Brian Tucker's "Broken City" screenplay is packed with plot twists, complex sentences and the kind of innuendo that make it seem as if the movie will be a smarter-than-most thriller from the first exchanges. All the talking is no doubt why "Broken City" landed on the coveted Black List of the best unproduced scripts a few years ago.
Now it's been filmed with a beefy cast led by Mark Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a broken cop turned P.I. Russell Crowe is cagey Mayor Nicolas Hostetler, the man who brought him down. Jeffrey Wright as Police Commissioner Fairbanks watches it all with a jaundiced eye.

In front of a packed crowd on its home floor, Tanner pulled off a clean sweep at the Limestone County Basketball Tournament Saturday night. The Lady Rattlers beat five-time defending champions Clements 47-44 in the first game followed by a 59-54 win over East Limestone for the boys championship.
Both championship games did not disappoint the standing room-only crowd at Tanner. In the girls final, Tanner led for most of the game before Daneshia "Lou Lou" Malone led an 8-0 run for Clements to start the fourth quarter. Malone finished with 36 points and 20 rebounds.
Once Tanner regained the lead in the final minute, Malone converted a three-point play to tie the game at 43-43 with less than a minute to play. Tanner wasted no time in retaking the lead when Kacie Dentleegrand scored with 20 seconds remaining from close range.
"That shot down there got our adrenaline pumping more and more and that's when I knew we were going to win," said Dentleegrand. "Lou Lou is a beast. Even when she made that shot I knew we were going to win. We deserved it."
Clements had one final chance to tie the game with a three-pointer, but Malone's shot banked off the backboard as time expired. Three players scored in double figures for the Lady Rattlers, led by Sydney Houston's 16 points. Samara French scored 13 points followed by Dentleegrand's 12.
"We wanted to come out and win it for the seniors," said Houston . "They haven't won it since they were playing JV. It was real important to beat Clements because we played them in the finals for 3 or 4 years now."
The boys game was no less dramatic. A back-and-forth game saw East Limestone take its largest lead of the game at 52-49 with just over two minutes to play when Jordan Gandy stole the ball near midcourt and slammed it home. But Tanner showed why it's the No. 1 team in Class 2A and outscored the Indians 10-2 over the final two minutes to seal the win.
"I was really concerned down three with two minutes left," said Tanner head coach Chris Whitt. "There were momentum shifts all night long, from start to finish and we came through in the last couple of minutes. It was just a good game, good atmosphere, great basketball."
Fred Rich led the Tanner with a team-high 20 points. Jonathan Fletcher scored 13 and Greg Maclin added 12 points for Tanner.
Gandy poured in 25 points in the losing effort for East Limestone

Good installation instructions and easily installed. Fit and finish feel good, but have not had time to try them in action. Look forward to trying them out.
The grip went on easily, fits well, and makes the revolver easier to shoot. Great product.
Feel good on the gun but a little difficult to intall.
Works great! Easier to hold and to hang on to with full magnum loads. About $10 cheaper than the sporting goods store and I didn't spend any gas or pay postage to get them. Thanks for a great product!
Really easy to install, only took a few minutes. With the free shipping special Sportsmans Guide was cheaper than any other store or website. Thanks again Sportsmans Guide!
Excellent replacement for my Ruger SP 101 .357 pistol. Now I just need to get to the range and see what improvements it has made.

Self-Fulfilling Currency Crises: The Role of Interest Rates
Article Citation
Hellwig, Christian, Arijit Mukherji, and Aleh Tsyvinski. 2006. "Self-Fulfilling Currency Crises: The Role of Interest Rates." American Economic Review, 96(5): 1769-1787.

DOI: 10.1257/aer.96.5.1769
We develop a model of currency crises, in which traders are heterogeneously informed, and interest rates are endogenously determined in a noisy rational expectations equilibrium. In our model, multiple equilibria result from distinct roles an interest rate plays in determining domestic asset market allocations and the devaluation outcome. Except for special cases, this finding is not affected by the introduction of noisy private signals. We conclude that the global games results on equilibrium uniqueness do not apply to market-based models of currency crises. (JEL D84, E43, F32)

Spicy Sweet Potato Colcannon with Pancetta
Author Notes: This recipe began as a riff on traditional Irish Colcannon--a dish of potato, cabbage (or kale), and onion. Colcannon is typically served at Halloween time, which coincides with the Celtic harvest celebration, Samhain. A bit of fortune-telling legend is also attached to the dish: a plain gold ring is hidden in the serving platter; the one who finds it will be married within the year. Here, Colcannon gets a boost of color and spice: the orange and green combine to lend visual interest (and a tribute to the Irish flag); the addition of cayenne pepper will have you doing a perfect Irish jig in no time. - Allison Cay Parker
Serves 4-6 as a side dish (makes 4 cups)
- 1/3 pound kale, rinsed well and stripped of coarse stems
- 1.5 pounds sweet potato, peeled and cut in 1/2" cubes
- 4 slices (1/8" thick) pancetta, diced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or as much as 1/4 teaspoon, for more heat)
- 1/2 cup half-and-half (or substitute full cream or milk)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Cook kale in salted boiling water for 8 minutes. It should be tender and bright green. Drain well, squeeze out excess water, and chop fine.
- Boil sweet potato in ample water, in a covered pot, for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and pass through a potato ricer or food mill, into a large, heat-proof pot. (Note: If you have neither a ricer or mill, push potato through a sieve or otherwise be sure to mash thoroughly until smooth).
- Add the chopped kale to the sweet potato. Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the inclusion of cayenne and pancetta later in the recipe will boost the levels of both salt and spice; be judicious.
- In a medium skillet, over moderate heat, cook the pancetta until crisp but not browned. Remove using a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel.
- In the same pan you used to cook the pancetta, melt the butter. Add onion and cayenne pepper and sautee over moderate heat, until onion is translucent and has lost its crunch. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat half-and-half, then beat into the sweet potato-kale mixture (I just used a fork, which worked best). Add the pancetta. Add the onion and the fat from the pan. Combine all ingredients well, and keep warm (or reheat over low flame).
- This dish may be prepared in advance. In fact, it tastes even better the next day. Also, try pressing the potatoes into a pie plate and chilling overnight: the next day, cut into wedges and fry up in additional butter or oil to accompany a breakfast of scrambled eggs.

Thank you!

I've been craving hot vegetables lately and now I can do something different with my sweet potatoes, too! Can you substitute chard for the kale?
over 4 years ago Allison Cay Parker
Yes, you can totally substitute chard for kale, though it will be even more of a departure from the traditional Irish recipe. Still, departures are good. Go for it! Thanks for the comment.

Reviews for Herbed Slow Cooker Chicken
Sort By :
We enjoyed this chicken dinner. Like some other reviewers, I used smoked paprika and lifted the skin to rub the spices underneath. I chopped up the leftovers for chicken salad. I used the tasty cooking juices in place of plain chicken broth in my white bean ragout side dish.
Did not like it. When it was in the slow cooker it smelled like cabbage cooking. Will not make it again.
I threw in a few extra spices and also chopped up a bunch of celery and carrots. I didn't get to eat it the first night so it got reheated for about 45 minutes in the crock pot. OMG, it was soooo. Ladled a scoop of that wonderful brother over some broccoli and rice and it was a lovely meal.
Seasoning was good. I tweaked a few things for our preferences, but I didn't really change a lot. However the chicken broth, in my opinion, is almost entirely unnecessary. I added a tiny amount and left it at that. When I made it with the full amount, there was so much liquid in there from the broth and the chicken that the chicken basically boiled in the crock pot.
First, I read many of the comments about the recipe before making it. When I made the paste I resisted the urge to tweak the spices with the exception of using smoked paprika instead of regular. I had 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts on hand and was cooking for two. (Did not change amounts in the spice glaze.) After coating each side I used a pronged meat tenderizer to drive spices into chicken and added another coat before putting them into the crock. I also sautéed one fresh garlic clove in 1 tbsp of butter and added it to the broth. There was to much broth for two half breasts in a 4 qt pot so I added a layer of potatoes underneath. I ended up with a very tasty mealb (chicken was flavorful). The spices were not over powering. But next time I will season the potatoes as well as the chicken, before cooking.

CROWN POINT, Ind. — Lake County, long Indiana's lone holdout for passing a local income tax, will begin collecting 1.5 percent of residents' wages this month as part of an effort to shore up the county's coffers.
The local income tax has been an option for Indiana's 92 counties since 1973. It was billed as a way to wean local governments from property tax revenue.
While other counties implemented the tax, Lake County officials opposed it, arguing for years that it was unfair because it didn't tax business income but provided businesses with millions in property tax relief.
But a loss of revenue to statewide property tax caps and other steps cost the county more than $120 million and prompted the county council to pass the local income tax in May.
The tax is expected to bring in more than $45 million for 2014, The Times reported. That amount will grow in 2015 when the first full year of income tax collections is completed.
The tax includes a 1 percent county adjusted gross income tax; a 0.25 percent public safety income tax; and a 0.25 percent county economic development income tax. The public safety tax will help pay salaries and benefits for police, firefighters and other emergency responders and will help cover jail expenses and an E-911 communications system.
The economic development tax can be spent "for any lawful purpose" under state law.
The new tax applies to all county residents, as well as out-of-state residents who work in Lake County. Workers from out of state will pay a smaller nonresident rate.

You take a few days vacation and of course the Sabres do a lot while you're gone. Here's some thoughts to unclutter my mind:
---No question the Sabres wanted Jhonas Enroth (left) to return as their backup goaltender. There were some Internet reports he was looking at the KHL, which would have been utterly foolish for him to do, and an even more foolish tweet from his brother, Mattias, that tried to pressure the Sabres. (Seriously? For an RFA goalie with little leverage who did a great job but won only nine games? If I'm Enroth I tell my brother in no uncertain terms to can it.)
So yesterday's announcement of a two-year deal is yet another solid summer signing for this club, which has overpaid some free agents (who doesn't these days?) but is clearly way better than it was when it finished the season in the playoffs against the Flyers. (Enroth's deal is for $1.35 million total at a cap hit of $675K per)
Now the Sabres can head into the season knowing they have a solid tandem in net, something they really haven't had since Marty Biron left. And it's thus paramount for Lindy Ruff to keep Ryan Miller's workload light. My goal would be 60 games in the regular season for Miller with Enroth getting 22. That's a low total for Miller based on previous seasons but he's not 24 anymore either. He just turned 31 on Sunday! And the plan here is to be playing hockey deep into May and maybe June, right?
Enroth can play. We know that. Ruff has to play him. One other Enroth note: Mattias tweeted yesterday that he and Jhonas celebrated the deal with ice cream. Ooooooooooook.
---A four-year, $11-million-plus deal for Andrej Sekera? Really? The numbers, especially offensively, were pointing Sekera's way in arbitration but this one is all about potential. Are the Sabres getting the guy who can be maddening to the point where Ruff needs to scratch him or the guy who was a monster for that one small stretch last season or for Slovakia in the Olympics? It's a risk worth taking if it pans out. But the money ups the ante. Sekera isn't a kid learning on the job anymore with that kind of contract.
---Speaking of money upping the ante, I'm baffled by all the people suddenly raging that Tim Connolly was picked on in the media during his time here. How many of you heard the boos in HSBC Arena, at times late in the year every time he touched the puck? He was a $4.5 million player who suddenly became a penalty killer and didn't score a goal for 29 straight playoff games. What exactly are people supposed to write? How many Paul Hamilton between-periods interviews on WGR correctly said Connolly was pretty much useless but also pointed out he might have been the hottest guy going in the NHL until his 2006 concussion?
Then there are those who say some of the criticism of Connolly got too personal. There are both sides to that argument. But the lightning rod was a recent Toronto Sun column that described Connolly as "Soft. Sullen. Difficult. Loner. Spoiled brat. Silver spoon kid. Entitled. Not a team player."
Repeating: That was written in the TORONTO SUN. And both readers and other media outlets are leaving out the next line too: "And one more thing: Supremely skilled." Pretty important omission.
Last point on Connolly: Criticism of a player is not because there's a lack of cooperation with the media. The only time I asked to speak to Connolly in the last four years where he failed to show up was on this year's locker cleanout day. He was generally never at his locker after games and practices and generally always willing to come to it for interviews when asked to by the team's PR staff. He should have been there anyway but it's not like he refused either. There's no connection. Plenty of players who are great with the media get criticized harshly too.
---What is this team going to do about its salary cap issues? The Sabres have yet to sign Marc-Andre Gragnani and are already about $3.5 million over the cap. They don't have to get down to it until the season opener and it's widely assumed the roughly $5 million of Ales Kotalik and Shaone Morrisonn will be stashed in Rochester. But that's still only going to leave a few hundred thousand dollars of space to start the season.
I figure the Sabres have to be looking at wanting a cushion of $3-4 million, not perhaps $600,000. There has to be a deal coming. Has to. And maybe one bigger than we think. Here's one thought: Brad Boyes better not be house-hunting. Month-to-month lease, dude.

Thank you for reposrt! Glad you had great time at SC.Hey guys, I was at skate canada and on the jumbo tron they were showing videos of the skaters called like '1 minute with Tessa virtue and Scott moir.' I have been trying to find it on Skate Canada's YouTube site and they have weaver and poje's up but not Tessa and Scott's... Has anyone else seen it? The interviewer (terra Findlay) asks about the last concert they went to and the music on their iPod...
ALSO, a note on Skate canada... it was truly magical being there for that free dance and I was so teary eyed at the end. I also got them to sign my poster and talked a bit and even though it wasn't my first time meeting them, you realize all over again what truly gracious and appreciative people they are.
I love Tracy's commentary during the FD... it is a masterpiece, no question
I didnt saw that video, just WP.
And thank you foe nw thread, CatherineC !
Thanks for posting the link for Stay Happy. I love the lifts in that program. And thanks for the new thread Catherine.
BTW pani what are the Russian commentators saying during Stay?

NBC just showed sd clips and said virtue and moir becoming legends, we'll see their free dance as our gold medal moment!!! super stoked to watch it on my tv!!! I totally expected nbc to ignore they were even there!
ETA: it was ammmazing and no commentary during! Short interview after. Scott: "we just have to be together, and we think when we're together, we're unbeatable." Also the straight line lift was the innovative moment highlight!!! I could watch that one all day. The matching leg lines are fabulous!

Yes, they love to talk.
Thanks pani. And it was because he was talking so much that made me curious what he was saying. I recorded the nbc broadcast (so I can fast forward to Tessa and Scott. Lol just kidding…I think) missjd so can't wait to see it!

Belated congratulations to V&M. The LP was simply beautiful.

Love this thread title. It combines two of my passions - V/M and Bryan Adams
Finally watched their FD in HD. Gosh they are SO fast for October!
Don't think this version of the FD (fairly good quality with no commentary) has been posted:
I met Tessa and Scott at at the airport. Scott was surprised I wanted his pic separately as Tessa was nowhere in sight.
Then I saw Tess and asked for a pic. She is SO SWEET and asked me to be in the pix and one of the cameramen who follows them to take our pix. I told her I absolutely adored her FD but didn't want to intrude so left.
I had my fangirl moment!
Lucky you Emdee. I met them both at Skate Canada and they were ever so gracious. That was the year they were not skating but were there book signing.

WELLSTON — An Irons teen is suspected of slaying a Wellston man during an apparent robbery attempt.
Dennis Guenthardt, 64, was found dead in his residence on Tuesday from an apparent gunshot.
Michigan State Police Lt. David Street said the suspect, 19, faces murder charges but had yet to be arraigned as of Wednesday afternoon. He said there could be other arrests but not on Wednesday.
"Other people were possibly involved," he said.
Guenthardt was discovered after his friends could not contact him for more than a day. Street said the shooting happened before Tuesday at 4 p.m., but he could not give a more precise time.
He said the motive appears to be robbery, but authorities were still determining what, if anything, was stolen from Guenthardt's residence.
"I don't necessarily know the answer to that because he lived alone," he said.
The suspect was being held in Manistee County Jail on Wednesday.

WAGONER – Expect coach Jeremy Rogers to savor this win.
Rogers' Hilldale Hornets outscored the Wagoner Bulldogs 18-6 in the second period and got a solid outside shooting night from Bill Muse, Jr. in third quarter to take the 62-50 victory in Verdigris Valley Conference action at Wagoner's Hughes Event Center on Friday night.
The win snaps Hilldale's losing streak at three games to win its first conference game in six outings. The Hornets improved to 5-10 overall.
"We had a long talk and I questioned some of the kids' want-to and their competitive drive (after losing 63-27 to Fort Gibson Thursday)," Rogers said. "We got out-hustled in that game. I told them we needed a turning point. But we shot the ball well and played good defense. I thought we played really well all-around tonight."
Hilldale took a 28-21 lead at halftime.
Muse then scored 15 of his game-high 21 points in the third quarter as the Hornets pulled away. He sank 4-of-7 shots from beyond the arc in the third quarter.
"My teammates set good screens for me," he said. "I give them credit for running a lot of the stuff that coach wanted us to run."
Hunter Harrison added 10 points on 7-of-8 free throw shooting.
Wagoner coach Jason Giddens said Muse was the difference in the game as the Bulldogs dropped to 5-10 and 2-7.
"He can really shoot the basketball," Giddens said. "We left him open several times in a row and we know better than that. We just couldn't find him."
Byron Adams and Decarius Clark led Wagoner with 18 and 17 points, respectively. The Bulldogs' 6-foot-6 junior Ya'Aquoob "Jacob" King had 11 rebounds and five blocked shots.
The Bulldogs also played the game without Kerwin Thomas and Lateze Clayton. Thomas was on his official recruiting trip to Wyoming and Clayton was at home with the flu.
Hilldale and Wagoner will now play in Fort Gibson's Old Fort Classic.
In the boys division, the Hornets play Muldrow at 5:50 p.m. and the Bulldogs face Inola at 8:45. In the girls bracket, Hilldale meets Stilwell at 7:20 p.m. Tuesday and Wagoner plays Fort Gibson at 7:20 p.m. Monday.
Hilldale 41, Wagoner 37
Leah Gragg said she wasn't nervous.
She calmly sank three free throws in the last 16.8 seconds of the game to help the Hilldale Lady Hornets survive a scare from the Wagoner Lady Bulldogs and take the victory.
Gragg sank two foul shots with 16.8 seconds and another with 7.7 seconds remaining. It was all of her points in the game.
"Those were big as they helped us keep a lead," she said. "We work on them every day in practice and I would've been surprised if I had missed them."
Hilldale still had lingering effects from Thursday's battle at home against rival Fort Gibson. The Lady Hornets lost that game, 56-47. Coach Scott Hensley was happy to see his team, now 10-5 overall and 4-3 in conference, pull out the win.
"It's a confidence-builder to know it's a tight game and we've got a lot of pressure on us," he said.
Hillary Calvert led the Lady Hornets with 17 points and Katie Kirkhart added 13.
Wagoner (1-14, 0-9) can take a little confidence from this game as it got as close as 38-37 on Cherokee Ridge's putback with 2:07 left. She finished with a game-high 14 rebounds.
"Hilldale's very tough and athletic," coach Mike Blair said. "But I thought we could sneak one out on them."
Kelsi Emmons led the Lady Bulldogs with 10 points. Gabby Roberts had nine, while Kristen Robbins and Ridge had seven each.

His work is a colorful experience evoking many positive influences.
Jeremy Jannenga, of Oskaloosa, has had his art on display at the Foyer Gallery at Wilcox Library on the William Penn University campus. A reception was held at the gallery by the Fine Arts and Cultural Events Organization in recognition of Jannenga's work this past Thursday evening.
Some of Jannenga's work includes a decidedly eastern influence with dragons and a bit of calligraphy. Jannenga noted that these elements in his work can be traced back to his study of martial arts.
Some of Jannenga's pieces are more abstract. He credited his 4-year-old daughter with pointing out that one of these abstract pieces reminded her of rain.
Jannenga said he's been creating art since he was in grade school. His father, John, provided Jannenga with a bit of inherited influence, he said.
"My dad has always been an artist, too," said Jannenga.
The influence of the ocean and tropical climates can also be seen in Jannenga's work. Several of his paintings on display at the Foyer Gallery feature elements like surf boards, tropical flowers and sea creatures such as squids and sea horses.
One thing that's apparent in all of the work Jannenga has had on display at Wilcox Library is a feeling of positivity. Jannenga said he likes to use color, particularly complimentary colors like blues and oranges in his paintings.

The only thing on Dawn Norman's wish list this holiday season is that her 6-year old son Nathan lives to see another Christmas, and that his wish of receiving cards, letters and patches from as many police officers, firefighters and EMTs is fulfilled. Why? Because police officers, firefighters and EMTs happen to be Nathan's heroes.
As reported on New Milford Patch, three years ago, Nathan, who lives with his family in Rustburg, Virginia, was diagnosed with brain cancer.
"I remember the doctor saying that there was an abnormality," Dawn Norman remembers. "The doctor kept telling me over and over that there was an abnormality and then it hit me. He was telling me that my son had cancer."
Like most little boys, Nathan loves to watch cops, firemen and EMT's speed to calls in shiny cars and trucks —sirens blaring and lights flashing —making no stops as they race to save people.
This Christmas, Nathan is calling upon these heroes to make his wish come true by sending him cards, letters and patches —anything with a first responder insignia.
Officers from both the Reading and North Reading Police Departments will both make the trip to Virginia.
According to WHDH, Burlington police officers are also participating. They heard of Nathan's wish and decided they wanted to help make his Christmas dream come true.
BPD Officer James Tigges told the press that police departments all over New England have gotten into the action.

There doesn't seem to be a neighborhood issue Council President Rich Fontana won't take on. Even if it means staking out a problem neighborhood store at 3 a.m.
A man had applied to the city to open a shop that sold tobacco in Lovejoy, which requires approval from the Common Council. Michael Montanez told lawmakers that the product he would be selling - known as e-liquid cigarettes - would help people reduce their dependence on nicotine.
But Fontana said the results of his "investigation" indicated that customers at the building where the store is located would be hooked on something much more potent.
Fontana had heard complaints about narcotics activities at 1190 Lovejoy St. and wanted to see for himself. At 3 a.m., he took his wife's car - to disguise himself - and was flagged down as he drove by.
"They say, what can we get you?" he said.
A person in a chair was selling drugs from the front of the store, he said. The alleged dealer then asked Fontana if he was a cop.
The episode was relayed during a Council committee meeting earlier this week, when Montanez sought approval to open the store.
"I want you to be successful," Fontana told Montanez, who did not appear to be at the store when Fontana staked it out. "You cannot have drug dealers offering the Council president drugs at 3 in the morning."
Montanez said he would put in motion detection and a surveillance system, but Fontana asked why people were in the store at that hour, and refuted an earlier explanation he had been given.
"They were not painting," Fontana said. "It was complete and utter illegal activity."
Montanez distanced himself from what was going on at the store, but Fontana said he must be able to control it, even in the middle of the night.
The store will have an uphill battle getting Council approval, but Fontana said he's willing to hear from the store owner and the landlord before he makes a decision.
Buffalo Police are also working on the issue, Fontana said.

Density meter improves quality for Cartier Del Garda paper mill
Accuracy of Micro Motion density meter removes need for expensive coating additives, enabling significant annual savings.
Cartiere del Garda is using a Micro Motion density meter from Emerson Process Management to accurately measure the concentration of kaolin and other additives in the coating process at its paper mill on the banks of Lake Garda in Italy. The Micro Motion 7845 Density and Concentration Meter provides highly accurate density measurements under entrained gas conditions.
"The highly accurate measurement of the coating mixture concentration provided by Emerson's Micro Motion density meter means we have been able to discontinue the use of expensive additives," said Fulvio Prati, instrument manager at Cartiere del Garda. "This has enabled significant annual savings and paper quality is improved."
Cartiere del Garda operates a modern paper mill in Italy, specializing in high quality coated papers. For many years, a Micro Motion Coriolis flowmeter was used to monitor the concentration of the paper coating mixture and this provided reliable and accurate results. However, because the recirculation system on the feeding tank generated entrained air, it was necessary to add expensive additives to the coating mixture to prevent quality problems.
Removing the additives would reduce production costs but would cause up to 20% air to be entrained in the coating mixture. The existing Coriolis flowmeter was not designed to provide the same degree of density measurement accuracy under these conditions, so Cartiere del Garda sought an alternative solution. The company needed an on-line, solids concentration measurement of the coating solution, made directly at the film coater machine feed. A minimum accuracy of +/-1 percent of solids was required to guarantee the high quality of the paper being produced and avoid waste caused by out-of-specification batches.
Cartiere del Garda chose a Micro Motion 7845 Density and Concentration Meter for this challenging application. The company specified the advanced electronics, entrained gas version, which is designed to accurately measure density in aerated liquids − providing a final accuracy of better than +/- 0.5 percent with very high stability and repeatability. The 7845 provides a 4-20 mA signal to the control system, related to line density. Density is converted into percentage solids using a formula embedded into the control system.
The Micro Motion 7845 is a straight tube, liquid density meter that uses a vibrating tube to measure density. As the liquid density changes, it affects the vibrating mass of the density meter. The change in vibrating mass then affects the resonant frequency, which is inversely proportional to the density of the process fluid. By monitoring the resonant frequency and applying well-known conversions, the 7845 provides highly accurate in-line density data.
The Micro Motion 7845 Density and Concentration Meter is rugged, reliable, and requires minimum maintenance. The meter is calibrated in an ISO17025-accredited laboratory, traceable to International standards, and requires no field calibration.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The passage migration of Amur Falcons through Nagaland is drawing to a close. The season lasted almost two months with the first birds arriving in early October. A big thank you and sincere congratulations to the Naga communities of Pangti, Sungro, Ashaa and Doyang villages who rose up to the occasion to provide safe passage to the falcons. Here is a delightful thank you message from Rohan Chakravarty!
Nagaland Wildlife & Biodiversity Conservation Trust (NWBCT) just finished a volunteer-driven survey across a dozen locations in Northeast India, recording their numbers, routes, and roosts, as well as hunting pressures. Conservation India will publish a report on this shortly.
Also, in a significant achievement, three Amur falcons were satellite tagged and released on Nov 6th 2013 in Pangti. The birds were named Naga, Wokha and Pangti. The three birds were fitted with satellite tags with antenna and solar panel weighing 5 gram on their back.
The tagged birds' migration can be monitored from this website.
Male 'Naga' has Color Ring number KAM, Ring Number C56801; female 'Wokha' Color Ring Number KCM, Ring Number C56802 and another female 'Pangti' has Color Ring Number KFM, Ring Number C56803. All three birds have reached Africa. Click here to view their route.
The satellite tagging was an initiative of the Union ministry of environment and forests (MoEF), Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Convention on Migratory Species Office (CMS), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Nagaland forest department.
The migration of the Amur Falcons continues in full swing in Doyang, Nagaland, and there continues to be no killings reported so far!
To extend his support to the ongoing conservation efforts and to witness first hand the Amur Falcon spectacle, the Nagaland Chief Minister Mr. Neiphiu Rio visited Doyang.
On Sunday, the CM arrived with his wife as well as Minister for Environment and Forests Y Patton, Parliamentary Secretary for Animal Husbandry Yitachu, Parliamentary Secretary Labour and Employment Dr. Nicky Kire and several senior officers from the district administration, police and forest department.
He personally witnessed the spectacle of migrating Amur Falcon congregations and was truly delighted. He photographed them for over two hours. He later addressed the assembled community members, thanked them for their spectacular conservation efforts and listened to Amur Falcon songs sung by our (NWBCT's) ecoclub members!
The CM was very supportive and repeatedly emphasized the importance of the ongoing education and awareness drives needed to sustain the outcome.
Bano Haralu, who was an invitee to the event, was present with our full team (from Pangti, Sungro & Doyang) along with the children from the ecoclubs.
The enclosed picture shows the Chief Minister interacting with the 'Friends of the Amur Falcon' ecoclub members in Doyang.
Great news! The peak migration of Amur Falcons is on, and there have been absolutely no killings reported so far! This remarkable outcome has been the result of a full year of painstaking effort from the Nagaland government (especially the forest department), NGO groups, and most importantly, the local communities who were determined to end the killings.
Every morning, tens of thousands of falcons gather along the banks of the Doyang reservoir in a spectacle that is impossible to describe in words! These are probably the largest numbers of migratory raptors in the world (of one species!) and they climax in massive congregations along the reservoir. Before and after this 'bottleneck' the birds have never been seen in these mind-boggling numbers.
Our team at Nagaland Wildlife & Biodiversity Conservation Trust (NWBCT) has set-up month-long Amur Falcon counts across the Northeast in over a dozen locations.
Post Conservation India's reporting of this incident, and the subsequent national and international outcry, a lot of on-ground conservation initiatives have been initiated in Nagaland. Principally, the Government of Nagaland, at every level, are fully committed to end the killings and have geared up to face this season.
The Nagaland Wildlife & Biodiversity Conservation Trust (NWBCT), a Dimapur-based NGO, is leading a comprehensive programme with the support of the government as well as leading conservation NGOs. They have been in touch with various government officials as well as the community members since October last year on ways to stop the killings in 2013. They recently kicked off their 'Friends of the Amur Falcon' campaign with a conservation education programme covering the important villages in Wokha district. In a message of support, the Chief Minister of Nagaland Mr. Neiphiu Rio stated "The state government is committed to end the unfortunate killings of the migratory Amur Falcons in Nagaland while they are passing through the state. Further, Mr. Rio added, "It is our duty to protect the Amur Falcons and, in true Naga tradition of hospitality, treat them as honoured and esteemed guests".
In addition, other NGOs like Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) and Natural Nagas have also been been active in drawing up innovative initiatives to help prevent hunting of the falcons this year.
Additional information
The marathon migrant
The Amur Falcon is a complete, long distance, trans-equatorial migrant (Bildstein 2006). It has one of the of longest migration routes of all birds — doing upto 22,000 km in a year — from eastern Asia all the way to Southern Africa and back. It also is unusual in migrating over sea and migrates during the night (Meyburg 2010). Migrating birds leave their Asian breeding range and travel to northeast India and Bangladesh, where they fatten up while staging for overland flights over peninsular India (Ali and Ripley 1984). Subsequently, they undertake the longest regular overwater passage of any raptor, crossing over the Indian Ocean between Western India and tropical East Africa, a journey of more than 4,000 km, which also includes nocturnal flight (Bildstein and Zalles 2005). This species is finely attuned to the strong monsoon tailwinds, which results in its late arrival in eastern Africa in autumn (Ash and Atkins 2009). Migrants arrive in their southern African winter range in November-December and depart by early May (Mendelsohn 1997). This species is an "elliptical migrant" (Kerlinger 1989), and its return route back to its breeding range is largely overland and to the north and west of its southbound route (Bildstein and Zalles op cit.).

Jumeirah Dhevanafushi
Gaafu Alifu Atoll, Maldives
No. of Units: 22
Best Room: Island Revive No. 4, for sunset views and sand between your toes
Price: $$$$
Hotness Scale:
Hotel Features
The specs: An all-suite resort 30 miles north of the equator, with 22 villas on a speck of an island and 16 overwater villas a half-mile offshore.
The look: Haute tropical modern—teak-and-glass residences amid lush natural vegetation or above beautiful coral formations; ten-foot-wide beds; gargantuan marble baths with Hermès toiletries that will put customs officials on alert; private (swimmable!) pools.
The experience: Amid whispers and barbed comments (who would even think of opening a property with overwater bungalows starting at $7,500 a night in this economic climate?), Jumeirah has created the finest resort in the Maldives and one of the best in the world—for those with deep, deep pockets. The mantra about personalizing guests' stays is taken seriously here. The phones in your spacious villa (the smallest is 2,200 square feet) have one pre-programmed extension: to your butler, whose job is to understand you better than Freud ever could. Did you enjoy the Sri Lankan ale you had at lunch? It will be in your "maxi bar" that evening. How about a meal, designed by you, under the stars on your own stretch of powdery white sand? He'll orchestrate it. Ready for a dip? He'll take you snorkeling around the coral reefs that encircle the island, with some of the best tropical-fish viewing in the Maldives. And with a staff-to-guest ratio of four to one, if he's off chasing one of your whims, there's plenty of friendly help to fill in. Sure, the prices are insane—$16 for M&Ms, $1,200 for the "Make Your Stay" breakfast of Dom Pérignon and caviar—but how often can you (for a price, of course) race across sparkling aquamarine water at 40 knots in a speedboat fit for Grace Kelly, spend a day on a desert island picnicking under a tent set up just for you, and sip champagne atop a dhoni on a private sunset cruise?
If only…you could avoid the 55-minute local flight from Malé. Then again, priority seating and a private lounge at the airport soften the blow. (960-682-8800; doubles from $2,000).

Here are excerpts from recent editorials in Arkansas newspapers:
Texarkana Gazette, July 14, 2014
Final decision?
In December of last year, U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby struck down as unconstitutional Utah's Amendment 3, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman, saying it violated the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment. He issued an injunction barring Utah from prohibiting same-sex marriages.
The state appealed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and asked for a stay on the ruling pending that appeal. The appeals court said it would fast-track the appeal but declined to stay the lower court ruling.
In the meantime, hundreds of same-sex couples obtained marriage licenses and were married in Utah.
Well, Utah didn't like that very much so they asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay Judge Shelby's ruling.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued an injunction staying the judge's ruling "pending final disposition of the appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit."
Late last month the 10th Circuit announced its decision. And it wasn't what Utah officials wanted to hear.
For the first time, a federal appeals court ruled that marriage is a right not only for heterosexual couples, but for same-sex couples as well.
A historic and controversial ruling, to say the least.
That doesn't mean same-sex marriages will resume any time soon in Utah, though.
The court stayed its ruling until the state could appeal to the nation's highest court. And last week Utah did just that.
The Supreme Court is on hiatus until the first Monday in October. So there will be a wait until we know any more.
What will the court do?
Well, they can decide to hear the case. They could wait until other such cases wind their way through the appeals process and combine them with Utah's appeal. Or they may reject the appeal and let the 10th Circuit's ruling stand.
We don't see that last happening.
It looks like the question of whether gay marriage is a Constitutional right will finally make its way to the Supreme Court in its next term. And how it will be decided is anyone's guess.
There are almost certainly four votes in favor of gay marriage as a right. And four votes against it.
That leaves Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy — the court's swing vote — as the key player in this.
What will he do?
Kennedy has a mixed record on gay rights. For example, he voted to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act but voted to uphold the right of the Boy Scouts of America to prohibit homosexuals from becoming scoutmasters.
That means his vote on the Utah case is anybody's guess.
Stay tuned.
Fort Smith Times Record, July 13, 2014
Different goals should lead to different tests for alternative schools
Although we have always supported the hypothetical goal of leaving no students behind, we also have always held that in reality, not all students will make the same progress. Thus we have argued that alternative schools like Fort Smith's Belle Point secondary school, which enrolls students who do not succeed in traditional schools, should not be judged by the same criteria as traditional schools face.
Alternative schools offer direct intervention and immediate support for students who aren't going to make it without those two things. Certainly there are as many reasons to divert students to alternative settings as there are students, but Fort Smith schools Superintendent Benny Gooden, speaking last week to the state Board of Education, listed categories that comprise many of the reasons. Behavioral issues, troubles with the law, substance-abuse issues, pregnancy, poverty and homelessness are common among the students, he said, as reported in Friday's edition.
By their very definition, alternative schools serve students who aren't achieving at desired levels. The schools aim to shore up students in whatever way they need so they can achieve at those levels — and go back to traditional classrooms. To judge alternative schools by test results is illogical. Once many students reach desired scores on tests, they are returned to traditional schools, where they will again be judged by traditional standards. Moving many students on this trajectory is one measure of success for alternative schools.
But there are many others. In some cases, keeping the students in school is an end in itself. Many will get their only healthful meals of the day there. Some will benefit from exposure to admirable adult role models. Others will discover their time to find or cause trouble is limited. Some may experience coherent rules, consequences and rewards for the first time in their lives.
Election Commissioner Tony Wood could have expanded his comment Thursday to include the schools themselves when he said about the students: "I think success for these kids has a different definition."
The students who attend Belle Point are not throw-away kids; they are students who need extra care in handling. The alternative school may well be a "place of last resort," as Superintendent Gooden described it, but that does not make it the end of the line for the students. It is rather a lifeline for many and a road to a brighter future for some.
Alternative schools, like other schools and like students, need to be evaluated, but evaluating these places of special care should not be punitive, any more than assigning students to the school is punitive. We, through the Board of Education, need to identify realistic and worthwhile goals for the schools and for the students. That doesn't mean leaving them behind. It means doing all we can to help them to get to a good place.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, July 15, 2014
Bad ideas galore
It's not that all the ideas that make it onto the ballot in Arkansas are bad ones. It just seems like it this year.
Happily, a couple of proposals about legalizing marijuana aren't going to be on the ballot this November. Not enough signatures. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Arkansas.
Then there's that drive to raise the minimum wage in Arkansas to $8.50 by 2017. Even though the change could hurt a lot of workers in lower-paying jobs.
Why? Well, here's what the Congressional Budget Office said in a study earlier this year: A plan to raise the federal minimum wage might indeed mean more pay for some 16.5 million workers in this country — in the course of leaving half a million more without any job at all.
Anybody who thinks businesses that employ minimum-wage workers are just going to eat the increased expense of doing business hasn't been paying attention. It's time all of us did, even if it means taking a refresher in Economics 101.
Then there is the bunch that wants to make the whole state wet. No, no, Woodruff County, we're not talking about more rain. We're talking about booze— a commodity near and dear to many a newspaperman's heart. It's said that, back in the day, many an editor kept a bottle in the lower right-hand drawer of his desk— if only he could find it. The drawer, we mean.
And what would any confab of journalists be without an open bar to relieve the ennui of evening sessions? Answer: It would be even more boring than a confab of journalists. (We believe the collective noun for such a gathering is a clatter, as in a clatter of editorial writers.)
So on first blush, and second, and third, you would think a proposal to allow the sale of booze — excuse us, alcoholic beverages — anywhere in this good old populist/puritan Arkansas would be one that all good and true editorial writers could drink to.
Except ...
If the voters in County X choose to ban the sale of alcohol in their own county, why shouldn't they be able to? It's called local control, or, where alcohol is concerned in this state, local option.
No, it doesn't make economic sense to us, either. (Or any other kind.) Think of the loss of tax revenue pouring into surrounding counties.
Then think about all those people driving half an hour or longer to the nearest liquor store. Worse yet, think about them driving back from the liquor store after they've started imbibing. Some folks in the southern part of the state drive to Louisiana to get their booze. Laissez les bons temps rouler! In the Pelican State, liquor stores have drive-through windows — where you can pick up a daiquiri-to-go. Complete with a straw. Drinking and driving may be against the law in Arkansas, but in Louisiana it's tradition.
But there are a lot folks in this state who just don't want a liquor store on every corner. Or even beer at the nearest convenience store in handy reach of the kids.
Sure, those same counties have a lot of private clubs with alcohol permits, bless them all to pieces. As a late, great quote-machine named Will Rogers once said, prohibition is better than no liquor at all.
But why should those of us with a taste for something other than sweet tea impose our tastes on others? Why should folks living in Pulaski County, the oil patch in El Dorado or the Delta counties tell those primitives off in the piney woods or faraway hills whether to let their stores sell booze?
Answer: They shouldn't. Why not leave that decision to the locals? And learn to live with democracy. Think globally but drink locally! Those who object to living in a dry county can organize and change the law — in their own county.
Here's a better way of doing all this: A couple of groups in Saline and Craighead Counties collected signatures earlier this year to put alcohol sales on the ballot come November.
In those counties only.
Today the county clerks in those locales are verifying signatures. If enough names are verified, the people in Saline and Craighead Counties will decide the matter. Their matter.
Just as if this were a state where, as the motto says, the people rule.
Maybe there's some good reason why local voters shouldn't be allowed to decide a local issue. And if we ever hear one, maybe we'll change our early, incautious impulse to oppose this statewide proposal. But we ain't heard one yet.

In Dick Cheney's book, "In My Time," he discusses how hard it is to find a running mate. In fact, he was the person in charge of the committee to sift through the possible candidates. The task was so daunting that he eventually volunteered to take the job himself. It was extremely hard to find someone who could run slowly enough for George Jr. to keep up or who could carry him in a sack race. His book could have been named See Dick and Georgette Run.
What exactly is a running mate? I think George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson in "O" Brother Where Art Thou, when I think of running mates. IIIIIIII am a man of constant sorrow, holy moly. Okay, you may not like it, but that was pretty funny to think about.
In a recent poll, 74 percent of registered voters said the choice for who will run as the veep is one of the most important decisions a potential candidate must make. If you don't believe this, just ask John McCain or George Sr..
Isn't the relationship between being able to see Russia from your front door and foreign policy, about like watching "House" and being able to do complex brain surgery with a bad attitude? Poor ole John's book could be named, The Gomer Pile Candidate, surprise, surprise, surprise. There were more surprises in that campaign than in all the boxes of Cracker Jacks produced throughout history, and they were worth about as much. George Sr.'s book could have been named, "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" Imagine how hard it is to run a potato sack race with someone who can't spell potato.
Actually I will let that joke stand, but must take it back. Dan has gone on to write a nationally syndicated column and had several bestselling books, proving he can, in fact, find and spell potato.
So who will Romney pick as his running mate? He has many choices, and the rumor mill is churning to beat the band. There is Rob Portman, who is known as a boring white guy, not my words. He seems the most likely candidate, but is immersed in the political good ole boys system. This is a highly sought after quality desirable by potential presidents, but the last thing we, as Americans, need. Don't we need someone who is a part of the good ole boy American public system?
Bobby Jindel is my pick. He has been referred to as the Doogie Howser candidate; it's a sight better than the Gomer Pile candidate. He can't even see Russia from his front door, but if you can deal with the people of Louisiana, you can deal with anyone. That is not an insult, I have friends down there and when they read this they will smile a knowing smile. If you can catch a crawdad or an alligator with a smile on your face, you have some slight chance of surviving in Washington. Mardi Gras might be exactly the kind of foreign policy experience America's been lacking.
Tim Pawlenty and Mitt seem to be cut from the same bolt of cloth, which may disqualify him. He and Mitt can demean and talk about Obama with equal amounts of venom; America needs less venom, not more, less fighting and more cooperation. The two of them together may, in fact, doom the Republican party's chances of making a decent showing. I'm sure he's qualified; we know he can box and I believe he can do a fair 100-yard dash. Is he ready for the marathon that the 2012 campaign and the following possible presidency will be?
There are a few more, Paul Ryan, Kelly Ayotte and Mario Rubio, most, less qualified than those above. Mitt could always surprise us and pick someone, not on this list. People keep liberally throwing Condolleezza Rice's name into the mix. She has said she will never run for either the number one or two positions and she is one of the only politicians I actually believe. It's funny, I would vote for her. It's my guess she does not want to ruin her good name.
Whoever gets picked better be capable of running like the wind, because the Obama camp, Bain and possibly the law, are going to be on their tail from day one. As I understand it, the fact that Mitt was the captain and made a ton at Bain is not the issue. The issue is, did he sneak into a lifeboat dressed as a woman before the ship went down? Mitt's possible book, Run Forrest Run, or Bain Was A Pain.
I said it in 2004 the first time I saw Obama speak, and I'll say it again now. That, my friends, is your next president. We may not like it, but it's my prediction.

After three years at the University at Buffalo, Anucha Brown Sanders is moving on to a position with the NCAA. This week, Brown Sanders was named the NCAA's vice president of women's basketball championships.
In her new role, she will be the liason between the NCAA and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and the Division I, Division II and Division III women's basketball committees. She will help with "strategic oversight" of the process to determine championship locations.
Brown Sanders was the senior associate athletic director and senior women's administrator at UB. She was the adminstrative supervisor for men's and women's basketball, volleyball, softball, swimming, diving and rowing. She also worked to improve Buffalo's marketing, corporate partnerships and community relations.
"It's an exciting time for the game of women's college basketball and I am thrilled and honored to have been selected for the challenge of leading the championships into the next phase of growth and development," Browne Sanders in the release from the NCAA. "Basketball has provided me with numerous opportunities in my life and I hope to take that experience and build upon it as we enhance the student-athlete experience at all championship levels."

This thing is a peice of junk. Its heavy and awkward to use. The bleed down valve does not work!
When filling tires with shrader valves you need to place your finger over the presta valve opening or the air will escape. Not made for bicycles with tire pressurs less than 50 psi. The Park tool company really dropped the ball on this one!

Safety relays for machine safety applications
Idec HR1S safety relays are designed for machine safety applications and have instantaneous and time delay safety outputs, company said.
UL listed, CSA certified and CE marked, as well as being EN ISO 13849-1 Performance level e (PLe), safety category 4, and EN 62061 Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) compliant, Idec HR1S safety relays are reportedly designed for machine safety applications.
HR1S safety relays are reportedly predictable and controllable with several variations available including models with instantaneous (STOP 0) safety outputs or with time delay (STOP 1) safety outputs for various machine safety design requirements. Internal safety relays or other operations can be monitored with LED indicator and various auxiliary outputs.
Optional removable terminals reportedly make these safety relays easier to wire, decreasing downtime and the chance of wiring errors when replacing the unit; simply unplug the terminal and plug it into a new relay.
