Ford River firefighters say thank you to the community
This week's bouquets go to:
From the Ford River Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department:
"We would like to thank the community for their support during our recent pancake breakfast and bake sale. The support we continue to receive from our community made our pancake breakfast and bake sale fund-raiser a huge success. The money we raise with our various fundraising events goes toward purchasing new modern equipment and replacing old or defective equipment which in turn makes our job a lot safer and allows our firefighters to do their jobs more efficiently. Thank you!"
From Big Bay de Noc School:
An assembly was held recently at Big Bay de Noc School for grades 3-9. This assembly was to honor the students that made progress on their MEAP test scores for the 2012-13 school year. Every student who made progress was given a prize thanks to donations from local businesses including Pizza Hut and Hardee's of Manistique. The grand prize winner was Kaitlyn Halvorson, grade 8. She took home a Kindle Fire.
From Right to Life of Delta County:
"Thanks to Bay de Noc College for the use of its facilities to hold the 24th annual Right to Life of Michigan High School Oratory contest. Special thanks to everyone involved and all the students for their very effective speeches.
From the Gladstone School Basketball Program:
"The Gladstone Basketball Program would like to thank all the businesses in Escanaba and Gladstone who donated and contributed items for our first 5-5 tournament. We would also like to thank all the volunteers who helped with the concession stands, door entrances, officials, set-up and clean-up crew, and people who brought in baked goods. With our community's help, Gladstone School's girls and boys basketball tournament was a huge success and the money raised will be used for Gladstone basketball programs. A special thank you to the entire Castor family for their countless hours and dedication in making this tournament a huge success."

Steve DeHond: After a close call, a man finds meaning in his work and his family
It was shortly before 6 p.m. on Aug. 16, 1986. Sitting in the driver's seat of his Chevy Cavalier, with his three young boys buckled into the backseat, Steve DeHond was headed to the movie store to return tapes and then to get ice cream. They'd gone only about a half-mile from their home in Mayfield – a little town outside of Gloversville – when a young man who'd been racing another vehicle came up behind Steve's car and hit it, sending it across the road where it collided head-on with a pick-up truck.
Steve's sons were all injured. His youngest, Andrew, 2 at the time, was in a child's car seat, which came loose and slammed into the dashboard. He suffered severe injuries, including a shattered knee and an arm broken in a couple of places. Steve's other sons, Matt and Colin, were knocked out but didn't have other serious injuries.
Steve wasn't as lucky. He broke several toes and his left patella, fractured both femurs, broke his left hip, shattered his left arm, lacerated his liver, punctured his bowel, had his frontal abdominal muscles removed and bruised his lungs.
He first went to Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville, where they stabilized him. They couldn't medicate him for the pain because he had to be stable and unsedated when he was transferred to Albany Medical Center to assess his injuries.
"So the trip to Albany Med was really hard," Steve said.
Doctors had to reconstruct his abdominal muscles using plastic Mylar sheets where the muscles used to be. The only part of his body that worked was his right arm, which only needed a couple of stitches.
The utterly amazing part is that Steve survived. A nurse who was in a car ahead of him saw the accident in her rearview mirror, went back and immediately started to tend to Steve. She helped save his life, as did the ambulance crew that arrived at the scene. This nurse and the crew went to visit Steve in the hospital because they'd never seen anyone survive that level of accident.
Steve was in the hospital for 3-and-a-half months. He had to learn to do almost everything over again. Walk. Talk. Think.
"It was almost starting from ground zero," Steve said.
Albany Medical Center invited his wife at the time to go to the hospital to say farewell. Twice. It was that close.
Steve developed a great appreciation for the doctors who put him together and the nurses and physical therapists – all experts at what they do. Steve said he feels fortunate that he didn't have any head injuries or cardiac damage. And he's thankful he's alive.
However, one event, no matter how significant, does not cease life's progression. Steve went back to work after six months. At the time, he worked for Wilton Developmental Center, a state agency serving people with developmental disabilities.
He had graduated from Utica College of Syracuse University in 1976 with a major in psychology, thinking he wanted to go into family therapy. He completed a master's degree in guidance and counseling from Syracuse University's School of Education in 1981. But after moving to Saranac Lake in 1987 to take a job at Sunmount Developmental Disabilities Services Office in Tupper Lake, he gradually came to recognize how much he enjoyed working with people with intellectual disabilities.
He found that he was having a meaningful impact on their lives and realized that this was what he really wanted to do. From that point on, he stayed with it, and it turned into a great career.
Steve retired from the state on Aug. 31, 2013. Looking back over his career, Steve has many fond memories. One of his favorite times was when he ran a five-person community residence in Utica. It was at the time when the developmentally disabled were just coming out of institutions and hadn't been out in the community for a major portion of their lives. Steve enjoyed taking them places-to a museum, for an ice cream, to the movies – and saw how they grew and the fun they had. Over the course of his career as an administrator, Steve managed programs always with the focus on trying to provide the best they could for the people attending those programs. Steve spent 25 years working at Sunmount-three years as its director-and doesn't know what other career he'd want to choose.
With retirement, Steve can spend more time with his sons. Matt, 34, lives in Queens and is a supervisor for Olive Garden in Times Square. He has a degree in music theater from SUNY Oswego, and in trying to break into acting, as most aspiring actors do, he went to work for a restaurant. After working his way up the system, he decided to follow that career. He realized that, as a good supervisor, he could make a lot of positive differences in people's lives. Matt is married with a 3-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter.
Colin, 32, lives in Brooklyn, loves music and plays in three different bands as a bass player and sometime singer. He was with the group Frankenpine, which evolved into Tall County. He works for a moving company during the day to help support his musical career.
Andrew, 29, who got his bachelor's degree in fine arts from SUNY Purchase and a master's degree in special education, lives in Vermont and works in Burlington for a rehabilitation agency as a case manager for people with intellectual disabilities.
Steve is very proud of all three of his sons and what they've accomplished in their relatively young lives.
In retirement, Steve also can get back to writing poetry, something he's done as far back as he can remember. He's already written two books, one for his sons, called "Father to Sons," which became part of a fundraiser he did for Pendragon Theatre:
"Greetings," from "Father to Sons"
To all of you at first I was "Da," then became "Daddy" then "Dad."
At each step of your life, as my name morphed along, you greeted me with the new appellation.
"Da" was what you shouted at me when I came home from work.
It was a signal for you to be my focus, to wrestle, to play, to sing, to snuggle.
"Daddy" was time to throw a football, ride a bike, play a board game.
"Dad" meant teaching you to drive, playing Nintendo, a borrowed car, or deep conversation.
At each change of my name I felt a sense of sadness, yet felt a greater sense of pride.
The awesome responsibility of raising you, with the work, the worry, the sacrifice, the ups and downs, the anger, the joy, the tears, the laughter, the strength, the growth, the sacredness…
Each name is a benchmark, a milestone, that my task nears completion.
It was a burden that never grew too heavy, never sapped too much strength.
It was an honor to watch you all become men.
When I greet you now it is full and natural and as an equal.
This time is the best, this is what had to happen.
Steve's looking forward to discovering what this third age of his life will bring. His search for a meaningful life includes more fishing – a hobby he's loved since age 14 – participation in community organizations such as the Masons, Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Committee and membership in the Unitarian Universalist Church. He's currently helping the UU Social Justice Committee develop a forum on bullying of youth.
Ever since attending Syracuse University, Steve has been a fan of SU basketball. He once introduced Coach Boeheim at a fundraiser and recently appeared with Boeheim in a YES Network Center Stage television interview.
Actually, Steve said, "It was a brief shot of me in the audience."
He'll continue to enjoy theater and art openings and go wherever music is being played, especially if his son, Colin, is performing. And Steve's now working on his third book of poetry.
Steve has no plans to move from the Adirondacks.
"This beautiful land of mountains, lakes, and unique people will remain my home," he said.

Hi Matt, I know you are trying to adedsrs the masses, and do not know what your feelings are about other theoretical physicsts on this site (I know some other bloggers do not want others stealing their thunder), but as far as I am aware there is no real public forum for professionals, apart from conferences which are themselves very limited . Anyway if you do not wish that kind of thing, please tell me. In regards to the no Higgs scenario on your other page, my view is that you missed one very likely possibility no Higgs, no technicolor, no supersymmetry all that stuff being wrong. And this is now not as outlandish now as it sounds. A low width SM Higgs is now very unlikely. With no supersymmetric particles seen, by all previous standards in physics, that theory deserves to be called a speculation. It is really very unlikely. Technicolor it has really had a tough time to get it not to disagree with experimental facts as they are known now, in which process it has lost much of its appeal. Sure one can say there are many variants of the above two theories according to which nothing should yet be seen. But the point is that as old frontiers fall (a metaphor for a theory version) one can always twist and turn and introduce new parameters to put up a new bastion. Really Feynman was right, when presented with a variant of superstrings, its not the desire of agree with experiment that should tell you how many dimensions to compactify, but the theory itself.

About the Author: Nadia Sheikh is an intern in the Office of Pakistan Affairs in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.
When I began my internship four weeks ago, there were faint whispers of a possible upcoming U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue in late March or early April. With the confirmation of dates less than a week later, everyone in the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan and the Office of Pakistan Affairs, as well as countless other offices, began an intense dash to organize the event, set up travel and security plans for the Pakistani delegation, and hone ideas for the plenary and policy breakout sessions. At first, I was a stranger to the long workdays that many at State must work; the Sunday before the meeting, I too spent the day at the office, preparing for escort logistics, which was one of my responsibilities for the dialogue.
When the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue opened on March 24, both countries were optimistic about their vision for the two day event. As she spoke in front of the fireplace of the Ben Franklin room and stately U.S. and Pakistani flags, Secretary Clinton described the dialogue as the "start of something new -- a new phase in our partnership, with a new focus and a renewed commitment to work together to achieve the goals we share: stability, prosperity, opportunity for the people of both Pakistan and the United States."
Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi echoed similar sentiments to the audience of U.S. officials, Pakistani delegates, and the press. As an observer of this event, and as an American of Pakistani descent, the energy and positive tone of the event was not lost on me. In fact, I was taken aback by the cooperative demeanor and willingness of both the United States and Pakistani delegations in laying out their ideas for the next stage in U.S.-Pakistani relations, a relationship that has been marked by ups and downs in its history.
Equally important, the dialogue wasn't just about "talking the talk" -- the delegations met immediately after the opening session. Through sessions on agriculture, defense and security, economic development and finance, social issues, energy and water, and communications, the participants constructed deliverable goals on the issues that are crucial to both countries. These objectives included agriculture infrastructure assistance through a $30 million allocation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food for Progress program; a proposal for a Defense Planning Exchange in May and a Defense Consultative Group during July or August 2010; a pledge for the United States to work with Pakistan to make progress in the timely implementation of tax system and energy financing reforms; continued and expanded collaboration on improving quality and access to education; cooperation on a range of technological advances to include information technologies and telecommunications such as eLearning, eGovernance, telemedicine, and mobile banking; and mapping out progress on natural gas development and agendas for future discussions on water. On top of these deliverables, a letter of intent was signed to upgrade major road infrastructure in Northwest Pakistan, as well as implementation agreements for three thermal power station rehabilitation projects that will aid in combating electricity shortages in the country. The approval of flight access for Pakistan International Airlines to Chicago, via Barcelona, will also undoubtedly benefit Pakistani and American business travelers and families who want a more accessible route to Pakistan.
In these past few days, the desire to build better linkages politically, socially, and economically between Pakistan and the United States is apparent. As someone who has an interest in a successful partnership of both countries, I can only hope that what emerges out of these next few months, and the future series of talks in Islamabad, will deliver on these significant investments to the benefit of both countries.

Lets hope that what American taxpayers are paying for does make it to ordinary Pakistanis as a well-wishing gesture from the people of United States.

Great article- let's hope the talks would be fruitful.

It is encouraging to know that Pakistani Americans are being provided the chance to work at the State Dept - Diversity always helps frame the right policy!
Yawar S. in Canada writes:
We applaud President Obama and Secretary of the State Clinton for recognizing the special and historic relationship between the United States and Pakistan, which changed the world.
Pakistan helped USA -- China rapprochement, leading to President Nixon's historic visit to China, which contributed to global peace, trade and prosperity.
Pakistan was the front-line state fighting the Red Army in Afghanistan, which lead to the collapse of Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall, which contributed to world peace. The West and NATO would have spent trillions of dollars had this threat not been eliminated.
Pakistan is again the front-line state, fighting the War on Terror. No other nation has contributed or sacrificed more to assist United States for world peace than Pakistan.
God bless United States - Pakistan historic friendship for world peace and prosperity.
Yawar S. in Canada writes:
The destruction in Pakistan is of biblical proportions. Natural calamity like the unprecedented floods and the man-made calamity like the war on terror, have wreaked havoc by displacing millions of people and destroying millions of acres of farmland. This disater is thousand fold greater than the Haiti earthquake.
This unprecedented calamity, offers the United States a unique opportunity, to provide massive relief and emergency assistance, to help the people of Pakistan. Though the US has been generous, it must deal with this crisis on war footing, as it has unmatched capability to airlift massive relief supplies and avert a catastrophic situation of disease and hunger after the floods recede. Million of people will need to rebuild their houses, farms and lives.
The United States as the leader of the free world, should lead in this "humanitarian" mission, there could be no greater action to win the hearts and minds of the devastated people, by helping them at the time of their desperate need and survival.
Yawar S. in Canada writes:
This is to express gratitude and appreciation from the people of Pakistan for the outgoing U.S. Ambassador Anne W. Patterson. She served with great distinction, working tirelessly in difficult times, promoting friendship and goodwill not only between the governments, but between the people of the United States and Pakistan.
Her dedication and humanity were truly exemplary, she will be greatly missed and always remembered with love as a true friend of Pakistan.

Ron Paul's GOP legacy growing in states like Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa — Ron Paul is exiting the political stage, but his legions of followers insist they are only getting started.
Libertarian-leaning loyalists of the two-time Republican presidential candidate have quietly taken over key-state GOP organizations, ensuring future fights with the GOP's establishment and laying the groundwork for a future presidential candidate.
Their new relevance, especially in early caucus states Iowa and Nevada, could clear the way for such a candidate, perhaps Paul's son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. It's the next step in the group's ongoing development, from rambunctious malcontents of just a few years ago into more serious party activists bent on reshaping a party they say has drifted from its conservative roots.
"It's the maturation of the movement," said Matt Strawn, a former Iowa Republican Party chairman not affiliated with Paul. "If you're going to keep the franchise going, you need a candidate."
Iowa's state Republican governing body this month voted to re-elect as chairman and vice chairman two of Paul's top 2012 Iowa caucus campaign aides. Last year, Nevada Republicans similarly elected top Paul supporters to its two spots on the Republican National Committee.
All this despite Paul having lost Nevada's presidential caucuses last year to Mitt Romney, and finished third in Iowa's behind Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Paul backers also have made inroads into Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, in part vestiges of his 2012 presidential campaign.
Indeed, across the country, thousands of Paul's followers, many disillusioned after fighting in vain for his failed bid of 2008, regrouped in 2012 and dove head-first into the behind-the-scenes Republican Party delegate elections, fighting tooth and nail with old-guard GOP establishment activists for national convention seats.
And while Paul retired from Congress this month, his disciples picked up House seats in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan and Texas last year.
"In 2008, we came in thinking we could change the world," Nevada RNC committeeman James Smack said. "In 2012, we felt we at least had some say in it."
Yet, it's not clear how receptive the wider party will be to party members who agree with the GOP's core fiscal tenets, but break sharply on national security and foreign policy.
On social policy, Paul lines up with the GOP's mainstream, opposing abortion rights and gun control. On fiscal policy, he shares the view of many in his party that the current tax code, and the Internal Revenue Service, should end. But he is out of sync with the GOP broadly in supporting a return to the gold standard and ending the Federal Reserve system.
He is most sharply at odds with his party on military and international policy. He opposed the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, foreign aid to Israel and the option of U.S. military force to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, a position that cost him in the week leading up to last year's Iowa caucuses.
Pro-Paul state GOP organizations have been quick to distinguish themselves at times from their state's senior elected officials, as Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker did last fall in calling for the ouster of a state Supreme Court judge over gay marriage, a position GOP Gov. Terry Branstad did not publicly advocate.
Paul supporters' simmering tension with the party establishment, which overwhelmingly supported Romney, spilled over during the Republican national convention in Tampa, Fla., last year. Paul's supporters protested loudly pro-Romney committee votes to replace delegates from Maine who backed Paul and for a rule narrowing routes for delegates to future national conventions.
The contempt from the more mainstream elements of the GOP is mutual in places where Ron Paul supporters are on the rise.
In some states, establishment Republicans connected to the party's donor base have complained that the newcomers are hostile to candidates who didn't fit with Ron Paul's ideology.
These critics have pointed to measurable dips in state party fundraising in Iowa. Likewise in Nevada, where Romney and the RNC set up a shadow campaign last year out of doubts about the state GOP competence.
National party leaders are reaching out to these new leaders.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus, elected in 2011 to resuscitate the RNC's fundraising, has sought out Paul supporters as he seeks re-election.
And the view is emerging within the broader national party that it's better to have them inside the GOP organization, where they will be expected to perform in fundraising and, ultimately, winning elections.

Our Hover Power blogger Tim McAdams says the Robinson R66, the company's first turbine helicopter, feels a little bigger and a little heavier than the piston-powered R44. Its cabin is about eight inches wider than that of the R44. It uses a T-bar cyclic, which means transitioning from the R44 is eaiser. In a full pilot report for the December 2010 AOPA Pilot, McAdams pointed out that the R66 has a sleeker profile along with a Bell JetRanger-style baggage compartment located under the transmission deck. It can hold 300 pounds and "one design objective was for it to be large enough to carry two sets of golf clubs."—Jill W. Tallman

Wow there are some freaking loons on this board. I mean out of their God forsaken minds loons.
Franco, you really should go back to posting as your dog because you were much more likable back then. Now every time you post I just wonder if I should ask hard it was to wire up Internet down in that bunker of yours and if you could please release that little boy back to his parents.
Turning what RP said into a theology discussion is stupid. The outrage isn't about a Bible passage it's because he basically said that the man deserved to die that way and that's a very stupid thing to say.
"The thing I admire about the rat tail is that it takes commitment. It's not like one day you just decide you want one, you have to grow out that bad boy and you have to repeatedly convince the hairdresser to trust you because it's a great idea."
RP is against war, period. He used a Bible quote to back up what he thinks.
Why is that so hard for the RTF echo chamber to undertsand? He didn't say anything about the man deserving to die. The echo chamber must have a reading disability!

Anti-intellectualism and fascism go together like bacon and eggs.
IMO, the volunteer service has created a mercenary group, unlike the draftees of the pre-Vietnam era.

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
You accused RP of lining his pockets and had nothing, zero, zilich to back it up. You prefer your establishment Repubs. None of your Establishment guys have ever turned down Federal money unlike RP! And, just look at where your guys have gotten us as a nation! No wonder you like living in the past, you know little of the present.

Of couse you would Marv, you've been out of touch with reality for some time now.
Anti-intellectualism and fascism go together like bacon and eggs.
I have felt that a rise in the PTSD has been due to the fact that we haven't had a "just war" since WW1. Since then the government has been more and more bold forcing our soldiers to strike civilian targets with ground, air, and drone attacks. That has to weigh heavily on our men and women. Our interventionist policy uses our soldiers for political gain under the banner of a war on terror.
I voted for W and McCain, I used to believe war was something that is always needed if the US is involved. But since Afghanistan part two I have rethought our views and realized that we are just starting an endless war in the Middle East. Those folks are all crazy and we are not going to fix things. Here we are supporting rebels in Syria that are burning Christians and their homes to the ground.
All this to say I love our troops, and blindly supporting our leaders while they send our troops into conflicts around the world turns them into mercenaries or martyrs of the statists. I want them to defend our freedom under clear direction of a clear purpose. I would say the biggest attacks on our freedoms are stateside, not in the ME

Rated 4 out of 5�by BarnesYard Great product so far Easy to assemble and no issues at this point after a few weeks of use. June 7, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by mmingo Great fun with product, easy to install Ignoring the high shipping costs the product is great. Assembly was easy, product is solid if filled with water and brings a lot of fun. Due to the plastic there is no damage to anything it stands on. January 11, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Josh Don't buy Product is poor quality the net broke the first day August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ethan Awesome It works great for shooting because I don't really play volleyball and the dunking on this hoop is great but you can really grab the rim because the hoop would tip over but great product for a great price. June 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by granny pool basketball and volley ball sturdy. arrived quickly and the kids are having fun. thank you. June 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Hawks Not good You have to disassemble the basketball goal to play volleyball . It took 20 minutes to to. Much better off buying seperate items May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lewisfam2000 Better than expected I didn't think it would be as nice as is is, great price for a great product, very durable, and pretty easy to switch between the 2 games. June 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jake Solid Works great! Had it for about 6 years I think? Nothing ever broke yet. The net after 1or2 summers kind of wore out and from chlorine but I had a back up so I wasn't worried. I don't use the volleyball net often tho. Kind of a pain to dissemble everything so I just bought a separate net for volleyball May 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jo Ann Poor performance. The arm holding the net would fall apart, each time the ball hit the net. Constantly having to stop playing and put the net back together. Not worth the time and effort. June 12, 2012

LWRP may not come soon enough for Hanover
HANOVER – Local Waterfront Revitalization Plans cannot come quickly enough for the town of Hanover.
Hanover was the 10th municipality to receive an LWRP presentation from Chadwick Bay Regional Development Corp. Director Kathy Tampio and Northern Chautauqua County Local Development Committee Chair Jay Warren.
Hanover as a community could benefit greatly from the types of projects as LWRP aids in retrieving funds for such things as harbor maintenance, tourism, flooding and erosion prevention and utilization of natural resources. However, according to the time line the process of completing a regional LWRP and submitting the projects for funding could take two years.
"I don't think we can wait," Hanover Supervisor Todd Johnson said.
During the town board's workshop, Highway Superintendent Steve D'Angelo said he has still been in contact with state Senator Catharine Young's office to try to find funding to dredge Cattaraugus Creek.
"Cathy is working really hard for us," he said.
However, he said he has not heard back from the Department of Conservation in four weeks about the project.
"We are sitting by waiting," he added.
D'Angelo said he asked residents Jim Tunney and Edward Schintzius to measure the depth of the creek recently.
Tunney reported deeper water than last year at the town boat launch but said he will measure the depth again after the snowmelt is finished running into the creek. He said the water level by the state boat launch is only four feet deep.
He said he has seen the original contract from the Army Corp of Engineers when the breakwall was installed and the Corp promised lifelong maintenance of the area in order for it to act as a safe harbor.
Johnson said this information was "very enlightening."
The town is going to attempt to contact the ACE about the agreement.
"We are going to try, but we won't hold our breath," Councilman Fritz Seegert said. "We definitely need to do something."
D'Angelo agreed. "Once the water drops we will be out of business. It is going to be a tough year and it's going to affect a lot of community businesses like gas stations, restaurants and bait shops," he said.
Johnson said the town is going to continue to seek funding for the project and look for other solutions.
"If we pass the resolution (for the LWRP) it will be two years before anything happens. At this point we need to work harder on our end with the DEC and Senator Young to secure funding. We may need to look at some smaller shortcuts. It all hinges on permits from the DEC and Army Corp of Engineers," he said.
A resolution of support for the LWRP would need to be passed before June 1, which would promise $2,000 in the 2014 budget year, and participation in the steering committee. The group would need to apply for funding for the plan by July and would hear by December if the project was funded. Then a consultant would be hired to put together a plan, listing high priority projects in each municipality. After this plan is approved by the Department of State, the municipalities projects would be submitted to the Regional Council for possible funding.
The board did not discuss whether it would participate in the LWRP. The next board meeting will be held on April 22.

Hi !
I have an idea to edit multiple resources, described here:
Any opinion is welcome
You have obviously given a lot of thought to this but I don;t undrstnad what problem it is that you are trying to solve.
The interfaces you have shown look confusing and unintuitive, also users like check boxes. For example admin options in this punbb forum allow select all links and check boxes to maintain reports, they are dead easy to use and do not break RESTful protocol, (xml, json, html etc... still work fine) .
I just don't understand what problem you are trying to solve. I don't see a problem! Perhaps I have misunderstood something or maybe there is a language barrier, I assume English is not your native language?
Perhaps if you could be clear and concise in your explanation of the issue rather than explaining your thought processes I might get a clearer idea of the problem that you are trying to solve.

$19M Mega Millions ticket sold in U.P. store
HOUGHTON – Michigan Lottery officials say a Mega Millions ticket that's worth $19 million has been sold at a store in Houghton.
The Michigan Lottery says the sole winning ticket for Tuesday evening's drawing was sold at Festival Foods in Houghton. The winning numbers drawn were 2, 5, 10, 26 and 44. The Mega Ball number was 46.
There's no immediate word from the Michigan Lottery about the identity of the ticket buyer. The jackpot for Friday's drawing now drops to $12 million.
The winner of Tuesday's prize is required to claim their prize at the Lottery headquarters in Lansing. Prizes up to $600 may be claimed at one of nearly 11,000 licensed Lottery retailers in the state, and prizes up to $50,000 may be claimed at Lottery regional offices.
Because the jackpot is over $5,000 the Michigan Lottery will withhold an estimated 25 percent of the jackpot in federal taxes and 4.25 percent in state taxes. After taxes that will bring the jackpot down to $13,442,500.
Since 1972, the Michigan Lottery has paid out more than $23 billion in prize money and other merchandise. Winners have been from every county in the state.
The first Mega Millions jackpot was won in Sept. of 2002 by Jessee Bays Jr. of Kentwood. The jackpot was worth $17 million.
The largest single jackpot ever awarded in Michigan was from a Mega Millions ticket and was won in 2005 by Port Huron couple, Ralph and Mary Stebbins.
High ticket sales raised the prize amount from the advertised jackpot of $205 million to $208 million.
Fifty-eight cents of every dollar spent on lottery tickets in the State of Michigan are awarded as prizes to players.
However, 30 cents are awarded to schools throughout the state, representing 6.6 percent of the state's school aid fund.

Viitala leads No. 1 Redettes over Eskymos
ESCANABA – Tried as they might, the Escanaba Eskymos couldn't keep Hunter Viitala and the Marquette Senior High School basketball team down for long.
The U.P.'s top-ranked Redettes (8-2, 4-0 GNC) used a second half surge to put the Eskymos (2-6, 0-2) away 52-35 Tuesday night in a Great Northern Conference matchup.
The Redettes began the game cold as the Eskymos came out putting pressure on Marquette's shooters. Lynsey Collins was assigned to defend Viitala most of the night and held her to eight first-half points.
"They tried to take Viitala out of the game so we had to make adjustments," said MSHS coach Ben Smith. "As the game went one, we did a good job taking advantage of what was there."
The Redettes had only scored nine points 10 minutes into the game, but over the next 22 minutes, they racked up 43 points.
Already playing without Courtney LaFreniere, the Redettes were missing another senior in Morgan Seibert who was out with the flu, ending a streak of 30 consecutive games started.
Starting three sophomores on the road, Marquette made it work anyway.
In a first quarter that ended with Escanaba holding a tentative 6-5 lead, the Eskymos made the most of their few opportunities. Codi Jenshak opened the scoring and Escanaba took a 6-2 lead on buckets from Sydney Gafner and Michelle LaFave before Viitala hit a triple with 28 seconds left in the quarter.
Two minutes into the second, the Redettes led 9-6 before both teams began to break out on offense. The Eskymos surged ahead on back-to-back buckets on a jumper from Ashley Cook and a putback from LaFave after she came down with a rebound on her own missed shot. After a Redettes' free throw, LaFave hit two triples with Shayla Huebner answering in between. The Redettes ended the half with a triple from Liana Storm and a Kirsten Iwanski field goal to carry a 19-16 lead into the break.
"It was close at the half. We put a box-and-one on Viitala and limited her," said Esky coach Kelly O'Connell. "Marquette is a very good shooting team though. They're No. 1 for a reason, but we battled them. I'm proud of the effort."
The Redettes built off their momentum to start the second half. Just 30 seconds into the third quarter, the Redettes scored a quick four points off two quick steals. Spreading the ball around and taking lots of shots from the perimeter, the Redettes eventually amassed a 32-20 lead midway into the quarter.
LaFave answered with a three-point play, but the Redettes built their lead right back up with six consecutive points going into the fourth.
The Redettes continued to pour it on in the fourth quarter, at one point expanding their lead to 20 points. They hit three triples, two from Viitala who broke out in a big way, finishing with 18 points. She also compiled six rebounds and four steals. Lydia Kurin had 10 points and seven rebounds while Storm scored nine points with five steals and seven assists.
"We're a team where every player needs to be there," said Smith. "Morgan was our leading rebounder and it changes the dynamic a bit with her out. Liana had some nice steals and made a big three in the first half and Kirsten had a couple of rim runs in the second half. We put Liz Kurin on LaFave. She had two threes but when she drove inside, she made her earn it. We knew we had to find her while holding everyone else down."
LaFave finished with a game-high 19 points and 14 rebounds.
Marquette won the JV game 47-17.

I love NOW Foods products; I can't say enough good things about the quality and price. Buyers should know, though, that the source of this creatine monohydrate is from China and the Chinese vendor is relied upon to certify product quality.
Posted by Reviewer3099688 on Sep 29, 2014
I am 46 years old, have been a professional Athlete and trainer since the early 1990's. In relation to the people saying this Creatine doesn't mix well... it does compared to others. Any residue is very minor and NOT a problem at all.I used Creatine Monohydrate when it first came out many years ago and back then yeah it was like sand, but not this one at all. Secondly, while I have used Creatine a few times in the past, results were sketchy at best and usually not sustained. For some reason I decided to give it a try again, and to be honest I was surprised that results were noticeable. I put on about 1.5 kg quickly (definitely NOT fat as I am obviously losing fat at the moment) and noticed an immediate increase in my strength of around 10% on unilateral lifts. My dosage is 5 grams 3-4 times a day continuously, not 'loading' then dropping the amount. My bodyweight is around 72 kilograms. I use a few NOW brand products and have been very happy with them, this Creatine is now also added to that list. Hope this helps.
Great Value

Posted by 5244343543045825780 on Feb 17, 2014
I have been using this product for just about a month now and I am already starting to see more hard muscle and better definition. However I won't be ordering again. This product mixes horrendously. I have to mix it with 25+oz of water and shake it vigorously for 5 or so minutes before it mixes at all so I'd definitely recommend mixing it with a thicker juice, like orange juice, so it just suspends. I'm just not a big juice drinker (especially the thicker ones), so this is irritating for me. Also it does have a very bitter taste, complete with aftertaste, that is definitely detectable when mixed with water.
Excellent product with a few reservations
Posted by Reviewer2078574 on Aug 21, 2010
(1) Best value on the market (2) Produces ergogenic impact for older adults (@ 5gm 2t/d) in connection with strength training; reduces fatigue (3) Helpful for older adults with constipation problems (4) Being used by NIH in huge study of quality of life for people with Parkinson's Disease (5) Does not dissolve completely, so mix in drinks with natural suspension (e.g., tomato or orange juice or chocolate milk) (6) Will continue to buy and recommend By: Charles G.

Who's learning Spanish these days?
For starters, residents of the United States, a bunch not known for conquering monoligualism, are studying Spanish in record numbers. Spanish, too, is becoming of greater importance in Europe, where it often the foreign language of choice after English. And it's no wonder that Spanish is a popular second or third language: with some 400 million speakers, it's the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world (after English, Chinese and Hindustani), and according to some counts it has more native speakers than English does. It is an official language on four continents and is of historical importance elsewhere.'
The numbers alone makes Spanish a good choice for those wanting to learn another tongue. But there are plenty of other reasons to learn Spanish. Here are a few:
Better understanding of English: Much of the vocabulary of English has Latin origins, much of which came to English by way of French. Since Spanish is also a Latin language, you will find as you study Spanish that you have a better understanding of your native vocabulary. Similarly, both Spanish and English share Indo-European roots, so their grammars are similar. There is perhaps no more effective way to learn English grammar than by studying the grammar of another language, for the study forces you to think about how your language is structured. It's not unusual, for example, to gain an understanding of English verbs' tenses and moods by learning how those verbs are used in Spanish.
Knowing your neighbors: Not all that many years ago, the Spanish-speaking population of the United States was confined to the Mexican border states, Florida and New York City. But no more, there may be Spanish-speaking people living on the same street as you do. Knowing Spanish has proven invaluable in speaking with other residents of any town who don't know English.
Travel: Yes, it is perfectly possible to visit Spain or any other Spanish speaking country without speaking a word of Spanish. But it isn't nearly half as much fun.
Cultural understanding: While most of us can't hope to learn the languages of more than one or two cultures other than that of our own, those that we can learn help us to learn how other people learn and think. When you read Latin American or Spanish newspapers, for example, you often find that you gain a sense of how other people think and feel. Spanish also offers a wealth of literature, both modern and traditional.
Learning other languages: If you can learn Spanish, you'll have a head start in learning the other Latin-based languages such as French and Italian. And it will even help you learn Russian and German, since they too have Indo-European roots and have some characteristics (such as gender and extensive conjugation) that are present in Spanish but not English. And I wouldn't be surprised if learning Spanish might even help you learn Japanese or any other non-Indo-European language, since intensive learning the structure of a language can give you a reference point for learning others.
It's easy: Spanish is one of the easiest foreign languages to learn. Much of its vocabulary is similar to English's, and written Spanish is almost completely phonetic: Look at almost any Spanish word and you can tell how it is pronounced. And while mastering the grammar of Spanish can be a challenge, basic grammar is straightforward enough that you can have meaningful communication after only a few Spanish lessons.
Employment opportunities: If you're in the United States and work in one of the helping professions including medicine and education, you'll find your opportunities expand by knowing Spanish. And wherever you live, if you're in any occupation that involves international trade, communications or tourism, you'll similarly find opportunities to use your new language skills.
It's fun: Whether you enjoy talking, reading, or mastering challenges, you'll find all of them in learning Spanish. For many people, there's something inherently enjoyable about successfully speaking in another tongue. Perhaps that's one reason children sometimes speak in Pig Latin or device secret codes of their own. Although learning a language can be work, the efforts pay off quickly when you finally get to use your skills.
For many people, Spanish offers the most rewards with the least effort of any foreign language. It's never too late to begin learning.

Supermicro, a leading maker of servers, workstations and other solutions aimed at professionals and businesses, on Monday unveiled its first products based on Intel Atom processors and aimed at industrial personal computer applications.
"Bringing the low-power consumption advantages of Atom processors to the server appliance market empowers our customers with energy-saving, quiet solutions that provide flexible expansion and storage features previously unattainable with Atom solutions," said Charles Liang, president and chief executive officer of Supermicro..
According to Supermicro, Atom-based platforms are intended for storage and network appliances or print and email servers. In addition, Supermicro's mini-tower chassis may enable cost-effective home or office desktop for basic computing including Internet usage, office and educational applications.
Initially Supermicro will offer two Atom-based platforms: X7SLA-L powered by Atom 230 (single-core, 1.60GHz, 4W) as well as X7SLA-H featuring Atom 330 (dual-core, 1.60GHz, 8W). The cost-effective X7SLA-L platform supports up to four Serial ATA ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, along with seven USB 2.0 headers, 2GB DDR2 memory, Intel GMA 950 graphics core and a Gigabit Ethernet port. The more advanced X7SLA-H sports dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, an additional onboard Type A USB 2.0 connector and an extra internal serial port. The platforms may be installed either into typical server cases or into Supermicro's cases for desktops.
Besides mainboards featuring Intel Atom, Supermicro also offers two server solutions SuperServer 5015A supports two internal hard drives, and a full-height, half-length expansion card option, yet it is only 9.8" in depth.
For greater expansion and storage features, Supermicro offers the SuperServer 5035A, which supports four hot-swap drive bays and three add-on cards. This server comes in mini-tower chassis and features a 300W power supply. This machine also supports two external 5.25" bays and Kensington lock security to safeguard the system.

Under the system, every log that turns up at a port must be traceable back to a stump in the forest.forest plunderers in a country which recently discovered that a third of U.S. food aid disappeared after being routinely allocated to towns that did not exist.
Under President Charles Taylor, now on trial for war crimes, timber and terror went together.profit by selling carbon credits earned under the proposed UN system for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). Since there is no immediate risk to the forests concerned, this seemed a dubious proposition. But the real scandal, according to Global Witness, was that if nobody bought the credits, the contract would leave the Liberian government liable for up to $2.2 billion a year in compensation. That amounted to more than the country's entire GDP.

If You Could Ask Genealogists.....
What questions would you like to ask genealogists? What would you like to know? We'll pick from your questions and set up a survey by the end of the week. The survey results will be posted here for anyone to view as soon as they have been tabulated.
Please post suggestions as replies to this message and please don't spam us. If your question has a list of possible answers, include at least some of them to help me when I'm formulating the question for the survey. For example if your question is "what newsletters do you read?" then include titles of some so I can give respondents a list to choose from instead of having them type them in.
Submission of a question does not guarantee it will be included in the survey. Inclusion of questions is at Michael's discretion. Deadline for submission is noon central time Thursday 25 March 2010.

1) Have you ever used Interlibrary Loan at your local library to borrow genealogical materials?ReplyDelete
2) If not, why not? [possible choices could include: Librarian was unhelpful, Was told genealogy can't be borrowed, was told there would be a charge I can't afford, Live too far away from a library, I didn't know they would borrow things for me!---etc., etc.]
How do you research a Civil War Confederate prisoner who enlisted in the US Navy while a prisoner? Where are the records of these men?ReplyDelete
What do you know now that you wish you'd known when you started?ReplyDelete
Who's your role model? Specifically, when you get stuck and say to yourself, "I wonder how ____________ would handle this," whose name do you put in the blank?ReplyDelete
How does one become a professional genealogist? Are there schools or courses to take, groups to get involved with? Do most professionals have a specialization?ReplyDelete
For those who are Certified Genealogists, other than having the title, do you feel the CG has helped you in the actual research? Did you see an increase in clients obtaining the certification.ReplyDelete
For those who have not chosen to get Certified, do you feel it has hendered your research in any way, in that you could have more clients or be a better researcher should you go that path. Why have you chosen not to get Certified?
(The above may be two questions)
How old were you when you started doing genealogy?ReplyDelete
Years ago, I read somewhere that the average age one starts doing genealogy is 55. My suspicion is that the average age is getting younger. LOL I was a couple years younger than that myself.

Duke Law Journal's Fortieth Annual Administrative Law Symposium focused on immigration law and adjudication. The symposium explored the rights of unauthorized migrants in the United States and how those rights are obliquely enforced. The symposium also studied the adjudicative competencies of immigration judges in light of the increased involvement of local and state authorities in the enforcement of immigration law. Finally, the symposium looked at the effect of specialized judges in immigration cases and will examine concrete proposals for reforming the immigration adjudication system. Participants include Lawrence Baum (Ohio State University, Political Science Department), Jennifer Chacón (UC Irvine School of Law), Adam Cox (University of Chicago Law School), Stephen Legomsky (Washington University Law School), Hiroshi Motomura (UCLA Law School), Cristina Rodriguez (New York University School of Law), and Russell Wheeler (Brookings Institute).

Cramer, Pendola and Apple's Two Worlds Colliding
Interestingly, there's nothing in my contract that says I have to agree with everything Cramer says just because he founded TheStreet. In fact, the guy has been nicest to me when I'm feisty.
Cramer's jealous of my wind blown hair. I could never pull off a shiny dome like he does because I've got an unsightly, lumpy noggin. So it's all good. At least in that respect, we spar on a level playing field.
On one hand, Jim and I agree -- Apple needs another OMG product. I've been writing about that since Steve Jobs passed. For a while, that train of thought made me quite bearish near-term and long-term.
But then . . . something happened. The selloff that absolutely should happen if Apple fails to release the next big thing came about a year too soon . What started as capital gains-related, end-of-year tax selling turned into media and analyst hysteria that has, almost singlehandedly, made AAPL a volatile dog, relative to its past performance.
I get deeper into everything I broach in that paragraph at the links and throughout my article history at TheStreet.
Monday, in Apple Competes With Its Unwritten Future , I laid out my case as clearly as I ever have. For better or worse, the whole Wall Street Journal controversy buried the Joe Strummer-inspired "Unwritten Future" article.
In it, I discuss the notion of The Two Apples :
There's the Apple inside the next six to 12 months that can do almost anything it wants and win big. The foreseeable future Apple ...
Then, there's the Apple beyond the next year. The 12- to 18- to 24-months-down-the-road Apple. The decisions the company makes today set it up for that period. A period where we still might not have suitable answers, but we'll get more clarity on the question of whether Apple can not only innovate, but remain a socially dominant, enterprise-prominent premium brand without Steve Jobs.
It's a bit like the Worlds Theory ; right now, The Two Apples have collided.
Everybody loves iPod Apple, iPhone Apple, iPad Apple, light-thin-and-powerful Macbook Apple, innovative Apple. But, beyond the next year Apple is killing foreseeable future Apple . And that's not good.
How in the world can stocks such as Best Buy (BBY) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) rise on news that's bad, but not quite as bad as expected, yet foreseeable future Apple continues to dominate only to drop on noise?
We not only expect perfection from, but we turn on what is clearly the best company in the world. Apple deserves as much love and support (in the create a floor for the stock sense) as Amazon.com (AMZN) .

N.D. gun bills tossed
Two bills that would have severely impacted shooting sports and all firearms owners in North Dakota were quickly scrapped by the state Legislature. Thank goodness.
Rep. Steven L. Zaiser, District 21 Democrat from Fargo, introduced House Bills 1415 and 1416 to the Legislature last week. Zaiser was the sole sponsor of both bills.
HB 1415 specified that "A person may not sell, purchase or possess a semi-automatic rifle manufactured after July 31, 2013, which has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: a folding or telescopic stock, a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, a bayonet mount, a flash suppressor or threaded barrel, or a grenade launcher."
It is a good thing that Zaiser's ill-fated bill was quickly rejected by lawmakers. The bill would have eliminated the sale of one of today's most popular style of firearms that is used extensively in shooting sports competitions by safe, law-abiding citizens. In addition, bayonet mounts have been on millions of firearms in America since the Revolutionary War, yet such mounts, not bayonets, are a problem now? Seriously?
Also, I've never or heard of a grenade launcher on any of the civilian-use rifles targeted by Zaiser. Somewhere, somebody may have one, or a look-alike, but possessing grenades is clearly illegal. The wording is inflammatory.
HB 1416 introduced by Zaiser says "A person may not sell, purchase or possess a large capacity ammunition feeding device manufactured after July 31, 2013." Large capacity is defined as 10 rounds or more. However, Zaiser's bill made an exception for .22 rimfire rifles that are fed through a tube which would hold far more than 10 rounds. Perhaps Zaiser is unaware that statistics show the little .22, outside of war, is responsible for more deaths than any other caliber of firearms.
Quite understandably, there is a national focus on how to prevent mass murderers from unleashing their mayhem in the future. But proposals like Zaiser's, in effect, punish countless law-abiding gun owners who also vehemently detest senseless killings. Is it any wonder that gun owners feel their Second Amendment rights slipping away due to the heinous acts of a few obviously deranged people?
Nearly all of the semi-automatic handguns currently possessed or for sale today were manufactured to accept magazines containing 10 or more rounds of ammunition. Some handguns were designed around what is called a "single stack," 10-round magazine that inserts into the pistol grip. However, the majority of full-sized handguns come with standard "double stack" magazines that typically hold 15 to 17 rounds of ammunition.
Ironically, it is the smallest semi-automatic firearms, those easiest to conceal, that usually contain 10 or fewer rounds of ammunition. It should also be noted that magazines can be switched so rapidly, even by average shooters, that there is little noticeable delay in a shooting sequence. Experienced revolver shooters trigger six rounds, reload and fire with amazing quickness.
Firearms are here to stay. U.S. citizens own millions of them, protected by the "the right to keep and bear arms." I've talked to numerous firearms owners about proposed gun legislation. Despite how gun owners and advocates are portrayed, the vast majority is not adamantly and unanimously opposed to any viable solution to tragic events like what occurred at Newtown, Conn. However, they are keenly aware of any infringement of the Second Amendment that begins the process of chipping away at freedoms and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
Zaiser's proposals showed a willingness to trade the rights of all citizens in exchange for ineffective legislation. Quite properly, both bills have been trashed.
The Fargo lawmaker did not reply to two e-mail requests for an explanation of why the bills were drafted or if he intends to introduce similar legislation in the future.

Maple Syrup Additives
Posted by Reviewer2469206 on Jul 13, 2012
"Butter to line the casks they collect the syrup in" - "Butter and (in some cases) peanut oil can be used to keep maple syrup from frothing up and boiling over" - "Defoamers - Many different products are used to reduce the foaming of the boiling sap during evaporation. Commercially available vegetable fat derivatives, either liquid or powdered, butter, milk, or vegetable oil is often used. Only a small amount is needed to control foaming and using too much will create an off-flavor in the syrup." (http://maple.dnr.cornell.edu/pubs/MapleFlavor&SyrupGrading.pdf)
It's caramel syrup with a hint of maple
Posted by Reviewer1801090 on Jan 22, 2015
I am dissapointed because it tastes like the caramel done with sugar and water and just a slighty flavour of maple. I expected more deep rich flavour as advertised. I will try the standard version.

The lid cover can not tightly close. And It taste dry and nothing like the ordinary pancake syrup, beside the fact " organic " I don't recomended for my friends and family.
