SYDNEY — A New Waterford couple who stole a credit card and then went on a shopping spree have been placed on probation for two years and ordered to repay nearly $7,000 to local merchants.
Kendra MacInnis, 29, of Williams Lane, and Kenneth Douglas Campbell, 31, of Thirteenth Street, pleaded guilty to fraud charges stemming from the July 2012 theft of a credit owned by a MacInnis family member.
For about a month, the pair bought a number of gift cards, cartons of cigarettes, hair extensions, smoothies, T-shirts, spent two nights in a hotel and made numerous other purchases before it all came crashing down.
It wasn't until August 2012 that the card was noticed missing and reported stolen.
During their sentencing hearing, the court was told the pair sold many of their purchases, especially the pre-paid gift cards, as a way to buy more drugs to feed their addictions.
Since being charged, the two have made strides to keep themselves clean and sober.
In addition to probation, they are also on the hook for $4,365 in restitution to the Royal Bank and other amounts to several local businesses.
Among the conditions of their probation, the two are to refrain from alcohol and all drugs not prescribed to them by a physician and they are also to refrain from entering several local businesses where they used the stolen card.
The two were also granted a conditional discharge which means if they complete their probation period with no violations or other charges, they will not have a criminal record.
Should they fail to uphold their probation conditions or are charged with another criminal offence, they risk having the discharge revoked and will record a criminal conviction.

Mr Mosey's duties will include overseeing BBC Sport's move to Manchester, due to begin in 2009.
He was head of TV news since January 2000, responsible for the One, Six and Ten O'Clock news bulletins, Newsnight and BBC News 24.
Mr Salmon quit the BBC in April to become chief executive of independent producer the Television Corporation.
'Exciting time'
A former editor of BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Mosey was the controller of Radio Five Live when it was named Sony National Radio Station of the Year in 1998.
Mr Mosey said: "I'm delighted to be moving to BBC Sport at such an exciting time, after the London Olympics decision and with the World Cup and Commonwealth Games coming up next year."
"I grew up listening to and watching BBC Sport, and I loved my time on Radio Five Live," he added.
"It's essential for the BBC that it's the place people come to for big national sports moments, and I know BBC Sport will continue to deliver that with style."
BBC director general Mark Thompson said: "Roger Mosey's experience and passion will be invaluable in leading the sport division through its imminent and long-term challenges."

San Diego Housing Market News and Analysis

August 2011 Resale Housing Data Rodeo - With Words!
Submitted by Rich Toscano on September 20, 2011 - 9:42am
Well, I didn't say the words would be interesting or anything. But there are some.
The median price per square foot took a bit of a hit last month, falling for both detached homes and condos and down about 3% overall.
This takes the Case-Shiller index proxy down to the low it saw in March:
If this estimation is correct, then we are very close to hitting a new inflation-adjusted low for post-bubble home prices in San Diego.
Same charts with calendar lines to indicate seasonality. We are definitely into what is usually the weak half of the year.
Notwithstanding the price weakness, supply and demand actually looked pretty good. Closings were up for the month and the year:
As were pendings:
And inventory dipped a bit for the month, remaining below year-ago levels:
Months of inventory dropped to about as low a level as we've seen this year.
So prices took a bit of a short-term hit (at least according to the imperfect median data), but the reasonably sound supply/demand situation argues against any serious price whackage in the immediate future.
Meanwhile, in the forums, Racer5 (a fellow IPA enthusiast, I can only assume) reminds us that the conforming loan limit for San Diego will drop from $697K to $546K at the end of this month. This will not have a big impact on the the aggregate numbers -- the median SD County single family home price was $361k last month, and Zillow notes that fewer than 10% of last year's San Diego mortgage applications would have been impacted by this change. However, this could certainly have an effect in some of the sub-markets with houses in the general $800k range. As a counterpoint, perhaps private lenders will step into the breach, and the fact that rates are so ridiculously low will ease the impact in any case. And this all assumes the limit change is allowed to happen... as you might expect, home builder and realtor lobbyist thugs are all over Congress to extend the limits. All in all it should be interesting to see how this plays out.
Looks like a double dip coming. I'm ready for it.
Kanadian with Cash living in a cold environment waiting and wondering when the right time will come to buy near Balboa Park or DT. I don't see the local underpinnings in the SD economy that could support an increase in RE prices in the short term. Can anyone predict the bottom of this market?

Sounds familiar. Wasn't the government sucking on the tax tit about that time.
Rich, Any chance you could compare this market cycle with the previous cycle and then provide reasons for any disparities? That would be interesting data. I bought based on your data summaries, and I would like to say thanks a lot! I bought just before the bottom. R/Mario

Does that mean the bottom is in? ;-)
In brief, in this cycle prices got way more overpriced, resulting in a much bigger crash to get back to fair value. (See longer term graphs here http://piggington.com/shambling_towards_... )
The primary reason for the disparity was the explosion in risky mortgage lending.
Hopefully the loan limit will happen, as it is in the upper price range that there still needs to be a significant correction. We know from anecdotal evidence larger balances have received preferential treatment in the foreclosure circus, and that persuading brokers to put in realistic offers is tough for many of these now underwater homes. And in this respect many REO's and short sales still suffer bureaucratic dislocation from reality. It only takes five minutes research to see what many homes were selling for 15, or even 10 years ago to realize the NAR and it's cronies have done a splendiferous job of convincing us again that FMV is indeed fair. How all this can still be happening when everything else around crumbles confounds even the most fertile imaginings.
I think we are still living in the shadow of the housing bubble. Many flippers tried their best this year to time the market but I believe they were too early out of the blocks. I'm not saying it's not a good time to buy, just that inflation in housing may not be in our immediate future. Some things have gone up and some have gone down, I think people are weaning themselves off those things that went up. Nobody likes to think they over paid for anything. Without jobs I think the recovery will be slow. Oh yeah and buy AMD so that I can make some dough. I predict the Chinese will start buying into our tech sector.

[Portion removed because it refers to other post that was removed.]
... That's why we are so polarized. All Peter and I and others would ask of an open minded retailer would be to offer all points of view on all subjects, not just politics. Maybe Mr. Kepler would have enjoyed just that much more success to have allowed him to do more than break even. Now, I'm sure you, or somebody who thinks like you do, will chime in here about the credibiliity and viability of anybody who dares to profess something different from your narrow mind, but that will only serve to prove my point. So please go at it. But don't lose sight of the fact that the more successful book sellers have a broader client base. Whether it is to listen to various points of view, or just use opposing ideas as fodder for their own drivel, at least they are made available. Also, giving Jane Fonda a forum for anything, without doing the same for one of your favorite targets like, say, Anne Coulter, doesn't help, either.

I stopped shopping at Keplers years ago when the staff became so sure of their intellectual superiority and looked down their noses at my purchases. And special ordering was an ordeal. Amazon was fast, cheaper and non critical. Easy choice. Revamp the attitude of the store, welcome all customers and stop being so snotty about other people's reading choices. No more charging $10 to attend a book reading. And give the readers flopped all over the floor a specific place to read instead of allowing them to be tripping hazards all over the store. Then maybe more of us will return and enjoy looking through the books.

"You epitomize the left wing attitude that no other viewpoint is worthy of publication and distribution"
Really? Keplers carried the conservative authors, just above "anon" talked of making those purchases.
I didn't say anything about no other viewpoint being worthy, I merely reflected that Peter's opinion of "far left viewpoints" are in fact the norm for the area. We are a community of smart, thoughtful, well educated neighbors with great values.
That's why we're Left.
And it drives the narrow minded folks crazy!!

Thanks GOPslayer. Your mindless, unfounded reponse further endorses my perspective of your ilk: differences of opinion have no place on what you percieve to be your turf. Pathetic. Fortunately, the liberals who I call friends, of which there are many, don't resort to name calling. They simply offer intelligent debate, and we agree to disagree. You are obviously not capable of that.

Kepler's is an institution as important to the communities that its serves as the Almanac. I've spent hours in its stacks looking for the right novel or reference or travel book. Sure, I occasionally order from Amazon especially if sending a gift, but I wouldn't want Big Brother Amazon to be my only choice of reading material. The knowledgeable staff at Kepler's has helped me find out of print books, and even recommended Amazon when they couldn't deliver. They are knowledgeable in every department and wonderful in the children's section. The authors brought to town for lectures and the local authors featured at the store are another way in which this book store has enriched our reading lives. I am sad to see Clark Kepler retire, but encouraged to hear that experienced people will help the store thrive. The staff is great, please keep as many as possible.

Sue was outstanding! in four hours we saw all the major sites in the city core of London.It was as if we were shown around London by a close friend. she was informative, friendly and passionate . It was an unforgettable evening. Highly recommended. Thanks Sue.
Sue was the best tour guide we've ever had. Actually, this is the first time that we got a personal tour guide. We usually join tours. But this is the best! The itinerary was made especially for our family. All of us enjoyed, even my teenaged kids. The look on my son's face when he found and saw what he wanted, was priceless, even Sue felt it. We had a great time with Sue in London. We got a taste of being a local! And the days after that, we did it with ease, because Sue helped us out already. We were pros, thanks to Sue.

Socceroos coach Holger Osieck has handed Tom Rogic a first international call-up but says the Central Coast young gun is far from the finished article.
Rogic was among three new faces selected in a 19-man Australian squad for next week's friendly against South Korea in Hwaseong, rewarded for his excellent form in the A-League.
Melbourne Heart's Aziz Behich and Serbia-based Eli Babalj were the other first timers named in the team.
Rogic's selection comes amid growing hype and excitement around his potential, but Osieck has warned against building him up too soon.
''I would like to make one thing perfectly clear ... I've followed his way so far - I don't want to call it career because he's still at the beginning of his playing,'' Osieck said.
''He is a good boy, he has a lot of talent and a lot of special qualities but he is far from being on a top international level.
''I would like you guys (the media) to consider that - not to put him up on a pedestal where he doesn't belong right now.
''He has all the ingredients to become a good player, to even represent Australia. That's one thing, but he's not there yet.
''I have had numerous experiences in my coaching where young, talented players were put up prematurely on a level that they later never reached.
''It can be more destructive to the development of the boy than beneficial.
''I would like you to consider that. Please don't destroy him.''
Returning to the squad is fellow Mariners young gun Mat Ryan and Germany-based former A-League star Mathew Leckie, with Osieck keen to see the latter's development.
Glory defender Michael Thwaite returns to the squad while Melbourne Victory striker Archie Thompson holds his spot in the team with Osieck declaring him the form player of the A-League.
Next Wednesday's match at Hwaseong Stadium will serve as preparation for next month's East Asian Cup qualifiers, where it's expected Osieck will rely heavily on young and Australian-based talent.
The squad to face 25th-ranked South Korea still features several European-based players, including goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer and Luke Wilkshire, while the likes of Tommy Oar and James Holland are expected to earn rare starts.
Socceroos squad: Eli Babalj, Aziz Behich, Alex Brosque, James Holland, Mathew Leckie, Ryan McGowan, Matt McKay, Lucas Neill, Tommy Oar, Tom Rogic, Nikita Rukavytsya, Mathew Ryan, Adam Sarota, Mark Schwarzer, Matthew Spiranovic, Archie Thompson, Michael Thwaite, Carl Valeri, Luke Wilkshire.

Kaylors in Morris Cemetery Bloomer, Arkansas
I just got back from Arkansas and have a few questions/comments on the Kaylors buried in the Morris Cemetery in Bloomer Arkansas. I was able to find the markers for several Kaylors and would like to connect them to the Kaylor family.
I found J.W. (John W.) Kayler, 3/30/1849-12/15/1900. He has a single marker with the inscription "Age 51 years, 7 months, 15 days" also "Husband of Eliza Galloway". Eliza's last name was also spelled Kayler. Eliza's marker was inscribed "Wife of J.W.". She also has a single stone 5/1/1845-3/21/1922. He was a brother to Jasper Kaylor. Looking for a connection to the McCracken family buried near her.
Walter W. & Allie M. Kaylor share a double stone. His dates are 3/11/1876-10/14/1973, and has the inscription "Husband of Allie M." Allie's dates are 4/20/1882-7/4/1970, and has the inscription "Wife of Walter W." Walters father was James Madison Kaylor and Martha A. Rose. James Madison was another brother of Jasper Kaylor. I had Walter recorded as William Walter in my files, but on his marker it has Walter W. Anyone know if his first name was William or
Thomas C. & Belle L. Kaylor also share a double stone.His dates are 1/6/1885-12/3/1943, with the inscription "Husband of Belle L.". Her dates are
12/8/1889-4/3/1967, with the inscription "Wife of Thomas C.". Thomas C. is another son on James Madison Kaylor & his second wife, Nancy Isabelle Crouch. The cemetery has a lot of
Crouch markers. I know how Thomas & Nancy fit in the family also. Does anyone know who Nancy's parents/siblings were?
I found a maker for N. Isabel Kaylor, 1863-1900. Thisis James Madison Kaylor's 2nd wife. She is mentioned in previous paragraph.
I found a marker for Edward Kaylor(10/12/1907 -6/7/1944), bur don't know how he fits into the Kaylor Family. Do anyone have any ideas?
I also visited the Parks Cemetery in Charleston. There are some Kaylors buried there, but haven't had time to go over those pictures yet. Will get back with questions/comments on the Kaylors buried there.
Would appreciate any comments you may have on these family members.
Have lost the address for Jim Kaylor that is in the Sheriffs Department in Los Angles. Do
anyone have his address?
Looking for the census for Kaylors 1900-1930 in Sebastian/Franklin County Arkansas?
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Drug Treatment for Adolescents
by Mathea Falco, J.D.
1. Is your program specifically designed for teens? If so, how?
Most treatment programs are designed for adults, not teens. Even if programs say they treat teens, they may in fact just be including them in adult programs that have a few activities for younger people. Adolescents have unique challenges, such as relating to their families, dealing with peer groups, getting an education, finding a job. They also are different developmentally than adults. Effective adolescent programs should address not only drug use problems but also the many aspects of a teen's life.
2. What questions do your staff members ask to determine the seriousness of the teen's substance use problem and whether the teen will benefit from this particular program?
Good programs usually ask a brief set of initial questions to explore the severity of the youth's drug use. How long has the teen been using? Is he or she addicted? What other kinds of problems does the teen have? Is he or she involved in delinquent behavior? Answers to these questions will help a program decide if they can provide the kind of help needed. Once the teen is admitted to the program, the teen's problems will be examined in much greater depth. This kind of assessment should include a physical exam to determine if there are any medical conditions related to the substance use problem; a psychiatric exam to determine if there are mental health problems, such as depression, that must also be treated; a review of the teen's educational progress, and a review of the teen's relationships with his peers. Does he have friends? Are they involved in drugs? The program may also ask in-depth questions of the family about how well family members communicate, whether there are discipline problems, whether there is a history of substance use within the family. The program will develop as complete as possible a picture of the adolescent's problems so that the counselors can design a treatment plan to address them successfully.
3. How does the program involve the family in the teen's treatment?
Family involvement in the teen's treatment is critically important. Regardless of how well or badly the teen and the family relate to each other, parents are the dominant reality in the lives of most teens. Parents are also the major source of financial support, including medical insurance, if any. Most teens live at home, and their recovery will depend on how supportive the home environment will be in helping them build new lives free of alcohol and drug use.
Recent studies of adolescents who stop using drugs report that parental involvement, new friends and motivation are keys to success. Programs should encourage parents (or other caregivers) to participate in counseling, group meetings, drug education and other activities offered by the program. Occasional telephone calls between the parents and the program counselors are not enough. Families should also be asked to examine their own alcohol and drug use and to get treatment themselves when necessary. Programs should teach the family how to be more effective parents, including how to discipline children reasonably. The more the family is involved in the treatment process, the more likely the teen will succeed in treatment.
4. How does the program provide continuing care after treatment is completed?
The period after treatment is vitally important: most adolescents relapse in the first three months after treatment. However, continuing care services can greatly increase the likelihood of sustained recovery. Developing follow-up plans while the teen is still in treatment is important in providing a structure for the teen and his family, so that treatment gains continue. These plans may include relapse prevention training, referrals to community resources and periodic check-ups by the program with the adolescent and his family. Twelve-step meetings can also be helpful for some teens in recovery, although finding 12-step meetings specifically for teens can be difficult in some communities. Unfortunately, many programs do not provide continuing care, and parents must try to support the teen's recovery as fully as possible. Parents can identify services within their community that will help the teen live without drugs, including well supervised recreational programs, counseling, and community service. Parents should stay in close touch with their children every step of the way. Parents who believe that their children can overcome their problems and be successful in school make a powerful difference even when faced with difficult circumstances. (In Treating Teens: A Guide to Adolescent Drug Treatment the help hotline numbers can provide referrals to resources in each state.)
5. What evidence do you have that your program is effective?
Very few programs have formal, scientific evaluations that measure their treatment success. However, even without such evaluations, other information can be helpful. For example, completing the entire course of treatment is closely related to success. Retention rate is an important indicator of whether a program is effective. How many teens drop out? How long do they stay in treatment? How many actually complete treatment? Other useful things to ask about are whether teens in the program show improvements in school performance (better attendance and grades) and family relationships (better communications, less aggressive behavior). How does the program monitor drug use among teens in treatment? Do they conduct drug tests? If so, how often do they test? What are the results? Good programs should have test results that show that teens in treatment are staying clean.

Usain Bolt is the world's fastest man, and he was just as quick with an unlikely excuse as to why he lost to Yohan Blake in the 100-meter final at Jamaica's Olympic trials on Friday night.
The sprinter said he lost focus seconds before the race began, blaming movement by one of his competitors for the defeat.
Here's the details from the Jamaica Observer:
Bolt said in the finals he saw Nesta Carter beside him flinch, "I lost focus and when the gun went I was not focussed," and in the semi-finals "the guy next to me moved and it threw me off; I see these guys in my peripheral vision and it is kinda hard to ignore them so when they move its gonna throw me off a little bit and I got left and when I get left it is hard."
Bolt did offer praise for Blake, saying he is a "class runner." This result should only make things more interesting on the track in London.

Or, Cadillac -- just like BlackBerry and Nokia in 2007 -- could just ignore the new technology shift and wait to hit the wall within the next three years. Of course, electrifying only the Elmiraj will not be sufficient for Cadillac's Tesla challenge. Many people I know who already have a Tesla, Chevy Volt or Nissan LEAF are asking for an electrified Cadillac Escalade SUV. The biggest hole in the luxury market right now is a 3-row, 6-7 seat, electrified SUV/minivan. You might be asking: What about all-electric vs. Volt-style range-extended electric? In brief, you need to offer both, not necessarily as variants of the same model, but rather in different cars optimized for each architecture. GM has had a huge success in record customer satisfaction for the Chevy Volt, so it's clear that this architecture could be leveraged into larger vehicles such as the Elmiraj, SUVs and minivans. It's also clear that the market for all-electric cars is growing like weeds, as evidenced by Tesla. Cadillac would do itself a favor and avoid launching 100-mile range electric cars, such as what BMW and Mercedes are doing in the coming months. An all-electric car needs to deliver at least 250-300 miles of range, in order to compete with Tesla. GM can do this: It's not a matter of technology; it's a matter of will. Going forward, Cadillac has a choice: Look backward to 1967, or pre-World War I, for inspiration, or look forward to the new technology. The self-serving automotive press will praise it for doing the former, whereas the actual customers will only buy Cadillac if it manages to build upon the Volt and ELR in order to challenge the new undisputed market leader: Tesla. Ciel concept car from two years ago. Changing the Elmiraj concept car drivetrain to an evolved and more powerful version of the Volt/ELR is a very easy proposition for GM. Customers only care about that it plugs in; the car otherwise looks the same. In many ways, the Elmiraj becomes the ELR's big brother. Harkening back to the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado, Cadillac may simply want to call it the Electric Dorado. The rest of us -- investors and consumers alike -- may simply call it the Tesla Killer.

Youngstown mayor race heating up
YOUNGSTOWN – The mayor's race is heating up in this little village of barely 2,000 people, with former Republican Mayor Norm Swann, who served from 1987 to 2001, challenging current Democratic Mayor Raleigh Reynolds.
Residents head to the polls Tuesday.
In addition, four candidates are vying for two seats on the Village Board. Incumbents Timothy Adamson, a Republican, and Beverly Van Deusen, a Democrat, face challenges from Republican Wilfred Ziegler and Democrat Stu Comerford.
Adamson and Van Deusen both seek re-election to second terms on the board, while this is the first time Ziegler and Comerford have been on the ballot. Swann, Adamson and Ziegler are also on the People's Choice line.
The mayor and trustee positions carry four-year terms.
The polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m. in Youngstown Village Hall, 240 Lockport St.
Reynolds, 67, is seeking his first full, four-year term as mayor. He was deputy mayor when Mayor Neil Riordan died in 2011. He took over as mayor and then was elected in May 2012 to fill the remaining two years of Riordan's term.
Reynolds retired in 2012 as an information technology specialist with Hewlett-Packard, assigned to Delphi Thermal Systems in Lockport. He has served with the Youngstown Volunteer Fire Company for the past 21 years.
"I love the village," the Northfield Drive resident said.
"My wife, Linda, and I have lived here 42 years. Some changes are starting to take place here, and I'd like to work to move them forward."
Reynolds said he would like to address the need for housing for senior citizens. He also pointed to the financial health of the village, referring to a report by independent auditor Patrick Brown.
"Financially, the village is sound," he said. "The village has had a conservative approach to revenues, and we've been effectively controlling our spending.
Reasonable tax increases are needed to keep the village sound and up to date, but we've kept our budget under the two percent cap, and the board hasn't taken a pay raise in the years since I joined the board in 2008."
Reynolds also pointed to strides the village has made in encouraging tourism and new businesses, with the establishment of the new Youngstown Tourism Committee and new businesses like Niagara Jet Adventures, expanded services through the Dory, a new auto repair shop, the Mug and Musket opening in place of Brennan's, Jaguar at the Bistro and Bellafaccia Skin Spa.
Swann, 64, left politics in 2001 when he declined to run for re-election. He said he stepped aside so Riordan, his longtime deputy, could take the helm.
"I've always had a lot of pride in the village," Swann said. "And now I'm throwing my hat back into the ring. Everything is beautiful here, but we need more shops, more restaurants. We need some energizing.
"I think we did great things when I was here (as mayor), but there's been a dramatic change since I left (office) in 2001," he said.
"We've become an aging community, and we can't keep raising taxes. We have to keep the services that are part of the village but control costs. We have to think out of the box and work with the schools, the Town of Porter and Town and Village of Lewiston, with the county and the state.
"We have to do positive things, but in a cost-effective way," he said. "Everybody complains about sewer and water rates. We have to look at everything – we can't be close-minded. We have to keep Youngstown vital and keep it going in a cost-effective way by working with the governments around us."
Swann retired from Delphi Thermal Systems in 2007 after nearly 40 years. He and his wife, Cheryl, live on Brampton Road.
Adamson, 57, is employed by SIHI Pumps and Engineered Systems Co. as regional manager for the Northeast U.S. and central and eastern Canada. He previously served on the village Zoning Board of Appeals for more than 10 years, during which time he spearheaded the revitalization of Veterans Park.
He also serves as vice president of St. John's Lutheran Church.
"I want to enhance our quality of life for both the young and elderly in the village," Adamson said. "We need to keep our services – like good police protection and our DPW services. We need to have intelligent planning in order to get grants, and we need to work with other local municipalities in shared services."
Van Deusen, 62, has worked in the Lewiston-Porter Middle School guidance office for 23 years and has lived with her family in the village for 31 years.
She also serves as treasurer of the Porter Democratic Committee and Residents for Responsible Government and is a member of several other organizations.
"I've always viewed this as community service," she said. "I feel that we are making a difference here. I know how hard we all work, and we really pay attention to keeping our taxes as low as possible in these tough economic times … We try to keep up the infrastructure, keep our streets safe, keep the DPW running – all of the things that make this a nice place to live."
Wilfred "Wil" Ziegler, 74, retired as a colonel in the U.S. Air Force in 1992 after 30 years of service. He earned a metallurgical engineering degree from the University of Oklahoma and in civilian life owned and operated a business related to the manufacturing and supplying of metal powders to manufacturers. He is a substitute teacher for Lewiston-Porter and Wilson schools.
Ziegler pointed to a number of ideas he and his running mates agree on, including: keeping taxes stable, creating a five-year plan and looking for ways to make the village more business-friendly.
He said he and his wife were happy to retire to Youngstown about a dozen years ago, "where we don't have the hustle and bustle of the big cities. It's a nice, friendly little community."
Comerford, 54, is serving his third term as president of the Youngstown Lions Club, a group he has been a member of for 27 years. He has been employed by the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission for 26 years.
"I have been involved with the community through the Lions and through Niagara Pioneer Soccer League with my kids, and I think I can bring some good ideas to the board," he said.
"I just want to work for the community – for the people who live here."

Critic's Corner Tuesday: 'Glee,''Ringer,' 'Justified'
•After a nearly two-month hiatus, Glee (Fox, 8 ET/PT) returns tonight with, one assumes, an answer to what happened to Quinn in that car accident cliffhanger; even a show as indifferent to continuity, character development and dramatic arcs as Glee is not going to just drop a story like that.

SAISD Receives $14 Million Grant to Expand Dropout Prevention Program
News Release
SAISD Receives $14 Million Grant to Expand Dropout Prevention Program
October 4, 2010 – The San Antonio Independent School District's Middle School Partners program has been awarded a $14 million, five-year grant to help meet the District's goal of graduating all students on time. SAISD will receive $2,842,810 for the 2010-11 school year, with additional funding coming annually. SAISD is the only District in Texas to receive the grant from the U.S. Department of Education, which awarded 29 grants under the High School Graduation Initiative Program to help improve academic performance and support dropout prevention.
SAISD will utilize the grant to expand a Middle School Partners program the District piloted last year, targeting eighth-grade students who have been retained at least one grade. Under the program, students earn eighth-grade and high school credits at the same time, to enable them to bypass their freshman year and enter high school as sophomores and graduate with their peers.
"This program empowers students to get back on track to complete high school and graduate on time," said Superintendent Robert J. Durón. "The incentive of catching up with their peers is the encouragement many of these students need to succeed in school."
The innovative program was piloted at two middle schools in January of 2010, enabling 38 students to enter high school this year with credits. The program was expanded to four middle schools this school year, and can now be expanded to all 14 middle schools under the grant. SAISD plans to enroll 400 to 450 students in the program every year for the next five years, assisting more than 2,000 students to catch up with their peers in school.
"Too many of our young people give up in middle school, but every student is worth saving," said Mayor Julian Castro. "This is an innovative approach to addressing San Antonio's dropout rate."
Students in the program work a half day on eighth-grade core subjects and the remainder of the day on high school courses on-line. The program also requires students to attend classes for several weeks during the summer to ensure that they earn credits and reach their goal.
The grant funds will be used to provide teachers, classroom computer equipment, licensing/software for on-line courses, student visits to high schools and colleges, and a mentoring program through Communities in Schools. Under the mentoring program, a mentor will be assigned to each student to work together from the eighth grade through high school graduation.
In recent years SAISD has launched a number of comprehensive initiatives to improve the number of students who continue their education through to graduation. Efforts include Campus Leaver Teams at each high school working to identify at-risk students and make weekly calls and visits, as well as the Cooper Academy, where more than 140 students have returned and graduated over the past two years.
The U.S. Department of Education's High School Graduation Initiative supports activities such as early warning systems designed to identify students at risk of dropping out, rigorous academic programs and support services to engage students and implement dropout prevention, credit recovery programs, and targeted re-engagement programs that identify out-of-school youth and encourage them to reenter school.

Words are rive that Cassie will on February 5 release her second album under the name 'Connecticut Fever'.
Although still not confirmed, it was reported that Cassie will release her sophomore set under the title 'Connecticut Fever'. The first single chosen from the album would be 'Is It You?', a song utilized as the soundtrack from her film 'Step Up 2 the Streets'.
'Is It You?' has hit the airwaves and it reportedly will appear in the album along with two leaked tracks called 'In Love With the DJ' and 'Turn the Lights Off' as well as the song that was posted in her MySpace called 'Sometimes' feat. Ryan Leslie.
Video for 'Is It You?' meanwhile, is tentatively released on December 20 via MTV's TRL while the album is rumored to be released on February 5.
'Step Up 2 the Streets' the movie will hit the theaters on February 14, 2008, starring Cassie, Robert Hoffman and Will Kemp. The soundtrack meanwhile, is filled with T-Pain's 'Church', Flo Rida's 'Low' and Lil Wayne's 'We Rock' feat. Fat Joe.
Since releasing her self-titled debut album in August 2006, her second set has been highly-awaited despite the rumor that she was dropped from Bad Boy Records. Her latest materialized work in music would be a background vocal contribution on Jay-Z's single 'Roc Boys (And the Winner Is...)'.

Sponsors see Molik as the real deal
Page Tools
Alicia Molik shows off her backhand against Maria Sharapova on Friday.
Photo: AP
Alicia Molik's manager says there is now no more bankable female sports star in Australia than Molik and he is about to start sealing deals on her behalf to prove it.
"We've got one excellent deal in place that just has to be finalised and we're working on three more," Peter Smylie said yesterday. "Alicia has gone to the next level in terms of her earning capacity from commercial endorsements and no female Australian sports star should be worth more than her now.
"In the past, sponsors have always been interested, but only up to a point. She has always had her solid sponsors and adidas has always been a big supporter of hers, but other potential sponsors have stopped short. But her great results this year and her increased profile as a result has made people much more aware of her and what she can do for them.
"Everyone knows her now, so opportunities are coming in..."
Smylie's description of Molik puts her beside or even above female stars such as 400 metres hurdler Jana Pittman, Olympic swimming champion Jodie Henry, basketballer Lauren Jackson and aerial skier Alisa Camplin.
Molik's fabulous recent winning run came to an end on Friday, when she was beaten by Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, of Russia, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3, in the quarter-finals of the Advanta Championships in Philadelphia.
Molik had won two straight tournaments on the WTA tour before that event and Smylie said the loss to Sharapova was an understandable result under the circumstances.
"I spoke to Alicia and while she was obviously disappointed to lose, she was realistic about it as well," Smylie said. "She has pushed herself pretty hard over the last few weeks and this week she has played singles and doubles and hasn't been getting back to her hotel until after 11pm.
"But she'll come back to Australia now, freshen up with a break and then get ready for the Australian Open in January."
Molik said on Friday that there was no reason she couldn't win the Australian Open. Former Australian Davis Cup star John Alexander backed Molik on that score.
"I agree Alicia's capable of winning it," he said. "She obviously believes she can win and that's a great start . . . In the past, she didn't always think she was as good as she really was, but she does now.
"She may have lost to Sharapova in this tournament, but . . . when she beat Sharapova in one of the recent tournaments that she went on to win, it made her realise, clearly, that she was good enough to win a grand slam event."
Meanwhile, Alina Jidkova of Russia upset top-seeded Mary Pierce of France 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) in the quarter-finals at the Bell Challenge in Quebec City.

Edward's Curse
Amber sat on her beanbag chair with a trusty life-time supply of popcorn at her side. She popped in Twilight to her DVD player and began the deer chasing scene as she sat and glorified the name 'Edward Cullen'. She watched as the ever so 'mysterious' beginning rolled out and began to set up where she had memorized the lines to the movie. She lipped out the words "So, I can't bring myself to regret the decision to leave home." and continued to rejoice over every line of the script (which ISN'T very good). Her two friends, Brianna and Colleen, had left an hour ago, the minute she mentioned watching Twilight. She had watched the movie 174 times and counting. This was the typical night for Amber. She drove her friends from her house whenever she said 'Twilight'. Brianna and Colleen had grown to hate it so much that they created .com! A website of their own design which was pure result of Amber's obsessions with the movie/book. So Amber continued to watch the movie in which she loved.
She was so very content in her room, with the Twilight atmosphere! Posters, action figures, t-shirts, books, and all other merchandise the Twilight series offered had crowded at her sides as she finally began to notice that the plot was starting. She again began mouthing words, and wishing she was Bella, desperately. Little did she know, but something quite unusual was upon her.
On the very roots of the wires on her TV opened a small, glowing, purple hole. The thing grew a little, more gradual as it went! Amber sat there boo-ing that Bella figured out the secret. Meanwhile the purple hole grew still. It widened and widened until engulfing the wall. Amber looked up, at last, from the screen, only to find the large vortex was sucking in papers and books from her room! It acted as a vacuum and then the desk jolted and thrust into the glowing thing! It illuminated the room in a violet radiation as the bed began shifting to the unknown mystery. Amber screamed, "WHAT THE BELLA!?" and the bed flew into the vortex too! She fell to the floor and dug her nails into the wooden boards as she started to feel the pull of the hole. Her nails scraped up wood chips as she slid closer to the vortex. Then finally she could sustain herself no longer when her the pull got to strong and she flew in. A skateboard slid into the vortex just before the thing snapped shut and the room was left empty, the only things left? The stand with the TV on top of it. It was silent… "Are you afraid?" the movie's words echoed through the room.
AUTHOR'S NOTE : Let it be known I HATE Twilight. Read the other chapters and it will all make sense….

Birds Falter Just Short of Win Against Renegades
IronBirds lose final series game against Hudson Valley, 12-9
By Catherine Winchester | September 2, 2012 3:19 PM ET
ABERDEEN, MD- The IronBirds faced the Hudson Valley Renegades in the final game of the three-game series and the final IronBirds home game of the 2012 season. Runs were put on the board early in the game on Sunday. Renegades scored first in the top of the first inning with a grand slam and in the top of the third inning with an individual run. An IronBirds home run in the bottom of the third cut the Renegades lead in half, 6-3. The Renegades added three runs in the top of the fifth inning and another individual run in the top of the sixth.

NEW YORK, April 23 (Reuters) - The dark comedy "Trust Me," playing at the Tribeca Film Festival, paints an uncomfortable picture of backstabbing and subterfuge in the film industry that drew from all - and none - of creator Clark Gregg's personal experiences.
As the film's screenwriter, lead actor and director, Gregg said he had started out writing a big ensemble movie with several story lines, one of which became "Trust Me," about the travails of agent Howard Holloway.
The film tells the story of the hapless Holloway, a failed actor, as he represents a teen-aged actress trying to launch a Hollywood career. Joining Gregg in the cast are Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman, Allison Janney and Amanda Peet.
As to the story's real-life roots, the 51-year-old Gregg, with decades of roles to his credit including agent Phil Coulson in the "Iron Man" action movie series, said he has seen "all of it and none of it."
"There was almost nothing that was literally based on anything that happened to me," he told Reuters this week. "At the same time, I felt I was kind of everybody in the movie, like in your dreams."
Speaking of "being everybody," Gregg tackled both directing and starring in "Trust Me," in spite of himself.
"I didn't want to direct myself in my script," he said. "But I had such a clear vision of what I wanted the piece to be and what I wanted the tone to be like.
"I even had a meeting with a director, and I never brought it up," he said. "I had the script in my bag, and I couldn't hand it to him."
But the chaos of being the film's screenwriter, director and lead ended up reflecting the chaos of the lead character's life, he said.
Gregg describes his movie, which is having its world premiere at New York's Tribeca Film Festival this month, as the tale of the "not incidental savagery" involved when many people are battling for a goal, such as stardom, that is attainable only to a very few.
"People will subvert everything that they grew up believing in at times to do it, so it's a kind of a metaphor about the distortive effect of our obsession with success," he said.
As to his own success, Gregg, who wrapped up his role as a regular on the television series "The New Adventures of Old Christine" three years ago, said he is working on a pilot featuring his Coulson character.
Also, he added, he is writing a period gangster movie, and heading back to "the usual attempts to get work as an actor that make me very much like all the beaten-up people in the film." (Editing by Chris Michaud and Philip Barbara)

OK, I thought I had written down last year which local orchards to me sells unpasteurized apple cider, but I can't put my hand on the list/document. I know about Cider Hill Farms in Amesbury, as I used to work in Newburyport. That doesn't work for me anymore (unless I'm visiting my Mom in Newbury), since I now work in Andover. Any in that area?
I live in the Woburn/Burlington area, so I can go up Route 3 or out Route 2 West if anyone's got some nearby recommendations.

With an estimate of 500.000 inhabitants Surinam has a lively music scene. Although Surinam is a relatively unknown country, it has a strong influence on the Netherlands where many of the Surinam people have been living since a couple of decades ago. The music from the Surinam is mainly known for its kaseko (which evolved out of the traditional Kawina music) and soul music, but the Suri- namese have also been active in other genres such as pop, funk & jazz.
Most of the Surinamese music is hard to come by, and its funk is especially rare. Because it's that rare, you can wonder how much of it has been made. The occasional funk tracks pop up on a kaseko or soul album, but full funk albums are difficult to locate. Our aim is to document these lost gems: dancefloor tracks which meet the international standard of 'good' dance music. The drive to dis- cover something new has brought us to Surinam and while diggin through these records we found a bunch of crossover tunes result- ing in this specialized boogie funk compilation.
The SURINAM! compilation features 10 rare tracks within the Suri- namese boogie funk genre. Key players from the '76-'83 era such as Solat, Sumy, Erwin Bouterse, Reingoud and Thunderstorm are all included! The compilation also features extensive liner notes containing in-depth information on all the artists of the compi- lation. This album will be volume one in the Surinam! series. The other upcoming issues will focus on the other genres of obscure Surinam music, such as Jazz and Soul.
1. Alwin Reingoud - Sweet Dream
2. Erwin Bouterse and the Group Roetoe - Disco Party
3. Erwin Bouterse and the Group Roetoe - Groovy Weekend
4. Solat - Try Try Try

6. Sumy - Funkin In Your Mind
7. Sumy - Going Insane

'American Horror Story' Season 2 Adds 'All My Children' Star
The list of inmates for "American Horror Story" season 2's creepy asylum is growing. The latest addition: "All My Children" star Mark Consuelos.
Consuelos has been confirmed by THR as the newest addition to the cast of the horror anthology. Consuelos will be playing the role of Spivey, another one of the inmates at the insane asylum that serves as the setting for the second season. He will be joining the likes of Zachary Quinto, Adam Levine and Chloe Sevigny, who are also on board to play inmates.
Other major cast members include James Cromwell as a doctor at the asylum, Joseph Fiennes as the owner, and returning star Jessica Lange as the nun who runs the facility.
The second season will wipe the narrative slate clean from the first season, as the show will take on a new story with new characters and a completely different location. Should the show be renewed for a third season (and if this one goes as well as the first, that's likely), you can bet the whole thing will be rebooted yet again.
Consuelos has another current project going: he is working with his wife Kelly Ripa for CMT's reality show "Cheer," which centers on (you guessed it) cheerleaders. I'm not sure what's scarier, that or "American Horror Story."

Oppression - Poem by Samweli Butobi
If we get what we love,
can`t we be human when we have
men have power possession
not necessary others to have the portion
why some men`s having the control of power
constitutes obstacles to others having the power
we are sujected to domination
we need and we must fight for emancipation
to overcome the false perception of reality
we need no more deceptive pure reality
we are serving the interest of the oppressor
my people, arise and make the change
my leader, loves all that do not grow
to him we are not beings but things to throw
what counts to him is not us but the power
my leader, thinks without having the power
is the loss of him having contact with the earth
he loves possessing the power
he likes to control the power
if possible, like God, forever
he has made us not to grow.
he kills the life of that do not grow
the poor people, the innocent
the young incapable but important
only the love to control the power
they agree to share the power
african democracy,
the oppressed
come one come all
together for change

Inhibitors of human DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) are of increasing interest to develop novel epi-drugs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. As the number of compounds with reported DNMT inhibition is increasing, molecular docking is shedding light to elucidate their mechanism of action and further interpret structure–activity relationships. Herein, we present a structure-based rationalization of the activity of SW155246, a distinct sulfonamide compound recently reported as an inhibitor of human DNMT1 obtained from high-throughput screening. We used flexible and induce-fit docking to develop a binding model of SW155246 with a crystallographic structure of human DNMT1. Results were in excellent agreement with experimental information providing a three-dimensional structural interpretation of 'activity cliffs', e.g., analogues of SW155246 with a high structural similarity to the sulfonamide compound, but with no activity in the enzymatic assay.

It is well-known that protein flexibility plays an important role in the protein–ligand recognition process. For DNMT inhibitors, we previously showed that IFD may have a significant impact on the predicted binding modes and docking scores [

OK... without GUI it's possible? Then I should probably study the

Hmm, how? At our current setup we have big trouble since all those
tunnels have the same start- and endpoint. But in the centre there's no
m0n0wall but a FreeBSD-Box running racoon - configurated manually.

We could definitely use it! There are 11 m0n0walls in this particular
network... if we get ipsec to work they will stay otherwise the customer
will probably make us eat them for lunch :-(

Arizona is the most pro-life state in the United States, as evidenced by their new, most-restrictive-in-the-country anti-abortion laws (20 week absolute limit with no exceptions) and abstinence-only sexual education promoting director of health, Will Humble.
Jezebel reports:
To say that the 20-week ban itself was somehow causing the increase would be disingenuous; the measure has been tied up in legal wrangling since it was signed into law by the state's governor Jan Brewer (fun fact about Jan Brewer: she doesn't have any mirrors in her house, because she doesn't have a reflection). And the state's health director, abstinence-only-education proponent Will Humble, says that the 25% jump is due to enhanced reporting techniques that the state now requires, and that his "don't do sex" method is working because the number of teen pregnancies is dropping in the state.
Most Pro-Life State Has 25% Increase In Abortions

Wednesday, October 22 | 2:00pm
This lecture is SOLD OUT. If you'd like to be put on a wait list, please call 215-247-5777 x125. Or sign up early for the next Connections lecture in November!
This illustrated lecture emphasizes the vital roles that birds play in fostering conservation of worldwide biological diversity. Importantly, birds represent our most accessible and sensitive indicators of environmental health and ecological change. Today, thanks to technology and individual citizens, we now have a genuine revolution in how we visualize and comprehend species distributions. As a result, humans have crossed an historic threshold and now, literally, serve as worldwide biosphere sensors. Do we also have the will to self-correct? Birds present us with numerous motivations to do so, and an excellent barometer for measuring our successes and failures. Birds, both the rarest and the commonest, teach us much about human nature, environmental protection, and our opportunities for saving not just species, but also the great natural systems on planet Earth.
A reception with refreshments will follow the presentation.

John W. Fitzpatrick became the Louis Agassiz Fuertes Director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in August 1995. He received his B.A. from Harvard in 1974 and his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1978. An expert on the Florida Scrub-Jay, he is co-author of at least six bird species new to science. His book, Florida Scrub Jay: Demography of a Cooperative-breeding Bird earned him a William Brewster Award, the highest research award given by the American Ornithologists' Union. He also studies systematics and biogeography of South American birds. He co-authored Neotropical Birds: Ecology and Conservation, and was a major contributor to Volume 9 of the Handbook of Birds of the World.
Today, Fitzpatrick works on the ecology, conservation biology, landscape genetics, and regional land management of endangered species, with emphasis on the cooperative-breeding Florida Scrub-Jay. He remains closely involved in an intensive, long-term demographic study (42 years and counting) of the color-marked jay population at the Archbold Biological Station. At the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Fitzpatrick is involved in developing internet-based projects for citizen engagement in monitoring bird populations around the world, and using these data to draw attention to regional and global conservation priorities.
Please be advised that the Rose Garden is closed on Thursday mornings for maintenance.

PURCHASE, NY -- PepsiCo has entered into definitive agreements to buy its two largest bottlers. The drink and snack giant has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock it does not own in The Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (Somers, NY) and PepsiAmericas Inc. (Minneapolis), valued at approximately $7.8 billion.
PepsiCo will pay PBG shareholders $36.50 a share in either cash or stock and PepsiAmericas shareholders $28.50 a share. The purchase price is higher than the $29.50 and $23.27 per share, respectively, that PepsiCo had offered in April and the bottlers rejected.
PepsiCo spun off PBG and PepsiAmericas as separate companies in 1999. By buying them back, it will consolidate 80% of its North American beverage volume. This will speed decision-making, allow the company to bring new products to market faster, streamline its manufacturing and distribution systems, and bundle its food and beverage offerings, according to officials. PepsiCo anticipates that the efficiencies achieved by integrating the beverage businesses will save the combined entity $300 million in annual costs by 2012.
"While the existing model has served the system very well, it is clear that the changing dynamics of the North American liquid refreshment beverage business demand that we create a more flexible, efficient and competitive system that can drive growth across the full range of PepsiCo beverage brands," said PepsiCo chief executive Indra Nooyi.
The acquisitions, expected to close late this year or early in 2010, are subject to regulatory approvals and approval by stockholders of both bottling companies.
