ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Two men were convicted of charges in the slaying of a 17-year-old Rochester boy in Monroe County Court.
The jury found Vincent Bean, 20, guilty on charges of murder, manslaughter and gang assault. The same jury also found Ronald Nelson, 28, guilty of gang assault
Prosecutors say the men approached Travone Teasley, 17, at the corner of Kirkland and Genesee Street June 20, 2014. They chased him, beat him and then Bean stabbed him to death.
A third defendant, Deiondre Francis, was also involved and plead guilty.
Bean faces 25 years to life when he is sentenced June 9, 2015. Nelson faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced the following week.
NEW YORK (AP) - Ten reputed members of the Bloods street gang have been indicted in a gunrunning ring that smuggled weapons to New York City for resale.
Authorities unsealed the 367-count indictment Wednesday.
They say the gang would use Metro-North to smuggle weapons into the city from Port Chester and Connecticut. The firearms ranged from .22 caliber pistols to assault weapons.
The suspects face charges of conspiracy, criminal possession and criminal sale of firearms.
One defendant was indicted separately on a murder conspiracy charge.
The alleged ring leader used the nickname "Redrum" - murder spelling backward
State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says the allegations lay out a disturbing but "all too familiar" pattern of gun trafficking and violence.
Authorities say an undercover officer bought nearly 100 guns on 47 separate occasions from the suspects.
Derrick Yancey, 27, of Buffalo, a member of the now-defunct 10th Street Gang, was ordered by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara to serve a 168-month federal prison term for his conspiracy conviction under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Tripi said that from 2005 through 2010 Yancey was an active member of the gang and on Sept. 15, 2008 he drove other gang members to Busti Avenue where they shot and killed Omar Fraticello-Lugo, an alleged member of the rival and now-defunct 7th Street Gang, and injured two other men. Yancey is the latest of 44 members of the 10th Street Gang or their associates charged and convicted.
Three Buffalo women were arrested on felony gang assault charges late Tuesday and two other women were being sought by police in connection with the alleged attack on a 7th Street woman late Monday afternoon.
Bridgett A. Salter, 33, of Pine Harbor Walk; Alexis Davis, 17, of 7th Street and Ayana Hardyh, 24, who refused to give police a local address, were all charged with second-degree gang assault for allegedly accosting the victim and hitting her while she was holding her 7-year-old daughter near her home.
Police reported obtaining a video tape of the incident made with an apartment building surveillance camera system. Two other unidentified women still were being sought for allegedly taking part in the incident.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – Nine alleged members and associates of the violent Bloods street gang were indicted on charges of operating a high-volume gun trafficking ring, state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton announced Wednesday .
According to the 367-count felony indictment unsealed in Bronx Supreme Court, investigators seized 93 illegal guns.
The weapons were allegedly purchased on New York City streets, but also in Port Chester, Maine and Connecticut for resale in New York City by ring members.
Some of the guns bought in Port Chester and Stamford, Conn., were transported to the city on Metro-North trains and the weapons were resold in New York City for several times their original price, the attorney general's office said.
Stamford Police arrested two of the men Tuesday after they were drawn into the investigation by New York City Police, New York State investigators and federal authorities last week, said Capt. Richard Conklin. He said Stamford police were told two of the suspects may have been spending time in the city.
Brett "Agony" Irving-Carroll, 27, was arrested at his residence at 186 W. Main St., Apt. C., shortly before 6 a.m. Conklin said. He said police had been conducting surveillance on him and the residence. Stamford Police were joined New York City Police, New York Attorney General's office and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms representatives at the arrest.
Conklin said a Ruger semiautomatic pistol with a laser sight, ammunition for other weapons and 3.5 pounds of marijuana were found in the residence.
Irving-Carroll was extradited to New York, but Conklin said Stamford Police will also prepare drug and weapon charges against him.
Later, officers swooped in and arrested a second member of the Bloods, Cadeim Beckford, 20, of the Bronx, as he walked in the area of Pacific Street and Towne Street in Stamford around 1 p.m. Conklin said Stamford Police will not be pressing any charges against Beckford because he was simply arrested by city police on behalf of New York authorities.
Conklin said Stamford Police are "very interested" in the men's presence in Stamford.
"We are very interested that they are in our fair city," he said.
As a result of the Operation Redrum investigation, based on the nickname of alleged ring leader William "Redrum" Soler, the gang members and associates were charged with felony conspiracy and criminal possession and criminal sale of firearms counts. Soler was also charged with second-degree conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, for allegedly plotting to kill a rival gang member.
If convicted, the lead defendants, Soler, Ronald Snyder, Princesequan Hunter, and Cadeim Beckford, face up to 25 years in prison on the top count, first-degree criminal sale of a firearm.
A 10th defendant, Erick Ransom, was separately indicted for the murder conspiracy. He also faces up to 25 years behind bars.
The investigation, led by the Attorney General's Organized Crime Task Force and the NYPD's Firearms Investigation Unit, began last summer.
According to the papers, after an undercover detective, posing as a gun reseller, purchased guns directly from Soler, electronic surveillance was used to monitor the ring's activities.
Firearms sales charged in the indictment range from .22 caliber pistols to assault weapons. Approximately 11 of the guns seized had the serial numbers filed off, making the weapons untraceable.
The indictment charges the following defendants:
JACKSON HEIGHTS — Two gunmen shot and killed a man in what appears to be a gang-related attack, sparking investigators to shut down part of the neighborhood in a search for the suspects, officials said.
The victim, identified as Jorge Manzanarez, 38, of Corona, was in front of 93-12 Roosevelt Ave., near Whitney Avenue, about 2:23 p.m., when he was shot in the torso, an NYPD spokesman said.
He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition, an FDNY spokesman said. He later died of his injuries, police said.
In the wake of the shooting, police cordoned off Roosevelt Avenue between 93rd and 94th streets and Whitney Avenue from Aske Street to 40th Road to allow investigators to canvass the area.
Police looked under cars and in backyards for the two suspects while a police helicopter circled overhead.
Locals said the shooting and police response made them feel tense.

"Everybody who live here, is not safe," said Alfons Matta, 69, who has lived in the area for 10 years, "You have to protect yourself. Close door, go inside. A lot of gangs. You have to stay away."
The investigation continued Wednesday, but an NYPD spokesman said it appeared to be a gang-related incident.
The Guardian Angels, who have been diligently patrolling Greenport every week for months, have uncovered what they believe is gang graffitti near the railroad tracks.
According to Benjamin Garcia, patrol leader for the Guardian Angels in Greenport, the graffiti was found on a trailer, and read "666".
According to multiple sources, the "666" tag is sometimes used by the 18th Street gang.
"We do get a variety of graffiti complaints over the course of the year, some are just tags of a graffiti artists's work, some are simply symbols of favorite bands — but some are definitely associated with gang symbols and gangs marking their territory," said Southold Police Chief Martin Flatley. "We have seen the '666' tag in the past in different parks in Greenport, so this may be an older graffiti marking, and yes, that symbol was associated with the 18th Street gang. We investigate every report of graffiti sightings in town and document them by photographing and maintaining a file with all of these photos, which will assist with our investigations."
Steven Lundquist, commanding officer of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office Gang Intelligence Unit, said the symbol is also used as a sign of the devil.
Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, said the Guardian Angels are fighting back and taking a proactive stance against any signs of gang activity in Greenport, including graffiti.
"There is no doubt that it is gang related graffiti," Sliwa said. "In communities all over the country, large or small, there is a rule of thumb: As soon as the gang graffiti goes up, it must be painted over or removed."
Often, Sliwa said, the graffiti is painted on commercial or residential property that's owned by absentee landlords and property managers, "if they even have one, normally won't lift a finger to have it removed. Every day it remains up, it empowers the gangs all the more. It says to the immigrant community, 'We rule the day and we rule the night.' The kids see it and then, some are attracted to it as part of a public recruitment campaign. Every minute, every hour, every day it remains up it strengthens the gang."
Sliwa said if the graffiti remains in Greeport, the Guardian Angels will remove it themselves.
Hate crimes and graffiti laced with gang symbols must be eradicated, Sliwa said. "Imagine if it were swastikas, how quickly it would be removed, and rightfully so. The fear and intimidation of what the swastika stands for, especially in the Jewish community — we've seen that controversy blow up recently in Commack and before that, in Bellmore, where teenagers were flaunting swastikas. When the immigrant community sees the gang graffiti from their country of origins it reminds them of the nightmare that they have fled from. The tyranny has followed them to the East End."
Sliwa attended a Tolerance Dinner at Westbury Manor last night hosted by the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, he said. "The people of Long Island need to recognize the harm, fear, fright and hysteria that the gang graffiti spreads in the immigrant community. We will be in the forefront of removing it and keeping it off."
In Southold Town, the anti-bias task force came before the town board today and outlined ways it, too, aims to galvanize to prevent gang activity or bullying, looking toward education of young people to help create change. The immigrant community, they said, needs to be able to feel comfortable coming forward to the police when necessary; the hiring of a Spanish-speaking officer this year was a critical step, the group said.
Meanwhile, the Guardian Angels who've patrolled the streets of Greenport continue to report a positive response from the community.
"Cars have been passing, with drivers honking at us and giving us the thumb's up," Garcia said.
Diners on Front Street stopped a recent patrol and thanked the Guardian Angels, as did recent guests at a children's birthday party held near the carousel; kids and parents asked the Guardian Angels if they could pose with them for photos.
"They tell us we're doing a great job," Garcia said, adding that even a police officer on patrol last weekend gave the Guardian Angels words of support.
Cami Feeney of Southold said after she heard about a brutal gang shooting and machete attack that began in Greenport between the 18th Street gang and MS-13 and ended up in Southold last fall, she was "very, very concerned. I was shocked." She and her family left Sayville for a quieter North Fork life but now, she said, she won't even let her the son, 14, ride his bike alone at night.
Stopping to thank the Guardian Angels, Feeney said, "It's nice to see you guys here," she said. "Thank you for what you do."
On a recent patrol with the Guardian Angels, two members of the Latino community also stopped to sign up as future patrol members. "I want to help make a difference in my community," said Walter Alvarado.
Sliwa said the Guardian Angels' continuous presence in the village over the past months has helped to create bonds and a sense of security.
"The Guardian Angels' regular presence is building up trust in the local immigrant community, so if they have a problem involving public safety they know feel confident to approach members of their own community, who are out there boldly patrolling as Guardian Angels. From the merchants to families to day laborers and street people, the more we're out and involved with their community the more trust is conveyed into us. As of this date the assimilation of the Guardian Angels into the immigrant community is working as planned," he said.
Syracuse, NY -- Jerry Benton is going on trial later this month in the stabbing death of another man outside a Milton Avenue bar last year.
But can Senior Assistant District Attorney Melinda McGunnigle bring up his alleged gang affiliation to the jury? Benton's lawyer says no, arguing that it's "highly prejudicial."
Defense lawyer Robert Baska noted that Benton, 32, was not charged with a gang-related homicide. Benton is charged with manslaughter, accused of stabbing Bryan "Gadget" Sheppard to death June 7, 2014 outside Club Gravity bar, on Milton Avenue near the city's border with Solvay.
But McGunnigle said her key law enforcement witnesses -- including Benton's federal parole officer and Syracuse cops -- recognized Benton because he was considered a gang member.
The key piece of evidence in Benton's trial will be a videotape of the fatal stabbing.
McGunnigle said Benton's parole officer -- he was convicted of federal drug crimes -- will say she recognized Benton as the attacker. Federal authorities had labeled Benton a gang member, but never prosecuted him as such.
In addition, a Syracuse police officer who followed street gangs and recognized Benton in the video because of Benton's reputed gang affiliation, McGunnigle said.
Baska argued that McGunnigle simply wanted to bring up the gang issue to provide a motive for the crime that wasn't proven with facts. McGunnigle said there was a known conflict between Bricktown -- Benton's alleged gang -- and the 110 gang. She suggested that was an impetus for the fight.
"I do think it's a motive, but also his identity," McGunnigle said.
Benton reportedly made a reference to his membership in the Bricktown gang during a scuffle at the Onondaga County Justice Center jail, McGunnigle said.
County Court Judge Thomas J. Miller said he would offer Baska time to respond in writing before making his decision. He promised to rule by the end of the week.
But the judge appeared to look for ways today to allow the prosecution to present a case without bringing up the word "gang." For the parole officer, for example, would it be OK to tell the jury that Benton had been convicted of a previous crime without saying he had been identified as a gang member?
Benton goes to trial May 18. If found guilty, he is facing up to 25 years in state prison.
This is not a new issue. In a trial earlier this year, it wasn't made public until sentencing that a Syracuse man accused of murder was a gang member.
Lewis Swift was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison this February for the brutal beating death of Carnell Marshall. Prosecutor Matthew Doran was barred until sentencing from saying that Swift was a gang member who ordered his subordinates to carry out the fatal attack.
And in 2014, a judge barred prosecutors from labeling a Syracuse man as a gang member at a murder trial involving a death outside a South Avenue bar. That defendant was acquitted of the crime.
Gates, N.Y. - A chaotic scene erupted after one person was killed and at least six more were injured after a shooting early Saturday morning at a bar in the town of Gates.
According to police, the shooting happened around 1 a.m. inside the Gates Pub on Hinchey Road near Chili Avenue after an argument inside the pub escalated.
Officers on scene say six to seven people have been taken to local hospitals. The injuries of the victims range from minor to serious injuries, according to Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode.
One 37-year-old man was found dead at the scene. Six others were shot, some multiple times.
Police say at least one shooter was involved, but have not ruled out the possibility of multiple shooters.
Multiple people are being questioned in connection with the shooting, including at least one person of interest.
No word yet on what the motive may have been behind the shooting.
Police have not yet released the identities of any victims, injured or deceased.
Gates Police Department is investigating the incident with help from Rochester, Ogden and Greece Police Departments, as well as the Monroe County Sheriff's Off

Rochester, N.Y. - A jury was seated late Friday in the trial of the man accused of shooting Rochester Police Officer Daryl Pierson. Twelve jurors and six alternates were selected after 375 people were screened over 3 days.
"We've been very thorough in our questioning of the potential jurors and I'm confident we produced a jury and alternates that will be fair and impartial," said District Attorney Sandra Doorley.
Thomas Johnson III is accused of intentionally shooting officer Pierson during a foot chase September 3, 2014. He's also accused of the attempted murder of another police officer and shooting a civilian caught in the crossfire.
Thousands of people in Rochester attended Pierson's funeral and there has been extensive publicity in that case. Defense attorneys sought a change in venue fearing they could not get a fair trial here.
That opinion appears to change after jury selection this week.
"We've selected 12 jurors and six alternates and no one is someone on the jury that Thomas Johnson would not approve of," said Defense Attorney James Hinman.
It's been almost 8 months since the community mourned the death of Officer Pearson. Beginning Monday the community will learn in great detail what happened on Hudson Avenue the night of September 3.
Both the prosecution and defense will lay out their cases in opening statements. Prosecutors will be the first to present witnesses and some of the first people the community will hear from are Rochester police officers who were there the night officer Pierson was killed.
"The biggest challenge will be dealing with the emotion," said Doorley. "I'm sure it will be emotional for the witnesses who testified as well as Amy Pierson, her family and Rochester Police. But we'll get through it."
It is unclear whether the defense will call any witnesses, though under the law they are not required to do so.
"I do not expect Mr. Johnson to be acquitted," said Hinman. "I do not intend to argue Mr. Johnson is not responsible for officer Pierson's death. The issue is what is the level of responsibility."
In order to get the strongest sentence of life without parole, jurors must find intent. Jurors must believe Johnson intentionally shot Officer Daryl Pierson.
The trial will unfold 4 days a week for the next 3-4 weeks. The duration of the trial led to the decision to seek 6 alternates when the usual number is 2.
Alternate jurors sit alongside the regular jury and step in if someone is dismissed for any reason.
"If someone becomes ill or has a family emergency and we lose one of the 12 we would have to start all over. Nobody wants that," said Hinman.
In the 1991 trial of serial killer Arthur Shawcross, 4 alternate jurors were selected. The trial lasted 12 weeks and none of the alternates were pressed into service.
However, Chuck Siragusa, who prosecuted in that case and hundreds of others said alternate jurors are used more often than most people think. He estimated alternates stepped in about one quarter of the cases he has tried.

text: Is it possible for PS3 Media Server to read DRM protected Windows Media Audio files (and videos for that matter). I download a lot of songs from Sprial Frog - legal music with DRM protection. It would be great if PS3 Media server could read these and transcode them to mp3 or something that the PS3 can play. Of course it has to read the DRM first. Orb is able to do these well, but I am looking for one UPnP server - as I user PS3 Media Server to stream video with no transcoding... Orb will transcode everything, there is no option to turn that off.

At first glance many residency programs appear to offer a very similar experience. The following are some features of NYP/Queens which we believe really distinguish us from the rest of the pack.
We treat a diverse population of patients in our busy emergency department. Over 120 languages are spoken by our patients and a major focus of our department is on understanding and improving emergency medical care for new Americans. We encourage our resident and attending physicians to engage in international emergency medicine exchanges to further our department's understanding of diversity in emergency medicine. Many residents have taken advantage of overseas experiences with recent rotation sites that include: China, Dubai, Israel, Africa, Brazil and Mexico. The goals of our international program are:
Residents at NYP/Queens have the opportunity to receive superb training in bedside emergency ultrasound. There are several fellowship-trained Ultrasound Attendings who work with residents both in formal bedside teaching shifts as well as regular clinical shifts. The Ultrasound Division is strengthened by the two ultrasound fellows that NYP/Queens trains each year. Ultrasound is formally taught in the curriculum via lectures given during conference throughout the year, and during dedicated ultrasound rotations in both the PGY-1 and PGY-2 years. Presently our department has 4 ultrasound machines that are readily available to residents for clinical or teaching purposes. The Ultrasound Division is very active in teaching and research, and many residents have chosen to do research projects in this area. Additionally there is an opportunity for residents to travel to Tanzania, Africa where NYP/Queens has an ongoing outreach project training practitioners to use portable ultrasound in a rural setting where other diagnostic modalities such as X-ray or CT are not readily available.
NYP/Queens maintains a state-of-the-art simulation laboratory that is used extensively for resident teaching and training. During the course of the academic year, the lab serves as the setting for testing both procedural and medical/surgical/pediatric resuscitation competency. In addition, Tuesday morning rounds take place weekly in the lab. During these rounds, the residents engage in hands on, interactive, multidisciplinary scenarios that focus on topics including Management of STEMI, Stroke, Cardiac Arrest to name of a few.
Many faculty are very active in research activities and there is ample opportunity for residents to obtain a significant experience in this area. These efforts have the full support of the Department as there are from 5 to 10 part-time research associates and a full-time, salaried research coordinator available to assist residents with projects. A majority of our residents are able to present their work at a national-level academic conference.

With a cholera outbreak bringing extra hardship to a region already battling civil unrest, drought and famine, UPS facilitated a third flight to the Sahel Region in Africa — and the second flight for Interaction, the largest alliance of United States-based international non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The airlift served as a timely precursor to World Humanitarian Day on August 19 which is "a global celebration of people helping people" according to the United Nations website. This year's theme, titled "I Was Here," spotlights the dedication of humanitarian workers throughout the world.
"When a humanitarian crisis occurs, logistics immediately becomes key to saving lives. This is the third movement of critical relief supplies to the Sahel Region of Africa that UPS has been involved in since April as there's a lot of need," said UPS International President Dan Brutto. "UPS's role has been to make the shipments of our NGO partners more efficient by consolidating them and we're honored to be able to help by providing that expertise."

NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's tennis team came up just short in the semifinals of the Southland Conference Tournament on Friday, falling 4-2 against UTSA.
The Islanders finish the season at 12-12 and won the Southland Conference Regular Season Championship. UTSA moves on to play Nicholls in the tournament finals on Saturday morning.
This season for UTSA will continue after they have reached their highest ranking in team history, as the Roadrunners were ranked as high as No. 57 in the ITA National Rankings.
"Give credit to UTSA today, this is the highest-ranked team they've ever had, and they played an incredibly tough match today," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "I'm very, very proud of our seniors, the great careers they've had, and the character they showed. They rose up huge today.
The two points in the match came from seniors Aurelien Tave and Nathan Robinson in the singles portion of the match.
In a back-and-forth match, the Islanders looked like they were going to rally late as the final two matches were in the third set, and it looked like it would come down to No. 2 singles, where Peter Nagy had previously defeated his opponent, but it was not meant to be, as Matt Westmoreland was unable to overcome severe cramping when he led 4-0 in the third, falling by a final of 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 that clinched the match for UTSA.
"I'm incredibly proud of the season that these guys have had," said Moore. "Both in the national rankings, and as conference champs in the regular season.
"I really felt like this team played all year with a lot of heart, and I'm very proud of the character they showed."
The team reached as high as No. 64 in the ITA National Rankings, and won their fifth Southland Conference title in a row, and their fifth straight year being ranked. The Islanders average high ranking over the last five years is No. 49 in Division I tennis.
The match started with the Roadrunners sweeping the doubles point for an early 1-0 lead. Peter Nagy and Tave lost 8-6 at the No. 1 position, while Matt Westmoreland and Robinson fell by an 8-3 final. Andrew Maingot and Alex Pavlov saw their match go unfinished once the other point was clinched.
In singles, Fernando Llorens lost 6-2, 6-2 at No. 5 to make it 2-0 UTSA, but Robinson earned straight-set victory at No. 4, winning 6-1, 6-4 to get the Islanders on the board at 2-1. Tave then equalized the score at 2-2 with a 6-2, 6-0 final at No. 1 singles, but it would be all the Islanders would be able to get.
Gergo Weidinger lost 6-4, 6-1 at No. 6 to make it a 3-2 UTSA lead, and Nagy was locked into a battle at 7-5, 4-6, 3-4 on the No. 2 singles court when the match was clinched.
For the seniors, Tave, Pavlov and Robinson, it was the final match of their collegiate careers, but they accomplished so much during their time on the Island. Tave was part of two Southland Conference Championship teams, was two-time All-Southland Conference in both singles and doubles, and earned the Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year award.
For Robinson, he was part of three championship teams and was named Newcomer of the Year during his time on the team. Each of Pavlov's four years on the team ended with a Southland Conference Championship, and he was also named All-Southland as a senior.
In addition to Tave, Robinson and Pavlov, Mirna Cicak also won her doubles match in straight sets in the women's match as no senior lost in singles on the final day of the season.
"Our seniors were incredible leaders today, and they gave all their heart like they have all year," said Moore. "This year's group of seniors was a very special group.
"That's the hardest part about this job; you only get kids like these for four years. Those truly special, high-character individuals touched the lives of every teammate they had."

Start Date: May 28, 2010
End Date: Aug 31, 2012
Objective 1: We will quantify the effect of pre-harvest water management practices on the development of pressure flattening and pressure bruise. Standard cultivars will be used for trials in CO and WI. Research plots from the time of vine kill to harvest will either be irrigated to maintain soil available water at >75%, irrigated by rainfall only which is the grower standard, or covered with tarps during rain events to prevent irrigation. For each treatment, tuber water content will be determined at the time tubers are placed into storage. The water required to rehydrate cut tubers to an osmotic potential typical for fully hydrated tubers will also be determined. These two measures of tuber water status will be compared to observed incidence of pressure flattening and bruise. Pressure bruise evaluations will be conducted in two ways. Small-scale evaluations will occur in custom build pressure bruise-chambers holding approximately 30 tubers. The effect of pre-harvest management will also be determined by burying bagged samples of each treatment within potato storages at WI and CO. These will be evaluated for incidence of flattening and bruise at the time that bins are unloaded. Objective 2: Post-harvest management will evaluate storage temperature and ventilation management for fresh market russets on a commercial scale. Three commercial-scale storage bins will be utilized to demonstrate the effects of temperature and ventilation rate on shrink, pressure flattening, and pressure bruise as well as energy costs associated with heating, cooling and ventilation for each treatment. For the reference bin, tubers will be preconditioned at 55°F and cooled to a holding temperature of 38°F at a rate of 0.5°F/d. Ventilation rates will be managed by maintaining a bottom-to-top of pile temperature differential of 1.5°F. Supplemental humidification will be used to maintain relative humidity at 95%. Management of a second bin will mirror the reference bin except that the final temperature will be 42°F and the humidity will be adjusted so that volumetric water content of the bins is equal. A third bin will be the same as the reference, except that ventilation will be increased to maintain a pile temperature differential of 0.5°F. Objective 3: The hypothesis to be tested is that handling tubers upon removal from storage leads to development of impact bruises under pressure flattened areas. Tubers will be obtained with severe pressure flattening and no pressure flattening directly from commercial storage and from research scale bins. Flattened and normal tubers from each storage facility will be subjected to a factorial treatment design. Treatment factors will include pulp temperature before handling (4 or 10°C), washed or unwashed, and blunt force trauma or no trauma on pressure flattened and non-flattened areas. Data collection will include shrink, pressure flattening, internal bruise, and storage conditions. Samples subjected to impact will be examined under the microscope to more precisely characterize the nature of cellular damage.

Hawaii Energy Bills Include a Solar Hot Water Requirement
Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle has approved a number of energy-related bills over the past several weeks, including one that requires most new single-family homes to include solar water heaters. Senate Bill 644, approved on June 26, prohibits the issuing of building permits for new homes without solar water heaters as of 2010. The bill excludes homes located in areas with poor solar energy resources, homes using other renewable energy sources, and homes employing on-demand gas-fired water heaters. The bill also eliminates solar thermal energy tax credits for those homes. See SB 644 and the governor's press release.
The governor's energy bill-signing streak started in late April with the approval of House Bill 2502, which allows solar energy facilities to be located on less-productive agricultural lands, followed in late May by the approval of HB 3179, which makes it easier for biofuel producers to lease state lands. In the same timeframe, the governor approved SB 2034, SB 3190, and HB 2168, which authorize special purpose revenue bonds to help finance a 2.7-megawatt wave energy facility off the coast of Maui, a solar energy facility on Oahu, and hydrogen generation and conversion facilities at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority, located on the island of Hawaii. See HB 2505, HB 3179, SB 2034, SB 3190, HB 2168, and the governor's press release on biofuels.
On June 6, the governor approved SB 988, which allows the Hawaii Public Utility Commission to establish a rebate for solar photovoltaic electric systems, and HB 2550, which encourages net metering for residential and small commercial customers. On July 1, the governor approved the final three energy bills, including HB 2863, which provides streamlined permitting for new renewable energy facilities of at least 200 megawatts in capacity. HB 2505 creates a full-time renewable energy facilitator to help the state expedite those permits, while a third bill, HB 2261, will provide loans of up to $1.5 million and up to 85% of the cost of renewable energy projects at farms and aquaculture facilities. See SB 988, HB 2550, HB 2863, HB 2505, HB 2261, and the governor's press release on the final three bills.

'Suits' Creator Says Life More Incredible than Series Plot
When people say the premise of his television series, "Suits" on the USA Network, is not credible, creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh likes to remind them of Bernard Madoff, who is serving a long prison sentence for charges related to a Ponzi scheme that he operated for decades.
Korsh and several cast members took part in a discussion of the show Monday night at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles. The discussion was distributed on the Internet.
"Suits," which debuted in June 2011, is set in a competitive New York law firm and follows Mike Ross, a college dropout with a photographic memory but no law degree who is hired as an associate in the first episode. Among his previous jobs was charging law school applicants to take the LSAT for them.
Ross is played by Patrick J. Adams, and Gabriel Macht plays his mentor, Harvey Specter, known as the law firm's "closer."
The last six episodes of the show's second season begin Thursday, and "Suits" has been renewed for a third season.
Korsh said Adams was among the first actors cast. "He had an intelligence in his eyes," Korsh said.
Macht said he recommended that Korsh hire Sarah Rafferty, who plays Specter's loyal secretary, Donna. Macht and Rafferty have been friends since they met at the Williamstown (Mass,) Theatre Festival 18 years ago.
Donna was not originally planned as a regular character, Korsh said, adding, "It was my intention that characters emerge over time."
Korsh, who previously was a writer on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Just Shoot Me," said his favorite shows feature ensemble casts.
He encourages the actors to ad lib during shooting, adding that he remembers wonderful ad-libbed moments on shows he worked on though those moments never made it into the show.
"Suits" also stars Gina Torres, who plays the firm's managing partner, Jessica Pearson, and Rick Hoffman, whose character, Louis Litt, delights in abusing the firm's associates.
Hoffman said his character may be unpopular with his colleagues and with viewers but the series has allowed Litt to evolve. "With time, you get to see more and more dimensions of a person."
Torres said that when her character discovered that Ross didn't have a law degree, "her first instinct was get rid of him" but the former managing partner returned "and that was a bigger threat."
"She is very, very much aware of this ongoing threat and this vulnerability to the firm that is Mike," Torres said. "I am curious to see what will come up as well."
"Suits" is shot in a warehouse in Toronto so the cast had no idea how popular it had become until they returned to the U.S., Adams said.
Now, people yell at him about who his character is dating, he said. "People obviously really, really care. They are invested in where it's going."
Adams said he also has been told, "Hey, I went back to school because of you guys."
Meghan Markle, who plays one of Ross' love interests, a paralegal named Rachel, said she hasn't watched the show because "as an actor, all I can do is nitpick."
Korsh said a flashback episode during the second season was one of the show's most successful so another may be included in the third season.
Answering a question from the audience, Korsh said the writers do not use real legal cases in the scripts. "The writing staff tries to come up with interesting dynamics. We just fit the case to serve the personal relationship."

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
A "Little Rascals" film short had a great influence on me. It was about their Great Soapbox Race that caught my interest this time. We had a steep hill on Leeper street near my house, a perfect racetrack for us kids in the neighborhood. It was a little dangerous with cars turning off Washington Street (US Hwy 65) to Leeper to get to Greenhill's grocery store.But of course we didn't care, danger was what made it fun. You wouldn't catch us going to school telling the other kids we built a soapbox cart and took turns pushing each other around the block, No Way. Excitement, that's what counted in all things we did! We were the Young Daredevils.We looked for the right parts (free was key) to build our soapbox cart. We searched high and low for the wheels and boards to make it. Greenhills had wood crates back then and heavy cardboard. Trager's Welding helped with the steering. Bailey's Garage helped with the design. The sawmill just across the railroad tracks had boards strewn about. Also, my little red wagon was not spared.After it was constructed, we had to paint it and give it another day to dry. We waited till Sunday so the traffic was light on the highway. Back then nothing was open on Sunday and our Leeper street would only have three or four cars all day turning on to it. We pulled the cart to the edge of the highway and looked down to Leeper. It's time for the maiden run and it's a little scary. If you've ever been on Leeper street you would know it's only one block long on either side of Washington street.I slid my legs into the car and sat down... the excitement grew, for you see we had no brake in our design. Two of my friends gave me a big shove and down the hill I went. With my legs pinned in, I could not put a foot down to stop, I then realized that thinking things through would have been... better.As I picked up speed the corner was getting close; past readers of this blog may recall my story about the Swann's truck that literally "ditched" all of its ice cream one hot summer day. Again, you might want to revisit that "Gift from Him" for context. The cart would turn... but at this speed things don't work quite the way they are supposed to work.The ditch was deep and the rest is history; we went on to rebuild--- this time with a brake! We never gave up on any of our endeavors, we just tweaked things a little and went forward. I would put my medal roller skates on and we would pull each other with our bikes. We would even hang on the the cars and let them pull us, talk about vibrating feet when that was done!When I talk to kids today, I try to instill into then an excitement for learning and experimentation. For some it comes natural, others just need to be encouraged. We all have heard it said that old dogs can't learn new tricks, that's wrong. We even know how to teach new tricks. DB

Apply your darkest color in a sideways V with our Eye Contour Brush. Highlight above the iris in a medium shade with our Eye Shader Brush. Highlight the brow bone in your lightest shade with our Deluxe Shader Brush. Blend well with a clean brush. It's always a good idea to brush the base powder on the eyelid to even out the skin tone and for sun protection. Don't try to match the eye color with a shadow, since this will only cancel-out the eye. A complementary/contrasting color is what makes the eye pop (e.g., brown/blue). Spritz our eyeliner brush with D2O, Balance or POMMISST and pick up shadow for an eyeliner that stays and stays. If you have red or dark circles, stay away from blue or gray tones. They just accentuate the darkness.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi basketball teams will officially tip off their 2012-13 seasons with the annual Islanders Invasion on Thursday, Oct. 18, the Department of Athletics announced today. The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Dugan Wellness Center on the campus of Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. The event is free to all spectators.
"We're really excited for Islanders Invasion this year," men's basketball coach Willis Wilson said. "Our guys had so much fun last year. It should be a great celebration of Islanders Basketball."
It will be the first Islanders Invasion experience for women's basketball coach Royce Chadwick, who is entering his first season at the helm of the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi program.
"I can't wait to get in front of our fans for the first time at Islanders Invasion," Chadwick said. "I think our fans will see a new mindset from our team this season – our work ethic, our determination, our focus. We're looking forward to a fun night celebrating our university."
Doors open to Islanders Invasion at 7 p.m. The first 600 students through the doors can pick up a Blue Crew shirt and will be able to register for various drawings throughout the evening. Prizes include gift cards to Islanders Corporate Sponsors Schlotzsky's and Atomic Omelette & Grill, Islanders gear and more. One lucky student will also have a shot at a $300 book scholarship.
In addition to 10-minute scrimmages for both the men's and women's basketball teams, the evening will feature performances by the award-winning Islanders Cheer and Dance teams and the Islanders pep band. Both men's and women's players will take part in a 3-point contest, and the always-popular slam dunk contest for the men's team will be another highlight of the evening.
Coach Chadwick and Coach Wilson will also address the crowd at the event, and there will be a meet and greet on the floor following the event.
For all the latest on Islanders Athletics, be sure to follow us on Facebook (GoIslanders) and Twitter (@Go_Islanders).

Remember that season of Sex and the City when Carrie wore huge flowers affixed to her outfits in almost every scene? Okay, well I do. And it's not only because I don't have cable right now and most of what I've been watching is S&TC on DVD… more importantly, it's because this look is a fun, feminine, out-there and cheap way to brighten up any spring outfit.
Over the weekend I wrote a post for All Things Chic on the new florals, from jeans to skirts and shoes. This got me thinking about the other floral, the more-than-floral. The flower. Now, this is not a trend for simple girls. Or wallflower girls. Or girls who don't like attention. But if you're ready to hit the streets of your hometown and receive raves on your accessorizing skills, it's time to hit up your local craft store and get to work.
If you're not up for DIY time, there are plenty of options ready for purchase at our favorite mass retailers. H&M, Urban Outfitters, and Aldo (to name a few) have had some pretty cute, under-$20 flower accessory options prime for the picking recently. But if you want to spend under twenty minutes and WELL under 20 bills, you could make your own flower brooch or headband at home, ensuring that no one else will sport your same look.
Creating your own floral accents is a cinch. Head over to createforless.com and check out their selection of silk flowers. A personal favorite of mine is the PETALOO brand of products. Starting at around $4, you can nab faux blooms to suit your personal style and working-girl budget. All you need is a flower, a pin or headband and some craft adhesive. Get your glue on, girls! And send me photos of yourself sporting your fab new flowers.

Vermont police say the Alaska man who killed an Essex couple used weapons he had buried near a hiking trail along the banks of the Winooski River.
In 2009 Israel Keyes buried a five-gallon orange bucket filled with weapons parts, ammunition, fasteners, wires and a flashlight in a remote corner of the Woodside Natural Area off Vermont 15.
The FBI and police say Keyes used those weapons in June 2011 when he abducted and killed Bill and Lorraine Currier from their nearby home.
The FBI later found the weapons at an upstate New York reservoir.
The 34-year-old Keyes killed himself in an Alaska jail on Sunday. He has admitted killing at least eight people across the country.

Despite its reputation as the most impressive naval force in the world, the U.S. Navy is in trouble, according to the author of this book, and systemic weaknesses could be its undoing. Here, military sociologist Roger Thompson provides a compelling, often scathing, assessment of the U.S. Navy and its learning disabilities and then presents a convincing argument for reform.
Thompson points to the U.S. Navy's "up or out" promotion system, massive personnel turnover, inexperienced crews, and drug and alcohol abuse as problems that make it difficult for the Navy to build cohesive, well-trained fighting units. In a review of the Navy's recent history, he finds that its ships, submarines, and aircraft are often outperformed in competitions and exercises with other navies—and its failures are either denied altogether or perfunctorily excused. Diesel submarines—so quiet that they are rarely detected until it's too late to prevent an attack—routinely surpass expensive U.S. nuclear subs and put U.S. aircraft carriers in danger. American naval pilots, whose weapons are often improperly tested, are frequently bested by military pilots from other countries. Because the U.S. Navy doesn't have enough surface ships to protect its capital ships, American carrier strike groups now use Canadian ships as escorts. Shortcomings like these, Thompson argues, undermine the Navy's potential and should be cause for national concern.
In presenting a side of the U.S. Navy that's rarely discussed, this book spells out lessons the Navy must learn if it is going to succeed in an era of asymmetrical warfare—of David-versus-Goliath conflicts. In his conclusion, the author puts forth a twelve-step program that calls on the U.S. Navy to rethink its naval strategy, to lose some weight, and to focus on the fundamentals.
"Roger Thompson raises crucial questions about choices made by the United States with respect to national defense matters. While readers may not agree with every point made here, due regard for the truth demands that each be critically debated. Thompson questions whether investment in technology and sheer size has come at the expense of investment in tactics, strategy, and war-fighting skills—and shows that other navies are superior." —Guntram F. A. Werther, Homeland Security Defense University
"Thompson has written the most important military reform book in almost a decade and certainly the most important book for the post-20th century U.S. Navy, ever...This book is a slap-in-the-face to make the USN wake up before it's indeed too late since there is no internal constructive criticism taking place now." —Mike Sparks, 1LT, U.S. Army Reserve, editor of Air-Mech-Strike: Asymmetric Maneuver Warfare for the 21st Century
"For nearly a century, the U.S. Navy has been plagued by a self-imposed albatross, an approach to personnel management known as the individual replacement system and the 'up or out' promotion system, also hampered by a force structure developed for warfare of the past and an out-of-date doctrine of mobilization. This has created a culture where only the positive is seen, thus no learning takes place. It encourages a culture of corruption, where only 'yes-men' survive, and adaptation only exists on power point slides. Roger Thompson has conducted a masterpiece of research. Lessons Not Learned tells the story of this self-inflicted wound—how it prevents the Navy as well as the entire U.S. military from evolving and being prepared to fight in the 21st Century." —Donald E. Vandergriff, author ofRaising the Bar
"Professor Roger Thompson is a solid researcher and scholar whose speciality is naval operations and history…His latest book, Lessons Not Learned, is a gang-busters critique of the American navy. I recommended it to the guys at the Naval War College and the Canadian Navy." –Richard A. Gabriel, author of Military Incompetence: Why the American Military Doesn't Win

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Wayne Johnson, who escaped along with four other inmates from the Augusta YDC, has been caught.
The 18-year-old is in the Richmond County Jail and is charged with escape and theft by taking.
News 12 has learned another teen who escaped is being held in the Richmond County Jail, too. Kendrick Johnson, 17, is being charged with theft by taking. We're told Wayne and Kendrick are cousins.
Officials say the three other teens were booked in the Richmond County Jail but have since been moved to RYDC.
News release from the Department of Juvenile Justice:
"Commissioner L. Gale Buckner of the Department of Juvenile Justice is pleased to announce the recapture of 18-year-old escapee Wayne Johnson who escaped along with four other juvenile offenders from the Youth Development Campus in Augusta Friday night.
Johnson, who has been the target of a round-the-clock, multi-agency dragnet in the Augusta and Atlanta Metro areas for the last two days, was arrested shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday by a Richmond County sheriff's deputy.
The deputy was acting on a tip from an off-duty DJJ staff member who recognized Johnson while driving down the street near the intersection of Barton Chapel Rd and Milledgeville Rd in Augusta and flagged down the officer about the sighting.
When confronted by the deputy, Johnson confirmed his identity for the officer and was taken into custody. Johnson was transported to the Richmond County Jail where he will be held on charges of escape and vehicle theft.
Police had been warning the public not to approach the youth who was believed to have driven the stolen getaway car used after the escape from the Augusta YDC. The Department of Juvenile Justice had secured felony warrants for the 18-year-old and a "BOLO" (Be On the Look Out) was issued in Georgia and Florida to alert law enforcement for the escapee.
The other four missing youths were returned to state custody Friday night. None of the youth were from the Augusta area. Local law enforcement agencies in Augusta and DJJ investigators and DJJ SMRT Team officers in Augusta and Atlanta were continuing their fugitive search Sunday at the time Johnson was arrested.
Richmond County sheriff'sdeputies responded to the stolen vehicle report Friday night and apprehended three of the youth following a brief car chase. Two other occupants ran into nearby woods. One of those youth later surrendered to a Department of Corrections canine team. No one was hurt in the round-up.
As a continuing security precaution, the Augusta detention facility remains on lockdown Sunday while investigators verify how the escape occurred. Investigators from the DJJ Office of Investigations in Atlanta are on site at Augusta YDC conducting a facility safety review, examining the campus for security deficiencies and looking for any policy violations which may have contributed to the escape.
The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice once again expresses its appreciation for the extraordinary level of cooperation provided by the Richmond County Sheriff's Office and all other local and state law enforcement agencies that have provided logistics and search assistance in the effort to recapture this escapee."

Felix Verdier owned a silk-stocking manufacturing company in Nimes, France. In 1850 he chartered a ship, Ville de Paris, to bring silks, laces, and fine wines, champagne, and cognac to San Francisco. His ship was met in the Bay by boatloads of newly wealthy 49ers, brandishing bags of gold. As the story goes, he sold all the products before the ship was even docked. Felix Verdier immediately returned to France and reloaded with fresh merchandise destined this time for the store he opened at 152 Kearney Street and named the City of Paris.
The City of Paris became the premier department store in San Francisco. By 1896, a larger store in a Beaux-Arts design featuring an open atrium was built at Stockton and Geary Streets. In 1906, the big earthquake and resulting fires destroyed much of the store's interior. A temporary store was established on Van Ness while the interior was redesigned by John Bakewell and Arthur Brown. Its open atrium was topped with a magnificent stained glass dome depicting the ship, Ville de Paris.
The rebuilt store became a showcase for retailing in San Francisco. It was opulent and continued to be stocked with merchandise of French design and manufacture. The liquor department was well regarded for its French influence as this was before the development of Napa Valley. Brentano's took over the book department and became the largest volume bookstore west of Denver. Every Christmas season, the store set up a beautifully decorated tree in the Atrium. Herb Caen, the San Francisco Chronicle columnist, deemed it the official Christmas tree for San Francisco. Reportedly, he tree was 50 to 60 feet tall.
In the 1960's, the City of Paris' fortunes declined. It was no longer as highly profitable as consumer tastes changed and competitors became stronger. Macy's, for example, had copied the basement theme of the Normandy Lane in the City of Paris and created The Cellar. (Later, Macy's took The Cellar concept to their other stores and divisions.) The Verdier family decided to close the store in 1972. I think there are many who will remember the KFRC radio station studios which were on the first floor so pedestrians could see the studios through the window.
The City of Paris did open suburban branches. They opened one in Vallejo in the 1940's. They also opened boutique shops in some of the better hotels. The branch stores never proved highly successful.
After the closing, Amfac bought the store in San Francisco and converted it to their Liberty House department store division. The new store was called Liberty House at the City of Paris. Liberty House quickly discovered that it was a difficult facility to operate on a profitable basis so they built a new store next door on Stockton Street. They sold the old building to Neiman Marcus who immediately announced plans to demolish the landmark building and replace it with a modern store.
The reaction in San Francisco to the announced destruction of this landmark was unbelievable. Herb Cain, the noted columnist, took on the fight as did many of the citizens of San Francisco. Although the building was not saved, an agreement was reached in which the dome and some of the important historic décor was saved and put into the new store. The replacement store is an important part of the retailing community in San Francisco as the dome has been preserved and Neiman Marcus is a respected retailer. The new fake tree at Christmas, unfortunately, does not meet the standards of the citizens who remember the old City of Paris tree.
What happened???? Many things worked in the favor of the City of Paris. The upscale shopping district moved from Market Street to the Union Square area. Unfortunately, City of Paris remained a small retailer with little market clout. In addition, consumer tastes were changing as apparel brands were becoming strong. American wines were also growing stronger. Most importantly, I. Magnin's was located across the street and had captured the carriage trade. Macy's California was under the leadership of Ed Finkelstein and he upgraded that chain from a promotional value oriented department store to one with style and a healthy upper moderate merchandise mix. He developed The Cellar concept and went after the younger customers with successful Junior and Young Mens departments. Most importantly, the Macy's San Francisco main store was also on Union Square and its excitement drew many customers. I also believe that the succeeding family members did not have the interest or flair to take the store where it needed to go to be competitive.
I remember the City of Paris well. Every back to school season and for many Christmas seasons my family would visit the retail stores in San Francisco. The City of Paris store was something we always had to see even though we could not afford much of the merchandise the store carried. We always came to see the Christmas tree! When I was at Bullock's I would continue to visit the store on trips to San Francisco. I watched the store in decline, but it was still an example to me of a store carrying unique product, with historic design and décor, and with superior customer service.
At the time the building was to be demolished, a colleague from Bullock's was the head of Neiman Marcus. He could not understand why the citizens were so upset since the building was of a design that could not be operated on a profitable level. He did want the location so he worked to a compromise to save the dome and some of the decor. Most older San Franciscan's still cannot accept the outside architecture of the store. To them the new building looks like a typical suburban store (without windows) plopped onto a city corner.
I hope all who shopped or worked at the City of Paris Dry Goods Company will feel free to memorialize their impressions of this beautiful store by writing in the COMMENTS section below.

Saturday's letters: What power
Published: Saturday, November 16, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
To the editor: I am amazed at the number of people opining that Rep. Mark Meadows caused the shutdown with no more than a letter. Wow what power.
With that much power, maybe he should write a letter telling Congress to pass a budget instead of relying on continuing resolutions. Maybe he should write a letter saying we should stop spending more than we are taking in. Maybe he should write a letter asking the administration to explain Benghazi and Fast and Furious. Maybe he should write a letter asking the administration to explain the actions of the IRS.
Maybe he should ask the Justice Department to explain why it is attacking North Carolina for voter fraud but not Pennsylvania, Ohio or Florida. Maybe he can ask the administration to explain why the World War II Memorial and Pisgah Inn were closed during the shutdown but not Andrews Air Force Base golf course or Camp David. Maybe he can ask why more support was sent to keep World War II veterans from the monument honoring them than was sent to protect our ambassadors in Benghazi.
I guess those opposed to Meadows are upset that someone is actually leading for a change. I find it far more refreshing than Kool-Aid.
Joe Guy
What love can do
To the editor: Lets play a game of what if. What if you were the parent of an energetic 6-year-old boy and found that the healthy little guy was actually not as healthy as he looks? What if you were told by doctors that he has a rare kidney dysfunction that must be treated aggressively? If the uncertainty of all this were not enough, your insurance has a high deductible and medical bills are mounting as this precious child requires multiple trips to Childrens Hospital.
As a parent, you do everything in your power to make sure your child receives the care he needs, knowing that you are not able to keep up with mounting bills. What do you do? You alone cannot cope. But as it turns out, you are not alone. You have caring, loving people in a church your mom attends. They plan a fundraiser to try to ease this financial burden.
The church is First Congregational. The fundraiser, Love For Logan, is being held Nov. 23 and features an hour of silent auction, hearty hors doeuvres and a concert. Wont you help by purchasing a ticket for the fundraiser and come see what love can do? Call 828-692-8630.
Jimmie Harris
The worst shape
To the editor: I find the flurry of vitriolic letters against U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows from the Democrats of our community quite flattering.
They actually attribute to one freshman representative the complete shutdown of the United States government!
Would it not be more logical to attribute responsibility to the most powerful man in the world the president of the United States? (Oh wait, that would be Vladimir Putin now.)
America has been suffering from a government shutdown of moral and constitutional principles for five years now. The country is in the worst shape it has been in since the Great Depression. Shall we blame Rep. Meadows for that as well?
The Democrats intelligent hyperbolic arguments (Mark is a bully) are used in order to attract low-information voters. I dont know how much longer such tactics will work people are waking up.
As president of the Henderson County Republican Womens Club, I have watched our membership double over the past year. I hope that now our Democrat friends will start writing about the benefits of the Affordable Care Act that should make for interesting reading.

President, HCRWC

BRECKENRIDGE - A plan to expand and relocate Highway 9 between the hospital and Summit High - once the stuff of distant planning conversations - is now being considered in the near-term.
"Iron Springs is moving along nicely," assistant county manager Thad Noll said of the project Tuesday. "Faster than any of us anticipated."
With new transportation funding available, the Colorado Department of Transportation catapulted the project from the dusty pages of a Summit County wish list into an environmental review, which officials say is going very well.
"We think there're opportunities for recpath connections, less impact to the wetlands, water quality, a wildlife crossing," CDOT engineer Grant Anderson said. "Right now it's gong very well."
The project would reroute Hwy. 9 over the hill between Summit Medical Center and the high school, where the current recpath runs. The recpath, in turn, would be redirected around the more scenic curve by the lake where Hwy. 9 is currently located. The highway realignment would reduce the drive from Frisco to Farmer's Korner by half a mile.
It's one of the final pieces of a multi-year push to have four lanes - two in each direction - from Frisco to Breckenridge, a long-standing goal of local officials.
The portion from Tiger Road to Agape Church was approved for completion this summer.
For transportation officials, improved safety and reduced maintenance costs are also factors helping to elevate the Iron Springs realignment project on the priority list.
"That's the big reason we're pushing it, is we think it's safer than trying to go around that nasty curve," Anderson said.
But it's a change in the transportation department's bookkeeping practices, freeing up new money for a limited period of time, that is making the project possible in the near-term.
The program, known as RAMP, is a collaboration between Gov. John Hickenlooper and CDOT, and is expected to make an additional $300 million available for highway projects in Colorado every year for the next five years.
"(Iron Springs) just happens to fit the criteria for projects that could get those funds," Anderson said. "It's going to fit nicely with the RAMP program."
The project may include an underpass for wildlife near the high school. Local officials are also working to ensure the public still has access to the Dicky day use parking area. Many of the specifics of the project are still being considered.
"One of the things we'll all be interested to know are the details on the restoration," Summit County Commissioner Thomas Davidson said at a meeting Tuesday. "What won't be highway anymore and instead turns into bike path. There are lots of questions - detailed questions - about what it is we're getting."
Many of those questions may not be answered until after the current environmental assessment of the project is complete, likely by this summer. Transportation officials say if the project is approved, plans will be brought to the public for feedback. A design and right-of-way acquisition period will follow, and the project could be under construction in the next year or two.
