Thank you so much for the practice report, Ioana! i've read it 3 times, so excited! (((:
Can't wait for this afternoon!
Wow, those photos are terrific. What lovely lines they show in those practice togs. I love the new thread title..good choice.
Addicted to FSU
Ioana talked about ample movements, that's what I love about the new SD. it marks a difference from other SD's that are very quick and perhaps frantic. also, i wish too that officials didn't show all this warmness, it doesnt sound good :-/ have a great time Ioana and Pani!
IoanaC, what do you mean by marking their territory? Did they not move out of the way for other skaters when they were skating or something? Or were they doing A spins?
I heard that in the golden days the ice dancers used to purposefully whizz past each other at the highest speed and then stop just short of hitting the others or wait until the last minute to move. The purpose was to intimidate and show you were the most confident, I guess. I think it used to happen with A&P and FP&M, maybe G&P and K&O also.
I think that was a lot better than SC.
Have to see the individual marks. Dont think they had all their levels.
Hope they get someone to bring all up to level 4.
70.65 for Tessa and Scott
I'm still not sold on their SD, but I'm super excited about their FD!
I think I just don't like the concept of their SD. I think that they skate it amazingly, but it's not for me.
Although their YP was great! On the second pattern, they almost reached the barriers on the other side of the rink because their lobe was so big!
Definitely the class of the field.............so much better than SC. I love all the little details, hand movement, facial expression, not to mention the actual skating. Good for them...........now the levels, and they will be working on them to be sure.
Addicted to FSU
Protocols are up! Tessa and Scott got hammered in the YP - only level 2 and 3
Steps level 3 as well
They will have their levels as time goes on . Better to move forward like that for them. Mark therefore were good without their levels.
One step at a time. Cannot wait for tomorrow.
I hope the video link will be posted asap, 'cause i wasn't able to watch! it must have been exquisite (:
Their SD today looked much better than at SC. Glad they changed the lift. I'm loving this program and music and think it will be gorgeous by Canadians/Worlds. Hope they can get those YP levels up.
This should show live streaming tomorrow if you want to watch the FD live!
YP1 was a level 3 with GOE of 1
YP2 was a level 2 with GOE of .79
YP1 was a level 2 with GOE of .93
YP2 was a level 3 with GOE of .79
So it seems this is something that still needs working. However, since SC their RoLi went from a level 1 to a level 4; their STw went from a 3 to a 4 and their NtMiSt went from 2 to 3 so that's three areas that they have levelled up. Still room for improvement in their GOE on each of the elements.
PCS -- a slight increase from 37.37 to 37.5 and there seemed to be a wider spread between the upper and lower GOE given by the judges at COR compared to SC although Tessa & Scott did get a couple 10s today.
Personally, I'm not too worried now that I they have finished the SD (kinda hold my breath when they skate) and see there is still room for improvement in levels and GOE. Personally, I lurves this SD.
Crazy about sports!
So happy for them that they did so much better. Would love to have seen it, but tomorrow CBC carries FD
any others Universal not available in my area? Thanks

|Seahawks Fall Twice In FIU Classic
MIAMI – The UNCW volleyball team closed out its appearance in the FIU Classic Saturday with 3-2 (25-21, 25-20, 22-25, 23-25, 15-13) loss to Alabama and a 3-1 (25-23, 25-18, 24-26, 25-20) setback to host FIU in action at U.S. Century Bank Arena.
The Seahawks moved to 4-2 on the season as they suffered their first two setbacks of the 2013 season. UNCW returns to action Friday as it opens the Hilton Garden Inn Mayfaire UNCW Volleyball Classic with matches against North Carolina A&T (2:30 p.m.) and UNC Asheville (7:30 p.m.).
Versus Alabama, sophomore Laura Steiner pitched in 24 kills and freshman Krystal Rivers added 21 spikes on the strength of a .731 hitting percentage to guide a Crimson Tide attack that finished the match with 77 kills and a .344 attack clip. Sophomore Sierra Wilson dished out 66 assists while freshman Brittany Thomas and junior Caitlin Bernardin tallied 11 digs each lead four players in double figures in that category. Thomas also added 15 kills to finish with a double-double.
Senior and All-Tournament Team selection Christi Laite tallied 21 kills, committing just two attack errors in 35 total attempts for a .543 hitting percentage, to lead a UNCW attack that combined for 59 spikes and a .287 attack clip. Junior Morgan Kilne added 10 spikes while senior Siera Young and sophomore Meredith Peacock pitched in seven kills each. Sophomore Victoria Phillips dished out 27 assists and freshman Alyssa Desjardins added 21.
"I have to give our team a lot of credit for their bounce-back mentality after dropping the first set and then also holding their composer in the fourth set when the score was tight," said Bambenek of her team's match against Alabama. "We saw action from a lot of players but Christi and Morgan were consistent with finding ways to get kills and our defense was relentless.
After falling in the first two sets, 25-21 and 25-20, UNCW rallied to take the third set, tallying 11 of the final 15 points of the frame to erase an 18-14 deficit and record a 25-22 triumph.
The Seahawks would once again battle back in the fourth set, this time closing the stanza on a 13-4 run to eliminate a 19-12 Crimson Tide cushion and force a decisive set with a 25-23 victory.
In the fifth set, Alabama would tally three of the first four points of the frame on its way to building a 9-5 cushion midway through the frame. UNCW yet again pushed back, pulling within one, 14-13, before a Steiner spike gave the Crimson Tide a 15-13 victory and the match.
"This was an epic battle and felt we played with a lot of heart," said Bambenek. "Offensively we did a fantastic job in each set but defensively we had trouble facing multiple big hitters and made some unforced errors at crucial times. Christi was a huge threat that Alabama didn't have an answer for and we had solid attacking from both the middles."
Against FIU, junior Ksenia Sukhareva tallied a match-high 19 kills while sophomore Lucia Castro and senior Kimberly Smith pitched in 15 spikes apiece for the Panthers, who teamed up to record 58 kills and a .248 hitting percentage. Sophomore Ashlee Hodgskin and freshman Anabela Sataric dished out 25 and 24 assists, respectively, to quarterback the FIU offense. Senior Jessica Mendoza finished with a match-high 18 digs and sophomore Adriana McLamb joined her in double figures with 13.
Laite once again lead the UNCW attack as she notched 17 kills and turned in a .351 attack clip. Phillips handed out 20 assists and added 10 digs for her second double-double of the season while Desjardins notched 15 assists and six digs. Sophomore Lindsay Hartmann recorded 12 digs to lead the Seahawks in that category.
FIU scored five of the final eight points of the frame to break a 20-20 deadlock and take the first set, 25-23, before using a 15-6 run to cruise to a 25-18 triumph in the second set.
UNCW battled back to extend the match with a 26-24 victory in the third set that saw the Seahawks overcome both a 20-12 deficit and match point on two occasions to record the two-point victory.
In the fourth set, the Panthers took advantage of a 10-5 run late in the frame to break open a one-point lead, record a 25-20 decision and take the match.
"FIU played a great match and felt we were constantly playing catch up," said Bambenek. "Our middles and right sides played well, but we struggled putting the ball away on the left side. Today showed the ups and downs of our sport and our team will learn from this and come back strong for our first home showing next weekend."
FIU Classic All-Tournament Team
Alabama – Sierra Wilson
Alabama (MVP) – Krystal Rivers
FIU – Kimberly Smith
FIU – Ksenia Sukhareva
UNCW – Christi Laite
HBU – Caiti Wenger

They may call themselves the Knit Wits, but these ladies are quite skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to knitting, needlework and crocheting, and some have dedicated their time and talent to make specific items for those in need. This group of remarkable women in their 70s, 80s and 90s has been getting together every Wednesday afternoon at Moldaw Residences for almost two years to knit and stay socially connected. 96-year-old Pauline Liebovitz, an active member of the Palo Alto community, helps lead the group, and Felecia Levy, 76-year-old Moldaw resident, has been spearheading a couple of specific knitting projects for children in the chemotherapy unit at Children's Hospital in Oakland and for premature babies at Stanford Hospital.
"We're not doing a lot, but it makes me feel good to know that I'm playing a role in these kinds of projects that are geared toward helping families," said Levy. "I'm thrilled to be doing this."
Having been born premature and later surviving cancer herself, Levy said both of these particular knitting projects are very close to her heart. The first project came from a request to make hats for those in the chemotherapy unit of Children's Hospital in Oakland. The second ongoing project involves making hats for premature babies, and Levy admits that fashioning the hats tiny enough in size for them makes the technical aspect of it a bit more challenging. Levy works on these items at the Knit Wits' weekly meetings but also in her own spare time. She takes bags full of these tiny knitted hats to be sold in the Stanford Hospital gift shop, and any money raised from the sales goes directly to the hospital.
"It's my dream to one day see a baby around the Stanford campus or in the area wearing one of the cute little hats that I made," said Levy. "I love that the project serves a dual purpose: the hats are helping families get cute affordable items for their little ones, and the funds raised go the hospital."
Levy said she has enjoyed meeting with this group at Moldaw but said the group leader, Pauline Liebovitz, is the real inspiration for them all. She describes Liebovitz as extremely talented in her knitting and loves seeing her stay busy at age 96 through this group.
Liebovitz and her close friend Harriet Fried used to knit together in the Palo Alto community frequently, so when Fried moved into Moldaw Residences, they organized this group to continue that enjoyable hobby and bring others in on it as well.
"It's been a great way to build friendships and make connections," said Liebovitz. "We all just do what we enjoy whether it's knitting, crocheting or needlework, and it's always good fellowship because we all get along so well."
The "core group," as Liebovitz puts it, consists of about 12 regular members, and others join on occasion as well. In fact, the group has been making more than just scarves, blankets and hats – some tightly knit friendships are being formed at these meetings."We love that our residents here at Moldaw take the initiative to form groups like this with community members in order to stay socially connected but also to help with charitable projects as Felecia is doing," said Miki Raver, lifestyles director at Moldaw Residences. "This has been a great opportunity to bring ladies together through a shared interest."

Atari offers 100 greatest hits for free to commemorate 40th anniversary
Atari's 40th anniversary is this week, and to celebrate they're offering their catalog of classic games on iOS for free. Normally the 100-strong collection goes for $9.99, and even then, most of the titles still required in-app purchases. The version available now offers all of 'em for free, so long as you keep the arcade app installed, but it will be reverting back to its original pricing sometime tonight, so old-school gamers will want to hop on this deal soon. The list of included games include all of the big name titles:
- Asteroids
- Centipede
- Pong
- Missile Command
- Warlords
- Tempest
For the next 4 days, Atari will also be giving away some sweet swag on their Facebook page. If you're looking for something a little more modern, Atari recently released a cutesy remake of Centipede for iOS.
Hey, Steve Jobs worked at Atari for a spell, y'know. Someone, for some reason, actually paid $27,500 for an original memo from Jobs in 1974 on how to fix a bug in an arcade game called World Cup.
Free (normally $9.99) - Download Now
There are 22 comments. Add yours.
Only Missle Command is free. Still have to purchase others via in-app purchase.
not true
The app store text only talks about Missile command, but a pop-up message in the app says all games will remain free until you remove or reinstall it.
Nice! Will download immediately.
Its a perfect game for the icade... Or just for anyone that wants a little nostalgia.
the app tells you that if the app is ever deleted or redownloaded the free aspect goes away
You only get to play a level or two then you have to pay. Its not free if you have to pay to play.
Do you have to go in and download each one after the game is on your phone to keep it free?
I can't get any of them to download. It keeps saying my internet connection is blocked. Only a few work
after some research, I found out this offer was only good yesterday 6/27. Way to make the post about it a day late
from within the app store it looks like you have to pay, but from within the app the downloads are free... Tempest on the iPhone rocks.... now just waiting on nintendo for Donkey Kong
Thanks I downloaded them all.
It works fine for me.
I can't get this to work. Can someone please help? I am still seeing the regular IAP.
If you have already downloaded the Atari app before, as I had, update it.
It shouldn't require any more effort than that. From then on, whenever I selected a game, it would begin downloading it.
I hope that helps.
I downloaded the app earlier today and all went well. As I select a new game it is downloaded. Lots of old style games for free as long as you do not delete the game. Not bad for free gift.
Got them all downloaded. To those who can't get them, your iDevices fail.
what case are u using ?

My three year old little girl has a mild case of atopic dermatitis and I did a lot of research on how antioxidants and whole green foods help with the condition. I've been giving her this powder in a little "green drink" daily for the past couple of weeks. I have noticed a significant improvement in her skin. She usually gets a bad flare-up when she is fighting a virus. She just got over a bad virus and since I've been giving her the greens every day this is the first time she hasn't had a flare-up. I've been taking it and giving it to my other two children as well. I have definately noticed an improvement in my overall sense of well-being and my energy levels are higher. I would highly recommend this product to everyone. I'm excited to build a strong foundation of health in my family now so that when my children grow up they won't have to deal with so many of the health issues that are plaguing our society due to poor diet and lack of nutrition. I like how this product has a really high ORAC rating and is supercharged with antioxidants. The price is very good compared with other green whole food products. As much as is possible, I'm probably going to take this for the rest of my life.
Amazing supplement

I've tried many supplements over the years and this has had the most immediate and profound impact on my health. I have used it for a few weeks, in which time my anxiety and mood has calmed and improved, my nails have grown, and my strength and energy have increased. I did notice some strong detox side effects (headache and fatigue) at first but went away, so I would recommend a new user start out w/a small amount and work up to the suggested dosage. I just purchased a second container and now my husband is using it too! I highly suggest the blender ball, also try V8 or yerba mate as a mixer. The powder mixes easily and isn't gritty. The taste is mild, sweet, grassy...husband calls it "liquid hay"! The health benefits that you really feel are totally worth it!
If you had Ten Stars, that's what I would rate ORAC-Energy Greens

After many years of feeling tired, listless and not good for anything, this "green mud" has certainly brought me out of the doldrums. I take it first thing in the AM, mixed with a little apple juice and I'd better hold on to my hat, as I'm really getting my chores done in double time. Never seen anything help my "feelings" so much. Can't say enough about this product . . . just don't take ORAC-Energy Greens away from me! It is truly a SUPERFOOD!
Massive ORAC!

Greens drinks are one of the easiest means of getting massive nutrition inside a small scoop. Just mix with your favorite beverage, or better yet, in with your smoothie for a kick of nutrition. When you look for green drinks, though, don't stop at the ingredients list. You should also look for the ORAC value, which is a measure of antioxidant strength. The higher the ORAC, the greater the antioxidant punch. Some say that we should eat in a way so as to get a minimum of 5000 ORAC each day. Here comes Paradise Herbs ORAC-Energy Greens, blowing the door off any green drink on the market. With a whopping 12,000 ORAC per Tablespoon, this is one of the most incredible supplements on the market. In my opinion, the taste is a little strong to mix only with water. I put it in my berry smoothie every day, though, and it's perfect. And knowing that I'm really packing an ORAC punch with every sip, I try never to miss a day.
A must have supplement!

This is obviously a product with benefits experienced with weeks and months of consistant use. I didn't expect, or feel, any immediate effects (energy and whatnot) with my first consumption. Approximately after two weeks of consistent use, I noticed and experienced higher energy levels, clarity of thought, mood levels, better digestion, bowel movements, skin tone, ect. These results became more pronounced with prolonged use. I like the great taste, which is a plus! Results are no doubt amplified by exercising and consuming a healthy diet.

Network Integration - I/O systems: The CTEU/CTEL is a fieldbus installation system used for networking valve terminals and inputs to a controller. This is a Control Engineering 2013 Engineers' Choice finalist.
The CTEU/CTEL system uses IO-Link technology in a way that gives customers many cost effective options. Festo introduces an additional application layer called I-Port. This allows Festo to combine a variety of fieldbus nodes, valve terminals, and input blocks, with automatic configuration. The result for the customer is simple "Plug and Work" technology at a similar cost as using multipin cables.
In addition, diagnostics are provided for faster troubleshooting, and much less time is needed for installation. The same valve terminals can be used as standard IO-Link modules, giving customers greater flexibility. If a multipin cable installation makes sense, the system allows for easy change-over.

I help businesses innovate, respect privacy, and build reputations.
Some brands are required by law to add a list of warnings and other information at the end of their ads or product labels. Contest terms and conditions. Drug side-effects. Directions to avoid misuse. They're called mouseprint when they're in text ads, and they're read out loud really fast on radio spots. On packs of cigarettes they're unqualified dares. On consumer products they're hopefully ignored.
I wonder why most marketers haven't figured out better ways to integrate such content.
After all, since the information has been deemed so important that it's required, doesn't it render the presumed "meat" of the ad content optional, by default? Yet ads treat the former like it has been surreptitiously attached or, in the case of TV commercials, use the latter's imagery and soothing music to presumably cover it up (just think of those drug company spots that slip in warnings about "erections lasting more than 4 hours" or "split personalities and out-of-body experiences" while on-screen characters hold hands or sleep peacefully).
I bet consumers recognize, perhaps implicitly, that these warnings are there for a reason. Contests are hard to win. Drugs are serious, well, drugs. Nobody should buy a mutual fund without reading a prospectus (which are full-on mouseprint, funny enough). Smoking is only for the brave and reckless.
These warnings are unavoidable branding.
You'd think brands would want their consumers to know these things, since the marketing game is all about managing expectations. Doing so is the only path to maintaining loyal repeat customers. Better informed consumers are less likely to be disappointed, and more forgiving if they are. Plus, this branding content is unavoidable because it's what ends up getting shared via social media anyway; if somebody is unhappy because they chose to gargle with your dishwashing liquid, it's still your fault, not theirs. So why not preempt misuse and potential dissatisfaction with more thoughtful and apparent attention to informing them in the first place? Further, it's easy to promise a first-place contest win or miracle drug cure, but that litany of warnings encourages most consumers to discount (or at least question) those promises. Clearer promises make for better ones. Experience marketing starts with the experience of marketing.
Maybe the real communications challenge is to figure out how to find ways to integrate the caveats and warnings into the context of the branding overall, instead of treating the required language like it doesn't matter. Conversely, if you're not required by law to tell your customers something you know is vitally important, or just plain hard to explain happily (or with a straight face), maybe you should figure out how to include it anyway.
Because either way, the branding is unavoidable.
Energy drinks have been in the news lately for supposedly killing people with caffeine, and I think they are an interesting case of branding and health hazards. The branding of the drinks already IS "crazy, high amounts of caffeine." How do you pair that with a warning label about death? How do you get people to swallow that godawful elixir without some religious thrilling sense of danger?
Marketers need to do a better job of integrated branding that is necessary, but not exactly flashy. Marketing companies do have an obligation to their brand and their company to provide vital information. www.addisonwhitney.com

Get your brackets filled out — the first games in the 75th NCAA Men's Basketball Championship will be played this evening.
This tournament looks wide open. Ten or 15 teams could be the winner. One coach says a double-digit seed could prevail even though a No. 4 seed or better has taken the title in the past 24 seasons.
Louisville has been made the early favorite by the pros in Las Vegas at 9-2 odds. The Cardinals had been listed at 3-1 but the figure dropped due to teams in their bracket, including Duke, Michigan State, Oregon, Creighton and St. Louis.
Indiana is second in the list of favorites at 7-1 odds, and three teams are tied for third at 8-1: Duke, Miami of Florida and Florida.
Wichita State and Creighton are the Missouri Valley Conference teams in the field. Other teams faced by Indiana State are Miami, Ole Miss, New Mexico, Iona, UCLA and San Diego State.
The Sycamores will be in the NIT for the third time in school history. They'll face Iowa, and Dan Dakich will be part of the broadcast team for ESPN2. He calls Jake Odum one of his favorite players and is looking forward to doing the game.
Kentucky, by the way, is a No. 1 seed in the NIT and begins play on the road.
ISU's first NIT game was played at Houston in 1977. The Cougars escaped with an 83-82 victory in Larry Bird's first year in school.
The Sycamores got a home game the following season and beat Illinois State 73-71 before falling to Rutgers on the road.
The following year, of course, ISU made its first appearance in The Big Dance. Sports Illustrated recently named the 10 greatest players in the tournament. Bird was fifth on the list.
The Top 10 starts with Lew Alcindor at No. 1 and is followed, in order, by Bill Walton, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Bradley, Magic Johnson, Christian Laettner and Jerry West.
Another team going for national honors this week is the Vincennes University men's basketball team. The Trailblazers are 30-2 and a No. 5 seed in the 24-team event and begins play tonight.
The DePauw women capped a perfect season last week by winning the NCAA Division III tournament.
Tom-Cattin' It — Lon Kruger is the coach of the Oklahoma team in the NCAA field. He now has taken five different teams to the tournament and has a 14-13 record.
Former Creighton coach Dana Altman is the coach at Oregon.
• The U.S. was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic last week. A headline in The Chicago Tribune summed up the action: U.S. effort is no classic.
• Miami went for its 22nd straight victory in the NBA on Monday against Boston. That mark ties Houston for the second-longest in the league with 33 by the Los Angeles Lakers being the record.
The Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, are in a little slump but still are in good shape in the standings with the second-best mark behind Miami in the Eastern Conference.
• Victor Oladipo of IU was named player of the year by The Sporting News.
• Billy Taylor was fired as men's basketball coach at Ball State last week. He was 84-99 in six seasons.
• Luke Fischer of Germantown was named Mr. Basketball in Wisconsin. He is an IU recruit.
• It won't be quite the same in Wrigley Field this summer. Celebrities visiting Chicago no longer will sing the national anthem at the seventh-inning stretch at Cubs' games in a custom begun by Harry Caray.
The honor will be limited to celebs with strong ties to the city or team.

The project to supply water to the 450 homes and 1,696 lots to Cumberland Cove is about half way complete.
"City water will be available to anyone who wants to hook in," said Ted Hennis, president of the Cumberland Cove Property Owners Association.
The project includes installing 65 miles of water lines along the development, down every street and to every cul-de-sac, he said.
It's a joint effort between the property owners, the city of Crossville's Catoosa Water Department and the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Development.
The effort began in 2007 when the Cumberland Cove water committee began researching water availability to the area.
"Everyone is on a well, but you don't know if that well will keep producing," Hennis said.
Several areas of Cumberland Cove have had difficulty with wells, from not enough water, rusty water or low pressure. Most affected is the Bluff area.
"The closer you get to the bluff, the harder it is to get water," said John Ludwig, chairman of the water committee.
The water committee first went to the Upper Cumberland Development District to see if there were grants available to fund the project. However, there were no grants or low-interest loans available to the private property owners association.
"That was one of the first steps, because we knew it would be one of the questions," Ludwig said.
The city of Crossville, however, as a public municipality and utility provider, was eligible for a low-interest loan and grant to fund a portion of the project. The city operates the Catoosa Water Utility department, which serves the northern area of Cumberland County.
"What a friend he was to us," Ludwig said of Crossville Mayor J.H. Graham, who worked with the property owners.
Graham said, "Safe, reliable water is a fundamental building block for every healthy, growing community. Every person desiring city water should receive it at the lowest possible rate."
Graham thanked U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis and Rural Development and the Cumberland Cover property owners for forming the partnership to install 62 miles of water lines.
Hennis said, "I think this is the first project in the state where the city and the water district and a private property owners association have come together to complete such a massive project."
The city of Crossville received a $1.2 million low-interest loan and another $800,000 grant from Rural Development to assist with funding the project that was estimated to cost $5 million.
In 2008, a vote of the membership was held to determine if they would agree to a $1,950 per lot assessment to help raise $3 million towards the costs of the project. Seventy-eight percent of those who voted were in favor, and 1,202 ballots were returned.
The POA members could choose to pay the entire assessment up front or divide it into three yearly payments, either $950, $600 and $400 or three payments of $650.
"The homeowners are funding the bulk of the project, which is subsidized by a Rural Development loan to the city," Hennis said. "It's a win-win proposal. Catoosa gets to make money selling water and the residents and the homeowners get the benefit of city water availability."
While there are 1,696 lots in Cumberland Cove, there are only 450 homes at this time.
"Many people are waiting to build until after the water lines go in," said Hennis. "The economy has slowed down construction, but I'm sure as the economy picks up we'll have more and more houses being started."
The property owners association has had to file 150 liens against property owners that didn't pay the full assessment amount. Of those, 17 Cumberland County property owners and 12 Putnam County property owners were taken to court to be found in default.
"Out of 1,696 lots, that's not bad," Hennis said. "And there are a few that have filed for hardship with the board of directors. They've been put on small monthly payments and they make those payments religiously."
And those who may not have voted in favor of the project reap a benefit, Hennis said.
"Even if they turn around and sell their lot, if the project doesn't increase the value of their property, it sure will make it more sellable," Hennis said. "We have a lot of people who come up here from Florida. They don't know what a well is. They've never had anything but city water."
In order to provide an adequate supply of water, the city is upgrading the six-inch water line along Hwy. 70 N. to Cumberland Cove to a 10-inch water line. The project includes about 10.2 miles of new water lines at an estimated cost of $2.5 million.
Monday, U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis and USDA Rural Development State Director Bobby Goode announced the city would receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds for the project through a $1.7 million Recovery Act infrastructure loan and a $800,000 grant.
Graham said the six-inch line would remain in the ground and could be used as a sewer line from the Baker's Crossroads area should the county build a new elementary school there.
Hennis and Ludwig praised W&O Construction, which won the bid for the project, on their quick and efficient work. W&O Construction submitted the low bid of $3.5 million.
"They've been very conscientious in working with the homeowners," Hennis said.
The contractors are moving at a brisk pace. They started construction in December 2009 and have already completed about half the water line installations. According to Crossville Finance Director Fred Houston, 30 water taps have already been sold along the lines, which are put into service as soon as they are installed, tested and pressurized.
The water lines are also allowing for some fire hydrants, flush valves and fill stations to provide water to fire fighters in the event of an emergency.

We know he lives in movies because we literally find him in one. Leos Carax's much-debated "Holy Motors" begins with a man (Carax himself) asleep in bed, then waking and approaching a wall of the room that looks like a forest. Knowing just where to look among the trees, he unlocks a door using a key growing from his finger. Well, isn't that what artists do? Unlock doors with their fingers?
Now this man is inside a cinema, and we meet Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), who lives in a house that seems designed by the same architect employed in Jacques Tati's "Mon Oncle." He gets into the waiting limo, driven by a taciturn woman, and we see that the back of the limo, seemingly much larger inside than the outside, is a dressing room filled with costumes and props. When he gets out the first time, he has transformed himself into a wretched beggar woman. This will be the first of his many roles, or assignments, or embodiments. He performs in bizarre and mysterious ways, linked only by the desire of a mime or comedian to entertain and amaze us. His "appointments" take him into personas so diverse, it would be futile to try to link them, or find a thread of narrative or symbolism. If there is a message here, Walt Whitman once put it into words: "I am large. I contain multitudes."
Here is M. Oscar as a madman wandering street markets and eating flowers or whatever else he can snatch up. M. Oscar in the most famous cemetery in Paris, Pere Lachaise, occupied by the dead and famous (Moliere, Chopin, Jim Morrison, Colette, Oscar Wilde). In "Holy Motors," however, the cemetery's tombstones carry no names, requesting us, to "visit my web site."
Here is M. Oscar transforming a fashion model (Eva Mendes) into a Muslim woman concealed within her costume. And that's not all that happens to her, although she adheres to the model's code and never betrays emotions or opinions. Her job is to embody a beautiful object for the purposes of others. Their travels through the city lead to the roof of the Samaritaine department store, producing stunning vistas of Paris.
Celine (Edith Scob), his reserved chauffeur, seems long accustomed to her role. Once she expresses concern that M. Oscar hasn't eaten all day. Their day began at dawn and lasts far into the night, one "appointment" after another.
This has been a year of leading roles for limousines. M. Oscar's car upstages the limousine in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis," and the journeys of both cars seem to be odysseys through their cities, for purposes not very clear to the audience. "Holy Motors" is the more entertaining and funny of the two, although some parts are not funny at all, and many laughs are of disbelief or incredulity. Both end with their limousines going home for the night, answering a question asked in "Cosmopolis," although when the limo in "Holy Motors" gets home, its day is far from over.
Here is a film that is exasperating, frustrating, anarchic and in a constant state of renewal. It's not tame. Some audience members are going to grow very restless. My notion is, few will be bored.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Staff Report
The Daily Star
---- — WEST ONEONTA — The Oneonta Town Board will have a public hearing on its proposed budget at Town Hall at 7 p.m. today, the supervisor said.
The proposed general and highway fund budget for 2013 of $2,283,837 is up about $140,000 from this year, Supervisor Robert Wood said Tuesday. The increases are tied to expenses for highway equipment and a proposed water district in West Oneonta, he said.
Wood said there isn't a change in the general fund levy but the levy for the highway is up 2 percent.
With the combined rates, a homeowner with a house assessed at $100,000 would see a tax bill increase of about $5, he said.
"We're managing our money carefully,'' Wood said.

St. Paul and Predestination
Matthew Gallatin takes a close look at Romans 9:14-21 to see whether it indeed supports the doctrine of unconditional election. What he finds is that such an interpretation fails on two counts: It does not fit with the context of the passage, and it fails to understand the verses in the comprehensive light of scripture.

NYPD desperate for cops, as many leave their 25k salary for better jobs
The city's all-out push to boost the number of cops patrolling the streets has been crippled by the NYPD's appallingly low starting salary for recruits.
Instead of adding 800 cops to the war on crime, as Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly had hoped, the department failed to increase its numbers by a single officer over the past year, the Daily News has learned.
"Starting pay was cut some 40%, down to 1986 levels. It doesn't take a genius to see this will have an impact on recruiting," Kelly told The News during an exclusive interview.
By the end of last year, the NYPD's ranks had actually shrunk by 300, despite a March announcement by Bloomberg and Kelly of what was supposed to have been the largest city-financed expansion of the department since 1993.
As a result, neighborhoods waiting for an infusion of cops will be left struggling.
The low salary was set by an arbitration panel as part of a contract settlement between the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association and the city in 2005. As they head into arbitration on another contract fight, both sides have put fixing the starting pay high on their agendas.
NYPD brass said interviews with recruits who chose to drop out of the academy found that many of them were unhappy with department's paltry starting salary of $25,100.
Again and again, the recruits said they were leaving for higher pay, though hardly glamorous jobs.
"I can make more money an hour working in my dad's grocery," said a recruit who dropped out to take a job as a sales clerk. "I'll wait, and hope they bump up the salary and then reapply. If not, I guess I'll sell Lotto tickets instead of fight crime."
About 16% of last January's class - the first to get paid the low starting salary - never got their badges. In July, 20% of the class quit or were forced out, about twice the dropout and failure rate of recent classes.
At least one police recruit has asked for food stamps, but city officials said none would likely qualify because the starting salary rises to $32,700 after six months, when the cops go out on patrol.
"I live in my dad's basement," said a Queens rookie who graduated from the academy last month. "I'm 26 years old and I'm bumming meals from my parents. I'm not sure if it's worth it."
When Bloomberg and Kelly announced the expansion plans, the goal was to get 400 additional cops on the streets by last month and another 400 on the payroll no later than this week.
While the department hired 2,983 recruits last year, it lost 3,290 officers to retirements, resignations and attrition - a net loss of 307 bodies, sources said.
Police officials told The News the department is not on pace to reach its target of having 37,838 cops on the job by Wednesday. Despite the struggles, Kelly said the quality of the new recruits remains high.
"The applicant processing people were not driven by the numbers. They were driven by quality and maintaining the highest standards," Kelly said. "You can see that in the education levels of the new classes."
But the city's largest police union argued that too many sub-par recruits are being accepted into the academy.
Patrick Lynch, president of the PBA, seized on the high dropout and failure rate of the July class.
"It shows that they have been putting anyone they could get into the academy," he said. "So many other departments in the metro area pay their police substantially more. They are getting the best candidates."
Union officials say their position is supported by the recent arrests of two rookie cops.
In September, Officer Danielle Baymack was arrested for allegedly killing her close friend and fellow officer in a drunken car crash in Long Island. Baymack, who had a checkered driving record before joining the department, graduated from the Police Academy last July.
Last week, Officer Dixon Zapata, who graduated from the academy last January, was arrested for attacking his wife in front of their kids in Brooklyn.
"There is such a scramble, a push, for bodies, there is no way they can give everyone a real checkup," said a police supervisor who works with recruits. The planned expansion of the department was designed to keep a lid on crime as the city's population expands by 200,000 over the next five years.
Though overall crime fell 4.7% last year compared with 2005, the murder rate rose 9.2%. Last week, police brass put out the word that overtime would be easier to get, ideally to allow cops to make more arrests.
"It's the old 'dollars for collars,'" said a police official who asked not to be identified. "Is some of it fueled because there are less cops out there? No doubt."
It really is sad. For that amount of pay to live in NY with such high prices? The tax rate alone is 8.75%!!

$25k is piss-poor.. dont know how they do it!The opinions expressed in this post do not reflect the opinions, views, policies, and/or procedures of my employing agency, Police Chief, or any other member or employee of my department or municipality.
At least they are paid, with our agency you go almost 4 months without a paycheck. Food and accomodations are provided on training, but no pay at all makes things difficult. But on a positive note, when your done training you sign on at 50,000 and reach top pay of around 70 in 5 years.Giggity giggity Goo!

jeez.. $25,000 is low even for my backwoods county. We're going through a pay increase, that will bring minimum pay up to $36,000 a year or so after training.. and since I'm getting my yearly merit increase.. My pay will go up to $38,000 in Feb...
My pay has jumped $10,000 in one year. NYPD should take notice to how other departments do it.
Not only does the pay suck, but I understand that they have to live in the City before they even get offered the job."I'm not a coward,
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was,
I would pass"
~Mighty Mighty Bosstones~
The $25,100 a year quoted is for the first 6 months in the academy, so figuring the class is 6 months long that means they will 'pay' $12,550 for 6 months work. That adds up to ????? $13.07 an HOUR
BUT the top pay is a measly $62,000 Thats less than my current crap hole... AND my house only cost $135,000

Shit, we have 2 SO's that are touching our county line that have less than 20k a year starting and really no promotion in sight. I am hopefully getting on with a department about one hour south of where I sit and type this message that will give me a pay increase of over $17k per year for the exact same job I am doing.

Curious - in this information age, has anyone done a salary map? You know, like the Bush/Gore election map by county in 2000?
If not, maybe someone should start such a project. And yes, I'd be the first to decry my taxes going up, but I don't see that as being a necessary outcome to better pay. I'd rather have 3 well paid cops than 5 starving.

I got rid of my land line a few years ago and my family said that they were concerned that we were only going to have a lot of the problems with our cell phones in case of an emergency, like not being able to get through to 911 if we needed the services. I said that was not true, and that we were going to take the time to go and look online to compare different phone and broadband packages to see if it was cheaper to get a house phone again after my family told me to look at what was available online. I did not think that it was going to be such a big deal for us to go and look at the different packages as it was going to appease my family and make them feel better. I told them that it was going to be good to just look at the web site that they told me to check.
When I got there, they told me that it was a really great place to search and they were not wrong, not even in the slightest bit. I told my family that it was really easy to answer a few questions about what we wanted in our internet speed and what we used it for. Then, we told them what we liked about all of our different TV channels to make sure that they would be able to include them in a package that we were looking for. I did not know what to think, other than we were looking at the different packages that they recommended and when they came back with the different packages, we were so happy. I could not believe that they were offering the great deals to us in the end.Click Here Now

FRASER, Colo. (AP) -- Authorities say a charter bus filled with more than three dozen members of a Littleton church rolled off a snowpacked roadway west of Fraser, but the few reported injuries were minor.
The Colorado State Patrol says the bus went off the side of Grand County Road 50 and came to a rest on its side in a snow drift Friday.
The bus was taking 39 people from the Foothills Bible Church to the Crooked Creek Young Life Ranch near Fraser.
The 75-year-old driver was cited for careless driving causing injury.
Investigators say neither drugs nor alcohol played a role in the crash.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — First the jobs were cut back, then they began disappearing all together.
When Spaulding Fibre finally declared bankruptcy in the 1990s, the longtime company that occupied a giant swath in the City of Tonawanda and was at one point its largest employer, sent thousands fleeing to find other ways to make ends meet.
And after the company that produced circuit boards for transistor radios shut down, it left behind the dozens of acres it occupied with more than 800,000 square-feet of buildings, and massive pollution spread across the land on its former site.
The city was left to clean up its mess.
It took $20 million in federal, state and county aid, another $700,000 from the city, and years to make it happen — most of that time spent on demolishing structures and environmental remediation.
By late last year, the infrastructure work began for a long-envisioned business park. As of last week the city etched ever closer to completing a template for it, bringing the potential for large scale job creation full circle, with water and sewer lines in place along with newly paved roads, sidewalks and curbing.
City Engineer Jason LoMonaco said all that is left to do before two- to four-acre parcels are offered up for sale to interested parties is the completion of some drainage and landscaping work.
"The first phase began in 2006, we didn't have enough money to do it all," he said. "We targeted the worst of the worst first. Overall, it's been a huge project and it's important to emphasize the tremendous amount of financial assistance from the county, state and the federal government. As it went along we were able to get the grants and complete a pretty complicated project that led to additional funding opportunities."
Mayor Ronald Pilozzi said funding was easier to come by in part because of the make-up of a steering committee that has met bi-weekly for years.
With state and county officials on that committee and a part of the the decision-making process, communication was easier and piecing together the complexities of the project became more viable.
"I just picked up the baton from Jack Gallagher," Pilozzi said of the past Tonawanda mayor.
But since that time he has become an integral piece to the collective group, hashing out a vision that he feels will one day pay off, when the 46-acre business park is filled with new employers.
"We decided that we would continue to work with the federal and state governments to basically put this property into sellable condition," Pilozzi said.
As an added incentive the city will offer real estate brokers a larger percentage of properties sold to what officials hope will be a bustling testament to a previously unusable plot of land. The decision to make it a business park in the first place was forged by the fact that it received restricted residential status, meaning there would still be limitations on what could be built due to the past environmental incongruities.
The city is now working with Buffalo Niagara Partnership and the Erie County Industrial Development Agency for marketing material and is preparing to begin an aggressive campaign in August, according to Pilozzi.
"It will be a plus for the city once we put some taxable business on the road," he said.Contact reporter Michael Regan at 693-1000, ext 4115.

When a shopper at Danny's Pawn laid a gun that he was looking at down on the counter on Nov. 3, another store visitor, later identified by Duncan police as Casey Stephens, saw it as a prime opportunity to gain possession of the gun and run.
Stephens fled the scene with the only identifying material being that he had a barbedwire tattoo around his neck and a bandana around his head, according to the report filed by Duncan Police Department. The gun was worth approximately $539.
As a part of his getaway, Stephens made his way to the intersection of 14th Street and Walnut. Blocking the intersection, Stephens forced driver Thomas Wilson to stop. Stephens proceeded to hop into the truck, show Wilson the gun and demand to be taken somewhere.
After driving around town, Wilson took Stephens to EZ Pawn to pawn something for gas. The clerk regonized the suspect and reported him to the police.
Stephens was picked up at EZ Pawn by the Duncan Police Department. He has been charged with kidnapping and grand larceny. According to Stephens County District Court records, the charges are After Former Conviction of a Felony, two or more felonies. His bond was set at $100,000 Thursday, following his court appearance. Additionally, he has been charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance, with bond set at $25,000 on this charge.
He is next scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Jan. 30, 2013 for preliminary hearing conference.

English suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst trumpeted the spirit of 1776 in her famous 1913 speech, "Freedom or Death," when on a speaking tour in the United States: "We found that all the fine phrases about freedom and liberty were entirely for male consumption, and that they did not in any way apply to women. When it was said taxation without representation is tyranny, when it was 'Taxation of men without representation is tyranny,' everybody quite calmly accepted the fact that women had to pay taxes and even were sent to prison if they failed to pay them – quite right. We found that 'Government of the people, by the people and for the people' . . . was again only for male consumption; half of the people were entirely ignored; it was the duty of women to pay their taxes and obey the laws and look as pleasant as they could under the circumstances. In fact, every principle of liberty enunciated in any civilised country on earth, with very few exceptions, was intended entirely for men, and when women tried to force the putting into practice of these principles, for women, then they discovered they had come into a very, very unpleasant situation indeed." Entire text of speech.

Two weeks ago, the only testimonial to Ron Bell at the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame was a plaque on the top row — and at some 10 feet off the ground in a low-light area, it was a strain to read.
Now, his legacy "feels alive."
That's what Bell and others believe a new video kiosk brings to the GACA Hall of Fame, which inducted six new members Saturday at the trade center in Dalton, the hall's home. Leslie Baker, Bill Holleman, Chuck Miller, Billy Peek, Joe Williams and Charles Winslette made up the Class of 2013.
The new video addition was a pleasant one for both new and old inductees. The touch screen already has a list of honorees dating back to 2007, and the plan is to continue adding classes until the first — 2001, which includes former Dalton High School football coach Bill Chappell — is represented. Guests can navigate by year and choose a specific inductee by touching his photo, which then brings up career information. Touching the photo again causes a pop-up video screen to emerge, and the induction ceremony for that Hall of Fame member is played.
"Five years ago, you would've thought this was impossible," said Bell, a 2011 inductee best known for coaching basketball for 35 years at Atlanta's Marist School. "I'm going to bring my grandchildren here and let them watch (my induction ceremony)."
Bell wasn't aware of the new feature until he talked to GACA Executive Director Terry Rogers on Friday, and he said the description gave him "the chills" in an awe-inspiring way. Before, it was tough to read the limited career information on the plaque — inductees receive a ring, medal and photo replica of the plaque — since it was on the top row and closer to the ceiling than anyone's eyes.
"My plaque is so high up on the wall," said Bell, who grew up in Ringgold. "Someone would have to work hard to see it, and then they couldn't read it. Plus, the plaques don't cover everything about your career, and the speeches tell stories. It opens that up to a live situation. ... My family, friends and former players and coaches all can be at my banquet now. It makes it feel alive."
Dalton resident Tom Bryson designed, built and programmed the new feature. He said the kiosk — which was manufactured at Dalton Metal Fabricators — costs around $5,000 and uses a Windows-based video software.
Rogers was pleased with the new element for the hall.
"It was static information (before)," he said. "Now it is live. ... As time evolves and everyone finds out about it, it will become a bigger attraction. People who came here didn't know about it before."
Winslette and Holleman were two of those who had no idea before arriving at the trade center. A high school football coach in Georgia for 34 years, Winslette won state titles at West Rome in 1985 and 1993 and accumulated a record of 262-134-3.
"The video downstairs makes everything better," he said.
Holleman coached high school soccer for 28 years in Georgia and earned a record of 607-184-50, including seven state championships.
"I think it's a great element and addition to the hall of fame," he said. "I was surprised when I walked in and saw it."
Doug Phipps, the trade center's general manager, said the kiosk has been in the works for around a year. April Bennett, events coordinator for the trade center, said the kiosk was unveiled a week ago. She thinks it better preserves the information from the induction ceremony in the Hall of Fame.
"Now you can really see them get inducted and listen to the stories told about each one," she said. "Instead of just the plaques on the walls, now you get a variety of information. Before, when people walked in and asked where the coaches hall of fame is, I used to say, 'Well, the plaques are downstairs.' Now I can show them the screen."

A blog for and about people who live in the city. A place for news and commentary about Milwaukee neighborhoods, government and urban life
Election Commission predicts a light turnout for Tuesday
Neil Albrecht, the head of the city's Election Commission, says he expects a very light turnout for Tuesday's primary election.
How light? Try 4%.
That's a huge drop from the 87% turnout in Milwaukee last November in the general election.
The reason is simple. A light ballot in Milwaukee with primary elections for a school board seat, a county supervisory seat, a Circuit Court judge seat, and the Supreme Court race.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- There are several new street closures affecting how you'll be able to get around uptown Tuesday.
The I-277 East ramp to College Street is closing, and so is College Street, among others.
But even the best laid plans run into problems with large crowds and bad weather.
South College at Stonewall was supposed to close Monday night, but that didn't happen as planned.
The DNC transportation plan called for an 8 p.m. closure to street traffic and public street parking.
The concern: Crews were working in the middle of the street a few blocks up putting in one of a handful of traffic checkpoints.
But the cars kept coming.
You can call Joyce Bolton a DNC crossing guard.
She helped guide visitors across streets near the convention center all day.
She said the most-asked question is where to park -- and the most-viewed issue is inattentive driving.
"They're looking at the stoplights and not paying attention to the police, so they'll get fussed at," Bolton said.
"I've been walking around for an hour and a half now," said visitor Trinity Stephens. "It is hard getting around now."
She was one of thousands who came uptown Monday for the first day of the DNC.
Her advice for people coming here Tuesday? Plan on it taking longer than you think to get around.
Bolton said with more closures, blockades, checkpoints and people coming back to work after Labor Day, "It's going to be chaotic."

'No choice' but to shut music shop after 13 years (From Banbury Cake)

'No choice' but to shut music shop after 13 years
7:30am Friday 3rd August 2012 in News
The rise of the Internet has been partly blamed for the closure of a music shop which has been in Banbury town centre for 13 years.
Stargoat Sound & Lighting is to shut on September 15 and move to an out-of-town business park from October 1.
The shop which has been in Church Lane since 1999,will move to Cherwell Business Village at the former Alcan aluminium factory.
Owner Paul Cox, pictured, said he will focus more on online sales at the new unit and open on Saturdays only.
Mr Cox said: "I wasn't able to keep up with my bills or pay myself for four months running.
"There is no choice about it. "If you are not paying yourself it is not a job, if you are working six, seven days a week it is not a hobby."
He said: "A lot of people have gone online, I have seen a big drop off in my customer base. It is changing times, you have to go with the flow."
Castle Quay parking and the loss of spaces to flats in Southam Road, opposite the law courts, has also hit trade, he added.

Plane through: Cessna lands on Houston golf course

The Cessna 170 was expected to be moved from Hermann Park on Tuesday. The unplanned landing of the single-engine plane happened Monday night on a flight from Lafayette, La.
