As the release of the Unlocked Motorola Droid has caught the attention of the entire world of the smartphone, we have got reports that Samsung and carriers Verizon Wireless are engaged in finalizing their agreement where they will release the Fascinate which is Verizon's version of the Galaxy S and Gem which are the two most popular Android phones which are currently out in the market. We have got some great details of the release and more which we can tell you about. Above all, one needs to know that these phones have succeeded in a major way in the international market and this release with Verizon is just going to put it at a notch higher than what it was for this phone. Sales are expected to be higher because of this fact that people are already pretty familiar with this phone and therefore are well aware of the specs for this device.
Other major networks in the country are also pretty much hyped about the release of the Samsung Unlocked Galaxy S (variants) where there have been carriers like T-Mobile who are have already come up with their variations of the Galaxy S. The T-Mobile Vibrant and the AT&T Captivate are some of the variants which are there in the market. As for the Verizon variant, this phone has specs which are pretty similar to the other ones. The most eye catching feature will definitely be the WVGA super AMOLED screen and the 5 megapixel camera without forgetting the pretty strong 1GHz Hummingbird processor. You will also get the capability to record 720p HD video and the Android 2.1 platform with the Touchwiz 3.0 UI is however slightly changed for the Verizon as it now comes with a metallic body which just adds to the look of the phone. We however do not know much about the Gem which is set to launch with Verizon only in September.

While the actual main product which will be known as Open webOS 1.0 will not be released until September, they've already got the Enyo piece of the pie available today.

It's time to get along.
It has recently come to my attention that individuals at the Carbon School District are again attacking the integrity, education and educators at Pinnacle Canyon Academy.
In my opinion, this kind of behavior has gone on far too long. It is time to bury the hatchet and get along. We are all in the business of educating and meeting the needs of children. Not our children or your children, but all children in our community. We are a small community and we should all be modeling good character for these precious individuals who learn more from what we do than what we say.
In a time when the federal government has put into place standards to improve schools, much emphasis has been put on high stakes testing. Schools are now being compared and judged against each other based on a small snapshot of information. Just as we encourage parents to look at more than one test to judge their child's success, everyone should take the same approach when looking at school performance.
When looking at data, it is important to look at not just the numbers that are showing, but what goes into the numbers. When looking at AYP and UP ASS results, we must take into consideration what demographics make up the numbers. For example, all of these high stakes, one moment in time, test reports give an overall grade and school score. However, they also break down the results into sub groups, such as ethnicity, economically disadvantaged, and students with disabilities. Students are considered as students with disabilities when they have a learning deficit of more than two years. Schools with a higher percent of students in this category typically will score lower than schools with a lower percent.
A report was recently circulated by the school district comparing their most affluent school with a very low percent of students with disabilities in Pinnacle Canyon. This report had some erroneous information, but most noticeably missing were the percentages of students with disabilities. When comparing data, it is important to compare like information. When you compare a K-6 school with less than 15 percent students with disabilities to a K-8 school with more than 30 percent students with disabilities; it is like comparing apples and oranges. They are not the same.
Although schools are judged publicly based on these reports, all of the schools in Carbon and Emery counties are doing great things. We have great schools in our area, not because the test results say so, but because of our most important resource: our people. All of the schools both elementary and secondary have awesome teachers, staff, administration, and parents; but most importantly our schools have our most precious resource: our children. Walk into any school in this area, and you will find students learning, parents and community members volunteering, teachers, not only teaching, but also worrying about specific students. We all have a common goal, and that is meeting the needs of the students we serve.
Pinnacle Canyon is a school that serves the needs of 364 students. The high stakes reports don't show the individual successes, such as the 9th grade student who improved her reading fluency and comprehension five levels in nine months. To that student and her parents, the Criterion Reference Test results show a minor portion of what this young lady has accomplished.
In the beginning years of Pinnacle Canyon, our administrations and families had a friendly and mutually respectful relationship. Something happened approximately five years ago. That is when the focus was taken off the most important part of education, the children.
One of the misconceptions that has been floating around our community in recent years is that PCA has financially hurt the district. Although the district doesn't get the regular WPU (weighted pupil unit) for students who attend PCA; they don't provide services for these students either. Something that many people don't often hear is that every year, Carbon School District receives local levy money (from local property taxes, approximately $500,000) for all the students who attend Pinnacle Canyon. The district receives this money without providing any services to the students at Pinnacle Canyon. It seems to me that this is a bonus to the district.
Pinnacle Canyon, just like Castle Heights, Helper Jr. High, Carbon High and all the schools in Carbon County wants what is best for the population we serve. We all want to help the students in our community to become productive, respectful, responsible citizens.
Pinnacle Canyon represents choice. Just like the many rights that we have in our country, parents have the right to choose what is best for their own children. After all parents are the most important teachers in a child's life, and know what is best for them.
When deciding which school is the most successful, forget about the high stakes tests and public reports, which may or may not have complete information. Just ask yourself some simple questions: Is this school meeting my child's needs and helping him/her be successful? Is my child achieving and happy? Isn't that what is most important anyway?
I am extremely grateful to live in a country where I have the right to choose and to think for myself. It is my belief that we can all live in the same community together, not only peacefully, but we can interact and rely on each other's strengths to show our students that we have great integrity and character. It is up to us all to make this happen.
Our hand is out, please take it and together we will strengthen our community and our children.

The Orioles came to an agreement with 31-year-old outfielder Nate McLouth on Wednesday. According to sources, the deal will be worth $2 million for one year, with additional bonuses totaling $500,000 for reaching 550 plate appearances.
McLouth's return is a welcomed one, as both parties were interested in working out a deal and the outfielder became a fan favorite for his energetic and productive performance down the stretch and in the playoffs in 2012. Considering the free agent market for veteran outfielders -- 32-year-old Shane Victorino and 31-year-old Angel Pagan recently agreed to multiyear deals worth $39 and $40 million respectively -- the contract is clearly on team-friendly terms, despite McLouth's rocky recent history. The 31-year-old outfielder would barely need to perform above replacement level to earn his keep.
Dan pretty much covered my thoughts.
If Reimold is healthy and they can platoon in LF that would be best.

As Samaritan Summit Village says goodbye to one leader, it welcomes another.
Dennis C. Casey, who has been interim administrator of skilled nursing since Samaritan Summit Village opened this spring, will leave Friday. He is the former administrator of the now closed Mercy Care Center of Northern New York.
Samaritan Summit Village Nursing Director Elaine OBrian also is no longer with the organization.
According to a Samaritan news release, Samaritan Assistant Vice President of Compliance Barbara E. Morrow will assume the skilled nursing administrator role until there is a permanent replacement. Barbara Fargo, a registered nurse, has been appointed nursing director of the 288-bed assisted-living and skilled-nursing facility.
These leadership changes were necessary in order to move the Samaritan Summit Village forward in the wake of the unprecedented change that is on the horizon with health care reform, Anthony E. Joseph, Samaritan vice president of long-term care, said in a prepared statement. These two very experienced professionals will help us navigate through these challenges to ensure that our residents and the community have continued access to the exceptional level of care offered at Samaritan Summit Village.
Samaritan spokeswoman Krista A. Kittle said Mrs. Morrow will continue her vice president role while handling the additional responsibilities as skilled nursing administrator. The original intent was to search for a replacement for Mr. Casey before now, but Samaritan had to get its feet wet in operating the 17.1-acre complex.
We were not moving forward with the recruitment when he was interim, Ms. Kittle said. Well be looking for a full-time, permanent position to fill that role.
Samaritan also is recruiting more staff, she said, so it can fully open the remaining two units: the third floor of the assisted-living component and the fourth floor of the skilled-nursing component.
Ms. Kittle said Samaritan has struggled to fill needed positions, which mainly are certified nursing assistant.
CNA is a very high-demand position, she said. Were in the process of recruiting and training CNAs for those roles.
Both Samaritan and the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services have CNA training programs. Some of the 42 Samaritan staff members who will be reassigned as part of the overall organizations workforce restructuring plan may fill some of those open CNA positions at Samaritan Summit Village.
Samaritan job opportunities can be found on its website, www.samaritanhealth.com.

TDA has used the money to fund job positions and a website, among other things.
The website is where much of TDA's focus is going. According to Holton, over 70 percent of people research destinations on the internet before going on vacation.

Saunders, Marcum and Myers all seeking two-year deals
Lavelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune says Joe Saunders, Shaun Marcum, and Brett Myers are all seeking two-year deals this winter.
Neal says the Twins aren't interested in any of those pitchers on two-year deals, but could consider one of them if they each lower their demands.
Last week, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post said the Mets were interested in Saunders and Marcum, as well as Carl Pavano, Francisco Liriano, and Chris Young.
Liriano reportedly agreed to a two-year, $14 million deal with the Pirates last week.
Michael Baron, ContributorLiriano's deal with Pittsburgh could have set the barometer for this level of the starting pitching market. This is part of a trend which has lasted all winter, which are increased prices for starting pitching regardless of talent. It's not to say these prices won't come down, especially as the off-season continues and they remain unsigned with Spring Training approaching. But if they don't come down, I don't see the Mets handing out two-year deals to any of these pitchers; Zack Wheeler is close, and a two-year deal to one of these guys limits their rotation and roster flexibility when it comes time to promote him.

Giving to the CSU is Strong in 2008-09, Despite Economy
Giving to the CSU is Strong in 2008-09, Despite Economy
Erik Fallis (562) 951-4800
(January 27, 2010) – Alumni and friends of the California State University continue to provide strong support for the university, according to the CSU Annual Report on External Support presented today to the Board of Trustees.
The CSU received $366 million in charitable gift commitments during 2008-09. Gift receipts (new gifts and pledge payments) totaled more than $260 million, nearly matching the previous year's record-breaking total.
"Despite economic hardship, supporters of the university rallied to uphold the CSU mission of educational quality and access," said Garrett P. Ashley, CSU vice chancellor for university relations and advancement. "Our friends and alumni understand the path back to recovery runs through the university classroom."
According to the report, which covers external support received from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009, donors provided more than $173 million for student scholarships, academic initiatives and other current university needs or objectives. Another $81 million went to new facilities, endowments and irrevocable deferred gift accounts.
Only $6.5 million received were unrestricted gifts, which the university can allocate towards its most pressing needs. These unrestricted dollars represent two percent of total gift receipts, consistent with previous years.
CSU endowments suffered a 17 percent investment loss, comparable to a national university average loss of 19 percent. Donors contributed $39 million in new gifts to endowments, with over half of those contributions dedicated to student scholarships.
In addition to charitable support, the CSU also received more than $1.5 billion in operating grants and contracts, of which $268.5 million came from one-time federal stimulus funds. Federal grants reported included student financial aid of $423 million in Pell Grants, $11.5 million in State Educational Opportunity Grants, and $16 million for work study programs. The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds helped partially mitigate the funding gap created by severe state budget cuts.
Gift Receipt (by designation)
Academic programs - $77.2 million
Endowments (primarily for student scholarships) - $39 million
Facilities construction - $25 million
Public service programs - $23.8 million
Irrevocable deferred gifts - $17 million
Student scholarships (not through endowments) - $15.2 million
Athletics - $14.4 million
Applied research -$9.6 million
Faculty compensation - $2.5 million
Physical plant operations - $1.9 million
Library operations - $1.6 million
Designations for other university needs - $26.7 million
Unrestricted - $6.5 million

WALDOBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A battle between the State of Maine and the Passamaquoddy Tribal Government could result in the closing of Maine's elver fishery.
Elvers are small translucent eels which are selling for $2500 a pound. The state alleges that the tribe issued 375 illegal licenses and the sheer volume of fishermen could destroy the fishery.
The state alleges that it has a deal with the tribe which limits the Passamaquoddys to 200 licenses. The tribe says it has rights to the fishery and that it will stand its ground and encourage its people to continue to fish for elvers.
Maine is by far the largest fishery for elvers. South Carolina is the only other state which even allows the netting to go on and they issue only five licenses, according to the Maine Marine Patrol. Maine issues a little more than 600 licenses. The Passamaquoddy's have the right to issue 200 according to the state.
Last week, the state voided all Passamaquoddy licenses saying the tribe had not submitted a list of license holders to the state and therefore had not abided by state law.
When the Passamaquoddys did submit a list Friday afternoon, the state amended its action and said the first 150 Passamaquoddy licenses were legal. They are in the process of making 50 more licenses legal. This additional 50 are limited to dipping for elvers on the St. Croix river.
On Sunday night, Marine Patrol Officers confiscated four nets and are in the process of seeing if they can summons the owners.
The Passamaquoddys say they will stand their ground and continue to fish for elvers.
On Monday, there was a heated exchange between Governor Paul LePage and Chief Clayton Cleaves. In this discussion, LePage threatened to withhold his pledged support for the Truth and Reconciliation Act.
Tribal leaders have told NEWS CENTER that they will continue to fish.
Colonel Joe Fessenden of the Maine Marine Patrol says his organization is sworn to uphold the law. He said he hopes that they can appeal to the Passamaquoddys civilly in order to protect the resource, but that his organization is prepared to make more arrests if they must.

From the arid regions in the West and South to the dramatic seasonal differences in the Sydney area, Australia's climate offers many challenges for a woman's skin. In 2000, cosmetic practitioner Dr. Douglas Grose developed a line of skin care solutions designed to help Australian women have beautiful complexions despite harsh climactic conditions and other environmental stressors. The success of his skin care collection at home led to its worldwide expansion, so now women can use ASAP to fight the effects of dryness during cold New York winters, pollutants during sweltering Los Angeles summers and everything in between.
The ASAP skin care collection uses potent forms of proven ingredients to help protect and heal the skin. Grose has included alpha hydroxy acids to naturally lift away damaged cells as well as antioxidants to reduce harmful free radicals in the environment to benign water and oxygen. Form your daily skin care routine with the ASAP skin care lineup, and you can effectively, yet gently normalize your skin and shield it from signs of aging for lasting beauty.
The ASAP skin care collection has grown to become the number one selling cosmeceutical skincare range in Australia not just because of the remarkable ability that their products have to rejuvenate and beautify the skin. The brand is also committed to product purity and safety, rigorously testing every formula to ensure that it is well tolerated by a variety of skin types. All ASAP products are free of harsh surfactants, artificial fragrances and ingredients derived from animals. This makes them suitable for women and men with sensitive complexions as well as for those committed to vegan lifestyles.
While the ASAP skin care collection includes products for a wide variety of concerns, the brand is especially well known for producing solutions for two of the most common skincare concerns among men and women: acne and signs of aging. The acne treatment range uses natural acids to remove cellular debris that can clog the pores and contribute to breakouts. In the anti-aging range, you'll find products that both address existing imperfections and serve as a shield against the oxidative damage that can worsen wrinkling.
To create the perfect regimen using formulas in the ASAP skincare collection, follow the brand's approach to daily routines. Begin with Cleansing and Exfoliating formulas and then add Correct and Prevent products geared toward your individual concerns. Then, you can add the Moisturize and Protect products that your skin needs to remain nourished and defended against the effects of sun damage and free radical exposure.

PORTLAND - The University of Maine women's basketball squad (1-8) fell to visiting Rhode Island (4-6) in neutral site action at the Portland Expo in Portland, Maine by a score of 51-38. The Black Bears were led by Ashleigh Roberts (Wilmington, Del.) who netted 14 points with three rebounds. Anna Heise (Halle, Germany) scored seven points with four rebounds while fellow freshman Liz Wood (Catlett, Va.) tallied six points with seven rebounds.
Samantha Tabakman led all scorers for the Rams with 23 points and eight rebounds while Tayra Melendez tallied nine points and six rebounds.
The Black Bears struggled early as they trailed by 14 at the break after shooting 14.8% from the field in the opening half. Rhode Island used a 7-0 run midway through the opening half to build a seven point lead after Tabakman converted a layup to make it 14-7. After a jumper from Chantel Charles (London, U.K.) made it a five point game, the Rams strung together an 8-0 run to build their lead to 13 with 2:29 to play in the half. Maine cut the lead to 11 on a pair of Milica Mitrovic (Belgrade, Serbia) free throws but Rhode Island responded to take a 27-13 lead into the break.
Maine opened the second half on a 7-2 run to cut the Rhode Island lead to single digits. Working of a steal from Wood, Roberts converted a layup while getting fouled. Roberts knocked down her free-throw to cut the lead to 11. After a Rhode Island make, Roberts worked the ball inside, finding Heise on the right block for two. Out of a timeout, Maine worked its offense as Heise found Wood for a jumper to cut the lead to 29-20 just over four minutes into the second half.
The Rams responded, running its lead back to 14 before the Black Bears again began their charge as Mikaela Gustafsson (Sodertalje, Sweden) hit a streaking Roberts with a pass. Roberts would convert the layup and again draw a foul on the play. After a made free throw from Roberts, Maine's defense worked to get the ball back. Wood battled down low on the opposite end, ripping down an offensive board and going back up strong for two. Following a Rhode Island bucket, Wood kicked a pass out to Sophie Weckström (Espoo, Finland) who knocked down the three. Another free throw from Roberts and a layup from Heise brought Maine back to within five with just over 10-minutes to play in the second half.
Rhode Island once again answered the Maine run with an 8-2 charge of its own to regain a 13 points lead with 5:38 to play. The Black Bears continued to chip away but came up short in the end, dropping the contest 51-38 to the Rams.
Maine returns to action on Monday as it travels to meet Bryant in Smithfield, R.I. Game time is slated for 1 PM.

First ensure that your service is running (and I reccomend changing the port it runs on).
Next, ensure that the service is running.
Thirdly, ensure that any port forwarding thats needed is in action (as in you are behind a router/gateway)
Fourth, ensure that your settings are correct in the client. Generally (I think Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora are this way) root cannot login by default, and that is good. Setup sudo and use sudo su to gain root if you must, otherwise just using sudo is a good practice.
Your client (putty, which rocks BTW), will need the hostame/ip, port, username, and then finally your password.
That should be it. I have setyup tons of systems with ssh/sudo for years now, without issue (Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, and OpenBSD). Its probably a port forwarding issue if you ask for my one guess.

"Don't let the bed bugs bite" became a real life expression for an area man. According to him, his used bed purchase came with an unwanted bonus, and his situation only seemed to worsen when he tried to return it.
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Detroit all make up the top 10 list of U.S. cities being invaded by bed buds, according to Terminex. In July, the bed bug roulette rolled to a stop in the Glass City, courtesy of a local store - at least that's what one customer claims.
While he wishes to remain anonymous, his pictures are proof. The man says he paid $95 for a used, bed bug infested mattress at the Monster Resale Shop in Toledo along Upton Avenue. While some may say, "That's what you get for buying a bed at a second-hand store," some say not so fast. Consumers have protection against unsanitized, unlicensed and untagged materials at the hands of business owners. So Toledo News Now's Jenna Lee went undercover with a hidden camera to investigate.
During the visit to the Monster Resale Shop July 10, an employee offered to sell Jenna a used queen mattress, headboard and box spring for $125. When asked if the bed had been sanitized, the employee said, "We're supposed to have tags, but the lady never came back. I don't know what the deal is. The state is pretty lax."
Jenna then reached out to the Ohio Department of Commerce to inquire. Spokesman Matt Mullins said the Monster Resale Shop was not registered with the state to sell used mattresses, so the department sent an inspector to follow-up on the matter July 17.
"We found that they were selling items that were regulated by us and were required to be a second-hand dealer. We informed the owner of that and gave information about registration and other requirements for properly sanitizing and tagging the items they were going to be selling. The owner stated they weren't interested in being a second-hand dealer. He was then ordered to remove all items from their sales floor," said Mullins.
Our hidden camera dropped by again July 26 to find used mattresses stacked up against walls and grouped on floors for sale.
"It is violation of Ohio law to sell these items when you're not registered and they've not been properly sanitized," said Mullins.
The owner was also issued two letters from the Ohio Department of Commerce, ordering him to comply by removing several items, including mattresses.
The most recent inspection by the department was conducted Aug. 12. During that time, the owner said the store was in the process of disposing of the mattresses and any other items without a red tag and license number.
The department plans to return to the store again soon.
Our calls to the Monster Resale Shop for comment have gone unanswered.
The bed bug victim encourages consumers to research prior to purchase and check the Better Business Bureau's website. As of today, its review of the Monster Resale Shop includes an "F" rating, alerting potential customers of the store's unresolved complaints. The Better Business Bureau of Toledo requested background information from the business, but it too has not received a response.
The Department of Commerce is asking the public to file bed bug complaints via its hotline number 614-644-3964.

When: Friday, November 11, 7:00 p.m.
Opponent: vs. Carolina (5-7-3)
UPDATE: The NY Post's Larry Brooks reports that Marc Staal is scheduled to meet with Boston concussion expert Dr. Robert Cantu next week. Brooks also reveals that Cantu ordered a month-long shutdown from physical activity for Staal while the Rangers were in Western Canada. Staal has been resting at his apartment in Manhattan. (9:43 a.m.)
EARLIER: The surging Blueshirts will host yet another struggling
opponent when they take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night at Madison
Square Garden.
Like Ottawa, Carolina has dropped three-straight games
heading into their matchup with the Blueshirts and the Hurricanes have also
lost seven of their last nine.
During its current losing streak, Carolina has been
outscored 13-5 and if things don't change in a hurry, Coach Paul Maurice's job
could be in jeopardy.
At the heart of Carolina's problems has been the play of
captain Eric Staal, who has just five points in 15 games and is an embarrassing
minus-16, the worst rating in the league.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the New York Rangers
are winners of five-straight and are rapidly ascending the Eastern Conference
In stark contrast to Staal, New York's best offensive player
is dominating.
Marian Gaborik, the lynchpin of the newly named "G.A.S."
line with Artem Anisimov and Derek Stepan, has four goals in his last two games
and nine overall, tied for third in the NHL.
The G.A.S. line has accounted for New York's last six goals
and has produced eight
goals and 14 assists since being united five games ago.
Coach John Tortorella remains discontent with his other
forward combinations, but even though Brandon Dubinsky and Brian Boyle are
mired in scoring slumps the Rangers continue to pile up victories.
The G.A.S. line is drawing all the headlines, but perhaps
the bigger reason for New York's current five-game winning streak is that the
team has allowed just eight goals during its current run.
The tandem of Henrik Lundqvist and Martin Biron has been
splendid all season and has done a terrific job covering up any mistakes the
patchwork defense has made.
Top-notch goaltending is something we've come to expect from
New York, but a bona fide top line has been missing for years.
The Blueshirts appear to have found one and if they can get
players like Dubinsky and Boyle to start producing and find Brad Richards a
permanent home in the lineup, then the recent run of success may just be the
start of an enjoyable year.
- The last time the Blueshirts had a longer winning streak than this one came
between October 3 and October 17,, 2009 when New York won seven
games in a row.
- Following Friday's contest the Blueshirts will set out on a
four-game road trip starting with a visit to the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
- Anton Stralman won't be
making his debut on Friday.
- The NHL
All-Star Game fan ballot was released this afternoon and the Rangers listed
include Henrik Lundqvist, Marc Staal, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik. As usual, the league put out the ballot too
early in the season so guys like Staal are on it based on previous performances
and not current play. If the list was
based on this year alone, Dan Girardi would be on it without a doubt. But since he's not, Kevin DeLury at NYRangersBlog.com is spearheading
a write-in campaign to vote Girardi into the All-Star Game. Last year DeLury led a push to vote Sean
Avery into the game and even though Avery was an extremely polarizing
selection, he ended up with the 15th-most votes among forwards. Girardi should get more national support than
Avery did and with your help he could represent the Blueshirts in Ottawa. Voting opens on November 14th.

An Ogdensburg man has been indicted on federal allegations that he filed fraudulent tax-refund claims worth $36 million, according to a statement released Monday by U.S. Attorney Richard S. Hartunian.
The indictment enumerates a staggering list of alleged claims by Glenn Richard Unger from 2007 to 2011, including a $35 million refund sought in March 2008. Prosecutors allege fraudulent filings in Saratoga and Albany counties and activities in the Northern District of New York and elsewhere, although the indictment does not specifically mention Ogdensburg or St. Lawrence County.
No address for him was listed, and his connection to the area was unclear. Calls and an email to the U.S. attorneys office were not returned Monday afternoon.
A federal grand jury in Syracuse last month returned a seven-count indictment against Mr. Unger, 62, accusing him of obstructing and impeding the Internal Revenue Service. That indictment was unsealed last week in Albany, where Mr. Unger was arraigned Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Randolph F. Treece.
Court records show Mr. Unger appeared at a detention hearing without an attorney and requested his release. Judge Treece said he would consider releasing Mr. Unger only if he signs a bond for an unspecified amount and posts real property to support it. The detention hearing was adjourned until Wednesday to give Mr. Unger an opportunity to post a bond.
The indictment lists the following allegedly fraudulent tax-refund filings by Mr. Unger:
n On Dec. 28, 2007, a $238,406 refund for the 2004 tax year.
n On Dec. 31, 2007, a $200,000 nonresident alien refund for 2007.
n On Jan. 2, 2008, a $112,546 refund for 2005.
n On Jan. 7, 2008, a $2,729 refund for 2006.
n On Feb. 25, 2008, a $65,121 refund for 2006.
n On March 21, 2008, a $35 million refund for 2007 and a separate $266,847 refund for 2007.
n On July 8, 2008, a $285,973 refund for 2008.
On April 20, 2011, Mr. Unger allegedly went on to file refund and abatement requests of $5,761 for 2005; $17,235 for 2006; $17,153 for 2007, and $5,584 for 2008, as well as seeking a refund of $90,096 for gifts made that year, although the indictment does not say to whom they were made.
Additionally, on June 17, 2011, Mr. Unger allegedly filed a false document with the Saratoga County clerks office attempting to reverse a $116,410 tax lien from 2009 in which the IRS challenged his individual tax liabilities for tax years 2005 and 2006, and his frivolous filing penalties for 2004-08.
Upon receiving the false IRS forms, the IRS realized that they were fraudulent and did not issue any refund checks, Mr. Hartunian wrote.
A jury trial has been set for March 4 in Binghamton before Senior Judge Thomas J. McAvoy.
If found guilty, Mr. Unger faces up to 20 years in federal prison, followed by a term of supervised release of up to three years and a maximum fine of $250,000.

Today, a new step forward was taken by Verizon Wireless in overcoming communications barriers as has just introduced its new Group Communication, whereby different groups can be used as a means of communication. Verizon Wireless plans on bringing together family, friends or others together through the use of groups. Through this tool, it becomes possible for 20 people to talk together over voice calls, text or voice message. Currently being offered in two different versions by Verizon Wireless viz. the Family Group Contact and Group Contact, this tool is expected to benefit thousands of users of Verizon Wireless.
Through the use of The Family Group Contact, a 1-800 phone number will be provided that will automatically connect up to 20 people when called. Irrespective of the account you currently have, you can add as many Verizon Wireless subscribers as you want along with one non- Verizon Wireless member. Accessible by anyone in the group, this plan costs $5 per month.
On the other hand, Group Contact is the service that is aimed at small businesses. Each organization that chooses this service will be offered 7 groups, each which can hold up to 20 lines. With this plan, small business organizations can also include wireless, wire line and international numbers. The cost of the plan is $7 per month and each organization would have its very own 1-800 phone number.
Through these two new services introduced by Verizon Wireless, users can be assured of being able to instantaneously access their accounts. For instance, any user of the Family Group Contact would be able to connect with everyone else by simply dialing 888-VZ-GROUP. It now becomes possible to dial multiple contacts through just a single call, thereby allowing you to stay in touch with hard to reach contacts. You now have the ability of staying in contact with members beyond just your account. Landline as well as all domestic numbers are also supported.

Tops Friendly Markets announced today the company has completed the acquisition of four Big M Supermarkets stores in Watertown, Adams, Sandy Creek and Boonville.
The move completes an agreement made by Tops in March to purchase the stores from brothersWilliam J. and Gordon T. Bonisteel, who were co-owners. The combined 280 employees at the four locations will have the opportunity to keep their jobs under the plan.
The purchase by the grocery retailer expands its footprint further into northern and central New York and follows its previous acquisition of three Big M stores in Elbridge, Mexico and Jordan earlier this year.
We are excited about this growth opportunity for Tops, as we bring these new stores into the Tops family, said Frank Curci, Tops Markets president and CEO. These stores are a natural addition to our current footprint, and we look forward to meeting the needs of our new neighbors and customers, providing them with a positive shopping experience that focuses on variety, freshness, convenience and exceptional value.
Mr. Curci added that Tops will pursue a capital improvement program at the four stores, which will be remodeled andtransition to the Tops banner by late June.

While it is nice and all that they are doing this to encourage PvP and player interaction, I still feel that it would been easier to make changes to the flying mechanic so you do not need to put restrictions like this.
I mean, flying is fine in my book, but if it is vastly superior to ground mounts in every single way, then there is a balance problem, as I see it.
You could always just increase the casting time for getting on a flying mount or at least make sure it can not get up in the air immediately by just pressing spacebar.
Perhaps you could even restrict flying on mounts for a period of time (like a few seconds) when mounting up and then you could take up to the air? At least then it will not be so easy to just get away in a whim while at the same time not making flying useless.

Health Effects
Information for...
People in the U.S. are mainly exposed to methylmercury, an organic compound, when they eat fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury. Whether an exposure to the various forms of mercury will harm a person's health depends on a number of factors (below). Almost all people have at least trace amounts of methylmercury in their tissues, reflecting methylmercury's widespread presence in the environment and people's exposure through the consumption of fish and shellfish. People may be exposed to mercury in any of its forms under different circumstances. The factors that determine how severe the health effects are from mercury exposure include these:
- the chemical form of mercury;
- the dose;
- the age of the person exposed (the fetus is the most susceptible);
- the duration of exposure;
- the route of exposure -- inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, etc.; and
- the health of the person exposed.
Mercury exists in three chemical forms. They each have specific effects on human health.
- Methylmercury
- Elemental mercury
- Other mercury compounds (inorganic and organic)
Methylmercury effects
For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. Methylmercury exposure in the womb, which can result from a mother's consumption of fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury, can adversely affect a baby's growing brain and nervous system. Impacts on cognitive thinking, memory, attention, language, and fine motor and visual spatial skills have been seen in children exposed to methylmercury in the womb. Recent human biological monitoring by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1999 and 2000 (PDF) (3 pp., 42 KB, About PDF) shows that most people have blood mercury levels below a level associated with possible health effects. More recent data from the CDC support this general finding.
Outbreaks of methylmercury poisonings have made it clear that adults, children, and developing fetuses are at risk from ingestion exposure to methylmercury. During these poisoning outbreaks some mothers with no symptoms of nervous system damage gave birth to infants with severe disabilities, it became clear that the developing nervous system of the fetus may be more vulnerable to methylmercury than is the adult nervous system.
For more information on fish consumption advisories across the country, visit EPA's fish consumption web pages.
In addition to the subtle impairments noted above, symptoms of methylmercury poisoning may include; impairment of the peripheral vision; disturbances in sensations ("pins and needles" feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth); lack of coordination of movements; impairment of speech, hearing, walking; and muscle weakness. People concerned about their exposure to methylmercury should consult their physician.
Mercury and Cancer. No human data indicate that exposure to any form of mercury causes cancer, but the human data currently available are very limited. Mercuric chloride has caused increases in several types of tumors in rats and mice, and methylmercury has caused kidney tumors in male mice. Scientists only observed these health effects at extremely high doses, above levels that produced other effects. When EPA revised its Cancer Guidelines in 2005, the Agency concluded that neither inorganic mercury nor methylmercury from environmental exposures are likely to cause cancer in humans. More technical information is available in volume V of the 1997 Mercury Study Report to Congress (PDF) (349 pp., 1.2 MB, about PDF) (see especially pages 47, 80, 107, and 161 of the file).
Additional Information:
Additional information on the health effects of methylmercury is available from the IRIS database at http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0073.htm and EPA's Methylmercury Water Quality Criterion Web site at http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/methylmercury/index.html. You can also visit the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) toxicological profile for mercury.
Elemental mercury effects
Elemental (metallic) mercury primarily causes health effects when it is breathed as a vapor where it can be absorbed through the lungs. These exposures can occur when elemental mercury is spilled or products that contain elemental mercury break and expose mercury to the air, particularly in warm or poorly-ventilated indoor spaces. The first paragraph on this page lists the factors that determine the severity of the health effects from exposure to mercury. Symptoms include these: tremors; emotional changes (e.g., mood swings, irritability, nervousness, excessive shyness); insomnia; neuromuscular changes (such as weakness, muscle atrophy, twitching); headaches; disturbances in sensations; changes in nerve responses; performance deficits on tests of cognitive function. At higher exposures there may be kidney effects, respiratory failure and death. People concerned about their exposure to elemental mercury should consult their physician.
Additional Information:
Additional information on the health effects of elemental mercury is available from the IRIS database at http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0370.htm.
Effects of other mercury compounds (inorganic and organic)
High exposures to inorganic mercury may result in damage to the gastrointestinal tract, the nervous system, and the kidneys. Both inorganic and organic mercury compounds are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and affect other systems via this route. However, organic mercury compounds are more readily absorbed via ingestion than inorganic mercury compounds.
Symptoms of high exposures to inorganic mercury include: skin rashes and dermatitis; mood swings; memory loss; mental disturbances; and muscle weakness. People concerned about their exposure to inorganic mercury should consult their physician.
Additional Information:
Information on the health effects of mercuric chloride, an inorganic mercury compound, is available from the IRIS database at http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0692.htm. You can also visit the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) toxicological profile for mercury.

Environmental Sustainability E-Newsletter from the City of Colorado Springs
On Thursday, Aug. 27, the City of Colorado Springs Green Team invited the community to come out and join them for an Adopt-A-Waterway clean-up over an extended lunch hour. Work, sun, fun and food was enjoyed by all as attendees cleaned up along the waterway. With an important conservation twist, the group also recycled as much of the collected material as possible. In a show of community partnership over 50 attendees from eight different organizations, plus the general public, tuned out. Click here for photos. Thanks to all who made this event such a huge success!
Though City employees accumulated more than 1,190 alternative transportation commuter miles during an internal Green Team and Metro Rides challenge, the most inspiring result came from the numerous City employees who nominated Bob Rais (Youth Director at Meadows Park Community Center) who won the tile of "Rockin' Rider 2009". Rais (pictured with winner's bike innertube crown and bike pump scepter) not only models the use of alternative transportation himself, but he encourages the youth he mentors to incorporate "green" modes of transportation in their lifestyles as well.
Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009 - City/Utilities 2009 Green Fair... The City of Colorado Springs and Colorado Springs Utilities are teaming up once again to bring residents, the downtown business community and 50 exhibitors together. Attend 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the City Auditorium, 221 E. Kiowa Street, to learn about going green in our community!

Does anyone have any sort of photos of the custom 24 SE? I see on the website the pictures do not show if the top is beveled or has any sort of slant on it.
I've seen pictures (stock from PRS) and other pictures (stock from prs/ebay/craigslist) that show some have a beveled top and some are completely FLAT.
Here is the 3 examples and i just want clarification on what i'm purchasing.
(first black/grey shows body contour)
(second shows body contour / rounded edge/bevel)
(third shows "FLAT" surface and no bevel/rounded)
Can someone clarify since i don't want to purchase the "FLAT style" and want a beveled / contoured body

MASSENA - Phillip J. Marlow doesnt smoke, but his apartment in the Laurel Terrace complex in Massena tested positive for second-hand smoke.
His apartment is one of 100 units in the building on 9 Laurel Ave., and the neighbors on either side of him smoke.
The smoke infiltrates all of the apartments, he said. When I talked to the Massena Housing Authority, they just told me that people have the right to smoke in their own apartment, but what about my right to breathe fresh air in my apartment?
Mr. Marlows predicament is something that Benjamin R. Todd, tobacco program coordinator for the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department, hopes to bring to an end throughout the county.
Mr. Todd started an initiative last fall to spread awareness and education about smoke-free housing facilities across the county.
He said he is reaching out to housing authorities and landlords to talk to them about creating smoke-free policies in their buildings.
Its one of those things where we have to keep beating the drum and keep the information out there, he said. The main issue is that 60 percent of air within a multi-unit building is shared. Your neighbors smoke could be infiltrating your air.
Mr. Todd said some housing authority officials and landlords dont want to alienate any of their tenants.
They serve all of their tenants and dont want to single people out or make them feel unwelcome, he said. Our focus is not to attack people who smoke, but to create more opportunity for people who want to live in a smoke-free environment.
Mr. Todd said St. Lawrence County has a high smoking rate, which, he said, can be linked to the economic state of the county as well as education levels, according to studies.
Mr. Todd said that smoke-free housing initiatives have taken hold in other areas including Buffalo and Central New York.
As far as Ive heard, theres been a resounding thank you from residents, he said.
Positive feedback from tenants was music to the ears of Gregory W. Howe, Canton, when he decided to make his 87 rental units and surrounding property in Canton smoke-free in the mid-1980s.
Mr. Howe manages his familys Canton apartment rental business thats been around for over 50 years. The business includes 47 units at the Harrison House complex, 49 Judson St., and 36 units at Canton Town Houses on Ike Noble Road.
Mr. Howe said that in the early 80s, his family undertook major improvements to their apartments, but within a year smoke had left its mark.
He said his family found cigarette burns all over the brand-new carpets, and the walls and cabinets all smelled of smoke.
It created extra work for us, so I concluded that we would go smoke-free, he said. With 87 rental units, we have enough work to do without adding any extra.
Mr. Howe said he had to change the lease to add a bold-print clause stating that smoking and excessive candle use were not permitted in the apartments or on the property.
The vast majority were non-smokers, and smokers had the choice to either quit or move, he said. The majority embraced the switch and now theres less wear and tear, less work required when we turn over an apartment.
For Mr. Marlow, its an uphill battle.
Im in a fight to come to some kind of compromise with the housing authority, he said.
He said hed like to see a separate building for smokers and one for nonsmokers, but Katherine F. Allott, executive director of the Massena Housing Authority, said the complex is not big enough to do that.
We would love our apartments to be smoke-free because there is a lot of damage caused by smoke, she said. But its a matter of compliance, and we dont have the staffing to have someone policing people to make sure they dont smoke.
Ms. Allott said the common rooms, hallways and stairwells in their apartment complexes are smoke-free, and people who smoke outside need to be at least 25 feet from the building so the smoke doesnt enter other tenants windows.
Ms. Allott said part of the authoritys funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
I hope Mr. Todd is successful with his initiative. Its just hard when our operating funds get cut more and more each year, she said. I think at some point in time HUD will mandate smoke-free housing.
Mr. Todd said he doesnt expect policies to be adopted right away, but he hopes landlords and housing authorities will reach out to him to discuss how to go smoke-free.
I would like to see them begin to look at the benefits of smoke-free facilities, he said.

John DenverSinger / Songwriter / Actor
Born: 31 December 1943
Died: 12 October 1997 (airplane crash)
Birthplace: Roswell, New Mexico
Best known as: Folk-pop singer of "Rocky Mountain High"
Name at birth: Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.
John Denver was popular in the 1970s as the writer and singer of upbeat folk/pop tunes like "Rocky Mountain High," "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Thank God I'm A Country Boy." Denver was a superstar with an acoustic guitar, blonde hair and a clean-cut image; he also produced the hit singles "Sunshine On My Shoulders," "Back Home Again" and "Calypso" (a tribute to undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau). 15 of Denver's albums made it into the Top 40 charts between 1971 and 1982. He also acted a little, most notably in the film Oh, God! (1977, with George Burns) and in a series of TV Christmas specials, both by himself and with Jim Henson's Muppets. Denver died in 1997 when a small plane he was piloting crashed into Monterey Bay on the California coast.
Extra credit: Denver wrote the tune "Leavin' On a Jet Plane" that was a #1 hit for Peter, Paul and Mary in 1969... There is no truth to the rumor that John Denver was an Army sniper in the Vietnam War. A similar false claim has often been made about other notable nice guys, including TV host Mister Rogers... John Denver is no relation to Gilligan's Island actor Bob Denver.
