Here is the latest news on the East Blithedale road construction project:
What has been done: Sewer construction crews have installed approximately 2,500 feet of the sewer main and 14 new sewer manholes on East Blithedale Avenue. The sewer crews have also connected approximately 40 sewer services from the properties to the new sewer line in the street. The PG&E gas line relocation work between Elm Avenue and Mesa Avenue has been completed.
What is in progress: The sewer line replacement construction on East Blithedale Avenue continues with the two sewer construction crews connecting the existing sewer services from the properties to the new sewer line in the street. Both sewer construction crews will be working on the sewer service connections between Mesa Avenue and Alta Vista Avenue. Lane closures of 200'-300' at each location should be expected. Concrete and asphalt paving crews continue to work on East Blithedale Avenue repairing trench line areas that were broken out for the installation of the sewer main or sewer services. What to expect in the next few weeks: The sewer construction crews will finish connecting the existing house sewer laterals to the new sewer main. The concrete repairs to the sidewalks and driveways damaged by the construction will continue and will finish after all sewer lateral connections have been made. The week of August 19th, the asphalt paving crew will finish patching the street and starting on August 21st, the pavement resurfacing of East Blithedale Avenue will begin. Crewmembers will place the traffic stripes on East Blithedale Avenue during the week of September 2nd.

I would like to thank the Coastal Bend College administration, faculty and staff for another wonderful summer program provided to St. Mary's children.
For the past several years, Jayne Duryea has organized the Summer ACE program for the intermediate St. Mary's Academy Charter School program. Each year, the program becomes more creative and exceptional. This year and in past years, we have had excellent college participation from top notch instructors such as Mrs. Duryea, Mr. Tegarden, Mrs. McCurdy, Mr. Seccord, Coach Vasquez, Dr. Lee and Coach Lollar to name a few.
The opportunity to bring our students to the college for a month each year has provided a great benefit. Many of our students were not even aware of the college before our summer program. Now, most St. Mary's graduates start dual credit as early as their freshmen year at A. C. Jones. I would like to thank Dr. Espinoza, and her staff for allowing us to continue having summer programming at Coastal Bend College.
Stan Simonson,

hi there
my DD is only 15 weeks old (3 1/2 months) and i am wondering about her readiness/eagerness to start food. i must say i am very reluctant, but i made a promise to be led by her and i think she is telling me she is ready.
she has 2 teeth (ouch) she can hold her head well and is physically very able and advanced. she is munching and chewing (not sucking) everything.
she mimicks us when we eat, staring intensely at our food and trys to grab at our food or hands when we eat. i don't think she is extra hungry, her BM is just right, but i think she wants to experience it.
what could/should i do. i would be soooo sad if she gave up the breast as a result of this.
she was very very overdue by the way, if she'd born on her due date she'd be over 4 months now. if that means anything.

So, we started baby food a couple of weeks ago, and Lucy is doing awesome! She gobbles it up like it's the best thing she's ever eaten! However, now she hasn't pooped since Thursday! :yikes I fed her prunes Saturday night (she ate the whole jar) and again this morning. I didn't feed her any solids yesterday (thinking if I held off, she would clean out). I called the dr. this morning and they recommended some apple juice and more prunes. They said if she hasn't pooped by tomorrow morning, I need to do rectal stimulation with a thermometer.:gross Any other ideas to get things moving? She doesn't seem uncomfortable... she's nursing great, and eating well. She isn't straining or anything... just doesn't seem to "need" to go... although I know she does.
Any other advice?
I've been carrying extra changes of clothes with us everywhere, because, I have a feeling when it does come, it's gonna be bad!!!

Retirement of Dean Hart and Appointment of Professor Owensby as Dean of School of ET & CS
CreatedFriday, November 11 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
E. Franklin (Frank) Hart will be retiring as Dean of the School of Engineering Technology & Computer Science at Bluefield State College at the end of the Fall 2011 Semester, following 44 years of distinguished service to the College. Roger Owensby, Assistant Professor & Department Head/Mining Engineering Technology, has been appointed Interim Dean of the School, effective January 2012.
Hart began his academic career at Bluefield State College in 1967. In addition to his service as a faculty member and academic administrator, he has been the College's Director of Institutional Research, Director of Admissions, Director of Financial Aid, and Registrar. Active in his profession and in the community, he also served for three years as president of the International Society for Mine Surveying, and in 2003, he received the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET) Fellow Award. The ABET Fellow Award is presented each year to recognize individuals who have given sustained quality service to the ABET-related professions in general, and to education within the ABET disciplines, particularly through the activities of ABET.
"Frank Hart is an outstanding educator and administrator," observed Dr. Thomas Blevins, Bluefield State College's President. "He has earned the respect of his peers by his commitment to excellence in the classroom and in industry. He has maintained a very positive relationship with industry and with our engineering technology graduates. As a result, the School of Engineering Technology and Computer Science maintains a very relevant curriculum that develops students with skills that are in high demand. The entire Bluefield State College community is grateful for his service to the College and the region, and we wish him continued health and happiness in the years ahead."
"On a personal note," Dr. Blevins continued, "Frank played a significant role in creating the opportunity for me to graduate from Bluefield State. When he was the College's Financial Aid Director, he helped me receive a scholarship. That scholarship permitted me to have money for tuition, books, clothes and gas for the daily commute to the College. It enabled me to go to school."
Owensby is Assistant Professor and Department Head of the Mining Engineering Technology program at BSC.
"Professor Roger Owensby has a robust appreciation of the strengths and possibilities in the School of Engineering Technology and Computer Science," stated Dr. Lewis Jones, BSC's Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs. "I am confident of his ability to maintain the high regard the School enjoys in the community and region. I look forward to working with him on a common agenda of excellence, innovation and continuing progress in the School."

Madison Winter Festival kicks off
More than 90 truckloads transform capitol square
Those itching to enjoy some winter sports before spring don't have to look any further than the Capitol Square this weekend.
The annual Madison Winter Festival kicked off with sledding, skiing, snowshoeing, and more.
Local sports stores like Fontana Sports offered free demos and gear rental.
Adam Remus, Fontana Sports assistant manager, said the event helps to offer families an opportunity to enjoy Wisconsin's winter sports.
"We're just into it to get families involved, just to know the community," Remus said. "There is great skiing in Madison and this is a great way for people to try it."
It took more than 90 truckloads of snow to transform the square into a winter wonderland. The Madison Winter Festival concludes Sunday at 4 p.m.

But first, never, ever, ever change the default permissions on the files and directories that came with your FreeBSD system. The creators of FreeBSD understand permissions; unless you are a systems administrator or a security engineer with a good reason to change these defaults, please leave well enough alone.
Instead, we'll be creating test directories and test files to practice with. Once you're comfortable with setting permissions, you'll be able to create your own directories and set their permissions according to your needs.
Let's start by taking a look at the
chmod command. There are two modes of operation for
chmod: absolute mode (which uses numbers) and symbolic mode (which uses letters).
In absolute mode,
chmod uses four numbers to represent the following four sets of permissions:
Instead of using the letters
s, or
t, it uses the numbers
2, and
1 in this order:
421 421 421 421
In the first set of numbers,
2 = SGID, and
1 = directory sticky bit. In the next three sets of numbers,
4 = read,
2 = write, and
1 = execute; again the order is owner, group, and everyone else. If a permission is to be denied, a
0 is used, not the
- symbol.
So, if I wanted to to set the SUID bit on a file, give its owner full access, and give the primary group and everyone else read and execute access, I would want permissions like this:
400 421 401 401
To set this using
chmod, I must first total each set of permissions like so:
400= 4+0+0 =
421= 4+2+1 =
401= 4+0+1 =
401= 4+0+1 =
so I can tell
chmod this:
chmod 4755 name_of_file
Let's try this and see if it works. As a regular user, cd into your
home directory and create a test file. In this example, I am logged in as
the user
genisis; if I type
cd without any arguments, I will be taken to
genisis' home directory.
touch test
ls -la test
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 11:27 test
chmod 4755 test
ls -la test
-rwsr-xr-x 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 11:27 test
Note that whoever creates a file becomes the owner of the file; the primary group of the file will be the primary group of the owner of the file. This is important as only the owner of the file (and root) can change the permissions of a file.
Now, how would you use
chmod to change the file back to its original permissions? Let's see if we can do the math and get it to work. Our
original permissions looked like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 11:27 testThere isn't an
t, or
T in the original permissions, so the first set
will be
The owner has
rw which is
4 +
2 +
0 =
r which is
4 +
0 +
0 =
Everyone else has r which is
4 +
0 +
0 =
So let's see if the following works:
chmod 644 test
ls -la test
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 11:27 test
Note that the following command would yield the same result:
chmod 0644 test
However, you can omit the
0 if it represents the specialty permissions.
Now let's try
chmod in symbolic mode. The syntax for symbolic mode is a bit longer:
chmod who operator permission filename
who can be:
u = user (owner)
g = group
o = others
a = all, or ugo
operator can be:
+ add this permission
- take away this permission
= make this permission equal to
and the permissions can be
t, and
X. Note that there is no
S; if you want to keep the execute bit when you set the SUID or SGID bits, use both
s and
x. If you want to set the SUID bit, use
s with a who of
u; to set the SGID bit, use
s with a who of
g. To set the sticky bit, use
t with a who of
Let's try our original example in symbolic mode. We started with:
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 11:27 test
and want to end up with:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 11:27 test
so let's try this:
chmod a+sx test
ls -la test
-rwsr-sr-x 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 13:05 test
Close, but no cigar. Since we specified a who of
a (or everyone), we set both the SUID and SGID bits. Let's try again:
rm test
touch test
chmod u+s go+x test
chmod: go+x: No such file or directory
We got a syntax error on that command because
chmod expects the who, operator, and permissions to be a string of characters without any spaces. Whatever follows the space is interpreted as the name of the file whose permissions are being set. Let's try again:
chmod u+s,go+x test
ls -la test
-rwSr-xr-x 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 13:16 test
Almost there; we seem to have set the SUID bit and given everyone except the owner execute permission. One more try:
rm test
touch test
chmod u+sx,go+x test
ls -la test
-rwsr-xr-x 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 19 13:22 test
Success. You can see that it is a good idea to always doublecheck your
permissions using
ls -la after using the
chmod command to make sure you actually set the permissions you intended.
Remember from last week that what a user can do with a file depends on both the file's permissions and the directory's permissions. Let's make a test directory in our home directory to store some test files:
mkdir testdir
cd testdir
touch testfile
ls -la
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 genisis wheel 512 Aug 20 10:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 genisis wheel 1024 Aug 20 10:23 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 20 10:24 testfile
Note the interesting behaviour with the times. The parent directory was last modified when
testdir was created, as its name had to be added to the parent directory's list. (Remember from last week that a directory is simply a file containing a list of the directory's contents). Similarly, the
testdir directory was modified the same time that the
testfile was created, as it also had to be added to its directory list.
Now, I want you to
logout and
login as a different user (other than root). Looking at the permissions for the testdir directory, will that user be able to
cd into that directory, use the
ls command, read a file, change a file, create a file, or remove a file? As you try this exercise, remind yourself which permission is allowing or preventing that user from doing something in the
testdir directory. I'll
login as the user
exit login: bikoPassword:
cd ~genisis/testdir
Note the shortcut to return to
genisis' home directory. Looks like the execute permission for everyone on
testdir allowed
biko to
cd into it.
ls -la
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 genisis wheel 512 Aug 20 10:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 genisis wheel 1024 Aug 20 10:23 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 20 10:24 testfile
Looks like the read permission for everyone on the
testdir directory allowed
biko to list its contents.
more testfile
Looks like the read for everyone on the
testfile allowed its contents to be read. Even though the file was empty,
biko did not receive an error message.
touch myfile
touch: myfile: Permission denied
Looks like
biko doesn't have write permission to this directory, so he won't be creating any files in it.
rm testfileoverride rw-r--r-- genisis/wheel for testfile?
yrm: testfile: Permission denied
Again, lack of write permission will prevent
biko from removing files from this directory.
mv testfile ~
mv: rename testfile to /home/biko/testfile: Permission denied
This is a move operation;
biko would need write permission on the
testdir directory for this to work.
cp testfile ~
This copy operation was successful as
biko does have write permission on his home directory.
ls -la >> testfile
testfile: Permission denied.
Here I was trying to append the results of
ls -la to the end of the testfile. If
biko had write permission, he would be able to do this.
Now, how would we give
biko permission to create files in this directory but not delete any files which were created by
genisis? See if you can come up with a solution in both absolute and symbolic mode before testing your theory. Note, you have a choice of giving permission to the primary group, to everyone else, or to both. You'll have to log in as the original user who made the testdir directory in order to change its
permissions. And don't forget to change your directory's sticky bit.
Now is a good time to mention groups, as group membership is an important consideration when setting permissions. To see what groups you belong to, simply type:
To see what groups anyone else belongs to, add their login name to the end of the groups command like so:
groups genisis
groups biko
Here I have two users who don't live in the same group. If I wanted them
to share a directory, I could set permissions on everyone, but this would
also give permissions to everyone else. Alternately, I could make them
members of the same group and set permissions for the group. With this
method, I may also have to change the primary group of the file using the
chown command. Let's create a group called
projects and add these two users to it. Become root, as only root can make new users or groups. We'll use the
pw command to create the group; first, we'll type
pw to get the syntax:
usage:pw [user|group|lock|unlock] [add|del|mod|show|next] [help|switches/values]
Then we'll add a group with the fairly straightforward syntax:
pw group add projects
Then we'll verify that it worked like so:
grep projects /etc/group
Our new group is showing up in the
/etc/group database with a group ID of
1006. Now, I'll want to add the users
genisis and
biko to the group like so:
pw groupmod projects -M genisis,biko
grep projects /etc/group
Everything looks good; one last test to verify:
groups genisiswheel projects
groups bikobiko projects
Note that you can belong to more than one group at a time in FreeBSD. Now
all we have to do is change the primary group of the
testdir directory so we can give permissions to just
genisis and
biko. The user
genisis can do this, as she owns the directory, so we'll exit out of the root account and log back in as
genisis. Then:
chown :projects testdir
Note that the
chown command requires a full colon (
:) to indicate you want to change the primary group, not the owner of the file or directory.
Now, let's see if the change was successful:
ls -la testdir
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 genisis projects 512 Aug 20 10:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 genisis wheel 1024 Aug 20 11:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 genisis wheel 0 Aug 20 10:24 testfile
We can now set permissions for the projects group, and it will only affect
the users
genisis and
I'd like to end this article with some common permissions to set on directories that you create.
If you create a directory that will contain private data that you only
want yourself to access, set its permissions to
700. Users will be able to see the directory, but they won't be able to
cd into it, list its contents, or modify any of the files in it. Keep in mind that root is not subject to permissions, so nothing is really hidden from the root account.
If you wish to have a directory inaccessible to a group of users, set its
permissions to
707 or
705. This works, as FreeBSD stops reading permissions when it finds a match. This means that FreeBSD first checks to see if you are the owner of the file; if you are, you are subject to the owner's permissions. If you are not the owner, it then checks to see if you belong to the primary group of the file; if you do, you are subject to that
group's permissions. If you don't, you are subject to the permissions of
everyone else.
If you want a group to be able to write files, but only delete their own
files, set the directory's permissions to
Practice reading directory listings to determine what you can and can't do
with a file. When you see a listing, think which
chmod command would have set that permission. Before you know it, you'll be able to look at a
listing and know how to change its permissions so your users can do what
you want them to do.
Next week, we'll do some customizing of the user environment by learning how to change our shell prompt.

It's an article of faith that exercise is good or you, but have you every stopped to ask yourself why? The answers are varied and may not be as obvious as you might think.
Most people exercise – and spend billions of dollars doing so – to lose or control weight. While regular exercise will help with weight control, it's really only a small part of that equation. It takes a lot of exercise to burn calories. Good nutrition and controlling calorie intake plays a bigger role in weight control.
The best reason to get exercise is to improve overall health, and here there are many benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular exercise can ward off heart disease, prevent high blood pressure and boost the level of "good" cholesterol relative to "bad" cholesterol.
Doctors say a lifestyle that includes regular exercise can also reduce the chances of stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and even arthritis. There's also evidence it can reduce some cancer risks.
Reduced cancer risk
Researchers in the Netherlands last week reported results of tests using laboratory mice that showed regular exercise to be effective at reducing liver cancer.
"We know that modern, unhealthy lifestyles predispose people to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which may lead to liver cancer; however it's been previously unknown whether regular exercise reduces the risk of developing HCC (liver cancer)," said Prof. Jean-Francois Dufour of EASL, a European scientific society. "This research is significant because it opens the door for further studies to prove that regular exercise can reduce the chance of people developing HCC."
For some time, doctors have prescribed regular exercise for people at risk for developing cancer. But controlling weight and preventing serious disease aren't the only benefits of exercise.
Regular exercise can improve your mood and relieve stress. Physical activity stimulates chemicals in your brain that make you relaxed and happier. And because it also helps you control your weight, you may have more self-confidence.
Even though exercise causes you to burn energy, you seem to end up with more energy when it's done. Regular exercise builds muscle strength and endurance and causes your cardiovascular system to work more efficiently.
Have trouble sleeping at night? Doctors say you may have less trouble if you get some regular exercise. Exercise causes you to fall asleep faster and and sleep more soundly. It can even perk up your sex life.
Economic benefits
Aside from all these health and lifestyle benefits there is also a financial benefit. Consider that consumers spend billions on pills to perk up their sex lives, sleep better, boost their energy and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. A healthy lifestyle, then, has the added benefit of saving money.
But what about the expense of a gym membership? Doesn't it cost money to get exercise? It can but it doesn't have to. For the cost of a pair of sneakers you can go jogging. If your knees aren't quite up to that, then you can walk.
"Walking is the most accessible form of physical activity available to people," said Michigan State University researcher Mathew Reeves.
Reeves led a team of researchers in a recent study that found people who walk their dogs were 34 percent more likely to be considered "physically active," when measured using current federal benchmarks.
"What we wanted to know was if dog owners who walked their dogs were getting more physical activity or if the dog-walking was simply a substitute for other forms of activity," he said.
According to the data, dog walkers do indeed appear to be more active. Reeves says the results show that promoting dog ownership and dog walking could help many Americans -- of which fewer than half meet recommended levels of leisure-time physical activity -- become healthier.
Decades ago Americans got more exercise because daily life demanded it. Today, most people engage in a sedentary lifestyle that is expanding waistlines and degrading health. Recent research suggests sitting for long periods should now be considered risky health behavior.

Billy Talent (formerly known as Pezz) is a Canadian punk rock band from Streetsville, Ontario. They formed in 1993 with Ben Kowalewicz as the lead vocalist, Ian D'Sa on lead guitar, bassist Jon Gallant and drummer Aaron Solowoniuk . The band existed for almost a decade before mainstream success. The members met and played in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School under the name Pezz and remained underground in Toronto's indie music scene until 2001. The band renamed itself Billy Talent after running into legal trouble with the old name. It was then that Kowalewicz's connection with an employee of Warner Music Canada's A&R department landed the band a record deal and launched them into mainstream success. Since then, Billy Talent has made two multi-platinum records in Canada, and continues to expand their success overseas, this included touring for 20 months supporting their third album. They released their fourth album Billy Talent III on July 14, 2009.

What is in this article?:
- Rebound in world grain production expected
- Largest decline in U.S.
• The USDA report reflects prospects for some modest increase in world feed grain stocks and prospects for maintaining world wheat and soybean stocks. However, substantial uncertainty remains.
More About:
The USDA's report of World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) released on May 11 refocused the market's attention on world crop production and the implications for rebuilding U.S. and world stocks, said a University of Illinois economist.
"The report reflects prospects for some modest increase in world feed grain stocks and prospects for maintaining world wheat and soybean stocks. However, substantial uncertainty remains," said Darrel Good.
World and U.S. feed grain production is expected to be record large in 2011-12, nearly 6 percent more than was produced in 2010-11. Substantial year-over-year increases in production are expected in the United States, Argentina, Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Mexico and China. Much of the increase (84 percent) is expected to be in corn production.
Although world coarse grain consumption is expected to increase by nearly 2 percent during the year ahead, world stocks at the end of the 2011-12 marketing year are expected to be modestly larger than stocks at the beginning of the year. Those stocks, however, are expected to be substantially smaller than at the end of the 2008-09 and 2009-10 marketing years.
For the United States, the USDA projects a record large corn crop of 13.505 billion bushels in 2011. That projection reflects March corn planting intentions and a trend yield adjusted for planting progress.
"There is considerable uncertainty about corn acreage and yield due to late planting in many areas and extensive flooding along the southern Mississippi River and its tributaries. Some reshuffling of acreage from March intentions is expected based on rapid planting in some western areas, substantial delays in other areas, and the loss of some acreage," Good said.
Domestic consumption of corn is expected to stagnate in the year ahead as livestock numbers stabilize and ethanol consumption begins to plateau. Exports are expected to decline to a nine-year low of 1.8 billion bushels as a result of larger feed grain crops in the rest of the world.
Year-ending stocks of corn are projected at 900 million bushels, or 6.7 percent of projected consumption.
"The 2011-12 average farm price of corn is projected in a range of $5.50 to $6.50 compared to the projection of $5.10 to $5.40 for the current year. The average farm price for the current year reflects very aggressive contracting of corn sales at relatively low prices. The USDA's estimates of average monthly prices received from September 2010 through March 2011 were well below the average spot cash prices in those months," he said.
For wheat, the USDA projects a 3 percent increase in world production, well below the record levels of 2008-09 and 2009-10. Year-over-year increases are expected in India, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Europe and Canada.

Crisis in English church after rejectionBy ALAN COWELL and JOHN F. BURNS
The New York Times | November 22,2012LONDON In a sign of deepening crisis in the Church of England after it rejected the appointment of women as bishops, its spiritual leader said Wednesday that the church had undoubtedly lost a measure of credibility and had a lot of explaining to do to people who found its deliberations opaque.
The archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, was speaking after an emergency meeting of bishops called to debate Tuesdays narrow balloting by its General Synod rejecting the ordination of women as bishops, even though female priests account for one third of the Church of Englands clergy members. Female priests hold senior positions like canon and archdeacon, and some had been hoping to secure appointments as bishops by 2014 if the change had been approved.
The vote represented a direct rebuff to Williams reformist efforts during his 10 years as head of the church and a huge setback to a campaign for change that has been debated intensely and often bitterly for the past decade.
More than 70 percent of the 446 synod votes Tuesday were in favor of opening the churchs episcopacy to women. But the synods voting procedures require a two-thirds majority in each of its three houses: bishops, clergy and laity. The bishops approved the change by 44-3, and the clergy by 148-45. The vote among the laity, though, was 132-74, six votes less than the two-thirds needed.
The Church of England is the so-called established church, meaning that it is recognized by law as representing the official religion, enjoys special privileges and is supported by the civil authorities.
Some lawmakers suggested Wednesday that the synod vote would create a crisis of church-state relations since the rejection of female bishops contradicted national laws on gender equality. Prime Minister David Cameron, already at loggerheads with the church over the governments plans to legalize same-sex marriage next year, urged church authorities Wednesday to devise a way out of the impasse.
Im very clear the time is right for women bishops; it was right many years ago, he told Parliament on Wednesday. They need to get on with it, as it were, and get with the program. But you do have to respect the individual institutions and the way they work while giving them a sharp prod.
Addressing the synod Wednesday in unusually unambiguous language, Williams declared, We have, to put it very bluntly, a lot of explaining to do.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Owens: Sequester Cuts Likely
With the deadline two weeks away, north country Congressman Bill Owens doesn't think Congress will reach a deal to avoid the automatic budget cuts to the military known as 'sequestration.'
"The folks I've been talking to, Democrats and Republicans, all indicate that there doesn't seem to be a plan at this point that would allow us to avoid sequestration," Owens said.
Sequestration is an additional $1.2 trillion in cuts to government programs agreed to in 2011, with half of the amount coming from the Department of Defense.
The theory in 2011 was that the cuts were so big, so painful, Congress would find another way to reduce government spending. The theory was wrong.
It's not clear what effect sequestration will have on Fort Drum, if any. It could mean cuts to the post's operating and maintenance budgets, though a child care center on post that was in danger in closing has already been spared.
"Sequestration, that's going to affect day to day operations and we don't really have a good understanding of that," said Beth Fipps, who chairs the Fort Drum Regional Liason Organization (FDRLO).
Separate and apart from sequestration, the military is reducing its size over the next several years. An Army study of Fort Drum and 20 other installations concluded that, at worst, Drum could lose 8,000 soldiers, and at best gain about 3,000, though officials have been at pains to say neither the worst nor best is likely to happen.
The FDRLO has prepared a response to the Army study, but it was announced Friday the deadline for submitting comments has been extended to March 21.

I started getting interested in the family history when 3 years ago my 5th grader came home and needed to know history on the family and I didn't know a thing. It's not only become a hobby but it's become a fascination, I have met so many relatives that I didn't know I had and above all my sister and I work on the tree together so we also have become closer.
My sister and I for the past 3 years have packed up all the children and went on a week to two week vacation going to different states grave siting. Seeing the tombstones in person and being able to touch them seems to make us feel more in touch with our ancestors. I have to say on our trips we have had some interesting indures.

A man was found shot to death and run over in a West Central Spokane alley Friday morning, but detectives think that another crime was committed prior to his killing.
The victim's body was found in an alley near the intersection of Bridge and Cannon about 8 a.m. Friday.
"This person was found this morning by somebody in the alley. He was lying face down in the alley. They called for paramedics and they discovered he was dead in the alley," Spokane Police major crimes detective Sergeant Mark Griffiths said.
Spokane's medical examiner took the temperature of the victim's internal organs to help detectives determine his time of death. The man was apparently killed while it was still dark because a woman who lives in the neighborhood thinks she inadvertently ran over the victim while heading to work.
"We're still looking into that. We believe at least one of the vehicles would have been an accident with the person involved," Griffiths said.
While the medical examiner has not identified the victim officially, detectives think they know who he is and that he has a criminal history. Now they're trying to figure out what he was doing and who he was with the last hours he was alive.
"Several major crimes detectives investigating the scene and following up to see where this person was last night and who was with him last and how he ended up here," Griffiths said.
As of 4 p.m. Friday detectives do not have any suspects or persons of interest.

A New Jersey man may face charges after police say he stole a woman's dog and flat-screen TV on their first date.
The two met online and went out for the first time Thursday night, according to the New York Post.
The woman told police that she became preoccupied in another room of her home and briefly left the man alone. When she returned, her Yorkshire Terrier named violet and her flat-screen TV were gone, according to police.
Oddly enough, the man apparently returned both items, leaving them in her front yard at around 3 a.m. Saturday.
Police told the Post they know the man's identity and may press charges.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There are a ton of earnings coming out next week, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday, as he laid out his game plan for next week's trading.
Cramer said investors need to stop, look and listen before they buy and make sure they can process all of the information that will be coming at them.
On Monday, Cramer said Citigroup (C) will be reporting. While the banks are cheap and making a lot of money, he still prefers sticking with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) , a stock he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, along with Wells Fargo (WFC) .
Then on Tuesday, Coca-Cola (KO) and IBM (IBM) , two more Action Alerts PLUS holdings, will report along with Goldman Sachs (GS) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) .
Cramer said he expects good things from Coke and IBM but really has no idea whether Goldman has any earnings power or not. He said if Johnson & Johnson lays any groundwork for splitting itself up, that would be extremely bullish for that stock.
Wednesday brings earnings from Bank of America (BAC) and Pepsico (PEP) . Cramer said he'd buy Bank of America on weakness ahead of its earnings as this company is cleaning up its balance sheet and putting its past behind it. He also expects good things from Pepsico but would also like to hear the company's stance on the pushback against sugary sodas.
Another busy day on Thursday, as Union Pacific (UNP) pulls into the station. Cramer said he'd be in this name on weakness. He was less bullish on Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) , a stock he said could see another down leg coming if same-store sales are not over 9%.Also reporting on Thursday, Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) . Cramer was bullish on Google but said that he's amazed that some analysts are predicting a shortfall for Microsoft ahead of a major product cycle, Windows 8.
Finally on Friday, General Electric (GE) and Honeywell (HON) report. Cramer was bullish on GE, an Action Alerts PLUS stock, as well as Honeywell, which he would buy on weakness. Then there was Schlumberger (SLB) , yet another Action Alerts PLUS name, and one that Cramer said has growth and profitability.
Speculation Friday
For "Speculation Friday," Cramer followed up on NPS Pharmaceuticals (NPSP) , a stock he featured on Sept. 18 on the premise the company would receive positive news from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in October. NPS did indeed receive that positive news, sending shares up 32% in just the three weeks since the mention. Cramer said investors should not be greedy and should ring the register on NPS.

Getting Hot In Miami
A couple of Phillies were getting hot, hot, hot in Miami tonight. At the plate, Carlos Ruiz ended the game only a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Not only was his bat hot, but he got big hits with 2 outs and in key situations, collecting 2 RBI's and scoring 2 runs. Ruiz had 4 hits on the night against the Marlins!
Ben Francisco was nipping at Ruiz's heels all night too. Both players hit solo homers in the 2nd inning, back-to-back. Francisco ended with 3 hits, an RBI and 2 runs scored. Wilson Valdez contributed 2 hits as well. With Ryan Howard being sent to the DL today and Chase Utley already on the DL, the Phillies needed other players to step up and add some pop to the line-up. Ruiz, Francisco and Valdez did just that.
No one appreciated the effort more than Roy Halladay, who has suffered from a lack of run support in games past. In fact, during the 4th inning, it looked like the Phils would let him down again when they had runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Cody Ransom got ahead in the count and then on the 2-0 pitch, he popped out, leaving the runners stranded. After an intentional walk to Valdez, Halladay decided to get the job done himself. A 2-out hit down the 3rd base line is just what the Doc ordered. Halladay collected 2 RBI and now has 3 RBI this year.
Not only was Halladay hot at the plate, but he looked like he was yielding a flame thrower on the mound. In 7 innings, the only run he allowed was a solo homer to Dan Uggla. He gave up 5 hits, 1 walk and struck out 9 batters. Halladay left the game drenched in sweat and with a 6-1 lead.
Chad Durbin was called upon to finish the game with 2 innings to go. He had a fairly quick 8th inning and ran into some trouble in the 9th. But Durbin buckled down and got the job done without allowing a run. For a bullpen that has been up and down all year, Durbin supplied a much needed boost of confidence.
So, who was not hot tonight? Jayson Werth got the Golden Sombrero by striking out 4 times. He has done that twice now this season; the last time was 5/30/10. Ransom went hitless and popped out twice. Raul Ibanez struck out twice, but did have one hit and a walk. Placido Polanco went 1 for 5. But they all picked a good day to have a bad day; with Halladay on the mound and their teammates picking them up, all is well that ends well.
Kyle Kendrick will pitch tomorrow against the Fish; game time is 7:10pm.

The Golden Sombrero must get really hot in August. Sometimes I think Disabled List is spelled WTF! : o
Mets beat the Braves tonight. That's gotta help.
Wowzahs! That fire comin' out of Doc's arm looks pretty convincing. I wouldn't ever want to face him. Hell, I'd be afraid to ask for an autograph even.
Jenn: Ryan Howard to the DL? That's so not fair. LOL that Halladay got a 2-run single. I love the cute little flame dude in the Halladay pic🙂
some players like to pitch in that humidity rather than the dry heat. I just rather watch them in the shade with a cold drink by my side. Good for Halladay! I love pitchers that can hit. Kuroda got to be the worst pitcher hitter.
Your drawings always make me laugh. Thanks for the email about the camera stuff! It really helped to have the opinion of someone who actually knows a little about it that isn't trying to sell me something! Hopefully next season I'll be able to put up some of my own pictures, too. That's what makes your blog stand out about others. Your personal pictures put yours in another category.
Do you thank your lucky stars every night that the Phillies signed Halladay? I would. Sigh.

Firefighters reinstated after contentious Bennington meetingBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | June 19,2013BENNINGTON — After a contentious meeting in a packed firehouse on Tuesday night, the chiefs of the Bennington Rural Fire Department voted to restore all 15 members who had been suspended last week to active duty.
Chief Shawn Gardner said he made the decision to "try to move this department forward."
The firefighters had been suspended because they were believed to have been involved in lighting a camper on fire at a Mudder's Day event on May 12. The host of the event, Milo Campbell, was at the meeting and spoke strongly in favor of returning the firefighters to active duty.
Mudder's Day, which has taken place for six years, includes mud pits through which people drive as part of the day's contests and events.
The 15 people, most of whom were at Tuesday's meeting, were suspended because of a state investigation into the incident. The Bennington Rural Fire Department's bylaws call for a member to be "granted a leave of absence" if he or she is being investigated or charged with a crime related to the fire department.
About 100 people were at the meeting at the fire department's Willow Road firehouse. Many of them made angry comments about Gardner, accusing him of not standing behind his men.
There are two fire departments in Bennington, the Bennington Fire Department which is overseen by the town and the Bennington Rural Fire Department which is funded by taxes collected within the fire district and overseen by a prudential committee.
On Monday, Joseph T. Hayes, a member of the prudential committee and fire department, was arraigned in Bennington District Court on a felony count of embezzlement. Hayes, who pleaded innocent, was accused of being involved in a raffle which was supposed to benefit the department. However, police said some of the raffle's winners and the fire department itself were never given their winnings.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

I am going to ask my OB during my next visit. I have had a breast reduction, and have had thyroid issues with my first pregnancy which dried up my milk completely. I want to be prepared for my son who is due this May.

Jim Lentz, president of U.S. Toyota sales, acknowledges that the situation is embarrassing, "but it doesn't mean we (have) lost our edge on quality."
Maybe not. But here's the problem. First we learned of the accelerator problem. And now we're hearing about braking problems with the Lexus and Prius. If we just had the accelerator issue, consumers might be willing to give Toyota the benefit of the doubt. But with other problems coming to light, consumers may now question who Toyota really is.
Is Toyota the auto company who can be counted on to build reliable, high-performing vehicles? Or is Toyota a brand that's no more trustworthy than any of the other big brands?
Toyota has always ranked exceptionally well in the perception of value category. The current crisis now threatens to undermine that precious asset.
What's the lesson?
Well, for starters, you can never let up on guarding your reputation.
As I've said many times before, brand building is a marathon event (probably more like an ultra-marathon). It's tough, takes a long, long time and there's no shortcuts. You build your brand mile by mile by mile.
But if you let up for a moment, if you slip, if you fail to do what you need to do, if you let your customers down, brand value that's taken decades to build can be destroyed in an instant.
Guarding your brand's reputation must be an obsession. It's a total commitment.
Through all of the media reports on Toyota's troubles, one of the ideas put forth is that the Japanese auto manufacturer had gotten complacent and overly focused on growth.
In fact, you can go back as early as 2005 and 2006, Toyota was talking then about the need to fight complacency and re-focus on quality even as it pursued growth across the globe.
Wasn't it the Japanese who taught us that the relentless pursuit of quality and continuous improvement is key to growth?
For Toyota, the worst may not be over. We're hearing reports that Toyota knew about the accelerator problem for over two years. And according to a U.S. House of Representatives committee, the sudden acceleration problem has been linked to 19 deaths in the last decade.
I think this is the most troublesome part of this story… that Toyota may have hid from its own problems. All of the sudden, it's not just reliability and quality issues, it's a question of integrity.
My view: Toyota will need to work hard, very hard, to bounce back from this crisis. They need to earn back the trust they've lost, and they need to rebuild the perception of high value.
Part of the value of having a strong brand is the ability to weather a storm when things go against you. Toyota will benefit from the brand equity it's built with consumers, especially Toyota loyalists. But rebuilding the brand equity lost won't happen overnight. It's going to take years.

Shrem Museum Groundbreaking
The ceremonial groundbreaking for the Shrem Museum took place at 3:00pm on Saturday, March 1, 2014 at the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for Performing Arts.

Afterwards, guests were welcomed to join an art fair and reception. Students had artwork on display, and the museum's architects gave a talk at 4:30pm.

If you're a Wisconsin or Minnesota Powerball player who was ready to quit your job if you won the $587.5 million jackpot, you might want to tear up that resignation letter.
The two winning tickets were sold in Arizona and Missouri, although Wisconsin and Minnesota did have some smaller winners of their own.
State lottery officials say a $1 million ticket, matching all five numbers but not the Powerball, was sold in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis. Ten other tickets that matched four of the five numbers along with the Powerball in Wisconsin won $10,000, including one that was quadrupled because the player bought the Power Play multiplier feature.
In Minnesota, one ticket was sold Winona County is worth $1 million. Six other tickets were sold worth $10,000.
Winners have six months to claim their prizes.
The numbers that Powerball players should have played for Wednesday's drawing were 5, 16, 22, 23 and 29, and a Powerball of 6.
The next Powerball jackpot is worth $40 million.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

F-bomb makes it into mainstream dictionary
By LEANNE ITALIE, Associated Press Aug 13, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) It's about freakin' time.
The term "F-bomb" surfaced in newspapers more than 20 years ago but will land Tuesday for the first time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, along with sexting, flexitarian, obesogenic, energy drink and life coach.
In all, the company picks about 100 additions for the 114-year-old dictionary's annual update, gathering evidence of usage over several years in everything from media to the labels of beer bottles and boxes of frozen food.

The project to repair the dam on Gabriel Road in the Town of Bethel has seen numerous obstacles since it washed out in 2005. The latest cropped up at the town meeting on April 28.
Supervisor Dan Sturm said the NY Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is requiring that the town produce an evaluation of how the project might impact bald eagles and golden eagles in the area.
The DEC says this is necessary because the area is mapped as having bald eagle habitat within a half mile of the project. A DEC representative is going to inspect the site and, if all goes well, once that is done, the town's application for a Stream Disturbance Permit will be deemed complete. Then, after a 30-day public-comment period on the application, the permit may be issued and work can begin.
The work calls for a metal-arch pipe culvert to be placed in the breach through the dam. The pipe will measure some 7'5" high, 11'7" wide and 36" long. Sturm would like the work to be finished this year.
When it is complete, it will mark the end of a rather complex process that began before 2002, when plans were made to upgrade the dam. The dam itself is on private property, but the road that goes over the dam is a town road. In order to fix the dam, the town had to come to an agreement with the property owner, Warren Brey.
The DEC also had a say about how the dam should be repaired because that agency has jurisdiction over dam safety. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) also had input because the dam is in a federal wetland.
And yet another agency had an interest in the matter: the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Back in 2006, an application had been filed with SHPO to determine whether the dam is eligible to be placed on the New York State Historic Register. It was determined that the dam is eligible, and even though the dam has not been listed on the register, according to spokesman Dan Keefe, SHPO would likely be asked to give advice about the restoration project.
He said SHPO's mission is to help insure that any preservation work to facilities, such as the dam, is done in a way that minimizes harm to its historical value.
Finally, the other agency involved was the Federal Management Emergency Agency (FEMA). Because the dam was damaged during a flood and FEMA has once provided some money for dam repairs, that agency also had a stake in the matter. The money, however, was ultimately returned to FEMA.
With all of these various interests involved, progress has been stalled. Sturm said the board started fresh last year, with the aim of working with the DEC to focus specifically on getting the road open. The road is needed for emergency vehicles and, without it, residents must travel several additional miles to get to Jeffersonville.
So far, he said, things are going as planned. No other agencies have put up any roadblocks and the town is working with Brey to address as many of his concerns as possible.

Mutual Funds by Design (What Is a Mutual Fund?)
Step 1: What Is A Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is an investment company that pools investors' money to invest in securities. An open-end mutual fund continuously issues new shares when investors want to invest in the fund, and it redeems shares when investors want to sell. A mutual fund trades directly with its shareholders, and the share price of the fund represents the market value of the securities that the fund holds.
There are several advantages that mutual funds offer individual investors. They provide:

- Professional investment management usually at a low cost, even for small accounts;
- A diversified group of securities that only a large portfolio can provide;
- Information through prospectuses and annual reports that facilitates comparisons among funds;
- Special services such as check writing, dividend reinvestment plans, telephone switching, and periodic withdrawal and investment plans;
- Account statements that make it easy to track the value of your investment and that ease the paperwork at tax time.
Successful investing takes time and effort, and it requires special knowledge and relevant, up-to-date information. Investors must spend a considerable amount of energy searching for opportunities and monitoring each investment. Professional investment management is relatively cheap with mutual funds. The typical adviser charges about 0.5% annually for managing a fund's assets. For an individual making a $10,000 investment, that comes to only $50 a year.
