Flows that cannot be controlled by the mountain reservoirs, as well as winter releases through the powerplants, are diverted from Weber river at the Slaterville Diversion dam west of Ogden and carried eight miles north in the Willard Canal to Arthur V. Watkins Reservoir. The earth-lined canal has an initial capacity of 1,050 cubic feet per second. About five miles from the canal heading, a turnout diverts water into the Plain City Canal, a privately owned irrigation system.
Twelve miles northwest of Ogden on the shore of the Great Salt Lake, Arthur V. Watkins Dam is an offstream structure with a structural height of 36 feet. The dam is about 14.5 miles long in a rough rectangle, contains about 17 million cubic yards of material, and encloses a reservoir of 215,120 acre-foot capacity. Its siphon spillway has a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet per second. The 300-cubic-foot-per-second capacity outlet works functions only as a reservoir drain.
During the irrigation season, water can be pumped by Willard Pumping Plants No. 1 and No. 2 back through the Willard Canal from Arthur V. Watkins Reservoir to Slaterville Diversion Dam and on into the Layton Pumping Plant intake channel for irrigation of lands lying along the shores of Great Salt Lake.

I am currently a Junior and after being rejected from the NC Governor's School (rank wasnt high enough) I've decided to look into other summer programs. I had pretty much decide on going to the Carnegie Mellon Pre College program and earn college credit in a real college environment. Then today in the mail I was informed that I am nominated from my school to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicince. The two programs have conflicting times so I am forced to choose only one. In your opinion, which do you think colleges would like to see more pre-college or the forum.
Thanks guys.
|By Chemyst (Chemyst) on Sunday, March 21, 2004 - 08:04 pm: Edit
Earning college credit in a college environment is overrated. Go to your local university if you want that.
I had the same option of going to the NYLF on Medicine. My parents made me refuse because they wouldn't let me earn the money. *huh?* I still wish to this very day that I had gone.
My advice: go to NYLF......

I had a friend that went to the NYLF - it's not that great...I got nominated for the technology one...didn't go...went to harvard ssp instead...best choice of my life.
|By Ifonly (Ifonly) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 07:54 pm: Edit
Zillions of people get the National Youth Leardership Conference stuff! ....it is a gimmick... highly overrated. We thought we were special too! HAH!!!!Teachers just give them names of kids who might be interested. Go to a college and take a course... it is a real eye opener... if it is a quality program and helps you determine if you have the stuff for a top college. Went to a program at Stanford...it was great and tough ....got credit too!

Summaries of EU Legislation

European enforcement order for uncontested claims
The Regulation creates a European enforcement order for uncontested claims. Through the introduction of minimum standards, the instrument allows the free movement in the European Union (EU) of judgments, out-of-court settlements or authentic instruments concerning uncontested claims.
Regulation (EC) No 805/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 creating a European Enforcement Order for uncontested claims [see amending acts].
The Regulation creates a European enforcement order for claims which are uncontested by debtors. The European enforcement order is a certificate which enables judgments, court settlements and authentic instruments on uncontested claims to be recognised and enforced automatically in another Member State, without any intermediate proceedings.
The Regulation applies in civil and commercial matters. It does not, in particular, cover revenue, customs or administrative matters. It is applicable in all Member States with the exception of Denmark.
A claim shall be regarded as uncontested if:
- the debtor has expressly agreed to it by admission or by means of a settlement which has been approved by a court or concluded before a court in the course of proceedings; or
- the debtor has never objected to it in the course of the court proceedings; or
- the debtor has not appeared or been represented at a court hearing regarding that claim after having initially objected to the claim in the course of the court proceedings; or
- the debtor has expressly agreed to it in an authentic instrument.
European enforcement order
A judgment on an uncontested claim is certified as a European enforcement order by the Member State who delivered the judgment (State of origin). Certification is carried out by means of the standard form. It may apply to only parts of the judgment, in which case the order will be known as "partial European enforcement order".
Minimum standards
In order for a judgment on an uncontested claim to be certified as a European Enforcement Order, the court proceedings in the Member State of origin must meet certain procedural requirements.
Therefore, only the document service methods listed in the Regulation are allowed if the judgment is to be certified as a European enforcement order.
Furthermore, the document instituting proceedings must give details of:
- the claim (personal details of parties, amount of the claim, whether or not interest is incurred and for what period, etc.);
- the procedural arrangements required for contesting the claim (deadline for contesting the claim, consequences of failing to object, etc.).
Lastly, the Member State of origin must provide for the right to a review of the judgment in exceptional cases.
The law to be applied to the enforcement procedure is that of the Member State where enforcement of the judgment is requested (Member State of enforcement). The creditor must supply the authorities responsible for enforcement with:
- a copy of the judgment;
- a copy of the European enforcement order certificate;
- where necessary, a transcription of the European enforcement order certificate or a translation thereof into the official language of the Member State of enforcement or into another language accepted by the Member State of enforcement.
No security, bond or deposit can be required of creditors on the ground either that they are foreign nationals or are not domiciled or resident in the Member State of enforcement.
The competent court in the enforcing Member State may, subject to certain conditions, refuse to enforce a judgment if it is irreconcilable with an earlier judgment given in any Member State or in a third country. In certain cases, it can also stay or limit enforcement.
Final and general provisions
In order to facilitate access to enforcement procedures, Member States undertake to provide the general public and professional circles with relevant information within the framework of the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters.
Creditors remain free to seek recognition and enforcement of a judgment under the Brussels I Regulation. Moreover, this Regulation does not prejudice the application of Regulation on the Service of judicial and extrajudicial documents.

Ken Krebs
Cyclist & Triathlete
Chicago, IL
Hello, my name is Ken Krebs and I'm a 45-year-old cyclist and triathlete from the suburbs of Chicago. I've been participating in competitive sports for more than 15 years; I also enjoy motorcycle racing, snow-boarding, and a variety of other sports. Last year (2011) I finished 1st overall in the cycling portion of the Chicago Triathlon and Lake Geneva Triathlon, and in the top 4% for all disciplines (cycling, swimming, and running). I'm very proud of these achievements since I've only been competing in triathlons for 2 years.
While I've been an avid runner and cyclist for a while now, my desire to compete in triathlon events led me to incorporate swimming into my training regimen. I started swimming at age 42,having never been a swimmer prior to this. My first competitive triathlon was an Xterra event two years ago. This event was an open-water start, which means at the start of the race over 200 competitors are hitting the water at the same time and literally swimming on top of one another. This was pretty scary for a new swimmer, but I found it to be more of a mental challenge than a physical challenge. You just have to focus on your form and performance and try not to let the chaos throw you off. This worked for me, as I placed 8th out of 30 competitors in my age group.
NOW Foods has played an integral role in my early triathlon success. I've been using Whey Protein for a while now, and more recently ZMA, to help me recover from hard workouts. I'm interested in trying other products to see how they affect my performance throughout the 2012 season. Now that I've tasted success with the help of NOW products I want to push the envelope and see how much better I can get with hard training and some additional products.
Because I've started competing a little later in life, I feel I will be a great NOW Ambassador. I'm in a unique position of being able to recommend NOW products to more mature athletes who need that extra edge to compete with younger athletes. While being relevant to the younger athletes who are looking to gain from the knowledge of a more seasoned athlete.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - The hero of North Side's SAC Holiday Tournament boys basketball championship is this week's 21Alive/Parkview Sports Medicine Boys Player of the Week.
Senior forward Oosha Mitchell averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks in the tournament.
His buzzer-beating 3-pointer was the difference in the Redskins' title game victory over Snider. Mitchell accounted for 21 points in that game.
Mitchell says he has improved his confidence as a player. That has helped him to average 12 points and 5 rebounds so far this year.
Mitchell signed his letter of intent in September to play men's basketball at Indiana University-South Bend.

A Little Falls man found himself facing a fine after his buddy used his name to get out of a traffic ticket in Hoboken.
The man showed up at the Hoboken Police Department Monday saying he wasn't anywhere near the Mile Square City on May 11, the day the ticket was issued at 59 Washington St, according to this article in today's Jersey Journal.
But he recognized the real offender once he noticed the car in question belonged to his friend's grandmother. When he went to visit the friend's home in Lyndhurst, the man apologized, saying he couldn't use his real name because he had too many outstanding warrants, police said.
The suspect, whose name was not provided by Hoboken police, is wanted for wrongful impersonation and theft of identity.

Volney, NY - A man burning items in a barrel was badly burned when a flammable liquid he poured into the fire caused an explosion, a Volney fire chief said.
Volney firefighters responded to a call at 2999 county Route 4 just before 7 p.m., First Assistant Chief Ed Weldin said.

Okay to Eat Nuts?
True or false?
Nuts are high in fat, so it's best to eliminate them from your diet.
Answer: false.
Well, mostly false. Nuts are high in fat. But it's the good kind of fat—mono- or polyunsaturated. Other benefits of nuts: they're rich in
It's easy to go overboard though. Nuts are high in calories. A tiny handful per day should be your limit.

Broccoli: Steam or Microwave?
Which is healthier, steaming your broccoli or putting it in the microwave?
According to a recent study, steaming is healthiest. When you put your broccoli in the microwave, you're losing 74 to 97 percent of three key antioxidants that are said to reduce cancer risk. The antioxidants leach into the cooking water and then evaporate.
When you steam your broccoli, you lose no more than 11 percent of the antioxidants.

Hot Holiday Drinks
Those warm holiday drinks can do some real damage to your good intentions when it comes to limiting calories. Hot buttered rum really does contain butter, and often whipped cream. Egg nog often has not only eggs and whole milk, but lots of sugar and sometimes whipped cream. Mulled cider usually has less fat, but lots of sugar.
You can still have these drinks, but limit them. Even a half cup of canned egg nog has 9 grams of fat and 160 calories. The message here is: portion control!

Foods to Prevent Colds?
You're always going to find people who swear that vitamin C can help prevent colds, and people who say there's no solid proof. In fact, there have not been a lot of large studies done that show that taking a lot of vitamin C helps much at all.
On the other hand, vitamin C is an essential nutrient and an antioxidant. It's good for you. Make sure to get some every day—from citrus fruits and juices, red and green peppers, and other fruit and vegetable sources.
You may still catch a cold, but you'll be getting the nutrients you need.

Though often touted today as one of the greatest American presidents, Abraham Lincoln was a divisive figure in American politics during his lifetime. Obviously unpopular in the American South (his election being one of the many factors that led to succession and war), Lincoln was also hated by many in the North.
In commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg, the bloodiest conflict of the Civil War, Lincoln delivered an address to a crowd on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of a cemetery for those killed in the battle.
Tonight, the Hershey-Derry Township Historical Society presents Civil War expert and educator Bob Shaffer, who will discuss Lincoln's visit and his famed Gettysburg Address, a speech that the contemporary press ridiculed and Lincoln himself saw as a failure, though it has since been remembered as one of the greatest pieces of oration in our nation's history.
Prior to the lecture, the Historical Society will celebrate Kathy Lewis and Joanne and Jim Curry at 5:30 p.m., for their two decades of volunteer service.
WHEN: 7 tonight
WHERE: Hershey-Derry Township Historical Society, 40 Northeast Drive, Hershey

County OK's Penwell Permit
Persistence paid off for Frank Penwell and Consignment Treasures.
After nearly 15 years of wrangling over local land-use regulations, the Roche Harbor Road recycle and resale operation has a new permit and is ready to roll, or, more to the point, ready to build.
On Sept. 4, the county hearings examiner issued a decision approving a new conditional-use permit for the property. Frank Penwell is pleased, but his neighbor Mark Larsen isn't.
"He just wanted to wipe the slate clean, be forgiven, and then go back and continue to operate the way he has in the past," said Larsen. "I'm not bitter or angry about it, just disappointed because nothing will change. My only hope is that he runs the recycling business into the ground."
Another neighbor who opposed Penwell's operation, Ross McCallum, also attended the hearing. He couldn't be reached for comment about the latest developments.
In 2012, the San Juan County Council amended the development code with a footnote that permitted Consignment Treasures, as an existing recycling center, to file an application for a new conditional use permit that allowed the public to drop off recycling materials at the CT facility on Roche Harbor Road.
"It's not an ending, it's a beginning," said Penwell, who moved to San Juan Island almost 40 years ago and obtained his first permits for the six-acre property in 1978, for a commercial driveway and the first of four buildings he's built on the property.
Penwell became involved in community recycling as a Lion's Club member, then formed a non-profit company in 2004 to sponsor a thrift and reuse store and recycling operation at the Roche Harbor Road property. The non-profit has been granted 501(c)(3) charitable status, retroactive to 2011, according to Penwell.
Penwell says that over $150,000 in local community contributions have been made, including scholarships and contributions of goods and money to numerous local community groups.
He pointed to passage of the growth management act in the 1990's and "continual changes in land use regulations" as the source of many problems for Consignment Treasures. He also says mistakes by county staff and the intrusion of politics into the process cost the non-profit "15 to 20 thousand dollars in fees and related costs, and added lots of unnecessary aggravation."
"We've applied for permits for everything we've done," said Penwell. "You have to follow the rules, and I did."
In addition to permitting recycling drop-offs, the new conditional-use permit allows Consignment Treasures to build a new sorting building and shed-roof additions to accommodate recycling drop-off and storage. A building formerly used for storage can now be used as retail space.
Penwell says that the CT Recycling unit will now be able to expand its recycling and reuse activities and "serve San Juan Islanders in a more efficient manner."
The hearing examiner included several conditions in his decision. CT must complete a landscaping and lighting plan, a noise mitigation plan, and a written plan to protect the aquifer recharge area. It must also agree to fire protection requirements suggested by the fire marshal, and allow site inspections by county staff. The county staff recommended against issuance of the new CUP.
County Councilman Bob Jarman, a supporter of Penwell who organized a community meeting supporting Penwell and Consignment Treasures before his election, was pleased with the CUP decision. "I'm excited about what's happening out there and I'll take the time to take my recycling there" now that recycling dropoff is permitted, he said. "They're also the place to take e-waste," Jarman added, referring to the designation of CT by the state Department of Ecology as an official e-waste depository.
Penwell says he expects only a "small increase" in the number of people using the facility. He estimates that maybe a hundred people a week stop by to shop for used goods of all kinds. "Now they can drop off recycling, too," he said.
"I was ready to give up, but the community and the CT board encouraged me to continue," he said. "The needs of the community overtook my original expectations, and the results are even better than I envisioned when I started."

Ex-TCI partner assembles team for launch
Stuart Powers, a former partner at the Children's Investment Fund who left in January to set up his own hedge fund firm, has made a handful of hires as he prepares to launch a global long/short equity fund on January 1.
Powers has named the new firm Hengistbury Investment Partners. Jon Sharp, who was most recently a director in prime services origination at Barclays Capital, has joined as chief operating officer, according to a source familiar with the situation. Before Barclays he was chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Urwick Capital, a global long/short equity fund that focused on financials.
On the investment side, Powers has hired three senior analysts to join him, the source said. Two of them - David Fairweather and Daragh Horgan - worked with Powers at Cazenove earlier this decade. All three were heads of country-focused sellside research teams before pursuing careers on the buyside.
Horgan joined London hedge fund firm Powe Capital as a partner in 2004, while Fairweather went to Richmond Capital, another London-based manager, in 2005.
The third analyst is Angelo Putignano, who left London long/short equities manager Lansdowne Partners in August after six years. Before that, he was an executive director at UBS in the highly-rated pan-European banks research team. The team was led by Davide Serra, who went on to set up financials hedge fund firm Algebris Investments.
The new fund will initially have $600m-$700m capacity and will take about 20 positions in the long book, which will target under-valued franchise companies, and 10-15 single-stock positions in the short book.
All of the new hires are partners.
Powers spent seven years at Chris Hohn's TCI. When he left in January, he was the head European analyst. Between September 2009 and October 2010 he ran a separate portfolio that was a sub-fund of the firm's main hedge fund. During that period the sub-fund returned 21.5% gross of fees, according to a person familair with the situation. In the same period the MSCI World Index gained 14.6%.
Hengistbury declined to comment.

The mission of NYU Wagner's Students for Criminal Justice Reform (SCJR) is to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue that explores the intersections between criminal justice and other areas of public policy. Through panel discussions and community engagement, we provide a forum for sharing information, debating policies, networking, and brainstorming ways to improve the criminal justice system.
In 2010, SCJR received President Sexton's 2010 President's Service Award for exhibiting outstanding leadership in engaging civic leaders and students in significant crossdisciplinary dialogue about criminal justice policies.
During this academic year (2015-2016), Wagner students will reclaim the SCJR legacy. In this time of nationwide bipartisan urgency for criminal justice reform, SCJR is eager to bring NYU back to the forefront of criminal justice initiatives and discourses. SCJR has received over 50 signatures from NYU Wagner students in support of reviving SCJR and the organization's aim to engage the Wagner and NYU communities around criminal justice issues.
● Reviving SCJR as a viable group in the Wagner community, spreading awareness about SCJR, and engaging the Wagner and NYU communities around criminal justicerelated issues.
● Creating partnerships with other Wagner groups to learn about the student group process, to support other groups, and to establish symbiotic relationships across Wagner.
● Building a unified network in the criminal justicefocused community.
● Expanding networking possibilities and volunteer initiatives for Wagner students.

Plenty of sunshine, low humidity and daytime highs topping out in the seasonably warm low and mid 80s both today and tomorrow means the region has a great weekend on tap weather-wise.
This pleasant weather is thanks to an area of high pressure which will loosen its grip on the area on Monday.
On Monday, it's going to be a very close call on whether a late day shower or thunderstorm sneaks into the eastern Pennsylvania, especially north and west of the Lehigh Valley. Along with that, Monday will also be more humid and warmer with highs returning to the 90s.
Today: Pleasant and warmer with plenty of sunshine. High: 82
Tonight: Clear and comfortable. Low: 55
Sunday: Pleasant with plenty of sunshine with low humidity. High: 85 Low: 63

Top 5 Unnecessary Expenses Every Paris-based Foreign Student Should Avoid.Featured
An effective way to decrease costs is to reduce your expenses. There are many methods you can save your money and help prevent that "too much money at the end of the month" sensational. No matter how inexpensive we want to be, moving some cash. There is no way to prevent that, so to save for our relocation, we need to cut our expenses. Here are some simple and innovative ways foreign students can cut expenses, produce income, and get on the road sooner:
1. Cut the coffee expenses.
Well, the Coffee house likes your cash. Coffee is a daily cost that silently empties your pockets without you ever realizing. That daily $5 coffee expenses you $150 monthly. Quit the coffee and begin drinking tea, or make your own cup of coffee. Hey, would you like to know more about coffee in Paris? I mean some really nice coffee worth spending on? This amazingly written article on where to drink specialty coffee in Paris, by Lindsey of Lost in Cheeseland, may help you to know more about the best coffee and therefore, spend wisely.
2. Learn Cooking.
We all need to eat, but dining places in Paris are getting quite costly nowadays. I have increasing tag surprise whenever I go out to eat. To keep your meals invoice very low, you need to cook more often. I discovered to cook while in college and before I left for my first travel, I cut down my eating out to two times per week. I would save the scraps from supper and dinner for lunchtime the next day, thus saving a few more Euros. You do not need to be an expert in the French cuisine, either. A thousand and one food-cooking sites will educate you how to cook fast and healthy foods. You might actually need to check out this great list of the top 40 French cooking Blogs that has been put together by the Culinary Arts colleges; a website dedicated to elevating the American cuisine by encouraging a brand new generation of chefs to attend a culinary arts college.
3. Leave the Car.
Vehicles are insane costly especially when you are living in Paris or you are a Paris-based student, to own between repairing, insurance, and maintenance. Get rid of your car if you can. Learn to like the bus, take the metro, bicycle, walk or sometimes share a ride. This tip may not be easy for everyone, but it is one of the most efficient ways to reduce unnecessary expenses while studying in Paris.
4. Find a Roommate.
You will see a large gain in your benefits by decreasing your real estate or accommodation expenses. Downsize your residence or find some roommates. Six weeks before I went in Paris, I shifted with my parents. I did not love being 25 and residing with my parents, but I saved more than $3,000 in rent as a result. If this is not an option for you, you should find a roommate that will help you decrease the cost of a room. In Paris, some people turn drawing room into a bedroom for commercial use by putting a foldable screen in the center of the room. It is not the ideal, but it does save money to share your room. If you're single and live alone, then surely a roommate will be the best option to decrease your rental expenses.
5. Downgrade your cell phone.
Having to spend about 50 Euros every month on a Smartphone can be quite much. While Smartphones are useful gadgets, getting an inexpensive Smartphone without any elegant applications will cut your monthly phone bills in half. You might get tired on the practice of not being able to get connected all the time, but saving an extra €500 in a year will allow you to spend a few more weeks visiting France or go partying with other foreigners.
Over to you.
Are some of you guys feeling overwhelmed with the high cost of living these days in Paris? Do you think it's difficult or impossible to cut back more than what you already have? Have you managed to cut back? What have been your different tips to cut expenses? I'd love to hear from you guys down in the comments.

Spring 09: Orly Prepster Collection Swatches
The Prepster collection from Orly is the second edition to the Spring 09' round up. In the Carnivale Collection, we saw bright pops of orange, purple and pink. This collection is the soft side of spring that offers six nex shades ranging from pastel pink, blue and nudes.
It's time to get your tennis rackets and polo sticks out while you get ready for Orly's Prepster spring collection. A mixture of shades you'll see at the country club or on the tennis courts with names like Cashmere Cardigan, Polo Princess and Prim & Proper.
Some must haves: Cashmere Cardigan, Polo Princess and Country Club Khaki.
Check out all the swatches below.
Cashmere Cardigan is a gorgeous periwinkle blue creme that applied perfectly in two coats. This color just pops, loves it!
Tennis Anyone is a off white sheer creme that applied with three coats. In all honestly, this could have used a fourth coat.
Prim & Proper is a light metallic purple with pink undertones. A much lighter and version of Deborah Lippmann's, Purple Rain.
If you don't mind the hassle of metallics, you'll like this one. The application is much like any metallic really, including Purple Rain.
Country Club Khaki is a fantastic color all around. Described as a khaki nude creme perfect for any season. A great alternative to Rescue Beauty Lounge's, Grunge.
Polo Princess is a pastel pink creme that applied a tad streaky, but not terribly. I needed three coats to even everything out.
OMG is a bright hot pink coral creme that applied fairly sheer. I needed three coats to achieve bottle color.
The Prepster collection is now available at Head2Toe and retails for $3.50/ea.

I've read your blog off and on. I'm now going to add it to my favorites. I already bought the whole Orly collection. It's nice to see it swatched. I haven't used it yet. I also have tons of polish. I read about you in the article on All Lacquered up. Fabulous hair! I love curls. Mine is only wavy. Thanks for the swatches.

An Oneida County woman arrested on animal cruelty charges in August will serve 10 weekends in jail and pay more than $3,300 in fines.
Bridget LaClaire, 49, of 5076 Route 365, Verona, was sentenced Tuesday night in town of Verona Court. She was charged in August with two counts of animal cruelty and one count of harboring an unlicensed dog – all misdemeanors under state Agriculture and Markets law - after sheriff's deputies found two dogs on her property chained outside without food and water.
Deputies said they found one dog, a white pit bull named Sapphire, chained to a tree by a choke collar so tight it ripped into his neck. A deputy used bolt cutters to free the dog; the wound was infected with maggots, deputies said. A second dog, a huskie named Sunday, was also taken from the property.
The case has been publicized on a Facebook page created by Sapphire's new owner, called "Sapphire's New Life." The page encouraged followers to contact the judge in Verona and Oneida Healthcare, where LaClaire works as a nurse, calling for her to receive the maximum sentence and lose her nursing license.
The dog's new owner, Kim Strong, attended Tuesday night's sentencing with Sapphire in tow, and called the decision "precedent setting." She applauded the judge for "enforcing the laws and not giving criminals a chance to do it again because they are a first-time offender."
"This is a huge win for us," she wrote on the Facebook page after court.
Supporters of LaClaire said the sentence was inappropriate because the prosecutor and the county probation department recommended no jail time.
Oneida County Assistant District Attorney Steven Feiner said he initially recommended a plea deal that called for 45 days of house arrest and three years probation.
The probation department came back with a "completely different recommendation," Feiner said. LaClaire said the probation department recommended no jail time and that the charges be dropped.
He said "the court is always free to accept or reject" the recommendation of the probation department or the prosecutor. He said LaClaire had the option to revoke her guilty plea and go to trial after the judge changed the sentence.
Verona Town Justice Randall D. Smith and probation officials could not be reached for comment.
LaClaire said she chained her two dogs outside last summer after her niece moved in with her four small children, ranging in age from 3 to 10.
"The dogs were jumping all over the little ones," she said. "Putting child safety first, we put the dogs outside."
She said Sapphire and Sunday were on a 20-foot chain under a tree, which was shaded, allowing them to run along the length of the yard. She said the dogs were fed, watered and walked each day.
LaClaire said the town's dog control officer recommended the "choke collar" for Sapphire after a neighbor filed a complaint that the dog had been escaping.
Less than four days later, LaClaire said, sheriff's deputies came to her door with the dog control officer and took the dogs away. LaClaire said Sapphire was on the chain collar for less than 24 hours.
"It doesn't get that bad that fast," she said.
LaClaire said she met with a probation officer this fall, who listened to her story and told her the case should be dropped.
Feiner said LaClaire's account of the incident to probation officials "doesn't jive with the evidence we have."
LaClaire said she has received threatening letters from animal rights advocates. She said she took the plea deal to protect her children from a trial.
"It was an accidental thing," she said.

Eligible families can apply for free and reduced-price meal programs
POULSBO — Washington public schools provide free and reduced-price meals to all qualified students. The application process is confidential.
The following nutrition programs are administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture:
— National School Lunch Program provides reduced-price lunches at 40 cents each. Washington, however, pays all lunch costs for public school students in grades K‒3 eligible for reduced-price meals.
— School Breakfast Program provides reduced-price breakfasts at 30 cents each. Washington pays all breakfast costs for public school students in grades K-12 eligible for reduced-price meals.
— Special Milk Program may provide free milk, depending upon the school, for all eligible students.
At the beginning of the school year, an application packet was sent to all households with students in Washington schools, according to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, or OSPI.
All foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. If a household has foster children living with them and wish to apply for meal benefits, they may complete and submit an application.
Homeless and migrant students, households taking part in Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) and students in Head Start and Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) are eligible for free meals. Contact the child's school.
The application packet, available at each school, explains where the application should be sent. Applications will be reviewed and a determination made within 10 working days of receipt of the application. Parents denied eligibility can appeal the decision by contacting their school.
Applications can be submitted any time during the school year. If a household member becomes unemployed, for example, the family should contact the school because the employment change may make children of the household eligible for free or reduced-price meals.
Each month, the Department of Social and Health Services provides OSPI with a list of children who receive federal assistance through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or through the Basic Food Program. These students and all other students in the household automatically qualify for free meals if their school participates in federal child nutrition programs.
A household notified of its child's or children's eligibility must contact the school if it chooses to decline the free meal benefits. Eligibility lasts from the date of approval up to the first 30 operating days of the next school year or until a family contacts the school or district.
Currently, 373 entities in Washington state participate in the breakfast and lunch programs: 281 public school districts, 45 private schools and 47 residential child care institutions. Schools with fewer than 25 percent of its enrolled students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals are not required to have free and reduced-price meal programs.
Participation in the Special Milk Program consists of 59 entities: two school districts, 38 private schools, 5 nonresidential child care institutions and 14 summer camps.
Participating schools and institutions must follow meal patterns established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for breakfast and lunch. Meal patterns reflect the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and contain foods from specific food groups: milk, meat or meat alternate, grains, fruits, and vegetables. In addition, meals must meet standards for calories, saturated fat, sodium and trans fat.
The income eligibility guidelines listed with this story are used to determine the eligibility of children to receive free or reduced-price meals or free milk.

Thinking It Through
Summer Concert Preview
Here are some summer concerts that have piqued my interest:
Fleetwood Mac at the Times Union Center in Albany on June 19 — I emailed my friend Bill a few weeks ago and asked him whether I should go see Fleetwood Mac.
"Maybe," he said. "Let me do some research." Later, he advised me to go. "Christine McVie isn't touring," he said. "But I don't think she sang very many songs that are worth hearing." I was ready to commit, but a few weeks later Bill changed his mind. "OK, I counted," he wrote. "Christine has exactly nine songs that are worth listening to. So I've changed my mind, I wouldn't go see Fleetwood Mac without her."
I appreciate Bill's diligence, but I keep hearing Fleetwood Mac on the radio, and I think I am going to attend this concert. In fact, I'm excited about it. I plan on buying the cheapest tickets and sitting in the bleachers, but I think it will be fun anyhow.
Solid Sound at MassMoCA in North Adams, Mass., on June 21-23 — For the uninitiated, Solid Sound is the music and arts festival curated by Wilco; this year, they will be joined by acts such as Yo La Tengo, Neko Case and Capital Region singer-songwriter Sean Rowe. I'm planning on attending on June 22 with my friend Monica, and having a great time.
Suzanne Vega at Helsinki Hudson in Hudson on June 22 — Last week a friend asked whether I had any interest in seeing Suzanne Vega at Helsinki Hudson. "Sure, when is she playing?" I said, then added "I bet she's playing on June 22nd, when I'm supposed to go to Solid Sound." My friend and I then discussed how sometimes the Capital Region is absolutely dead, and there's nothing to do, but then there will be a night when three or four cool things are going on, and you can't possibly do them all.
Sure enough, Suzanne Vega is playing on June 22. As is Session Americana, the Boston-based rock band my friend Kim invited me to go see at Caffe Lena. "Sorry," I said. "I've got Solid Sound." Seriously, people: Can we distribute the musical events a little more evenly next July?
Rush at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs on June 25 — I admit it: I like Rush. I would absolutely go see them in concert if any of my friends were interested. But they probably aren't.
The Zombies at Empire State Plaza in Albany on June 26 — The pioneering English rock band is playing a free concert just blocks from my apartment? Why wouldn't I go to this?
George Clinton at Riverfront Park in Albany on June 27 — One of the funkiest men alive is playing a free concert a short walk away from my apartment? Why wouldn't I go to this?
Richard Thompson at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on June 28 — I saw Richard Thompson at The Egg a few years ago, and he was fantastic. The Bearsville Theater is an intimate venue that sits on a pretty little creek, and I suspect that it will be an even better place to see Richard Thompson.
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion at Valentine's in Albany on July 9 — I skipped the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show my freshman year of college, and have lived to regret it: Apparently they blew the doors off the place. Anyway, this concert at Valentine's is a chance to correct a past mistake. And maybe listen to "Orange" again.
The AmericanaramA Festival of Music at SPAC on July 21 — This concert should be awesome, because it features Bob Dylan, Wilco, My Morning Jacket and Ryan Bingham. I'm not a huge My Morning Jacket fan (I'd rather see Richard Thompson, who's joining the tour for a number of dates), but I love Wilco, Ryan Bingham is cool and Bob Dylan is, of course, a legend.
Bon Jovi at SPAC on July 22— I heard "Bad Medicine" on the radio the other day and thought, "You know, I bet Bon Jovi is fun in concert." I mean, I always enjoyed hearing Bon Jovi at my middle school dances, and I bet they're even more impressive live.
Nick Lowe and Kim Richey at Helsinki Hudson on August 21 — I'm not too familiar with the music of Nick Lowe, but people I respect have made it clear that the English singer-songwriter is someone to see. And he's playing with Kim Richy, a singer-songwriter my friend Jane has always raved about.

WASHINGTON TWP. -- Gloucester County officials have announced their intention to participate in the purchase of a 125-acre react of land known as the Smith-Garrison property in Washington Township.
The Washington Township council approved the plan at its Wednesday night meeting.
Gloucester County Freeholder Director Stephen M. Sweeney and Deputy Director Robert M. Damminger who announced the county's intention to purchase the land today said that the acquisition would be the last chance to purchase such a large tract in that municipality.
"We are fortunate to be able to preserve 125 acres in Washington Township. That much contiguous land is a rare find," said Sweeney. "According to projections Gloucester County's population is projected to grow by 35 percent by the year 2035. It is essential for us to act on an opportunity to preserve a large tract of open space like this whenever we have the chance," said Sweeney.
Sweeney said, "This property could have been turned into a sea of 475 houses, but that plan is off the table now and we are looking forward to adding it to our open space inventory."
The Smith-Garrison property primarily fronts Fish Pond Road. The property was previously part of the large Fred Smith Orchards property and was famous for its peach production.
"This is an important piece of property for Washington Township. They wanted it for open space and recreational use for many years and I am pleased the county could step in and help make this happen," said Damminger. "The county has worked closely with the state and Washington Township and we are eager to move ahead and settle this property."
"On behalf of the residents of Washington Township, I would like to express my gratitude to the County of Gloucester for their efforts and support in preserving this significant tract of land. This open space will benefit the township now and in the future," stated Washington Township Mayor Paul Moriarty.
The Smith-Garrison land would be deeded directly over to Washington Township upon settlement for recreation and conservation purposes. The total purchase price is $12 million. The Township will pay $3 million, with the County contributing $9 million from its Open Space Fund. The county will be reimbursed for $4.5 million from the Green Acres Trust, fifty percent of its share of the purchase price.


text: Does anyone own one of these and if so how do you like it???? I was at my local sporting goods store and they have one on the shelf, man it shouldered nice with that thumbhole stock!!!! Didn't mind the weight ,it really seemed to aid in keeping it steady but it isn't a gun you would want to carry around for too long I'm sure. It was in a .270WSM wich is a caliber I already own and like very much, just not sure I need another one. I was kinda looking for a 300 Winnie mag or 300WSM that my dad could carry for deer season but the guy said he would make me a deal I couldn't refuse. Dad hunts out of a tree house we made him so carry weight isn't really an issue although it isn't the most practical hunting rifle I've ever seen. Guess there's just something about it, kinda peaked my curiosity. Thanks in advance

Here are two clips from the soon-to-be-released "Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior", which are exclusive to the interweb. It stars former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture and will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray on August 19th. The movie is rated PG-13 and has a running time of 109 minutes.
The movie is currently available for pre-order at Amazon (hence our pimpy affiliate links). Above is a scene from the movie. After the jump is a preview of "The Making of the Scorpion King 2". The movie's official website is here.

Randy Couture. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The Biography Channel will debut a special on UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture tonight at 10 PM ET. It's basically the old biography shows you used to see on A&E, except now they've been relegated to their own channel on digital cable. The channel can be found on DirecTV and DISH Network but it varies in terms of cable providers.
A description from the channel's official website:
He's the five-time champ of America's fastest growing sport. His fights sell out arenas and millions of fans in 36 countries worldwide tune in to telecasts weekly and pay top dollar for exclusive pay-per-view events. He's Randy Couture: the Ultimate Fighting Champion. The simple title belies the near inhuman strength it has taken to kick, choke and claw his way to the top of professional fighting. From early days on his high school wrestling team to the Army and Olympics, this Washington native has built a career on years of training—perfecting his signature style referred to as the "ground and pound." Losses on and off the mat take their toll, but also drive Couture to cement his title as "the best fighter of all time."
These type of shows are usually pretty good and I can only assume that they did a decent job with Couture's story. I'm not sure if I'll be able to check it out or not but anyone that does is welcome to leave a mini-report in the comments.
Randy Couture. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The seemingly never-ending battle between the Ultimate Fighting Championship and it's estranged heavyweight champion, Randy Couture, will now officially move back to Las Vegas after a Dallas, Texas appeals court blocked a separate Texas court from hearing Mark Cuban's request for a declaratory judgment concerning the contractual status of Couture when it comes to the UFC on Friday.
Cuban is expected to appeal the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court next week. His HDNet Fights promotion reportedly entered into a contractual agreement with Couture back in February, thus the request for a decision on Couture's contractual status. UFC parent company Zuffa originally filed to remove HDNet's request back in March. The move was made because the suit was not filed in Nevada, where the company is based.
However "HDNet MMA 2008", the name Cuban filed suit under, is a Nevada limited liability company. Zuffa also alleged that HDNet's Nevada address was an attempt to manipulate the court's jurisdiction, but the accusation fell on deaf ears. Now that Zuffa has the court battle back on their home turf, they have began to have closed-door arbitration hearings in an attempt to finally solve the battle that has now been ongoing for almost eight months now.

Universal Studios and IGN.com have released the official trailer (which is above) for "The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior". It stars former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture and will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray on August 19th. The movie is rated PG-13 and has a running time of 109 minutes.
The movie is currently available for pre-order at Amazon (hence our pimpy affiliate links). Special features on the discs will reportedly include deleted scenes, The Making of The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, a visual effects featurette, a gag reel, and other additional features.

As a company, Affliction is already a successful clothing line. From sales to brand power, it's getting the job done.
Extending that brand to become a premier MMA organization is a whole other matter.
For Affliction to make the splash they wanted to they dished out big salaries to the widey-regarded top heavyweight in the world, along with other big name and former UFC champions. A risky proposition for a newly formed organization. Creating a bigger speedbump was the big kid on the block, the UFC, quickly putting together an event to air, for free on cable, on the same night.
Glancing at the numbers, and given the fan and media reception, it's likely we'll see a second event from Affliction.

Randy Couture stops by Fox News to talk with Mike Straka, talk about his background, MMA, and promote his new book, an autobiography titled Becoming the Natural. The book is available for order at Amazon (hence our pimpy affiliate links).
Amount MMA news topics Couture talks about: Fedor's win over Sylvia, and his relationship with the UFC, although it's nothing too new. He still feels he's been treated differently, but does choose his words carefully, in a just-in-case-type of feel.

Couture Expecting Contractual Ruling This Week
Embattled UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture reportedly expects a Texas state court to rule this week on his contractual standing with the organization, potentially setting up an anticipated showdown between himself and heavyweight king Fedor Emelianenko according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com.
Even though a ruling may be made, Couture believes that his status won't be completely finalized due to possible appeals from the losing party. However Couture remains confident that he will indeed face Emelianenko sometime before his impending retirement in the near future.
"When, where and with what promotion — we don't know," Couture said in the report. "It could happen in the UFC. We just don't know. I want it to happen. Fedor wants it to happen. In some way, shape or form, we're going to make it happen."
Affliction: Banned Salaries and Numbers
The California State Athletic Commission today released the official fighter salaries, attendance numbers, and gate receipts for this past weekend's "Affliction: Banned" event, which took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim in front of a crowd of 14,832. According to the commission, 3,590 complimentary tickets were given out and 740 tickets went unsold. The gate receipts turned in a reported $2,085,510. The complimentary and unsold tickets were worth 757,900.

Here's Thursday night's segment of MMA Fight Weekly from NBCSports.com. The five-minute episode revolves around the two big-time events going on this weekend, Affliction: Banned, and UFC Fight Night 14. The main cards of the two shows are broken down fight-by-fight. Hosts Tiffany Simons and Mike Chiappetta also touch on the future of current UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture and why his current status with the promotion won't really come into play if Affliction Entertainment fails to make it big after holding their first couple events.

While it's pretty easy to assume that the current relationship between UFC President Dana White and his reigning heavyweight champion, Randy Couture, might be a little rocky considering White's company filed a defamation suit against Couture earlier this year, things might be starting to get a little better between the two.
White was a guest this morning on CBS and XM Satellite Radio's "Opie and Anthony Show" (audio here) where he talked about a variety of topics, including his current situation with Couture. As he's done all throughout the past eight months since Couture formally resigned from the promotion, White had nothing but good things to say about the UFC Hall-of-Famer.
"I have nothing but respect for Randy Couture," White said on the program. "This guy is a real fighter and he's always fought the best fighters in the world. So whatever his reasoning his for wanting to sit out for the remainder of this thing, I want Randy Couture back in the UFC. I want him to be a part of this thing for the rest of his life and I'm trying to work that out with Randy right now so we'll see what happens."
Whether or not White and Couture are really trying to work something out remains to be seen, but this is the first time in quite a while that White has even mentioned anything related to an attempt to patch things up with Couture.
White also discussed his attempts to sign former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko, widely considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world. While one of Couture's main reasons for leaving the UFC was White's inability to sign Emelianenko, he noted that his attempts were not made in vain.

Remember when Randy Couture traveled to South Africa last year to film The Scorpion King II? Well the movie is being released on August 19th, albeit straight to DVD.
Universal Home Video announced the news today. The movie, which is rated PG-13 and has a running time of an hour and fifty minutes, should retail for $19.98. A Blu-ray release will also be available for $39.98 according to DVDActive.com.
Couture plays the main character in the film, his first lead in a movie. Details concerning the film's plot are quite sketchy but Couture basically kills the father and becomes the enemy of a teenage Mathayus, the character The Rock played in the first prequel.
Extras will reportedly include deleted scenes, The Making of The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, a visual effects featurette, a gag reel, and other additional features. We'll post further details when they become available.

As the weather turns colder, humans aren't the only ones heading inside.
The National Pest Management Association estimates that 21 million rodents head indoors when it's cold, looking for a winter wonderland of shelter and food.
Mice "only need a quarter inch to get in. They can push themselves into openings the size of a pencil," said Rick Ciotti, owner of ABC Pest Management in Baldwinsville.
And once in, it won't be long before you have more mice -- mice breed year-round and females can give birth every 30 days to litters of five to 10.
They can chew through walls, electrical wires and baseboards. They can also bring diseases, such as salmonella and hantavirus, with them.
"The real danger is with the droppings," said Jennifer Savastino, co-owner of Gannon's Pest Control in Syracuse. "Make sure you use a mask so you're not breathing in the fumes," especially if you have asthma or any kind of respiratory issues.
Clean the droppings as soon as you find them by sucking them up with a shop vacuum, she said. Empty the vacuum outdoors.
Savastino said her business is getting more calls about mice this year, as people discover they can no longer buy mice poisons they used to use.
In June, the federal Environmental Protection Agency began steps to cancel 20 mouse and rat poison products sold as loose baits or pellets.
Mice and rat poisons must now be sold in childproof, tamper-resistant bait boxes, which can only be opened with a key.
"We had to increase prices. The tamper-resistant bait boxes are $2 to $3 each, and we use six to 12 in a house," she said.
The trick is keeping the mice out in the first place.
Garages and basements are prime spots for mice to sneak in, Ciotti said. They can squeeze in through cracks in the foundation, dryer and air conditioning vents, pipes and electrical wiring.
They will often find holes beneath the siding that you can't see by looking down. Use a mirror and a flashlight and crawl around the foundation of your house, looking for entry points.
The mirror is key, Ciotti said. "Sometimes, even laying on the ground you can't see."
When he finds an opening, Ciotti uses copper mesh to fill it, the same material you use to scrub your pots and pans. Steel wool also works, Savastino said, but it can rust.
You can also check for possible mice entry holes from inside the house, she said.
After dark, one person stands outside, and the other stands in the basement with a flashlight. As you walk the perimeter, watch for light coming through.
And even if the mice get into the basement, you can block them from getting into the kitchen, she said.
Check for holes under sinks, behind stoves and behind the refrigerator if it has a water line. Pack any holes with copper mesh or steel wool.
If you do have mice, your choices are to trap or bait them, Ciotti said.
"Traps you have to maintain," he said. "You have to check snap traps or glue boards daily. Bait does the work for you, but sometimes they'll die in an area where you can't get to. The odor can last four to five days."
With snap traps, the mouse eats bait and triggers a snap that kills it. Some people, however, are afraid of getting their fingers whacked.
A mouse that walks onto a glue trap, or sticky board, gets stuck and can't move.
The Humane Society of the United States recommends snap traps or traps that use electricity to kill rodents. Poisons and glue boards are cruel, the society says.
If you use live traps, release the mouse far from the house so it doesn't sneak back in.
Place traps against the wall, perpendicular to the wall, since mice navigate using their whiskers, and usually run alongside something. Mice are territorial and will investigate their territory every day, so set traps where you find evidence of mice (either droppings or holes chewed in paper or food packages).
Mice are mostly active during dusk or night; they do not like bright lights.
The National Pest Management Association also recommends:
Clean kitchens thoroughly. Some homeowners wipe down countertops after every meal, but only vacuum the floor once every few weeks. Crumbs and leftover messes will attract ants, mice and rats -- especially if left on the floor for days on end. Don't leave dirty dishes spilling over the sink either.
Don't store birdseed or dog food in bags. Some pest professionals advise against feeding birds altogether because it will inevitably attract rodent activity. However, if you do have a birdhouse, make sure it's at least 20 feet away from your home. Also, be sure to store your birdseed or pet food in sealed storage containers, not bags. This is especially important if you're keeping the dry food inside your home.
Store items kept in garages, attics and basements in plastic, sealed containers rather than cardboard boxes to keep mice from nesting inside.
Unlike mice, which can spread disease, other pests that move indoors for the winter are just a nuisance.
Boxelder bugs, stink bugs, ladybugs and cluster flies don't feed or reproduce indoors and are only seeking warmth.
Boxelder bugs are black with red cross-like markings on their backs, live on female boxelder trees and move into the house through cracks and crevices when the weather turns cold, said Jennifer Savastino, co-owner of Gannon's Pest Control of Syracuse.
"They don't bite, they don't carry disease, they don't breed. They're just looking to overwinter," she said.
Brown marmorated stink bugs are light brown with dark brown spots on their backs. "You don't really seem them unless it's a warm, sunny day," she said.
If you do see one, don't squish them. They earned their name for the ammonia-like scent they give off when squished or threatened.
If squished, stink bugs can also leave a stain on walls and fabrics.
Ladybugs can also be annoying, but are not dangerous. To get rid of them, "I recommend sucking them up with a shop vac," Savastino said.
Cluster flies, named because of their ability to communicate with each other using a scent to summon themselves into clusters, usually nest in insulation in the attic, Savastino said. Although you usually see them in the spring, they will come out on warm, sunny, winter days.
"They kind of rejuvenate at about 54 degrees," said Rick Ciotti of ABC Pest Management in Baldwinsville.
"They'll go to the light -- to windows and light fixtures. Some homes have hundreds where you have to vacuum them up every day."
Like stink bugs, a squished cluster fly can stain walls and fabrics.
Barrier pesticides can keep the bugs out, but the treatment must be applied in mid-August or early September -- so you're too late for this year.
The fall's warm weather has also extended the flea season, Savastino said.
If you treat your pets with anti-flea drops, she recommends continuing the treatment for at least another month.

"Just loved this whole suite. We are having a rehearsal luncheon for our son in a room with a lot of greenery so the design is perfect. Their wedding venue is outdoor so i this design is staying with the theme. Quality of the paper is fantastic. The only thing I wish was that the design was on the back of the place cards as well."
"I ordered these place cards because they fit my rustic spring wedding. I like the simplicity of the leaf pattern. I did not want a plain Placecard and when I looked through the choices, I fell in love with this design. I would definitely recommend this product to those who are considering it."
"We were not going to do seating assignments but at the last minute it became clear that it would be better to do so. I ordered these the week of our wedding and got them within 36 hours. No problems! We used a fine tip marker to hand-write the names - no smudging or bleeding. Good quality and incredibly fast shipping. Matched our invitation suite, menu cards and programs."
"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"Keep in mind when ordering these that not everyone you invite will attend- we ended up with a couple dozen left over! We did put some of the extras to use, though, by cutting off the flowers in the corner and using them to decorate other things."


text: We are all anxious to see how this year's legislative body will handle the tasks before them. Their work is cut out for them. Slightly fresh with five new or returning faces and slimmed to 19 seats, this legislature must summon up a worthy resolve to tackle the challenges before them. The potential for philosophical peril is embedded in the lopsided composition of a legislature with 13 Republicans and only six Democrats. Public perception assigns tightfisted harshness to Republicans and a spendthrift recklessness to Democrats; these rigid roles may not be merited and certainly need not be inevitable. At any rate, with a two-to-one ratio, there is enhanced danger of the majority party governing with a heavy hand - the "tyranny of the majority" so feared by James Madison and John Adams and the threat Alexis de Tocqueville reiterated as a perpetual danger to the fledgling Republic, charged as it was with ensuring the rights of all Americans, including those with minority ideas.

The Division of Consumer Affairs presented its fraud awareness and prevention program to senior citizens at the Ironbound Senior Center in Newark Wednesday.
The program, known as FedUp for the Senior Fraud Education and Protection Program, first launched in 2008 and educates seniors how to spot scams and avoid becoming victims of fraud.
"We're empowering seniors to better protect themselves and their savings, as con artists continuously try new schemes in attempts to defraud the elderly," said Thomas R. Calcagni, Acting Director of the State Division of Consumer Affairs
Attendees watch DVD presentations and receive booklets of information about telemarketing and mail fraud, investment fraud and identification theft.
Other scams discussed include advance fee fraud, in which a person is informed he has won a prize but needs to send in money first to pay for processing fees, bogus charities that ask for donations in cash, unregistered contractors who show up unannounced and offer a "special deal," and rebate or reward checks that enroll the person cashing the check into a subscription or contract.

I am originally from Germany where I received a B.A. degree in American Studies and German Studies and a certificate in German as a Foreign Language in 2006. I have always enjoyed working with students and being in the classroom. I wanted to get more education after my B.A. degree and I didn't want to give up teaching completely. This program allows me to do both."
