The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo raised the possibility today of building a levee in New York in the aftermath of major flooding in Lower Manhattan and other parts of the city.
"It is something we're going to have to start thinking about," Mr. Cuomo said. "The construction of this city did not anticipate these kinds of situations. We are only a few feet above sea level. The flooding in downtown Manhattan was really extraordinary and unlike anything I had seen."

For the past two years, in collaboration with various community groups, GReen in Chestnut Hill (aka GRinCH) has been working to bring pedestrian recycling to Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill.
Chestnut Hill has proven to be a community that values recycling. We are the neighborhood that launched Recycle Bank in Philadelphia. Our "recycling diversion rate" – the amount of total refuse that was diverted to recycling – for the period July 1, 2010, to March 31, 2011, was 27.4 percent, as compared to the citywide average for this period of about 18 percent.
GRinCH began by investigating the possibility of having pedestrian recycling cans, identical in style to the current trashcans, placed on the Hill. But there were two major obstacles: new cans are extremely expensive and, more importantly, the City of Philadelphia in the past two years has moved to the "BigBelly" solar-powered trash compactors and recycling units citywide. The city will only service this type of recycling unit.
Then, about a year ago, the Chestnut Hill Business Association received a call from the City's Recycling Department offering Chestnut Hill 15 free BigBelly units (funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the U.S. Department of Energy).
The CHBA contacted GRinCH and suggested that we take it to the Business Improvement District. We met with the BID and then last fall met with representatives of the Chestnut Hill Community Association, BID, CHBA, and the city's Streets Department. Seth Shapiro, president of the BID, suggested that we place a BigBelly unit in front of the Night Kitchen Bakery for the community to see and use.
These are the benefits of using BigBelly recycling units for single-stream recycling of items that presently go into our trash containers on the sidewalk:
They would enable pedestrians on Germantown Avenue to recycle on the go, just as we recycle at our homes.
• They conserve natural resources.
• They are sturdy and practically maintenance free.
• They save the city taxpayer dollars.
They support the city's commitment to increase recycling tonnage, which is demonstrated by Chestnut Hill's strong commitment to recycling at our homes.
• They help create a greener, cleaner Chestnut Hill.
These are the benefits of using BigBelly solar trash compactors:
• They have five times more capacity than regular bins and, therefore, save the city taxpayer dollars by requiring fewer trash collections, lowering truck fuel costs and conserving landfill space.
• They reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (Fewer stinky, gas-guzzling trash trucks on the road = less burning of fossil fuels = less pollution.)
• They are sealed to keep trash and odor in and pests out, unlike the trash bins currently used in Chestnut Hill. Litter is reduced, thereby improving the cleanliness and appearance of our business district.
Another important factor is the cost savings generated by use of the BigBellies. In the current economy, the city is actively seeking ways to reduce operating costs and balance its budget. More than 850 units have been deployed citywide, all funded by grants. Use of the BigBellies saves Philadelphia taxpayers more than $1 million a year.
At the CHCA Board meeting held on February 3, Vice President of Operations Bob Rossman made the following motion: "The Development Review Committee will make recommendations about the location and appearance of 15 BigBelly trash and recycling receptacles in Chestnut Hill (on Germantown Avenue from the 7700 to 8700 blocks). One of the receptacles will be installed temporarily in front of the Night Kitchen Bakery so that community members can see how they look and function." This motion passed unanimously."
After the DRC decided to refer the matter directly to the Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee, GRinCH attended the April and May LUPZ meetings, at which we answered hours of questions.
On May 5, the LUPZ took two votes. The first, which passed overwhelmingly, was to support bringing the 15 BigBelly units to Chestnut Hill. The second vote was whether to place them on the upper Hill or the lower Hill. We recommended the lower Hill as it would be more efficient for the garbage trucks to continue from Germantown and Mt. Airy, which already have the BigBellies, to lower Chestnut Hill.
Finally, GRinCH wanted to make sure that the community felt the same way we do about the BigBellies, so we asked our neighbors and businesses in 19118 to sign a petition in support. We were surprised and thrilled to collect more than 350 resident signatures and obtain the support of many Chestnut Hill businesses, including: 3000 BC Spa, Artisans on the Avenue, Bredenbeck's Bakery, Caleb Meyer Studio, Chestnut Grill, Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop, Chestnut Hill Farmers Market, Chestnut Hill Hotel, Community Audio, Compton Insurance, Delphine Gallery, Drake's Gourmet Foods and Catering, El Quetzal, Fabrics on the Hill, Gravers Lane Gallery, The Herbiary, Janine Salon de Coiffure, Kilian Hardware Co., Laurel Hill Gardens, Life on the Hill, Mango, McNally's Tavern, Metropolitan Bakery, Night Kitchen Bakery, Roller's Express-O, Roller's Restaurant at the Flying Fish, Staples in Chestnut Hill, Tavern on the Hill, Top of the Hill Market and Café, Valley Green Bank, and Weavers Way Co-op.
In addition we have received a letter of support from the principal and Home and School Association of the John S. Jenks Elementary School. More people in the 19118 ZIP code sign the petitions every day.
In 2010 Chestnut Hill was named as one of only 12 "Distinctive Destinations" in the country by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. An important part of the application process was to demonstrate how Chestnut Hill is a "green community" and the steps we are taking to be environmentally conscious. Let Chestnut Hill join Society Hill, Rittenhouse Square, Northern Liberties, Manayunk, Roxborough, Germantown, Mt. Airy, and other neighborhoods with the BigBelly units in an effort to make Philadelphia one of America's greenest cities!

New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party Tuesday alleged that Delhi Police had wrongly implicated eight people in the death of a constable following Sunday violence at India Gate and claimed there was no evidence of their involvement.
"Police has no evidence about these people, whom they have arrested from different places and were protesting peacefully for justice to the gang rape victim," AAP Convenor Kejriwal said.
Police are telling lies and trying to mislead the media and the
common man by saying that AAP worker Manish Sisodia had given the bail amount which is wrong, he alleged, adding police were "trying to implicate these eight innocent youth to suppress this movement using their power".
Terming the death of the constable as "unfortunate", Kejriwal said "whosoever is responsible for his death should be punished. Even if an AAP member is involved, punish him but we will not allow innocent people to be implicated."
He said police were trying to portray that the movement became violent due to the involvement of Swami Ramdev, Gen (retd) V K Singh and members of AAP.
It is an attempt by the police to justify their action of resorting to lathicharge, tear gas shelling and water cannon use on the peaceful protesters.
"There were some rogue element in the demonstration who were pelting stones, empty bottle on police. They can identify them but they have failed to apprehend them who were actually involved in stone-pelting at India Gate," he said.

Well I had one of those creative flashes yesterday and it lead me to a frantic sewing spree!
The leaves are improvisational pieced from teeny tiny scraps of fabric, and layered with batting and backing. I cut each leaf shape by hand with my scissors so no two are exactly the same. The edges are finished with a tight V stitch, this makes them a little jagged and curl up a little just like real leaves.
I am loving these leaf key chains to bits and I'm sewing up a couple more to give as Christmas presents as soon as I have restocked on some essential supplies!
Meanwhile these are listed in the shop

There will be at least one new face in city government in the Lower Valley next year.
That's according to candidate filings with the Yakima County elections office yesterday, Monday.
A combined 15 candidates in Sunnyside, Grandview, Bickleton and Mabton filed to run for office yesterday. That's in addition to a pair of Sunnyside School Board candidates who filed early.
Candidate filings yesterday included business owner Gloria Mendoza, who is seeking the Grandview City Council, Pos. 3, seat now held by Mayor Pro Tem Pam Horner.
In an official statement released last night, Horner announced she would not seek re-election. Instead, Horner said she is mentoring and supporting Mendoza in her election bid.
There's also a new face in Sunnyside City Council elections, as longtime resident Robert Perales officially filed yesterday to seek the Dist. 1 seat now held by Councilwoman Theresa Hancock.
As Granger police chief and Mabton's before that, Perales says he has experience in working with cities. His focus, if elected, is to ensure funding for public safety. He will also stay on as Granger's chief, if elected.
"Recently Sunnyside has made good progress cutting crime rates," says Perales. "It has been my experience that when crime falls, the tendency is to cut officer positions. Do that and crime goes right back up again."
Though he has had legal issues with city government in both Mabton and Granger, Perales says he can bring a new perspective to council. "I'm looking to bring the other side to the table," he says of having law enforcement represented on council.
Perales, seeking his first elected office, added, "People who sit on councils are usually shielded from actual day-to-day operations. There are issues that can be resolved through management and working together."
In other Sunnyside City Council filings yesterday, Deputy Mayor Don Vlieger is seeking re-election to his Dist. 3 seat.
"Four years ago I promised the citizens of Sunnyside that I would do all I could to promote public safety and make Sunnyside safe," Vlieger said in a prepared statement. "In the last three-and-a-half years, I have been the initiator or a major proponent of numerous crime reducing initiatives that have reduced Sunnyside's major crime more than 38 percent over a seven-year average."
Also yesterday, Dean Broersma filed to retain the Sunnyside City Council, Dist. 2, post he was appointed to earlier this year.
"So far it's been an enjoyable challenge," says Broersma. "I certainly learned a great deal about the city and serving the community."
Other filings for Sunnyside offices yesterday included Michelle Perry seeking re-election to her Dist. 2 seat on the Sunnyside School Board.
A fifth generation native of Sunnyside, Perry says much has been accomplished and there is still much work to do in the Sunnyside School District.
She praised progress in the graduation rate at SHS and efforts underway now at the district's middle schools.
"Another thing we've done really well is making a huge improvement with staff and professional development," Perry added. Looking ahead, if re-elected she'd like to see the district be more fiscally responsible and do more to ensure equal opportunities for all students in the district.
One other candidate filing related to Sunnyside was Arnold Martin seeking another term as the Port of Sunnyside's Dist. 1 commissioner.
Elsewhere in Grandview, Ron Grow filed in a bid to retain his Dist. 3 seat on the Port of Grandview Commision. Likewise, Richard Shenyer filed in an effort to keep his Dist. 1 seat on the Grandview port. "It's been a good last year-and-a-half or so and I look forward to hopefully continuing on," said Shenyer.
Also yesterday, Paul Jepson filed in a re-election bid for his Dist. 5 seat on the Grandview School Board. "If re-elected one of my focuses will be on safety," says Jepson. "With the climate out there today, I believe that's definitely a priority."
He also lauded efforts to improve graduation rates at Grandview High School, noting the district has garnered accolades for the progress.
One other candidate filing for Grandview yesterday was incumbent Javier Rodriguez seeking re-election to his Pos. 2 seat on the Grandview City Council.
Mabton & Bickleton
Over in Mabton, 24-year-old Freddie Perales is seeking elected office for the first time, filing yesterday for the Mabton City Council, Pos. 3, seat now held by Mark Gourneau.
"Mabton is at a stage where it's changing for the better and I want to be part of making our community better," says Perales.
His goals, if elected, would be to increase the amount of business in Mabton and to create more activities for youths. "Something to keep people busy so there are not as many taggings," Perales says.
In other Mabton City Council candidate filings yesterday, incumbent Oping Hutson sought to retain her Pos. 1 seat on council.
"We've come a long ways from the last four years and, with another four years with the rest of the council, we're hoping we could go ahead a little bit farther," says Hutson.
Mabton City Councilman Mario Martinez filed as a candidate yesterday in a bid for the mayor's seat now held by Angel Reyna.
Also in local filings for office yesterday was Elsa Sanchez, who is seeking re-election to her Dist. 3 seat on the Mabton School Board.
In addition, Miland Walling filed with Klickitat County to seek the Pos. 1 seat on Bickleton Fire District #2.
Filing for office
Candidate filings for elected office in Yakima and Klickitat counties will continue through this coming Friday.
For more information about running for office in Yakima County, contact the Elections Division at 509-574-1340 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each business day or reach the office via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A group of 17 American retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and Macy's Inc., have signed on to a five-year agreement to help improve safety at garment factories in Bangladesh.
The accord is separate from a legally binding plan finalized earlier this week by more than 70 mostly European companies such as H&M and Zara owner Inditex. U.S. apparel sellers largely avoided the contract.
Instead, they said Wednesday that their coalition would seek inspections at all member-supported factories in Bangladesh within a year. The group promised transparency for the checkup results.
In the next three months, a set of safety standards will be developed, according to the newly formed alliance. The criterion will be in place by October, it said.
By November, the group plans to set up an anonymous worker hotline using mobile technology and administered by a third party.
So far, member companies have provided $42 million for the initiative, with an additional $100 million in loans for plant owners to fortify their facilities and workforce.
Companies are to continue contributing financial support over the next five years, based on how much product they source from Bangladesh. Businesses with more than $250 million of product will pay $1 million a year, compared with the $62,500 a year to be shelled out by retailers making $25 million worth of goods or less in the South Asian country.
The impetus for the safety proposals was the April collapse of the eight-story Rana Plaza factory near Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. More than 1,100 workers died in the tragedy, making it the deadliest accident in the apparel industry's history.
The facility manufactured goods for brands such as Wal-Mart, Benetton and J.C. Penney partner Joe Fresh.
The coalition of 17 U.S. retailers said it worked with former U.S. Sens. George Mitchell and Olympia Snowe on the safety guidelines.
"All workers, no matter where they live, have the right to a safe environment," Jay Jorgensen, Wal-Mart's senior vice president and global chief compliance officer, said in a statement.
Other participants in the U.S. pact include J.C. Penney Co., Nordstrom Inc., Kohl's Corp., Gap Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., Nine West owner Jones Group Inc., L.L. Bean Inc., Limited, Hudson's Bay Co., IFG Corp., Public Clothing Co., Canadian Tire Corp., Carter's Inc. and VF Corp.
The safety goals represent "a collective step forward" by American retailers, said Mike Posner, a business and human rights professor at New York University's Stern School of Business.
"But it does not make sense for there to be two competing initiatives, an American one and a European one, that run the risk of duplication and confusion at the local factory level," he said in a statement. "What's needed in Bangladesh is a comprehensive industry-wide industry effort aimed at building a sustainable sourcing model that will ensure the workers in those factories, who are mostly young women, have a voice and assurance that they can work in a safe space."

O.K. everybody the stars have aligned
The rain has come.
Everyone who goes to games should know that means more noise.
"The rain effect" is much like yelling across a lake. Sound bounces off water and continues on.
Also, if you are in a section that gets rained on, stand up, you'll be less wet and warmer.
This is setting up to be a top five game for ear shattering sound.

Court Says It's Okay To Secretly Record Conversation If Done For Legitimate Reasons
from the i-may-or-may-not-be-recording-this dept
"The defendant must have the intent to use the illicit recording to commit a tort of crime beyond the act of recording itself."That makes sense. The act of recording alone, shouldn't be a criminal act, as it really depends on what is being done with the recording. And, in an age where not only is recording everything easier, but for some becoming standard, requiring permission to record all audio seems like an outdated concept.

Courtesy of Wentworth Sports Information
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Freshman James McKinney scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning, snapping a 5-all tie as MIT broke Wentworth's four-game win streak with an 8-5 win in a non-conference game played at Briggs Field. Friday's win was the Engineers' first of the season and first over the Leopards since 2006.
After leaving the bases loaded in the second inning, Wentworth got on the board in the top of the third inning when senior Pete Oggeri reached on a fielder's choice and would steal second. After a walk, Oggeri stole third and came home to score on an errant throw. The lead would not last long, as MIT countered with four unearned runs in the bottom half of the inning. McKinney would deliver an RBI single to tie the game and would come around to score on a three-run double off the bat of junior William Blackman which gave the Engineers a 4-1 lead.
The Leopards answered back in the fifth inning by scoring three runs to tie the game at 4-all. Junior Doug Papuga led off by reaching on an error, which was followed by junior Matt Jordan being hit by a pitch. Oggeri hit a single that scored Papuga and sophomore Conner Flisnik delivered a two-run double, which would score both Jordan and Oggeri. An inning later, Wentworth took a 5-4 lead on an RBI single from Oggeri, which scored Jordan who had drawn a walk and stole second.
MIT tied the game in the bottom of the sixth as Blackman drew a leadoff walk and stole second on a failed pickoff attempt. He would come around to score on a single by junior Ryne Barry. The Engineers loaded the bases with two outs, but Wentworth senior Chris Sandini came in to force a lineout and end the threat.
McKinney drew a leadoff walk to open the seventh and went to second on a sacrifice bunt from junior Dan Hyatt. Blackman grounded back to Sandini, but McKinney moved up 90 feet and came home on a wild pitch, giving the Engineers the lead for good. The eighth inning saw MIT score two more runs, both coming on wild pitches.
Sophomore Columbus Leonard earned the win (1-0) in relief, pitching two perfect innings with three strikeouts. Freshman Henry Zhu picked up the save by pitching a scoreless ninth. Sandini took the loss (0-2), allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits, while striking out three in 2.1 innings.
Offensively for MIT McKinney had a pair of hits and scored two runs, while senior Stewart Park (Brooklyn, N.Y.) chipped in with two hits and Blackman drove in three runs. At the plate for Wentworth, Oggeri was 3-for-5 with two runs scored, four stolen bases, and two RBI, while Flisnik drove in two runs.
MIT improves to 1-1 and heads to Chandler, Ariz., next week for Spring Break. The Engineers face nationally ranked Eastern Connecticut on Sunday. Wentworth falls to 4-3 and hosts Maine-Farmington on Saturday at Noon.

Kendall Keith, president of the National Feed and Grain Dealers Association says politics and biofuels are impacting the present and future of U.S. grain growers more so than at any time in history.
Speaking at the recent Southeastern Feed and Grain Dealers Association, Keith says the agricultural industry, from top to bottom, is clearly in a different environment. In particular, he says, the U.S. House of Representatives is poised to generate bold new moves in all sectors, not just agriculture.
The U.S. Senate, Keith says, is a more stable environment for agriculture. Energy is a bi-partisan issue, but the opportunities for agriculture to come out ahead are better placed in the Senate, he contends.
The big question for agriculture is: will the democrats continue to expend their energy to campaign up until the presidential election in 2008? Or, will they stop their drive to reclaim the presidency long enough to pass some meaningful legislation in the next two years?
A key piece of legislation will be the 2007 farm bill. The best bet among those floating around is that there will be new legislation that looks a lot like the old farm bill. The worst bet is that there will be an extension of the 2002 farm bill, according to Keith.
The political environment between 2002 and 2007 is dramatically different, according to Keith. For one thing there is a budget deficit now, compared to a budget surplus in 2002. There are now more places at the table, but the pie can get no larger, because of budget restraints, so something has to give. How the pie is split up will constitute most of the changes in the 2007 farm bill.
Among the challenges to the 2007 farm bill, Keith says there are several primary factors that will significantly shape the new legislation:
• The Brazilian cotton case in the World Trade Organization.
• The whole arena of biofuels, from ethanol to biodiesel to other renewable fuels.
• The U.S. corn growers proposal to convert to a more profit-based system.
• Secretary of Agriculture Johann's hard stance on dramatically changing the farm bill.
• A unified push for conservation.
• Impact of world hunger groups pushing for reduced use of grain for fuel.
• Lobbying by fruit and vegetable groups to get a bigger piece of the pie.
Overall, Keith contends 2007 is the worst year in history to write a new farm bill. The big, over-riding issue, he contends, is uncertainty over the price of grain for use in ethanol and biodiesel production.
Estimates from leading, but dramatically opposite factions of the agriculture industry, leave a gap of six billion gallons. On the low end, three-year growth in ethanol production from corn is estimated to be 12 billion gallons. On the high end, estimates are for 18 billion gallons. Both estimates come from reputable sources, but the six billion gallon gap will have a huge impact on American agriculture, Keith contends.
Short-term, market analysts from New York to Los Angeles are scurrying to try and figure out the stability of high corn prices and the impact of these prices on the stability of good soybean and wheat prices. The problem, Keith points out, is that we have never had the kind of external impact on grain markets that are currently being caused by the demand for grain to make fuel.
The Feed and Grain Chief says Republicans and Democrats agree on energy being a critical factor. However, they don't agree on how to deal with the problem. The next two years, he says, will provide unprecedented opportunities for Congress to pass legislation. The question is whether it will be good or bad for agriculture.
Some proponents of increased use of agricultural land to produce raw materials for biofuels contend taking land out of the Conservation Reserve Program would provide a temporary stop-gap. While there may be as much as 15 million acres in the CRP program that is usable for grain production at current prices, Keith contends that number is more realistically in the 6 million to 7 million acre range in terms of producing anywhere close to the national average of 151 bushels of corn per acre.
Another unknown that has analysts scratching their heads, and grain buyers apprehensive, is how many acres of corn will be planted in 2007. It could go as high as 100 million acres, though most top estimates stop at 95 million. The best guess, and Keith stresses it is just a guess, is 88 million acres.
Perhaps the biggest long-term political impact on grain production in the U.S. is the Bush administration's proposal to limit adjusted growth income (AGI) to $200,000 annually. "I don't think this proposal will ever pass legislation, but it opens the doors to discussion that could impact all segments of agriculture significantly for a long time," Keith says.
If the limit were to pass, a farmer with a gross adjusted income of $200,000 would qualify for zero support from the government. If his neighbor had a gross adjusted income of $199,999, that farmer would quality for $360,000 in government subsidies. If nothing else the energy required to fight off such legislation will detract agriculture from addressing other pressing problems.
The USDA contends the $200,000 limit proposed by the Bush Administration will not affect many farmers. Information released in late February contends the 38,000 tax filers who had an AGI of $200,000 or more and received farm program payments in 2004 includes both Schedule F filers and Form 4835 filers. Schedule F is filed by farm proprietors. Of all Schedule F filers, only 1.2 percent, or 25,000, had an AGI of $200,000 or more and received farm program payments.
The Administration's farm bill proposal also recommends repealing a provision of current law that waives the AGI limit if 75 percent or more of the AGI is derived from farming,
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is very different from gross income in that farm expenses and depreciation are subtracted from the total. Other deductions include the cost of self-employed health insurance, one-half of the self-employment tax and contributions to retirement accounts.
In total, the Schedule F form (farm proprietor tax form) contains 25 different categories of expenses that are deducted prior to the calculation of AGI. The Schedule F form also has six blank lines for farmers to deduct "Other Expenses." All of these are subtracted from gross income when calculating AGI.
Politics, fuel and farming all seem to point in different directions. To be sure agriculture gets a fair deal in upcoming legislation will require that farmers and the whole agriculture community stick together and work together. This is more critical than at any time in our history, the President of the National Feed and Grain Dealers Association says.

The Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center Board has worked with many local and regional contractors, and individuals to fund and build the Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center (aka "Mustang Pavilion") located on the north end of the town of Kim.
The Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center Board has worked with many local and regional contractors, and individuals to fund and build the Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center (aka "Mustang Pavilion") located on the north end of the town of Kim.
This project was funded through grants, community contributions and in-kind donations. Many contractors and individuals have donated or discounted their labor while others have donated both time and materials to make this project a success. The countless hours of local grant writing and accounting services were all 100 percent donated.
The Mustang Pavilion is the best facility of its kind with nothing even coming close to matching it for several hundred miles. Individuals or organizations can, and are in fact encouraged, to call and reserve the facility for their own use or to produce income generating events. It can actually be used to produce either small or large events, for individuals' use and serious practice, or just for fun. There is a coin operated machine to turn on the lights and which simultaneously covers the electrical expense.
With a declining rural population trend nationwide, this is an effort to keep our rural dollars in our small rural communities and provide young families with business and economic opportunities, while simultaneously protecting and enhancing what we love most about our communities – our western heritage and way of life. The larger rodeos and equine events bring in enormous sums of money to the communities where they are held. In like fashion the events held at the Mustang Pavilion can on a per capita basis potentially create a larger boost to our rural economy than many of the equine events that are held in metropolitan areas. We have already held a few events at the Mustang Pavilion during the construction phases. Numerous patrons that attended those few events have mentioned how great it was to be able to compete out of the elements in such a nice facility and not have to drive through big city traffic to do so.
The facility now has men's and women's bathrooms and showers, a small concession kitchen area, announcers stand and PA system, a 145-foot by 290-foot competition arena complete with state of the art roping and bucking chutes, several livestock sorting and holding pens, and bleachers all under a 230-foot by 350-foot pavilion style roof. Also located at the facility are covered stalls for horses, several larger livestock pens with feed bunks and water tanks which are automatically filled via float chambers.
At considerable expense sand was hauled in and mixed with the local soil to provide the proper mix of sand and clay to make the ideal surface for equine events. The arena dirt is kept in optimum competition condition from a state of the art water storage, and sprinkler system. The facility has both truck and trailer loading chutes and gravel throughout the driveway areas to facilitate traffic during adverse weather conditions.
The Mustang Pavilion is a state of the art facility utilizing the latest technology with the conservation of water and other nonrenewable resources as one of the top priorities, which is second only to the structural integrity and functionality of the facility.
All of this comes at a considerable cost. To date, an impressive $433,314 of the total $1,992,245.00 was paid for by local donations from contractors and individuals. Three grants from Great Outdoors Colorado provided $1,100,000, and $369,500.00 was obtained through 13 other grants from eight different philanthropy organizations.
To build the Mustang Pavilion over 20 grants were applied for over a 5-year period and 16 of them were funded. However, some of the funds were not received until after the project was completed, so to pay the various vendors supplying material, contracting services and to meet the first matching portion for the first grant, a Line of Credit/loan was obtained. (Grants require the applicant to risk some of the startup cost of the project). The grants and other local donations provided the revenue to cover the rest of the expenses to finish building the facility.
Several patrons that have attended events at the pavilion have stated what a great project it is and have asked what they could do to be a part of it. The board of directors of the Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center is providing an opportunity for everyone to be involved with and support this great project that is not only providing an opportunity for school and community sustainability, but also protects and enhances the great things we love about our community at the same time. When you support the Mustang Pavilion project by giving a tax deductible donation in the amount of $500, we would like to publicly thank you, and forever note your support of this great project, by placing a ceramic tile with your brand etched into it, and a brass name plate attached to it, on the cinder block walls on the interior of the building. One 16"x16" tile with one brand will be installed for each $500 donation.
Please note the space for the tiles is limited. Those with their brands on the wall will forever be remembered as founding contributors to this hallmark project. Checks should be made payable to: The Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center, Inc. PO Box 145, Kim, CO 81049.
These funds will go to zero out the startup cost and LOC interest. The Kim Equine Pavilion and Education Center Inc. is owned and operated as a 501(c) 3 (not-for-profit corporation) with the community and school sustainability as the sole purpose of this endeavor. Please contact any board member if you have any questions or comments, R.C. Patterson, Ricke Feemster, John Marroney, Bob Watkins, John Doherty, Steve Wooten or Dale Yocam. Help us keep rural dollars supporting rural communities.

GONZALES, LA (WAFB) - Hundreds of plant workers, who were not seriously injured, were bused to the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales following Thursday's explosion. Medical staff was on hand to check those workers. Some family members were also there, waiting to make sure their loved ones were okay.
"They said they're taking her to Oschner," Jacqueline Right said to her brother. Right and her aunt were waiting at the center for her cousin who worked at the plant. "She said she was blown back but her ears are bothering her, like they're popping."
Several people drove into the parking lot, waiting to find their family member. Workers from Williams Olefin and other area plants stepped off the buses around noon, cell phones pressed to their ears, searching for family. Most filed inside the gym at Lamar Expo where medical personnel were waiting to check them out.
"It's scary," said Betty Haile. She said as soon as she heard about the explosion she left her job in Baton Rouge to come find her husband, son and cousin. She says they all work at the plant. At the time, she says she had spoken to her son who was not far from where the fire was. "He said he heard the explosion and started running, fire started popping all on the back of his neck. He was running and fighting the fire off." Haile says an incident like this one is the reason she prays every day for her family and the others who work there.
Also in the crowd of workers, were a father and son who were reunited. Both men worked at the plant, but in different areas.
"It blew me down. I was running and it blew me off my feet. I just thought there was going to be more and more explosion," said Troy Jones.
Jones' son, Cardinous Wicks also works at the plant. Wicks says he's been an employee for six months. He says when he saw the explosion, he whispered one word: Alana, the name of his three-month-old daughter and started running.
"I thought I was going to die," he said. "People were running, falling...you can't turn back to help them because you're scared for your own life."
While each person who works at the plant realizes there is a risk of working at these types of facilities, some have never pictured something actually happening.
"I just thank God that they're alive," said Haile.
A lot of the workers and their families say they are praying for all the employees. They also say it will be some time before they are cleared to go back to work. Some say they're not sure they'll go back at all.

In your next "Deadbeat Illinois article," please include your view that the answer to the pension problem is that you back legislation prohibited by the Illinois State Constitution.
Also, include that the proposal you back would render the spirit of contracts null and void.
Third, include that your prescription for rectifying the shortfall in the funds for the pensions, caused by politicians who repeatedly figured out devious ways to keep the necessary tax levels fictitiously low for Illinoisans, in order to get re-elected, is to steal money from retirees, rather than professing that, in the end, taxes will have to be increased anyway to cover the many social programs the Legislature has burdened us with.
If your view agrees with trashing language contained in the Illinois Constitution, I hope that you will remain consistent by ceasing to print the portion of the U.S. Constitution ensuring the freedom of speech and the press on your editorial page. Furthermore, if you agree that contracts no longer matter under the rule of law in this country, I hope your lawyers won't come after me if I refuse to pay for the past weeks of your newspaper I have received.
Lastly, if you agree that stealing money promised to any individual is acceptable, I hope that the RRSTAR staff remains consistent by agreeing that the owners of the RRSTAR can steal the portion of the employees' pensions that the company agreed to match in the past, so the company can pay the bills owed to their creditors, likened to the social service providers that the state is having trouble paying, who will be hurt by the bankruptcy of the RRSTARS' parent company.
All I am asking is that the Editorial Board, along with the reporters, be consistent in their beliefs. Should we ask, "Who cares if the representatives we elected, who swear to uphold and protect the Constitution to the best of their ability, really mean what they swear to?"
The polished politician President Clinton once stated, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" as his outlandish defense for lying about his Monica Lewinski affair. Should we continue to allow the politicians, along with their enablers in the media, to dictate what the moral character of this country should be?
I am trying to figure out if anyone agrees that this behavior should not be allowed to continue. In the end, it is really up to all of us, especially for the reporters we rely on for the truth, as to what is right for this great country.

It's been said "'tis better to give than receive"…and then there is both!
In 2011 Susan Hoelle held a bachelor's of science in nursing but decided she wanted to pursue an advanced practice degree: a master of science in nursing, or MSN. She enrolled at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner program and during her two years in the program became the proud recipient of the Susan and Derek van Amerongen Scholarship, which bestows $5,000 a year to a student seeking to advance their career. But when Hoelle graduated in 2013 she made yet another career enhancing decision—this time for someone else, by establishing her own nursing scholarship to pay forward the generosity of the van Amerongen scholarship.
Beginning in 2014, and over a period of five years, Hoelle will assist other ambitious nursing students with a $2,000 scholarship contribution each academic year. The scholarship will be open to traditional, full-time students in any program in the College of Nursing with a 3.0 or higher GPA and the students must express a desire in public health nursing or to work with vulnerable populations.
What is your background?I was born and raised in southwestern Ohio and am the third of five daughters. We grew up on a small farm with beef cattle and crops. My sisters and I helped with baling hay, canning vegetables and other activities on the farm. The work was hard at times but I always enjoyed driving the tractors or the farm truck, which of course I was doing well before receiving my driver's education class. I attended Miami University for my undergraduate degree in nursing (BSN) and worked several years before deciding to return to graduate school. Why did you choose UC to further your education?I initially selected UC because the university established a Master's in Public Health program in 2008. I have a background in public health and was interested in a MPH degree. I looked elsewhere, but the program at UC met my requirements (local, on-site program). I started the MPH program in 2010 and it was during that time I decided on becoming a nurse practitioner. Attending UC for my master's in nursing was the obvious choice. First, I wanted to attend an on-site program (not distance learning). Secondly, UC's NP programs have a reputation for providing an excellent education for students. I enrolled and was accepted in the family nurse practitioner program and started the program in 2011. What did it feel like to receive the scholarship?I was thrilled and honored. When I decided to become a nurse practitioner, I wanted to attend as a full-time student. That meant scaling back my work hours significantly, which translated into reduced income. I was willing to make the financial sacrifice because I was committed to studying as much as possible. I did not want to forgo the hours required to successfully complete the program. Receiving the scholarship greatly alleviated my financial burden. Being awarded the scholarship motivated me to work even harder, knowing that a significant portion of my education was being funded. How do you convey to others, especially young adults, the importance of giving back?Giving back is an investment in our future. I am proud to be a nurse and now a nurse practitioner. Giving back provides the opportunity to support the education of others in my profession. I have come to realize even a small gift can be incredibly impactful. As a recent grad, what would you tell those thinking about going back to school? People say to me, "Oh, it will take me three years, five years, whatever, to complete my degree". I tell people to consider that this time will come and go regardless if you are in school or not, so why not? I so enjoyed returning to school later in life (I'm in my early 40s now) and really immersed myself in gaining new knowledge. It was tough but worth it, I'm excited about the next chapter post-graduation.
For more information on the Hoelle scholarship or to create a nursing scholarship of your own, please contact Brian Hurst, senior director of development for the UC Academic Health Center, by calling 513-558-0907 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Italy's Pozzi Now In Control Of Melges 32 Worlds
27 September 2012
Newport, RI - USA - PRO Hank Stuart fired off three more great races at the 2012 Melges 32 World Championship, hosted by the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) on Wednesday. With two more days left to race, the pressure to do well is extremely intense as Bombarda's Andrea Pozzi with tactician Gabriele Benussi sit atop the leaderboard ahead by two. In second overall, is John Kilroy Jr. on Samba Pa Ti who felt the full effects of a great day of successful racing with Paul Goodison on tactics. Ben Schwartz on Pisces with Chris Rast as tactician is now third. Tied in points with Schwartz, seated fourth and fifth respectively is Steve Howe's Warpath and Alec Cutler's Hedgehog.
The day started out with light, challenging and very shifty conditions. With the breeze at only 5-7 knots, every mark rounding meant that the NYYC Race Committee had to work just that much harder to keep up with the ever shifting wind. Japan's Keisuke Suzuki with tactician Jesper Radich on Swing played the shifts just right enabling him to turn up the heat in Race One and establish a massive lead from the get-go. Suzuki lead, then extended throughout the race securing an almost 10-boat length advantage to win over second place finisher Schwartz on Pisces. Pozzi was third.
Kilroy claimed an event milestone as his team currently is the first challenger at Worlds to carry three bullets in their scoreline. With Goodison on tactics, Kilroy came on strong and focused in the second and third race of the day taking both wins, landing him an impressive second place overall, up from yesterday's eighth position.
Pozzi had a great first two races, which ultimately helped him sustain the lead, finishing third and second. Roberto Tomasini Grinover on Robertissima had a nice day to take third in Race Two. Finally, Jason Carroll's Argo Team looked to be back on track as they finished second in Race Six of the championship, followed by Howe in third.
Defending Melges 32 World Champion William Douglass on Goombay Smash showed up on the course today with the most unusual of sailing attire - complete head-to-toe, day-glow orange, skin-tight body suits (with matching shoes nonetheless). Thanks to modern technology, images were quickly posted of the glow-in-the-dark sailors on the class' Facebook page. As one can only imagine, the comment meter went off the chart with thoughts and feedback. Check out the absolutely hilarious commentary for yourself at the Official Melges 32 Facebook Page.
Two more races, with the option for a third, are scheduled for Friday, September 28 with a start of 11.00.
The 2012 Melges 32 World Championship Press Team will be bringing live reports and updates of the racing via the Melges 32 Blog. Every start, play and finish will be published, and as connection allows, video from the race course may be provided too. In addition, the latest racing developments will post to the Official Melges 32 Facebook Page. A host of photos from the event can be found online at melges32.com.

The New York Yacht Club was formed in 1844 onboard the yacht Gimcrack anchored off the Battery in New York Harbor. The Club's first Cruise was held later that summer bound for Newport, Rhode Island. A year later, the Annual Regatta was begun and the 158th edition was held in 2012. In 1901, the Club's burgee was hoisted over the spectacular beaux-arts style building, designed by Whitney Warren and known for its Model Room and Library, which serves as the Club's home in the heart of Manhattan. Harbour Court, the Club's first permanent waterfront facility commissioned in 1988, overlooks Brenton Cove and Newport Harbor and has become the focal point of many premier regional, national and world sailing championships. The original clubhouse, a small gingerbread trimmed house constructed in 1845 in Hoboken, NJ, now sits on the sloping lawn at Harbour Court. The history and tradition of New York Yacht Club is rich and storied, from winning and defending the America's Cup from 1851 to 1983, to running transatlantic races, cruising, racing, teaching, leading... all distinguished by an enduring passion for yachting.

Technology company Xerox (NYSE:XRX) and athletic apparel maker Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) announced plans to hike their quarterly dividends by double-digit percentages on Wednesday as corporate America continues to return cash to shareholders.
Shares of both companies inched slightly higher on the moves.
Continue Reading Below
Xerox said its board of directors has approved a 35% increase in the company's quarterly dividend to 5.75 cents a share. The dividend is payable on April 30 to shareholders of record as of March 28.
Last month Xerox logged slightly better-than-expected quarterly earnings and reiterated its full-year earnings projections.
Meanwhile, Foot Locker on Wednesday declared a first-quarter dividend of 20 cents per share, up 11% from its earlier payout. The new dividend is payable on May 3 to shareholders of record as of April 19.
Foot Locker also unveiled a new three-year share buyback program that is worth $600 million. The authorization replaces the company's prior $400 million repurchase program. Foot Locker said it spent $129 million under that program in 2012.
Moreover, Foot Locker said its board of directors signed off on a $220 million capital expenditure program for 2013, up from $163 million in 2012. The retailer said it plans to spend the cash on new store formats, expansion into Europe and new technology.
"By taking these actions, our board has expressed its confidence that Foot Locker, Inc. has the financial strength to simultaneously invest in the company's growth opportunities and return cash directly to shareholders through a balanced approach to dividends and share repurchases," CEO Ken Hicks said in a statement.

Deep Resonance mod is a power generation mod for Minecraft meant for both early game power as well as high end and more complicated end game power. This release adds oregen (the resonating ore as well as crystals) so that people can put it in their worlds already. It also has a (default disabled) retrogen option for existing worlds. In the current state of the mod you can produce crystals that give 20000 RF/tick for a total of 1 billion RF. But note that getting to that stage is not going to be easy.

Setup with smelter, purifiers, and crystalize

You better hide under that chair! She IS something but special? I'm with Jeff, she's a 6 year old mentally. I have to say, I sit with my jaw hitting the floor when she goes after Fabio and renders him speechless. It's hard to believe with all she's done that she's still in the game.
Na'Onka certainly makes good TV.......everyone is talking about her.......no one is talking about Dan.....lol
Quote from: DrRox on November 15, 2010, 04:01:19 PMNa'Onka certainly makes good TV.......everyone is talking about her.......no one is talking about Dan.....lolSo true! She's so far out there that my jaw just drops, who else could do what she does without even batting an eye, like going off on Fabio when he is protesting stealing his socks and put the guilt on him!
Maybe it was Kelly B. Something random though, I wish Jeff would stop calling Kelly S, Purple Kelly.

These are not "Happy Day" politically for Hudson Valley native Henry Winkler.
Winkler, who grew up in Mahopac and starred as "Fonzie" in the hit TV series, took on Donald Trump in an interview on MSNBC with host Hugh Hewitt.
Winkler said he thinks Trump "is completely self-possessed or obsessed. And it's very interesting. This is what he does. When the crowd goes wild for him, he moves his ear closer to the sound. You watch it; it happens every time."
Winkler also said newly installed White House Chief of Staff, retired Gen. John Kelly, has an impossible job.
"Eventually the job is going to beat him over the head until he bleeds from his skull," Winkler said of Kelly.
Asked if he had anything good to say about Trump, Winkler, after thinking, said, "I'll get back to you on that."
You can see the interview with Hugh Hewitt here.
Trump, who owns an estate in Bedford, also owns Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley in Stormville and Trump National Westchester in Briarcliff Manor.
The Trump name also adorns Trump Tower At City Center in White Plains, Trump Plaza in New Rochelle, Trump Park Residences in Yorktown and the Donald J. Trump State Park on the Westchester/Putnam border.
