NORMAL — Joanne Sharon Bowker Bultemeier, 75, East Peoria, died Saturday (Nov. 30, 2013) at East Peoria.
Joanne was born Feb. 10, 1938, and was a woman of great faith and grace. She was deeply devoted to prayer and service. She was more than a pastor's wife, to her husband, David Bultemeier. For more than 50 years, she was a partner in ministry in the many United Methodist churches they served.
Joanne was an inspired leader, while she maintained a humble servant's heart. She was instrumental in forming Walk to Emmaus communities in Bloomington-Normal and in the Quad Cities. She also participated in prison ministry.
She held an associate of arts degree from Illinois Central College and other continuing education to prepare her for her ministry as choir director.
Joanne held many jobs in education and in church music. She was a loving teacher to children and adults alike. Joanne was a published author, poet and composer. Her children, Kathy Rosser, Lori Bultemeier and Michael (Becky) Bultemeier, will continue her legacy of love of God, family and church.
Joanne dearly loved her grandchildren, Libby (Spencer) Ingraham, Lauren Rosser and Drake Bultemeier. She also cherished her great-grandson, James Odin Ingraham.
Visitations will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday and from 10 to 10:30 a.m. Friday at Calvary United Methodist Church, Normal. Her funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday at Normal Calvary, with the Rev. Gary Bass and the Rev. C. William Zander officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Normal Calvary United Methodist Church, East Peoria Willow Hill United Methodist Church and Christian Life Fund at the Baby Fold in Normal.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.thewiltonmortuary.com.

DOE IG questions renewables office's hiring, contracting
Tuesday - 9/28/2010, 2:53pm EDT
The Department of Energy's inspector general said DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy may have improperly hired a senior contract official and allowed officials to influence hiring by contractors, The New York Times reports.
Under the stimulus law, the renewable office's budget soared, as did its need for qualified employees to hand out the billions of dollars in stimulus funds for clean energy projects.
The DOE IG report points to the hiring of one employee, a selecting official. This official was preselected for the position and apparently knew about the job before the public, according to the DOE IG report. After he was hired, the official performed government functions before becoming a federal employee.
The investigation also uncovered a "disturbing practice" where EERE officials asked contractors to hire specific individuals for the department's contracts.

Pure Med Spa CEO Jeff Nourse Announces The Ultimate Proven Slimming Treatment – LipoEase – with Proven Results to Reshape Your Figure
Pure Med Spa, a med spa company based in Toronto, announces the innovative service LipoEase, an effective treatment to solve cellulite and fat problems.
Toronto, Mississauga, Woodbridge, Burlington (PRWEB) July 20, 2012
"LIPOEASE is a really effective system to solve fat and cellulite problems, vascularising the tissues," says Jeff Nourse. This equipment uses the most recent expertise in the field of Ultra Sound with acavitation effect. "Ultrasonic cavitation is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for cellulite and body slimming, also known as localized adiposity", – explains Pure Med Spa CEO, Mr.Nourse. It is a very new treatment in beauty industry that first appeared in Milan just a few years ago.
How does it work, you may ask? – A machine is placed on the skin in an affected area and ultrasound is used to form bubbles in the trapped fat. The fat fragments into triglycerides and these are then naturally expelled through the urine.
Any area on the body with fat deposits can be treated, including the face, legs, abdomen, arms and buttocks. "The benefits of this treatment can be seen in the significant reduction of cellulite and localized fat deposits with an overall result of a much firmer and softer appearance," comments Jeff Nourse. "And, best of all, it is completely safe and non-invasive."
Jeff Nourse´s focus on quality has made Pure Med Spa one of the most trusted names in the industry. For more information please call us at 416.487.7848 or email us at pr(at)purelaser(dot)com. For a List of services we offer please visit our website http://www.purelaser.com

Tunis, — The reform of the public contract system was at the centre of a workshop held, Thursday, in Tunis.
The meeting also eyed new cooperation avenues in public procurement. It was attended by representatives of national structures and international sponsors, such as the African Development Bank, the World Bank and Japan International Cooperation Agency.
The considered overhaul is aimed at fostering the role of public contracts in achieving development objectives, set by the government, by means of speeding up works of public projects and relaxing procedures for small- and medium-sized enterprises and small-and medium-sized industries, Auditor General at the High Authority for Public Procurement (HICOP) Khaled Johmani told TAP.
The reforms seek to ensure efficient public purchases at a good price-quality ratio and uphold good governance by introducing a new code of conduct in public contracting.
The creation of the National Council for Public Procurement and HICOP fall in line with the reorganisation of the various structures concerned with public contracts, Johmani pointed up.
The "Tunisian e-procurement system" (TUNEPS) came as a greater push; the system made available online encourages the creation of jobs and stimulates investment, the official indicated.
The Decree n°2014-1039 dated March 13, 2014, reinforced the legal instruments employed to guarantee the independence of public procurement for the sake of the proper implementation of public projects, he added.

Everyone Has the Right
Everyone Has the Right was a scheme iceandfire ran for five years in conjunction with Amnesty International UK to encourage writers exploring human rights stories.
We are no longer accepting submissions for this scheme due to limited capacity and funding. We have decided to work more closely and meaningfully with new writers through our Artist-in-Residence programme and the BBC Performing Arts Fellowship.
If you're a new/unrepresented playwright, please take a look at Play Submissions Helper which can point you towards other opportunities.
Jan Goodman in 'One Hour Eighteen Minutes'
"Truth in drama is forever elusive. You never quite find it but the search for it is compulsive. The search is clearly what drives the endeavour. The search is your task."
Harold Pinter, Nobel Prize for Literature acceptance speech, 2005
To be included in this scheme, plays had to examine human rights issues as a central and deliberate theme. We did not consider plays, for example, that dealt with issues of personal freedoms without placing them in a wider political and social context, or where the responsibility for the oppression does not lie with the state or related powers.
Plays that were not written with an express mission to explore human rights were not accepted for this scheme.
See more about what makes a human rights story here
If the play met the Everyone Has the Right criteria, and if a member of the ice&fire script-reading team felt it was a play with the potential to be a successful and dynamic production, the writer received feedback in terms of plot, dialogue, characterisation and its overall effectiveness as a piece of theatre.
David Mildon in 'One Hour Eighteen Minutes'
Constructive, to the point, thorough, and above all encouraging and inspiring: many thanks, indeed.'
– Response from a writer to our feedback
Some of the writers receiving feedback were then invited to work with ice&fire to develop their plays towards production, receiving one-to-one dramaturgical support and facilitated script workshops with other writers in the scheme.
The best plays received professional rehearsed readings at a partner theatre, or at Amnesty International UK's central London Human Rights Action Centre. Many of these plays were then picked up for professional productions at some of London's most prestigious venues.
I submitted my play S-27 to Everyone Has the Right because it seemed like an appropriate scheme to enter because of iceandfire's reputation and the link to Amnesty. Being selected has completely changed my life. As a writer, it validated what I was trying to explore artistically and politically in my work at the time. In terms of my career, it established me as an up and coming writer, both in the UK and internationally. I was taken on by an agent as a result of winning the competition. At the reading I was approached by the director Steve Keyworth, who then directed the play at the Finborough in 2009. The play was produced in Australia in 2010, as a result of connections established through iceandfire. The play is going to have a production in Toronto in 2012. I feel that the award and its association with Amnesty has been particularly helpful in promoting the play internationally.- Sarah Grochala, Playwright

The IRS has published Notice 2014-19 and related FAQs regarding the application of the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor and Rev. Ruling 2013-17 to qualified retirement plans. All retirement plans should be reviewed for operational compliance with the guidance and to determine if amendments are needed. In this advisory we summarize the key components of this guidance, and the steps that retirement plan sponsors must take to ensure compliance.1
The key guidance in Notice 2014-19 is as follows:
Plan sponsors should review the definition of "spouse" in their qualified plans (and other plans, such as 403(b) plans, and health and welfare plans), and prepare plan amendments where necessary. In addition, the qualified plan's practice should be reviewed to ensure that same-sex spouses have been treated the same as opposite-sex spouses since June 26, 2013. If not, appropriate corrective action must be taken.
Finally, in Washington state, plan sponsors should introduce procedures to ensure that they are aware of any same-sex registered domestic partnerships that will be automatically converted into marriage as of June 30, 2014. These new spouses will be entitled to all spousal benefits under an employer's plans.
1 Refer to our earlier advisories on the Windsor decision and Rev. Ruling 2013-17 for more background information.

15 Reviews
We had a really wonderful stay at Historias. It's walking distance from everything, if you don't mind the exercise and steep hills. We stayed there for 5 nights and never took a taxi. The breakfast was always good. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They will help you book all your tours and they know which ones are the best. They strongly suggested the Santamaria Night Tour and it was excellent. If we ever find ourselves in Monteverde again we will definitely be staying at Historias lodge.
The check in was a little difficult because Erick apparently handles several locations, and our confirmation listed the wrong one. However, once this was straightened out, we enjoyed staying at Monte Verde Villa Lodge with Heiner and Ana. They were very helpful and friendly. They arranged transportation and provided good breakfasts. During the day they offered coffee whenever we stopped at the office. The night before we left on the early morning bus, they even brought a coffee pot ready to turn on when we woke up, and some sandwiches. We stayed in the large bedroom above the office which was clean and comfortable. The lodge itself is within walking distance from the center of Santa Elena. We would be happy to stay with them again if we return to Monte Verde.
Great family run lodge! Felt completely safe and welcomed! This location is close to everything, very convenient! Delicious breakfast!
We had a wonderful experience here. It's a small, family run hotel and they go above and beyond in customer service. The rooms were comfortable and clean and we felt very safe.
I would definitely stay there again!
Historias Lodge was a great place to stay! It is close to the center of Santa Elena(5 minute walk) and the cloud forest (10 minute drive). The staff is extremely nice, friendly and helpful!
I will certainly return and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys cleanly rooms, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere!
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was made to order and was delicious. The parking is secure within a large gate though you may need to make arrangements to have the gate opened if you plan to arrive/return after 9 pm. Our room towards the back of the lodge (beyond the rooms shown in the main images) was huge with an enormous tub/shower. There is not much of a view from the rooms, but you should get that during the day while you explore Monteverde. Air conditioning and heat is not needed in Monteverde so not having it is not inconvenient.
You do not go to Monte rede for 5 star accommodations, you go for the beautiful views and unique experiences. There are about 11 miles of very slow driving, bumpy roads, but the cloud forest. Ian Salvadore tours was the best!
The Historias Lodge was very comfortable, friendly, clean and a great breakfast. I would definitely stay there again.

Endorsements & Excerpts
"This book is a masterpiece, and I do not say that lightly."
—Martin Holdt
Click for all endorsements
"This book is a masterpiece, and I do not say that lightly. Since Octavius Winslow wrote his magnificent book Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in The Soul in 1841, not much has seen the light of day on the vital subject of backsliding to which every believer is prone and from which every child of God needs deliverance. This excellent work, so helpfully spiced with quotations from the Puritans, needs to be read over and over again. I heartily commend it."
—Martin Holdt is the Pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. He is also the editor of Reformation Africa South.
"Solidly written in the vein of older classics on this subject by authors like Richard Sibbes and Andrew Fulller, this new work by Dr. Beeke provides a helpful approach to what is a perennial problem for the church. For inevitably there are wounded in the spiritual war in which we are engaged, and this work outlines the best means of bringing balm and healing to their souls. Highly recommended."
—Michael Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality; Director, The Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Jonathan Edwards: The Holy Spirit in Revival, The God Who Draws Near: An Introduction to Biblical Spirituality, and Rediscovering the Church Fathers: Who They Were and How They Shaped the Church.
"The strength and beauty of Getting Back in the Race is that Joel Beeke's characteristic clarity, biblical fidelity, and unflinching care as to detail and pastoral wisdom is obvious on every page. This book is an honest and sometimes chilling exposition of the seriousness of backsliding; at the same time, it unfailingly breathes the air of grace and hope. Timely and judicious, a book to read, re-read."
—Derek W. H. Thomas, Minister of Preaching and Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC; Distinguished Visiting Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Editorial Director, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
"`Don't settle for being a spiritual shrimp,' argues Dr. Beeke. The pity is that too many modern Christians are opting for shrimpishly small degrees of grace. Indwelling sin drags the careless believer down into guilty backsliding. This book is a prescription for the believer who feels his guilt. Here is medicine from the Bible ornamented with choice quotations from the great Puritans. These are healing fountains for backslidden saints."
—Maurice Roberts, Minister of Greyfriars Congregation, Inverness, Scotland; author of numerous books, and former editor of Banner of Truth magazine.
"Getting Back in the Race is a thorough treatment of the difficult subject of backsliding. It bears all the classic hallmarks of Joel Beeke's writings: it is thoroughly scriptural, warmly pastoral, saturated with the best of Puritan wisdom and relevant for all Christians. Any of us may drop out of the race; Joel Beeke will help us prevent that happening by showing why it does happen and how it can be overcome. May this book help us to stay the course all the way to the finishing line!"
—Iain D. Campbell, Free Church of Scotland
"Once again Christian believers, young and old, are indebted to Joel Beeke. Dr. Beeke writes on a subject we hear much too little about, backsliding, and does so with biblical clarity, theological insight, yet always with a pastor's heart. Only too easily can even well-taught Christians find their hearts growing cold and their zeal for Christ's honor flagging. Dr. Beeke, like the spiritual physician he is, exposes to us the reasons why backsliding happens and how God in His grace maps out for us the way back to spiritual health. This is a book for all Christians, certainly not only for those who are in the sad state of backsliding. Prevention is always better than cure. Relevant biblical passages abound and choice quotes from the history of the church illuminate the text. This is a book every Christian should read and every pastor commend."
—Rev. Ian Hamilton
"In this book, Joel R. Beeke deals with an issue that has plagued the people of God throughout church history until now. He answers questions such as: what is spiritual backsliding, what is the difference between a backsliding Christian and a hypocrite who was never a Christian, what are the causes of spiritual backsliding, what are the symptoms of spiritual decline, why is backsliding so serious, what is the cure for spiritual backsliding, how can we prevent spiritual backsliding, and how can a vital relationship with Christ prevent spiritual backsliding? Included in the book are many practical illustrations and suggestions for personal application. Read this book and apply its teachings. You'll be grateful you did."

Millions of rural and urban citizens in China suffer from health problems and limits to economic development due to contamination or shortages of water and air pollution from coal.

Red vert, you see me slide
from Jay Z (Ft. Rick Ross) – FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt Lyrics on Genius
"Vert" is short for convertible. Rick Ross is probably referencing his 1973 Chevy Impala convertible seen in the "Don't Like (Remix)" and "Love Sosa (Remix)" videos. Being that its a vert you can see who is in it easily. You see him sliding in his red vert.

Parody of rom-coms in theaters Wednesday
To break the ice with Aiza Seguerra, the director confessed that she was his kiddie crush
More News from Bayani San Diego Jr.
Filmmaker Ian del Carmen describes his debut movie as "antirom-com."
In a nutshell, "Bad Romance" is a parody of raging trends in mainstream movies with a Quentin Tarantino-esque twist, said Del Carmen.
Screenwriter Irvin Malcolm agreed, adding that he is "allergic to formulaic romcoms and adultery drama flicks," the women-centered genres that are currently dominating the local box office.
(The film has award-winning scriptwriter Ricky Lee as creative consultant.)
Malcolm said he couldn't understand why "women are always depicted as desirous of or dependent on men" in popular movies.
"Bad Romance" aspires to turn those stereotypical depictions on their heads.
Del Carmen explained: "It's the kind of story I've always wanted to direct as a feature film. I'm a Tarantino fan. Some of the bloody and gory scenes in my movie were inspired by his works: 'Reservoir Dogs,' 'Kill Bill' and 'Inglourious Basterds.'"
In shooting the indie film, Del Carmen collaborated with Daniel Anaya, a Mexican-American cinematographer who previously worked in the camera departments of Robert Rodriguez's "From Dusk Till Dawn" (which had Tarantino as scriptwriter and actor) and James Cameron's "Titanic."
In keeping with its antiromance theme, the film's hunky hero was named Sam Lloyd Pascual—in honor of rom-com stars Sam Milby, John Lloyd Cruz and Piolo Pascual.
At first, Del Carmen planned to hire Cruz and take the self-reflexive route of Spike Jonze's "Being John Malkovich."
Alas, Cruz was simply too busy.
In the end, newcomer Francis Lopez, Mr. Philippines 2011, landed the part.
Del Carmen also had problems in casting his leading lady after the original choice, Bangs Garcia, dropped out because of her hectic schedule.
Luckily, Mercedes Cabral, who has the same manager (Shandii Bacolod) as Lopez, got hold of the script and was impressed.
For the rest of the cast, Del Carmen tapped former colleagues from ABS-CBN, where he worked as writer-director in shows like "Sharon," "Pinoy Big Brother," and "Magandang Tanghali Bayan," among others.
Friends' support
"Archie Alemania, Jayson Gainza and Ogie Diaz were all game. They wanted to support my first movie as director," Del Carmen said.
Friendships obviously served Del Carmen well. "Another friend, CNBC meteorologist Todd Gross, consented to play himself in my film."
Another casting coup is Janelle Manahan, witness (and survivor) in the brutal slaying of boyfriend Ram Revilla, who returns to the screen in this film. "It's her first movie after the incident. Janelle felt comfortable on the set. She said that since I'm her cousin, she trusts me completely."
Del Carmen was also able to cast 1980s heartthrob Rey "PJ" Abellana in a pivotal part, through another pal and second unit director Sigfreid Barros Sanchez. "Actors from the 1970s and 1980s like PJ are a different breed. They are thoroughly professional. They can shed a single teardrop on cue."
1980s icon
Del Carmen somehow convinced another 1980s icon, former child sensation Aiza Seguerra, to portray an unconventional character—a Goth detective.
The debuting director admitted that he initially felt ill at ease on the set, particularly with actors he met for the first time.
To break the ice with Seguerra, he confessed to her that she was his crush as a kid.
Seguerra's reaction was classic: "Yuck!"
"Bad Romance" opens April 10 in Metro Manila.
"We also plan to release it in the provinces and hopefully abroad," he said. "Being an indie film, marketing and distribution can be difficult. We can't afford to place ads on television."
He turned to the Internet instead.
"Our trailers are on Facebook and YouTube. We also promote on Twitter and other social networking sites," he said. "Also, 'Bad Romance' will be the first film to be shown worldwide through our new online cinema … GrindhouseTheater.com."

Home made Racquet holder
Paint is ugly, but it worked out really well.
I used PVC piping from HDepot, cut them to size fitted them with T-connectors and a couple of elbows.
Cost less than 16 dollars and works really well.
I used some old grips and taped them a long the top so the racquets wouldn't torque and drop.
that is a great idea
what a great and well-timed post. i was just thinking about how to organize my racquets:)all 500+ of them
post up the instructions/dimensions. Looks like 1 inch pipe?
I'll huff some pvc glue, no problem.
looks nice and easy enough, but is there anything you might change?
Put wheels on it... Attach a dog leash to it and show up to matches with one in tow... :lol:
Very nice job, man. Well done.
Yes it was 1 inch pvc.
Anything I would change?
after completion, I was thinking I could put another layer to create a shelf of sorts.. maybe for strings, accessories. you could put a shelf board on.l
Yeah, the one thing that had a problem was the racquets torquing, but I kind of solved that with the grips across the top. It had enough tackiness to stop the racquet from sliding.
My other thought was to have the top bars a series of 'T" fittings accross it down the length of the holder, there by having a natural stop of Torquing. I kind of dismissed that as I wanted the racquet to be able to slide.
But thanks.. appreciate the input.
I have a lot of tennis shoes.. I thought this would be a perfect idea for your tennis shoe.. shoe rack.
Great job. I want one!
you could cut notches into the top PVC rails to stop the torquing/sliding. each racquet would have a 'slot'. obviously with this method, you wouldn't be able to freely slide the racquets back and forth.
lwto, nice job. Would be great if you had a 'free' source of some of the lengths(scraps, leftovers, etc). Any plumbers in the family or neighborhood? ;)
Well thanks.
The material I think cost less than 15 dollars I think so it wouldn't put you out much.
I just got like 8 pieces of pre cut 3' tubbing
a bag of t's and elbows.
I didn't even glue it.
you will notice if you look carefully, the base width is probably about and inch and a half wider than the top.
I used the same cut outs for the cross pieces but just jammed the top cross holds into the elbows further.
Here is thread on this subject. Too bad the pictures have been taken down. http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showt...90#post3542890
I've always wanted a folding racket stand with a Babolat logo, but they won't sell me one. According to the Babolat Rep, they only give them to account holder clients.
Thanks Lakers.. no pic what the point?
you have 500+ rackets?????????
I met a guy that had about 500 classic rackets. They were stuffed in all kinds of drawers and hanging about in his garage.
For padding, use pipe insulation. It's tube-shaped, and has a slit up one side so it fits around a pipe. It's easy to cut to length too.

The talented team at the Bachelor Farmer, assembled by brothers and co-owners Eric and Andrew Dayton, is bringing the simple sophistication of clean flavors and complex textures--like sour and chewy dried cherries, creamy and earthy duck liver pâté, and ripe, salty pistachios--and making them a huge part of a re-imagined smorgasbord experience. Chef Paul Berglund has also managed to breathe new life into the cuisine that many Minnesotans were first introduced to by their Scandinavian grandmothers. Cured salmon, softly spiced meatballs made with milk-soaked breadcrumbs and begging to be dunked in tart lingonberry sauce, briny pickled herring, venison, and even roasted beets are prepared in a way that makes you feel as though you're appreciating them for the first time. It will require patience and planning to snag a table, but sometimes throwing caution to the wind pays off. Even if it doesn't, you couldn't ask for a better place to bide your time than at the adjoining Marvel Bar.

After witnessing tensed moments for almost a week, the life in riot affected pockets of Pune is coming back to normal, but the life of 40-year-old Vasant Rupnar has come to a standstill.
Runpar was hit by a stone, which was thrown hurled on a private bus, while he was travelling on May 31.The incident took place on late night on May 31, following the derogatory posts regarding Shivaji Maharaj and Bal Thackeray, violence had irrupted in parts of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad.
The stone pelting had started in Chinchwad, Bhosari areas and it spread in others parts including Hadapsar, Sinhagad Road, Yerawada and Kothrud.
Unknowing about the violence in Pune, Rupnar, had just boarded a bus at 10.30 pm from Andheri and was on his way to Pune. Nilesh Dhumal, Rupnar's friend said, " When the bus reached near Katraj, agitated mob stopped their bus at Katraj at 1 am and began stone pelting, seriously injuring a few passengers including Rupnar who was quickly taken to a private hospital on Sinhagad Road. As Rupnar's family is not financially strong to bear the medical expenses, he was first shifted Kashibai Navale hospital on the same night and later he was shifted to his native place in Solapur."
A week has passed since the incident, Rupnar is still critical and is battling for life in a civil hospital in Solapur. " We are waiting for the authorities to take some action against the culprits. Police officers from Bharati Vidyapeeth have paid a visit but there's no word about financial compensation," said Dhumal.A complaint has been lodged by a family member in Haveli police station.

Documents detail Exxon's Yellowstone response
LAUREL, Mont. Federal documents show it took Exxon Mobil nearly twice as long as it publicly disclosed to fully seal a pipeline that spilled roughly 1,000 barrels of crude oil into the Yellowstone River.
Details about the company's response to the Montana pipeline burst emerged late Tuesday as the Department of Transportation ordered the company bury the duct deeper beneath the riverbed, where it is buried 5 to 8 feet underground to deliver 40,000 barrels of oil a day to a refinery in Billings.
The federal agency's records indicate the pipeline was not fully shut down for 56 minutes after the break occurred Friday near Laurel. That's longer than the 30 minutes that company officials claimed Tuesday in a briefing with federal officials and Gov. Brian Schweitzer.
An Exxon Mobil spokesman said the longer time span was based on information provided to the agency by the company and the discrepancy might have come about because Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing was speaking without any notes in front of him when he addressed Schweitzer.
"Clearly our communication with the regulator (DOT) is the one that we've got precision on," spokesman Alan Jeffers said.
It was not the first time the company offered clarification of its response and assessment of the spill. A day earlier, the company acknowledged under political pressure that the leak's impact could extend far beyond a 10-mile stretch of the river it initially said was the most affected area. The company had earlier downplayed government officials' assertions that damage was spread over dozens of miles.
The governor toured the area Tuesday as the waterway rose above flood stage and stoked fears that surging currents could push crude into undamaged areas and back channels vital to the river's prized fishery. Conditions have hampered efforts to find the cause of the break.
The river has been flowing too swiftly for crews to reach some oiled areas, and forecasters said mountain snowmelt was adding to high water levels. Officials speculated that the surge may push oil into areas that haven't yet been damaged.
Most observations have been made through aerial flights.
A few miles downriver from the broken pipe, homeowner Robert Castleberry said he had been out of his house since Saturday because of dangerous fumes from oil that the river pushed across his yard and into the crawlspace beneath his house.
Castleberry's wife suffers from heart disease and the fumes gave her difficulty breathing, he said. While he appreciated the company promising to cover the couple's immediate expenses, the retired fuel truck driver was doubtful workers would be able to clean up the black, gooey film that laced through the underbrush along the river.
"Exxon's been nothing but 100 percent with us," he said. "But when you get into brush that thick, that's going to be virtually impossible to clean."
Company and federal officials said they have only seen oil about 25 miles downstream from the site of the break near Laurel. But Schweitzer said he believes some has traveled hundreds of miles to North Dakota.

Still in Peril
Washington, D.C., remembers the occupied churches of Cyprus.
12:00 AM, Jul 29, 2009 • By KATHERINE EASTLAND
Bain exhorted the audience to visit the TRNC, which she defended as a legitimate state, and to see for themselves that the panel was not speaking truthfully about cultural property. The second speaker accused the panel of being one-sided and having "selective amnesia," and then stated that the Republic of Cyprus was not "not as rosy" as the panel had suggested. During the event, a protestor walked in circles outside in the rain with a red-and-white flag of the TRNC draped over his shoulders. He blared a blue foghorn and made pronouncements against the Hudson Institute.
To those who allege that military occupation is not happening in Turkey, Jansen said, "It seems like occupation. It looks like occupation. It just might be occupation." To those who allege the pictures of ruined churches and looted artifacts shown at the event are fabricated, Chotzakoglou cited that they were taken by U.S. Congress members and others on the Commission panel (such as McNamara himself) when they were preparing the report. And to those, such as Kiziltan, who passionately believe that this issue of cultural property should be accurately presented, Gallas wholeheartedly agrees. As he publicly said, he welcomes the "offer to work together."
It should be stressed, however, that Greek Cypriots are not wholly innocent. During the intercommunal fighting of 1963-1974, they destroyed several Muslim mosques and shrines. (This fact is mentioned in the Commission's report.) But also, as indicated in the report, the Church of Cyprus has spent $600,000 since 2000 on renovating ruined mosques. Neither Turkey nor the so-called TRNC has given money for restoring churches. Some has been spent on making a few of the religious buildings, such as the Holy Monastery of St. Barnabas, into museums for 19th- and 20th-century icons of meager value; but this is not the same thing as taking proper care of buildings and letting them be used as they were intended: as places of worship.
Cyprus is not asking Turkey for money to go toward renovating churches. Chotzakoglou said that his concern is to "gain permission with our own money"--that is, the Church of Cyprus's--"to restore our churches."
The best hope for the remnants of Cyprus's fractured religious heritage is the reunification of the island and the end of military occupation. In the meantime, Cyprus will keep mounting pressure on Turkey to acknowledge cultural destruction and will keep pursuing the repatriation of lost art items, such as mosaics, frescoes, and icons, through courts foreign, international, and regional.

Iran: Love Me, Love Me Not?
Tehran Has Shunned Washington for Over 30 Years. Is the Ice Melting?
In 1979, George Lewis was an NBC correspondent in Iran covering the hostage crisis. Thirty-four years later and thousands of miles away, at a Zócalo event co-presented by Occidental College at MOCA Grand Avenue, Lewis asked a panel if the breakdown in U.S.-Iran relations he witnessed firsthand might finally be on the road to repair.
U.S. President Barack Obama and Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, have spoken by phone. It appears that Rouhani, a moderate, wants to negotiate and change the two countries' relationship. Lewis asked the panelists if he has the power and support to do this: Who is really ruling Iran, and do they want a rapprochement?
Occidental College political scientist Hussein Banai, co-author of Becoming Enemies: U.S.-Iran Relations and the Iran-Iraq War, 1979-1988, said that there's no straightforward answer to this question. Iran's long-term enmity toward the United …

A motion intended to deliver a slap on the wrist to Mayor Bob Bratina spiralled into an emotional, highly charged conflict Wednesday night that ended with councillors accusing the mayor of bullying and threatening the city manager.
Councillor Sam Merulla is calling for an in-camera session to debate Bratina's behaviour after the mayor was seen speaking aggressively to city manager Chris Murray at Wednesday's council meeting.
"I heard you yell at our city manager. What did you bully the city manager with?" Merulla asked. "I want to go in camera, I want another investigation, and I think the integrity commissioner should be involved as well."
After a defiant Bratina refused to explain the exchange to councillors — and after the mayor put Murray on the spot, asking the bureaucrat whether he was bullied — Councillor Jason Farr accused the mayor of being "nasty."
"I heard you," Farr yelled at Bratina, before packing up his notes and hastily leaving council chambers. "You're being awfully nasty. This is terrible what you are doing."
At issue was a motion from Councillor Brian McHattie reaffirming council's support of light rail transit (LRT). McHattie put forward the motion in response to recent comments from Bratina which several councillors said cast unnecessary doubt on the city's commitment to LRT.
The mayor told The Spectator he was informed by Premier Kathleen Wynne's office that Hamilton will have to choose between LRT and extending all-day GO service to Stoney Creek. However, soon after Bratina made those comments, the premier's office said that wasn't the case. During an appearance on the Bill Kelly Radio show the following day, and several times during Wednesday night's council meeting, Bratina said the story was not accurate.
Bratina did not return The Spectator's calls for clarification that day, nor has he requested a correction. After Wednesday night's meeting, he walked away from a Spectator reporter and refused to stop and answer questions.
Wednesday's lengthy, often heated debate circled around council's commitment to LRT, the mayor's comments to The Spectator, and exactly what was contained in the Rapid Ready report council voted in February to forward to the province. Throughout the debate, Bratina deflected questions about his comments to The Spectator. On several occasions, Bratina responded to questions by asking McHattie whether the Ward 1 councillor called the mayor "wilfully stupid."
However, the debate reached a critical moment when Murray was asked to clarify the contents of the Rapid Ready report. Murray said council's first priority has always been the B-Line, and any other projects included in the report were only backups should the province decide to pass on the east-west line. It was that response that prompted Bratina to leave his chair, walk over to Murray, and make the comments that are now putting him at risk of an integrity investigation.
Ultimately, councillors decided to defer a vote both on McHattie's motion and Merulla's call for a closed-door discussion about whether the mayor had indeed bullied Murray.
After the meeting, Murray said Bratina had said to him, "Why would you say that?"
But Murray declined to say whether he felt bullied. Instead, Murray said he would wait for any in-camera discussion.
At the end of the meeting, Bratina said he was disappointed in council's behaviour.
"I regret that decorum fell apart a little bit," he said, adding his sister and his wife attended the meeting especially because he needed the support. Bratina also mentioned that these types of arguments reflect badly on council in the community, including the funeral for noted Hamilton resident Arthur Weisz that took place Wednesday afternoon.
"When I appear, on your behalf, at what is literally a state funeral — such as I did today — what would citizens expect if the person who was representing them was being spoken of as wilfully stupid?"
Full text of McHattie's motion:
Re-Affirmation of Council's Position respecting B-Line LRT on King Street
Whereas, City of Hamilton staff and City Council have been working on a detailed plan for a B-Line LRT for several years in partnership with Metrolinx and the Province of Ontario;
And Whereas while there are a variety of important transit needs in Hamilton, including extending GO service to east Hamilton, and implementing a fully-functioning A Line transit service, City Council has previously provided direction to City staff to prioritize a design for a B-Line LRT project;
And Whereas on February 27, 2013 City Council voted unanimously to request 100% funding from the Province of Ontario for a B-Line LRT on King Street (February 25, 2013 report to GIC attached);
And Whereas, the Chamber of Commerce's Light Rail Transit Task Force (members including Councillors Farr, Ferguson, McHattie, and Mayor Bratina) has been working diligently to promote a B-Line LRT on King Street, in support of Council's position, and in conjunction with many other individuals and organizations in Hamilton;
And Whereas, it is critical that Hamilton communicate clearly with the Province of Ontario on Council's LRT transit priority.
Therefore be it resolved:
(a) That Council's February 27, 2013 decision requesting funding from the Province of Ontario for a B-Line LRT on King Street be reaffirmed;
(b) That the Mayor be directed to represent City Council's position on a B-Line LRT on King Street to other government agencies and the private sector.
(c) That the Mayor be directed to include Councillors Farr, Ferguson and McHattie when communicating on Council transit priorities with the Province of Ontario.
(d) That a copy of Council's Feb 27, 2013 resolution respecting a B-Line LRT on King Street, and a copy of this motion, be forwarded to the Premier, Minister of Transport and Hamilton area MPP's.

VCore Xi98 and G Instinct - both are very good racquets. Nothing wrong with either of them. I'm not using them now only because I got the sickness that we all have. I played as good with them as I have any other racquet. But because I am a holic, I can always find something not to like. For example, the vcore xi98 looks started bothering me, head shape started to bug me (looks only) and the color of the deep red/maroon PJ. How is that for being superficial!? But I'm being honest. As far as the instinct, it's about as ridiculous... The very oval head shape was bothering me and the HEAD grip shape. All of this should and could be easily overlooked, but there's just too many racquets out there and neither of these excited me enough to give up the pd2012 or to stop looking. Both racquets seemed to be very good in all areas, but nothing stood out as being special.
The Wilson Prostaff 95 that I just got is 11.7 strung (.2 oz over spec - not too bad for a Wilson). It is approximately 7 pts HL strung. With over grip the static weight is 11.9 but the SW is definitely manageable and very manueverable. I would guess the SW is around 315-318. It only feels slightly "heavier" over the course of a match the all of the others I've been using. And I'm playing just as consistent, but feel like I'm playing "better" tennis. The pluses are I'm hitting some amazing angles and controlled targeted winners, and heavier shots. I wasn't getting this with the others and the feel is much better. It's got the control you would expect, but it is more forgiving then you would think, and because of the string job, the power is there - IF you swing at it. You can't just throw it out there and expect a winner - though it is possbible, just not as likely.
True the PS95 is not as "easy" as the tweeners, or say the 104, but I'm starting to believe it doesn't matter what I play with. Over the course of a match I seem to have the same end results. I may miss a few that I would have made with an easier racquet, but I make up for it with more control and unreturnable shots. I find myself getting lazy with the pd or tweeners, and i don't seem to fall into the same bad habits with PS95 (you can't). But I'm not saying I finally found "the one", I know myself way too well. But I can say it is a much better racquet, and easier to play with, then I imagined. And it's not just a "light players racquet". It really is unlike any racquet I have tried. BUT IF YOU TRY, I BELIEVE YOU MUST GO WITH LOW TENSION 48-50. AND A HYBRID SET-UP.
I would actually be curious how the PS95 stacks up with the TEC 315 16x19 that is getting all the attention lately. The specs are almost identical except for the slight difference in flex. The PS is a little stiffer so I would imagine a little more powerful and slightly easier, however the 315 has a 98in head. Makes me want one! Did you ever try the one you ordered?
Call me crazy, but I bet most players at our level can do equally well with ANY racquet from 10.5-11.7 ounces, 95-104 headsize, and SW 300-320. It comes down to personal preference and "believing" in the racquet. That translates into confidence - which is everything.
Hey thanks for the update on what's been going on with you
I have to say I TOTALLY AGREE with what you said about the racquet not making much difference at all. I have played with everything from a Dunlop 200 to a Red 105 and everything in between and can play pretty much my regular game with any of them. As long as the racquet isn't too heavy or too low powered, my game will be just like usual. I have also stayed with one racquet for as long as 6 month's and saw some improvement with the familiarity, but nothing game changing. I really only need a few days with a frame to get used to it completely. So frame choice should be mostly based on personal preference IMO. As long as you aren't playing with something totally out of your league or completely wrong for you.

"If Congress comes to power, it will recover every pie of illegal mining from looters and utilise it for welfare of Bellary people. We won't allow looters, who are already in jail, to come out," roared AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
Addressing an election campaign rally in Bellary on Friday, Rahul recalled his family's connection with Bellary and said his mother Sonia had contested as Congress candidate from Bellary on 1999.
"We will intensify investigation over illegal mining and will put all efforts to root out corruption, misdeeds happened in Bellary during BJP's regime in the state. One should not forget that Bellary government ruled whole Karnataka between 2008-2013," he added.
Without taking Narendra Modi's name he said that "they" speak against corruption by allowing BS Yedyurappa to sit their beside. "They never open their mouth over corruption which took place in BJP-ruled Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh states," he said.
Reiterating the Congress' manifesto, he asserted that his party has planned an industrial corridor between Delhi-Mumbai-Chennai-Bangalore to initiate a manufacture revolution in the nation. "This proposal is expected to provide lakhs of employment opportunities for Karnataka youth," he said.
He claimed that his father Rajiv Gandhi laid the foundation for IT revolution that placed Bangalore and Karnataka on the world map.
He asserted that Congress is always for development of poor, tribals, Dalits, minority and weaker sections of the society. "Our government will, as usual, be formed on principle of social justice," he stated.
Regarding women empowerment, he threw the ball in BJP's court saying they are not allowing parliament to pass the women's reservation bill.
Before his address, chief minister Siddaramaiah warned people that if BJP comes to power, it will definitely release Janardhan Reddy from jail. "Sriramulu and BJP fought like street dogs and now have joined hands," he said.
Ignoring public opposition from Swaraj, BJP has admitted B Sriramulu — a one time close associate of Reddy brothers — into the party and fielded him as its candidate for Bellary, now represented by his sister Shanta.
At a rally in Mangalore, Gandhi hit out at Modi's "Congress-mukht Bharat" slogan, saying, "They say Congress should be eradicated from India. Congress is a thought and an ideology that is very old. This ideology cannot be eradicated from India. One who wanted to eradicate it, they have been wiped out."
Gandhi also said Congress wants to play the politics of love and brotherhood and defeat the political party playing politics of anger.
"They make a Hindu fight against a Muslim and a Christian. They also make people of Karnataka fight against Maharashtra. They want to see people from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar out of Maharashtra. In Mangalore, they beat women," he said.
The Mangalore remark was in the context of the 2009 attack on several girls at a pub allegedly by activists of right wing outfit Sri Ram Sene, known for its notorious moral policing.

When I started running 12 years ago, I never thought about what I actually put on my feet. I would think more of the race, my training, the distance, and a number of other factors that seem to pile up as runner's trudge through the daily grind. Probably the most important factor-shoes, was almost an afterthought when I started this as my 'other career'. Read More
