Sen. Roy McDonald alleges 43rd Senate District primary challenger Kathy Marchione mailer is inaccurate
HALFMOON — Sen. Roy McDonald has lodged a formal complaint against his challenger in next month's Republican primary, arguing she has engaged in a variety of improper and unfair campaign tactics.
The complaint, filed Friday with a fair campaign organization founded by local Leagues of Women Voters, alleges Saratoga County Clerk Kathy Marchione attempted "to anonymously and inaccurately attack and distort" McDonald's track record through material that was included in a recent campaign mailer.
A Marchione spokesman denied the allegations Friday afternoon, less than six weeks before McDonald and Marchione will square off in a primary for the GOP nomination for the newly redrawn 43rd state Senate district, which encompasses portions of Saratoga, Washington, Rensselaer and Columbia counties.
McDonald's campaign asks Fair Campaign Practices for the Capital Region Inc. to review a Marchione campaign mailer that primarily focuses on McDonald's 2011 vote to legalize same-sex marriage. Marchione, a former Halfmoon town supervisor, has said she would not have supported the initiative.
The McDonald campaign claims the mailer inaccurately quotes a January 2012 New York Times article that highlighted how "gay rights advocates" from across the country donated to McDonald's campaign after he crossed party lines to help the measure pass the state Legislature.
Those donations had helped McDonald build a $500,000 campaign financing edge over Marchione in January campaign filings, though recent fundraising by Marchione has helped closed the gap.
In Marchione's mailer, the word "advocates" is parenthetically substituted by "activists." McDonald's spokesman, Michael Veitch, said that is a blatant distortion, arguing that "activists" has a "negative connotation" that is not attached to the word "advocates."
The same mailer includes a reference to McDonald's now-famous line in which he expressed disdain for partisan politics and told reporters he was "trying to do the right thing." McDonald dismissed political recoil from his impending same-sex marriage vote by saying "they can take the job and shove it."
In the mailer, "take the job and shove it" is quoted — as it should be, Veitch said. But another page argues McDonald broke his promise to voters and told upset constituents "to basically 'get lost?' " Get lost appears in quotations without attribution, which Veitch argues makes it seem like McDonald said it directly.
"He's never told the voters to 'get lost,' " Veitch said. Continued...
That mailer, plus a second piece of campaign literature that argues McDonald broke a promise when he voted for new district lines, allegedly also does not indicate the organization responsible for sending the mailer, the complaint states. That is a violation of the Fair Campaign Practices' candidate handbook, Veitch argues.
The return address on both pieces is that of Marchione's campaign, but her election committee's name is absent. That is in contrast to Marchione's first mailer, a strictly pro-Marchione piece that focuses on her track record. Her committee's name appears above the return address on that mailer.
Marchione spokesman Ken Girardin said the campaign "didn't try to obscure" the two mailers' origins and there was "no particular reason" why the committee's name was not listed. He said he believed it was "just a question of formatting and style," calling the filing a "typical complaint from a typical Albany politician."
"Obviously, Roy McDonald didn't want the voters being reminded that he told them to 'take the job and shove it,' " Girardin said. "I imagine he also didn't want them to learn about his record of supporting reckless Albany spending and then raising taxes to pay for it. But if Roy didn't want people talking about something, he shouldn't have done it in the first place."

International and Area Studies
Program Information
Professor: Dugas (Director)
This program is designed for students who have strong international interests and wish to pursue these interests systematically in their academic studies. The program in international and area studies reflects the College''s belief that three kinds of skills and knowledge are essential for international understanding. The first of these is the ability to analyze issues that are global—issues that pertain to the interrelationships among the peoples of the world. The second is skill in making explicit, systematic comparisons between dimensions of social or cultural life in two or more societies, as well as acquiring the special kinds of insights resulting from such comparative analysis. The third is in-depth knowledge of a particular area of the world—its geography, history, culture, and/or institutions. These areas may be a nation, a subcontinent, or a continent.
With the proper mix of courses providing global/comparative and area experiences, mastery of a foreign language, study abroad, experiences in international cocurricular activities, the two required IAST courses (for majors), internationally-oriented Career and Professional Development and SIP, students majoring in international and area studies will be well prepared to live in and to make sense of the interdependent system of nations and regions that make up the modern world. They will also have received a solid foundation for graduate study and/or further training for careers in the international sphere.
The program in international and area studies is open to all students.
In addition to meeting formal requirements, majors are urged to consider international Career and Professional Development internships as well as SIPs in consultation with the Career and Professional Development Center.

JUSTIN Kyllo is still the king of the grill - at least according to the judges at the Canadian National BBQ Championships.
The North Vancouverite and former autoworker outcooked the competition at the popular annual cook-off in Whistler over the B.C. Day long weekend, taking home top prize for the second time in four years.
The reining champ's culinary secret? Seclusion. "I really wanted to win this and I wanted to be left alone, so that's what we did," said Kyllo, who also won the event in 2009.
Rather than cooking on the main drag, Kyllo requested a somewhat secluded spot that would allow him to focus on his pork shoulder, ribs, chicken, and beef brisket.
"We didn't want to be out on the main course," he said. "I was really focused this year and didn't want to be distracted by sampling and the crowds."
Kyllo's victory over 32 charcoal challengers, mainly from B.C. and Alberta, earned him a new barbecue, $1,500 in prize money and $3,000 in travel vouchers, which he's already planning to use for a January scuba vacation.
Kyllo's wife, Cheryl, was by his side at the competition, helping to oversee the beef brisket during its 14 hours on the grill at a temperature of about 200 degrees.
"My beef brisket has won me a lot of money over the last few years," he said. "In my opinion, that's the best barbecued (meat) there is."
While it is difficult to cook well, Texas-style beef brisket can have the most rewarding flavour, according to Kyllo.
"It's tough," he said. "It was a garbage meat at one time, because the only way they figured out how to cook it was to cure it and then boil it, like what they do with corned beef or pastrami," he said. "We cook them all night long. . . . It's real barbecue. There's no gas."
The difference in taste between wood grilling and propane cooking is enormous, according to Kyllo.
"That smoke just imparts a flavour into the meat," he said. "Most people who have never had real barbecue, the first time they have it, they just can't believe how good it is.
"It's got to be something primal in us. That's how we originally cooked our food, right? Over fires."
Kyllo uses charcoal as a base and wood for flavour, and advises novice grillers to follow his lead.
"The biggest tip I can give you for the least amount of money is to go buy - and I know this sounds strange - go buy a charcoal grill," he said. "Go buy a $90 charcoal grill, like a Weber charcoal grill, because that alone will make your food taste better than your $1,000 gas grill."
While some ambitious cooks raid the spice cabinet to season their meat, Kyllo is in favour of a simple rub.
"You need an equal balance of sweet, salty, and some spices," he said.
"Even the top chefs, when they're finishing their meals before they're putting them out, they're seasoning them with salt and pepper."
The victory also landed Kyllo automatic entry into the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tenn. He's also slated to compete in the barbecuing portion of the World Food Championships in Las Vegas this November.
A longtime autoworker, Kyllo was forced to look for a new career after a debilitating paragliding accident in 2002.
Discussing travelling to Kansas City for a competition after heading to the Kamloops Ribfest, Kyllo laughed and said: "That's my work schedule."
"I was unhappy as an autoworker," he said. "I'd done it; I wanted a new trade. I had young kids, I didn't know what to do. And everything worked out, and my life is just so different. I have a pretty cool life."

Try it, can't hurt much!
I know nothing about pumps and wells and aerators, all of which I am dependent on for water in my home. I read a thread where someone had to fill the aerator with the hose from the submersible pump (working fine) into the aerator. I looked in my aerator and there is very little water in it. If I fill it with the aerator with the hose, Do you think I could get by until Monday when I can get (another) professional out here? I kept getting air in my lines. The last company (2 weeks ago) said the whole system looked just fine. I would love to take a shower. Wash some dishes....
Hope someone is on line Christmas Day...
Thank you!
Try it, can't hurt much!
IF the sub pump is working fine (meaning it delivers water into the aerator), you have a problem with the pump that takes water out of the aerator; I'm assuming a tank type aerator. If the pump that does that doesn't run, check the pressure switch. If there isn't enough water in the aerator, the submersible pump isn't working fine, check the switch or float/flow switch(s) that operates the sub pump.

I posted a huge thank you and I didn't see it post...

filling up the aerator with water from the hose
don't a a flow device -- mystified.
I think that means you don't have a flow device (switch), so what controls the water level in the aerator tank; my guess is a float switch or float valve like in a toilet?
You need to find out what prevented the aerator tank from refilling when it should have before you burn up the aerator pump because of no water in the aerator tank.
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
if no valves are closed and your well pump is working.. unscrew the sprayers in the aerator and see if they are clogged.
I think the toilet thing is right on -- the bathroom on the side of the house where the well pump and the rest of the equipment, is never used. Problem started when I had a guest...
Looked in the tank and it has an unusual looking fixture in that the other toilets don't have...
A leaking toilet, or any other water leak after the aerator tank will call for the repressurization pump in or at the aerator to run and as the water in the aerator tank falls, something turns on the well pump on which then refills the aerator tank.
If you don't have enough water in the aerator tank, you have to find out why. Blocked spray heads, bad well pump, water leak in the well system, bad float switch or float valve stuck closed in aerator that controls the well pump, bad pressure switch for the well pump, no power to well pump (which should be checked first).
I had asked you what controls the well pump....

Mining museum to close
Last updated at 20:36, Thursday, 16 August 2012
A museum about Cumbria's mining heritage has been forced to close because no one will take it on.
Ian Tyler launched Keswick Mining Museum 25 years ago with his wife Jean.
He plans to retire, and a two-year search to find a museum, local authority or university to take over the collection has proven fruitless.
Now the thousands of exhibits have been split up and sold to private collectors.
Mr Tyler, who lives near Carlisle, said: "Tourism in this county has lost an incredible asset. It is probably the finest mining museum in the country.
"It's the story of the land, the story of Cumbrian mountains and what they gave us – our roads, our ports and our railways.
"It employed thousands of people and is basically ignored by the establishment."
Originally from Lancaster, Mr Tyler developed an interest in Cumbria's mining past through walking the Lake District fells more than four decades ago.
He added: "I got heavily into underground exploration and started to build up a massive archive of mining information."
With only two books then available for people interested in mining, Mr and Mrs Tyler began writing the first of 12 books on the subject.
The couple launched the museum at Priests Mill, Caldbeck, then moved to Otley Road in Keswick when the collection outgrew its original premises.
Mr Tyler said: "What we've got is a landscape and a ruin.
"I have looked at every document in the Carlisle archive, Barrow archive and Kendal archive and other places to build up the picture, which has taken thousands of man hours."
In summer 2007 Mr and Mrs Tyler decided to retire, but soon afterwards Mrs Tyler was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died six months later.
Her husband kept the museum on as he came to terms with his loss but now the time has come to finally hang up his museum keys for good.
Mr Tyler, the founder and chairman of Mines of Lakeland Exploration Society, said: "I am way beyond retirement age. I want to be on the fells while I'm still relatively fit."
More than two years ago he started looking for a buyer for his collection, eventually taking the difficult decision to split it up.
He said: "It is soul destroying. It's my passion to bring to people's awareness what this is all about so it doesn't get forgotten.
"I am sad that this collection hasn't been taken on by the establishment."
He aims to close by October 1, but could shut earlier as the displays in the museum begin to be collected by new owners.

Two interconnected platinum hearts dangle from this platinum bead chain. Each heart has a gently sweeping shape to lay nicely and catch the light beautifully.
Pendant Information
Stock number: | 6551 |
950 Platinum |
Clasp: | Lobster claw clasp |
Chain length: | |
Length: | 7/8 inch |
Approximate weight: | 6.3 grams |
An absolutely beautiful piece of jewelry that my wife loved for her 20th anniversary gift.
The pendant was a little bigger than expected and looks really nice. The only issue was that the two hearts are seperate so they do get out of position.
I was surprised to find such an elegant necklace. My fiancée was very happy with the gift.
My wife loved the double heart pendant.
My wife absolutely loved this necklace. She is very happy with it. The only thing I would change about the necklace is the size. The picture on the website had me believe it was bigger than it is. It is still a beautiful necklace and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
My wife just loved the necklace,as always the products you have are the best.Thanks

Use these Martha Stewart Crafts punches together to create one continuous die-cut border. Punch your corners first and then use the edg... Full Description & Details.
I just bought this and have already used it so much. Love it. The design is gorgeous. It cuts very easily and takes little pressure. My favorite use is to create quick, attractive journaling cards.
Great for heritage edges on pages.
It's very easy to use once you put the little arms out for the corner punch. Of course I didn't read the instructions first. It's kinda difficult to line up the corner and the straight punches perfectly. The markings only work if you do the corners first and that would require you to know the exact size to match up the patterns. I made a guide paper, now it's easy.
Bordo fitto e ben disegnato. Ideale per un biglietto o una pagina tutt'altro che semplice. Effetto ricco.

Handmade Tales
By Max Leonard
Made in England is a forthcoming book co-written by two British frame builders about British handmade frames. Ricky Feather of Feather Cycles and Matthew Sowter of Saffron Frameworks have been travelling around the UK to interview builders about their craft, gaining an insight into their particular style, techniques and philosophy. They've talked to each artisan in his own workshop with photographer Kayti Peschke, house photographer at Bespoked Bristol (who also happens to be Ricky's wife), documenting everything from tools to teabags.
If you've ever been through the process of getting a bespoke frame made, you'll know how rewarding it is. Finding the right framebuilder for you; developing your ideas, talking it through; choosing the materials and being measured. If you haven't, this book can be a starting point, an inspiration or simply a celebration of artisans who, and with growing support, fly in the face of conventional bicycle production (let's face it, most production of anything).
The USA has led the charge with a community of people who are passionate about craftsmanship. Everywhere you go you find pockets of people producing beer, food, clothing, bags, furniture or bikes, one item at a time, with their own hands. Partly because of NAHBS (the North American Handbuilt Bike Show) which has collected together many of the craftspeople working across the expanse of the US, the handmade bicycle industry there has an international profile and voice, and gives the rest of us something to aim for.
There's no reason why that kind of resurgence can't happen here in the UK. It seems we're pretty good at riding bikes at the moment, and we've been world-beaters before in the framebuilding game - Freddie Grubb, Hetchins, Rotrax and others are coveted marques. A lot of the old guard are still there, quietly working away. And there's a new generation including Ricky, Matthew, Tom Donhou, Tom Warmerdam (of Demon Frameworks), Ted James, and Jon Aston (of Chickens Frame Emporium) who are learning, inspiring and doing their bit to spread the word.
As for the bike Ricky made me for the Rapha Continental UK, it gets better and better with every ride. We spent an afternoon drinking tea and chatting in his workshop outside York, talking over the intended use, the tubing we wanted to use, lugged v brazed, mudguard eyelets, forks, his riding, my riding … the lot. After being measured up it turned out I was sitting pretty on a 54cm-square frame; but to know that every angle is correct, all components are right, and that it was being made with care and attention by a friend is something incredibly special.
Its first official outing came at the Rapha Continental UK's launch at Bespoked Bristol. But it wasn't made to sit on a stand: it was made for long days on uncertain roads. Now, a couple of thousand miles in, the saddle position's tweaked, stem slammed, and it rides beautifully. It's comfortable, climbs well, and it's fast. And every time I ride it, I remember everything Ricky put into it. People talk of a bike for life, and then in the next breath mention their next dream purchase. A frame made by any of the builders in Made in England can be truly that.
The book is now available for pre-order here. A limited number of advance orders will come signed, and with a special edition photograph of the buyer's choice.

Hugo's Used Fighter Sale
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is taking another poke at the Uncle Sam. He's threatening to sell his nation's small fleet of F-16 fighters to Iran, apparently in retaliation for a U.S. ban on arms sales to his government.
General Alberto Mueller, an advisor to Chavez, has recommended to the defense minister that Venezuela sell its 21 F-16s to another country. Mueller said he thought it was worthwhile to consider "the feasibility of a negotiation with Iran for the sale of those planes." The comments came one day after the U.S. announced a ban on additional arms sales to Venezuela, which totaled $34 million last year. Before the ban was announced, Washington had been putting a slow squeeze on Venezuela's access to American military technology. Previously, the U.S. had refused Caracas's request for upgrades to its F-16s, the most capable fighter in the Venezuelan inventory. Members of the Chavez government have also suggested that Venezuela might "share" its F-16s with Cuba, in response to the U.S. arms ban.
Short of military action, there really isn't much we can do to block the F-16 transfer to Iran or Cuba, if Chavez decides to go ahead with the deal. But careful observers will note that neither Tehran or Havana is exactly jumping up and down at the prospect of obtaining Yanqui F-16s.
And with good reason. The F-16 is more than a sleek, 80s-era fighter jet. It's a complete weapons system. If you plan to operate the F-16, you'll need simulators, extensive training, infrastructure upgrades and a massive inventory of spare parts, among other things. Needless to say, those "extras" don't come cheap. Beyond that, there's the question of where you can actually obtain the stuff you need to operate an F-16 squadron. Limited quantities of spare parts and munitions can be purchased on the gray market, and Venezuela could provide some assistance in flight and maintenance instruction; but to make the jets fully operational, a customer needs access to U.S. contractor support and technical data, which (in turn) requires approval of the U.S. government. Obviously, George Bush and Don Rumsfeld aren't about to sign off on an F-16 transfer to Iran or Cuba.
What about other countries who have F-16s? Well, if those countries want continued access to U.S. military hardware, they can't afford to get caught in an illegal arms transfer involving a pariah state. True, there are some exceptions to this rule (Israel's transfer of F-16 technology to China in the Lavi/F-10 program comes to mind), but it's doubtful that any current U.S. customer--especially those with a desire for future arms sales--would accept the risks entailed in supporting an illegal sale of the Venezuelan jets.
Additionally, the Iranians and Cubans already have access to fourth-generation fighter technology, thanks to their acquisition of MiG-29 FULCRUMs from Russia. The FULCRUMs y in the Iranian and Cuban inventories are, in some ways, more sophisticated than the early-generation F-16s that Hugo is trying to unload. Iran and Cuba have something else in common, too: both have had difficulty in keeping their FULCRUMs in the air, despite full access to Russian training and technical support. Without similar assistance for the F-16s, those jets would become little more than ramp decorations at some Iranian or Cuban base, slowly rusting in the sun.
Case in point: remember those Iraqi aircraft that were flown to Iran at the end of Operation Desert Storm? To date, only a handful of those fighters have returned to operational service, and only with support from the Russians. French-built Iraqi aircraft (notably Mirage F-1s) have fared even worse, spending years on the tarmac before the Iranians managed to get a few airborne. Today, most are back on the ramp, grounded by a lack of spare parts, maintenance and qualified pilots.
It's also worth remembering that simply having a fourth-generation fighter doesn't give you state-of-the-art employment capabilities. Tactically, Iranian and Cuban fighter pilots are no match for their western counterparts, and that axiom holds true for whatever airframe they might operate, including the F-16. It takes years of effort to develop the doctrine and tactics required to maximize the F-16's combat capabilities, and that's something the Venezuelans simply don't have.
Mr. Chavez may be having a fire sale down at the ol' used fighter lot, but he's going to find a dearth of serious buyers, even among our adversaries. Havana and Tehran may kick the tires a few times, but they're unlikely to conclude a deal to acquire the F-16s. Like other countries, Cuba and Iran want useable combat systems--not expensive toys that simply fill up an aircraft parking ramp. One year from now, you're likely to find Hugo's F-16s in the same spot they currently occupy--on the tarmac at a Venezuelan Air Force base.

- G6b-B inhibits constitutive and agonist-induced signaling by glycoprotein VI and CLEC-2 (2008)
- Platelets play an essential role in wound healing by forming thrombi that plug holes in the walls of damaged blood vessels. To achieve this, platelets express a diverse array of cell surface receptors and signaling proteins that induce rapid platelet activation. In this study we show that two platelet glycoprotein receptors that signal via an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) or an ITAM-like domain, namely the collagen receptor complex glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-FcR γ-chain and the C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2), respectively, support constitutive (i.e. agonist-independent) signaling in a cell line model using a nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) transcriptional reporter assay that can detect low level activation of phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ). Constitutive and agonist signaling by both receptors is dependent on Src and Syk family kinases, and is inhibited by G6b-B, a platelet immunoglobulin receptor that has two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs in its cytosolic tail. Mutation of the conserved tyrosines in the two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs prevents the inhibitory action of G6b-B. Interestingly, the inhibitory activity of G6b-B is independent of the Src homology 2 (SH2)-domain containing tyrosine phosphatases, SHP1 and SHP2, and the inositol 5′-phosphatase, SHIP. Constitutive signaling via Src and Syk tyrosine kinases is observed in platelets and is associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of GPVI-FcR γ-chain and CLEC-2. We speculate that inhibition of constitutive signaling through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases by G6b-B may help to prevent unwanted platelet activation.
- Editorial: Experimental models of asthma (2008)
- Since 2002, a workshop entitled "Asthma in animal models" has been held once a year in Hannover, Germany. It is organized by the Fraunhofer Institute of Toxicology and Experimental Medicine in collaboration with the collaborative research centre "Sonderforschungsbereich" 587, "Immune reactions of the lung in infection and allergy" (Hannover Medical School). The aim of these meetings is an intense scientific exchange between researchers and clinicians coming from academic or industrial background. Over the years the topics within the extensive field of asthma and COPD have ranged from methodological aspects to the influence of infections and environmental factors up to perspectives in the development of new therapeutic strategies.
- Effect of montelukast on platelet activating factor- and tachykinin induced mucus secretion in the rat (2008)
- Background: Platelet activating factor and tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A, neurokinin B) are important mediators contributing to increased airway secretion in the context of different types of respiratory diseases including acute and chronic asthma. Leukotriene receptor antagonists are recommended as add-on therapy for this disease. The cys-leukotriene-1 receptor antagonist montelukast has been used in clinical asthma therapy during the last years. Besides its inhibitory action on bronchoconstriction, only little is known about its effects on airway secretions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of montelukast on platelet activating factor- and tachykinin induced tracheal secretory activity. Methods: The effects of montelukast on platelet activating factor- and tachykinin induced tracheal secretory activity in the rat were assessed by quantification of secreted 35SO4 labelled mucus macromolecules using the modified Ussing chamber technique. Results: Platelet activating factor potently stimulated airway secretion, which was completely inhibited by the platelet activating factor receptor antagonist WEB 2086 and montelukast. In contrast, montelukast had no effect on tachykinin induced tracheal secretory activity. Conclusion: Cys-leukotriene-1 receptor antagonism by montelukast reverses the secretagogue properties of platelet activating factor to the same degree as the specific platelet activating factor antagonist WEB 2086 but has no influence on treacheal secretion elicited by tachykinins. These results suggest a role of montelukast in the signal transduction pathway of platelet activating factor induced secretory activity of the airways and may further explain the beneficial properties of cys-leukotriene-1 receptor antagonists.
- Development and evaluation of a computer-based medical work assessment programme (2008)
- Background: There are several ways to conduct a job task analysis in medical work environments including pencil-paper observations, interviews and questionnaires. However these methods implicate bias problems such as high inter-individual deviations and risks of misjudgement. Computer-based observation helps to reduce these problems. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the development process of a computer-based job task analysis instrument for real-time observations to quantify the job tasks performed by physicians working in different medical settings. In addition reliability and validity data of this instrument will be demonstrated. Methods: This instrument was developed in consequential steps. First, lists comprising tasks performed by physicians in different care settings were classified. Afterwards content validity of task lists was proved. After establishing the final task categories, computer software was programmed and implemented in a mobile personal computer. At least inter-observer reliability was evaluated. Two trained observers recorded simultaneously tasks of the same physician. Results: Content validity of the task lists was confirmed by observations and experienced specialists of each medical area. Development process of the job task analysis instrument was completed successfully. Simultaneous records showed adequate interrater reliability. Conclusion: Initial results of this analysis supported the validity and reliability of this developed method for assessing physicians' working routines as well as organizational context factors. Based on results using this method, possible improvements for health professionals' work organisation can be identified.
- Global-scale modeling of groundwater recharge (2008)
- Long-term average groundwater recharge, which is equivalent to renewable groundwater resources, is the major limiting factor for the sustainable use of groundwater. Compared to surface water resources, groundwater resources are more protected from pollution, and their use is less restricted by seasonal and inter-annual flow variations. To support water management in a globalized world, it is necessary to estimate groundwater recharge at the global scale. Here, we present a best estimate of global-scale long-term average diffuse groundwater recharge (i.e. renewable groundwater resources) that has been calculated by the most recent version of the WaterGAP Global Hydrology Model WGHM (spatial resolution of 0.5° by 0.5°, daily time steps). The estimate was obtained using two state-of-the-art global data sets of gridded observed precipitation that we corrected for measurement errors, which also allowed to quantify the uncertainty due to these equally uncertain data sets. The standard WGHM groundwater recharge algorithm was modified for semi-arid and arid regions, based on independent estimates of diffuse groundwater recharge, which lead to an unbiased estimation of groundwater recharge in these regions. WGHM was tuned against observed long-term average river discharge at 1235 gauging stations by adjusting, individually for each basin, the partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration and total runoff. We estimate that global groundwater recharge was 12 666 km3/yr for the climate normal 1961–1990, i.e. 32% of total renewable water resources. In semi-arid and arid regions, mountainous regions, permafrost regions and in the Asian Monsoon region, groundwater recharge accounts for a lower fraction of total runoff, which makes these regions particularly vulnerable to seasonal and inter-annual precipitation variability and water pollution. Average per-capita renewable groundwater resources of countries vary between 8 m3/(capita yr) for Egypt to more than 1 million m3/(capita yr) for the Falkland Islands, the global average in the year 2000 being 2091 m3/(capita yr). Regarding the uncertainty of estimated groundwater resources due to the two precipitation data sets, deviation from the mean is 1.1% for the global value, and less than 1% for 50 out of the 165 countries considered, between 1 and 5% for 62, between 5 and 20% for 43 and between 20 and 80% for 10 countries. Deviations at the grid scale can be much larger, ranging between 0 and 186 mm/yr.

Not directly a redevelopment meeting issue but how does downtown Wheaton support this many check cashing places? The newest one is on the Georgia side of the Triangle near Dunkin Donuts, directly across from the incoming Safeway. It seems like these businesses might turn off potential buyers.
Along with the one at the former auto parts store near University and Grandview, we have at least 4 (and probably more) dedicated check-cashing places right around the Triangle. This does not include markets or laundromats that also offer these services.
On the other hand, it looks like a French bakery will take the spot of Asian Foods which was in the strip on University with Max's and CVS.
8:37 am on Friday, November 30, 2012
Commercial property owners can lease their space to any business allowed by the zoning. Unfortunately for Wheaton, this often results in multiple similar businesses. If the market can not sustain them, these small businesses will not survive and the cycle starts again.
9:30 am on Friday, November 30, 2012
ED - Unfortunately, the market does not sustain the similar types of businesses in Wheaton, and that is why certain groups are interested in maintaining very low rents in Wheaton. Additionally, some groups (e.g. LEDC) are trying to tie any new development in Wheaton with subsidies to some failed businesses.
9:50 am on Friday, November 30, 2012
ED--I understand the pseudo-capitalism applied to downtown Wheaton. My comment was a concern about how Wheaton is redeveloping.
Maybe, as you suggest, downtown Wheaton simply cannot support a Baskin-Robbins, Barnaby's pub, a bicycle store, Dusit Thai or Asian Foods, an Indonesian restaurant, or a children's gymnastics center (after a workers' center is placed next door).
But what potential homeowner, who may not know much about the area, wants to move into a place that supports 5-10 check-cashing places within 2 blocks, especially when many weren't here just a few years ago? If you were buying now, would you move into the area around the Safeway? As of now, County-assisted redevelopment plans consist, essentially, of one future government building. What the area does have is several recent check cashing businesses, large laundromats that used to be restaurants, tiendas, and some interesting businesses that bring to Wheaton people who would otherwise never come (like the fish store, Little Bitts, and the dance center). We love Moby Dick but not many people from outside Wheaton go there. And the strip malls around Georgia have many vacancies, though the county liquor store and the beer shops seem to do well.
Obviously anyone can open a business. That's not the point. The types of businesses being opened and sustained can and should be something for residents and potential residents to consider.
10:42 am on Friday, November 30, 2012
Anton - It is my understanding that any subsidies for small businesses will only apply to "sustainable" businesses. The key will be in deciding what "sustainable" is.
Commentous - I agree with much of what you say, but once Safeway opens and MNCPPC comes to Wheaton, retail space around these developments will become more desirable and more expensive. As a result, you'll probably see the types of businesses you would like to see. The government can not dictate the types of businesses that can open in any area (other than through zoning laws) and as much as some people don't like the idea of a government building in the heart of Wheaton, it is, in my opinion, the quickest way to get things moving.
12:00 pm on Friday, November 30, 2012
Though government cannot dictate businesses, its actions--whether supporting Costco, CASA worker centers, LEDC, the Coalition for the Fair Redevelopment of Wheaton, or a government building (as opposed to private development)--have an impact on how an area develops.
Also, on its face, one building may seem to be the quickest way to "get things moving," but I don't know how long it takes for County government to approve the design of and construct a large office building. Would you have information on how long this process usually takes from the point we're at in Wheaton right now? A company with a substantial investment would seem to want to move just as quickly as government officials. Just my opinion.
12:45 pm on Friday, November 30, 2012
Commentous - I have no idea how long it will take the government to approve the design and construction of a large office building or how long the process normally takes. As a resident of the Wheaton area, I would rather have the government commit to a building than to listen to years of discussions on public-private partnerships that may or may not happen, depending on the developer. BF Saul consistently stated that they "may" be able to build an office building and hotel, but wouldn't know until after a platform was constructed with taxpayer dollars, and JBG just pulled out of the Bethesda police department partnership. As far as the support dedicated to the other groups you mentioned, they do have an impact on how an area develops, but can not prevent the multiple check-cashing places you originally talked about. Personally, I'm not happy with $10 million dollars of my tax dollars going to Westfield since 2005, but what's done is done. By the way, I think you previously checked on the 400 free parking spaces in the Macy's garage for residents that want to walk-off - for the record, according to the Manager of Westfield Wheaton Mall, these spaces are still available based on the 2005 ($6 million) agreement with the County. If residents aren't using these spaces, they should - God knows they paid for them.

NY/NJ Baykeeper has been awarded a contract in the amount of $155,676.60 from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in support of the NY/NJ Baykeeper Oyster Restoration Program.
This funding will allow Baykeeper to evaluate three oyster support structures to determine which will provide the highest over-winter survival and growth rates.
The research project will be hosted at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Sandy Hook Bay.
Baykeeper recently received a permit from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to utilize 10.7 acres of Navy property for to expand oyster restoration and research."
Baykeeper and the Rutgers Center for Urban Environmental Sustainability will construct a new experimental oyster reef using three types of oyster support structures, 1) Reefblk, 2) Reef Ball, and 3) a cargo pallet.
The structure with the highest survival rate will then house oysters in order to study long term survival, reproduction, reef biodiversity, and water quality.
Assuming that survival is high, in coming years, Baykeeper will continue adding to the restoration area in one-to-two acre increments. Monitoring will continue for a minimum of five years.
"We thank the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for recognizing the value of our oyster work and funding this important research," said Baykeeper Debbie Mans. "Between the Navy graciously hosting our scientists, receiving the permit from NJ DEP, and receiving this infusion of funding, this project has tremendous momentum," Mans added.
In 2010, in August 2010, NJ DEP banned research, restoration, and education projects using oysters in waters classified as "Restricted" or "Prohibited" for shellfish harvesting.
This essentially deems the vast majority of the waters from northern New Jersey to Monmouth County off-limits for oyster restoration. As a result, NY/NJ Baykeeper approached the Navy about placing oyster nets at Naval Weapons Station Earle, which is under 24/7 security, and therefore eliminates any poaching risk and began oyster survival research at Earle in October, 2011. Baykeeper received over 3,000 signatures on a petition asking NJ DEP to lift the ban.
Oysters are vital to the ecological integrity of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary and Baykeeper has been working to restore oyster beds in NY and NJ waters since 1999. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Hudson-Raritan Estuary Comprehensive Restoration Plan (CRP) calls for oyster restoration in the Hudson-Raritan Estuary, primarily in the Raritan Bay. The oyster nets at Naval Weapons Station Earle furthered Baykeeper and Rutgers' scientific work to test the viability of that restoration plan. For more information visit: www.nynjbaykeeper.org

What? Over $150,000 to study oysters? There are many people along the Jersey shore that are still homless and hurting that could use just a fraction of that. Maybe the Baykeeper will find it in his heart to decline the money this year and contribute it to Sandy relief.
Debbie Mans

Hi John and re-tired,
The funding is neither from taxpayers nor from the Navy. The Navy is the host for the project but no Navy funding is received. We received the competitive funding from a national foundation and the dollars cannot be reallocated at our discretion. Please visit our web site if you have questions about the value of oyster research and we are always available to answer questions.

I agree also the navy is one of the prime polluters ,just more waste !

Maybe the baykeeper could APPLY to have the funds reallocated? Would be a nice gesture from the "national foundation."
James D'Monquay

Whoa! I do hope people go to your web-site and read that the "Baykeeper" actually has a political agenda that doesn't involve oysters. In fact from your "Advocacy and Legal Campaign" page it seems the "Baykeeper" is more interested in, among other things, denying citizens the abillity to own shore properties. I also see you "won" this money to continue a program that was rejected by the NJDEP over health concerns. It's also funny that the "Baykeeper" is raising baby Oysters at a restaurant. Again, rather than use this money for a project with dubious if any real value (or the "Baykeepers" "advocacy" or "legal" campaigns), apply to have the funds used for storm relief. It's the right thing to do.

Springfield, IL – Citing concerns that the construction of a new coal handling facility would have a negative effect on the air quality of Metropolis and the business at the Harrah's Metropolis riverboat casino, State Senator Gary Forby (D-Benton) and Representative Brandon Phelps (D-Harrisburg) are supporting Metropolis Mayor Billy McDaniel's request that the Kentucky Corps of Engineers conduct an air quality study and hold a public hearing before granting a permit for the facility.
Forby and Phelps support Metropolis mayor's call for study, public hearing before KY coal port opensA report released by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) shows Illinois led the nation in wind turbine installations in 2011, installing a total of 404 turbines across the State. Illinois was behind only California in the amount of power generated by these new turbines. The Chicago Sun-Times highlighted the AWEA report with a focus on an Elgin based wind energy manufacturing company that is benefiting from the dramatic increase in wind energy use. In the last eleven years, Winergy Drive Systems Corporation has grown to employ more than 200 employees and is one of twenty-eight Illinois based companies that produce parts for the wind energy industry. New incentives will help conserve oil
The governor signed State Senator Dave Koehler's (D-Peoria) plan to encourage roofing and building companies to recycle asphalt shingles rather than dump them in landfills into law earlier today. Asphalt shingles are made from the same basic ingredients as paving asphalt--including oil--and can easily be reused to pave roads. This move could help a shingle-recycling facility in South Peoria. "By reusing the oil in asphalt shingles to pave our roads, we can reduce our reliance on foreign oil," Koehler said. House Bill 1326 allows recycling facilities to count each ton of asphalt they recycle as two tons towards their state-mandated recycling quota. This incentive doesn't cost the State anything, but it will encourage recycling facilities to work with building, roofing, and demolition companies to acquire more asphalt shingles. Days ago, Southwind RAS opened an asphalt recycling facility on the south side of Peoria. The facility now employs four people and provides a convenient recycling facility for Peoria-area roofers. It hopes to hire more employees soon. Senator Koehler's legislation should help create business for the company. "I'm glad that Governor Quinn signed this bill," Koehler said. "It will help us protect the environment by keeping shingles out of landfills, recycle a valuable resource, and help a local company." The legislation also sets a goal for the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to use as much recycled asphalt and other low-cost alternative materials for road construction and repair as possible. "If the State is establishing incentives for others to recycle, we should do so ourselves," Koehler explained. "We need to set a good example." The new law takes effect January 1, 2012. SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Dave Koehler's (D-Peoria) plan to encourage roofing and building companies to recycle asphalt shingles rather than dump them in landfills is on its way to the governor's desk. Asphalt shingles are made from the same basic ingredients as paving asphalt--including oil--and can easily be reused to pave roads. This move could help a planned shingle-recycling facility in South Peoria. Springfield, IL—State Senator Dan Kotowski (D-Park Ridge) engaged with representatives from the Wheeling Park District on Tuesday for Parks Day and students from Dirksen Elementary on Thursday for Tech Day as the groups visited the capitol. Three students from a digital health fitness class at Dirksen (Jessica Wasko, Wiktovia Kosinska and Osvaldo Reyes) explained their most recent projects to Senator Kotowski during Tech Day. "It is great to see our students focused on technology at such a young age," Kotowski said. "We know the jobs of the tomorrow are in this field and all of the students I talked showed a lot of promise, and I am sure they will have a bright future." In addition, Kotowski spoke with Matt Wehby, director of park and recreation services for the Wheeling Park District. "We all know that our local parks play a very important role in our communities," Senator Kotowski said. "It was great to talk with the Wheeling Park District staff and get updated on what they are continuing to provide in Wheeling and surrounding areas." Parks Day and Tech Day are annual events at which hundreds of Illinoisans visit Springfield to display what they are contributing to their communities and schools. SPRINGFIELD, IL –A measure passed by State Senator Michael Frerichs (D – Champaign) would put the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in charge of overseeing hydraulic fracturing. If signed into law, Senate Bill 664 would move Illinois one step closer to safely implementing the practice known as "fracking". Springfield, IL— State Senator Heather Steans (D-Chicago), along with State Senator Emil Jones, III (D-Chicago), passed historic dry-cleaning safety legislation out of the Senate today that will protect Illinois residents' health as well as the environment. Senate Bill 1617 phases out the use of perchloroethylene ("perc"), a chemical used by dry-cleaners to clean fabric. Springfield, IL — Governor Pat Quinn vetoed Senate Bill 3388 on March 14, which would have created the Leucadia Clean Coal Energy Facility in southeast Chicago on the Calumet River. QUINCY, Ill. - Ducks Unlimited has recognized State Senator John Sullivan for his leadership and support in passing a bill to establish a specialty DU license plate this past legislative session.
Read more... SPRINGFIELD, IL— State Sen. Michael Noland's (D-Elgin) goal of placing Illinois at the forefront of renewable energy is moving ahead at full speed, now that Governor Quinn signed two new legislative initiatives into law today. Both Noland bills are designed to promote the use of solar energy in Illinois. |

Retired school teacher Greg McIntire is this years Grand Marshal |
"I think it's quite an honor in the same year I am retiring as a teacher, and having been a longtime resident, to be chosen as the grand marshal for the Chester Fourth of July Parade," said Greg McIntire.
He said the parade has always been a special event for his family, not just as parade watchers but also as active participants.
As a couple, he and wife, Cheri, used to square dance down Main Street on the Fourth of July.
As parents they were involved with the Girl Scouts of America, and their daughters, Chelsea and Stephanie, marched in the parade. One year, the family and the Scouts put together a tucked napkin float representing the American flag.
McIntire, an institution within the Plumas Unified School District (PUSD), retired June 15 after teaching for 35 years. Also an institution within the local community, he worked 32 of those years at Chester Elementary School where he taught everything from third to sixth grade.
Affectionately called "Mr. Mac" by parents and students alike, in his 18-year role as the sixth-grade teacher he devoted his time to preparing his students academically and emotionally to take the next big step in their lives, graduating and moving on to Chester Junior-Senior High School (CHS).
McIntire began his career with PUSD as the new teacher at the James Lee School, formerly known as Injun Jim, a two-room schoolhouse that provided K-6 education in the Feather River Canyon.
He had two back-to-back academic years out of the classroom. During 1995-96 and 1996-97 he was assigned to work as the principal for CES one year and CHS the other.
As to his residency status, he has only lived out of Chester for six years of his entire life.
McIntire was born in the community of Westwood because Chester didn't have a hospital at that time. He went on to graduate from both CES and then CHS in 1970 before attending Feather River College in Quincy. From there he next attended Chico State where he achieved his bachelor's degree and his master's in administration.
He has filled the last 16 years of his summer working for the maintenance division at Lake Almanor West, something he will continue to do part-time into the future.
In the winter, he plans to hunt, fish and continue working with CES sixth-grade classes with their annual block of education regarding the Almanor Basin watershed and the Plumas to the Pacific trip.
He said he also would work in the classrooms, as needed, as a substitute teacher.
About the other facets of his future he said, "As this is my first year, and not knowing what's going to happen, it's very exciting to look ahead and see what I can and can't do.
"I know I will hunt and fish but Cheri and I may travel out of state and even out of the country," McIntire added.
He said he has family in Finland and friends that travel to Mexico annually.
A large block of his time will also go to his six grandchildren: Jeremiah, Drew, Morgan, Tanner, Dylan and Desiree.
