Follow the Expedition 8 crew's spacewalk outside the International Space Station. Reload this page for updates.
0212 GMT (9:12 p.m. EST Thurs.)
The Foale and Kaleri are examining the suit and backpack to determine why the sublimator device appeared to break down during the EVA. The sublimator maintains cooling and regulates humidity within the suit.
0145 GMT (8:45 p.m. EST Thurs.)
0131 GMT (8:31 p.m. EST Thurs.)
Activities that were not performed include relocation of laser light retro reflector devices from the aft end of Zvezda service module and the changing of sample packages in a Russian experiment to examine the residue from station thruster firings. The retro reflectors are being studied as navigation devices for the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle, which will begin delivering cargo to the station in the spring or summer of 2005.
0121 GMT (8:21 p.m. EST Thurs.)
0112 GMT (8:12 p.m. EST Thurs.)
0109 GMT (8:09 p.m. EST Thurs.)
0100 GMT (8:00 p.m. EST Thurs.)
"I have rain inside the helmet," Kaleri told Russian flight controllers a little while ago. "I have water inside the visor."
"How much water? Could you estimate?" a controller replied.
"Well, quite some amount, a significant amount. It felt like rain," Kaleri said through a translator.
"It seems the sublimator has failed, according to our telemetry your sublimator has failed," the ground reported.
"You think so?"
"Tell me, can you feel which side the sun is shining, can you feel it on one side of your body?"
"Very insiginficantly. If I didn't know where it was, I couldn't very well guess," Kaleri replied.
"Well then it's not too bad."
"It's not like I'm baking on the beach."
0050 GMT (7:50 p.m. EST Thurs.)
0042 GMT (7:42 p.m. EST Thurs.)
0039 GMT (7:39 p.m. EST Thurs.)
"Russian flight controllers are indicating an apparent failure of a sublimator cooling device, which maintains cooling and regulates humidity within the suit itself."
0028 GMT (7:28 p.m. EST Thurs.)
Kaleri has been instructed to cycle the pumps in hopes of clearing the trouble.
The spacewalkers are currently working with another Russian witness plate experiment while waiting for a decision by officials.
0023 GMT (7:23 p.m. EST Thurs.)
The other MPAC-SEED experiment removed from the station hull today will be brought inside for later return to Earth.
2347 GMT (6:47 p.m. EST)
For the next year, the experiment will provide real-time radiation dosage measurements to a computer inside the service module. The information will be used to determine the amount of radiation that spacewalking astronauts experience.
"The levels of radiation inside the station are well documented though the levels experienced by astronauts outside of the ISS are still unclear. In order to determine precise measurements, Matroshka simulates the human body within a spacesuit as closely as possible," the European Space Agency says.
"The Matroshka experiment facility consists of several different layers, hence the reason for naming it after the famous Russian matrioshka dolls. The simulated human element of the experiment is called the Phantom. It is composed of natural bone and a material, which closely resembles natural tissue. A lower-density material is used to simulate the lungs. These 'tissue' layers are covered with a simulated skin layer. The Phantom is itself housed in an external container, which represents a spacesuit.
"Radiation sensors are placed in and around the Phantom at different key organ locations such as the stomach, lungs, colon, eyes and skin and also within the spacesuit element. Knowing the radiation doses suffered by sensitive body organs is crucial for assessing the hazards from cosmic radiation."
2317 GMT (6:17 p.m. EST)
The second MPAC-SEED package has been moved.
The crew is now preparing to install the Matroshka radiation monitoring experiment on Zvezda.
2305 GMT (6:05 p.m. EST)
2247 GMT (5:47 p.m. EST)
MPAC is designed to capture tiny bits of space debris and micro-meteoroids for scientists to study the size, composition and impact energy of such objects in the space station's orbit.
SEED is exposing different materials to space to help future spacecraft builders in understanding the environment's effects.
2217 GMT (5:17 p.m. EST)
2155 GMT (4:55 p.m. EST)
We will continue to post periodic updates on the spacewalk's progress on this page throughout the evening.
2147 GMT (4:47 p.m. EST)
A bundle of other experiments has been brought out of the airlock for transport to the Zvezda service module. The various packages, including the Matryoshka torso radiation experiment, will be installed by the spacewalkers over the course of the next few hours.
Space station systems are functioning normally, Mission Control says, as the complex operates without anyone side during this spacewalk.
2118 GMT (4:18 p.m. EST)
2105 GMT (4:05 p.m. EST)
2053 GMT (3:53 p.m. EST)
2008 GMT (3:08 p.m. EST)
The crewmen have donned their the Russian Orlan spacesuits and commenced depressurization of the Pirs docking module's airlock for the spacewalk. The spacewalk officially begins at hatch opening.
The to-do list for this spacewalk, the 52nd in the life of the space station and 27th to originate from the orbiting lab, is quite extensive with many chores outside the Russian segment of the complex.
The spacewalkers will remove one suitcase-sized package and relocate another -- both part of the Japanese MPAC-SEED experiment. This experiment is studying micro-meteor impacts and material exposure in the space environment. This experiment was deployed by Expedition 3 in October 15, 2001.
One new experiment that will be attached to the outer hull of the Zvezda service module is a Russian experiment named Matryoshka, which will provide data on radiation exposure to the human body during spaceflight.
Laser light retro reflector devices from the aft end of Zvezda will be removed. The reflectors are being studied as navigation devices for the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle, which will begin delivering cargo to the station in the spring of 2005.
They also will change sample packages in a Russian apparatus that is used to study the residue created from station thruster firings.
Michael Foale, making his fourth spacewalk, is designated EV1. He is wearing the spacesuit with blue stripes. Alexander Kaleri, making his fifth spacewalk, is designated EV2. He is wearing the spacesuit with red stripes.
This will be the first International Space Station spacewalk since the resident crews were reduced from three to two people in the wake of the Columbia accident. Therefore, no one will be inside the station during the spacewalk. Space station managers have established a list of rules that would terminate the spacewalk and get the crew back inside to deal with failures of station systems should that occur.

'Veep'-ish Moments: Stars Reveal D.C. Insiders Think the Show's Spot-On (Video)
Think HBO's Veep is a broad satire on D.C. politics? Think again.
Star Tim Simons, who plays White House liaison Jonah Ryan, tells The Hollywood Reporter that Washington insiders have admitted to him that the scathing comedy is frequently spot-on.
"We've heard this not just from the vice president's office but from a few different offices: The government employees will go through a day and it's like, 'Man, that was a Veep-ish moment,'" Simons laughs.
VIDEO: What If the 'Veep' Cast Had Starred in 'The Social Network?'
Co-star Matt Walsh -- who with Simons stopped by to tape a sidesplitting THR Audition for The Social Network -- adds that the show's signature rapid-fire dialogue, penned largely by series creator Armando Iannucci, was much easier to tackle in the second season.
"The rehearsal process was mind-blowing the first year because the scripts would change every day and we were getting ten drafts. And this year we were completely fine with getting sides the day of," Walsh says.
Walsh also has heaps of praise for star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who nabbed an Emmy for best actress in a comedy for her portrayal of the harried, potty-mouthed Vice President Selina Meyer. The former Seinfeld star has a sixth sense for finding the funny.
"I noticed the first year she's so gifted at creating moments in text that you wouldn't see," Walsh explains. "She's good at finding the joke on the way to the joke."
STORY: HBO Renews 'Veep' for Third Season
As for the direction of the madcap second season -- the veep already has caused an Internet uproar over a song insulting Europeans, and was groped by the First Husband of Finland (Dave Foley) -- Walsh says there's much fun to be had with the addition of several new characters from the office of the president, or "POTUS," in Veep-speak.
"Now we have some presence with Gary Cole and Kevin Dunn, and [Jonah] kowtowing to them," Walsh explains. "There's more weight from the presidential side to push down on Selina."
"If I have a personal arc," Simons adds, "you can see shifts in power as to who Jonah is sucking up to. Just like a barnacle, I latch on to anything I can."
Veep airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on HBO.

An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society!
Self Defense is an absolute and natural right!
Keep your head down and your powder dry!
I think size is the most important factor here, of both gun and carrier. I mean, who couldn't concealed an LCP in any type of clothing besides Beach bods in today's skimp?
We just matched a summer heat record set in 1918. The mercury hit a scorching 85 Degrees and humidity of 21 %. It is supposed to cool down in the next few days.
Open or concealed carry is legal no CCW required. Most summer days a shirt or light fly fishing vest will cover the handgun. Fly fishing is a popular summer past time.
Hello all. I live in PA and it gets pretty damn hot and muggy here. Today 89 with high humidity.
I visit my mom in south Fl probably going down in August this yr. I dress the same no matter where I am.
I carry not 1 but 2 Glocks in a Smart Carry (ambi-model). I wear pleated dress slacks and suspenders, so they are a bit looser and easy to access with either hand. I've been carrying with this method for many years. As the old saying goes, carrying a gun is supposed to be comforting not necessarily comfortable. The way I carry is very comfy for me and quite comforting.
I don't really care for the heat that much, and won't wear shorts, so it's long pants for me year round.
So in my case I suppose it's dress for carry all the time.
By the way, I carry either (2) G30SF's (45ACP) or (2) G38's (45 GAP), and I always carry 2 spare mags as well.
Each unto his own.
This July will be the start of my 40th year CCW or as we call it in PA a LTCF.
Good luck and always stay safe

pruning peach trees after blooms start?
wertach zone 7-B SCMarch 17, 2014
I was in the process of pruning my peach trees a few weeks ago. It was still cold and they were still dormant.
Then rain with very warm weather came. Plus I had to work late, so didn't get to finish before they started blooming.
Would it be best to let it go until next winter or can I still prune?
I really need to cut some long branches that will be too weak to support the fruit and open up the center more.
I guess I can just pick off the fruit further up the long branches to keep them from breaking if I cant prune now.

What and where was Angel's Camp?
I notice that there have been several 'found' roses discovered there-does anybody have any info on this place?
Thank you.
There is a web site you'll find interesting. California frequently had the latest and newest of many "fashions" because of many factors. The State was rich in land, gold and silver, water, cattle, trade, railroads, agriculture, which all generated substantial money. Money permits appetites to be indulged so many European "fashions", from art, clothing, furniture, "modern conveniences"; imported, dismantled European castles and estates and new rose creations to be made available across the state here nearly as early as they were introduced. Add the very benign climate with an exploding population and it's no wonder so many "lost treasures" have been rediscovered here, particularly from the central to northern portions of the state where there is significantly more natural rainfall. Much of the more northern sections get twice and more rain than many of the southern areas.
You might find this of interest. California Nursery Company existed for nearly 140 years and was known across the state. I'm sure many of these "found" roses originated with them. Kim http://www.fremontica.com/CNCo/
Here is a link that might be useful: Angel's Camp
Angel's Camp (founded 1848) is a Gold Rush town on California Hwy 49 (The "Golden Chain.") Didn't y'all ever read "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"?? In that area, many Old Roses have been recovered and propagated for preservation and re-introduction to commerce.
Rosarians from Francis Lester to Fred Boutin, to Rusty Rolleri, Lynne Storme, Judy Dean, Bev Vierra, through the Heritage Roses Groups teams have explored those areas.
Most of the roses found in Angel's Camp/Altaville are now growing in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden, the Sacramento City Cemetery, or both. Many of those roses are now gone from the gardens and cemeteries where they were collected, so it's good that they DO grow in those other places. I know, for instance that some of the roses collected on HRG Rose Rustles in 2005 are gone now. Others are now in very fragile condition.
"Sawyer Plot Tea"/'Mme. Lombard'
This above is thought to be 'Lady Mary Fitzwilliam,' and it was found on the grave of a woman named Mary.
This one, from the grave of a WWII veteran, Frank Dorroh, may be 'Mrs. Frank Serpa.'
Thanks for the pictures and history, Jeri. Really, you have such a storehouse of memories to share. I really appreciate it. I love Mark Twain, too!
There's a world of stories in those old Gold Rush towns. Some known, others likely never to be known. But it's beautiful country, too, and a pleasure to visit for the feel of the past you still find there.
It's Mark Twain country, and it's Bret Harte country.
I love to visit Columbia -- some miles further South, near Sonora. Columbia is a State Historic Park now, so it's beautifully maintained. Just a nice place to spend the day.
The first time I visited, I had drinks in the "What Cheer" Saloon, which is pretty much un-changed since the mid-19th- Century.
There's an RV Park, oh, maybe a half-mile walk from the main part of town, in an old marble quarry. Some day, I want to visit when they're all tarted up for the Christmas Season.
Jeri, could you repeat the story of the headstone (near the Empire Mine, I think) marking the grave of a young Welshman, with a rose planted there? It brought tears to my eyes when you posted it before - something about being far from family and friends, but someone cared enough...
Some miles North of Empire Mine, Laura, but on Hwy 49, in a town of which almost nothing remains (Other than a bar and two cemeteries).
This is the grave of young Emmanuel Penrose, born in Wales, d. age (I think) 25 years, in 1877. There were mine disasters in that period, in that place. Perhaps young Emmanual died in one of those. We'll never know.
When we first visited Emmanuel's grave, there was a 'Mme. Plantier' of reasonable size planted there. You had to wonder who cared enough for that young man, so far from home, as to plant a rose for him, and hand-water it, until it was established.
'Mme' Plantier' is a rose of great vigor, which is found all over old California, but Emmanuel's rose is gone, now. At least, it was not in evidence in Oct., 2005, when I last stopped by to pay my respects.
But all of the old roses planted in the long-deserted cemeteries were planted FOR someone, who was loved BY someone. And for that reason, if for no other, all of them should be treated with great respect.
In that same old cemetery, there is an exquistely-carved marble stone, with roses you'd swear you could smell, placed there to mark the grave of Ann Pierce, who died there in the 1800's, at the age of 87. I think often about the wonders Ann saw in her life. Her 14-y-o grandson lies next to her there.
So, WHERE is the "Tour Guide", "Book", whatever permutation it takes on? An E-Book, on line, complete with all the information and well illustrated, even by subscription, would be remarkable and, I believe, very well supported. I know I would subscribe. Kim
Thank you so much, Jeri! That's a wonderful story, though it's sad that the rose is gone now. It touched me particularly because my father's family was Welsh, and my mother's father was born in Jackson/Ione (or "Jackson, Amador", as he always said), his own father having come out for the gold. Maybe this is part of why I feel such a connection to the Sacramento Historic Cemetery and the Rose Garden.
There is a book called 'California's Rose Heritage' from Journal of the Heritage Rose Foundation (2005 Conference) and then there is the one listed below. I know that 'Mystery Roses Around the World' is available from The Heritage Rose Foundation-I think that's where I got 'California's Rose History'.
Here is a link that might be useful: HRF
The truth is, Kim you become possessive about these places.
I only once had to hear a merry tale of how one woman and her husband made a trip through that country, filled a cooler with cuttings, dumped them in favor of cold beer . . . As the story continued, my stomach did flip-flops. I never replied. I couldn't think of anything even reasonably polite to say in response to that.
I think everyone HERE would treat those places with respect, but that's not a universal truth.
I have come to understand why many of the places described in Thomas Christopher's "IN SEARCH OF LOST ROSES" are not where he says they are . . .
Totally understandable, Jeri. By "Tour Guide", I'm meaning your guided tour of the found roses, why they're good and how they were named. You don't have to say where the Setzer Noisette came from, only that it honors the Setzer family plot. I understand the pressures to destroy the cemetery roses across the state, even without thoughtless people devastating what's left of the plants as souvenirs. Pull a Thomas Christopher. Write about the roses, the people, the romance, but keep the actual location secret. Most will never know of these roses, much less see what they look like. Your bringing them alive will create demand so the Vintages, Burlingtons, RVR's can sell them, securing their survival. Kim

If you actually read the thread it was only brought up because of Carolina "fans" who were more concerned with state's loss than that scrappy win against the powerhouse Virginia tech.
at least this thread got derailed from what really happened, state loses another game. what a shocker.
in other news- state fans bring up Carolina again even though they didnt play this day.

Soyuz With Richard Garriott Successfully Launched 56
from the lord-british-in-space dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
By my definition, this makes Richard Garriott the most sane man on the planet, literally by escaping it for a short time.
For years, I've been baffled by the rat race millionaires and billionaires who seem to do nothing with their copious amounts of cash than collect more of it. It isn't sane IMHO unless you do something big and spectacular with that amount of excess. At most, some of them retire and give a portion to charity (not bad per se, but even then watch them coldly calculate how they dole it out).
Richard Garriott isn't super rich on a gigantic scale compared to some, but he's always done stuff that others may define as eccentric. Seriously tho, he's more sane than the rest of that upper margin.
Kudos to him.
Nothing in progression can rest on its original plan. We may as well think of rocking a grown man in the cradle of an infant. -- Edmund Burke

Alaska News
In First Batch Of Early Bills, No Big Ticket Items
In a little over a week, the 29th Legislature will gavel in. In preparation, lawmakers have released the first batch of bills they plan to consider. APRN's Alexandra Gutierrez joined us to talk about what's been offered.
How is the Legislature's workload shaping up?
The number of pre-filed bills is actually pretty standard. 59 bills and 4 proposed constitutional amendments were released today, which is comparable to the number of early bills filed in the past few sessions. A lot of are bills from the last Legislature that, for whatever reason, just didn't make it across the finish line — like a bill that would regulate smoking in restaurants, bars, taxis, really any public or semi-public indoor space.
The thing that stands out to me, though, is that unlike the last Legislature, we're not seeing any ambitious infrastructure bills in this early release. Last cycle, we had early bills to let the state build a small-diameter gasline on its own, or let the state move forward on the development of a bridge over the Knik Arm. Many of the bills offered this go round don't even look like they'll need a fiscal note to determine how much they could cost the state.
That's almost certainly by design. With the state looking at a multi-billion dollar shortfall, any bill that isn't going to be zero cost will face an extra level of scrutiny.
So, are most of these bills small-bore then?
That depends on your definition. A lot of them do seem to be pretty narrow in scope, like a bill to create a Great Alaska Earthquake Remembrance Day and legislation to exempt Alaska from daylight savings time. There's one bill that caught my eye that would prohibit the manufacture or sale of cosmetics containing plastic beads — like those exfoliating body washes. (Apparently they're mearly impossible to deal with when they end up in the water supply.)
But there are some pre-filed bills that tackle important issues even if they don't cost money . Legislation known as Erin's Law deals with the problem of child sexual abuse, and has a good shot of passing this Legislature. It nearly made it through last year, but was held up in what looked like a legislative game of chicken between the House and Senate, where the respective bodies wouldn't advance legislation until the other side did what it wanted. It also didn't help that it was originally introduced by a member of House's Democratic minority, as minority bills often have a hard time of moving through the Legislature.
Now, two separate versions of the Erin's Law bill have been introduced, one by the Democrat, Rep. Geran Tarr, who pushed for it last time, and one by House Majority Leader Charisse Millett. Because who introduces it matters, having a Republican in leadership push for it increases its odds of getting through.
Can you tell us about the constitutional amendments that are being introduced?
Well, an amendment to change the structure of the judicial council has been introduced again, by Fairbanks Republican Pete Kelly. That amendment would have added more public members to the board and weakened the influence of the attorney representatives. It made it all the way through the committee process and was even scheduled for the floor, but it was ultimately pulled after it didn't have enough votes from senators who were concerned it could politicize the way justices are selected.
There's also an amendment that would strike the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman from the Alaska Constitution. Gay couples are already allowed to be married because of a circuit court decision last year, but this would clean the language up from the Constitution.
What we're not seeing is any amendments to create dedicated funds for, say, transportation. There's also no revival of an amendment to let public funds go to private schools. Of course, just because these things haven't been filed yet, doesn't mean they can't come later.
Another batch of early bills will be released next week. Is there anything in particular you're watching out for?
Well we know that the Legislature plans to deal with marijuana. Rep. Bob Lynn has said he wants to introduce legislation to keep marijuana retail sales far from school, and Sen. Lesil McGuire has said she's thinking of legislation to create a marijuana control board. But the only bill released today that has anything to do with marijuana is one dealing with industrial hemp.
Because there's a strict implementation timeline for the marijuana regulation initiative that passed this year, the nascent marijuana industry in this state will be keeping an eye on how quickly the Legislature decides to take up the issue.
Juneau Resident In Paris During Attack On Charlie Hebdo Magazine
Juneau resident Henry DeCherney arrived in Paris on Monday as part of an extended holiday traveling in Europe. He was there for Wednesday's attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine that left 12 dead and today's dual hostage situation, which killed four. The two main suspects in Wednesday's attack and an associate were killed as well.
Borough Seeks Railroad Funds
The price of oil briefly dipped below fifty dollars a barrel early this week, highlighting state budget concerns. Governor Bill Walker has issued a statement putting six major state – funded projects on hold.. among them, the Knik Arm Crossing and the Susitna- Watana Dam. Both those projects were slated for the Mat-Su. Missing from the governor's hit list, however, is a state appropriation for the final phases of the Port MacKenzie rail spur linking the Port with Alaska Railroad's main line in Houston.
John Moosey, Mat Su Borough manager, told a joint session of the Anchorage Assembly and the Borough Assembly on November 14 that it will take 120 million dollars to finish constructing the Port MacKenzie rail spur. Moosey told the panel that several investors are waiting, like California based WesPac, which is ready to build an LNG facility at the port, but the plan is contingent on rail link access.
"We need to have some funding to keep this in step. Because if the WesPac project goes, they will need rail service in two years. And we are also working with REI, which has a Japanese market. So, our problem with how the state has been dribbling out the money is that we can really not tell our customers when the rail will be complete. It has always been our top priority every year for the past seven years. The legislature has been good at getting us the funds."
The legislative appropriation for the rail spur is at the top of the Borough's wish list, approved by the Borough Assembly in the fall. The rail link between Houston and the port is necessary to make Port MacKenzie a viable economic engine for the Borough and the rest of the state, according to Moosey.
But the Borough's priority list, and Moosey's November comments, were made before oil prices went into freefall in December.
The total cost of the rail link is estimated to be 272 million dollars. Part of the spur has been completed, but the Borough needs the state to ante up more money to complete the job.
Within a month of his election, Governor Walker released a trimmed down version of the state budget that cuts spending by some 600 million dollars, with capital projects taking the brunt of the cuts.
But Moosey is not losing optimism concerning the rail spur appropriation, for several reasons.
"With this latest drop in oil prices.. we are very heavily dependent, as everybody knows, on state oil. By finishing up this rail project, it helps us to bring additional resources to the market to really give us a piece to help diversify the Alaska economy.So, with that, we think we have a great opportunity here."
Moosey says the rail spur is 2/3rds complete, and he is meeting today [Friday ] with LNG producer WesPac. WesPac wants to build an LNG plant at Port MacKenzie to ship LNG to Fairbanks, possibly competing with a state plan to truck LNG from the North Slope. Moosey says the WesPac project would be funded entirely by private money, cutting state costs in the process.
"There has been a push and quite a bit of investment on energy and planning on bringing North Slope LNG down to Fairbanks. And that investment was going to be at least 300 million $ from the state. The WesPac project which will bring to the city gate cheaper product, does not have a single dollar investment from the state of Alaska. So that is one good point. "
In December, Governor Walker announced a state agreement with Japan- based REI to construct an LNG export facility at Port Mac. The gas would come from Cook Inlet. Teddy Pease, a staffer at REI's Anchorage office, says the shipments do not depend on rail access to the Port MacKenzie dock.
Construction of the rail spur has come under criticism by some conservation groups, notably Cook Inletkeeper, because of concerns about costs and about possible impact on salmon habitat.
In August of last year, Joe Perkins, the Borough's executive for the rail extension project, told the Borough Assembly that the rail project is over budget and behind schedule. Work on the rail link started in 2008, but Perkins said that the way it had been funded, through yearly legislative appropriations, had not worked to keep costs down.
"We had intended to have the train running by now, had we received sufficient funding to do that. So, we have had some impacts from delays in funding. Our construction management people are having to stay a considerable number of years past what we have anticipated, same thing with our engineering people. So, again, the way this thing has been funded with eight different appropriations and some more to come, has certainly increased our costs."
The rail spur construction was divided into six segments. Three are complete, and another near completion. Perkins said that a major cause of cost over-runs were delays spurred by litigation against the project filed by the Sierra Club and Cook Inletkeeper. The lawsuits caused stop work orders which lasted months. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has since given the go ahead for the project.
Blue Crest Plans New Onshore Wells, LNG Shipments
The resurgent boom continues in Cook Inlet. At the annual Kenai Peninsula Industry Outlook Forum this week in Kenai, new oil and gas player Blue Crest, based in Forth Worth, made some of the biggest announcements.
CEO Benjamin Johnson says they've partnered with a California company called Wespac to build a new LNG facility that would make natural gas available across the state.
"Put it in small containers that can fit on barges, on rail cars, on trucks, and basically provide a cheap alternative to diesel fuel that most of the communities in the state are using."
Johnson offered few details about what communities might provide a market for the gas, when it could be available or for how much. He says bringing in someone else to produce the gas will get it to market faster.
"They (Wespac) will drill these gas wells and they'll deepen some into the oil zones. They'll also put the platforms and pipelines in place. And then at some point after they've reached a minimum return, or are able to get their money back, then Blue Crest will come back in and begin owning the assets and eventually end up the majority owner."
Wespac will own the gas producing portions of the fields, located near Anchor Point, while Blue Crest will operate them and several onshore oil wells it plans to drill in 2015 and 2016.
AK: The Art Of Medicine
Physicians spend a lot of time thinking about how to fix the human body. A group of young doctors in Anchorage recently had the chance to draw it instead. They are all overworked, over tired interns- halfway through their first year of residency. They spent a morning in an intro to drawing class in an effort to get them to think more creatively about their careers.
At first, Doctor David Silbergeld wasn't sure what to make of the drawing class that popped up on his schedule.
"I think my first thought was, 'uh oh,'" he said.
Silbergeld's dad teaches art history, so he's had lots of exposure to art. But the last time he remembers producing any of it was a long, long time ago.
"When I was 4 or 5 years old I used to do art my dad said was amazing, and I have not done anything since then," he said.
Silbergeld is in his first year of the Alaska Family Practice Residency in Anchorage. Since July, he has been whizzing through a series of challenging rotations, working 80 hours a week and getting very little sleep. But for a month in the depth of the winter, all of the residency's interns have a break of sorts called 'trans-cultural medicine.' It's like an extracurricular holiday- a feast of lessons in things like cultural diversity, wilderness survival and nutrition.
And for three hours one recent morning – drawing.
University of Alaska Anchorage art professor Garry Mealor is teaching the class in figure drawing. He explains the students will have 90 seconds to draw each pose the model takes. He offers a few quick pointers – like how to get the proportions right (a human figure is about eight heads tall).
Then the model takes off her robe and more than a dozen doctors start to draw. Silbergeld is clearly enjoying himself, but it isn't easy. He develops a coping strategy early on.
"I simply can't recreate the human head or the human face in any beautiful or realistic way, so I've sort of given up on that and I've focused more on the torso or to some extent the legs, and I'm more pleased now that I'm doing that," Silbergeld said.
This is the fourth group of interns to take the drawing class. Dr. Susan Beesley, an Anchorage pediatrician, came up with the idea. Beesley thinks medicine is both a science and an art. She helped start an arts program at her medical school in Colorado. And she wanted to offer a small piece of that experience to the Alaska residents. Beesley likes that it pushes them out of their comfort zone.
"I think it's important to think creatively when your subjects are humans," Beesley said. "Humans don't really follow textbooks all the time and I think if you can integrate a little bit of creative thought into your healing practice that it will benefit both the doctors and the patients."
Beesley also hopes the class offers the doctors a different perspective after six months of looking at disease and illness in the human body.
"Now we're asking them to just look at it as a piece of art and think about it as just beautiful and miraculous and something that they can enjoy," Beesley said.
The morning's last challenge is to use different erasers to create an image of the model on paper blackened with charcoal, which Mealor assures is "going to be messy, but fun."
Silbergeld spends the rest of class immersed in his final piece of artwork.
"It took an hour to get me okay with it but I'm okay with it."
Silbergeld isn't exactly sure how this class may affect his decisions as a doctor three months, or even three years, from now. But he appreciates the chance to spend a morning thinking a little differently than his typical doctor routine allows.
"I think classes like this are a good reminder that sometimes when you do that physical exam you do need to step back and get that broader image of the human body when you're seeing patients," he said.
As he packs up, Silbergeld decides to take several of his drawings home. He says he's not exactly ready to frame them, but he doesn't want to give them up either.
AK Essay: Barenaked
Nude is what is it is called. Nude is artsy and sophisticated. But when I crumpled onto the small wooden platform, I was just plain old naked. And then when I crawled the several feet between me and my robe, I was even more naked.
Apparently, I am told by everyone I have ever told this story to that if one stands with locked knees for too long with locked knees, one faints. Apparently, everyone knows this. I wish I could say collapsing onto a wooden platform, while naked, was the hardest thing that happened as an art model.
It wasn't.
Walking into the classroom for the first time, naked under my robe, was harder than pretty much anything else I've done. Wedding day – easy. Childbirth – pudding. Climbing mountains – yawn city.
The classroom door had a small glass window that I could peer through. I saw them all in there, waiting. I had applied for the job. I had agreed to work. I did want the best paying college job on campus, but I could not open the door. Staying behind the door meant I could still run away. I told myself it would be good for me. I tried to think of other things that would be good for me, but scary, tweezing nose hairs, eating eggs without toast. I still couldn't open the door.
I told myself the artists didn't know me. After all, I was one of many models. I would act aloof. I would pretend experience. I would feign boredom, 'Oh, naked in front of strangers again.'
I opened the door. I walked in. I stepped up on the stage.
"Here's the model," the instructor said, "Let's make her feel welcome, it's her first time."
I had been naked before. I was naked before. In fact, I had been naked in front of other people, a few. Sure, it was more like slinking naked in front of one person, or dodging naked in front of another. I had never stood face on in front of 20. And certainly not face on in the bright light that streamed through the windows and surrounded by hot floodlights.
"Model, model – we're ready," the instructor said. My sweaty hand pulled the robe tie. My shoulder shrugged the robe off and tossed it off to the side. And then I stood there and didn't breath. And I'm sure I didn't breath for at least a couple of minutes.
I did note that that not breathing could cause fainting, so despite the thundering heartbeat in my ears, the cold sweat on my neck and an intense need to urinate, I eventually took a breath.
And then I modeled.
Although the first time was quite traumatic, when I'm asked what the hardest part of the job was, it wasn't being barenaked, it was not moving. Unless one is getting paid to sit, or stand, or lie down motionless, I don't think one would ever try this. One pose could last for 45 minutes. Let's say it's a reclining pose, one arm down on my back, the other arm bent and resting across my forehead. The pose feels fine, for a minute.
Three minutes into it, my arm, resting on my forehead, becomes heavy. Five minutes into it, my arm becomes The Arm. Eight minutes, I begin to worry about nerve damage to the arm. Then I worry about nerve damage to the forehead. At 12 minutes, I'm certain the brain is at risk. 17 minutes, breathing, trying to stay calm. 21 minutes trying to pretend I am somewhere else, somewhere without a log pressing on my forehead.
26 minutes and I'm walking on a white sandy beach. Breath in, Breath out. 35 minutes and I'm sure I will quit, no job is worth brain damage. 42 minutes and I think about tweezing my nose hair. 45 minutes and the instructor says, "That will be all, model."
And then using the arm that is still my arm to pry the arm that is a log off the forehead and then placing the log next to the body and then trying to get up, trying to pretend that it is easy to get up.
Stepping off the stage numb, aloof and barenaked.

Walker: With State In Red, Tax Credit Payouts "Unsustainable"
Since the Murkowski administration, every Alaska governor has offered his or her own version of oil tax reform. Now, Gov. Bill Walker is taking issue with aspects of the current tax regime, without committing to any immediate legislative changes.
On Thursday, Walker took to the pages of the Alaska Dispatch News to raise concerns over how the existing oil production tax works at low prices. With the value of oil now in free fall, Walker explained the state is now collecting less money than it is paying out. The Department of Revenue expects to collect $524 million in revenue this fiscal year, after North Slope producers deduct $750 million available to them in liability credits. Those liability credits can be used to buy their tax burden down, but do not require the state to pay out money. The major producers — Exxon, BP, and ConocoPhillips — are the top beneficiaries of these credits.
But on top of those deductions, the current tax law also grants smaller producers refundable credits meant to encourage more competition on the North Slope and stimulate production in Cook Inlet. These independent companies are eligible to receive $625 million in subsidies that can be cashed out if they end up exceeding their tax bill.
Once both kinds of credits are applied, the state expects to lose $100 million on its oil production tax.
Walker called this situation "irresponsible and unsustainable," and said the revenue problem must be addressed "from all angles." But that doesn't mean legislators should prepare for an oil tax fight this session. In an interview with APRN, Walker said he does not plan to introduce a tax bill.
"No, no, no. I think we have to maybe look across the board and give it some thought. Nothing maybe this year — I'm not looking at going in and making any significant changes," said Walker. "But I just feel it's part of my job that Alaskans know what I know, and this is unusual."
Walker also has no plans to make regulatory changes to the oil tax system that would affect the credits.
While campaigning, Walker came out against the current tax regime. He was in favor of a ballot referendum to repeal Gov. Sean Parnell's 2013 oil tax law, known as Senate Bill 21. When the referendum narrowly failed in August, Walker said that he respected the outcome and that he would give the law more time on the books if he became governor.
Since Walker was elected on November 4, oil prices have fallen from $80 to $50 per barrel. Walker said that drop is responsible for the state going into the red with its production. His office has done an analysis of how Parnell's Senate Bill 21 compares at current oil prices to the system that preceded it — ACES — and found the outcomes were not "significantly different."
"Whether it's ACES or Senate Bill 21, we'd be in this situation either way, quite honestly," said Walker. "So, it's not being judgmental on one versus the other. But's a new place for us. We've never been here before, that we're paying out more than we're receiving in production tax."
Historically, oil tax receipts have made up the bulk of the state's revenue. Last year, the state generated nearly $5 billion in oil revenue, with more than half of that coming from production taxes.
The state still expects to collect $2 billion this year from other forms of oil revenue, including royalties, corporate income taxes, and property taxes from production.
Early Study Shows Surprising Optimism Among Homeless Alaska Natives
A University of Washington professor has found high levels of optimism among homeless Alaska Native elders living in Seattle, and he's connected the finding to a strong desire to pass on knowledge and experiences to future generations.
As an Aleut who grew up in Naknek, Jordan Lewis knows a little something about Alaska Native culture. Whenever he's back home, Lewis says he likes to talk to elders and soak up traditional knowledge.
"They tell stories about how Naknek used to be when they were kids, because it's changing so much now," he says. "And I think just the fact that they talk to you and share their experiences, and pass on recipes, or how they used to make things, or where they used to pick berries, is this idea that they are hopeful that you'll take that knowledge and use it to benefit your own life, but then pass it on again."
Lewis is an assistant professor at the University of Washington's School of Social Work. His research focuses on Alaska Native communities and generativity, a concept developed by psychologist Erik Erikson. It says that as we grow older, humans tend to want to pass on their experiences and knowledge to future generations.
"The first generative act most people have in their lives is having kids," Lewis says. "That's going to secure your future. But as you grow older there's this need to pass on your legacy, write your memoirs, storytelling for elders, and passing down stories you heard to your grand kids."
Lewis has studied how generativity helps Alaska Natives age well and become role models, as well as overcome addictions.
He says he became interested in the homeless because it's an underserved and often overlooked population. Years ago, he says, his family had a relative involved with the Chief Seattle Club, a nonprofit that provides meals, housing assistance and other services to low-income and homeless Alaska Natives and American Indians. That's where he and a student interviewed 14 Alaska Native elders last year. He says the results surprised even him.
"All of the elders talked about the importance of giving back and teaching others," he says. "Whether it's through sharing a sandwich, giving extra change if they had extra change to someone who wasn't doing as well as they were. Volunteering at the Chief Seattle Club was almost everybody's response. That's what made them happy, that's what got them up every day. And they all said that they did that because it's going to come back to them in a positive way."
He says other themes of the interviews included the importance of laughter and religion.
In addition, each of the elders – ages 45 to 70 – filled out surveys to measure generativity and optimism. Lewis says 12 of the 14 individuals scored very high in both.
"That kind of complimented the qualitative interviews. So I could say, you know, 85 percent of the people I interviewed are very optimistic and like to give back and teach the young people, and then here we have specific examples of what they do to do that," Lewis says.
While he's excited about the early results, Lewis admits more research is needed to confirm his findings. He'd like to do more than 100 interviews, and has considered expanding to include American Indians.
He's planning to present his research at the Chief Seattle Club, and ask officials there for ideas on how to do a broader study of Native homelessness.
"How could we either help the people who are homeless, or how do we prevent homelessness, or how do we make their lives more enjoyable from these experiences of what these elders are doing for themselves," he says.
Lewis also hopes to publish his findings in a peer-reviewed journal. The initial study was part of an online Stanford University program on successful aging that he participated in last year.

Is SB21 Working?
Senator Bill Wielechowski, a Democrat from Anchorage, has been a vocal critic of the state's new oil tax structure. He says the law provides larger tax credits to oil companies as the price of oil declines.
Senator Cathy Giessel, a Republican from Anchorage, helped craft the new oil tax law. She says the tax structure is designed to bring in more revenue at lower oil prices than the previous law, ACES.

Chugiak Lawmaker Proposes Legislature Move
Update | 4:05 p.m. Jan. 8, 2015
Sen. Dennis Egan, a Juneau Democrat, says he thinks the bill "is a crock."
"I'm really dismayed that he's pitting one section of Alaska against another," Egan says.
Through a spokeswoman, Gov. Bill Walker said he typically doesn't commit on how he'll deal with legislation before receiving it. But, he added, he doesn't favor moving the capital.
Original post | 7:27 p.m. Jan. 7, 2015
Sen.-elect Bill Stoltze, R-Chugiak, plans to introduce a bill to move the Alaska Legislature to Anchorage. Stoltze isn't proposing a full-on capital move. Instead, KTUU reports that the bulk of state government would remain in Juneau and legislative sessions would be held at the Anchorage Legislative Information Office.
"I have always been a vocal advocate for relocation," Stoltze told KTUU.
This is the second time Stoltze has advocated for such a move. In 2008 he supported a similar bill introduced by Rep. Mark Neuman, R-Big Lake.
Many attempts and discussions to move the capital have taken place since the days of Alaska's first constitutional convention. According to a brief history compiled by The Alaska Committee, the last attempt to swing the legislature away from Juneau happened in 2002. Voters defeated a ballot measure that required the legislature to meet in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
Stoltze's bill will be introduced as the state grapples to deal with a $3.5 billion budget shortfall and declining oil prices.
UAF To Field Wildfire Crew

An LGBTQ Renaissance In Juneau
Juneau's alliance group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people has been going through a renaissance with new board members and energy. Now, with recent grant funding, SEAGLA hopes to increase visibility and awareness in the capital city and beyond.
SEAGLA has been around since the early 1980s providing support for the LGBTQ community in Juneau. The name used to be an acronym for Southeast Alaska Gay and Lesbian Alliance, but it's moved away from that strict definition to be more inclusive.
For years, SEAGLA's programming consisted of a weekly Friday night social and an annual picnic. Last year, SEAGLA organized a first ever Pride Week in Juneau with several events.
"We did a film festival, a hike, a kickball game, a karaoke night, a big dance and a picnic," says James Hoagland, one of eight volunteer board members. "All sorts of different kinds of events because we wanted to see who was out there, who our community was and what they needed from us, and we found that they liked all the events and they said, 'We need more of this and we need to do it even bigger.'"
The annual picnic last year drew about 200 people, the biggest attendance in the organization's history.
It recently received a $5,000 grant from thePride Foundation, which supports LGBTQ groups in the Northwest. It awarded funds to 56 organizations – three in Alaska. This is the largest grant SEAGLA has ever received.
The money will help expand programming.
"We know that there are hundreds of people out there who just even locally want to get together and do things and build community in all sorts of ways," Hoagland says.
SEAGLA is meant to be an alliance group for all of Southeast Alaska, but it's historically served just Juneau. The grant will allow the nonprofit to bridge gaps and offer services to other Southeast communities. Hoagland says individuals in Ketchikan, Haines, Sitka and Skagway have reached out to SEAGLA.
Josh Hemsath with Pride Foundation in Anchorage says the organization gave funding to SEAGLA for this very reason. Anchorage-based Identity Inc. also received a grant to bring students from rural areas to a youth leadership summit at Birchwood Camp.
"The need that we were seeing was how best to address serving individuals, whether they be youth or people who experience geographic isolation because they live in rural and remote communities," Hemsath says.
Outside of grant funding, Hoagland hopes SEAGLA can grow in other ways.
"It'll be particularly interesting during the legislative session and figuring out how to plug SEAGLA into the really dynamic political landscape that's going on right now in Alaska for LGBT people," Hoagland says.
With the legalization of same-sex marriage, Hoagland says other issues are ripe for change. Representatives Cathy Muñoz, a Republican, and Democrat Andy Josephson have pre-filed billsto add sexual orientation to the state's anti-discrimination laws. Hoagland says SEAGLA can play a role in education. He says many Alaskans don't even realize that people can get fired from a job because of sexual orientation.
"They thought that maybe we're protected under another law or something like that and it's just not the case and I think that most people understand that that's just not fair. And just opening up their eyes to the importance of putting that on the books in writing so that we can make sure that people don't experience a really tragic situation like losing your job just because of the person you love," Hoagland says.
Hoagland says making a political impact will be a natural outcome of expanding membership and strengthening SEAGLA.
Tongass Supervisor, Deputy, Leaving The Forest
The Tongass National Forest will soon be without its two top officials.
Forest Supervisor Forrest Cole plans to retire in April after about a dozen years in the job. He's overseen timber sales, stewardship efforts and other agency programs in Southeast Alaska.
Cole's deputy, Tricia O'Connor, is moving to a new Forest Service job in Wyoming. She'll be supervisor of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, which borders Yellowstone National Park, starting in February.
Both have been based in Ketchikan. Neither was immediately available for comment.
The supervisors work under Alaska Regional Forester Beth Pendleton, who also oversees Southcentral's Chugach National Forest.
Cole came to the Tongass about 35 years ago and worked in management positions throughout Southeast. Most recently, he's been a leader in the forest's transition from old-growth logging to harvesting younger trees.
O'Connor has been Tongass deputy forest supervisor since 2011. She's been in the region almost 15 years, beginning as Yakutat district ranger.
Both positions have been posted on USA Jobs, a federal employment website.
The Tongass is the nation's largest national forest, at about 17 million acres. Most of Southeast Alaska is within its borders.
We'll have more on the Tongass management changes in future reports.
Human Remains Found In 'Talkeetna Area' Cabin Fire
The Alaska State Troopers report that a cabin fire in the Talkeetna area killed one person.
According to troopers, the initial call was received just before midnight on Saturday night. When troopers arrived from the Talkeetna post, the cabin had burned to the ground. The next day, they returned with a Deputy Fire Marshal to search in the daylight. Human remains were found during that search. No positive identification has been made of the remains, and the investigation is ongoing. Troopers say foul play is not suspected at this time.
Trooper spokeswoman Megan Peters says that, since there is currently no positive ID, no further details, including the location of the fire, are being released. Talkeetna Fire Department Chief Ken Farina says that the Talkeetna Fire Department did not respond to any structure fires in on Saturday.
On Murkowski's First Day Chairing Energy Committee, Panel Passes Keystone Bill

Now this record is against a single word. The hitLocation contains the locations where a particular word has been found in a document.
Now what i want is to calculate the closeness of elements in

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

Harrell's highly regarded status is not surprising given his experience. He has performed with some of jazz's most noted leaders, composers and arrangers, including Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Horace Silver, Bill Evans, Lee Konitz and Phil Woods. Aside from sheer musical integrity, each of the aforementioned artists demanded something different from his trumpet player, and Harrell delivered. At the time he became a leader in the late 1980s, buzz about his work as a sideman was loud, and expectations were high.
Over the past decade Harrell has exceeded those expectations. He has topped critics' and readers' polls in jazz magazines and other publications, and even received the best jazz album nod from Entertainment Weekly for his 1998 release, The Art of Rhythm. And he has achieved everything while battling schizophrenia since the early '60s.
Harrell's most awe-inspiring moments are when he's on stage. That's when he truly becomes a vehicle for the music. When he plays a chart, he pays close attention to detail. But when he improvises, he's set free from boundaries. At those moments, to call what comes out of his horn the work of genius wouldn't be a stretch at all.

Though help on this site doesn't do any good if the techs in your area just flat out suck and not trained on HSI service. It's not like the freaking customer can replace the line from the house to the node with in reason. Get trash support on that and well your just screwed. Corporate is 100% useless at TWC. Online chat is useless and phone support is on the other side of this earth and even more useless because at least one can mostly understand chat support even if there full of BS.Now a oddly happy Comcast customer because at lest the local techs aren't 100% clueless and have there own laptops to test with unlike the overly cheap TWC.
1 recommendation
Interesting. Adelphia and TWC install guys seems OK for my parents and me. I never had to have anyone come over to fix issues. I do agree support sucks on phone and online.
The TWC techs uses a laptop but it's a Panasonic.

Planet X CT45 Carbon Clincher Wheelset - Any Good???

I'm thinking of splashing out on a set of carbon wheels and came across the Planet X CT45's
Has anybody got any experience of them? If so how do they perform?
Never tried them mate... But I've got a pair of 50mm carbon clinchers from china.... £300 and couldn't recommend them enough!!

The CT45's have only been on sale for a few months so experience maybe hard to get.
For what it's worth I have a set of PX 62mm clinchers. I love the rear wheel but hate the front. Don't get me wrong, there's nowt wrong with it. I just don't like the way the bike is balanced, handles and feels compared to the PX Model B on the front. There again I'm not a fan of long flat and fast sections of road.
Had I not splashed out on them, the CT45 would be on the bike now.

Just had a look at the PX website
My initial impressions are that they seem heavy - particularly in clincher form - but as usual for the company they are reasonably good value..
It would depend on what kind of riding you do - the tubular version would make a reasonable all round wheelset - less affected by cross winds than most, some aerodynamic advantage from the depth and light weight for hills, but of course many are scared of tubs (don't be!)
The clincher - I don't see the point, frankly. For TT, go deeper for the same weight, for an all-round wheelset, any aero advantage is negated by the extra weight, may as well stick to aluminium

Galaxy Note 3 Rumor Roundup and Variants Explanation
During last couple of days i see much of rumors about upcoming Galaxy Note 3 device that will be probably released at this year IFA in Berlin. First of all, the specs floating around are not confirmed and are pure speculation of various blog authors. As for now, we can only confirm that the Note 3 Will have screen size of 5.7-inches of 1080x1920 px resolution. Resolution is confirmed in UAPROF website:
And screen size info was confirmed in some internal documents that we saw lately (sorry, no more details - we can't). As for the versions of devices, let's clarify it a bit.
SM-N900 - base International Version of device based on Exynos SoC
SM-N9005 - international version based on Snapdragon SoC (probably Snapdragon 800)
SM-N900A - U.S AT&T Version of Device
SM-N900T - T-Mobile Version
SM-N900V - Verizon Version
SM-N900S - Sprint Version
SM-N900R4 - Unknown, but probably another carrier variant (Rogers?), or simply test version passed to the testers
SM-N900P - Uknown, but probably another carrier variant.
We can also confirm, that currently device is running on Android 4.2.2
Rest of the specs that blogs posts are simply speculations - this whole story about flexible amoled display , or unbreakable display? - we heard the same rumors when we was waiting for Galaxy S 4 - and none of them was true.
We will report if we will find something _confirmed_ in the subject of Galaxy Note 3 - so stay tuned!

All I want to know is "when". All the other info is nice but I just want to know when I can get my hands on one. I am sick and tired of this iPhone 4S.
I definitely appreciate this kind of reporting and information.
Thanks this was informative and appears accurate unlike most of the garbage out there.

Hopkins County-Madisonville Library Considering Next Steps For New Location After High Bids
The Hopkins County-Madisonville Public Library is looking for ways to stay within its budget after recent bids for an ongoing renovation project came in far above budget.
The board took no action at a meeting Thursday, but it is moving forward to find ways to stay within its budget of less than $400,000. The bids for the renovation of 425 East Center Street ranged from nearly $604,000 to $813,000.
Library Director Joel Meador says the library's attorney advised board members on its options regarding the high bids. He says those options include readjusting the plans to the budget, requesting new or revised bids and negotiating with the three lowest-bidding firms.
"The very next step is the project coordinator, Mike Duncan, will meet with the architect next week," Meador said. "They're going to be reviewing the information that we have, researching possible options in consultation with the library board's attorney."
Meador says during the meeting the board discussed furniture it acquired for the new location from the Laurel County Public Library and the new space's floor plan in addition to programs at the library's current location.
"You know, I don't want people to forget we already have a great library," Meador said. "It's just getting us into a permanent home."
The director says the library board may call a special meeting after receiving Duncan's recommendations before it meets for its regular meeting next month.
