Not sure what other reason someone would get or not get boots when everyone says get what fits best, so I am not sure why you say the Nike's suck.
Its hard to try on a ton of boots when I am shelling out $200+ per pair to order, wait for shipping, try on, return, get my credit back. That's alot of money to be tied up on my credit card that I would prefer not to have if I could just order some boots that tend to have a better fit for certain type of foot which is what I did. I mean if dogfunk wanted to send me 15 pairs of boots fine, but I'd prefer not to have $3k tied up on my card just to do that.
Dogfunk is free 2-day shipping. Unless you have bad credit, your credit card limit should easily handle another couple of pair of boot. You are aware that you can do partial returns (return all the boots except the Nikes and order some more - then in ship all but the best fitting boot back in the second wave). Seriously driving to the three stores that it would take to do the same thing would take more time.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The dollar marked a new record low against the euro Wednesday amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut U.S. interest rates next week and fears that the credit crunch is threatening the health of the U.S. economy.
The euro was up 0.5% against the greenback, at $1.3904, after earlier touching $1.3913 -- its highest level since the European currency was launched in January 1999.
The dollar has been in decline in recent weeks amid a growing consensus that the central bank will cut its key federal funds rate, after the collapse of the subprime- mortgage market sent shockwaves through global credit markets.
The debate is now centered on whether the Fed will chop a quarter-point or a half-point off the 5.25% fed funds rate at its next policy meeting Sept 18. Lower interest rates would erode returns of dollar-denominated assets, though a cut would likely cheer investors hoping for a policy response to tight credit conditions and could therefore support U.S. stock markets.
"[W]e have high confidence for a 25 basis-point ease next week and see the market finding some equilibrium for that likelihood and in the void of new information from now until then," wrote David Ader, U.S. Government Bond Strategist at RBS Greenwich Capital.
Against this backdrop, the European Central Bank has continued its hawkish commentary. The central bank held interest rates steady at a meeting earlier in September, but Jean-Claude Trichet, the ECB's president, has continued to emphasize anchoring inflationary expectations and said that rate policy was still "accommodative." See archived story.
The ECB, which sets interest rates for the 13 eurozone countries, has raised its benchmark rate eight times since late 2005, to 4%.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson kept credit fallout fears on investors' radar Wednesday, which weighed on the dollar in U.S. trading.
Before meeting with mortgage-servicing companies, Paulson reiterated reassurance that the U.S. economy remains strong, but said that the subprime housing woes and ongoing crunch in the financial markets "will take some time to work its way out." See full story.
And a new record in crude-oil futures raised fresh fears about the economic impact of higher energy costs.
October crude rose as high as $80 a barrel after U.S. government data showed that crude supplies dropped more than 7 million barrels and motor gasoline inventories fell for the sixth week in a row. See Futures Movers.
Using other liquidity tools
The trade-weighted dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was down 0.4% at 79.38.
The dollar index's currency basket includes the Japanese yen, the euro, the British pound sterling, the Australian and Canadian dollars, the Swedish krona and the Swiss franc. The index has been bumping down to 15-year lows since Friday, after surprisingly downbeat payroll data raised fears that the credit crunch had begun to take its toll on the broader U.S. economy.
Michael Gregory, senior economist at BMO Nesbitt, said he expects the greenback to push to more record lows in the coming weeks, with "the only caveat that in the event we get more of a global ripple effect [from the credit crisis], not just on financial markets but on the global economy as well, then we could see some flight-to-quality support for the greenback."
Like the ECB, the Bank of England has also taken a cautionary stance in the face of the credit problems that have swept global markets in recent weeks. Governor Mervyn King reportedly reiterated Wednesday that the credit crunch would not pose any long-term economic problems if handled correctly.
"The BoE governor is basically calling anybody who's calling for lower rates a wimp," said Gregory, who noted a "symmetry of policy with the ECB and BoE saying, 'Listen, we will tinker with liquidity as much as we possibly can, but we're not changing rates soon.'"

Dr. Bruce S. Eich's Ratings
Dr. Eich was one of very few doctors that seemed concerned about my onset of double vision. He referred me to the eye foundation and contacted my neurologist immediately. I would recommend him to anyone. He is very professional.

Sometimes Dr.Eich is a little short on bedside manner, or perhaps I should say slightly impatient. He is very knowledgeable. The only complaint I have is that the parking is not very close and there is a very long walk from the front of the Professional Office building(BMC Princeton) to where the elevators are located at the rear of the building. However, there are golf-type carts available to carry patients from the parking lot and also attendents with wheel chairs are provided.

Stampin' up for miracle babies
POSTED: Monday, May 25, 2009
Lara Bellini went into labor three months earlier than expected. She was transported via air ambulance from her Maui home to Kapiolani Medical Center. And, although doctors managed to stop her contractions for one week, her son Chance Keali'i Salvatore Schoeppner was born when she was in her 25th week of pregnancy, and weighed a mere pound and 9 ounces.
» What: Scrap Camp for a Cause
» When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday
» Where: Kakaako Conference Rooms, Ward Warehouse
» Cost: $65; proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Honolulu. Admission includes an 8 1/2-square scrapbook ( below, pages shown top right), SNAIL adhesive, demonstration of new products and techniques, silent auction, sale of retired stamp sets, a card contest, lunch and more.
» Call: 590-8051
Chance needed to be resuscitated after the birth and was later put on breathing tubes. "For the most part, he has been breathing on his own. It's pretty remarkable for someone so tiny," Bellini said. "It was like we were watching a movie of someone else's life. It's so surreal."
Her husband, Darrett Schoeppner, worried about Lara's recovery and Chance's lengthy hospital stay in the intensive-care unit. "Being off island, I was wondering where we were going to stay once she was discharged."
Fortunately, they found a "home away from home" at the Ronald McDonald House, where they will remain until mid-July, all going well.
"They offer support and provide anything we need," Bellini said. "This is not something we could have prepared for or planned.
"We are surrounded by families that are going through the same thing. They may not have a premature baby, but they have a sick child. They are all concerned parents," Schoeppner said. "We can sit around and converse about what we are going through."
To help the Ronald McDonald House Charities continue its mission of serving families with ailing children, the Pacific Stampers group will host the inaugural "Scrap Camp for a Cause" at Ward Warehouse on Sunday, with the help of Stampin' Up!
In 2003 the Stampin' Up! company launched its Making a Difference campaign to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities. Each year, the company donates $100,000 to the charity, in addition to a portion of the proceeds from the sale of an exclusive stamp set designed to promote the partnership. The company's demonstrators are also encouraged to volunteer their time teaching RMHC guests the art of rubber stamping.
BELLINI AND Schoeppner said the amenities at the house allow them to function more normally than other accommodations might.
"The activities really help to keep our mind off things. And, the little kids staying in the house brighten our day," said Bellini.
"The Ronald McDonald House offers that one room where you can get away from the intensity of the ICU. It offers sanity to some degree," Schoeppner said.
Chance, now a month old and weighing in at 2 pounds, 5 ounces, has already survived a few major obstacles. He didn't experience bleeding in the brain, his lungs were OK and the vessel leading to his heart closed after three doses of ibuprofen, which meant surgery was not necessary.
"We don't get too excited about anything, though," Bellini explained. "He still needs to overcome lots of things—we live day to day."
"Our problems seem small compared to what he is going through," Schoeppner said. When Lara starts feeling down about her situation, she also looks at what her son is dealing with. "He's pretty much helpless."
One of the most daunting aspects of Chance's premature status is the family was allowed no physical contact with their son for three weeks. The couple can now hold him for short intervals of time.
There have been other rewards.
"It's been a cultural learning experience for me," Schoeppner said. "People staying here are from Guam, Samoa, Tonga and Saipan. We get to try their food and learn new things. They always have lots of goodies, and the pantry is full of food.
Bellini added, "If we were isolated somewhere else, things would have been so intense."

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) - Crews are building containment lines around a wind-driven wildfire that has scorched more than 2 square miles of dry brush and forced people to evacuate part of a Southern California military base.
The blaze at the Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton is 15 percent contained and a spokesman says firefighters are trying to halt its movement toward the northeast.
The fire broke out Saturday amid hot, dry and windy conditions throughout the region. It prompted the evacuation of 230 residents from a housing unit near Lake O'Neil and caused minor damage to four buildings. Most residents are now being allowed to return home.
Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton was not threatened by the fire, but a power outage prompted officials to evacuate about 30 patients to other hospitals in the area.
More than 200 firefighters are at the scene. The fire's cause is under investigation.
About 40 miles to the north, crews are battling a fire sparked in a mulch pile at a nursery near Santiago Canyon in Orange County.

PAWTUCKET — Michael P. Davolio, the city's new Planning Director, has traded in the peaceful views of the Olympic Mountains and the Puget Sound for a more industrialized urban landscape that surrounds the Blackstone River. Yet for the Shrewsbury, Mass., native, taking a job in Pawtucket provides a homecoming as well as a challenge that he says he's excited to be taking on.
Davolio arrived this week from his home in Olympia, Wash., and has been busy settling in to his new downtown office in the city's Planning Department on the third floor of the Chester Building at 175 Main St. He assumes the post that was held by longtime city employee Michael Cassidy, who retired last June after 40 years in planning.
Davolio has spent the last 20 years working in various planning positions in and around the capital of Washington. He was previously a project manager for a private company constructing a $300 million mixed use "city center" development in an Olympia suburb. He also served as Planning, Building and Community Development Director for the city of Auburn, Washington.
His resume also includes a recent stint in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emerites, where he worked as planning manager for a company building new communities in the prosperous and growing region.
Yet Davolio has solid New England roots. After graduating from Worcester State University in 1979, he worked as a city planner in Worcester, served as planning director for Leominster and was a town administrator in Orange, Mass.
"There are many who have told me they are happy to have someone from far away to bring new ideas and also happy that I grew up here and know the region's history," said Davolio.
The new planner said he sees the "great potential" of Pawtucket, because of its position on the Blackstone River, proximity to I-95 and the new rail station that is in the works in the Barton Street area. "I'm really looking forward to working on the rail station project and that will be one of my priorities," he said. "This is one of the best ways to make a community thrive."
When asked about finding re-uses for Pawtucket's large inventory of old mills, Davolio said he has experience with old mills in Massachusetts and Maine, and thinks many still have potential with the right developer and tenants. He also sees potential in the downtown, but concedes it's "a chicken and egg kind of thing."
Davolio said, "For a downtown to be successful, you need people to be here after 5 p.m. Businesses bring in people in the daytime, but then they leave. You really need the housing to have people here at night."
Davolio said that while critics might say Pawtucket's turn-around has been slow, an undertaking as ambitious as trying to transform a city needs to be looked at in terms of decades, not just years. He noted that the efforts to revive Pawtucket by positioning the city as an arts community has only been going on for about 10 years. "Wait another 10 or 20 years to judge the success of this," he said.
The city having the historic Slater Mill museum and the surrounding property being tapped as a future national park site along the Blackstone River corridor also excites Davolio. He noted that Lowell, Massachusetts, another old industrial city like Pawtucket that is filled with mills, has a downtown area that was designated as a National Park more than 30 years ago. "It took awhile, but eventually, it became a success. Today, it is known as an urban national park," he said.
Davolio said he was impressed by many of the city officials and business leaders he has met so far, as well as the city administration, and particularly Mayor Donald Grebien. "I'm very much looking forward to working with the mayor. He's young, energetic, and has the interests of the city at heart," Davolio said.
Davolio, who is an avid photographer, also said he liked the city's annual calendar with its schedule of municipal meetings and events like the PawSox games, and the way it gets members of the community involved through a related photo contest. "These are the positive things," he stated.
Davolio said his wife, who works as a teacher, will be joining him once her school year is over. The couple has two grown children, a son who lives in Washington and a daughter who is attending Emerson College in Boston. He cited the proximity to Boston and his daughter as another plus in taking the Pawtucket position. "I'm just happy to be here," he said.

The ballfield at Overlook Park in White Rock was the scene of a bizarre event Saturday afternoon. A massive dust devil whipped across Field 3 at about 4 p.m. and, according to eyewitnesses, picked up the entire dugout at ballfield 2 and dropped it on top of two vehicles parked nearby between fields two and three.The 2003 Ford Ranger and 1997 Ford Expedition belonged to Henry Flores of Los Alamos and his son. They were practicing with a ball team in Field 1, he said. "I've never seen anything like it," Flores said. "The dugout weighed about 1,500 pounds. Eight grown men couldn't budge it. We had to more or less prop it up and drive the cars out from under it."The police were called to the scene. Sgt. Jason Wardlow stated in his report that he arrived at Field 2 at about 4:50 p.m. and saw the vehicles with what appeared to be "the roof and rear wall of the wooden dugout structure resting on top of each vehicle's hood." Eleven adults and two children advised him that they heard a gust of wind and saw the dugout land on the vehicles, he said."Each vehicle received damage to the hood and fender areas," Wardlow said. Los Alamos County owns the park so Flores submitted his and his son's estimates to the county in the hopes that the damage done to the vehicles will be covered.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE — More students in Gwinnett and across the state took the ACT college entrance exam this year, and Gwinnett scores were slightly better than last year, according to data released on Wednesday.
The gap between the Georgia composite score and the national average narrowed to 0.2 percentage points, as the Georgia average was 20.7, the same as last year, and the national composite dropped from 21.1 to 20.9. In Gwinnett, the composite score rose to 22.0 from 21.9, as 4,369 students took the test, 178 more than last year.
"I am proud to see our students' scores gain ground on the national average on this important test," State School Superintendent John Barge said in a press release. "But we know there is much work to be done to ensure that every student is ready for college or a career when they graduate high school. We are headed in the right direction."
The ACT is designed to measure college readiness and preparation. It is four separate exams in English, reading, mathematics and science and an optional writing portion. The exam is scored on a scale from zero to 36.
This year, Georgia students scored better on the English (+0.1) and reading (+0.2) portions of the exam, while the math score dipped by 0.3 of a percentage point. The science score remained the same.
In Gwinnett, scores were higher in English, reading and science, but math dropped from 22.6 to 22.4. Reading scores showed the most improvement, from 21.8 to 22.1.
The Georgia ACT score is up from 2011 when students saw a composite of 20.6, state Department of Education spokesman Matt Cardoza said. Since then, the number of students taking the test has increased by more than 5,500. Generally, scores on such tests decline when the pool of test takers increases. More than half of Georgia's high school students – 51 percent, or 48,505 students — took the ACT in the spring, up from 47,169 last year, Cardoza said.
African-American and Hispanic students in Georgia also outperformed the nation on the ACT. The composite score for African-American students was 17.5, while the national average was 16.9. For Hispanic students, the Georgia composite score was 19.9, compared to the nation's 18.8. White students in Georgia had an average composite score of 22.8, while the national average was 22.2.
Georgia high school graduates were also measured in college and career readiness benchmarks. Cardoza said 23 percent of Georgia graduates demonstrated college and career readiness, compared with 26 percent across the country. By subject area, Georgia graduates were 64 percent ready in English, 38 percent in math, 33 percent in science and 43 percent in reading.
The ACT College Readiness Benchmarks are based on the grades earned by students actively enrolled in college and help to define a high school student's ACT performance relative to these benchmarks.

"African-American and Hispanic students in Georgia also outperformed the nation on the ACT. The composite score for African-American students was 17.5, while the national average was 16.9. For Hispanic students, the Georgia composite score was 19.9, compared to the nation's 18.8. White students in Georgia had an average composite score of 22.8, while the national average was 22.2."
The ACT is curriculum based (what student has learned so far).
The SAT is aimed more at general reasoning and problem solving skills.
Do your research and take the one that best fits your test taking abilities. Attention span, gender, being an underachiever or overachiever - all should play a part into which test you take. Most college and universities will say they don't perfer one over the other, however each test does say alot about the kind of student you are and will be in college.

Very interesting show, Larry and Gov. I'm having problems updating my desktop PC at home, from Windows 8 Pro, to Windows 8.1 Pro. It just won't do it, and that's after 2 attempts. However, this show has made me think that maybe the issue is with some hard drivers I've got installed. One in particular, might be what's causing my problems, as it's to an old HP Laser printer, which I don't even have anymore (I think the driver is still installed). I'm going to try removing that driver and see if that helps.
Great Hallowe'en video again, Laura! And it's great to see you in there too, Mark. I look forward to these each year.
Here's to Tabasco belts, the ultimate deterrent (well, sort of, at least for a while).
This is very nice!
Good, as always. But I recall Laura saying once, on Ping, that she's a member of Mensa, so she's smart.
I hadn't see this video back in 2004, so it was very good to see it now. I found Bill Hill's comment about needing to focus upon the human using the computer, more than the computer itself, his "homo sapiens 1.0" comments, an epiphany. Very good!

Thank you, @BradL, that works perfectly!
I just started watching this series. Great series! I'm learning a lot, especially about things I didn't even know was there, like Perfmon. I've got a question about performance monitor. I have been able to find it on my Windows 7 box, but can't on my old XP box. Here at work we have a mixture of XP and Win7, so it would be great if I could run that on XP as well. Is it there?

Woobie Microfiber Towel, 6-Pack
Pamper your paint with the Woobie Microfiber Towel!
The Woobie Microfiber Towel will quickly become one of your most reached for microfiber towels. Not only because of the childhood memories that you associate with the woobie name, but because this towel is so soft it will not scratch or mar delicate finishes. Super soft single stage black paint? Not a problem for the Woobie Microfiber Towel! Wipe off wax and polish residue and buff to a high gloss with confidence!
We've all done it: polished our vehicle to perfection only to scratch the finish by using a low-quality microfiber towel. Put an end to that reoccurring mistake by keeping a handful of Woobie Microfiber Towels on hand at all times.
This towel is so soft, so supple, and so friendly to all painted finishes that the woobie name was the obvious choice to describe its gentle nature.
The Woobie Microfiber Towel has a medium nap so it won't feel grabby when wiping off stubborn compound or polish residue. This medium nap also makes the Woobie Microfiber Towel perfect for the final buff. Use the Woobie Microfiber Towel with a high lubricity quick detail spray to remove light dust and fingerprints. The medium nap works to trap dust and dirt away from the finish so you won't introduce scratches or marring into the finish as you wipe.
What's more, the edgeless design ensures no part of the towel gets snagged on emblems!
Microfiber towel collectors will appreciate the Woobie Microfiber Towel because it does not lint! Pair the Woobie Microfiber Towel with a quality microfiber detergent and youll enjoy years of safe buffing and polishing.
Transform your fear of buffing and polishing black paint into a hobby while you enjoy the soft, plush nature of the Woobie Microfiber Towel!

Should have read the reviews first!

Poor at best. Towel seems to drag on any surface and lots of lint produced.
None that I can see. They will end up as a fancy shop rags.
Find another towel!

The softest towel ever
September 9, 2013
After purchasing 6 of these last year they soon became my favorite MF for that final wipe down after using V7 detail spray, and I have a garage full of MF towels accumulated over the years. I did order 6 more recently and there was an issue with quality, but with a call to AG customer service they replaced them with 6 new ones with no problem. Great product and great customer service.

Last purchase was junk
September 8, 2013
I purchased 6 of these towels last year and I liked them very much. I use them as a final wipe cloth after an initial wipe down of detail spray. Just purchased 6 more in a BOGO deal and these are junk. One edge on each towel looks like it was hand trimmed with kitchen shears. Ragged and material falling out as if they would shed forever. Definitely looks like a second. Even a different looking material than the first batch. Autogeek made me take digital photos and submit for review, but so far I haven't heard back. If they do not replace or refund my purchases from Autogeek will be over. Stay away from Woobies until they straighten them out.

Not impressed
August 25, 2013
Too soft with no backbone. Basically as soon as it gets wet, even with an instant detail spray, it sticks to the surface of the car. It won't wipe easily as the top of the towel slides but the part in contact with the car stays put. Terrible in my use. I won't buy any more. Also. It sheds. Horrible product

This was a huge hit at my cocktail party. I received a lot of requests for the recipe. Definetely a keeper.flag if inappropriate
I used cremini mushrooms, scallions in place of the shallots and romano cheese in place of parmesan. I had been warned by several people that they would take longer than anticipated, because stuffing the mushrooms is tedious, but I didn't have any problems at all. This was the only appetizer that was all gone at the end of the party!flag if inappropriate
The first time I made this i found it a little bland but had lots of potential. So I doubled the quantity of sun-dried tomatoes and added 1/4 tsp salt. I also reduced the quantity of oil to cook the stems by 1 Tbsp and added 1 Tbsp white wine. Hope it turns out as fantastic for everyone else as it did for me!flag if inappropriate
This was my first attempt at stuffed mushrooms, and I was surprised by how easy and tasty this recipe is. Even guests who aren't big mushroom fans liked these. The sundried tomatoes give them a really hearty, earthy flavor. I'd definitely make them again.flag if inappropriate
My guest loved this recipe. Try using fresh herbs of different kinds it keeps the dish interesting.flag if inappropriate
I doubled the sundried tomatoes and it was fabulous! All of the guests really enjoyed them!flag if inappropriate
These are delicious. I prefer to use fresh basil when I make these. About 1/4 cup fresh basil instead of the parsley. I've also added chopped pine nuts to the stuffing. And to avoid the cost of shallots, I use finely chopped onion and garlic. I've even used pesto in place of the basil. They always turn out great.flag if inappropriate
It was a little bland, a little too light. I think it needed some oil or perhaps more salt, couldn't decideflag if inappropriate

This bag is wonderful! I got this in Cocoa and it's the perfect dark brown color. It is a larger sized crossbody which is exactly what I was looking for. I always have a million things in my purse at all times and this fits them all with tons of room to spare. I was nervous about just having the inner zipper pocket and the one on the outside, but they are very deep and actually hold way more than I expected. I love The Sak bags because they are well made and don't fall apart even if you use them every day. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This is a nice small purse if you don't carry a lot. I bought it as a gift, and she loved it. For me it was too small because I carry everything including the kitchen sink in my purse! Nice pocket inside for cell phone. Great patterns available.

I like this wallet very much. The only drawback is the smell. I have used it for over a month now and it still has an odd odor. Everything else about the wallet is great, compact, functional, fun, and holds my phone with its case just great.

MASSENA - Now that the state budget has passed, local school officials have concrete numbers to plug into their 2014-15 budget proposals.
But, even with an increase over what Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had initially proposed, some school superintendents say they still have some work to do to balance their budgets.
We will obviously work these numbers into our report. Every little bit helps, said Massena Central School Interim Superintendent William H. Flynn, whose district was looking at a gap of approximately $4.4 million.
Massena will receive $28,535,719, which is $635,756 over the $27,899,963 Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo had proposed for the district.
Its a little over a 4 percent increase over the current year, Mr. Flynn said.
District officials have been using the governors number in their budget preparations until they receive a firm state aid figure.
This will help by a little over half a million as far as planning purposes. This brings (the gap) to under $4 (million). We still do have a significant gap, he said.
The districts Finance Committee is scheduled to meet at 5 p.m. Thursday, followed by a regular board of education session at 6:30 p.m., and Mr. Flynn said theyre still trying to close their gap between revenues and expenditures.
Were dealing with scenarios that the board had set up using amounts of fund balance to get to where we needed to be. We are still going through that exercise. Were optimistic that we can pull together from the report what the board wants, he said.
Although the district does have about $10 million in a restricted Employee Benefits Accrued Liability Reserve (EBALR) fund, which can only be accessed with the approval of the state comptrollers office, the district can only use $344,000 of that money, according to Mr. Flynn.
We had planned to use around $630,000 in the fund balance account. Were not able to use as much from that particular reserve, he said.
He said theyve been meeting with administrators and directors to talk about how to close the gap.
We worked on various scenarios using different amounts of fund balance. Were probably going to present most of that, if not all of that, information on Thursday night and well go from there. Im not sure what the boards final recommendation is going to be at this point. Were just prepared to move in whatever direction the board would like to see based on the information provided.
The Potsdam Central School District is scheduled to receive $13,653,926, an increase of $273,630 over Gov. Cuomos $13.483,976 proposal, and an increase of $504,479 over their 2013-14 state aid.
Our gap before we received the state aid numbers today was $118,762. That would fill our gap in the budget, Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said.
He said that, throughout the budget process, theyve been using additional fund balance to reduce their gap so they would not have to make cuts beyond what theyve done in past years. When the districts Finance Committee meets tonight, theyll be discussing how to use the additional monies theyve received.
In order to offset any cuts this year, we added about $600,000 more fund balance into our budget, which is a significant amount. We will be recommending to reduce the amount of fund balance in our budget with this additional state aid, Mr. Brady said.
He said that, while they appreciate the increase in state aid and also that the governor and legislature were able to reach an on-time budget, schools like Potsdam are still receiving less of an increase they last year.
For Potsdam Central School, this increase is approximately $200,000 less of an increase than we had last year. We are still receiving less funding than we did in 2008-09 by approximately $430,000. If you look at our operating aid in 2008-09 to 2014-15, its $430,000 less. But the cost of business continues to go up. So, while we are pleased to see additional aid above the governors proposal, we are still being underfunded. Theres no question about it, Mr. Brady said.
In terms of the gap elimination adjustment, we have received millions less in the last four years than we should have received. Its very difficult to continue to provide programming when were underfunded. However, after several years of cutting staff and programming, this year we decided that we would look at the increasing the fund balance rather than going back to further cuts. Thats only sustainable for a short period of time. Were receiving less support from the state and we are very reluctant to palace that shift onto our local taxpayers, he said.
Mr. Brady said the increased costs and decreased funding, leading to a depletion of reserve funds, need to be addressed by state officials.
Those are the tough issues we have not seen the state tackle. That would include the inequitable funding formula thats in place. Well continue to beat the drum for more equitable state aid and mandate relief. Those are two areas that the state really needs to take on in a serious manner, he said.
Norwood-Norfolk Central School will receive $13,038,643 in state aid, which represents a $712,628 increase over the $12,626,089 Gov. Cuomo had proposed for the district. Thats an increase of $535,627 over what they received in 2013-14.
We had a little bit of an increase, Superintendent James M. Cruikshank said. It wasnt full restoration. Were still below the levels we were in 2008. This at least gets us back on the playing field.
He said the additional funding is welcome at a time when they were facing a gap of $632,000 while using $1.4 million from their reserves and fund balance.
Among their proposals to close that gap was the elimination of eight full-time equivalent positions, which includes core teachers, support staff and academic intervention services. That move would save $498,000.
But now, Mr. Cruikshank said, their gap is down to about $72,000.
Were devoting an historic level from our fund balance and reserves, he said.
But, for the time being, none of the potential reductions theyve been discussing are in the budget, according to the superintendent, who said the spending plan adds another fourth- and fifth-grade teacher because of concerns over large class sizes next school year.
Right now were comfortable, he said, noting they now needed to determine what kind of a reduction to make to close the $72,000 gap.
We still have to get to closing the gap of $72,000, what reductions would have a minimal impact on programming and see what we can do from there, Mr. Cruikshank said.
The districts board of education meets for a budget work session at 6:30 p.m. tonight to go over the latest numbers.
In Brasher Falls, the St. Lawrence Central School District saw their state aid rise from $13,708,716 in 2013-14 to $15,217,888 in 2014-15. They will be receiving $1,021,626 more than Gov. Cuomos proposal of $14,730,342.
During their March board of education meeting, Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. said that they were looking at a gap of $1.7 million between revenues and expenditures if they maintained the status quo and did not add any positions.
Because of that gap, they had provided the St. Lawrence Central United Teachers union with a list of 23 positions that may be affected by reductions in the budget. He said, under the terms of the unions contract, district officials are contractually obligated to notify them in March of any potential reductions.
Mr. Vigliotti was unavailable for comment Monday.
The Colton-Pierrepont Central School District will be receiving just over $2.6 million in total state aid, which is a 7.54 percent increase over what they got for the 2013-2014 school year.
Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash said that the aid, which totals $2,602,153, was about $65,000 more than what was initially in Mr. Cuomos proposal. That being said, the Gap Elimination Adjustment is still a significant area of concern for Mr. Kardash.
If you see how little of a GEA we saw, it was my expectation that the GEA would drop in half but we did not see that, Mr. Kardash said. If you look at the other schools in the area, the elimination of the GEA was more effective. It looks like CPCS didnt have the gap eliminated as much as the other schools. It probably affects the other schools more than us because they require more aid.
(The GEA) would affect Canton-Potsdam more than us because of their dependence being higher.
CPCS is facing a $223,257 GEA, a $70,000 difference from last years mark that approached $300,000.
This would put us in the neighborhood of less than a $200,000 increase than last year which is limited because of our tax cap of 0.85 percent. So we werent able to raise revenue on the tax side, Mr. Kardash said. Were not in a position to add programs. At this time we increased our appropriated fund balance to make up the difference. We also reduced one high school math position.
For Parishville-Hopkinton, they are looking at a $6,030,196 total for state aid, which represents a $125,076 increase from this last years total. The proposed aid to the district was losing $43,917 or a downswing of 0.74 percent. Without building aid, Gov. Cuomos proposal had called for a hike of $1,773 or a possible increase of 0.03 percent. That was on the Governors proposal, Superintendent Darin P. Saiff said. Coming into this school year, the (Gap Elimination Adjustment) was $338,991 and the Governor proposed restoring $57,704. The final state aid proposals were better than what we thought.
The state aid increase equals a 2.12 percent rise from last year. That increased our GEA $163,853. For our district, thats where were seeing the largest increase, Mr. Saiff said. Im happy that weve seen an increase over the executive budget. Wed still like to see a total elimination of the GEA as its still scheduled to take back $175,138 which makes the total about $2 million in GEA over the last five years.

Cancer type (NET):Carcinoid
Diagnosis Year:2008
How I survive cancer:
I went in to see my Gyno for my annual exam. It had been three years since my last one. My right side was very tender when she did a vaginal ultrasound. She did an abdominal ultrasound and there was a huge cyst, full of fluid. I went in two days later to have that removed. That surgery went well, my dr. told me she removed my appendix because it looked funny. I recovered and went home, that's when I received the call. My appendix came back positive with a 5.5cm tumor!! I had to go straight to the hospital to have a right hemicolectomy, lymph nodes removed. So far I am clean.
How I fight for a cure:
I talk about this type of cancer educating myself and others. Age does not matter. I also walked and raised money for the Relay for Life.
My caring words of encouragement:
I love the trees, the leaves, the water, the sky. I love everything. This is what I said standing at the hospital window. I love life.

Soccer: Qualifier is all business for Salvadorans
Provo » El Salvador opened its short week of training for Saturday's World Cup qualifier by spending nearly three hours on conditioning. The national team, which faces the United States in Rio Tinto Stadium, conducted mostly running drills aimed at getting the team used to the altitude.
The Salvadorans, coached by former Mexican international Carlos de los Cobos , are working out on the BYU soccer practice field. The evening session was much shorter.
The Salvadorans were greeted by a small but excited group of fans, nearly two dozen, who stood behind a chain-link fence snapping camera shutters. BYU TV-International filmed a segment for later broadcast.
According to BYU soccer coach Chris Watkins , acting liaison between the school and El Salvador, de los Cobos is keeping his team focused squarely on soccer. BYU has offered to escort the team for sightseeing.
"He's kept them on a tight leash," Watkins said. "Eat, hotel and soccer. It's all business."
De Los Cobos, named coach of El Salvador on Aug. 26, 2006, dismissed any problems about adjusting to play at 4,200 feet.
"I feel it won't be a factor," he said through an interpreter. "I expect our national team to play well. We're very happy in Provo, getting ready for an important game."
De Los Cobos was more concerned with having a short week to prepare for the United States.
"We only have four days to work," he said. "The players have come here for the competition in excellent condition."
Something to prove
El Salvador's intensity during its two-a-day practices is a direct result of the team's recent performance in the CONCACAF World Cup competition.
The team lost a home match Aug. 12 to Trinidad & Tobago, 1-0.
Cornell Glen scored in the sixth minute for T&T, dropping El Salvador to the bottom of the table standings with five points, in fifth-place tie with T&T.
El Salvador last qualified for the World Cup in 1982, where it lost to Hungary by a still record 10-1 score.
Those meddling kids
In a never-ending quest to determine the United States' influence upon world culture, here's this: The ring tone for a support member of the El Salvador team was the theme from the popular cartoon "Scooby-Doo."

Panel formed to probe complaints vs Lee, Cornejo-A A +A
Thursday, January 30, 2014
MANILA -- Three prosecutors have been tasked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to evaluate the complaints filed by Vhong Navarro against those who physically abused him at a condominium unit in Taguig City last January 22.
They are Assistant State Prosecutors Olivia Torrevillas, Hazel Decena-Valdez and Marie Elvira Herrera, Prosecutor General Claro Arellano said in a one-page order on Wednesday.
Eight people including Deniece Cornejo, Cedric Lee and his sister Bernice were facing charges of serious illegal detention, serious physical injuries, grave threats, grave coercion, illegal arrest and blackmail at the DOJ.
The prosecutors will then conduct a preliminary investigation on the complaints to determine if there is basis to hold a full-blown trial in court.
Navarro claimed he was beaten up by around six to seven men when he visited Cornejo in her condominium unit.
Lee justified his group's actions, saying they saved Cornejo from Navarro's attempt to rape their 22-year-old friend.
But the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said it is impossible for Navarro to rape Cornejo since she left the actor in the room and met Lee and his companions at the lobby, citing footage taken by the condominium's closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV).
Still, Cornejo filed a rape case against Navarro before the Taguig City Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday.
The mauling incident gained so much interest from authorities, even prompting Justice Secretary Leila de Lima on Wednesday to order the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to place the Lee siblings, Cornejo, Ferdinand Guerrero and Zimmer Rance under its lookout list.
Immigration Commissioner Siegfred Mison issued the lookout bulletin order on Thursday after de Lima granted the request of NBI Director Virgilio Mendez.
An LBO does not stop individuals from leaving the country since it is merely a notice that a person or persons is/are attempting to depart.
De Lima ordered Mison to promptly relay to the Office of the Secretary, DOJ, to the Office of the Prosecutor General and NBI "any pertinent information, especially those tending to indicate that the subject individuals are attempting to leave the country, and in order to obtain updates as to the status of their case and other relevant information that may be the basis for the proper course of action to be taken by the immigration officer."
She also asked Arellano to speed up the resolution of the case.
"If it should be found that there is probable cause to criminally charge the respondents in court, to immediately file the case and obtain warrant for their arrest," the memorandum stated.
Reports said Lee and Cornejo may leave for Singapore on February 6. (Sunnex)

CLEVELAND, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Midwest healthcare companies attracted $996 million in new investments across 182 companies in 2012 according to the BioEnterprise Midwest Healthcare Venture Investment Report. The total dollars attracted is up by twenty-three percent from 2011. Ohio ($292 million), Minnesota ($165 million), and Illinois ($146 million) led Midwestern states in attracting investment dollars; Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Chicago were the leaders among Midwest regions.

"Investment activity in Midwest healthcare deals continues its upward trend, outperforming previous years' activity for 3 years in a row.
As with the rest of the country, Midwest healthcare investing fell dramatically in 2009 after strong years in 2007 and 2008, but it appears investors are again optimistic about Midwest deals. 2013 should be an interesting year to watch," said Aram Nerpouni, Interim President of BioEnterprise, the Cleveland biomedical accelerator.
By sector, the 2012 equity funding was allocated as follows:
"The Midwest typically sees more medical device companies than either healthcare IT or biopharmaceutical; however, biotech saw the largest influx of dollars in 2012 as investors continue to focus on later stage biotech opportunities," said Nerpouni. "Investment activity in Midwest healthcare IT remains robust as investors are drawn by payers and providers searching for applications to improve patient outcomes and efficiencies."

Extending EL Syntax
I've been working a bit on extending EL, but found that the API is missing a few features desired to fully make the language pluggable by third parties.
First is method invocations. Caching reflected data is so difficult to do without causing some kind of memory leak. I really wish JSE had some kind of ClassLoader listener API as a safer alternative to statically scoped data in web containers. Maybe others have more experience in this area? Anyways, performance of method invocation is pretty fast, it takes the same time to do
a.b as to do
a.getB()-- averaging 0.0016 ms on my laptop for both.
To be safe, I did add some logic for finding the best match if there are multiple methods with the same name. Tis better than nothing :-)
The more important addition is projections:
a.{x|x.b} which means iterate over the Collection (a), for each, get (b).
Projections are useful in the presentation tier for binding sets of properties instead of requiring two parts: items="#{a}" var="v", value="#{v.b}". Actually, it may be more performant with the equivalent projection if you were to do: items="#{a.{x|x.b}}" var="v", value="#{v}". Anyways, there's a subtle difference in my implementation of projections as opposed to others.
Here's our model: A company has many departments, which have many employees. If I wanted to generate a list of employee names, I would do something like this:
The OGNL equivalent is a little lighter in syntax:
..but produces a List of a List of Strings:
That's not what we wanted! With the EL implementation, you instead get:
Which seems more correct to me. The main reason is that EL is supposed to represent pointers to instances, so if I take the pointer (ValueExpression) and call the setValue on it-- I would expect that my target (each employee's name) would be set. So why would I return a List of Lists then?
Another cool feature of projections under the EL-API is the use of MethodExpressions. MethodExpressions work perfectly for hooking into Framework APIs as JSF has with generic actions, validators, etc. So lets say your backing model had a collection of Validators, but you didn't want to express each one separately?
<h:inputText value="#{bean.name}" validator="#{bean.validators.{x|x.validate}}"/>
What I'd really like to see added to the EL-API though is pluggable type conversion and method invocation. Right now you can plug in your own property resolution, but the strange thing is that if you take the expression #{a.b} as a value, you can customize the resolution of (b), but if you take it as a method, then you cannot customize the resolution of (b), so the method must always exist on that instance in accordance with the EL implementation's rules.
To correct these two missing pieces, I would like to see two methods added to the ELResolver API which allow near everything to be customized with:
public Object convertType(ELContext ctx, Object in, Class type)
public Object invoke(ELContext ctx, Object base, Object method, Object[] params)
public MethodInfo getMethodInfo(ELContext ctx, Object base, Object method, Object[] params)
The execution of these methods would work the same as the other ELResolver methods, requiring the propertyResolved to be set to 'true'. It'd be great then to allow customized extensions of Iterable/Collections/Maps such that one could do:
Which would call into the ELResolver chain with the following:
public Object invoke(ctx, Collection, "asc", new Object[] { closure })
This would allow you to treat closures as value-types for some pretty extreme customization with mixing your own Java code into the execution of 'inlined' EL without requiring full API changes within the JSE.
Basically, these are just some future ideas for EL, whenever it becomes it's own JSR. With Facelets and custom EL-API implementations, such as this one, you can just set one property on the compiler and away you go with the added features.
(I have to start releasing stuff again)

Police to look into past report of taxi robbery-A A +A
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
TALOMO police will look into a previous news report in a national daily involving the same person, who claimed to have been robbed by a taxi driver here as the news report eight years ago bore similarity with what has been reported recently.
PCI Alfredo Santillano, officer-in-charge of Talomo Police Station, said they were able to get a copy of the report of a robbery incident that transpired in Cebu in 2006 involving Jesus Dizon II through the internet.
Dizon is the man who identified himself as a pastor who filed a robbery case against taxi driver Santos Descallar Diez here last week.
According to the national daily's report, Dizon was robbed by a taxi driver and his cohorts who were all armed in Mandaue in September 2006.
His personal belongings such as P33,000 worth of cash, two cellular phones worth P41,200 and set of jewelry taken.
However, Dizon was not able to get the plate number and body number of the taxi.
"Ang copy sa report nakuha namo sa internet base ni sa among impormasyon kay gina-trace man namo ang iyang pagkatao pud (We got the report in the internet since we are also tracing his identity)," Santillano told Sun.Star Davao in an interview Wednesday afternoon.
"Gi-refer ni sa akong imbestigador, iya man pud gi-confirm nga siya ni (Dizon confirmed he is the same person)," he added.
He said he instructed the police investigator assigned to the case to "dig deeper".
"In the meantime, this is our personal consumption sa investigation kay dili man namo ni pwede iapil sa kaso. Naa ni aron kung naay mangutana, naa mi ikasulti (We are not allowed to include this in the ongoing case.
We're just looking into this so that when we anyone asks us about it, we have something to say)," he said.
"Sa level lang sa namo ni, dili namo pwede iabot sa fiscal. At least makita sa katawhan, naa mi effort gi-exert. Gi tan-aw pud namo iyang pagkatao para dili pud sila makaingon nga siya ang complainant, giduot namo ang respondent (The investigation is at our level only and will not be submitted to the fiscal. We are exerting all efforts so public may know that since he's the complainant we will pin everything on the respondent)," he said.
PSSCC chief Retired General Francisco Villaroman posted on PSSCC's official Facebook page that Senior Superintendent Vicente Danao formed a separate team of investigators to look into the national report.
"The reason behind my request is the absence of a strong evidence presented by the victim in the case folder submitted by Talomo Police Station during the inquest proceedings which I believe will just be dismissed by the prosecutor or the court when remanded in the sala of the judge who will hear the case," Villaroman said.
"Our supplied technical evidence taken and lifted from our public cameras are just the lead to pursue an investigation. It may just be a simple circumstantial evidence when not corroborated by a witness or witnesses to make the case stand in court. It's just a word of a complainant against the word of the alleged suspect. It is better to release 10 criminals who really committed a crime than to place in jail an innocent man... Fair is Fair, isn't it?" he added.
Meanwhile, Sun.Star Davao on Wednesday went to Dizon's house and tried to get his comments regarding the issue which remains to be a hot topic at the official Facebook page of the Public Safety and Security Command Center.
Dizon, after explaining his side lengthily, asked not to be quoted.
