Understanding your mammogram report is important, whether it says "no sign of cancer" or it indicates that changes have occurred which need follow-up. Your mammogram report will have several kinds of information on it, much of it expressed in medical terms. Discuss your results with your doctor to make sure you understand what it means for your breast health.
Waiting for the Results:
You can expect to get a written report in the mail within 30 days of the mammogram. When you arrive for your appointment, check at the desk to be sure that the office has your most current address and phone number. Your doctor also will receive a copy of the report.
Information that Appears on Your Mammogram Report:
- patient information
- medical history
- procedures
- findings
- impression (BIRADS classification)
- recommendation for further tests, if needed
Findings -- the Critical Information on Your Mammogram:
The findings section is a list of things found on a radiologist's reading of your mammogram. If you have nothing of concern and all appears well, it will be assessed as normal or negative or benign (not cancerous). If the radiologist sees anything that causes concern or appears abnormal, or is a change from your previous mammogram, it will be assessed as suspicious or abnormal, or suggestive of malignancy (cancerous).
Descriptions of Abnormalities:
If you have abnormalities or changes on your mammogram, some details will be included in the report. These details can include:
- size of the finding
- location
- shape or outline
- density of breast tissue
Warning Signs of Breast Cancer:
Lumps and bumps and other abnormalities may be described with these terms, if the radiologist thinks you may have breast cancer:
- clustered calcifications, microcalcifications
- spiculated mass (spiky lump)
- assymetrical density of breast tissue
- skin thickening
- retraction (skin or nipple pulling inwards)
- focal distortion (something is pressing on tissue)
Impressions From Your Radiologist:
Your mammogram report may include a Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System - BIRADS classification, which is a number that indicates your radiologist's overall impression of your mammogram. The scale for BIRADS goes from one to five, with higher numbers indicating a greater possibility of breast cancer.
Possible Recommendations For Follow-Up:
Your radiologist may make some recommendations based on your mammogram results. The kinds of follow-up that may be needed are:
- no other studies needed
- three-month or six-month follow-up imaging
- spot views
- magnification
- diagnostic mammogram
- breast ultrasound (for lumps and masses)
- biopsy (for a tissue sample)
Be Sure You Understand Your Results:
If your mammogram report states anything other than normal or negative (clear of cancer), please discuss it with your doctor. Research has shown that although 70 percent of patients clearly understand a normal mammogram result, 50 percent of patients who have an abnormal result do not understand what it means. This study also showed that a patient showed the best understanding of a mammogram when the results were explained in person or on the phone, by a health professional. Follow-up tests can clear up results, and give you a plan of action to protect your breast health.

Perez-Stable, "Poor Patient Comprehension of Abnormal Mammography Results" (2005). Journal of General Internal Medicine. 20 (5), pp. 432-437. 10.1111/j.1525-1497.2005.40281.x.

Earlier in April, we told you about a church on Deer Park Street plagued by a row of abandoned duplexes. The owner of that property has promised to clean it up, but he also wants you to know that he is making positive contributions to the community. He says his efforts have already helped take back neighborhoods like Pleasant Oaks Apartments on 1225 Bailey Avenue.
Children playing on manicured property. Since 2009, it's a typical scene at Pleasant Oaks Apartments on Bailey Avenue. It hasn't always been that way. Formerly named Georgetown Terrace, the living was not easy with drugs, violence, loitering and the like making life difficult for residents. Long time renters like Dorothy Lee Clark remember those days.
She said, "We had different people coming on the property and they didn't live over here which I see a whole lot and the security has changed a whole lot and it makes it a little more safer now, but back then it wasn't, but he has done a magnificent job with these apartments and I commend him for that."
Clark is referring to 36-year-old Gowon Brisby. His company now owns the property.
Brisby said, "We'll have a steadfast approach to crime and no nonsense approach to tearing up the property. We're not going to take that."
Brisby is a 1999 graduate of Tougaloo College who moved here from Chicago and decided to stay. And now, he says, he's on a mission.
"We all have to do our part and this is just my part to help take back the city of Jackson and help take back the community.", said Brisby.
Brisby's company is also responsible for restoring the old Cohen Brothers building across the street from the King Edward Hotel. What will be done with it, he says, is still in the planning stage.
He said, "We're unsure right now. It's probably going to be along the lines of restaurant, retail operation; things between those two options, most likely, but it's definitely a project, another project where it was down and we came and tried to help uplift the community."
As for his abandoned duplexes on Deer Park Street, Brisby has this promise to the members of Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church across the street.
"Church members, it will be addressed. It definitely will be addressed. It's not just gonna hang out there and keep hanging and hanging. We will get something done about it.", he said.
Brisby says he is trying to find a contractor who will do a good job at a reasonable rate to demolish the dilapidated duplexes.
Let us know how we can help you take back your neighborhood. And, if you've already turned your community around, we want to know how you did it. Just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity:
• "(Broncos COO) Joe Ellis does not know what he does not know (about) running a football team. What he needs is a proven football man who can run the daily operations. That is not John Elway. Elway is a figurehead. They need someone who can come in and stabilize the football operations fast — someone who brings instant credibility and respect at all levels. Fans might like Elway, and the owner might like Elway, and the players might like to have him around. But look at that division. You've got Al Davis, (Chargers GM) A.J. Smith and (Chiefs GM) Scott Pioli in place. I knew John's father, Jack, and he was great guy, but he coached and scouted all his life. He was a grinder. (John) is going to be in for a rude awakening. It reminds me a lot of when (Dan) Marino was tinkering with Miami. Wait until (Elway) finds out how much time it requires."
• "The problem with (Cardinals RB) Beanie Wells (coming out of Ohio State) was his competitiveness, and I don't think that has changed in the NFL. Has he done anything special with the Cardinals? The talent was never a question — it was the want-to."
• "The Redskins would have been better off with Jason Campbell. Everyone wanted to rail (against) the Eagles for letting Donovan McNabb go. The reasons they let him go are becoming very clear now. It was addition by subtraction for the Eagles."
• "Who have the Jets beaten? They have a helluva record, but who have they really beaten? They have not beaten anyone. The Patriots showed how vulnerable they are against the big play."
• "The Saints are the defending world champs and no one is talking about them. They are one game out of first place. They control their own destiny. They only have one conference loss and Atlanta is still on the schedule."
• "San Diego gets lucky sometimes. With (Matt) Cassel out, they can win the division. The coaches that have done a great job are the Raiders'. (Tom) Cable was dead and buried a month ago. Oakland is undefeated in its own division. … I don't know that anyone could handle Al Davis. What you need is a containment strategy."
• "When you look at the Patriots' offense, what really stands out is how smart they are. The receivers run precise routes at the right lengths and know exactly where they are on the field. The line works very well together. The quarterback is one of the smartest in the game. Even their young tight ends — they are rough around the edges, but they are football players. … How many coaches could start that many rookies and have success?"
• "(Jaguars DT) Terrance Knighton has really developed into a solid player. If you look at that line with (DE Jeremy) Mincey and (Austen) Lane, it's not the most talented group, but they get after it and they are fun to watch."
• "You have to understand odds to be a good head coach. You have to come into every game prepared and know what you are up against. When does it make sense to attempt a field goal? You have to research the field. You need to know the conditions. You need to understand situational football and have more than just a gut feel for why things will work. You'd be surprised how unprepared some coaches are coming into games."
• "The owners need to find a way to get the labor situation resolved fast. If it's not done sooner, I don't know that Bill Cowher or Jon Gruden will find jobs. You're talking about some of the best football coaches in the National Football League. They clearly want back in and are good for the game, but there is not a place for them, not with the uncertainty. They are not coming cheap. … You know what suffers — it's the product on the field."

On Saturday in Wrigley Field, Illinois has struck first, taking first possession and running through the Northwestern defense to take a 7-0 lead. Running back Mikel LeShoure has been Illinois' offense thus far.
No, really. Mikel LeShoure accounted for all three plays of Illinois' opening drive, as he galloped for runs of 32, 30, and 4 yards to drive to the end zone. LeShoure has already surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the season, with 164 more through the air.
On the ensuing Northwestern possession, the Wildcats coughed up the ball, giving Illinois possession again. Did the Illini bother passing in this possession? Nope! After three rushes from quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, LeShoure took the ball three more times to punch it in for his second touchdown of the day. Illinois leads early, 14-0.
Thus far, the claustrophobic Wrigley Field confines haven't been an issue for the men on the field, but they have been somewhat problematic for ESPNU's film crew (screencap via @bubbaprog):
The fans, though, are coming through with the signage:

A word from Ambar
Where southeastern Europe meets South East D.C.Continued
Our aim is to put together the finest products of the New World and Old World for your dining pleasure. Perennially on the edge of great empires, the Balkans owes much of its food culture to its history, geography, and climate. The term Balkan is generally believed to come from the Turkish word meaning: "a chain of wooded mountains." With a desire to introduce Washington, D.C. to cutting edge Balkan cuisine, proprietor Ivan Iricanin has created a dining space that will delight and indulge the senses. Primarily featuring "small plates," Ambar will also offer wines and spirits from the Balkans not often experienced by the American diner.

- AMAZINGhappyfoodieVIPDined on 8/31/2014The unlimited brunch is one of the best in DC! The variety of entrees is great! The best part was the service and the hidden gem of a rooftop patio. It's enclosed and they have AC, but it's quaint and cute!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- overpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014The menu looked interesting but ended up being only mediocre and overpriced. The vegetarian items we ordered were the highlights - the shrimp and chicken dishes were quite disappointing.
- Interesting food;hospitable serviceTeddoDCVIPDined on 8/30/2014Friendly and attentive but not intrusive service. Only one of our party had been to Ambar before, so we really enjoyed the "Bottomless Balkans" option as a wonderful way to sample much of the menu. I highly recommend the cauliflower, the mushroom crepes, the Balkan kebabs and the brussels sprouts.
- A Balkan dining experienceDCTravelerDined on 8/27/2014Went to the restaurant with a friend from the Balkans. His starting point was whether or not the food was as good as his mother, an ethnic Serbian. He found almost all of the items on the menu to be generally as good as his mother's. He is considering coming back to the full tasting menu to see whether the remaining items on the menu pass that expections Had a glass of rakia. He also said that he wanted to come back on a Sunday, when they had thier half price menu for this drink. The waitress who was from Serbia, was quite helpful in advising him as to her personal choices. An overall fun evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic setting/mediocre foodDebonairGentDined on 8/23/2014Nice little restaurant in the heart of Barracks Row has a wonderful ambiance in stark contrast to the noisy spot next door; unfortunately the food was underwhelming both in portion and taste. At least the bill didn't break the bank.Special Features:
- Best Balkan food ever!lou07VIPDined on 8/22/2014The chef does a fabulous job creating flavorful dishes that have the right amount of spice. Loved ever dish out of 15 that our table tried from the white fish dip to the mussels to the pork tenderloin. Definitely going back.Special Features:
- Perfect!AlliDined on 8/18/2014We have gone to Ambar numerous times. On Monday, it was my mother-in-law's birthday and we were going for the first time with our six week old. Was not sure how it would be with the baby but they were very very gracious and they had gave us outdoor seating because it was beautiful out and it ended up being just perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MarioDined on 8/16/2014The food was excellent everyone of the entries we tried was super!! Great service and we had a good time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SO GOODJuliaDined on 8/15/2014Ambar is one of my new favorite restaurants! I went with friends for dinner during restaurant week and our group opted for the $50 unlimited small plates and bottomless drinks option. It was well worth it! The food was fantastic, some highlights were the bread basket with various dipping sauces, the smoked trout dip, and the brussels sprouts. We also tried about a million other things and were never disappointed. The drinks were also great, the mango lemonade was a big hit as well as the mojito. They were also kind enough to reserve us a seat on their patio so that we could be outside. I cannot wait to go back!Special Features:
- DisapointingFoodieDined on 8/15/2014Went for restaurant week. The mussels were shriveled and overcooked, and the duck tough. Desert was good. Won't go again.Special Features:
- Balkan food on Barracks RowTravelingDPSDined on 8/15/2014A friend and I tried Ambar for Restaurant Week. Great menu and value. We were able to share the small plates giving us a chance to try eight different menu items. Stand outs: Smoked Trout Dip, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, the Salmon entree with the horseradish sauce, and the four chocolate dessert. They like to turn over their tables quickly, so service can feel a little rushed. We requested a table outside or on the first floor due to mobility issues and were given a lovely table on the sidewalk cafe. I highly recommend and will definitely be going there again. A great addition to Barracks Row!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bottomless Balkandcist112Dined on 8/12/2014You have to get the bottomless balkan; it's amazingSpecial Features:
- Good food, terrible serviceDcfoodieDined on 8/12/2014Had a great time sharing food with my friend and enjoying all night happy hour, but the server really put a damper on our evening. She acted like she was doing us a favor by being physically present in front of us, never checked in on us, and was generally ride when she dropped off and picked up our check. Absolutely terrible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/12/2014I had high expectations for the meal and unfortunately the food was not as good as I had hoped based on friends raving reviews. The white veal soup had started separating when it was served, the almond crusted chicked was burned to a crisp, and the sauce on the asparagus was separating when it was served. The seasoning on the food in general was bland. The dessert was wonderful. The time and attention to the presentation and the flavors was what I expected for the entire meal. The server, Anna was amazing. She was attentive and gracious, friendly and fun. Anna was the saving grace of the meal. I intend on going back for another try as this was my first visit to see this experience was anomaly.Special Features:
- Great service (and food)CaitlinEDined on 8/11/2014The food was delicious, but what really stuck me was the service. Our server helped us navigate the menu with my peanut allergy in mind and offered substitutions for sides, etc. Great service and the Balkan kabob was the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Joke!travels64Dined on 8/10/2014This "Serbian " restaurant left us still hungry .A tapas experience at an Eastern European is a joke! Anytime you dine at a Eastern European table ,it always fills ypu to the brim with overabundance of all sorts of dishes. This was short of a simple sampling of appetizers. No live Balkan music= NO AMBIANCE!
- Staff Changes, Maybe?MoniqueDined on 8/10/2014The last time my girlfriends and I visited Ambar, the service and food were impeccable. This time, not so much. The waitress kept forgetting to enter our orders, at times saying other waiters picked up our dishes by mistake. The meat pie was either overcooked or had sat out for awhile; it was very hard. The waffles were inconsistent; some were light and fluffy, others were hard and nearly burned. We hope service gets better.Special Features:
- Solid Brunch OptionAJFoodieDined on 8/10/2014$35 bottomless brunch can't be beat, and the portions are quite healthy. Conveniently located near the Eastern Market metro, I will certainly be returning here.Special Features:
- Favorite in DCCharlesSchweinDined on 8/8/2014The food at Ambar is excellent. The forest gnocchi is my favorite dessert in DC, possibly my favorite dish in DC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentJazzieDined on 8/8/2014Everyone at the establishment was excellent. All greeted me with a smile. The food was excellent.Special Features:
- InterestingJTNUGENTVIPDined on 8/4/2014A refreshing change of pace from all the typical DC fare. Balkan-inspired tapas/meze and some good Bulgarian wine. There are many different types of meze to choose from, including some bigger plates to share. It is very easy to go several times and not order the same things twice. Monday is also half-price bottle of wine night, which was very welcome.Special Features:
- Ambar SummerHaaPDined on 8/3/2014I went in a group of 9 to Ambar for my sister's birthday brunch. The staff were very accommodating to our large group and the food was excellent. It did get a little loud at times in the dining area but nothing overwhelming. Overall a great experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/3/2014I loved the food as usual. One thing that I didn't like was how there was such a lag in between delivering my dishes. I felt as though it may have been a tactic of theirs to discourage ordering more than just a few dishes on the unlimited brunch plates special, which I was disappointed by because I wanted to try more dishes than I was able in the few hours that I was there (we were there for 2.5 hours and I was only able to try 4 dishes during that time).Special Features:
- expensiveBenHDined on 8/1/2014price to expensive for the service and food portion ratio. The servant was not flexible and had attitude. We walked out of the place hungry.
- Outstanding casual dinnerDCTCADined on 7/31/2014Seems as if it would also be good for a special dinner. Wonderful food. Too loud upstairs, but they moved us downstairs cheerfully.Special Features:
- Two floors of awesomeHaven2012Dined on 7/28/2014At first I was a bit worried about the noise level. The first floor is on the street level and was rather full. Luckily they seated my friend and I upstairs on the second floor. Not only did the second floor have a nice view, it was quiet and we were one of two tables up there. There are full-service bars on both the first and second floor. The kitchen is on the first floor. Whether you are looking for a quiet place with pleasant hubbub of background noise, or being in the middle of the busy/noisy city life, indoors or outdoors, this place has options! The food was amazing. The staff helped us navigate the menu. We both opted for the bottomless small plates, but I still had the option to just do food and my friend did food & drink.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for groups!StaceyDined on 7/27/2014Jojic Uros was our wonderful server for a recent brunch with eight women -- what a fantastic experience, eating little Balkan tidbits, sitting and chatting. I would definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great go to restaurant!!!marshVIPDined on 7/26/2014I take everyone who comes to town to visit here...the food is really good and reasonably priced. What I like best is that its not the same old food. The flavors are so interesting -- the drunken mussels are just fantastic and must be tried. The servers are all great and very knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend to anyone coming to Barracks Row!!!Special Features:
- IncredibledcmikeDined on 7/21/2014Amazing food, wonderful service, great restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- surpassed expectationsTaraDined on 7/20/2014Having been to Masa 14, zengo, and El Centro df, my expectations for Sunday brunch were quite high. First off the service was excellent on food delivery, refills, courtesy, and knowledge of the menu. Then the food. Some of the faire which didn't sound top exciting, once ordered, was tastier than could imagine. Multiple dishes highly impressed the whole crowd. The only down side (and super minor) is some of his other restaurants have a more unique special drink to accompany the typical brunch mimosa. While the one at ambar was delicious, it wasn't a stand out. As a side note, the bread basket that accompanies brunch as well should not be passed up. It was different from the typical muffins or scones and exceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty and great variety!ShermDined on 7/19/2014The small plates here are done well and taste great. They will remind you of some of Eastern Europe's most notable dishes, but they're nuanced a bit and are not quite what you would find in Belgrade or Sarajevo. That part was disappointing.Special Features:
- Happy to host guests here.NearNeighborDined on 7/16/2014With a note on the reservation request, we were able to get handicapped accessible seating. Food was delicious, as always. So happy that food is so reliably good as is service. Only regret is that leek croquettes have no been on the menu for quite a while now. They are certainly better than the almond crusted chicken which was flavorful but hard and dry as stiff cardboard.Special Features:
- Very Pleased!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/15/2014I made a reservation for 10 to celebrate a friend's bday! Our waiter was very friendly and did his best explain the different options we had for dining. I didn't realize until I got there that they had the unlimited tapas options for a set price. But I should have know since this is another Richard Sandoval restaurant. We opted for the unlimited option at 845 with the kitchen closing at 10. The staff did their best to make sure that all of our orders came out in just enough time before the kitchen shutting down. Great restaurant, impeccable food, great ambiance, and definitely a great staff! Did I mention that the food was amazing??? I will definitely be back when I have more time to really enjoy the bottomless tapas and drinks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentAlecDined on 7/13/2014I live very close and have been to Ambar several times. I've never had a bad experience. The service is great. The plates are smaller than at most other places which makes them perfect for sharing. Unlimited brunch for $35 is an incredible value. The menu has enough variety to satisfy all tastes. Do yourself a favor and check it out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vrlo Dobro!ZroweDined on 7/13/2014Brunch was very good! My only problem was my stomach: it was not big enough, so I and my sister could not eat everything we wanted. :) Thank you for your food and great service!Special Features:
- Great Place!AzazelloDined on 7/12/2014The service and food were both excellent at Ambar. In addition they had a good selection of wines and beers from the Balkans which one normally does not see at restaurants or wine shops. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bottomless BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/5/2014Food was great and service was solid. $35 for endless choices was more than worth it. Waffles were especially good...only mildly sweet and very light.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- better than evercharliebDined on 7/3/2014I've been to Ambar a number of times, and on the last visit had the "bottomless balkans" special, which is a recent addition to the menu. Ambar has always been good, and this time it was better than ever. Everything was outstanding; this is a great way to explore the small plates menu, and at $49, a great value for all that you get. Table favorites this time included some of the best calamari I have ever had, along with an interesting and great flavored steak tartare. House wines that were included were excellent. Service was very attentive. Highly recommend. Your entire party must choose this option, which is reasonable and makes sense given the nature of the special and the tendency to share these types of dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!SammyKVIPDined on 6/21/2014Four of us went to Ambar's this past Saturday night and did the $49 bottomless small plates and drinks--we had a fantastic time! We tried a ton of different things--everything delicious--and just kept drinking! Sandoval's restaurants never disappoint!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really good, and rustic as all hellCarloDined on 6/21/2014I've never been to an upscale farmhouse on the Balkan Peninsula, but I'm guessing it would look exactly like Ambar (decor is like a less ostentatious version of Mari Vanna, which pretty much encapsulates the Balkans relationship to Russia as a whole). Service was very attentive, bordering on awkwardly attentive. The food was really really good. Zucchini soup, white flatbread, Balkan kabob were all perfect. Crispy cauliflower was good, but we didn't finish it because it was a lot of fried food. Spicy crab dip was good, but forgettable - get the bread basket instead. And the desserts were all elaborate, beautiful, multi-component dishes, which I wasn't expecting. The 4 chocolates was really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Robin van Persie has been withdrawn for Manchester United in the first half of their game against Queens Park Rangers.
The Dutchman has played almost 2800 minutes of football for United without being injured, but it was perhaps always likely to happen eventually. The injury did not seem hugely serious, merely a slight problem with his back, and the decision to withdraw him early could perhaps be a precaution, with the Red Devils enjoying a 1-0 lead and with a Champions League clash against Real Madrid on the horizon. The striker was notoriously injury-prone during his Arsenal tenure, but had not shown any signs of his fragility so far at United.
Danny Welbeck was the man to replace Van Persie, and with United 1-0 up thanks to a stunner from Rafael, they will still be hopeful of a victory without their star striker that will leave them 15 points clear at the top of the table.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va, has been working on behalf of coal miners since 1964 when he came to work in West Virginia as a VISTA worker.
Now, three years after one of the worst mining disasters in modern history, Rockefeller and those who have signed on fight for his safety bill, which has yet to pass. While there has been some progress, either directly through regulatory agencies or small amendments to other bills, the Robert C. Byrd Mine and Workplace Safety and Health Act remains stalled in Congress.
"I wanted to do work — I'm not a business person," Rockefeller said of his move here. "Coal operators will tell you that. I'm a people person and I basically see myself as a social worker to try to make life better in different ways."
After a Senate speech only a few months after Rockefeller took coal companies to task for being too aggressive in fighting government regulation, the soon-to-retire senator has carefully drawn a line between issues of the coal miner and the coal company.
"Coal miners aren't a part of any of the problems we're facing," Rockefeller said.
He points to companies like Consol Energy that support a culture of safety. Consol Energy, though it has recorded a mine death at one of its mines this year, strive to achieve not only no fatalities, but also zero injuries.
"They think (safety), they talk it and they get good results because of it," Rockefeller said. "Others do only what they have to do and get away with."
Rockefeller said coal miners deal with those issues largely because they have so few choices to work elsewhere.
"There is, in our culture in Appalachia, sort of a tendency to do what you've been doing and change comes really hard," Rockefeller said.
Rockefeller said sometimes miners themselves can be obstacles to implementing safety measures. Companies, he said, should take an active in role in training and educating miners to overcome those problems.
"People don't like to be told to do what they ought not have to be told to do because they ought to be doing it on their own," Rockefeller said. "… When you tell them to do something they don't like it. The answer to that is, 'too bad.'"
One of the major roadblocks to getting mine safety legislation, Rockefeller said, is a misunderstanding of the coal industry itself. With so few states producing coal, what's important to West Virginia doesn't necessarily resonate well in Washington.
"Coal miners and coal mining is hard to understand; you've got to go underground," Rockefeller said. "There's not great understanding."
That reliance on the companies to police themselves, Rockefeller said, is the sort of thing that has allowed the disasters and individual deaths of coal miners to happen every year.
"In the older days, the people who ran the mines had come up through the mines," Rockefeller said. "They'd been coal miners; they'd been fire bosses. … You didn't have to work with them as much. Not it's a distant decision from Wall Street."
At far too many companies, Rockefeller believes, the disconnect between employees and profit make it to easy for management to become lackadaisical.
"Unless you are connected somehow to your mine and to your miners beyond just little summer picnics — that's not it," Rockefeller said. "It's about caring, wandering around in the mines unannounced and encouraging your miners and retraining your miners."
Rockefeller, who already said he won't run again in 2014, said, "I'm going to have to do an awful lot of praying to get Republicans to go with it in the House and Senate."
"… We have a terrible political problem up here," Rockefeller said. " … It's very hard to get a minority party in the Senate and much more difficult in House to take coal mine safety as anything but something that should be left up to the coal mines and keep the government out of it."
That doesn't mean there hasn't been progress. Companies with repeated violations who are put on a pattern of violation notice status. Numerous issues with the program and getting a company identified in POV status was in the original bill, but was enacted by federal regulators.
Rockefeller said the bill still puts the POV revisions in code. Another amendment required certain mine incidents to be reported in a Securities Exchange Commission after it was added to the Dodd Frank Act by Rockefeller.
Much of the momentum and furor for mine safety in both Congress and the media weakened after the immediate wake of the explosion of the Upper Big Branch mine that killed 29 coal miners. Rockefeller said it's important to remember there are still risks and hazards every day, many similar to the same problems that existed at UBB.
"That's so wrong and sometimes we in Congress do it," Rockefeller said. "It's maybe a part of human nature. Coal mining goes along and a disaster happens and you focus on that. It's part of human nature, but its wrong human nature. We should always be aware of when you can slip something into another bill."
Rockefeller said he particularly finds the discovery of whistleblowers and who that provide advance notice of coming inspections are particularly offensive.
"It's the 18th Century if you don't have whistleblowers," Rockefeller said. He recalled a visit to Beckley where he encountered people who despite "very tall personalities" were "scared too stiff" to blow the whistle on their employers.
"You just don't quit," Rockefeller said. "Never quit on the matter of mine safety. You can fail, they can block you, but you keep coming back."
Rockefeller said he will miss public policy when he leaves the Senate, but he won't miss what he says is a new kind of politics dedicated toward obstructing new laws.
"I wish you could come up here and spend three days sitting in the Senate gallery watching the Senate do nothing," he said. "… What's happened to the American press? What's happened to the Congress?"

The procession will be a traditional firefighter and Marine Corps service. It will include the honor guard, a 21 gun salute and military flyovers.
The procession will end at the Marana Mortuary.
The funeral service and the procession will be open to the public, but organizers recommend to get there as early as possible.

The procession will start around 3:15 p.m. More than 100 first responder vehicles are expected to participate in this six and a half mile procession.
procession will run the following course from the Marana Airport:

The August member's meeting saw us descend upon Averys wine cellars for a fabulous evening of wine tasting and general merriment.
Averys wine merchants can trace its history back to 1793 and are known for being among the pioneers of the wine trade. Mimi Avery, a 5th generation Avery gave us an insightful talk on each of the wines and a fascinating taste of her world choosing wines, making us all just a little bit envious of her job. It is always an extremely popular event and as ever we easily filled all the spaces.
Thanks Averys for an absolutely fantastic evening, some of us are already looking forward to the Bollinger tasting!!!

Here is the plot; it was written at least 30 years ago, but I don't know the author/title. Any ideas?
In brief: a long space voyage from earth to some star; the psychologist is lively and normal, everyone else, including the main character (MC), is much less so; MC notices an older member always hanging out at one spot in the craft. Later, the older member dies (natural causes). MC investigates the spot, sees a crack in the ship(!) and sees that they are not on a voyage at all but on an airstrip. The project is a simulation of a long voyage, to study its effects; the psychologist has his own escape hatch to the outside world, and is there to observe them. I forget the ending, but that is the essence of the plot.

- OutstandingBob56Dined on 8/18/2014Recent dinner was terrific! Handled last-minute reservation perfectly, seated us at table with excellent view right away, waiter helped us save a few bucks by offering prix fixe with a few substitutions to match what we were ready to order (waiter and server Chris were top-notch), corkage was reasonable, and ambiance was great. Recently had a couple slip-ups at the restaurant with some order mistakes or delays, but everything was perfect for us this time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WowGloberVIPDined on 8/16/2014One of the very best restaurants in all of San Diego - everything outstanding!
- Still my favorite steak houseSkipDined on 8/14/2014I have had many wonderful meals at Ruth's Chris Steak House, this was not one of them. The first rib eye, ordered medium rare, arrived medium well. The Manager saw Me cutting and examining the steak, came right over and apologized. He took the steak and brought back another one which was rare. Not wanting any further adou, I said it was fine. It was also the poorest quality of meat I have had at RCSH. the quality of service was excellent! The side dishes and dessert were really good! The Manager, waiters and hostesses were wonderful! I'll be back; we all make unintended errors sometimes. Thanks 30+ years of great meals!Special Features:
- Love the SizzleKGirlDined on 8/13/2014We can always expect and get the best steak! Love coming here and the location is close to home. Great bar and happy hour, but often really crowded.Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/8/2014We have celebrated a few Ann Dinners eating at Ruths Chris. This By far has been the best experience in our 22 years of marriage. We have dined all over the world at Ruth's Chris but Wow this locations was amazing. The hostess asked us if we were celebrating anything, we mentioned it was our 22nd Ann and before we knew it she was gone and back escorting us to our table. When we saw our table we both were shocked at the attention to detail. The hostess had arranged red rose petals and confetti on the table. She told us that they wanted to make this the best night ever. Boy she wasn't kidding. Our waiter had been filled in and greeted us with Happy 22nd Ann and thank you for celebrating it with us. The whole night was perfect!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mcschnoodles03Dined on 8/2/2014We have dined here at least 7 times. We were seated at the same table 3 out of 7 (all but one time we were a couple). The server was clearly over whelmed. I ordered a medium well steak with a hot buttered plate in case it wasn't cooked to my liking. We had 4 servers and a manager in 2 hours, so there was confusion. My medium -well steak was in the words of the server "rare at best". By the time I got my man course my husband was finished his t-bone.Special Features:
- the1guyDined on 8/1/2014you dont even need a knife for the steaks, the view is awesome and service is greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice touchpecasbillDined on 7/30/2014I noticed that my wife's menu had a lower price for an item than mine did. I thought I would have a little fun so I told the waiter that I would have the item at the price on her menu not the price on my menu. Of course the check came with the price on my menu as expected. We brought our own bottle of wine. When the check came I noticed that there was no corkage fee for the wine and told the waiter that he forgot to charge me. He said that he and management discussed the corkage fee and decided to wave the charge because I pointed out the menu pricing error. I told waiter that it was not necessary but much appreciated. As usual, a lovely dinner with great service.Special Features:
- Wonderful ExperienceJudyHDined on 7/29/2014We were escorted to our table immediately and as I had expressed it was my daughter's 50th birthday as we were seated they sprinkled little happy birthday "dust' all around the center of table. We opened our menu's and there at top of the menu page they had printed on a machine Happy 50th birthday Cindy Davis. It was on all our men yes. So classy and memorable. She asked if she could take that page home and they brought her all four if our menus. It was a night to remember and she couldn't wait to take a picture of menu & put it on Facebook. Thank you for sending the correct info to Ruth Chris in Del Mar, CASpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionAnniversaryDined on 7/25/2014Took my wife to Ruth Chris in Carmel Valley location for anniversary. I used the third party florist on website to deliver flowers on site = really nice. Bar was a bit small and had to wait till seating was available = happy hour and Friday so understandable however bar does seem undersized. Service was very good and we were seated up stairs = no view but quieter location. Difficult for waiters to deliver food up & downstairs = no dumbwaiter. Food was excellent. We went for the seafood that evening and dinner for two. All in all I thought everything was done well. Expect to spend in the $250 bracket (2 people food, champagne, cocktails) for a nice evening dining experience.Special Features:
- Unusually disappointingCityGirlVIPDined on 7/25/2014My friends and I have dined at this Ruth's Chris location and did not have any problem with our order. This time was filled with problems with our order not being cooked to order. Maybe the kitchen staff was new, but we had to send back two dinners because the kitchen added sauce that we specifically requested to not be topped on our steaks and the steaks were cooked the wrong done-ness. The server upgraded our desserts for free and gave us a partial credit on one Ruth's Classic dinner. We will have to reconsider this location for future visits to Del Mar. The Ruth's location in Irvine would never make such critical errors.
- Always Nice....OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/23/2014...this location had great sunset lighting filling the dining room! Always a nice dinner regardless of the location for RC!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Saturday night!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/19/2014I was able to get a last minute reservation and service was fantastic. They gave us a couple options on where we would want to sit and I really appreciate that. Food was well prepared and presented well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experienceIntheknowVIPDined on 7/19/2014We have been to a few different Ruth's Chris and this one is by far the best. From the moment you walk through the door your evening is perfection. The Ruth's team goes out of their way to make sure your dining experience is supurb....we can't wait to come back. And, we are always so happy to see the lovely and joyous Miss Shelby. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- Kywaigrl53Dined on 7/19/2014Was greeted warmly by a very friendly Hostess. Although it took awhile before we were acknowledged by Lynn, our server, our Dining Room Attendent, Graham, was personable, attentive, and provided outstanding service. I ordered my fave, Ribeye steak and as usual, it was the best! My husband had the lobster/steak combination and truly enjoyed it. This Del Mar location is the best in San Diego and located close to where we live. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyond.

Last minute plans changed after finding out the resorts main dinning room, Veladora was closed Mondays. Ruth's Chris was very accommodating with our requests, and Open Table made this very easy to book a table for five with an hours notice. Our waiter made the evening meal an experience worth returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Nice for romantic dinnersItsrobynbDined on 7/5/2014My husband and I enjoy going to nice steak restaurants; especially for special occasions. This was our 11th anniversary, and we chose a San Diego favorite. Even though our romantic dinner ended up including a "plus one," due to having no babysitter at the last minute, we had an excellent meal. The filet was amazing, as usual, and I really loved the chop salad. The server was very accommodating to meet the picky needs of our 9-year-old, and our view was amazing!Special Features:
- July 4th at Ruth'sMissChardieDined on 7/4/2014Decided that we would give Ruth's a try on the 4th of July. We have been there many times, but never on July 4th. We didn't have plans for the beach or fireworks, and I'm so happy that we didn't. Ruth's was excellent!! I had requested a booth through Open Table and they gave us a perfect table. It wasn't too crowded; which I was hoping would be the case. Our food was prepared perfectly!! Our wine was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great steak place in Del MarjpollVIPDined on 6/28/2014We were there to celebrate an anniversary and a birthday. The food was great, the ambiance was wonderful and our waiter did a superb job. Can't say more about our wonderful experience that we had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top of the Line Food and ServiceBankmomDined on 6/28/2014We have found Ruth's Chris Steak House - Del Mar to be our favorite place to celebrate a special occasion or just to splurge on a nice dinner out. The food and service are consistently excellent and while very attentive, the servers don't feel intrusive. Everytime we have gone to this restaurant, the manager comes by each table and seems truly interested in making sure the diners' experience is top notch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just great as usualGaryGVIPDined on 6/21/2014Food was delicious, fresh, well presented, perfect proportions. The service was excellent. We were welcomed like family. Perfect place to go for a special occasion or to make going there the special occasion.Special Features:
- Phone Number Help Return PurseDinnerWithaViewDined on 6/20/2014We had a lovely birthday dinner for my daughter. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I prearranged our reservation for the evening on OpenTable and at the time had to give my phone number and e-mail. I left without my purse and received a call before we got back to the hotel room that they had found my purse! Yea! I also received a reservation confirmation prior to arriving confirming the reservation and I appreciated it because it was an unusual time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent ServicerhermerDined on 6/15/2014My triple celebration was beautifully handled by our hostess. Father's Day, daughter's high school graduation and son's university graduation were made so much more enjoyable with participation of the house staff. Many thanks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Father's Day at Ruth's ChrisFoodieGalDined on 6/15/2014All in all it was a good experience. The food is the most consistent factor here - it was all good. It was extra busy because it was a holiday and they had 2 related issues of note. They were very behind on their bookings (1 half hour). The hostess suggested the bar to every family walking in, which was ridiculous considering every family walking in had children or minors with them because it was Father's Day. The service was rushed in many cases, and not the polished service we have had there before. We were not given a wine list/cocktail list when we were seated, and at one point the table busboy offered to take my husband's food which he was visibly still eating (he had his fork mid-air). Servers were polite, though, & food good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful foodsdgalDined on 5/31/2014We went to this restaurant for a birthday celebration. Our waitress was very attentive and patient with us as we took time to thoroughly peruse our menus. The food was perfectly prepared and our desserts were scrumptious. We have already decided to return for our next birthday celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pretty good steakJbeenDined on 5/29/2014We liked the restaurant. This was our first time here. The. Location is kind of in a very random spot. You get a spectacular view of the freeway. The food was good, although not really to order. My fiance and I ordered the ribeye. I got the 12oz, my fiance got the 16oz. We both asked for medium, but when we cut into the steak, it had no pink inside. It was very tasty, but steak should be cooked to what we want. I mean your spending $45 or more. Louis on his name tag or Luis as it said on our receipt was very nice. He did a wonderful job of serving us. The saving grace of the night. Dessert was pretty average too. We had the bread pudding. I was expecting a little more flavor. Oh well. It was a decent experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was a disappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/26/2014We went to Ruth's Chris for a special anniversary as we thought it would be a guaranteed good place for steak. It wasn't good. The Filet Mignon was disappointing, a very poor piece of meat. I recently went to Roth's Chris in Boston and it was very good. I won't be going back to the one in Del Mar. When the steak is very expensive it should be very good.
- This can be fixed!MikeVIPDined on 5/10/2014Been to this location many times over the years, good food, nice location, great wait staff. Unfortunately the reservation times during evenings are very poorly managed. Dined there on may 10. Reservation for 715 and seated at 8. Bar area packed with no room to sit and have a drink. Unfortunately this is my 3rd in row exact same issue at this location; all weekend dinner bookings. The reservation hostes wasn't helpful when asked when we'll have a table; answer; as soon as we get tables from last seating cleared! Fairly poor experience to start a special occasion of any sorts; waiting around. I hope the management fixes this problem. It can be fixed!
- Good againStevoskiVIPDined on 5/10/2014Been to RC many times and usually very good service and food. Same could be said this evening except Lynn, you need to get some better jokes! lolSpecial Features:
- Ruth's Chris @ Del Mar ReviewMarkCOsideDined on 5/6/2014We celebrated my wife's birthday at Ruth's Chris @ Del Mar. It was excellent as usual! The food came out sizzling hot on 500 deg. heated plates, to keep our food warm during our meal. The steaks were cooked to perfection and impeccably flavorful. The desserts were also very tasty. Our server was very attentive and did a great job of checking in on us. We reserve coming to Ruth's Chris for special occasions, and it's definitely worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Buen lugarOscarDined on 5/2/2014Lugar agradable para cenar.. falta ambiente en el piso superior.
- I little disappointedRichardVIPDined on 4/26/2014I use opentable because I detest waiting for tables at a restaurant. 99% of the time the restaurant I reserve through Opentable honors my reservation time. This was not the case at Ruth's Chris. We waited until 7:20 PM before being seated for a 7 PM reservation. I think for a dinner that costs upwards of $75 a person that the venue would recognize my time is important.Special Features:
- Consistently GoodQCommVIPDined on 4/25/2014We are always well taken care of here….service is a 10. I wish they offered dry aged beef, and more interesting sides. Food is always well prepared.
- Great service, OK foodJudyDDined on 4/23/2014This was my second visit to Ruth's Chris. First, the service is impeccable. You will be well taken care of from the moment you walk in. We ordered the filet mignon and the ribeye. My guest loved the filet, but the ribeye was no better than one I could have made at home on my grill. Certainly not worth the high price. We also ordered masked potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus was good but the mashed potatoes were a bit thin. We ended with the Chocolate Explosion which is fantastic. Plan to valet park as free parking is scarce.Special Features:

ST. LOUIS – This week, the more than 22,000 farmer members of the American Soybean Association (ASA) will receive their premiere issues of American Soybean , a new quarterly magazine from ASA designed to explore the on-farm impacts of the policy, production and marketing issues that affect producer profitablility.
The first edition of the magazine will focus on the hot-button issue of sustainability, and the cover story will explore how three geographically-diverse farmers keep their farms sustainable for future generations.
The issue also features details about the soy industry's Sustainability Assurance Protocol; a profile of the Hagenbuchs, a fourth-generation Illinois farm family; an update on the benefits of soy-based biodiesel in the nation's ongoing energy discussion; a look at how various industry corporate partners are helping soybean farmers be both sustainable and profitable; and a guest editorial from farmer and philanthropist Howard Buffett challenging farmers to use the tools at their disposal to create a "brown revolution."
"As farmers, we have so much to gain by looking beyond our fenceposts and examining how our counterparts in other regions tackle our shared challenges as well as those challenges unique to their areas. This is very much the case with sustainability, an important and timely topic with likely as many definitions as there are farmers to define it," said ASA President Danny Murphy, a soybean farmer from Canton, Miss. "American Soybean will help our farmer members from across the country learn from one another and see how the industry as a whole can move forward in addressing the challenges we face."

Not sure what to expect? Check out the video from last year's madness. TGW is the premier travel company for Carnival Travel Packages to Salvador, Bahia. Apart from access to Carnival's hottest parties, we provide 24/7 on-site staff, TGW guides at the parties, air, accommodation and much more so that you have a no-hassle experience. Our packages are the best in the industry!
Carnival in Salvador, Bahia – Carnival in Bahia is one of the best in Brazil. Millions of people hit the streets to celebrate the biggest party in the world. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this is the biggest street party in the world. Everyone who's ever gone to Salvador for Carnival has stories of partying, meeting people and leaving the party just to return to the party later for another round and it goes on all night long for 5 days. So, prepare yourself to get some rest during the day so you can be in the streets all night long. If you like humungous street parties, Salvador, Bahia is the place you want to be. It's a crowd participation party as parades of live bands on big tall floats with powerful sound systems roll through the city and endless crowds of partiers follow along dancing and drinking until the point of passing out. TGW already includes these parties in your package!!!
What's the difference between Carnival in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro?
Most Brazilians feel that Carnival in Salvador is Brazil's craziest Carnival. The biggest difference between the main events in Salvador and Rio is that the Samba Parade in Rio is more of a show that you sit and watch and Salvador takes its parties to the streets. In recent years, Rio de Janeiro has incorporated the street blocos to its events, but they are not as organized as Salvador and are free for everyone vs. Salvador, which you need to purchase your entrance into the street parties. Below you will see an explanation of the parties.
Is this El Salvador in Central America?
NO!! Salvador is a city in the Northeast of Brazil. It is called Salvador, Bahia – not El Salvador in Central America. The city is located about 900 miles from Rio and is a historic coastal city with a population of about 1 million residents.
What are the parties like in Salvador?
Parties in Salvador are all Street Parties with thousands of people going wild in moveable parties called "blocos". and Camarotes. These blocos feature some of Brazil's hottest bands and stars singing live on top of huge trucks inside the blocos. (some artists in recent years have been Shakira, as well as U2!!!) The second type of parties are called "Camarotes." Camarotes are grandstand parties similar to clubs that overlook the blocos along the parade routes.
Why is Carnival in Salvador much more expensive than Rio? Aren't the street parties free in Salvador?
No!! In Salvador, you must purchase tickets or party shirts known as "abadas" in order to attend any party. Street parties are roped off by security and you must purchase the abadas (included in our package) in order to gain entry. Abadas range in cost from USD$50 per shirt all the way to over USD$500 per shirt per person per night!!! (you can see people on our site wearing the colorful tank tops/abadas ). Abadas are in very high demand and are very difficult to purchase. TGW purchases all abadas about 10 months in advance of Carnival every year!!!
What quality level of abadas (parties) do you offer?
Our Carnival package offers an EXCELLENT level of abadas (ranges between 200 and 500 dollars) for some of the best parties Carnival in Salvador has to offer. Remember, the better the party, the more upscale the crowd, the better the band, and the safer the bloco!!
What is Carnival like in Rio de Janeiro?
Carnival in Rio is basically watching the samba schools parade at a place called the Sambodromo. Samba schools feature people in costumes and parade floats and samba music. The spectacle is very cool, but it is really something that people only go watch one night and not something that you can typically participate in unlike Salvador.
Do you offer packages to Rio during Carnival?
Of course, we offer packages to Rio de Janeiro for Carnival. We also consider Carnival in Rio as one of the best parties in the world, but we always aim to provide our clients with the most fun & local experience. This is why we offer the two best Carnivals in Brazil.
What if I am from overseas? What can be done about the flights?
If you are coming from overseas, we can either sell you a "LAND ONLY" package, which includes everything but the airfare or sell you the complete itinerary from your respective city as we can sell airfare from all over the world.
Do I have to book everything right now and pay in full?
No. Typically you need about 40 – 60 percent of the package to book and we can spread the remaining payments until November or December. If you wait until, November or December, we may be able to split the payments in two, but it isn't guaranteed.
What kinds of services/assistance does TGW offer while in Carnival?
TGW offers 24 hour assistance to all clients on our trips. We have 1 staff bilingual (Portuguese/English) staff member for every 10 people on the trip. Staff members are always highly visible and available inside all street parties/clubs/camarotes and are there to assist you in any way (translating, emergencies…. anything!!!) This is especially important in Salvador as there are very little non-Brazilian tourists and English is not widely spoken by any means!!!
What is the Carnival group like every year? (size/ages/sex/nationality,etc?)
Our group varies each year between 50 and 100 people. As far as composition of the group, typically our clients are between 20 and 45 years old. We have even had party animals in their 80s!!! The group is a mix of guys, girls, couples and are from all over the country. We also have many repeat clients and clients from Canada, Australia and other countries all over the world!!
I am traveling alone. Can you find me a roommate?
Yes. Every year we have about 20 people that travel alone that are looking for a roommate so they do not have to pay the single price. If you are interested in finding a roommate please contact us and we can provide you a list of potential roommates. Email us if you need a roommate!
All of the accommodations offered on our site have been personally inspected by TGW to uphold the utmost quality standards of our travelers. We base our selection on Service, Cleanliness, and Location. TGW offers 5 star, 4 star, & 3 star accommodations.

▶ Congress and the Pentagon began work on the politically touchy subject of closing unnecessary U.S. military bases, with no agreement on which bases to leave on or off the closure list. Congressman David O. B. Martin gave a strong sense of the role current political reality may play in the future of Plattsburgh Air Force Base: "I could not support this base, or any base, as an avenue of economic opportunity. Too often people think the purpose of having the military in and about them is to have economic opportunity."
▶ The Peru Teachers Association and the Peru School District have agreed in principle on a new, three-year teacher contract scheduled to take effect in 1988. The agreement will raise the starting salary for Peru teachers from the current $16,410 to $23,850 over the life of the contract.
▶ Loggers and dairyman will be granted some relief by the Department of Transportation, when the weight limit on the Crown Point bridge is raised from 20 to 36 tons, with the stipulated limit of 8 tons per axle. The DOT had restricted the aging structure last year when the state took over operations of the former toll bridge.
▶ Construction on the Mirror Lake Inn in Lake Placid is in full swing, and the owner predicts that the facility, when complete, will be better than ever. Much of the inn was destroyed by a fire in January that consumed 12 rooms, a restaurant and office space.
▶ The city's municipal beach officially opens Saturday amid charges of mismanagement and unsatisfactory conditions. As city officials prepare to open the beach for the the long Memorial Day weekend, a city aldermen called existing beach facilities and services "deplorable."
▶ Clinton County is going to take the state's suggestion and explore the idea of a new county home infirmary. The need for additional infirmary facilities was strongly illustrated in a presentation to the County Board of Supervisors recently, but the state has inquired if the county is willing to follow through on payment for a new facility.
