CAMDEN — A city man was arrested Tuesday for the second time this month at the same corner, only with harder drugs, police said.
Tyreece R. Poole, 26, allegedly had 22 small bags of crack cocaine and 45 of marijuana when detained at the corner of 34th and Federal streets.
Camden County police officers Michael Fountas and Joseph Olivo were on directed patrol in East Camden as part of a Neighborhood Response Team addressing quality of life issues, police said, when they came upon Poole around 2 p.m.
They reported seeing him conduct two hand-to-hand drug deals in front of a grocery store at the corner. After the second deal, Fountas stopped Poole behind the store, police said.
There, the officers said they found the contraband. Poole was charged with possession of controlled dangerous substances (CDS), possession with intent to distribute and possession within 1,000 feet of a school.
He was committed to Camden County Jail in default of $85,000 bail, cash or bond. Poole was also issued a Drug Offender Restraining Order (DORO), which prohibits him from returning to the area in which he was arrested.
Poole was arrested Nov. 6 at the same corner and charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana.

Oswego, NY -- The Palermo man who has been granted a new trial by the state Supreme Court Appellate Division Fourth Department was released from prison Monday.
Chester Warren, 80, was being held in the Cayuga Correctional Facility in Moravia after a conviction on sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child charges. The appeals court recently ruled a new trial is warranted because Oswego County Court Judge Walter W. Hafner should have recused himself from presiding over Warren's trial.
Warren was found guilty in April 2011 of two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He was convicted of inappropriately touching a 7-year-old girl, showing a book with sexual images to two 7-year-old girls and showing a graphic video to a 7-year-old girl. All the incidents occurred in summer 2009, police said.
He was sentenced to four years in state prison. Fifth Judicial District Administrative Justice James Tormey III, in Syracuse, will assign the case to a new judge.

NASA releases Earth photo from 1450 million km away
- From: AAP
- July 24, 2013
EARTH appears as an insignificant-looking pale blue dot below Saturn's majestic rings in a breathtaking new image from the Cassini spacecraft.
The picture was captured on July 19 by the probe's wide-angle camera from a distance of 1448 million km. Magnifying the image five times reveals not only the Earth but also the moon, a fainter smudge to the right of the planet.
"We may not be able to see individual continents or people in this portrait of Earth but this pale blue dot is a succinct summary of who we were on July 19," said Dr Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at the American space agency NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, US.
"Cassini's picture reminds us how tiny our home planet is in the vastness of space but also testifies to the ingenuity of the citizens of this tiny planet to be able to send a robotic spacecraft so far away from home to take a picture of Earth and study a distant world like Saturn."
It is only the third time the Earth has ever been photographed from the outer Solar System.
Previous pictures were taken by Nasa's Voyager-1 spacecraft in 1990 and Cassini in 2006.
The new image marked the first time people on Earth knew in advance that their planet's portrait was being taken from interplanetary distances.
NASA invited members of the public to acknowledge the occasion by either finding Saturn in their part of the sky and waving or simply smiling and celebrating.
At least 20,000 people participated in the event.
Such pictures are rare because seen from so far away Earth is very close to the bright Sun.
Looking directly at the Sun can damage sensitive camera sensors, just as it can the retina of the eye.
But on July 19, the Sun had moved behind Saturn from Cassini's standpoint, allowing the probe to capture the image safely.
The image was taken using a combination of red, green and blue lens filters to create a natural colour view.

Fantastic! I blinked, can we take it again?
Ben L of Pale Blue Dot Posted at 2:02 PM July 24, 2013
Urge people to read Carl Sagan's take on 'the Pale Blue dot'. At the request of Sagan, Voyager 1 had taken a happy snap of Earth 6 billion Kms away in 1990, that far away we were hardly a dot, barely a pixel. Sagan's views are somewhat humbling, depressing and uplifting at the sametime
Buzz Aldie Posted at 1:46 PM July 24, 2013
Its a fake! The earth cannot look that big from saturn given Saturn looks much smaller from the earth. Does that mean the cassini mission is also fake? Follows on from the fake moon landings...

Thanks to the advent of dual-plane processors in routers and switches, and the use of multiple ARM or MIPS cores in single-chip wireless designs, multicore devices now are offered at prices cheap enough for many embedded applications in automotive, medical, industrial, and military-aerospace applications. But before designers begin a stampede to force-fit an Intel i7 into a process-control monitor where it doesn't belong, developers need to think long and hard about what the multicore attribute means in this environment.
Embedded applications have space, power, and cost constraints that place two distinct types of restrictions on multicore architectures. On the hardware front, highly specific processor tasks may mean that throwing a traditional symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) architecture at a problem may not give the designer the ultimate bang for the buck.
On the software front, developers need to examine how best to partition required tasks across multiple processors in a chip. When the division of labor in a microprocessor is symmetrical, software developers merely need to look at efficient multi-threading, task management, instruction parallelization, and task virtualization. But when a single chip is parceled into asymmetric modules, software also must manage such tasks as on-chip communication control, in-stream packet processing, inline and offline encryption, and look-aside specialized tasks such as TCP offloads.
In short, it is very easy for a multicore device designed for embedded efficiency to require more complex software, and offer greater hardware specialization, than a multicore device designed for the IT world. Given the tighter cost constraints in many embedded vertical markets, this demands a close look at how embedded processors move to multicore feature sets.
In the client-server world, more cores on a chip means greater processing performance for a specified series of tasks. Certainly, the virtualization of a single processor into multiple task kernels has led to greater complexity for the chips that serve this world, but software developers could look to the SIMD (single-instruction/multiple-date) and MIMD (multiple-instruction/multiple-date) programming models developed in the high-performance computing world as a guide to planning server performance with multicore chips. Only recently have such chips broken the barrier of eight-way processing to offer decent performance gains with 16, 32, or more cores.

The Mount Sinai Children's Center Foundation (CCF) hosted its 26th annual Big Apple Circus benefit in November, raising more than $735,000 to support the Department of Pediatrics at the Kravis Children's Hospital at Mount Sinai.
Over the years, the benefit has raised more than $14.7 million for the Department of Pediatrics. The proceeds have been used to renovate the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and undertake current renovations in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Each year, children who attend the benefit receive a backpack loaded with donated products such as books, DVDs, stuffed animals, and toy trucks. This year, the CCF donated 100 extra backpacks to children living in two Brooklyn communities devastated by Hurricane Sandy, Gerritsen Beach and Sheepshead Bay.

MATTAWAN — The No. 2 executive at MPI Research is leaving the Mattawan testing company to pursue new opportunities.
Bill Harrison, who started with MPI's predecessor company IRDC in 1993, told MPI employees Monday that he was resigning effective April 30.
"I've been thinking about working with a start-up organization," Harrison told the Kalamazoo Gazette. "But I'm looking to stay in the area."
Harrison said he's talking to several small companies involved in the life sciences industry in Southwest Michigan about a new job.
MPI Research, which formed in 1995 after Upjohn Co. heir William U. Parfet bought IRDC, does preclinical testing work for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Harrison, 48, worked for about seven years as director of regulatory affairs before becoming MPI's chief operating officer and president in 2000. Parfet is the company's sole owner and chief executive officer.
MPI Research has experienced some ups and downs in the last couple years.
After announcing in April 2008 a $330 million expansion that would create 3,300 new jobs, the economic crisis of late 2008 forced the company to lay off about 200 of its approximately 1,600-person work force in Mattawan.
The company also delayed plans to move into laboratory space in downtown Kalamazoo that was formerly owned by Pfizer Inc. MPI now expects to begin renovation of those buildings later this year.
And the Gazette reported last week that MPI was ending a joint venture in China, two years after forming it.
Harrison said MPI has "weathered the storm" of the last two years and he is leaving the company in a strong position.
"We're in a good spot," Harrison said. "Business is turning around nicely."
Harrison said MPI recorded its best quarter of new business between January and March in a year and a half.
"We're certainly beginning to see the upswing here," he said.
Parfet, in a statement to the Gazette, said Harrison was important in MPI Research's development.
"Although he will be missed by the entire MPI Research family, we heartily support his desire to pursue new ventures in the local life science community — we have no doubt that he will continue to be an invaluable asset to our community and in his next business enterprise," Parfet said. "If we had statues around here representing the people that made this company great, Bill Harrison would be one of them."
Harrison said the company's management team has the depth to take over once he leaves.
"There won't be a gap when I leave," he said. "That's another reason why it's a good time."

Kudos to the staff and management at Fonda Speedway and especially Mimi Lazzaro and Matt Noles.
Last Saturday's Lou Lazzaro Tribute Night will definitely be among the most memorable events at the track in recent history.
Starting with the meet and greet at Checkers Out Speedway in Johnstown to the final checkers of the night at Fonda Speedway, the night was organized and kept the flow of action moving with few delays. A plus for the fans, especially when the temperatures dropped later in the evening.
Racing action
Several drivers who took part in the meet-and-greet at Checkers Out Speedway also jumped behind the wheel of go-karts at the facility and put on a great show for the fans.
One thing for sure is that when they strap on their helmets, they are ready to race and battle each other, no matter what they are driving.
A little bumping, some broad sliding and three-wide racing highlighted the 50-lap feature won by Craig Hanson, who also picked up the modified feature win on Friday night at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park.
Unfortunately, Hanson's luck changed during Saturday night's 44-lap modified feature at Fonda Speedway as his modified was destroyed in a head-on crash with Alan Barker on the frontstretch.
Matt DeLorenzo's run to the checkers in the Lazzaro Memorial was nothing less than spectacular.
Elmo Reckner built a half-track advantage, but as the race wore on, the field closed in with DeLorenzo catching up to and passing Reckner in the final laps.
It was also good to see veteran Alton Palmer battling in the lead pack Saturday.
Two weeks ago, Palmer ended up on his roof in turn four after launching off the front end of Darwin Greene's modified.
Danny Varin kept fans on the edge of their seats during the main event with his battle with Tony Pepicelli, Josh Hohenforst and later with Matty D.
It looked line Danny was heading to a runner-up finish, but a slip on the last lap opened the door for his father, Bobby, to get past and take the second spot.
When Danny pulled his car into Victory Lane for the post-race ceremonies, a cloud of steam rolled out from under the hood as a result of contact with the wall on the final lap.
All in all, a total of 119 cars, not counting the vintage racers, packed the pits Saturday night (38 modifieds, 28 602 limited sportsman, 16 sportsman, 14 pro stocks, 16 street stocks and nine UMP modifieds).
Next, the speedway will pay tribute to veteran modified driver Dave Lape on June 6 with twin 22-lap features.
Change at Glen Ridge
In a move to help bolster the weekly pro stock car count at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park, the management has announced an option for the drivers.
Starting Friday night, pro stocks running an open-competition engine can run any fuel and must weigh 3,100 pounds. Pro stocks running crate engines must run VP98 fuel and weigh 2,900 pounds.

Volunteers Sought to Pitch in at Carrizo Plain National Monument on National Public Lands Day, Saturday, Sept. 26
Volunteers at the Bureau of Land Management's Carrizo Plain National Monument will resurface trails and do other work near Soda Lake as area residents join the largest annual coast-to-coast, single-day volunteer restoration effort for America's public lands on Sept. 26.
"This is the Carrizo Plain National Monuments fourth annual National Public Lands Day and we have grown every year. We are looking forward to having many volunteers from the surrounding communities to help us make our local public lands that much better," said Ryan Cooper, BLM recreation planner and event coordinator.
The festivities will start at 9 a.m. at the Soda Lake overlook. In addition to resurfacing trails, volunteers will install a new kiosk, relocate an interpretive sign, replace the parking lot perimeter and do general cleanup. Friends of the Carrizo will provide lunch. For more information, contact Cooper at (661) 369-2836.
"National Public Lands Day has grown dramatically since beginning in 1994," said Robb Hampton, program director of the annual event. "That first year we had 700 volunteers at a handful of public land sites. This year we're expecting more than 130,000 volunteers at about 2,000 locations in all 50 states. We want all of our volunteers to have fun in the outdoors while performing important service to their country and community."
National Public Lands Day is now the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to enhance the public lands that all Americans enjoy. In 2008, 120,000 volunteers built trails and bridges, removed trash and planted over 1.6 million trees at sites throughout the country. This year's celebration will bring together more volunteers at a larger number of sites to make the 16th National Public Lands Day the most successful yet.

DAYTON, OH – The story was all but written. A tie ballgame broken up with a ninth-inning home run, setting the stage for the West Michigan Whitecaps to pull off a dramatic late victory.
The only problem was that the Dayton Dragons never read the script.
After Curt Casali's late home run gave the Whitecaps a one-run lead in the ninth inning, the Dayton Dragons rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth to walk off with a 3-2 victory on Friday night at Fifth Third Field.
West Michigan (0-2) now heads into Saturday night's contest in need of a victory to avoid a season-opening sweep in Dayton (2-0). The Whitecaps will return to West Michigan for their home-opener on Monday night against the Bowling Green Hot Rods.
Friday's ballgame was tied at 1-1 for most of the night. After two quick outs in the top of the ninth, Casali blasted the first pitch he saw over the fence in left field to give the 'Caps a 2-1 lead.
Reliever Dan Bennett immediately sprang up in the Whitecaps' bullpen to ready for a save opportunity. In 13 appearances with West Michigan in 2011, the Florida State product had allowed just one run and posted a sparkling 0.52 ERA.
On Friday, though, he got into trouble right away. After issuing a leadoff walk to Juan Silva, he gave up a bouncing ball single to Steve Selsky that put men at the corners. Juan Perez followed with a base hit through the right side of the infield that tied the score at 2-2.
Perez ended up at second base after right fielder Steven Moya gunned down Selsky attempting to advance from first to third.
That set the stage for Nick O'Shea to deliver the decisive blow, a line drive into center field that bounced once before reaching Chad Wright. The center fielder's throw home bounced twice before it reached the catcher Casali, who grabbed the ball and lunged to his left a split second after Perez slid home with the game-winning run.
Bennett (0-1) was charged with both the loss and the blown save, while Dayton's Jimmy Moran (1-0), who was in line for the loss heading into the bottom of the ninth, escaped with a victory.
The Whitecaps wrap up their season-opening series in Dayton with a 7 p.m. contest on Saturday night. LHP Kyle Ryan is scheduled to take the hill for West Michigan against LHP Tanner Robles of the Dragons.
The home-opener at Fifth Third Ballpark will take place on Monday, April 9, with a 6 p.m. first pitch against the Bowling Green Hot Rods. Gates will open at 4 p.m. and the first 1,000 fans will receive a Micro Fleece Winter Hat presented by the Fifth Third Riverbank Run, while the ballgame will be followed by a spectacular fireworks show. Group and individual tickets can be reserved by calling the Whitecaps front office at 616-784-4131 or visiting www.whitecapsbaseball.com.

MCC kept it in the family.
Neil Hayhurst, the assistant Tiger men's basketball coach for the past three years, has been named Marshalltown Community College's new athletic director, the school announced Monday.
Hayhurst, who was also hired as the Dean of Students, has also been MCC's director of student housing and an instructor of psychology and physical education since 2005.
Hayhurst succeeds Terri Craft. Jim Merritt, announced as Craft's successor July 21, recently decided to remain the director of the Career and Employment Center and forego the AD role.
Hayhurst said he'll no longer be involved in coaching, though he's "excited to work with all of the sports and athletes. It's a new adventure."
"One responsibility as director of athletics is to have the best coaches on staff - which we have," Hayhurst added. "And fund raising is key to the success of any program."
Hayhurst is also helping with student housing until someone is hired in that department.
A Meriden, Kan., native, Hayhurst was a strong candidate because of his experience with housing and enforcing the student conduct code," said provost Barbara Burrows.
"He has done a stellar job of operating student housing and taken on many duties over the past year to help with some of the new initiatives, such as the Meal membership program and furnishing the Student Activity Center," said Burrows. "Neil has proven himself to be a conscientious, hard-working, caring person and we believe he will do a great job overseeing the athletic department, housing, and enforcing the Student Conduct Code."
Hayhurst noted that the new Student Activity Center wellness equipment will be installed soon, including 15 cardio machines and 25 pieces of weight equipment. He anticipates the first home volleyball match will be played in Babe Harder but is hopeful the new facility will be ready for use in a few weeks.
Hayhurst is a Peru State (Neb.) alum. He completed his Master's in Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies in 2005 at Iowa State University.

Like many Clevelanders, I sorely miss my favorite Hough Bakery products. Several years ago, some of the Hough recipes were published. I have the mushroom pie recipe (and it is great!). Can you find more? I'd love the chocolate cupcakes with fudge frosting recipe, or the hot-cross buns, modernistic cookies, the basic white bread and, of course, the white birthday cake frosting. I do have a few Hough recipes from 1991. In good faith, I'll give you Hough's mushroom pie recipe. -- Joan Hudson, Chagrin Falls
A tip of the baker's cap to Joan for sharing. Joan did say she has modified the original mushroom pie to her family's taste, but basically, it's the original recipe.
If anyone out there has any other Hough recipes, will you share them with us? Send them to me and I'll make sure Joan and the rest of us have the recipes for our own family dinners. She also sent Hough's fluffy butter frosting recipe, but I'm holding that as a reward for anyone who shares their recipes with us!
Mushroom Pie
Makes 6 to 8 servings
1 pound fresh white button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon flour
liquid from sauteing mushrooms
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash pepper or nutmeg
8-inch double pie crust
Cook's note: Half-and-half can be substituted with heavy cream or milk. You can add more or less onion to taste. May be frozen or refrigerated after baking and cooling; defrost in refrigerator and bake in preheated oven until hot.
Preparation: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Saute mushrooms and onion in 2 tablespoons of butter until soft. Remove mixture with slotted spoon and set aside in a dish.
Drain liquid into a 2-cup measure; add enough half-and-half to equal 2 cups, set aside.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pan, stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Slowly add mushroom/cream mixture, stirring constantly until mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper (or nutmeg).
Return mushrooms to pan and mix with sauce.
Line an 8-inch pie pan with bottom crust, pour in mushroom mixture and distribute evenly. Cover with top crust, seal edges, and slit top for steam vents.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.
How do I keep my bottom pie crust from getting soggy when I bake an apple or, for that matter, any fruit pie?

Bruce Rondon and Al Alburquerque.
That's about the extent of the Detroit Tigers' bullpen for 2014, so general manager Dave Dombrowski has some work to do this offseason.
Fortunately for him, there are plenty of options on the relief market, including Joaquin Benoit, who just wrapped up a successful three-year, $16.5 million deal with Detroit, including stepping into the closer's role last season.
CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman checked in with "one unbiased agent and one unbiased GM" to make some predictions on what the top free agents will command on the open market.
The agent Heyman asks suggest Benoit could be line for a two-year, $15 million deal, while the GM says three years, $25 million.
Here are their projections on other free agent relievers:
Joe Nathan — Agent: 2 years, $22M; GM: 3 years, $35M

Dombrowski has made it known he'd like to have an experienced closer in place for next season, and Nathan fits that profile more than any other player.
The 36-year-old Lopez is the top left-handed reliever on the market, something the Tigers could need if Drew Smyly heads to the rotation and the team opts not to tender a contract to Phil Coke.
* According to the agent and GM that Heyman spoke with, they project second baseman Omar Infante to command a three-year deal, ranging from $25-$30 million.* Shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who Detroit is "highly unlikely" to pursue, is projected to get a two-year deal for as much as $20 million.

CHICAGO, Illinois - Former St. Paul's baseball star Jake Peavy is returning to a Major League mound on Saturday. He'll be the starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox when they play the Atlanta Braves at 3:05 p.m. Saturday at U.S. Cellular Field.
Peavy is being reinstated from the disabled list. He hasn't pitched for the White Sox since June 4, when he left an American League game against the Seattle Mariners with a non-displaced rib fracture.
Peavy prepared for his return to the big leagues in a rehabilitation outing in the Southern League on Sunday, pitching five innings for the Birmingham Barons in a 5-1 victory over the Huntsville Stars. Peavy allowed one run on five hits.
Peavy is 6-4 with a 4.30 earned-run average this season. He's pitched 67 innings, given up 63 hits, walked 15 and struck out 66 in 2013.
Peavy, a former Mobile BayBear, won the National League Cy Young Award in 2007 while pitching for the Padres and was an All-Star last season with the White Sox.

It continuously draws samples, and when luminescent levels, which indicate toxin levels, drastically decrease relative to the successive online automatic tests, an alarm is triggered within 5 to 15 minutes. CCB-TOX minimizes false alarms and is easy to use: no calibration is needed and monthly reagent refill cartridges are easy to replace.

Focus. Taurus. Even F150.
Those are proper vehicle names. IS 350C is not, and neither is 740Lix or CLS550 4MATIC.
Those last three appellations might seem perfectly logical and appropriate to the manufacturers' sales and marketing geniuses (or, heaven forbid, the engineers) who named them.
But they make no sense to the people who really matter: Consumers like you and me who have difficulty deciphering, differentiating and remembering the cryptic model designations so commonplace in today's automotive world.
I'm sure there are car buffs who can tell you that a 2000 model-year BMW 323ci is a coupe but a 2001 BMW 325ci is a convertible. Then again, there also are people who can recite the entire Periodic Table of chemical elements.
Unfortunately, those people — the ones who know that the BMW 2002 is a model, not a model year — never seem to be around when you're trying to remember what differentiates a Mercedes-Benz CLS550 coupe from a CL550 coupe.
I started thinking about today's trend toward wacky alphanumeric naming conventions while writing last week's column. The subject was a Lexus IS 350C, which I referred to in captions as an IS350 C. Catching my mistake, I warned my editor and then proceeded to write a column in which I referred to the vehicle as an IS 350 C.
I think.
Regardless of what I called Lexus' gorgeous convertible, I'm still confused about its name … and it's not my fault. Lexus referred to it three different ways on its own websites.
I've seen similar inconsistencies on other manufacturers' official websites and in advertisements. I can't cite them offhand because such mistakes are so common I typically ignore them.
Interestingly, I've never seen Chevrolet misspell Malibu, Impala or Corvette. Nor can I recall the folks at Pontiac even once butchering Bonneville, and you can imagine how easy it would be to screw up that name.
But basic names seem easier to remember and to consistently spell correctly than alphanumeric designations.
There's nothing inherently wrong with alphanumeric names, some of which have become iconic. But for every Fiat 500, it seems, you've got a nondescript Volkswagen Type 1 — the official name of the original Beetle.
Nondescript, however, is probably better than overly descriptive when it comes to automotive nomenclature. The best example of the latter might be Mercedes-Benz pre-1994 naming conventions, which would have been funnier than an Abbott and Costello routine if they weren't so maddening.
Tom and Ray Magliozzi — better known as "Click and Clack" — did a hilarious Car Talk column about the then current Mercedes model designations in 1989. What made it so funny is that what they said was absolutely true.
Simple and elegant will suffice
Mercedes tried to get its naming act together in 1994 by redefining and streamlining what had to have been the most eclectic, erratic and just plain ludicrous naming conventions ever used. In its place, it came up with a seemingly simple yet elegant system in which one to three letters identify the vehicle class and three numbers designate the model's engine size.
A good current example is the Mercedes-Benz C350, which is a C-Class sedan with a 3.5-liter engine.
Lately, however, Mercedes has been slipping back into old habits. The current C250, for example, is a C-Class vehicle, but its engine displaces 1.8, not 2.5 liters.
Does the company think calling it a C180 would make the luxury vehicle seem underpowered? Or is Mercedes suggesting that the turbocharged 1.8-liter engine's 201 horsepower and 229 pounds-feet of torque output are more typical of a 2.5-liter, non-turbocharged engine?
Either way, it's confusing. But alphanumeric naming conventions don't have to be. When manufacturers apply logic and consistency to their model designations, it can tell you a lot about a vehicle.
Audis generally provide a good example of that. The A6 2.0T is a midsize 6-Series luxury sedan with a 2-liter engine. The A6 3.0T is the same class car with a 3-liter engine. If you see the word "quattro" attached to any Audi model, it means that the vehicle has all-wheel drive.
So consistency is as important as logic. Manufacturers don't have to deal with either when they think like parents trying to name a newborn. Mustang… Firebird… Thunderbird. They're simple, evocative and distinctive names that never confused anyone.
Then, again, you have to wonder what some folks were thinking – or smoking – when they came up with Skylark, Bluebird and Paseo.
Obviously using names instead of alphanumerics doesn't ensure that a manufacturer isn't going to mess up. Over the years, Cadillac in official company literature referred to one of its most popular models as Coupe deVille, Coupe DeVille and Coupe de Ville.
So maybe instead of chastising automakers for using cryptic nomenclature, I should be thanking them and simply hope they eventually do it right. Wouldn't that be a real coupé… or coupe… or coup!

MOBILE, Alabama -- The University of South Alabama's presidential search committee will interview a single candidate on Jan. 27 for the presidency.
The 14-member committee made the announcement after its meeting Wednesday.
The candidate was part of the original group of candidates in the first search, and the committee was interested in him at that time, according to Ken Simon, chair of the search committee and vice chair of USA's Board of Trustees.
"The search committee believes that he's highly qualified, and we would be remiss if we did not explore our interest further," Simon said.
On Jan. 27, the candidate will meet with the search committee, then with the Board of Trustees.
"If the committee is satisfied with his qualifications and credentials, they'll have the opportunity to recommend him to the Board of Trustees as a finalist," Simon said.
If that happens, the candidate will then meet the university community in a public forum on Jan. 28 and will have meetings with the university deans, faculty and students, Simon said -- the same process that was set up for the three finalists last fall during the first presidential search.
Simon said the interview shouldn't be interpreted as a sign that the committee was in a rush.
"We want to keep things moving and we want to do our due diligence," he said, "and we are hopeful that if everybody pulls together we can make this happen -- we can get everybody's input and have a full and fair process."
The search committee's first go-round led to three finalists, but one of them, Dr. Arthur J. Ross III, withdrew from the search on Nov. 5, the day before the Board of Trustees had planned to make a decision.
The committee was unable to agree on either of the other two finalists, Sheri Noren Everts, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Illinois State University; and Jerome A. Gilbert, provost and executive vice president, Mississippi State University. The panel announced on Nov. 6 that it would continue the search.
USA's new president will succeed the late President Emeritus Moulton, who retired July 1 after 15 years as president. He died on Sept. 28 after a long battle with brain cancer.
John W. Smith has been the university's acting president since last February. In November, he informed the trustees that he would not be a candidate for the permanent position.
Information about the search process is available at www.southalabama.edu/trustees/presidentialsearch/ and at www.southalabama.edu.

If memory serves, wasn't this the Debit card that Dave Ramsey touted? It still astounds me that anyone listens to this guy.
Yeah that's pretty bad to have rewards vanish overnite like that. Like they say, use 'em or lose 'em.
There is always a risk to hoarding rewards. If they're not taken away outright, they can always be devalued. e.g. what if all those SPG transfer partners went from a 1:1 transfer ratio to 2:1? Suddenly that hoard of Starpoints you have is worth half as much.
That being said, the demise of PerkStreet was thoroughly predictable. Ever since Dodd-Frank revised the interchange fees for debit cards, it has been a matter of time before rewards debit cards became extinct. In the current regulatory climate, the risk at PerkStreet was significantly higher than it was and is with credit-based rewards programs. Regulations can always change, but just as we did with Dodd-Frank we'd have time to see the new laws coming and plan accordingly.
Finally, not only is there always a risk to hoarding rewards points, there is also almost always a reward. Typically, the best redemption values require you to spend larger amounts of points e.g. SPG's 20% bonus when you transfer points in blocks of 20,000. To get the best value for your points, you often have to hoard for a while.
Unsurprisingly, Marketwatch makes no mention of Dodd-Frank, the difference between debit and credit cards for rewards, or the value proposition of saving points for maximum redemption power. Nope, they just go for inflammatory "Poof! Your credit card rewards went up in smoke" / "Never trust rewards programs" linkbait BS.
The main thing I can say about the inherent risk of rewards is this: never think of them as having a fixed cash value. Just because that Membership Rewards point or SkyMile or Starpoint redeems for up to 3 cents today doesn't mean it will do so in the future. Think of them as a foreign currency whose exchange rate can fluctuate. There's nothing wrong with holding on to some of that foreign currency. It just means that sometimes if you can get that Macbook Air for $1400 one place and $1500 plus 15,000 MysteryPesos somewhere else, it might be smarter to save the actual cash now than rely on those 15,000 MPs being worth $100 or more later. That all depends on how confident you are in the stability of MysteryPesos.
Yep and you have to watch the fine print too. For example, I had a Visa card with cash rewards that could be spent on a car purchase. The fine print says that Visa can refuse to honour the rewards if you are 60 days late. And so I was and so "Poof" went the $500+ that I had built up that I would have spent on a down payment. Vapour! I called it legalized theft! Buyer beware and always read the fine print on your reward redemptions.
This explains why a lot of my cash rewards cads have switched to points. So far its one to one, but I wouldnt be surprised now see sudden changes in ratios. Thanks for the heads up. Cashing out all rewards when they are available seems smart.

The Most Rev. Timothy A. McDonnell, bishop of Springfield, will offer a special Mass for the intentions of Pope Benedict XVI on Feb. 28 at 12:10 p.m. in St. Michael's Cathedral, 255 State St., Springfield.
Benedict announced on Feb. 11 that he would step down from his office on Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. Rome time (2 p.m. locally), ending his nearly eight-year tenure. McDonnell has invited diocesan clergy and laity to take part in this liturgy. In addition, the Mass will be available via streaming video through a link on www.iobserve.org
Cardinal Sean O'Malley, of the Boston archdiocese, will be among the U.S. cardinals who will convene in Rome to elect the next pontiff and has therefore withdrawn as a speaker at the upcoming diocesan Catholic Men's Conference on March 9 at Bellamy School in Chicopee.
Cardinal O'Malley expects to be in Rome at that time, either preparing for or participating in the conclave which will elect a new pope.
The Rev. Warren Savage, a diocesan priest who has "done extensive work in the areas of lay ministry formation, youth ministry, social justice, anti-racism, multicultural and diversity training, and cross-cultural ministry in Africa and Central America" will take his place.

Side note: The best deal on PhotoPass is to purchase it before your vacation! Saves you about $60.
Anyway, one of my pals (a Disney regular) was telling me how she always makes a hardcover book when they get back from Disney using an online service like Shutterfly or Picaboo.
Which makes this Living Social deal perfect! For $10 you get a 20 page Classic Customized hardcover photo album from Picaboo. These things regularly run $39.99.
I definitely snagged one so I can have a nice family album of our Disney vacation!
And if you aren't going on vacation this summer, these books are really great to FINALLY do something with all those photos sitting in your albums on your computer.

Arms length city sales
One-third of all housing sales made under assessed value
April 14, 2013
There are bargains to be had if you're looking to buy a house in the city of Dunkirk....
If some properties are selling 50-100% above appraisal, how much money has the city lost over the years in under-assessed properties?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
get the budget and the unions under control it will happen when monkeys fly out of our butt
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
We have seen a steady decline in average selling prices since 2010 and that is symbolic of a dying community. In a healthy environment you couldn't buy a barn for $53,800 but in Dunkirk it gets you a four bedroom home with a two car garage. I would like to know why the declining selling prices are not reflected in the equalization rates that impact our taxes. Real estate values are a product of supply and demand. Dunkirk's supply exceeds demand for good reasons. Chief among them are excessive taxation, lack of job opportunities, loss of industry, deteriorating neighborhoods and a declining quality of life that reflects poor leadership. The city lacks investment in both housing and industry. There can be no progress in Dunkirk until a sincere effort is made to reduce the size and cost of government and that means bringing our unions under control.

Sure buy a house under the assessed value. Then along comes the city assor comes along appraises the house at a higher rate then you wind up paying higher taxes. Next year same things happens. Remember if it is to good to be true it probably is. Nice try Observer.

yeah, get the same taxes no matter the value of the property at time of sale? pure idiocy. it's a corrupt system run by more corrupt incompetent pencil necks who cant work in the private sector because they would get fired.

She is also the executive trustee of the Kaisa Heritage Center, which houses Bahay Chinoy (A Museum of the Chinese in the Philippines Life), a research center, data bank library and photo archives.
A Manileña, multi-awarded Ang See was born in the Chinese enclave of Binondo. We were very poor, she recalled. I was one of 11 children. My father died when my mother was 38. We had to work. I started working when I was in Grade 5.
Ang See (Tessie to friends) attended Chiang Kai Shek College (was later named an outstanding alumna), and took up political science at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City. A member of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, she has become known for her advocacy against crime, especially kidnappings. But she says that Kaisa was not formed to combat crime. The foundation has its own mission and specific objectives.
It started in 1993 with the tragic death of kidnap victim Charlene Sy, 15. Angered, Ang See led a mass protest at the Sy funeral, and later helped mobilize a big protest against criminality held at the Philippine International Convention Center.
She drew a distinction between the things she chooses to do, and the tasks she has to undertake of necessity.
Tapping the potential of the Chinoy (Chinese-Filipino) community, doing something that would make a lot of difference for Philippine society, and contributing to nation-building is something the crusader would like to do or is doing. Its a choice, she said. Anti-crime is something Im forced to do, its not a matter of choice. We work extensively to push reforms in the criminal justice. We work with the police and try to solve the problem. And we support (kidnap) victims who file court cases.
The police, she said, always allow the victim to pay the ransom, 100 percent. But if the victim cooperates with them once he/she is released, this makes the job of the policemen easier. Kaisa works closely with other NGOs like Crusade with Violence, United People Against Crime, and Foundation for Crime Prevention. They have this Court Watch, wherein they follow up cases in support of kidnap victims, encourage them to continue the court case, and help look for good lawyers for them.
Has she received death threats? Ang See shrugs, The kidnapping syndicates are well organized, well funded. They are also (anonymous), while Im open. People see me, hear me, read about me. So Im vulnerable. Anybody is vulnerable. You dont know whether the threat comes from criminal syndicates, or from the police. Yes, the police is itself a tainted institution. But we have to work with the police, as we are the most vocal (group), she pointed out. As for officers with a dubious record, we try to convince the government not to appoint them to Task Force positions.
How successful has the anti-crime, specifically the anti-kidnapping, campaign been?
Its not easy to judge our success, Ang See said. Maybe without our making a lot of noise about kidnapping, the problem would have been much, much worse. Ten long years after formation and we are still here, the problem is still there. Kidnapping is rampant!
There have been 80 death penalty convictions since 1993. What scares Ang See and her group is the fact that kidnapping is not news anymore, unless the victims are prominent, like the children of a congressman.
So people begin to think that kidnapping is a way of life, she observes. They become resigned, and not much effort is made to solve the problem. We dont see sincerity in the governments political will.

or Marietta Tan Subong
Marietta Subong, better known by her stage name Pokwang, (Pokwang, the smart-aleck girl whose wit and humor endeared her to komiks fans .From the comic-stirp of same name created by Vincent Kua Jr. in the 1980's). is a Filipina actress, TV Host, and comedian. She won a competition in ABS-CBN that made her a famous comedian. She is usually known for playing older women/Mother characters.
Pokwang's Story on MMK
How do you laugh when your heart is breaking? And how do you find the strength to make others smile when you can't even cheer yourself up? This Thursday, September 2, join Maalaaala Mo Kaya as it looks at the hidden sorrows under the sunny smile of Pokwang, the winner of Yes Yes Show's "Clown in a Million" contest.
Drama and comedy overlap in this week's episode, directed by Joyce Bernal, and starring Pokwang herself. Starring along with Pokwang are talented actresses Nikki Valdez and Joy Chiong as Pokwang as a child and a teen, respectively, and Gina Pareño and d!ck Israel as Pokwang's parents. Also in this episode are Kenji Marquez, Allan Paule and Ilonah Jean.
Aptly named after a komiks character, new comedienne Pokwang is at the beginning of what looks like a very promising career in comedy, with a prominent role in ABS-CBN's newest daily soap Maid in Heaven and a very identifiable persona as a hilarious "babaeng bakla." But for Marietta "Pokwang" Subong, life was never as funny as she would have wanted. Growing up with a father who had a weakness for drinking, Pokwang watched her mother struggle with the burden of raising 12 children with very limited resources.
Determined to help her family, a teenaged Pokwang decided to leave for Japan to become a dancer. But before she even left, Pokwang crossed paths with Hideyo, a Japanese businessman who became her first boyfriend. How will he change Pokwang's life? And how did her children with Hideyo and her next Japanese boyfriend bring Pokwang the many moments of happiness and heartbreak that sustained and challenged her over the years?
Pokwang is a member of ABS CBN's Star Magic group of entertainers popularly known as the ST Queen of the Philippine Cinema.

The Philippines Chinatown is Binondo District in Manila. It is one of the oldest Chinatowns in Asia. Binondo was established in the 1670s although records show that there are already a Chinese community living here before the Spanish came in the 1570s. Binondo was the center for commerce during the American colonial era mainly because the Chinese were known to be experts in trading and finance. Major roads like Escolta Avenue and Ongpin Street runs through here.

Chinito representing the Philippines
Pinoy veteran bowler Chester King
dished out another sterling performance and teammate Raoul Miranda held his ground to give the Philippines a gold-silver finish in the mens all-events competition in the 20th Asian tenpin bowling championships here.
King added a three-game series of 648 pins to his Asian three-game record of 813 to amass a 24-game total of 5534 (230.58 average) from his singles, doubles, trios and team outings. Miranda, already the singles bronze medalist, accounted for 5444 (226.83) to hold off United Arab Emirates Hussain Al-Suwaidi, who settled for the bronze with 5366 (223.58).
Kings fiery showing gave him his first individual gold after his team up with Miranda and Frederick Ong had earned for the Filipinos their first gold medal in the trio event.

Tshomlee books ticket to Beijing Olympics
The Philippines' flyweight bet Tshomlee Go went through the eye of a needle and survived a pair of sudden-death thrillers to book a ticket to Beijing at the World Olympic
Qualifying Games at the Manchester Evening News (MEN) Arena.
Go, 26, claimed third place in the 49 kilogram division after beating Egypt's Tamer Salah Bayoumi â the 2004 Athens Olympic bronze medalist â in his sixth match of the 48-man, knockout eliminations. It was a grueling grind for the University of Sto. Tomas education graduate who started out like a house on fire in the morning, hacking out a 4-1 decision over Yemen's Akram Ahmed Ahmed Abdullah, and finished with almost an empty gas tank late at night.
Go got a break when he won his second assignment by default as neither Libya's Abdulrouf Mohamed Gerwash nor Iraq's Ahmed Kasim Kadim showed up because of visa problems. Then, he went up against Denmark's Philip Reyes, born in Copenhagen to Filipino migrants. The match went down to the wire and Go advanced via a sudden death kick-off.
Next for Go was Thailand's Chutchawal Khawlaor, the World Cup and Asian champion. In a tight contest, Go pulled off a hairline 2-1 win with a kick to the torso in the last second.
In the semifinals, Go was overwhelmed by Chinese-Taipei's Mu Yen Chu, the 2004 Athens Olympic gold medalist who breezed to a 3-0 lead in the first round and increased the gap to 5-0 before the match was called off on the mandatory seven-point rule at 7-0 in the third.
Go said booking an Olympic ticket here was tougher than making it as the only Filipino survivor at the World Qualifying Games in Paris in 2003. He won the bronze in Paris.

MANILA, Philippines - Filipino shooter
Eric Ang
earned a wildcard berth in the Beijing Olympics this December, according to statement released on Tuesday by Philippine Spors commissioner Joey Mundo, former secretary-general of the Philippine National Shooting Association (PNSA).
"This is good news for the sport of shooting since Ang is the first shooter to make the Olympics after Jethro Dionisio in Athens," Mundo said in an interview.
Ang got his wildcard berth after posting convincing performances in the trap events of two international competitions.
Ang missed the qualifying mark for the Olympics by just a mark during the Asian Shooting Championships in Kuwait last year. And in the pre-Olympics shooting tournament in Beijing held last April 12-20, Ang placed only 24th among 92 participants.
Ang will join other Filipinos who had already earned a ticket to the Beijing Olympics swimmers Miguel Molina, Ryan Arabejo, JB Walsh, Daniel Coakley, and Cristel Simms; divers Shiela Mae Perez at Rexel Ryan Fabriga; taekwondo jins

NORTON SHORES, MI -- The Mona Shores High School robotics team has come a long way in three years.
Since being founded in 2010 and entering into competitions in 2011, the underdog team that goes by Wavelength or simply No. 3572 in competitions has made rapid progress and just barely missed the chance to make it to the National Robotics Competition in April.
The students from Mona Shores had their work cut off for them since they entered the FIRST Robotics Competition State Championship at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti on April 13 as the lowest ranked team in competition.
"We were ranked 60th in the state," said Andrew Basse the coach of Mona Shores robotics team.
All the robots at the event had to face the challenge of picking up and throwing Frisbees into goals, along with completing an alternate ascent up a 90-inch pyramid shaped structure.
Wavelength's robot, which was 30 inches by 26 inches wide and 28 inches tall, was on the short list of robots that were able to complete the task.
"We're one of five teams that could climb the pyramid all the way up," Basse said. "Our robot this year, the kids called it 'Grapple.'"
Team No. 3572's little machine got its moniker based on being such an excellent climber.
"The machine that our kids put together was consistent and did what it was supposed to every time," Basse said.
Mona Shores' robot advanced to the semifinals, where it was beaten by a team of prior world champions. Wavelength had moved up to 28th place by the end of the competition.
Basse was pleased that the team did well enough to be one of two alternates for the national First Robotics Competition in St. Louis, Mo., from April 23 to 29.
"We wound up being a second alternate," Basse said. "So we were depending on the other team not coming up with the funding, but it didn't work out that way."
While there were feelings of disappointment, the Wavelength team as a whole was still proud of how far they have come.
"To be honest with you we're still feeling pretty good," Basse said. "Making it as far as we did is a big accomplishment."
Currently, the team is comprised of 14 students, but there is a smaller core that comes on a regular basis.
"We currently have about eight active students," Basse said. "I call them the diehard kids."
For next year he wants to recruit more members. However, the biggest hurdle the Mona Shores team is facing is limited funding.
"That's always the biggest problem," Basse admitted. "We have just enough to get by."
He said some of the more established and experienced teams they are up against have upwards of 70 members with budgets in the ballpark of $80,000. Plans for fundraising are in the works and Basse hopes to start developing the budget for next school year in the coming weeks.
"My goal for next year is to qualify for nationals without having to wait here and hold our breath at the end," Basse said. "We just have to keep the momentum going."
In the meantime, the Wavelength team has some exciting projects in the works to promote the robotics program.
"We are working on teaming up with the science department to build a quadrotor drone for surveying (and) taking weather readings, as well as a computer controlled camera dolly for the high school broadcasting class," Basse said.

Your family isn't like everyone else's, and your Christmas card shouldn't be either. The way we look at it, Christmas cards are a once-a-year opportunity to share a bit of your family's personality—along with your holiday greetings and good wishes, of course. Creating a card that is unique to your family is all part of the magic. Continue reading
Christmas Letter Inserts
In defense of the Christmas letter
It's the one Christmas card everyone loves to hate. The one with the folded Christmas letter printed on cheesy 8.5″ x 11″ Christmas theme paper, that goes on and on about the son who's a Rhodes scholar or the exotic vacation they took. Well, to take the opposing view, I think Christmas letters can be very fun to get, if done right. Here's how to write a Christmas letter without rubbing everyone the wrong way.
First of all, it doesn't have to be printed on cheesy paper. There are plenty of alternatives these days, from customized cards that let you type your letter right into them, to timeline Christmas cards that let you accompany each part of your story with a photo, to Christmas letter inserts that slip into coordinating creative Christmas cards.
The trick is learning how to write a Christmas letter that's entertaining, not annoying. It's important to choose your words carefully, so as not to appear to be bragging (even if you are). Rather than listing the itinerary from your exotic vacation, for example, you can tell a funny story about something that happened on the trip, which will bring the story to life. Kids' activities or college plans are fine to include, but awards and SAT scores? Not so much.
Photos can be added to illustrate your story—close-ups are best. You can feature members of your family one by one, show highlights of your vacation or events during the year, or simply pick one nice group photo. The key is to give friends and relatives a glimpse of the real family behind the letter. If they know you and love you, they will love to read everything you have to say.

Christmas card stuffing—it's a family affair
Sending Christmas cards can be a lot of work for one person. This year, make it a party and get the whole family involved. Stuffing envelopes and affixing stamps and address labels are jobs even kids can do. Here are some family Christmas ideas that will make it more fun:
- Have your Christmas card list, address labels, cards, stamps and envelopes ready to go
- Make it a festive occasion with some holiday tunes or holiday movies playing
- Break out old holiday photo albums to share with the kids
- Serve hot chocolate for the kids, wine for the grownups
- Use snacks as a reward for finishing a task (sticky fingers and Christmas cards don't mix)
- Be sure to have the correct postage on hand. Most of our cards require one stamp, but we do sell a few that require more postage. If you are using a Christmas letter insert, recipe card insert or extra photos, it's a good idea to weigh your card at the post office before buying stamps, just to be sure (self-adhesive stamps are easiest)
- Self-adhesive Christmas address labels make addressing your cards go twice as fast—and they add a festive touch to your card before it's even opened. Many cards have coordinating address labels designed to match!
Once you've got your Christmas cards and address labels ready to go, read more ideas on addressing Christmas cards on our blog. We'd love to hear more family Christmas ideas from you!
