Daniel Moss 6-11-03 The Disappearance of Salt Lakes: Two Case Studies, Two Possible Futures Boats in the Aral Sea (http://www.harleytourism.com/aral_sea.shtml) Water is one of the most precious resources on the planet. While it doesn't take long without it for us humans to remember how important water is to us, and how we cannot survive without it for more than a few days, we can often forget or overlook how intricate a part it plays in the survival of the rest of earth's inhabitants. Often through history, it seems to me that humans will pollute and disrupt water systems as much as they can or need to until it affects them directly. Most people you ask will probably be aware that there is a water crisis facing much of the world, or at least how important access to drinkable water is and that many countries in desert climates have very serious problems with it. However, many less are aware of the crisis that we are and will continue to be facing in relation to our salt lakes, or the reasons and possibilities for saving them. While salt lakes are not as obviously or directly important to us humans as potable water sources, they hold a very key place in the world's ecosystems, and in our lives. Due to various human factors including water pollution and diversion, many salt lakes across the globe are dropping and disappearing, leaving in their wake a slew of problems which humans must deal with. Sometimes, to put it lightly, these problems are dealt with better than others. Mono Lake in California is one place where enough people spent enough time and energy to stop and begin to reverse the lake's disappearance, evading what could have been a very serious disruption to the food chain and environment. Water was being carelessly diverted from Mono's tributaries for use in the city of Los Angeles and it took a monumental legal case brought about by a collection of concerned individuals to force the city to make certain changes that would be required to bring the lake back up to a certain level and to the restore the damaged environment. On the other hand, the Aral Sea, which lies in between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in central Asia, has been nearly eliminated due to diversion for agriculture creating what has been called "one of the greatest environmental catastrophes ever recorded" (http://www.american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). The consequences of this have included the complete shutting down of a large fishing industry, change in the regional climate, and huge dust storms carrying dangerous chemicals that created many health problems (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). To illustrate their importance, this papers sets out to illustrate examples of what happens when our salt lakes are saved or destroyed. Because of its islands, previously numbering 1,100, the lake got its name "Aral" meaning "island" in Kazakh (http://www.livinglakes.org/month/2-aralsea.htm). The Aral has two major tributaries: the Amu Darya, coming into it from the South and the Syr Darya, which flows in from the North (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). Through most of its history, the lake rose and dropped relative to the melting and reformation of glaciers, and would be rising today, as the nearby Caspian Sea is doing if it were not for the unsustainable methods of humans. (http://www.grida.no/aral/aralsea/english/arsea/arsea.htm) State of Aral Sea in 1969 and 1995 (www.dfd.dlr.de/app/land/aralsee/) Central Asian civilization, one of oldest in the world, has always centered around its water resources. In fact, irrigation started to be used in the region around the 6th or 7th century BC (http://www.grida.no/aral/aralsea/english/arsea/arsea.htm). Agriculture was practiced at a sustainable level until the twentieth century, when the Soviets began industrializing cotton in the 1940s. New canals opened up diverting large amounts of water away from the Aral's two main rivers, and millions of hectares of desert came under irrigation (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). In 1965, the lake had lost over 75% of its volume (http://www.livinglakes.org/month/2-aralsea.htm) yet it was still receiving fifty cubic kilometers of water per year. By the early 80s, this had dropped to zero (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). Until 1960, the Aral Sea was the fourth largest lake in the world, it is now the world's eighth largest (uky.edu/ArtsSciences/Geology/rimmer/110/AralSea.pdf). As the lake dropped, its salinity increased ten fold to the point where the lake could no longer support its previously rich fish population. In the 1980s the commercial fishery had been eliminated, totally closing an industry that had employed 60,000. The increase in salinity drove some of the lake's 24 species of fish to extinction while others can be found elsewhere. Wetlands and oases around the lake disappeared with the receding lake and falling water table. Many of the area's mammals and 173 species of birds were driven away due to habitat loss (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). Salinization increased from 10 g/l to 40-50 g/l because of lack of fresh water inflow.(http://www.grida.no/aral/aralsea/english/arsea/arsea.htm) The implications of this for the health of human life have been very serious. The Aral Sea disaster has "caused a decline in the productive capacity and social conditions of the 5 million people living in the region of the Sea due to the degradation of the quality of their drinking water and health, the salination of agricultural lands, a reduction in biodiversity, pollution due to the run-off of pesticides, fertilizers, etc and local climatic changes" (http://www.environmonument.com/Aralsea.htm). An increasingly continental climate change was problematic because it shortened the growing season, which forced some farmers to replace cotton with rice, which required even more water. The blowing of this toxic salt and dust is leaving nearby land uncultivable. "The exposed area of former seabed was now over 28,000 square kilometers, from which winds picked up and estimated 43 million tons of sediments laced with salts and pesticides," creating terrible health consequences including respiratory and eye illnesses and throat cancers, for people all the way from the Aral basin to the Artic and to Pakistan. (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). Tuberculosis and anemia are now quite common in the region as are birth defects and high infant mortality (livinglakes.org/month/2-aralsea.htm). The worsening situation has also been linked to rises in leukemia and liver and kidney diseases (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). The five Central Asian countries that share the Aral region have made agreements concerning solutions to the situation. A document in 1992 demanded water to be brought the sea and its deltas. In 1993, the countries formed The International Aral Sea Rehabilitation Fund which set out the following objectives: "stabilization and improvement of management of the Aral Sea Basin's environment; rehabilitation of disaster zones surrounding the Aral Sea; improvement of management of scarce water resources in the region; capacity building of local and state institutions on planning and implementation of regional programs" (livinglakes.org/month/2-aralsea.htm). The next year, the countries pledged to donate one percent of their gross national product to the fund, and agreed to cut down on irrigation water. However, getting the resources for completing these objectives has been quite difficult, and no money was reported to have reached the fund by late 1994 (american.edu/ted/ARAL.HTM). This is understandable as the Central Asian countries are the poorest of those in the former Soviet Union. In 1991, the GNP per person ranged from $2,030 in Kazakhstan to $980 in Uzbekistan. The most likely path to stabilization would be through improving the area's irrigation infrastructure, which is currently what was developed in the Soviet era and is very uneconomical and ineffective. "Israeli engineers experimenting on an Uzbek cotton farm [in the mid 90s] claimed they had increased yield by forty percent while reducing water consumption by two-thirds." Such improvements would surely lead to huge improvements in the future life of the lake, the surrounding environment and thus it's people. Since these countries have barely any money to spend on improving irrigation, I believe that it will take an international fund to make any serious attempt to save and/or restore the area. Another complication is that while humans have suffered severe health effects as a result of the lake's diversion, there have also been many positive economic benefits as well, creating a very difficult situation to resolve. So much has been put into the region's agriculture industry that it is practically impossible to return the lake to its original level, making "it is necessary to explore solutions to problems affecting the people of the region that would allow the Aral Sea to at least stabilize" (environmonument.com/Aralsea.htm). The people at LivingLakes.org put it simply that while any real solution to the problem would be difficult and expensive, "in the long run moving toward sustainability will be the least costly," which I certainly believe to be true. One excellent example of where a threatened lake and ecosystem has been put on a sustainable path that will prevent the type of damage just discussed to both humans and the environment is the case of Mono Lake. At its current state, Mono Lake covers about 70 square miles and is at it's deepest point 150 ft, but averages only 60. Because of its general shallowness, when Mono drops vertically, the effect on its surface area is quite drastic. Mono Lake has five main tributaries: Lee Vining Creek, Parker Creek, Walker Creek, Rush Creek, and Mill Creek. Along with the lake itself, "habitats in the basin include alkaline shoreline, pinyon pine- sagebrush, and riparian forest." (http://www.livinglakes.org/mono/) As is characteristic of a salt lake, Mono is a terminal lake, meaning its waters have no means of escaping except by evaporation. This is common for salt lakes because as evaporation occurs, the salt in the water remains and builds up as opposed to being washed out. The high salinity of Mono Lake, which is about twice that of the ocean, supports a fairly simple yet extremely active food chain. There are two main animal species who live in the lake, brine shrimp and alkaline flies. These animals exist in seeming infinite amounts and provide practically that extensive of a food source for the lakes other main inhabitant, birds. Among those birds are one of the world's few largest nesting California gull populations and "hundreds of thousands of migratory shorebirds" (http://www.livinglakes.org/mono/). Many of these migratory birds use the lake as stopping and refueling grounds on their way to South America. Over 760,000 years old, Mono Lake is one of North America's oldest sources of life, supporting human life for over five thousand years. Paiute Native Americans living around the lake used to collect the pupae of the lakes alkali flies and were thus given the name Monache, meaning "fly-eaters". In the 1850s, explorers shortened Monache to Mono, which has since been applied to the region and its inhabitants (USDA "Mono Basin" flyer). It took less than a hundred years after their discovery of the lake for these European settlers to begin diverting its waters. In 1941, the city of Los Angeles began diverting water from Mono Lake, unknowing and uninterested of its ecological significance. Within forty years, the lake had dropped nearly fifty vertical feet, lost half its volume and doubled in salinity, threatening the ability of the lake to support life (http://www.livinglakes.org/mono/). Photos of Mono Lake in 1962, 68, 95 following the lake dropping from 25 to 40 ft (http://www.monolake.org/politicalhistory/index.html) Unlike with the tragic story of the Aral Sea, Mono Lake was fought for and somewhat saved by the interest and dedicated of the Mono Lake Committee and other environmental organizations who were aware of the possible future damage to the lake and its possible repercussions. However, it would certainly be incorrect to say that now harm was done or that none of the damage is still felt. When the Los Angeles Aqueduct dried up the lake's main rivers, aside from the previously mentioned damage to the lake itself, "riparian vegetation died, fisheries were destroyed, and occasional floods tore through the desiccated floodplains plugging up side channels and turning the main channels into wide, straight washes… The result was a fragmented and poorly functioning ecosystem." Winds blew toxic salt and dust from exposed seabed, similar to with the Aral, but on a lesser scale and without the addition of pesticides. Another effect of the lake's large dropping was that islands where birds would nest and lay eggs, became linked by new land bridges giving accessibility to predators. Unable to have safe breeding ground, the numbers of geese and ducks plummeted 99% (http://www.monolake.org/restoration/index.html). Starting in 1979, the Mono Lake Committee, along with the National Audobon Society, and two local fishing clubs, filled a series of lawsuits over 10 years against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) on the basis that the diversions violated the Public Trust Doctrine, which protects navigable bodies of water for the use and benefit of all the people. (http://www.monobasinresearch.org/timelines/polchr.htm) Finally, after quite a fight, it was decided by the state in 1994 that the DWP is responsible to implement a restoration plan including restoration of waterfowl and stream habitat, and a raising of the lake's level to 6392 feet above sea level, which will reduce salinity, decrease dust storms, and reconnect the lake to its springs and deltas. It was decided that the cheapest and most effective way to repair the ecosystem is to restore its natural processes. Creating such environments in the lake's rivers will "will provide the dynamic energy needed to rebuild deep stream channels and pools, re-grow riparian forests and reestablish healthy floodplains" (monolake.org/restoration/index.html). The agreement allows LA to continue diverting some water in this process and one-third of its previous use once the decided lake level is established. Because so much of the city's water came from the lake, the city has found it cheaper to promote water conservation and recycling than trying to purchase the whole other two-third from other sources. Today, even with a population increase of one-third, Los Angeles uses no more water than it did in the 1970s. Since the DWP began its reduction of water diversion, Mono Lake has risen ten feet. However, Mono Lake and its surrounding area will not be completely restored. The lake will remain 25 feet below its pre-diversion level, with a lesser annual stream flow as well. Certain riparian forests will take half a century to grow back and other regions such as the Rush Creek delta are permanently beyond restoration (monolake.org/restoration/index.html). The upside to the story is much more powerful. The case of Mono Lake sets a impressive precedent for lake preservation and restoration, that will be referenced not only by others trying to save lakes in different parts of the world, but regular students and citizens like me who can begin to learn about not only the importance of salt lakes, but the importance and possibility of saving them. The problems of both Mono Lake and the Aral Sea started with unsustainable human diversion and the world has seen two ways such a story can pan out. Now it is up to us to choose.

Investing in tradition-based pluralism rather than feeding monopoly needs to be the future of both religion and media, says Simon Barrow. And not just in the interactions between the two overlapping realms.
The origins of Christianity are in a dynamic and free movement around Jesus, but much of its history is bound up with institutional religion, says Simon Barrow. The challenge is to continue to respond to the transformative impulse of the Gospel, even in the midst of organisation and complexity.
What kind of 'narrative' is the new post-election, post-budget coalition government trying to create, asks Simon Barrow, and what is its ratio of substance to spin, of new politics to old-fashioned collusion? Moreover, how will Labour and extra-parliamentary activists who question the underlying Westminster consensus respond?
The status quo based on monopolistic politics and dominating religion is being challenged as never before, says Simon Barrow. This creates fresh and energising opportunities for cooperation across received 'religious' and 'secular' divides for a new era, and requires a new Christian vision too.
The 2010 General Election campaign has been more volatile and interesting than anyone could have predicted, and the outcome now sits on a knife-edge, says Simon Barrow. But whichever way it goes, there is an opportunity for genuine, ground-up, civic based change. We must not ignore or miss it.
The media isn't someone or something else, it's also us, says Simon Barrow. He goes on to examine the challenge of truthful communication in a PR-driven world, and to offer a picture of what authentically Christian communication might look like.
The hype around Lib Dem chief Nick Clegg has been extraordinary in the wake of the first UK election Leaders' Debate, says Simon Barrow. But is this all froth, or does the shift it seems to signal represent something deeper for reform and a renewed politics?
The likely outcome of the General Election is another victory for 'Lablibservatism', the dominant three-way economic and political status quo, says Simon Barrow. Yet cracks are showing and the possibility of a hung parliament could make deeper change possible.
As the predicted politicking gets underway across Britain today, Simon Barrow argues that underneath and beyond General Election 2010 is a much more important 'ethics election' on who we are and what really matters for people, peace and planet.
Jesus' affirmation of one woman's extravagant generosity and his comments about abiding poverty are not about forsaking justice for individualistic charity, says Simon Barrow. Quite the reverse. They signal the in-breaking of a new order of being and living in a divided world.

This is a good one too as the house gives some perspective to the size of the lightning...
See ya from Sandy ;)
It must have been a very large bolt as it was probably 8-10 miles away.
Best wishes, Leo
Like the new shots as well. I came over just to ask where you were when you took these shots. Do you have a waterproof camera or were you under some type of cover? Haven't really thought much about it but for some reason today on the drive home I started wondering about it. We would LOVE some rain here. It is getting really dry.
Well, I'd better head to bed!
Thank you, JF.
I was standing on the back deck when I shot these. It wasn't too wet as the storm was still a couple of miles away and the rain was very light.
Cheers, Leo
You did it again, Leo! Another perfect capture of a big and scary lightning! I have never been able to catch one, but honestly, I haven't really tried because they scare me to death! It's a fantastic shot! Best wishes, Anne
Thank you, Anne,
Every time I look at this photo, I am amazed by the sheer size and scope of this lightning bolt. It has tentacles like an octopus!
I find it exhilarating and a little scary to stand outside with all this going on around me. This night, the light show went on for about 30 minutes. The closer it got, the more frequent and brighter the lightning strikes. By the time it was directly overhead, I could not capture any strikes because they totally washed out the photo to an eerie blue-white glow.
Best wishes, Leo

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
05 Apr 2011 18:30 GMT | Politics, Africa, Italy, Libya, Turkey
Libyan rebel forces have abandoned the oil town of Brega and are heading east toward Ajdabiya in the face of a renewed offensive by troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.
Both sides exchanged heavy fire on Tuesday, but just a day after rebels had taken over a residential part of the city, they were forced to retreat.
Opposition forces said they came under rocket and artillery fire while they attempted to fight back with mortars and rockets of their own.
"When you see this, the situation is very bad. We cannot match their weapons,'' said Kamal Mughrabi, 64, a retired soldier who joined the opposition army. "If the [coalition] planes don't come back and hit them we'll have to keep pulling back."
Early in the day, a coalition airstrike targeted eight government vehicles that were advancing on opposition positions, rebel officer Abdel-Basset Abibi said.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid, in Ajdabiya, reported that opposition forces had been pushed back 20-30km east of Brega towards Ajdabiya by the Gaddafi forces' mid-morning offensive.
"Since this morning we were trying to get as close as possible to Brega. We reached the junction on the road that would lead inside that town, but since mid-morning, opposition forces have been coming under a rolling artillery and mortar barrage," she reported.
Brigadier General Mark van Uhm, NATO's chief of allied operations, said that NATO's new "number one priority" was the western town of Misurata, where residents say they have been besieged for weeks by pro-Gaddafi forces.
"Misurata is a number one priority because of the situation on the ground over there. We have confirmation that in Misurata tanks are being dispersed, being hidden, [and] humans being used as shields in order to prevent NATO sorties to identify targets," he said.
Van Uhm said that Gaddafi's troops have been adjusting their tactics to deal with the threat from coalition airstrikes, travelling in trucks and light vehicles to the front line and hiding their tanks and armoured vehicles from sight.
He said NATO had so far taken out 30 per cent of Gaddafi's military power, and had struck targets near Misurata on Monday.
Rebel oil export
Meanwhile, the rebels plan to load their first oil shipments on Tuesday.
The tanker Equator, which can carry a million barrels of crude, was due to arrive at the eastern port of Marsa el Hariga, near Tobruk, satellite ship tracking data showed even as a Suezmax tanker docked at the port of Tobruk.
Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports oncurrent state of Libya's oil industry
A full load of oil on either tanker would be worth millions of dollars, helping the rebel leadership to pay salaries and bolster its image as a potential government capable of taking over.
The last oil shipment to leave Libya was on March 18.
It is unclear at the moment who is buying the oil, though the Suezmax tanker is flying under a Liberian flag, and the Equator is operated by a Greek company.
The frontline in the conflict has been bogged down around Brega for nearly a week, with Gaddafi's advantage in tanks and artillery cancelled out by NATO-led air strikes which effectively back the rebels.
After a series of rapid rebel advances followed by headlong retreats, the pro-democracy fighters had at least held their ground in this oil town for several days, putting their best trained forces into battle for the town and keeping disorganised volunteers away.
Abibi, the rebel officer, said the two sides battled inside the city until nightfall on Monday and then the rebels moved back to the outskirts. The night passed without much incident, until the coalition airstrike on Tuesday morning.
On Monday, columns of opposition fighters drove up the main coastal highway, regaining ground they had given up the day before, but the effective use of artillery and landmines by Gaddafi's troops kept them at bay.
Tuesday's Gaddafi offensive, however, broke the pattern.
"We haven't seen such a push [by Gaddafi forces] for a few days, over the past few days it actually seemed as if the opposition forces were able to hold some sort of position around the town of Brega. Well, today the situation was completely different. The Gaddafi forces were much more aggresive than they had been in the past days, it seem that maybe they had received new supplies, but certainly they have been pounding much more intensely than over the past few days," our correspondent said.
Mustafa Gheirani, a spokesman for the opposition's Transition National Council in Benghazi, said that while "setbacks" had been suffered, the opposition would fight on.
"There is no revolution without setbacks. But the people will win. Gaddafi cannot rule Libya with his machine - his militias and his mercenaries ... We are committed to fighting this tyrant, and either we will drive him out or he will rule a country with no people in it," he said.
Christopher Stevens, the former deputy chief of the US mission in Tripoli, has now arrived in Benghazi to hold talks with members of the opposition's TNC. The US has not formally recognised the TNC as Libya's legitimate government, as several other countries have, and Stevens is in the country to "get to know [its] members", a US official told Reuters.
On Tuesday, Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon's spokesman, said the US was still undecided on whether or not to help arm the rebels, but would be discussing providing "non-lethal" assistance in the coming days.
General Carter Hamm, the US general in charge of Africa Command, under whom US military operations in Libya fell, was to testify before US lawmakers in Washington DC on Tuesday.
In the Libyan capital,Tripoli, meanwhile, angered by fuel shortages and long queues for basic goods caused by sanctions and air strikes, some residents began openly predicting Gaddafi's imminent downfall.
Mussa Ibrahim, a Gaddafi spokesman, said Libya was ready for a "political solution" with world powers and offered a "constitution, election, anything. But the leader has to lead this forward".Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi ended a trip to Greece, Turkey and Malta to set out the government position.Turkey is expecting an envoy to visit from the opposition in the coming days and is listening to both sides."Both sides have a rigid stance," a Turkish Foreign Ministry official said after Obeidi's visit. "One side, the opposition, is insisting that Gaddafi should go. The other side is saying Gaddafi should stay. So there is no breakthrough yet."

1995 Nissan Quest Q&A
1995 Nissan Quest Question: power steering column
I have a van that will not go in park. I tried to adust the linkage at the transmission and I still cant get it to go in park. There is alot of play in the shifter from park to drive the shifter feels like its really easy to move before it goes into drive. I believe the the problem is in the steering column. What should I do to fix it myself and how take the column off if so. - navajrconcrete

Answer 2
Yes you may be right your problem may be in the steering column. If so it may be simple to fix. Simply look up the steering column from where the brake pedal is (you'll need a flashlight). There is a torx head bolt on the shift column that is prone to coming loose and eventually will fall out. Have someone jiggle the shift lever while you on your back look up the steering column. You'll see the loose bolt on the linkage, that is if it hasn't already fallen out. You won't be able to shift at all if it has completely fallen out. Simply tighten the bolt, problem solved. - Visitor

Having done it an umpteenth number of times, we know that describing how content marketing works can sound vague and hazy. Because unlike traditional ads where the mechanism is simple and instant, content marketing involves many sub-steps, routes, and methods executed at a much longer time span.
It may not be a click-and-convert operation but content marketing's enormous ROI is obvious when you simply look at the results.
Whether it's your boss or someone you met at a dinner party, here's an infographic to convince anyone of the irrefutable benefits of content marketing. It includes a collection of the most recent industry data that really brings home what Seth Godin once famously said: "Content marketing is the only marketing left."

A Political Conundrum
By 1896, the beard trend of the Gilded Age was fading, especially among younger men. The Civil War vets would keep their grizzled old beards, but the Progressives would eschew such resplendent facial hair. Williams' Shaving Soap actively worked to take advantage. What better way to advertise than bipartisanship? Especially in 1896. Gold bug or silverite, imperialist or anti-imperialist, strong tariff man or weak tariff man, who didn't need to shave?

LEXINGTON -- South Oldham came home with a 57th place finish in KHSAA state wrestling tournament, tallying 10 points for the event at Alltech Arena.
South freshman Keanan John won two matches in the 120-pound class before being eliminated in his second consolation match.
Expectations have changed for North Oldham's swim team.
Five years ago just qualifying a swimmer for the state tournament was a big accomplishment, North coach Randy Scherer said.
LEXINGTON – Oldham County coach Aaron Riordan said senior wrestler Connor Wilkerson would run through a brick wall if he asked it of him.
Wilkerson didn't smash through any bricks this weekend at the KHSAA state wrestling championships, but he did have an impressive tournament.
LEXINGTON – Mitch Rusch didn't finish his high school career the way he wanted, atop the KHSAA state wrestling championships podium.
But the North Oldham senior came about as close as he could.
GOSHEN – Kyle Young simply overwhelmed Trimble County in the first half Wednesday night.
The senior guard finished with 33 points, 26 of which came in the first half, and was a pest on the defensive end, playing a part in the Raiders turning the ball over 18 times before the half.
Young's big performance lifted South Oldham to a 51-19 halftime lead and eventually to an 88-60 win over Trimble Wednesday night at North Oldham in the first round of the District 29 tournament.
GOSHEN -- Heavily favored Oldham County needed a shot in the arm early Wednesday night in its District 29 tournament opener against North Oldham.
The Lady Colonels got one from their star player.
Ashley McMurtrey scored a career-high 41 points in just three quarters as OC ended North's season, 71-33, Wednesday night at North.
OC (14-9) clinched a berth to next week's Region 8 tournament and a spot in Friday's district championship game, where it'll meet the winner of Thursday night's South Oldham vs. Trimble County game.
The District 29 boys and girls basketball tournaments scheduled to begin tonight at North Oldham have been postponed to tomorrow, North AD Alan Yanke said Tuesday afternoon.
The reason for the postponements is a water main break in Goshen, which has affected water pressure in the area.
Repairs are expected to be completed by Tuesday night, a Lousville Water Company spokesman told The Era Tuesday morning.
Here is the new tournament schedule:
–Girls: No. 1 Oldham County vs. No. 4 North Oldham, 6 p.m.

The Capitals were incredibly quiet on the first day of NHL free agency Sunday, but that doesnt mean they wont be opening their wallets on Day 2.
On Friday, we took a look at six free-agent forwards the Capitals might consider when the curtain for signing unrestricted free agents rises at noon on Sunday.
Its difficult to say how Thursdays announcement that the NHL is raising its salary cap from to 64.3 million to 70.2 million will impact Sundays start of free agency.
Adam Oates has not even had his introductory press conference that will come today at 3 p.m.
Capitals general manager George McPhee confirmed on Thursday that veteran forwards Mike Knuble and Jeff Halpern will not be returning to the team next season, but would not say the same for soon-to

I like to be social, meeting new people and finding new places. I tend to be very active outdoors and enjoy finding new adventures. I know who I am and what I want. During the week, I am a responsible teacher in the classroom and on the weekends I like to relax, let loose and enjoy life. I am simple yet dynamic :) I try to keep a good balance between working hard, living healthy and enjoying life. I would like to find a man that chooses to live this way as well. I am looking for someone stable. Someone that knows how to have a good time and a good laugh but also knows how to be a man. Someone that is active, positive, uplifting, genuine, honest, hard working and fun with a little passion in life.

Although they may not sometimes be thought of as traditional advertising clients, airports are just as much a business as more traditional corporate entities. In an effort to attract travelers, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York revamped its busy Terminal 4, which features a variety of restaurants and shops. The airport called on Uniondale, New York-based WL Concepts—a print shop with which the airport has a five year contract—to help carry out the rebranding involved with the terminal's redesign.

Maintaining Balance
Sunday - December 9
Rainy all day. Considering the workout in the woods yesterday, best to relax.
Thought: would singling out a 'Strength' forum make the issue worse??? Would this backfire on the stated intent?
Saturday - December 8
Pulling trees off of a hill, sectioning them and splitting them into firewood. Great workout.

Have fun and enjoy the little things in life!
Hello my name is Luis, you can pronounce it whichever way you want and it will be ok with me lol. Kind of funny that the people who pronounce it right are usually not Hispanic. Anyways I am pretty outgoing and roll with things most of the time. I usually like being in charge of whatever I am doing when it comes to work and my relationship, but don't mind taking a back seat to a good strong woman who is good to me. I currently have a government job with the United States Postal Service in Dallas. I work overnight and sleep mostly during the day until my days off for the week. I like to go to the movies a lot and bowling or shooting pool with my friends when I get the chance. Hopefully I can find someone who shares some of my interest and enjoy some new ones together. I am a romantic at heart. I am really faithful to whomever I am with. I do not have time for games. I have to set an example for my little girl on what a good man is for when she grows up. Looking for a down to earth woman to give my time to and enjoy a stress free relationship. Above all I put God, family and my relationship first in my life. I am kind of bad at writing about about myself and will update this better with time.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Running
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

Motion made to bar media from trial for teen accused of killing parents
Alex Crain's attorneys think the teen's trial might be too hot for TV.
It could be too hot for radio and newspaper photographs, too.
Attorneys for the 14-year-old Crain, who is accused of killing his parents, Thomas and Kelly Crain, at their home last December, filed a motion in Collier Circuit Court seeking to exclude still photographic and electronic media from the pre-trial, trial, proceedings and incorporated memorandum of law. Attorneys said allowing electronic media will deny Crain's rights to a "fair and impartial trial and due process of law."
"We must remember, Alex is a 14-year-old boy who has been charged as an adult with the manslaughter of both his parents. There has already been extensive and pervasive pre-trial publicity, both locally and nationally, in this matter and undersigned fully expects this to continue given the high profile, tragic and horrific nature of this case," wrote Brian Bieber, one of Crain's attorneys. "There have been repeated televised, as well as radio, broadcast and print media statements about evidence in this case, including the disclosure of minors' names, addresses and dates of birth."
The motion would not bar reporters from the courtroom or from reporting on the proceedings, but would restrict photographs and electronic media.
The Florida Rules of Judicial Administration allow cameras in the courtroom, both video cameras and still cameras. The presence of cameras in the courtroom is currently subject to the judge's discretion.
Deanna Shullman, an attorney with Tampa-based Thomas & LoCicero PL who will be representing the Daily News on any response filed, said the court should have electronic media procedures in place.
"Where the courts have discretion is allowing you through the manner and means through which electronic recording takes place," she said.
This means, for example, a judge could order that media outlets request camera access through a specific court employee or that the judge could require a pool camera so there are not 50 cameras in the newsroom.
"But blanket exclusion is not appropriate," she said.
Daily News Editor Phil Lewis, who was sent a copy of Bieber's motion from the attorney, said while he appreciated the information, the Daily News oppose the motion in court.
"We are always concerned when the press' and public access is restricted," he said. "We've talked with our legal counsel and plan to oppose the motion because we believe it would needlessly block access to a public proceeding."
In his motion, Bieber argued that cameras in the courtroom do not "contribute meaningfully to the fact-finding process" and that televising all or a potion of a criminal trial distracts from the fact-finding process.
"Knowledge of the mere presence of a television camera, no matter how unobtrusive the equipment may be, still has a subtle, subconscious, psychological impact on the participants, including the jurors, counsel for prosecution and defense, courtroom personnel, witnesses and, of course - most importantly - the accused," he wrote.
"Televising proceedings trivializes the process while sensationalizing the specific case."
Bieber argues in his motion that cameras could lead to posturing by witnesses or jurors, and wrote it is unknown how Crain, who has been in jail since his December arrest on a $1 million bond, will respond to all the media attention.
"Alex is an immature, emotionally fragile, 14 year old boy , who has now been incarcerated for a period of time. The effects of a camera in the courtroom on Alex are not entirely known at this point," he wrote. "But this Court should not take the chance that Alex's ability to rationally consult with his lawyer will (or even could) be jeopardized, even if the chance is slight.
"Alex has not been in a public environment for over 4 months and the effect of being in a courtroom, with all eyes on him is overwhelming enough, especially when we consider his age."
Shullman said there is no evidence that the presence of cameras undermines the judicial process. Nor, she said, is there a requirement that cameras have to "contribute meaningfully to the fact-finding process."
Further, she said when cameras are present, the participants in a trial tend to act more professionally because there is a fear what happens during trial will spread beyond the courtroom's walls.
Collier County Clerk's Office's web site shows that attorneys for the prosecution and defense will have a case management conference with Judge Fred Hardt on Aug. 29.
Crain is facing a maximum 30-year prison sentence on each of two counts of first-degree felony manslaughter.

Will Ferrell is never not busy, which means that he's never pinned down. He may be a successful solo movie star, but he's a man of many partnerships, never missing an opportunity to share the screen with a variety of co-stars. With the arrival of Daddy's Home, Ferrell hopes to bring his onscreen partnership with Mark Wahlberg to John C. Reilly-ian levels. Hopefully, the movie itself is funnier than the new trailer. After all, the last time these two teamed up, we got the massively underrated The Other Guys.

Delicious Indian Chicken
Indian chicken curry Ingredients: 2 1/2 lbs. cut-up chicken or chicken breasts 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 tart apple 1 medium onion 1 tablespoon curry powder (more for experienced palates) 1/3 cup raisins 1 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup Coca-Cola 3 1/2 tablespoons flour 1 cup coffee cream or undiluted evaporated milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon white pepper Celery tops Hot cooked rice Instructions: Rinse chicken and cook in boiling salted water with a few celery tops. Cover and simmer about 1 hour or until fork-tender. Drain, saving strained broth. Remove chicken from bones and cut into 1/2-inch pieces to measure about 2 1/2 cups. Melt butter in skillet. Add peeled and diced apple, thinly sliced onion and curry powder, and sauté for 5 minutes, blending well. Stir in raisins, 1 cup of the reserved chicken broth and Coca-Cola. Mix flour with the cream, stirring until smooth. Add this mixture with the salt and pepper to the onion-apple mixture. Stir and cook over low heat until thick and creamy. Taste for seasonings. Add chicken and turn into a covered container to chill overnight. Reheat in top of double boiler over hot water and serve on hot cooked rice with a selection of condiments. Makes 6 servings. This spicy and exotic main dish is best when made the day before to allow the rich flavors to ripen. Serve with mixed green salad and a fruit dessert. Provide a sampling of the following condiments for sprinkling on top of each serving: grated coconut, chopped peanuts, chopped raw onion, raisins, sweet pickle relish, chutney, chow or lime wedges.
