The Desalination and Water Purification Research and Development (DWPR) Program's overall objective is to reduce the desalting and water purification technologies costs to augment U.S. water supplies.
Through this program, Reclamation continues to form partnerships with private industry, universities, local communities, and others to address a broad range of desalting and water purification needs.
Under the Water Desalination Act of 1996, Reclamation is awarding financial assistance agreements for research, pilot-scale investigations, and demonstration plants.
The research and studies will focus on concentrate issues, followed by membrane process development, non-traditional or alternative desalination, and ancillary and economic improvements.
For fiscal year 2002, Reclamation anticipates awarding 6 to 9 agreements for research and pilot-scale investigations, or 1 demonstration plant agreement.
Pilot-scale investigations will be part of the resesarch and studies requests for proposals (RFP).
A separate RFP is being issued for demonstration projects.
Awards depend on the content and quality of proposals received.
However, should additional funding become available, additional awards may be made.
Any resesarch that meets the program goals will be fully considered; examples given below are merely illustrative.
Research and studies financial assistance agreements will be awarded in the following task areas.
Study agreements will last 1 year or less, with Federal funds of $75,000 to $100,000.
(Follow-on funding may be available for additional research studies, pilot-plant projects, or future demonstration projects.)
Award amounts vary according to interest areas.
The task goal is to reduce costs and increase ease of operations for membrane-based desalting and water treatment systems.
Qualifying projects can apply to any portion of a membrane treatment process, including pretreatment.
Examples of these projects include, but are not limited to,
(1) integrated membrane systems (IMS) development,
(2) research on membrane storage or preservation techniques and biological control during plant operation,
(3) studies on foulants or other materials adhering to membrane surfaces,
(4) studies on membrane cleaning, including frequency and effectiveness,
(5) improvements in membrane-containing elements or stacks,
(6) increase in rates of mass transfer to membrane surfaces,
(7) studies on the influence of minor groundwater components on membrane properties,
(8) studies on pretreatment specifically for membrane processes,
(9) studies on presence and influence of biofilms on membranes, and
(10) development of investigative techniques relating to membrane processes.
The task goal is to investigate non-traditional or alternative desalination or water purification techniques, including evaluating economics and thermodynamic efficiency of these processes.
Examples of these projects include, but are not limited to,
(1) developing new, innovative alternative desalination processes,
(2) investigating innovative techniques combining desalination processes with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic, wind power, solar thermal, and geothermal, and
(3) investigating freeze desalination and innovative combined desalination processes.
Only technologies that can become cost competitive with existing membrane and thermal processes will be considered.
Proposed projects should be potentially commercially viable and have wide applicability.
The task goal is to make desalination processes more economical.
Following are examples of these projects.
(1) A method for evaluating the economic implications of technological improvements is of primary importance at this time.
Reclamation has models for reverse osmosis and nanofiltration that are sensitive enough for this purpose but needs models for electrodialysis, ion exchange, and thermal desalting methods.
If the DWPR program is to decrease costs of desalting, it must have models for all desalting methods so that the recent technological improvements made under this program can be compared on an equal basis.
(2) Studies optimizing cost and/or design for different operating conditions.
(3) Investigation of methods to increase the economic efficiency of desalination processes, including hybrid systems or dual-purpose co-facilities with other processes involving the use of water.
(4) Detailed surveys of construction and operating costs for desalination facilities with common itemized categories of costs for each plant surveyed normalized to a common basis.
The task goal is to evaluate problems related to concentrate disposal and to develop new techniques to reduce disposal costs and impacts on the environment.
Examples of these projects include, but are not limited to,
(1) Recovering and using irrigation return flows,
(2) Developing high salt complex mixtures,
(3) Creating products that use salts,
(4) Developing concentrate disposal systems,
(5) Recovering and using concentrate by-products (dissolved salts),
(6) Salinity modeling and toxicity analysis of concentrate discharges to the environment,
(7) Substituting brackish concentrate for potable water in industrial applications, and
(8) Removing supersaturated salts to permit further desalting of concentrate to reduce the volume of disposal concentrates.
Only technologies that could become cost competitive with existing disposal methods will be considered.
Proposed projects should be potentially commercially viable and have wide applicability.
The task goal is to share the cost of designing, fabricating, and testing pilot-scale systems, processes, and concepts.
Pilot plant agreements will last for 2 years or less.
Contingent upon congressional funding, a maximum amount of $270,000 per agreement will be awarded for Reclamation's cost-share portion ($150,000 the first year and $120,000 the second year).
Awards under this task typically result from successful research and studies from one of the other emphasis areas in the DWPR program that demonstrates a high level of success and a need for further technology development.
However, any researcher may submit a pre-proposal who can provide sufficient documentation indicating that a high level of prior successful research has been accomplished and that the project is at the designing, building, and testing pilot-plant stage.
Reclamation also anticipates awarding one agreement to cost-share the design, construction, and testing of a demonstration-scale system.
This project will show the technology in action and suggest changes before a full-scale project.
Demonstration projects would treat about 250,000 to 1,000,000 gallons per day.
The projects must verify capital and operation and maintenance costs for full-scale projects and result in information needed to design, construct, and test full-scale projects.
Examples include, but are not limited to membrane bioreactors, innovative membrane test beds for seawater desalination, dewvaporation, and clathrate desalination.
This agreement will last three years or less, with Federal funds up to $1,000,000 for the three-year agreement.
As with pilot plants, awards are usually from other successful research; however, any researcher may submit a proposal.
Any responsible source, including individuals, academic institutions, commercial or industrial organizations, private entities, public entities (including state and local), or Indian Tribal Governments may submit a pre-proposal which Reclamation will consider.
However, Federal agencies and foreign entities (other than binational research foundations and inter-university research programs established by the United States and Mexico) are not eligible for funding.
Two fiscal year 2002 DWPR pre-proposal solicitation packages were posted in the Commerce Business Daily on February 6, 2002.
The pre-proposal packages may be obtained by fax (720) 544-4571.
They may also be downloaded at Reclamation's Acquisitions and Assistance Management Services web site at www.usbr.gov/mso/aamd/.
Telephone requests will not be honored.
When preparing proposals, refer to either or both
(1) task areas A, C, E, F, and G for research and studies, and pilot-scale systems, or
(2) task area I for demonstration projects.
Pre-proposals must be submitted in accordance with the pre-proposal package instructions and must not be more than six pages.
Pre-proposals are due no later than March 31, 2002.
Partners must be willing to cost-share 50 percent or more of the project cost through cash or in-kind contributions from the offeror or third party non-Federal participants.
Cost-sharing is not mandatory from academic institutions but is strongly encouraged.
Those providing additional cost-share will be given greater consideration.
No profit or fee will be allowed.
Research partners will retain patent rights for any developments in accordance with the solicitation's provisions.
Pre-proposals will be reviewed for overall scientific and/or technical merit, potential contributions to the DWPR program objectives, qualifications of the proposer, and reasonableness of the estimated project costs.
Meritorious pre-proposers will be encouraged to submit a full proposal.
Submitting pre-proposals are not mandatory; however, Reclamation urges offerors to do so to benefit from the initial pre-proposal screening process.
Solicitation packages for the full proposals will be issued on or about April 30, 2002, with a due date of approximately 45 days after issuance.

New York Times contributor blogs about cars and other interesting ways of getting around.
In praise of American cars
Once painfully uncompetitive, the U.S.-made automobile is clawing its way back with good-looking designs, attention to detail, and even respectable fuel economy. At GM, an unlikely hero named Bob Lutz gets at least some of the credit.
Thu, Dec 08, 2011 at 12:11 PM
STAR LACROSSE? Buick's mild hybrid, with my little Honda behind. (Photo: Jim Motavalli)
My test car, a 2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist (making it a mild hybrid), is as good a place as any to gut-check the mettle of that much-maligned entity, the American automobile. Let's go back 20 years. Taken together, it was indeed pretty dispiriting: the rusting hulk of de-industrializing Detroit, the clueless and increasingly bankrupt automakers, and their sub-standard, built-by-bean-counters gas guzzlers, trumped in every possible category by Japan and Germany.
But that was then. Like the prospect of being shot in the morning, bankruptcy court is a great way to concentrate the mind. Even before that—starting in the mid-1990s—the Detroit automakers were starting to build good automobiles again, but it took reformers like Alan Mulally and Bob Lutz to go through the entire product lines.
I know Lutz is the quintessential auto insider, who never met a muscle car or SUV he didn't like. And his views on the environment would win him pride of place at a Fox News picnic. But he contains paradoxes—he's also known as the father of the Chevy Volt (at left). And he's got a thing about quality that stood him well during his most recent stint at GM, as vice chairman. His book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters hammers the point relentlessly—he spent as much time as possible in the trenches, confronting the "good enough" mindset and pointing out how Lexus and Audi get it right with panel gaps and quality materials. And he proved it was cost effective.
Ed Welburn, the head of design at GM, says, "Cars like the Malibu, the Buick LaCrosse, and the Cadillac CTS are successful because they look and feel the way great cars should look and feel, and he was the one who turned the thinking of the company in that direction—to not reduce everything to cost analysis." Lutz told Popular Mechanics in his "exit interview," "The thinking I brought here was this: If we can put $1,000 more goodness in each vehicle, and reduce the incentive spent from $4,000 a car to $2,000, we are $1,000 per car ahead. And that is in effect what happened."
Indeed it did. The four-cylinder LaCrosse I'm driving just feels right, from the high-quality materials in the interior to the narrow, evenly spaced panel gaps (see photo at right, Lutz was a stickler for gaps). Despite the absence of a V-8, there's plenty of creamy power when you need it, and the car is as quiet as Herman Cain's campaign headquarters.
The good news is that eAssist is standard in the LaCrosse—you don't have to buy "the hybrid version." This car is part of the belated recognition by Detroit that Americans care about fuel economy. This is a big luxury sedan with lots of room for six-footers, but it gets 25 mpg in the city and 36 on the highway. The LaCrosse with eAssist, which went on sale in August, does its magic with an on-board lithium-ion battery pack (pioneered by GM for the Volt), a motor generator that provides up to 15 horsepower of electric boost, and start-stop technology so it saves fuel at traffic lights. And don't forget the six-speed transmission.
Plus, the LaCrosse looks like the Lexus that Toyota never built. Styling for the most conservative citizen of Oshkosh is out. But there's lots more that GM can do. At 3,835 pounds, the LaCrosse is no lightweight, and the company should take a page from the BMW playbook and find ways to use composites so its hybrid and electric drivetrains don't have so much poundage to push around. It's also pretty pricey, considering it's not a full hybrid--$36,685 as tested, including a $1,345 audio system (which should be standard). I can buy a nice 50-mpg Prius starting around $23,000.
I sat in the LaCrosse's cockpit and tried to pretend I was Bob Lutz. I think he'd like the even stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the natural way that the padded dash is integrated into the dashboard. None of it looks cheap. He'd probably want to narrow the door-to-interior gaps, though. And he'd nod with approval at the way the auto-stop feature works—not nearly as clunky as on early GM vehicles (such as the Silverado Hybrid).
Would I buy one? Not for $36,000. My little Honda has great panel fit, too, and it cost $15,000, with even better fuel economy. But then I'm not a candidate for a big luxury car. Within the category, it's far more competitive than they'd like to admit in Stuttgart, Seoul and Tokyo. We can thank Bob Lutz—the guy who said that global warming is @*$%*@—for that. Let's hope he enjoys watching his swans in country squire retirement. Did I hear that he's consulting with an electric car company?

PORTLAND -- Construction crews are in the middle of project near the Ross Island Bridge which has led to a lot of noise complaints from area residents.
Crews have been working to smooth out lanes and make safety improvements for walkers and bikers. But people living nearby said it has sounded more like an earthquake.
It s loud enough that our home kind of shakes. I close all the windows and I turn on the fan as high as it goes just to kind of balance out the noise, said neighbor Anne Dye.
Officials with the Oregon Department of Transportation said they have taken measures to soften overnight equipment noise.
They also said that the work that has been producing the loud noises was scheduled to end Wednesday night.

Three people were arrested Monday after the Sedalia Police Department�s STING Unit found drugs, a rifle and $17,000 cash at a Sedalia home.
At 3:09 p.m., the STING Unit, along with other Sedalia Police Department officers and detectives, served a search warrant to a home at 603 E. 11th St. The warrant was issued for methamphetamine and marijuana.
During the search, officers found more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, with a street value of $5,000, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, digital scales, an SKS assault rifle and packaging materials, according to a Sedalia Police Department report. Officers also seized $17,000 in cash.
No one was in the home at the time the warrant was served. Three people were later arrested.
Russell N. Livengood, 49, and Priscilla A. Yunt, 66, were arrested on charges of drug trafficking, manufacturing a controlled substance within 2,000 feet of a school, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, possession with the intent to use drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.8 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by CA Great cushion but run small Love the Adidas boost line of shoes! Feel like your running on memory foam. Amazing cushion with great support. The only thing I notice is that the pink version seem to run a bit small. I wears 10 in the neon yellow shoes but had to go up to an 11 on the pink. The model is slightly differnrt and the mareiaa are different, (that may be why?) but I do LOVE these shoes and won't run without them! September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by mommyof3 I love adidas sneakers over other brands. these are super comfortable. my knee pain has gone away running in these. Love these shoes. No more knee pain. I suffer from chronic knee problems. But the cushioning in these shoes are great. May 11, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by magnificence921 product is not living up to its expectations I have issues with my arches, they tend to hurt after an intense workout. I run outside or on a treadmill, and do zumba 6 days a week. I had expected the response boost midsole technology to absorb more of the impact of my activities and give my arches support. So far, after 2 weeks, my feet hurt and my arches still ache by the end of the day! And even though I went a half size bigger, my toes go numb in these sneakers. Very uncomfortable and on the verge of returning them. February 8, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by tiger1 Not good for running These shoes felt great in the store. Then I tried to run and workout in them. The cushion on the bottom is not level, therefore tilts your foot slightly. They make my ankles sore after extended use. Disappointed, I really wanted them to workout.Going back to Mizuno or Asics! November 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ndear Pretty I have received a lot of compliments on these. They are pretty and very comfortable. Someone else's review said they were too small so I purchased a half size up and they fit fine. Plenty of toe room but not slipping off the heel. Even grandma liked them. October 14, 2014

Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo gets richer as it darkens
By Amy Nicholson
Uptown Theatre, starts Friday
Based on Amanda Foreman's biography of Georgiana Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire, Saul Dibb's costume drama tells how Princess Diana's 18th-century ancestor (played here by Keira Knightley)—a naive ingénue married off in her teens to a fornicating icy stiff (get the parallel?)—grew into a politically sophisticated woman. Cruising lightly over Georgiana's activism, Dibb firmly turns the spotlight on her love life, in which she must come to terms with a ménage à trois at home and a passionate love affair with Charles, Earl of Grey (an incongruously laddish Dominic Cooper), a future prime minister and namesake of the posh tea. But for all its frisky high jinks, brocaded homes, and creamy bosoms, The Duchess is a tragedy about the terrifying vulnerability of even the richest women in a society that deprives them of property rights. As a tale of mature self-sacrifice, the movie would be almost unbearably moving were it not for Knightley's insubstantial performance, which allows her to be fatally upstaged by Ralph Fiennes—who, despite having played many a stiff quite stiffly, has bags of fun here playing Georgiana's husband: a jerk, but also a man of his time who's not oblivious to the happiness of the women in his life.

Bruins GM: I'm wary of free agent market
Marchand, who had 11 goals in the playoffs, was the only one who played in Boston this season. Negotiations have not yet begun on a new deal.
One player who won't be back? Forward Mark Recchi, who retired after winning his third Cup. Chiarelli said he won't try to replace Recchi's leadership in the locker room, but the hope is that the players who remain have grown through their experience this offseason and will fill that role themselves.
"I'm not rushing out to get that person," Chiarelli said. "And that characteristic may be in a forward or a (defenseman) that we have. But I'm also prepared to go without that type of player because I do feel strongly about our group."

Casey Bennetto's Keating! burst into life at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in March 2005. The comic genius of the lyrics, the audacity of the conception, the beat and swing of the music sent its sold-out audiences spinning into the night. The production won all available awards at the Festival and the pattern was repeated in a short five night season at the Sydney Opera House in August 2005 followed by sold-out seasons in Adelaide, Brisbane and Darwin in 2006.
Since then Casey has teamed up with Neil Armfield to make his outlandish and biting musical bigger and better than ever and the show has taken Australia by storm, resulting in a live broadcast on ABC Television in August 2008.
Casey Bennetto's scathingly hilarious lyrics tear through the reign and tragic fall of the Placido Domingo of Australian politics. Part French farce, part Greek tragedy, and all Australian history, "the country soul opera we had to have" transports you back to a time less politically grey as it charts the rise, fall and rise again of an antique clock collector from Bankstown.

Oregon Gives Temporary Permit to Use Flight Control Plus(R) Geese Repellent on Clover Grown for Seed
NEW CASTLE, Del., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ – To combat a growing threat, the Oregon Department of Agriculture has issued a temporary permit to use Flight Control Plus® on clover grown for seed. This product has proved to be an effective deterrent for geese. Flight Control Plus® is a non-lethal gut irritant for geese. When eaten, it results in a learned pattern and has the potential to reduce goose pressures during critical plant growth stages.
The Willamette Valley of Oregon, where most of the country's clover seed is produced, is also in the Pacific Flyway. Historically, large populations of geese used this flyway to migrate to California. However, because of habitat disruption and other factors, many geese no longer make the long journey to California and, instead, overwinter in the Willamette Valley. Increased presence of geese on agricultural lands in Oregon, has resulted in significant crop losses, especially to clover grown for seed.
Spraying fields in which clover is grown for seed with Flight Control Plus® will effectively stop geese from feeding on the crop. For more information about obtaining and using Flight Control Plus® to protect clover grown for seed, contact your local agriculture chemical retailer or county extension agent. To obtain copies of the Flight Control Plus® Section 24(c) Label – SLN OR-090027, MSDS and Introductory Offer/Grower Evaluation Form, go to: www.ArkionLS.com.

FASB Simplifies Rules on Goodwill, Swaps for Private Companies
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Private companies will soon be able to take advantage of simpler accounting for complex swaps transactions and asset valuations after bad acquisitions.
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Leslie Seidman, the former chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, is set to launch a center at Pace University in New York next month aimed at solving practical problems in financial reporting.
Accounting rule makers are set this week to begin their latest round of deliberations on a lease accounting overhaul and aim to have a new rule ready by the end of the first quarter.
But a proposed compromise on how to record leased assets appears to be falling apart as investors and companies have raised concerns it's too complex.
The top U.S. accounting rule maker signaled this week he wants to focus on improving consistency in corporate disclosures, as the U.S. standard setter starts to move in a new direction.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board is wrapping up a decade-long effort to bridge U.S. and international standards. Now Russell Golden, the new FASB chairman, intends to make it easier for investors to compare companies in different sectors with specific financial reporting needs.
A push from privately-held companies for simpler accounting standards could jump-start a plan by U.S. accounting rulemakers to remove some complexity from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
"As we seek to bring a better cost-benefit balance within GAAP for private companies, we're initiating at least potential simplification for all entities from yet another direction," Jeffrey Mechanick, assistant director for Nonpublic Entities at the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board said Monday.
U.S. accounting rule makers are being urged to take up projects that would aim to coordinate and simplify corporate financial statements and overhaul U.S. rules in areas such as hedging, pensions and measurement of intangible assets.
Such accounting topics could be the first major projects the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board takes on following a decade of convergence work with international accounting standard setters.
In the first major speech of his term, the new chairman of the FASB said that he aims to reduce complexity and cut out some of the delays that slow standard-setting, while maintaining a commitment to keep U.S. standards comparable with international rules.
On Friday, Sept. 13th, the comment period will end on sweeping changes to accounting regulations requiring every business to list the value of all leased assets on their balance sheets – from real estate to equipment to technology infrastructure. Despite their looming impact, a recent survey from IBM and CFO Research shows 92% of companies with revenue in excess of $1 billion are not prepared for the changes.

Many big companies are churning out their own performance benchmarks, scrambling to satisfy investors' demands for a window into nearly every aspect of their business. These newfangled metrics—which range from cost per hire to risk for incidence of child labor—can vary from company to company. Standardizing the way they are calculated so investors can make valid comparisons between companies is a big job. And it isn't just for accountants anymore.

U.S. and international accounting rulemakers on Thursday published their revised standard to overhaul lease accounting rules, after the current practices came under attack for letting companies keep too many obligations off balance sheets. The changes are expected to affect nearly all companies around the world, and won't be "popular" by the standard setter's own admission.
"Obviously this standard is not a very popular one," International Accounting Standards Board Chairman Hans Hoogervorst said on a call with reporters on Thursday. "Generally companies like off-balance sheet financing and this is going to put an end to a lot of that."

Penske penalty change follows trend
Although the fines and points penalties NASCAR levied against Penske Racing were upheld on appeal Tuesday, the team scored a significant victory when NASCAR chief appellate officer John Middlebrook trimmed the suspensions of seven key Penske personnel.
Middlebrook, after hearing Penske's final appeal in a three-hour session at the NASCAR Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., cut team and crew suspensions from six points races to two, plus the upcoming Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The team members — crew chiefs Paul Wolfe and Todd Gordon, car chiefs Jerry Kelley and Raymond Fox III, engineers Samuel Stanley and Brian Wilson and competition director Travis Geisler — will miss point races at Darlington and Charlotte, and will return for the Dover race on June 2. The team members have continued to work while the suspensions were under appeal.
The team was penalized for rear-end housing violations at Texas Motor Speedway.
Left intact were penalties of 25 points for the Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano teams and $200,000 in fines.
Although team owner Roger Penske has more-than-adequate employees who can fill in for those on suspension, the fact that the front-line team members will miss only two points races is of major significance as Keselowski seeks a second championship and Logano aims to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Penske said Tuesday the trimming of the suspensions was more important than possible reductions in the point penalties or the fines.
Keselowski is fifth in points and Logano is 18th after 10 races.
Middlebrook's ruling is also significant in areas beyond the immediate positives for the Penske team.
Middlebrook has reduced penalties in five of six appeals he has heard. Particularly after major penalties, it seems virtually certain in the future that teams will use the appeal process to reach Middlebrook's desk.
The Penske appeal was denied last week by a NASCAR appeals panel, the first level of challenge after penalties.
"After looking at all the facts and data and interpretations from the rule book, I have decided to uphold the original fines and points penalties," Middlebrook said in a statement. "However, I have decided to reduce the suspensions of the seven team members involved from six points races and the all-star race to two points races and the all-star race."

A bank is an institution that provides financial service, particularly taking deposits and extending credit.
More Details:
A bank is an institution that provides financial service, particularly taking deposits and extending credit.
Currently the term bank is generally understood as an institution that holds a banking license. Banking licenses are granted by bank regulatory authorities and provide rights to conduct the most fundamental banking services such as accepting deposits and making loans. There are also financial institutions that provide certain banking services without meeting the legal definition of a bank, a so called non-banking financial company.
Banks have a long history, and have influenced economies and politics for centuries.The word bank is derived from the Italian banca, which is derived from German language and means bench. The terms bankrupt and broke are similarly derived from banca rotta, which refers to an out-of-business bank, having its bench physically broken. Money lenders in Northern Italy originally did business in open areas, or big open rooms, with each lender working from his own bench or table.
Traditionally, a bank generates profits from transaction fees on financial services and from the interest it charges for lending. In recent history, with historically low interest rates limiting banks' ability to earn money by lending deposited funds, much of a bank's income is provided by overdraft fees and riskier investments.

continued The cost of moving into the building and much of the renovation work performed inside was kept to a minimum through the use of labor of village employees, said Bennett.
"I can't say enough about the village crew," he said. "We went into this blind, not understanding what it would really take to make this happen and the amount of work they've put in has been amazing."
Bennett estimates the move to the new village office building will be complete within the next few months, though noted the village's core services are already up and running at the new location.
"We're excited about it. It's just going to be a matter of finding things," said Village Clerk Donna Clark, laughing.
The office building is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and may be reached by calling 492-7000

look at the game i played straight after this post, compare to first example game of my post
only difference between position after blacks 56th move in first example game and position after blacks 48th move in my game is: Bishop is on c8 instead of f7. c8 may be a better place, but its still a nasty bishop.
look at the game i played straight after this post, compare to first example game of my post
Ok, apart that he made you a big favour by opening the c file, your opponent screwed up with 48.Bc8 allowing you to "trap" his bishop, putting his king in zugzwang and invading.
In reality the endgame was an easy draw for black.
To prove it, I played from this position:
Against Fritz. Blitz game with 5 minutes per side (even an engine needs a bit of time to calculate stuff). I just places my bishop on f7, moving it to either g8 or e8 to avoid zugzwangs, and using basic opposition principles to not allow the white king to invade.
Eventually Fritz recognized that it was a draw and the evaluation went down to 0.00, and we reached the 50 moves rule.
If *I* can hold a draw against Fritz, this means that white has nothing in the famous "good knight vs bad bishop"
In this concrete position you gave, if *you* can hold a draw against Fritz this means Fritz cant find the win. But the position is a forced win. The GM in example endgame 1, which i gave above, found it.
Win works as follows: Bring wk to a7 and wn to b7 while bk is on c7 and bb on e8.
Black is in Zugzwang. If he plays kc7-c8, white plays ka7-b6, if he plays kc7-c6 white plays ka7-b8. If he plays be8-f7 white plays nb7-d6, forcing bf7-g8 and then white wins like shown by the GM in the example game 1. If he plays be8-a4 white wins with nc5. As shown in the following variations, white is able to bring his king to a7 and his knight to b7. It works because white has a beautiful winning manouvre if black plays ..58. ka7 instead of ..58. bf7. All endpositions of following variations have comments giving evaluation. "+-" means "white wins", "=" means "draw", just in case someone doesnt know.
Concrete Variations:
Having said all that: I agree with you that this endgame is probably a draw if you start earlier (eg. if black doesnt give me the c file), however, white has a lasting slight advantage in my opinion. Thats more than in some other main variations like eg. Najdorf or Berlin Wall. This endgame is quite a passive thing. i would not play it with black, not my favour. But if one knows it well with black it may be a strategy for blitz games, to hope that white doesnt find the best moves in time and starts to play garbage.
well, we just have to wait until this guy gets banned
What are you talking about?
Thank you for the detailed explanation nilshero, I appreciate.
However, I am still not convinced.
You showed me the win, but this depended on white having a reserve tempo with the pawn. If we do the same position but without that tempo:
Then I don't see how white could ever win. We know that the knight can never lose a tempo, so if I keep moving my bishop between f7 and e8 there's never going to be a time when white puts his knight on f4 without me automatically responding Bf7. White would be in zugzwang, not black.
Moreover, in the position in question white already has a really advanced king. There wasn't the need to allow that. Black should have pushed his queenside pawns much earlier in the game (it just makes logical sense: you have a bishop you want to open up the game on general principle). This would have led either to a blockade (making it even harder to penetrate) or to a liquidation where black could have had a much more active king (instead of having it in the last line of defence) or even better, freed his bishop.
I agree with you, and thanks for demonstrating, that it's all lost once white invades. Just like a king and pawn ending, king invasion is decisive.
don't worry about faceing the french. It's really easy to play against
I don´t know the name of this system.
Lack of imagination, perhaps? I am 101% sure that this is a very easy win for white.
Dvoretsky in "Secrets of Chess Training" deals with a few similar positions, where white has a much, much harder time, and still is able to find a forced win for him.
Work this out more carefully, and I'm sure you will find out that white wins without any real trouble.
This is one of the funniest things I have ever read. At least chess related, anyway; I would hope to think I am not that hopeless a nerd!
Sounds like a fun challenge.
Read the book "Fighting the french a new concept.
It's just e4-e6 d4-d5 Nd2 and Bd3 c3 Nf3 and o-o in the next moves.
i checked this endgame again.
First, my analysis in my previous post contains a mistake: The endposition of variation 58...be8! (idea 59...ba4!) is a draw, not a win, according to Shredderchess endgame database.
But there is a win in the endgame, with and without extra tempo. Let me first show you three positions:
Position 1 (white wins):If black to move, he has to play bg8. Then white plays kb5-c6 and wins. If white to move he triangles: kb5 be8+ kb4! bf7 (no time for ..kb6) ka5!
Position 2 (white wins):White plays nb7, idea nd6. Leave it to you to figure out the win. If black answers ..be8, white plays ka7! and we have reached the diagram of my previous post.
Position 3 (white wins):If black to move, it is trivial. White can enter rank six with his king. If white to move, he can reach position 1 or 2. See Variations.
Question is, can Position 3 be reached? It can, with extratempo ...
... and without extratempo:
Which leads to the conclusion that both positions are won.
I had much fun analyzing this, hope, you have too
I think that is the Reti gambit. Johansson wrote a book on it, though I have never looked into it.
Thanks for the name, I was checking some games and for some reason there are many games from greek players from the 90s. The gambit looks playable.
Sorry that I can't tell haha, but could you please tell me why you think its funny? And you aren't hopeless!
It just seems like a really silly thing to say. The only lines (of any opening) I find easy to play against are those where the opponent makes it easy. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you have the French defense all figured out. It could happen.
I once read somewhere that it's Black that chooses the opening. If so, how are you to "avoid" an opening? It's not as if White has any control how Black responds to 1.e4
To avoid the French play the following
Please stop misleading members of this website Jion_Wansu.
After playing 1.e4 e6 , don't play 2.d4 on your second move or at all so you can avoid the French defense set up by Black.

My dinosaur's name is Rainbowasaurus. My dinosaur eats a rainbow gardenia. They are found in Toronto. I named my dinosaur a Rainbowasaurus because she is colourful, a stand-out and believes in the story of Noah's Ark. My dinosaur likes to be with her friends and likes to make beaded jewellery. It helps her make friends and learn the colours easier.

His name is MegaRex. MegaRex is a cross between a T-Rex and a Carnataur. Super Power: Really strong and able to detect predators with his green power source in his chest. When a switch is turned on it makes the claws shoot out of his hands. The green stripes are his power source. The volcano's lava will hurt other dinosaurs but MegaRex has coils of wire on his very long legs that are not hurt by the lava. Because his legs are so tall the lava never reaches his power source. His eyes are green like the power source that provides his energy.

This Swordosauras has metal swords for hands and microscopic spikes all over his skin. He's an omnivore; his favourite food is other dinosaurs, but he can eat trees. He's taller than a tree, and he has good eyesight. He's a billion times bigger than a person (this is estimation.) His favourite activity is hopping on his one foot, which he thinks is very fun.

This dinosaur's name is Mimo. He has spikes under him; the spikes help him fight, and you can't tell which are the legs. He likes to eat leaves and meat.
