Existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, declined 2.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.43 million in October from 4.53 million in September, and are 25.9% below the 5.98 million-unit level in October 2009 when sales were surging prior to the initial deadline for the first-time buyer tax credit.
Year-to-date there were 4.149 million existing-home sales, down 2.9% from 4.272 million at this time in 2009.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the recent sales pattern can be expected to continue.
"The housing market is experiencing an uneven recovery, and a temporary foreclosure stoppage in some states is likely to have held back a number of completed sales," he said. "Still, sales activity is clearly off the bottom and is attempting to settle into normal sustainable levels."
"Based on current and improving job market conditions, and from attractive affordability conditions, sales should steadily improve to healthier levels of above 5 million by spring of next year," Yun added.
According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to a record low 4.23% in October from 4.35% in September; the rate was 4.95% in October 2009.
The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $170,500 in October, down 0.9% from October 2009. Distressed homes accounted for 34% of sales in October, compared with 35% in September and 30% of sales in October 2009.
NAR President Ron Phipps, broker-president of Phipps Realty in Warwick, R.I., clarified that several factors are restraining a housing recovery, even with great affordability conditions.
"We'll likely see some impact from the foreclosure moratorium in the months ahead, but overly tight credit is making it difficult for some creditworthy borrowers to qualify for a mortgage, and we are continuing to deal with a notable share of appraisals coming in below a price negotiated between a buyer and seller," he said.
"A return to common sense loan underwriting standards would go a long way toward achieving responsible, sustainable homeownership," he added. "In addition, all home valuations should be made by competent professionals with local expertise and full access to market data. There remains an elevated level of appraisals that fail to provide accurate valuation, which is causing a steady level of sales to be cancelled or postponed."
A parallel NAR practitioner survey shows 10% of Realtors in October report they had a contract cancelled as a result of a low appraisal, and 13% report they had a contract delayed; 16% said a contract was negotiated to a lower sales price as a result of a low appraisal.
According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Fannie- and Freddie-backed mortgages that were recently originated show an outstanding performance, even better than during the pre-housing bubble years.
"A review of recently originated loans suggests that they have overly stringent underwriting standards, with only the highest creditworthy borrowers able to tap into historically low mortgage interest rates," Yun explained. "There could be an upside surprise to sales activity if credit availability is opened to more qualified home buyers who are willing to stay well within budget."
Total housing inventory at the end of October fell 3.4% to 3.86 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 10.5-month supply at the current sales pace, down from a 10.6-month supply in September.
First-time buyers purchased 32% of homes in October, unchanged from September, but down from 50% a year ago during the initial surge for the first-time buyer tax credit. Investors, who accounted for 19% of transactions in October, accounted for 18% in September and 14% in October 2009. The balance of sales were to repeat buyers.
All-cash sales were at 29% in October, unchanged from September, but up from 20% a year ago.
Single-family home sales declined 2.0% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.89 million in October from 3.97 million in September, and are 25.6% below the 5.23 million surge in October 2009. The median existing single-family home price was $171,100 in October, which is 0.5% below a year ago.
Existing condominium and co-op sales fell 3.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 540,000 in October from 560,000 in September, and are 27.6% below the 746,000-unit sales rush a year ago. The median existing condo price was $166,000 in October, down 4.2% from October 2009.
Regionally, existing-home sales in the West declined 1.9% to an annual level of 1.03 million in October and are 21.4% below the sales rush in October 2009. The median price in the West was $209,300, which is 4.8% below a year ago.
Existing-home sales in the Northeast declined 1.3% to an annual pace of 750,000 in October and are 27.2% below the surge in October 2009. The median price in the Northeast was $240,200, which is 1.9% higher than a year ago.
Existing-home sales in the Midwest slipped 1.1% in October to a level of 940,000 and are 32.4% below the tax credit rush one year ago. The median price in the Midwest was $139,500, down 3.6% from October 2009.
In the South, existing-home sales fell 3.4% to an annual pace of 1.71 million in October and are 24.0% below the year-ago surge. The median price in the South was $148,700, down 0.7% from October 2009.

Q: What is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
A: SSI provides monthly income to people 65 or older, blind or disabled, who also have limited income and financial resources. To be eligible, an individual also must be a U.S. citizen and resident of the United States or a noncitizen lawfully admitted for permanent residence. There are, however, some noncitizens granted a special immigration status who are eligible. To get SSI, an individual's financial resources (savings and assets) cannot be more than $2,000 ($3,000, if married). For more information, read our publications, Supplemental Security Income or Understanding Supplemental Security Income. Both are available at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs.

China Family Holiday
This exciting family holiday takes you on a grand journey through the varied landscapes of China. First to the fascinating city of Beijing where you'll visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the famous Great Wall. An overnight train to Luoyang takes you to the hallowed Shaolin Temple where you can see and have a go at Kung Fu. Explore the spectacular Longmen Caves filled with carved Buddhas. See the pandas at Chengdu, and visit Xian, the start of the Silk Route - once the richest city in the world and home of the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army. Next you'll journey to Yangshuo in the heart of rural Guanxi province. To a backdrop of beautiful sugar-loaf peaks bike through local villages and learn to rustle up a delicious Chinese meal. Finally explore vibrant Hong Kong.
Take an overnight flight to Beijing. Arrive in Beijing Arrive in Beijing and make your way to your joining hotel. This afternoon you have time to relax and meet the other members of your group before perhaps heading out to enjoy the first of many superb Chinese meals.
Dong Fang Hotel – 2 nights
Although the original terminus of the Silk Route was Xian, the infamous Kublai Khan made Peking (now Beijing) his capital and extended the route. During the Ming dynasty the city's two great monuments were built – The Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. This morning you visit the Forbidden City, which was once home to the Emperor and his family. The maze of buildings within the City became the symbolic and literal heart of the capital and the empire. Symbolism abounds here; dragon and phoenix represent emperor and empress, and construction was in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang - the balance of negative and positive forces.
This afternoon you will take to public transport and visit Tiananmen Square the largest town square in the world which is big enough to hold one million people! Then visit the Temple of Heaven - a masterpiece of Chinese architecture, set in beautiful surroundings.
This evening you will see an amazing acrobatic troupe performance - please don't try this at home! (B)
Great Wall
This morning you'll set off for the drive to China's best-known attraction, the Great Wall (approx 2 hours). Stretching over 5000km from the coast in the east, the wall was built as a defence against invasion from the horsemen of the far north, and has survived in a good condition since then. Surrounded by woodland and streams and around 90km from Beijing, the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is considered by many to be one of the best preserved parts of the wall. Renowned for its Ming Dynasty guard towers (there are 22 of them over this 2,250 meter-long stretch) and built mainly of granite, the wall is an impressive sight at over 7 meters high and more than 4 meters wide. You hike along a section of the wall, taking in the surrounding scenery and getting a feel for the sheer size of this amazing construction.
In the afternoon you'll stop at a local hotel (1 room per family provided), where you have the chance to freshen up before you transfer to the station (approx. 3 hours) and board your overnight sleeper train to Xi'an (approx. 12 hours).Train travel in China is a great way to mix with local people. On soft sleeper trains compartments are closed with two tier bunk beds, four to a cabin. Sheets, pillows and blanket are provided, luggage is stored in the cabin. There are basic bathroom facilities at the end of each carriage with a toilet and washbasin. It's a good idea to bring your own toilet roll and some wet wipes. Please keep in mind that standards of cleanliness will not be what you are used to. Safe hot drinking water is provided for making tea, coffee or instant meals. You will need to bring a mug, spoon, knife and fork to prepare your own meals. Most trains have a dining carriage and limited snacks can be purchased en route. Please be prepared that you may have to share a carriage with persons outside of the group. Why not use your free time on the train for an informal language lesson from your leader or a local and learn a few simple words to use in your travels?
Berth on overnight train - 1 night (B)
Arrive in the imperial city of Xi'an. Human activity in this area dates back 6,000 years, but it was the Zhou dynasty which established Xi'an as its capital. Then under the Tang dynasty, a magnificent city was built which was used thereafter as a model for other Chinese cities and also for the Japanese capital at Nara. As terminus of the Silk Road, Xi'an was the world's largest, richest and most cosmopolitan city and capital of a powerful kingdom. Many monuments reveal Xi'an's importance over the centuries and reflect the fact that it was the capital of an empire some twelve times in its history.Xi'an is one of the few cities in China to have preserved its city walls virtually intact. The city itself has spread beyond these walls, but the centre still retains the original grid formation, making it easy to navigate. We'll be taken by our Group Leader on a walk around the city centre, including spending some time wandering through the back streets of the Muslim quarter, which is home to one of the largest mosques in China.We'll have free time for optional activities too. You might like to visit the Big or Small Wild Goose Pagodas, built to house Buddhist scriptures brought back from India. Climb to the top of the Drum or Bell Towers, ride a bike around the city walls, or shop for souvenirs at the Night Markets.Xi'an is, of course, famous for the Terracotta Warriors, guarding the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Although this vast army was buried some 22 centuries ago, it was only discovered as recently as 1974. On day 5 we drive to the site (approx. 1 hour) which is spread over several tombs. The sheer size of the assembled terracotta army and the excellent displays really feed the imagination. There is also an interesting museum housing a collection of artefacts from the original digs.
Union Alliance Atravis Executive Hotel (AA) – 2 nights (B)
Chengdu & Leshan
Today we transfer to the airport (approx. 1 hour) and fly to Chengdu (approx. 75 min), capital of Sichuan province.Chengdu is famous throughout China for many things including spicy Sichuan food and the endless chatter of the city's tea houses. We'll have free time tonight to tempt our tastebuds and explore the interesting old town streets or Tibetan quarter.On day 7 we have a day trip to Leshan (approx. 90 mins) to see the world's biggest Buddha - Da Fo. He is over 71m tall and carved into the cliff side. An amazing sight!
Garden City Hotel – 2 nights (Bx2)
Pandas - Yangshuo
Chengdu is famous throughout China for many things – the spicy food of the Sichuan province and the endless chatter of the city's tearooms, but globally it is renowned for the panda research centre, which you will visit this morning. China's national animal, the giant panda is a rare and increasingly threatened creature. The research centre is home to both giant and red panda bears, and you can marvel at these incredible creatures in a close approximation of their habitat. It's an early start as the panda only wakes for a few hours of the day to eat and exercise, but the opportunity to get close to this remarkable being is an experience not to be missed.
Take a flight to Guilin (1 1/2 hours), from where you head into the picturesque countryside around Yangshuo (approx. 2 hours) The inspiration for many paintings and literary works, Yangshuo lies on the western bank of the Li River, which meanders languidly through a remarkable landscape of dramatic limestone sugarloaf peaks; one of the most memorable images of classical China.
Yangshou New Li River Hotel – 3 nights (B)
Located deep within karst peaks of Guangxi, Yangshuo is a haven for many visitors from the hustle and bustle of the ever-developing Chinese nation. The main peak in Yangshuo is Green Lotus Peak, standing next to the Li River. This morning you head out of Yangshuo on bikes to cycle on farm tracks, meandering through paddy fields and with spectacular limestone karst scenery on all sides. You'll pause for a cold drink beside one of the most beautiful of the Li River tributaries. Continue on to a local village nestled at the base of Moon Hill. Here you can sample local farmers' cooking before returning to Yangshuo.
In the afternoon you take a short drive to Chaolong, where you will be able to learn the art of Chinese cooking. This class will allow the whole family to learn the techniques and skills of Chinese cookery from experienced chefs, and after an afternoon trying delicious recipes, you can eat what you have made for dinner!
The following days are free to explore Yangshou. There are many activities available here including calligraphy classes and boat trips on the river or many shops and cafes to browse and relax in. You'll also have a chance for an included kung fu lesson! On your final day here hotel rooms will be available during the day.

Please note that helmets are not provided for the cycling - these can be bought in Yangshuo or please feel free to bring one from home.
Overnight train
Today is a free day for your choice of activities in Chengdu, your hotel rooms will be available to you during the day. Then in the evening you transfer to Guilin (2hrs) and board your overnight train to Shenzhen (approx 14 hours).
Overnight Sleeper Train - 1 night (B)
Hong Kong
Your train arrives at its destination this morning. Crossing the border from China into Hong Kong is a busy and time consuming thing. It takes around 2 hours on each side to clear immigration and customs, your bags will be with you during this time; patience is essential. Once cleared you board the KCR train into central Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been back under Chinese rule since 1997, it is a truely unique place where east and west meet. The vibrant and fast paced city is only minutes away from quiet islands and beaches.

Kung Fu & Caves & Terracotta Warriors
Song Shan is the spiritual home of Kung Fu. You will be amazed at the strength and agility of the Shaolin monks - who can balance on one finger – before learning some of the moves yourself. You continue your family holiday to the thousands of statues at the Longmen Caves. From Xian you'll visit the amazing Terracotta Warriors, whose serried ranks served Emperor Qin, the first emperor of China over 2000 years ago. Seeing the warriors lined up is truly awe-inspiring.

Study Supports Benefits of Community Service Learning for CSU Students
A recent study by Fresno State reveals service learning has a positive impact
on students' graduation, personal and job skill development.
October 14, 2009
The Institutional Research, Assessment and Planning (IRAP) at California State University, Fresno, recently released new data to support the positive effects service learning (SL) has on its students. The report "Does Service Learning Help Students Succeed? Assessing the Effects of Service Learning at California State University, Fresno" looked at students enrolled in service-learning classes at Fresno State during five different semesters. Among other things, the study examined the impact service learning (SL) has on persistence, graduation rates, time to degree, personal development and job related skill development. A few of the key findings include:
- Service-learning freshmen's one-year persistence rate after taking (a service-learning) class is higher than for non-service learning freshmen enrolled during that same semester.
- Freshmen who took a service learning class had higher four and five-year graduation rates than non-service learning freshmen.
- Data from the 2007 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and Fresno State's IRAP demonstrates that seniors who had taken a service learning class were more likely to report a greater contribution to the welfare of the community and better understanding of people from other racial and ethnic backgrounds.
- Data also indicates service learning freshmen reported a higher level of job related knowledge, skills attainment and more development of a personal code of values and ethics than non-service learning freshmen.
The study supports existing literature regarding the beneficial influence service learning has on college students. Specifically, the study shows that service learning does have a positive impact on Fresno State students' persistence, graduation, personal and job skill development.

Is there any software that allows to run a *.nrg file without burning previously it to a media?
I did a search on Google, not knowing what an nrg file is, and someone in 2002 posted a similar question. The reply was that Nero can do this. I pasted two links below.
.NRG is Ahead Nero's proprietary disc image file format. Even though the standard many people are familiar with is .ISO (ISO 9660), there are several other propietary formats out there as well - depending on the software, see below for a few examples.
- .BIN/.CUE (CDRWin, Alcohol 120%)
- .CCD/.IMG/.SUB (+ .CUE optional) (CloneCD, Alcohol 120%)
- .BWT (BlindWrite)
- .CDI (DiscJuggler)
- .MDS/.MDF (Alcohol 120%)
Normally these images are primarily meant to be mounted using a virtual disc tool and a very popular one is Daemon, however if you have Nero installed, you can enable an image drive from the program and also mount it that way.
If you do not want to mount it, you can use programs like MagicISO, PowerISO, UltraISO and so on to open the image and extract or manipulate the contents as you wish, hopefully you've caught my drift.
ISObuster supports nero's NRG files as well
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
icq 10183575
ok, thx.
I tried isobuster, it gives a message:
during mounting of the disc only a session/track layout could be found. No file-ssytems, no files and folders could be found. then I can create an UDF file..
If using Daemon and mounting a unit (Z:), and going to Windows Explorer, it shows a message (I trnaslate from Spanish)
windows cannot read this disc. Possibly the disc is harmed or in a non-compatible windows format.
What might I do?

Ohio lawmakers consider family planning funds bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio - An Ohio House committee is considering a measure that could send Planned Parenthood centers to the back of the line to receive public funds used for family planning services.
The Health and Aging Committee scheduled a possible vote Wednesday on the measure.
Opponents have said it would largely cut funding for Planned Parenthood. Anti-abortion groups have praised the idea.
A House finance committee stripped a similar plan from a budget bill earlier this year.

Welcome PR,
Having a noggin of the same size as yours, I'll be watching the feedback carefully.
Hi, I found this place and registered to post to get some input about what "she who must be obeyed," AKA "The Mrs.," has agreed to get me for Christmas this year … a first-quality hat.
As a point of introduction, I'm in my mid-50s and have worn hats practically all my life; in my 1-year-old photo, I'm wearing a straw hat that looks something like a homburg. I've had my share of the dreaded baseball caps over the years … don't incinerate me on my first post, but I still wear 'em, although most of my collection isn't your typical junk from today, they were made by a place called the Cooperstown Cap Co. that no longer is in business, which custom made old-school, old-team caps (for example, one of mine is 1939 Washington Senators) the old-fashioned way by hand, with glove-leather sweatbands, etc. I've got numerous wool driving caps that I wear all the time. And back in the 1980s, when "Raiders of the Lost Ark" came out, I had a gray wool felt "official" Indiana Jones fedora that I basically wore until it disintegrated.
However, I've always wanted a really, really, really good felt dress hat. And I've kind of had the itch since I surprised the Mrs. with a hat of her own last year, a derby (wool felt, but still nice quality), which she wears all the time (she had a cheapo one, really like a Halloween costume hat, that she wore when we got married 20 years ago and looked nice in it; it eventually got torn up and tossed away and I had the idea to get that one for her last year, and she appreciated it more than anything I think I've ever given her for Christmas). I'd really love to show off a good hat myself, but at the same time I'd love to go out with her with our respective chapeaus on, and I bet we'd make an impression.
First off, before seeking input, I have a very large head … right at 24 inches on the dot and 61 centimeters on the dot, from both my wife and I taking measurements. My very large head also is very round, like a basketball sitting on my neck, and my face is round as well.
I am looking for a hat in medium to dark gray or charcoal; the Mrs. says I should get something brown to go with my hazel eyes, but I'm thinking gray will be more versatile as far as the whole look, not just coordination with my eyes.
My questions:
1. Fedora vs. homburg: When I started looking at this, what I was focusing on was a C crown (4 inches or so) fedora, with a 2 3/8 to 2 5/8 brim, your prototypical old-school fedora. However, I'm wondering if the homburg, and I've seen the threads here about how they are more formal hats, would work better for me, given my large head and round face (I've seen photos of folks wearing their homburgs that lead me to believe that might be the case)? I love fedoras, but to me they look better on folks with angular faces, and that ain't me (my face wasn't quite as full in the 1980s so the one I had was OK). And I certainly wouldn't want one with a very high crown, I'm thinking 4 or a little bit more, absolute tops. Any advice?
2. Wool vs. fur: I know fur is better. Our budget is $150 for this give or take a bit, so fur is doable price-wise (I'd absolutely consider used, but the pickins appear to be slim at eBay, etc., in large sizes). The thing is, I'm finding a lot more options for my big cranium, in the styles I like, in wool than I am in fur. Would it be blasphemy to go with a good quality, well-made wool to at least get my foot in the door on this?
3. Sizing: The closest legitimate hat store to me is 120 miles away and I'm not likely to get there, this will be an online purchase sight unseen. I've looked at a jillion different hat dealer sites, and their respective size charts, and there's no consensus on what size the measurements I've cited would be, some have 7 5/8 and some have 7 3/4. Am I correct in assuming, especially since I hate too-tight hats, that I should go with the larger size? Does the sizing tape that apparently can be provided to tighten things up a bit if needed work well? And I'm aware of how wool hats shrink and that fur hats shrink as well; how does fur compare to wool as far as shrinkage rate?
4. Specific hats to look at: Anyone have any specific suggestions, given what I've said about head size, face shape, price range, etc., of particular brands and models of hats I might need to look at?
Sorry to be so long-winded, but any guidance here would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!!
Welcome PR,
Having a noggin of the same size as yours, I'll be watching the feedback carefully.
Look into Akubra hats. Great fur felts and in your price range. Lots of posts here about them to do your research.
Akubra Federatiion-IV-Deluxe-
The Fed is a good hat and in your price range and has the color you want. It would also balance with your head size.
Ed Wiser
Akubra is the way to go. I have 2 Fed IVs and a Campdraft all in size 63. When I first got the Fed IVs they required a little sizing tape on the sides but after some wear both hats shrunk just enough to conform to my head nicely. I just got the Campdraft and expect the same result. Bought all three hats from Hatsdirect.com. Great folks to deal with. I am very happy with my Akubras and plan to get some more. Not much else out there for us big heads without going custom.
Have inquired about the Federation with Hatsdirect.com, it definitely is an attractive hat.
One other question, though ... would that tall a crown (5 5/8) be a little much for me? In addition to having a huge, round head, I'm also 5-7 and stocky. For you baseball fans, think Hack Wilson, LOL! That's why my first thought was a 4 1/4 crown, sort of like the Jaxon Bogart (which I'd snap up in a minute, I have done some research and homework here, but I don't think is available anymore, at least in my size). I worry about looking like I'm wearing a top hat, which is another reason for my "fedora vs. homburg" spiel.

I can reccomend an Akubra as well. Versatile styles and the workmanship is top notch. And to comment on the round face aspect I think that round faces can wear fedoras with style as well. Don't fence yourself in to one style. Homborgs are dressier and have their place but I feel your first proper hat should be a fedora you could get more use out of.

Every year it's been the same routine, I'm running around getting everything ready to go on a summer vacation. This time I decided to put together a 'Preparing for Summer Vacation' checklist. I'm always forgetting something, my razor, an mp3 recorder, sunglasses, camera, medicines and even a spare tire (yes, a spare tire). Several years ago I took my spare tire in to have it checked prior to vacation. I forgot to go pick it up before leaving town, can you guess what happened on I-45 just outside of Houston? Four hours and several hundred dollars later we were back on the road again. So here's my list I hope it helps.
Here's a surprise to no one: people in Hawaii are feeling better than anywhere else in the country.
A shootout that ended in a car crash engulfed in flames on the Las Vegas strip closed down the main road where the incident left a cab driver, a passenger in the cab and a rapper dead, and four other people injured.
Despite what the Rolling Stones might have you believe, wild horses could definitely drag you away. Take a trip to Assateague and find out for yourself.
I don't care how this makes me sound, it's just honest: I hated every kid I ever knew who got to go to space camp. It was based on nothing more than raw, seething jealousy.
Even though my complete lack of self-control dictates that any museum trip I go on in Amsterdam be "sponsored" by legal marijuana (which would make The The Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments (MMTI) infinitely more terrifying) I'm still excited to visit.
It's been almost a decade since NBC's hit sitcom 'Friends' left the air, but fans still can't seem to get enough of both the gang and famous coffee shop set alike. Apparently 'Friends' fans are attempting to fill whatever void the show left behind -- as is NBC, apparently. But one man in Beijing might have done it...
Construction of the 250,000 square foot Mansfield Reformatory began in 1886. Though it held the world's largest free-standing steel cell block, Mansfield more closely resembles a mansion than a prison, which was very intentional; the goal was to create hope and progress in the young prisoners and encourage their "rebirth...
Remember when we used to make fun of Canadians? We'd laugh and laugh about how silly it was to live in the tundra, and how they had funny accents and rode caribou and stuff. Then they got universal health care, and we all sort of shut up. Well, they also have a Star Trek Museum in a town called Vulcan. We're looking dumber by the day.
As the famous motto goes, "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" stops dedicated postal workers. And as far as Deborah Ford is concerned, who retired from the USPS after more than four decades on the job without taking a single sick day, nothing else does either.

|The Game Story:
|Greensboro, NC - Led by a revamped defense for the 2012 seaon, the Cazenovia College men's lacrosse team won a hard fought battle over the Saints from Emmanuel College by the final score of 9-5.
The win gives the Wildcats a 1-0 start on the young season, while the Saints fall to 0-1.
Sophomore goalie Pat Boyle (Syracuse, NY) had a huge game with 18 saves for the Wildcats. Seniors Alex Ianicello (Warners, NY), Zach Gerald (North Syracuse, NY) and Brad Gibson (Hamburg, NY) anchored a stingy defense that kept the Emmanuel attack frustrated for much of the game.
Jamil Modaffari (Penn Yan, NY) netted three goals for Cazenovia, while Cory Tilton (Central Square, NY) would score two goals and hand out three assists leading the offense to victory.
Cazenovia will next face Guilford College this Wednesday.

EAST PROVIDENCE – According to Police Chief Joseph Tavares, the city managed to save Santa Claus' reputation thanks to the steadfast work of his detectives.
The woman accused of concocting a tale about the jolly old elf stealing cash from the East Providence Yacht Club bar faced a judge at Sixth District Court on Thursday. Once there, police charged Christal Johnson, 37, of 2400 Hartford Ave., Johnston with felony embezzlement and falsely reporting a crime, a misdemeanor.
Police claim Johnson robbed about $1,600 from the club's bar on Sunday night, Dec. 19. Johnson had stated to police that evening she had been preparing the room for patrons when a man dressed as Santa Claus entered the bar area and pulled from his bag a shotgun or rifle-like weapon.
The rather rotund suspect, she said, wore a white beard, a rad hat and red suit jacket with jeans. She indicated she managed to escape to an area establishment, and – upon returning – discovered the cash missing.
"Because she was a yacht club employee, she had been entrusted with the money on the premises, but converted it to her own use," Tavares said Friday. "That's why she's being charged with felony embezzlement. With these new charges, the investigation is now complete.
"We take this kind of thing very seriously," he added. "I mean, what's next? The Easter Bunny? Because of the due diligence of our investigators, Christmas was not canceled in the city of East Providence."
The judge released Johnson on personal recognizance, but is slated to return to court on March 17, ironically enough St. Patrick's Day.

Editor's note: When the candidate grids for the Ross County Recorder's race appeared in the Oct. 14 Gazette, our editing gave the mistaken impression that candidate Rob Cenci did not answer some questions. His answers are below.
Question: Which candidate for recorder can best manage the technological changes and the ever-increasing demands in the office while holding the line on the department's budget?
Answer: When I became a licensed real estate appraiser 21 years ago, appraisals were completed with a typewriter, 35 MM pictures were pasted or taped to the form, and the appraisals were delivered by hand or U.S. mail and expected to arrive in the client's hands within a week to ten days.
Now, appraisals are completed on a computer, digital photo images are used, and are delivered via email to the clients hands within 48 hours. My business, for the past 21 years, has been nothing but managing technological changes and increased demands in my office. This has been done while mostly charging the same fee per appraisal that was charged 21 years ago.
My business budget has to be held in check or my family and I do not eat or have a house to live in. These real-life reasons make me the best candidate.
Q: Which candidate for county recorder has the necessary experience for managing employees and providing effective customer service?
A: My entire working career has been based on customer service. From working as a grocery bagger in high school, to assistant bank manager, to real estate appraiser.
For every appraisal I perform, three levels of customer service have to be satisfied.
I have to provide quality customer service to the homeowner, bank, and management company for each and every appraisal. Not a day goes by that I do not provide quality customer service to my clients.
My business experience is current, daily, and has been consistent for 21 years. My daily, 21-year experience as a businessman, as well as customer of 17 county recorder offices, has prepared me to oversee our Ross County recorder office. My daily experience has also prepared me to provide the best customer service to the customers because I am one, as well.
Who else knows how to better serve and take care of the needs of the Ross County recorder customers than a 21 year customer himself?
I have been, and continue to be, on both sides of the customer service counter as a supplier as well as consumer. If I have the honor of being elected Ross County recorder, I will improve the customer service in the office by answering the customers questions over the phone when possible just like the many other county recorder offices I have dealt with.
I will not request the customer to make a trip into the office when their time and convenience can be saved by answering their questions over the phone.
If I have the honor of being elected Ross County recorder ... I will strive to make more search options available on-line as do numerous neighboring county recorder offices. These experiences and ideas make me the best candidate.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 3: What's Ahead for Rumple and Belle?
It seems that our question as to whether Storybrooke would be a setting in Season 3 of Once Upon a Time has been answered. Emilie de Ravin (Belle) spoke to TV Guide about her role in the upcoming season, and it shed some light on our favorite fairy tale town.
It sounds like we will be seeing Storybrooke in Season 3, as Emilie continues to be a series regular. What might her interaction with the town look like? Well, if you recall, Rumple left her in charge of casting a cloaking spell that will protect the town from more magic-hating outsiders like Greg or Tamara finding it. You know, hopefully.
Though Belle seemed to forgive Rumple for all of his wrongdoing when her memory was restored in the Season 2 finale, she apparently does remember everything that happened when she was Lacey, and there may be repercussions to that: "She was going along with it though, so therefore you can't blame him if you're the one saying, 'Kick that guy's a--,'" Emilie said.
Emilie also shared that when Season 3 begins, Belle will be devastated about Rumple's absence (these lovebirds can't catch a break). However, "She'll gain her strength back and she'll have to if she's going to protect an entire town." We can't wait to see Leader Belle! We expect lots of inspirational speeches based on literary works.
Are you glad Storybrooke will still be a focus in Season 3? What do you think Belle's storylines will look like? Let us know in the comments below!

1993, an adventure writer named Jon Krakauer, wrote an article for
Outside magazine about a young man that was discovered perished in
an abandoned 142 Fairbanks City Bus on the Stampede trail in Alaska.
The circumstances surrounding this event were so mysterious, it lead
to Jon Krakauer spending 3 years thoroughly researching all aspects
of the event resulting in his world famous novel 'Into The Wild' in
This was later depicted in the award winning Sean Penn movie of the same name in 2007.
Since then, there has been a cult following, if you will, on the story and its main character Christopher McCandless. Many have visited the bus, many have started websites and internet groups, many schools have 'Into the Wild' in their cirriculum and people from all over the world and from all walks of life have been touched by the story. This is continually made evident through comments on forums - years after the book and movie were released. For some, there are questions remaining on why this talented and educated young man ventured off alone and more importantly, where are all of his other pictures that he took and journal that he kept.
Chris' parents, Billie and Walt McCandless have kept out of the spotlight and have maintained their privacy through this ordeal, but at the same time have successfully managed the Christopher Johnson McCandless Memorial Foundation that was launched when the first book was released. This foundation assists underpriviliged children all around the world from donations and book earnings.
However, both realise that there is an incomprehensable interest in the story about their son and have decided that the hundreds of pictures and beautiful journal entries Chris made should be shared with the public in a book and DVD called Back To The Wild. All those participating in this new book and DVD project are volunteers. Those that have been inspired by the story, or those offering their talents to help make it a success. This is a great example of the reach that Christopher McCandless has made throughout the world.
Below is a trailer for the DVD narrated by Hal Holbrook (who played Ron Franz in the movie 'Into The Wild'.)

Elizabeth Santaguida was found by her younger sister late Thursday night inside the family's Evergreen home on Hilltop Drive. While the official results of the autopsy have yet to come out, court records suggest the 24-year old, known to her friends as Libby, was possibly strangled.
Zach Santaguida made his initial court appearance on Monday morning. Prosecutors have until Thursday to formally charge the Evergreen High School dropout; when they do, they will likely charge him with first-degree murder.
"He's being held on no bond," Jefferson County District Attorney Pam Russell immediately following the brief hearing, said. Family members of the victim and defendant were present in court but declined a request to speak to the press.
"The whole premise, the whole thing really doesn't make much sense," Justin McKay, a former patient of Rik Santaguida, the victim's (and defendant's) father, said.
"I would never have speculated that something like this would happen," he said following the court hearing he attended as well.
Dr. Santaguida ran Evergreen Family Medicine for a number of years until it abruptly went out of business last year, according to an article in the Evergreen-based Canyon Courier.
A letter attached to the front door of the office back then said, "The past year has been very difficult due to personal, financial and health concerns. Thanks to all for being such wonderful patients and friends to us at Evergreen Family Medicine."
"I hadn't seen (Dr. Santaguida) since he closed his practice," McKay said. "But he was always the nicest guy ever. I mean he was probably one of the best doctors I had ever had."
According to an arrest affidavit released on Monday, investigators say the victim in the case had marks on her neck. A younger sister to both the defendant and victim told investigators, "that she new this was a 'murder' and believed her sister was strangled because she saw "ligature marks" around her neck."
That sister was the first to call 911 on Thursday night to report that her sister "was not breathing." The victim's mother, also a doctor, tried CPR.
When investigators initially interviewed Zach Santaguida he said he considered himself "a shut in."
"He claimed that he was home the entire day," read the affidavit, "however slept for most of it, only waking up for about 30 minutes at a time."
At first he told them that "he did not hear anything unusual." At one time, when the family was being interviewed by investigators "Zachariah Santaguida sat next to her and began to cut his fingernails with fingernail clippers."
Later on, according to investigators, he told them things that prompted them to find probable cause to arrest him. That portion of the affidavit has been blacked out by prosecutors.
Investigators also say the home was "in complete disarray. There was clutter and trash throughout," according to the affidavit.
Santaguida faces life in prison if found guilty of the first-degree murder of his sister.

Resizing, Moving the Todoist Sidebar inFirefox
I'm very interested in the premium version of your product, but there's a couple of issues with the FireFox add-in that need atention:
1.) The sidebar won't resize; takes up too much width. I need to keep an eye on my tasks in a smaller sidebar without taking away too much screen space from my web browsing side.
2.) Option to move the side bar to the opposite side. I need my list on the far "right-hand" side.
All responses
Hello Russel,
The sidebar in Firefox is resizable, but it has a minimum size. If you can't resize it by its right edge at all, please disable all other plugins to see which one is causing this issue and make sure you have the latest version of Firefox installed (that is - 20.0.1).
Although it's not possible to move the sidebar to the opposite side, you can "snap it out" of its fixed position and place it wherever you want (floating). To do so, simply click on the arrow icon in the bottom-right corner (next to the "Sync" icon) and a new window with the plugin will appear which you can use of the sidebar.
Best regards,

Married With a Roommate: Good Idea or Bad Idea?Krishann Briscoe
Recently I read an article on the New York Post and it got me thinking about the whole notion of having a roommate while married. Not long before that I mentioned having my grandmother move in, wondering if I could handle trying to care for her and our daughters. You see, the proposed question was if you would live with a married couple. I mean would you? Unless it is my parents, I am going to have to say no. And, unless my husband and I are just more dysfunctional than I thought, knowing first hand the challenges that come with marriage, the ups and downs that even the happiest of couples must work to get through, I couldn't imagine having a Mr. and Mrs. as roomies. Picture walking into the kitchen right after they got finished arguing and as a result eating your cereal in silence, awkward they "went to bed mad and woke up mad" silence. Or being kept awake all night because of a colicky baby that is not yours.
But my rationale for why this isn't a good idea goes beyond the every day occurrences couples face. It's also the fact that I am not sure I would be comfortable with someone who I didn't feel I knew that well living in a home with me and my family. I sort of feel like allowing such a thing is asking for trouble. What if your roommate acts inappropriately toward your spouse? While he or she is solely responsible for their behavior it doesn't mean one can expect you to be comfortable with a flirtatious roommate.
I've heard of couples who won't hire a nanny or babysitter that they think is attractive out of concern that it could lead to marital issues down the road. While I am not sure exactly how I feel about that I am a big believer that you have to be careful of what kind of situations you place yourself in. Even people with the best of intentions screw up sometimes. And I'm not sure, but having a roommate that doesn't share any of your genetic makeup might be synonymous with playing with fire. And to be honest even when it comes to relatives you have to be careful.
According to the article a request for roommates willing to live with couples is becoming increasingly common. This is largely attributed to the high cost of rent and "low inventory" in many cities. The article also notes that there are "ads from couples who insist on no strangers' and no visitors crashing on the couch,' " or a "lesbian roommate, presumably to ward off any hanky-panky."
Despite the television show suggestion that "threes company too" I happen to think unless one of the roomies is your child "threes a crowd." Maybe I've watched too many made for television movies but as the saying goes if you play with fire you're going to get burned. Perhaps not always but who wants to be the poster child for why you don't agree to having a roommate while married. For more on this story visit the New York Post. What are your thoughts, would you allow someone to live with you and your spouse? Are the financial benefits worth the potential fallout?

Author citation (zoology)
From Palaeos.org
Author citations in zoology give the name of the original author(s) and date of publication, e.g. Megalopsalis luna Forster 1944. When a species is no longer in the same genus as originally, the citation is enclosed in brackets, e. g. Pantopsalis luna (Forster 1944). If the name has only changed in rank (such as a subspecies raised to species, or subfamily to family), the citation is not bracketed. Many zoological publications that do not deal specifically with taxonomy do not give the citation for a name, especially those dealing with vertebrates. Publications on invertebrates often give the citation of a name only when it first occurs in the publication.

02.09.2012What it all comes down to
"We need to talk," I said, wishing I'd have come up with a more original line. But what did it really matter in the end when hearts got broken and dreams got crushed?
"You don't have to move in next week, darling." She sipped from a bottle of beer, almost swallowing the top end between her over-sized lips. I'd let her finish her curry first, figuring she wouldn't be able to eat any more after I'd dropped my bombshell. "It's just something to think about."
"It's not about that." I played with my bottle, peeling off the label. I wondered what hurt the most, being dumped myself or this nerve-wracking waiting-game for the best moment, for the right words to find their way out of my mouth.
"I know," she said and her words surprised me so much that my heart started thundering beneath my ribcage. "You've been different since you saw Claire at that party. Did something happen?"
"No." I shook my head. "Not what you think anyway."
"What then?" she urged, her eyes already getting moist, anticipating the worst.
"I just don't think this is working out. Us. It's not, erm, enough, I suppose."
"Tell me the truth, Lee. Did you fuck her?"
I realised then that if I'd said yes she would have forgiven me. "No. It has nothing to do with Claire. It's me. You deserve better than me."
"That's bullshit." She remained so calm, so willing to work it out. As if she believed that if she let her emotions come through too much, everything would be instantly lost, as if clinging on to sanity and logic could save her. "Don't pin this on me. You know how I feel about you." She looked away for a split second. "Is there someone else?"
"No, it's not like that." How did you tell someone that you didn't love them enough without breaking their spirit for life?
"Then we can work it out. I know we can." Lucy the negotiator was getting the upper-hand. "I know you love me."
"I do, but just—" I hesitated for a moment, then stopped thinking and landed the final blow. "—not enough to see this through. Not like I loved Claire, or Lou. It doesn't feel right anymore." I might as well have punched her in the face.
"Oh, so you prefer being cheated on, do you? You like to be treated with no respect. Well good luck to you. Darling." She took a few shallow breaths. "Unbelievable."
"You've given me so much, but it's time to move on. It doesn't feel right anymore. I feel as if I'm leading you on."
"Give me a minute," she said and got up. "I'll be right back. Stay. Please." She took her beer and walked to the kitchen. I heard the sound of glass shattering against the floor, but I didn't get up. I un-muted the television and watched Eastenders until Lucy came back into the sitting room. She leaned against the couch, the furthest away from me as possible. "I think you should go to Hong Kong."
"I can't fire you because you don't love me enough. I want to, but it wouldn't be fair." As if I wasn't feeling bad enough about beating Lucy's big heart to a pulp. I wanted her to sack me. I needed to be punished. "But I can't have you in the office with me every day, and I can't have you living at auntie Eleanor's anymore."
"And I wouldn't have to see you with anyone else," she continued, as if sending me away, to the other side of the planet no less, would dissolve all her grief. "With Claire or Lou or anyone else you could love enough." She looked at me with eyes begging for relief. "It's your choice, Lee. Think about it."
