ORLEANS -- The Lake Region Rangers pulled out a gutsy 3-2 overtime victory on Senior day against the Winooski Spartans Thursday.
NEWPORT–A long trying season has probably come to an end for the North Country boys soccer team. With their 1-0 loss to Colchester yesterday, the team is mathematically eliminated from the play-offs, although a small ray of hope exists if one Vermont school's budget does not pass, then said school will be forced to put all of their extra curricular activities on the shelf.
As for Thursday's action, it was an emotional, physical game at Falcon field that saw North Country have several chances to score, but fall short in their attempts.
Wednesday afternoon's relays at Lake Region went well for North Country Union HS. First of all, and to the delight of those in competition, the rain held off during the entire race and running conditions were ideal (overcast with temps in the 50s and no wind). The relay style race was set up to have the first of two runners complete a 1.6 mile loop before passing off for the 2nd runner who ran the same loop. Times were combined for the two runners and medals were awarded to the top three teams in the categories of all boy, all girl, & coed relay teams.
FAIRFAX – The Lady Rangers of Lake Region faced off against a tough BFA-Fairfax Bullets team Wednesday afternoon, and came away empty handed with a 1-0 loss. An early first half score by the Bullets doomed with Rangers, who never were able to mount much of a charge. Jordyn Cowles started in goal for Lake Region and made 12 saves. Coach Brad Urie said that his team, "never responded after trailing early."
COVENTRY – The UCA Lady Crusaders faced off against the Richford Rockets Wednesday afternoon in a game that was moved to the Coventry Graded School due to unplayable field conditions at Gardner Park. UCA battled hard, but lost by a score of 2-0. Richford got early first half goals by Joslynn Bessette and Krista Murphy. Goalie Sydney Whipple made 17 saves in a losing effort.
CANAAN– The UCA Crusaders fell to Canaan by the score of 2-0 on Tuesday.
"We had a great game in comparison to the last couple of games where we were ridden with injuries. We played well as a team making opportunity after opportunity on offense in both halves," said Coach DeLaBruere.
Ji Kim Dale Martell, and Isaac LaFoe had numerous shots on Canaan's keeper, but were unable to find the back of the net.
Chris DeLaBruere had another quality night defending the net for UCA where he continues to be a formidable presence. UCA plays their last game of the season in Richford Thursday at 4pm.
CRAFTSBURY – The Craftsbury Academy Lady Chargers took another step towards securing a potential home playoff game with a 3-2 win Tuesday afternoon against the Whitcomb Hornets. Craftsbury, winners of 3 in a row and 4 out of their last 6, battled Whitcomb to a scoreless draw through the first half. But, Meghan Brown put the Chargers on top after converting a Sarah Dunbar pass for a goal early in the 2nd half. After Whitcomb tied the game at 1, Brown scored her 2nd of the game, thanks to an assist by Meghan Pennock to put the Blue and White of Craftsbury back on top.
DANVILLE – The Lake Region Rangers traveled to Danville Tuesday afternoon to face off against a tough Indians squad and came away with a 2-1 victory. Assistant Coach Dan Cummings took over the Head Coaching duties, because Coach Tom Evans was out due to his 2-game suspension. Tony Stuart and Shaquille Urie found the back of the net for the Blue and White. When contacted by telephone Coach Evans said that he was "pleased with the way his team responded and he was glad they were able to stay focused."
NEWPORT–After going down 1-0 in the first half, the North Country girls soccer team rallied and came back to win their ninth game of the season 2-1.
"This (Spaulding) is a quality team out there. They have just two losses on the year and this (win) puts us closer to getting a home seed and that is what we are hoping for," said Coach Joe Batista.
NEWPORT–On a gray and chilly afternoon, the North Country field hockey team paid tribute to their twelve departing seniors on Tuesday before their well played 2-0 loss to the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds.
"I'm really going to miss them," said Coach Bouchard of her outgoing seniors, "They have been my backbone ever since I started coaching here."
Three girls in particular hold a special place in Bouchard's heart; Kelsey O'Donnell, Lindsay Cotnoir and Molly Manning.
"Those three have always been on their game. They are my leadership group, and it is really sad to see them go."

|Rogers To Speak At Zap Fitness Tonight
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Monday, 09 July 2012 08:06
Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon, will be speaking at Zap Fitness Foundation tonight beginning at 8 p.m. Zap Fitness is located at 9560 Blackberry Road in Lenior. It is free of charge and open to the public. For more information, please call Pete Rea at 828-295-6198. Rodgers won both the Boston Marathon and the New York Marathon four times each between 1975 and
1980, twice breaking the American record at Boston with a time of 2:09:55 in 1975 and a 2:09:27 in 1979. In 1977 he won the Fukuoka Marathon, making him the only runner ever to hold the championship of all three major marathons at the same time. He made the 1976 U.S. Olympic team and raced the marathon at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, finishing 40th. He did not participate in the Olympics in 1980 due to the U.S. boycott over the invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR. Rodgers is also the last U.S.-born winner in the men's or women's open divisions of the New York City Marathon to date; the two subsequent American winners were born in Cuba (Alberto Salazar) and Eritrea (Meb Keflezighi).

Young Naturalist Tests Honeybee Memory Endurance
Though honeybees are famous for producing honey, they also pollinate agricultural crops. Intrigued by these tiny pollinators, 16-year-old Jill decided to learn more about the role memory and landscape play in honeybee foraging and pollination.
"Honeybee memory is a primary source of honeybee prosperity," Jill explains in her essay Memory Retention of Landscape Learning in Honeybees, Apis Mellifera, for which she won a2011 Young Naturalist Award. After researching the importance of landscape memory in honeybees' ability to forage and return to the hive, Jill conducted an experiment that examined the insects' long-term memory.
Beyond Politics: Science Drives Our Future
This Op-Ed by Ellen V. Futter, President of the American Museum of Natural History, was recently published in the Huffington Post.
The United States did not become a great and powerful nation by rejecting science. In fact, this is the country whose forefathers include citizen scientists such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Teddy Roosevelt. This is the country that put a man on the moon, cured polio, and developed the computer. The country of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Rachel Carson; of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
So in this election season, let's not politicize issues that aren't inherently partisan. Let's not undermine our ability to address areas of broad consensus where the stakes are staggeringly high—most especially the central role of science in advancing our society, economy, and future.
Acidifying Waters Inspire Young Naturalist's Investigation
Growing up in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, 14-year-old George was always attentive to its aquatic life. When he learned the waters were acidifying, George wondered how it would affect aquatic organisms.
He decided to measure the effects of changing water acidity, salinity, and temperature on grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio, using their heart rates as a measure of their metabolic oxygen consumption. For his investigation, which is described at length in his essay, The Effects of pH, Salinity, and Water Temperature on Palaemonetes pugio, George received a2011 Young Naturalist Award.
New Research Points to Dinosaurs' Colorful Past
There's new evidence that dinosaurs, once thought to resemble scaly lizards, were in fact fluffy, colorful animals. In the video below, Curator Mark Norell, who is chair of the Museum's Division of Paleontology and studies important feathered dinosaurs from Liaoning, China, shares his thoughts on the significance of two new studies about fossilized feathers reported in the current issue of Science magazine.

10 Fabulous Fudge Recipes
Nutella Cherry Hazelnut Fudge
Chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella) gives this fudge a smooth texture and luscious nutty flavor. The recipe comes from Annie Marshall of the Indianapolis-based blog Annie's Eats.
Easy Fudge
Midwest Living Senior Travel Editor Kendra Williams shared this Easy Fudge recipe; her grandparents made it every year, and it's just not Christmas without it.
Pumpkin Fudge
Set this pretty golden fudge on a plate with traditional chocolate fudge and a white fudge for an appealing array of colors. The recipe is from a Cherokee, Iowa, reader and was a winner at the Clay County Fair.
White Christmas Cherry-Almond Fudge
Fudge in any flavor makes a classic holiday treat, but our white fudge dotted with dried cherries and toasted almonds looks especially festive. The recipe comes from the Inn at Cedar Falls near Logan, Ohio.
Latte Fudge
A shot of espresso adds flavor and color to this holiday sweet. The recipe makes about five dozen pieces, so you'll have plenty to give as gifts.
Creamy Rich Pistachio-Tangerine Fudge
When we decided to create a new holiday fudge, we started with a no-fail version and added tangerine peel, pistachios and white baking pieces. Yum!
Peanut Butter Fudge
Peanut butter fans will love this creamy, nutty fudge, made with peanut butter pieces, marshmallow creme and finely chopped peanuts. Add extra peanuts on top if you want some more crunch.
Fanciful Peppermint Fudge
Mint flavor infuses this creamy, easy fudge. If you like, use two cups mint-flavor semisweet chocolate pieces instead of the chocolate pieces and extract.
Cream Cheese-Rum Fudge
Cream cheese flavors these chocolaty squares, a favorite recipe from a Dubuque, Iowa, reader. If you'd prefer, try substituting almond, peppermint or orange extract for the rum flavoring.
Candied Cherry Opera Fudge
No shortcuts on this fudge, studded with chopped candied red cherries — you've got to follow classic fudge instructions to cook it to "soft ball stage" and then to beat vigorously. Make sure you've got an accurate candy thermometer!

On Friday and Saturday night the Price Elks boxing club showed up in force at the U.S.A. Utah state boxing championships in Salt Lake city. By evening's end Jeffery Salas would become the 132 pound Utah State Champion.
First to compete Friday night was 9-year-old Chad Collard who faced Johnny Gomez of the Salt Lake City Center Boxing Club. This was the fifth bout between the two and Collard came away with the victory by out boxing Gomez.
Next Cezly Collard took to the ring to fight Pano Tia in the 75 pound weight class. Cezly lost the bout but according to Elks boxing coach Mitchell Hadden many at ringside felt that Collard deserved to win the decision.
Clay Cloward also boxed Friday night and out boxed Mike Montoya of the Salt Lake City Center Boxing Club with power punches to take the win giving the Elks their second victory.
Jeffery Salas participated in the evenings main event which was an open class bout vs. Mauricio Rascon of the Flash Academy Boxing Club. Rascon was the reigning champ and favored in the bout. Nobody told Salas who proved to be to much for Rascon winning a unanimous decision. The bout qualified Salas for the Four Corners Regional Championships on March 9 and 10.
Salas has been boxing since age nine in Arizona. He moved to East Carbon at age 15 and began boxing with the Elks club. He trains between two to three hours per day year-round to further his dreams of one day becoming an Olympic boxer.
"These bouts are the precursors to the Olympics and if he keeps winning we could see him there in 2008," said Hadden.
On Saturday Rookie Bales fought Michael Montoya in the Elks first bout. According to Hadden, Bales fought valiantly but lost a decision to Montoya.
In the evenings main event Salas once again went up what was supposed to be a better boxer from Salt Lake. One hundred and twenty five pound champ Jose Haro is know in boxing circles as the city's best fighter and an exhibition between the two has been in the works for quite awhile. The bout did not disappoint with the champs slugging it out for four rounds. When the dust settled Salas came away with the victory and the title.
"Boxing is my life and I will fight in the Olympics someday," concluded the champ.

Mel and Sarah Tonin have lived in the Castle Valley for decades. Mel has helped many of us in this community. He's an independent sleep administrator who works mostly at night. Sarah's presence has also been a positive influence here; it's claimed that she's responsible for improving our moods. The Tonins are frequently seen in local pharmacies.
Poly and Ester are sisters who have woven themselves into the warp and woof of this community. They're not as popular as they once were, but you can still find them "hanging out" in the local haberdasheries - and at the thrift shops. Poly and Ester are also known as the "retro sisters."
Cap and Numb Locke are brothers who are more recent imports into the Castle Valley. Their presence is almost ubiquitous in local homes. It seems they're always at our fingertips. The Locke brothers are reverse physical therapists of sorts, working to degrade the appendages that connect to our shoulders. Some people claim that Numb was named for his effect on people.
There are many other neighbors you should know, but that's a subject for a future missive on another appropriate holiday.

SciCafe: Forgetting Fear with Daniela Schiller
by AMNH on
Fear can take many forms, from minor phobias to life-altering conditions such as PTSD. Now, new research is shedding light on how these so-called fear memories could be changed. At the final SciCafe of the season on Wednesday, June 6,neuroscientist Daniela Schiller will discuss her work on the neural mechanisms of emotional control and potential ways to modify or "erase" fear memories. Schiller recently answered a few questions about how memories are created and lost.
How did you first become interested in studying emotional memories?
It wasn't an explicit decision. I started with philosophy and psychology, and I was interested in the brain and the mind. And the combination is the neural basis of behavior, and within behavior, emotion is fascinating because it's the least willful process we have. We think emotions just happen to us, but they don't just pop out of the blue. It's interesting to look at the mechanism and see that it's a very distinct process in the brain that you can observe and counteract and modulate.

The Museum's free companion iPad app for the popular new exhibition Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence offers a close look at some of the extraordinary organisms that produce light. The app, which has been featured in the New and Noteworthy section of the iPad app store, reveals the beauty of bioluminescence through interactive animations, photo galleries, and videos. Each chapter of the app, which is adapted from the iPad content featured throughout the exhibition gallery, is set to a symphonic soundtrack composed exclusively for Creatures of Light.
Developmental Timing Offers Another Window Into Dinosaur-Bird Transition
by AMNH on
A new study has used skull anatomy to show that the evolution of birds from dinosaurs may have resulted from a drastic change in dinosaur development.
In a study published this week in the journal Nature, researchers from Harvard University, the Museum, the New York Institute of Technology, The University of Texas at Austin, and the Autonomous University of Madrid report evidence that while many dinosaurs took years to reach sexual maturity, birds sped up the developmental clock, which led them to retain the physical characteristics of baby dinosaurs.

Comments about Marmot Afterburner Jacket (Men's):
I bought this fleece because of all the great reviews. It advertises 300 wt fleece and I am sure it is, but just not much of it. I believe it is very good quality, just not as warm as I expected from all the reviews I read. It is however thin and lightweight. I was looking for something much warmer like a Patagonia R4 or THF Summit Thermal. This item would probably keep me warm at 50 degrees or above if I had a long sleeve shirt underneath.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A stunning twist in the case of a man in prison for infecting a number of women with HIV.
Today, it was revealed in court that Nushawn Williams is not HIV positive.
Sixteen years ago, when Nushawn Williams was tested for HIV by the Chautauqua County Department of Health, he was positive. Now, his lawyer says it isn't the case. Williams' attorney, John Nuchereno, had a court-ordered blood draw sent to the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Channel 2's Claudine Ewing sat down with Nuchereno and asked him about the new blood test results.
"There's a PhD Scientist professor at the medical school who did a thorough examination with an electron microscope and found absolutely no evidence of HIV in Nushawn Williams blood," says Nuchereno.
When asked why anyone should believe this new test result over the original test, Nuchereno said, "testing has come a long way in the last 16-years."
Williams was sentenced to 4-12 years for having sex with minors. He has served his time, but remains in prison under New York State's civil confinement law to keep the most dangerous sex offenders out of society.
The NYS Attorney General's office declined to comment, but with this new revelation, it was revealed in court that they are now seeking to have their own test done to see if Williams HIV Status has changed.

Let x = pi/(2k+1), for k>0.
Prove that
cosxcos2xcos3x...coskx = (1/2)^k
I've confirmed this numerically for n from 1 to 30. I'm finding it surprisingly difficult using standard trig formula manipulation. Even for the case k = 2, I needed to actually work out cosx by other methods to get the result.
Please let me know if you have a neat proof.

I purchase a special snowman decoration for my little girl every year so I can give her a Christmas collection when she is older. This is delightful, I love the way the glitter keeps swirling while it is turned on. I wanted to use it as a nightlight in her room, but alas it used up the batteries after a couple nights. Better for short time periods.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
A local man missing for more than a week was found early Friday morning.
Justin Olson, 26, of Price, was found around 7:30 a.m. walking along Highway 10 near the Carbon/Emery County line, according to his mother, Carolyn Atwood. Atwood said a passerby noticed a man resembling Olson dressed in a hoodie walking along the side of the road and called 911.
Lt. Tory Christiansen with the Carbon County Sheriff's Office said a deputy was sent on a welfare check shortly after and spotted Olson walking along the highway. The man confirmed his identity as being Olson to the deputy and that he was very apologetic for being missing for over a week, Christiansen said.
Atwood said Olson told her he spent the week up in the hills and mountains in the area spending the time by himself and not with a group of friends.
Olson worked a shift at his job at Wendy's on Saturday, Oct. 27 and was seen by friends later that night before going missing the following day.
There was some concern that he may have left the area and was looking to possibly go to California. On his Facebook page he listed himself under his rap name of Onin Tr3 and said he lived in Palm Springs, Calif. Atwood said Olson has expressed interest in the past of going back to California, but would never leave without telling anyone where he was.
Atwood was concerned that Olson may have some injuries, including possible head trauma, that came from when he drove his car off an embankment near Consumers Road a few days before his disappearance. Olson declined to be taken to the hospital after the accident.
Atwood said she took Olson to a doctor since he has been home and he was given a clean bill of health.
Some of Onin Tr3's work is on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/user/ONINTr3Music/videos?flow=grid&view=0

The goal of this category is to encourage and assist students to interact with a wide variety of people from culturally diverse backgrounds. By understanding and appreciating other cultures, students can be better prepared for the culturally diverse workforce, of which they will be a part after graduation.
To achieve this goal, students are encouraged to participate in the out-of-class learning that will immerse them in a different culture other than their own for a minimum of one week. This immersion will help the student understand the social, political, spiritual, cultural, economic and environmental aspects of that part of the world. Students are encouraged to present their experience, at their discretion, in conjunction with the sponsoring mentor and the Office of International Programs and Services (OIPS).
Examples of activities that satisfy this category include:
Students who participate in activities that are coordinated by the OIPS, such as a study abroad trip or a faculty-led trip, will receive automatic approval for their Category 2 SET activity.
To receive SET approval for a Category 2 activity that is not coordinated by the OIPS, students must first request pre-approval by completing the SET Activity Approval Form and submitting it to the OIPS. Students must obtain pre-approval from OIPS prior to the commencement of non-credit Category 2 activities. Once the activity has been completed, the OIPS must then submit the SET Activity Approval Form with final approval to Dr. Shari Payne, Dean of Engaged Learning. Approval of independent activities in Category 2 lies at the discretion of the OIPS. Questions should be directed to Dr. Payne at (412) 397-6235 or email@example.com.

CANTON St. Lawrence County Democrats will run a series of commercials this election season touting their achievements to try to hold onto their nine-member majority in a year when every seat could be contested.
Both Democrats and Republicans have said they hope to field candidates in every one of the countys 15 election districts.
Democrats are trying to get a jump start on the campaigns with the commercials airing on cable and local television stations. The first began in late February and will run until the middle of this month, county Democratic Committee Chairman Mark J. Bellardini said.
The commercial of still photographs and a voice-over, which also can be seen on YouTube at http://wdt.me/gHbX7G, states that the Democratic-led Legislature kept its promise to lower property taxes.
I think its important to get the information out about some things weve done, said Legislator Gregory M. Paquin, D-Massena. Were true to our word.
Photos of Democratic legislators float across background shots of county landmarks and landscapes, along with newspaper clips of county political actions.
Under the watchful eye of the Democrats, waste is being eliminated and government streamlined, the commercial states.
The ad talks about how legislators lived up to their pledge to cut property taxes and develop new revenue streams. It does not detail how the promise to slash property taxes by the same amount they were increased in the previous year was part of a deal to have the state Legislature approve home-rule legislation allowing the county to raise the local sales tax from 3 percent to 4 percent.
The commercial also boasts that Democrats successfully collected millions of dollars in outstanding tribal/state compact funds.
Weve been able to accomplish a lot, trying to improve the region and the county fiscal picture, said Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington.
It is not too early to remind voters that Democrats are leading the county in the right direction, Mr. Bellardini said.
Those are all our achievements, he said. Weve got to get the message out. Its a big county.
Mr. Bellardini would not say how much the media campaign, which is paid for by the county Democratic Committee, will cost, but he said the price tag is hefty.
Its weighing heavy on the campaign chest, he said.
Other commercials will start in late March and continue through May, after which there will be a break before political ads get into full swing for the election season, Mr. Bellardini said.
Democratic candidates also will canvass communities with their message because voters like to talk to people face-to-face, he said.
Were going to do a heavy door-to-door campaign, Mr. Bellardini said.

The GM Search Begins …
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
The Jets have already reached out to a few candidates as far as we know. Here's a list of some suspects that the Jets might consider interviewing for the current GM opening.
Tom Gamble — The current director of player personnel in San Francisco has become a hot candidate and the Jets have reached out to Gamble and while he might have the pedigree and talent to be a great addition for the Jets, Gamble is not expected to take the Jets offer very seriously if he need retain coach Rex Ryan. Still, when some of his other options are teams like the Jaguars …
Status — Requested interview
Wild Guess — It would take a HUGE sales job
Marc Ross — He's the current head of college scouting for the Giants and a hot candidate this year. Many have started talking about him in relation to the Jets. Ross is a guy the Jets have reached out to the Giants for … but watch out for the Panthers, as Ernie Accorsi is guiding their search. Local hot up and coming candidates are always high on the list when they shine with the Giants … Steve Spagnuolo comes to mind recently. Ross has done a good job lining up the talent for his bosses with the Giants and could help the Jets focus their efforts in building through the draft over the next few years — a necessity with the contracts that are in place already.
Status — Requested interview
Wild Guess — It's a possibility
Bill Polian — Polian has made it clear he's not interested in New York or the constraints he'd have to work under. Also, he wouldn't have a first overall pick and a clear shot at drafting the next Peyton Manning …
Status — Not Interested
Wild Guess — Not happening
Tom Heckert — Heckert was fired by the Browns and he's done a good job with early and late draft picks alike in Cleveland. Heckert was forced out with the Joe Banner addition to the team, but Heckert has a long history in the league and is a quality candidate wherever he might end up.
Status — Not known
Wild Guess — Unsure
Mike Maccagan — The Houston Texans head of personnel is a likely candidate for the Jets and he builds a type of team that Rex Ryan could use a little more of … motor guys. Players like Watt, Cushing, Brooks Reed, Connor Barwin are all players that seem to fit a bit of a different mold than Rex has looked for during his time with the Jets.
Status — Unknown
Wild Guess — Unsure
Joey Clinkscales — Clinkscales is now working for the Raiders and has been a candidate in Miami and Saint Louis when those programs were rebuilding. As of yet, Clink has never gotten his chance to run an organization, but has promise enough and the personnel evaluation piece the Jets are looking for. He would be familiar with the organization and the ownership, and his new authority would make him the one calling the shots not lining them up for others on draft day.
Status — Unknown
Wild Guess — A possibility

Infectious diseases on the rise as childhood vaccinations decrease
Image by Journal Broadcast Group
Web Producer: Rikki Mitchell
PHOENIX (KGUN9-TV) - Childhood diseases such as whooping cough, measles and mumps are on the rise as immunization refusal rates have doubled, according to the Arizona Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
A panel of experts spoke to the Arizona House of Representatives Health and Human Services Committee Wednesday, saying that the immunization rate in Arizona is around 76 percent, when it should be at 92 percent to prevent an outbreak.
Arturo Gonzalez, president of the AzAAP says parents refuse to vaccinate their children based on moral grounds, religious objections or over concerns of side-effects.
He added that the actions of a few people are putting the entire public health at risk.

Dublin has appalling street congestion in the city centre, but the light rail service known as LUAS (the Gaelic word for 'speed') now offers two lines with numerous stations, many of them giving easy access to the main sights and places of interest. The city also has an extensive bus network with a limited Nitelink service operating from 1:30am, but this is most useful for commuters to and from the city centre. There is also a rapid transit train (DART) that links the city centre with the suburbs and seaside communities. Because most public transport stops before midnight, taxis can be hard to find in the city centre after 11pm, particularly over the weekend. Taxis can be hailed in the street, but it is often easier to find them at taxi ranks or book ahead by telephone. Renting a car can be impractical and expensive, although they can be essential if wanting to explore off the beaten track on excursions from Dublin.

Dublin has a maritime temperate climate, and less rainfall than the rest of the 'Emerald Isle'. However, winters are still very soggy and showers are common all year round. The wettest month, December, averages three inches (76mm) of rainfall. Summers are cool and pleasant, with temperatures in July peaking at around 68°F (20°C), and the most sunshine in May and June. Winters, apart from being wet, are mild, with the mercury rarely dropping to freezing point. Snow is unlikely, but a few flurries can occur. Dublin, like the rest of Ireland, experiences no temperature extremes. The best time to visit Ireland is in the warm summer months between May and August. February receives the least rainfall on average but it is almost impossible to avoid some rain in Dublin. The off-peak months are significantly cheaper in Ireland, so if you are travelling on a budget it's best to consider visiting in spring, autumn or even winter.
Several bus services, involving more than 700 buses including Dublin Bus and Flybus, connect the airport to all parts of Dublin and the city's central train station, both day and night, with fares starting at €6.
Hertz, Avis, Budget, Murrays Europcar and National Car Rentals all operate from car-hire desks in the Arrivals Concourse. There are also a number of pre-booked car-hire desks on this concourse. These include Argus, Atlas. Dan Dooley, Hamills, Malones, Sixt and Thrifty.
Taxis are available in front of the Arrivals Hall; a taxi to the city centre costs about €20, and an extra charge for baggage may be added, as well as a surcharge in the evenings and on weekends. All taxis have meters but they are only used for destinations in the 'Dublin City Taxi Metered Area'. It is wise to negotiate the price with the driver beforehand.
A clearly signed walkway connects the two terminals.
Airport facilities include a bureau de change and ATMs, numerous restaurants, pubs and bars, several shops, a church and tourist information.
There are plenty of parking options at Dublin International Airport, including short and long stay options. The short-term car park is close to the terminal building, while the off-site long-term car park is serviced by a free shuttle service. Long term stays can be pre-booked via the airport website.
Free wifi is available throughout the airport. There are also internet kiosks around the terminal.

The government says that the spacecraft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 was a top-secret surveillance balloon. But not everyone believes that; some still believe it was an alien landing site and creatures that look like this Roswell Bust Alien piloted the spacecraft. Those who believe aliens have landed all describe similar beings, which look humanoid with large heads, smooth skin and lizard like eyes. This collector's prop can be used to decorate a Halloween party. Whether you believe in aliens or not, this bust makes a stunning addition to any collection. Sci Fi fans may want to display the bust all year round.

FOUND by Mark in Amherst, Massachusetts
My 13 year old daughter's friend found this note tucked inside his locker at school. It's not meant for him, and there are clues in the letter which may help them figure out who wrote it.
But the note contains something that makes it much more interesting than your typical middle school mystery love note: a secret recipe!

CANTON Head Start programming in St. Lawrence County will not be reduced despite the loss of nearly $150,000 from the federal sequestration but employees will file for unemployment during vacation breaks instead of being paid for the time off by the Community Development Program.
Nobodys happy to be losing dollars out of our pockets but we have great employees who are dedicated to the children, said Norma S. Cary, CDP executive director. We didnt want to lose programming for children and families.
Head Start is a federal program that prepares children of low-income families to be ready for school. It was one of the first poverty programs from the 1960s.
CDP used to pay Head Start employees for vacation during the school year, such as during spring break, but asked the majority of its 90 staff members to collect unemployment for those periods instead.
CDP provides Head Start for 351 children and their families at centers in Gouverneur, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Parishville, Brasher Falls and Norwood.
It also serves 120 children and their families in a home-based program. Annual funding was at slightly more than $2.8 million.
Under federal sequestration, the program expected a cut of 5 percent, which turned out to be 5.27 percent for a total of $148,660.
Theyre saying plan on it for another year, Ms. Cary said. Weve been flat funded for a number of years. When you stay stagnant in your funding, it makes it even harder to come up with that $148,000.
Meanwhile, expenses have gone up for such things as food and transportation.
The agency expects to also struggle with the increase of the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $8 per hour.
Philosophically, we want to see that happen but its hard to see in our budget, Ms. Cary said.

Take anti-inflammatories for short-term relief and choose glucosamine for long-term repair
Glucosamine sulfate is the ideal supplement for joints. For joint pain, many take aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. While they're effective at suppressing symptoms, they do nothing for cartilage repair. They may even inhibit it.
Glucosamine gets to the root of the problem and can help support and repair joints. One study showed it took 4 weeks for glucosamine to surpass ibuprofen with respect to joint comfort, demonstrating it takes longer to work but ultimately produced better results.
Chondroitin sulfate works synergistically with glucosamine. Experts say it is best taken with glucosamine in a 5:4 ratio, glucosamine sulfate (1,500 mg): chondroitin sulfate (1,200 mg) for a 120-200 pound person.
Research on glucosamine and chondroitin shows it works
Researchers from the Arthritis Center, Boston University School of Medicine, reviewed 15 human studies on the use of glucosamine and chondroitin for joints. The results showed significant improvement in all patients with joint problems using either material. All of the studies showed them to be extremely safe with almost no side effects. The range of doses was 500 mg to 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 800 mg to 1,200 mg of chondroitin daily in the sulfate form. Reliable benefits were found to take 4 to 8 weeks to occur. The most popular daily dose is 1,500 mg glucosamine and 1,200 mg chondroitin.
X-ray evidence shows glucosamine sulfate works better than placebo
Another study of glucosamine sulfate from the British journal Lancet again confirmed its benefits for joint health. Over 3 years, 212 patients were given a placebo or 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate daily. Instead of just measuring the patient's subjective reports of pain or stiffness, the researchers demonstrated measurable, objective evidence of glucosamine's joint benefits. X-rays of the knees in the glucosamine group were taken at various intervals during the study and showed significant benefits. X-rays from those taking a placebo showed continued degeneration of the knee joint. There were no side effects or complications noted in the glucosamine group.
Note: this study used the sulfate form of glucosamine used in Lindberg products. Lindberg uses a potassium stabilized form (2KCl) of glucosamine sulfate, not sodium, to reduce unwanted salt.
What is MSM?
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of sulfur, one of the most abundant minerals in the human body. Sulfur is essential in many body functions. It's critical to the production of healthy collagen -- the building block of nails, skin, hair, joints and other connective tissues.*
82% improvement in those taking MSM
Several studies have measured the effects of MSM in athletes and patients with joint problems. Injured athletes taking MSM, in addition to their usual physical therapy, reported improved recovery (58%) versus a placebo group (33%). In addition, athletes using MSM had 40% fewer office visits during treatment. Then, a double-blind study showed patients with joint comfort issues who took 2,250 mg of MSM daily for 6 weeks reported an average 82% improvement, compared to 18% for those taking a placebo.

Michele Bachmann's high-profile entrance into the 2012 presidential race has been a boon to a media with a short attention span for issues pertinent to statecraft. Largely ignoring any actual qualifications the Minnesota congresswoman might have to abandon her position in the nation's most important governing body and serve instead as President, news reporters, "journalists," and political commentators have, instead, fixated over the past few weeks on where Bachmann attends church, what medications she may or may not be taking for a "medical condition," and her husband's education and career. For instance, the media thought it important to drill down deep to find out why the Bachmann family left one church to join another. Similarly, in the journalistic tradition of the National Enquirer, the Daily Caller employed a series of anonymous quotes from "former" aides, advisors, and such to create a sensational news story about a "stress-related condition" that supposedly "incapacitates" Bachmann on a regular basis. With a headline that alleged "heavy pill use" on the part of the Minnesota congresswoman, the story couldn't fail to gain traction among a news media hungry for any bit of spice in Bachmann's candidacy.

CLEVELAND -- State Representative Mike Foley of Cleveland says it's time to take a new look at an old question.
Should big landowning non-profits like the Cleveland Clinic who don't pay property tax on most of their land and buildings offer other financial help to city schools?
Foley says passage of the schoolstransformation plan and school levy mark a new day and a logical opportunity to reexamine the question.
He's suggesting the Clinic, University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University consider voluntary payments to help the schools.
Foley claims the Clinic owns 4.5 percent of all real estate in Cleveland. And most of it goes untaxed.
"The behemoth financial empires that exist, they have to help out. It's a matter of fairness. They've got the wealth. They've got the resources," he said.
Foley wrote an op-ed piece in Sunday's paper that included some errors. He said the Clinic does not pay a dime in property tax.
But it does on buildings like the Intercontinental Hotel not directly related to its main medical mission. The Clinic claims it will pay more than $8 million in propertytaxes in Cuyahoga County this year.
The last time this issue was raised was in 2005. The Clinic voluntarily donated more than $10 million in cash and services to Northeast Ohio Schools. But that specific commitment ended.
The Clinic supported last year's school levy and campaign goals. It claims it partners with Cleveland schools on programs to enhance students' education and well being.
Foley points to arrangements in other cities called PILOTs, Payments in Lieu of Taxes, to compensate for not paying property tax. He cites a study that 218 jurisdictions in 28 states use pilots.
In 2004, the group Policy Matters calculated if the Clinic paid normal property tax it would owe $12 million a year.
Asked what he thought a fair compensation for the Clinic would be, Foley suggested the discussions start at $10 million/year for ten years.
The Clinic's been fighting an 11-year legal battle in Beachwood trying to get a property tax exemption for its Family Health Center. A state tax commissioner agreed with Beachwood Schools argument that the facility should be taxed because it provides little or no charity care. Another hearing is slated for early this year.
Similar Clinic facilities in 6 other cities have been ruled to be exempt and meet state standards for exemption.
The Clinic is Northeast Ohio's largest employer.
The Clinic declined to provide a spokesperson for an interview. It issued a statement saying, "In 2011, Cleveland Clinic provided more than $552 million in community benefits and had a $10.5 billion economic impact on Northeast Ohio. Cleveland Clinic has a longstanding history of supportingNortheast Ohio and will continue to do so in the future."
Foley says he is not targeting churches or Cleveland sports teams who also have property tax exemptions...yet.
He claims becausethe Clinic is a multi-billion dollar enterprise with national and global facilities it could easily afford to do more.He says in a city where many poor residents will shoulder more burden to help the schools, it's a matter of fairness.
Tom Beres will have more tonight on Channel 3 News.

The recently released movie The Big Year — featuring a cast of well-known faces and a number of poignant and also comical scenes — focuses on a group of bird-watchers who allow their pride to interfere with everything that's important in life. With a positive pro-family message and loads of humor, it's a family friendly film for audiences of all ages.
Kenny Bostick (Owen Wilson) is very proud of his "Big Year," wherein he spotted 732 different species of birds — a record in birding history.
Naturally, other bird-watchers are trying to break such a coveted record, and Brad Harris (Jack Black) and Stu Preissler (Steve Martin) turn it into a fierce (and humorous) competition — at times even a contact sport.
Harris — gifted with the ability to recognize the species of any bird simply by its call — nevertheless does not have the financial means to be chasing his feathered friends across the globe; therefore, he must figure out an economical way to top Bostick's record.

OGDENSBURG The president of the Fort La Presentation Association said she was blindsided Friday by state Attorney General Eric T. Schneidermans announcement of an $8.05 million settlement with the ExxonMobil Oil Corp. for the cleanup of a former oil storage facility at Lighthouse Point.
The energy company will reimburse the state for costs for the sites 2006-07 cleanup of an oil storage facility at the site, on a peninsula along the St. Lawrence and Oswegatchie rivers. The settlement will go toward the costs incurred by the states Environmental Protection and Spill Compensation Fund in the state comptrollers office to investigate and remediate the spill.
But Barbara J. OKeefe said the Fort Association was promised a $2.25 million spill fund share of a $6 million settlement with ExxonMobil in December 2006 that never came through and was replaced by Fridays agreement that left the fort group out.
Im totally blindsided, she said. Im totally disappointed that we werent part of the settlement.
The association, Mrs. OKeefe said Friday, still plans to pursue compensation for losses resulting from petroleum contamination of its Lighthouse Point property, where it wants to build a replica of the 1749 mission fort built by French Sulpician priest Abbe Francois Picquet. It was Northern New Yorks first European and Native American settlement.
So far, according to Mrs. OKeefe, ExxonMobil has paid the association $100,000 for technical and legal fees.
The settlement was reached last week in Albany County Supreme Court.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Schneidermans office in New York declined Friday to explain why the 2006 settlement fell through as well as why the association was left out of the new agreement.
From the late 1800s until 1984, ExxonMobil and preceding companies owned and operated oil storage facilities on the point. It was composed of a barge dock for the receipt of petroleum deliveries via the Oswegatchie River and the main rail terminal.
In July 2001, petroleum contamination was discovered at the site when an environmental assessment found contaminated soil on a parcel next to the main terminal. An investigation revealed petroleum contamination in and around the former main terminal and near underground pipelines connecting the terminal to the river.
The main terminal contained seven above-ground tanks that stored gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and kerosene, a truck loading rack and 1,500 feet of subsurface pipelines that connected the barge dock to the terminal. An estimated 8 billion gallons of petroleum were distributed annually from the terminal to tanker trucks for retail distribution during its operation.
Its only right that corporations who jeopardize the sanctity of New Yorks natural resources should have to pay for the damage they caused, Mr. Schneiderman said in a news release. Through todays agreement, were not only returning millions to the state but also holding ExxonMobil responsible for their role in this oil spill. My office is glad to have secured the best deal for New Yorkers and for our environment.
Mrs. OKeefe disagreed.
We werent even part of the discussion, she said.
Mayor William D. Nelson was pleased with Mr. Schneidermans announcement.
But he hoped for more.
I think its great news that ExxonMobil has agreed reimburse the state, Mr. Nelson said. Itd be nice if they gave some of that money to Fort La Presentation. We all want to see some buildings up there.
