Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR): Workshop Opportunities
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
Full Proposal Accepted Anytime
Acceptance of a White Paper by the EPSCoR Office is required before a workshop proposal can be submitted. White Papers may be submitted to the EPSCoR Office via email at any time.
The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is designed to fulfill the mandate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress nationwide. The EPSCoR program is directed at those jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF Research and Development (R&D) funding. Thirty jurisdictions, including twenty-eight states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands, currently participate in EPSCoR. Through this program, NSF establishes partnerships with government, higher education and industry that are designed to effect sustainable improvements in a jurisdiction's research infrastructure, R&D capacity, and hence, its national R&D competitiveness.
The EPSCoR Office welcomes unsolicited proposals from EPSCoR jurisdictions for workshops involving the EPSCoR community. These workshops will focus on innovative ways to address multi-jurisdictional efforts on themes of regional to national importance with relevance to EPSCoR's goals/objectives and NSF's mission.

DEFERIET Prior to a special meeting of the village board of trustees Dec. 17, former trustee William Littlefield was sworn in to serve in that capacity again until the November election.
Mr. Littlefield was defeated during last months election, which seated Timothy Irey and Janet Zando as trustees. However, write-in mayor-elect John Pais declined the position and, at the Dec. 5 meeting, Ms. Zando was elected mayor by her fellow trustees. With a vacancy on the board, Mayor Zando nominated Mr. Littlefield as trustee.
During the special meeting, the board heard proposals from Robert J. Campany of Fourth Coast Inc. for aeration control upgrades at the wastewater treatment plant and the installation of solar panels on the municipal building and/or the wastewater treatment plant.
Mr. Campany told the board he had received three bids for the work at the treatment plant. The board accepted the low base bid of $41,900 submitted by Hoover Heating and Cooling of Alexandria Bay, with an additional $9,500 for variable frequency drives and $1,700 for new premium efficiency motors.
The project will include having the plant off line for about two weeks and having the sewage pumped out and trucked to Great Bend for treatment during the down time. A spare tanker from the village of Alexandria Bay could be used for hauling.
After hearing from Mr. Campany about the possibility of installing solar panels with a 40 percent rebate from the state Energy Research and Development Agency, the board decided to table a decision. With the rebate, the village share of either estimated $77,000 project would be about $46,000, according to Mr. Campany. He said the equipment should last about 25 years, and there would be a 12- to 13-year payback for the initial investment with the electrical savings.
Representatives of Bernier, Carr and Associates gave information about the ongoing joint water project with the village of Herrings to bring the new board up to speed. The engineers said phase one of the project was complete and next they would have to find a site for the water tower which would serve both villages.

The Leadership Institute is committed to the advancement of knowledge about leadership and leadership development via the application of empirical methods grounded in integral theory. The integral "all-quadrant, all-level" perspective (see Wilber, 2000) requires a focus on both subjective (including spiritual) and objective realms of experience, with a lens capable of holding simultaneously, individual, collective and systemic dimensions of phenomena. Typical human science methodologies, because of their focus on only attitudes and behavior, are not broad enough for this task. What is needed is a methodology that can also rigorously explore human subjectivity.

I'm looking for good graphics and good gameplay. I didn't like vindictus. Thanks guys.
I'm looking for good graphics and good gameplay. I didn't like vindictus. Thanks guys.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Black Prophecy , Allaince of Valiant Arms , Arch Lord .
Some decent P2P ones are RIFT, Aion And I think LorT is a F2P but you may still need to pay for some features.
When it comes to graphics, P2P MMORPGs still win. Aion looks just too good! *-*
Good graphics + Good gameplay:
Dungeons and Dragons Online
Lord of the Rings Online
Dragon Nest (but if you don't like Vindictus you probably won't like this one either)
Final Fantasy XI
Phantasy Star Online (well at least I like the graphics haha)
for me in both and what i try my self are
Cabal online very fast combat and amazing looking skills
Dekaron fast combat and open pk
Sun soul of the ultimate nation nice action combat more like a hack and slash
RF online good fast combat and skills sci fi with big robots and huge guns xD
(depents on what race you pic xD )
and if you can w8 maby til next year
then you get guild wars 2
Continent of the ninth <------- gone w8 for this game its rely blow my ass of but i dont think you like it becouse its very simulair to Vindictus but stil its good here a sample video Continent of the Ninth Official Shaman Gameplay PvP PvE - YouTube
also 1 game that rely blow me away and i hope it comes fast is Secret world
The Secret World - First 30 Minutes Gameplay Featurette | HD - YouTube
so there you have a few samples hope it helps ^^
I wouldn't really say that Cabal, Dekaron and RF have good graphics...
Might as well throw Eden Eternal into the mix. I know the game isn't fantastic in the graphics department, but low end machines struggle to run this game AND the game is definitely worth checking out. Also Global Agenda.
Esivo You legend
Aion has top notch graphics, especially for an older game
Age of Conan as well, you do need lot of space, though.
Lord of The Rings Online. Another great game, with a lot of exploration going on.
Rift, like sarnius said. The gameplay lacks a bit, but some scenery is amazing.
EVE, also mentioned by sarnius. The User Interface is sorta annoying, though, imo. It takes some getting used to.
The prettiest-looking thing so far among f2p MMOs is Black Prophecy, IMO. I didn't get into it, but if that's your cup o' tea...

Product Test: Scrub Daddy
We bought the Scrub Daddy at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 3.99. Think of it as a different type of sponge. Our tester, Megan tried it out for us. It is pretty rough on spills, stains and dirt. It does a fine job. It is good for any type of surface. It is fairly abrasive and does work.
Our tester said it was cute -- it's in the shape of a happy face -- and it did work, but she thought the price was a little high. Still, it kept its promises and for that, it is getting two thumbs up.

Hooks and Antlers is hoping for an accident-free season for turkey hunters this May. In light of that, todays column looks at safety in the turkey-hunting woods.
Most turkey-hunting accidents occur when one hunter mistakes another hunter for a turkey, or when a gun is mishandled and accidentally discharges causing harm to the handler or someone nearby. Such incidents are preventable, though, by using common sense, by following some guidelines for safe turkey hunting, and by practicing the basics of firearm safety.
Since red, white, and blue are the colors of spring gobblers, safe hunting calls for hunters to avoid wearing those colors. When setting up, hunters are advised to select a spot with good visibility and with back protection such as a tree that is wider than the shoulders and taller than the head. If another hunter approaches your set up, avoid making any motions and speak out in a loud voice to make the hunter aware of your presence.
Too, turkey hunters should always avoid the temptation to sneak up on a bird for a shot. For one thing, you may be moving in on another hunters calling and set up. From a practical perspective, a turkey would likely spot your movement before you got close enough for a shot anyway. When setting out a decoy, place it in an open area and where you would not be in the line of fire from an approaching hunter. Also, if other hunters may be in the area, it is generally advisable to avoid using gobbler calls as such sounds might attract other hunters toward you.
Common sense calls for spring hunters to always positively identify their target as a bearded turkey and to always avoid shooting at sound or movement. From both a safety and ethical perspective, avoid encroaching upon another hunter who is already in an area or who is already working a bird.
The basics of firearm safety hold true for all shooting and hunting situations, and the first fundamental is to always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Also, firearms should always be treated as if they are loaded. When shooting, it is critical that the shooter be sure of his target and what is in front of and beyond that accurately identified target. To prevent any accidental discharge, the trigger finger should be kept outside of the trigger guard until the individual is ready to shoot. Too, hunters are reminded to avoid running, jumping, or climbing with a loaded firearm.
Sponsored by the Henderson Harbor Performing Arts Center, the always popular Henderson Harbor Spring Classic is set for May 16-19. The 2013 derby features a $1,000 first-place prize in the brown trout, northern pike, and walleye divisions and a $500 first-place prize in the pickerel and lake trout divisions. In addition, prizes will be awarded for second through fifth places in all divisions.
Interested individuals can register ($20 for adults and $5 for youths 16-and-under) and get a complete set of rules at Henchen Marina in Henderson Harbor, at Gander Mountain in Watertown, or BJs Bait Shop in Dexter. Weigh-ins will take place at West View Lodge from 2-6 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and from noon until 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
Gary Strader, who had a 40-year career as a predator control agent and who authored Master Wolfer, is presenting a coyote seminar at the St. Lawrence Valley Sportsmens Club at 3 p.m. May 18. Topics include calling, hunting, and trapping coyotes. The event features a drawing for a 3-day hunt for mountain lion, bobcats, and coyotes in New Mexico where Strader currently lives and practices his craft. For more information, call Ken Tynon at 393-5318.
In conjunction with the St. Lawrence River Bassmaster Elite tournament at Waddington this summer, organizers are putting together an expo titled Tastes and Talents of the North Country.
Part of that expo includes a section called Anglers Alley, and this section includes angling professionals, fishing guides, bait and tackle shops, and other fishing-related individuals or businesses. The folks at Bassmaster Elite, St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, and FISHCAP envision Anglers Alley as a one-stop spot for fishing information for visitors in hopes that those visitors will return to the area for future fishing ventures. Dates of the expo are August 9-11, and interested parties should contact Jo Ann Roberts at 386-4000.

SANTA FE – A town that not so long ago had to live without any movie theaters may be about to make up for lost time in a big way.Los Alamos is a front runner to become the location for the world's first Immersive Visualization Theater.Peter Rogina, president of WorldScape Inc., said he has begun discussions with Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation with an eye to installing a new multi-dimensional immersion facility in the Research Park. The theater would be located outside the security perimeter and adjacent to the main administrative buildings at Los Alamos National Laboratory.Rogina said the theater could be a major new attraction for the county."To use a Star Wars analogy," he said, "it would be the world's first holodeck." The holodeck, a geek icon, enabled crewmembers in the television series to fuse imagination and reality.Rogina appeared on a panel Saturday presented by the Santa Fe Film Festival on "Entering the Third Dimension," about new 3-D media technologies.Moderator Peter Warzel, senior vice president of Veriana Networks, introduced the participants and what he called the "hot topic" and "hot product" of the hour, 3-D and immersive imaging technologies."These technologies are moving beyond the big screen, conceptually, if not in fact," he said.

You simply need to change it with icepref. By default, it's set to ppp0. If you use dial-up in Linux, that's fine. If you use dial-up in FreeBSD though, you need to change it to tun0. I recently had to do that myself. However the CPU guage is a different story.Yeah, the ports aren´t always perfect in freebsd. For example the net monitor in icewm doesn´t work in freebsd. I really like that feature.
As for the difference between the two, I have tried FreeBSD several times and though I've came to like it, I had to come back to Linux every time on my main computer. The first two times were because I wasn't quite ready for it. The last time was because of hardware support. It doesn't support my sound card and possibly not my network card either. Those are two things I can't do without. My conclusion: I recommend Linux for the desktop. It just plain has more hardware and software support. But if you have another computer or a server to try out FreeBSD on, do go ahead. It's fun to use and it runs really well. It also doesn't hurt to get to know different flavors of unix if you want to be an administrator like I do. Use the right tool for the right job and have fun while doing it.

After holding off a possible strike two weeks ago, New York Air Brake management and the machinists union agreed Saturday to a new tentative labor contract.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 761, which represents 150 employees at the Watertown manufacturer, ratified the three-year contract Saturday afternoon after company and union representatives negotiated a deal late Friday.
Details of the terms of the contact and the results of the union vote were not released Saturday.
Air Brake President Michael J. Hawthorne said after the vote that the contract still must be finalized. Well have it all in place within about two weeks, he said.
Two weeks ago, the union and Air Brake, which manufactures heavy-haul freight products, agreed to continue negotiations a day after the rank and file rejected the companys proposed contract calling for wage and benefit cuts and threatened a strike. Since then, the two sides met for four extensive negotiating sessions that each lasted more than eight hours, Mr. Hawthorne said.
I give the union credit for working through negotiations, he said, adding that he appreciated employees for their high professionalism while the agreement was worked out during the past two weeks.
Peter B. Cooney, business representative for Local 761, could not be reached for comment Saturday night.
Air Brake had proposed to cut union members pay by from 59 cents to as much as $4.15 an hour, depending on job classification. The company also proposed an incentive plan, based on performance, in exchange for those cuts. The average union wage at Air Brake is $20.88, the union had said.
Besides the wage cuts, the union opposed provisions ending the unions pension plan, replacing it with a 401(k); scrapping seniority protections, and granting the company authority to hire nonunion workers. The latter provision would enable the company to hire part-time workers with no health benefits.
The new contract will guarantee 50 jobs that will be transferred from the companys plant in Kingston, Ontario, which had been announced in February, Mr. Hawthorne said. It also could bring new products to the Watertown facility that could result in additional jobs, he said.
The company is closing its Knorr Brake Ltd. facility and moving the 50 jobs to manufacture locomotive braking products to its Watertown headquarters.

Comments about Long-Sleeved Island Hopper Shirt (Men's) New:
Last summer as I traveled through the Henry's Fork River in Idaho, I happened to see a guide in the fly shop wearing this shirt. He said he lives in the shirt fishing the Henry's River and couldn't recommend it more highly. I got home and checked the net to buy one. You guys had them on sale and I bit on 2 of them. I actually bought two of these shirts in different colors. This is the most comfortable high quality shirt I've ever had the pleasure to wear. Great for hot weather and breathes extremly well but still tough. Buy one.

Comments about Long-Sleeved Island Hopper Shirt (Men's) New:
Great for wearing in warm or hot climates, very nice fabric (as usual for the Patagonia brand), the construction is excellent and it looks like it will be very durable. It is designed to be cooling with air vents, and the long sleeves will keep the midday sun off your skin unless you feel like rolling them up.

ESSEX–As the buzzer sounded signaling the end of the Division II Northern Vermont Youth Football League title game, the cheers erupted from the stands, the bench, and the field, as the North Country Junior Falcons defeated the Winooski Spartans, becoming champions once again.
The team that began the year with an 0-2 record rebounded beautifully, taking ownership of their season and rolling their way through the competition to get the championship game and become the kings of Division II.
"We started out kind of rough, losing our first two games," said coach Paul Gariepy, who after nine years of coaching won his first championship in his first ever victory over Winooski.
It is also Paul's first year with the 7/8th grade team after working with the younger kids, and he and his staff ironed out the early kinks and got the team on track.
"We knew we had work to do to blend this unit into game shape.
"After the second game the units blended together and we started working as a team and haven't lost since. We won eight straight and it's been an exceptional year."
The last time the Falcons hoisted the trophy, the roster featured names like Tre Sanville, Nick LeClair, Bubba Collins and Jacob Buckles.
This year's crew was a blend of speed and size, and they matched up terrifically against the Winooski Spartans.
Said Gariepy, "We had an outstanding performance from our offense, our defense and our special teams. Having a total team involvement pushed us to this level and it is all about those kids. They worked hard, deserved this win, and now they are reaping the rewards."
The players were also pleased with how Gariepy's staff worked and encouraged them all season.
"They are good coaches," said Austin Lamoureux. "They talked a lot about sportsmanship, gave pep talks, and were always on their game."
The Falcons had a lot of players with standout efforts on Saturday.
On defense, while the group as a whole was pretty impressive, Rian Hayman-Jones, Lamoureux and Aidan Hogan were especially effective, either in pass defense, or with a big stop in third and fourth down situations.
"Aidan Hogan came through with a big effort for us. He had some blitzes right through the scrimmage line and made Winooski lose yardage. Also Austin was controlling the outside, and it was tough going against their top guy number 40 (Jack Fitzgerald)," Gariepy said when asked about his defense.
"This is awesome," said Hogan on the win.
He also spoke about what was working for him on the field.
"I was breaking through the lines, going as hard as I could and I tried my hardest."
On offense, Evan Sarault was once again calm under center, distributing the ball with a blend of hand-offs and passes, leading the team back from a 13-7 deficit at the half.
His two big weapons were names that came up all season long for the Falcons; Garrett Gile and Trey Azur.
Gile's second TD tied the game, and after the Falcons went ahead on Troy Sanville's extra point, Azur sealed the 20-13 win with his running touchdown with 1:51 left to play.
"Garrett and Trey both had a tremendous game running," said Gariepy. "Once they broke to the outside their was no stopping them, they had the speed, and they have had it all year."
Said Azur on his late touchdown, "We thought they might have had a chance to comeback, but I had a lot of confidence getting into that endzone."
North Country had one final award to receive after they game, as Lamoureux was named the team's 2012 Sportsmanship Award winner.
"It feels really good to win the Sportsmanship Award," Lamoureux said. "You need good sportsmanship and if you don't have it, you might as well not play."
A lot of the guys on the team hope that this success will follow them at the varsity level in the coming years.
"I want to go through high school and win most of the games," said Hogan.
Added Azur, "This says that our high school team is going to be strong, and that we have a good chance of winning."
While whether or not these guys can duplicate the successes that the North Country class of 2012 achieved remains to be seen, you can definitely bet that they will give it their all along the way.

(KARE) For the last few days Ashlea Caldwell has had a stuffy head. As a preschool teacher she knows a cough could mean bad news. So on Wednesday she went into Urgent Care. Getting in wasn't easy.
"I stopped somewhere else on my way in and there was a three hour wait there so I thought it would be a little while but not that long," Caldwell said of her two hour wait.
Waiting times at other clinics and emergency rooms are surpassing the two hour mark too. Some places reported a 4 hour wait period at peak times with many people coming in with symptoms of the flu. If you think people are getting sick more, it's not just in your head.
"The activity that we're seeing is very vigorous," Kris Ehresmann, director of immunizations for the Minnesota Department of Health, said.
The flu season started earlier than usual and it's on track to be perhaps the highest since the H1N1 outbreak in 2009.

The Watertown Urban Missions eighth annual Dollar Dinners program served up a few thousand fewer meals than in years past, but organizers were particularly happy with the turnout at sites outside the city.
Development director Andrew G. Mangione said dinners served in Brownville and Chaumont for the first time attracted 90 to 110 people per dinner. Attendance at dinners in Watertown ranged from 60 to 400 people.
Having the opportunity to extend these great events into surrounding communities is a goal weve reached, Mr. Mangione said. The hope for next year is to continue this outreach into the extended communities and promote the events to reach even more people.
About 7,000 meals at 36 dinners were served during the programs eighth season, which was a decline from the 8,800 served during the 2011-12 season and 9,700 served during the 2010-11 season. Mr. Mangione said the agency had hoped to reach upwards of 10,000 meals for the 2012-13 season, but many factors, including weather and limited promotion, could make a difference in attendance.
Each church or organization that hosts a dinner is reimbursed a maximum $450 from the mission. Mr. Mangione said many participating organizations put far more time, energy and money into their dinners, to help lower the cost for the mission. The whole 2012-13 season cost $9,000, but since the dinners raised $6,000, the mission had to cover only $3,000.
The program began in 2005 to offer people a way to cope with rising heating costs in the winter. If people cannot afford the $1 meal, they can obtain free Dollar Dinner coupons at various locations throughout the city and redeem them for the meal. Many attendees, however, go to meal sites and donate more than $1.
The 2012-13 season ran from Sept. 16 to April 10, and planning for the ninth season is underway. Any church or organization interested in being a part of the Dollar Dinner program can call Mr. Mangione at the agency, 782-8440.
We would love to extend this north, south, east and west, and certainly as our member churches in each of these areas and other organizations see the success we had in Brownville and Chaumont, we hope this will grow, he said.

Do I need a climate controlled storage unit in Atlanta?
The forecast high for Atlanta is 78 degrees today. The record high for today in Atlanta is 82 degrees. High temperatures and humidity can cause mold and mildew to thrive. If you're considering storing items that are susceptible to mold and mildew during this period, consider renting a climate controlled storage unit.
Does Atlanta student population affect self-storage prices?
Colleges and universities located in or nearby Atlanta include Clark Atlanta University, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Morehouse College, Shorter University College of Adult Professional Programs, Spelman College. College students often need storage during summer and winter breaks and can drive prices up during these seasons.

chicago o'hare long stop over timeJul 24, 20143on sun 10th Aug, I fly from Tampa to Chicago O'Hare and have 4.5hrs stop over before next flight to Dublin, Ireland. Can I leave the airport to visit a relative who lives near the airport? My bag would be checked thro' from Tampa to Dublin. How would this suggestion work with re-entering departures and security.brittasWed, Jul 23Yes, you can leave, but unless your relative lives VERY close to the airport I don't recommend leaving. To get back through security you will just have to show your ORD-Dublin boarding pass.ZAPWed, Jul 23Thankyou Zap, that is very helpful. As a matter of interest, how long would it take to get through security?brittasThu, Jul 24
Switching flights with a dog with 1 hr layoverJul 19, 20144I am flying from Washington, to Norfolk, Virginia, on the 23rd of July. I have a 1 hr and 5 min layover in Dallas. I am bringing my small dog. He already has his health certificate and carrier. The first flight is 4 hours long, and the second is 3, so I will need to take him to a pet relief area between the two flights. My concern is that I have to find time to pay for his ticket for each flight, as well as get him to the pet relief area, and find my way back through security, with in one hour. I am absolutely unwilling to place him in the cargo hold. This layover will be from 11:55- 12:50. What can I do to ensure that I can make this flight on time, with my dog in the cabin with me? I am willing to switch flights if possible. Please let me know how I may deal with this situation. The gate numbers are not yet posted, but I am flying on Wednesday the 23rd. My assumption is that this is not a busy day, and based off of this chart I am assuming the actual security check point won't have a wait time longer than 25 minutes tops. How might I find out about the other wait times and travel times? Thank you.NatkatFri, Jul 18Unless you purchased two separate flights you won't have to pay a second cabin pet fee in Dallas. Security wait times at DFW are generally short as there are many many checkpoints. Just take the dog outside right after you arrive - you should have plenty of time to get back through security before your next flight.ZAPFri, Jul 18If the kennel with dog can fit under the seat in front of you, your airline may allow you to bring the dog onboard free. Check with your airline. Google ahead for airport map to see where pet reliefs are located. (As of August 2013 the Pet Relief area at DFW was at Terminal E, area 34.)

Does Midway have a service for disabled people that helps them with getting the luggage to the check in ? Thank you for any info.IdaWed, Apr 23For wheelchair assistance you need to call your airline 24 hrs prior to departure, so that someone will be outside at curb helping you all the way to the gate. Also find out about their pet policy. If you can put your cat (in kennel) in front of your feet inside the plane - it would not cost you extra & would be more humane for the cat (you can also find airline info regarding wheelchairs and pets on your computer (www. airline name.com) 2. As to Terminal service, ask for the 'Purple Airplane Sticker from any Airport or Security staff -and trained Airport volunteers will be happy to assist you. Both the Garage & Economy parking have special parking spaces. The economy lot has a free shuttle bus with lift (tel. 1-773-838-0756.)weapr14Wed, Apr 23I'm a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines. You didn't mention if your cat was an emotional support animal or traveling as a pet. Pets are an extra charge. Here is our info: "Southwest Airlines allows customers to carry small pets (cats and dogs only) on board all Southwest Airlines flights. All in-cabin pets must be carried in an appropriate pet carrier. The pet fee is $75 each way per pet carrier before January 14th, 2014." If however your cat is an emotional support pet, you will need a note from Your Personal doctor, M.D. or whomever, stating that your cat is emotional support, then your cat travels free (you will still need a pet carrier). Please be kind to the flight attendant though and don't pet your darling during the flight, I'm allergic...AhhhChoo! :]AllyOWed, Apr 23Thank you and Yes, I checked on the Pet policy already dear.

I wanted to add this last flight, not on my itinerary.cjmSat, Feb 15It will be hard to make that connection but it is doable. You will arrive in Terminal B and be transported to the International Arrivals Building for US Immigration where you will claim your baggage and go through customs. Then, if your tickets are tagged through to Norfolk you can drop your bags at the re-check desk, otherwise you will have to take them up to the departures level, go to the United ticket counter, and check in and pay a bag fee. You will also get your United boarding pass then. You will then go through security and then take the Mobile lounge or AeroTrain to your departure gate (which will likely be in Concourse A or C). That is a lot to do in just 90 minutes.ZAPSun, Feb 16

Never before had there been such a total air victory in the history of aerial combat.
The name "Flying Tigers" burned itself in the pages of world history for all time.
For years after the Flying Tigers disbanded in 1942, they had been known as a mercenary air force in the service of the Chinese government. Finally on July 4, 1991, in a ceremony honoring the Flying Tigers, the United States Government belatedly admitted the truth - the Flying Tigers had been created by secret order of President Franklin Roosevelt months before Pearl Harbor to help the Chinese defend their cities from the relentless bombing by the Japanese, who had invaded China in 1937.
Three hundred men and women were recruited from within the ranks of the U.S. Armed Services. Pilots, aircraft mechanics, propeller specialists, doctors, nurses, clerks and even a chaplain joined what was called the American Volunteer Group. They signed a one-year contract to protect the only supply route open for the United States to deliver war material to China - the Burma Road. They boarded ships from the West Coast in the spring and summer of 1941, traveling as missionaries, planters, even circus performers - disguises to mask their true mission and protect FDR's secret effort to keep China from falling to the Japanese without provoking a war with Japan.

Environmental Markets
Business Selection and Environmental Advisory
We assess and manage environmental and social risk with the same disciplined approach that the firm uses when managing all business risks.
We seek diverse opinions, escalate relevant issues and hold our people accountable for their judgment and decisions. Our Environmental Policy Framework ("Framework") and sector-specific due diligence guidelines provide the basis for evaluating business selection decisions and managing environmental risk. The Framework articulates our commitment to ensuring that our people, capital and ideas are used to help find and scale-up effective market-based solutions to address climate change, ecosystem degradation and other critical environmental issues. As part of this commitment, we believe it is important to take the environmental impacts and practices of our clients and potential clients into consideration as we make business selection decisions. Through prudent risk management, we not only protect the firm's reputation, but also differentiate our advice to our clients and, where feasible, work with them to adopt more sustainable practices.
The Framework is reviewed by our Board and the guidelines are updated for emerging issues. The Public Responsibilities Committee of the Board reviews Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues affecting the firm, including through the periodic review of the ESG Report.
Selecting Business and Engaging with Clients
We approach the management of environmental, social and governance risks with the same care and discipline as any other business risk. All advisory, financing and principal investing teams conduct ESG research as part of their routine due diligence requirements. As appropriate, market making and asset management teams also conduct reviews. Our Environmental Markets Group (EMG) assists business teams by providing guidance on environmental related matters, doing independent reviews as appropriate and identifying mitigants and positive engagement opportunities with the client to reduce risk. The Business Intelligence Group (BIG), which is part of our Legal Division and, takes a broad view of risk that includes legal, regulatory, governance and social, works closely with EMG on the transaction review process. In certain cases, Corporate Environmental Management, which is an in house team of environmental consultants with strong technical expertise, will also conduct in-depth due diligence and weigh in on environmental, health and safety (EHS) issues.
Transactions that have significant ESG issues are elevated for discussion and final business selection decision that involve key committees, business leaders, members of the Management Committee and/or the Chairman's office. See Report of the Business Standards Committee for committee governance structure.
Though we are not a signatory to the Equator Principles as we are not an active participant in project financing or project related corporate loans, we seek to apply the general Equator Principle guidelines to transactions where applicable.
Our Due Diligence Guidelines
In addition to the firm-wide review process, we equip teams in sensitive sectors with due diligence guidelines and training to evaluate new business opportunities effectively. This includes background on current ESG issues and sensitivities in the sector, and potential questions to discuss with a company. We have due diligence guidelines that span eight sectors and six subsectors. The following provides an overview of transactions that were reviewed by EMG in 2014.
We recognize that risk management and business selection decisions are complex and often have to take into account potential trade-offs. When we identify potentially significant ESG issues, we prefer to address the issue by working with the client. Whether it is working with an extractive company in strengthening its commitment to sustainable development or engaging with an emerging market power company in facilitating the adoption of industry best practices, through proactive engagement with our clients we are able to differentiate our advice and create a better outcome for the environment, our clients and our own risk management. Where such engagement is not feasible and the transaction involves potentially material environmental damage, significant social issues or unacceptable risks that directly conflict with the firm's policy, we will forgo the assignment.
For example, mountaintop removal, a form of surface mining used in the Appalachian region of the United States, remains controversial given the significant impact it has on ecosystems, water quality and local communities. For potential transactions for companies engaged in mountaintop removal, we perform enhanced due diligence before making business selection decisions. Among other factors, we review companies' environmental, health and safety (EHS) track record, regulatory compliance, litigation and local community issues, remediation methods, and impact on water quality. When there are potential opportunities to raise new capital for a company that has coal production from mountaintop removal, we will work with the client to improve their environmental footprint by looking for opportunities to reduce the portion of the mountaintop removal production over time, enhance remediation methods, and reduce their impact on water quality. Where this has not been feasible and we have not been able to constructively engage with the company on these issues, we have foregone the financing opportunity.
We also continue to monitor emerging issues, regulatory developments, concerns of key stakeholders, as well as best practices relating to the environment. As part of this undertaking, we frequently meet with a number of environmental non-governmental organizations. We will periodically review and update our guidelines for emerging issues and evolving environmental concerns.
For example, hydraulic fracturing has been in use for many decades, but technological advances in its application coupled with horizontal drilling have allowed far greater production and more economic extraction of unconventional oil & gas. This has driven significant production of shale gas and liquids in the U.S., contributing to expansion of domestic energy, greater affordability of energy for consumers and industry, jobs and economic growth. However, with the rapid expansion of hydraulic fracturing, there have been increasing concerns associated with the extraction technique related to the water consumption, impact on water quality, wastewater disposal methods, air emissions and local community impacts. As such, following an in-depth review process which started in 2011, we established a new set of enhanced due diligence guidelines for unconventional oil & gas and hydraulic fracturing, which has been applied across transactions in this sector. The guidelines specify key questions that need to be addressed on these issues, including but not limited to: companies' care taken on location and site selection; well construction method including integrity of casing and cementing; management of on-going operations including well flow and pressure monitoring; integrated water management including groundwater testing, water withdrawal, wastewater management; fracking fluid usage and disclosure; air emissions management; and engagement with and mitigation of impacts on the local community. These are in addition to normal course EHS related questions, regulatory and legal compliance, and governance requirements.
We train our people in relevant business areas on our ESG due diligence and risk management process and the Framework as new hires. In addition, they participate in ongoing training. Last year, over 550 new employees received ESG training.

OGDENSBURG Local and state officials say they are preparing to fight to maintain jobs and services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
Children and adult services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will be moved to other facilities under a three-year plan to revamp the states mental health system released today by the Office of Mental Health.
Adults formerly receiving treatment at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will be receiving treatment at Empire Upstate Regional Center of Excellence, Syracuse. Children will be receiving treatment at the Empire State Regional Center of Excellence in Utica.
The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will maintain its secure sex offender treatment program, to be operated under the Central New York Forensic Center of Excellence.
Community services are expected to expand at Ogdensburg, which will be designated a community service hub. An OMH spokesman could not immediate say what services would be provided in Ogdensburg.
OMH said in a news release that the plan will provide for continuity of employment for OMH workers, but it was unclear what staffing level the Ogdensburg facility will maintain. The center currently employs 520 people. Positions associated with inpatient care will be transitioned to community care positions. Inpatient positions that are maintained will be transferred to facilities that offer inpatient services. Employees will also be given the opportunity to transfer to vacant positions within the OMH system, and to vacancies in other state agencies.
Officials worry that means many workers will have to leave the area to maintain employment.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said the north countrys state lawmakers will need to work hard to mitigate the job losses in Ogdensburg.
There are jobs not directly related to treatment that Im very concerned about, she said. Thats why I will be advocating vigorously to try to retain the services that are currently at the psychiatric center.
She said she also worries about families having to travel long distances to see loved ones who will remain in inpatient care, as well as what effect being far from home will have on patients.
These few regional centers of excellence across the middle of the state are not sufficiently close to the populations that need them, she said. We should be maintaining the service levels there, if not expanding them. That will continue to be my push.
The transitions is not expected to take place for two more state budget cycles, she said, which will hopefully give lawmakers enough time to undo potential job losses and service reductions.
Its not a win situation, St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force Chairman Charles W. Kelly said. Theyre talking about expanding community care, which is wonderful, but thats something they should have done 50 years ago, that they said they were going to do 50 years ago, and didnt. The question is whether they will do it now.
Mr. Kelly said the task force has requested a meeting with acting OMH Commissioner Kristin M. Woodlock, and will meet tomorrow to figure out its next steps.
Were going to fight, he said.
