This was probably the least exciting day so far. No offense to our wonderful plumber. He did a great job and is super nice, but there is just not as much visual gratification when it comes to laying down water and sewer pipes. Next up is the concrete foundation and floor, so maybe that will feel more like a party.

This is an excerpt from a full interview I did awhile back on the Made in K-town blog. It shares some of my story of crocheting to heal.
"You can actually read my whole mini-memoir of depression and how crochet helped with it in my book, Uncinetto salvato la mia vita, so I'll spare you the details here and just say this … During my lowest low period of depression there were times when I could not get out of bed, when I could not stop crying, when I could not find a shred of self-esteem anywhere in my whirling, reeling mind. I kept grasping at activities that would take my mind off of itself and eventually remembered that I once knew how to crochet. I re-taught myself, mostly using kids' crochet books, and I fell in love.I fell in love with the craft. I fell in love with life again. I learned to love myself.The rhythmic act of crocheting helped me to calm down, reduce my anxiety, and quell the constant crying that came with depression. (Full disclosure – I also started seeing a therapist at this time and engaging in other self-care so it wasn't crochet alone that changed my life but it did play a huge part). The process of visualizing and completing a project helped me to see that I could achieve things again in my life, aiding in rebuilding my self-esteem. The tactile sensations of working with soft, colorful yarn helped bring beauty back into my life. I hooked myself to healing."

The recent collapse of part of a river wall along the Eel River has Logansport considering costs, regulations and responsibilities regarding how it will address and prevent possible collapses in the future.
The most recent problem the river wall along the Eel River was in January at a shared garage at 207 and 211 E. Linden Ave. Part of the garage was built on top of the mortar river wall and when the wall collapsed, it took part of the garage and much of its contents down with it.
The Department of Public Works and Safety has considered several solutions to the problem at the shared garage, including pouring a new concrete wall, installing a wall made from steel sheeting and simply sloping the earth back to the property before applying seed and mulch.
Bill Drinkwine, Logansport building commissioner, said he has been in contact with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on how to go about addressing the situation.
Andrew Roberts, a regulatory specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Louisville District, whose jurisdiction area includes Logansport, said his department works with cities on projects like this to ensure regulations are met.
"Typically we regulate the discharge of dredge or fill material into waters," Roberts said. "Anything that may affect the waterways in the U.S., they definitely need to give us a call."
Roberts said the corps reviews finalized projects to determine what kind of permitting would be necessary, adding that permitting may also be required by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
Drinkwine recommended installing concrete blocks in a stair-step fashion from the riverbank back to the property to stabilize the slope, saying it was the most economical and efficient. The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety endorsed Drinkwine's recommendation at a recent meeting.
Another issue facing the city is how the project and possible future ones are going to be paid for. Drinkwine estimated the stair-step solution on East Linden Avenue to cost between $7,500 and $8,000. He said the bill would be split between the two owners sharing the garage. If they were unable to pay, a tax lien would be applied to the property.
The property at 207 E. Linden Ave. is owned by Jeff Murray and the one at 211 is owned by Russell Alder. Drinkwine said Alder's insurance policy does not cover auxiliary structures like the garage. He has not yet gotten in touch with Murray, whom the city has repeatedly tried to contact regarding problems with several of his properties in town.
Drinkwine said he's concerned about financial aspects of the river wall in the future as well.
"I'm a little concerned about establishing a precedent for repairing the river headwall as a burden to the city," Drinkwine said, adding that he's discovered there are riverside plats in town that define ownership as being up to the river wall, suggesting the wall itself would be the city's responsibility.
Drinkwine said he is currently working to define how the city should go about addressing the walls in the future.
"We're going to have to develop a plan," Drinkwine said. "It's something that we're going to continue to investigate and work with, utilizing the Army Corps of Engineers' information as well as what we can pull together and come up with a recommendation on how we handle these walls in the future."

Tulsa Police are searching for two suspects who robbed an East Tulsa restaurant at gunpoint, late Sunday Night.
It happened at the Taco Bueno in the 6500 block of East 21st Street South.
Tulsa Police Sergeant Darren Bristow tells KTUL.com, around 9:50pm as employees were closing up for the evening, two men wearing all black entered the restaurant and pointed a pair of black semi-automatic handguns at the three employees.
Bristow says the suspect then split the employees up. One suspect took two employees to the back of the restaurant while the other employee was held at gunpoint and ordered to empty the register.
The suspects ordered all three employees into the back of the restaurant and told them to "wait ten minutes" and then call police.
The suspects then fled the restaurant in an unknown direction with an indeterminate amount of cash in hand.
Bristow says the employees were obviously shaken up by the ordeal. Investigators are examining the stores security cameras for evidence.
Police ask if anyone has information on this case that might lead to an arrest, call Tulsa Police Crimestoppers at (918) 596-COPS (9677).
Look for more on this story later on-air on Tulsa's Channel 8 and on-line at KTUL.com.

With no guarantees that veteran free-agent addition Joey Porter can go full tilt the entire season at right outside linebacker at the age of 33, the Cardinals would love for one of the team's younger outside 'backers to step up and make an impact. Our sources in the desert tell us second-year OLB Cody Brown, a second-round pick in 2009 who suffered a season-ending left wrist injury in training camp last year, just might fill the bill. "(Head coach Ken) Whisenhunt has liked what he's seen (of Brown), no doubt about it," said one team insider. "He has shown a lot of athletic ability." As for Porter, who appears to be in excellent shape, we're told the team is being careful not to overwork him. "He's playing a little leaner and looks solid, although (new OLT) Levi Brown has done well against him in pass-protection drills," the insider said. "Off the field, he has fit in well and become friends with a lot of the guys."

Even though Johnny Jolly led Green Bay defensive linemen with 39 tackles in 2009 and was a key cog in the league's top-ranked run defense, we're told the team is confident it has what it takes to overcome his indefinite suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. By all indications, it would appear the Packers were preparing for the worst as far as back as late April, when they selected DE Mike Neal in the second round. More hints came in mid-May when eyebrows were raised with the announcement that 2009 first-round draft pick B.J. Raji was being inserted into the starting lineup at nose tackle, with veteran Ryan Pickett, who signed a four-year, $28 million contract extension, shifting to Jolly's starting DLE spot. With Neal, seventh-round rookie C.J. Wilson and former first-rounder Justin Harrell, who is saying he has never felt healthier, also in the mix, the consensus is that the Packers believe they have have more than enough manpower to compensate for Jolly's departure.

Voting Machine Vendors Spend Big Bucks in NY
Dec 21, 2004 — 2005 will be the year the controversial debate over electronic voting machines comes to New York. Under the federal Help America Vote Act, New York has to replace its old lever-action voting machines in time for the 2006 elections. New York is expected to receive $100 million to help buy the new machines. Companies that make them are spending lots of money to get noticed in Albany. According to a report released yesterday by Common Cause New York, voting machine vendors spent more than $850,000 lobbying on bills pending in the state legislature. David Sommerstein spoke with Rachel Leon, Common Cause New York's executive director. She says among the top spenders are nationally-known companies. Go to full article
Election Night on Patrol in Baghdad
Nov 22, 2004 — While the country was glued to the radio or TV on election night earlier this month, thousands of American soldiers stationed in Iraq were going about their regular duties. Among them was Corporal Bill Putnam, a photojournalist with the Army's 122nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment. I met Putnam when I reported from Kosovo in 2002. He's been sending me audio diaries of his experiences in Iraq. On election night, Putnam was on patrol in the Abu Dasheer neighborhood of Baghdad. Go to full article
Red Meets Blue: Productive Polarization In America
by Martha Foley
Nov 22, 2004 — Maps of America after Election Day showed a country divided along regional, and many say, ideological, lines. But division and polarization aren't necessarily bad, according to Potsdam political scientist Phil Neisser. Neisser is in the middle of a book about disagreement. He traces its historical causes, and addresses what's happening now: anger, polarization and fear, but also a new movement toward dialog. He told Martha Foley his working title is "Disagreement in America, and Why We Need More Of It". Go to full article
Kerry's Defeat Humbling For Region's Peace Activists
by Brian Mann
Nov 12, 2004 — In the final weeks of the presidential campaign, Senator John Kerry expressed deep doubts about the war in Iraq. The anti-war movement -- including groups here in the north country -- rallied to support the Democrat. But their effort to defeat President George Bush failed. Though he lost in New York state and Vermont, President Bush won both the nation's popular vote and the electoral college. Polls show that, for many Americans, terrorism and moral values outweighed concerns about the war in Iraq. Many peace activists say last week's vote was devastating. As North Country Public Radio's Brian Mann reports, organizers here in the region are now looking to pick up the pieces. Go to full article

Nov 09, 2004 — Election officials in Clinton and Franklin counties are still counting absentee ballots in the 114th district Assembly race. The margin between incumbent Republican Chris Ortloff and Democratic challenger Bernie Bassett has tightened to fewer than 1700 votes. Roughly roughly four thousand ballots remain to be counted. Bassett says he hopes he'll pull ahead and will wait until the vote is certified next week. Ortloff is already back in Albany and says he's confident that he'll be re-elected.

Defining "Moral Values"
Nov 09, 2004 — The pivotal role of so-called 'moral values' in the presidential election has sparked a national debate on what the term means. Over the weekend, Karl Rove, President Bush's senior political adviser, said on Fox News it gives the President a mandate to ban marriage of same-sex couples nationwide. Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean told a Dartmouth College crowd Sunday that Democrats must do a better job at "sticking to their own values" rather than becoming more conservative.

Reform Groups Hold Lawmakers to Their Promises
by Karen DeWitt
Nov 05, 2004 — Now that most of the legislature has been safely re-elected to another two-year term, many are wondering whether the reform agenda that many Senators and Assembly members campaigned on will actually become law. One majority party legislative leader is pledging commitment to change, and reform groups say they'll hold him and other lawmakers to their promises. Karen DeWitt reports. Go to full article

Authorities are working on ways to combat crime on the campus of Clark Atlanta University. A robbery targeting two students was the fourth similar crime on the campus this fall, FOX 5 has learned.In the most recent case, four armed men surrounded two female students and threatened to shoot them on Monday.One student told FOX 5's Morse Diggs that she has three friends that have been robbed on campus. "It just seems to be a reoccurring problem without any solution," she said. "It seems as though they're trying to blame the students for what's happening. I had a security tell me…that we need to learn that we can't be out at that time of night. It was 10:30 p.m."Maj. Timothy Quiller of the Atlanta Police Department is the city zone commander. He sat down with campus police on Wednesday to discuss strategy to combat the crime."The toughest thing is securing an urban campus because you have so many open streets out here," said Quiller. Clark Atlanta University Police Chief Thomas Trawick said there are multiple ways of entering and exiting the campus. He said that campus safety is a priority, but said that he thought crime could get worse over the short term. Trawick said the cold weather means that people will be wearing more clothing, giving them more places to conceal weapons. Police urge students to be aware of their surroundings and contact authorities if they see something or someone that looks out of place.Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell said that the campus needs to have a full-scale shuttle service around the colleges, such as the one at Georgia Tech. That would allow students leaving the library to be transported from point to point.

You'd think the great auteurs would be safe from remakes -- it's hard to imagine someone taking on a Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Terrence Malick or David Lynch film, for example. But that hasn't stopped Hollywood from remaking everything from "The Haunting" to "Psycho." Studio heads figure the lazy new generation doesn't know the classics. And marketers want to cash in on easy-sell branded titles and fan followings -- it's the way it works. But more often than not, when less-than-great movies get remade into even less great "reboots" like 2012's "Total Recall," they flop with audiences anyway. And when the great ones get remade, like Federico Fellini's "8½," even canny movie stars like Daniel Day-Lewis and Marion Cotillard can't save them.
While we don't want any movies to be remade, here are eight films to begin our official Please Do Not Even Try list.
PLEASE DO NOT EVEN TRY: Films That Should Never Be Remade
"The Deer Hunter" (1979), Dir. Michael Cimino, Wr. Cimino, Deric Washburn
This devastating, viscerally disturbing film was a profound expression of the Vietnam era. Recreating its effect be impossible -- despite still relevant themes -- and compiling a cast of such high caliber would also be a challenge (of course they were less established then): Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, John Savage, John Cazale…where would you start to replace them? The film won five Oscars: Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, Sound and Editing. A year later, Francis Ford Coppola's equally provocative Vietnam film "Apocalypse Now" -- which should also never be remade -- won two.
"The Goonies" (1985), Dir. Richard Donner, Wr. Steven Spielberg
The 80s are long behind us, as are the halcyon days of imagination and boredom. Thanks, technology. Recapturing this Steven Spielberg classic in our modern era is impossible, so those who would dare to try would end up embarrassed and nostalgic at best. On the other hand, J.J. Abrams did a pretty good job with "Super 8."
"Die Hard" (1988), Dir. John McTiernan, Wr. Roderick Thorp (novel), Jeb Stuart, Steven E. de Souza
It's quite possible that Bruce Willis has no intention of ending his days as John McClane. We're safe for now. But sooner or later someone is going to think "reboot" and a replacement will be sought to take over the yippee ki-yay mother-fucking franchise. A wise idea? No. But even Paul Thomas Anderson would've liked a shot at directing the original.
"Thelma & Louise" (1991), Dir. Ridley Scott, Wr. Callie Khouri
It's hard to imagine this film without Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald and Brad Pitt or director Ridley Scott. It could have come together entirely differently back in development stages, and thank god it didn't. (Producer Scott realized that all the directors wanted to "soften" the inherent feminism of the piece. So he decided to do it himself.) To have this movie any other way, set in any other era, with different music and landscapes, would be a cinematic abomination. (On the other hand, you'd think we'd have come farther than we have. Its theme, shockingly, is still relevant.) (Khouri, David and producer Mimi Polk Gitlin celebrated the film's 20th anniversary at the Academy.)
Next: "The Silence of the Lambs"...
Jenny | September 17, 2013 6:41 PM
The Back to the Future trilogy should be on here.
regista | February 4, 2013 5:31 PM
Films, good or bad, are like plays. Have you ever heard of Shakespeare or Ibsen not being remade? Stories have been retold since the dawn of time, but today, more than ever before, with films we have a technological conundrum. Have you ever tried to show a 12 year old the classics? They just won't get past the black and white, or the slow set up, or the bad "effects". Great stories should be preserved in eternity EXACTLY by being remade, no matter how many times, by future generations. The only reason why we even KNOW a lot of great stories and myths, is that they were endlessly retold by people. Whoever compiled this list thinks that everyone is a film buff or a die-hard cinephile, when clearly 99,9% of the public is not. They'll never see the movies on this list. They'll keep seeing bad movies, if we don't remake the good ones.
Ralph Hartman | December 28, 2012 8:51 PM
E.T. should be on this list.
Brian | December 28, 2012 3:26 PM
I for one would welcome remakes of DIE HARD and THELMA AND LOUISE if there was a whole new approach to the subjects. I think both stories can be told in different ways, DIE HARD just as effectively as the original, THELMA AND LOUISE more effectively (i.e. more realistic and not such a delusional feminist fantasy and with a more believable ending where they get caught and take their lumps, like 99% of criminals).
Roy Munson | December 27, 2012 8:56 PM
Hey, Deer Hunter trailer -- THANKS FOR COMPLETELY RUINING THE END OF THE MOVIE!
clinique | December 27, 2012 6:15 PM
Showgirls should be added to this list.
Keith | December 27, 2012 6:07 PM
Oops. Make that "...nothing to DESTROY the original...".
Keith | December 27, 2012 6:05 PM
"great works should stay intact"
Which they will. Someone doing a new version of "Thelma and Louise" or "The Silence of the Lambs" does nothing to destory the original, which is why a "never remake" list is such a silly and snobby exercise to begin with.
brace | December 27, 2012 6:02 PM
no great movie should ever be remade.only movies that had the potential (like good story,idea,characters...) but something went wrong (wrong director,casting,timing...) should be remade. great works should stay intact, especially the movies made from the original script.
Nato | December 27, 2012 5:55 PM
and don't even think about touching "The Crow" !!! Having anyone else playing Eric Draven would be like Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher...
Migilicuty11 | December 27, 2012 5:34 PM
Taxi Driver should be on this list.

Groundsman praised after care home garden in Dursley wins national award
8:50am Sunday 29th July 2012 in News By Liza-Jane Gillespie
A GARDEN that encourages the elderly of Dursley to get out and about has scooped a national award.
Henlow Court Care Home has been given the award for best gardens and grounds by the Orders of St John Care Trust, which runs the home.
Henlow Court beat off competition from 79 other care homes from within the Trust to take the national accolade after winning the regional award for the best gardens and grounds for Gloucestershire.
However, Henlow Court's success is being put down to the hard work of one man, John Ashforth, 65, who has been groundsman at the home for the past five years.
He said: "The grounds have been a long story. Over five years I've brought them back from the wilderness.
"It has been a lot of work and a lot of fundraising as well - because we are a charitable trust the money isn't so readily available."
During the past five years, with the help of volunteer Kevin Nash, John has created a sensory garden for the residents at Henlow Court with water features and an aviary.
Residents have also been encouraged to get involved and have helped with some of the planting.
Despite being retirement age John said he plans to keep gardening for a few more years yet.
He said: "I could have retired last month but I'm going on for a couple more years because I enjoy it so much."

GROTON -- Selectmen chose Robert Hart, Acton's deputy fire chief, as Groton's new fire chief Monday night.
The board's unanimous appointment, pending a successful contractual negotiation and background check, came after a split-straw vote for two finalists, Hart and Steele McCurdy, deputy fire chief for Littleton. Selectmen Joshua Degen, Anna Eliot and Jack Petropoulos favored Hart while Selectmen Peter Cunningham and Stuart Schulman favored McCurdy. Both Cunningham and Schulman said, however, that they had no problem going with the majority's choice because both finalists were well-qualified.
A few selectmen mentioned that the interview process that involved a day-long exercise based on realistic scenarios helped them make decisions. Degen said the exercise showed style differences between the candidates in how they would handle personnel issues.
During the Monday night meeting, selectmen also formed the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Working Group Committee. Seven members will serve, including representatives from the School Committee, Conservation Committee, the Groton Electric Light Department, the Board of Selectmen and two yet-to-be-appointed at-large members.
Selectmen have scheduled a Special Town Meeting for Monday, June 30, to vote on a non-binding resolution that will state the town's position on the Tennessee Gas Pipeline's natural-gas pipeline that will involve a part of Groton.
Selectmen made several committee appointments, including the reappointment of Bruce Easom to the Conservation Commission. Degen opposed Easom's reappointment, saying Easom had accused Town Manager Mark Haddad of "being corrupt" regarding a proposed wetland swap for the Boynton Meadows mixed-use development on Main Street during Town Meeting three years ago.
But Eliot said she believed Degen's remarks stemmed from a personal agenda and the board needed to stick to the merits of appointment. Cunningham, in the meantime, said he was concerned about reappointing Easom to the Conservation Commission because Easom was recently elected to the Groton Electric Light Commission and there could be a conflict of interest.
The board voted 3-2 to confirm Easom's reappointment to the Conservation Commission with Degen and Cunningham voting against it.

Texians - What I learned from Texas History
Once upon a time in Texas (which is how all good stories should begin) a group of Texians (I don't know when we ditched the "i" but we are the better for it) at the beginning of the Texas Revolution faced a difficult decision, return their cannon to the Mexican government or fight to the death to keep it.
Our boy, Stephen F. Austin (Hurrah!), took a vote among the settlers. (Love that he did this. "Y'all willin' to die? Yup? Alright then.) They said, "We're not giving the cannon back. They'll have to come and get it." Just to prove that they were serious, they made this flag
It wasn't much of a battle, the Texians won. The Mexicans eventually got the cannon back at The Alamo (We think. No one knows for certain.)
That's not really the point anyway. I just keep wondering about what kind of men decide "By golly, they're not taking this from us," and are willing to back it up with their lives. (The Mexican Army didn't take prisoners, y'all. There were 2 choices, win or die.)
They were the same kind of men who looked out of the mission at Goliad and saw the approaching Mexican Army, did a quick head count and knew they were toast. 100+ settlers against over 1000 seasoned soldiers? You would think they'd have slipped out in the night. They didn't. They grabbed hold of some red paint and made this little beauty:
There's something odd in going to the memorials of famous (or not so famous in the cases of Gonzales and Goliad) battlegrounds. They are quite simply old buildings and grass. If not for the signs and displays, there would be no way of knowing what was done on those spots. There would be no record of the incredible bravery of those men.
And, by gum, they were men. (None of this crazy metro-sexual stuff going on at The Alamo, I can promise you that!)
I'd like to think that this kind of man still exists today. I hope even more that my boys are that kind. I hope for my sons to be men of conviction, to stand up for freedom and right. I want them to be willing to call evil by its name and not be ashamed of the consequences that come from it. I want them to be willing to die for what they know to be true. I want them to be prepared for martyrdom even as I pray they never are asked to pay that price.
I want them to be strong, proud, and a little bit salty. I want my sons to be men like Davy Crockett who told his detractors "You may all go to Hell. I'm going to Texas." How do I raise boys like that?
How do we go about teaching our boys that sometimes you have to charge Hell with a bucket of water and the Devil take the consequences?
How do we make them fearless in a world of over-protection?
I suppose it begins with them on their knees. They'll have to start out there or they'll never have the strength to stand.

You so put into words what I was thinking recently when we read the history of the Alamo (and we're from the Midwest). And well we're at it, the whole American Revolution. Those men. To care enough to die for something. I almost cry when I read my daughter's history book. It's both sad and incredibly, tearfully beautiful. I know there's people like this still -- but certainly not as many. I'm glad to hear someone share my sentiments.

Brilliant. I keep thinking of Joshua at the wall of Jericho...
And I think you raise boys like that by wanting to raise boys like that. And by having great male role models, and by lots and lots of prayer.
I also can't help comparing this to HHS, for all of us who are people of faith. I wanna say something like - want our religious freedom? Come and take it.
- May 1, 2012 at 11:17 AM
The "come and take it" cannon is housed at the Gonzales Memorial Museum and it is thought to be the original cannon. There was a come and take it flag that flew at the Alamo and that was taken by Mexico and they still have it.

I lived in Seguin for 15 years, just a little West of Gonzales. When I bought my very first home, my friends at the local flag company asked if I wanted a flag to fly.
The Gonazales flag was the flag I got and flew proudly.

This reminds me of a quote by Emiliano Zapata: "I would rather die standing on my feet than continue living on my knees." I don't know anything about this guy, but my grandpa (a Texan), had a plaque with this saying on his front porch.

Fun route, reasonably sustained, good variety of moves and holds, a little spiciness but well protected. The usual Munchkinland stuff, but better than average quality. Pay attention up high so you don't go the wrong way.(Watch for prints left by the Chalk Monster).
First route right of the curved tree. Directly in front of the tree is "Who's Your Wizard" which has brown hangars. "Munchkinland" is just to the right.

BPA Post-2011 Energy Efficiency
On January 12, 2011, a cover letter from Energy Efficiency VP, Mike Weedall, was issued to announce the release of the "Energy Efficiency Post-2011 Implementation Proposal" and the opening of the Phase 2 public comment period. All BPA customers and regional stakeholders were encouraged to submit comments on the Implementation Proposal by February 14, 2011. Submitted comments are available.
On March 31, 2011, Energy Efficiency VP, Mike Weedall, issued a cover letter to announce the conclusion of the Energy Efficiency Post-2011 Public Process. Accompanying the cover letter were three documents, which together mark the closeout of Phase 2 of the public process: 1) the Phase 2 "Response to Public Comment"; 2) the "Energy Efficiency Post-2011 Implementation Program"; and, 3) a redlined version of the "Implementation Proposal." As of April 1, 2011, the "Implementation Manual" will be updated giving six months of notice before the program details contained in the "Implementation Program" take effect on October 1, 2011. BPA appreciates the time and work that many customers and stakeholders devoted to the Post-2011 Public Process.
The Pacific Northwest has been a national leader in energy efficiency for more than 30 years. This status did not happen by accident; it is the result of proactive and aggressive efforts by the entire region, including the Bonneville Power Administration, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, utilities, and numerous policy leaders all working together. Building upon these robust energy efficiency efforts is even more important today as we implement tiered rates, prepare for climate change impacts and focus on energy independence.
Since January 2009, BPA has conducted the Energy Efficiency Post-2011 public process, consisting of two phases, to develop a framework to facilitate the continued successful development and acquisition of energy efficiency in the Northwest at the lowest cost to the region. Phase 1 of this collaborative public process generated a robust dialogue about the framework's needs and constraints. Through a variety of forums, BPA encouraged the participation of all stakeholders in the region to help shape this framework.
Using information gathered in Phase 1, BPA drafted a proposed framework to define the agency's future role in meeting public power's share of the conservation target set out in the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's latest Power Plan. BPA sought public comment on this proposal and held public meetings around the region to gather stakeholders' input. These public comments have contributed to the updated Energy Efficiency Post-2011 Policy Framework. With a new energy efficiency framework from Phase 1, the focus of Phase 2 is on the specifics of policy and implementation.
Phase 2 began with a public meeting on July 7, 2010. Five workgroups were formed to provide recommendations to BPA on the implementation of energy efficiency programs for the post-2011 time period. The Recommendations of the Workgroups are now available. BPA will take these recommendations into consideration and then make a proposal available for public comment. The recommendations and public comments will provide guidance to BPA on program implementation for the post-2011 time period.

No one wants to live near a dilapidated house with overgrown weeds and garbage dumped in the yard. But that's what residents of Denson Avenue in west Jackson have been dealing with for several years now; and after repeated calls to the city produced no results, they called 3 On Your Side for help taking back their neighborhoods.
Kendra Collier was born and raised on Denson Avenue. Now, 25-years-old with a family of her own, Collier is concerned about the health of her neighborhood.
Asked if the problems had been this bad before, Collier said, "No, it actually got this bad a couple of years ago."
That's when the tenants of a house on Denson near Jackson Highway, were evicted and when no one else moved in...well, you know the story.
Collier said, "People outside the resident started just dumping their furniture and then people would come there, drive by and just throwing stuff out like it's just a dump hole."
There are even neatly stacked piles of lumber someone deposited; debris cleared from other property.
A house on the corner of Jackson Highway and Denson Avenue was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina. It's been in that condition every since and if it ever caught fire, Jackson firefighters would have a tough time putting out the blaze because the hydrant is hidden behind weeds.
Even more frustrating for Collier, she says, is the lack of response she got from calling the Mayor's Action Line.
Collier continued, "And they didn't do nothing about; didn't nobody come look at it or anything, so I was like, if I call 3 On Your Side, I know they get stuff done."
Collier fears for the safety of her children and other kids in the neighborhood, not only because of the eyesore property, but huge holes in the street. A city marker has steered cars away from one for more than a year now, said Collier.
She said, "It makes me feel bad because it feels like they have no respect for our neighborhood and I feel like if they don't have no respect for our neighborhood, they don't have no respect for us as residents living in this neighborhoods."
Help may be on the way now. I contacted Quita Bride, public information officer for the City of Jackson.
She told me, in part: "On March 28, 2012, the City of Jackson opened numerous grass and weeds and board up cases on lots and properties located on Denson Avenue. The owners and all related parties have been identified and will be given notice of all cited code violations. If the violations are not corrected within 15 days, an administrative hearing date will be set for the owners and related parties."
We will keep you posted.
Let us help you take back your neighborhood. Just send an email to email@example.com or contact me on Facebook or Twitter.

For many Minnesotans, spring is a time of renewal, and at the Minnesota Zoo, spring is the time for animal babies. The Minnesota Zoo welcomed a male Bactrian camel calf on March 12. He is now on exhibit on the Northern Trail.
A birth weight of 120 pounds, the nameless calf was kept in private as his mother tended to him to ensure he was healthy. Camels typically gain two pounds per day, and the calf will reach adult size (1600-1800 pounds, eight feet tall) in three to four years.

The headline before the other headline almost makes it seem like this was going to be a negative post. Understandable, given that nearly every article written about the team and money in the aftermath of the Detroit series has been some sarcastic take on the Yankees getting what they paid for. Pay Alex Rodriguez to sit on the bench. Pay CC Sabathia to blow up in an elimination game. Great investments! What other ridiculous headlines can we come up with?
Stop the sanity! Low-key Yankees have become boring
Over-indulged fans, high prices sucked life out of Yankee Stadium
Wake up the echoes: If Notre Dame can revive the ghosts, why can't the Yankees?
Yankees, YES look to shake rust from tarnished brand
Three of those are actual headlines from various New York tabloids and one is my own attempt at being a headline monger. It's admittedly a poor attempt, but really, they all are. Not that they aren't effective, because they would probably go away if they weren't, but they're just poor in general. Now consider that someone gets paid to come up with these headlines and back pages. That is someone's job. Haha life.
No shameless, attention grabbing headline for the sake of it, though. The Yankees did get what they paid for this year; a really good team that won a lot of games and fell a series shy of playing for a championship. That, and usually more, is expected given the payroll, but 29 teams go home without a championship every year. The payroll advantage certainly gives them the inside track, and even still, there's no model guaranteed to work. The Yankees and their roster of highly-paid mashers end up in the same position as a Cardinals team lauded for their great organizational building and timely contributions from the Pete Kozmas and Daniel Descalsos of the world. While those things about the Cardinals are true, nothing is certain to get a team a title, no matter how they build.
Getting what you paid for is all a matter of how much value you put in something. Value is equally as subjective, especially in baseball, since there's no real consensus on what should be valued. Some teams will favor a player like Kozma based his contract and a few big hits in key moments. Others, probably in the majority, will favor an A-Rod based on him unquestionably being a better player, despite the contract.
Fangraphs does its best to attribute value, making one win by fWAR worth roughly four-point-five million dollars. Again, subjective all the way based on stock put into WAR, or even which church of WAR you belong to. It could be argued that despite some mid-season struggles, Yu Darvish and his 5.1 fWAR (~$22.9 million) has been worth over 40 percent of his six-year contract in year one. One could also harp on the exact opposite. It's all about perspective. Taken from the perspective of 'win as much as you can in the regular season and go from there', the Yankees more than returned the investment made in them.
(Cot's Contracts and Fangraphs)
It isn't perfect by any means, but the value and differences with both hitters and pitchers is kind of baseball in a nutshell. There are great over-performers, great under-performers, players who can't live up to their contract even with a great season and players who more than live up to their deal despite a somewhat down year. There are role players having bounce back years on the cheap, bad players with bad years doing enough to justify what they make and everything in between. It's exactly how baseball works over the course of the year, and on a smaller scale, each and every day.
With A-Rod injured and failing to play up to an impossible contract, Cano stepped up and had a monster year, making up the difference. Without a highly valuable fielder in Brett Gardner, Ibanez, Ichiro and Jones (to a much lesser extent) kept things from being a complete mess. Soriano makes far more than a reliever ever should, but elite production from a Robertson and his moderate contract balances it out. Some of the individuals underwhelmed, but as a group, as a team, they were worth it. When one dropped, another stepped up in their place. And that's just from the guys who could play. Even with Mariano, Feliciano and Pineda unable to play (Mariano had eight innings, but still) and the team paying for A.J. Burnett to be elsewhere, the guys who did play regularly exceeded the overall payroll. No small feat when that payroll is over $200 million, even if that is what they're supposed to do.
Yes, there are players who are more than overpaid. Yes, they could probably stand to get younger overall to maximize the bang for their buck, so to speak. Younger doesn't necessarily better, though; in fact, it's usually the opposite. For as old and overpaid as they were, they did win 95 games and provide a surprising amount of value. If the expectation is a championship every year, things are bound to look like a failure more often than not. The way it ended wasn't pretty, but given the starting roster and everything that happened during the year, it's hard to be too disappointed with the team as a whole.

Shrimp boats (or shrimpboats) arespecialized fishing boats that are specifically designed for shrimping, catching both shrimp and prawns in their nets or traps. Commercialshrimping is a significant industry for many regions worldwide, including the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, southeast Asia andthe Gulf of Thailand.
The most common type of shrimper isthe trawler, which pulls a net through the water as it cruises slowlythrough bays, gulfs or open seas. Seines, or seine nets, which surroundthen envelope and contain a school of shrimp, can also be used as wellas cast nets, while baits and traps are common shrimp fishing techniquesin some regions.
Shrimp trawlers often use a style offishing net known as an otter net (or otter trawler). This type ofconical net is held open by a combination of floats at the top andweights at the bottom as it moves through the water, scooping everythingit catches into its long reservoir. Unwanted catch other than shrimp isknown as bycatch, which is usually returned to the sea. In theU.S., shrimp boats (as well as the shrimp trawlers of fleets whichselltheircatch to the United States) now use a variety of bycatchexcluder devices to reduce the amount of undesired catch and safeguardother species of fish and sea turtles. Such devices include gratesthrough which shrimp pass but fish do not, or the turtle excluderdevice, which allows sea turtles to swim safely away from the net.

Kingston, NH — Harry Charles Mitchell, 80, died in his home after an eight month battle with cancer, on August 13. He was born May 29th, 1932, in Brooklyn, NY. He was the son of Charles and Diamanto MItchell.
Harry grew up in Cambridge and joined the Army at seventeen, serving his country in the Korean Conflict. He then went to Boston University where he received his bachelor of science and master's degrees, going on to become a teacher. He married his wife Elaine, of fifty-six years, in 1956 while attending college.
During the late sixties, he helped start the folk group called the Tripjacks (along with Len Phillips and Phil Miller). He played the banjo and fiddle while blending in his smooth baritone voice. They were signed by Squire Records and played the prestigious World's Fair in 1964. Although the group stopped touring in 1969, they played together until just a week before his death.
For the better part of two decades, he taught high school sociology and behavioral science at Arlington High School in Massachusetts.
In the early seventies, while still teaching in Arlington. he bought a standardbred race horse farm in Kingston, NH, where he trained, drove and raised harness horses. He trained horses in the morning, taught during the day, and then raced at night. During the seventies and eighties, he also raised cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and other various farm animals along side his race horses.
He retired from teaching in 1987 and became completely immersed as a horse trainer and farmer. He raced horses from Maine to New York and finally retired from the circuit in 2001. He lived the rest of his life on the self named Mitchell Farms in Kingston, enjoying life for the simple qualities he loved about it.
He is survived by his wife Elaine; sons, Douglas and Marc (Jen); sister, Mary; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
ARRANGEMENTS: A private service was already held at the farm. Condolences can be sent to Elaine Mitchell, 15 Exeter Road, Kingston, NH 03848 or to email@example.com.

Raiders RB Darren McFadden will be sidelined for the next couple of weeks after breaking an orbital bone in his face, the team announced Thursday.
The injury took place during practice on Wednesday during a drill where the running back delivered a hard block on LB Quentin Groves. Oakland head coach Hue Jackson told reporters his running back will "be fine."
The team is currently thin at running back with McFadden out. Reserves Taiwan Jones and Michael Bennett are also out with injuries, and backup Michel Bush has yet to report to camp, as he is an restricted free agent.
"I think that's going to get resolved here soon," Jackson said of Bush's contract status. "But yeah, we'd love to have him out here. He's one of the backs on this team that's played well. So we have some other guys that are battling hard, but all I can really be concerned about are the guys that are here practicing."
The way we see it
The team would be wise to be extra careful with McFadden and not risk any further injury. With Bush still unsigned and TE Zach Miller gone in free agency, the running back is the only established offensive weapon on the Raiders roster. Though the broken bone in his face won't keep him sidelined for long, it is the type of thing that could be a problem down the road if aggravated again, an issue the team cannot afford to deal with during the regular season.

Tennis players produce topspin by brushing their strings up the back of the ball. This makes the surface of the top of the ball spin forward (in the same direction as the ball's flight), thus increasing its friction with the air and causing greater air pressure on the top of the ball than on the bottom of the ball. This effect, called the Magnus force, pushes the ball downward as it flies.
Topspin makes the ball drop faster; therefore, it allows you to hit higher over the net at any given forward ball speed. Just by reducing the likelihood that your ball will hit the net, topspin provides a huge advantage, but higher clearance over the net brings a second advantage as well: a ball that descends from a greater height will bounce higher, often so high that your opponent can't generate a powerful response, especially on the backhand side.
If your opponent wants to avoid meeting the ball uncomfortably high, she can either move forward to hit it on the rise or move back so far that she meets it after it has dropped from its post-bounce peak, but the ease of making this adjustment depends, in large part, on how steeply the ball bounces. Bouncing higher doesn't necessarily mean bouncing upward at a steeper angle, because the angle of a bounce is a combination of its upward and its forward components. While a topspin shot that flies higher will also bounce higher, and the steepness of its bounce is increased by the steepness of its descent (explained below), these factors are offset somewhat by two effects of topspin that tend to decrease the steepness of the ball's bounce by increasing its forward speed: the ball's forward spin causes it to slow down less when it hits the court, and topspin allows greater forward air speed than would be possible to keep a flat or backspin ball shot in bounds at the same height.
Topspin shots bounce most steeply on clay, because the ball digs a shallow hole as it hits the court and is thus both slowed down and pushed upward by the front slope of that hole as it exits. This has a huge effect on the clay-court game. Balls are harder to hit on the rise when they are rising more steeply, because it's harder to time the racquet's forward motion to intercept a ball that's spending less time within a given height window, and the uneven clay surface imposes the added difficulty of a somewhat unpredictable bounce. If you play farther back, though, you have to run farther, because you don't cut off your opponent's angle shots as early. To run farther, you need more time, and clay helps you by slowing the ball down. The increased difficulty of meeting the ball early and the relative ease of meeting it farther back explain, in large part, why most clay-court specialists play farther back than those who prefer hard courts or grass.
