MARTIN, Tenn. – Freshman catcher Deven Wilson did all she could to give The University of Tennessee at Martin softball team a lift, but it wasn't enough to get past Memphis as the Skyhawks fell 4-2 in the final non-conference game of the season.
Memphis grabbed the early lead in the first, a lead they would never relinquish as they pushed across two runs in the top half of the inning. After drawing a lead-off walk to begin the game, the Tigers quickly moved into scoring position as Lelani Bernardino swiped second. A defensive miscue by the Skyhawks, quickly followed by two sacrifice bunts, which went in the book as a fielder's choice, resulted in the first two scores of the game.
The Skyhawks began to chip away in the bottom of the third. Wilson laced a lead-off double into the left field gap. Classmate Jessie Britt held tough, taking a pitch off the left shoulder to move the freshman duo to first and second with no outs. Mikala Torrence attempted a sacrifice bunt down the third base line which the Tigers attempted to get the force at third to get the lead runner, but as Wilson beat the throw the Skyhawks had the bases juiced with no outs. Leah Taylor responded by driving a deep fly into center, scoring Wilson from third on the sacrifice fly and trimming the Tigers' lead in half.
Memphis was not done on the afternoon as Kelly Braman drove a home run over the left field wall in the sixth inning. The Tigers added another run in the seventh on a RBI single through the left side.
The Skyhawks would not lie down in the bottom of the seventh. Senior Becca Williams laced a first pitch double into left, putting UTM in scoring position with one out. Wilson added her second double of the game, plating Williams and bringing the game to a 4-2 score, the ending result.
Casey Vincent (12-8, 2.44 ERA) picked up the loss in the circle. Vincent struck out four while allowing two runs over four innings of work. Freshman Autumn Glenn appeared in relief, tossing three innings while allowing two runs.
UT Martin will be back in action this weekend as they play their final series at Bettye Giles Field of the 2013 campaign against Ohio Valley Conference leader Eastern Illinois. The Skyhawks and Panthers will begin their three game series on Saturday with a doubleheader, followed with the finale and senior recognition on Sunday. First pitch for Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Americans need a New Direction. Americans need a change from war without end and the economy on the brink of recession. The 110th Congress is working to rebuild our economy and help families struggling to make ends meet.
Unprecedented Response to Economic Downturn: More than 130 million American households are getting Recovery Rebates between May and July--to help spark a rebound of the American economy and help families struggling to make ends meet. The rebates for taxpayers and incentives for small businesses to invest this year are the result of a bipartisan agreement in January in Washington to boost the economy--an agreement that was unprecedented in its timely response to an economic downturn.
Next Economic Relief Efforts: Now it's time for Congress and the President to come together around a second economic recovery and relief effort. Economic conditions have deteriorated considerably since the first response, and Americans are struggling with an extended period of rising costs.
Economic growth continued to be anemic in the first quarter of 2008--still just 0.6 percent, the same almost non-existent growth as the previous quarter, and a significant drop from the 4.9 percent pace in the third quarter of 2007. Growth in consumer spending, vital to the health of the economy, dropped to just 1 percent, the slowest rate of growth since the 2001 recession.
Oil, gas, and diesel prices have smashed records daily this Spring. Basic food prices are rising by double digit percentages. Forty-four percent of American homeowners are expected to see their home values drop--after years of appreciation--and now one in 33 homeowners is projected to actually face foreclosure in the next two years. With falling housing prices, more than 10 percent of homeowners now owe more on their mortgage than their homes are worth.
Bush Economy: But make no mistake: the perfect storm of the housing crisis, rising prices, stagnant wages, and disappearing jobs are the cumulative result of years of inaction or failed policies that have hurt our ability to compete, and left more and more of our people behind.
- The Bush Administration's failures to crack down on abusive and predatory mortgage lending practices have contributed to a foreclosure crisis that threatens homeownership, hurts families, communities, and businesses, and is the main cause of the economic downturn.
- The exploding national debt under President Bush has weakened the dollar and limits our ability to invest in the future and meet our long-term commitments.
- Bush tax policies that transfer wealth to the richest individuals and corporations have left most Americans struggling with stagnant wages, and left innovative industries without incentives to grow.
- And the war in Iraq has not only weakened us in the fight against terrorism--it has also diverted more than $500 billion that could have been invested in education, infrastructure, and a stronger American economy.
A New Direction: To rebuild the American economy, we need leadership that will work to ensure every American has a chance to succeed and prosper, and innovative American businesses can once again create the best jobs in the world. And we must lead a revolution to renew and rebuild America, with the fiscal responsibility that will strengthen our economy for generations to come.
The economic downturn of January led to an unprecedented bipartisan effort to enact a timely, targeted and temporary stimulus to our economy, helping families struggling to make ends meet.
The stimulus package:
- puts Recovery Rebates in the hands of 130 million American families. The rebates of $600 per taxpayer, $1,200 a couple, and increased an additional $300 for each qualifying child, and started hitting bank accounts and mailboxes in May.
- promotes small business investment in plants and equipment.
- will help create 500,000 jobs by the end of the year.
The number of American jobs has declined for four straight months, by a total of 260,000.
The New Direction Congress is working to:
- create new 'green' jobs and retain existing jobs with investments in American renewable energy and new technologies in the clean energy sector, and training a 'green collar workforce.'
- spur investment in new innovation-based job creation and expand scholarships for a math, science, technology, and engineering teacher corps.
- launch an effort to rebuild and modernize American infrastructure, constructing and repairing highways, bridges, transit, levees, dams, broadband networks, schools, hospitals, and livable communities.
The gap between the richest Americans and everyone else has grown in the last eight years. Since 2001, the real income of a typical family has fallen by nearly $1,000. Hourly earnings grew at the slowest rate in two years in April. Over the last 12 months, wages have grown by 3.4 percent--less than the 4 percent rate of inflation.
The New Direction Congress enacted the first increase in the federal minimum wage in almost a decade, directly helping an estimated 5.3 million Americans and setting a new wage floor for another 7.2 million lower wage workers. The second 70-cent increase takes effect this July. When fully phased-in, the pay raise puts another $4,400 in the paychecks of these workers.
The number of unemployed Americans stands at 7.6 million - 800,000 more workers than one year ago. More than one in every six of Americans looking for work have been jobless for more than 26 weeks--the maximum number of weeks for receiving regular unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. The number of long-term unemployed Americans is higher now than when Congress last provided extended unemployment benefits in 2002. .
The New Direction Congress is working to extend benefits to 3.2 million workers by:
- immediately providing up to 13 more weeks of benefits to workers exhausting regular unemployment compensation in every state.
- providing an additional 13 weeks (for a total of 26) in states with high unemployment (six percent or higher).
The median home price has fallen 7.7% in the last year. According to a new report released by The Pew Charitable Trusts, one in 33 homeowners is projected to be in foreclosure over the next two years, as a result of subprime loans made in 2005 and 2006. An additional 40 million neighboring homeowners could see their property values drop. There are 75 million owner-occupied homes in America. More than 10% of American homeowners now owe more than their homes are worth.
The House has passed the most comprehensive legislation yet proposed to address the foreclosure crisis. The legislation:
- provides affordable mortgage refinancing options that help families avoid foreclosure, protect neighboring home values, and stabilize the housing market. This is no bailout for lenders or borrowers. FHA will guarantee refinanced loans only if the lender takes a significant loss by reducing the loan principal to below current appraised value and the consumer can repay the new loan and agrees to share any future gains with government. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- provides loans and grants to states for the purchase and rehabilitation of foreclosed homes standing empty, and stabilizes home values in a neighborhood. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
Despite the slow and insufficient response of the Bush Administration, the New Direction Congress remains committed to working with the Administration to stabilize the housing market and provide relief to American families struggling in our weakening economy. Ending the foreclosure crisis is vital to the American economy's recovery. Most Americans' primary investment is their home.
Crude oil has reached new almost daily records, above $124 per barrel, just after the biggest five oil companies announced 1st quarter profits totaling nearly $37 billion. This continues the five-year trend of record oil profits under the Bush Administration. Gas prices have hit new records day after day, with the national average approaching $4.00 a gallon, more than 2 ½ times the average price of $1.47 in January 2001.
House Republicans can join with Democrats to help lower gas prices by rounding up veto-proof majorities for legislation the House has already passed with very little of their support:
- hold OPEC accountable for oil price fixing. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- crack down on price gouging. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- repeal subsidies to Big Oil earning record profits - including Exxon's $10.9 billion quarter - and re-invest in renewable energy and efficiency. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
The New Direction Congress has in a bipartisan way:
- forced the President to take real action to lower gas prices with a temporary suspension of deposits to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The reserve is close to 97% full now, its highest level ever and enough to meet our security needs. It has been tapped or suspended by previous presidents, including President Bush. Experts project this could lower gas prices by 5 to 24 cents per gallon. In 2000, just the announcement of a SPR moratorium dropped oil prices in the market, from $30 a barrel to $20 over the year.
The bipartisan Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, signed by the President in December, included these provisions to lower energy costs:
- Market manipulation authority for the Federal Trade Commission will protect consumers against price manipulation by the oil industry. After urging by the New Direction Congress in April, the FTC announced it will move forward with these rules.
- The first update to vehicle mileage standards in 32 years puts Americans on track to save up to $1,000 per vehicle a year on gas prices by the time they are fully phased in. America's long-time growing dependence on foreign oil will be reversed, with our imports of foreign oil dropping from 60 percent to 51 percent of our total consumption in 2022, according to the Energy Information Administration's new calculation this Spring.
- The Renewable Fuels Standard will require a greater reliance on bio-fuels. Right now, ethanol being blended into gasoline is keeping "oil and gasoline prices 15 percent lower than they might otherwise be" according to Merrill Lynch. Last year, the ethanol industry created 240,000 new jobs and added $47 billion to the GDP. Two-thirds of the RFS must be met by non-food bio-fuels, such as switchgrass and woodchips.
- The new Farm Bill invests more than $1 billion and redirects incentives to encourage cellulosic non-food biofuel production to make us less dependent on foreign oil. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED
Grocery prices have risen too far for lower-income Americans to afford the basics without significant pain--or reasonable assistance. Consumer food inflation has been running at a 5% annual rate in the past three months, including the largest monthly increase in 18 years in April. The largest price increases are white bread, up 16% in the past 12 months; milk, which has risen 13%; and eggs, up 35%. An estimated 28 million Americans--a record high--are expected to enroll in the Food Stamp program this year.
- Nearly three-fourths of the new Farm Bill, including $10.4 billion in new spending, goes to nutrition programs that help 38 million American families afford healthy food. THE PRESIDENT OPPOSES THE FARM BILL.
- The new Farm Bill:
- updates the Food Stamp program, indexing it to inflation for the first time in the program's 40 year history, and ending the cap that makes families choose between food and child care. Households with children get 77% of Food Stamp benefits.
- adds more than $1 billion to the Fresh Fruit and Snack program for schools.
- provides much-needed support to emergency feeding organizations, such as food banks, food pantries, and soup kitchens.
- Fresh fruit and vegetable producers will have their own place in the Farm Bill for the first time and will benefit from more than $1.3 billion in new programs that support research, pest management, trade promotion and nutrition for the industry.
- The new Farm Bill and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 both move America's bio-fuel industry more to non-food sources, such as switchgrass and woodchips.
Internationally, food prices have doubled and tripled in some countries, and shortages and famine are becoming global emergencies. The global food shortages are caused by spiking energy costs, a weakened U.S. dollar, weather-related crop shortages, competition from the bio-fuel industry, and rising demand for high-value foods in China and India.
America is the world's biggest provider of food aid, delivering more than $2.1 billion in assistance in 78 countries in 2007.
- The new Farm Bill provides:
- an additional $60 million, on top of the existing Food for Peace international aid program, to purchase local food overseas.
- an additional $84 million for the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program in underdeveloped countries.
- The Supplemental, which will be considered shortly by the House, includes $1.62 billion for emergency international food aid in FY 2008 and FY 2009 -- $500 million more than the President's request.
Since 2001, most Americans have seen stagnant wages for their work--but the top tier of taxpayers has grown even wealthier.
The New Direction Congress has worked to provide tax cuts for middle and lower income Americans and small businesses, responsibly funded, instead of driving us further into debt by enacting new tax breaks for the top 1% of taxpayers. This Congress is working to:
- extend protection for 20 million middle-income families about to be hit by AMT, the Alternative Minimum Tax, originally put in place to prevent wealthy Americans from avoiding taxes.
- cut taxes for small businesses to help them invest in new equipment and hire new workers.
- extend middle-income tax relief beyond the 2010 expiration, including extending marriage penalty relief, the child tax credit, and the 10 percent bracket--in a fiscally responsible way.
Since October 2001, 1.7 million U.S. troops have deployed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, many multiple times. The toll on their health, their lives, and their families has been enormous--at a time when the American economy is faltering. Their transition into Veterans Administration care has added to stress and backlogs in that system. The New Direction Congress has worked to increase pay and benefits for active duty military personnel, as well as:
- pass a new GI Bill to make America's veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan part of a new American economic recovery. The existing GI Bill--which helped America recover from World War II, 64 years ago--now covers only about 70% of the costs of a four-year public college or university, and just over 30% of a private institution. The new GI Bill would cover a full four-year education. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- enact the largest investment in veterans' health care in American history, signed into law in 2007--responding to a care crisis at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the demands of troops returning from battle and struggling to make ends meet at home--many with traumatic brain injuries, significant physical disabilities, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Since 2001, premiums for family health coverage have climbed 78 percent. A record 47 million Americans are without health insurance.
The New Direction Congress has worked to:
- enact into law after years of delay a ban on genetic information discrimination in health coverage, and an end to discriminatory treatment of mental health care coverage.
- protect health coverage for 6 million children--and expand it to 4 million more who are already eligible and would otherwise go uninsured. Replacing expensive emergency room care with health care coverage is cost-effective for families and taxpayers, and helps ensure children succeed. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- help reduce the cost of prescription drugs for seniors and Americans with disabilities, by requiring Medicare to leverage its substantial bargaining power to negotiate better prices. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- reform Medicare health care provider reimbursements as well as significantly improve benefits, preserving access to and improving affordable care for millions of Americans. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED TO BOTH.
- help keep families from losing critical subsidized health care by preventing the President's Medicaid regulations from taking effect. THE PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED.
- expand life-saving stem cell research that could cure or prevent chronic diseases among Americans--also reducing health care costs. THE PRESIDENT VETOED.
As the challenges of a global economy make a college education an even more valuable key to prosperity, college costs have risen more than six percent in the last year alone.
The New Direction Congress has gotten signed into law:
- the single largest investment in American higher education since the GI Bill in 1944--at no new cost to taxpayers, paid for by reducing excessive federal subsidies to the student loan industry--cutting student loan interest rates in half and increasing the size of Pell Grants.
- legislation ensuring continued access to federally backed student loans, regardless of what's happening in the credit markets.
Consumer confidence has dropped to its lowest level in five years--a quality of life issue for Americans as well as a drag on our economy. One factor is the wave of unsafe products from other countries, including China, which made 2007 what Consumer Union called 'the year of the recall.'
The New Direction Congress has:
- enacted mandatory 'country of origin' labeling for food products in the new Farm Bill, for the first time requiring this crucial information for consumers. THE PRESIDENT OPPOSES THE FARM BILL.
- worked to send to the President a major overhaul of consumer product safety law, banning lead in toys and other children's products and beefing up consumer protections that have been greatly weakened in recent years--at the same time our economy has seen an influx of products from all over the globe.
- conducted extensive oversight to reveal how a lethally tainted blood thinner named Heparin could make it to American consumers, and the possible dangers of BPA in baby bottles--both of which led to legislation.

X Flight
Experience the shock and awe of one of America's first wing roller coasters!
Experience the ultimate sensation of flight as you soar on this one-of-a-kind wing coaster. As the dramatic music blares, you'll feel your adrenaline pumping more and more, especially when you realize that there is no track above your head or below your dangling feet!
Slice through the sky on 3,000 feet of twisted steel, including extreme drops, insane loops, and intense fly-throughs unlike anything you've ever experienced before. X Flight is one of the first of its kind in the world, featuring state-of-the-art technology to guarantee you'll have a high-flying good time. Almost immediately after take-off, X Flight launches you up a 120-foot hill and plunges into a heart-pounding, high speed, dive drop. As you descend at 55 miles per hour, the train rotates 180 degrees and swoops into an upside down position, and while you're hanging, you'll fly into a gravity-defying roll through a cloud of fog.
After a sharp left turn, you enter an intense loop followed by another zero-gravity roll and then an incline twist – during which the train careens on a 90-degree angle towards a control tower! The tower is directly in your path, and just as you are about to slam into the structure, you make a last-second vertical flip and zoom right through a narrow keyhole opening! This signature extreme fly-through is just one adrenaline-pumping element that makes X Flight so cutting-edge and spectacular. All in all, you'll fly along the 3,000-foot-long twisted steel track, compete with intense drops, five inversions, a barrel roll, and a zero-g roll.
Brave pilots on X Flight can be a part of history as one who soared on one of the most revolutionary coasters in the world.

Genie Bra is great! Love it!
Par Moira
de Toronto
I love the Genie Bra. It looks natural and it feels so very very comfortable. This is my second set that I have ordered. I actually step into it when putting it on. I find that is the best and quickest way for met. As I said, I love this bra. It is great for everyday wear. I have already bought two sets and I will order more. Wonderful bra.

Quality has dropped
Par Prairie girl
de Regina (Saskatchewan)
The band folds, the whole thing rides up, and the straps are too short. I have bought these bras three times, and this time I had to just throw them out. The quality has really gone downhill and I won't buy these bras again.

Love this bra
Par Shopping fan
This is a really wonderful bra. I am an xs and it fits like a dream. I wear them all the time. I wear tight fitting clothing and the bra works great. I am a pilates instructor and even wear them when I teach. I wash them with the pads in, however they really should be taken out because they will rip in time if you don't. I did order the show stopper once and there was some inconsistency with the sizing on one of the straps (one strap was longer than the other) but all in all it has been a good purchase. I have about 20 genie bras and will order more...note don't order the ones in colour with lace. They don't fit the same and are too loose without support
Genie is the best!
Par MAG from NB
de Miramichi, NB
Love my genies. I now have 15 regular, approx. 8 Milano, and now 6 brights & neutrals in the original design (yes I said 30 or so)in my collection! You might say I've found the perfect bra. Have 3 sisters-in-law & coworker all wearing Genies and loving them. I am a 36C and size up to XL-1X in all my genies although I could wear a L but find the next size up a bit more comfortable. p.s. I did not like the design with the lace edging all around...different material and virtually no support. Sent them back.

Genie Bra is priceless to me
Par HappyBoobs
de Marathon
I discovered the genie bra about a year ago. I am of average weight and not huge breasted (36C.) Prior to finding these bras, I was suffering with the problem of chaffing under my breasts to point they would become raw and very sore. My doctor gave me a cream and it did work if I used it all the time. Since getting the genie bra, I have NOT ONCE had the same chaffing. Not sure why, but I am not giving up my genie bra. They are so light, comfortable and the straps NEVER fall off the shoulder.... I love them....gotta get some new ones soon

not the same as before...but ok...
Par Gilly in TO
I have owned a Genie bra that I have loved for years and looked to buy them again but didn't find them until I saw them on TSC. Excited, I ordered 6! Unfortunately the construction has changed and even though I ordered an EXTRA LARGE pack it is still too small. The cups are small and squish you. I removed the modesty pads (which didn't exist with the original) and it appears that because of the double layer of fabric ,needed to accommodate the pads, the cups are very tight and uncomfortable. Also the shoulder straps are not quite long enough to allow you to wear without making deep red indentations after a short time.I am hoping that the bras will stretch and ease up a bit once I wear and wash a few times...we'll see. Not sure I could recommend unless you are an A or B cup at most. We are told in sizing that a C cup or larger should order a size up. That's what I did but it didn't help.

Hate this bra!
Par Crystal
de FORT ERIE
I made the mistake of ordering this at double the price when it first came out. I ordered 2X a bigger size and even after getting my dress size down to a regular size large, I still can't wear ant of these bras. There is no room in the cups, they are very uncomfortable on the shoulders and I rarely wear one, but if Ido I can't wait to rip it off. This is exactly what I don't want in a bra.

- these bras are very comfortable - stay in place - easy to step into - wash well - advise going up a size - disappointed as when not long ago, I left 3 - 3 packs of the colours sitting in my wishlist - they were offered at a price equivalent to these - the price went up and it remains up

This is the third set of Genie bras I've bought, and and the first two were fine. This time around, the band rolled up right away, and then rode up. After one wash, the bras lost their elasticity and were saggy. I won't buy Genie bras again unless the quality improves.
Very much liked

They are the only one I wear since last year. I gave some to my daughter also. I wish that swim suit would be as comfortable.

Wisconsin tribes bet big on gaming, but that bet is not paying off they way it used to.
Submitted: 02/27/2013

- Wisconsin tribes bet big on gaming, but that bet is not paying off they way it used to.
A new report shows tribal gaming revenue in Wisconsin has declined.
Gaming by the state's 11 tribes generated about 1-point-2 billion dollars in 2011.
That's down nearly 5 percent from 2007.
The Casino City's Indian Gaming Industry report says Wisconsin is one of seven states where tribal gaming revenue has declined.
Twenty-eight states have tribal casinos.
Nationally, tribal gaming revenue is up.
Tribal casinos took in about 27-billion dollars in 2011, up more than three percent from the previous year.
Despite that decline in revenue, tribal gaming **profit** in Wisconsin has increased by about 23-million dollars since 2009 to nearly $5-hundred 77 million in 2011.
The state Legislative Audit Bureau says tribal payments to the state are up 2.5 percent since mid-2010.

Dane County judge to hear Planned Parenthood lawsuit
Submitted: 04/24/2014
- A Dane County judge is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging a 2012 law that sets out conditions for abortions.
The law requires a doctor to determine whether the woman's consent is voluntary and inform the woman of domestic abuse services if he or she suspects the woman is being coerced. The law also requires doctors to perform a physical exam before they can prescribe abortion-inducting drugs and be in the room when the drugs are given to the woman.
Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit in February 2013 arguing the law is unconstitutionally vague. The organization argues its unclear how doctors should determine voluntary consent and whether doctors need to be present when drugs are dispensed or administered.
Judge Richard Niess is set to hear arguments Thursday morning.

Board speeds up start of short-term loan program
Submitted: 04/24/2014
- The start of a new short-term loan program that wasn't slated to begin until July has been moved up in an effort to help businesses hurt by recent cutbacks at Oshkosh Corp.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, the state's chief jobs agency, voted this week to start the pilot program earlier. It will provide loans or loan guarantees of up to $250,000 to companies for projects or expenses that may not be eligible for traditional financing.
The board says it was starting the program earlier in light of news that Oshkosh was cutting 760 jobs from its defense division because of budget cuts being made by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The loan program this year will only target businesses in Oshkosh Corp.'s supply chain

- Police believe a Marshfield man stole three cars in Illinois and brought them to Wisconsin.
He now faces four charges of stealing cars and taking them across state borders.
Police say Bradley Greene, 28, stole three cars in December 2013.
They also accuse him of stealing $5,000 worth of other items.
Those included a car hauler trailer, a flatbed trailer and trailer accessories.
Greene faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison on each count.
The charges against him are from an investigation by the Marshfield Police Department and Northern Illinois Auto Theft Task Force, according to a Department of Justice press release.
The prosecution of this case will be handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Anderson.

State increases fines for parking in handicap spots
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- It will soon be three times more costly for drivers to park illegally in a disability parking spot in Wisconsin.
Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill Wednesday increasing those fines starting Friday.
The new law will increase minimum fines from $50 to $150. The current maximum penalty of $300 won't change.
The law also creates a fine for building owners to not provide enough disability parking spaces on site. Building owners or occupants with at least 26 parking spaces must reserve disabled parking spaces or pay between $150 and $300.

Proposed scenic byway takes step forward with planning meeting

- You can drive along plenty of scenic stretches of roads across Northern Wisconsin.
However, the state of Wisconsin only considers one stretch of highway in the Northwoods as an official scenic byway.
Leaders in a handful of counties want to change that by earning a distinction from Wisconsin's Scenic Byways program. They held a public planning meeting in Mole Lake Wednesday.
The proposed scenic highway, The Wolf River Nicolet Scenic Byway, is a more than 100 mile stretch of Highway 55. It stretches from Langlade, in Langlade County, north to the Michigan boarder.

Celta Vigo v Barcelona: Preview
Eric Abidal could be about to play his first match since undergoing a liver transplant after being named in Barcelona's squad for the trip to Celta Vigo tomorrow.
The French defender was cleared to return to football last month by doctors, having been out of action for over a year. His last appearance came against Atletico Madrid on February 26, 2012.
He underwent his transplant last April, having undergone initial liver surgery in March 2011 when he missed only seven weeks of action, returning in time for the Champions League victory over Manchester United that year.
Abidal, who helped France reach the 2006 World Cup final, has been a Barcelona player since 2007.
Barcelona confirmed on their official website that Abidal was in the 19-man party travelling to Vigo.
His Barcelona team-mate, striker David Villa, posted a picture of the pair together on Twitter this evening, writing: ``An example for everyone! Congratulations Abi!''
While Abidal nears his return, Lionel Messi goes into tomorrow's Primera Division match on the brink of another incredible record.
The Argentinian has scored in his last 18 consecutive league matches and, should he find the net again tomorrow, would become the first man ever to score in successive games against every team in the Spanish top flight.
Those 18 games have brought 28 goals, helping the Catalans hold a 13-point lead over bitter rivals Real Madrid at the top of the standings.
Celta shut out Messi, if not Barcelona, in the reverse fixture at the Nou Camp last November, which the hosts won 3-1.
But young Barcelona winger Cristian Tello reckons Celta will be a tough nut to crack.
``We are very focused on the league,'' Tello said. ``Each match is a final for us, and we want to win as many points as possible. Celta are fighting for their lives and they will be a difficult rival to defeat.''
Barcelona have been boosted this week by the return from the United States of coach Tito Vilanova, who has spent the past two months in New York undergoing cancer treatment.
Matchday responsibilities will remain with his assistant Jordi Roura as Vilanova continues his recovery, however, and Tello is happy for Roura to remain in caretaker charge.
``He's done a spectacular job. He's continued on with the team and he's delivered as the acting manager,'' Tello said.
Celta coach Abel Resino thinks his side are facing Barcelona at a good time, with the Catalans facing the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final away to Paris St Germain on Tuesday and missing several players through injury and suspension.
Xavi, Carles Puyol, Adriano, Jordi Alba and Pedro are all injured, while Victor Valdes is banned, meaning Jose Manuel Pinto will be in goal on his return to his former club.
Key midfielder Xavi could miss the trip to Paris, with the club claiming ``his availability for the next match will depend on his recovery''.
Resino, whose side are second bottom of the table, three points from safety, said: ``Barca will bring a competitive team, but it certainly would be a good time to play against Barcelona.
``In addition to coming with some casualties, they come to play after a tough match with the national team (Spain won 1-0 away to France in their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday) and are before a very important game because they play to progress in the Champions League.''

COPD; Chronic obstructive airways disease; Chronic obstructive lung disease; Chronic bronchitis; Emphysema; Bronchitis - chronic
Because the symptoms of COPD develop slowly, some people may not know that they are sick.
People often can help ease the stress of illness by joining a support group in which members share common experiences and problems.
See also: Lung disease - support group
COPD is a long-term (chronic) illness. The disease will get worse more quickly if you do not stop smoking.
Patients with severe COPD will be short of breath with most activities and will be admitted to the hospital more often. These patients should talk with their doctor about breathing machines and end-of-life care.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have a rapid increase in shortness of breath.
Not smoking prevents most COPD. Ask your doctor or health care provider about quit-smoking programs. Medicines are also available to help kick the smoking habit. The medicines are most effective if you are motivated to quit.

High-Flavanol Cocoa Linked to Better MemoryHigh-Flavanol Cocoa Linked to Better MemoryA daily dose of high-flavanol cocoa gave seniors with mild memory loss a boost in memory and language
A study in Hypertension found that a daily dose of high-flavanol cocoa gave seniors with mild memory loss a boost in memory and language.
In this study, researchers explored the effects of flavanol-rich cocoa on brain function in 90 adults (ages 64 to 82) with mild memory loss. The participants were randomly assigned to a high-flavanol (990 mg flavanols), intermediate-flavanol (520 mg flavanols), or low-flavanol (45 mg flavanols) cocoa drink, daily for 8 weeks. Brain function was tested at baseline and after the intervention to assess for memory-related factors such as attention, recall, language, and time to complete a given task.
Results showed the high- and intermediate-flavanol groups completed an assigned task by as much as 35 seconds earlier compared with the low-flavanol group. The high-flavanol cocoa drink also performed better in the verbal fluency test compared with the low-flavanol group (speaking about 28 versus 22 words per 60 seconds). In addition, insulin resistance, blood pressure, and lipid peroxidation (a chemical reaction that leads to the formation of cell-damaging free radicals) significantly decreased in the high- and intermediate-flavanols groups.
The study authors note that improved brain function was associated with a reduced insulin resistance and that better blood sugar (glucose) regulation may help recover brain function. The authors comment that "the regular dietary inclusion of flavanols could be one element of a dietary approach to maintaining and improving not only cardiovascular health but also specifically brain health." They also note that further studies on the role of cocoa in brain function are warranted.
Feeding the brain
Increasing research shows that what we eat and drink definitely affects our brain as well as our body. Here are some additional brain-feeding foods to keep in mind while grocery shopping:
Whole foods. Buy nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits, and whole grains that have not been processed, as highly processed foods are often low in nutrients, rich in calories, and high in fat and sugar. They are also more likely to contain preservatives and additives such as chemicals and dyes that can hurt brain health.
Low-sugar items. Remember that many types of cocoa and chocolate products are often high in sugar and can worsen health over time. The products used in this study were rich in flavanols, which are plant chemicals with health-giving properties. High blood sugar has been linked to poor health in general and to poor brain health. Just as excess sugar is bad for the rest of the body it also hurts the brain. Eating low or no sugar foods and saving sugary treats for special occasions may help preserve brain function.
Power nutrients. Specific nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to better brain health for the young and the old. Fatty fish, such as salmon and mackerel, is a good source of omega-3s. In addition, the study authors comment that the B vitamins, vitamins D and E, and choline, have also been linked to improved brain function. But it is important to remember that any one particular nutrient or food by itself won't fully protect your brain. It's eating a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients that may help protect your memory in the long run.

If the T&P valve from the boiler is leaking, check and probably replace the expansion tank. The T&P valve could be bad as well.
You have an expansion tank on the WH also, or probably do, and if that was bad, the WH relief valve would open.
... again.
6+ years ago I moved into my current house. I installed a new AO Smith 4 section boiler and a Bock 50 gallon indirect. After about 4 years, give or a take a few months, I get a call from the wife at work.
Wife-"THE BASEMENTS FLOODING!!!!!!!!" She says in a rather panicked voice.
Me-Where's it coming from?
wife-The side of the "furnace"!!!!!
me-Crap. Go down there and close the valve going into the boiler. It is above and to the left of it.
wife-"What the #$@! is a boiler!!!!!"
me-The furnace.
wife-Oh. Wait a minute. I turned it off. Water is still coming out
me-did it even slow down?
wife-no, I don't think so.
me-f##K. go back down and shut off every valve you can reach.
wife-OK.....did it. it stopped.
I got home that night, went down into the basement, scratched my head for a minute, turned the boiler feed back on and waited.
Then I turned the domestic feed to the indirect back on. Guess it fixed itself, I thought/hoped......for a few seconds till the boiler pressure relief valve popped again.
I shut the domestic feed off again and after a few seconds the water gushing out of the "furnace" stopped.
WTF, I thought to myself? After thinking about it and experimenting a bit, I came to the conclusion that my domestic supply was pressurizing my boiler. Apparently there was a leak in the boiler water coil.
I went and dug out my bock manual and warranty info. I read back through it, a bit more carefully tha when I installed it. I found the part about checking the anode.
Anode? What's an anode?
Now I knew what an anode was.
After being bounced around a few different places, I got a hold of a bock rep and they replaced it, which kind of surprised me as I figured they'd say DIY install? pffttt. sorry.
Anyway, a few weeks later, I had my new bock. I got by just fine on my tankless coil till then.
I have performed the anode check since then. I have replaced it once and was getting ready to look at it again when I hear another panicked call from the basement.
daughter-Dad? There's water comingout of the furnace.
me- crap.
So I went back down, shut off the domestic HW supply and watched as the boiler pressure eased it's way back down.
Looks like I got another cracked coil. Bleep me.
I emailed the bock rep again and am waiting to hear back from him.
I am considering just living with the tankless coil. I only have one problem with the coil and that is that you do get a fluctuation in temp, but, it ain't that bad.
Also, I have another idea for the Bock.
I plan on installing radiant heating sometime in the next year or twenty. I also like to burn wood in my stove. I was thinking running some black pipe around inside the woodstove and circulating water from the bock, thereby using the woodstove to keep the bock hot. I would then use this water to heat the radiant system.
I would also circulate water from the boiler to the bock to keep it hot when I am not running the stove.
Not sure if I have the room inside my stove to do this, but, I might be able to go to a larger stove.
Am I crazy or what?
One other question.
I was thinking about just keeping the existing bock heater but plumbing it differently.
Tell me if you think this is feasible.
I run my domestic supply through the tankless coil to the indirect domestic supply. On the hot indirect out I install a T back over to the supply going to the tankless coil. I put my existing recirc pump in this. I would cap off the boiler feed and return water going to my leaky coil.
So, now I have my indirect being supplied with hot water from the tankless coil. When the indirect temp drops below a set temp, it's water gets recirculated back through the tankless coil.
This should give me the nice even temps I have come to expect from the Indirect, without having to get a new one.

If the T&P valve from the boiler is leaking, check and probably replace the expansion tank. The T&P valve could be bad as well.
You have an expansion tank on the WH also, or probably do, and if that was bad, the WH relief valve would open.

wish that was the problem. it would be a cheaper fix. but, I'm afraid it's not. the amount of water coming out of the valve is too great and the problem goes away when the indirect tank is isolated from the boiler/hydronic heat system.
I'm not sure I understand the configuration but let me describe what I think it is. Where I am wrong you can correct me and we can go from there.
You have a boiler with a tankless coil that is immersed in the water side of the boiler.
Your indirect heater was heated by circulating water directly from the water side of the boiler (not from the tankless coil) through a coil in your indirect heater.
The coil in the indirect heater failed and pressurized the water side of your boiler.
Now you have connected the tankless coil, which is supplied with your water source, directly to the indirect heater. The indirect heater supplies your hot water faucets.
Possible fixes:
1. Continue using what you have; or
2. Replace the indirect heater with an electric water heater that will be suppllied via the tankless coil.
I never had an indirect heater but had a tankless coil. It had a hard time keeping up in the winter when we are supplied with 33F water so I run it through an electric water heater. The electric heater rarely turns on but it buffers the flow so I get steady water temperature. The electric elements would top it off if necessary but the temperature is set well below the boiler operating temperature.
I was using a lot of oil in the summer just to keep the boiler hot. Now I just turn off the boiler in the summer and let the electric supply the hot water. Even though the electric BTUs cost more the net cost is less because there is less warm air going up the stack while the boiler is kept hot.
that's pretty close, bob.
I have the indirect still connected normally to the boiler. I also have the domestic supply for the indirect going to the boiler tankless coil. The return from the tankless coil goes to the output of the indirect. Basically the tankless coil and the indirect are plumbed parallel to one another. I have a ball valve in the supply to the tankless coil and one in the supply to the indirect. There are also ball valves coming and going to the boiler water lines between the indirect and the boiler.
Currently I have the ball valves between the boiler and indirect closed and the domestic feed to the indirect closed. This keeps the indirect from pressurizing my boiler water and also keeps the now cold indirect water from flowing when I turn on domestic hot water.
Essentially, right now I am just operating off the tankless coil.
I gave some thought to your idea about using the tankless coil to feed an electric heater. So long as the electric heater is well insulated, it should rarely have to rely on electrons to heat it. It also smooths out the temp fluctuations. As for the wisdom of shutting down the boiler side to run off electricity during the summer, I don't know. I have talked to plumbers who say shutting down your boiler for extended periods does more harm than good. Also, if you use quite a bit of hot water, I think you might still save money using oil to heat it rather than electricity. I use oil year around and it seems like I burn damn near nothing, till I turn on the heat.
Well, if you weren't confused before, you should be now!
Wish I could draw pictures on this board.
Pete - a couple comments:
I think you've described things fairly well. Your comment about drawing pictures is a common desire. You can post pictures (or drawings saved as pictures) in this forum using the "Attach Files" option.
Your concept of continuing to use the indirect as a storage tank but recirculating for heat when it cools would work. The way I see it you'd have to use a bronze circulator since it's a pot water system. Maybe it should have a backflow preventer upstream of the coil and recirc tee. It should have a check in line with the circulator so the coil and storage tank aren't inadvertantly by-passed.
Have you thought about using a different brand of indirect? HTP uses metallurgy rather than coatings to resist corrosion and they have a lifetime warranty.
The comment on shutting down a boiler might need some examination. If the heat exchanger in the boiler is a welded unit then seasonal shut down is not an issue. If the heat exchanger is built-up with seals between segments then cooling it down can cause leaks.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had thought about adding a check valve, but, I was thinking that the recirc pump served as one. If not, then I would obviously need one. I think my current indirect recirc pump may be brass. I'll have to check.
There is one concern I have. If the recirc pump comes on while hot water is being used, would it reduce flow much? I doubt it, but, it is a thought.
As for my boiler, it is a regular cast iron 4 section one. So it does have gaskets and I don't suppose they care to be heated/cooled very much.

Well, after a few months of living with the tankless coil, it is time to do something. I get all the hot water I need from it, but, the temp fluctuations are a real pain in the ass.
So, I have two options, installing a brass circulator pump to use water recirculated through the tankless coil to keep the indirect tank up to temp or as was suggested earlier in this thread, buying an electric HW tank and supplying it through the tankless.
The first option is cheaper (I think) and involves a bit more plumbing, but not much. The second option gives me the ability to shut down the boiler and still have hot water. But, from what I gather, letting a cast iron 4 section boiler get cold may lead to leaks.
Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
You could also use the indirect heater as it is supposed to be used, by supplying the heating coil of the indirect heater as a zone of your heating system. You would not need a new pump if your current circulator has enough capacity.
You could also, at the same time, run the output of your tankless coil to the DOMESTIC SUPPLY connection of the indirect heater.
The result is that the storage in the indirect heater will moderate the temperature variation from the tankless coil, and the circulation from the boiler will make up for any inadequate capacity of the tankless coil during high demand.
A decision to install an electric unit could be based on usage of fuel in the non-heating season. Look at your records of fuel usage during the non-heating season and see if you would save by using electricity to heat water in the summer.
I would not try to heat domestic water with a wood stove unless that stove had a complete control system and safety system designed for that purpose. It is not a simple job to control the temperaure of a wood stove and the usual temperatures in a wood stove will develop enough steam pressure to blow up any domestic system.

Reader suggests 'bidding out' emergency services9:20 am | August 28, 2012
It is my understanding that the Carter County Rescue Squad has not been forthcoming with its budget and financial records to the commission. As a former chief of the Hampton Volunteer Fire Department, I find this interesting as, in the past, volunteer fire departments have always had to present a financial report in order to receive funding. Hopefully, this is still a requirement.
In the spirit of transparency, I do not see what the problem is with this request. What is fair for the fire departments should be fair for the Rescue Squad, especially when the fire departments do not currently bill taxpayers' insurance for a response to a fire and depend solely upon donations from the community and the commission. In other words, they are running on a much shorter shoestring.
Perhaps the answer to this controversy would be for the county to consider "bids" for their emergency services as is the case in most counties in Tennessee now, especially now, that not only has it been brought to our attention that the Rescue Squad is "privately" owned and is billing the taxpayers' insurances $400-plus for trips to the hospital, and also that the Rescue Squad has failed to attend a meeting that was vital to the community and their emergency needs as the recent 911 meeting was.
One way to diffuse the controversy is for the squad to answer some of these important questions: How many "transports" did the squad make last year? How much was the squad reimbursed by insurance for these transports? How much is its overhead for salaries? Is the squad's emergency techs trained in the highest level of emergency care and certified, especially in cardiac care? What is their budget requirements? Are our citizens getting the best emergency care possible, should we allow other emergency services a bid for this contract? These are just simple important questions that every taxpayer in Carter County is entitled to.
Some would argue that bidding this service might cost the taxpayers more, but taxpayers would have more control over these contracts and could choose the level of service they felt was best for all.
As the old saying goes, "What the people DON'T know WILL hurt them."

Absolutely ridiculous horrible service. – I waited for an hour and a half the first tim eI went to get my oil changed and was told that they didn't have the filter I needed. Second time came back with the filter and waited for 3 hours to be told that they couldn't get the old oil filter off. Wasted almost 5 hours and got nothing done. Very very dissatisfied.
