CENTER VALLEY, Pa.-- In honor of Constitution Day, which commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, Penn State Lehigh Valley elementary education majors will visit students at two local schools to present lessons about the historic document. Twenty-three students will teach 45-minute lessons in multiple classrooms at Cetronia Elementary School and Parkway Manor, both in Allentown, Pa., on Sept. 16.
Barbara Campbell, instructor of elementary social studies at Penn State Lehigh Valley, came up with the idea for this outreach activity as a way to benefit both the college and elementary students.
"Constitution Day gives our students an opportunity to get their feet wet in a real classroom before they begin their student teaching. But beyond that, I hope the subject matter helps to reinforce the importance of teaching and learning social studies for both sets of students," said Campbell. "It is in social studies class where we begin to teach participatory citizenship, but the standards and regulations of today often leave the subject behind in the curriculum."
Some of the students will prepare and execute their own grade level-appropriate lesson on their own, while others will be paired with a partner. At Cetronia Elementary school, eight students will teach in grades one to five between 9 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. At Parkway Manor, 15 students will teach in grades two to five from 2:30-3:15 p.m.
This marks the second year that Campbell's class will participate in the Constitution Day outreach activity.
"I received lots of positive feedback from the classroom teachers and our student educators. This year our local representatives are also getting involved by providing Constitution booklets for intermediate students, and the Pennsylvania Bar Association provided gavel-shaped pencils for primary students," said Campbell. "We are looking forward to partnering with these schools and interacting with their students again."

COREY NAKATANI, HEAR THE GHOST, WINNER: (Jerry Hollendorfer said he wasn't surprised by the fast pace, how about you?)
"Not at all. I felt that they were going to go fast. So I thought, 'let's get away good and make someone commit to going to the pace we need for him'. He's a tremendous horse. Jerry said, 'I'm going to find you a good one' and I've been working some horses for him in the morning, asking for some help. I want to stay home, with my family, and stay on the West Coast. I'd like to get on the Derby trail with a horse, and this is it. He's given me a chance to win (another) Santa Anita Derby with this colt, and the horse has done everything Jerry has asked him to do so far, so hopefully, he'll be on that road."
"I don't have any doubt that he will. He gets in that high cruising speed, and he just kind of cruises along, you don't have to ask him, you don't have to even move on him. He's a little seasoned horse. He's gotten better each time that I've been able to do something with him. In the mornings, Jerry has been pleased with every step he's taken, that's why I say that Jerry deserves all the credit and Dan (Ward, Hollendorfer's assistant trainer.)
{This was a big race, but how big of a race to you have to win to open the doors of C Nak's El Loco (Corey's restaurant) to everyone here at Santa Anita?}
"Everybody can come over and have a free meal tonight!"
JULIEN LEPAROUX, FLASHBACK, EVEN-MONEY FAVORITE, SECOND: "Coming to the first turn he was kind of tight in there. He just took off from there. He just wouldn't do what I wanted to do."
KEVIN KRIGGER, GOLDENCENTS, FOURTH: "Coming into the first turn, I got him to turn off, and I was surprised, as good of a rider as Julien is supposed to be, the move he made around the turn to make us have a dogfight race all the way around. Turning into the backstretch, that's like committing suicide, you know? If we're going that fast easily, it's understandable, but to pressure a race like that . . . being on a favorite, that's not a favorite's ride at all. He had the ideal scenario going into the first turn, and I mean, my horse came up tired today. There's not much else I can say."
DOUG O'NEILL, GOLDENCENTS, FOURTH: "We're disappointed, but when you're running in Derby preps, you have to have a horse that can adapt to different situations. He maybe didn't settle as well as we would have liked. We'll make some adjustments to the way that we train him and prepare him for the next one and regroup."
"I thought Martin Garcia (on Salutos Amigos) would go, but I was shocked that Flashback was so close up. I thought he'd be a little farther back. I'm sure they've got to make adjustments, and we have to make adjustments. We'll be all right."
"Yeah, I think now you have to (run in the Santa Anita Derby). If he comes out of it good and we're still thinking about the Derby, we'll have to look at a prep."
JERRY HOLLENDORFER, HEAR THE GHOST, WINNER: "I got a lot of enjoyment out of buying this horse and racing him with my partner, Ted Aroney. We'll find out (about longer distances). That's where we have to go next. I think we will (stay home for the Santa Anita Derby on April 6).
"I just told Corey (Nakatani) to watch the pace and try to be tactical and not get caught down inside, and those things that we always talk about. I have a great deal of confidence in this guy (Nakatani). He's won some very big races for me along the way, so he can ride anything of mine."
How confident was he when he saw the three horses on the lead? "I thought this horse would have a very good chance to run them down today. I thought that all day long. I thought they would put up a pretty good pace."
BOB BAFFERT, FLASHBACK, EVEN-MONEY FAVORITE, SECOND: "On the first turn, he (Julien Leparoux) said he was behind horses. I think if he had stayed inside it probably would have been better. He took him off there not to get trapped, and then all of a sudden Goldencents came and engaged him and it turned into a match race down the backside.
"I think he ran well despite all that. He had a nice, tough race and he got tired at the end, considering he went so fast, but I think we learned a lot about him today . . . I think we were just intimidated by the free speed today, and the rail, so you learn from racing. That's what these preps are all about."
\ PAUL AGUIRRE, TIZ A MINISTER, THIRD: Asked about being so far last early: "If it weren't Garrett Gomez (riding), I'd be waiting over here for the ambulance. But Garrett's got a way with those horses.
"That's a victory to me, to be in the same category as these two horses (Flashback and Goldencents). I know they're Derby horses, but I'm really proud of him."
Asked about running in the Santa Anita Derby: "I would think there's a strong chance. The owner wants to stay here, so we probably will."
NOTES: The winning owners are Ted Aroney of Rancho Santa Fe who races as Halo Farms, and Jerry Hollendorfer of Port Richmond, CA.
The San Felipe's Kentucky Derby qualifying points are as follows: 50 to first, 20 to second, 10 to third and five to fourth. Goldencents had 24 going in; Flashback, 10; and Carving, two.

Jon Gruden disects Clausen, Tebow, Bradford and McCoy
This is must-view stuff. Jon Gruden met up with Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy and put them to the test as we approach next week's draft. With Tebow, Gruden takes him to his kids high school and gives him a thorough work out whilst barking instructions. The former Buccs coach sits down with Bradford and basically hammers him for getting injured. Gruden: "You are one of the worst sliding-down quarterbacks I've ever seen." He doesn't let up on Jimmy Clausen either, demanding greater discipline from the Notre Dame quarterback. But the one I like the most is Gruden's assessment of Colt McCoy's Texas accent. He doesn't like it. He wants it to change. I'm not sure McCoy took it too well, but that in itself was probably part of the test.

Bradford is so fragile, he better play behind a great line because those aren't big hits. Mccoy and Tebow aren't starting NFL QBs ever in their careers. Mccoy has a better chance if he goes to the right system though, if a Holmgren gets him. Why isn't anyone talking about trading for Haynesworth, uncle Allen Pleeease.

Couldn't agree more about Haynesworth. The 60 pick sounds like it could be enough to get discussions rolling.
- 15 April 2010 at 08:31
- Savage said...
Haynesworth is a great All-Pro player, but only when he wants to be. I would worry that if he can't be motivated to play in DC, it isn't gonna happen in Seattle either. If he is motivated, combining him with Mebane would make for a great DT tandem that would make the rest of the D that much better. He is a risk, just like Marshall was.
I wouldn't hate the move if it was made for #60, but I wouldn't love it either. I have reservations he'd be fired up to perform in Seattle.

I don't think it's so much Bradford is fragile, the dude just does not know how to fall. You don't need a 300 pound lineman to screw over your shoulder if you're going to direct every ounce of the blow through your acromion.
- 15 April 2010 at 10:07
I thought it was interesting the first thing Tebow said was, "First, are you sure you want me on your team?" Kind of a weird question...
- 15 April 2010 at 10:09
- Rob Staton said...
I think too many of these young QB's are basically reading scripts in things like this. Tebow has an idea of how he wants to portray himself and that question is part of the deal. Colt McCoy keeps going on about preperation in every interview he does and it sounds about as convincing as a car salesman trying to flog you a tired old three wheeler.
But when there's money involved - they have to do what they think is best. Being yourself... being natural... teams might want to hear all these buzz lines instead.

I watched the Jimmy Claussen one and loved that (at least it looked like) he was taking notes on what Gruden was telling him. That gets him a little more of my respect.
- 15 April 2010 at 11:29
Yep i saw that too, i like this kid.
- 15 April 2010 at 11:36
- Bill said...
Clausen: "Charlie Weis told me I was ready"
McCoy: "I won 45 games"
Bradford: "This was my only injury in my career"
Tebow: "Hard Work!"
If I were a coach I'd tell them to turn off the repeater and be real with me. Guys like Gruden though are all ego and probably like the a$$ kissing.
I'm curious what these guys are like without the camera. I do think Clausen's bad attitude is way over-hyped. Is he really any worse that Roethlisburger or Rivers?
I like that McCoy called out Gruden for choosing to criticize his accent as opposed to looking at any positives he has and he does have some positives. The guy seems to have a little chip on his shoulder and I like that.
As much as I'm turned off by Tebow's religious agenda, it's tough not to respect the guy. He's going to need the right coach to pat him on the back a little though. I get the feeling that he's not 100% confident that he'll be a good NFL QB. It's more like he has faith that God will make him good if he works hard enough. Not sure how I feel about that.
Bradford basically just sat there while Gruden told him how great he was. I didn't get much from that one but I think that he's going to be the real deal.

I'm curious as to your response to Rob Rang's recent Mock Draft with the Hawks taking Okung and D. Morgan with #6 and #14. In that mock scenario, do you still view Okung as a "bad pick"? That is a situation that COULD play out and it seems that if Trent Williams and Bulaga are gone our next best option would be either E. Berry or Okung.
I get the BPA argument with Berry as he is definitely the more highly rated prospect. But, he plays a position that could be filled in the 2nd round. T
There is a HUGE dropoff in projected talent at OT after Bulaga, Trent Williams, and Okung. Why not snag the best remaining one and in some circles seems to be the best OT in the draft?
I'm not a proponent for either scenario...I'm just asking because I thought Rang's mock scenario was interesting.
- 15 April 2010 at 12:48
- Savage said...
The funny thing about this to me is has Gruden really ever developed a QB? The only QB's I can ever remeber him having success with are Gannon, Johnson and Garcia.
I don't necessarily think it means he can't evaluate or teach QB's, but it is worth noting.
- 15 April 2010 at 12:49
- Rob Staton said...
I have no information on how the Seahawks view Okung and whether he comes into the equation at #6 if he's still on the board. When I watched Okung, I didn't like what I saw. Kyle Rota (our resident scout) gave Okung a late first round grade. I agree completely. In my opinion, I don't think the drop off is that huge at #14 if you're talking about Anthony Davis and Charles Brown being available there. Davis I believe never indulged in a work ethic at Rutgers and the concern is - will it change with money in his pocket? Would a coach like Alex Gibbs grab hold of him and make him good? There'd have to be some give from the prospect too. However, Davis is the best pure pass protector in this draft and if you can get his work ethic right, you could be talking about major upside and potential.
Charles Brown is a perfect scheme fit and someone I like a lot. Great initial punch which none of the other first round OT's possess. Agile, nimble, decent in pass protection and a willing cut blocker. Needs to become more aggressive and find an edge, but that can happen in time. Personally, I rate both Davis and Brown ahead of Bulaga and also above Okung.
Okung to me just switches off way too much. When I watched the tape, I saw him just make some basic flat out mistakes that made me cringe. I also appreciate that whilst people like me don't like Okung in the top ten, others very much do. Which category does Seattle fall? Personally, I think if Berry is there at #6 you're looking at the next Seahawk (and I speak as someone who has been very critical of Berry's tackling). Just based on what I've been told. They will have options at #14 or even if they move down to get a tackle. If Williams is there at #6 they have a choice to make. We'll have to see if Okung is viewed as enough of an alternative to pass on Berry but I'm unconvinced.

Gruden has quite the reputation for being tough, or outright disliking, rookie QBs. This certainly doesn't dispel that. Great stuff.
Tebow is really putting the effort in and it continues to show. Its just a 7 step drop, but he made that drop like his shoes were on fire.
- 15 April 2010 at 20:25
As polarized as opinion is on Tebow in the internet world, NFL organizations are no doubt equally divided. Any team that ends up drafting Tebow will have its share of Tebow detractors as well as proponents in the draft room. His selection will probably be made in spite of strongly voiced objections by some staff who would regard it as a wasted pick. I think that's what Tebow's getting at with his question "Do you really want me on your team?" It's not enough that an egomaniacal coach or an embattled GM (who could be fired before Tebow even is ready to hit the field) or an owner desperate for ticket and jersey sales pull the trigger. You need buy-in from the whole organization, and a real plan for Tebow. I think these are issues that are far more troublesome for NFL teams than the simple merits of Tebow as an NFL QB prospect.
On Clausen, a couple red flags jumped out at me. When they talked about the interception, Clausen correctly explained how the pick was all the receiver's fault for not altering his route based on the audible. But coaches, personnel people, teammates and Gruden don't necessarily want to hear the QB point the finger without at least accepting some of the blame. Even when he's in the right, a QB can't alienate and humiliate his teammates. And he's got to show that he has the humility to to try to learn from all bad outcomes whether they were fully his responsibility or not. Second, when he talked about wanting to be a "film rat" or "gym rat" it was kind of funny how he glanced away and the words sort of croaked out. Not sure, but it seemed like he didn't believe what he was saying.
Thanks for the link to the videos, Rob.
- 16 April 2010 at 02:08
Good point on Clausen, Steve. We all remember that game losing INT Matt threw in OT in the "we want the ball and we're gonna score" game in GB. It wasn't until Holmgren spoke up that we learned that Alex Bannister ran the wrong route on the play, there was no way Matt was gonna throw his teammate under the bus. Although I can understand in this case why Clausen might have felt the need to explain himself to an evaluator that didn't know all the circumstances of the play. But if I was a coach, I'd make sure he learns this lesson early, because one slip up could take him a couple years to fix in the locker room.
- 16 April 2010 at 04:09
Clausen was with a Coach breaking down film for God's sake! Just like he's been doing ever since High School! It's not like he was standing at a podium after a game answering reporters questions. Maybe he should have been aware that this time this one may get on the tube, but before and after every game players and coaches go thru this routine. He didn't throw his team mate under the bus, he was explaining to his Coach what happened on that play.
As far as being a film and gym rat... all his Coaches at ND say he is and thats good enough for me.
Looks like the Eagles want to trade up to get Berry or Thomas, maybe they should be talking to the Hawks. They have picks #24,35,55 and 70. Lets make a deal!
- 16 April 2010 at 10:13
Redskins fan here responding to the Haynesworth talk. I can tell you that there is absolutely no way in hell the Redskins will trade Albert for what basically amounts to a third round pick unless Mr. Allen is willing to cut Mr. Snyder a 21 million dollar check. A second to third rounder is what we were looking for BEFORE we gave him his bonus, we're not going to take that.
Haynesworth won't be dealt period. He's worth far more to us than what anyone will be willing to offer him. Bruce Allen is a shrewd and frugal guy, he won't let Albert go without getting maximum value from him and so it's just not going to happen. All of the "concerns" with him are blown way out of proportion by an NFL media spitballing for a story. He's missing VOLUNTARY workouts to train on his own. The scheme transition isn't all it's made out to be because, as a rich man's Haloti Ngata, Albert will be a dominant 5 technique.
Oh BTW, Haynesworth was completely dominant last year. I don't know where this idea that he under-performed got started but it's absolutely false. He had the fourth best individual season among DTs last year according to PFF, and we basically doubled our team sack totals from the previous years. He's still the best defensive lineman in the league, in his prime. Anyone who tells you differently didn't watch him play last year or doesn't really know what they are talking about.
- 16 April 2010 at 23:40
This is a good bunch of QBs character wise. Each of them have good heads on their shoulders and seem well prepared for the NFL. Of the group, Clausen seems the youngest and least mature but he also seems serious and eager to learn/please. Tebow comes off as a coaches wet dream and basically a football playing robot. Bradford comes off as the sharpest and most intelligent. He's a born playmaker--used to being the best guy on his team in every sport his entire life. You can tell the game comes easily to him.
But McCoy's interview was my favorite, and he is definitely the most charismatic and mature one of the bunch. He seems like the kind of guy that can completely command a locker room. The guy has "it" whatever that means.
- 17 April 2010 at 00:46
I agree with Gruden. Colt McCoy's accent makes him sound like a dumb ass. I'll totally admit that if I'm honest with myself, it factors into why I think he's going to suck as a pro. You listen to him speak and nothing about him sounds like a guy you want to lead your team. Combo that with the fact that I think all people from the south sound like absolute hilljacks. :P Oh, and that out of bounds throw with 1 sec left from this season was one of the dumbest things ever and only reinforced my opinion of him.

Bradford "Yuup" "Yup" "Uhhh" He sounds absolutely bored and emotionless. The guy doesn't inspire me at all.

Clausen had a little bit of the "mhhmm" "mhmm" but I saw him writing things down and the look on his face told me that he was looking at Gruden like he was the Oracle of football.

Ohio's budget is no 'miracle'
Following the passage of the state biennial budget last month, we heard phrases like "an Ohio miracle" and "beneficial to hard-working Ohioans" uttered from those in the majority about their plan to fund the state the next two years.
Unfortunately, there is nothing miraculous about this budget's tax plan.
Proponents of the bill are quick to mention that this is the first time in over a decade that Ohio's "rainy day fund" has been at capacity, and how they were able to make a tax cut through the new budget process. What they fail to tell you however, is how they got there.
In 2011, Gov. Kasich's first budget made drastic cuts to our schools, resulting in many local levies proposed across the state to help shore up funds for education. Unfortunately, while some of those levies passed, many did not. When the state Legislature had the opportunity this year to restore funding for education, they instead opted to top off the rainy day fund and give an income tax cut that disproportionately benefits the wealthiest Ohioans.
Columbiana schools
In fact, the majority party in this General Assembly has made an already bad situation worse for our schools, by eliminating the property tax rollback on new levies. Just look at Columbiana schools, where a new levy has been proposed to fund a new roof and some refurbishments to South Side Middle School. The school district, doing its homework, has calculated that an owner of a $100,000 home would pay an additional $37.67 a year. Without the rollback, that additional tax will increase by over 14 percent.
Furthermore, Republicans have decided to eliminate the homestead exemption for many seniors who would have been eligible, raise the state sales tax and increase numerous other taxes to help pay for the aforementioned income tax cuts. That means for Columbiana residents, if this fall levy is implemented, only taxpayers making over $143,000 would be out of the red when factoring in all of the new tax changes.
Disguising this plan as a comeback for Ohio by lowering taxes for the wealthy is disingenuous, especially when it is at the expense of our schools and local communities, with middle class Ohioans picking up the tab. Going forward, we need to find ways to provide more equitable tax relief for all hard-working Ohioans, while simultaneously allowing for investment in the futures of our children. It is through education that Ohio can first start to move towards a lasting recovery.
Taxpayers' burden
While there is a need for the levy in Columbiana as well as many more across the state, we must get serious about supporting education and take the burden off local taxpayers. Rep. Nick Barborak and I have proposed, at the very least, delaying the elimination of the rollback to not include levies already proposed for this year's ballots. It is my hope that this change will help to convince Columbiana residents and other residents across Ohio with levies on their ballots this year, to help support public education.
We do not need a "miracle" to fix Ohio, but rather reasonable and rational solutions through budget proposals that will help our economy grow. The time to do so is now, and I look forward in working together to make the investments that will benefit our children, communities and the future of all Ohioans.
Democratic Sen. Joe Schiavoni represents Ohio's 33rd Senate District, which consists of Mahoning and Columbiana counties.

According to GreyZones explanation to german tv versions of animes, i can confirm that the 'just 4 kiddies' thought is really the main problem. It are drawings, no real pictures, it is showing on tv channels for kids or maybe, as a try, late night during week, so it doesn't get a chance to be accepted or even tried by persons who think they're too old for it.
A good opposite are students: since i was on some universities, i experienced that many students, widely more open for new things, are interested in anime.

The annual anime convention in my city isn't huge (compared to the Seattle or Los Angeles / San Diego conventions, but it is pretty well attended. There's also several japanese holiday festivals that usually draws j-stuff fans in (though sometimes the local faction of emo-drama horrible cosplay social dysfunctionals show up).
Seriously, this little subgroup is embarrassing - they put maybe two seconds thought into their outfits and look like they've rolled out of bed. Then they proceed to create drama with each other - last year a vendor had a fit at them and said to take their damned soap opera away from his stand or he'd call the police. General applause....

The anime situation in Iowa is like this. It holds an ok anime fanbase and AnimeIowa has a pretty large attendance last time I checked. That said, said fanbase are usually very distant from others in places where they can only talk about anime with their friends who also like anime and the general populace who only know about Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach.

I don't know the local fandom here in the Philippines right now since I stopped following it years ago but I'm pretty sure it's still stuck with mainstream and old stuff(the big three, old anime like Geass etc.) I guess majority of the people here are more of a tv watcher.

Ano ba yan? I mean, many of the viewers here in the Philippines watched anime in TV and cable... Hmmm.. with the censorship... the amount of animes being watched is kinda limited... to the point that its being played over and over again.... thank God to the internet... R+15 are reachable....

Well the basis for my assumption is the situation at PEX which is probably the most popular Filipino forums. Of course I know it's not really a forum dedicated to the anime fandom but yeah... I mean look at the anime boards there and it's still the old stuff and the mainstream stuff that gets discussed. You try to talk about the newer stuff and only 1-2 people post... I just stopped following it really and just migrated here lol.

Also, HERO TV can't offer better anime for an "a-hole" like me. One more thing, when I thought that the same channel skipped both season 2 and 3 of Zero no Tsukaima in order to give way to the final series, I was wrong there. But still, why some anime with Filipino dubbers got a different "feel" for me? IDK, maybe I was really a total "a-hole" original-content lover. Lastly (there are rumors), is it true that GMA 7 returned Fairy Tail on the list of their shows? Just asking.

^ Eh, you have to be more understanding of the limitations of Filipino dubs.
Take note that these people are pros, lending their voices not only on anime series, but on commercials, radio dramas and live action series.
Actually, they are very much better than the dubs gotten by other countries (see that comparison dub of Vegeta's "over 9000" line in Youtube).

Eh, it's a little bit of a tough call. Anime has a presence - there's a couple shelves in the local comic book shop and bookstores, plus the local colleges have clubs, but honestly it's kind of rare that I've seen an actual anime fan "in the wild."
The most recent one I can think of is when I was in Hot Topic one day and this guy complimented something I was wearing while I was looking through their anime shirts; apparently his girlfriend introduced him to a bunch of series and while he didn't know the names, by just describing them I was able to name them right off the bat. That was a few months ago.
Once in a while I'll see someone with a shirt or something but it's not that common for me. When we had a Borders in the area I used to be able to strike up conversations with random manga loving folks all the time. The Barnes and Noble we have leftover doesn't have nearly as a nice selection and I hardly see anyone. The Best Buy section seems to get smaller and smaller every time I stop in. I guess it's just become easier to pick up things online.
Anyway, it's mostly with the younger generation. A good amount of my friends are acquainted with it, only a few still watch it on occasion, and I'm the only one I know who watches it regularly. I don't know anyone that much older than me who is into it or even recognizes it. It's still a niche kind of thing, y'know?
As a Marylander, though, we get Otakon, so I get to mingle with folks there. Too bad it's only once a year. I still should go to Katsucon and Anime USA one of these times - they're closer to DC but they're still close... I'm a local and I still haven't been... and I've been going to Otakon for almost ten years now!

Farm Loan Manager, Jon Northrup, announced that family farmers with qualifying production and physical losses caused by severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding from April 17, 2013 through April 30, 2013 may be eligible for an emergency loan. Applications for assistance should be completed at the Tama County Office located at 102 Hwy 30 West, Toledo, IA.
"This Presidential Major Disaster Designation for Tama and Benton counties has been issued as a contiguous disaster county, thus making producers eligible for emergency loans", said Jon Northrup.
The Farm Service Agency may make Emergency Loans to eligible family farmers which will enable them to return to their normal operations if they sustained qualifying losses resulting from natural disasters. Physical loss loans may be made to eligible farmers to enable them to repair or replace damaged or destroyed physical property essential to the success of the farming operation. Examples of property commonly affected include; essential farm buildings, fixtures to real estate, equipment, livestock, perennial crops, fruit and nut bearing trees and harvested or stored crops. For production loss loans, the disaster yield must be at least 30 percent below the normal production yield of the crop, on a crop or crops that make up a basic part of the total farming operation.
Applicants must be unable to obtain credit from other usual sources to qualify for the Farm Service Agency Farm Loan Program assistance. The interest rate for the emergency loans is 2.250%. Each applicant applying for credit will be given equal consideration without regard to race, creed, color, marital status or national origin.
The repayment schedule for most disaster loans are based on the useful life of the security, the applicant's repayment ability, and the type of loss. If the loan is secured only on crops, it must be repaid when the next crop year's income is received. Loans to replace fixtures to the real estate may be scheduled for repayment up to 40 years.
The final date for making applications is January 31, 2014.
For more information on these and other FSA programs, please contact us at 641-484-2701 phone number or visit FSA on-line at www.fsa.usda.gov.

Press Release
For Immediate Release: February 28, 2013
State of New York | Executive Chamber
Andrew M. Cuomo | Governor
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that five of New York's largest banks and mortgage servicers will have representatives available to offer one-on-one help to homeowners seeking the release of Superstorm Sandy insurance settlement funds at the Department of Financial Services' Disaster Assistance Centers from Monday, March 4 through Saturday, March 9.
The program is designed to help homeowners complete steps needed to have their banks endorse their insurance settlement checks, which are often written jointly to homeowners and their banks or servicers. Bank representatives will also be able to help people who are struggling to make their mortgage payments.
The five banks and mortgage servicers participating are JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, CitiMortgage, and Ocwen Loan Servicing. In addition, representatives from Assurant will be on hand on behalf of dozens of smaller banks and mortgage servicers.
Governor Cuomo said: "Homeowners will be able to meet face-to-face with the bank or mortgage servicer holding their mortgage, so they won't have to mail documents and checks back and forth. These banks are joining in our outreach effort, and it should help in making the process move faster."
Benjamin M. Lawsky, Superintendent of Financial Services, said: "This program will give homeowners personal access to their banks' representatives so they can get help with paperwork, have eligible settlement checks released, and discuss how to get help if they are struggling with mortgage payments. This should make the process quicker and more efficient. The Department appreciates the cooperation of the participating banks."
Insurers typically issue checks jointly to a homeowner and the homeowner's mortgage bank or servicer after the settlement of a large insurance claim. That means the bank needs to endorse the check before the homeowner may access the funds. Dual endorsement is a standard requirement of mortgage notes and insurance contracts to protect the lender's interest. Banks may also require proof that repairs have been made before endorsing checks.
Earlier this month, the Department of Financial Services found that banks were holding more than $200 million in insurance funds from Storm Sandy victims; the Department urged the banks to use maximum discretion and effort to speed the release of funds and asked Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to announce emergency reforms to their rules to provide banks and mortgage servicers with even more discretion to release funds.
In response to the Cuomo Administration's request, Fannie and Freddie stated that for borrowers who were current on their payments before the storm and have less than 80% damage to their homes, banks and mortgage servicers have complete and unlimited discretion to disburse insurance proceeds and should apply the same practices to their Fannie- and Freddie-backed loans as they do to loans that such banks and servicers own themselves, subject only to quality assurance programs.
Following this new Fannie and Freddie guidance and further discussions with the Cuomo administration, many banks are now releasing much more money to borrowers. Indeed, these five participating banks and servicers alone will be immediately releasing an estimated $70-80 million to current borrowers as a result of these rule changes.
The Department's Disaster Assistance Centers will be conducted at these locations from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday:
- Recreation Center and Ice Arena, 700 Magnolia Blvd., Long Beach.
- Cedar Creek Park, Merrick Rd. East, Seaford.
- Copiague Memorial Library, 50 Deauville Blvd., Copiague.
- Averne by the Sea, 68-20 Rockaway Beach Blvd., Averne.
- Former Kia, 1976 Hylan Blvd., Staten Island.
In addition, representatives from these five bank representatives along with OneWest bank (on a limited basis) will be available on the Department's Mobile Command Center, which will be visiting the following locations:
Monday, March 4 – 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. , at 131 Irwin St, Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn.
Tuesday, March 5 – 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Lawrence Village Hall, 196 Central Ave., Lawrence in Nassau County.
Wednesday, March 6 – 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Burns Park, 4990 Merrick Rd, East Massapequa, in Nassau County.
Thursday, March 7 – 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 2660 Hylan Blvd., Staten Island.
Friday, March 8 – 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 112-15 Beach Channel Dr., Belle Harbor, Rockaways.
Saturday, March 9 – 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Holy Family Church, 9719 Flatlands Ave, Canarsie, Brooklyn.
Customers of banks or mortgage servicers other than the institutions participating in the program are also encouraged to visit the Disaster Assistance Centers to get help in answering their questions. Homeowners with general insurance-related questions are also encouraged to attend.
Homeowners unable to go to a Disaster Assistance Center may contact the Department by calling (800) 339-1759, which is staffed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Insurance information is also available on the Department's website, www.dfs.ny.gov

Story highlights
- Comments made by Abercrombie & Fitch's CEO offended some consumers
- "Militant Baker" blogger Jes Baker spoofed the retailer's ads by making her own
- The blogger says plus-sized women like her get short shrift from retailers
- Baker says women and men can be "attractive and fat," so retailers should take notice
Jes Baker is cutting retailer Abercrombie & Fitch down to size.
Baker, who blogs under the name "The Militant Baker" and wears a size 22, changed the brand's A&F logo to "Attractive & Fat" in a mock, black-and-white Abercrombie ad to challenge the line's branding efforts.
The photos come as a provocative response to contentious comments Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries made in a 2006 Salon article about the multibillion-dollar brand's target audience.
"In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," Jeffries said. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
The divisive remarks resurfaced earlier this month after a series of protests went viral, from Greg Karber's video of himself giving homeless people Abercrombie clothing to a Change.org petition for larger sizes by a teenage eating disorder survivor.
The plus-size community particularly took umbrage to the CEO's business model because the retailer currently does not offer clothes above size 10 or large for women.
"I challenge the separation of attractive and fat, and I assert that they are compatible regardless of what you believe," Baker, 26, wrote in a public letter addressed to the CEO.
Jeffries has since apologized in a statement: "While I believe this 7-year-old, resurrected quote has been taken out of context, I sincerely regret that my choice of words was interpreted in a manner that has caused offense."
Baker spoke to CNN about Jeffries' comments and her motivations to address them. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.
CNN: You start your letter with a preface that Jeffries' opinion "isn't shocking; millions share the same sentiment." The comments are from 2006 -- what motivated you to act on them?
Jes Baker: It really wasn't upset or outrage at all. I've been an art major for the majority of my academic life, and so I am always trying to find opportunities to do something artistic.
I just thought we don't see the juxtaposition of typical and atypical bodies in advertising specifically. Since I am a woman and I am fat and that's what I have to work with, I wanted to show that contrast by finding a male model.
Really, it just came because I wanted to not be angry about it. I wanted to not say, "This is an outrage, I've never heard of this before," but say, "OK, well, look at this. Look at how awesome this is."
And, I think when you're talking about really serious subjects, and this is kind of serious, it's important to be a little bit cheeky and pull in a little bit of humor so that it's approachable -- and it worked.
CNN: In your letter, you credit Jeffries with creating "an incredible opportunity for social change." What did you mean by that?
Baker: In the body-positive world, which is still a subculture, fashion for fat people -- what they call "fatshion" -- is a really big political statement. So is the concept of, for example, a fat person walking around wearing cut-off shorts and not apologizing for their body being so observable.
Being positive and having confidence is a huge deal. Through a very, very large company that deals with fashion and also deals with unrealistic body images, it's a perfect opportunity. You're bringing in fashion, you're bringing in body consciousness in general, you're bringing in kids who shop at the mall -- it's all these wonderful things combined in one opportunity.
CNN: Have you always been comfortable in your own body?
Baker: No, no, no. I think of all of us, to some certain extent, feel the same things. I was crippled from shame my entire life. Only in this last year have I been so dedicated to this journey of learning how to survive bad days and find wanted days. If anyone tells you they have 100% good days, they're probably lying.
I have 26 years to undo and rewire and I'm still working on it, but it's definitely a very conscious decision. And writing has really helped, as well.
CNN: The response has obviously been huge.
Baker: It's wonderful. I'm sure there are negatives, but for every negative, there are 20 positives.
The most powerful part is saying there is a reality that you can exist in where you're OK, and it doesn't make you gullible or delusional, it makes you strong.
For a lot of people, it's just a light bulb. I know I had one where I said "What? I don't have to live in self-loathing for the rest of my life?"
People are entertaining the idea that maybe there is a piece of self-worth for them out there somewhere. And once it starts, it grows.
CNN: Let's talk about the actual photo shoot. Were you nervous?
Baker: I had never met the model until that day. I credit the majority of this to the photographer, Liora, because she really made it come to life.
He was the most genuine, down-to-earth person. It was so much fun.
In the beginning, I was nervous, but mostly because I had never modeled with other people. I have done solo fashion modeling, but never with another person and never in a sexual manner -- so it was a really interesting experiment.
CNN: Have you heard from Jeffries or Abercrombie & Fitch?
Baker: No, I didn't write this letter technically for them. I like to not invest a lot of my time in people who are dedicated to misunderstanding me. What I wanted to do is reach women who look and feel like me. We never see this pairing; we never see a fat woman in a positive light. I want to empower the individual woman.
When Mike Jeffries is gone, there's going to be another company. It's not about the extra-large shirts at Abercrombie; it's about teaching the world that everybody is equal in value.

DEBATE has reignited over launching facilities and the need for a major upgrade at Warrnambool's Lady Bay boat ramp after a car slipped into the sea.
A Holden Commodore towing a trailer loaded with a large boat lost traction and was dragged backwards into the water on Friday.
It had to be towed out with seawater pouring from its doors and windows.
Some people used the mishap to slam the council for inaction on improving launching facilities, but mayor Michael Neoh said the criticism was unfair and needed to be taken in context.
"I understand this incident was not due to swell on the boat ramp," he said.
"There would have been hundreds of boats launched there this summer and if the ramp was so dangerous why haven't there been more incidents like this?
"It may be frustrating for the fishing fraternity, but to say the council is not supportive of proposals to improve facilities is total rubbish.
"Potentially the upgrade proposals represent an $8 million project and it won't happen overnight.
"There is a process in place. We are in the middle of a budgeting period and council will be reviewing its plan for the next four years."
Warrnambool Offshore and Light Game Fishing Club spokesman Lucas Wilson said two-wheel-drive vehicles shouldn't be precluded from being able to launch at south-west Victoria's primary coastal destination, simply due to inadequate facilities.
Two days before the incident he wrote to all city councillors urging them to make the harbour upgrade a priority. He said the city was missing out on a huge fishing tourism market which would be more reliable than the whale viewing season.
"The overwhelming majority of these several millions of dollars annually is spent in destinations where these anglers can launch their vessels safely without risk of damage and where the facilities are of a high standard," Mr Wilson said.
Last year a consultant's study which put forward options costing an estimated $6 million for boat launching and mooring facilities was put out for community comment and received more than 300 responses.
The council decided to seek more expert opinion on environmental implications and look at government funding options rather than rush the issue.

Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is recruiting campground hosts for Hidden Lake Campground from mid-May to Labor Day this summer. Hidden Lake Campground is the Refuge's most popular campground located on beautiful Hidden Lake and tucked away off Skilak Lake Road.
To give you an excellent idea of how rewarding the host experience is, here are excerpts from a first- hand account by former hosts Jim and Mary Cramer:
We thought we would write our thoughts about working for the Refuge and our host experience. Hidden Lake is a great place -- truly a 'Hidden Gem' -- mostly because all the people are so helpful and interesting. Add to that the wildlife and it makes for a great summer!
We have never volunteered anywhere that took Campground Host training and safety so seriously. The training included bears as well as the Refuge itself and almost anything else we had questions about. The materials they issued to us included books on the flowers, birds, trees, mushrooms -- well, you get the idea! The support ran the gambit right down to a phone book for Soldotna! Don't get us started on the people; they are the absolute best we have worked for.
The host's campsite at Hidden Lake is a great one -- deep and wide with three picnic tables in the middle loop. Our loop seemed to get lots of kids because there was a circle at the end so parents allowed kids to ride up and down the hill. It was great to watch them learn to negotiate the speed bump! The site is protected from wind, but did usually have a slight breeze. We were totally worried about bugs so we invested needlessly in a screen tent. There were some bugs, but not very many.
Hook-ups -- or rather lack thereof -- we used the vault toilet, our outside shower, and tossed dishwater, so we only dumped two times over the summer at the campground dump station. Water is important -- the clearest water in the campground is the pump at the boat launch. We had solar energy, but also LED lights, which really cut down on our battery drainage. Wait ... maybe that is because it was not dark until August!
Skilak Lake Road from the Sterling Highway to Hidden Lake is gravel, but once you hit the campground it is paved. That was great because it reduced the dust factor!
People who camped at Hidden Lake were mostly families from the local area (Soldotna, Sterling and Anchorage). In July and August there was also a fairly large contingent of Western Europeans in rented RVs. We got to know some of the regulars -- they did thoughtful things like bring us the newspaper, etc. As with anywhere, there were some over-exuberant campers, but they were few and far between and although sometimes a bit loud, but they were always happy.
One of the major differences we noticed was that when it was light until midnight (or later) the campground was also alive and well. Three-year old kids were riding bikes, adults were playing cards, and music abounded. Bottom line is that we had a great time - the campground is a spectacular location and the people only added to it. You can tell how much we liked it by our incessant raving about the place.
Hosts are highly valued members of our Refuge family. Their efforts to care for campgrounds and help visitors are tremendously important. Their rewards include appreciation, new friendships, spending the summer in a spectacular setting, and being of service. If you are interested or know of someone who would like to host, contact Park Ranger Leah Eskelin at 260-2811 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Candace Ward has worked as a Park Ranger at Kenai National Wildlife Refuge for 28 years. She leads the Refuge's Information/Education Program and enjoys assisting the hosts each summer, getting to know them, and building deep friendships with them over the years.

- Ferrari
Massa not surprised by Raikkonen's struggle
Felipe Massa says it is no surprise to see Fernando Alonso getting the better of Kimi Raikkonen this year at Ferrari.
Massa has been team-mate to both Ferrari drivers and was replaced by Raikkonen over the winter before heading to Williams. Alonso has had the upper hand so far this year at Ferrari, scoring 61 points to Raikkonen's 17, and Massa says that is exactly what he would have predicted.
"The difference between Fernando and Kimi, for me, is not a surprise - I expected it," he said. "Fernando has built the team around him, but also the way he is driving, he is a very strong driver and he managed to put everything on his side as well."
Massa said Raikkonen's only hope is to be at the top of his game all of the time.
"I think to be better than him you have to be 100% and perfect with the car, and Kimi is maybe not 100% ready and perfect with the car. Fernando has also the team for him, so it's not easy."
However, after running third in Monaco until he was hit by Max Chilton, Raikkonen says Ferrari is working hard on getting better results.
"Obviously we need to improve in many areas and we have done a lot of things in many areas to improve already," he said. "We know what we have to do, but those things will not be easy and it just takes time.
We are going forward all the time, but other teams are doing the same also. We know where the weaknesses are, but if solving those was easy everybody would have fast cars. We need to keep working and I'm sure we can get the results we are supposed to get.
"With the feelings we have now, once we get a good feeling on things I'm sure it will be better and we will get the results. We have to keep fighting and be a bit more lucky in the future."

Ethiopia is one of the few countries that has taken aid and put it to work.
Meles Zenawi came from the People's Liberation Front, from the north. Deeply involved in Ethiopia, he experienced hardships in his country, such as famine, which allowed him to relate to his people. He saw an ineffective government structure that could do more to help, and he vowed to overturn the feudal system as it existed.
And that he did. GDP has since grown by 10.6% each year (WorldBank). Exports have taken off, as well as the industries of agriculture and manufacturing.
A leader has his impact in many areas. Meles also took it beyond economics to aid. He made it clear to the outside world what the terms of aid in could be; he made it clear to the inside authorities how it would be used.
From both of these approaches, Ethiopians affected by severe poverty have dropped by nearly one half. Keep in mind that that poverty is 60 cents per day, so even attaining $2 per day can significantly change a life. Every penny counts.
A beautiful example of success…and yet we have to continue to safeguard it, never take it for granted. Progress is for today, and must be cherished again tomorrow to keep it. We still have much to learn from developing nations and their political systems. Government-wise, Meles continued to hold onto power and a successful democratic transition was not assured. People who wished to have a voice were silenced. Rather than multiple groups leading, the ruling party controls nearly 100% of seats in Parliament.
My hope is that as leaders grow– and we are all leaders, and all growing — that we are able to serve in more holistic ways. If we serve well in one capacity, we can transfer that principle of good governance and judgment to another area. It's something I am working on now. Whatever we cherish as good, let's continue to protect it, maintain it — and expand it — to all the areas of life we touch.
Meles Zenawi Asres (1955 – 2012) was the Prime Minister of Ethiopia from 1995 until his death in 2012. From 1985, he was the chairman of the Tigrayan Peoples' Liberation Front (TPLF), and the head of the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). He was President of Ethiopia from 1991 to 1995 and became the Prime Minister of Ethiopia in 1995 following the general elections that year. While his government was credited with reforms such as those that led to a multi-party political system in Ethiopia, introduction of private press in Ethiopia and decreased child mortality rates, his government was also accused of political repression and various human rights abuses, curbing freedom of the press and dissent. Meles was a Co-Chairperson of the Global Coalition for Africa (GCA.)The Global Coalition for Africa brings together senior African policy makers and their partners to deepen dialogue and build consensus on Africa's priority development issues.

Pre-Easter lifesaver: But baby's rescue brings sad d�©j� vu
Michael Hunt nearly didn't go to the Food Lion with his wife that Sunday afternoon. He reluctantly agreed to go, and then said he'd wait in the car. And those two choices are why three-year-old Victoria Snow is alive today.
In the same Scottsville parking lot on March 21, Jarred Snow waited in the car with Victoria, who had been ill, while his girlfriend ran in to the store to pick up something for dinner.
"I put Gatorade in a cup, and she drank it really fast," Snow, 22, recounts. He looked in the rearview mirror and saw Victoria was throwing up and then went into a seizure.
"I got her out of the car and she was shaking in my arms and went limp," says Snow. "I was yelling, 'Please somebody help me.'"
"This man started hollering, 'Help, help,'" says Michael Hunt, 56, who had volunteered as an emergency medical technician for the Scottsville Rescue Squad for 10 years.
He noticed the toddler going limp. "Her lips turned blue and her arms were ice cold," he says. "I couldn't get a pulse."
Hunt put Victoria on the hood of the Snows' Mercury station wagon and started doing compressions. His wife, Virginia, who had also been a rescue squad volunteer, came out of the store and helped clean out Victoria's mouth. Hunt estimates within five to six minutes, he heard gurgling.
"That's a good sign if there's a blockage," he says. "I thought she'd choked originally."
It wasn't the first time he'd tried to resuscitate a young child. On December 24, 2008, his own grandson, two-month-old Jaden Morris, stopped breathing. That time, the CPR could not save the infant.
'When I got to him, he was limp and not breathing," remembers Hunt. "He was too far gone. I think me being there in the parking lot and the quick response is what saved that little girl."
But even when the ambulance arrived, Jarred Snow didn't know for sure his child was okay.
"They put her in the ambulance and wouldn't let me in," he says. "As far as I knew, she wasn't breathing. It was horrible."
Pegasus flew Victoria from Scottsville to UVA Medical Center, and two days later, she was fine.
She'd had a high fever that caused a seizure, which caused her to stop breathing, explains her grandmother, Rhonda Snow. "Her father had the same thing when he was little," says Snow.
The Snows live in Buckingham County, and Rhonda wants them all to learn CPR. "It's so far away if something like this happens again," she says.
And she's grateful that Michael Hunt was there that day. "If he wasn't," she says, "my grand baby wouldn't be here. He's a hero."
"It eats my heart to see a little kid hurting," says Hunt. "It still kind of bothers me some because of what happened to my grandson."
He pauses. "It brought up a lot of memories."
Correction April 5: Jarred Snow's name was misspelled in the original version.

Peace & happiness to you Mr. Hunt.
Someone give this man a medal
I think this story is pretty much a medal in itself, Tim! I wish Mr. Hunt had been around when my 2 year old daughter swallowed a penny and almost died in 1994. Where my daughter got her hands on this penny we still don't know to this day.
(Yes, I got the penny dislodged enough for her to resume breathing. But she was rushed into the Operating Room for emergency surgery to remove it.)
What a great Easter story. Michael Hunt is a hero. We need more like him.
Awesome! I had no idea and I know most of the folks in the story. Mike IS a hero and thank God he knew what to do.
Mr. Hunt should be very proud. I too did CPR on my own child, (rather than a grandchild) and could not save him. This is something that Mr. Hunt will recall for the rest of his life. The challenge for us both is that sometimes, even when everything is done correctly, your patient does not survive. We must both still have faith enough to do CPR in the future when its indicated, and deal with our own emotional fallout, as we recall the one time for us when it did not work.
God bless Mr. Hunt and his family. Happy Easter Everyone.
God bless Michael Hunt!
There are heroes everywhere around us when we take the time to look. Michael Hunt deserves a hug for all of us moms who worry about our kids everyday.
i agree "Tim Brown" he does deserve a medal.

Smart Stuff 4 Work
Chris Crouch
Many business professionals think of networking as mainly attending events and exchanging business cards. Then you go back to your office and connect on LinkedIn or some similar networking service and wait for the magic to happen. And it rarely does.
Keep doing that if you feel it is a productive use of your time, but also consider building a solid network of mutually beneficial networking partnerships. Here is an example illustrating what I mean by mutually beneficial partnerships.
Years ago we decided to replace some carpeted flooring with hardwood flooring in a few rooms in our home. We, of course, called a hardwood-flooring specialist to get a cost estimate for the work. He told us all about how he would do it and what it would cost and then told us we would also need a good baseboard carpenter and painter to complete the job. We then said, "That sounds fine, who do you recommend?" He basically told us that he didn't know anyone and that we would have to take care of that on our own. We were a bit surprised that he did not have any recommendations whatsoever.
In this case, it seems that skilled baseboard carpenters and painters would make excellent mutually beneficial partners for the flooring specialist. They could easily help each other develop business since there is a natural and logical correlation between the services they provide.
After this experience, I looked at networking events differently. When someone came up to me at an event and handed me his or her business card I thought two things: Is this person potentially a mutually beneficial partner for me and, am I willing and able to help them?
In order to answer these questions, I must ask questions and find out if there are any natural and logical correlations between the services I provide and the services they provide. And, I need to find out if I am comfortable recommending them. In other words, are they good at what they do? Finding answers to these questions is a highly productive thing to do at networking events.
As you might imagine, developing mutually beneficial networking partnerships requires more time and effort. However, if you take the time to develop such partnerships, the payoff will be significantly higher.
Once you decide to develop a mutually beneficial networking partnership with another professional, then what do you do? Here's my first recommendation – take a chance, go first and get them a new prospect or client, with no return expectations or strings attached. People are much more likely to put forth a sincere effort to help you if you help them first. The concept of reciprocal altruism dictates that the other party will likely want to return any significant favor. Basically, it is a great idea to adopt the attitude that the only people you really need to get even with in life are those who have helped you.
Who would make a great mutually beneficial networking partner for you?

TROY - Front Street and Riverfront Park were flooded this morning bringing back memories of the 1996 flood - and the Hudson River water wasn't expected to crest until 8 p.m.
Officials shut down the Congress Street Bridge in fear of the Rusty Anchor barge, which is docked on the Watervliet side of the river, breaking loose and doing damage to the piers. At about 11:35 a.m. a tug boat secured the Rusty Anchor and the bridge was re-opened.
The Green Island Bridge remains closed in both directions.
"Throughout the day we are expecting more flooding," said Mayor Harry Tutunjian. "Lansingburgh is getting hit quite hard, the area around the Price Chopper is under water as well as First Avenue north of 112th Street. A lot of homes have been evacuated there.
"We just have to keep an eye on everything and hopefully we'll get some cooperation from our residence and with some patience we'll get through it."
While last night the city was calling for mandatory evacuations in areas of South Troy and Lansingburgh, Tutunjian said updated water level projections made the city change it to voluntary in nature. There are shelters set up at the Lansingburgh and Troy high schools and the Italian Community Center on Fifth Avenue.
"I think we're in for some trouble. I've never seen anything like this in South Troy or up here so we'll have to wait and see. The tide still has to come up at 2 p.m." said Joe Sibinich, who lives between First and Second streets in South Troy. "In 1996 we had the flood and the Quayside was under so it's about equivalent right now to the 1996 flood and its still getting higher."
He said the January, 1996 flood was different because there wasn't any boats or docks in the water. Last night, some 13 boats broke free from the Lansingburgh Boat Club, many of which were destroyed. at about 11 a.m., a dock with five 20-foot boats tied to it, broke loose and floated downstream with the rapidly flowing water.
"They said the Mohawk is still rising and if the Mohawk is still rising that means the Hudson is still rising and we always have the tide," said June Mayhew, pointing to a half submerged bench she was sitting on earlier in the day and the water was still about five feet away.
Russ Reeves, the city engineer, said at about 11:20 a.m. that the city is expecting another two foot or more of water and the city was worried about the structural integrity of the parking garage on River Street.
"In 1996 we had a 100-year storm but this one might be between a 100-year and a 500-year event," he said. "I would say at this point the water will be four-feet above the sea wall."

Parenting tween girls
I am having some issues.
I have a 10.5 year old girl. She is a rollercoaster of emotions. She has not started periods yet, thank God, and at her yearly checkup a few months ago her pediatrician said she didn't think it would be this year as there are things that "aren't happening yet." But she is a mess emotionally. She can be perfectly sweet and even-tempered and ten minutes later either screaming at someone or bawling her eyes out.
This morning, she was fine. DH got up early and took her running (we try to exercise her every day because she gets so anxious, this seems to help). Then we had breakfast - she was fine. Then we were about to leave for her piano lesson and she went in the bathroom and was sobbing LOUDLY. I asked what was wrong and she said that she needed to go to the bathroom but couldn't go. This went on for awhile, so I had to cancel the piano lesson because we would be too late. That set her off crying even more.
She goes pee a lot, but not like with pain or urgency. It's just anxiety that if she doesn't go now, she'll have to go later and may not be able to find one right away (every time we are about to leave the house she goes). It's all nervousness. She has a great life - her parents are happily married, we take very good care of her, she has a few very close friends, all her physical needs are met, she's in various activities - yet she is riddled with anxiety and worry. Her dad is much better than I am about being patient and calm about it (I have a lot of anxiety so I think it upsets me to see I've passed on those genes), and stays up with her almost an hour every night just talking about things that worry or upset her.
Ugh. Any great books on parenting tween girls? Or suggestions? She's always been a nervous child, I think with the hormones starting now, it's just making it a lot worse.
I don't know of any books but I can sympathize with having a tween girl. I would work on the bathroom thing. Once something starts affecting life it is past the point of general anxiety. Sounds like she needs some real coping mechanisms. I say this as someone who has an anxiety disorder that gets so bad that I develop actual phobias from the anxiety. 8( I wish my mom had stepped up when I was younger.
hahaha sounds like my second dd!! i dont know of any books, what we did we just kept the communication open, always talking to her, answering her questions, praying with her, always there for her, talking her through stuff, trying not to get upset with her(triggers it worse!), being patient, just being calm when shes not. thats what we did and she made it all the way through those years, now shes a happy married pregnant women! yes she still gets nervious and stuff, but she knows how to handle it more and she calls me to talk. the man she married is very calm and patient guy, the lord knew what she needed!
I have my own tween DD 10y/o that is having her own issues & it is driving everyone in our house batty!
Mine dose the bathroom trips 3-4 times an hour at night. She is highly emotional & takes everything we say or do personally. She also is not sleeping well at night, she wakes up more times a night now then she ever did as a baby. We are all sleep deprived because when she gets up it is so loud it wakes everyone in the house atleast once a night.
I guess what I am saying is I am in a similar boat as you & all I can do is sympathies because I am still stumbling around trying to figure my DD out!
Autymsmommy has the best advice for parenting tween girls, but it's not always easy to follow. Hopefully she'll chime in to help all of us out ;)
My dd is the same age and has had periods for about 6 months now. I think most of your dd's issues have nothing to do with puberty and more to do with anxiety. I would take her back to the doctor. She and her family (you) should not have to deal with this. Poor girl, I really feel for her. This is not anyone's fault, but she needs some help.
I would talk with her about her hormones. Justify how she is FEELING, but talk to her about how we might be FEELING out of control, but our feelings are tricky and sometimes they are wrong. Talk her through how she's feeling.
"Ok, honey, you are concerned about not being able to pee. What are you afraid of? You might have to pee and not find a bathroom? Ok, well there are bathrooms here and here where we are going, and there are ones here and here in between. Go get your shoes and jacket on and try again in a minute. Remember your feelings are real, but not always right... calm down. We can always take an extra pair of pants if they help you feel better having them, but don't let your worry and feelings stop you from such and such..."
I don't know if drawing it out like that is helpful, but maybe coach her this way a few times. In the bible it uses the phrase "take every thought captive." I'm not trying to push religion on you, but when my tween is panicy, we discuss this... we picture her taking her thoughts and feelings that are plaguing her and putting them in a box so she can control them instead of them controlling her.
Sometimes, though, I just tell her.. "hey, we don't have much time to deal with all this right now, are you in control of your thoughts or are they controlling you?"
oh, and my almost 12 yr old got REALLY bad around 9 1/2. She started her period shortly after turning 11 this year. So about 18-24 months before starting things got "moody."
Hang on this to shall pass. My DD went through the same thing without so much anxiety. She started her period at 11. I would maybe take her to a therapist to help her talk through her issues or maybe family therapy to help you and her talk through them. HAng on. enjoy the ride it will get better..........in a few years.
I have a slightly different opinion. Yes tween girls are emotional basket cases. But this sounds like something very different.
It sounds like she is manifesting bipolar behaviours that are being exaggerated by changing hormone levels.
It's just going to get worse until you get the bipolar under control.
Then you'll get a normal amount of teenage angst!

OT Syracuse @ Arkansas
both teams' offenses played like they had a 30 point lead with 5 minutes left
Got to get a three point shooting contest set up for Mr. Southerland from Syracuse and our own Nik Stauskas. Southerland a major reason for why Syracuse maintains a lead (8-11 from three point land).
Young has taken 14 of Arkansas' 29 shots so far. Really?
Whatever happens tonight, I want us to beat the hell out of Arkansas when we play them. Those jackasses were shooting around 90% in the first half against us last year. They couldn't miss from anywhere.
that game will be an ass whoopin', M will go 13-0 before the B1G starts
Cuse not impressive
This Southerland guy can stroke it. He ain't no Stauskas but damn I'm impressed.
Bad call on both ends.
Thought that may have been a foul on the Ark player and thought the foul was on the floor.
young scares me. i think morgan can bang with him inside but he could spell trouble for us.
I watched the whole game. Arkansas is fast and great on transition. They don't have much of a 3-point shot and they had a rough time against Syracuse's zone defense. The post players have pretty good moves - I saw a couple spin moves and good lateral movement. Rebounding is ok, but not great. Young was really good tonight, but it looks like he got winded. They had a lot of trouble defending Southerland and I think they will have similar problems against Stauskas.
Syracuse looked pretty good tonight, but they couldn't pull away. Too many turnovers and silly fouls on Syracuse's part.

ForumsQuestionsI want to print my tasks like a normal person
I want to print my tasks like a normal person
So I got all moved over to Toodledo this morning and so far so good. Its got all the features I was looking for--especially the whole email-a-task feature which only you do right. But...
Then I go to print a list of tasks. I delegate a lot of my tasks to people who don't have/need accounts or phones or tablets--just a piece of paper telling them what to do that day. Its the simplest solution. But the task list is tiny. REALLY TINY. Like 4 or 5 point tiny. Really? "Ok, there must be a way to solve this", I figure.
So I start digging around, here and on the web. I get a few solutions that not only don't work, but are actually insane:
1. Use the browser functions to change the print size. So this means I have to dig three layers deep in chrome to change the font size--which also changes the screen font size--print my list and then change it back so I'm not staring at huge letters on my screen. But this doesn't change the column widths, which are fixed, so you can't read half the task anymore. Dumb.
2. Export your tasks to a csv file and use Excel to print them. (this one actually came from a Toodledo employee). Ok, fine. Since its going to be ugly anyway (until now, that was Toodledo's only failure) I'll try it. But you can't export just a subset of your tasks, you have to do all of them. Which means I have to start over each time filtering out what I don't need and then formatting the page. And I have to do this every day? @#$% that!
I just don't understand how this is not something that TD hasn't budged on for 5 years! Why can you go to the trouble of making a foldable booklet but you can't print out a task list that anyone over the age of 25 can read?
I apologize for the ranting. I appreciate this software and think you guys are at least the functional best. But paper isn't going away anytime soon, and some of your users NEED TO PRINT THEIR TASK LISTS.
Here's what a printed list should look like:
1. Font size that at least matches the screen font size, not 1/3 the size. Adjustable preferably.
2. Auto-adjusting column widths. Because our paper isn't the same width as our screen and you're just wasting it. Also, I shouldn't have to see ellipses when there's 2 inches of white space in the next column.
3. Option to hide columns. Not essential, but since I have your attention, it would be nice.
Thank you.
Toodledo Admin
Thanks for the feedback. Since Toodledo is designed to replace the paper to-do list, we haven't put a lot of effort into making beautiful prints. We realized that some people need to do this, so we plan to improve this in the future.
Thanks. Sorry again for the rant. I wrote that after trying to solve the problem on my own for about 3 hours, so I was a little frustrated.
Ben, You might need to apologize for your rant, but what you say is right on. This is a ridiculous problem. Their response to you that they are geared towards a paperless user only add fuel to my fire. - Kenny
I agree. At 66 wearing trifocals when I go to edit a task I can't see. I love Toodledo but an now learning One Note so I can at least see what I'm typing!
At the very worst, they should turn off the print capability if it is not working and only turn it on when it is. I can't imagine anyone finding 4 point font easy to read, so I can't imagine this feature is being used. If they haven't got time to make`it work now (which is understandable), they should at least not confuse the customers (as they apparently have) by offering it up as a working feature.
Try printing from the mobile site using your browser print function. (Ctrl+P) It's not perfect, but you may be pleasantly surprised.
I had an issue with this and solved it with brute force. I print my tasks (in my case with the notes for each task displayed) then I take the printed copy and photocopy at 150%. It comes out very legibly and at a normal print size. Due to restrictions where I work toodledo collaboration isn't an option.
When I was preparing a records review I did this again, (150% enlarge)turning the paper to landscape and had a very accessible and manageable worksheet.
I usually work online, but many of my co-workers need to know what items I'm looking for, so lists get printed fairly frequently. I may yet have to buy a sub, but so far I've been making it work without.
I solved it by changing the "scale" in the print dialog.
Is this still a problem?? I did printouts recently in landscape and the font size seemed good. I thought that they had fixed the font size, but now I wonder.
Posted: Jun 30, 2014
I print to A4 size in PDF, open the PDF in Nitro Reader, change the paper size to A3, and scale to 'Expand to fill printable area'.
