BANAUE, Philippines — Deep in cool, lush mountains a world away from the sweltering urban mania of Manila, rice is planted on shimmering green terraces that rise up from valley floors like stairway steps left behind by ancient giants.
Water, flowing down an irrigation network of diverted mountain streams first devised at least 2,000 years ago, forms nurturing pools for young rice stalks tended by natives whose predecessors long ago created this engineering marvel.
The rice terraces stretch for many miles through the Cordillera region of Luzon, the main island of the Philippines, which also is home to Manila. They are called by some the Eighth Wonder of the World and were declared a World Heritage Site in 1995 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Yet they are hardly known in the United States.

On this challenging, hands-on course designed by industry professionals, you'll create advertising from your very first week and become adept at communication through practical, studio-based learning. Simulating the advertising industry, you'll work in art director/copywriter partnerships to devise campaigns for real products in a wide range of media, resulting in a thorough and professional portfolio.
From idea conception to delivery, you'll learn how to work to a client's brief and present your ideas effectively. As a member of Design & Art Direction (D&AD) – the industry's most influential body – the course gives you the opportunity to exhibit your work at the New Blood competition and meet key industry figures, whilst workshops and placements at top international agencies will equip you with the contacts and understanding to win the job you want after graduation.
Based on real agency briefs, you'll undertake the strategic planning, conceptual thinking and execution skills – visual and written – necessary to turn a business objective into an engaging, relevant, coherent campaign. Starting with 'traditional media' (posters, press, radio and TV), the course builds your capabilities to encompass the latest online and social media techniques needed to reach diverse target groups in a dynamic multimedia environment. Identifying and understanding the relevant target audience is critical to a successful campaign, so we'll encourage you to consider the impact of your work within ethical, economic, psychological and socio-political frameworks. You'll also gain the critical understanding which underpins the work of the mature, reflective, professional practitioner.
Students on the course win prestigious awards year after year, in industry competitions including D&AD and YCN.

The sixth annual Kids First Friday will be held tomorrow starting at 5 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. in the mural parking lot across from the Community Arts Center on West Fourth Street.
"Piggy backing" off of the established First Friday downtown each month, Kids First Friday is held on the first Friday in August.
Kids First Friday started as a result of the idea to start collaborating with other service clubs.

Attendees at a previous Kids First Friday visited booths with kid-friendly games and activities. Show, a young girl creates spin art at one of the activities tables.
Shown, attendees of a previous Kids First Friday have fun in an inflatable bounce house as part of the activities. The bounce house will return for children tomorrow.
Mike Barclay, past president of the Kiwanis Club of Williamsport and one of a number of community members who thought of the idea of Kids First Friday, attended a Kiwanis international convention in San Antonio, Texas, in 2006, where a Kiwanis international resolution was passed to "start a spirit of collaboration with other service clubs."
"Basically, we all serve our communities, so let's work together instead of competing with each other. I brought this idea back with me to Williamsport," Barclay said.
Kiwanis members liked the idea, and then the Williamsport Rotary Club, Lions Club, Newberry Lions and Kiwanis Club of Williamsport joined together in a joint project, which has become Kids First Friday.
Chairmen of this year's event are Tony Perrotta of the Salvation Army, and also a member of the Williamsport Rotary Club.
Ultimately, the objective of Kids First Friday is to have a fun community event while also providing a community service.
Their hope is that the event brings even more people downtown and the objective of the event is to inform while also having fun.
According to Barclay, it works.
"Evidently it seems to work, because August has become one of the best attended First Friday events of the year," he said.
"We ask each organization to have an interactive activity for the children. We also encourage each organization to provide information in regards to the services they provide to the community," Barclay said.
Some of these organizations include the Salvation Army, the YMCA, the YWCA, James V. Brown Library, Girl Scouts, ACES, Williamsport Mother's and More, Family Promise, Habitat for Humanity, Lycoming Nursery School, North Central Sight Services, West Branch School, Lycoming-Clinton Breast Feeding Coalition, Lycoming Historical Society, Susquehanna Community Health and Dental Care, Lycoming United Way and the Dewald Foundation.
Some interactive games that will be available for children include face painting, spin wheel art, balloons, bean bag toss and bead bracelets. Additionally, Barclay said, the National Guard will have a military vehicle on display and the City of Williamsport Fire Department will have a fire truck.
"The five main event sponsoring organizations, Kiwanis Club of Williamsport, Kiwanis Club of Loyalsock, Williamsport Rotary, Williamsport Lions Club and Newberry Lions Club, will provide a bounce house and an inflatable basketball hoop for the children to play with," Barclay said.
According to Barclay, any proceeds that exceed underwriting the event will be donated to a children's charity.
Be sure not to miss this event that gives your child an opportunity to explore the arts and interact with other important members of the community who are dedicated to great causes.

After seven years of research, psychologist Thomas Cash says he has learned something: "There's more to the subject of beauty than meets the eye." That, he quickly adds, is not just another cliché. "Beautiful people are perceived as sexier, smarter, happier, more employable and more mentally stable. Being unattractive can place a person in social and economic jeopardy."
Cash, 32, an associate professor at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., once had papers graded with the students' pictures attached. The attractive students not only got better marks, but graders invented excuses for good-looking students with bad papers (e.g., "He just wasn't trying hard" and "She isn't living up to her potential"). In another experiment, Cash submitted résumés with photos to personnel consultants. The best-looking were usually recommended before candidates with identical records. Cash also cites a 1975 study done at the University of Maryland that suggests juries are not so likely to convict attractive defendants as ugly ones.
Bias toward beauty starts early. By 4, children are influenced by it, Cash says. "Writers make bad people grotesque—the wicked stepmother or the witch," he explains. "Good people are beautiful—Cinderella or Snow White."
He categorizes Jacqueline Kennedy's fascination with homely Ari Onassis as "an exchange," a phenomenon that occurs less frequently nowadays. "Beauty and bucks used to be an acceptable match," says Cash, "but as women have gained economic self-sufficiency other qualities, including the attractiveness of a man, have become more important."
Cash believes people generally pick mates and even friends on the same level of attractiveness. There is also surprising unanimity in defining beauty—bright eyes, symmetrical features and a thin to medium build.
"People want a predictable, controllable world," Cash explains. "In the absence of experience with another person, we use whatever information is available to anticipate what that person is going to be like—even if it's only looks. Judgments are made on that basis. The idea is particularly distasteful to Americans, who have the notion all people are created equal." Beauty can have drawbacks, however. In Cash's studies beautiful people are often perceived as self-centered, materialistic and intimidating. But on balance, beauty is almost always more positive than negative.
Cash, who regards himself as moderately handsome ("a 7 on the Bo Derek scale"), grew up on a big chicken farm in Nashville. He recalls one traumatic high school blind date: "She was fat, smelled bad and had braces that looked like half the fences in Texas in her mouth. I had two reactions: 'Wait till I get the guy who fixed me up' and 'God, I bet she catches hell a lot. I better be nice.' "
A job as a shoe salesman got him interested in studying human nature. After graduating from Vanderbilt University, he was steered into beauty research by an adviser while working on his doctorate at George Peabody College.
He lives in a ranch-style house in Norfolk and spends as much time as possible with fiancée Diane Marine, 31 (whom Cash also considers a 7). Both are divorced, and Cash has two children—Tommy, 13, and Benjamin, 8—who visit on holidays.
Cash has already parlayed his research into consulting jobs with the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association and with Clairol. "I want to find out if using cosmetics improves a person's self-image," Cash says. Nonetheless, he cautions, never underestimate the success potential of the ungorgeous. "Look," he says, "at John Belushi."

Girl Scouts of South Carolina – Mountains to Midlands gathered some of its supporters at its Friends of Girl Scouts Information Social at the Aiken County Historical Museum on March 6.
Rose Butler, Beverly Clyburn, BethAnne Farrell, Carolyn Heffner, Jeanne Martin, Kathy Monahon, Becky Robbins, Betty Ryberg, Betty Thomason and Kathy Wise worked together to host the event.
The Aiken area was supported by the Girl Scouts Central Savannah River Council of Augusta until May 1, 2008.
At that time, it was part of the three counties that left to join the newly aligned Girl Scouts of South Carolina – Mountains to Midlands council to form the current 22-county jurisdiction.
Guests were updated on the evolution of Girl Scouting while it maintains its heritage.
Opening remarks were given by board members Debbie Reed, senior human resources representative at Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, and Willie R. Bell, manager of equal employment opportunity and diversity at Savannah River Nuclear Solutions LLC.
President and Chief Executive Officer Kim Hutzell reviewed the history of Girl Scouting in the area and gave an overview of the council's future direction.
"Girl Scouting in our area has helped so many girls achieve their potential while serving their schools, churches and communities. We are delighted to learn of the council's plans to create properties of destination that offer girls the leadership opportunities and program experiences they can't get anywhere else," Reed said.
Girl Scouts of South Carolina – Mountains to Midlands serves 12,400 girls in grades K5 through 12th grade and 5,100 adults in 22 counties in South Carolina, including Abbeville, Aiken, Anderson, Cherokee, Chester, Edgefield, Fairfield, Greenville, Greenwood, Kershaw, Lancaster, Laurens, Lexington, McCormick, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Richland, Saluda, Spartanburg, Sumter and Union.
For those who are interested in learning more about becoming involved with Girl Scouts, call LaTanza Duncan, chief advancement officer, at 800-849-4475 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

(Not A-listed so if you want me to know then you have to tell me.)
Now retired I've become more active. Enjoy visiting and exploring different culture, their art, architecture, their hero's, their events and their normalcy. Prefer to attend a specific event, usually involving music, dance, bicycling, walking and hiking, skiing, touring, then staying longer to explore. Enjoy all types of arts, the visual at galleries, museums, studios, and particularly outdoor sculpture, and architecture. Music, more at clubs and outdoors than at sit down concerts.
Love doing things in the outdoors, heat or cold, sunny or snowing. The specific activities come and go. Presently getting back to bicycling after a few year break. Both mountain and road bicycles, recently have used the road more. Back to alpine skiing after being bored with it a few years back. But now the best is new places never skied. Cross country, snowshoe, hiking, bicycling. Have given up a few things but there is always so much more.
Activity is good but so is relaxation. Recently liking bright hot beaches to lounge but with other distractions. Music, food, good wine and good beer. Road trips with a similar minded companion. A dream is to road trip Europe.
Now there are projects, long put off while working and never having enough time for the projects and play, I typically chose play. Now remodeling my home with, colors, textures and spaces. Converting the previous pool to an exceptional outdoor living area.
My views on life, religion, politics, and the human condition are on the liberal side and pragmatic leaning to leaving the earth and its inhabitants richer and happier. Try to not be in the past, look forward to the future and the progress it will bring. Religion springs from imagination and control. Am conflicted about monogamy, just don't see restrictions as an ideal way to relate to a partner, while wanting the loyalty of both to each.
Studying how to earn more money from investments.
Revisiting and exploring passions, art, language, travel.
Seeking a companion for some to all these activities and pursuits.
I am Adventurous, Intellectual, Distracted
Studying: French, investments, and whatever needs to be accomplished at the moment.
Enjoying life with old and new activities
PBS, NPR, and talk shows, typically listening, while multitasking. .
Rarely go to movies, physically uncomfortable sitting for long periods, unless they really get my attention. Sometimes Netflixs or on-line.
Eat light and healthy, seafood, chicken, fruits and vegetables. Succumb to pastries, pasta, and beer. Moroccan, Indian, Thai, black beans, red meat on occasion.
Mostly all live music but not sit down concerts. If it has a beat then I will dance, if it doesn't have a beat I may fall asleep. Blues, Jazz, Cuban, Tango, Zydeco, Bluegrass, folk, Tango, Opera, and something new.
Learning (on-line)
Passport and travel
Rich dark coffee.
Home improvements.
So much to do! Life too is short.

NEW YORK - Andy Pettitte keeps rewarding Joe Torre's faith with big October wins.
Ever since Pettitte beat Atlanta 1-0 in Game 5 of the 1996 World Series, the New York Yankees manager has been convinced the left-hander is one of baseball's top pressure pitchers.
On Thursday night, Pettitte was tough again, pulling New York even in a playoff series for the second time in eight days.
Pettitte struggled early but then held down Boston's bashing batters, and Nick Johnson fought through a slump with a go-ahead, two-run homer in a 6-2 victory against Boston in Game 2 of the American Leaague championship series.
"It was a struggle for me all night," Pettitte said. "I had to make a lot of big pitches tonight. I was very fortunate tonight to get through the first two innings."
Seven of Boston's first nine batters reached base, but the Red Sox failed to score after loading the bases in the first and got only one run in the opening two innings despite six hits.
New York, coming off a 5-2 loss in the opener, went ahead on Johnson's homer in the second against Derek Lowe and opened a 4-1 lead by the fifth. Pettitte made it stand up, tying Tom Glavine for second on the all-time list with his 12th postseason win, one behind John Smoltz.
"He really came up big when they were on the bases and made some tough pitches when he was behind in the count," said Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, who added a two-run double in the seventh against Scott Sauerbeck.
Jose Contreras followed with four straight outs, and Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth. The three combined to hold the Red Sox to four hits over the final seven innings.
Yanks 6, Red Sox 2
Key Stat: Nick Johnson hits a go-ahead two-run homer in the second.
The Series: Series tied 1-1.
Game 3: New York (Clemens 17-9) at Boston (Martinez 14-4), 3:18 p.m. Saturday.
TV/Radio: KCIT-TV 3 p.m.; KPUR (1440-AM), 2:45 p.m.
"The game was determined there in the first two innings," Boston manager Grady Little said. "He got into a rhythm after that, and the rest is history."
The best-of-seven series resumes Saturday in Fenway Park, where former Red Sox great Roger Clemens pitches in Boston for the final time, opposed by current Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez.
Yankee Stadium fans serenaded Boston with chants of "We want Pedro" and "1918" during the ninth, a reminder of how long it's been since the Red Sox last won the World Series.
"It was all right. That game was good," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. "We've got a very good team."
Still, Steinbrenner wouldn't say publicly whether New York will win the AL pennant for the fifth time in six seasons.
"I'm not making any predictions," he said.
Pettitte, 12-7 in the postseason, knows each start this month could be his last for the Yankees because he's eligible for free agency after the World Series.
After New York lost the first-round opener to Minnesota last week, the 31-year-old left-hander pitched them to victory in Game 2, starting a run of three straight wins that put the Yankees back in the ALCS after a one-year absence.
Against Boston, he fell behind in the count to five of his first six batters. Gabe Kapler singled leading off the game but was caught stealing by Posada as Bill Mueller struck out. Boston then loaded the bases on singles by Nomar Garciappara and Manny Ramirez (his fifth straight hit), and a walk to David Ortiz. But Pettitte got out of trouble when Kevin Millar popped out.
"He was really wound up," Torre said.
Jason Varitek doubled leading off the second, and scored on singles by Trot Nixon and Damian Jackson. Then, after pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre visited the mound, Kapler bounced into a double play and Mueller grounded out.

Lobbying couldn't keep Hall of Fame game
Kristian Connolly tried every curveball, slider, knuckler and fastball he knew to save it, but baseball's annual Hall of Fame Game is history.
Connolly's mighty one-man lobbying blitz couldn't stave off the demise of the annual Cooperstown, N.Y., tradition any more than its fans could stop the rain that washed out the last-ever Hall of Fame Game this summer.
Story Continued Below
"We've made up our mind that this is the right way to go and … is better for the fans and, ultimately, we believe better for the Hall of Fame and Cooperstown," said Major League Baseball President Bob DuPuy, explaining the decision to pull the plug.
In the end, Connolly, a Cooperstown native with fond memories of the game, may have learned a lesson that eventually comes to all Washington lobbyists: Persuasion is best accompanied by a bit of leverage.
"Unfortunately," he said, "they hold all the cards, so their opinion matters most right now."
Still, Connolly's attempt to save the game got the attention of Washington players.
He's not a registered lobbyist, but he manages communications for the Humane Society Legislative Fund. He used to work in PR and was a scout for the Minnesota Twins.
His quest began shortly after baseball's announcement in January that this year's Hall of Fame Game would be the last.
Connolly launched a one-man grass-roots lobbying campaign that grew from a small website to a movement that mobilized some 1,700 fans, drew the interest of some of the nation's largest newspapers and landed the support of some of New York's most powerful lawmakers.
All the attention and letter writing earned Connolly a face-to-face meeting with DuPuy and Jeff Idelson, president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, during last month's Hall of Fame induction ceremony weekend.
"It shows the kind of impact people can have if they collectively come together and work toward the same goal," Connolly said. "The best thing about what we're doing here is just being fans reacting to a decision that we don't like."
What Connolly and his supporters didn't like was baseball's decision to eliminate a game that has brought two professional ball clubs to Cooperstown's historic Doubleday Field for decades.
The game dates to about 1940 and for most of its history was played the same weekend that baseball's greats were inducted into the Hall of Fame. The tradition helped lure thousands of tourists to the Village of Cooperstown to grab a $12 ticket that put fans no farther than 25 rows from the action, Connolly said.
"To have that experience and do it affordably is unheard of," he said.
The game was worth saving, Connolly argued, because it helped fuel the village's tourism economy and preserved a piece of Americana etched in the memories of many as sepia-colored nostalgia.
The Hall of Fame Game is one of Rep. Michael Arcuri's first childhood memories. The New York Democrat grew up about 40 miles from Cooperstown and remembers meeting the bus that carried the Major Leaguers into town and snagging the autograph of Minnesota Twin Tony Oliva.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The final lap of Sunday's race at the Kansas Speedway wasn't about points or the Chase for the Championship. For Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards, it was about just one thing - winning.
Sprint Cup Playoffs
Standings after 3 of 10 races
1. Jimmie Johnson 5,575
2. Carl Edwards 5,565
3. Greg Biffle 5,545
4. Jeff Burton 5,454
5. Kevin Harvick 5,439
6. Jeff Gordon 5,432
7. Clint Bowyer 5,411
8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 5,385
9. Matt Kenseth 5,383
10. Denny Hamlin 5,332
11. Tony Stewart 5,320
12. Kyle Busch 5,264
The top-two drivers in the playoff rankings changed the lead three times in the final half mile. Johnson led going into the third turn; Edwards passed and bounced into the third turn wall; Johnson then got back in front to win the Camping World RV 400 by four car lengths.
While most drivers in the Chase were counting every point, the two leaders risked it all during a dramatic final lap dash that left everyone gasping.
"I wanted to win here more than any other place," said Edwards, who grew up 125 miles away in Columbia, Mo. "I didn't come here to finish second."
Edwards knew his final-lap pass would probably send his Ford into the outside wall. What he hoped for, however, was a glancing blow that would allow him to stay ahead of Johnson during the final quarter-mile sprint.
He had practiced that move many times on computer games, but in real life -and at 170 mph - it didn't work as well.
"I knew if I gave him the slide job, I'd either come real close to hitting the wall or I'd hit it," Edwards said.
"I didn't plan on hitting it that hard. I didn't plan on it slowing me down as much as it did.
"That was as hard as I could go."
Johnson's Chevrolet came to life in the final 161 laps.
So did Edwards. Between the two, they combined to lead 139 of the final 161 laps, with Johnson leading the final 48.
Johnson was 15 car lengths ahead with two laps remaining. All of a sudden, it got interesting when Edwards erased the deficit by moving inches away from the outside wall.
"Where did he come from? I thought I was in great shape with two to go, then all of a sudden the (No.) 99 (Edwards) was on top of me," Johnson said. "I was in awe how hard he drove it in there and bounced the wall. Then he got back on the gas while he was hitting the wall.
"I can't explain how shocked I was to see him bomb it in there like that. I couldn't believe he'd slide-job me with that much conviction."
A slide job is when a driver drops below the leader and uses so much momentum in the pass that the car washes up toward the outside wall.
Edwards learned how to do it by driving dirt track cars around Missouri and Kansas; Johnson learned it driving off-road races in the desert.
Johnson's experience allowed him to let Edward finish the pass, then get back in front while Edwards tried to regain control.
"He went by so fast, I quickly realized he wasn't going to make it," Johnson.
"I wanted to make sure I had my car pointed straight for a drag race to the line."
As Johnson took the checkered flag, Greg Biffle passed Jeff Gordon in the fourth turn to finish third. Like the battle ahead, Biffle momentarily put aside his spot in the playoffs for the thrill of a close finish.
"I wish I could have made my car a little better so I could get up there (with Johnson and Edwards," Biffle said.
Gordon wound up fourth, followed by Matt Kenseth in fifth, Kevin Harvick in sixth, Jeff Burton in seventh, David Ragan in eighth, A.J. Allmendinger in ninth and Elliott Sadler in 10th. The top seven cars drivers are in the Chase, as were 11th-place Denny Hamlin, 12th-place Clint Bowyer and 13th-place Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Kyle Busch's problems continued with a 28th-place finish, while Tony Stewart dropped to 11th place in the rankings by finishing 40th.
Busch had a piece of paper stuck in his air filter early in the race, while Stewart was knocked through the infield grass by Brian Vickers.
Johnson has won the last two championships by consistently stockpiling top-10 finishes. Going back to the 2006 season, Johnson has 16 top-10 finishes in his last 19 Chase races. Fifteen of those races ended with top-five finishes - and six with wins.
Finishes of second, fifth and first has helped Johnson take a 10-point lead over Edwards and a 30-point lead over Biffle.
All three have nothing but top-five finishes in the Chase.
"At this rate, it's going to take somebody having bad luck," Johnson said. "You're not going to run over somebody."

OK, so as I write this I'm mad at Kerry. Really irked. Seriously. And that's kind of the point.
No, not that I'm irritated about the recurring "Do you really need to use the credit card, Patty?" chant steadily streaming from my husband's lips.
Oh, incidentally, the answer is, "Well, I was going to stuff some cash in the beak of a carrier pigeon but, no, no, just to be safe, I'd better not."
No, it's the fact that, despite the many "hmpfs" we cause one another, I want to dedicate today's column to my honey - because exactly 46 years ago today in Franklin County, he came into the world.
So, I thought the least I could do for the father of my child, the man who's been my spouse for the past 16 1/2 years, and the person who has been drying my tears and bringing home my extra-large Dunkin' Donuts coffee since 1994 was give him a little shout out on his birthday.
Others had similar ideas, including my in-laws.
My father-in-law Donald reminded me that my mother-in-law often remarks how, if Kerry was their first-born, he may have been an only child.
"Not to mention all the times he'd try to get his mom, a teacher at his elementary school, to get him out of jams. She sent him straight to the office every time," he laughed.
My sister-in-law Kim joined in on the good-natured ribbing.
"As the youngest of us, he always has been and remains the subject of many a family joke, especially the inference that we found him along the roadside as a baby."
She quickly set the record straight. "Actually, he is a brother I feel so blessed to have. He got me through some of my toughest times and I send much love from his favorite sister," she said.
She is, of course, his only sister.
Nevertheless, Dad K. reiterated the feeling. "We're so very, very proud of him. He's such a wonderful son."
My own folks think Kerry's pretty OK, too, I suppose.
"Kerry is caring and dependable - a loving and devoted husband and father who has made our daughter very happy. He is always there when his family needs him. We are proud to call him 'son,'" said me mum.
BTW, she and Dad hardly ever grant my request for quotes. Half hmpf to that.
My sis Gina said Kerry's her favorite brother-in-law on our side of the family, which is only funny because he's her only one on our side.
Like the others, she quickly turned serious.
"Honestly, though, he's such a great husband. His commitment to my sister and nephew and his incredible faith is something to be admired."
My oldest childhood friend Michelle Coppola of Lowellville said to me, "Kerry is so sweet and funny - and he showed you what true love is and made you the happiest I've ever seen you, and I'll always be grateful to him for that," she gushed before threatening his life if ever he hurts me.
That's my girl.
Speaking of my girls, another, my buddy Chris Ruggieri of Warren, recalled her first glimpse of my husband via a photo I showed her when we worked together.
"We ladies all remarked about his movie-star looks now time is proving both of our husbands get cuter with each passing year," said my sweetie gal pal.
She added that our good-lookin' boys have grown into even better men over time.
True story.
Then there's Kerry's close pal and former co-worker Greg Thomas of Connecticut who said that, in addition to being a terrific friend, Kerry has mad talent.
"He is a world-class editor, videographer and motion graphics guru. You can take a bad idea to Kerry, and he will make it look good. You can take a great idea to Kerry, and he will make it better," he said, among other kind things.
All accurate, according to his objective wife.
Best endorsement of all? From our 12-year-old son, Kyle.
"What I'd like to say about him is that if I could give him the 'Dad of the Year' award I would. Every year."
Happy Birthday, Ker Bear. I love you!
But I'm still using the credit card.

Sterling Market Open for Business
The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremony for Johnson's Sterling Market was held on Thursday, October 3, beginning at 11 a.m. A number of local and state officials spoke at the event, including Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin.

The long wait for the return of a grocery store in Johnson is at an end. A ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony was held at Johnson's Sterling Market on Thursday, October 3. The event was attended by over 50 local community members, and Governor Peter Shumlin was present for the ceremony. Johnson had been without a grocery store since 2011, when the former Grand Union was flooded by spring rains and closed permanently.
Sterling Market had a soft opening on Tuesday, October 1, and according to owner Mike Comeau, who also owns the Richmond Market and the Village Market of Waterbury, his new store saw roughly 2,000 customers and visitors come through the doors in its first two days of business.
The new store is only open due to a large collaborative effort by local, regional, and state officials and agencies, Mike Comeau himself, and the team at Pomerleau RealEstate, which owns the building. Extensive renovations and remodeling to both the inside and outside of the building were made before the reopening, and all new equipment was brought in. The remodeling resulted in a store that looks entirely different from the Grand Union that was flooded in 2011. The only area of the store that even remains in the same location is the deli.
The grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on October 3 kicked off with a welcome by Ernie Pomerleau of Pomerleau Real Estate.
"You've invested so much into your community, and without a supermarket it was like not having a heart… I've never seen so much collaboration and so much support. This is a phenomenal success," stated Pomerleau.
Following Pomerleau's remarks, Governor Peter Shumlin, who was also present this spring when a ceremony announcing plans for the new store was held, made his own comments.
"This is about Vermont Strong – when floods hit, when disaster hits, we're going to rebuild our community better than how that storm found us," stated Governor Shumlin during his address at the event, "A huge thank you to this community… now let's buy local every single time."
Shumlin also stated in his remarks that the biggest thanks for the reopening of the store should go to the local boards, commissions, and citizens who would not let flooding take away the heart of their community.
"…It was really you that made this possible," he remarked.
After the remarks by Governor Shumlin Vermont Secretary of Commerce and Community Development Lawrence Miller spoke along with Johnson Municipal Manager Duncan Hastings, Johnson Selectboard Chair Eric Osgood, and Johnson Village Trustees Chair Gordon Smith. Each of the speakers explained that getting a grocery store back was giving new life to the town and profusely thanked the Pomerleaus, Mike Comeau, the state, and the local community for their work in reopening the grocery store.
Antonio Pomerleau, the 96-year old founder of Pomerleau Real Estate, first purchased the lot the new store sits on 50 years ago. He also addressed the crowd and gave his compliments on the renovations of the store.
"The store is far superior to what I thought it would be," he explained.
The final speaker at the event was the owner of the new store, Mike Comeau. He expressed his thanks to all involved with the renovation project and to the community for their support.
"The community really supported me the first day… I look forward to staying here for a long time, and giving you guys the store that you're looking for, "explained Comeau, "If there's anything we can do to make the store better, please let me know – I'll be around Johnson a lot."
Following Comeau's remarks came the event everyone had been waiting for – the official ribbon cutting. Taking part in the cutting where Antonio Pomerleau, Governor Shumlin, Secretary Miller, Comeau, Duncan Hastings, Eric Osgood, and Gordon Smith.
Following the ribbon cutting all in attendance were invited inside to see the new store, and a variety of free samples were given out.
Funding for the start-up costs for the work at the new store came from a number of sources, including a Community Development Block Grant, the Vermont Economic Development Agency, the Village of Johnson, the Lamoille Economic Development Corporation, People's United Bank, Pomerleau Real Estate, and the Associated Grocers of New England.
The Morrisville Fire Department and Morristown Rescue were called to a home on Randolph Road last Monday, September 30, to aid a horse thats hooves had gone through a pool cover. With the help of Dr. David Sequist and Polar Bear Towing the horse was saved! Smith photo

Firefox 4 is the best Firefox yet, and it's packed with useful tricks and features that can make your online life easier.
From complete control over tabs to better bookmarking, these Firefox 4 tips will help you make the most of it.
1. Keep on top of tabs
Keyboard shortcuts in Firefox 4 make tab management simple: Ctrl-T opens a new tab, Ctrl-W shuts it and Ctrl-Shift-T goes "oops, didn't mean to close that one" and re-opens the tab you've just closed.
On the Mac, use the Cmd key rather than Ctrl. Middle-clicking with the mouse opens the currently selected link in a new tab. No middle mouse button? Ctrl-clicking has the same effect.
2. Use the keyboard to move around
Getting around Firefox's new interface is simple. Ctrl-L takes you to the location bar, Ctrl-K to the search box, the space bar scrolls down and shift-space scrolls back up again. Hold down the Alt key and then use the left arrow to go back a page and the right arrow to go forwards (on the Mac, Cmd-arrow works too). Ctrl-R reloads the current tab.
3. Start in safe mode
If you think an extension is messing with your browser, restart in safe mode by clicking on Help > Restart With Add-ons Disabled. As you'd expect, this restarts Firefox without any add-ons.
4. Save sites fast
To bookmark the current page, simply click on the star icon in the location bar or press Ctrl-D. Ctrl-Shift-B brings up the bookmarks library.
5. Find favourites faster with tags
This is really useful: in the Bookmarks Library, click on a bookmark and enter something in the Tags field (or click on the star icon in the location bar and enter tags in the pop-up menu that appears). For example, you might add the tag "awesome" to your Techradar bookmark. Once you've done that, entering a tag in the location bar shows any bookmarks with that tag - so typing "awesome" would display the TR bookmark.
TAG IT: Adding tags when you bookmark a page enables you to search using those tags in future
6. Sync your stuff
Firefox 4 can sync bookmarks, passwords and even open tabs across different machines. To set it up, go into Preferences > Sync and click on Create A New Account. You'll need to enter an email address and a password here. Firefox encrypts your stuff so passers-by can't access it, and the Sync setup will create a unique key for you. Take a note of it: you'll need to provide the key so that Firefox can decrypt your data on another machine.
7. Zoom in and out quickly
Another trio of useful keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl and the Plus sign zooms in, Ctrl and minus zooms out, and Ctrl and zero resets to 100%.
8. Search instantly
Looking for something in a hurry? Hit the slash key ("/"), type what you're looking for and the cursor automatically jumps to that point on the currently opened page.
FIND IT: Hit the slash key for instant in-page searching: the cursor will highlight matches as you type
9. Put folders on the Bookmarks Bar
In the Bookmarks Library, organise groups of bookmarks into folders: just select the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click and select New Folder - or just right-click over the Bookmarks toolbar and select New Folder there. Give it a sensible name and drag existing bookmarks into it; to add a new one, double-click the star icon in the Location Bar and select the appropriate folder from the pop-up menu.
FILE IT: Organising bookmarks into folders on the Bookmarks Toolbar is a good way to keep favourites handy
10. Tame your search history with Smart Folders
If you keep forgetting what you've read, Smart Folders will happily come to the rescue. Bring up your browser history, type your search term(s) and then click on the Save button. This stores the search in your Bookmarks Menu (you can move it like any other bookmark) and runs the search again when you click it.
11. Turn tabs into app tabs
One of our favourite features in Firefox 4 is its Chrome-style App Tabs, which take the idea of pinned tabs and improve it: when you make a tab into an App Tab, its tab glows when it's updated - so for example you might make Gmail or Google Reader into an App Tab to get them out of the way without missing any updates. Simply right-click on the tab and choose Pin as App Tab.
TAB IT: App Tabs enable you to pin apps such as your email out of the way. App Tabs glow when updated
12. Make App Tabs open automatically
Once you've pinned your app tabs, right-click on the tab and choose Bookmark All Tabs. If you want the current tab layout to launch whenever you run Firefox, go into Preferences > General and click on Use Bookmark to change the default home page.
13. Create Tab Groups
If you often find yourself with too many open tabs, organise them into groups. Once you've opened a bunch of tabs, click on the Tab Groups button at the top right of the browser. You'll see Firefox's interface change to a collection of thumbnails.
By default Firefox 4 puts everything into one group; to create another group simply draw it in the blank grey area using the mouse, or drag a thumbnail out of the group into that area. Unfortunately Tab Groups are a per-session feature: while you can get them back after a restart with the Restore Previous Session option, you can't currently save your groups to access them in the future.
GROUP IT: Tab Groups help tame tab overload by enabling you to create multiple groups of open tabs
14. Change the search engine
Fed up with Google or just quickly need to query Amazon? Click on the drop-down next to Google's logo in the search box and you'll see a range of available search engines. Just click on one to choose it. Clicking Manage Search Engines enables you to remove, re-order or add more search engines to the list.
15. Type to switch tabs
Instead of scrolling through dozens of open tabs, quickly find the one you want by starting to type the page's title or domain name. A little "switch to tab" option appears in the suggestions box; select it to switch.

5 out of 5 stars Cellulaze
Second round of Cellulaze, waiting for visible results...again.
Dr. Decorato was great - he answered all my questions and explained everything as it was being done. Once I went home I had a few more questions and even though he was no longer in the office he called me within 10 mins to make sure I was feeling ok (I was in pain when I left) and to answer my questions. One of the days I went it I did wait a really long time, but my apointment was later in the day so I would say the earlier you go in the quicker you will be seen - otherwise be prepaired for a wait. The staff is all very sweet as well.

Dr. Decorato did an amazing job on my breasts, I am only 10 days post op so I have a lot of healing to do, but I am 1000% satisfied. I have had 22 medical surgeries in the past and Dr. Decorato is the first doctor who ever personally called me the night of my surgery to see how I was feeling. I think he is thorough, caring and extremely honest which made me feel very comfortable having him do my procedure.

Also, His staff is so kind and understanding. Please do your homework and know if you pick Dr. Decorato, you will be making the right choice.

Hypoxanthine - guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) is a purine salvage enzyme that plays a key role in the regulation of purine metabolism in man. Interest in this X-linked enzyme stems, in part, from the existence of two clinical syndromes associated with deficiency of HPRT enzyme activity. In 1967, Seegmiller et al1 described a virtually complete deficiency of HPRT activity in patients with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by an overproduction of uric acid as well as a bizarre constellation of neurologic and behavioral abnormalities, including mental retardation, spasticity, choreoathetosis, and a compulsive form of self-mutilation. A partial deficiency of HPRT was subsequently demonstrated in several male patients who presented with hyperuricemia and a severe form of gout at an early age.2 This latter group of patients is usually free of the central nervous system manifestations that characterize the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, although an occasional patient with partial HPRT deficiency

WYOMING, MI — Big-box retail giant Walmart is nearing groundbreaking on a new store just off U.S. 131 at 54th Street SW, according to Wyoming city officials.
The retailer was approved in March for an 183,000-square-foot Supercenter store at 325 54th St. SW, adjacent to an existing Home Depot store.
"It should be under construction shortly," said Tim Cochran, Wyoming city planner, who is expecting project engineers to receive building permits soon.
The project has a $10.5 million construction value, according to permit applications, said Cochran. The 18-acre site was formerly home to a VKW Hardwoods lumber yard, half of which was redeveloped into the Home Depot and outlots about 10 years ago.
The site is located just across U.S. 131 from a Meijer at 54th and Clyde Park Avenue SW.
Plans on file with the city include two outlots that could be developed into restaurant or retail uses, although no tenants have been identified. The land was rezoned from industrial to commercial usage late last year.
Plans call for 657 parking spaces, a 3,580-square-foot outdoor garden area and a drive-though pharmacy window. The one-story store would be set back by 660 feet from 54th Street, roughly flush with the front of the Home Depot, said Cochran.
According to documents, some soil contamination remediation will be necessary. Primary engineer on the project is CESO Inc. of Lansing.
See a blueprint of planned Wyoming Walmart
Cochran said some residents living near the site expressed concerns about impact on surrounding business from the store, but "it was not a large outpouring," he said. "Overall, approval went very smoothly."
Plans for a Walmart in Whitehall Township in Muskegon County have been met with opposition from residents in the White Lake area, who contend the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer would threaten local independent retailers and change the nature of the small lakeside community.
The Wyoming store would be the fourth Walmart in Kent County. Other locations in the Grand Rapids area include 3999 Alpine Ave. NW in Alpine Township, 5859 28th St. SE in Cascade Township, and 4542 Kenowa Ave. SW in Grandville.
The retailer also has stores in the Holland, Hastings, Ionia, Greenville, Grand Haven, Muskegon and Fremont areas.
Walmart Supercenters include a grocery department, garden center, pet shop, pharmacy, tire center, photo lab and alcove shops.

EAST RUTHERFORD -- One more time, for this year at least.
The Giants are back at it on Saturday afternoon in the NFL Draft with four picks from rounds 4-6. The Giants have two selections in the fifth round (one is a compensation pick) and none in the seventh (that went to Carolina for Jon Beason). It should be a busy day.
(HITS AND MISSES: Check out the gallery above of recent Giants' second-round selections.)
1. Round 1, Pick #12
WR Odell Beckham Jr. (LSU)
2. Round 2, Pick #43
C Weston Richburg (Colorado St.)
3. Round 3, Pick #74
DT Jay Bromley (Syracuse)
4. Round 4, Pick #113
5. Round 5, Pick #152
6. Round 5, Pick #174 (compensatory selection)
7. Round 6, Pick #187
S Brock Vereen (Minnesota)
Smart, high character free safety/nick corner who also brings a lot on special teams. Fits well with what the Giants have been trying to do in this year's draft.
• WR Brandon Coleman (Rutgers)
Big, tall, physical player who played collegiately just 40 miles or so south of the Giants facility. Could be too talented to pass early in the fourth round if his medicals checked out.
• DE Larry Webster (Bloomsburg)
Former basketball player is a rare athlete who could develop into a major pass-rushing threat. He has 13.5 sacks last season, and would be a good, late-round project.
• Here are my best available players (not specifically for the Giants) for rounds 4-7
• Giants Visit List -- Here are the players we heard visited and worked out for the Giants over the past few months in the pre-draft process

Presentations may consider any aspect of the history of New York State over the past 400 years. Diverse theoretical perspectives and innovative methodological approaches are welcomed. Papers on New York City-based topics are strongly encouraged.
* What is the Conference?
The Conference on New York State History is an annual meeting of academic and public historians, librarians and archivists, educators, and publishers who come together to discuss topics and issues related to the people of New York State in historical perspective and to share information and ideas regarding historical research, programming, and the networking of resources and services. Ten to fifteen presentation sessions, workshops, and a keynote address permit more than fifty individuals to take part in the formal program. Special consideration is accorded first-time presenters, graduate students, and local government historians. The conference is self-sustaining and is organized by a committee of historians from a variety of institutions across the state.
Interested parties are encouraged to discuss proposals and any conference-related ideas with Field Horne, the conference chair (e-mail preferred). The Program Committee will meet to consider proposals in mid-January. Applicants will be notified immediately thereafter.
* Special features of the 2007 conference
Sessions intended for teachers and usable for in-service credit will be offered this year. Thursday will begin with an optional full-day workshop, "Doing Community History," presented by the Upstate History Alliance (UHA), or afternoon tours to Hyde Hall or the Iroquois Indian Museum, followed in the early evening by guided walking tours of the village or a guided cruise on the Glimmerglass Queen. Following the last sessions on Saturday participants may elect to spend the afternoon visiting the Farmers Museum or Hanford Mills at East Meredith, an extraordinary nineteenth-century industrial site.
* What to submit:
All proposals must be received by December 31, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. A proposal should be a one-page description of each presentation—not the full manuscript—and must include the following information: paper and/or session titles, names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of all participants, and all equipment needs and scheduling requests. (We encourage presenters to avoid PowerPoint unless presenting visual evidence as part of their papers.) It should also briefly discuss sources, methodology, and argument. All program participants are required to register for the conference.
