senior at South Jefferson High School, is the reigning Jefferson County dairy princess.
Immediately, area farmers made it known they were ready to help the Porters with whatever was needed, said Dr. John Ferry, the family veterinarian whos been their friend for more than 30 years.
There was a lot of emotional support, an outpouring of support, he said. Its a reflection of the type of people they are.
People sent hundreds of get-well cards, provided meals and just made sure they were there for the family, Dr. Ferry said. Mr. Porter received get-well wishes from people across the country; in some cases, from peoples hes only seen a handful of times through the farming industry. A farmer in the Cortland area sent him a letter telling him how he, too, was severely injured in a similar accident when a cattle truck struck him. Hes never met the man.
A woman who was a caregiver for their oldest son, David P., now 24, wrote him. They had not seen her since the son was a toddler. All of their employees also stepped up in hie absence, he said.
Its humbling to know how many people there are thinking and praying, he said. You dont realize how many peoples lives youve impacted until something like this happens.
He came from the hospital on Sept. 9.
During his stay in the hospital, more than 130 different people came to visit him. And people continue to stop by the Porter home to see how the family is doing. While he sat in his backyard on a warm, sunny Friday afternoon, a few friends stopped by to wish him well.
Everybodys thinking about you, Watertown resident Patrick J. Scordo told him that day.
The Porters belong to Honeyville Baptist Church, a small church on Route 177, near Adams Center, with about 50 close-knit members, that describes itself as a rural, community-minded place to worship. Since the day of the accident, the church has received about 3,000 posts on its Facebook page to get status reports on its friend, said the Rev. Albert J. Dowker, the churchs pastor.
Its nothing short of amazing that Mr. Porter is still alive, the Rev. Mr. Dowker said. He credits faith in God with getting them through the ordeal.
Its really about their trust in God, he said, adding he remembered that his friend asked him to pray for him when he first got to the hospital that day.
Just six days after getting out of the hospital, Mr. Porter and his family joined the congregation on Sept. 15 in what the Rev. Mr. Dowker described was an emotional service for the 65 people who attended. It was a testament to Mr. Porters strength that hewas able to be there, the pastor said. He was greeted by a standing ovation when he came up the churchs ramp in the sanctuary.
It was really cool, the pastor said.
On the day of the accident, Mrs. Porter was at the grocery store when she got a phone call from a family member that her husband was hurt. She raced to Adams to intercept the medical helicopter before it took him to Syracuse. She spoke briefly to him. An EMT kept assuring her that hes going to be fine, but she didnt know much, she recalled.
Id still be in the hospital if it werent for my wife, he said.
A relative drove her to the hospital. Mr. Porter was on his way to surgery by the time she arrived. She stayed at Upstate practically almost every night he was there.
On his way to Syracuse, he kept asking for pain medicine, but was told that he had to wait. Later, Mr. Porter found out he was among the first people in America to be on a medicopter and get a drug to stop internal bleeding. That drug had just been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
He is still undergoing physical and occupational therapy, and the couple realizes it will be a long road to recovery. His doctors have told him it may be months before he can try to walk, but Mr. Porter has his own timetable.
Well get there, he said. One day at a time.
After lots of hard work, doctors gave him the go-ahead last week to use a walker. On Sunday, he was able to take a few steps across the front of the church while his friends watched.
Were so happy, Lisa Porter said. Were blessed.

The authors should be commended for initiating this research shortly after the value of SPECT imaging was elucidated. It has been well established that older radiation techniques which treated significant volumes of the heart muscle can lead to increased risks of cardiac morbidity and mortality. It is currently unclear if these abnormalities on SPECT scans will translate into clinically significant changes. These patients should be followed long term to determine if SPECT scans help to predict which patients are likely to have cardiac problems in the future. Patients who develop abnormalities on SPECT may need to be counseled strongly to modify cardiac risk factors. Longer follow-up time with serial SPECT imaging may allow us to have a better idea about the utility of this test following radiation therapy. This research also highlights the correlation between the volume of heart treated and the risk of perfusion abnormalities. Radiation oncologists must continue to develop treatment plans which spare as much cardiac tissue as is possible.

The sweater curse — strong enough to break our engagement?

|Watauga Commission Airs Smoky Mountain Issues
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 05 February 2013 12:59
Watauga County Commissioners expressed issues with two items on their agenda regarding Smoky Mountain Center—but not related to the presentation on the agenda. Smoky Mountain's audit was on the agenda, but slow reimbursement and a move to cut local boards of commission out of board
representation came forward. First, Watauga Commission chair Nathan Miller asked the Smoky representative to take his concerns about slow reimbursement—a problem Miller has seen before, "Part of New River Behavioral Health Care's problem…was the slow payment and problems with payments from Smoky Mountain." He went on to say that now on the board of Appalachian Regional Healthcare, he's seeing the same problem, "They're reporting slow payment and payment problems with Smoky Mountain to the tune of about a million dollars." He asked the Smoky representative to take the concerns back to the office and seek a solution. Miller said he is also seeing a move to remove commissioners from the larger board of Smoky, "the LME's, their lobbyist down in Raleigh, was pushing to get the counties off the board." The boards rep to Smoky, Billy Kennedy, said he sees conflicts from the Smoky administration, "The executive director thinks that they're boss, but really they're working at the direction of the board." The board will take a resolution to the state about the board, and promised to be watching Medicaid reimbursements from
Smoky as they have a new Medicaid waiver to administer.

EFSA launches consultation on renewal of authorization of feed additives
June 26, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) has launched an open consultation on a draft guidance on the renewal of the authorization of feed additives, says EFSA. Feed additive permits need reviewing every 10 years, under EU rules. The first such renewals will be evaluated by EFSA in 2015. A draft guidance on the assessment of the toxigenic potential of Bacillus species used as microbial feed additives or enzymes has also been launched today. The two consultations are...

Harder than hickory!
Balanced and carefully crafted using hand-selected white oak. Grown in the mountainous regions of Japan, this particular species of oak is a harder wood than hickory and will take more wear, tear, and punishment. It resists chipping and wearing soft. Made with Pro-Mark's exclusive Millennium II manufacturing process, each stick is hand-finished and hand-inspected. The result is a strength and durability no other stick can match.
Extremely durable. Order today.

Comments about PROMARK 12-Pair Japanese White Oak Drumsticks:
Same weight as hickory, but last a lot longer and doesn't splinter as badly. Does cost a bit more but well worth it.

Comments about PROMARK 12-Pair Japanese White Oak Drumsticks:
Japanese White Oak w/wood tip are well balanced. 727s are versatile - you can get some serious volume but they also allow you to back off a bit.

About 57 percent of women believe mammograms should start at age 40, according to a Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll.
Poll: Women in their 40s want mammograms
Two-thirds of women surveyed were not aware of a controversial 2009 recommendation by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which said mammograms for women in their 40s led to too many false-positives, unnecessary worry and biopsies, and relatively few lives saved.
"The poll suggests that women are better informed than the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force," said Daniel Kopans, a professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School and senior radiologist in the Breast Imaging Division at Massachusetts General Hospital, who added that

How long will global warming last?
Guest commentary from David Archer (U. Chicago)
The notion is pervasive in the popular and scientific literature that the lifetime of anthropogenic CO2 released to the atmosphere is some fuzzy number measured most conveniently in decades or centuries. The reality is that the CO2 from a gallon out of every tank of gas will continue to affect climate for tens and even hundreds of thousands of years into the future.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks (2005) has the CO2 lifetime listed as 5-200 years, for example [1]. I have seen "hundreds of years" in scientific manuscripts and in environmentalist literature. David Goodstein in his excellent book The End of the Age of Oil states, "If we were to suddenly stop burning fossil fuel, the natural carbon cycle would probably restore the previous concentration in a thousand years or so." I assume that Goodstein is conservatively applying several century-long e-folding times to derive his thousand years, but he implicitly assumes that the CO2 will relax toward its 1750 concentration. The point is that it does not.
When you release a slug of new CO2 into the atmosphere, dissolution in the ocean gets rid of about three quarters of it, more or less, depending on how much is released. The rest has to await neutralization by reaction with CaCO3 or igneous rocks on land and in the ocean [2-6]. These rock reactions also restore the pH of the ocean from the CO2 acid spike. My model indicates that about 7% of carbon released today will still be in the atmosphere in 100,000 years [7]. I calculate a mean lifetime, from the sum of all the processes, of about 30,000 years. That's a deceptive number, because it is so strongly influenced by the immense longevity of that long tail. If one is forced to simplify reality into a single number for popular discussion, several hundred years is a sensible number to choose, because it tells three-quarters of the story, and the part of the story which applies to our own lifetimes.
However, the long tail is a lot of baby to throw out in the name of bath-time simplicity. Major ice sheets, in particular in Greenland [8], ocean methane clathrate deposits [9], and future evolution of glacial/interglacial cycles [10] might be affected by that long tail. A better shorthand for public discussion might be that CO2 sticks around for hundreds of years, plus 25% that sticks around forever.
The sticking-around-forever idea is not new, and the picture has not changed by very much since the effect was first predicted back in 1992 [2]. You can estimate the magnitude of the effect pretty well just using CO2 thermodynamics and the back of an envelope. It could be argued (by someone with a cruel heart) that since we don't understand why CO2 was lower during the last ice age, we ought not go around making forecasts for the future. Well, OK, but I would point out that CO2 in the past appears to act as an amplifier for orbitally forced climate change, so if anything, we might expect the carbon cycle in the future to amplify our own climate forcing, rather than counteract it. If the past is any guide, CO2 surprises in the future, in the long run, seem unlikely to help us out.
