Thursday, October 04, 2012Ken DeLoria 10/04/12 05:53 PM,"Cause you are a magnet, and I am steel." – Walter Egan Magnets play a vital role in hundreds of thousands of devices, ranging from small toys and disk drives, to washing machines, industrial motors, and of course, loudspeakers (and microphones). And chief among magnetic material is the rare-earth composite called neodymium. It's more properly known as Nd–Fe-B, for indeed, what we casually call "neo" is really a processed alloy of three elements: neodymium, ferrite, and boron. Neo is highly… View this story

Friday, November 18, 2011PSW Staff 11/18/11 08:43 AM,(Editor's Note: Eminence Speaker LLC contributed to this report.) Cone drivers (also referred to as woofers and transducers in this article) are not overly complex. When an electrical current passes through a wire coil (the voice coil) in a magnetic field, it produces a force that varies with the current applied. The cone, connected to the voice coil, moves in and out, creating waves of high and low air pressure. The coil and magnet assembly are the "motor structure" of… View this story

Monday, August 08, 2011PSW Staff 08/08/11 06:59 AM, 0 CommentsThe latest addition to the RCF line of 18-inch woofers - the LF18X401 - is now shipping. The new design incorporates a high-power ferrite magnet, ventilation, and very low power compression. The materials used in the ferrite magnet create a force factor very close to a typical neodymium circuit. The LF18X401 also features a fiber-loaded cone assembly along with a high-excursion triple roll, constant geometry surround.

Compression drivers were also a key component in "horn and driver" designs that, until about 15 years ago, were the most popular choice for public address systems in large-scale venues such as arenas and stadiums.

The simplest two-way systems have a single cone driver and a high-frequency driver, side by each.

We report the successful production of high-quality gold wires, with diameters down to , by direct fiber drawing from a gold-filled fused-silica cane. The stack-and-draw technique makes it straightforward to incorporate a conventional step-index core, adjacent to the gold wire, in the cane. In the drawn fiber, strong coupling of light from the glass core to SPP resonances on the gold wire is observed at specific well-defined wavelengths. Such embedded wires have many potential applications, for example, as nanoscale electrodes, in nonlinear optical plasmonics, and as near-field scanning optical microscope tips.

Who is the Republican running against U.S. Rep. John Spratt this fall?
I can't determine if the candidate is the new state senator from Lancaster County or someone from the national GOP.
It seems like every quote from his campaign is not from the candidate, but from some hack in Washington.
This begs the question, "Who needs a puppet from the Republican National Committee representing South Carolina's 5th District?"
The GOP has made a number of salacious, misleading and downright false statements about Congressman Spratt.
We attended a Lancaster outdoor Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party on July 3. On April 15 we attended a Tea Party at the same location. About 300 people attended the April event and about 500 attended the July party.
Liberal moderate Republican Lindsey Graham recently said, "The TEA parties will die out."
Well, I know where he stands and it is not with the people who voted him into office. The conservative people can forget getting any support from him.
On April 17, Donna White, of Lancaster, led the Walk for Ryan.
It was a fundraiser honoring the memory of her son, Ryan, who struggled with Kleine-Levin Syndrome and tragically died of unrelated health complications.
Donna's event raised $3,500 for the Kleine-Levin Syndrome Foundation's research fund.
Although the Foundation acknowledged and thanked Donna for her work and the money she raised, we neglected to thank the community of Lancaster for supporting Donna in her efforts to help find a cause and a cure of KLS.
Seems the push is on for alcohol sales on Sunday.
A resident of Belair, which is in the suburbs of Indian Land, found no place to eat on Sunday. Musta been a recent arrival, apparently the straight-up-the-road drive to Pineville or Ballentine alluded her.
Then there is the employee of a bistro, who thinks a little wine with a Sunday luncheon will bring in loads of income for her establishment.
Early work from the Lancaster County high school football camps reflect an upbeat mood.
Teams capped required conditioning sessions and looked to launch contact drills in preparation for opening scrimmages Friday.
Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson interim head coach David Moore said the Volunteers' 2010 preseason drills opened with an upbeat feeling with the AJ football version of Midnight Madness.
I want to reply to Arlene C. Harris, whose letter to the editor, "Grandmother mad about comments," in the July 16 edition of The Lancaster News, referred to my online comments about her daughter.
You said that I made "stupid" comments. That means I got your attention.
I don't know your daughter, but I was in a store when she approached me and started telling about a benefit to support her child, Jaylen Jackson, who was killed when she apparently got caught in the crossfire of a gunfight. I asked what happened and she told me.
I am writing in response to the article, "Should Sunday sales of alcohol be OK'd?," in the July 21 edition of The Lancaster News.
What we need to remember is that Sunday is the Lord's Day or what is generally referred to as the Sabbath Day.
Well, since Sunday is the Lord's Day, then maybe we need to ask him if Sunday alcohol sales are acceptable to him. God, what is your answer to this question? "My answer is remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy," that is the Lord's answer for sure. He is never wrong.
We want to thank those who made Mt. Calvary Outreach Summer Enrichment Camp a success. They include: John P. Stevens Foundation, parents, group leaders, bus drivers, senior helpers, Mt. Calvary Outreach board members, The University of South Carolina at Lancaster, Kershaw Swimming Pool, Kershaw Community Health Education Center (KCHEC,) KARE, Youth Serve, Kershaw News Area, Kershaw area churches and individual donors.
Lancaster Motor Speedway was quiet Saturday night as rain washed out LMS action at the half-mile oval.
Despite the rainout, points races are tight as drivers gear for the stretch run. Here's a breakdown on the track divisions.
Steve Davis has the NDRA points lead over Timbo Mangum, Harold Purser and "The Gambler," Brandy Baker. Davis has been consistent since he took over the points lead early in the season, but he has been feeling the heat from Mangum, Purser and Baker all season long.
It was hard to tell who was happier at Renew Church on Saturday morning – the children getting a new pair of shoes or the volunteers fitting the children for their new footwear and washing their feet.
Renew Church, non-denominational congregation, participated in the Samaritan's Feet drive in Lancaster County on Saturday. Covenant and Sherwood Baptist churches, and Team Church in Kershaw also participated.

It can always be an advantage to know where the power is and who has the power.
Some politicians spend their entire careers doing just this.
Yesterday I learned of someone who has some real power in New Hampshire and more likely the United States or at least the decision making process in Washington, D.C. which is also immense power.
So who am I talking about?
I'll put it in the form of a question: Name someone who can go to Washington, D.C. that has the credentials to secure some $3.85 million for a railroad study then come back to New Hampshire lose an Executive Council vote by 3-2 vote and still keep the state contract on track for completion?
That's right you guessed it: Former Senator Peter Burling!
Is this amazing, real power or what the latest I've heard is that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the latest candidate to step forward and offered to accept the federal funds if New Hampshire won't. So that this rail study can move forward.
This is also significant because it also sidesteps other projects that are not only viable but would create verifiable jobs and taxbase and would also have the ability to pay the funds back.
This tells me how power works and who has the real power in New Hampshire.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.nbc33.com) – Even though Wednesday is the first day of spring, chances are Mother Nature is not done messing with just yet. If all the changes in weather get you down, you may be suffering from what's known as "seasonal depression," or "seasonal affective disorder."
It's actually more common than typical forms of depression, which affects roughly 7 percent of the population, but a lot of the symptoms are the same. These include a loss of appetite, lack of motivation, or lowered self-confidence. Where seasonal depression is different however is these symptoms are brought on by changes in the weather.
Seasonal depression typically spans from September through late March or even early April. And while the use of medication is common, other treatment options like "mood lamps" and exercise are also recommended.
"I'm (a) very strong advocate of treating it," says Dr. Stephen Ross, a clinical psychologist. "If you're going to treat it medicinally you also need to treat it physically with cutting back on carbohydrates, cutting back on the drinking, increase in your exercise."
While this may seem like a diet, in some ways the best way to treat seasonal depression is through a lifestyle change similar to dieting.
Some sufferers report a lack of self-confidence in the way they look while others tend to become unmotivated and lazy. So to combat this, Dr. Ross says getting out of the house and away from the desk are great ways to treat this problem.
Even doing simple things like meeting up with friends after work, or enrolling in a new fitness class at your gym may help. Dr. Ross even mentioned going for a walk on days when Mother Nature cooperates. Getting outside for some fresh air and sunshine can sometimes be enough to shake a groggy mood.

Waldorf Teacher Education
Waldorf Education is one of the fastest growing independent school movements in the world
Waldorf Education will celebrate its centenary anniversary in 2019. For a third of that time, the Waldorf Teacher Education Program at Antioch University New England has been at the forefront of Waldorf teacher education in the United States. With more than 1,000 Waldorf Schools in 60 countries, Waldorf Education is currently one of the fastest growing independent school movements in the world. We continue to meet the growing need for exceptionally trained Waldorf teachers.
Educate the Heart, Hands, and Mind of a Child
We offer a year-round option (including two summers) in Keene, New Hampshire, for pre-service teachers including elementary public school teacher certification; a three summer sequence option for in-service and pre-service teachers living at a distance; and a two summer Healing Education option for experienced Waldorf teachers and advanced anthroposophic practitioners.
Learn more!
Our internationally renowned faculty members have been Waldorf classroom teachers themselves for many years. They have published books on the subject, and are popular speakers in Waldorf communities the world over.
Antioch University New England is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Founded in 1964, Antioch University New England's commitment to social, environmental, and economic justice serves as a foundation for all programs.
The MEd in Elementary Education with NH Teacher Certification is a 44-credit on-campus, year-round program for people who want to become certified public school teachers. At the end of the program, students are prepared to apply for NH Certification. The State of New Hampshire participates in a reciprocal teacher certification agreement with many other states. Visit our webpage Teaching Reciprocity – Getting Certified in Other States and talk with faculty for more information.
People who only want to focus on Waldorf education and do not want state certification can earn a 32-credit Waldorf MEd in Elementary Education in the year-round on-campus program, or the summer sequence program. Those with bachelor's, or master's degrees are eligible for this program.
Those who are not seeking a master's degree but want to complete the Waldorf Teacher Education can take this 28-credit Waldorf Certificate program either year-round on campus, or as a summer sequence program. Those with associate's, bachelor's, or master's degrees are eligible for this program.
The Waldorf Teacher Education program at Antioch University New England (AUNE) offers a two-summer master's in education (MEd) degree, with a transdisciplinary focus on healing education. This advanced level program is offered by the Waldorf Program of AUNE in collaboration with the Camphill Academy, bringing together experienced anthroposophic practitioners from various disciplines, united by the striving to work out of healing impulses in lifespan development. Participants will typically have EITHER:
- A minimum of five to seven years of professional experience in a relevant field, with a practice based on anthroposophic foundations, or
- Have completed a four-year program of the Camphill Academy. Enrollment concurrent with the advanced level of a Camphill Academy program may be considered in exceptional cases.
The program may also interest practitioners who have completed a professional training program without formal accreditation in the past and now want to earn a master's degree from an accredited university. This advanced track master's program with a transdisciplinary focus on healing education is designed for those practitioners who wish to:
- Further transform and evolve their practice through applied spiritual scientific inquiry
- Develop methodological approaches to work in a disciplined and focused way with questions arising from their practice
- Conduct research in a specialized focus area of their choice
- Enhance their capacity for collaborative inquiry and work in transdisciplinary contexts
- Innovate and plant seeds for future development within their field of practice
The overall aim is to move beyond mastery of one's established professional practice, through active engagement in contemplative and collaborative action research, based on a deepened understanding of the human being and the development of tools and capacities for applied spiritual scientific research. Participants in the 32-credit MEd program will work together with AUNE and Camphill faculty during two summer residencies in Wilton, New Hampshire. Practicum and on-line action research projects will be undertaken in the intervening year, and a master's project/thesis will be completed in the final fall semester. Each student will be assigned an advisor on the basis of a chosen focus area of research and professional background. A 28-credit certificate option without master's thesis is also available.
The Next Waldorf Administration & Leadership Development cohort will convene at AUNE on September 16-21, 2016. Apply here.
Waldorf schools are self administered, which means that most decisions are made on site by faculty, staff and trustees. This allows for policies that are child-centered and responsive to the changing needs of a local community and curriculum that corresponds to the child's changing consciousness. Those who know the children make the decisions. However, site based management also presents significant challenges. Sometimes faculty members are selected to leadership roles based on their pedagogical expertise and the confidence of their colleagues but without necessary skills in communication, group dynamics, facilitation, conflict resolution etc. Likewise, a school often hires administrative personnel with expertise in finances, development, admissions, marketing etc who have the needed skill sets but do not have a background in Waldorf education or the philosophy, Anthroposophy, that guides decision making in a Waldorf school. There is a need for greater role clarity so groups, committees and individuals work collaboratively rather than at cross purposes. Antioch University New England is pleased to announce a new learning experience custom designed to bridge the gaps between pedagogy and administrative expertise.
Who should attend?
- Administrative staff who have expertise in specific areas of school admin but need more background in Waldorf, Anthroposophy, collaboration and group dynamics.
- Waldorf school leaders such as faculty chair, college chair, committee chairs etc who are experienced in pedagogy but now have been asked to serve in a variety of leadership roles and need additional skill sets.
- Administrators from Camphill communities and other non-profit ventures based upon Anthroposophy.
We hope participants will experience first hand the kind of collaboration needed in schools yet without the high stakes of their own place of employment. The design of the program will allow both groups (one and two above) to interact and even inform/learn from one another but at the same time have separate sessions based upon the needs of administrators or faculty leaders.
The Schedule
We're mindful of time commitments and the limited funds available to schools, we've designed an economical, non-credit bearing experience focused on the working school leader, balancing face to face experiential learning, mentoring and online learning. The entire program lasts just 13 months with only 10 days required residency (in two 5- day institutes) away from work and family. We will foster a retreat like atmosphere for each residency while at the same time expecting a high level of focus and discourse.
Session 1 A 5-day residency in Keene, NH September 16-21, 2016. Participants will travel on a Friday and be welcomed Friday night with introductions and social activities. Classes will be held from 9-5 on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday with a half day on Wednesday so participants can travel home Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning will be a required rest and reflection time with re-entry into the life of the school Thursday afternoon in time for faculty and staff meetings. Cost: $1500
Session 2 Participants may choose a five day Renewal course offered by the Center for Anthroposophy in Wilton, NH, either the last week of June or first week of July depending of awareness of personal/professional need: there are usually a dozen or more courses to choose from in the arts, anthroposophy, pedagogy etc. Cost: $500 (Those who have recently done a Renewal course may ask to excused for this session)
Session 3 Online independent study will focus on a series of readings targeting one of the two threads (foundation studies or school leadership) and online postings of reflections on the readings, with emphasis on the question, "How can this material help me better navigate my journey in a Waldorf school?" Cost: $500 (Members of the 2015 cohort group should click here to register)
Session 4 Phone and email mentoring. Each participant will be matched with an experienced mentor in his/her field and will be expected to spend at least one hour per week in a distant mentoring session. These conversations will be confidential and the only verification will be that the mentor will be required to affirm that at least ten one hour sessions occurred and the dates of the meetings. Cost: $500 paid directly to mentor
Session 5 A final 5-day institute in Keene, NH in September of 2017. Further content will be offered on a variety of themes, experiences of the past year will be shared and processed with an emphasis on case studies and problem solving. The final morning will include a graduation and celebration. Participants will be awarded a certificate of completion from AUNE Cost: $1500
Total cost: $4,500.
Please note that these charges fall over two fiscal years. Travel, room and board are not included. We do not anticipate having a scholarship program for this experience, but a discount of 20% will be given to a school when two or more participate and/or to AUNE alumni.
Application information: Apply for the September 2016 cohort here. Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis, first come first served. Required information for applicants includes a summary of relevant past formal learning and work experience, a brief self assessment of the candidates' strengths and challenges as a school leader, and a letter of assurance from board or faculty leadership supporting the candidate's participation in the program.

Waldorf Education was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian educator, philosopher, scientist, and artist. He based this new art of education on a knowledge of the developing human being called anthroposophy. Anthroposophy offers a philosophy of personal transformation that is of great value to the vocation of teaching. Antioch University New England's Waldorf Teacher Education Program, based on Steiner's philosophy, was inaugurated in 1982 to meet the rapidly growing need for Waldorf teachers in North America.

PARMA, Ohio -- Superintendent Jeff Graham said he didn't take the Westlake superintendent job offered to him because the process took so long.
Upset Parma district moms questioned Graham at a school board meeting Monday, saying they feared that Graham would consider leaving again. He read a statement and took questions later in the meeting, but they said he did not fully answer their questions.
"Though I was honored to ultimately be identified as Westlake's top candidate, their selection process was very thorough and went pretty late into the month of June. With the start of a new school year quickly approaching, I found this process becoming progressively more distracting to the work before us as we planned for next school year," Graham read. "I ultimately decided that it was in the district's best interest for me to stay to stay in Parma at this time."
Graham was the top contender for the superintendent gig at Westlake and was offered the job on June 19. Westlake's superintendent is leaving for a new job at the end of July, so the district was hoping to fill the position before then. But Graham withdrew his name from consideration Monday, June 21.
Parma School Board President Sean Nicklos said Parma did not offer Graham a raise to stay.
Westlake is now looking to hire an interim superintendent for next school year.
During the board meeting, Graham responded to questions about Westlake contract terms and struggling with the size of Parma's student body. He confirmed that he was discussing contract negotiations with Westlake and was offered the job.
He also answered questions about district size being a factor in his decision to apply for the Westlake job.
"I do struggle," he said of the district's size and added that where he came from he knew everyone. "And now we have 11,000 students and I know very few of them."
However, he said leaving would be unfair to Parma.
"I think if I went to Westlake there would be things I would miss about Parma," he said.
Parma Heights resident Tammie Sebastian said that wasn't enough. She voiced concerns at Monday's board meeting, before her three minutes ran out and she was cut off.
"What has changed since he made the statements that he could not be an integral part of such a large district and what is his plan moving forward?" Sebastian said. "Is there a plan or will he just leave at the next offer?"
After her three minutes ran out, Graham told her she could follow up by giving him a call or scheduling a meeting.
"I would just like to say that we the stakeholders in Parma City School District would like to know the answers," Sebastian said of her lingering questions. "In typical Nicklos/Graham fashion I was not afforded that opportunity publicly."
Westlake schools offered their own explanation to parents. Here's a letter sent to residents about Graham's decision.
To Our Westlake Schools Parents,
The Westlake City Schools' top candidate for the superintendent position - Dr. Jeffrey Graham, superintendent of Parma City Schools - withdrew his name from consideration after he and the Westlake Board of Education were unable to agree to contract terms.
The Board offered the superintendent position to Dr. Graham on June 19 following a focused search process and presentations to the community and stakeholder groups. The Board is evaluating its available options as it moves forward and will communicate its next steps to the community in a timely manner.
What are your thoughts on Graham's decision to stay? Do you have any concerns?

Another judge on Wednesday reinstated Witherspoon as Birmingham school superintendent, granting a temporary restraining order against the school board's vote Tuesday to fire the embattled superintendent.
Witherspoon had filed a lawsuit seeking the injunction and reinstatement after going to board offices Wednesday morning and finding he was locked out of his office, said Witherspoon's lawyer, U.W. Clemon.
The school board voted, 5-3, Tuesday to fire Witherspoon and replace him with Samuetta Drew, the system's chief operations officer.
Fred Bolling, an attorney for the board, told Brown today the restraining order issued Wednesday was flawed because the superintendent serves at the pleasure of the board. The firing, he said, could have been appealed to the state superintendent. "It's frivolous on its face," Bolling said of the order.
Clemon, said the board was required to give Witherspoon 60 days notice to fire him. Clemon said he plans to subpoena Board President Edward Maddox and Drew, who was appointed interim superintendent.
Brown suggested Witherspoon's suit be consolidated with a suit filed today by Attorney General Luther Strange.
Brown said the proceedings will be free of politics. "This is a fact finding mission," Brown said. "It's certainly not political."

Former GOP Florida Gov. Jeb Bush set off the latest Republican immigration controversy, stating on Fox News that illegal immigration is often "an act of love," more than a crime, as many undocumented workers are here merely out of a desire to better their families.
"If they want a better life so bad, why don't they rise up and fix their own cess pool," retorted Jim Walker, a Republican candidate for the Michigan House, responding to a Facebook post about Bush's comments.
The sniping from national voices was only slightly less fierce. Radio talker Laura Ingraham asserted that bank robbers might be doing it out of love as well. Former Florida GOP Congressman Allen West proclaimed his former governor a good example for why conservatives might start a third party. And conservative Twitter goddess Michelle Malkin created the #CancelJebBush hashtag.
What got into Jeb?
It seems all those Cubans fleeing Castro to come to his home state without the explicit written permission of two governments has messed with his head and made him think people who don't have freedom and opportunity at home naturally run away and find somewhere that might give it to them.
So what kind of national identity do you end up with when you let people just show up un-invited?
(Hint: The Wampanoag Tribe of early 17th century Massachusetts also did a horrible job of securing their border.)
Despite what is often claimed, today's uninvited immigrants are not deadbeats draining the welfare state. More than 8 million of the approximately 12-plus million have otherwise legal American jobs. Many if not most of the rest are the families of this enormous workforce, which is nearly large enough to fill every job in Florida.
"Immigration and the Welfare State," a report from the free-market Cato Institute, shows immigrants have higher rates of employment participation than the native-born, and male "undocumented" residents have the highest labor force participation rate of all.
Of course, a large number are Hispanic.
"If you have Hispanics in your district, they're already voting against you," says strident conservative scribbler Ann Coulter.
Following this logic earned Mitt Romney just 27 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012 - the worst GOP showing in 16 years.
Two Presidential elections earlier, George W. Bush, using his brother's songbook despite the handicap of his fellow conservatives often shrieking a different tune, racked up 40 percent of Hispanics. In his final election as Texas governor - a state where 38 percent identify as Hispanic - he got 40 percent of the Hispanic vote. His successor, Rick Perry, stuck with the reasonable rhetoric regarding illegal immigration and got 38 percent in his 2010 re-election.
But that's Texas: Florida's population is 23 percent Hispanic. In 2010, Republican Marco Rubio, from Florida's enormous Cuban population, snagged 55 percent of the Hispanic vote on his way to the U.S. Senate.
Florida's different: Cuban exiles have mostly not been expected to "fix their own cess pool." We endorse their "illegal" immigration. An otherwise illegal "border violation" is retroactively legitimized if a Cuban exile is lucky and/or clever enough to sneak past our perimeter security and plant their feet on U.S. soil. But we don't let them in if caught at sea.
Though they both often arrive the same way, and work their tails off every bit as much, Cuban "illegals" are treated much differently than other Hispanics - particularly by conservatives. It shows at the polls.
Perhaps the former Florida governor knows his party can expect Hispanic support if conservatives start accusing the undocumented workers of love rather than lawbreaking.

Today I'll fold up the tarps and towels we fashioned into vomit-safe islands around the house last week. I'll put away loads of clean laundry, and wipe down counter tops and door handles with disinfectant. I'll empty the fridge of take-out left-overs from last week, write up a meal plan and pick up a new propane tank for the grill. I'll sort through the shoe bin by the back door and pair up the mates, find every flip's flop amidst the jumble.
And I'll get out my calendar and plan another week in the life of the Cobb family.
This time with bold-faced, two-times-the-point-sized font asterisks for the unexpected.
A perfectionist forgets about the asterisks as she plans and dreams her children's perfect summer. She forgets that kids wake up grumpy some mornings, or sick in the middle of some nights. She forgets they'll start thinking syrup tastes like dirt on pancakes-for-dinner-night or that they'll be too distracted by the dinosaur bones they find in the garden to concentrate on digging holes and watering plants or that a three-year-old bandit will have swiped the carefully-placed tampons and recital tickets from Mom's purse at the exact wrong moments.
A perfectionist overlooks the reality that her best laid plans - made in the names of her children - will sometimes change dramatically with the whims of their natural unpredictability. She forgets or hasn't learned yet to be okay with this, to take it in her stride, instead startling awake in the early morning hours to the cacophony of broken promises and failure drumming in her ears.
She reaches for her husband, who has been reached for in this same pounding moment a hundred times, and he smooths his brown warmth back around her, the same sweet brown warmth every time like molasses on an anxious, frozen pat of butter on a biscuit, and he melts her, reminding her that failure was never born of such heartfelt trying.
He reminds her that love made the plans, and love in return remembers nothing of their brokenness. That asterisks are simply the stuff of real life.

Oswego, NY -- Oswego police said a city man has been charged with selling marijuana for the second time in three months.
Mark D. Mannino, 28, of 164 E. Bridge St., lower rear apartment, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fifth-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
In June Oswego police began investigating reported sales of marijuana happening in public areas near East Bridge Street and East 9th Street in the city of Oswego.
Officers executed a search warrant on June 26 at Mannino's home and seized about 89 grams of marijuana, police said. Mannino was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana.
After seizing the marijuana and charging him, however, police said they continued to receive reports that Mannino was selling marijuana near the intersection of East Bridge and East 9th streets.
Officers renewed their investigation and again arrested Mannino at his home on Tuesday after finding him in possession of 22 bags of marijuana weighing about 33 grams, police said.
Police said Mannino was also found with an illegal pair of Chuka Sticks.
Mannino was arraigned in Oswego City Court and remanded to the Oswego County jail without bail.
Further charges and arrests are possible and the investigation is continuing, police said.

Tickets to U2's Sept. 24 concert at Giants Stadium sold out quickly when they went on sale today, so a second show, on Sept. 25, has been added. Tickets, priced from $33 to $253, go on sale at 10 a.m. April 6. Call (800) 745-3000 or visit livenation.com.
According to concert promotion company Live Nation, more than 82,000 tickets were sold for the Sept. 24 show. The venue normally holds significantly fewer people for concerts, but the tour's in-the-round staging makes more seats available.
Giant Stadium's attendance record is 82,948, set when Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass there, in 1995.
The band Muse will open both shows.

Sounds truly "cracking", yet the videos so far aren't very convincing.
Think I missed this in last Wednesday but new Grinder detailed are afoot.
Scary stuff
What does High Voltage have up its sleeve?
Nintendo Power has gained some interesting new details on The Grinder, the next Wii FPS from developer High Voltage. Perhaps the most exciting tidbit of info being that the game will now support MotionPlus, which is a big... erm... plus.
Similar to Valve's popular Left 4 Dead series, you take control of a bunch of characters each widely differing in their characteristics. The line-up will include a Mexican bounty hunter called Hector, a doctor (cleverly named Doc), a Japanese assassin named Miko, and AJ, the only survivor of a slasher attack on her student social group.
The Grinder will also feature two-player support in the form of a co-op mode which can be played either locally or online.
Sounds cracking to us, hopefully this can be the Left 4 Dead of the Wii.
heres the link officialnintendomagazine.co.uk
Sounds truly "cracking", yet the videos so far aren't very convincing.
Spoiler Alert!WiiFriendCode: 7154-9562-3568-1393
Console Nickname: Lebowski
Grinder is looking pretty decent, and as great as L4D/L4D2 are, this game hopefully won't be entirely similar.
I'm hoping that the most common thing is the 4 player stuff, and I'm hoping the finished product turns out a bit better than the Conduit did.

Racing ducks go fast
If you showed up 10 minutes late to Sundays Great Kitsap Duck Race, you were quack out of luck.
A combination of a rising tide and a strong incoming breeze moved the flotilla of nearly 24,000 sunglasses-sporting rubber ducks from their cage on the Hood Canal Oyster Co.s boat to the finish tube in a record five minutes.
It went really well thats the important part, said Ken Burdette, chairman of this years race for the Rotary Club of Silverdale.
None of the seven randomly picked ducks crossed the finish line first to make their adopted parents instant millionaires, but Michelle Hart of Bremerton did become the owner of a new Toyota Tacoma Truck courtesy of lead sponsor Heartland Toyota when her blue-billed duck was the first to cross the finish line.
This years race set an even more important record as Rotarians nearly ran out of ducks with nearly 23,700 of the available 24,000 adopted.
This is the closest weve come to actually selling them all, said Rotarian Scott Slocum. Were all very pleased with this. This is outstanding.

|[Towertalk] Roof Top Tower Users?

Javier, Where are you located? Have you bought your roof tower yet? I have a Comit CR-45 that I am going to be selling that is new in the box. Thanks, Joe Joseph D. Mowery, AG4BW -----Original Message----- From: Javier Campos [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 1:27 PM To: email@example.com Subject: [Towertalk] Roof Top Tower Users? I am on the verge of buying a roof top tower Glen Martin RT-936 or Create CR-45/CR-30 for use on a peaked roof. My particular "installation" that I am trying to nail down is one of the following; Installation Plan #1: Force 12 C4E Cushcraft D4 (forr 2nd station SO2R) Tailtwister Rotor OR Installation Plan #2 M2 KT-36XA Cushcraft D4 (For 2nd station SO2R) Tailtwister Rotor or Yaesu G800 Maximum Roof Height is at 25 feet, plus the tower height and 10-15' mast. Overall height will be in the 40-45ft range. The roof tower WILL BE GUYED AT ALL 4 LEGS (Kevlar rope etc) once it is all up. (underneath, the rafters will be reinforced, 2x4, 2x6's etc..) What I want to know is "how did people get the antennas up onto the mast, roof top tower etc?" Did you climb the roof top tower and "hoist" antennas up with some Pully/Gin Pole system (more so for the beams, C4E or M2 KT36XA) Some roof top tower vendors have suggested anchoring two legs onto the roof then leaning it over on its side, installing everything and then raising it all back up. That sounds like a lot of weight to try and get vertical on a peaked roof, let alone when it all comes to a sudden stop on the roof once the other two legs reach the final resting spot. Any past experience, suggestions, comments or pictures of roof top tower installations would be appreciated. Thanks for responding.

The Sept. 25 death of a North Syracuse woman is now being investigated as a homicide, the village's police chief said today.
Janet Anne Ross, 53, was found dead by her sister in Ross' Wood Wind Gardens apartment at 460 S. Main St. The Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office determined Sept. 26 that the death was a homicide, but North Syracuse police stopped short making that determination at the time.
A second meeting between investigators and members of the medical examiner's office about a month ago prompted the department to categorize the death as a homicide, Chief Tom Connelly said.
The meeting discussed facts the investigation had uncovered, Connelly said. He declined to discuss details.
"There's been a lot of leads in the case," Connelly said, but wouldn't say if police had any suspects.

Cover-up claims force out US Orthodox Church head
July 21, 2012, 12:05 am TWN
GARDEN CITY, New York -- The leader of the Orthodox Church in America has resigned and been replaced amid questions about whether he failed to report to church officials or law enforcement an allegation of a rape by a priest and other sexual-misconduct claims.
The church issued a statement saying Metropolitan Jonah, the archbishop of Washington, submitted his resignation in a letter on July 6. The letter from Jonah noted the resignation had come at the request of the Holy Synod of Bishops. Jonah did not refer to the rape allegation in his letter.
Part of the letter to the bishops said he begged "forgiveness for however I have offended you, and for whatever difficulties have arisen from my own inadequacies and mistakes in judgment."
The church, based in Syosset, on Monday issued a three-page statement detailing Jonah's four-year tenure as its leader. It said Jonah had failed to report a 2010 rape allegation involving an unidentified priest to authorities when he learned of it last February.
There are approximately 80,000 Orthodox Church in America members in more than 800 parishes and institutions in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Hurley, Wis. (NNCNOW.com) -- The Army Corps of Engineers has told the Wisconsin DNR that they are not able to work with the agency on an Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Gogebic Taconite mine at this time.
According to a letter sent to the DNR, the Army Corps says at this time they must decline the request to jointly develop an Environmental impact statement due to differences between state and federal environmental review requirements that likely would apply to the proposed project.
The letter also states they do not have enough information about the project.
DNR spokesperson Ann Coakley says they still hope to work with the agency on the project in the future.
"That doesn't mean we can't work together on all kinds of other things such as sculpting the project and deciding what kind of environmental data we need to do our respective environmental impact statements so we will continue to collaborate with the corps of engineers like we have all along," said Coakley.
Coakley says, at this point the timeline to put together an environmental impact statement is unpredictable.

An exquisite site to behold, for sure, but oh the parking!
The lot is small and nearly always full during the holidays. If you're not lucky enough a find a spot, there's a quarter-mile uphill hike from the overflow parking to the mansion's entrance, often in the rain.
The mansion is taking care of that problem by offering free shuttle service from the Sunset Transit Center on Saturdays and Sundays beginning this weekend, and daily from Dec. 19 through Jan. 3. The shuttle will drop off visitors at the mansion's entrance.
The theme of this year's decorations is 150 years of Christmas traditions in honor of Oregon's sesquicentennial. Each decorated room will illustrate a different Christmas tradition.
Every year, more than 15,000 people visit the mansion during the holidays, accounting for one-third of yearly revenue. But last year's snowstorm hurt the season's ticket receipts when the mansion had to close for 10 days.
Executive Director Marta Bones hopes the mansion and its guests fare better with the weather this year.
Pittock Mansion is at 3229 N.W. Pittock Drive. It is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily through Jan. 3. It will be closed today, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Shuttle service will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. hourly from the transit center, with return shuttles leaving hourly from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, $5 for ages 6 through 18; kids younger than 5 admitted free. Details: www.pittockmansion.org or 503-823-3623.

I can grow it, though. Pretty successfully. I tend to move plants willy-nilly, not really thinking about where they'll look best or do best. Most of the time, it ends up OK. This was one of those times. At least in terms of looks. Exposure not so much. The place I choose is sunny with good drainage, a situation that should make Salvia guaranitica happy enough as long as it gets a little supplemental water, which it does. The problem is I ignored the increasingly thick branches of the Japanese maple nearby, the crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia 'Arapaho') right overhead, the Rhus 'Tiger Eye' pushing over from the right side and the Abelia 'Kaleidoscope' trying to smother it.
Even so, my salvia, which has an inordinate amount of common names (giant blue sage, anise sage, blue anise sage, hummingbird sage, Brazilian sage), fought it's way into the sun. The plant is definitely not as bushy as it would be in more sun. The three or four stems it puts up are tall, about 6 feet, and floppy, but held up by those other plants I mentioned. But the flowers are such an intensely true blue, darker than the sky even on a perfect summer day, that it has become the focal point of the bed. The bees, hover flies and hummingbirds can't get enough of those blue flowers. My final argument in favor of S. guaranitica is its hardiness; though labeled Zone 8, last two tough winters have not slowed it down one bit.
My next favorite salvia is S. patens, which is smaller and puts out flowers a little lighter than S. guaranitica. However, it's never made it through a winter for me, so I don't bother anymore.
Two varieties of S. guaranitica worth finding space for are 'Argentine Skies,' with paler blue blooms; and 'Black and Blue' with incredible cobalt blue flowers and black stems and calyxes (the cup holding the petals).

get your sats up to at least 1350-1400, take a practice ACT(who knows, you may do better) and keep the gpa at about the 3.8-4.0 unweighted and I'd say you would be pretty safe, but I'm no authority.

You certainly can apply to all the UC schools with one application and get your safeties out of the way. As far as UVa, UNC and some of your other choices, be aware that they are true stretch schools for you because your SATs are in the lower quarter and you are out of state. All of the schools you mentioned are hard to get in even with stellar stats. Without SAT2s and AP scores, it's hard to tell where you stand.
As far as your ECs go, it's not that you need more. Alaundry list will not help you. Try to get some depth in there and develop one of your interests so that it becomes a meaningful activity. Colleges really don't care to see long lists of activities. They look to see how much you put into what you do and how original, meaningful, etc it is. That can become the all mighty hook, so to speak. Being from California, might spark some geographic interest too since the schools you are listing are east coast. But with scores and grades at your current range, I suggest you look at Ohio University,University of Maryland, University of Delaware, University of Connecticut,George Washington, University of Richmond, College of Charlston and schools in that range. All excellent schools but with a wider SAT range. There are ever so many others. My friend's daughter did not get into UNC Chapel Hill or UVa with stats similar to yours but did get into University of Georgia, Ohio State, and University of MD. Her older sister had slightly higher stats and did not get into UVa or Chapel Hill either and they are legacies, though out of state. Just to give you some idea of the competitiveness of admissions at those two schools. Good luck to you.

The Wallabies haven't held the Bledisloe Cup since 2003 and a former Australian test player says it could be another decade before they capture it again.
Australia take on the All Blacks at Eden Park on Saturday night, where they haven't won since 1986, needing a victory to keep their Bledisloe Cup hopes alive after a 27-19 defeat last weekend.
Former Wallaby first-five Mark Ella doesn't only lack confidence in the side ahead of this week's encounter but also predicts a lean decade for the two-time World Champions.
"We haven't won the Bledisloe Cup for 10 years - and I think it's going to be another 10 years before we get there," Ella said at a speaking engagement this week.
"Rugby to me has been terrific, which makes me cringe a little bit when I watch the current crop," the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Ella played 10 tests against the All Blacks from 1980 to 1984, winning on four occasions, and was an integral part in Australia retaining the famous trans-tasman trophy with a 2-1 series victory in 1980.
Since handing over the Bledisloe Cup at Eden Park in 2003, the Wallabies have played the All Blacks 26 times winning just six tests.
The last time they beat the All Blacks on New Zealand soil was at Dunedin in 2001.
"A lot of people in rugby will say that rugby is in crisis - we're not in crisis, we're just having a bad time," Ella said.
"It's almost like the depression. It's been for three or four years since we've been in depression and we need to get out of it."

Ceremonial groundbreaking marked the beginning of a $3 million Chase Park construction project Saturday. The project will create a gateway to the park in the south east corner of the property, rebuild the current playground so that it is ADA compliant and make extensive improvements to the interior of the fieldhouse.
Patricia Martinelli, Membership Coordinator of the Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce said the beginning of construction, expected next week, marks a major milestone in a four year effort by the community. "The one thing about Chase is that everything is handicap accessible, including a theater, a pool and now the play lot," Martinelli said.
The playground plan calls for the removal of the current wood chips and their replacement with a material appropriate for children with limited mobility. Two separate areas will be constructed, one for older children and one with play sets appropriate for younger children.
Along Clark Street and Leland Ave a brick courtyard and gateway will mark a new center for the community. Paving bricks are being sold to help sponsor the work.
The community raised $1 million in a period of about 30 months, according to Martinelli. Matching funds were found through efforts by State Representative Greg Harris, State Senator Heather Steans and Alderman Eugene Schulter.
Harris said the state is providing about $400,000 through the state capital improvement budget. Schulter found $300,000 for the improvements through Tax Incremental Financing funds and also found $50,000 for the park gateway.
