The matter did not take long to discuss, but the Carbon County Board of Education voted tentatively to conduct a leeway election on Feb. 4, 2003 during the panel's regularly scheduled public meeting last Wednesday.
"Right now, we are ninth from the bottom in the state in property tax rates," said William Jewkes, the school district's business administrator. "If we increased that levy to .0011, it would put us in 15th place in the state, which is just above the present average."
If the .0011 leeway rate were approved by Carbon County voters, the proposal would mean property taxes would be increased on homes and businesses.
For instance, the property tax on a private residence valued at $100,000 would increase $61 and a business with the same value would go up $110 per year.
The board discussed the options of such an election, but the general feeling among the members was that the extra money was needed for the operations of the school district.
Things mentioned that money from the increase could be used for included employing a special reading teacher at each elementary school to help students who are having trouble, several types of building improvements and raises for teachers as well as staff in the district.
Jewkes pointed out that the cost of running an election would be about $3000, win or lose.
Since the discussion was not listed as an action item on the education board's agenda, the final resolution will be examined and voted upon during the school district's public meeting in December.
Addressing an unrelated matter at the Nov. 13 meeting, the board of education discussed the school district's travel policy for athletic and non-athletic events.
Carbon High choir director Tony Pinedo asked the board members for permission for the group of students to travel to California or Florida during the current school year during and for a few days before spring break.
Several questions arose about what the district's policy has been regarding out-of-state and long distance travel.
It was determined that travel by groups like the choir during the school has been limited to an every other or every three year period. Trips planned when school is not in session need approval from the board, but are not limited in any other way.
Pinedo pointed out that the only district resources he is requesting for the choir trip is a bus ride to and from the airport.
Otherwise, the participating choir students would pay for the trip.
The Carbon High choir director also told the board members that the students' grades were not dependent upon whether they made the trip.
In a related matter, board member Walt Borla questioned the travel of the boys basketball team at Carbon High in December.
Borla pointed out that the team will be traveling to Tremonton for a tournament then, one week and four days later, the Dinos will be going to St. for a couple more games.
"That just seems like a lot of travel and expense," said Borla. "Why can't they schedule games closer to home or even have a tournament here?"
The board discussed the issue.
Doug Hintze, assistant superintendent, pointed out that it is often difficult to arrange for teams to come to Carbon County and play.
The board approved the travel request submitted.
During last week's public session, Superintendent David Armstrong showed the board of education members and the local residents gathered at the meeting the new grading system that is currently being used in the district's elementary schools.
The superintendent passed out examples of the new report cards, which don't measure student achievement in terms of the traditional A to E grade format. Instead, the report cards deal with student performance based on exceeding, meeting or being below grade level.
The form is more complicated than traditional grade reports, but also contains much more information that the old cards did.
Armstrong also passed out pacing guides that go along with the new grading system.
The guides show what a student should be learning each month during the school year in basic subjects.
"Next year, we will be passing those out to parents so they can see the schedule of what their child should be learning each month," pointed outthe school district superintent on Monday.
Most county school district employees in attendance at the board of education meeting last week were positive about the change.
But the district employees pointed out that the new reports are more work for teachers to complete and some parents did not the cards because they felt grades are more descriptive.
"We passed those out at mid-term parent teacher conferences and let the parents know what would be coming out," indicated Kerry Jensen, the principal at Wellington Elementary following the board meeting. "When they came out, I only got a complaint about it from one parent."
The new report cards are part of the "no child left behind format" that the local public school system is pursuing.
In terms of report cards and pacing schedules, Carbon County School District is one of the leaders in Utah, according to the officials.
Sally Mauro Elementary School was honored at the meeting for receiving the Utah Council of International Reading Association's exemplary program award for 2002.
The award was presented after three years of hard work and intensive training to implement the reading excellence act at the school in Helper.
The state will now enter the reading program developed and implemented at Sally Mauro Elementary into the national competition.
During the public comment period at last week's meeting, Jana Hoyt asked the board members why Carbon County educators have not received the $150 the Utah Legislature appropriated per teacher for supplies.
Jewkes explained that the money will not arrive at the school district offices until after the first of the year.
When the money arrives at the school district, Jewkes indicated that the teachers will receive the funds for purchasing classroom supplies.

WARRENVILLE, Ill. – Naperville resident Bryan Hanson has been named chief operating officer and senior vice president of Exelon Generation's nuclear fleet. Exelon is the largest operator of nuclear power facilities in the U.S.
In his new role, Hanson will oversee the daily operation for all 10 of Exelon's nuclear facilities.
"Bryan has demonstrated outstanding leadership of Exelon's Midwest nuclear plants, ensuring all plant personnel maintain a steadfast focus on the safe operation of those facilities," said Exelon Nuclear President and Chief Nuclear Officer Mike Pacilio. "His technical knowledge of our nuclear plants, coupled with his ambition and relentless pursuit of excellence are what will help drive our organization to be the best operator of nuclear plants in the world."
Hanson, who has been with the company his entire career, has held various managerial positions within both Exelon's Midwest and Mid-Atlantic operations, which include Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Prior to his newly named position, Hanson was the senior vice president of operations for Exelon Generation's six Midwest nuclear facilities and 11 reactors: Braidwood Generating Station, Byron Generating Station, Clinton Power Station, Dresden Generating Station, LaSalle Generating Station and Quad Cities Generating Station.

In both these roles, he was responsible for all plant operations. He also has been vice president of nuclear oversight, Limerick Generating Station plant manager, and director of operations and work control.
Hanson is on the board of directors for Easter Seals DuPage and the Fox Valley Region, and he also serves on the University of Wisconsin Engineering Physics Advisory Board.
Hanson earned a bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and a Master of Business Administration from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. Hanson is a graduate of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Senior Nuclear Plant Management Program and the Exelon Leadership Institute at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.

Musical Genres and Instruments Lesson Plan: Learning and Making Music
Submitted by: Angela Watson
In this musical genres lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades K-8, students use BrainPOP resources to conduct independent and/or collaborative research on a selected musical topic. Students will share their research about a musical genre, instrument, musician, or aspect of learning music with the class using web 2.0 tools or other presentation methods.
Students will:
- Conduct independent and/or collaborative research on a selected topic related to musical genres, learning music, or making music.
- Share their research findings with the class using web 2.0 tools or other presentation methods.
- Access to BrainPOP's website or mobile app
- Computers for students to use or mobile devices
Preparation:The focus of this lesson is to support students in identifying their musical interests and sharing them with others. The lesson can also be used to introduce a unit of study or as a culminating activity.
To prepare for the lesson, familiarize yourself with the movie topics in the Musical Genres, Learning Music, and Making Music units. Select the ones which are appropriate for your students and place them on a list to be shared with the class.
Lesson Procedure:
- Share a few of your own areas of musical interest with the class: an instrument you're fascinated with, a favorite musical genre or musician, an aspect of learning music that you love to read about, etc. You may want to share props, photos, or sound clips as well.
- Tell the class you'd like to learn more about the aspects of music that are fascinating to them! Display the list of BrainPOP topics you pre-selected. Give students time to explore the topics and select one that interests them. You may choose to allow students to work in pairs or groups.
- Ask students to write the names of 3-6 movie topic pages (depending on your students' ability levels) that they intend to explore in order to become experts in their chosen area. Alternatively, students can use their mobile devices to submit their movie topics to you via Google doc or form, Edmodo, etc. Help students narrow or expand their topics as needed and ensure that they have selected appropriate movies to help further their understanding.
- If needed, provide note-taking sheets, graphic organizers, or other support for students to use in recording what they learn. Outlines, webs, KWL charts, 5 W charts, item/description charts, and more are available on the Graphic Organizers page.
- Explain that students will be able to choose a presentation method to share their research with the class. Allow them to brainstorm some possible ways they can communicate what they learned: Voicethread, a blog post, video, podcast, PowerPoint, Prezi, poster, skit, etc.
- Give students time in class or at home to conduct their research. Check in with them frequently to provide support and guide students in their thinking.
- Assign each student a time to present or share their newfound expertise either in person or by posting their videos, etc. to a class blog. You may want to invite families and community members to view students' presentations and comment on them.
Extension Activity:Ask students to consider what career paths might enable them to continue following their passions and learn more about musical topics that interest them. Encourage students to research various jobs in the area of music and connect (via Skype, email, etc.) with people who are working in their chosen field. What other things will they need to learn to be successful in the career they've selected? What else can they do to develop their skills?

Greetings everyone!
I have a Dell that was running WinXP Pro. and SUSE 9.0 server, on separate hard drives. It seems that Grub flubbed, and now forgot how to get to Windows! I can only access SUSE at the moment, using GRUB. But SUSE seems to have it's limitations. I have tried to install a printer driver for an HP Photosmart 3210 All-In-One color printer. Cups doesn't seem to have a driver for it. I tried to use Mandriva's RPM version but met resistance on that also, and the installation failed. I then went to the HP's site, and downloaded the Linux tarball for that printer, but the compilation failed to complete.
If I am to be stuck with only SUSE on that computer, then I need it to be fully functional. And that includes to be able to print documents.
Can anyone help?
P.S. I may not be able to come on this site as often as I'd like. Pls. send info to: zonofabe-at-gmail.com Thanks.

Student Spotlight: Sorojini Abass, PsyD program
The life of a clinical psychology student can be tough. Heavy course loads, licensing requirements, and client engagements can take a toll. And then if you're a working parent?
When Saybrook PsyD student and mother Sorojini Abass experienced adversity and financial restraint, she didn't falter – and she came out on top. She's now interning at the prestigious Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
You can hear the tiredness in Sorojini's voice at the end of the day, but when mentioning her work at Baylor she lights up. "It has been excellent", she says. "Baylor College of Medicine has outstanding supervisors, interns and post doctoral interns. It is a very nurturing environment; they know that you're there to learn and so they're prepared to teach. It's very nurturing and they teach well."
"The challenge was to hold my end up," she says. "Carry on with things as normal, try to put a brave face for my daughter. Luckily she adjusted well, so when these adversities arise you just have to keep going and look forward that something is going to work out. During the time that I was going through that rough period there, Dr. (Kristopher) Lichtanski (her lead faculty member at Saybrook) was calling me on a daily basis, and that helped me tremendously, to know that I got support from him."
Sorojini offers helpful advice to Saybrook students seeking or presently training in a practicum or internship. "The first thing I would say is go in with an open mind. Do not go there riding on a high horse and feel that you know it all. Sometimes you're in places where - and this has been my experience also - there are people who haven't been as well trained who may feel kind of threatened. They feel like you're trying to tell them how to do things and they've been there longer on the job."
You have to be sensitive, Sorojini urges. "You have to listen more than talk and try to figure out your environment first before you know that's it's safe for you to come out and say anything. At least that's what I have found. I know some people may not agree - they may feel that you assert yourself and do what you have to do. But I think as a pre-doctoral intern, you do have to have patience. You have to listen and figure out what's going on before you say anything."
But when the time comes to speak, Sorojini says, Saybrook helped her have something important to say. "Saybrook educated and trained me in the humanistic tradition: seeing the patient holistically and not focusing on just labeling and diagnosis," she says. "I've learned a lot, and I take that with me every day. I try to look at everything - the whole person."

Enjoy these pictures taken by Jeff Van Natta.
Pictures posted of Norwalk prom
400 photos and 200 are doubles.
Lots of bright colors this year. Everyone looked great!!
Moderators have removed this comment because it contained A duplicate post.
Everyone looked nice. Is it just me or do some of the dresses plunge way too low? Never would let my daughter go out like that.
The stores are full of "playboy mansion" type dresses. I was shocked and even a little appalled by some of them! It is hard to find a compromise, parent friendly, teen friendly.
I actually think the dresses were all gorgeous and the styles were beautiful! I love how the long dresses are back in style! Plunging neckline or not, LOVED them!
are those young ladies pointing their fingers like a gun? the people in the next pic are pointing right at the camera. luckily nobody got hurt! they should be suspended immediately if the young boy who nibbled his pop tart into the shape of a gun got suspended for his actions..

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Rural/Metro Ambulance announced Monday evening that it will take part in mediation aimed at preventing a strike involving union paramedics and EMTs.
Recently, the labor union authorized a 10-day strike notice if a contract agreement was not reached soon, but their contract expired last week.
Meanwhile, Rural/Metro has proposed a 30-day contract extension and has prepared a plan that they say will allow the company to continue to meet the emergency services needs of Western New York.

Gulp. Right after Thanksgiving dinner at my house, I'm going to let all of the junior guests create gingerbread cottages.
I say "cottages" because I'm going to hot glue graham crackers together ahead of time, and if you've ever done it, it's easiest to keep the structure modest: four short walls and one roof. Besides, McMansions are so 2002.
I've got green, white, and chocolate frosting at the ready along with Dots, Twizzlers, mini candy canes, holiday M&M's, Skittles, Hershey Candy Kane Kisses, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, Peeps snowman, and Peeps Christmas trees.
Am I missing any items you've found successful in the construction/decoration of gingerbread houses?
I think I may need Tootsie Roll Midgees and cherry fruit rolls for campfires outside each cottage.
I plan on a follow-up blog post to show you the finished products, let you know which candies worked best for the build outs, and any interesting home decor/exterior items the kids dreamed up during construction.
In the meantime, please do send me any tips for creating killer gingerbread houses. I'm all ears!
(Speaking of tips, I recently came across the book No Bake Gingerbread Houses for Kids, which has some great examples of gingerbread houses constructed out of graham crackers, cookies, ice cream cones, and waffle bowls. Another good resource is Martha Stewart's photo gallery of no-bake gingerbread houses and cookie cottages.)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

We've been hearing about the fantastic-ness of Apple's iOS 6 for way too long, but at last it's on the street. For those who haven't already snapped it into your devices, it's time to get to it.
Download yours by going to Settings > General > Software Update, or head to iTunes and pull it in. If you have any trouble with the connection to Apple or the speed of the download, Apple is pleading for patience. Between iPhone 5 pre-orders and iOS 6 downloads, Apple's servers have been slammed.
Besides, the iOS 6 update is massive update. - clocking in at a hefty 2.5 GB. It may take some time to get an "over the air" upgrade.
Not all phone, tablet and iPod generations will be able to handle iOS 6. Older devices don't have all the features they need to operate on a full-blown iOS 6 version You've got to have an iPhone 3GS or newer, iPod Touch 4th generation or newer or an iPad 2.
TechCrunch put together a great summary of what device gets what features.
It's too bad that the iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5th gen are the only devices that are up to the challenge of a fully-loaded iOS 6. But it's also one more reason to get in line for your iPhone 5 today.

Creighton Moves Up Four to No. 8 in Final Regular-Season NSCAA Poll
OMAHA, Neb. (Nov. 13) - The Creighton men's soccer team jumped four spots, for the second straight week, to No. 8 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll on Tuesday, Nov. 13, after claiming its 13th Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) title last weekend.
Creighton is currently on a 10-match win streak. As a result, the Bluejays have jumped 14 spots in the poll over the past month. The No. 8 position marks Creighton's highest ranking since Sept. 18 when the Jays were listed at No. 7.
It marks the 36th consecutive week that Creighton is ranked in the NSCAA Top 25. The 2010 preseason poll was the last time the Jays were not ranked.
CU stands at No. 11 in the latest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) released by the NCAA on Sunday, Nov. 11. The Bluejays earned the No. 12 national seed a day later when the NCAA announced its selections Monday, Nov. 12.
Creighton claimed a first-round bye in the 48-team NCAA tournament and will host the winner of Thursday's Air Force at Washington match on Sunday at 5 p.m. at Morrison Stadium in Omaha.
This week the Jays held onto the top spot of the NSCAA Midwest Regional Rankings for a second straight week. Creighton moved up six spots to No. 8 in the TopDrawer Soccer rankings this week. The Bluejays moved up four spots to No. 10 in the latest College Soccer News poll.
The Soccer Times poll was unavailable at press time; last week Creighton stood at No. 11 in those rankings for a second straight week. The Soccer America Men's Top 25 was also unavailable at press time; the Jays were No. 13 in last week's rankings.
Entering the first week of the NCAA Tournament, Creighton ranks No. 8 nationally with a 0.50 shutout percentage (10-of-20 matches). The Jays also rank No. 15 in the country in save percentage (0.835) and stand at No. 16 nationally for team goals against average (0.77).
Creighton (15-3-2) earned its 20th NCAA Tournament appearance in the last 21 years by virtue of Sunday's 2-1 win over SIU Edwardsville in the MVC Tournament final. It marked Creighton's 13th MVC Tournament title, and came on the heels of the program's 12th regular-season MVC crown. The Jays claimed both trophies for the second consecutive season and for the eighth time in program history.
The Bluejays will host the winner of Thursday's Air Force (10-8-4) at Washington (12-4-3) matchup on Sunday at 5 p.m. inside Morrison Stadium.

Kiefer Sutherland Gossip
Kiefer Sutherland gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Boy Sh-t: Freddie vs Kiefer edition
Frazer Harrison/ Anthony Harvey/ Getty
Who knew July was "minor celebrity publicly call out a major celebrity" month? First, Tia Mowry talked about Charlize Theron's epic eye-roll at SoulCycle and now Freddie Prinze Jr. has blasted Kiefer Sutherland. Kiefer – he's kind of a loveable rogue, isn't he? Jilted fiancé of Julia Roberts, Christmas tree assaulter, grandson of universal health care pioneer Tommy Douglas, head-butter of designers, convict. Full Story
The older Sutherland gets snow
Last October, I posted this article with my nomination for President Snow in the film adaptation of The Hunger Games, Kiefer Sutherland. Today Lionsgate announced that it was indeed a Sutherland who has been cast as the evil autocrat of Panem but... Full Story
WHO's JULIA???
It's almost the one year anniversary of WHO's NATALIE??? It was, no doubt, the best part of the Golden Globe pre-show during our liveblog in 2010. Hoping for more of that magic this time around. And now for a little Gossip Nostalgia. Remember when Julia was engaged to Kiefer Sutherland and pretty much left him at the altar? Remember when Julia took off on Kiefer three days before her wedding for Jason Patric? She was great drama then, wasn't she? She was the best for drama then. Full Story
President Snow?
Many of your questions during our liveblog discussions on Tuesdays and Thursdays and your emails too involve casting for The Hunger Games series. Right now, no one has been confirmed. And from what I heard, as of early this week, there's not even a shortlist. So they are seeing everyone. And everyone wants it. Full Story
Kiefer's Canadian Tuxedo
It's one thing when your costume designer puts you in one for a movie, it's another to voluntarily walk around New York not on the job proudly showing your Maple Leaf steeze. Total pimp. And a crazy motherf-cker. Also attaching more pictures of Kiefer Sutherland at lunch with a glass of wine. Full Story
MET Best: Chloe Sevigny
The dress. For the person. It's exquisite. Yes she needs darker lipstick, but it's a very small detail in so much that was spectacularly right. And again bitches, we're not dressing YOU. We're dressing Chloe Sevigny at the Met Gala in Proenza Schouler with some cheeky Mormon hair, and a high collar, and green see through lace with an exposed bra, the most beautiful back, and weird chunky funk shoes. Full Story
Emmy NPH
Please. He was flawless. His white mic clip during the opening number was amazingness. So f-ck you Kiefer Sutherland. Did you see Kiefer's bitchface after Neil Patrick Harris's performance? Oh hi, I'm Kiefer Sutherland. I like to punch people when I drink because I'm a crusty prick, and suddenly I have the right to judge a song and dance number and deem it unworthy. Full Story
Fence sitting Brooke
Last week, after Kiefer Sutherland decided to smash his head up against another dude's face causing injury – in defence of Brooke Shields – a statement was released on her behalf that effectively sold him out. At the time, she supposedly announced via her publicists that she'd no idea why Kiefer would have reacted that way and that Jack McCollough, the victim of the headbutt, did nothing wrong. Full Story
Kiefer did this
His name is Jack McCollough, one of the designers of Proenza Schouler. As you can see, he has a cut on his nose. He received the cut courtesy of Kiefer Sutherland's head. After the Met Gala on Monday night, Kiefer was at a party talking to Brooke Shields. He claims McCollough bumped into Brooke and demanded an apology. Full Story
Witherspoon shoe porn
The ones today, in Berlin, with the yellow soles. Love. Reese Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland are promoting Monsters vs Aliens in Germany. Yesterday she wore a green shiny dress. That material! Lumpy, see??? Anyway, have received many emails today about her breasts. They're bigger? This means she's pregnant? Oh lawd. Full Story
Rather ironic, don"t you think? Kiefer Sutherland plead no contest to DUI yesterday and will reportedly be sentenced to 48 days for drinking, then getting behind the wheel of a car and attempting to kill people…not once, BUT TWICE. Kiefer was previously charged in 2004 and was on probation last month when arrested again for the same offence. Full Story
And So It Should Be
Driving drunk repeatedly? Yes please do charge him. Kiefer Sutherland is officially facing two misdemeanour counts of DUI and could be looking at 18 months in prison which of course is why he's hired high powered attorney Blair Berk. Seems like all Berk clients get to walk, although word is Kiefer will be appearing before the same judge who tore Paris Hilton a new asshole. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I am officially obsessed with Gossip Girl. Surprisingly SO much better than the books which are actually kinda sh-t.
The show however is sublime. Perfectly cast with one irritating love him/hate him stand-out in particular: the boy who plays Chuck Bass. Something about the way he speaks – that sneer, how he doesn't move his lips while he's moving his lips – very Ryan Phillippe circa Cruel Intentions. Back when Ryan Phillippe actually mattered.
Sinfully enjoyable and definitely worth checking out – at least before it gets cancelled. Good shows always do.
My love and gratitude for all your well wishes – thank you, love you, owe you. And a few new giveaways to prove to prove it.
Yours in gossip,
PS. Never take your birthday off…but always take the day AFTER off. To recover!
PPS. Hit 'em with the same stick: with his driving record, why is Kiefer Sutherland still allowed to drive??? Why is Britney Spears still allowed to drive???
Dear Gossips,
Another celebrity drunk driver. This time not a Hollywood skank twat but Kiefer Sutherland – no stranger to a little bit of drama and also, rumour has it, rather fond of his hooch. DUI, twice the legal limit, and arrested after pulling an illegal u-turn. This is his 2nd strike.
Is he above the law?
And do you kinda love how Charlie Sheen is publicly tearing Denise Richards a new asshole? More on that later.
Am headed home to Vancouver today. It's a 5 hour round trip so only blogging in the morning. Tomorrow is 34. Am old.
Yours in gossip,
PS. A very Potter birthday to Marsi – Snape Forever! And to Shannon celebrating her stagette this weekend in Chicago before becoming a navy wife in January – a hot man in uniform AND moving to Italy? Love you but hate you a little too

Product Details
BMW Z3 Convertible / Coupe E36 1999-2002, Custom Premium™ Folding Auto Shade by Intro-Tech®. This unique custom-fit thermal shade provides protection against heat and UV rays at the same time. Two 7-layer re-enforced panels to keep the sun shade up-right at any time. Comes with its own drawstring storage bag.
- Two 7-layer re-enforced panels
- The multi-layered construction reduces the inside temperature by as much as 40 degrees Fahrenheit
- Protects interior from heat and UV damage, keeps steering wheel and shift knob comfortable to the touch
- Installs in seconds and comes with its own drawstring storage bag
- Finished with a non-abrasive velour binding
- Lifetime warranty
Don't let UV rays and extreme heat degrade your vinyl dashboard and interior. And that goes double if you have leather seats; the damaging effect of solar radiation is two-fold: the UV radiation will attack the plastic and leather directly. Solar heating can raise the interior temperature of a parked vehicle to nearly 180°, hot enough to burn your hands on the metal seatbelt buckle or steering wheel. Needless to say, that kind of heat can't be good for soft vinyl or leather. It will bake the volatile plasticizers and oils right out of them. They will turn hard, and eventually crack.
Most cars have tinted windows, and you can add tinting to the side and back windows, but federal law (and common sense, we hope) prohibits the windshield from being tinted enough to really keep out the sun. The best way, if you can't park inside all day every day, is a shade to reflect the UV back and to insulate from the heat. The Custom Auto Shade starts with a highly reflective layer of aluminized Mylar, which can reflect both short-wave ultra-violet and long-wave infrared radiation. The multi-layer material will then supply additional insulation to keep heat from infiltrating the interior. The Intro-Tech Automotive Custom Auto Shade is available in a custom-fit for your vehicle there are 2,600 patterns in their computer-based cutting machine.
You can expect the temperature of your interior to remain as much as 40°F cooler when the Custom Auto Shade is used. It takes only a few seconds to unroll the Custom Auto Shade and install it on the dash, and just as long to roll it up for stowage.39.95Brand: Intro-Tech Automotive Part Number: BM-21-P This part is compatible with 7 vehicle(s)
Intro-Tech is based in sunny Southern California, and has been in business since 1991. Their product line includes floor mats, car covers, car sunshades, winter windscreen shields and the innovative PitStop Furniture line of race-inspired furniture.

Running the oldest established restaurant in the city, the Dephtereos family for decades has leased the storefront space at 85-87 Public Square that is home to the Crystal.
The family will continue to rent the 1,700 square feet of space for the iconic restaurant, although a new landlord has emerged as the owner of the nearly century-old building.
Landlord Ricky E. Frazier has purchased the building from a Babylon corporation, 85-87 Public Square Properties LLC, for $125,000, according to the Jefferson County clerks office. The property is assessed for $88,500.
But Peter J. Dephtereos, a third-generation restaurateur and current co-owner of the Crystal, said Sunday that his customers can continue to rely on the Crystals meatloaf lunch special, the inexpensive dinner menu, the Tom and Jerry rum-and-brandy concoction and its aged wooden booths.
He expects the Crystal will stay at its present location. As of today, business as usual, Mr. Dephtereos said.
The Dephtereos family had hoped to buy the building from its former owner, but a proposed deal was never consummated, Mr. Dephtereos said. Sources in City Hall said the former owner had upped the price at the last minute; Mr. Dephtereos declined to comment.
The former owner, whose personal identity was not included in city assessor or state Department of State records, could not be reached for comment. However, the Department of State documents revealed the same owner recently sold the adjacent Lincoln Building at 89-99 Public Square to local businessman Brian H. Murray for $500,000.
Mr. Frazier, who could not be reached for comment despite numerous attempts over the weekend, came into the restaurant on New Years Eve and told Mr. Dephtereos that he had just purchased the building.
Thats the only contact Ive ever had with him, Mr. Dephtereos said, noting that they have not had a chance to discuss a lease arrangement.
City officials expressed surprise to hear that Mr. Frazier, who owns several other properties in the city, has acquired the building. Last May, an apartment building he owned at 239 High St. was destroyed in a fire set by an arsonist. The building was demolished.
Mr. Frazier owns 20 other units of rental property as well as a building that houses an auto repair shop at 413 Factory St. and a small vacant lot at 140 Rear High St.
Mr. Dephtereos and his wife, Libby S., co-own and manage the restaurant that his father, Joseph F., and uncle Leo Dephtereos had run for years. Joseph Dephtereos also owns a three-story building on the other side of the Crystal at 81 Public Square. It is assessed for $70,900.
Last year, the family worked with Neighbors of Watertown to the restore the facade and complete other improvements at the vacant structure. The family has plans to develop that building, but Peter Dephtereos would not disclose them Sunday night.
Were working on some ideas, he said.

"Respect for intellectual labor and creativity is vital to academic discourse and enterprise. This principle applies to works of all authors and publishers in all media. It encompasses respect for the right to acknowledgment, the right to privacy, and the right to determine the form, manner, and terms of publication and distribution. Because electronic information is volatile and easily reproduced, respect for the work and personal expression of others is especially critical in computer environments. Violations of authorial integrity, including plagiarism, invasion of privacy, unauthorized access, and trade secret and copyright violations, may be grounds for sanctions against members of the academic community." The EDUCOM Code.
.020 Background and Purpose
This document constitutes a university-wide policy for the appropriate use of all KSU computing and network resources. It is intended to provide effective protection of individual users, equitable access, and proper management of those resources. These guidelines are intended to supplement, not replace, all existing laws, regulations, agreements, and contracts which currently apply to those resources.
Access to KSU networks and computer systems is granted subject to University policies and local, state, and federal laws. Appropriate use should always be legal and ethical, reflect academic honesty and community standards, and show restraint in the consumption of shared resources.

Images with multiple states
Component images can be of any dimension; however, each component image within these images must have the same height and width. To determine the correct dimensions of each image, the Plazmic® Theme Builder takes the dimensions of the composite image and divides the width by the number of images per row, and the height by the number of rows. For example, the composite image for the wireless coverage indicator is made up of a single row of nine component images. Therefore, if the composite image is 10x180 pixels, then the size of each component image is 10x20 pixels.

Why's everyone buzzin' about Shwayze? This is your chance to find out...
Malibu, Calif., is best known for its beautiful beaches and being a favorite frolicking spot for superstars like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston. But amid the pristine sand and multimillion-dollar mansions is a single, solitary trailer park. This is where rising hip-hop star Shwayze grew up.
OK, so it's a step up from living on Detroit's 8 Mile Road, but it's a trailer park nonetheless. And the musically inclined Shwayze spent his downtrodden days dreaming of busting out of its confines in search of a better life -- and maybe even one of those huge houses that loomed all around him. Well, his shot at fame has finally come...
With the help of seasoned songwriter/music producer and regular tabloid fixture Cisco Adler, Shwayze landed a record deal with Suretone Records and saw his first single, "Buzzin'," take off. And MTV was on hand to watch it all unfold.
The aptly titled reality series Buzzin' chronicles Shwayze's comical misadventures as he tries to navigate his way through the music industry and make a name for himself with Cisco by his side. Struggling to keep them in check are Suretone Records head honcho Jordan Schur (who made artists like Ashlee Simpson and Limp Bizkit household names), assistant David Patton, tour manager Warren and new-media guru Cat Lake. Together, the wild bunch embarks on a long, winding road to reach the top of the charts.
Shwayze dreamed of embarking on a big-time music career all his life, but when things take off like a cruise missile, all he can do is hang on tight and enjoy the wild ride. Meanwhile, Shwayze's best friend and musical mentor, Cisco Adler, who has been under the glare of the spotlight before, tries to keep Shwayze from falling into the standard pitfalls of fame. But, at the end of the day, Cisco's a rocker at heart, and that means he doesn't let his own sage advice get in the way of having a good time.
As Shwayze and Cisco Adler ride the wave of success with "Buzzin'" and embark on a journey of a lifetime, there'll be plenty of candid moments, crazy parties and hilarious hijinks. From video shoots and live performances to beautiful girls and fridges full of beer, the dynamic duo will encounter it all.
And now you know what everyone's buzzin' about!

HEUVELTON – A village-wide Labor Day celebration may take place this year although the Heuvelton Labor Day Committee disbanded last month.
Mayor Barbara A. Lashua is organizing a planning meeting on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Oswegatchie Town Hall to discuss the future of the event.
Mrs. Lashua said she hopes to get active residents and community organizations together to discuss picking up where the Heuvelton Labor Day Committee left off.
What Im looking for, at least for this year, is to try to maintain the parade and the fireworks, Mrs. Lashua said. Anything else would be icing on the cake.
The Heuvelton Labor Day Committee has orchestrated the villages Labor Day celebrations for the past 16 years but recently had to disband due to the ill health of its leadership, according to Shirley A. Todd, a committee member.
The weekend full of events, which typically costs between $8,000 and $10,000, Mrs. Todd said, has included a walk/run, games for children, an auction, dancing and plentiful food concessions, in addition to a parade and fireworks.
Mrs. Lashua said the parade typically draws a large crowd. Its marvelous to see people lining both sides of Main Street, she said.
Mrs. Todd estimated that 5,000 people attended last years celebrations.
We certainly appreciate all that theyve done for all these years, Mrs. Lashua said of the Labor Day Committee. It was a lot of awfully hard work for a small group of people.
Plans to continue the tradition are still very preliminary, Mrs. Lashua said. We understand that it took years for the former group to get this down pat.
She said she hopes the community can rally to save the tradition.
Im really hoping to get lots of representation at the meeting from the groups that make the village a busy place, Mrs. Lashua said.

Advanced Search
The Applied Physics Concentration is designed to expand the scope of the Ph.D. Program in Physics to encompass an option in Radiological Sciences. It is intended to develop advanced professional and academic competence in practical, applied, technological health physics and medical physics and to provide professional training for students whose previous specialization need not necessarily have been in the field of physics, but could have involved engineering, other science, or mathematical disciplines. This program is particularly well suited for those seeking to pursue careers in research, education or public service.
For physics majors, the acquisition of the doctoral degree would normally require about four years beyond the bachelor's degree, or a minimum of two years beyond the master's degree; for non-physics majors, an additional year of study would customarily be entailed.
Graduate Credits
At least 60 graduate credit hours are required, of which at least 15 and at most 24 are to be Ph.D. Dissertation Research. At most 3 credits of Physics Colloquium and seminar courses may be applied to the 60 credit requirement.
Colloquia and Seminars
Attendance at departmental colloquia, 95-701/702, and seminar in Radiological Sciences, 98-711/712, each carrying l credit per semester, is obligatory in each semester of graduate enrollment.
Computer Skills
All candidates are required to demonstrate proficiency in computer programming, which may be accomplished by passing the Departmental computer language exam or by achieving a grade of at least B in a high level programming language, or by demonstrating equivalent competence to the Physics Department.
Language Requirement
There is no foreign language requirement.
Comprehensive Examination
All candidates must pass a written and oral Physics Comprehensive Examination. The examination covers I. Classical mechanics, II. Electricity and magnetism, and III. Radiological sciences. In addition Part I includes some elementary thermo-dynamics and Part II elementary optics. Part III is based on the advanced undergraduate course requirements in Radiological Health Physics.
Graduate Research Admission Examination
Before commencing Ph.D. dissertation research each doctoral candidate must pass two semesters of Advanced Projects in Physics 96.731/732 and defend this project in an oral examination before a committee of the Physics graduate faculty. Students who have already completed a master's thesis in Physics or a related discipline may apply for a waiver of the Advanced Projects requirement. However, if the M.S. degree is from another institution the student must make an oral presentation of the M.S. work before a committee of the Physics Faculty to satisfy the Graduate Research Admission Examination requirement. Alternatively, a one-semester M.S. project may be substituted for one semester of Advanced Project on the recommendation of the student's research supervisor. The Graduate Research Admission Examination must be passed before a student may submit a Ph.D. dissertation proposal.
The dissertation is to be based upon original research performed under the supervision of a member or adjunct member of the Physics Faculty (or the Faculty of a Department participating in a joint program with the Physics Department) holding an earned doctoral degree. If a student wishes to do a dissertation under the supervision of a faculty member in another department, the student must also have a co-supervisor who is a member of the Physics Faculty. Ph.D. candidates must submit to the Department, for its approval, eleven copies of a typewritten proposal briefly describing the research to be carried out. The proposal must bear the written approval of the research supervisor. A student may not register for Ph.D. Dissertation Research until the Comprehensive Examination and the Graduate Research Admission Examination have been passed. Furthermore, the dissertation proposal must be submitted prior to or during the first semester in which the student is registered for Ph.D. dissertation research. Students registered for Ph.D. Thesis must submit a brief progress report on the research to the Graduate Coordinator each semester unless a thesis is submitted. After completing the work, the student must submit four copies of a typewritten dissertation to the Department. The student then must pass an oral examination, administered by a Dissertation Committee appointed by the Physics Graduate Coordinator, based on, but not necessarily limited to, the dissertation work.
Course Requirements
95.513 Classical Mechanics (4-0)4
95.553/554 Electromagnetism I,II (3-0)(3-0)6
95.535/536 Intro Quantum Mechanics I/II (3-0) (3-0)6
95.605/606 Mathematical Methods of Physics I,II (4-0)(4-0)8
95.561/662 Nuclear Physics I,II (3-0)(3-0)6
Plus, at least twelve credits from among the following graduate level Radiological Sciences courses, assuming the core courses for the Master of Science Degree in Radiological Sciences and Protection have already been completed.
98.514 Advanced External Radiation Dosimetry (3-0) 3
98.516 Advanced Internal Radiation Dosimetry (3-0) 3

(NBCNC) - Imagine if you had an alternate personality that showed itself every night, that you had no control over.
That's the basis for a new drama premiering on NBC called "Do No Harm".
Neurosurgeon Jason Cole is forced to cope with is his volatile alternate personality, "Ian Price" who shows up every night at 8:25.
"As a doctor, he's only awake 12 hours a day. He's constantly, cleaning up Ian's mess, and trying to get through his day at the hospital," explains "Do No Harm" star Steve Pasquale.
All of this is because medication to suppress Cole's dark side no longer works.
The battle between the two begins Thursday night.
