Former Charter Oak principal requesting leave of absence
By Alex Rusciano
The District 150 primary School principal was placed on "special assignment" last week amid an investigation into testing discrepancies. That means he was to start at another building with the same pay but having different duties. District 150 spokesman Chris Coplan says that the school board will consider Wetterauer's request at a future meeting.

Saw the iBook now I am sad :(
View Single Post
Posts: n/a
Hey guys, sorry went to sleep after that last post. I have been thinking about which one to get. I am thinking I wouldn't mind having a bigger screen but, I have been using a 12 in for last 6 months and have gotten used to it. I am also on some money constraints as well. So with my student discount I can get a 12in iBook for 950 and tax it will be about 1000. I got 920 for my old comp so basically I am out 80 dollars. I am thinking just get the 14 in for 1200 but after tax it would be close to 1270. I am thinking I could do it but I would have to start coming pretty close to the limit on a few cards of mine. Unless they have an open box for like 1100 or something.
I did have a concern about the 30 g hard drive. But I am not really storing alot of stuff and I guess I could just save the money now and later if I wanted to I could just stick a new one in there. Thats what I will probably do. Thanks guys for all your help, especially iWhat. I will post back today with some pics, hehehe. I know this is off topic but, if anyone hasn't tried a tivo yet you should. The reason I say that is two fold. I genuinely love it and also I need one more referral to get an iPod. It would make a great addition lol. Anyways, if someone just got one within the last 2 months or is thinking of it I will paypal you 25 for the referral. Thanks guys I will be back around 3-5 to post pics.

ARAMARK Correctional Services, in conjunction with the Vanderburgh County Jail, has implemented a program call FreshFavorites. FreshFavorites™ is a behavior incentive program that allows the friends and family members of those incarcerated, to purchase a restaurant quality meal on behalf of their incarcerated loved one. In the facilities that participate in this program, it is very common for behavior related problems to reduce substantially – because as an Officer within a living unit, you will have the ability to restrict individual inmates from receiving these meals. Like commissary, inmates look forward to receiving these meals on a weekly basis and will typically avoid disorderly behavior to ensure they maintain program eligibility.
How to Place an Order with FreshFavorites
Inmates housed in A Pod will receive their FreshFavorites™ meals on Saturdays between the hours of 10am – 11am. Please note: Friends and family must have the FreshFavorites™ meals ordered from the www.ARAMARKiCare.com site by 11 am CST on Fridays.
Inmates housed in B Pod will receive their meals on Sundays between the hours of 10am – 11am. Please note: Friends and family must have the FreshFavorites™ meals ordered from the www.ARAMARKiCare.com site by 11 am CST on Sundays.
All orders will come with a receipt in which the inmate must sign. All receipts must be provided to ARAMARK upon completion of delivery.
The current iCare menu has a selection of 5 meal options which are subject to change based upon feedback from the population. The menu will be posted in each living unit.
We accept Visa and MasterCard. Inmates in B1, Isolation, Medical or Booking are not eligible to receive iCare Fresh Favorites. If an inmate is on a discipline restriction, the basket will be held for delivery until the discipline restriction is removed.

As promised here are the photos of our upgraded car. We have both fallen in love with it but alas it will not fit into that second suitcase.
Take special notice of the extremely blue sky in the background. It is hot, hot, hot and we've had to go out shopping!!!!! for summer clothes. (Oh the hardship).
Our day started with an early text from Michael. Thanks darling you woke us at 4am as we were using Karens mobile as an alarm clock. We ventured into the hotel restaurant for our breakfast of frosties and fresh fruit. Lovely!! Then a brisk walk to CHA.
For our first class which started at 8am with Jodi Stacey from Daisy D.
Can't show you what we made but it will be a class very soon.
We then jumped in the car in search of the elusive Michaels. Unfortunately we travelled many miles in the wrong direction only to stop at a diner to ask the way. The kind lady gave us the directions and we felt that we had to buy something.
These must be the best milkshakes EVER but we must just say that the directions the lady gave us took us in totally the wrong direction, so we stopped at the huge Walmart store to buy teabags and lucky for us they had a scrapbook section. We both felt relieved that we had got our hands on some goodies so with a little smile on our faces we set off home only to see Michaels a block down the road. Of course we had to stop but were limited on time as we had a special man to meet.
Two hours of the most amazing crafting both of us had ever done. The results were fantastic as you can see for yourselves.
We will teach this class soon so watch out for it. It is definately not to be missed and great fun.
We'll leave you tonight with a picture of our hotel. We're off to dinner now and send our love to all our family and friends.
Night night.

CHURUBUSCO — The Churubusco Town Council approved the first payment to Ironclad Excavating for the sewer line project. The amount of the payment is $94,622.61.
LeaAnn Herron, council member, asked Gerri Johnson, clerk/treasurer, what she found out from Keystone about setting up an account for "rounding up" the utility bill and donating extra cash from that to the parks department, like REMC does. Johnson replied that Keystone does not have the capability to set up an account; Churubusco utilities [her office] would have to manually set up and enter the donations.

Just when I think I'm done...they pull me back in!
By MightyDuck 16 Comments
This morning I decided to watch a bit of the TNT from last night with the Battlefield 3 DLC. Seeing the game made me think that I should give BF3 another go. I had not played the game since late Winter/Early Spring. Anyway, I popped the game in the ol' PS3 and realized I needed to download a 2000 MB patch. I'm assuming that was the recent update to allow the new DLC to work. I did not have that available on my hard drive, and didn't feel like waiting to download it so I decided to give Black Ops another go.
I played a decent amount of Black Ops last year when it had come out and still the occasional match of Zombies with friends. I wouldn't say I'm a huge COD fan, while I did enjoy the original Modern Warfare. After playing a few matches I was hooked again. I really did miss the fast paced multiplayer. Getting back into Black Ops has sort of renewed my interest in the COD Series as a whole. I would typically be the first to tell you that the series has run it's course and I'm tired of hearing about it. I never got around to trying out MW3 so perhaps that has kept me from being burnt out.
Obviously games like Battlefield and Black Ops are sort of two different entities. BF3 tends to focus on the large scale battles, besides the recent DLC (from what I've heard) and COD focuses on the extremely frantic close quarters game play. Large scale battles are good in my book as well. I absolutely loved MAG and played it to a great degree.
Too be honest, I was a bit surprised that I was excited to jump back into the COD series. I can honestly say that I'm psyched for Blacks Ops 2 and curious to see what Activision/Treyarch bring to the table with the latest version. This is something I never thought I would say.
Has anybody else sort of caught that COD itch again lately after an extended period away from it? Maybe it's just me.

I've ignored the past few breathless reports about an imminent settlement by state Attorneys General and the big banks over foreclosure fraud, because we've been hearing the same talk about a settlement for over a year now, and because several states have already dropped out of the talks. But that doesn't mean a bad settlement with the remaining states may not be inked, one that would indemnify the banks from state-level prosecution for a series of crimes at practically all stages of the mortgage process, in exchange for a relative pittance. Gretchen Morgenson puts more meat on the bones of what's actually being offered as far as the bank side is concerned, and they would really get off with nary a scratch. Let's go through it:
Cutting to the chase: if you thought this was the deal that would hold banks accountable for filing phony documents in courts, foreclosing without showing they had the legal right to do so and generally running roughshod over anyone who opposed them, you are likely to be disappointed […]
As things stand, the settlement, said to total about $25 billion, would cost banks very little in actual cash — $3.5 billion to $5 billion. A dozen or so financial companies would contribute that money.
The rest — an estimated $20 billion — would consist of credits to banks that agree to reduce a predetermined dollar amount of principal owed on mortgages that they own or service for private investors. How many credits would accrue to a bank is unclear, but the amount would be based on a formula agreed to by the negotiators. A bank that writes down a second lien, for example, would receive a different amount from one that writes down a first lien.
$5 billion, at most, spread over a dozen banks, doesn't even rise to the level of a bee sting. Maybe a gnat bite. Here's how that plays out: $1.5 billion would go in the form of a $1,500 check to any borrower that lost their home to foreclosure since September 2008. So, a couple months' rent, thanks for playing, and there's no demarcation here: you get this if you stopped paying and were foreclosed upon properly (I'm sure there were a few) or if you were evicted wrongly. Then there's $750 million in penalties to the federal government, and $90 million to state bank regulators. $2.7 billion would go to participating states to finance legal aid, housing counselors and the like. I'm a fan of mediation as a step to end the foreclosure crisis, but this isn't mandatory mediation, just a resource for borrowers (and whether or not they'll know it exists is an open question). [cont'd.]
Then you have the $20 billion for principal-reduction loan modifications. We heard that refinancing of bank-owned underwater loans would be part of this as well, but maybe that's combined with this principal reduction. Apparently this would only be for bank-owned or bank-serviced loans (ones held by private investors) as well; borrowers with Fannie and Freddie-held loans wouldn't qualify for principal reduction under the settlement. That excludes quite a bit of the market, perhaps the majority of it. FHFA announced a refi plan for those Fannie and Freddie loans this past week, and there may be a principal paydown plan in the works. But there's a certain arbitrary nature to the whole thing, as the entire housing market isn't implicated in the settlement.
The biggest issue here is that banks have shown no interest in the past of actually holding to any settlement terms. That's the whole point behind Nevada AG Catherine Cortez Masto's lawsuit against Bank of America. Nevada and many other states reached a settlement on loan modifications on Countrywide mortgages, and BofA just didn't do them. The $8.7 billion in modifications promised in that deal, negotiated by Illinois and California, never materialized. In fact, as Masto showed, BofA abused the borrowers who were owed modifications. So here come many of the same AGs back to reach another settlement with BofA, and other banks, on more loan mods. Who's to say the banks will actually give them? They haven't before!
Furthermore, who's to say the banks won't credit themselves with modifications they would have done anyway without a settlement? Who's to say they won't put into the settlement mods they've done previously? Who's to say these won't be temporary mods, like HAMP mods are, which won't help borrowers avoid default?
Here's just one more example from past experience. You may have heard about the Halloween party at a foreclosure mill law firm where employees dressed up as homeless people and foreclosed borrowers. That shows you the sickening mindset at work here. But did you know that Stephen L. Baum, the law firm in question, just reached a settlement with the Justice Department over its fraudulent practices for a paltry $2 million? (New York AG Eric Schneiderman, by the way, is investigating Stephen L. Baum, not settling.) Do you think Baum, or any of the banks it routinely represents in foreclosure cases, should be expected to direct a settlement in the best interest of the homeowner?
As Yves Smith points out, the numbers on how cheap the banks are getting off, compared to other lawsuits and settlements by AGs doing their job like Masto and Delaware's Beau Biden, are pathetic:
Let's look at the damages sought by Nevada attorney general Catherine Masto in her second amended complaint against Bank of America: civil penalties of $5000 per violation, or $12,000 for elderly or disabled borrowers. An individual loan can, and likely does, have multiple violations. The suit also seeks restitution, costs for wrongful foreclosures, plus the cost of damage to municipalities and homeowners from unnecessary vacancies. Note that an AG victory on the issue of wrongful foreclosure would pave the way for private lawsuits, and here the damages would be massive, particularly if state law or precedent allows for penalties (as we've noted, Alabama has statutory tripe damages for wrongful foreclosure, and recent rulings have had applied penalties in excess of nine times).
And what did Masto get from a different servicer, Morgan Stanley's Saxon? The settlement is estimated to average somewhere between $30,000 and $57,000 per borrower. And the basis of action wasn't erroneous or fraudulent foreclosures, but deceptive practices in mortgage lending and securitization.
Look at the MERS compplaint filed by Delaware AG Beau Biden. He's suing MERS over deceptive practices, at $10,000 per violation. It's quite possible that he may find more than one violation per mortgage. And I would imagine that success against MERS would pave the way for actions against servicers who relied on MERS in the face of knowledge of its deficiencies.
Indeed, in this AG settlement, Morgenson reports that the banks would be released from liability for actions involving MERS. That flies directly in the face of Beau Biden's lawsuit and New York AG Eric Schneiderman's recent subpoena of the company.
That's the only information Morgenson gives about the liability release in exchange for this nothingburger of a penalty. Obviously, Biden, Masto and Schneiderman wouldn't sign on, and Massachusetts AG Martha Coakley said she would not involve herself in anything that indemnified MERS. AG's in Nevada, Minnesota and California had broken off from the settlement as well, but there's a lot of talk that CA's Kamala Harris is being wooed back, under extreme pressure from the Obama Administration. If she joined, that might be enough for the AGs to claim credibility, though at least some investigations would continue.
But the credibility of the liability releasers signing onto this dreck would be shot. This is a sellout of a deal, by all indications. Banks who have been on the receiving end of trillions in bailout money and emergency lending help would receive get-out-of-jail free cards for multiple crimes, without even so much as an investigation by the state and federal regulators handing out the pardons. In exchange they'd throw a few pennies to borrowers and promise to do loan modifications they haven't troubled themselves with doing under prior settlements. The tell here is that you're hearing almost nothing from Republican AGs, previously ideologically opposed to principal reductions or penalties of any kind, about dropping out of the settlement. Clearly the banks got to them and told them not to mess with a good thing.
Any Democratic AG who signs onto this might as well turn in their badge as a law enforcement official. And obviously the Obama Administration, pushing this whitewash hard, has absolutely no interest in the rule of law.
…Yves believes that AGs in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Colorado may bolt. Oregon's AG is a Democrat; the other three are Republicans. Washington's Rob McKenna is running for Governor, and his Democratic opponent Jay Inslee has been hammering him on this issue. Needless to say, whatever state you're in, I recommend you call your AG and tell them to reject this pathetic deal, and do their job of investigating the banks.

Lion Heart's Derby Crusade Starts in San Rafael
On Wednesday, Lion Heart breezed a half-mile in :47 over Santa Anita's fast main track for trainer Patrick Biancone. The move was postponed a day after heavy rains forced the main track to be closed for training on Tuesday.
"We prefer sunny days to rainy days," Biancone said. "I'm happy."
Lion Heart will break from post position seven with regular rider Mike Smith and carry top weight of 121 pounds.
Other notables set to line up and face the starter in the San Rafael include San Vicente Stakes (gr. II) winner Imperialism, San Miguel Stakes (gr. III) winner Hosco, Santa Catalina Stakes (gr. II) runner-up Lucky Pulpit, and Generous Stakes (gr. IIIT) winner Castledale, making his first start on dirt.

In other 3-year-old news, Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner Action This Day, fourth in the Feb. 8 Sham Stakes last out, worked seven furlongs in a bullet 1:24 2/5 under jockey David Flores.
"He couldn't be better," trainer Richard Mandella said.
Stablemate Halfbridled, getting ready for her first start this year in the Mar. 13 Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I), went a mile in 1:38 under Alex Solis.
"She went with a stablemate that was actually only going six (furlongs) and galloping out seven," Mandella said.
Grade II-placed Pomeroy, who will race in the $200,000 Gotham Stakes (gr. II) at Aqueduct on March 20, went seven furlongs in 1:27 2/5 with stablemate Salty Romance, a Santa Anita Oaks probable, who logged 1:26 1/5 for trainer Patrick Biancone."He broke off about six lengths or more behind her and almost caught her," Biancone said.
Pomeroy won the Kentucky Cup Juvenile (gr. III) before being disqualified and placed third for bumping a rival. He was also second in the Saratoga Special (gr. II).
Salty Romance was second to A.P. Adventure in the Santa Ysabel Stakes (gr. III) in her last start after winning the Delta Princess Stakes at Delta Downs on Dec. 5 by 5 ½ lengths.

Abdul Qowi Bastian
"And Allah has already made you victorious at Badr, when you were a weak little force. So fear Allah much [abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden, and love Allah much, perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained] that you may be grateful." Al Imran 3:123
The Battle of Badr in 624 AD was key in the early days of Islam, and a turning point in Prophet Muhammad's struggle against his opponents among the Quraish in Mecca, and the first large-scale engagement between the two forces. The Battle of Badr is one of the few skirmishes explicitly discussed in the Koran.
Italian cartographer Giovanni De Agostini Jr., who hails from an esteemed family of cartographers, has sought to explicate the Battle of Badr — as well as The Battle of Uhud (625 AD), the Battle of The Trench (627 AD) and the Battle of Khaybar (629 AD) — in his first exhibition in Indonesia which is showing until June 30.
In the late 1800s, Germany was still the global leader in cartographic production. So after graduating from university in Turin, Giovanni De Agostini Sr. decided to move to Germany to learn the German cartographic techniques from the masters.
After five years of studying the trade, De Agostini Sr. returned to Italy, where he founded the first private geographic institute, Istituto Geografico De Agostini in Rome, which produced maps and atlases.
Throughout the years, generations of De Agostini men learned and mastered the family trade, until De Agostini Jr., the fourth generation following the lead from De Agostini Sr., joined Istituto Geografico in 1964.
But De Agostini Jr.'s mission shifted from producing maps and atlases of Italian regions to the art of ancient cartography, focusing on Arab countries, and the spread of Islam.
"I'm looking for the importance of Islamic expansion throughout the world. The development of Islam started from the time when Prophet Muhammad gained the first revelation of Allah, which continued to the Rashiddun and Ummayads. This is the main focus of this exhibition," said De Agostini Jr. at the exhibition's opening night at the National Museum in Jakarta last Monday.
The Prophet Muhammad is undoubtedly the prominent and charismatic leader who built the first community of Islam in the world. But the actual spreading of Islam, argues De Agostini, began at the period of four caliphs.
The expression used to indicate this matter is "khalifat rasul Allah" (vicar, or successor of the Envoy of God). The four caliphs reigned from Medina after the death of Muhammad in 632 AD. The first four caliphs were Abu Bakr, Umar bin al-Khattab, Uthman bin Affan and Ali bin Abi Thalib. Ali, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law is considered the first head of Shiite, and started the separation with the Sunnite muslim.
Not only does the exhibition attempt to feature the beginning of the development of Islam, it also presents historical facts from the Saudi State, the era of Genghis Khan, a series of Empires, the Crusades, the Ottomans and rounds off with Indonesian history.
Islam is the most widely practiced religion in Indonesia, but few know how it arrived here. De Agostini, under the patronage of the Italian Institute of Culture Jakarta, attempts to illustrate Islam's migration to the archipelago.
The interest of commerce in Indonesian started in the 7th century when the Sriwijaya Kingdom traded with merchants from China and India. Islam was introduced by Arab merchants from Gujarat, India, and then became the predominant religion as it was adopted by many local sultans.
In a statement released by the Italian Institute of Culture in Jakarta, Federico Failla, the Ambassador of Italy to Indonesia said: "Intercultural and interfaith dialogue is one of the priorities of the Italian foreign policy, due to the fact that the geographical position of Italy lies in the middle of one of the greatest cradles of civilization.
"Italy believes that the interfaith dialogue can be an engine of progress for the whole international community, and for this reason, is deeply committed to a common action in this field with Indonesia," Failla said.
De Agostini Jr. added, "I am a Christian. But we are here on earth to uncover knowledge. Thanks to history, [Arab culture has] opened up new developments in mathematics, pharmaceuticals and medicine — among others. These were invented by the Arabs." For instance, as far back as 2750 BC, the Egyptians invented the surgical scalpel, he added.
The exhibition, De Agostini hopes, can be a reminder for mankind that the greatest discoveries and inventions are borne in a milieu of shared knowledge among different cultural currents, especially the Arabs.
This wish transcends to exhibition visitors, among them Edi, a banker.
"As a muslim, I wanted to learn more about the early development of Islam, and this cartography exhibition really helps me further understand the expansion. I have traveled to many countries depicted in these maps: Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran. I projected myself within each respective city to grasp more understanding about the history of Islam itself."

Henry Waxman, the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, just released a statement announcing that he would drop controversial net neutrality legislation, and call on the FCC to use their authority to reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service. This is a major victory for net neutrality advocates and a loss for the telecoms.
Waxman had been negotiating with industry groups on what he called an "interim measure," with a sunset date of 2012, that would have mirrored the noxious Google-Verizon policy of differentiating between the wireline and the wireless Internet, while not extending anti-discrimination protections to the wireless sphere. Open-internet advocates had grown restless in recent days about the legislation, which would have delayed the ability for the FCC to reclassify broadband for two years and also capped fines for non-compliance at $2 million dollars.
Waxman frames his decision to scrap the proposal as necessary because he could not secure bipartisan support for a broad solution:
This legislative initiative was predicated on going forward only if we had full bipartisan support in our Committee. We included the Republican staff in our deliberations and made clear that we were prepared to introduce our compromise legislation if we received the backing of Ranking Member Barton and Ranking Member Stearns.
With great regret, I must report that Ranking Member Barton has informed me that support for this legislation will not be forthcoming at this time.
This development is a loss for consumers and a gain only for the extremes. We need to break the deadlock on net neutrality so that we can focus on building the most open and robust Internet possible.
I do not close the door on moving legislation this Congress. Cooler heads may prevail after the elections. But I want my position to be clear: my goal is the best outcome for consumers. If our efforts to find bipartisan consensus fail, the FCC should move forward under Title II. The bottom line is that we must protect the open Internet. If Congress can't act, the FCC must.
You can dream up whatever motivations you want for Waxman's actions – and Joe Barton's – but the point is that Congress will not give the FCC cover anymore. And the leading members of the President's party advises the head of the main regulatory agency for the Internet to reclassify. That's the key here.
I certainly raised the alarm about Waxman's proposal, and I'm glad it failed. I guess I'm on one of the "extremes" with my extreme views that telecom companies shouldn't be allowed to set up toll booths and privilege content on the Internet. But ultimately, I want the same thing Waxman wants – for the FCC to be empowered to do its job and protect both consumers and content producers. If Julius Genachowski had no reason to delay action before, he really has no reason now.

Association of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) with established cardiovascular risk factors in the Indian population

Nutrition & Metabolism 2011, 8:19 doi:10.1186/1743-7075-8-19Published: 28 March 2011
Inflammation, the key regulator of C-reactive protein (CRP) synthesis, plays a pivotal role in atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease.
High sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) analysis was carried out in randomly selected 600 individuals from the sentinel surveillance study in Indian industrial population (SSIP). The hsCRP was measured quantitatively by turbid metric test using kits from SPINREACT, Spain. We analyzed the association between hsCRP and traditional CVD risk factors in this sub-sample.
Complete risk factor data and CRP levels were available from 581/600 individuals. One half (51.2%) of the study subjects were males. Mean age of the study group was 39.2 ± 11.2 years. The Pearson correlation coefficients were in the range of 0.12 for SBP (p = 0.004) to 0.55 for BMI (p < 0.001). The linear regression coefficients ranged from 0.01 for SBP, PG and TC (p < 0.001) to 0.55 for logeTAG (p < 0.001) after adjustment for age, sex and education. The mean of logehsCRP significantly increased (P < 0.001) from individuals with ≤1 risk factors (-0.50) to individuals with three or more risk factors (0.60). In the multivariate model, the odds ratios for elevated CRP (CRP ≥ 2.6 mg/dl) were significantly elevated only in females in comparison to males (1.63, 95% CI; 1.02-2.58), overweight individuals in comparison to normal weight individuals (3.90, 95% CI; 2.34-6.44, p < 0.001), and abdominal obese individuals (1.62, 95% CI; 1.02-2.60, p = 0.04) in comparison to non-obese individuals.
Clinical measurements of adiposity (body mass index and abdominal obesity) correlate well and can be surrogate for systemic inflammatory state of individuals.

In some combat sports there are points for escapes.
For more weirdness....
I remember having a very long debate at an Ohio Jujitsu event years ago over that.
If you took a head and arm (kesa gatame) you got NO points for it.
However, if you put it on, and the guy escaped, he got points for escaping.
I asked what he was getting points for? They said escaping the hold. I asked "How can it be a hold, if the guy got no points for putting it on?" They actually said, "Well its a hold, but we don't give points for it, only getting out of it."
It went like that for about 30 minutes with the BJJ/GJJ nut jobs all saying how crazy I was. Needless to say, the event was an interesting one, and I never returned.

More Information
Temperatures dropped to 32 degrees at San Antonio International Airport early today, the first freeze since Feb. 12, the National Weather Service said.
The low was a few degrees above the 27 predicted, but nearby Hill Country counties did dip into the high 20s.
A freeze also is expected Wednesday, said NWS forecaster Robert Blaha, but Thursday should be slightly warmer.
The strong cold front that reached the city early Monday brought wind gusts that toppled power lines and left thousands without electricity, mostly on the far West Side around U.S. 90 and Loop 410.
Residents were reminded to protect plants, pets and outdoor pipes.
CPS Energy spokeswoman Christine Patmon said the outages began about 4:45 a.m., affecting about 4,000 customers at their peak.
No rain is expected through the week, and skies should be sunny until Thursday, which will be mostly cloudy, said forecaster Constantine Pashos.
Animal Care Services officials encouraged pet owners to bring pets inside or to provide a warm insulated place outside for pets to take refuge, and to feed them a little more because they use more energy to stay warm.
CPS officials urged customers to place working smoke alarms throughout their homes and remain wary of gas leaks. Flammable liquids and spray cans should never be placed near heating equipment, officials said.

- Time to Spend: Half Day to Full Day
|Overall Rating:

|About these ratings
Part of what makes Whistler such a popular place to visit is the sense of community — and Whistler Village is where it all comes together. Located at the foot of Whistler Blackcomb Mountain and home to dozens of lodging choices, the village is a place where visitors and locals alike come to meet and mingle. Pedestrians can saunter along the Village Stroll, which is lined with ski and snowboard shops and boutiques, or pop in to one of the many restaurants and bars in the area. Another main draw of Whistler Village is the Olympic Plaza, where Olympic and Paralympic mementos sit on display and a playground and art installations pay tribute to the 2010 Winter Games. During the winter, the plaza makes way for an outdoor public ice skating rink; during the summer the Olympic Plaza plays host to an outdoor concert series, with weekly entertainment filling the streets of Whistler with arts festivals, demonstrations and dance performances.
No matter the season, the Whistler Village calendar is full of activities that captivate everyone around. You can check the Whistler tourism board's online calendar of events to learn more about what's going on during your visit.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf league held its final tournament of 2013 on Monday morning at the Hidden Valley Golf Course in Mason County.
The weather cooperated completely and the golf course was green and lush for the large number of players that showed up ready and anxious to play. It would have been difficult to find a better day for the season finale.
The format for todays action was different. All previous tournaments were based entirely on stroke play results without hansicaps. In this event, all players who had participated in a minimum of 2 tournaments (including Monday) were assigned handicaps based on their previous scores. The purpose, of course, was to level the playing field. And, for the most part, it worked. Not one of the league's age group champions finished first in todays play.
The following is a recap of todays net scores within each age group :
Age 10-and-under : Dylan Tayengco-38, Laith Hamid-42, Jay Sayre played in this group, but did not have an established handicap.
Age 11-12 Boys Division: Colby Martin-33, Gabe Gilmore-38, Jasiah Brewer-39, Carl Sayre-40, Nicholas Durst-44, Wyatt Nicholson-49.
Girls Division : Morgan Miller-35.
Age13-14: Matthew Martin & Grant Gilmore-37, Colton Blakeman-40, Jonah Hoback-43, Jacob Ratliff-44, Grant Gilmore-46, Bryce Tayengco also played in this group but without an established handicap.
Age 15-17 : Nathan Redman-36, Gus Slone-37, Dakota Sisk & Chris Brumfield-38, Logan Rosier & Michael MacKnight-39, Jordan Howell & Jacob Brewer-40, Cuyler Mills-41, Nolan Pierce-42, Jacob Hoback-44.
Age 18-19 : Seth Jarrell-38.
Before the championship plaques were distributed, all of the participants were served a lunch of pizza, chips and water/soft drinks. Also, to everyone's delight, several of the parents contributed some wonderful cookies and cupcakes.
Also each individual playing in the tournament was presented with various prizes with each receiving one or more of the following: hats, golf balls, tees, divot repair tools, ball-markers and golf towels.
Championship plaques were then presented to Laith Hamid, Jasiah Brewer, Morgan Miller, Jonah Hoback, Caitlyn Vanscoy, and Dakota Sisk.
Of course, none of todays celebration would have been possible without the support and cooperation of many people and area businesses. Appreciation goes to the area golf courses that permitted these young men and women to use their facilities.
The owners and employees of Hidden Valley Golf Course, Meigs County Golf Course, Cliffside Golf Club and Riverside Golf Club are to be commended for their efforts on behalf on junior golf in the tri-county area.

Letters to the editor (07/14/12)
Senior hunger campaign was a great success
We at Comfort Keepers wish to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the generous contribution of food and time in support of our Comfort Keepers STOP Senior Hunger campaign.
In partnership with Jose Campos, director of the Valencia County Older Americans Program, and many other county and private business volunteers we were able to make a positive impact in the lives of our valued home-bound senior citizens.
Stop Senior Hunger is annual campaign intended to educate the community about senior malnutrition issues combined with a food drive for senior friendly food items.
Although we have previously conducted this campaign in Albuquerque and the East Mountain communities, this was our first effort in Valencia County.
We are so pleased to report that we collected more than 1,300 pounds of food through the generous support of our community.
Combined with the food drives in Bernalillo and Torrance counties we almost doubled last year's food collection with more than 4,700 pounds (2.4 tons) of food!
We are feeding 278 home-bound seniors in Bernalillo County and at least 150 home-bound seniors between Valencia and Torrance counties!
Seniors deserve great nutrition to help preserve their independence longer and manage the issues associated with aging. Relatives and friends of seniors need to be aware of malnutrition risk and need tools and understanding to better support their loved ones.
We are pleased to be able to bring attention to this issue and thank you for helping Comfort Keepers make a difference in the lives of seniors in Valencia County.
We look forward to continued success in nourishing our seniors for many years to come.

Echinoderms are represented in a number of collections of potential use for ocean acidification research:
The Chagos archipelago lacks overfishing and pollution, making it potentially suitable for use as a global reference baseline for monitoring the impact of ocean acidification on local biota. Although this is predominantly a coral collection, some other taxa are included. Find out more.
The Discovery collections originate from a number of different expeditions that took place from 1901-1999. The collection of pteropods may be of particular importance for ocean acidification research, and there are a wide variety of other marine specimens as well as ocean bottom deposits and residues. Learn more.
Scientists on the 1872-76 HMS Challenger expedition collected a vast amount of natural history material from around the globe, which is accompanied by extensive taxonomic and summary reports. Get information about the Challenger collections housed at the Natural History Museum.
See a summary of what can be found in the Dry Invertebrate Store.
The collections at these institutions were surveyed for the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme.

Application ID:
Permit(s) Applied for:
Article 19 Air State Facility
Article 17 Titles 7 & 8 Industrial SPDES - Surface Discharge
Project is Located:
Rotterdam, Schenectady County
Project Description:
The applicant proposes to construct a new Green (wood fired) boiler that will produce plant steam for their facility located at 1000 Main Street, Rotterdam Junction (V), New York. The new structure will be located on the north side of the property, along the Mohawk River, west of the existing boiler building No. 27. The project involves the construction of two new buildings, one for wood chip storage and the other will house the new boiler. Operation of this new boiler requires a modification of the existing Industrial SPDES permit and a new Air State Facility permit from the Department. The SPDES permit is for additional discharges to the facilities existing on-site wastewater treatment plant, estimated to be 5 gallons per minute from operation of the new Wood Fired (Green Fuel) Boiler, associated with blow-down water from the boiler, cooling tower, and RO systems, and the ash handling wastewater which will be conveyed for treatment to the on-site treatment plant which discharges to the Mohawk River. The modification would also incorporate appropriate stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) requirements and the addition of one subsurface sanitary wastewater discharge of less than 1,000 gallons per day. The Department also proposes to renew the permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the Renewal/modified permit for a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit under Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law. This tentative determination indicates that the discharge regulated under this statute is considered to satisfy regulatory standards for permit issuance, based on information available to the Department at this time. As a tentative determination, the Department seeks comments on the proposed regulated activity prior to making a final decision on permit issuance. As such, this tentative determination does not signify Department approval for or endorsement of the activity for which a permit is sought or for the overall proposed project. The Department has also proposed a draft Air State Facility Permit for the application that was received from SI Group Inc. for discharges of Air Emissions associated with the construction/operation of the proposed Green Fuel Boiler #6. The boiler will fire unadulterated wood which shall be supplied to the site as wood chips. In order to avoid the applicability of NNSR (New Source Review In Non-attainment Areas and Ozone Transport Region) requirements of 40 tons per year for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and for volatile organic compounds (VOC), the applicant has proposed restricting the potential to emit through enforceable permit conditions which will limit or cap emissions at levels less than this value for the respective contaminants. In order to avoid the applicability of PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration) requirements of 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide (CO), 40 tons per year for oxides of nitrogen (NOx as NO2), for sulfur dioxide (SO2), and for volatile organic compounds (VOC), and 15 tons per year for total particulates (PM) and for particulates smaller than 10 microns in diameter (PM-10), the applicant has proposed restricting the potential to emit through enforceable permit conditions which will limit or cap emissions at levels less than these values for the respective contaminants. The applicant will be required to maintain records to be used to determine the monthly and twelve month rolling total emissions. The applicant will be required to report the monthly and twelve month rolling total emissions to verify compliance with permit conditions and limits.
Persons wishing to inspect the subject Air State Facility files, including the application with all relevant supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision, should contact the DEC representative below. It is recommended that an appointment be made to confirm the availability of the subject files. The DEC will endeavor to make the files available within two business days of contact, during normal business hours (8:30 AM through 4:45 PM), unless the requestor wishes to inspect the files at a later date.
DEC will evaluate comments received on the draft permit in order to determine whether to hold a public hearing. A public hearing may be legislative or adjudicatory.
A legislative public hearing is a proceeding which provides an additional opportunity for public comment. DEC's determination to hold a legislative public hearing will be based on whether a significant degree of public interest exists. If a legislative public hearing is to be held, a Notice of Hearing will be published which will include the time and place of the hearing and submitting comments. The applicant and all persons who have filed comments on the permit will be notified by mail of the public hearing. Comments and requests for a legislative hearing should be in writing and addressed to the Department representative listed below.
An adjudicatory public hearing is a trial type proceeding which provides the opportunity for adjudication on the basis of evidence, including direct testimony and cross examination. An adjudicatory hearing is held only if substantive and significant issues exist that are related to any findings or determinations the Department is required to make pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law. A copy of the Department's permit hearing procedures is available upon request or on the Department's web site: at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/4483.html.
Availability of Application Documents:
Filed application documents, and Department draft permits where applicable, are available for inspection during normal business hours at the address of the contact person. To ensure timely service at the time of inspection, it is recommended that an appointment be made with the contact person.
State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Determination:
Project is a Type I action and will not have a significant effect on the environment. A coordinated review with other agencies was performed and a Negative Declaration is on file.
SEQR Lead Agency: Rotterdam Town Planning Board
State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA) Determination:
A Structural-Archaeological Assessment Form has been completed. The proposed activity will not impact on registered, eligible or inventoried archaeological sites or historic structures.
Coastal Management:
This project is not located in a Coastal Management area and is not subject to the Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act.
Opportunity for Public Comment:
Comments on this project must be submitted in writing to the Contact Person no later than Jun 06, 2008.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A steep fall in gas costs pushed down a measure of U.S. consumer prices last month, keeping inflation mild.
The Labor Department says the seasonally adjusted consumer price index dropped 0.3 percent in November, after a 0.1 percent increase the previous month. Gas prices fell 7.4 percent, the steepest drop in nearly four years. That offset a 0.2 percent rise in food prices.
In the past year, consumer prices have risen 1.8 percent, down from October's 12-month increase of 2.2 percent.
Excluding volatile food and gas, prices ticked up 0.1 percent in November and have risen 1.9 percent in the past year. Higher rents, airline fares and new cars pushed up core prices. The cost of clothing and used cars fell.

Last season, the Washington Nationals emerged as the top team in the National League East. The Philadelphia Phillies had their turn between 2007 and 2011. The New York Mets also spent a season at the top in 2006. And, of course, Atlanta dominated the division for the previous eleven seasons.
But who has the power to win the division title this season? Hopefully, this piece clears that question up just a little bit.
Washington Nationals
Last season: 98-64 (.605), 1st in NLE;
Season result: Lost in NLDS (STL);
Player to watch: Ryan Zimmerman is coming off a decent 2012 season. The Nats' third baseman, through 145 games, tallied a .282 batting average; Zimmerman also drove in 95 runs and lifted 25 homeruns. These numbers are middle-of-the-road at best for a former all-star. In order for the Nationals to continue their success in 2013, Zimmerman will have to return to the way he was in 2010, when he hit .307 and had an on-base percentage of .388. Of course, phenom pitcher Stephen Strasburg is coming off his best year in the big leagues. Strasburg went 15-6 last season with a 3.16 ERA. The all-star struck out 197 batters in just 159.1 innings before being shut down at the start of the playoffs. A large portion of Washington's success lies within the hands of these two players.
Atlanta Braves
Last season: 94-68 (.580), 2nd in NLE;
Season result: Lost in one-game Wild Card series (STL);
Player to watch: Jason Heyward is coming off his best season in the big leagues. The former all-star, who is just 22 years old, hit .269 with 27 homeruns and 82 RBIs in 158 games in 2012. Heyward is going to prove big for the Braves this season, their first without Chipper Jones. Chipper was the backbone of the organization for many years; Heyward is young and has the ability to step into the leadership role. Of course, Heyward will have the company of the Upton brothers in the outfield this year. Justin and BJ Upton combined for 45 homeruns, 145 RBIs, and 186 runs in 2012. Atlanta's outfielders will have a big impact on their potential success in the upcoming season.
Philadelphia Phillies
Last season: 81-81 (.500), 3rd in NLE;
Season result: Missed playoffs;
Player to watch: The biggest part of the Phils' success is, without a doubt, Roy Halladay. The five-time all-star and two-time Cy Young winner is an ace that has to make other teams envious of Philadelphia. Doc's numbers have declined over the past three years, but that's not to say he is not one of the best pitches in Major League Baseball. Doc's best season in a Phillies' uniform came in 2010; he posted a 21-10 record, a 2.44 ERA, 9 complete games, and just 74 runs allowed in 250.2 innings pitched. Halladay's season was shortened in 2012 due to some personal issues, but he still managed an 11-8 record, a 4.49 ERA, and 156.1 innings. It's simple: Halladay success = Phillies success. Roy has to produce on the mound for the Phils to have a chance at the playoffs--the Phillies' offense was ranked 19th in the league last year and they have not done much in the offseason to improve upon that.
New York Mets
Last season: 74-88 (.457), 4th in NLE;
Season result: Missed playoffs;
Player to watch: The typical response to this question is David Wright or Johan Santana, but I've already done articles on each. I want to take a look at Ike Davis and just how much he can impact this Mets' offense. New York really missed Ike in 2011 when an ankle injury allowed him only 36 games. Last year, though, the first-baseman played in 156 games and hit 32 homeruns. Ike drove in 90 runs and hit .227. He is solid on defense, as well, committing only 8 errors in 2012. A large portion of the Mets' power comes from Davis' bat and his glove is definitely an asset. I like Ike, as do many Mets fans, and he is going to have to help this team out in 2013 in order to make things interesting.
Miami Marlins
Last season: 69-93 (.426), 5th in NLE;
Season result: Missed playoffs;
Player to watch: The Marlins' made a big move after the 2011 season by signing former Mets' shortstop Jose Reyes. However, the acquisition proved to have little effect on the 2012 season in Miami. Reyes won the batting title as a Met in '11 with a .337 batting average. Last season's numbers weren't quite as impressive. Jose hit .287 last year and drove in 57 runs out of the lead-off spot. Reyes' 12 triples and 37 doubles were standard when compared to his career totals. Reyes' defense, though, was not always top-of-the-line. He committed 18 errors in 2012, tying a career-high. In November, Reyes was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. Who will step up this season and fill the role that Reyes was supposed to play?
With all of that said, where do the teams stack up in 2013? I like the Nationals to win the division again; they have emerged from a developing team to one of the better, young teams in baseball.
Projected Standings
Washington Nationals;
Atlanta Braves;
New York Mets;
Philadelphia Phillies;
Miami Marlins;
I think the Braves have a real good chance at proving me wrong. Their potent offense will definitely carry them in 2013. They finished just four games behind the Nats last season and can certainly give Washington a run for their money in 2013.
I am constantly sharing my opinions on everything sports-related on twitter, so be sure to give me a follow. Next week, I will take a look at each team's 2013 Spring Training results thus far and determine who's hot and who's not.
