The funds realized through tfae ball will be appropriated to tbe bencvo name of Misa Mildred Cort, daaghter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Cort of Oak creat. Centennial Avenue, near Free- port, L. I., in a local paper no one guessed its inspiration. (3nly within the past week waa it revealed when Mias Cort's mother announced her daughter's engagement to Lieutenant Harry Barnes of the British army. Lieutenant Barnes is now convalescing in the Base 'Hospital at Alexandria, after long and severe service at the Dardanelles. Miss Cort's muse breathes a hope for the peace that will send her lover home to her. "Would that I were well enough to return to the trenches—better than ly¬ ing here idle," is the wiah of Lieuten¬ ant Barnes, expresaed in a letter re¬ ceived in Freeport. Miss Cort does not know if Lieuten¬ ant Barnes has been wounded in battle or is there because of other illness. She fears the former, because her fiance has kept this one fact from her. It has been a month aince she last heard from him. It takes a month between letters, which are consider¬ ably censored when they do arrive. The meeting of Miss Cort, who is a grandiece of the late General Benja¬ min Tracy and of General laaac Cat- lin, with Harry Barnes was an acci¬ dental one. He had just finished at Pembroke College, Oxiord, and was on a visit to his friend, Herbert W. Clock, in Freeport. He was booked to sail on December 18, last year. His father. Rev. Henry Barnes, of Thorgenby, York, sent for him to re¬ turn and fight for his country. "All the young blood are going for the love of country and I want my boy to be among tbem," was the father's command. Barnes packed up and sent hi« bag¬ gage aboard the ill-fated Lusitania. ¦The next morning he missed the boat and returned to Freeport to await the next sailing. "Come, viait a friend," invited Clock, and Barnes met Miss Cort on the day intended for bis return home. Then he requested a furlough from his father and lengthened his visit, miss¬ ing a boat. In January Barnes sailed and carried a love message across the water. It was the word "Yes." He became a member of the Prince of Wales' Own at West Yorkshire and was ordered to Camp Harrogate and later to Scaiboro. He was aent into Egypt, where he fought in the Dard- anellea campaign. Lieuienant Barnes' regiment was within fifty feet of the enemy's trenches while shrapnel fell on all sides of him. A small "Freeport^ pennant, pre¬ sented to him by Miss Cort, was un- f Aed to the breezes and placed on the summit of the trench for the enemy's bullets, but nene atruck it. This pen¬ nant the lieutenant will return to bis futare wife. At Oxford Lieutenant Barnes was a star oarsman, making the famoaa Ox¬ ford crew, and also waa a skillful sock- er player. Miaa Cort ia a skilled equestrienne. Sbe writes poetry and is musically inclined. With her aister Virginia she attended St. Mary's, Gar¬ den City, and Brooklyn Heights Sem¬ inary. "Yes, it waa love at firat aight," admitted Miso Cort. "So atrange how we met. If he had caught bia boat it could not have bappened. Again, if be had called on Mr. Clock, whoae peo¬ ple are close friends ot the family, I would have been out. Fate intervened in our favor. If tbe Kaiser leta him return our wedding will be quiet. We have had aeveral recent deatba in our family and Lieutenant Barnes lost his mother before going to war." ''And you kept vour aecret for a year?" she was asked. "Yea, some girla can keep a secret, but I found when I did tell my frienda of nur engagement recent'ly that tbey knew all about it," uf course, there waa the poetry. also refreshments. Firemen Out at Midnight Awakened by the barking of his dog, H. B. Remsen, proprietor of the Boulevard Stables, formerly at Mer¬ rick Road and Church Street, but now ou Grand Avenue, near "Weberfield, found hia tarn and wagon sheds in flames late Sunday evening. Mr. Rem¬ sen, after some difficulty in locating a telephone, sent in an alarm, and then, witb his assistants, endeavored to get out th>i four horses stabled in the building, the fire still being in the mow, in which were atored several tons of hay. Two of the horses near¬ est the door were taken out but the heat and smoke had then become so intenae it was necessary to abandon the other two, which perished in the fire. Notwithstanding the snow, the de partment made good time, and two atreama of water were thrown on the flames, but the fire had gained too iruch headway and the buildings were destroyed, together with a number of wagona, and a large quantity of farni¬ ture which was stored in the barn. No borse drawn apparatus reached the fire, Hoae 3 stopping at Broadway and Roaedale Avenue wben the recall blew, and Hose 1 having been obliged to stop on account of the slippery roads, bat Hoae 4, Truck 1 and Hose Sunday evening the services was en ! titeiy musical, Gounod's "Nazareth' I being sung in addition tu other Christ mas music. CHRISTMAS AND NEW At the Methodist Lhurch .\ preaching service was held Christ- miis morning. At the Sunday evening service the (Jhristmas Cantata, "The Christ i Child," by C. B. Hawley, was rend- I ered by a apeciai chorus of twenty-six i vcices. ! In apite of diaagreeable weather, j rain having set in about noon, the I littleat people of the Sunday School, I the children ot the Cradle Roll, were i present in surprising numbers on Tuea¬ day afternoon for their Christmas party. Babies in arms, toddlers just beginning to run about and little peo¬ ple whose feet had become swift and sure were present. Mrs. Saul 0. Cur¬ tice and her helpers had a busy, but happy time directing the brief pro¬ gram of aong and recitation, giving out the gifts for the children and serv¬ ing refreshments to the mothers and friends who had come with the child¬ ren. Wednesdiiy dawned dismally, a cold rain, freezing as it fell, covering every thing with ire. But in the afternoon Mrs. Robert Anderwcn and her aasoci- tho Home Departnient were on o n . J • .

While playing an Indian game the life uf Hosa, 9 years uld, became the sacrifice. KosB and her brother had been play¬ ing with mechanical toys, dolls and Christmas trinkets when the boy chanced to see his father's shotgun. Theiiarent.s were in an adjoining room and the door was closed. To Michael it was the long-looked for opportunity to play with the gon. "Corne on, Rosa, let's play Indian," he whispered. "Dad'a out in the otb¬ er room and we can ha\e ull the fun We want." The child agreed and waa cast for the rule of the kidnapped "paleface." Michael took her prisoner, made her march before hiin and go through all the actions thut hia ingenuity could picture as the part of u ea'ptured white woman. Fin«lly he decided that it was time to obtain a scalp. Rosa waa ordered to stand with her back to tbe wall, and Michael went thruugh tbe motions he thiught were the stock in trade of bad redmeri. In the midat of his antics his foot became entangled in a rug and he stumbled. Ihere was a crash ua buth barrela of the shotgun were diacharged in the face of the girl.

On July 6, much to the relief of ranchers in the region, Mexican wolf AF 924 was lethally removed. Despite wolf team inability to make a swift decision in issuing the removal order that lasted for a week past the third and fourth confirmed livestock kills, the order was carried out.
During the three weeks prior to the removal, Catron County leadership was threatened with arrest by federal agents if they removed the wolf non-lethally. Despite the fed´s threats, the county wolf interaction investigator had placed a hava-heart trap in the area in order to remove AF 924 and turn her over to the interagency wolf management team.
"I am deeply concerned about the recent escalation in wolf removals and incidents surrounding yesterday's lethal removal of a female wolf," said Governor Bill Richardson. "State Police are investigating the incident and are collecting the facts as this investigation takes its course."
At the end of both World Wars a grateful nation gave veterans the opportunity to homestead land on the California and Oregon border. Guy Porterfield was one of those veterans who came home from the first World War and, together with his wife Mary, homesteaded on 80 acres in Tulelake, California in 1929. They survived the depression and through sheer determination, hard work and irrigation water they expanded their 80-acre holding and built a sizable farming and cattle operation.
In the year 2001 the same government that rewarded Guy Porterfield for service to his country by giving him farm ground is now attempting to take that same ground, and much more, away from his son.

Winter Comforts 0
I have a confession to make. I LOVE winter. As everyone else starts lamenting over the dark evenings and chilly temperatures, I secretly love snuggling up under a duvet on the sofa, digging out my thick tights and woolly hats and seeing my breath in the air. This may have something to do with having spent much of my childhood growing up in the Mediterranean where we had little in the way of seasons- it's slightly colder in the winter but I definitely remember spending a number of Christmas days in jeans and a t-shirt. So proper cold weather is still something of a novelty for me- as is really warming, comfort food and drink. My list of Christmas presents for friends and family nearly always includes a cookbook, and this year is no exception. More

WAUSAU — Former city clerk Margaret Riley addressed the Wausau Town Council on Thursday to respond to information Councilman Charles Park Sr. had presented during the Dec. 12 meeting.
"I received a copy of what Mr. Park wanted to add to the agenda last month, and I want to address it," Riley said.
Park was under the impression that city clerk JoAnn Hayes claimed to have seven days of comp time accrued. Riley noted that the actual amount is 7.25 hours of comp time.
"Anytime an employee works more than 40 hours, they get comp time at the overtime rate," Riley said. "You have got to give them their comp time."
The town cannot afford to pay overtime to the employees, that is why they are allowed comp time, Riley said.
She also noted that bereavement leave is available to employees at any time. "The mayor and the mayor pro tem are over the clerk, and those are the only two people she has to let know," Riley said.
Riley announced her plans to retire during the June 13 council meeting after 17 years of service as city clerk.
In August, the council hired Hayes to take Riley's place as city clerk, but Riley stayed on to train her replacement and to help guide the city through the budgeting process, retiring at the Sept. 28 town council meeting.
Riley has also made herself available to help Hayes during the transition, even after leaving the town's payroll.
"During the interviewing process, you said the starting pay for the clerk would be $12.50 per hour, and after a 90-day probation that would go to $13.50, that is what you voted on," Riley said.
She said that according to the city personnel policy, the probation period should have been six months, but she had mistakenly informed the council that it was a 90-day probationary period. "I'm sorry for that, but you all voted on it."
"The clerk in Wausau has never had to be voted on every year to be rehired," Riley said. "I never have heard of that before. The clerk is hired by the council."
Riley said she was informed that she should not be allowed behind the counter at city hall. "Why am I a security risk after 17 years?" she asked.
"When I left here, I had a deep respect for each of you," Riley told the council members. "I said I would come back and help the city in any way I could."
"If you don't have trust in your clerk and have the confidence in her to move money back and forth, from the street department to the water department and so on, then you're in trouble," Mayor B.J. Phillips said. "I'm kind of new at this mayor business, but I know we have to go by the city charter."
Riley said the town lives on a month-to-month budget, just like regular families, and sometimes the clerk has to move funds from one account to another to cover bills.
One example was a $12,000 fire truck payment that was due in December, and which caused concern with the Volunteer Fire Department members.
"The county has cut back on the amount of fire funds they provide, and those funds don't come in all at once," Riley explained. She said the county has cut its annual contribution to the city fire department by $10,000.
"We're living with a budget, and to survive, we have to move money around," Phillips said.
Past practice has been that the clerk moved funds around to pay the bills, without seeking council permission for each transaction, Riley said. "In your books each month you get a report showing all the transactions."
Councilman Dallas Carter said he was under the impression that every thing had to come before the council for approval.
"You do get a report that you approve each month, but the clerk has never had to ask every time she made a transaction, at least not in the 17 years I was here," Riley said.
"Margaret was here for 17 years and she did a fine job," Carter said. "We have got to have trust in the clerk and I think she (Hayes) is doing a fine job."
"I've been lucky enough to have Margaret here to train me," Hayes said, "and when we have had issues, she's always been willing to help me out."
"I was very disappointed in this piece of writing," Phillips said of Park's comments. "This was just not called for."
County Attorney Jeff Goodman recommended the council members put the dissent behind them.
"Wausau is a good town, and people care about this community," Goodman said. "My advice is to put this in the rearview mirror and go forward."

The Ideas of November Fifth Coalition: Discussion with International Students
Discussion with Professor Harry Boyte and other international students on the ideas of November Fifth Coalition. We are likely to discuss the images of "superhero" candidates in our countries and reflect on how people make decisions when they participate (or do not participate) in elections in our countries.
WHEN: Tuesday, May 1, 12:45pm-1:45pm
WHERE: Room 173, Humphrey Center
WHO: You and other international students (please, forward)
Please, look at this web site for more information.
It will be great if you can also forward this info to other international students who might be willing to join us for this conversation. I know that time is scarce at this time of the year, but we believe that your input would make a difference. Thank you, and see you then!
Organized by the Global Policy Forum and the Center for Democracy and Citizenship, University of Minnesota.
"In today's elections, most candidates present themselves as superheroes who will solve our problems if we elect them and denounce their opponents as potential disasters. Voters often pretend to believe this, treating elections as a consumer choice about who can deliver the goods. For the future of our country, this distortion has to change."

Gardeners file claim against city over leaf blowers
Original post made by Bill D'Agostino, Palo Alto Weekly reporter, on Jun 9, 2006
The federal law prohibits cities from setting their own emissions standards, according to attorney William M. Guerry, Jr., who is representing the Bay Area Gardeners Association and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute.
Yesterday, Guerry filed a claim, the first step to a lawsuit, with the city, alleging the ban created an illegal patchwork of standards. The ban does not prohibit electric-powered blowers, which can be just as loud as the gas-powered models, he noted.
"I think it's outrageous and I think a court would find the city culpable and demand remunerations to the gardeners," Guerry said.
The lawsuit would also seek to end the ban.
Senior Deputy City Attorney Donald Larkin said the ordinance does not regulate air emissions.
"This is a regulation of leaf blowers primarily based on noise concerns," he said.
The council had passed the ban in 2000, after a bevy of complaints from residents about both the noise and dirt the gas-powered blowers produced. For years, the council delayed implementation to see if technological advances would make the need for the ban void. Last June, the council decided to go ahead with the ban. Numerous Latino gardeners protested at the meeting, saying the action would threaten their livelihoods.
Since, the gardeners have repeatedly asked, to no avail, that the council reconsider the ordinance.
"Given the exposure, we're just amazed the city hasn't returned our phone calls or the gardeners' phone calls," Guerry said.
The attorney also alleges the city pulled a bait-and-switch. During the period between 2000 and 2005 the gardeners purchased quieter gas-powered blowers to try to appease the council, Guerry said.
The attorney argued that the city's delay implementing the ban was a promise to not enforce the ordinance should technology improve.
"We think Palo Alto should live up to its commitments," Guerry said. "It's legally and morally obligated to do so."
The gardeners hope to recoup the $4 milllion they spent on quieter leaf-blowers and another $1 million in lost income. Manufacturers of leaf blowers are also seeking $500,000 in lost sales.
Larkin said the council never promised to repeal the ordinance.
"I'm not aware of any agreement between the city and the gardeners association," he said.

Ban them all on the basis of noise violations! For the first time in a decade one can bike around this town without feeling like one is in a clear cut forest zone with chainsaws buzzing.
Get rid of tthose darn leafblowers, INCLUDING the electric ones! Gardners can then charge more money

Should any city council person ever read this, here's a solid vote/request for the gas powered ban to remain in effect. I've heard both gas & electric leaf blowers and the gas ones are far noisier.
Three properties around us, including my own each use electric blowers on occasion and they are really not that noisy at all. Given the slight overhead of needing a long cord, the neighbors (and us) occasionally just use an old fashioned broom/rake and they work just fine thank you.
While I sympathize with those contractors who have now have to use an electric, I can't see how this was (primarily) an emissions ban in conflict with federal law. Tons of surrounding cities have banned gas blowers, mowers, etc - as they're just too noisy.

The ban should stay in effect.
As a matter of fact we should begin the process for a state law to ban the gas leaf blowers.
The noisier and far more powerful gas blowers throw a ton of dust in the air. On that basis the EPA should be involved and supportive.
Perhaps we should expand the ordinance to include electric blowers over a certain decibel.
My neighbors use small electric blowers in their yards that are not offensive and I have yet to see dust flying from them.
I bid good riddance to the big blowers for the Mow, Blow and Go contractors and hope the city does the right thing and fights for our rights.

A ban on all gas-powered gardening tools is way overdue. They cause extreme air and noise pollution, it's that simple. Electric mowers, blowers, and trimmers have been available for a long time, and the gardeners could have avoided trouble by switching over early instead of waiting for the law to change. I would never hire gardener who uses gas-powered tools - or any kind of blower for that matter. Are the hourly wages so high that we can't afford to have them rake our yard once a month or so?
a resident of St. Claire Gardens
on Jun 15, 2006 at 10:37 am
The ban needs to stay in effect. In fact, I wish Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Sunnyvale, and other surrounding cities would enact and enforce bans as well, so that gardners understand this is a widespread, persistent problem that they can't just ignore or avoid.
When I was younger, leafblowers were unheard of (and unheard), and most gardening was done by local kids or the homeowners (and I'm not even 40!). Over the years, the use of leafblowers has skyrocketed, as has the ire of anyone forced to be near them. The only reason there isn't MORE outrage over their use is because many people are mercifully at work or school during the day and aren't aware of the problem. But some people work at night and need to sleep during the day, others are at home full time, others are just passing by.
It's absolutely not true that electric leafblowers are as noisy as gas-powered ones, and they are certainly less annoying and less penetrating. The noise of gas-powered leaf blowers can carry for a large distance and penetrate buildings with their annoying, buzzy whine at multiple frequencies (both high and low), so that in many cases residents were bothered by multiple leaf blowers from different locations each day, let alone each week, before the ban went into effect, and closing doors and windows (as if they should have to!) would only slightly dampen the racket. (The noise of electric leafblowers, on the other hand, doesn't carry nearly as far and is easily blocked out by closed windows, due to their smooth, steady noise lacking low frequencies. Thus, fewer leafblowers are audible from any one location, the noise is much more easily blocked when they are heard, and the noise produced is not as annoying in the first place.)
In addition, they are luckly federal or state clean-air regulations don't already ban gas-powered leafblowers on emissions grounds! As cars and other sources have been tackled, small engines are one of the next big targets. Even if the gardners were to win their ridiculous lawsuit, they might end up being banned NATIONALLY before too long anyway (or at least have to buy significantly cleaner models).
In addition, while gardners made many claims about using quieter leafblowers in a more sensitive manner so that a ban wouldn't be needed, MOST OF THEM WEREN'T DOING IT. They were still routinely blasting the loudest leafblowers at full power (sometimes two at a time at a single location), even as people asked them to stop, held their fingers in their ears, or choked on the dust as they passed by.
While many scofflaw gardners routinely ignore the ban to this day (and thus disrespect the residents of the town they are providing services in), it has nevertheless had enough of an effect to make a dramatic improvement overall.

I support fully your efforts to ban the nuisances. Why stop at blowers, though? Today, my neighbor's yard crew ran at least four machines, each one louder than the next, and most of the "work" not even necessary! So much gratuitous noise!
One used the blower to chase a leaf around the backyard for five mintues (not kidding!), and the other came with the lawn mower to chew up the leaf. They used an edger (very noisy) on a part of the yard that no one even sees -- or can see. Then, in the front, they used ENORMOUS gas-powered hedgeclippers (I clocked at 70 decibels from 100 feet away) to shape and smoothe two little bushes. Ridiculous!
What happens is that people who've never touched a garden implement and who know nothing about gardening turn over the yard to people who've often spent no time in a garden either, very low paid workers who are handed a noisy appliance and told to move it around a lot.
Juniper bushes are very slow-growing. They do not need trimming every week!
Our driveways needn't be so clean of each twig and leaf. What is this fixation?
Flower beds do not need the bejesus blown out of them every week! It's bad for the beds and bad for our air.
Have we all lost our minds to allow this?
We live at the top of a hill near Belmont, and it starts at 7 a.m. every day -- the lawn appliances, the wood-chippers, the Skil-Saws....
As a volunteer, I work in the area of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Many children and adults in Silicon Valley suffer from ADHD as well as auditory-processing disorders. Scientists are finding that the increased noise in our environment contributes to cognitive processing disorders. (Yes, ADHD is largely genetic, but as the geneticists say..."Genes load the gun, but environment pulls the trigger.)
This noise has to stop. The noisy motorcycles droning through all of our hiking areas. The Homeland Security planes making our yards feel like a D-day landing. Is there an organization -- Peninsula-wide -- through which we can gather voices? Without a united citizenry, we'll never win against the lobbyists (and that includes blower manufacturers, pilots organizations, etc.)
I'll start it if a few will join me.

Gee, I live in PA and having been calling the police to report bandit leaf blowers for ages...I still hear gas powered blowers all over PA, or the noisy electric ones. There has been little effective enforcement of the ban, the homeowner/landlord should be the one who gets fined if his gardener breaks the rules, the fine should be increased to support the burden of enforcement.
There are so many gardeners/yard cleaners in Palo Alto that during 9-5 (the blower hours), there is a constant stream of gas-electric powered appliances in the neighborhood.
It does not matter whether you use gas or electric, the big hair dryers blow dust with pollen, cat and dog poo, as well as rat, bird and other animals that use your garden as a toilet.
Concerning the gardeners' lawsuit - stick it back to them, we should suit their association for noise/air/ polution and damage to cars and structures by improperly using their tools, etc.
I have no problem with the gardeners charging more for the silent service, like our old Japanese gardener who didn't own a power tool and would only come 1 a month, the garden was always pretty - who cares about a few leaves on the ground?
I would support a state ban on noisy tools like these - what did we do in the 60 and 70s to keep the garden clean? Rake+kids = allowance and clean yard.

I hope the city council won't be intimidated by the lawsuit. Please let council members know how you feel about topic, since it will be up for disucussion soon.
Apparently the gardeners' lawyers are telling them they do not have to comply with the ordinance.
If you see gardeners using a gas-powered leaf blower, you can report them by calling Community Service Officer Stacy Henderson at 329-2210. Provide the gardeners' license plate number and the address where you see them working. Gardeners get two warnings before being issued a citation. FAQs on the leaf blower ordinance can be found at Web Link

Noise Pollution comments by a doctor

The politics of pollution: " . . . small engines (not just lawn mowers -- leaf blowers, chain saws, stuff like that) put in excess of 22 tons of smog-forming chemicals into the air each day in California. That's equivalent to the gunk produced by 800,000 cars a day."

The gardners should be able to use the gas blowers. I find them to be much quieter and they get the job done faster. I have followed the city's interaction with the gas and now electric blower use and I think our elected officials have bigger issues to deal with. Let the gardners use the best tools they prefer and leave them alone to do the daily work other people do not have the time or ability to do. I do not have a front lawn and do my own gardening now, but I have used gardeners in the past. Yes, there is some dust blowing in the air, but is not anywhere as big a problem as the city street sweepers.
For example, just last week ( June 27 )as I was walking to my house the sweeper came by and raised so much dirt,dust and grit I had to brush it off my clothes and I had to clean my glasses. This happens most weeks. I see it all up and down Middlefield and some of the side streets too. There is a lot of construction in my area and the street sweeping raises more dust in the air than it cleans up. Maybe if they wet the street before thay sweep like they used to it would not be such a problem.

The palo alto community coming through with its stuck up unreasonalble actions. There are much bigger problems than those of gas powered lawn equipment. Don't think so? Then just drive all your Toyota Prius' down to 101 or 280 at 7 in the morning. Wah Wah, someone needs a band aid. Not an inconveinance? If it was just so easy to do things with electric blowers, and equipment, than people would probably do their own lawns. What if we banned automobiles and made all you yuppies drive to work, or better yet the grocery store. Not very praticle. The only reason such laws get past is because you people think you're better than everyone, and like to pick on those who actually sweat will working. Power trip on someone else, I'll take my expertease to people who will appriciate the hard working blue collar american. And then maybe other gardeners will follow my vote and ban the yuppies of palo alto, and then you ungrateful scum can go out and actually get dirty for once and do your own yard.

Congratulations to Palo Alto for banning the use of leaf blowers. Now, what need to be done to get the City of San Jose to do the same?
Leaf blowing is ubiquitous in San Jose. Spend an afternoon riding around on your bicycle and just see if you don't get dirt blown into your face. The noise is penetrating, too. If you worked at home, like many people in this valley now do, you'd get the noise and dust from all directions, not only from yards on either side but from across the street and sometimes from blocks away. These are not the neighbors per se using these machines, but young boys employed by yard services.
P.S. The infernal racket is outside my window as I write this. I'll stop what I'm doing to shut all the windows, but I don't think it's my job to personally confront all of San Jose's noise and pollution offenders. There needs to be a law!

I'm one of the people who worked hard to get the gas blower ban passed and words cannot express how much more peaceful and less stressful my life is now. I had to report all the blower users in my neighborhood, some of them several times, for the noise to stop, and now I can enjoy my backyard whenever I have time without that noisy racket ruining it. Now the gardeners use electric blowers, most of which are far quieter and don't send me running for cover.
What we have now is a legal recourse for those of us, like myself, who work at home and need a good work environment. Hopefully the ban will become nation wide. While I agree that some electric models are rather noisy, and other landscape machines as well, the improvement we have now is, for me, a dream come true.

I get awakened every week by a noisy leafblower. I am in a
"reisdential/commercial" zone, so they fire it up at 8am.
Apparently, that's still legal. They are literally 5 feet from
my window, and 8 feet from my right ear. On top of that, the workers are illegal. Why can't we start by enforcing THAT law?

This is really not a technical issue of sound/dirt/disrupting the peace. It's an issue of the rights of the undocumented.
Can a liberal city make a law that disproportionally impacts the undocumented? Need such a law be obeyed?

A rake is good enough for me. Why isn't it good enough for professional gardeners? If a rake takes a little more time, just charge a little more.

Snobbish, boorish, wealthy elite: if you remembered anything about accruing wealth or business, it's that time is money. The more time it takes a gardener to finish work on a property, the less time they have to see other clients and therefore makes less. Charge a client more to account for the time differential, then they risk losing clients to others who might be willing to do it for less. And to consider that you have no fiscal investment in this ban, your ignorance is really showing hard and it ain't cute. Now if you were all the ones doing the gardening, ban away. But you aren't.
These gardeners went through city-recommended best practices to continue their livelihoods and were then told to basically f*** off...all because you want to keep your communities pristine. Yet I doubt many of you do the majority to keep your community pristine. You outsource it to folks of color and then regulate the hell out of them.

Palo Alto, and every other town deserves some limits on noise and air pollution. The obvious answer is to fine the property owners, not the gardeners. This would prevent undercutting wages of the gardeners.

I have tried to pay gardeners extra to rake instead of use those blowers, but they always have some new employee who forgets. It spreads weed seeds around - significantly increasing weed problems - and makes the house really dirty, for one. The clouds of dirt and dust are a nightmare for asthmatics. It's usually impossible to avoid several of these clouds nearly every school day on the way to school. I was so glad to hear when they were banned, then realized it was just the type of equipment!
We haven't had a gardener now for years, purely because I can't seem to rely on anyone to always remember NOT to use the blowers.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

I have come to a greater appreciation of the issue of leaf blowers. They have roared back into heavy use here.
I think they should be used as appropriate - and that is a big thing because they are used all the time, 6 days a week - for extended periods - where I live! Some gardeners just blow leaves, dirt, trash, dust into the street onto passing cars - people have to step off the sidewalk. I can see with periodic heavy leafdrop that blowers make sense for very limited use. It is ridiculous to see the constant use - sometimes they are only blowing dust and dirt. For many, many years rakes were sufficient in the typically smallish yards such as one has in Palo Alto.

The noise in Palo Alto is horrific. Aircraft noise going to SFO is extreme and exacerbated by helicoptors, traffic, idling vehicles, year round construction, road re-dos, etc. One cannot find a quiet spot outdoors and often indoors as well. Palo Alto is worse than a boiler factory!
Studies document the stress response to noise.
I applaud this ban by City Palo Alto to protect citizens health and well being.It is crucial.

If the majority of Palo Alto residents had to rake and dispose of their own leaf debris, this ban would be repealed immediately.

New Scent for Spring: Wild Honeysuckle
Happy spring! With March 20th ringing in the official start of the new season, say hello to sunshine, spring flowers, and longer days. In honor of spring, I'm excited to introduce to you our newest scent of the season: Wild Honeysuckle!
Inspired by childhood memories of searching for a single dewdrop at the center of fresh flowers under the warmth of the Texan sun. Sweet honeysuckle nectar mingles with leafy vines and a hint of mandarin and musk. Energizing.
Doesn't it sound lovely? I like to have Wild Honeysuckle lit in the background to give me an extra boost of energy while I get myself ready in the morning. You can get yours here from Terrain, a terrific spot to find all things home, garden, and beauty. When do you feel most energized?

Billabong Surf With A Pro At Kandui Resort: Day 8
With claims of "all time" and Bintangs flowing freely we're all sitting in the Kandui Bar right hooting and hollering as we watch a slideshow from today's action. It was simply amazing today at Rifles. Rasta got a 10-second barrel, Shane Dorian was doing double arm stalls on 8-foot bombs, and just about everybody on the trip got the best waves of their lives.
I got smashed on a few early and decided to grab the 3D GoPro rig and shoot some video. So stoked I did, too—pretty much nailed clip after clip of the boys scoring until I couldn't take it anymore and grabbed the 6'3″ Firewire for some kegs of my own.
After seven hours in the water today and dinner just getting served, the Kandui Chronicles are done for the day, enjoy the pics and start saving your pennies so you can get out here soon…

Although tourism in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga national parks has been hurt by the March 1 rebel attack that killed eight tourists and staff members in Bwindi, visitors are gradually returning to see the mountain gorillas.
Bwindi's facilities have been rebuilt and equipment replaced, and flowers are blooming in the community campground, reports Annette Lanjouw, AWF regional coordinator for the International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP). The gorillas have been monitored without interruption; none was harmed in the attack.
Some Endangered Species, Human Health Threatened
Long a source of sustenance for many rural people in Africa, the meat from wild animals is becoming increasingly popular as a delicacy in other parts of the world-so popular, in fact, that consumption threatens some endangered species and may pose risks to human health.
By R. Michael Wright, President, AWF
Dust billows in through the open top of the battered Land Rover as we slowly squeeze between two gnarled acacia thorn trees. We drive for hours through an empty landscape, searching for signs of the pack of wild dogs that had reportedly reappeared in Melepo Hills west of Namanga, the border crossing between Kenya and Tanzania.
Protecting the black rhino in the wild is considerably less expensive than preserving the endangered animals in captivity, a recent AWF-sponsored study has found.
Poaching has resulted in a 95 percent decline in the world's black rhino population over the last three decades to fewer than 2,600 in 1997. The only surviving populations live in protected areas, sanctuaries established in the wild or captive breeding programs, typically in zoos and open paddocks.
Cape mountain zebra were never very numerous to begin with, but back in 1950, their numbers had nosedived to a precarious 91. Intense conservation efforts began to reverse the decline, gradually raising their numbers to more than 400 by 1984 and to 1,200 today.

SANTA ROSA BEACH — As visitors flock to the beach this season, some bring along their best four-legged friend.
However, they might not know that South Walton's beaches are only open to residents' dogs whose owners purchase an annual permit. Others who take their dogs to the beach could be ticketed.
Some residents say that's unlikely.
Pauline Sutcliffe has lived in South Walton for 29 years and says the dog law has not been enforced. The Seacrest Beach resident encounters dogs loose on the beach regularly.
"When I see a dog running for me that I don't know, I get fearful," Sutcliffe said. "It is getting worse every year as we have more people visiting here."
Walton County sheriff's spokeswoman Wendy Ammons said from Feb. 1, 2012, to Feb. 13, 2013, beach patrol units issued 808 warnings for dogs on the beach. Deputies issued four citations during that same period.
People who violate the ordinance face a $100 fine.
"I don't have an average number for complaints," Ammons said. "Many of these may not come in as complaints but as observed violations by deputies."
Residents' permits for dogs are $30 a year. The only exception is if a dog belongs to a beachfront property owner who is with the dog on his or her property, Walton County Commissioner Cindy Meadows said.
The measure can be confusing, as all dogs are forbidden on the beach in Destin and Panama City. A recent proposal to allow South Walton visitors to purchase beach permits for their dogs added to the confusion. But that measure was scuttled after residents objected.
In response to more complaints about dogs on the beach, the Tourist Development Council hired two code enforcement officers last year to patrol the beach.
Sutcliffe acknowledges that locals are the worst offenders.
"They don't obey the leash law. They seem to have an attitude of entitlement. I see officers patrolling, but nothing changes," she said. "We have the extra money to enforce it now since the TDC is responsible for expenditures. We should pay the piper.
"It's an important issue. The beach is why we moved and visited here. But it's not a priority with a lot of people."
Sutcliffe is a dog owner, but doesn't take her dog to the beach because she worries about other people's animals.
"I am an animal lover but I don't think dogs belong on the beach," she said. "I would like to see consistent enforcement. I have never seen or known of anyone who has been ticketed, and I am on our beach a lot. To be successful you have to patrol year-round. I walk three times a week year-round and I see dogs off leash running loose and dog waste on the beach.
Sheila Wachsman, a retired attorney who has lived in area for nine years, also has experienced the fear of unleashed dogs charging her leashed dog.
"I decided that it wasn't worth it to take her (my dog) down there since no one is going to enforce the law, so I didn't bother to buy a permit this year," said Wachsman, who lives at Blue Mountain Beach. "I don't want my dog hurt. It's a free-for-all. What's the point of laws if you're not going to enforce them?"
Code enforcement officer Jeff McVeigh said he and his partner deal with an average of 10 to 12 dogs on the beach per day. He said at this time he is only issuing a warning to the owners and informing them of the regulations. However, McVeigh said that will change soon when new citation tickets that have been ordered arrive.

Workington firm wins £58m Sellafield contract
Last updated at 20:42, Thursday, 01 March 2012
A Workington firm has clinched a £58 million contract at Sellafield.
Stobbarts Ltd fought off international competition to be awarded the four-year maintenance contract, which will start next month.
The firm employs about 250 people at its head office at Tarn How in Workington and its base at Sellafield.
John Stobbart, managing director, said: "I feel elated. We first started working on the Sellafield site around 15 years ago and the growth in the size of the company since then has been tremendous.
"To win such a massive contract shows great faith in Stobbarts, especially to win in the face of competition in this country and internationally."
Part of its bid included a commitment to recruit more apprentices. The firm said it planned to increase its apprentice intake to up to eight a year from its present four to six.
Mr Stobbart said: "Securing this contract not only safeguards our existing workforce but enables us to provide further apprenticeships.
"I am a firm believer that young people from West Cumbria must be given opportunities for apprentice training in construction at Sellafield."
The contract draws together a range of services, including civil engineering, mechanical and design, plant and lifting equipment hire, provision of mobile cranes and rigging.
Keith Case, commercial director for Sellafield Ltd, said: "It is extremely encouraging to see a contract of this nature awarded to a local company.
"Our relationship with Stobbarts has matured over recent years and they've grown as an organisation."
Mr Stobbart started the company in 1987. It also undertakes building projects, plant hire and installs solar energy panels.

First, thank you in advance for any input you provide regarding my questions.
I'm installing a new server at my business. I have has six users using a proprietary software that have individual logins and passwords associated to the software. I have been been running a peer-to-peer internal network but want to increase speed on the network.
I purchased a small Dell server at the recommendation of the software vendor running MS Server 2008.
I have six workstations that vary from older desktop PC's running XP and a couple of newer laptops using Windows 7 and Windows 8.
I only plan to run the proprietary software and have users connect to the internet as needed (which is not often).
Since each user currently has their own username on password on the proprietary software do I need to install Active Directory on the server? The most users I would ever have is six. I want to keep the setup easy as I don't have much experience (or time) with server management.
Each user has additional software on their individual workstation that they will use.
My thought is to NOT install AD and just share the propriatary software folder on the server.
My setup is ATT DSL (with four ports) to a Netgear Pro Safe switch with 8 ports. I'm planning conntect my server, internet and six users to the switch.
Within the ATT modem router settings I was going to limit access using the MAC address of each machine.
I currently am using OPEN DNS on each workstation and AVIRA Free Antivirus
I have been using carbonite.com for backup, but a friend of mine suggested that I also do a physical backup on the server. (His reasoning was that having a secondary rotating physical backup is cheap insurance.)
Thoughts, comments and suggestions? Are there any 'sharks' in the water for my setup?
Thanks again.

Here is study material for Chemistry Principles (otherwise known as General Chemistry II) based on the material taught at Tufts University and the Chemistry: Central Science book by Pearson. Chemistry, as most sciences, requires a lot of practice to understand the concepts fully. With that being said, these review sheets do not cover everything. They should be read and understood, but they are the basics. The only way to truly learn chemistry is to get out there and do it!

ESPN fired the employee who wrote a racially offensive headline about basketball player Jeremy Lin and suspended an anchor who used the same slur, the sports network said Sunday.
The headline "Chink in the Armor," referenced the New York Knicks' loss Friday night, said CNN.
The phrase has two meanings. One implying the loss, the other being an ethnic slur for those of asian descent.
According to CNN, the headline was up for 35 minutes on Saturday morning before being removed.
"Lin is the NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent." said the Star Tribune. "He has captivated sports fans with unexpected dominance on the court."
EPSN also apologized for an anchor using the term on Wednesday night. A third reference was made on Friday, according to CNN.
Lin addressed the controversy during a news conference. "I don't think it was on purpose," Lin said. "At the same time, they've apologized. I don't care anymore."
