The Lorentz CEOS Club hosted its October meeting.
The meeting was called to order by club President Shirley Clevenger, followed by devotions by AnnaLee Talbott, Vera Bennett and Mary Kriner. The Lord's Prayer was led by Delores Wilson. The Flag Salute was led by Cristine Crites.
The guest speaker for the day, Steven Ables, was introduced by Clevenger. Ables was a candidate for Upshur County Commission. He believes that government should be operated like a business where every dollar is accounted for and every decision though through carefully. He also feels it is very important that our tax dollars are spent on the right priorities.
The roll was called by Secretary Carol Grose. The minutes from the September meeting were read and approved.
Delores Wilson, treasurer, gave the Club's treasure report.
The Lesson Time for Tea was led by Christine Crites. The origin of tea dates back to 2737 BC China, Crites said. That's almost 5,000 years ago. Believe it or not, the wind carried dried leaves from a camellia bush directly into a pot of boiling water. Following that happy accident, tea served medicinal and religious purposes for many years. Commonly grown plants in West Virginia suitable for teas are basil, bergamot, fennel, feverfew, lavender, lemon balm, mint, rose hips, sage, thyme and chamomile.
Several teas had been prepared for the club members to sample, thanks to a very informative lesson Christine.
In old business, members reported that the Lorentz School reunion was a great success. The club purchased three large trays and members furnished desserts and drinks. Everyone had a good time looking at old pictures and telling stories about how Lorentz looked years ago.
At the Farmer's Market on Sept. 22, Bob Grose won first place for his Git-R-Done Chili. He received a large trophy and $250. He also won people's choice.
Members attending included Vera Bennett, Carol Grose, Christine Crites, Mary Kriner, AnnaLee Talbott and Delores Wilson.

A capsule look at Bill O'Brien's weekly news conference:
About the Fighting Illini: They are, frankly, a mess. They've lost 17 consecutive Big Ten games, are coming off a 42-3 blowout loss at home on homecoming to Michigan State, and their coach, Tim Beckman, is very much on the hot seat in just his second season.
Last time vs. Penn State: The Lions won on the road last year, 35-7, and lead the all-time series, 16-4.
Hackenberg OK: The most important news Tuesday is that quarterback Christian Hackenberg is fine and will be ready to go this week. He was pulled midway through the third quarter at Ohio State after suffering a right shoulder injury, but he practiced Monday. "He won't wear a protective device. He's good to go, as we sit here today," O'Brien said.
Setting the tone: Saturday's 63-14 loss to the Buckeyes had the media wondering how O'Brien would react at his Tuesday press conference. Would he be angry and curt? Would he want to talk about the game, which he said he would Saturday, or would he only want to look forward as he did after the loss to Indiana? As several media members noted afterward on Twitter, the coach did a very good job during his media session as he answered questions with details, didn't shy away from tough questions and handled everything professionally.
Team still focused: O'Brien said he had a team meeting Monday afternoon, and it didn't take long for him to realize the players were focused and ready to move on from the blowout loss. "I knew when I opened those doors, every one of them would sitting there ready to go. That's the type of kids we have," he said.
Confidence in Zwinak: The past two games have been brutal for running back Zach Zwinak, who went from starter to barely being able to get off the bench because of fumble problems. O'Brien did declare, for the first time, that Bill Belton is the starting running back. "I have a lot of confidence in Zach Zwinak," O'Brien said. "I have confidence in [Akeel] Lynch. I have confidence in Belton. We have three guys there that are pretty good, so it's a competitive deal. If there's one guy making mistakes, obviously the other two guys are going to play more. Right now Zach's got a little bit of a fumble issue. I do think it's a little bit mental." O'Brien said he talked to Zwinak on Monday, and the message was to not be so hard on himself and just work on ways to correct the problem.
Not quite Tight End U: Penn State's tight ends didn't catch a pass Saturday, a stunning stat given how much focus there has been on that group since O'Brien came from the Patriots, who use the tight ends a ton. O'Brien, though, believes the tight ends were utilized correctly. "We threw the ball to the tight ends eight or nine times on Saturday, and we didn't connect, whether it was a drop or a bad throw or maybe not the greatest route in the world," he said. "So maybe it's coaching. Maybe we've got to put them in a little bit better position. But I've played the tight ends very similar [to last season]. Maybe that's part of it. Maybe we're doing some things that we need to change up a little bit."

As a veteran Buffalo police officer, Melanie Neureuther faces stress, conflict and danger daily. All that melts away when she returns home to her animals, especially the playful, snuggling, face-licking tsunami of her two tiny mixed-breed dogs, Zoey and Ziggy.
"After a stressful day at work, nothing makes me happier than coming home and getting dog kisses," she says. And stressful days at work are not rare. Neureuther and partner Derrick Banaszak specialize in anti-gang activity as they patrol E District on the East Side, which contains some of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods.
Neureuther relishes the challenges of her work, which she has done for 16 years. But rather than sit with her feet up when she's home, she keeps busy – and keeps her husband, Scott Neureuther, and her mother, Joann Janusz, busy too – with outings, classes, activities, pet expos and even canine-centered vacations.
"All my friends say that in their next lives, they want to come back as one of my dogs," she says, smiling, as she opens the door to a closet that she has fitted with three clothing rails packed with designer coats, dresses, shirts and hoodies for the dogs, as well as a rail of their costumes. "My friends say they would also love to have my dogs' wardrobe," she says, flipping through tiny designer garments made by Louis Vuitton, Ed Hardy and Juicy Couture.
The two pampered 7-pound canines have been best friends since Ziggy, now almost 3, a chihuahua-terrier mix, joined Zoey, now almost 4, a Pomeranian-chihuahua mix. Ziggy weighed just 2 pounds when he joined the family as a young pup, and was dwarfed by his then-6-pound older sister.
"They played together from the start," says Neureuther. "She adored him and would just smush him."
Neureuther is a lifelong dog lover – as a youngster, she spent her allowance to buy Dog Fancy magazine. After high school, she enrolled in a veterinary technician program, but switched to criminal justice studies at Erie Community College North Campus, where she earned honors. She earned a bachelor's degree from Hilbert College, also with honors.
"I always liked police work," she says.
Neureuther grew up with a family dog, and got her own dog when she was 18. She took Precious, a white shepherd-husky mix, to obedience classes and got her Canine Good Citizen certification. But, she says, "there just wasn't the same amount of activities back then for dogs."
When Precious died at age 15, Neureuther said, "Never again." It took two years for her to change her mind and get Zoey, whose puppy energy was a shock. "She wore me out, because I never had a puppy," she says. "She was biting my feet and my sleeves, wanting to play all the time." Although she took Zoey to classes, including agility, her energy and activity level remained high. "When she was 5 or 6 months old, I knew she needed a playmate. I looked for six months and found Ziggy in June 2010 on Petfinder."
Ziggy, who was being fostered by Kerry Neaf, president of the Friends of the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, was one of three young pups found with 12 other small dogs, mostly chihuahua-terrier mixes, in a hoarding situation.
Ziggy stood out because his black and tan markings resembled a miniature pinscher, a breed Scott Neureuther likes. Neureuther had it all worked out – Ziggy would be her husband's dog. But in a development familiar to anyone who loves a dog, Ziggy made up his own mind. From the start, there was a special bond between Neureuther and the pup.
"Zoey is more outgoing, and will go to anyone," says Neureuther. "But all Ziggy wanted to do was be with me, to be next to me or on my lap. He is the most loyal, obedient and faithful companion a person could ever ask for."
Despite her busy schedule, Neureuther always made time for her dogs, especially Ziggy. "Even if I would work overnights, getting home at 6 a.m., I would spend time with him," she says. Like Zoey, Ziggy started with some classes, including obedience class.
Life with Ziggy and Zoey had not been trouble-free. Zoey needed surgery on both knees for luxating patellas, an ailment common to Pomeranians. And in March 2011, when he was 11 months old, Ziggy shattered his front leg when he jumped from Scott's lap to the floor. His bone was so small that Neurether's veterinarian, Dr. Michael Wilson of Alden Small Animal Hospital, said there were no surgical pins small enough to set the bone. Still, "he did a wonderful job," says Neureuther, operating on and then casting Ziggy's leg.
"I took some time off from work to be with him," says Neureuther. "I babied him beyond belief. I didn't think you could spoil the second one worse than the first, but I did it."
The walls of the Neureuther house are decorated with photos of their pets, from Christmas portraits to caricatures. One corner is heaped with an assortment of small dog toys, although Neureuther donated half of them to the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter.
Four of the five cats – males Monkey and Bear, from Second Chance Sheltering Network, and females Muffin and Peanut, who found her way into the family garage during a blizzard – declined to be interviewed, but gregarious Cow, named for his black and white coat, greeted a visitor. Until Cow's recent illness resulted in some weight loss, all of the cats were bigger than the dogs.
In addition to the classes Neureuther has attended with both dogs, last summer she and Scott took them to the weeklong Canine Camp Getaway in Lake George. There they participated in classes, including competitive obedience and canine freestyle dancing, in which the dog and human move together.
"I thought Zoey would be great at freestyle, being the bouncy Pom," says Neureuther. "But she did a couple spins and walked away. Ziggy was the one who wanted to do it. He's very food-motivated, they both are."
Her husband, says Neureuther, plays a vital role. "He holds the other dog while I do the stuff," she says. "He loves them to his level, which is great, and he's very supportive. But I'm at another level."
Neureuther's mother, who lives upstairs in their duplex, also helps out. "She goes with me too. I drag her if Scott is working or bowling. She takes excellent care of them, and helps out if I get kept at work by a late arrest, or have to work overtime. I don't know what I'd do without her."
This summer, the three humans will go with the dogs to Barkwells dog resort in North Carolina, and she looks forward to a visit in June to Woofstock in Toronto, North America's largest outdoor festival for dogs.
Both dogs swim at Canine Splash and socialize in the Buffalo Chihuahua and Small Dog playgroup. "I have met some of the most wonderful people through this group, rescue groups and the City of Buffalo shelter," says Neureuther.
Both dogs are also certified by Therapy Dog International, wearing the tiniest red scarves on their visits to residents at a local assisted living facility. Neureuther has just finished the paperwork to volunteer at Hospice.
"I love sharing them with people," Neureuther says. "My Facebook page is all about them and the events we go to. I think my dogs are involved in more activities than some children."
Neureuther also shows her love for animals at work. She was profiled in the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association newspaper, The Blue Line, for her interest in the animals she encounters while on patrol. Once she found that a man had left a pit bull with a relative, who did not want the dog and had confined him to an outside porch. Neureuther got help for the dog, who is now in a loving home.
"Any time dog control needs help in our district, if I'm working, I'm there to help them," she says.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) bioengineered rat kidneys that successfully produced urine both in a laboratory apparatus and after being transplanted into living animals. In their report, receiving advance online publication in Nature Medicine, the scientists describe building functional replacement kidneys on the structure of donor organs from which living cells had been stripped, an approach previously used to create bioartificial hearts, lungs, and livers. (Click here to watch a video about the process.)
"What is unique about this approach is that the native organ's architecture is preserved, so that the resulting graft can be transplanted just like a donor kidney and connected to the recipient's vascular and urinary systems," explains Harald Ott, M.D., Ph.D., of the MGH Center for Regenerative Medicine, senior author of the paper. "If this technology can be scaled to human-sized grafts, patients suffering from renal failure who are currently waiting for donor kidneys or who are not transplant candidates could theoretically receive new organs derived from their own cells."
Around 18,000 kidney transplants are performed in the U.S. each year, but 100,000 Americans with end-stage kidney disease are still waiting for a donor organ. Even those fortunate enough to receive a transplant face a lifetime of immunosuppressive drugs, which pose many health risks and cannot totally eliminate the incidence of eventual organ rejection.
The technique used in this study to engineer donor organs, based on a technology that Dr. Ott discovered as a research fellow at the University of Minnesota, involves stripping the living cells from a donor organ with a detergent solution and then repopulating the collagen scaffold that remains with the appropriate cell type. In this case, human endothelial cells were used to replace the lining of the vascular system and kidney cells from newborn rats. The research team first decellularized rat kidneys to confirm that the organ's complex structures would be preserved. They also showed the technique worked on a larger scale by stripping cells from pig and human kidneys.
Making sure the appropriate cells were seeded into the correct portions of the collagen scaffold required delivering vascular cells through the renal artery and kidney cells through the ureter. Precisely adjusting the pressures of the solutions enabled the cells to be dispersed throughout the whole organs, which were then cultured in a bioreactor for up to 12 days. The researchers first tested the repopulated organs in a device that passed blood through its vascular system and drained off any urine, which revealed evidence of limited filtering of blood, molecular activity, and urine production
Bioengineered kidneys transplanted into living rats from which one kidney had been removed began producing urine as soon as the blood supply was restored, with no evidence of bleeding or clot formation. The overall function of the regenerated organs was significantly reduced compared with that of normal, healthy kidneys, something the researchers believe may be attributed to the immaturity of the neonatal cells used to repopulate the scaffolding.
"Further refinement of the cell types used for seeding and additional maturation in culture may allow us to achieve a more functional organ," continued Dr. Ott. "Based on this initial proof-of- principle, we hope that bioengineered kidneys will someday be able to fully replace kidney function just as donor kidneys do. In an ideal world, such grafts could be produced 'on demand'" from a patient's own cells, helping us overcome both the organ shortage and the need for chronic immunosuppression. We're now investigating methods of deriving the necessary cell types from patient-derived cells and refining the cell-seeding and organ culture methods to handle human-sized organs."

Hire best candidates for police and fire jobs
Cheektowaga, Lancaster and many other towns throughout Western New York hire the best and the brightest. Recently in Lancaster and Cheektowaga, they were comparing candidates who all scored in the top 1 percent on a recent police exam. Candidates then go through a thorough background check and character evaluation. No matter who they choose, they are getting a top candidate for years to come.
So why are the citizens of Buffalo being shortchanged when it comes to police and fire candidates? Why should the city be forced to select inferior candidates? Why do the Police and Fire Departments accept candidates with scores in the 70s? Then when these applicants struggle to maintain a passing grade at their respective academies, they are sometimes passed through.
Recently two fire candidates failed and the fire commissioner refused to terminate them. We're not talking about a clerical position here, we're talking about potential firefighters who will someday make decisions that could mean the difference between life or death. Decisions that could save a citizen's life or a firefighter's life. All citizens and firefighters deserve candidates they can depend on if their lives are on the line.
If needed, have civil service exams every two years instead of every four years. Let the commissioner hire the secretaries and clerical staff, that's where his strengths are. And leave the training and evaluations up to the chief of training, who sees these candidates every day for two months. Why not expect the best and brightest when it comes to life-and-death situations? To all of Buffalo's bravest, stay safe.

More respect needed to solve our problems
Thanks to Michelle Boorstein for her Viewpoints article pointing out the reality of one of our most challenging issues today, religious freedom. Being founded on democratic principles of the individual's right to freedom of religious and political beliefs, our society has become so complex we're on overload. I just hope and pray that people in our country with whatever heritage and belief systems can take a step back from the conflicts.
I believe that respect for each other as human beings has to come into play to solve our challenges. This means respect for each other's needs, thoughts and rights. The arguments are all about how people as much as possible can achieve some kind of contentment and security in their lives. If we don't start finding common ground and respect for each other, the individual freedoms don't have a chance!

Energy project will bring low-cost power to state
The Aug. 11 News story, "Energy plan may raise upstate cost," nearly exclusively aired the opposition. The Champlain Hudson Power Express project, an innovative, underwater 333-mile transmission line, will bring clean, low-cost power to New York State, and will not raise upstate power prices, according to economic studies conducted by London Economics International.
The Champlain Hudson Power Express will lower costs to energy consumers across the state by an estimated $650 million annually. The New York Public Service Commission estimates these savings may be as high as $720 million. While it is true that these cost savings would mainly occur in the Hudson Valley, the New York metro area and Long Island, upstate power prices will remain stable.
The clean hydro power that will be transported on this line will come from new generation sources now being developed and will not take any low-cost power from Canada that is currently going into upstate and Western New York. Furthermore, since this project is being financed 100 percent by the private sector, ratepayers and taxpayers will not be responsible for any of the costs associated with the development, construction or commercialization of the line. By relying on private sources of funding, the Champlain Hudson Power Express will free up scarce resources needed to upgrade existing transmission systems in Western New York and other areas of the state.
We agree that New York needs many new projects to address its long-term energy future, and this project is only one piece of a larger puzzle. That said, with this project, New York has an opportunity to bring this low-cost power to the state and with it cut energy rates, create jobs and deliver cleaner air without the need for an overhead transmission line running down state.

Fudoli has insulted workers and veterans
On Aug. 20, Erie County employees gathered outside of the Lancaster Town Hall in protest of remarks made by Town Supervisor Dino Fudoli. It seems he believes that government is the enemy and all government employees are lazy. If that's what he thinks, then that's what he thinks. The folks who assembled wanted to be certain that Fudoli understands that they are not all like their fellow government employee Dino Fudoli.
This came about at the same time that Fudoli is trying to nix a veterans cemetery from being established in Lancaster. Right now, the closest veterans cemetery to Erie County is in Bath. Some of the people in the crowd were U.S. veterans and they felt insulted by Fudoli. It seems he would rather see a hamburger served than a place that honors those who served their country. I'm sure most of the people in Lancaster feel differently than Fudoli. Fudoli is excelling at giving Lancaster a black eye, but not much else. Bob Giza, where are you?

Amherst must integrate nature with community
Amherst residents are hearing that we need to "swap" the Westwood Country Club for the Audubon Golf Course so that it can be used for a massive development complex. This move is being touted as necessary to fully integrate the University at Buffalo with the community. In reality, we have been integrating UB for decades and have done it well. A more pressing issue for Amherst, however, is integrating nature with the community. The preservation of green space and the integration of nature has always been a significant part of the appeal of Amherst and a reason many chose to live here.
It is both sad and embarrassing that Amherst now has the reputation of being a haven for mindless overdevelopment. A condition and portrayal other communities work diligently to avoid.
Critical thinking and logical consequences inextricably link the pattern of developing green space with the destruction of wildlife and their habitats. If we continue along the road of developing our remaining green spaces, even though existing developed spaces remain vacant, we can expect more of our "nuisance" wildlife being displaced and eliminated. Unfortunately, it is the inhumane killing of Amherst beavers that brought to the forefront the importance of our responsibility in balancing and integrating nature within the community.

I don't believe I have mentioned how excited I am about Alt Summit 2013 in Salt Lake City this coming January. So let me tell you now. I do a little happy dance every time I think about it. To get the party started, I received a sweet surprise in the mail a couple of days ago. You can check it out on Instagram @lauratrevey.
10 Reasons to Get Excited about Alt Summit 2013
Okay, I have so many reasons to be excited, but here are the first ten reasons off the top of my head. More to come, I am sure!
1. I am over the moon excited to meet some of the ALT Speakers this year. For starters, Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind is speaking, holla! Is "Awesome" her middle name?
2. The class I am most excited to take is PhotoShop for Bloggers. I am ready to move beyond the basics and let my creativity soar to new heights.
3. Meeting new friends and bloggers with similar interests and goals makes me smile.
4. Making connections with the amazing sponsors is a smart idea. BING IT ON!
5. I am excited about talking "shop" with other bloggers. Why? Because when you are passionate about what you do, you want to talk about it all day long!
6. I am inspired by the ALT Team, and can't wait to meet them. These gals are the ones that make it all happen.
7. I am putting together my Christmas wishlist of Winter Fashion "Must Haves" for the event.
8. I have never been to Salt Lake City before.
9. I am ever so thankful that I secured a hotel reservation at the luxurious Grand America Hotel. This was no easy task, since the Sundance Film Festival is the same weekend.

Guest blog by Mary Dell Harrington, co-founder of the parenting blog Grown and Flown
Long ago, our house became a favorite destination for our son's playdates, and we have a big, brown, furry family dog to thank. During our 20+ years of marriage, we have actually had four chocolate Labrador retrievers, beginning with a puppy when we got engaged and ending with the dog who joined our almost-empty nest three years ago.
Of all the dogs, though, Argus, a Christmas addition for our then six-year old son, was the rowdiest, matching up in temperament perfectly with the pack of energized little boys who came over to play. As he trained (somewhat successfully) his unruly pal, our son gained a playmate and confidante, alarm clock and buddy; in fact, he gained a brother. The years of puppyhood, with chewed possessions and indoor accidents, are distressing. But witnessing your grown child say goodbye to a now-aged dog as he leaves home for college is infinitely harder.
Author Willie Morris (1934-1999) wrote about the magic of a family dog in his wonderful book, My Dog Skip. We learn of how Morris blossomed from an awkward and lonely (only) child to a confident college student and recipient of a Rhodes scholarship, all with the help of his loyal dog. As the story ends, an ominous call arrives for him in Oxford telling Morris of Skip's death. He writes:
The dog of your boyhood teaches you a great deal about friendship, and love, and death: Old Skip was my brother…. They had buried him under our elm tree, they said—yet this was not totally true. For he really lay buried in my heart.
As we packed our son off to college for his freshman year, my husband, daughter and I watched as he hugged his dog and told him he would see him soon. For 13 years, the enormous chocolate Lab who joined our household so many years before, taught our son about friendship and love. Like Morris' dog Skip, Argus passed away during our son's collegiate years.
No doubt our son will have other dogs, but he may never have a relationship quite like the one he had with Argus. When I think of him as a really young boy, in my mind's eye, he is smiling broadly, running with his giant retriever. It is an indelible image.
Mary Dell Harrington, a graduate of the University of Texas and Harvard Business School, began her career in the media where she worked for NBC, Discovery and Lifetime. Most recently, she and Lisa Heffernan co-founded Grown and Flown, a parenting blog that looks at the entire arc of family life from the point of view of moms with kids 15-25. Their writing has appeared in Huffington Post, Atlantic.com, PBS Next Avenue and Lifetime Moms. Along with her chocolate Labrador partner, Moose, Mary Dell is a certified Pet Partners animal therapist and volunteers for New York-Presbyterian Hospital in that capacity.

This rock band, originally considered a "hair" band, formed in the 80's and has recorded 12 studio albums. Band members consist of Jon Bon Jovi, (born John Francis Bongiovi Jr.), Richie Sambora, Davis Bryan, Tico Torres and Hugh McDonald. The band achieved recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet, and hits "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Livin' On A Prayer." They head out this year on their 16th world tour, "Because We Can: The Tour" in support of their new album, What About Now. This became their third album in a row to hit number one in the U.S., with The Circle and Lost Highway, being the other two. Releases from the new album are "What About Now" and "Because We Can." The concerts are sure not to disappoint with this renowned group of musicians. There will be no shortage of guitar riffs and solos as well as the added standard audience participation and larger than life video montage. TicketCity can get you a front row seat to this once in a lifetime event!
In February of 2011, Bon Jovi hit the road for a 59-city tour, playing off their Greatest Hits album. The tour started at University Park, went to NYC and Madison Square Garden, twice, Las Vegas and the MGM Grand Arena, Houston at the Toyota Center and landing in Lisbon at the Bela Vista Park in July of 2011. The show had a small hiatus from guitarist Richie Sambora for exhaustion and alcohol issues, but he rejoined and the tour was a commercial success. Songs featured, "Lost Highway," "Whole Lot Of Leavin" and "Wanted Dead or Alive."
The tour started in February 2011 in Washington D.C. and will end in Brisbane, Australia, for a total of 101 stops. It will be in support of their latest album of the same name. The shows will feature large hexagon-shaped video towers that move in and out, a mix of his new songs and his classic hits. No pyrotechnics, just the stage and the boys, and thousands of screaming fans who know how to have fun.
The second half of the tour will kick off in Mexico City on September 28 and then hit the U.S., Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, Staples Center in Los Angeles, with two stops in Texas; San Antonio at the AT&T Center and Dallas at the American Airlines Center in mid-October. They will stop in Canada, Japan and come to an end in Australia.
With 30 years of music to choose from, you will hear many hits including, "You Give Love A Bad Name," "Raise Your Hands," "It's My Life," "Who Says You Can't Go Home" and from the new album, "Because We Can."

As for the rest, I also feel bad for Mirai but don't think the result was wrong- at best she should have been 5th (I'd have debatably placed Hicks and Sujan below her based on PCS). I do very much hope she will not quit.

clip of Mirai in kiss and cry, but still can find her LP
Was it an awkward moment for television? Yes. Did the camera crew deliberately film Ashley's face with Mirai's expression on the monitor in the background? Probably. It makes for feeling-inducing television.
Mirai's LP (and the rest pf the top 12) is in my post in the Ladies' LP thread here:
Last edited by aftertherain; 01-27-2013 at 06:41 PM.
Just watched that video clip. I don't think it's a smirk. More like a grimmace that she won in such an unideal fashion. I think she wanted to win with a clean program. Ashley thrives on competition and winning by default seems so unsatisfying, you know?
Marai knew she blew it when she came off of the ice. Her LP was listless and looked like she was just going threw the motions. I don't get all the sympathy. She has had more chances going to the Olympics and Worlds than any one skating tonight. She will never recapture the magic she had at 14 so I think she needs to move on. If Frank Caroll could do nothing with her. no one can. In my opinion the judges got it right. Ashley got a gift but even with her falls her program was far superior to Marai's.
i could not believe my eyes when i saw her scores after her skate. no it was not a good program, but 7th so much less than she deserved. the judging was so harsh to some skaters and generous to a few. my top 5 would have been
1. wagner or gold
2. wagner or gold
3. christina
4. mirai
5. agnes
although ashley was held up, she HAS proven herself this season to be for the most part reliable and a very strong competitor, but you have to remember she is still human. humans make mistakes, and they get nervous. she also just got over her injury and most recently food poisoning. i didn't fully expect her to skate like she was 100% healthy. keeping her in the top 2 was smart though, along with gold because they really are the US's best bets at worlds, and they CAN do it. i know it's not really fair considering all the great skates there were, but you can't complain about not having 3 spots if you're not going to send the most reliable or experienced skaters.
gold also proved herself here in the matter of TWO days that she is a fierce competitor. to pull it together in that short of a time period is so outstanding. with good skates these girls should have no problem getting 3 spots back. i have total confidence in ashley because of her mindset, and everyone knows that defending your title is the hardest the first time. who wouldn't have had nerves? ashley is hungry for gold and is out to win and will do anything to make that happen. i know she is going to train super hard for 4CC and worlds to make sure that kind of skate won't happen again. i also hope she throws in a 3+3 in the short and at least a 2A+3T in the long at 4CC to get her prepped for worlds.
christina was robbed of a medal. 5th was so undeserved, she skated so much more better than that. i don't know why USFSA is keeping agnes on the podium. i love her jumps, but as someone else said, what has she really accomplished as a senior, especially internationally? she has been a senior for 3 seasons now and she can't put together a clean short and long yet. she isn't reliable, whereas christina was fairly successful on the GP this season and even made the final. yes she had the mistake on the spin in her short, but what other reason does USFSA have to hold her down? nothing. agnes had more mistakes overall than her.
as for mirai, i am so heartbroken for her. even though i'm not her biggest fan i do support her and love certain aspects of her skating, and she worked so hard this past year. she made coaching changes, she has better programs, she is in better shape, and has been skating so much better than last year. the spark was starting to come back, and USFSA just blew it out. yes she is known for having many UR's throughout the years, but that program was better than 11th place and 7th overall, especially with her short program score. i was so sad to see her like that. i couldn't believe it.
as others have said, i think USFSA has officially said hasta la taco to mirai and caroline. even though agnes has been held up i think if she doens't show significant improvement before next year she will be written off, along with gao i am sad to say. they obviously don't think much of her for making her place 5th for the 4th time now. she deserves so much more. with these results i don't know how mirai, caroline, and gao will have the motivation to keep going. they pretty much told mirai last night she doesn't have a chance for sochi and obviously neither does caroline, and i will be a little surprised if they give christina a chance. if there are three spots, it will be ashley, gracie (which are two smart picks), and agnes, for whatever reason.
this sport is so unfair. the judging is going to push so many skaters away, no matter what level they're at. even the newbies were held down, and most of them skated lights out. hannah was underscored, as was ashley cain IMO. i don't know. i'm disappointed.

From the trenches here in Omaha, the diehard fans I know that know way more than I do think that Ashley was given a early christmas present. So do I. We feel for and love Mirai but the poor girl is sick....its hard enough to skate when you are well...but the system needs change and that is a univeral feeling here amoung the fans....a fall is zero points. Period. Clean and artistic needs to be rewarded. There was a mens skater today who is very tall and skated a slow, artistic and well paced program....everyone enjoyed his artistry even though he was slow.
I dont know what will happen to Mirai...maybe she will pull a Mao and rework her jumps....maybe she goes away. I wish the best for her and for happiness no matter what happens. She has a tough decision just like Lynn and Logan do. Is it time to say goodbye and move on or not? I love this sport but it is very cruel. Me? I am just a fan that likes artisty. And if you were in the front row when Gracie Gold did her Free skate, you would have given her a standing ovation too...
I think at some point people need to stop pointing fingers at the USFSA and understand the skaters are accountable for what they put out there. Mirai's COC LP was arguably superior to her skate last night, yet at Nationals she scored almost 6 points higher. She has been docked points for underrotations all year and she failed to fully rotate a number of her jumps last night. The complaints should be directed to a scoring system that values falls over downgrades, not some conspiracy that the USFSA is trying to promote Gracie (with a 9th place SP) and slam Mirai (with her 3rd place SP).
Its funny that you should ask that cause I was just thinking that I heard NO ONE say this person or that person should have won....only that Ashley was overscored....the crowd as a whole booed Mirai's placement...our hearts broke. I have COPD. I have no idea how Mirai found the strenght to go out there with damaged lungs, etc and skate as well as she did. I have no idea what drugs they are allowed to take and not take....but I love her no matter what she does. Is she a girl? Is she too emotional? I refuse to critisize people on the ice here. Especially people who I have reason to believe are nice people off the ice. I dont have the courage to get out there in MY tutu and skate. I respect them all out on the ice. Some, Like Lynn and Logan, I love off the ice for what they do and what they will do for others. And some I hate for their poor sportsmanship and manners. But out there on the ice, well, MY tutu is going to rot in the closet....watch for me in the stands at SA and Boston!
Exactly. You can not discount Ashley's short program and the lead she had. Not like the old days....Ashley lost the free, fair and square. But she won the shooting match.
Having looked at the clips, IMO Ashley was simply relieved that she'd won, and wasn't rejoicing over Mirai's devastated reaction to her marks. Gracie of course wouldn't have been overjoyed that Ashley won, but at least was happy about going to Worlds after it seemed her SP would keep her out of the running.

Barclays Fantasy Investment Game
Our online Fantasy Investment Game is now closed
Players had the opportunity to manage their own fantasy funds in a risk-free environment, even competing with friends and colleagues. They each had a £100,000 pot of virtual money to invest and be in with a chance to win £10,000, as well as other fantastic prizes.
To view the previous winners in our prestigious hall of fame, select from the years below. A massive thank you to everyone who participated.
2012 winners
Meet our 2012 Fantasy Investment portfolio winner
Let's hear it for Yawar S, who emerged top of the pile in a hard-fought contest to claim the first prize of £10,000.
Yawar is no stranger to our game, having bagged himself a monthly prize in last year's game. That got him thinking about just how well he could do if he entered right from the start and he was quick to sign up on time this year and be eligible for the top prize.
Familiar with the concept and structure of the game, he hit the ground running and began researching and selecting his funds straight away.
Keen to see how he could do over the 9-month period, he hoped for a top-50 finish but ending up doing much better.
It probably won't come as a shock to find out that Yawar is no novice and investments feature strongly in his academic and professional career. Familiar with the concept of managing a portfolio, he found the fund factsheets very useful in shaping his choices and quickly put together a strong portfolio.
His position at the top of the leader board meant almost daily log-ins as game fever took hold. Trading when he felt the need, usually 2-3 times a month, he kept a keen eye on his leader board rivals and found himself learning more every month.
A massive tennis fan, Yawar intends to spend some of his winnings on a hospitality box for the final of this year's ATP tennis event. Another 25% is to be allocated to his personal finances and the rest he will decide on at a later date.
Retired council worker wins 5k
Congratulations to Eliza R, who finished runner up this year and happily walked away with £5,000. Eliza heard about the game on a coach tour and having never done anything like this before, decided to look in to it. Curious, she went online and decided there was nothing to lose by giving it a go. Her main aim was to have some fun while learning about investing and she never dreamed she would be in contention for a main prize.
As a first-time player, she opted for some of the more risky funds to begin with and was pleasantly surprised to see this strategy, based
more on instinct than anything else, prove to be a winning one. Her climb up the leader board caught her attention and she began to look at the best way to consolidate her position at the top. Checking in a few times a month, she changed track and chose some more conservative funds in an effort to stay near the top.
Eliza's performance demonstrates how much can be achieved despite not having any previous investment experience. Playing the game has increased her confidence as an investor and she found the process very informative.
Still astonished with her final position, Eliza is now thinking of ways to spend her prize money and is considering treating herself to a new car. Not a bad return for a first-time player.
A keen eye on the market nets Chris a third-place prize
Well done Chris H, who has bagged £2,500 as a result of his third-place finish in this year's game. An industry professional and fund specialist, Chris came to the game equipped with investment knowledge but assumed that it would turn out to be no more than a bit of fun.
Intending to enjoy the fund selection process and add to his knowledge, Chris soon became engrossed in the game and his climb up the leader board resulted in this bit of fun turning towards strategy and planning.
In March, he won an Apple iPad and then really started to take things seriously, logging in a lot more. Examining the market before trading, he felt it best to shift to some of the more defensive funds and this proved to be a useful strategy as he maintained his position towards the top of the leader board.
Chris thoroughly enjoyed the game and felt its key plus points were the number of funds to choose from as well as the ability to see the his competitors' portfolios.
Very pleased with this rewarding experience, Chris is busy making plans on how to spend his £2,500 prize and feels a family holiday and a Barclays ISA are a good way to enjoy his new gains.
2011 winners
Meet our 2011 Fantasy Investment portfolio winner
Congratulations to Michael K, a retired civil engineer from Belfast who recently saw off all competitors to seize the top prize of £25,000.
Our online Fantasy Investment Game generated a huge response from those eager to try their luck at fund investing but one man rose above all before him to claim the top prize.
A recent chat with the delighted Michael found him reflecting with satisfaction on his amazing journey with Barclays. A Formula One motor racing fan, he was tempted by an online advertisement to enter our game with modest expectations of hoping to achieve a top-100
spot. Little did he know what lay in store.
Neither complete novice nor hardcore investor, Michael proved that focus, enthusiasm, patience and diligence can reap rewards in the long run. With a keen eye on his competitors, he set about building his portfolio on a few simple, yet effective principles.
His strategy involved sticking to just 5 funds and taking the view that it is better to deal than not deal. Taking risks early to gain some momentum, he adopted a proactive approach to dealing and this 'he who dares' attitude paid dividends as he climbed to third on the leader board.
Monitoring his portfolio and the financial news regularly, his view of the market encouraged him to hold off until things slipped below 7% before making his move. Avoiding both the volatile gold funds and the less ambitious cautious funds, he quickly developed a trading strategy that reflected his risk attitude while enabling him to respond quickly to market events. Electing to spread your investments over a number of funds proves that sometimes the market can work with you.
Michael thoroughly enjoyed the fund selection and trading process and quickly became engrossed in the investment process. The game was massive fun and has given him renewed zest for the market. Still a bit stunned from his unexpected success, Michael is not yet certain what he'll do with the prize money but a foreign holiday is high on his agenda.
Mum-to-be gains £10,000 Fantasy Investment Game prize
With a baby en route, £10,000 in the bank does no harm at all and that is just one of the reasons why Sharon S has a broader smile than most these days.
The busy mum of four, a mental health nurse from Scotland, was thrilled to discover that another bundle of joy valued at £10,000 will also be with her soon due to her excellent second-place performance in the Barclays Fantasy Investment Game.
The online competition allowed users to pick from a selection of funds
and watch their investments rise and fall over a period of 9 months. To her astonishment as a novice investor, Sharon moved swiftly up the leader board where she remained for the duration of the competition only to be edged off the top spot in the exciting closing stages.
An excited Sharon told us she found the whole experience very informative and rewarding and now feels much more comfortable about investing. Informed by a work colleague about the competition, she entered with nothing to lose and hoping only to gain some investing tips and extra knowledge. From such modest beginnings spring great things.
Following press clippings and online information as and when she could, Sharon's strategy was to start out with some risky funds – it was a game after all – and then consolidate her initial success with a more cautious approach. Market events proved her reluctance to be overly adventurous was sound logic as her funds maintained steady progress throughout. She traded when she felt the need but never for the sake of it and found the fund fact sheets provided online to be a useful guide for her strategy.
Sharon enjoyed the whole process of fund selection, navigating the site, executing the trades and monitoring the progress of both herself and the growing list of players. She was surprised at how quickly she got to grips with investing and is keen to learn more.
Understandably, her new baby is dominating her thoughts and for now, her spending plans for her prize money mirror the more cautious parts of her fantasy portfolio – she intends to keep it in the bank and perhaps invest it over time. For now, maternal matters take priority over her finances.
£5,000 for giving it a go, not bad
Another success story for you courtesy of the Barclays Fantasy Investment Game, which has proven to be a huge hit with those looking to try some investing without the financial commitment.
We are delighted with the public response, but not as thrilled as Chris D, an electronics manufacturing professional from Stockport, whose astute dealings netted him a third-place finish to the tune of £5,000.
This long-term Barclays customer has delved into the market to some degree in the past with ISAs and some share dealing, but the game
involved a far more detailed look at the market. Happily, Chris was up to the challenge and once the game advertisement on the Barclays site caught his eye, he was hooked.
With an eye on the cash prize, Chris thought this would be a fun way to re-enter the investment world and he quickly began a fund-selection process based on daily media fund reviews and finance commentary. Encouraged by his funds' steady improvement, he delved further into the research and took to daily monitoring of his online portfolio, trading in response to what was happening in the market.
It proved to be genuinely addictive for Chris, who expected it to be mildly diverting at best at first but found himself logging even when on holiday overseas to check his progress. Like many others, the thrill of success left him wanting more and his desire was reflected in an impressive climb up the leader board. Logging in daily as the competition reached its conclusion, Chris traded regularly and did not hesitate to change the makeup of his fund selection if he saw the need.
Pleased with his success and happy to have a lot more stock market knowledge, his thoughts are now turning towards spending his winnings. He intends to use part of the cash prize for his personal finances and the rest on what is sure to be a fantastic trip to New York.
Another happy winner walks away with a cash prize, who says it's just a game?

Did you enjoy all of 2011's brilliant games? You did? That's fantastic. Now forget about them all immediately, and start secreting from your hype glands in frothy anticipation for what's coming out in 2012. While there's bound to be some stuff announced later - like the next Call of Duty - here's our picks of upcoming 2012 games we already know about, part two:
Diablo III
Clickclickclick. Clickclickclickclickclick. Click. Clickclickclick. We love Diablo - it's the most moreish combination of clicking and questing we've ever seen, and it's been over a decade since we last saw the series in all its loot-gathering glory. Blizzard has a well-earned reputation for producing nothing but excellent games, and while we're a bit cautious over its new real-money auction house, we can't wait to lose six months of the year crafting the perfect character.

STYLE: Belgian Tripel
Aroma: Complex with moderate to significant spiciness, moderate fruity esters and low alcohol and hop aromas. Generous spicy, peppery, sometimes clove-like phenols. Esters are often reminiscent of citrus fruits such as oranges, but may sometimes have a slight banana character. A low yet distinctive spicy, floral, sometimes perfumy hop character is usually found. Alcohols are soft, spicy and low in intensity. No hot alcohol or solventy aromas. The malt character is light. No diacetyl.
Appearance: Deep yellow to deep gold in color. Good clarity. Effervescent. Long-lasting, creamy, rocky, white head resulting in characteristic "Belgian lace" on the glass as it fades.
Flavor: Marriage of spicy, fruity and alcohol flavors supported by a soft malt character. Low to moderate phenols are peppery in character. Esters are reminiscent of citrus fruit such as orange or sometimes lemon. A low to moderate spicy hop character is usually found. Alcohols are soft, spicy, often a bit sweet and low in intensity. Bitterness is typically medium to high from a combination of hop bitterness and yeast-produced phenolics. Substantial carbonation and bitterness lends a dry finish with a moderately bitter aftertaste. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body, although lighter than the substantial gravity would suggest (thanks to candi sugar and high carbonation). High alcohol content adds a pleasant creaminess but little to no obvious warming sensation. No hot alcohol or solventy character. Always effervescent. Never astringent. Overall Impression: Strongly resembles a Strong Golden Ale but slightly darker and somewhat fuller-bodied. History: Originally developed at the Trappist monastery at Westmalle.
Comments: High in alcohol but does not taste strongly of alcohol. The best examples are sneaky, not obvious. High carbonation helps to bring out the many flavors and to increase the perception of a dry finish.
Ingredients: The light color and relatively light body for a beer of this strength are the result of using pilsner malt and up to 20% white candi sugar (sucrose). Noble hops or Styrian Goldings are commonly used. Belgian yeast strains are used - those that produce fruity esters, spicy phenolics and higher alcohols - often aided by slightly warmer fermentation temperatures.

text: Jacob Gordin (1853-1909) completed "Der Yidisher Kenig Lir" in 1892. He was born in the Ukraine, but emigrated to New York in 1891. Jacob Gordin adapted his script from Shakespeare and the Russian writer Nikolai Leskov's "King Lear of the Steppe", and he set it in 19th century Russia, establishing a new kind of realism in local Yiddish drama. Jacob Adler (1855-1926) played the Lear role in New York before appearing in London as David Moschles, "the modern King Lear," a version ending happily like Nahum Tate's. Adler was popularly known as "the Jewish Irving" and his Shylock was equally famous.

''His arm action's good; he's throwing free and easy...He's not close to throwing off a mound yet. There's some issues
there, no question.''
No, not a reprint of a 2005 article or 2004 article or 2006 article, but rather Larry Rotschild talking about Rich Harden at the Cubs Convention on Saturday. Don't worry though, the Cubs have the spin ready.
Cubs insiders say Harden is right on schedule toward a strong, on-time
and well-conditioned start to spring training and the season.
Of course they believe that...but what about this?
But sources also confirmed Saturday that Harden has a tear in the
joint, just severe enough that some players might seek surgery but
slight enough to be in a range often treated effectively with a
strengthening program, therapy and a well- managed work schedule.
A tear you say, never had any problems with one of those.
That's more than the Cubs let on last fall, even after the
revelation that Harden had a cortisone shot for ''rotator tendinitis.''
But Harden has been working six days a week this offseason on a
program that might be the most rigorous of any Cub -- and the first of
his career to focus this strongly on his shoulder, team officials say.
In fact, the team estimates his shoulder is stronger now than it was
when he joined the team in July and started piling up 97 mph scoreless
Other things the Cubs have estimated over the years: Sosa would never become a problem with the team and will be beloved by all fans, Kerry Wood and Mark Prior would pitch full seasons in 2006 and 2005, and that they'd win a World Series sometime within the last 100 years.
''I'm on a set program, and I'm not behind at all,'' Harden said.
''I'm right on schedule and feeling great. I'll be ready for the start
of the season for sure. There's no doubt in my mind. Nobody has any
doubts whether I'll be ready or not. I will.''
If anything, that might have been the confusion with Rothschild's
comments -- that Harden isn't ready to throw from a mound by design.
He's on a deliberate throwing program to ease him up to pitching
condition by the end of an extra-long 2009 spring training.
They tried that shit with Mark Prior.
it didn't work.
Anyone have Kevin Towers phone number?
Dr. Hecht's medical take is below.
Re: Crane Kenney
what was No.1?
Re: Crane Kenney
He didn't kill the hooker. The hooker killed Kenney.
You bastard!
Re: Rich Hill - Sayonara
Like he wasn't trying to sell quite low enough.
Re: S***
Interesting, when I googled (or Yahoo!ed, rather) 'Garret Olsen', this is the first result:
Re: S***
This is like a two years younger Rich Hill, no?
Let's see what Jimbo gets for Rich Hill and Cedeno. Anyone else think they should hang onto Cedeno or try to get a utility infielder back in one of the deals? Who's behind Miles at SS? What happens if we lose a middle infielder to injury? Andres Blanco?
Honestly, though, how many outfielders does the team need? Soriano, Fukudome, Bradley, Johnson, Hoffpauir (LF, emergency RF), and Fuld in AAA, plus this Brad Snyder dude. Joey Gathright really needs to be on the 40 man roster? Doesn't Fuld bring the same skill set, except mostly better?
Re: S***
What can the Cubs possibly get for Hill? He's working on a full big league season and one winter league stint of almost complete control of any pitch. Going back through his entire minor league career he's had to be "motivated" at various points to regain his control, and while up until 2007 it looked like he was headed in the right direction, what team is going to trade for him with an eye toward putting him on the 40-man?
The only thing that's going to provide him with another opportunity from anyone is that he's left handed. The Cubs will be lucky to get a single A player in return.
Re: S***
If that's the case, why not carry Hill as the second lefty in the pen and send Olson to Iowa to rack up some innings? You don't have to use the second lefty much unless he's effective, and you can always give Hill away later, or release him. Hill's really only ever had the two pitches anyway--maybe he'd make a good loogy. If it turns out he's injured, they can put him on the DL and not lose him that way. If you can't get anything of value for him, then any of these options make more sense, I think. Why sell so low when it doesn't take all that much creativity to buy time? Sure, Hill could lose more value through continued struggles, but what do you really lose in that case as opposed to now? A nondescript A-ball player?
Re: S***
Because he can't find the plate.....?
Remember his starts with the Cubs last year. In the last 2 I believe Lou couldn't finagle him past the 2nd inning. How can he pitch either long or short when he can't throw strikes?
A guy with the yips really has no value. The only value that Hill has at this point is to a team that would have the patience and time to try to work his kinks out. The Cubs have neither, and I don't think any other contender is going to take any kind of flyer on him for more than a fringe prospect.
Re: S***
More Rumors
Other rumors have the Cubs taking a look at Kris Benson (while I take another look at Anna Benson) and the Orioles are supposedly not going to extend Brian Roberts, but are also likely not going to trade him.
I don't want to get the whole Brian Roberts rumor mill stirred up again (or maybe I do), but why wouldn't the Orioles want to trade Brian Roberts. Unless they choose to decide the AL East by listing the teams alphabetically, Baltimore will not be contending for a division title or wildcard birth. That is pretty much a foregone conclusion (isn't it?). So why not trade Roberts for some prospects that will help the Orioles in the future. Baltimore can finish 4th or 5th in the division either with Roberts or without him.
Re: More Rumors
Had to google Anna Benson...too bad Moderate Safe Search is on at school, or i could only imagine.
Re: S***
also, the cubs get another player in the Pie deal...
The Cubs have reached agreement with the Orioles on a deal that will send Pie to Baltimore for left-hander Garrett Olson and Class A right-hander Henry Williamson, according to major-league sources.
article speculates that Olson will be 2nd lefty (after Cotts) in the pen, freeing up Marshall for the 5th starter position.
Re: S***
the Baltimore Sun link
Williamson went 0-1 with 42 strikeouts and a 3.72 ERA in 29 1/3 innings with Single-A Aberdeen and Delmarva in 2008.
(42K's in 29 IP, sounds promising)
Re: S***
more stats on Williamson:
another tall pitcher: 6'5", 225. Righty.
but I wonder why only 29 innings?
Re: S***
Cubs should start worrying about starting pitching for this season.
You can't count on Harden.
So that leaves you Dempster,Lilly and half blind and sore shoulder Z.
No wonder Hendry was trying to deal for Peavey.
Re: S***
I thought at the time of the trade there was an article somewhere about the A's training staff re working Harden's workout to get him away from throwing off the mound, because he was a power pitcher it wasnt as vital as it it would for a finese pitcher.
Recent comments
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

NEW CUMBERLAND-Portions of Tomlinson Run that are eroding may get a new lease on life now that Hancock County commissioners have approved a contract extension for an improvement project.
Portions of Tomlinson Run that run parallel with state Route 8 are in need of creek bank restoration because of erosion and sediment runoff, Commissioner Jeff Davis said.
Several years ago, the county, in cooperation with the West Virginia Conservation Agency, improved a section of Tomlinson Run just north of Middle Run Road.
"A lot of the erosion problems in that area have ceased," Davis said.
On Thursday, commissioners approved a contract with the West Virginia Conservation Agency that extends to the end of 2017 and allows more erosion-control work to be done on Tomlinson Run-this time in the area of Stewart Run Road.
The next part of the Upper Tomlinson Channel Project probably will not start until sometime next summer, Davis said.
The contract calls for channel restoration by sloping the bank and creating a five-foot bench for the "stabilization, restoration and repair" of a designated section of Tomlinson Run.
Total cost of the project is not to exceed $22,000, with county commissioners picking up 32 percent of the cost and the West Virginia State Conservation Committee covering the balance. The committee also will provide technical and administrative oversight.
Also Thursday, commissioners approved a request from Sheriff Mike White to spend $9,803 on equipment for the sheriff's department's Special Reaction Team, which is similar to a SWAT team.
The equipment includes a tactical vest, a tactical helmet, a short-barrel rifle and a holographic sight.
The money will come from the special project budget.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Detectives are investigating an armed robbery that occurred last week at a North Lake Tahoe gas station where a masked gunman fired a gunshot before fleeing with cash, officials confirmed Monday.
The robbery occurred at about 8:45 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2, at the Incline Village Chevron gas station at 898 Tahoe Blvd., a manager with the business, Doug Brown, told the Bonanza in a Monday morning interview.
According to a press release issued a few hours later by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, a male masked suspect discharged a "silver colored long barrel revolver inside the store," which had no patrons inside. The gunman fled with an undisclosed amount of money. The lone employee inside the store at the time was not hurt.
The suspect was last seen wearing a heavy blue jacket, blue pants and a red bandana over his face.
In a Monday afternoon phone interview, WCSO PIO Armando Avina said residents should not be concerned or feel threatened that there's "a person going out committing numerous armed robberies in Incline Village."
When asked why the office waited more than five days to inform the media and public of the incident, Avina said it was partly due to the ongoing detectives' investigation.
"Whenever there's an event like this, we don't immediately inform ... the public because it's possible some information could be detrimental to the investigation and to the ... potential prosecution," he said.
Once the suspect fled, the Chevron employee dialed 911, Brown told the Bonanza earlier Monday, and WCSO deputies responded "immediately." Brown declined to comment on specifics, due to the investigation, he said.
Following up on several news tips late last week of an armed robbery, the Bonanza spoke with a WCSO official on Friday on the phone and via email. Upon learning no information, the Bonanza also contacted two other WCSO officials Monday morning, leaving a message for one and speaking with another.
As of Monday morning, no one from WCSO could comment on the incident.
Prior to the Washoe press release coming out, Placer County Sheriff's Office Sgt. John Giovannini confirmed in a separate phone interview that the Incline Village incident had occurred last Wednesday.
He also confirmed an attempted robbery had occurred the evening of Saturday, Dec. 29, at Kings Beach Liquors (formerly Spirits of Tahoe) at 8645 North Lake Blvd. in Kings Beach. The suspect appeared to possess a handgun or "perhaps a revolver," Giovannini said, and was masked.
Giovannini said detectives with both sheriff's offices investigating the incidents believe they are related.
"We do believe they are connected, yes," he said.
On Monday, Avina confirmed Placer and Washoe are working together, and said both sides have yet to rule out the incidents could be related.
PCSO handles crimes in California's Placer County, while WCSO handles crimes in Nevada's Washoe County. The state line that splits Lake Tahoe separates the counties; Kings Beach, Calif., and Incline Village, Nev., are roughly four miles apart.
Anyone with information about the armed robbery is urged to call WCSO at 775-328-3336 or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900, or visit www.secretwitness.com.
