The Battery
Battery Park
Located at the southern tip of Manhattan with ready access to the harbor and the Hudson River, Battery Park is where the history of New York City began. The area's strategic location was recognized by Native Americans and Dutch settlers, who called it Capske Hook (from Kapsee, an Indian term for rocky ledge). Near this point, the colonists of the Dutch West India Company began the settlement of New Amsterdam in 1625. As the colony grew and its commerce expanded, piers, wharves, and slips rose along the coastline. The Dutch constructed Fort Amsterdam as early as 1626, and around 1683, the first of a series of gun batteries was constructed around the shore.
With its fine promenade and magnificent vista of the harbor, the Battery became a popular place for New Yorkers to visit in the early 18th century. Its development as a public park owes to its enlargement through landfill. Fort George (as Fort Amsterdam was then known) was completely razed in 1788, and its remnants were used to fill in the shore and expand the Battery. Between 1808 and 1811, a new circular fort known as the West Battery was erected 200 feet offshore. It was renamed Castle Clinton (for Governor De Witt Clinton) in 1815 and ceded to the City in 1823. Around this time, the park was extended further by landfills to an area of about ten acres. Another massive landfill project got underway in 1853 and was completed in 1872.
Meanwhile, the old fort was renamed Castle Garden and provided the setting for countless receptions, demonstrations, and performances for more than thirty years. General Lafayette was welcomed there in 1824 and Hungarian patriot Lajos Kossuth in 1851. Inventor Samuel F.B. Morse demonstrated his "wireless telegraph" in 1842, and singer Jenny Lind made her American debut in 1850. From 1855 to 1890 the building was used as the federal immigration center for the east coast, processing approximately eight million immigrants. In 1890 Castle Clinton was acquired by the New York City Department of Public Parks, which operated the New York Aquarium there from 1896 to 1941.
Portions of Battery Park were closed from 1940 to 1952, while the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and the Battery Park Underpass were built beneath it. Although construction was delayed by World War II, New Yorkers were delighted with the dramatically transformed park, completely relandscaped and expanded by two acres. Subsequent alterations include the addition of Peter Minuit Plaza in 1955 and the dedication of the East Coast Memorial in 1963. Castle Clinton was ceded to the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1950 and designated a national monument. In 1982 New York State designated Battery Park as a part of Harbor Park, a group of historic waterfront sites.
Battery Park contains many monuments honoring soldiers, explorers, inventors, and immigrants. In 1995 this American Linden (Tilia Americana) tree was planted as a tribute to singer Jenny Lind (1820-1887), whose performance at Castle Garden on September 11, 1850 was billed as the musical event of the century. Thanks to promoter P.T. Barnum, the arrival of the "Swedish Nightingale" caused a sensation in New York. Thousands of fans purchased Jenny Lind cakes, hats, boots, opera glasses, parasols, and concert tickets. At the concert, Lind earned $12,600, all of which she donated to charitable and benevolent institutions in New York City. She concluded her American tour with a farewell performance at Castle Garden on May 24, 1852.

|Cause of NCNG Fatal Crash Revealed
The cause of the fatal crash of a C130 plane in South Dakota last summer has been released by Federal investigators. Air Mobility Command released the results of the Accident Investigation Board involving the death of four Airmen—including one from Boone—and causing serious injuries
to two others. The crash occurred July 1while their Charlotte-based Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System-equipped C-130 Hercules was flying in support of a fire-fighting operation in South Dakota. The investigation determined the plane's cockpit crew's inadequate assessment of operational conditions resulted in the aircraft flying into a microburst and impacting the ground. The investigation also determined factors that substantially contributed to the mishap included the failure of the Lead Plane and Air Attack aircrews to communicate critical operational information; as well as conflicting operational guidance concerning thunderstorm avoidance. Major Ryan David of Boone was killed in that crash. The aircraft was assigned to and flown by members of the 145th Airlift Wing, Air National Guard, out of Charlotte, N.C. and was flying out of Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., at the time of the incident.

@Brad Littlejohn - I agree, US Airports are far behind. Our airports are more like truck or bus stops. I hope this will bring much needed jobs in infrastructure construction and maintenance job.
They are a bit late in this game, especially when you have the amenities at airports such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lampur, Tokyo, etc., that would spank the pants off of amenities at US airports. Yes, they are 'boosting' the layover experience, but compared to other places in the world, they have a long, LONG way to go.

SMITHFIELD — The future was on display for Cumberland on Thursday afternoon inside Smithfield High's gymnasium, and judging by the way the Clippers performed in its non-league game against Woonsocket, the future looks very bright for the program.
Freshman guard Julianne Ross delivered her second 10-point output in as many games and sophomore guard Taylor Fay and Sarah Marsland had solid performances as well in the Clippers' 39-23 victory over the Villa Novans in the opening game of the 27th annual R.I. Board of Officials/Smithfield Boosters Club Holiday Classic.
The Clippers, who rolled out a starting lineup that included two freshmen, two sophomores, and one of their four senior captains, Kait Engels, broke out to a quick 10-0 lead and never looked back in boosting their early record to 2-0.
"This is a very talented group," Cumberland coach Deb Engels noted of her underclassmen. "The majority of them came from North (Cumberland Middle School) and they won a lot of state championships there, so they're used to winning, and that carries forward. They play hard, they work hard, and they're a great group of girls."
Engels gave a dozen players quality time on the floor over the course of the contest and kept her starting five on the bench with a little over eight minutes left in the game and the Clippers holding a comfortable 32-16 command.
While Ross, who also dished out five assists and added three of the Clippers' 13 steals in the game, enjoyed a strong game, so did Fay, who added six points and two steals, and Marsland, who didn't score, but came through with four steals and three assists.
And the veterans also came to play. Junior forward Caitlin Cotter (eight rebounds) and Engels each tossed in six points, and another senior captain, Allie Baglini, contributed nine rebounds.
As for the Villa Novans, the youth movement is also under way, as they are fielding a 12-player team with just one senior, only a handful of returnees from last winter's one-win squad, and most of its numbers in the junior and sophomore classes.
One of those juniors, power forward Aveanne Osagie, had a superb afternoon that included 10 points, 13 rebounds, five blocked shots, and three steals, and another 11th grader, Tayla Sevigny, had six points, but the rest of the day's news wasn't that good for Woonsocket.
The Villa Novans committed 34 turnovers, double the number that the Clippers ended up with, and seven came in the first 5 1/2 minutes of play when the Clippers grabbed their 10-0 lead.
The Novans cut their deficit to six (18-12) at the break and managed to climb to within four (20-16) in the first 1:35 of the second half on back-to-back layups by Osagie. But the Novans couldn't buy a point for the next eight-plus minutes, and that allowed Cumberland to extend its lead to 16 and give its starters the rest of the afternoon off.
"We definitely have a lot of work to do," added Engels, "as I'm sure everybody does, but I still like what I have and what I can work with. I have a lot to teach them and they have a lot to learn, but they're more than willing to do what's needed."
The Clippers will return to action on Saturday at 3:30 p.m., as they will play either Lincoln or Mount St. Charles in the title game of the tournament's Blue Division. After that game, the Clippers and Villa Novans will renew acquaintances in their Division I-North opener on Friday, Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Clippers' Wellness Center.

As part of the seemingly never-ending drive to expand and centralize its own coercive power, the controversial European Union in Brussels is now targeting seeds and gardeners with a proposed new "law" aimed at regulating all "plant reproductive material" within the bloc. Despite strong backing by mega-corporations and genetic-engineering giants, however, the proposal has sparked a furious grassroots outcry around the world that transcends traditional political divides.
Critics are calling on the emerging EU super state to kill the scheme immediately. Over 200,000 people have already signed a petition against the plan. Another 35,000 signed a petition refusing to accept the scheme, and thousands more signed a separate statement vowing non-compliance. The growing coalition fighting back against the program brings together unlikely allies, too: environmentalists, leftists concerned about corporate power over government, libertarians, farmers, conservatives, liberals, gardeners, small-scale seed producers, advocates for national sovereignty, and more.
However, while Brussels policymakers are reportedly scrambling to amend the proposal in response to the unexpected tsunami of outrage, powerful lobbyists and the European establishment appear determined to ram through the nearly 150-page package of "reforms." There is major pressure behind the effort, which reportedly includes well-funded lobbying campaigns by companies such as Monsanto and other "Big Ag" interests seeking to consolidate their dominance over the seed market.
Top officials are onboard as well. "Smarter rules for safer food! This is how I can best summarize the important package of measures adopted today by the [European] Commission to reform Europe's agri-food chain," claimed European Commissioner for Health and Consumers Tonio Borg on May 6, when the proposal was tabled in the commission. Citing the recent horse-meat scandal in Europe and the existing byzantine regulatory regime, Borg claimed the scheme was urgent.
"We have to be proud of the system in place. It's probably the safest in the world," the health commissioner alleged before the commission, a bizarre hybrid body that includes both legislative and executive power. "But today's proposed reform aims to modernize, simplify and strengthen the legal framework governing official controls, animal and plant health and plant reproductive material to ensure a safer food chain."
For critics, however, the proposal must be shot down. Among the wide array of concerns expressed by opponents of the measure are the consequences on the freedom of small farmers, home gardeners, and independent seed producers. If approved, the EU assault would essentially outlaw any varieties that were not "registered" and "certified" by massive international agricultural firms working together with bureaucrats in Brussels. Seeds with "patented" genes and big money behind them, meanwhile, would see a major windfall as the propagators of traditional seed varieties deal with the wrath of out-of-control authorities.

I asked several of my colleagues to join the Staff "Get Moving Challenge". Two of them are busy working moms of young children. What I love about both of them is that they don't pull the 'mom card' as an excuse to not work out. Look what they have to say. Can you relate to their story? Besides finding classes during the day that fit their busy schedule they seem to have figured out the "buddy system"!
Brooke Holmes, Senior Development Associate:
I fall into the category of 'like to work out, but don't have much time for it'. I'm a mom of a 3-year-old, work full time, commuting from Cedar Park to downtown Austin. I leave my house before 8am and don't get home until 6:30pm. It's then my second job kicks in. I begin the evening routine of making dinner, a little playtime with my daughter and then get her ready for bed. By the time she is asleep and the house is cleaned up, it is 10:00pm. I am tired.
Working out is important to me; it makes me feel good. I have to find time to make it happen. Ballet Austin's Butler Community School daytime classes are perfect; a mix of cardio and strength training which I love, and both are available during the day. My favorites are Arms & Abs, Below the Belt, Pilates Ballet Barre, and for cardio I like Pilates Cardio Workout and Turbo Kick® (love, love, love this one!).
I think it is really important to take care of yourself even when you are a mom, especially when you're a mom; really busy and working a lot. When I don't work out, I feel more tired and more stressed out. When I do work out it makes me a better person and a better mom. So, I make the time during times when I can, and am always glad when I do.
Christi Cuellar Lotz, Development Director
As the mother of an 18-month-old daughter, working out has found its place in many different places on my priority list over the last year and a half…including the bottom of the list. Last summer she loved riding in a jogging stroller and was up early enough in the morning to allow me the opportunity to get a good 30-45 minute walk in before work. NOW, however, she's a fantastic sleeper, and you know what they say…"Never wake a sleeping baby!" So, with a travelling husband, those early-morning walks are a thing of the past.
Though I'm not opposed at all to a post-work-day workout, as we enter the 100+ degree days of summer, I'm also not crazy. There are times I'll brave it, but mostly not. The Butler Community School daytime fitness classes are such a blessing! I try to take at least 3 per week, and my favorites are Arms & Abs, Pilates Ballet Barre, Below the Belt, occasionally Turbo Kick®, and Pilates Cardio. All allow for a great work-out, targeting various sections of my body, and don't get me too sweaty to get back into work clothes 20 or so minutes later.
I also find, like my colleague, Brooke, that I feel more alert and less stressed when I work out… Sometimes when that 45 minutes is the absolute only gap in my day, and I feel like I should sit and answer email instead of take the class, Brooke talks me into going and I don't ever regret it!
Join Christi and Brooke in a class soon. Working mom near downtown? Check out some of the dance and fitness classes and workshops offered at Ballet Austin's Butler Community School.

Citizen Eco-Drive is fueled by light, it never needs a battery. Eco-Drive it's unstoppable. Eco-drive technology harnesses the power of light from any light source. Both natural and artificial light are absorbed through the crystal and the dial, than a special solar cell converts light and stores it as energy. The cell recharges continuously in any kind of light. It runs for at least two months even in the dark.
The Pro-Master Carbon Chronograph is ISO certified, is all stainless steel black ion-plated, has a 60-day power reserve, with a two day advanced low charge indicator and is accurate within +/- 15 seconds per month. Watch is equipped with luminescent hands and markers with bright orange and red ascent. Watch charges in both sunlight and indoors. The watch can tell you the correct depth to 125', has a maximum depth memory that is handy for logging your dives, and a one directional rotating elapsed-time carbon fiber bezel for safety.
The Eco-Drive is equipped with a 50-minute chronograph, 12-24 hour time formats with date. A non-reflective crystal, water resistant to 660' (200 Meters), a screw-in back case and screw-down crown along with a rubber wrist strap with expansion clasp for use over your exposure suit, and it never needs a battery! All this making the Pro-Master Carbon one sought after timepiece. Watch purchase includes the five year US warranty.
The Pro-Master Eco-Drive is an analog solar powered diver's timepiece which has an electronic depth meter and chronograph function built in. The solar power generation function transforms solar energy into electrical energy to run the watch. Since solar energy is used as the power source of this watch, it has no need of regular replacement of the battery unlike the general diver's watches using the mercury cell, etc. The built-in depth meter function automatically measures the depth in diving with the watch worn on the wrist. The maximum depth in diving is automatically memorized. The chronograph function measures the time in units of one second for 50 minutes.
Fully charging the watch with an overhead office light is usually insufficient, to achieve a full charge from a completely depleted power reserve, however, office light is sufficient for keeping the watch continually charged. It is recommended to use natural outdoor light, or recharge indoors with an incandescent (3,000 Lux) bulb 20" away from the watch in 18 hours, outdoors, cloudy (10,000 Lux) 5 hours and outdoors, sunny (100,000 Lux) in 2.5 hours.
This product has a limited warranty of 60 months.

Michael L. Binyon: I am the Democratic candidate for the Utah State Senate in District 27. The District includes all of San Juan, Grand, Emery and Carbon Counties and parts of southern Utah and Wasatch Counties. I have lived in Utah since 1975 and have lived in Moab since 1999. I am married, have three children, nine grandchildren and five great grand children. I am a 50-year member of Local Union 354 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and retired after having worked as a construction electrician for 42 years. The AFL-CIO endorses my candidacy. I am also the Chair of the Grand County Democratic Party. I am running for this office because I believe that there is too much unanimity of opinion in the Utah State Senate. I feel strongly that we need to have more diversity in the Legislature. I think that we must fund public education more adequately in the State, both K thru 12 and our local Universities and Colleges. It is embarrassing to note that Utah has the lowest per pupil funding in the Nation. In the 21st Century, it is more important then ever to properly educate our students. It is the job of the legislature to make sure that happens. I know that the coal industry has been a mainstay of this region's economy for a long time. As an electrician, I made a very good living back in the 70's and 80's working on the construction and maintenance of several of the powerhouse units in Emery County. ( I am well aware of the need for better enforcement of safety standards on mining and industrial sites in Utah.) But coal is being supplanted by both natural gas and renewable energy, and I think that we have to look ahead to other revenue sources for this area. I would be very supportive of bringing new industry here. Finally, under the Affordable Care Act, the state should set up a legitimate model exchange program and should fully participate in the expansion of Medicaid, so that all citizens have medical coverage.
David Hinkins: I'm David Hinkins, the Senator for Utah Senate District 27. I've called Emery County home all my life. I am running for re-election so I can continue to represent rural Utah's values. I am an experienced legislator, but first and foremost, I am a member of our community - a horse breeder, rancher, and business owner who depends on the mining industry. I feel strongly about the same issues you do. Utah needs to grow the economy, fix education, lower taxes, seek energy independence, increase transparency of government, and safeguard individual liberty. Jobs. True jobs that grow the economy are created by the private sector - not government. Education. Education is important not only to individuals reaching personal goals and supporting their own families, but education is also key to a strong economy. Smaller Government. Individual liberty increases as the level of governance is moved closer to home. The federal government spends too much, borrows too much and does too much. Lower Taxes. The tax burden per person will be much less if we grow the economy to have more, better-paying jobs. I will work to scale back government, grow our economy and create more local jobs. Access to Public Lands. Like most Utahns, I appreciate the beauty of our land, and as a rancher and businessman in the mining industry, I also appreciate the value our land and resources can bring our economy. Transparency in Government. Our government is just that - ours. Citizens are entitled to know the dealings of our government and the related actions of our elected officials. I commit to remaining open to the people I represent and to be an advocate for transparency in government. What I aim to do in the State Senate is simple; I want to stop government from making life harder for all of us. We should all be able to enjoy our jobs, families and passions without the burden of big government.

Each of the eleven sections from which this section was derived contained similar provisions relating to embezzlement, false entries, and fraudulent issuance or assignment of obligations with respect to one or more named agencies or corporations.
These were divided and the false entry and fraudulent issuance or assignment of obligation provisions of all, form the basis of this section. The remaining provisions of each section, relating to embezzlement and misapplication, form the basis for section 657 of this title. That portion of said section 616 (c) of title 15, relating to disclosure of information, forms the basis for section 1904 of this title.
Each revised section condenses and simplifies the constituent provisions without change of substance except as herein indicated.
The punishment provisions in each section were the same except that in section 1026 (b) of title 7, U.S.C., 1940 ed., and sections 984, 1121, and 1311 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., the maximum fine was $5,000. This consolidated section adopts the $10,000 maximum fine provided by the seven other sections.
References to persons aiding or abetting contained in sections 984, 1121, and 1311 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were omitted as unnecessary, as such persons are made principals by section 2 of this title.
The term "receiver," used in sections 1121 and 1311 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with reference to Federal intermediate credit banks and agricultural credit corporations, was omitted as this term is undoubtedly embraced in the phrase "or connected in any capacity with."
The term "or of any department or agency of the United States" was inserted in order to clarify the sweeping provisions against fraudulent acts and to eliminate any possible ambiguity as to scope of section. (See definitions of "department" and "agency" in section 6 of this title.)
Words "shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor", contained in section 1311 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were omitted as unnecessary, in view of definition of misdemeanor in section 1 of this title.
Words "and upon conviction", contained in section 1311 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were omitted as surplusage, because punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction.
Words "in any district court of the United States", contained in section 1311 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were omitted as unnecessary, because section 3231 of this title confers jurisdiction on the Federal district courts of all crimes and offenses defined in this title.
The conspiracy provisions of section 1138d (f) of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, were not added to this consolidated section for reasons stated in reviser's note under section 493 of this title. (See also reviser's note under section 371 of this title.)1949 Act

WATSON State police identified the man who died in Sundays motorcycle accident on Pine Grove Road as Kyle L. Riesel, 24, of Lyons Falls.
State police continue to investigate the accident that occurred at 11:15 a.m. Sunday. Mr. Riesel died when his 2008 Honda motorcycle crossed into the opposite lane and hit an oncoming pickup truck being driven by Floyd E. Farney, 70, Lowville.
Mr. Riesel was ejected and landed on the west side of the roadway, troopers said. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Lewis County Coroner Leanne K. Moser, who is also the county district attorney. Police said Mr. Farney saw the motorcycle while approaching the crest of a hill and took evasive action but was unable to avoid the collision. He and his passengers were not injured.
No criminal charges are anticipated, police said.
Results from an autopsy conducted Monday were not available.
Mr. Riesel is the fifth person to die in a motorcycle accident in the three-county area since July 1. According to state Department of Motor Vehicles data, the same number of people died in motorcycle accidents in 2011, the most recent statistic available.

MLBTR: Projected salary arbitration figures for eligible Mets' players
In a post to MLB Trade Rumors, Tim Dierkes projects the salaries players will earn through arbitration this winter.
Dierkes predicts Daniel Murphy will earn $3 million, Ike Davis will earn $2.8 million, Bobby Parnell $1.5 million, Josh Thole ("Super Two" eligible) $1.2 million, and Manny Acosta $1.1 million – the combined total of those salaries is $9.6 million.
According to Cot's Contracts, Murphy earned $512,000, Davis earned $506,690, Parnell $504,000, Thole $498,920, and Acosta $875,000 – the combined total of their salaries was around $2.4 million in 2012.
Michael Baron, ContributorThis group of players will earn a total raise of $7.2 million, assuming these projections are correct. That is very significant considering Sandy Alderson has basically said he expects the payroll to be more or less the same in 2013 as it was in 2012.
As far as Thole is concerned, I expect he will be back next season, even if the Mets have to pay him $1.2 million. I think he is assured to be back if the Mets hold onto R.A. Dickey this winter. Dickey has touted Thole's ability to catch the knuckleball, and gave Thole much of the credit for his phenomenal year after the season ended. Thole does add value from that standpoint – he knows Dickey, has more experience catching Dickey than anyone else in the league and, despite the high passed ball total (most catchers who are responsible for catching knuckleballers lead the league in passed balls), Thole has learned to handle the knuckleball over the last three years or so. I still expect the Mets to sign an everyday catcher, which would in turn make Thole a backup and R.A.'s personal receiver.
In regards to Parnell, the prudent thing to do might be to trade him now that he has value. While he has always had closer stuff and is showing signs he can be an effective late-inning reliever, I worry about who he really is going forward. Is he the Parnell who can vary the speed of his pitches and finesse hitters while overpowering them at the same time? Or, is he the guy who just throws as hard as he can? I'd hate to see him thrive on another team, but at the same time the Mets are at a point where they have other needs, and trading Parnell could help to fill those needs. It's possible they might be able to find equal value with a smaller salary among some of the younger arms which have been brought up over the last couple of months.
I would expect the Mets to simply non-tender Acosta, but they could look to bring him back on a Minor League deal and have him compete for a spot in the bullpen during camp. He was very good in the second half of this past season – he pitched to a 1.78 ERA after the All-Star Break – but was downright horrific in the first half, to the point he was designated for assignment at the end of May. His walks were up and, at times, he looked incredibly clueless and was throwing rather than pitching. So at $1.1 million, he could be very overvalued.
If Dierkes is correct and assuming both the Mets non-tender Acosta and hold onto Parnell, the Mets are on the hook for a minimum of $89 million owed to 10 players in 2013 – they owe $80.5 million to Johan Santana, David Wright, R.A. Dickey, Jason Bay, Frank Francisco and Jon Niese. That number can change depending on what happens with Wright's and Dickey's contract situations, but if it does, I expect it will go up. This is all before adding necessary outfielders, a catcher, bench and bullpen support. At the end of the day, that gives them around $10 million to spend on a lot of parts – even if Sandy Alderson can get creative and move some parts to get others, it's incredibly difficult to fill all of those holes under such conditions.
Teams have until five days after the World Series to make qualifying offers to pending free agents ($13.3 million) and players have seven days to accept such an offer. The non-tender deadline is November 30, and any pending free agents have until 12 days after the World Series concludes (November 9) to accept arbitration offers from his former club.

Regents release report on phase one work
The state Board of Regents Wednesday, June 11, released its report on the first phase of the Transparent, Inclusive Efficiency Review (TIER). The report describes areas reviewed and themes that emerged during phase one and describes some of the work that will occur during phase two. News article.
On the new Frequently Asked Questions page, Deloitte Consultants answer queries about the efficiency review.
About the review
The Iowa Board of Regents selected the Deloitte Consulting to conduct an efficiency review of the three state universities (Iowa State, Iowa and Northern Iowa). The consultants will look at administrative and academic operations with the aim of maximizing resources, improving efficiencies and containing costs. The review begins this spring with public forums on each campus and could be completed by early next winter. Implementation of review recommendations will take longer.
Regents: We need to strengthen Iowa's legacy in higher education
"It is important to note that the cost savings resulting from the efficiency study will be invested back into the universities," Regents Bruce Rastetter and Larry McKibben wrote in a March 23 op-ed in the Des Moines Register.
Letter from President Leath
In a March 21 letter to faculty, staff and students, President Steven Leath noted that savings resulting from the efficiency review will be reinvested into programs that strengthen teaching and research and keep public education affordable to students and their families.

The more ram the better. 64 is just ok. 128 is better. 512 plus is sweet. Most, if not all, distros will set up a swap partition for you, so you will always have swap with you. Remember, it is more than just the ram, though. A slow hard drive, crappy video, sluggish cpu, etc contribute to slow loading of programs. Some programs are so bloated that they are inherently slow to load (StarOffice, for instance).I saw that the os is working with swap , and programs are fairly slow in loading (such as netscape etc)

Venezuela, a third larger than Texas, occupies most of the northern coast of South America on the Caribbean Sea. It is bordered by Colombia to the west, Guyana to the east, and Brazil to the south. Mountain systems break Venezuela into four distinct areas: (1) the Maracaibo lowlands; (2) the mountainous region in the north and northwest; (3) the Orinoco basin, with the llanos (vast grass-covered plains) on its northern border and great forest areas in the south and southeast; and (4) the Guiana Highlands, south of the Orinoco, accounting for nearly half the national territory.
Federal republic.
When Columbus explored Venezuela on his third voyage in 1498, the area was inhabited by Arawak, Carib, and Chibcha Indians. A subsequent Spanish explorer gave the country its name, meaning "Little Venice." Caracas was founded in 1567. Simón Bolívar, who led the liberation from Spain of much of the continent, was born in Caracas in 1783. With Bolívar taking part, Venezuela was one of the first South American colonies to revolt in 1810, winning independence in 1821. Federated at first with Colombia and Ecuador as the Republic of Greater Colombia, Venezuela became a republic in 1830. A period of unstable dictatorships followed. Antonio Guzman Blanco governed from 1870 to 1888, developing an infrastructure, expanding agriculture, and welcoming foreign investment.
Gen. Juan Vicente Gómez was dictator from 1908 to 1935, when Venezuela became a major oil exporter. A military junta ruled after his death. Leftist Dr. Rómulo Betancourt and the Democratic Action Party won a majority of seats in a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution in 1946. A well-known writer, Rómulo Gallegos, candidate of Betancourt's party, became Venezuela's first democratically elected president in 1947. Within eight months, Gallegos was overthrown by a military-backed coup led by Marcos Peréz Jiménez, who was ousted himself in 1958. Since 1959, Venezuela has been one of the most stable democracies in Latin America. Betancourt served from 1959–1964, while Rafael Caldera Rodríguez, president from 1969 to 1974, legalized the Communist Party and established diplomatic relations with Moscow.
Venezuela benefited from the oil boom of the early 1970s. In 1974, President Carlos Andrés Pérez took office, and in 1976 Venezuela nationalized foreign-owned oil and steel companies, offering compensation. Luis Herrera Campíns became president in 1978. Declining world oil prices sent Venezuela's economy into a tailspin, increasing the country's foreign debt. Pérez was reelected to a nonconsecutive term in 1988 and launched an unpopular austerity program. Military officers staged two unsuccessful coup attempts in 1992, while the following year Congress impeached Pérez on corruption charges. President Rafael Caldera Rodríguez was elected in Dec. 1993 to face the 1994 collapse of half of the country's banking sector, falling oil prices, foreign debt repayment, and inflation. In 1997, the government announced an expansion of gold and diamond mining to reduce reliance on oil.

BLACK RIVER After attending the Feb. 14 meeting of the Evans Mills Board of Trustees, Black River Mayor Leland J. Carpenter reported back to his own board that the joint police force shared by the villages would continue.
Mayor Carpenter said the villages have split the costs of police protection since 2008 and now employ three part-time officers.
We met with the board and I am pleased with the outcome they are still on board with a joint police force, the mayor said, noting Black River Trustee Randolph E. Lake had accompanied him.
The board received letters from Staci A. Kline, principal of Black River Elementary School, and Pamela L. Knight, principal of Evans Mills Primary School, in appreciation of services provided by Officer-in-Charge Steven C. Wood. Officer Wood explained to the board that the letters reflected on the increased interaction he has had with the schools since the shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
Mayor Carpenter said that upon learning that the West Carthage Police Department had increased its patrols to include the Carthage Central School District buildings along Cole Road, he had broached the subject with Officer Wood and was pleased to learn the officer already had been in contact with the schools in his jurisdiction.
The officer said he has assisted with a lockdown drill in the Indian River Central School District and has shown a presence at both locations. He said these actions are helpful in order to learn the layout of the buildings and to see what security measures are in place.

NEWPORT CITY – Fire Chief Jamie LeClair will ask the city council Monday evening to hold a special bond vote to buy a new heavy rescue truck. The city purchased the existing truck, a used 1987 Pierce, 10 years ago. It carries equipment and firefighters to scenes. However, the truck is aging, is not reliable, and needs extensive repairs. The truck has 226,000 miles and 107,000 hours of driving on it. If it were a traditional over-the-road vehicle, it would have over a million miles, LeClair said.
For more of this story, read Thursday's edition of The Newport Daily Express for Sept. 5, 2013.

Our Beer Print in Action with Molson Coors Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, Bart AlexanderShare Tweet
Bart Alexander, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, Molson Coors Brewing Company volunteering with Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project at Brick Works in Toronto, ON.
What would you call a day when you got up early, planted some trees with friends and co-workers and then celebrated with an ice cold Molson Canadian beer? For me it was awesome, a day bringing together the best of Canada for this visitor from Denver, Colorado. In fact, the day was sponsored by the Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project in partnership with Evergreen. The Red Leaf Project launched in 2011, planting over 100,000 trees to help make our awesome land (in Canada), even better. Almost 1000 Canadians volunteered at 10 park projects last year, and this summer, the brand will increase its impact by tenfold – 100 projects!
As Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer for Molson Coors, I know that we make both positive and negative impacts on people and the earth. We call that "Our Beer Print" – just like a beer leaves a mark on the table or coaster, we leave our mark. Much is positive – such as the good times we spend together over beers, the jobs we create, and the contributions we make to our communities. Some is negative – like alcohol abuse or discharges and accidents in our breweries.
We are dedicated as a company and as a collection of people to do all we can to grow our positive beer print and shrink our negative beer print. This means we commit to be an ethical and well governed company, that sells quality products marketed responsibly, committed to environmental sustainability, investing in our people and the communities where we live and work, and taking our best practices to our suppliers and retailers. It also means that we can help connect people to make a difference – just like we're doing with the Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project.
We know that our people appreciate our progress, ranking us as one of the top places to work in Canada. And we believe that beer drinkers care as well, as demonstrated by the participation in Red Leaf Project. We look forward to seeing that participation grow in 2012.
We're devoted to improving Our Beer Print in Canada and every market in the world where we brew and sell our products. So, next time you enjoy one of our brews, be it Canadian or an Coors Light or Rickards, taste our passion to refresh you and the world.
Cheers to you and your responsible choices!
