Palmer Township officials have announced that they will take debris from Hurricane Sandy.
The township has a notice posted on its website informing residents that with extensive damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the yard waste facility on Berk Street is open 24 hours a day for people to dump debris.
There is no fee charged as well.
Township officials said this will remain in effect until further notice.
Palmer Township suffered severe damage from the storm with many people still without power.
Most businesses, including the Palmer Park Mall, were closed since the storm arrived Monday night.
Palmer schools, part of the Easton Area School District, were also closed all week.

Slicing an apple will make a child more likely to eat it, says a study from Cornell University.
Refuting the idea that kids reject fruit because of the taste, the researchers found a huge increase in apple consumption in elementary schols that offered sliced apples instead of whole fruit.
Kids reported that having braces or missing teeth made whole apples hard to eat. But sales of apples increased by more than 70 percent when they were precut into six pieces.
"Making Fruit Easier to Eat Increases Sales and Consumption in School Cafeterias," Cornell University Food and Brand Lab, 4/13

In the offseason, the Twins lost Joe Nathan to free agency. They brought back Matt Capps, hoping that the toughness he exhibited by wanting to come back after a brutal 2011 will translate into improved performance in 2012. Glen Perkins went from the guy most fans wanted released last spring training to one of the best left-handed relievers in baseball. The Twins locked him up through the 2015 season with his recent contract extension. Anthony Swarzak is out of options this year and showed in 2011 that he can and will pitch in long relief, as a spot starter or whatever role he is asked. Brian Duensing moves back to the bullpen where his ability to get left-handed hitters out should again thrive.
Those four (Capps, Perkins, Swarzak and Duensing) went into spring training as givens to make the Twins Opening Day roster. After that, there are three remaining spots in the bullpen to fill, and three question marks.
Im the first one to say that spring training statistics mean very little. However, that is only true for the givens. When there are potentially three open positions in a bullpen, spring statistics tend to be pretty important. The vast multitude of bullpen arms that the Twins brought in to camp are trying to make a good impression.
Just twelve games into spring training, it is far too early to generate any certainties. However, for the most part, the Twins relief pitching has been pretty solid. There are a couple of guys whose position may have dropped a little bit in the eyes of the Twins decision-makers, but even they will likely get another two weeks to turn things around. There have been a lot of pitchers who have made an early impression for the Twins in camp.
Kyle Waldrop Something that fellow TwinsCentrician Parker Hageman tweeted last night jumped out at me. He wrote that Waldrop releases the ball at 68 and it hits the plate at just 22. That is some incredible sink, and that is why he has had a 60% ground ball rate. So far in camp, he has given up no runs on two hits in three innings. He has walked none and struck out three.
Matt Maloney When Bill Smith claimed the lefty after the Reds had released him, he was roundly criticized. Most who criticized the move now believe that he should be the Twins third left-hander in the bullpen. And theyre probably right. In 5.1 innings, he has not given up a run. He has given up three hits, walked one and struck out eight.
Jared Burton The Twins quickly signed Burton to a minor league contract. He was hurt most of the last two years, but he was a very good setup man many for a couple of years before that thanks to a terrific cutter. In four innings this spring, he is yet to give up a hit. Hes walked one and struck out four.
Jeff Manship Many forget that Manship made the opening day roster a year ago, but just five outings into the season, it was clear that he wasnt right. He was sent to Rochester and went on the disabled list for most of the season with a couple of separate injuries. He has made an adjustment to his slider which should mean more strikeouts. He gave up a home run to David Ortiz in his first inning, but that is the only run he has given up in 4.1 innings. In fact, hes given up just one other hit, walked none and struck out six.
Casey Fien Another minor league free agent signed by the Twins with big league experience (2009-2010 with Tigers), Fien has been good this spring. In 3.1 innings, he is yet to give up a hit or a run. Hes walked one and struck out three.
Brendan Wise Another minor league free agent from the Tigers, Wise has ERAs of 1.87 and 2.83 in AAA. The Australian gets a ton of movement by throwing from a three-quarter arm slot. In three innings, he has given up one hit, walked none and struck out none.
Carlos Gutierrez The former first round pick had a bad outing in the teams very first scrimmage. The manager called him out. Since then, he has been terrific, aggressively going after opposing hitters. In three innings, hes given up only an unearned run on two hits and a walk. He has struck out four.
Those seven pitchers are off to a good start and are making strong impressions. However, if any of them have a game in which they give up three runs in one inning (something relievers tend to do a time or three a year), their spring ERAs jump up to around 5.00. Thats why any time youre looking at such a small sample size, you have to take it for what it is worth.
Those seven pitchers are not the only pitchers in the equation:
Terry Doyle - The Twins Rule 5 draft pick has certainly had ups and downs in his few spring outings. He has been good, and he had a start last week in which he got hit very hard. The 26-year-old must be offered back to the White Sox. Its far too early to tell which direction the Twins are leaning with him.
Jeff Gray He is on the 40-man roster, and yet he has only pitched in two innings over two games so far. He has given up two unearned runs on two hits and two walks without striking anyone out.
Alex Burnett Gardy and Rick Anderson really believe in Burnett, and for good reason. There is no questioning his stuff. Simply, he was not given time to develop in Rochester, and I think it would be great for Burnett (and Lester Oliveros who has given up one run on four hits in three innings while striking out four and walking none) to spend a couple of months improving themselves in Rochester. Burnett has thrown 2.2 innings this spring and given up five runs on eight hits and two walks. It isnt as if it is just one bad outing; he has struggled each time he has taken the mound.
Jason Bulger Its been a rough spring for Bulger. In his first outing, he walked four before throwing a strike that Lars Anderson hit for a grand slam. He struggled again in his second outing but had a good third outing. The 33-year-old has spent parts of the last six seasons with the Angels, so it isnt as it he has just completely forgotten to pitch. But nine runs on six hits and five walks in just two innings is cause for alarm.
There are three open spots, it appears, in the Twins bullpen. There is one spot (Joel Zumayas) on the 40-man roster. Fortunately Ron Gardenhire, Rick Anderson and Terry Ryan have two more weeks to determine who will head north to start the season. A lot can change. Some of these pitchers may start getting into game situations against starters rather than against hitters wearing numbers set aside for wide receivers or offensive tackles.
The bullpen remains the most intriguing part of Twins spring training. How will it play out?
At Twins Daily, there is a lot going on. John wrote his thoughts on some of the bullpen pitchers making an impression. Nick continued his Twins position analysis by looking at Jamey Carroll and the shortstops. Left-hander Ryan ORourke writes about the first week at minor league camp. Parker asked what Alexi Casilla can do in 2012. Seth asked if there is any way that Brian Dozier can make the opening day roster.
Troy Larson asked when fans get excited about the upcoming season. Shanewahl wrote about the rise and fall of Aaron Hicks. Twins Fan from Afar asked if the Twins need to hire a sports psychologist.
In the Forums, there are a lot of great discussions being generated. Be sure to vote for and discuss the preseason AL Central third basemen. On the Farm includes discussion about the two Twins minor leaguers suspended 50 games each for testing positive for a banned substance.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 7, 2010
City Council Resolution to honor KC Municipal Court judges
The City of Kansas City, Mo., City Council will recognize Municipal Court judges for their extensive efforts to address the underlying causes of criminal behavior and other issues that erode public safety and quality of life in Kansas City. The Council resolution recognizing them will be read on Thursday, Oct. 14 at 3 p.m. in City Council Chambers on City Hall's 26th floor, 414 E. 12th St.
The resolution, introduced by Councilwoman Cathy Jolly, points out that many citizens charged with City ordinance violations have substance dependency and/or mental health issues. To keep these conditions from worsening and to reduce the potential for recidivism, judges in three specialty courts – Mental Health Court, Drug Court and Veterans Court – are helping to get to the root of these problems through various types of therapeutic approaches. Rather than impose punitive sentences upon individuals with these problems, specialty court judges often require violators to undergo treatment programs, monitor their progress (which may involve the imposition of additional requirements if sufficient progress is not shown) and/or refer the offender to community-based and governmental organizations that offer mental illness and/or addictions treatment programs.
"Municipal Court judges have been quite proactive in addressing numerous social issues, including the root causes of crime," said John Franklin, assistant to the city manager. "Having recognized the social impact they can make through the specialty courts, the judges themselves have applied for and received at least $4 million in grants from governmental and charitable agencies. These grants have made it possible to help many more people receive therapeutic interventions – thus improving the quality of life in Kansas City. The City Council's resolution, which honors the judges for this work, is richly deserved."
Media inquiries about this "problem-solving court model" should be directed to John Franklin, assistant to the city manager, 816-513-3900.

Thursday night, Wilmington officially became a "Green Enterprise Zone". It adopted the plan in response to DHL moving its operations and taking more than 9000 jobs elsewhere. That's where Mark Rembert and Taylor Stuckert come in. They're two recent college graduates who put aside their plans for the Peace Corps to help save their hometown by helping Wilmington go green.
A line of people stretched over a city block in Wilmington yesterday. Hiding their faces to protect them from the cold, they waited for food and supplies. A Christian charity group called "Feed the Children" brought in eleven semi trucks to deliver goods in response to the worsening economy in the town.
Kermit Whitt stood in line with his family, wearing a heavy coat to keep warm. He says he needs to be here because he lost his job at DHL over the summer and still hasn't found work.
Wilmington, Ohio is still suffering from the economic effects of DHL's decision to stop domestic operations at the airpark there. That's why a community organization is lobbying hard to get help from the federal stimulus package.
The group, called Energize Clinton County, is now lobbying for 30 million dollars from the federal stimulus package. They plan is to weatherize 10,000 homes and create over 1,000 jobs in southwest Ohio. Co-Founder Mark Rembert says this project could create immediate jobs.
In the southwest Ohio town of Wilmington, residents there are feeling the country's struggling economy more than most. International shipping company DHL is reducing its domestic operations and laying off over 8000 jobs at the Wilmington Hub. But it's not all doom and gloom for the community, where another vision for the future is beginning to gain traction. Two recent college graduates have formed an initiative to redevelop Wilmington into the nation's first "green enterprise zone", creating a new industry and more jobs .
Few places are feeling the grim economy as directly as the southwest Ohio town of Wilmington. Last week, international shipping company DHL announced that it will be reducing its domestic operations and laying off over 8000 jobs at ABX Air and Astar, two companies serving DHL at the Wilmington hub. While not entirely unexpected, the news confirms the fears of the soon to be displaced workers, and the potentially devastating effect on the town itself. As the reality of the situation sets in, community members grapple with what's in store for the future of Wilmington.

The Southeastern Community College basketball team entered the final two weeks of the regular season with a killer slate of games ahead of it.
First the Blackhawks had Region XI foe Marshalltown at Loren Walker Arena. Fifteen hours later, fourth-ranked (Division II) Kirkwood came to town. Both teams had defeated SCC on their home floors earlier in the year. Then two days later, undefeated and second-ranked (Division I) Kankakee, Ill., entered Loren Walker Arena.
The Blackhawks passed the first two tests, then used a strong second half Tuesday night to dismiss the Cavaliers 82-65 and pick up a strong wave of momentum heading into the regular-season finale Saturday at Iowa Western.
Kankakee kept the Blackhawks on their toes in the first half, showing an unexpected look.
"They came out and surprised us with that 1-3-1 zone. They were very big so it was hard for us to penetrate and try to kick it. But we were doing the best we could," SCC freshman Jordan Aaron said. "We had to get the ball moving and we were able to score."
Aaron was part of the duo who helped the Blackhawks pull away from Kankakee. He and sophomore Paris Gulley scored 14 straight points to extend SCC's lead to 10 points. The Cavaliers were never able to make a run.
"We were getting the ball moving, setting screens, getting each other open," Aaron said. "They came out in a man and that's what we were looking for them to do. We practiced that in practice so it was easy for us to score."
"Jordan came through in the second half," said Gulley. He and Aaron each scored a game-high 21 points.
• • •
A LONG ENDING: The Cavaliers, despite being down 70-59, began fouling the Blackhawks with 3:00 to go. SCC went 12-of-20 from the line, but held Kankakee to just six points over that span.
After Jamil Thornton scored off of a David Hanson miss with 9.9 seconds left made the score 81-65, Kankakee called a full timeout. Then another. Then another.
The Cavaliers burned their timeouts, then came back onto the floor and immediately fouled Aaron.
"I was a little confused. I didn't know what he was doing," Aaron said. "Whatever he was doing, it was cool."
• • •
SOPHOMORE RECOGNITION: The Blackhawks and the Loren Walker Arena crowd honored the six sophomores — Tomas Bruha — who will play for Tulane next season— Gulley, Mansa Habeeb, Mason Leggett, Rinaldo Mafra, and Abby Ruple Jr.
The five — minus Bruha, who is out with an ACL tear — left to a standing ovation. They combined to score 51 points, 36 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals.
More importantly, they have provided invaluable guidance to the freshmen.
"The sophomores were real big for us this year. They helped the freshmen a lot in practice being ready for these big games," Aaron said. "They were really an inspiration to us and I'm going to miss playing with them. But we're going to finish this year out strong."
Two very special people were in attendance for Sophomore Night.
Gulley's daughter, Amiyah, and Ruple's son, Jordyn, watched their dads take down Kankakee.
"Knowing my daughter was in the crowd, it was special," said Gulley.

Microsoft Defends Halo 3: ODST's $60 Price Tagby Chris Faylor, Jun 12, 2009 2:25pm PDT
"We do not view this as a $60 title," Joe Staten, of developer Bungie, noted shortly after the revelation of Halo 3: ODST. Bungie's Paul Bertone then described the single-player portion of the stand-alone prequel as "a three to five-hour expansion pack."
Last week, however, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox 360 shooter will in fact sell for $60--with a $100 collector's bundle packing an exclusive ODST-themed wireless Xbox 360 controller--when it launches on September 22.
Explaining the higher-than-expected cost of the game, Microsoft told Joystiq:
At the time of those statements, the overall scope of Halo 3: ODST was not yet finalized, and since then the project has grown increasingly more ambitious. We believe this standalone experience is much more than just an expansion. Halo 3: ODST provides a new campaign from the point of view of an entirely new character. Combine that with three new multiplayer maps, the entirely new cooperative mode called Firefight, and the complete Halo 3 multiplayer collection on a standalone disc, we feel this is a good value and tremendous addition to the Halo franchise.
That Firefight mode Microsoft mentions sees up to four players facing off against "increasingly challenging waves of enemies," similar to Gears of War 2's Horde mode. Meanwhile, the game's single-player component has players exploring an open-world rendition of New Mombasa and reliving the experiences of missing comrades.
Along with the above, Halo 3: ODST will also pack multiplayer beta access to Bungie's next Halo game on the Xbox 360, Halo: Reach, of which almost nothing is known.

Heartworm disease diagnosed in every U.S. state, veterinary survey reports
Conducted every three years since 2001, the American Heartworm Society's (AHS) Heartworm Incidence Survey was created to track trends in heartworm incidence. The data was gathered from more than 5,000 veterinary hospitals across the country reporting clinic testing and heartworm-positive dogs and cats.
Weather patterns, says AHS president and veterinarian Wallace Graham, is believed to be influencing mosquito populations. "The pattern of heartworm incidence overall was similar to that of previous years," he says. "We believe that because the summer of 2009 was cooler in some areas of the country and drier in others, mosquitoes — and heartworm — were somewhat more concentrated in areas with nearby standing bodies of water."
Study supervisors noted that survey clinics reporting low numbers of heartworm-positive animals often sat side-by-side with clinics with high numbers, AHS reports in a prepared statement.
By contrast, Graham says, the previous 2007 study reflected the homogenizing effects severe weather can have on mosquito populations. In 2007, the fallout from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had far-reaching effects on mosquito vectors and heartworm transmission.
"AHS recommends that veterinarians be vigilant about recommending annual heartworm testing and year-round use of heartworm protection. Without such vigilance, heartworm incidence numbers could climb higher than ever before," the association says.

Turkey prices range from 49 cents to $3.29 per pound this week at the grocery stores in and around Foxborough.
Here's a sampling of turkey prices (per pound) at Stop & Shop, Big Y, Trader Joe's, Shaw's and Hannaford's.
- At Trader Joe's, all natural, brined, fresh young whole turkeys are $1,99 per pound.
- At Stop & Shop, Nature's Promise is $2.59 per pound or $2.29 with a card. A fresh Stop & Shop turkey is $1.29 per pound and a frozen Stop & Shop turkey is 59 cents per pound.
- At Big Y, there's a special offer for Big Y Frozen Turkey at 59 cents per pound until Nov. 21 or $1.49 per pound.
- At Shaw's, fresh Wild Harvest turkeys are $2.99 per pound or $2.49 with a card, fresh Jennie-O for $1.39 or 99 cents with a card and frozen Honeysuckle for $1.19 or 69 cents with a card.
- At Hannaford's, frozen Marval turkeys are 49 cents per pound (limit one per person) and Hannaford Premium Frozen turkeys are 69 cents per pound.
Both Shaw's and Stop & Shop advertise they will match competitor's prices.
"We will match any competitor's turkey coupon or advertised price," according to Stop and Shop's advertisement.
"We will not be undersold on turkeys," said Shaw's advertisement. "We'll match any competitors price."
Some of the prices listed here require minimum purchases and quantities could be limited. There are also other brands available that are not listed at some stores.
Expect turkey prices to be slightly higher this year, reports the American Farm Bureau Federation, rising from $21.57 to $22.23 for the average 16-pound turkey. The 66-cent price increase is attributed to a slight rise in demand, rather than a supply shortage.
For most American families, the turkey remains the main attraction and most expensive part of the meal, according to the AFBF.

My name is Martyn, and Ive been a spider-man fan ever since I was a kid. Im 50 now, and still read the comics, and love the movies. I was sad that Gwean died at the end of part 2. But I believe4 that was a nessacery loss for spider-man to get stronger in character. I am looking forward to part 3. I think him fighting rhino is a good chose. spider-man is my pure favorite super hero. I hope that Spider-man continues to grow in populariaty, and I hope they make many more movies to come.
I love spiderman so much I make a spidercar
Did ultimate spiderman get canceled? Haven't seen a new episode in forever..
Oh, and i don't know what history you think they're changing as Gwen dies in the comic book .You didn't see it coming?
One of my favorites heros spiderman
spider man is my favorite character in the marvel universe
emma stone SHOuld play Mary Jane in The amazing spiderman 3. She just needs her red hair and boom! :)
It sucks that gwen died but the new spider man 3 I cant wait until it comes out ol.
I was socked when gwen died wow
i honestly cried when Gwen died :(
We just saw Amazing Spirdenman 2 and we are so dissapointed about the sudden death of Guen !!We grown up with Spiderman and you had no right to change the whole story with the death of Guen !!I reccomend you to find a way to bring her back in the next Spirdeman or else you are going to lose a lot of your funs !!Also Every heroe-either in movies or in real life heroes-need an elegant and smart woman in their side in order to move forward and succed ..
I'm taller than spider-man!!! <3
I think the New Amazing Spider-man suck. Been waiting all this time for something new from spider-man and I hated it, a cartoon cover and the story was junk. And adding the Inhuman was a joke. I thought I would buy it any ways. I will never buy another copy of amazing spider-man.
yeah! i like spiderman too!
@SpiderDan_3 yeah a best súper hero is my favorite hero, andrew garfield is the perfect role for spiderman
@SpiderDan_3 andrew garfield is perf
@Spider-MenJacob good one but you arent fooling anyone trust me
@spidersyed111 i love DC and MARVEL how can you compare them????
@Spiderman7330 thats the only reason?
really? that's cool!
@AmazingSpideyFan100 she shouldnt though because she played gwen that is just a stupid suggestion she cant play two different people in the same movie!
@Riddix Im so happy that also other people understand how difficult is for us the lost of Guen in that movies..
@pyro-elia Are you saying that you are such a big fan of Gwen and of the heritage of Spider-Man that she should have not died?
κελλυ εντ βιλμα χιαρ. γιου σιμ λαικ ριλι γκουντ γκαιζ! γουι αγκρι γουιθ γιου! σιφταρια φορ δε γουιν! πυρο - ελια !
@princessbenignus But you 're fooller than everyone !!
@pittlee As well, adding the Inhuman #1 may be a way to introduce fans to a new and brilliant title that's artwork is done by someone brilliant like Joe Mad, and many people think that it is a brilliant title and has so much potential.
@pittlee Well maybe you just have trouble seeing in that basement that you are living in, because there are many people, including the heads and story writers in the Marvel industry that think that Humberto Ramos is a brilliant comic artist, he brings the kind of playfulness and fun to Spider-Man that is needed, and to have a brilliant artist like J.Scott Campbell or Alex Ross produce artwork for the company comes at no small fee, so maybe you should get up out of your troll/fap chair and maybe appreciate the work that people have aspired their whole lives to doing and think about how much of a privilege it is to someone to be working on a brilliant character like Spider-Man. As well the company would not have put or kept Humberto Ramos on the Amazing Spider-Man project if they did not love his work.
@pyro-elia @Riddix Thank you people

Do you own a Solar Dancing Flower that doesn't seem to want to dance? It could be an unhappy (defective) flower, but chances are your Solar Dancing Flower just needs a little more love.
First, check the time of day and the weather outside. Solar Dancing Flowers work best under direct sunlight, so your flower may not dance as well on a dark and cloudy day. Your Solar Flower does not have to be outside to move: these flowers love to dance on your car dashboard, near a large window, or under a bright incandescent desk lamp (but sunlight is always best). Unfortunately, fluorescent lights alone don't always make a Solar Dancing Flower happy, so be sure to let in the sunshine!
Next, turn the flower towards you and the solar panel facing the light source. You can also wipe the solar panel with a dry cloth to clean off any dust and fingerprints. Solar Dancing Flowers do not use batteries and they don't need to be charged up, but giving them a gentle nudge can help get them going.
If your flower is still not dancing, be sure to double check (and triple check) your surroundings. Solar Dancing Flowers do not work well in dungeons (yes, we know, your office sometimes feels like a dungeon), basements, caves, or during the nighttime.
Insider Tip: We shot our Solar Dancing Flower videos in a regular office with overhead fluorescent lights. Our secret: we added additional desk lamps to the "set". A couple of the videos were shot near an open window.
We hope these tips help make your Solar Flower dance. You can also little background music for your flower. We prefer music of bongo drums, ukuleles, and synthesizers. Occasionally we turn on a little bit of Reggae music. Now it's time to dance little flower, dance!

Romney's Bain Advisers Aided China, Russia Growth
By STEPHEN BRAUN, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Bain & Co. head in the early 1990s, Mitt Romney presided over the corporate strategy firm's expanding operations into China and Russia, helping their initial attempts to move into the world's free market system.
Bain's expansion abroad under Romney's leadership came at the same time he was rescuing the firm from an internal financial crisis. Now, almost 20 years on, the Republican presidential nominee views those two countries with suspicion.
[VIEW: Gallery: Obama, Romney A Cartoonist's Punch Line]
In his campaign, China and Russia are prime targets for criticism. Romney says China is an unfair economic competitor and should be charged with currency manipulation. Russia, he says, is "our No. 1 geopolitical foe."
In 1993, under Romney's oversight, Bain branched out in Beijing, where the firm's consultants held a series of management seminars for Chinese government trade officials, according to documents, interviews and media accounts. At the same time, Bain consultants were advising Russian officials and conducting seminars to aid the post-Soviet business privatization campaign, according to State Department files.
Bain joined a 1990s gold rush of U.S. consulting companies that tutored emerging post-Communist nations in Western management structure and strategy. Former U.S. diplomats and experts in the Chinese and Russian economic systems say Bain's involvement came at a critical point when both governments sought Western intervention to absorb fundamentals of capitalism.
[READ: Rick Newman: Mitt Romney's Risky Business Biography]
"The Chinese got a lot of advice from a wide array of U.S. consulting shops and it had a significant impact on China's ability to develop a more efficient market-oriented economy," said Kenneth G. Lieberthal, a veteran China expert at the Brookings Institution. "The consultants were all trying to get in on the ground floor and build relationships with the government."
How useful Bain was to China and Russia in that early period is not easy to assess, mostly because of similar roles played by other strategists and a lack of details about Romney's precise role and the advice provided by his consultants. Both Bain & Co. and the Romney campaign declined to disclose specifics about Romney's involvement and the company's performance. Chinese government officials were unavailable to comment on their dealings with Bain.
Romney has not talked publicly about Bain's expansion into China and Russia or his oversight of the firm's moves there. In his book, "No Apology," Romney describes China's economic success as "free enterprise on steroids." During the campaign, he castigated Chinese "cheating" on trade, and accused Beijing of cyberspying and intellectual property piracy. He also warned of the economic leverage posed by Russia's exploitation of its natural resources.
Although it is not clear whether Bain's 1990s work abroad conflicted with Romney's current stances, Bain's presence in both nations could complicate Romney's foreign policy critique that President Barack Obama has shown weakness in economic and political dealings with the two powers.
[READ: Opinion: Mitt Romney's Certainties: Bain and Taxes]
"It seems a little hypocritical to be developing economic connections with the Chinese and helping them move into the private sector, then turning around years later and assaulting Obama for being weak on China," said former Tennessee Sen. Jim Sasser, a Democrat who was the Clinton administration's ambassador to China in the mid-1990s.
Bain & Co. is a separate operation from its spinoff, Bain Capital, the private equity investment company founded by Romney that has drawn fire for mass layoffs and overseas job shifts at some of the companies it bought. Romney was a Bain & Co. executive until 1984, when he left to start Bain Capital. He returned to Bain & Co., announced in January 1991 as chairman and chief executive, to rescue the firm from financial turmoil. He negotiated a settlement involving Bain partners, the firm's lenders and federal bank deposit insurers.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice-presidential running mate Rep. Paul Ryan.
NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 8:15 PST. The president sent a message on Twitter at 8:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you."
The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from President Obama attacking Romney's business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama's handling of the economy.
The race tightened during the final months of the campaign, with gaffes and surges from both candidates. After a weak performance after the Republican Convention, Romney surged following Obama's listless performance after the first presidential debate. Nevertheless, the president cemented a lead in battleground states heading into Tuesday's election.
Obama took a dominant lead in early returns in Washington state with 55.18 percent of votes to Romney's 42.81 percent, awarding Obama the state's 12 electoral votes.
Obama's performance in the state wasn't surprising, considering Washington has voted for the Democratic candidate in past presidential elections, dating back to 1988.
J.R. Rothschild of Kenmore, a Kenmore neighborhood team leader for Obama said "Tonight's numbers are really exciting...It proved that the grassroots efforts work. We worked really hard."
Mario Brown of Edmonds served as an Obama delegate at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. representing the 32nd Legislative District this year.
"It makes me proud of the people not just what I did, it's what they did," Brown said. "A lot of money was spent. At the end of the day it wasn't money that made the difference. After Obama gives his victory speech, every American should give theirs because its the people who won."

During a court hearing on January 2nd, a motion was filed to dismiss the Tampering with Physical Evidence count in the case of 33-year-old Michael Leveque.
Leveque was arrested on charges of Misconduct Involving Controlled Substances in the Second Degree, Tampering with Physical Evidence and Driving with a Revoked License April 3rd.
Beth Ipsen with the Alaska State Troopers says it was a joint investigation which led to the finding of 79.8 grams of heroin.
Ipsen: "It was a joint investigation between the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Kenai Police Department, Soldotna Police Department and Alaska State Troopers Statewide Drug Enforcement Unit. Basically what happened is that this resulted in this coming out of a suspicious package that was identified by a U.S. Postal Inspector that was destined for a Soldotna address."
The package was seized by local authorities and tested positive for heroin however the package delivered was a false drug equipped with a tracking device. When he found the device Leveque removed the batteries and took it to a local store to find out what it was.
According to court documents, the most recent motion to dismiss the tampering charge regards the fact that the defendant did not know what the device was therefore could not have intent to tamper with evidence.
** Comments on this story do not represent the thoughts and / or opinions of KSRM Radio Group, Staff, Management or Sponsors. **
Keep drug dealers off the streets of our town.
Yep keep letting the drug dealers and addicts free its so sad how they have taken over kenai you can't even go to the gas station without seeing a junkie. I know someone they just let off with intent to distribute meth and heroin they got all but one charge dropped and are out doing it again…. The justice system needs to step up!
The justice system is a joke, there is no thought at all to public safety. It's the back door deals made by the DA's and public defenders, most of whom are all fishing buddies. This crap needs to stop, when the police and troopers spend time and money arresting and investigating these dirt bags then those are the charges that need to stay, no more plea deals and dropping charges, take it to trial and lock these scum bags up, make them do some real time
Well said!

Take a SMART approach with compressed air leaks
Measure the problem, then set out on a repair journey
With increasing market expectations associated with energy efficiency and sustainability, most corporate business reviews include a summary of energy conservation projects and performance. When the decision is made to identify additional savings opportunities, fixing compressed air leaks is flagged as an opportunity to deliver savings quickly with minimal investment.
The desire to eliminate air leaks is echoed in discussions with customer focus groups and market research projects that seek to identify unmet needs of the industrial consumer. If it is generally accepted that compressed air leaks are a waste of money and easily repaired, why do they still exist?
As an organization with dedicated engineering resources focused on the assessment of compressed air systems to help customers improve efficiency, reliability and productivity, compressed air leaks are a routine topic of discussion among assessment engineers and compressed air users. Working with customers in North America, Ingersoll Rand developed a new leak assessment service-offering designed to help industrial customers manage air leaks more effectively.
As part of an ongoing effort to iteratively advance the efficiency and effectiveness of our leak assessment program, data from every recorded leak is collected and compiled in a central database. After collecting data from several hundred leak assessments, an analysis of thousands of recorded leaks identified trends and opportunities in the battle against compressed air leaks. These results are segmented into two areas—recorded leaks and the process of leak repair.
Identifying common leak locations
The data analysis revealed the majority of leaks—by volume and frequency—occur at the point of use, as illustrated in the Pareto chart (Fig. 1).
As shown in Fig. 1, the filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) is the largest culprit of compressed air leaks, closely followed by the threaded joints along pipe drops and connections to pneumatic equipment. The point-of-use valves used to control actuation of single or multiple pneumatic devices is a close third.
On average, these three leak categories represent over 80% of the leaks identified in an industrial facility. The quick-disconnect type fittings, push-lock tube fittings, and hose/tube leaks are considered by many to be the most common components prone to leaks. They are identified as unique leak types segmented in the data. Contrary to common belief, these three applications combined represent only 16% of all identified leaks.
It is important to note that the analysis is based on data recorded and observed during leak assessments. The data does not differentiate between recurring leaks that are repaired frequently from a leak that has grown over time. Any application located very close to an operator has an increased probability of being identified and repaired. Therefore, the recorded data suggests that FRLs, control valves, and point-of-use threaded joints represent the largest source of leak repair opportunities that are not addressed.
Technicians use ultrasonic leak detection equipment to estimate leak volumes during assessments. To deliver consistent results, technicians train to use a standard process and tools. Technicians record the pressure at each location and utilize it to calculate leak volume with improved accuracy over more common methods that assume a constant pressure for all locations.
The data was compiled and summarized graphically in Figs. 2-4 by leak category, and then segmented according to leak volume and weighted frequency of occurrence.
According to the recorded data in Figs. 2-4, the average leak volume is 3 scfm for all leak categories. This implies there is no advantage to targeting one type of leak in hopes of delivering improved results relative to the number of leaks repaired. The number of leaks less than 1 scfm is very low, but this is influenced by the leak assessment process.
The cost to repair a small leak can exceed the savings potential beyond a site-specific financial threshold. Consequently, the majority of customers chose to not record these smaller leaks during the leak assessment. Another issue is being able to physically detect the leak. When a leak is less than 1 scfm, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to feel the leak and isolate the area that needs repair. There is no value in identifying and tagging leaks that will not be repaired.
Prioritizing leak repairs
To be efficient, leaks scheduled for repair should be prioritized by measured volume and ease of repair. This prioritization delivers the best return on time and effort. Referencing Figs. 2-4, the number of leaks larger than 6 scfm for all categories is very low, but this can be attributed to two influences: larger leaks are more audible, increasing awareness and accountability to repair the obvious energy waste; and as a leak increases in volume, so does its potential to negatively influence the application. As a result, many larger leaks are repaired to correct a performance issue, not to deliver energy savings.
Pareto law, often referred to as the 80/20 rule, is frequently quoted in regard to compressed air leaks. The assumption states that 80% of the total volume of air being wasted through leaks can be eliminated by repairing 20% of the identified leaks. The recorded data suggests that leaks do not adhere to this assumption.
To provide a simple prioritized summary of leaks from each assessment, recorded leaks are sorted by volume and summarized graphically using a Pareto chart. The data compiled by individual leak assessment and total recorded leaks for all assessments consistently follow an 80/70 relationship, where 80% of the total volume can be eliminated by repairing 70% of the leaks. This is very different from the 80/20 assumption that many follow.
As the summary of leak categories in Fig. 1 illustrates, almost half of all leaks could be reduced by implementing an FRL maintenance program. Considering most facilities use standard FRL models and sizes across an entire facility, a maintenance technician equipped with several repair kits and replacement filter elements could easily fix a large number of leaks while simultaneously minimizing pressure variance and losses at each FRL station. This can be accomplished by segmenting FRLs by location or application, then scheduling annual filter replacements and leak inspections. Valves and threaded joints adjacent to the FRL should be included as part of the annual FRL preventive maintenance.
Using a SMART process to repair leaks
It is common to have a disassociation between desired results and the interpretation of cascaded actions executed in industrial facilities. For example, most facilities want to save money by eliminating or minimizing the energy consumption associated with compressed air leaks. In order to achieve this goal, most facilities will invest in an ultrasonic leak detection tool maintenance personnel can use to locate and tag compressed air leaks.
Some organizations will contract an outside service organization to perform a leak survey to identify and tag all of the leaks. However, placing a tag on a leak has no impact on the monthly utility bill. Energy savings cannot be realized until field-level actions are aligned with the desired results. In this situation, finding all of the leaks becomes the interpreted objective, with leak repair an assumed result. It is important to note that identified leaks must be converted to a reduction in compressed air demand with a measurable decrease in compressor supply energy to produce energy savings.
Industrial facilities should employ the SMART planning process to achieve energy conservation from compressed air leaks. SMART is an acronym used by many organizations to create objectives with a high probability of success. A SMART objective should be:
- Specific
- Measureable
- Agreed-upon
- Realistic
- Time-bound.

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.

This trophy requires time or lucky or both, and for me it is the hardest trohpy to get int Tekken.
Trophy information:
To get this trophy you need to defeat Devil Jin in his campaing stage. This stage is set in a moving train and only in two of its wagons. The enemies here are powerfull demons that respawn in waves set but an unknow timer, this is the big difference between this stage and the others, because in the others, enimies will respawn after you killed all the enemies of a prev wave or if you reach a specific location. If you didn't choose Devil Jin as your personal character at the beginning of the campaing, you won't be able to get the teatre gold trophy until you pass this stage neither the silver campaing completion trophy.
- Something you should know: You can't beat this level without items above B. And this is why I meant by saying this trophy requires time, in order to beat this stage you need to unlock S or A or B rank itemas and select them in your character and in you ally (you have to unlock enough powerfull items for both). I recomend to play the other extra levels to unlock better items and in hard if you can. For this stage use items with that gives characters better health, strenght and endurance, also electrifying and freezing powerups if you can.
- Try to find a player that suits you, but the key part here, you need to learn combos that hits enemies in LOW parts. Since you can't crouch, you will need a character that with a specific combo move can do lower hits. And also combos that throws enemies into the air. The union between both wagons is the perfect location to fight enemies since you can throw them out of the train with the right move (actually I defeated Jin by throwing him out of the wagon). I tried many characters and I found Eddy to be the best of all since his combos hits low parts and can push enemies out of the train.
- Try to stay fighting in the open wagon and the union of both as recomendation since you can throw enemies out of the train. I found nearly impossible to defeat Jin with hand combat, he appears with respawning demon bodyguards. Your best chance to clear this stage is to throw Jin out of the train. (This is how I did it)
- Make your ally (Alissa or Lars) as porwerfull as you, he/she will aid you killing demos alot in this stage. Do not let them do all the work or they will die, if you see you are beginning to get separated from your partenr by the enemies, stop fighting them and go help your ally, he/she is your best weapon to defeat Jin.
- Use the GAU weapon in the secong wave of enemies. Kill the first wave of enemies and go get faster this weapon and use it yo kill the next 2 waves (or most of them).
- Try to kill your enemies faster. As I said before the respawn by time, if you do not kill them fast, in no time you will be defeated by numerous enemies.
- Last but not least. Have faith in you!!!
Well those are all my tips. Good Luck..

Laid Off Baby Boomers Seek Entry-Level Jobs
Those that have jobs are delaying retirement
When you're laid off at age 50 or older it can be tough to find a new job with the same level of seniority. Some out-of-work baby boomers are now applying for positions on a lower rung of the organizational ladder. The majority (63 percent) of workers age 55 and older who were laid off in the last 12 months say they have applied for jobs below the level at which they were previously employed, according to a recent online survey of 921 laid-off workers by Harris Interactive and CareerBuilder. About 44 percent of the baby boomers surveyed said employers told them they were overqualified for the desired position.
A related survey of 2,667 hiring managers and human resource professionals with influence in hiring decisions found that just over a quarter have received entry-level job applications from workers over age 50 (26 percent) and retirees (11 percent). A few employers (7 percent) even said older workers have applied for internships at their organizations.
[See Internships for Elders.]
Most of the hiring managers (65 percent) said they would consider the experienced candidates, even if they are overqualified for the position. About 29 percent of the employers surveyed have hired a worker age 50 or older for any permanent position within their organization ranging from entry-level to senior-level to consultants over the last six months. Only 4 percent of the hiring managers say they have hired interns over age 50, but 55 percent would be willing to consider older workers for their internship programs.
Some of the baby boomers who were laid off in the last 12 months have managed to find new jobs. Unfortunately, almost half of them (48 percent) took a pay cut. Another 40 percent of the baby boomers landed positions with similar pay and 13 percent even boosted their earnings. Those that didn't find jobs say they are considering relocating to another city or state to find employment (41 percent) and starting their own business (23 percent).

Employers are also receiving requests from current workers to stay with the company longer. About 21 percent of the managers surveyed said that current employees approaching retirement age have asked to postpone their retirement in the last 6 months. Many of the employers said they were open to postponing retirement dates to hold on to their employee's intellectual capital (65 percent), so that the older workers can help train and mentor others (61 percent), because these workers know how to weather a tough economy (42 percent), and for more time to transition responsibilities (36 percent).

Tony Gonzalez did not participate in the Falcons' player-organized workouts this offseason — he has been at home in California working on growing the sports nutrition company, All-Pro Science, he co-founded in 2009 — but he has been in touch with Matt Ryan, Gonzalez told PFW this past week.
The Falcons are going to be considered contenders in the NFC again whenever next season begins, and Gonzalez said there's no doubt in his mind that Ryan is capable of leading Atlanta to a title this time.
"He's ready," Gonzalez said. "He's at that point in his career where, like most players, you really don't come into your own as a football player in the NFL until right around Year Three, Four, Five. Usually quarterbacks, through history, they usually take three, four years to really hit that peak. Matt, he's at Year Four, and he's just going to keep getting better. I think the Falcons, (GM) Thomas (Dimitroff), has surrounded him with some really good players."
Ryan was named to his first Pro Bowl last season and helped guide the Falcons to a 13-3 record and the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but Atlanta was blown out by the Packers at the Georgia Dome in the divisional round and Ryan's playoff record fell to 0-2.
Ryan did show great improvement in the regular season, however, and Gonzalez expects the QB will make another significant leap, perhaps as early as this year.
"He already is a really good player," Gonzalez said. "He went to the Pro Bowl last year, but I'm talking like a Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers — he's going to be up there with those guys if things go the way I think they can."

Local guest columnist
November 22, 1963, is burned forever in my mind. I was 12, school was tedious. We were all there when the principal called all staff to the office.
That had never happened before — no adults to watch over us ... they were all in the office. When Mrs. McKinley came back she was visibly shaken. She asked us to bend our heads in prayer because President Kennedy had been shot. The principal came back over the loud speaker to announce that the buses were coming for us and we would be going home early.
The ride home was quiet. Nobody spoke; we just all kind of sat and wandered. The bus driver I remember was crying. We all knew something had changed forever and it wasn't good.
When I got home, my mother was already in front of the TV and was holding my younger brothers and sisters close to her, weeping. We sat down and watched it with her, no words, just emotions. I still can't watch replays of the events that took place that day.
On Sunday morning, those feelings started all over again for me and then "Meet the Press" continued them. My husband had fixed banana peanut butter pancakes and we were starting to eat them when somebody interviewed Lucy Baines Johnson, and I heard her speak of that day for the first time in my life.
I don't believe I have ever heard her talk about it and she had such a unique perspective. They came to tell her it seems, and she was terrified her parents were hurt as well. We, as a nation, never recognized that fear for her or her sister.
Don wanted to know if I was going to watch the coverage further. While it may be cathartic, it is to painful to participate in even today. The Kennedys were such an intimate part of our lives and it was brought into our living rooms through the very new medium of television. At least for us, it was new.
We were poor and getting a television was a huge luxury my parents worked hard for, and when they got it they understood its power. Our watching was limited — Saturday morning cartoons, Red Skelton, "Gunsmoke" and eventually Carol Burnett, "Bonanza," and the "Ted Mack Amateur Hour." I never watched "Howdy Doody," as my mother found him frightening. So, this constant coverage and never leaving the television until after the funeral told us this was something so important we could never forget it.
We had seven children. My youngest sister, Jessica, had been born but lived only three days. My mother always told us she died of the same thing the Kennedy baby died from; poor people idolized the Kennedys. They were rich people, but they seemed to genuinely care for the poor, the sick, and Civil Rights was coming directly from their tables to ours.
It was an amazing time to be alive. And you felt alive. At our dinner table, we discussed Martin Luther King, we talked about the Kennedys. My dad's biggest concern was that he was Catholic. He knew no matter what, though, that the world was changing and Jack Kennedy had something to do with it.
I hadn't heard much of the talk of drugs and alcohol and the Hippie craze hadn't swung into gear yet. Our country was in transition and the road forked after the assassination. I can't watch the funeral procession even today without weeping.
I look at that Kennedy woman's face — my mothers name for Jackie — and I see that woman who would be ostracized for her marriage to Onassis, who would gracefully manage to keep her children's lives private and I weep for her.
On TV, they spoke to the daughter of the Army engineer who had designed the eternal flame. It was Mrs. Kennedy's idea. So was his burial site. They told a beautiful story about how the president had visited that site eight months earlier and told his wife he could stay there forever. The flame for her was significant. For us, too.
She never wanted the spirit of her husband to die. What he was doing was monumental in this country. Had he been allowed to finish, would we even be having a health care discussion today or would we have led the charge in the industrialized world on health care as a human right?
When would we have left Vietnam? Would there ever have been an Afghanistan?
Jack Kennedy suffered in war; he was no fan of it. He and his brother believed in a more balanced opportunity for people with little opportunity. He wanted a higher education for people, and equal opportunity.
Today when I wept, it wasn't just for the Kennedys; it was for my country and the feeling of having been lost for 50 years, of unfulfilled promise, and hope gone awry. It was for my grandfather, who sat on his front porch as the Kennedys walked through the streets of Eastern Kentucky and for the pride he felt that a president cared that much.
It was for the innocence of the time, and the humanity. People were less than perfect — that has been made all too clear over the years — but perhaps for the first time in our lives, the president was part of the people because we watched him, he touched us, and we loved him.
