Tulsa Lawn Care Company Converting to Propane-Powered Equipment
PR Log
- Jan 18, 2012 - Locally-owned
Tulsa lawn care
has recently converted most of its spray engines to run on clean-burning propane. Owner Brad Johnson states, "We made the decision this summer to convert our small engines which power our spraying operations to run on propane rather than gasoline. It's an investment, but we feel it will pay off in the long run with reduced fuel expenses, less maintenance costs and down time, and with incentives that are available." "There is a lot of stuff out there that people and companies flaunt as being 'green', but this is very real," states Johnson. "It's a small deal in the larger scope of things, but we feel this is a real benefit with the cleaner air and less dependence upon foreign oil."
Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 and 2005. Propane is produced domestically, with almost 90% of it coming from the United States. It's manufactured from natural gas, which is abundant domestically, along with crude oil. Propane exhaust emits 60% to 70% less smog-producing hydrocarbons than gasoline, which is one of the main benefits of using it. And it costs about 40% less than gasoline, along with cleaner burning engines, leading to less maintenance costs.
Tulsa lawn service
company's fleet of 27 working trucks spray weed-control products mainly in the spring and fall. The majority of the trucks have been converted as of this spring. Other equipment, such as aerators and ride-on spray units with gasoline engines will be converted later this year. "Our goal is to be almost 100% propane powered by this summer," said Johnson. "We will also research purchasing a propane-powered truck later this year and test it."
LawnAmerica is the first
Tulsa lawn care
company of its type to convert its spray trucks to propane. It is also the first in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the first nationwide. They purchase the propane from Synergy Gas in Tulsa, who delivers the tanks filled with propane weekly to replace the empty tanks. LawnAmerica does not know how long it may take for their investment to pay for itself through lower fuel and maintenance costs, but owner Brad Johnson feels it is the right thing to do. "I'm confident that in the long run this will save us money, but time will tell. I do know that we are doing our part, although it's a small one, towards decreasing our dependence upon foreign oil and in helping to keep our air clean. That's important to us also."
Brad Johnson is owner of LawnAmerica, serving almost 10,000 customers in Tulsa and NE Oklahoma with their lawncare needs. For more information, contact Brad at 918-249-5296, or e-mail

CATEGORIES MoviesTalk about good timing: Peter Facinelli (the head of the Cullen vampire clan in the 'Twilight' series) had already acquired the rights to a book about Whitey Bulger when the mob boss was nabbed on June 23 after more than 15 years on the run.
Now, with interest piqued in the tale of the Boston mobster, Facinelli is going ahead with his adaptation of 'Street Soldier: My Life As an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Boston Irish Mob,' by Edward MacKenzie and Phyllis Karas.
The film will tell the story from the vantage point of mob enforcer "Eddie Mac," who did his boss's dirty work on the mean streets of Boston.
Bulger's story was already told, after a fashion, in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning 'The Departed,' which was said to be been inspired by Bulger's villainous exploits.
"With the extraordinary capture of Whitey Bulger, there is no better time to tell this amazing story of the Boston Irish Mob from the gripping perspective of Eddie Mac," said Brookstreet president/CEO Trevor Matthews, who'll co-produce with Facinelli.
Besides his work as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the 'Twilight' films, Facinelli has had recurring parts on 'Damages' and 'Nurse Jackie.

To the editor:
It is with my great surprise that the Times editorialized about Rockport's Site Plan Review process ("Rockport house plans must go forward after board's delays,") Wednesday, Aug. 7) with so little apparent fact-finding about the process.
The Planning Board did not delay rendering a decision on the Roma property. If applicants present the required documents in the timeframe requested at the beginning of the review, things go rather smoothly. Issues arise, however, when agreed-upon changes are made and required followup documentation lags.
A reading of our determination shows that we do have a zoning issue dealing with the height of the proposed structure. The building inspector has been asked to address this issue.
When the process and guidance given by the Planning Board is followed, proceedings can go forward very smoothly. You should note that, at the same time the Roma III property hearings were taking place, we held hearings on the 114 Main St. Pharmacy and approved this project in three meetings. And this project required coordination with the Zoning Board Of Appeals.
I would be happy to further discuss some of your views just as soon as the Roma home is under construction.
Chairman. Rockport Planning Board

Excellent pair of earrings.
The earrings were definitely alot bigger than I thought. They looked perfect on my girlfriend, especially when she's outdoors. That's when the diamond and platinum really shine.
Great set of earings! Great gift!
Superb quality for the money. Excellent web site made purchase easy and painless. 2 purchases from Blue Nile so far - won't be the last!
They were bigger than I expected. At first I thought this was a negative thing, as we wanted them to be tiny, but they are so beautiful that they still look quite tasteful. We are both very pleased with them.
I bought these earrings for my wife for Christmas and she loves them. She had always thought that 1/4ct. tw was too small but was very surprised at how they looked in person. These were the perfect compliment to her wedding set (also a Blue Nile purchase in Sept. '04).
The price is exceptional and the quality is very good. I decided to upgrade my existing round diamond studs set in 14k white gold to these and I absolutely love them.
This is the 2nd purchase I've made from Blue Nile. I surprised my wife with these beautiful earrings as I did with her engagement ring. She adores them so much, she rarely takes them out!
great great !!!
great deal other stores said they were worth double!!! Wife loves them never takes them off
Perfect Match - Will buy from BN again...
Your website was very clear in it's description, and the whole ordering/shipping process went perfectly. We love them! Thanks.
They were like starlight.
My girlfriend loved the earrings. Their beauty were only outdone by the beauty of whom wore them. I was very impressed with the clarity and color of the diamonds! Compared to mall stores, the jewelry might cost a little more, but the quality is superb!
Buy these!!
Nice color and clarity. Exceptional quality and at a unbeatable price. I was going to purchase a lower quality pair locally for the same price, but I am glad that I found Blue Nile. A+ Quality!!
Loved them!
She loved the earrings. Great quality. Only drawback (as I've been told) is that the posts are a bit long and tend to hurt if you fall asleep with them on.
The diamond earings were of exceptional value. Everyone always brags about them.

Let there be no mistake about it: It is the position of the regime in Washington—and, therefore, the position of every other government this regime can drag after it—most recently, by "spinning a web" for the Government of India—that Tehran must surrender its "inalienable right" as a Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons "to develop, research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes" (Art. IV.1), and that any resistance to surrendering its right should be treated as a violation of its obligations under the NPT, sanctionable through UN Security Council mechanisms or, ultimately, by the aggression of the American state and its allies.
To quote the American Ambassador to the United Nations, a public statement that he made in New York on Monday ("No uranium enrichment &undefined;permissible&undefined; for Iran — US envoy," Agence France Presse, March 6):
[I]t&undefined;s been a core element of our view and the view of the EU-3 (Britain, France and Germany) and certainly of the Russian Federation that no enrichment in Iran is permissible. The reason for that is that even a small so-called research enrichment program could give Iran the possibility of mastering the technical deficiencies it&undefined;s currently encountering in its program. Once Iran has the scientific and technological capability to do even laboratory size enrichment, that knowledge could be replicated in industrial-size enrichment activities elsewhere, that&undefined;s why we&undefined;ve felt very strongly that no enrichment inside Iran should be permitted, and that remains our position.
Clearly, the American position is (to repeat John R. Bolton&undefined;s exact words) that no enrichment in Iran is permissible. This, after all, is, and throughout has been, the core American demand. The rest is the merest truism. And is just as true of every other nuclear power&undefined;s peaceful uses of nuclear energy. As it is true of the Americans&undefined; scientific and technological capabilities. Including the Americans' peerless nuclear-weapons arsenal.
So let us be clear about what the Americans are demanding. For the American position vis-à-vis Iran amounts to a calculated violation of the NPT on every front: Iran is to surrender its "inalienable right" to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes or face sanctions and/or state violence; while for their part, the Americans (and the other nuclear-weapons states) simply are to remain free to reject their NPT obligations under Article VI (1970) "to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control." (About which, I suggest that everyone monitor the efforts shepherded by the National Nuclear Security Administration to so-called "upgrade" or "modernize" the American nuclear-weapons stockpile. Also see "U.S. Plans to Modernize Nuclear Arsenal," Walter Pincus, Washington Post, March 4.)
The American position ought to be rejected. And rejected flat out. In fact, it ought to be treated as nothing more than a form of belligerence, and the Americans forced to explain their belligerence before the UN Security Council. First, because it is the position of a predatory and recidivist belligerent that seeks, above all else, to maintain its nuclear-weapons. And second, because the American position seeks to overthrow the NPT. And to eliminate any hope of controlling nuclear-weapons in the contemporary world. Not to mention nuclear-weapons disarmament.
Except, of course, and in typically American fashion, that which can be achieved by the threat or use of force.
Or bribery. Another version of the same.
Belligerence is all. Clearly. At least where the Americans are concerned.

Postscript (March 7 -): Examples of American belligerence for which, in a world governed by the rule of law rather than the threat or use of force, the American political leadership would be hauled before some international forum, and, in the very least, made to explain itself.—By the way, if these are the kind of remarks that the Americans are willing to make in public, imagine what kind of messages they must convey to their subordinates and inferiors while addressing them behind closed-doors!
No doubt the primary threat that Israel and the United States face from the Iran regime is its clear and unrelenting drive to acquire nuclear weapons and the means to deliver those weapons. For years the international community has been hearing of the mounting and voluminous evidence—confirmed by IAEA inspectors-of Iran's deception and denial in violation of its treaty obligations with the IAEA and international community. Through intense diplomatic work, the IAEA Board of Governors has finally reported Iran's failure to allay concerns about the nature of its nuclear program to the United Nations Security Council, a step it would have been fully justified in taking several years ago, but that was postponed in the hope that Iran would choose cooperation over confrontation. Thus far, this hope has been in vain.
I find it deeply ironic that the United States is so often accused of aggressive unilateralism when we have been the ones pursuing multilateral efforts through the IAEA, including in conjunction with the EU3 and the Russians, and now the United Nations. Following the conclusion of the IAEA Board of Governors meeting that will begin tomorrow in Vienna, Director General ElBaradei will convey to the Security Council his latest report on Iran&undefined;s nuclear activities. The longer we wait to confront the threat Iran poses, the harder and more intractable it will become to solve.
This is not to say that we do not support the ongoing diplomatic efforts by the British, French, and Germans — or EU-3 as we call them — and the Russians, but we must not ignore Tehran's refusal to address the concerns of the international community. For over two years, the EU-3 has engaged in active diplomacy with Tehran and presented one reasonable proposal after another. The mullahs in Iran accepted these agreements reached in Paris and then unilaterally broke the agreement by resuming uranium conversion work last fall. In the case of the ongoing negotiations with the Russians, we are observing double-speak on the part of the Iranian regime. With one voice, they are saying that they welcome the discussions with the Russian Federation and view it as a possible solution to the impasse. With another voice, though, they are flatly refusing to consider the core condition that Russia, the EU-3 and we would require — namely that Iran give up access to the technology and materials that would enable them to have indigenous capability — a nuclear fuel cycle — to develop nuclear weapons.
The government of Tehran's trumpeting of its right to a civil peaceful nuclear program is a canard. The Russian proposal enables the Iranians to reap the benefits of civil nuclear power while addressing concerns that they are really pursuing nuclear weapons. The EU-3 proposal even opened the possibility of technical cooperation on nuclear power. As the President has said, we do not oppose Iran enjoying the benefits of peaceful, safeguarded nuclear energy. It is clear, however, that Iran's pursuit of the nuclear fuel cycle is neither peaceful nor for nuclear energy. Frankly, Iran&undefined;s track record justifies this fear. As the resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors notes, there have been "many failures and breaches of its obligations to comply with its NPT Safeguards Agreement". Put differently, with rights come responsibilities — responsibilities that Iran has not come close to meeting.
It is unclear exactly how events will play out once the Security Council takes up the agenda item of Iran. As a number of officials, myself included, have noted earlier, there are a range of options available. Letting it languish, however, is not one of them. Failure by the Security Council to act on this matter would be a highly detrimental abrogation of the duties it is charged with under the UN Charter. Forgive my moment of facetiousness when dealing with a matter literally of life and death, but if the pursuit of nuclear weapons by a state with a leader who calls for another to be "wiped off the map" is not considered a threat to international peace and security, I daresay one must ask — what is? The Security Council should take due note that failure to act in a timely manner and with a seriousness of purpose will do lasting damage to the credibility of the Council.
The Security Council will likely take a graduated approach to dealing with this issue, but it is critical that we use the Council to help mobilize international public opinion. Rest assured, though, we are not relying on the Security Council as the only tool in our toolbox to address this problem. In addition to our diplomatic efforts at the IAEA, the UN Security Council, and bilaterally, we are beefing up our defensive measures to cope with the Iranian nuclear threat. As Secretary Rice has stated, "In conjunction with our multilateral diplomacy, the United States will develop sensible measures, security measures, including looking further at our Proliferation Security Initiative and those who cooperate with us to try and deny to regimes like Iran, North Korea and others the materials for covert programs that threaten the international system."
This combined pressure, we hope, will persuade the Iranian regime to make the strategic decision to forego their pursuit of nuclear weapons. Unlike North Korea, the Iranian people have many ties to the world, whether economic, social, or cultural. We must use those ties to help to raise the pressure on the Iranian regime. The United States already imposes numerous bilateral sanctions on Iran, and while it is too soon to begin sanctions by the Security Council, it is noteworthy that many other governments around the world have begun to include the word "sanctions" in their discourse when discussing Iran. The Iran regime must be made aware that if it continues down the path of international isolation, there will be tangible and painful consequences.
Alternatively, if Iran follows the course of Libya and makes the strategic decision that the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, the sponsorship of terror and the oppression of its people makes it less, not more secure, then relations with the outside world can improve dramatically. Thus, the question of how far the Security Council will go, and whether it eventually will have to consider the imposition of sanctions, or the extent to which we need to develop defensive measures against Iran, is really a question for Mr. Ahmadi-nejad and the Iranian regime to answer.
—- "Statement by Ambassador John R. Bolton to the AIPAC Policy Conference," U.S. Mission to the United Nations, March 5, 2006
America supports, as well, the democratic aspirations of the people of Iran. (Applause.) Iranians have endured a generation of repression at the hands of a fanatical regime. That regime is one of the world&undefined;s primary state sponsors of terror. The current President has spoken openly of wiping Israel off the map, and of a world without America. He&undefined;s made despicable statements doubting the crimes of the Nazis, aligning himself with the rest of the fantasy-world Holocaust deniers.
The regime in Tehran also continues to defy the world with its nuclear ambitions. Of course, this matter may soon go before the U.N. Security Council. The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences. (Applause.) For our part, the United States is keeping all options on the table in addressing the irresponsible conduct of the regime. (Applause.) And we join other nations in sending that regime a clear message: We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. (Applause.)
The people of Iran can be absolutely certain that we respect them, their country, and their long history as a great civilization — and we stand with them. Iranians desire and deserve to be free from tyranny and oppression in their own homeland. Freedom in the Middle East requires freedom for the Iranian people — and America looks forward to the day when our Nation can be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran. (Applause.)
—- "Vice President&undefined;s Remarks to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee 2006 Policy Conference," Office of the Vice President, March 7, 2006

Here are the best off road neck braces available.

jeromy in NE
I bought 2 of these. One for my son & another for myself. They were an excellent investment for me because I seem to always find interesting ways to be thrown off of the bike. I have a number of deep gouges on my helmet from bashing my head into things on these get offs & I believe that using this deivse has saved me injury more than once. It is heavier than some other items of similar design but it is very durable. It fits underneath our EVS roost deflectors in both front & back with minimal effort & stays in place.Read All Reviews
Trent in Nebraska
This brace is very light and comfortable. Have worn it every time I rode for the past couple of years. It protected my neck in every crash. On my last fall, which was a low speed tipover, it did protect my neck but I ended up breaking my collarbone. Feel that with this brace resting on the bone added to the fact that it broke. The extra couple hundred bucks for a brace that doesn't rest on the collarbone doesn't even come close to the cost of surgery to plate my bone.Read All Reviews

love this brace, easy to assemble and comes with strap which is easily hidden my only negative insight is the price.Read All Reviews
Jon in Connecticut
I already had high expectations for this brace and wence I got it they exceeded it emediatly! It's super light but also durable, its got a supper low profile and its comfertable when you ride, you barly realize its there, you can adjust it perfictly to you and it folds away for storage. The only complaint I have is the padding on the brace is a little hard, but it's not noticeable when it's on your neck and when your riding. In the end 5 stars all day! Not to mention looks super slick.Read All Reviews

The hostel is located in the Seomyeom, with easy access to restaurants and shopping area. However it's a bit of walking distance from the train station exits. Noise from the highway at the back can be annonying at times. The room we stayed was rather dusty - a serious consideration for those with medical condition. A nice place to stay if you want to be in the middle Seomyeom and enjoy night life.

Zen is located in a resident building, which make Zen more like a home rather than a hostel. I like this kind feeling. The room is clean, simple and neat, equipped with WIFI. The landscape from the balcony is very good. I pretty enjoy the memont when I laid on the pad and look the night landscape from the balcony.

You know the value of providing health insurance to your employees but it can be a real challenge for small businesses. On average, small businesses pay about 18% more than large firms for the same health insurance policy because small businesses lack the purchasing power that larger employers have. The Affordable Care Act provides tax credits, and soon, the ability to shop for insurance in Exchanges that may help close the gap.
Top Things to Know for Small Businesses
- For tax years 2010 through 2013, the maximum credit is 35 percent for small business employers and 25 percent for small tax-exempt employers such as charities.
- If you have up to 25 employees, pay average annual wages below $50,000 per employee, and provide health insurance, you may qualify for a small business tax credit of up to 35% (up to 25% for non-profits) to offset the cost of your insurance.
- Employer-based plans that provide health insurance to retirees ages 55-64 can now get financial help through the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program. This program is designed to lower the cost of premiums for all employees and reduce employer health costs.
- Starting in 2014, the maximum small business tax credit increases to 50% for qualifying businesses, (35% for non-profits).
- In 2014, small businesses with generally fewer than 100 employees can shop in an Affordable Insurance Exchange, which are designed to make buying health coverage easier and more affordable.
- Exchanges will offer a plans that meet certain benefits and cost standards and can help you look for and compare private health plans, get answers to questions about your health coverage options, determine tax credit or health program eligibility, and will allow you to enroll in a health plan that meets your needs.
- Employers with fewer than 50 employees are exempt from new employer responsibility policies.

Michael Weiner is executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. You've heard his name. Probably seen a photo or two of him if you followed coverage of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement reached in late November. But you don't know much about him. You should.
Weiner has spent his entire professional career with the MLBPA. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1986, clerked for a federal judge for two years and then went to work for the union as a staff lawyer. In just six years, he worked his way up to become general counsel. He took over as executive director in late 2009, when Donald Fehr retired. (Fehr has since become the executive director of the National Hockey League Players Association.)
You know about Fehr. And you know about Marvin Miller.
Miller joined the MLBPA after a stint with the United Steelworkers Union, and turned the MLBPA into a professional, powerhouse union. In 1968, Miller negotiated the first collective-bargaining agreement with baseball's owners. Two years later, he got the owners to agree to an arbitration process to resolve grievances, laying the groundwork for the modern arbitration process for resolving salary disputes. Miller also spearheaded the players' efforts to gain free agency, which began in 1975. Miller stepped down in 1983 after successfully navigating the players through the 1981 strike.
Fehr was Miller's hand-picked successor. He joined the MLBPA as general counsel in 1977 and ascended to the top position upon Miller's retirement. The tough, gruff negotiator successfully led the players through the 1994 strike and several lawsuits accusing the owners of collusion. During Fehr's tenure, the average player salary rose from $269,000 per season to $3.24 million. The players and their union flourished under Fehr's hard-nosed leadership.
Weiner worked closely with Fehr for many years but brings a different style to the executive director's suite. Where Fehr was known as dogmatic, confrontational and brusque, Weiner is seen as more pragmatic and down-to-earth. But even with his more laid-back approach, Weiner is no less a strong advocate for the players than was Fehr. Weiner took the lead in hammering out the most contentious terms in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. He succeeded, in part, due to his good working relationship with Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president of labor relations, and not in spite of it.
With the CBA in place for the next five years, Weiner has turned his attention to other hot-button issues. He's already negotiating the 2013 regular-season schedule with the Commissioner's office. With the Astros moving to the American League next season, putting fifteen teams in each league, any hope of reducing the frequency of interleague games is gone. But the players object to interleague games down the stretch, in September, with playoff races coming down to the wire. In March, Weiner talked about scheduling with Sean McAdam of Comcast Sportsnet New England.
Weiner said the two sides are working on a format to ensure that interleague play is limited to a maximum of two series per team in the final month to avoid such inequities.
"That's very important to us,'' said Weiner. "We want to have as little interleague play as possible, knowing that there has to be some. But also, ideally, we'd like to have it so that, in the last month of the season, no team plays more than one away interleague series.
"Ideally no team would play more than one interleague series, period (in September). But when you're playing away, you're playing under rules that are not your normal rules. We're trying to get to a place where no team would play more than three games in September (under) the opposite league's rules.''
Weiner made headlines last Wednesday, when he gave a lunch-time speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. A good portion of his comments was directed to efforts underway, nationwide, to strip workers of collective-bargaining rights. He called those efforts "fundamentally unfair" and "counterproductive." Dave Shenin of the Washington Post reported that Weiner debated whether to address his comments beyond baseball.
"Prudence tells a guy who has worked entire professional career in baseball to limit his remarks to baseball. On my other shoulder, opportunity tells me that I should at least try to relate baseball's bargaining success to the broader world. This is the National Press Club, after all. It's not the 'Mike and Mike' show."
Conjuring his predecessors Miller and Fehr, Weiner continued:
"But why is it not acceptable for workers to exercise the only leverage they possess – to act collectively? If you take bargaining rights away from Wisconsin schoolteachers or
Indianafactory workers, it leaves one side in a contest with no ability to compete ... The economic health of our country will not be revitalized by depriving workers of their voice."
Weiner then took questions from the audience and his answers were as interesting as his prepared speech. He was asked about whether the Hall of Fame should admit players who've been linked to performance-enhancing drugs. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"It's a museum," Weiner said. "If you want to have some notation on their plaque that indicates that they were either judged to have used performance enhancing substances or accused of having done that, so be it."
Weiner said he was speaking his personal opinion and not an official position of the union.
"There will be people in the Hall of Fame who have been judged by several arbitrators to have engaged in a massive conspiracy called collusion to defraud the fans of free competition," Weiner said. Those people belong in the Hall of Fame as well. So, from my perspective, the Hall of Fame is for the best baseball players and most influential executives that have been involved, and they should all be in."
On the subject of the designated hitter:
"Neither the owners nor the players came to the bargaining table this time looking to change the rules regarding the designated hitter," he said. "I don't think anyone would design an industry where one league has one set of rules and the other has another, but I think that compromise, if you will, is here to stay for a long time."
Weiner was asked if players should have any say in who the next commissioner will be. He demurred, saying that is the owners' decision. He then quipped that it will be "20, 30, 40 years from now" before current commissioner Bud Selig retires.
Witty, but realistic. Fierce, but contemplative. High-powered, but unpretentious. Weiner will need all those traits as he navigates the players through a thicket of issues left open under the new CBA, including improving player-umpire relations, implementing additional video review during games, and testing for human growth hormones.

Derrick Washington, Missouri's starting running back and their leading rusher for the past two years, has formally been charged with sexual assault after his suspension last week from all team activities. Boone County prosecutors filed one charge of deviate sexual assault, a felony charge, against Washington on Monday. Washington remains suspended from all team activities until he is cleared of all charges per university policy.
The charge stems from allegations filed by a former tutor that Washington assaulted her on June 19th of this year. A protective order was filed on the June 22, but both parties missed a court date the following month and caused the charges to be dismissed. The Prosecutor's Office picked up the case, however, and pursued the charges against the senior running back.
Now that we've tiptoed around the legalities of the case: what is clear for Washington is that this is very bad news for Mizzou's offense, a pass-first attack that had used Washington as a powerful counterbalance against defenses looking to stop the Tigers' aerial game. Replacing him will not be easy, and given how long these cases take to resolve his absence could be a long one indeed.

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
Look for the sequel, CROSSED, and the epic series finale, REACHED!

You don't have to search the skies over West Deptford today to check for Santa Claus' arrival—just fire up your computer or smartphone.
Normally, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) keeps the United States and Canada safe from dangers in the sky or space. But tonight, NORAD's focus shifts to tracking the big man in red, Santa Claus.
Visit NORAD's Santa Tracker today to follow Santa as he delivers gifts to good girls and boys. Along the way, you can learn a little more about geography and the route Santa takes to get the Christmas Eve deliveries done on time. There's even a Windows 8 app to track Santa. Or you can call or email NORAD for the latest updates.
Out and about today? Fire up your smartphone to keep an eye on Santa' progress. NORAD has apps for iPhones, Androids and Windows phones.
If all of that isn't enough, Google is in the Santa-tracking game too, with its own Santa Tracker.

Kris Draper will apparently retire from the NHL on Tuesday, after a photo gallery caption on the Detroit Red Wings official website accidentally leaked the news.
As captured by Kukla's Korner and spotted by several other writers on Monday afternoon, the Red Wings published a photo gallery celebrating Draper's career with the following image:
The Wings have since taken down the photo, perhaps just another sign that Draper will indeed be retiring on Tuesday. He made his NHL debut with the Winnipeg Jets in the 1990-91 season and it took him several years and a trade to the Wings to actually break into the league.
With the Red Wings organization, Draper became a mainstay after spending most of the 1993-94 season with the AHL's Adirondack Red Wings. Since, he hasn't left Detroit, appearing in over 1,100 games with the Wings across 17 seasons.
For more on Draper and the Red Wings, check in with SB Nation's Winging It In Motown.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Experience Alaska's premier attractions, glaciers and wildlife by land and sea during this visit to Mendenhall Glacier, and a whale-watching tour on Auke Bay.
Depart the pier for the narrated drive to the Mendenhall Glacier. This monumental river of glistening ice towers is 1 1/2 miles in height, hundreds of feet thick and the only glacier accessible by road in Southeast Alaska. Upon arrival, you will visit the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. Here, you will find exhibits, interactive videos, and panoramic views and photo opportunities of the glacier. U.S. Forest Service staff members will be on-hand to familiarize you with this unforgettable attraction. Time permitting, you can stroll the glacier-view path or take a short walk to view salmon in a nearby stream.
Next, you will proceed for a scenic drive through the Mendenhall Valley, past Auke Lake and on to Auke Bay. Upon arrival, you will embark a waterjet-powered catamaran that has been specially-designed for wildlife viewing, then set out to explore Stephen's Passage. You will relax in the warm, comfortable and spacious main cabin as you pass by pristine marine wilderness surrounded by snow-capped peaks and glaciers. This area is world-renowned as a favored summer feeding ground for humpback whales, orcas, sea lions, porpoise, seals, bald eagles, and more.
Upon sighting the whales, your captain will gently maneuver the vessel for optimal viewing and photographic opportunities. Since the whales are often close enough to hear them breathe, be sure to bring a warm jacket to wear on the topside observation deck. If conditions allow, an underwater hydrophone will be deployed for an opportunity to experience their solemn song. Throughout the cruise, your onboard naturalist will explain the behavior and habitat of the humpback whale. Your crew will also point out wildlife, and provide assistance throughout the tour. Binoculars, souvenir route maps, complimentary snacks and beverages will be provided.
Following your tour, you will return to Auke Bay, then reboard your coach for the return drive to the pier.
Please note: The operators of this excursion guarantee that you will be able to view at least one whale, or receive $100 cash ($50 refund per child) as you disembark the vessel (do not anticipate a refund, as whales have been sighted on every tour conducted in the past 11 years). Guests are advised to wear a warm, rainproof jacket with a hat and gloves, and bring a camera from the ship.

Have a question? We've got the answer!
Are Ceilume Culinary Ceiling Tiles FDA approved for use in food preparation areas?
Though the FDA does not approve specific products for ceiling use, they do supply an outline of requirements that must be met by any ceiling tile installed in areas where food is prepared. Ceilume Culinary Ceiling Tiles are fully compliant with FDA requirements. Because each installation needs to be approved by a health inspector, we suggest ordering samples of our commercial kitchen ceiling tiles to show your inspector before placing a full order.
What kind of fire rating do Ceilume Culinary Tiles have and what do I need?
Ceilume Culinary Ceiling Tiles are Class A fire-rated, which meets the basic requirement for all kitchens, food preparation areas, bars, and restaurants. However, some installations may require ceiling tiles with other fire and safety ratings, depending on the individual characteristics of each. Before ordering ceiling tiles, it is always best to check with your local Fire Marshal's office or Safety Inspector to find out exactly what ratings are required for your specific installation.
How do I clean my Ceilume Culinary Ceiling Tiles?
Cleaning our tiles is easy! For small spots and stains, simply wipe the tiles down with a damp rag, using light household cleaners if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and organic solvents, as they may affect the surface appearance of your ceiling tiles. To make regular, rigorous cleaning easier, or if you intend to use a spray-washer, using Uplift Prevention Clips is a good idea.
Do I need Uplift Prevention Clips for my culinary tiles?
It depends on how often and how vigorously you intend to clean your ceiling. Ceilume Culinary Tiles can be cleaned lightly in the grid, or removed for more rigorous cleaning without use of Uplift Prevention Clips. However, using Uplift Prevention Clips will allow you to scrub or spray your tiles without removing them from the ceiling grid, which will make the job go faster.
Can I cut Ceilume Culinary Tiles for use at the edge of my ceiling grid?
Ceilume Culinary Tiles are made from easy-to-cut, smooth vinyl. Our Mirage and Coupé styles, with their subtle, three-dimensional designs, are best cut to 4" or less or 20" or more. Our Serenity tile, which is completely smooth and flat, works great as a border tile if cut down to any width of 12" or less. If you're not sure which kitchen ceiling tile is best suited for your installation, contact us for more information.

Students from an Upstate high school were on a national stage Friday as they competed to take home a major marching band title.
The Boiling Springs Marching Band said they made it to the semifinals of the Bands of America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis, the farthest they've ever made it in the competition.
Parents and friends spent hours Sunday decking out the school and the town, for the students to get a big surprise on their way home.
"We just really want to bring them home in as big (a) flashy way as we can because they deserve every minute of it right now," said Gary Rohoden, associate director of the band.
The students arrived home Sunday night with a full police escort and a crowd of about a hundred with banners and signs. Some local businesses also congratulated the students on their marquees.
The competition season is now complete for the band, but they can still be seen performing in the Spartanburg holiday parades.

Police conducted frequent checks on the Jodrey State Fish Pier on Thursday evening, after receiving reports of minor thefts of small items such as knives and lobsters taken from holding traps.
Officers were also looking out for trespassers fishing off the docks.
An 81-year-old man reported as conscious yet unresponsive at the Azorean Restaurant on Washington Street on Thursday about 5:30 p.m. was transported to Addison Gilbert Hospital by the Fire Rescue squad.
Emergency personnel removed three people who had consumed too much alcohol from Fiesta Thursday night, transporting two to Addison Gilbert Hospital.
A 19-year-old man who was "incapacitated" near the altar in St. Peter's Square was transported to the hospital about 10 p.m.
Police later transported an "intoxicated" adult man to his Fort Square home.
At about 1:27 a.m. officers transported a 40-year-old woman to the hospital because of her "high level of intoxication."
An "intoxicated" man, confused about his surroundings, was sent home by police after knocking repeatedly on a door that he thought was his friend's home early Friday morning.
The residents of the Western Avenue home where the 23-year-old man was knocking reported the incident to police, thinking the man was trying to enter their home about 1:30 a.m.
Police spoke to the man, who said his friends would not let him inside, and explained to the man that he was at the wrong address. Officers checked the man for warrants, and finding none, sent him home in a taxi.
A Somerville man reported a camera worth almost $4,000 was taken from his camera bag while he was filming the NESN television show "Dirty Water" at the Dog Bar on Thursday about 4:40 p.m.
The man told police the camera had been taken from a zippered bag, which the crew left inside the Main Street bar while bringing other equipment out to their vehicle. They realized the camera had been removed from the bag after returning home.
The television crew left a phone message at the Dog Bar to ask if the bar has surveillance cameras and left a message with detectives.

My View
Bruce Tobey
---- — Together with other members of the Gloucester City Council, I recently received from the West Parish School Building Committee an invitation to attend an April 1 visit to a new elementary school in Dedham.
Designed by the firm which is working with the committee and is apparently guiding it through its review process, some see the new Dedham school as the model we should adopt.
Due to the obligations of my day job, I had to decline this invitation. I sent a note to the committee chair, sharing my gratitude for his team's efforts and hard work.
But I also sent along some of many questions I have regarding this potential project -- in my opinion, they raise serious concerns which our entire community needs to consider. And unless they are resolved, this project should be a non-starter, because setting the initial focus on deciding what "new model" school we want to buy is the wrong focus.
What are my concerns? They include:
1. What, if any, future need will the school system have for Fuller School, which now lies in limbo, decaying further by the day due to willful neglect?
2. What is the truth of the matter regarding the state's reimbursement policies should the city decide to rehabilitate Fuller School for a return to school use?
3. What is the projected useful life of the elementary school modular units, bought some five years ago with an expedited amortization period for the repayment of the resulting debt because they would not last the usual 20 years over which such a debt is usually repaid?
4. What will be the impact on overall elementary classroom needs when we lose the use of those modulars because of their early deaths?
5. Why has the community implicitly accepted an elementary school placement formula whereby the suburban Wards 1, 4 and 5 may host elementary schools but the downtown urban Wards 2 and 3 may not?
I could go on, but I hope my point is clear: it is a mistake to decide which model car we want to buy before we figure out whether buying this new car now is either the right priority or a purchase we can afford in the long-run.
Until valid answers to my questions are in hand, and I will continue to press for them, the West Parish project will not have my support. And, without satisfactory resolutions to these concerns, the project shouldn't have the community's support, either.

Reviewed from notes from 6/10/14
Batch 05
A- Pours clear and golden with a half-finger of bright white tight foam. This recedes to a collar and leaves some lacing. Some nice alcohol legs are observed when swirled.
S- The aroma is very sour and there is a lot of Brett funk. Overripe apples, tart cherries, pineapple, and oak tannins. Some Granny Smith apple and lemony sourness. Very complex, refreshing, and inviting aroma!
T- Wow, this is warhead sour! Crazy amounts of cherry and lemon sourness. The oak tannins are the only thing restraining and mellowing the sourness. Very acidic and lactic. Refreshing, but bracingly sour!
M- The mouth feel is delicate, medium bodied, and lightly carbonated.
O- This is an excellent sour, though not for the uninitiated! Maybe lacking the complexity and subtleties needed to make it truly world class, but wonderful none-the-less!

Poured from a 375ml bottle into a tulip glass. Batch #6
A- Pours a deep chardonnay golden yellow color. Has a very high wine like clarity. Small fizzy head that dissipated quickly.
S- Lots of sour apple, some vinegar, some light vanilla, good amount of oak. some white wine character in there.
T- Similar to aroma but amplified to an insane degree. Lots of tart lemon, sour apple, and vinegar. Finishes with a dry yeasty note. Has that old barn cellar thing that sours usually have.
M- Medium-light the flavor makes this a sipper.
O- This is one of the most sour beers I've had and if you're looking for something that delivers in the pucker department seek this one out. It is also somewhat too sour for me in my tastes. It's missing a bit of the subtlety that I got from Supplication. Still an amazing beer and if you want to test the limits of sour seek it out.

Batch 005, big, big thanks to Tim for pulling this one out of the cellar and sharing it. Definitely a nice surprise. Pours a somewhat dull, golden-yellow blend with a mild chill haze, leaving the beer translucent with very mild clarity. The small, eggshell colored head builds up to almost a half-inch before quickly fizzling away into thin air.
Just from the aroma, I can already tell that this is gonna be one tart and sour MF'er. I bring my nose to the glass and my nostrils are immediately assaulted by an army of acidic and tart aromas; pure lactic acid in a glass. I'm kidding... But, seriously. Green apples, grapes, cherries, tart vinegar, mild oak, and a light but noticeable funk in the background. Probably one of the most sour "smelling" beers I've had the pleasure of sniffing, so I can only imagine how this one is going to taste. It's already got my saliva glands bubbling.
The taste is a brilliant collaboration of everything picked up on the nose, only amplified about a hundred times - extremely fruity and zesty. It's super sour and extremely tart, right from the beginning. Definitely one of the biggest lip-smacking, puckering beers I've had. Juicy, sour apples, lemon juice, white grapes. Huge acidity with heaps of vinous and vinegar flavors. Every single nook and cranny of my mouth is coated with this incredibly sour flavor. It's got me salivating like Pavlov's fucking dog over here. Some light wood and oak comes into the beer near the end and into the aftertaste, along with a light bit of funk, yeast, and musk. Thin-medium bodied with a huge bout of carbonation.
Whew! Now that's a sour beer. Huge sour flavors - so incredibly tart and puckering. Suck a lemon or drink pure lactic acid and you're right on par with Beatification. Nice little addition of funky and Brett notes, too. Thanks again to Tim for breaking this one out, it was incredible.
Had an earlier batch at Jeff's house (thanks, Jeff!) and this stuff was even better than I remembered. So impossibly sour and so incredibly drinkable. I've never been more sad to see an empty glass.

Batch 2.
Hazy pale orange color with a minimal off-white head that fizzes away.
The aroma is acidic and fruity. Very intense. Notes of cheese and dust, with a sharp lemon character. Very nice.
The flavor is intensely sour with crystal clear lemon notes. Not as funky as the smell. Notes of grass and dust. Obvious cellar character with lovely barrel notes. The finish is bone dry and almost harshly sour.
Medium body, fairly lively carbonation.
This might be the most genuine American sour ale I've come across. Very lambic-like in terms of sourness and overall character.

If only I had the same kind of access to the Russian River beers as I do to the Lost Abbey. If even they were even a little further away. A four hour drive. A five hour drive. Each and every one of the Russian River beers had something to fucking say. The Beatification of all had the most intense things to say, just extremely funky and flowery on the nose. When I popped it open it smelled like diapers or something, heavily stank cheese, I screamed, I passed it around, I got stoked. This was the overall champion of the night for me by a long shot, part of a very small (4 people) Russian River tasting. Beatification is a barrel aged and "spontaneously fermented" beer, brewed with wild yeast and then aged in barrels which have been used for both its original purpose and for making other beers that Russian River offers, meaning that it has a whole lot of life in the wood that contributes an insane amount of complex flavor to the beer. This beer has a list of the known yeast and bacteria strains present in the beer, which beyond being geeky is so insane that you can't just love it if you're interested in the science and alchemy of brewing. Poured beautifully from the mini-Champagne like bottle with a cork and cage and it really is like an intense spoiled semi-brute Champagne that could only come from Belgium, except that it's from California. Infected, golden, attractive. Russian River makes the beers that are closest to those from the motherland, with the perfect amount of American screw-all attitude to boot. This is so much like a Gueuze that it's hard to believe it's not, and it's in the same family as the Leelanau and Jolly Pumpkin beers which are so overtly "out there" that you can't help but listen up. Highest, highest respect for this brew, heavy dog compliments.

Batch 5
A - Pours a clear yellowish orange, with a small head that quickly dissipates. Minimal lacing, but some visible carbonation in the glass.
S - Crisp and slightly tart with a funk. Hint of lemon zest and a sliced green apple.
T - This beer packs a very intense sour bite! There's a nice fruitiness (green apple in particular) too and a perceived sweetness though it's actually pretty dry.
M - the brew was medium in body with a low amount of carbonation which had a citrusy, slight fruity, acidic, sour, and dry finish.
O - Another great sour from Russian River. I prefer Supplication and Consecration over this one.

4-17-08: Batch 001-PH1. Finally getting to crack my PH1 bottle on a beautiful sunny day. Pours into my glass a lightly hazy honey amber orange with a thick two finger head of creamy bubbles. Aromas bring a mix of citrus, honey and crisp malts bathed in a Brett laden veil. Musty, sharp vinegar and acidic tones alongside woody aspects. Extremely complex and intriguing. Simply awesome.
First sip brings a crisp, sharp malt upfront along with swirling citrus, lemon zest and honey flavors. Mouth puckering sour midway that brings with it a dense array of Brett nuances. Old wood, acidic vinegar, hay, musty funkiness. I get a slight grape aspect as well. The tart and sour aspects are more pronounced that the regular 001. It flows down quite dry overall. An amazing sensory experience in a glass.
Mouthfeel is crisp with punchy carbonation that carries the beer down with a solid effervescence. A great sipper on my porch at the end of a beautiful spring day. One of my all time favorite beers hands down.
7-13-07: Batch 001. Pours into my tulip glass a clear amber orange with a good inch of bubbly white head and lots of big bubbles rising up to the top. Aromas burst out of the glass with light citrus aromas bathed in brett funkiness. Musty, horse blanket, acetic farmhouse aromas alongside woody and honey scents as well. Has a really bright, vibrant character to it. Wow. This is just wonderful.
First sip brings a rush of tart and sour and a nice base malt. Light citrus flavors, lemon rind and honey mingle in the funkiness of the brew. There's a nice woody dryness with each sip along with a fairly sharp acidic bite. Finishes with a lingering tart funkiness, rather dry. I may be imagining it but I get a bit of a green olive aftertaste with each sip. This is simply an amazing sour, wild ale.
Mouthfeel is on the lighter side with a lively, light carbonation that rushes across the palate with each sip. Really makes drinking this brew enjoyable. I wish this came in a 750ml bottle as I could easily and throughly enjoy the whole bottle myself. Beatification ranks with the best Russian River brews I've had and to be honest the best brews I've had overall. Cheers to Vinnie, Peter at NB and everyone else at RR that made this brew possible. Quite an achievement!

poured from a bottle into a RR tulip.
A - golden and dense, a bit like honey. a bit of bubbles form at the top once it's poured but there is really not much of a head to speak of.
S - lots of vinegar and oak.
T - not as sour as i expected, but it's got a wonderful flavor. the brett is predominant and you can definitely taste the oak. not much in the way of fruit in this one, but you can taste some of the alcohol at the end.
M - champagne-like tight carbonation.
D - a very nice beer to enjoy, one bottle at a time. i really like this stuff.

Sabo Farm
When Harold and Doris Sabo approached retirement, they decided to sell their 2,500-acre Clearwater County farm bordering the Red Lake Chippewa Reservation in northern Minnesota. Acting on the Sabos' desire to see the land added to the reservation, TPL helped the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe acquire the property in 1994. Now the band has added wild rice farming to their other businesses, which include milling, commercial fishing, gaming, and waste management. The farm's 1,300 acres of wild rice paddy produce 75 tons of commercial wild rice annually and host thousands of migrating waterfowl.

Cement Block Safety
With all of the snow and ice people tend to put cement blocks in the back of their trucks for weight to give added traction. If you do this,PLEASE secure these.I lost a classmate several years ago when his truck went off the road in winter. He had several cement blocks in the back of his truck which became projectiles when the truck suddenly stopped. One of the block went through the rear window and struck him in the head. He died at 18 years old 35 years ago. Be safe and use bags of tube sand instead.
Re: Cement Block Safety
Very true. I saw an accident that a young man was involved in and a radio he had in the back window killed his passenger at a low speed collision. Grump

I see this everyday at work and try to warn people of the dangers. I also say not to haul anything inside the truck cab that you couldn't take up the side of your head.
Here's what I've done for winter weight for the last 20 years. This pipe is filled with melted solid lead, it'll weigh in between 200 to 300 lbs. The boys at the shop roll their eyes each fall when it's time to bolt it on again.
As you can see, the salt's starting to get to it and the hitch, it's about time for painting again.

Re: Cement Block Safety
The sand tubes setting in the back of an open pick-up bed will collect moisture in the sand and freeze making it as lethal as a cement block. A friend of mine had some sand bags in the back of his pick-up, right next to the cab, a few years ago and while going up a steep hill while off roading, the sand bag which had frozen to the bed, broke free and slid back and bent his tailgate in the middle.
