Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Audit and Control votes down proposed salary hike
MAYVILLE – The Audit and Control Committee unanimously shut down any idea of salary increases for elected county employees.
The committee met this week to discuss four local laws establishing the salary for county legislators, executive, clerk and sheriff. Unlike the Administrative Services Committee, which heard the local laws Monday and voted down salary levels to the legislature and sheriff while making recommendations for changes to the county executive and clerk salaries, the Audit and Control Committee unanimously voted down each local law.
The Salary Review Committee recommended that, as of Jan. 1, 2014, base salary for legislators increase from $9,000 to $12,000 per year. It also recommended the chairman of the legislature receive an additional $8,000; majority and minority leaders an additional $1,000; assistant majority and minority leaders an additional $500; each committee chairman an additional $1,000; and each ranking member of committees an additional $250.
For the county executive position, the committee recommended an annual salary of $109,480, effective Jan. 1, 2014. According to seethroughny.net, County Executive Greg Edwards received a salary of $85,000 in 2012.
The committee recommended that the county clerk position salary be $68,264, beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Sandy Sopak, current county clerk, received a salary of $53,640 in 2011, according to seethroughny.net.
The committee also recommended an increase for the position of county sheriff. In 2011, Sheriff Joseph Gerace received a salary of $83,740, according to seethroughny.net. Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, the Salary Review Committee recommended a salary of $87,450.
"Personally speaking, I've made no secret about this, I can't in good conscience support any pay raise for elected officials in Chautauqua County," said committee Chairman John Runkle, R-Stockton.
George Borrello, R-Irving, agreed with Runkle, stating that he does not know anyone who is a legislator because of the salary.
"I try to look at things from a business perspective," Borrello said. "When it comes to something like the county executive, the chief executive officer of a $265 million budget, that's a big responsibility, and you want qualified people to, quote-unquote, apply for the job."
David Himelein, R-Findley Lake, also spoke up to express his opinion during the committee meeting.
"This whole system where you look at it every five years and give somebody a raise that hasn't even been in office before, that doesn't even know what the job totally entails, and they're going to get a 20 percent raise, I think is not very wise," Himelein said. "Maybe we should restructure how we go about paying our elected officials, and have it on a cost-of-living basis, or some other basis, rather than waiting every five years and having to give great big salary increases."
The full legislature will review the local laws Wednesday at its regular meeting. During this time, legislators have the ability to recommend changes to the local laws, which will then need to wait 30 days before the changes may be voted upon.

Merchant Warehouse Introduces Genius(TM): The First Customer Engagement Platform(TM) for the Payment Solutions IndustryThe Genius Platform Is the First Acceptance Solution Designed to Securely Handle All Current and Future Payment Types as Well as Value-Add Gift, Loyalty and Promotion Programs (June 12, 2012)
BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/12/12 -- Merchants and point-of-sale developers are struggling with rapidly evolving consumer payment technologies, rewards and loyalty programs and other value-add offers designed to enhance the merchant-consumer experience. From the number of mobile payment options available to ensuring new transaction types maintain PCI compliance, emerging payment technologies and related programs have been viewed as a source of confusion and disruption. Today, Merchant Warehouse®, a leader and innovator in payment solutions, ushered in the future of customer engagement and value-add merchant programs with Genius, the first acceptance solution designed to securely handle all current and future payment types.
Genius Features:
The Genius Customer Engagement Platform is able to aggregate and integrate every conceivable transaction technology, payment type and customer program -- both present and future -- into a single countertop device. Genius was created to address three common pain points felt by merchants, POS developers and payment providers: choice, security and access.
- Unlimited Choice
Genius seamlessly incorporates payment and offers alternatives through a configurable Customer Engagement Device (CED) that displays the payment and program offer applications. Genius accepts all types of mobile payments including NFC, QR codes and mobile wallets as well as loyalty, gifting and rewards programs. Both merchants and customers will realize a significantly enhanced merchant-customer experience from the flexibility to choose among payment types, offers and value-add programs for each transaction. Now, merchants and POS developers can choose to implement the payment options that best suit theirs and their customers' needs.
- Unified Security
With Genius, Merchant Warehouse is helping merchants and POS providers solve their biggest security and compliance challenges while simultaneously preparing them for the future of payments and value-add programs. A PCI compliant solution, Genius combines end-to-end encryption and tokenization that splits sensitive and non-sensitive data to reduce the risk of merchant security breaches. POS developers are taken out of PA-DSS scope.
- Open Access
Merchants and POS developers using Genius have access to all payment types and value-add programs such as gift, loyalty, couponing and others. For example, Genius's payments solution partner LevelUp gives merchants immediate access to a mobile payments solution with zero processing fees. Further, Genius's cloud-based architecture constantly and seamlessly updates the platform, giving merchants and POS developers the opportunity to easily integrate current and future payment types without business disruption. Access to new payment types means merchants are able to quickly adapt to consumer payment trends and avoid using antiquated solutions.
The Genius Customer Engagement Platform helps merchants and POS developers grow their business and realize the promise of the future.
- Gain new customers with such a simple approach to having so many options;
- Add value through combinations of offers and programs to retain existing customers;
- Reduce hardware costs; and
- Reduce compliance costs.
"The payment solutions industry is evolving at a dramatic pace, which is resulting in disruption, uncertainty and complexity for merchants. To be successful in today's payments environment, merchants must be able to choose the best payment, offer and program options for their businesses and their customers, as well as take advantage of emerging technologies, in a simple, flexible, secure and unified manner. Genius's cloud-architected model is the first industry innovation that finally brings unlimited choice, unified security and open access to merchants and POS developers to help grow their businesses."
- Henry Helgeson, Co-CEO, Merchant Warehouse
Industry Analyst Quote:
"Merchants drive new payment systems. In the next five years, we are facing the biggest payments disruption ever, and merchants will drive it. They will also be focused on integration solutions that meet today's challenges and prepare them for what is to come in the future."
- Avivah Litan, vice president and distinguished analyst, Gartner Research
Genius Testimonials:
"The way Genius is able to evolve over time to continuously meet any merchant's payment and customer engagement needs maps perfectly with LevelUp's goal of creating a flawless mobile payment experience while motivating repeat business. Plus, merchants pay zero processing fees on any LevelUp transaction. Genius's seamless integration with LevelUp makes it possible for merchants to immediately stop paying processing fees."
- Seth Priebatsch, chief ninja, LevelUp
"The power of Genius is its ability to eliminate merchants' concerns and confusion over all of the growing payment, programs and offers upheaval, and at the same time they're able to easily leverage Genius as a way to significantly enhance their customers' experience and gain competitive advantage. Genius is a clear win-win."

Students visit Adult Day Care Present Center
JAMESTOWN – Students from the Maple Grove High School junior class visited the Chautauqua Adult Day Care Present Center over the holidays. The students made chocolate-covered pretzels with the participants.
They worked with each other and melted the chocolate, prepared the toppings and reminisced with the elderly about their favorite Christmases. Others helped make decorative homemade cookie jars that were given away as Christmas gifts. After lunch, the clients were treated to Christmas carols sung by the students and joined in with some of the lyrics, which was fun for all.
Chautauqua Adult Day Care Centers, Inc., offers senior day programs for adults sixty years of age and older who live in the community. The centers provide socialization and offer many opportunities for clients to participate in activities during the day in a caring friendly atmosphere. Senior Day Programs provide supportive staff, a secure group setting, supervision, meals, social work services, recreation and companionship. In addition, the agency now has a Saturday program in Jamestown that focuses on participants being very involved in attending local events and outdoor recreation every week as well as eating home-cooked meals.
The Chautauqua Adult Day Care Centers, Inc., is a not-for-profit United Way agency that provides an affordable day program for older adults in the community to remain independent and at home.

Striking back: KBIC blasts Snyder in casino battle
MARQUETTE – The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community said it is appalled by Gov. Rick Snyder's decision to oppose the relocation of one of its casinos to the old Marquette County Airport.
The KBIC was looking to move its Ojibwa II Casino in Chocolay Township to the former airport site in Negaunee Township. Snyder rejected the proposal Tuesday, which was the deadline for him to act on it.
The U.S. Department of the Interior approved the proposal in late 2011. The governor's consent would have allowed the Interior Department to acquire the land in trust for the tribe's gaming purposes.
According to a press release from the KBIC, the tribe has been working on the project to move the casino for 15 years. Then in 2000, then Gov. John Engler signed an agreement with KBIC to relocate the casino to the airport parcel.
"Since that time, KBIC has worked with the federal government and local units of government completing the necessary process and getting their consent for the move," the press release said. "All the parties agreed that relocation of the casino would be in the best interests of the surrounding communities and KBIC."
In a consent judgment on Feb. 2, 2000, made in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Michigan, it was found that the moving the casino from its current location to the airport parcel is likely in the best interest of the KBIC and its members and is not detrimental to the surrounding community.
Under federal law, all that remained for the relocation was for Snyder to concur with the federal government's findings that a gaming establishment on newly acquired lands would be in the best interest of the Indian tribe and its members and gaming on the newly acquired lands would not be detrimental to the surrounding community, according to the KBIC.
The KBIC also said it finds it appalling that Snyder's letter to the federal government declining to concur fails to address the only two allowable issues for his consideration.
The letter stated that Snyder attempted to enter into negotiations with the tribe, looking to "reach an agreement that would benefit the tribe, the local community, and the state." One of the issues Snyder hoped to address was the tribe considering taking property along U.S. 41 into trust for the purpose of selling tax-free gasoline.
In January, a letter sent by Snyder's legal counsel to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Michigan Agency stated that the gas station may be "unlawful" and could provide "an unfair commercial advantage over surrounding competitors."
According the KBIC, tribal representatives had a brief meeting with Snyder that was unproductive. The KBIC also said it invited Snyder to come to the Upper Peninsula to discuss the issue, but was never taken up on its offer.
The KBIC said it believes the real issue is that Michigan is considering legislation to expand the state lottery to allow for online gaming. If the state passes these provisions, KBIC could withhold its revenue sharing payment under the current gaming agreement.
"Governor Snyder wanted to use the transfer of the Marquette Casino as leverage to force KBIC to continue to make payments despite expanded state gaming in violation of the gaming agreement," said the KBIC in a press release. "The governor is more concerned about payments to Lansing than creating jobs here and benefiting local units of government."
The KBIC said it is asking that Snyder do what was required of him and give due consideration to the only two allowable issues and the voices of the local governments that moving the Marquette casino from Chocolay Township to the former airport property is in the best interests of the state, its citizens and the tribe.
"While Governor Snyder states that he has 'significant concerns with the tribe's conduct,' KBIC is concerned about the conduct of a governor who refuses to uphold the agreements of the Office of the Governor of the State of Michigan," KBIC said.
Payments amounting to 2 percent of gaming revenues are made each May and November to local units of government. According to the KBIC, local units of government have a wide range of control as to how the money is awarded. Distribution for the period from Oct. 1, 2012, through March 30 for Marquette County, which was made from the Ojibwa II Casino, was $161,435.40.

While fishing Canadaway Creek at Laona Falls recently, Tom Buck of Cassadaga made a bigger catch than he could ever expect. A young boy suddenly appeared in the water and tumbled over the falls, head over heels, before going under twice. Mr. Buck started toward the boy and was aided by a current which brought the youngster closer to the bank. They grabbed for each other and the boy caught hold. Once out of the water, the boy continued up the embankment until he was out of sight. He was not seen again and the identity of the boy remains unknown.

October 17 AFL Recap; Solar Sox Bats Go Quiet
Cubs prospect Dae-Eun Rhee got the start in this one and unfortunately he also got the loss. Rhee gave up three runs on five hits, he didn't walk anyone, and he struck out four in four innings. With the rough outing Rhee dropped to 0-1 on the AFL season, and his ERA jumped to 7.50. Tony Zych also got a chance to throw in this one and once again he tossed a scoreless inning, par for the course for Zych so far this Fall. Matt Szczur was 1-for-3 from the lead off spot, he also drew a walk and was caught stealing for the first time this season. No other Cubs got a chance to swing the bat in this one, with the loss the Mesa Solar Sox drop to 3-5 on the campaign.
Thanks for reading,
– George

Rated 5 out of 5 by Asdf from Great Bag I bought this bag two years ago and have used it in high single digit temps comfortably (I'm from Alaska so I might sleep hotter than the average guy). I've used it on the Oregon Coast, in British Columbia, the Sierra Nevadas, and all over Alaska and it's put up well with some regular abuse. I'm 6', 175lbs and the regular fits me perfect. I've honestly never been a fan of Marmot, but I found this bag for a great deal and read great reviews. I am now a Marmot fan and if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy this bag in a heartbeat.

Children always eye on the latest game console in the market and the Nintendo DS and DS Lite is just one of them. It has been unraveled by the UK Customs Department that fake Nintendo game consoles are being sold online for half the rates of the original prices. Children who are net users can be easily hooked to the offers and buy them using their parents' cards. The goods are delivered and the console works well for sometime. But, there's a rub. The power adapters in these fake Nintendo consoles pose fire threat to your home or kid's place. It is said that the adapters could burst into flames at anytime, placing kids at high risk.
Avoid buying anything that is offered for an unbelievably low price. Suspect the offer for fraudulence and make a decision only after you have verified all the details. In this case, the risk is higher than losing a few dollars – its your child's life.

World champion and current world No. 1 finally won a title in Malaysia when she captured the Maybank Malaysia Open presented by Proton on Sunday.
The Shanghai native (left), who turns 24 on Wednesday, was a beaten finalist at last year's tournament and in 2010 she lost her match in the Uber Cup final at Putra Stadium which helped South Korea to a surprise victory in the women's team world championships.
On Sunday, Wang Yihan made no mistakes as she outgunned 2010 Malaysia Open champion and teammate Wang Xin 21-19, 21-11 for her first OSIM BWF World Superseries title of the season.
"Last year I lost in the final (to Wang Shixian), so I'm happy to win my first title in Malaysia," said an emotional Wang Yihan, who closed out 2011 by bagging the Li Ning BWF World Superseries Finals a month ago.
"The strong draft on the court did affect the way we played. To be honest, neither Shixian nor I were in the best conditions as it was a long hard 2011 and we have started the year with back-to-back tournaments, starting with South Korea last week.
"I learnt from my defeats in Malaysia, especially the 2010 Uber Cup and now I understand my weaknesses better.
"I'm thankful to come back so quickly. I lost in this venue twice in the past two years and this time I was determined to do better. That was what I've been thinking of since the quarter-finals."
Wang Xin (right), who won a season leading four Superseries crowns in 2011 – Singapore, Denmark, French and Hong Kong – admitted her eagerness to wrap up the first game was the cause of her defeat.
"I didn't feel good on the court. I wasn't patient enough and I was not able to play my normal game," said Wang Xin
"The first game was the key. The moment I loss it, I knew it would be difficult to come back."
Meanwhile, world champions Zhang Nan-Zhao Yunlei also won their first ever Malaysia Open title when they defeated second seeds Xu Chen-Ma Jin in straight games (left).
The top seeds dominated their teammates from the start to carve out a 21-12, 21-9 victory.
"We were playing teammates and we couldn't really get into the game the way we wanted it. It felt like a training match but overall we're still happy to have won," said Zhang Nan.

Singles: Lee Chong Wei (Malaysia) bt Kenichi Tago (Japan) 21-6, 21-13.

Singles: Wang Yihan (China) bt Wang Xin (China) 21-19, 21-11.
Doubles: Christinna Pedersen-Kamilla Rytter-Juhl (Denmark) bt Ha Jung Eun-Kim Min Jung (KOR) 21-19, 21-18.

Italian Cheese Fondue
- 8 ounces grated Fontina
- 8 ounces grated Gruyere
- 5 teaspoons cornstarch
- 6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
- 2 cups dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- Bite-size pieces of focaccia, sliced salami, fresh fennel, Belgian endive, steamed broccoli florets and asparagus spears, for dipping
Toss the Fontina and Gruyere cheese with the cornstarch in a medium bowl to coat. Saute the pancetta in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a plate. Pour off any excess oil. Pour the wine into the same saucepan and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to medium. Whisk 1 handful of the cheese mixture into the wine until it is almost melted. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture in about 4 more batches. Continue whisking until the cheese is completely melted and the fondue bubbles, about 1 minute. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the pancetta. Season the fondue with pepper, to taste.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot. Sprinkle with the remaining pancetta and chives. Set the pot over a candle or a canned heat burner. Serve with focaccia and vegetables.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: My homecoming half - worth every stepIn full: This was always going to be the race I was aiming for - the very first race I signed up to and my homecoming of sorts. From the very start at the baggage drop things were brilliant. Lovely polite cadets, lovely runners, Macmillan people who when they saw my Mac vest gave me a brilliant welcome.Started on time (always good), excellent marshalls and lovely supporters along the way, endless encouragement from passers by and perfectly times water stops. The electrolyte stop at Saltram was a hugely welcomed sight for my flagging energy levels too.Crossing the finish line was amazing, hand in hand with other runners and a brilliant reception. Medal as we came off was a lovely touch. One of the brilliant cadets saw my race number and ran over with my bag for me, the nicest thing anyone has ever done. Excellent podiatrists too with no waiting!Thank you for a brilliant morning!Date of review: June 4, 2012
In short: Worth the sun burn!In full: Despite being in unholy amounts of pain today, I'm glad I did it! Good start, nicely signposted, excellent water stations and lovely marshalls. my one major gripe? If you say the roads are going to be closed, close them! Don't allow traffic back on BOTH sides of the road! That was not fair and more than a little bit dangerous! Other than that (and my very sore feet) a brilliant day.Excellent monitoring of finishers by the St Johns Ambulance too - they spotted I was in trouble before I knew I was - lovely medics looked after me in the finishers area. Date of review: May 14, 2012
In short: Just brilliant! We'll be back!In full: A brilliant race! Excellent venue, really well organised and marshalled, nice challenging course for a novice and a brilliant goodie bag at the end!It was exactly as advertised, 2 laps of both "sections" of both grass (not my favourite) and road/pavement. Friendly spectators, encouraging marshalls, well placed water and jelly baby stops even if the hill wasn't any easier the second time round!Brilliant idea of having the chip as part of the race number along with personalised race numbers - so lovely to have your name yelled in encouragement when flagging! Cannot believe how much fun I had, cannot wait for next year! This was my first 10k and has given me such a boost in confidence and smiles. Well done Lymm and the Race Director - you did an amazing job!Date of review: April 15, 2012
In short: My first 5k race - I might come back :)In full: My 1st 5k race was a bit bonkers - but it was very friendly for this new runner. The hills were horrible, the mud was muddy, lovely stadium/track start and finish. Boomerang was a quirky memento...would have really liked a proper chip time but for the 1st time racer, it didn't terrify me!Date of review: February 19, 2012

GSUSA has been in the media quite a bit lately, and unfortunately, some of the press has not been positive. This is never helpful for us. Some of the reports have focused on the staff cuts at GSUSA.
Once the realignment was complete across the United States, it became critical to determine whether the staff at GSUSA is appropriately aligned to serve 112 councils, which is the current number of high-capacity councils vs. 330 councils, which is the number in existence seven years ago.
With GSSA's realignment, we serve our girls with fewer staff than one of the previous legacy councils had. That is good news that translates more funding directly for girls programs and needs. A consulting firm that specializes in this type of work managed GSUSA's staff realignment, which was called Customer Focus Forward. Part of their assignment was to survey members across the U.S. to determine what services high- capacity councils needs vs. what council needs were seven years ago. I know CEO Anna Maria Chavez, and she is trying to move GSUSA forward to better serve girls.
Another focus of media attention is the sale of camp properties across the U.S. to fund the GSUSA retirement plan. Some of you might have received e-mail recently from GSUSA asking you to contact your Congressional representative about this. As with many retirement plans, the in which GSSA participates was administered by GSUSA. The plan was well funded for many years. Then, as the economy became volatile, like many plans in the U.S., it became underfunded. We are required to keep the plan fully funded, which drains precious resources in difficult economic times. I have spoken with some of our Congressional staff about this, but if you know them, I would encourage you to also add your voice to this conversation. We are not asking to have a reprieve from our financial obligations, but would appreciate some budget relief on the fully funded part of the issue for a span of time.
A part of the media attention is also focused on selling camp properties at other Girl Scout councils. When councils realigned, some had many more camps than they could handle financially. We are fortunate and have four camp properties that are at comfortable distances from one another to serve our constituents. We are not planning to sell any properties at this time. In fact, we have a master plan for property development that we are working on. However, two of our camps are on lease,s and although we have renegotiated both leases, there are no guarantees when you operate leased properties.
Hopefully, the media will take a long hard look at all the good Girl Scouts produces. But one of my friends, who is a national correspondent for a news station reminds me, good news doesn't sell.

Artist: J. Laurie WallaceDimensions: 2 ½ x 3 feetLocation: W. Dale Clark, Administrative OfficesInstalled: 1977
Nebraska author John G. Neihardt watches over the Administrative Offices in the W. Dale Clark Library.
The portrait features a seated Neihardt gazing at the viewer with folded arms.
J. Laurie Wallace painted the portrait in 1922. Wallace has an excellent reputation as
an artist. His portraits are particularly known as being of the highest artistic quality as well as
capturing the spirit of the subject.
John Laurie Wallace was born in Garvagh, Ireland, in 1864. He immigrated to the United States as
a child of four. He later became a student of American painter Thomas Eakins. Wallace came to Omaha,
Nebraska, in 1891. He enjoyed the area so much he didn't leave until 1927. He died in California in
1953 at 89 years of age. J. Laurie Wallace is buried in Omaha's Forest Lawn Cemetery. Wallace's influence
as a painter, sculptor and teacher continue to reach art lovers everywhere.

It's a great time to be a Crew fan. With feisty forwards Federico Higuain and Jairo Arrieta in tow, Columbus has surged into playoff position and shows no signs of cooling down with the weather. But there's another game in town this week for footy fans: The U.S. national team is hosting Jamaica in a World Cup qualifying match Tuesday at Crew Stadium.
As usual, it's been a year of ups and downs for the Yanks, but new Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann has his team mostly taking forward steps. The U.S. toppled Italy on the road this year and beat Mexico at the mile-high Mexico City stronghold Azteca Stadium for the first time. And though they struggled in a 0-0 draw against middling Canada and got reamed 4-1 by Brazil, they've showed their strength so far in World Cup qualifying.
That process continues this week with a home-and-home against Jamaica. The teams meet Friday in Kingston then face off Tuesday in Columbus. Here's a breakdown of who to keep an eye on as the Yanks go back-to-back with the Reggae Boyz.
Forwards: Star striker Clint Dempsey, who recently transferred from Fulham to elite Premier League contender Tottenham Hotspur, could see his first competitive action since June in these matches. (And with Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley out with injuries, Dempsey's talent and veteran leadership will be extra valuable.) On-and-off star Jozy Altidore will need to come up big, too.
Midfield: This is where the domestic league's growth will be measured. MLS stars Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Brek Shea (FC Dallas) and Graham Zusi (Sporting KC) seem primed to make an impact.
Defenders: Longtime captain Carlos Bocanegra remains in the fold. Newcomer Michael Orozco Fiscal, who scored the game-winner at Mexico, will be in the building, too. And with players logging time in the top leagues of England (Geoff Cameron, Maurice Edu) and Germany (Steve Cherundolo, Fabian Johnson), the U.S. backline looks stacked.
Goalkeeper: As usual, Everton stud Tim Howard will protect the net. Tim Howard — you know him, you love him.

Prep Roundup (2-8-13)
GAYLORD-The Alpena boys basketball team (9-4 overall, 5-4 Big North) travelled to Gaylord (1-12, 0-7) on Friday and took out the Blue Devils 60-44.
The first quarter saw Alpena take a 19-9 lead that head coach John Pintar believed as vital to his team's success.
"Once we got that nice 10 point lead it helped us moved confidently offensively, using our size as an advantage. They had one big guy we have at least three," he said.
The first half ended 32-23 in favor of Alpena while the third quarter ended 47- 27 with Gaylord scoring only four points.
"The defense was also big in the second half especially in that third quarter when we got that 20 point lead. That really put the game away," Pintar said.
Gaylord outscored Alpena in the fourth quarter but it was too little too late.
Luke Cordes scored 24 points for Alpena while Andy Marwede got 14. Kam Fitzek contributed nine.
Tyler Frisch of Gaylord scored 19.
The JV team won 52-51 against Gaylord with Cody Tucker knocking down 15 points. The freshman team lost 58-44 with Braedon Worth hitting 10 and Kolin Ghidoni hitting 8.
Alpena hosts the Sault make up game on Monday.
Fairview 51,
Atlanta 45
ATLANTA The Atlanta boys basketball team (4-7 overall, 3-8 North Star League) hosted the Fairview boys (4-9, 4-6 NSL) on Friday and came up short in a 51 to 45 loss.
The first quarter saw Atlanta ahead 16-12 but Fairview took the lead 26-24 at the half. Fairview kept their two point lead in the third with a 40-38 lead that they stretched to 51-45 by the end.
Top scorers for Fairview included Kasson Willobee with 19, Hudson Szubelak with 16 and Austin Handrich with 11. Garrett Badgero of Atlanta had 17 while Jacob Dobbyn had 14.
Atlanta travels to Posen on Tuesday while Fairview hosts Hillman the same night.

Toshiba Corp., one of the world's largest makers of flash memory, on Tuesday said it would start mass production of its next-generation SDHC and SDXC flash memory cards with improved performance and up to 64GB capacity in Spring 2010.
Toshiba's new Secure Digital memory cards boast with 60MB/s read speed and 35MB/s write speed, which is faster compared to cards available today. Furthermore, the company's upcoming SDHC memory cards will be available in 16GB and 32GB capacities, whereas the SDXC card will offer leading-edge capacity of whopping 64GB.
The new SDXC and SDHC memory cards are the world's first memory cards compliant with the SD Memory Card Standard Ver. 3.00, UHS104, which brings a new level of ultra-fast read and write speeds to NAND flash based memory cards. Users interested in getting the new memory cards should ensure that their SD devices support the new specification.
SDXC Memory Card is the next-generation SD memory card standard defined by the SD Association in April 2009, in order to meet the ever-growing demand for high-capacity memory media, offering higher transfer rates for content rich storage applications. The new SDXC memory card standard applies to cards with capacities over 32GB and up to 2TB compared to the SDHC standard, which applies to cards with capacities from 4GB to 32GB.
Sample shipments of the new SDXC Memory Cards for OEM manufacturers will start this November, and of the new SDHC Memory Cards in December. Both products will be available at retailers next spring.

LOCAL BOOK: Poems offer nostalgic look at life
"Tin Cans and Toothpicks and Other Treasures," by Dorothy Striegel, Dorrance Publishing, $39
CANON CITY — At 92 years young, Dorothy "Tiny" Striegel is just hitting her stride, having penned her fifth book.
Striegel's "Tin Cans and Toothpicks and Other Treasures" is a charming collection of poetry that paints a nostalgic view of life. Humorous observations and wistful recollections are the meat of the poems.
Striegel's prose takes readers back to the author's childhood home, where her father stokes the morning fire and her mother sews clothes from flour sacks. Her poems also focus on her later years, where she delights in the privileges of aging, from naps to ice cream lunches with pals.
The 190-page hardcover book retails for $39. An ebook form is available for $34. The book was published by Dorrance Publishing Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. It can be purchased online at www.dorrancebookstore.com.

Classism: beyond being nice to poor people
As I moved from being politically progressive to a radical leftist, I began to question how I could fight "classism" by going beyond advocating being nice to poor people but actually challenging what causes poverty in the first place. My friend JOMO recently wrote a post called Queer Liberation is Class Struggle that articulates many of my problems with middle class activists challenging "classism" without challenging capitalism. She calls for analysis of oppression that goes deeper than simple "intersections" that compartmentalize our identities. She powerfully argues that queer liberation is invested in class struggle.
Here's a few of my favorite passages:
The erasure of class in the intersectionality theory is most clearly expressed through the replacement of class oppression with the defanged term, "classism." Rather than advocating for class struggle of the working class and the poor taking over the means of production and the running of society, the "classism" analysis is an attempt to raise the consciousness of the rich, to be NICE, FRIENDLY, SENSITIVE to their poorer brethren. Under "classism" ideology, working and poor folks become the rich man's burden, not an agent for change in our own right. In fact, the organizing that arises from such an ideology is as condescending and patronizing toward working class and poor folk as the snobbishness it aims to criticize.
On the criminalization of non-nuclear, non-heteronormative families:
Yet under capitalism, these [non-nuclear] families are illegitimate. Single mother households, or households with people with disabilities, or extended families with elderly and young dependents, or communities that take in non-blood relatives as their own, struggle to survive off of welfare checks or minimal paychecks. These families do not readily and predictably churn out the future, obedient disciplined workers that will deliver their bodies to capitalism, in exchange for a pittance of a wage. Our rejection of capitalist discipline is written off, as our cultural inadequacies. Perceiving our labor as unwanted and untrustworthy, capitalists reject us from the economy and ship us off to prisons, nursing homes, mental institutions or into the informal economy of the streets, still managing in the process, to extract some profit for themselves through our oppression.
Criticism of non-profits as a "solution":
Middle class ideology cannot liberate us because it reiterates capitalist attacks on our chosen, non-heteronormative families. It will teach us to reject the families we have, and to settle for the more nuclear, more hetero, the more "responsible" family. Yet another non profit will offer us job training programs for the worst, cheapest, most demeaning service sector jobs and expect us to be thankful. Clinton's welfare act did just that and masqueraded itself as a well-meaning "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" program. This is couched in terms of us learning "life skills," learning to be responsible citizens under a capitalist system, to unlearn our rebellion. Yet there is no understanding that many of us disdain these programs and these jobs, not because we are lazy, but because class oppression at the workplace, in the service sector is not a desirable alternative. That we would find a minimum wage job ruled by an increasingly heavy- handed managements, demeaning and undesirable, is then blamed on us: We are undeserving, lazy and untrustworthy.
On working class men's investment in liberation:
The fraternity of male supremacy also institutionalizes this division to prevent male workers from questioning their own oppressions — there is always someone worse off. Through the process of slavery and white supremacy, the U.S. ruling class realized that it could keep white workers under its thumb by giving them better wages and other benefits denied to Black workers. It encouraged them to reflect on the fact that, as miserable as they may be, at least they're not Black. Similarly, too many male workers congratulate themselves for not being sexualized, objectified and devalued as women workers under the capitalist system. There is always someone worse off. Under this binary, gender benders, trans workers cannot find a stable liberated place. To the male supremacists, the transwomen have betrayed their gender, and transmen desecrate the male gender. By their crossing, both render the division undesirable, indefensible and transgressible.

Hedge fund pay rises
Levels of pay in the global hedge fund industry have risen this year as performance improved and assets climbed, but it has yet to reach the peak levels of 2007, according to a new report.
According to the Glocap 2013 Hedge Fund Compensation Report, hedge fund pay has increased 15% compared to what it was in 2011. The annual report is a joint effort between executive search firm Glocap and data provider Hedge Fund Research.
Adam Zoia, chief executive at Glocap, told Financial News: "Hedge fund compensation is up but it's still not back up to the peak of 2007. Pay is highly correlated to fund performance but on the back of poor performance in 2008 and, to a lesser extent, 2011, 57% of funds have not yet crossed their high-water marks."
Total industry asset rose to $2.19 trillion by the end of September, according to the report, up from $2 trillion at the end of 2011. The average hedge fund gained 4.33% in the first 10 months of this year, said HFR. After losing 19% in 2008, the average hedge fund gained 20% in 2009 and 10.25% in 2010, before falling 5.25% last year.
Zoia said that marketing, compliance and risk management professionals were among those seeing the biggest increases to their pay: "These are three areas where there has been a consistent increase in demand for experienced talent in the past few years."
Senior investment professionals at large, strong-performing funds have enjoyed the biggest increase in pay but at the lower end of the range some managers working at smaller firms that have not performed well have seen pay decrease by 5%.
Zoia said that the increasing concentration of assets into the largest managers has exacerbated this trend: in the first three quarters of this year, firms managing $5bn or more received $43bn of inflows, while firms managing less than $5bn experienced outflows of $12bn, according to HFR.
Portfolio managers at mid-performing, mid-sized firms typically receive $1.3m., while top-performing portfolio managers and those at larger firms could receive more than double this figure, the report said.
Zoia said: "An overall cautious hiring environment has persisted with funds remaining wary of aggressive expansion and rather focusing on selective, essential hiring and very limited speculative and opportunistic expansion. We expect this pattern to continue in 2013."
The pressure on hedge funds to raise pay because of competition from investment banks and private equity is minimal, according to Zoia, as private equity compensation is roughly flat, while investment banks are continuing to raise the amount of deferred compensation meaning that the upfront amount employees receive in cash is a fraction of what it was a few years ago.
He added that almost three quarters of hedge funds now defer a portion of their top earners' compensation. This makes it more difficult for senior people to change jobs, Zoia said, as they must either leave money on the table or persuade their new employee to buy them out.

bob and norma, i think this thread is great and i do want to try my hand at Norma's new dough. I won't be able to try it for about a month though because i'm leaving this week for a remote field station in the Panamaian jungle (haha)! Hopefully it's not too hot here in Tucson when I get back, because I don't like using the oven when i've got the A/C on. I know Garvey has tried Loo's earlier HRI clone, I'd be interested to hear his comments on Norma's newer formula.
I know this doesn't win me any awards....but I'm calling BS on this whole "layers" of, and or "flakiness". ....Put up a pic and show me man.....a pic of the "original" style.....that is what we are discussing here....post it up ...
It wins you an award for being wrong.
Hey Bob, I'm not sure if you've seen these photos, but Garvey did post some really nice shots of the layers here: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6112.msg242747.html#msg242747
I wanted to ask you if you ever bake those small HRI frozen pizza like I did, or are the ones you bake the larger sizes? Like I posted I wish I could have found the frozen HRI sausage pizza, but that wasnt in the cards.
What do you or anyone else think about if I try another HRI attempt in my deck oven at market. Do you know Garvey what temperatures they used years ago in HRI deck ovens. I think I messed up different things in my last attempt and think Peter got me straightened out what to try next. I could make a HRI dough tomorrow morning and let it cold ferment until Tuesday. My deck oven runs at about 538 degrees F on the bottom deck and a little lower on the top deck.
They used to have a medium that actually cooked up the best. It's been a while since I've done the small one. If I recall correctly, it actually cooked up surprisingly well in the microwave--believe it or not!
Wow, I really have no idea. Since they have use conveyor belt ovens, I believe that changes things. I'd imagine that they cook it slower than 538, though, but that is purely a guess based on the fact that it is a "thick-thin" style.Cheers,Garvey
Norma,To bake an HRI clone pizza at market using your deck oven with its high temperature, you might put a screen or two or its equivalent (maybe an upside down pan) under your perforated disk or cutter pan to keep the pizza from baking too fast. Peter
I want to ask you another question. Do I still do a pre-bake of the crust, or do you know if HRI years ago just baked their pizzas on the deck? I had thought about using screens under the perforated disk, but really didnt know if I should proceed with a pre-bake of the crust or not.
Norma,I think I would be inclined to pre-bake the docked skin since one of the objectives is to try to replicate the flaky characteristic of an HRI pizza.Peter
Norma,You can get the flavor of how the early HRI pizzas were made when they used deck ovens from BTB's post at Reply 4 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6009.msg51572.html#msg51572 . See also his follow-up post at Reply 10.Peter
Thanks for referencing the link to Reply 4 and telling me to also read BTBs follow-up post at Reply 10. BTBs descriptions of how the early HRI pizzas were made were very good. I see BTB said no dough dockers were used then, so that alone is good information.
It is possible, however, that bubble poppers were used with deck ovens.

Samsung Electronics, one of the world's largest makers of consumer electronics, said that it had managed to sell 600 thousand of its Galaxy Tab slates in about a month after start of sales. The number cannot be compared to sales of Apple iPad, but they give a clear sign that there is a market for Google Android-based tablets.
On Sunday the company said in an interview with Korea Herald that after beginning sales of Galaxy Tab 7" tablet in late October in Italy, the company has sold over 600 thousand of its slates worldwide. In fact, in its home market of South Korea, about 30 thousand Galaxy Tab slates were sold in the first week. At present the device is available in 30 countries.
Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 is based on Google Android 2.2 operating system that is primarily designed for mobile phones and was tailored for slate device by Samsung itself. The device is powered by ARM Cortex-A8 1.0GHz processor, PowerVR SGX 540 graphics processor, features 512MB of random access memory (RAM) and either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage. The product is equipped with 7" screen with 1024*600 resolution, 3.0MP camera with flash, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 802.11a/b/g/n controller, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSUPA/HSDPA, Bluetooth 3.0, DLNA and so on. The GT-P1000 weighs 380 grams.
Even though sales of Galaxy Tab cannot be compared to sales of Apple iPad, which was sold in 7.5 million quantity, it should be noted that the device is somewhat experimental. The tablet from Samsung uses Google Android 2.2 that was not designed for slates and user experience may not be excellent. Besides, availability of tablet software for Android 2.2 is not wide. In fact, even Samsung itself expected to sell one million of slates this year. The number will likely not only be met, but it will also be exceeded as particularly in the U.S. there is going to be an uptick in sales on Black Friday.
"We believe tablet PCs will take over a bigger portion of the market next year. For this year, we are projecting to sell up to one million units," said Shin Jong-kyun, the head of Samsung's mobile division, at the IFA gadget expo in Berlin in September.

I cannot comment on the oven at Bettola (forgive my shameless plug) as I have never eaten there. I can say that they seem to be another one of the companies that are popping up with "neapolitan Pizze". Who is the Pizzaiolo? We do not know... I am sure he has mastered the high temps that an "official"napoli oven can bake.... Had my oven up to 960....hmmmm.....
I think it would be helpful to know what kind of oven and brands you are considering for your business, and the degree of seriousness with which you intend to approach the Neapolitan style. There are many wood-fired (and gas-fired) ovens that can be used to make Neapolitan style pizzas, including ovens from Earthstone, Woodstone, Renato, and Forno Bravo, but if you are intent on achieving the highest degree of authenticity, you may want to investigate ovens that are specifically designed with that objective in mind. Ultimately, your objectives and budget will dictate your final selection. But once your objective is known, I suspect that members will step forward with their recommendations and advice.
consequently i have decided to go with a wood burning oven that i have seen in operation, one that has been in operation for over two years and which the owner and pizza maker swear by

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Cigarette tax reaction
THUMBS UP: The reaction of smokers to the new, higher cigarette tax was about what we would have expected. Smokers stocked up over the weekend in anticipation of the $1.60 per pack hike in the tax on cigarettes.
Sooner or later, however, cigarette smokers are going to face the higher cost. The biggest stockpile of cigarettes is going to run out eventually.
When that happens, we hope many smokers will consider the best alternative to paying the tax, and that is to give up smoking for good. Mark Twain once said, "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times." Giving up smoking for good, however, can be devilishly hard.
There are many good programs that can help people who want to quit. Check online at www.quitplan.com for some free options, or go to the Minnesota Department of Health's site for more resources.
Hospital ratings
THUMBS UP: Good health care is an important part of anyone's quality of life. In this part of Minnesota, we are fortunate to have several good providers.
Recently, Becker's Hospital Review prpoduced a list of "100 Great Community Hospitals." Becker's based its reviews on quality of care and service to the community, and looked at hospitals with fewer than 550 beds, with minimal teaching programs, mostly in rural areas.
Two area hospitals were on the list: New Ulm Medical Center and Mayo Clinic Health System in Springfield. Both have the benefit of being aligned with two of the largest health care providers in the state. NUMC?is part of the 11-hospital Allina system, and Springfield is part of the Mayo Clinic system. Both have rated high in the iVantage Health Analytics ratings of Critical Access Hospitals in the country. Both are working at offering expanded services to their patients in the region.
Congratulations to both.
You're never too old
THUMBS UP: We have to salute the energy and spirit of a couple of our local senior citizens this week. On Tuesday, Gerald Olson of New?Ulm got on his bicycle and started riding. The 71-year-old kept going until he hit the 100-mile mark. He said he just did it to see if he could do it.
And on Friday, Edna Roegiers, 84, of New Ulm went skydiving, something she has wanted to do, her stepdaughter said, "since she was 80."
That's the way to live.
