A Visit With Daniel Williams
Last Friday, December 18 to be exact, I left the office early to hook up with one of our US cymbal artists, Daniel Williams of the band The Devil Wears Prada. The band was playing a show that night at one of the few decent venues in Nashville for heavy music, Rocketown. Daniel and TDWP have been on a steady upward trajectory for quite some time now, and it's been a very cool thing to witness. So I was looking forward to some hang time with Daniel and to also see their show that night, as it was sold out.
Pre-show, I was fed some obligatory beers by Daniel and his ever-hospitable band-mates while hanging on their tour bus outside the venue. Daniel and the guys talked about how fortunate they feel to be doing such good business touring during what is an extremely trying time for bands on the road. People only have a limited amount of money to spend on concerts and bands' merchandise, so TDWP feel grateful that they are selling out venues and that people are choosing to spend their money on them.
Along with biz talk, we also rapped about life stuff in general. My job is called artist RELATIONS, and it is always nice when it is indeed a RELATION, when the artist is genuinely interested in an exchange of ideas and conversation. In Daniel's case, it's definitely a relation. He's a super-great guy who cares about everyone around him and it certainly shows.
So showtime came along and I was glad to get some good video footage of Daniel at work.
Here are some links to that footage -
Daniel's cymbal setup is very musical. If you were to sit behind his kit, you would see the following left to right -
- Byzance 14" Medium Hihats in Traditional Finish
- Mb20 20" Medium Heavy Crash
- Classics 22" Medium Ride (his artist page says Mb20 22" Heavy Bell Ride, but he just changed it and we need to build that particular Classics ride into our setup program...)
- Classics 8" Medium Bell
- Byzance 22" Medium Crash
- Mb20 18" Rock China
The Classics 22" Medium Ride that he just switched to is an interesting thing. So many artists these days are into a steady washing white noise sound. I've suggested this B8 alloy cymbal to a few artists and it's gone over very well. The alloy is durable and the sound is bright enough to cut through the dense wall of guitar and bass amplification. This cymbal is like a motor. Get it going with just enough wrist action and the cymbal will do the rest of the job for you. I suggested this cymbal to Daniel a month or so ago and he is super stoked to have it in his setup. If you have a hankering for a white noise wall of wash cymbal sound, check this one out.
Enjoy the footage of Daniel and Happy Holidays to all of you out there.

Daniel is my idol! The Devil Wears Prada are my favourite band, and the sheer energy he puts into every performance is just infectious, he\'s influenced my style a lot. I only recently discovered Meinl, and I\'m starting a long term overhaul of all my cymbals, starting with a Byzance Brilliant china, and an Mb10 crash. Wasn\'t too sure about big, band driving rides to crash on, but that Classics 22\" sounds great, I\'ll definitely be checking it out!

@ Conor - Glad to hear that you are so into Daniel and that you are over-hauling your cymbals. We don\'t normally push the rides for crashing on, but in this instance, the Classics 22\" Medium Ride is so durable and provides such a great wall of sound that\'s not too hard to build up to, that I can\'t help but recommend it! Good luck with your overhaul, and happy holidays! - Chris

NY Gov. Cuomo Proposes Buying Homes Devastated By Sandy To Preserve Flood Prone Areas
Sanitation workers throw out debris from a flood damaged home in...

In a program proposed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York state could spend up to $400 million to buy out home owners whose properties were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. The $50.5 billion disaster relief package, which was passed by Congress last month, would be used to fund the program. If the program is adopted, homeowners would be relocated and their land would be left as a natural barrier to help absorb future floods waters. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

CARTHAGE Claire Sauters successful swimming season hasnt been without trials and errors.
The Carthage senior is battling to drop time in the 100-yard butterfly before her high school career concludes.
Sauter embraced the butterfly event her freshman season and immediately made an impact for the Comets.
I like the challenge of the butterfly because you have to have your kick and your arms in a good rhythm in order to get the movement through the water thats going to make you excel in the event, Sauter said. When it clicks for you, you feel like youre flying though the water.
Sauter also swims the 200 freestyle and contributes to all three of the Comets relays. She leads the Frontier Leagues North Division this season with the fastest times in both the 100 butterfly and 200 freestyle.
Sauter has not set a personal record in the 100 butterfly since her sophomore season when she clocked a time of 1 minute, 4.52 seconds during the Section 3 finals. The pressure to improve has left her disappointed, despite her success. She has generated a 6-1 record in the 100 butterfly, losing only to Rachel Rodriquez of Indian River.
Im a little frustrated with where I am right now, Sauter admitted. We have a couple meets left, so Im feeling the pressure to get back down to a certain time where I seem to plateau at the end of every season.
Sauter has been making small changes in her butterfly stroke, which have resulted in inconsistent results this season.
Im trying to modify my technique to produce a better stroke and more distance per stroke, Sauter said. Part of my frustration this year is trying to develop a technique that is going to help me break the barrier.
Sauters best time this season is 1:07.81, so she still needs to drop more than three seconds.
Trying different things is not going to produce success overnight, Carthage coach Nancy Mushtare said. The big thing is that we try to find what works for her, and by doing different things something is going to click. We keep looking at something to help: her timing, her kick, her head position, any minute little thing.
Sauter suffered a major setback after she tore the ACL in her right knee during the second game of lacrosse season her freshman year. She had surgery, followed by physical therapy throughout that summer. She was back in the pool in time for swimming while her recovery continued.
Coming back into the season I knew I was going to be slower, not up-to-par and needing a lot of conditioning because I hadnt been playing sports all summer like usual, Sauter said.
That took a toll on her, Mushtare said. She worked hard through it but any injury is going to set you back, unfortunately.
Sauter began swimming at 2 years old and received inspiration from her sister, Emily, a 2010 Carthage graduate who excelled as a freestyle sprinter.
My sister has definitely influenced my swimming career, Sauter said. Shes been a role model in sports, academics and in character overall.
Emily Sauter, a senior at Nazareth College, still holds six Carthage records, some of them as part of relays.
She was such a great swimmer in high school, and she has numerous records up on the board that I get to look at every day, Claire Sauter said.
Carthage (4-3 overall and league) is also led by seniors Gabbee Park, Kendra Bates and Carly Sullivan. Park provides points in the 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke, while Bates is solid in the 100 breaststroke. Sullivan is one of the leagues top divers.
Carthage has a meet scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today at South Jefferson in Adams.

It's Friday again. Who's with me? Anyone? I thought this week we'd take about what you can use your cell phone to do. Everyone knows the
common things like answer calls, text message, but have you ever thought of what else it's capable of doing.
10: Chipping ice from the freezer - Have you ever needed to defrost your fridge and not had a blunt object to help. Well reach for your cell phone.
9- Proping up a uneven table: Have you ever been at dinner and had your food or water spill because of a uneven table leg.
8- A game of catch: who doesn't like playing catch? Who always has a ball handy? Well no need anymore...
7- A shovel: Ever needed to dig a quick hole? Didn't have a shovel handy? Don't want to get your hands dirty?
6- GPS: Most people don't realize but you a lot of cell phones these days are actually coming with GPS units built right in
5- Watch TV/Movies: More and more people are using their phones to watch movies or tv shows.
4- Facebook/MySpace: Who doesn't want to stay intouch with your friends when you need to
3- Twitter: Hey why not? Well not if you are in Canada anymore
2- Email: Tried and true Blackberry phones or Windows based
1- Boarding your plane: Now you can actually have your boarding pass right on your screen scanned.
Hopefull those suggestions give you an idea what else the cell phone can be good for. We do remind you that using any of our suggestions are at your own risk. Truthfully cell phones have many practical uses. If you are looking for a new phone don't hesitate to go to www.puremobile.com to see what's available.

Asking an aging relative to move into your home is often a selfless decision rooted in the affection you feel for that person. But there are certain things to consider about your home as well as your finances before inviting an aging relative to move in.
Space in the Home
When your household is taking on a new member, you will obviously need to find some space for that person. But if you're currently at full capacity, then you will need to determine if the space you have is truly capable of handling an additional member of the household. Seniors often value their privacy, so sharing a room is not an ideal option nor one that your relative is likely to embrace. If you determine you'll need to remodel or add a new suite to your home, it's important to know that such projects can be very expensive, with a room addition very likely costing close to or more than six figures.
But men and women with lots of available space in their home may find their home is not ideal for seniors, either. For example, seniors whose physical condition is less than ideal might not be able to get up or down stairs easily and might find walking from room to room in a large house to be too physically taxing. Before inviting an aging relative into your home, be sure the space available in your home is suitable that person and their particular condition.
Medical Facilities
Many seniors need to visit medical facilities more frequently than younger men and women. This makes the proximity of your home to doctors' offices a significant factor to consider before inviting an aging relative to move into your home. If your home is far off the beaten path or in an area where access to medical care is sparse, then your loved one's health may be compromised if he or she moves into your home. Discuss your loved one's medical condition and history with them before extending an invitation. If he or she has considerable medical needs and your access to reliable medical facilities is limited, then you might need to move before you can comfortably house an aging relative or explore other housing options for this person.
Personal Finances
The cost of caring for an aging relative is considerable. According to the MetLife Mature Market Institute, the average cost of in-home care for a parent who requires a home health aide was slightly less than $22,000 per year in 2011. That's a considerable amount of money, especially for men and women whose own retirement is imminent. Because those costs are so substantial, many men and women care for their aging relatives on their own, which can still prove quite costly over the long haul. Taking on that role might impact income you sorely need, especially if you're forced to scale back your workload so you can better care for an aging relative.
Inviting an aging relative to move into your home is a decision that requires careful consideration of a host of factors

We also require the use of 128-bit encryption browsers or a browser that supports Server Gated Cryptography (SGC). SGC allows a browser using 40-bit encryption to function as if it has 128-bit encryption for the duration of the session.
Browser Requirement
Browsers (such as Netscape or Internet Explorer) using 128-bit encryption (or supporting Server Gated Cryptography) provide the highest level of commercially available security for your financial transactions. Encryption transforms the banking transactions you send over the Internet into code that can then be translated by us.
Digital Certificate
A Digital Certificate is a randomly generated set of characters that our computer sends to your browser. The browser on your computer stores this information and uses it to verify that the Internet address is actually HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and not someone masquerading as the Bank. It can be used in the same way a passport or driver's license is used as a means to establish identity.
Your Role in Security
You have a significant role to play in security!
There are two pieces of important information that you must keep confidential - your Username and Password. These are the keys to your access into the Service.
General Online Security Tips
- Install and regularly update virus detection software.
- Do not allow unauthorized access to your PC.
- Do not install pirated software or software from an unknown source.
- Do not open email attachments from unknown sources.
- Conduct financial transactions first in any online session. After completing financial transactions online, including credit card purchaes, logoff before continuing other online activity. This may help protect your confidential data (account numbers, passwords, etc.)
- Notify your financial institution immediately of any erroneous changes in your account information.
Your Username
To make the access to your HSBC Bank USA, N.A. accounts easy and secure, we want you to choose your own Username. Your ID can be 3 to 50 characters in length and should be something you can easily remember but not easily guessed by someone else. If you wish to use your name or something equally familiar, our suggestion is to mix numbers with the letters to provide additional complexity.
Your Password
Your password is as important as your Username. Follow these tips when creating your own unique password:
- Select a password that cannot be easily guessed by someone else.
- Do not associate your password with anything personal such as names, birth dates, phone numbers, your Username or other familiar words.
- Create a password 6 to 50 characters long (longer passwords are more secure) containing a combination of both letters and numbers.
- Do not make your USER ID the same as your password.
- Memorize your password and never write it down or reveal it to anyone.
Remember: No one at HSBC will ever ask you for your password!
- Change your password on a regular basis - at least every 30 days.
For your added security, HSBC has updated a session time-out feature. If your EasyView session is idle for 14 minutes, a warning notice will appear giving you the opportunity to either continue or to logoff the session. The system allows you 1 minute to respond before your session is automatically ended. This is done to protect your accounts from unauthorized access if your PC is left unattended and you are unable to exit normally. You will then need to log back on to EasyView.
Account Cancellation
- Please refer to the Terms and Conditions, FAQs or Help for instructions on how to cancel your account.
- We suggest that after cancellation, you change the password/PIN for all of your individual accounts that have been included in the service.
Potential Risks
You will choose an ID and password when registering for EasyView. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your ID and password. Adding new accounts to the Service will require that you also provide authentication for your other online accounts that you wish to add to EasyView. For your convenience, an auto-login feature is available that allows "click through" access directly to your online services. You can disable the auto-login feature, by account, at any time. However, the importance of protecting your EasyView log on information is increased significantly when using the auto-login feature, as direct access to your online servies is enabled.

In 1976, KONG established "the standard" for dog toy performance and durability. Today, KONG Toy are enthusiastically used and recommended by veterinarians, trainers, dog professionals and satisfied customers worldwide. Millions and millions of dogs have confirmed that KONG is "the world's best dog toy!"
The story of KONG begins with a German Shepherd named Fritz, his owner, and a van. Fritz, a former police dog, enjoyed chewing rocks. This activity wore Fritz's teeth down and frustrated his owner, Joe Markham. One afternoon while working on his van, Joe noticed Fritz dining on rocks once again. Out of desperation, he began disassembling the van he was working on and threw parts near Fritz to see if he could be coaxed away from his destructive dinner. Radiator hoses didn't work, and neither did anything else until he pulled off a suspension part and gave it right to Fritz. Right away, Fritz was ecstatic. The KONG was born!
While Fritz invented KONG, it was Markham who realized the potential of his odd-looking toy. Markham refined the toy's design, developed a super-strong rubber formula, and began production in 1976. Today, Markham continues to sell this toy, as well as other great products, all over the world.

Three generations of Golden Knights from two different locations were on hand as York Central School secured a repeat Class D title at the Section 5 Boys Swimming Championships on Feb. 16.
York secured the victory with a comfortable 334-262 margin over Naples in the championship meet which was staged at Bath Central School.
Senior Devin Lajoie played a key role for the York Golden Knights who won the Harley Allendale Invitational and the Livingston County Athletic Association Division II title earlier in the season.
We had eight swimmers take 15 top eight finishes in 11 swimming events to secure our second straight sectional championship, said York Coach Tim Mee to the Livingston County News.
Sectional senior swimmers Troy (Lubanski), Devin (Lajoie), Jacob (Streb) and Eli (Carey) were a core part of the championship team.
Devin Lajoie is the son of Bernie and Tracy Robinson Lajoie who were both standout athletes at Lisbon Central School. They remained true to their roots when they relocated to the Geneseo area to begin their professional careers.
When seeking a home they picked York when they drove by the school and saw a very familiar sign Home of the Golden Knights.
At the sectional meet the York team was spurred on by a spirited backing which included Devins family and three other former Lisbon Golden Knights in Traci Lajoies parents Roger and Mary Lou Robinson and her sister Renee Robinson of Lisbon.
Devin Lajoie, who has been accepted at Clarkson University (the North Countrys collegiate Golden Knights) in Potsdam and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., swam on the winning 400 freestyle and 200 freestyle relay teams. He posted an impressive 22.56 in his 50 split of the 200 event.
He also came through with fourth places with personal best swims in the 50 (23.41) and 100 (52.17) freestyles.

Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce presents leadership award to Exelon Treasurer Chaka Patterson
Chicago – Exelon Vice President and Treasurer Chaka Patterson was honored last Thursday with the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce's Dr. Arthur Fletcher Outstanding Leadership Award for Patterson's personal and professional commitment to fostering minority and community bank relationships across the communities Exelon serves.
"Chaka Patterson is creating new opportunities for minority banks to participate in financial transactions in ways that previously didn't exist," said Larry Ivory, president and CEO of the Illinois Black Chamber of Commerce. "He plays a unique role within Exelon to promote diversity and create an environment for economic empowerment in the community."
Last year, Exelon and its subsidiaries ComEd and PECO entered into new credit agreements with 26 minority and community banks in Chicago, Philadelphia and other regions that Exelon serves. Seaway Bank and Trust Company, Riverside Community Bank and the United Bank of Philadelphia arranged the credit agreements, with JPMorgan Chase serving as the administrative agent.
The agreements, totaling $67 million, provide the companies with an additional source of credit, while offering minority and community banks the opportunity to grow their relationships with Fortune 500 companies. Patterson played a key role in expanding Exelon's reliance on minority and community banks. The company is currently in the process of finalizing the program for 2010.
Since Patterson became Exelon's treasurer in February 2009, Exelon has increased its spending with minority- and women-owned investment banks by five-fold. In 2010 to date, Exelon's fees with these banks are nearly $2.5 million and represent 9 percent of its total spending with relationship banks. Across the organization, Exelon's total spending with minority- and women-owned enterprises was more than $450 million in 2009.
"We are very proud of Chaka's work in fostering these relationships, which are unique in the utility industry and have broken new ground in terms of lender diversity," said Ruth Ann Gillis, executive vice president and chief administrative and diversity officer, Exelon Corporation, and president, Exelon Business Services Company. "These credit agreements are an important component of Exelon's ongoing efforts to invest in the communities we serve and demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion in all our business relationships."
The award is named for the late Dr. Arthur Fletcher, who laid claim to the title of "father of affirmative action," served as an advisor to four U.S. presidents and served as executive director of the United Negro College Fund.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

No matter if you're a beginner sewer or an advanced seamstress, shopping for a new machine and deciding which one is right for you can be an overwhelming task. To help, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated sewing machines for performance, ease of use, and even checked up on the companies' customer service. We've divided our sewing machine reviews into three categories:m beginner sewers, intermediate sewers, and advanced sewers.
What we found: you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get a good machine. Most sewing machines performed well in our test. The big differences are with ease of use and getting the right tension for a specific fabric. If you're familiar with one brand of sewing machine, you'll most likely be familiar with a different model of the same brand. — most companies stick to similar threading, bobbing winding, and interfaces across all their models.
What GHRI Looked For in Sewing Machines
- Ability to sew a basic stitch on satin, woven cotton, microsuede, upholstery-grade fabric, cotton duck (heavy and light), wool/lycra blend, heavyweight wool, denim, cotton jersey, polyester fleece, cotton corduroy, silk charmeuse, and silk chiffon
- Ability to sew through multiple layers of woven cotton, cotton jersey, and denim
- Ability to sew a quilt swatch
- Ability to sew a bound seam
- Time to set up a buttonhole
- Ease of creating a buttonhole
- Accuracy and quality of buttonholes
- Ease of threading machine
- Time to thread
- Ease of winding bobbin
- Ease of using automatic needle threader (if applicable)
- Ease of changing the needle
- Ease of changing the presser foot
- Comfort of the foot pedal, buttons, and hand wheel
- Ease of changing tension, speed, and stitches
- Sound level
- Thoroughness of instruction manual
- Helpfulness of customer service
How GHRI Tested Sewing Machines:
- We performed a basic stitch (two different lengths) on multiple fabrics, and we evaluated the quality of the stitch.
- A basic stitch was also performed on multiple layers of fabric and a quilt swatch, and we evaluated the quality of the stitch.
- Buttonholes were created on each sewing machine, and they were judged on how accurate they were and the quality.
- For ease of use, we had testers rate how easy it was to thread the machine, fill and load the bobbin, and sew a straight line. We also looked at ease of using the automatic needle threader, creating a buttonhole, changing the needle, changing the presser foot, and changing the tension, speed, and stitch type.
- Testers also evaluated the comfort of the pedal, buttons, and the hand wheel.
- We measured the sound of each machine while sewing.
- We weighed each machine.
- We called each manufacturer's toll-free customer service number with a troubleshooting question. We timed how long we waited before speaking with a representative and evaluated the helpfulness of the response.
What to Consider Before Buying a Sewing Machine:
- Are you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced sewer? If you're a beginner or if you're just going to be doing basic sewing, you may not need a high-priced machine that has extra features and functions. Intermediate and advanced sewers may decide to splurge on more complex features.
- Consider what features you'll be using. Is top speed a priority, or maybe automatic needle threading? Many sewing machines come with a lot of features and functions, so figure out which ones are relevant to you.
- Look to see what accessories come standard with the machine. It may make a huge price difference if end up needing to buy a lot of accessories separately.
Tips for Using a Sewing Machine:
- Test your stitch settings on a piece of scrap fabric to make sure they're correct and the machine is on the right setting.
- If stitches aren't being produced correctly, check to make sure the machine is properly threaded. Try re-threading; you sometimes can't tell its threaded incorrectly just by looking.
- Check that you have the right tension set. Otherwise, stitches may not be produced correctly.
- Make sure you have the right needle for hard-to-sew fabrics, such as chiffon, denim, and leather.

I always carried a tree strap to use with the winch if needed. This 65' strap can be a tree strap too, but most important, it extends your winch to well over 100' of usable cable length if needed. We now have one in each machine and though have not needed it yet, the time will come sooner or later. An excellent addition to our tool box.Read All Reviews

I recently purchased this item for my Superwinch LT2500. I had one heck of a time pulling the cable loop through the slot in the stop, despite using WD40 as a lubricant, as suggested. I had to remove my cable eyelet in order to compress the cable loop before it would pull through the stop, then reinstall the eyelet. Once on, the stop slides on the cable down to the hook. While it does work, I think this was manufactured for thicker cables such as those found on vehicle winches. I would recommend purchasing the Tusk cable stop bumper for ATV winches.Read All Reviews

Pavano talking with 6 teams including the Mets
Free-agent RHP Carl Pavano is talking with six teams, including the Mets, Anthony McCarron reports in the Daily News.
"The Mets obviously have a need," Pavano's agent told the Daily News. "Carl has an interest in that situation if they have an interest in him. I don't know where he is on their priority list. … He's confident he's going to be in a rotation and throwing a lot of innings."
Jan. 7, 12:46 pm: The Mets have had very preliminary discussions with the agents for RHP Carl Pavano, but there is mutual interest, reports Andy McCullough of the Star Ledger.
Michael Baron, Contributor
Pavano has had one of the strangest pitching careers in recent memory. He has historically pitched to a lot of contact but is a control artist who limits bases on balls which in turn limits the damage allowed. When he's right, Pavano can be one of the more solid and dependable right-handers in the game. But I'm not sure how he might fare back in New York, considering how badly his first go-around was in this city with the Yankees.
Statistics and information on Carl Pavano...
Stats: Pavano, who turns 37 in January, went 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in only 11 starts in 2012, allowing 80 hits with eight walks and nine home runs in 63 innings. He missed most of the season with a bone spur in his right humerus bone.
Contract: Pavano just completed a two-year, $16.5 million contract he signed with the Twins before the 2011 season.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos proposal to provide direct tax rebates to homeowners would pressure municipal leaders and school district officials to look at consolidation more seriously, according to the governors office.
But local officials argue that the program penalizes communities that already have made significant steps toward government efficiency. They want the governor to lower property taxes for everyone through state mandate relief instead.
Nobodys opposed to the concept of cutting local property taxes. But the devils in the details, and thats where the governors proposal falls flat, Jefferson County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III said.
Rather than providing savings for a targeted group of taxpayers through a convoluted process, he said, the state should provide mandate relief for local governments that would lead to significant tax savings for everyone.
Removing the Medicaid burden on county governments would save Jefferson County alone an estimated $19 million annually, leading to an immediate 30 percent drop in the countys tax rate, Mr. Hagemann said.
Under Gov. Cuomos property tax freeze proposal, homeowners in taxing districts that keep their levy increases within the states tax cap would get up to 2 percent back on their property taxes.
The rebate amount essentially would negate tax levy increases, thus freezing property taxes for residential property owners.
For example, homeowners in communities with a 1.5 percent levy increase would get 1.5 percent back on their taxes.
Gov. Cuomo recently said the rebate benefits would be extended to communities that keep their levy flat, but he has not shared the formula that would determine the rebate amount in those communities.
The states tax levy cap is the rate of inflation which would be less than 1.5 percent in the 2014-15 fiscal year for public schools or 2 percent a year, whichever is less.
In the second fiscal year, however, local entities not only have to stay within the tax cap, but also have to present a joint savings plan that would shave off 1 percent of their collective tax levy through consolidation or shared services.
If approved by lawmakers, the state would spend nearly $2 billion $400 million in the 2014-15 fiscal year, $976 million in 2015-16 and $475 million in 2016-17 on the governors tax relief program.
State Budget Division spokesman Morris Peters said elected officials of local taxing entities can choose not to take the steps necessary for the tax freeze the governor is pushing for, but those officials are going to have to explain to their voters why homeowners in neighboring towns are getting rebate checks from the state and theyre not.
Both the state Senate and Assembly have offered counterproposals to the governors plan.
The state Senate last week proposed its own tax relief program dubbed Freeze Plus NY that borrows elements from the governors program but would reward local governments and school districts that stay within the tax cap instead of just homeowners.
This gives local governments more flexibility and approaches tax relief in a simpler way, said Sarah Compo, spokeswoman for Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton.
The Senates program would provide $1.4 billion in additional property tax relief over the next two years, make the existing tax cap permanent and require local governments to submit efficiency plans, among other things.
The Assembly, however, favors the $1.1 billion circuit breaker plan, which takes into account the property owners income and provides tax relief for homeowners earning less than $200,000 a year.
A lot of the provisions of the proposal are under negotiation and evolving, said Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa. I have been a supporter of the circuit breaker plan of relieving people from their tax burden and I hope that becomes a component.
Potsdam Central School Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said Gov. Cuomos proposal is a short-term solution to a bigger, more complicated problem.
My concern with this tax relief program is that its a very short-term strategy. Providing rebates to a limited group of taxpayers, its a short-sighted look at a much more deep-rooted problem, he said.
Potsdam and Canton school districts are looking at a merger, and a public vote on that move could take place before the end of the year.
Clayton Town Supervisor Justin A. Taylor said that while he supports Gov. Cuomos intentions, its unfair for the governor to expect local entities to cut back on spending while the state pushes under- or unfunded mandates and other expenditures onto counties, towns, villages and school districts.
Gov. Cuomo promised state mandate relief, but we havent seen it on the town and village levels, said Mr. Taylor, who is also the president of Jefferson County Supervisors Association.
Mr. Taylor also said communities such as Clayton which have been working at eliminating government redundancies and inefficiencies for decades essentially would be penalized under Gov. Cuomos proposal for their past efforts to operate as efficiently as possible.
I know just how much coordination and shared services goes on here in the north country, Mrs. Russell said. The governors proposal didnt provide for any room to acknowledge that counties have been sharing services with each other, with towns and villages. And Gov. Cuomo did acknowledge that that was a dynamic of different parts of the state and some communities have done a better job than others.
State lawmakers anticipate passing another on-time budget by the April 1 deadline, she said.

SPATAX: Clinical and Genetic Analysis of Cerebellar Ataxias and Spastic Paraplegias (Spatax)
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Cerebellar ataxias (CA) and spastic paraplegias (SP) are genetically and clinically very heterogeneous. More than 40 loci are already known but the number of phenotypes is even greater suggesting further genetic heterogeneity. These progressive disorders are often severe and fatal, due to the absence of specific therapy. The SPATAX network combines the experience of European clinicians and scientists working on these groups of diseases. Over the past year, they have assembled the largest collection of families and achieved a number of tasks (initiation of a clinical and genetic database, distribution of DNA to participating laboratories, mapping of three new loci, and refinement of several loci). In addition to clinicians from Europe and Mediterranean countries, who play a major role in collecting families according to evaluation tools developed and validated by the SPATAX members, the group includes major European laboratories devoted to the elucidation of the molecular basis of these disorders. Each laboratory will centralize all families with a subtype of autosomal recessive (AR) CA (n=116) or SP (n=207) in order to efficiently map and identify the responsible gene(s). Genome-wide scans are already underway in 61 families. Given the expertise of the participants, the researchers expect to map and identify several genes during the course of this project. The spectrum of mutations and phenotype/genotype correlations will be analysed thanks to this unique series of patients with various phenotypes. The knowledge gained will be immediately applicable to patients in terms of improved positive diagnosis, follow-up and appropriate genetic counselling. In the long term, models for genetic entity will be developed in order to understand the pathophysiology and to identify new targets for treatment. The series of patients assembled and the precise knowledge of natural history will facilitate the implantation of therapeutic trials based on rational approaches.

With the start of the big game hunting season, Brian Ferebee, Supervisor of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, is reminding hunters and other forest users that current weather conditions are causing roads and trails to become extremely wet and muddy. Users will need to be extra cautious while traveling.
Driving on wet or muddy roads causes erosion, reduces water quality and makes roads hazardous for the next user. He is asking that hunters please check with the local ranger district offices to obtain the most current and accurate information about road and trail conditions.
The Forest Service would also like to remind hunters who use off-highway vehicles to use "Tread Lightly" principles: travel only where motorized vehicles are permitted, stay on designated routes, and avoid streams, lake shores, meadows, muddy roads, trails and steep hillsides.
"It is the responsibility of all hunters and other Forest users to obtain travel maps, which show roads and trails that are designated open to off highway vehicles," said Ferebee. "Under no circumstances are motorized vehicles ever allowed off-designated roads and trails not even to retrieve game."
In order to provide a healthy hunting environment, the national forests, in partnership with the state of Utah, will beef-up field patrols during the hunting season to both enforce regulations and educate the public about OHV rules and regulations.
Ferebee also reminds visitors that getting into the mountains is only half the battle; people also need to get safely home. Hunters and forest users who are heading to the woods should always keep safety in mind by being adequately prepared for weather conditions to change, to carry the proper gear, to leave a trip itinerary with family or friends and to have a check-in/check-out plan.

Going into the region opener with Delta, the Dinos knew it would be one of their toughest games yet. But they were hoping to keep it close. In the first half, they did just that, but in the end the game closed at 41-7, as Carbon took their first loss of the season.
Delta opened with a touchdown on their first two drives of the game. The first quarter ended 14-0. But the Dinos had the ball as the quarter ended and they were able to find the end zone with 8:45 left in the half. Their first score, came on a pass from Dakota Cisneros to Nick Haycock with Tanner Gagnon hitting the extra point.
The Dino defense was able to stop the Rabbits from scoring for the rest of the half and Carbon hit the locker room down only one score.
The second half was all Delta.
Due largely to turnovers, the Rabbits put two scores on the board in the third quarter to make it 28-7. They then put the game out of reach with two more touchdowns in the fourth. The Dinos blocked one of the point after kicks.
Turn overs on interceptions hurt Carbon in the second half of play. The Dinos will now head to North Sanpete for their second region contest of the season. A complete game writeup will be forth coming in Tuesday's edition of the Sun Advocate.

Ranging from vintage-authentic tweed to modern ABS shells, Fender cases can give you the level of style and protection your instrument deserves.
When you unpack your guitar or bass for a show, you can get ready to play with on-stage Fender accessories like picks, straps and cables. These all come in a variety of materials and styles to really personalize your performance with the look and feel you prefer. After the gig, get your axe back into showroom condition with some of Fender's cleaning and care supplies.

"The man in charge of surveying California's snowpack to measure the amount of water that will flow into storage reservoirs over the next few months had bad news Thursday. "I'm finding nothing. Seriously, there is no snow on the course at all," said Frank Gehrke, chief surveyor for the Department of Water Resources. The survey showed the water content of what little snowpack does remain at 17 percent of normal, an ominous situation for a state that depends on a steady stream of snowmelt to replenish reservoirs throughout the summer."CA Snowpack report
I wonder just how much impact the poor snowpack will have on backpackers in California. We already knew that the summer season was coming early, and it would be dry. Finding water sources along the trail may become the new hobby.Maybe I should try to fabricate a divining rod out of carbon fiber tubing. How about a solar powered water well pump?--B.G.--
If I were thru hiking I would be turning the jets on before the fire season starts closing sections of trail. I was incredibly lucky in 2011 and had no fire closures to deal with. I guess there was one benefit of a high snow year. I have read in a few journals that SoCal water sources are few and far between. Not sure if its normal few and far between or abnormal.
Looks like there will probably be a lot fewer people on the trails. That is the bright side.
They actually close trails during fire season?
Native rain dance...just saying. It worked in Colorado
"They actually close trails during fire season?"When there is a lot less water, also meaning more strict stove regulations and no campfires, campsite and trail use drops way down. People stay at home or do something else for vacation.
"They actually close trails during fire season?"Two years ago about 10 miles of PCT North of Mt Hood was closed because there was a fireThere have been similar closures around Three Sisters
In my neck of the woods (Southern/Central Coast CA), everything is MUCH drier than it would normally be this time of year. Some of our normally perennial streams are already just about dried up; some never really got going again after having drought conditions last year too. Most of the seasonal creeks are already done or are reduced just to a trickle. My local hiking season is over; it's already too dry and hot back there.We have seen full scale forest closures before. Usually at some point halfway through summer, the District Ranger will prohibit all fires (stoves, campfires, etc.) throughout our local NF but otherwise the areas are still at least open for use. If we get a bad fire in the region though, like we did with the Zaca Fire in 2007, the District ranger has actually taken the extreme step of officially closing the entire forest for the remainder of the summer until temps cool down.
"Looks like there will probably be a lot fewer people on the trails. That is the bright side."From what I'm hearing record number of PCT hikers
Does this mean less mosquitoes?
"From what I'm hearing record number of PCT hikers""Does this mean less mosquitoes?"Hmmm, more PCT hikers means less mosquitoes? How could that work?More PCT hikers, slapping more mosquitoes, means fewer mosquitoes?More PCT hikers, drinking more water, dries up remaining water sources, means fewer mosquitoes?More PCT hikers, cooking more meals, fry more flying mosquitoes?More PCT hikers, wearing more mosquito repellent, means fewer mosquitoes?Of course, most of these effects will be local, and might drive mosquitoes to other areas.Time to move near the PCT and become a trail angel!-- Rex
No, I mean will the low snowpack result in less mosquitoes?
Do we have any first hand accounts from the JMT yet this year ?
No, you mean "will the low snowpack result in FEWER mosquitoes?"
"No, I mean will the low snowpack result in less mosquitoes?"*ka-zing!* ...or whatever the sound sarcasm makes as it just over flies over ones head.
Edited by millonas on 05/04/2013 17:39:50 MDT.
Well, you could get by with "No, I mean will the low snowpack result in LESSER mosquitoes?" if you use "lesser" in the old sense of "less important."
Sarcasm doesn't work on the internets.
Since we are on the subject of very low water -- I'm starting May 19 at the border and going NOBO hoping to do about a 4 month thru.Never hiked out west - but plenty of east coast longer jaunts. Here is what I've done to try and minimize my risk for dehydration (feedback is much appreciated):- Assume more filtering and longer carries, so Sawyer squeeze and 5 L capacity (including dirty bladder)- Guthook PCT app plus Halfmile PCT app and PCTHYOH app with updating water reports on my Ipod Touch w/ GPS.- Early morning hiking to avoid heat of the day, mid-day naps.- DEBATING leaving my alcohol stove at home now (do to possible fire bans) and just starting stoveless (don't really want the weight of a Jetboil.- Electrolyte tablets thoughout the day for heat / sweat / ion balance.- CHROME DOME for helping me sweat less (plus a wide-brim Tilley)- Assuming won't need my microspikes or ice-ax for the Sierra's.ANYTHING ELSE ??

|Apparent murder-suicide on Apalossa Trail
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 11 June 2007 08:10
An update on a story we brought you earlier today: The two bodies discovered yesterday were apparently the result of a murder suicide.The case has been closed, according to Chief Detective Dee Dee Rominger, and no suspects are being sought.
Sheriff's deputies discovered bodies yesterday morning around 9:23 after responding to a 911 call. Rominger could not confirm if it was a domestic dispute. The bodies were those of Susan Pearce Hayes and Dale Steven Hayes. Based on preliminary findings, it appears Dale Hayes shot Susan Hayes and then himself. Susan died of gunshot wounds to the chest area and Dale died of an allegedly self-inflicted single gunshot wound to the neck area.
Rominger was proud of the organized way Watauga deputies closed off the scene until investigators arrived. They did a good job, she said.

The shelves at the Carbon County Food Bank were getting low when Castleview Hospital stepped in to help fill those shelves.
Castleview Hospital Radiology Co-Director Deborah Poloni volunteered to head the project with the help of Administrative Assistant Christine Hammer.
It was suggested to all hospital employees to bring items for the food bank, and Castleview Hospital would match every donated item pound per pound.
The boxes were filling up slowly, when Castleview CEO Mark Holyoak and Christine Hammer got the idea to link the annual employee Christmas luncheon with a food drive.
It is customary that Castleview Hospital gives their employees a ham or turkey for Christmas. Flyers were posted around the hospital stating that if you brought a can, you would get a ham. Castleview employees collected and donated 2,000 pounds of food to the local food bank, plus a match of 2,000 pounds from the hospital itself. Two tons of much-needed food have been added to the shelves of the local food bank.

Softball Swept by Georgetown in Twin Bill
OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton softball team dropped a doubleheader to BIG EAST rival Georgetown by scores of 5-2 and 6-3 on Saturday afternoon at the CU Sports Complex.
Creighton (19-12, 2-2 BIG EAST) could not overcome late runs scored by Georgetown (14-12, 5-0 BIG EAST) in the twin bill. The Jays led in both contests but the Hoyas rallied twice for the wins.
CU senior Ellen Homan led the offense for the Bluejays with three hits, two RBI and her third home run of the year on the day. Junior Liz Dike added two hits and sophomore Blake Ringle belted her second homer of the year to pick up a pair of RBI.
Creighton's senior pitching staff of Becca Changstrom and Alexis Cantu combined for 10 strikeouts from the circle but allowed nine earned runs to Georgetown.
Changstrom earned the start in game one for the Jays.
After two scoreless innings, the visiting Hoyas opened the scoring in the top of the third frame after a walk, single and RBI double to take a 1-0 advantage.
Creighton took the lead in the bottom of the inning on Homan's two-run homer that scored sophomore Kelsey Allender from first base to give the Bluejays a 2-1 lead.
The Hoyas struck back in the next half inning with a solo homer a single and a two-RBI double to move in front of CU by a score of 4-2.
Georgetown added a run in the top of the sixth inning on another solo home run to account for the 5-2 final.
Changstrom dropped to 11-6 on the year with the loss.
Cantu started game two in the circle for Creighton.
Like game one, Georgetown opened the scoring. In the top of the second the Hoyas utilized a double, walk and RBI single to jump out to an early 1-0 lead.
Creighton came back to take the lead in the bottom of the frame on a two-run dinger from Ringle to score freshman Jen Daro from first base to move in front 2-1.
The Bluejays added a run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Ringle walked to open the inning followed by a single from Bri Lingl. Both runners moved up a base on a Hoya wild pitch before a bloop RBI single by Cantu to help her cause and put CU up 3-1.
Georgetown then rallied for the win in its final at-bat in the top of the seventh. The Hoyas led off with a single then two infield errors by the Jays loaded the bases with no outs. An RBI single drew GU to within one at 3-2.
But a grand slam in the next at-bat put the Hoyas ahead for good at 6-3 for the eventual final.
Cantu dropped to 4-4 on the season with the loss.
The Bluejays conclude their first home BIG EAST series on Sunday when they battle the Hoyas again at 11 a.m. CT.
