WASHINGTON, D.C. — The use of lithium ion batteries to power aircraft systems isn't necessarily unsafe despite a battery fire in one Boeing 787 Dreamliner and smoke in another, but manufacturers need to build in reliable safeguards, the nation's top aviation safety investigator said Wednesday.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said she doesn't want to "categorically" rule out the use of lithium ion batteries to power aircraft systems, even though it's clear that safeguards failed in the case of a Japan Airlines 787 that had a battery fire while parked at Boston's Logan International Airport last month.
"Obviously what we saw in the 787 battery fire in Boston shows us there were some risks that were not mitigated, that were not addressed," Hersman told reporters in an interview. The fire was "not what we would have expected to see in a brand new battery in a brand new airplane," she said.
The 787 is the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium batteries. Aircraft makers view lithium batteries, which are lighter and can store more energy than other types of batteries of an equivalent size, as an important way to save on fuel costs. The Airbus A350, expected to be ready next year, will also make extensive use of lithium ion batteries. Manufacturers are also looking to retrofit existing planes, replacing other types of batteries with lithium ion.
But lithium batteries are more likely to short circuit and start a fire than other batteries if they are damaged, if there is a manufacturing flaw or if they are exposed to excessive heat.
The board is still weeks away from determining the cause of the Jan. 7 battery fire, Hersman said.
Investigators are also looking into the special conditions the Federal Aviation Administration required Boeing to meet in order to use lithium ion batteries to power the 787's electrical systems, she said.
A government-industry advisory board that works closely with the FAA issued testing standards for lithium batteries used in aircraft operations several months after the agency had approved a separate testing regime for the 787's batteries.
"What happens is that when an aircraft is certified it basically gets locked into the standards that were in existence at the time," Hersman said. Oftentimes tougher standards will come along later, but aren't applied to already-approved aircraft designs. "Those are issues we do look at regularly in our investigations and it is something I'm sure we will be focusing on with the battery," she said.
Investigators have been working very closely with the FAA on a review the agency has under way of its sanctioning of the 787's certification for flight, Hersman said. The FAA awarded the certification in August 2011.
"We are evaluating assessments that were made, whether or not those assessments were accurate, whether they were complied with and whether more needs to be done," she said. "I think that is important before this airplane is back in the air, to really understand what the risks are and that they're mitigated effectively."
Nine days after the battery fire in Boston, another battery overheated on an All Nippon Airways 787, leading to an emergency landing in Japan. The same day, FAA officials ordered U.S. carriers with 787s – there's only one, United Airlines, with six planes – to ground the planes. Aviation authorities in other countries swiftly followed suit. In all, 50 planes operated by seven airlines in six countries are grounded.
The 787 is Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced plane. The groundings have become a nightmare for the company, which has about 800 Dreamliner orders from airlines around the globe.
Boeing was already spending more money on each 787 it built than it collected from airlines who bought it. On Wednesday, UBS analyst David Strauss estimated that Boeing will spend some $6 billion in cash this year on the plane, while an "extended 787 grounding would result in an even bigger cash burn," he wrote.
"As long as (the) 787 remains grounded, Boeing is faced with the choice of either slowing production or building physical inventory. It will build inventory for now," he wrote. Boeing already has about 46 787s that have been built but not yet delivered. Many of those were built early on and require more work before they can be handed over to customers.
Boeing currently builds five 787s per month. After the groundings it reiterated its plans to boost production to 10 per month by the end of the year, and said it planned to deliver at least 60 of the jets this year.

Take a tour of Savor Fusion, Flushing's newest food court. More
Opened just a few months ago, New World Mall's Food Court has become my new favorite Asian food place in Flushing, Queens. Take the escalator down to the basement level to find an impressive variety of Asian, largely Chinese, food offered; you can find almost all the regional Chinese cuisines, from Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles to Fuzhou fishball soups to Tianjin dumplings.

It's hard to duplicate the almost otherworldly experience of dining at a Korean food court without catching a plane to Seoul—but Food Gallery 32, the new food court in the middle of Manhattan's Koreatown, is pretty otherworldly in its own right. That it's a fun place almost goes without saying—but what about the food? More
Since Food Gallery 32 doesn't have a website, online menus, or any easy online access point, here's our guide to each of the stalls—complete with menus. Enjoy! More

Very comfortable
The top runs true to size. I ordered a 12 thinking I had gained that much weight. I normally wear a 10 and that would have fit better. I will order this in other colors. The fabric is soft and very comfortable

So Comfy
Love, love this top. It hides that mommy pouch that I have been trying to get rid of for 16 years and just doesn't want to go away no matter what I do. I don't feel like I have to go around sucking my gut in all the time. I can walk around and no one can tell that I am letting it all out. Works great as a top to wear with shorts or jeans incase you are at a party and just want to take the bottoms off and leave the top on. No one can really tell the difference!

An Outlandish Bit Of Cross-Promotion: Sherlock Holmes and... Taquitos?
Sadly, today's pick for most startling on-the-street advertising isn't a joke, though it sure seems like it. I must have missed that moment in the series when Sherlock Holmes expressed his passionate enthusiasm for taquitos. I always thought he was more of a Slurpee guy. I can almost see the advertisement: "It's elementary, my dear Watson. Slurpees taste GOOD."
(Hat tip to Chris Gebert—whose reflection makes an appearance in the photo—for spotting this outlandish bit of cross-promotion.)

The Swamp Fox Players is now presenting Boeing Boeing at The Strand Theater in Georgetown.
Performance dates are May 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and May 4 and 11 at 2:30 p.m.
Director Inge Ebert, a Swamp Fox Players veteran, says this play is super funny.
It is basically one comedic situation after another, Ebert said. This play is one of those farces that allows you to forget your troubles for a little over two hours and laugh at other peoples antics.
Bernard, an American in Paris, has the setup of the decade.
He has three girlfriends who all believe he will marry them.
They are all flight attendants working for three different airlines on three different schedules, so nothing can happen for any of them to ever meet.
Its perfect. Then, they all get put on faster airplanes, and you can well imagine what happens.
Add his friend Robert, who wants to get in on the action, and the housekeeper who has to keep things straight, and you will be in for an evening of laughter.
The cast is Tom Newmister as Bernard, Mary ODonnell as Gloria, Jo Camlin as Bertie (house keeper), Robbie ODonnell as Robert, Ariane Lieberman as Gabriella, and Robin Hearl as Gretchen.
Ebert said she first saw this Tony Award-winning play in Germany, her native country, and has wanted to direct it for a long time.
She said it was difficult to obtain the rights to produce the play because it was being rewritten.
There are some absolutely fabulous lines in there, she said.
And timing always fascinates me in a comedy.
She credits Roger Goedtel, the set designer, and the cast and crew for pitching in to decorate the set.
Ebert urges people to come out to see this comedy.
It truly will be an evening of fun, Ebert said.
All tickets are $15.

Kaga-shi, Japan
Prices From: $490 per person
This luxury ryokan is located in the small hot springs village of Yamanaka in Ishikawa prefecture. The village remains much the same as it has for many years, seemingly untouched by time. The inn is surrounded by majestic trees and lovingly nurtured gardens encircled by thickly forested hills. A stroll through Kayotei is one of discovery, for original painted screens, fine works of pottery, and antique tansu adorn the hallways and spaces of this inn.
Kayotei's ten suite rooms are arranged in the traditional sukiya style of a tea ceremony pavilion. Guests wear no slippers in this ryokan; the walkways are tatami, as one would in the home of a relative or close friend. These are the rare and subtle differences that make time spent in Kayotei such a warm and welcoming experience.
Ever since the 8th century Kayotei's onsen springs have been renowned for their soothing and curative properties. The baths are pure luxury, as befitting such special waters. Kayotei's main bath is surrounded by towering glass walls which seem to draw the pristine forested hills inside. The baths are always open, and with only ten guest rooms at this ryokan this experience may well be all your own.

Make your predictions with the results to be tabulated after the Canada match. My prediction - Donovan will surprise in a good way (OK, I know he is not in camp but I like long shots).

So pretty!
Very pretty! Your home is lovely!
Lovely! I love the glow of twinkle lights at night. Beautiful.
Beautiful home! I get sad when I have to take down our Christmas lights too. There's something about that cozy glow that is so wonderful!
The whole tour is beautiful (love the reindeer on your table too). I think I commented on your mantle from another link party. If not I meant to b/c it's wonderful and obviously stands out! I've seen a million Christmas tours in blogland and I remember that one!
Your pictures really capture the beauty of your decorations. Great job with both! And I'm totally digging the Christmas tree.
Beautifully decorated beautiful home. Just wondering, how big is that table? The deer I've seen like that are way too big to be in my house, as nice as it looks there. In the area where I live, it would be an outdoor decoration with lights intertwined within the body.
Visiting from The Nester, your home is beautifully done for the holidays. Love it. Following you. Diane

Join the Judicial Evaluation Committee
One of the most direct ways we can make our voices heard in the larger legal community and serve Washington's citizens is to formally rate candidates for judicial elections and persons seeking appointment to the bench.
Committee participation typically involves monthly interviews of candidates/applicants, reviewing the candidate/applicant's materials, and conducting reference checks. Interviews last approximately thirty minutes followed immediately by committee discussion for rating purposes. Interviews occur on weeknights or Saturday mornings, usually in sessions of three to four interviews, resulting in about a three hour time commitment per session. The committee rarely meets more than once per month for interviews.
Committee members agree to serve for at least one year and actively participate. If you are interested in joining the committee, please email the Chair at firstname.lastname@example.com. Five years of experience as a practicing attorney is encouraged, but not required.

Chenault's Layoffs
The press coverage of American Express's announcement that it will eliminate 5,400 jobs (the New York Times printed an Associated Press dispatch; Bloomberg coverage is here; the Wall Street Journal' article is here) manages to omit the highly pertinent fact that the American Express CEO, Kenneth Chenault, is a member of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
If it were some Wall Street-White House crony of a Republican president announcing significant layoffs, it's hard to imagine that the press would miss the opportunity to make the connection.

A full assessment and education about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the beginning of treatment. ADHD causes suffering: psychological hurt, failure, and conflict with others. The understanding that difficulties with attention are at the heart of some of this suffering may lead to relief. The title of the popular book You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! expresses this feeling.
It is not easy to train, discipline, or educate children to control their symptoms of ADHD. Children and adults with ADHD are not always aware of the behaviors that annoy others. Even when insight is present, these symptoms are often involuntary and never processed consciously. Individuals with ADHD know what they should do, and they could do most of these activities. The problem arises with how they actually perform in daily life. Medication improves the symptoms and therefore has an immediate and powerful impact on the impairment that these symptoms produce.
The 2 stimulants most commonly used are methylphenidate (Ritalin® or Ritalin SR®) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®). These stimulants vary in how often they need to be taken during the day, as well as in their side effects. Some individuals who do poorly on one medication may do better on another. More than 75% of patients will improve on one or another stimulant. These drugs are not addictive. The side effects include decreased appetite, stomachaches, insomnia, irritability (especially when the medication is wearing off), and tics. If overmedicated, some children are described as too quiet. There are more than 350 studies that demonstrate unequivocally that these medications are effective for ADHD-combined type in children. There are good studies that also demonstrate that the medication is just as effective for adults. We have less research to demonstrate that the medication is effective for preschoolers and ADHD-inattentive types. Although there is some support for using methylphenidate in preschoolers who have moderate-to-severe ADHD and have not improved with behavior therapy, it is important to talk to a health care provider about whether or not the benefits of using this medication will outweigh the risks. We also do not have follow-up data on how the medication
affects long-term outcome beyond 2 years.
It is possible to change the environment to be more ADHD-friendly so that the symptoms of ADHD cause less trouble. For children this might include placement in a specialized classroom, more supervision, increased consequences and rewards, making work more interesting, avoiding difficult situations (such as restaurants or birthday parties), and finding other activities that lead to success, such as skiing or computers. In adults this might mean finding an ADHD-friendly occupation, delegating organizationally challenging tasks and paperwork, and using reminders, sticky notes, cell phones, computers, or other aids. Educating oneself and one's family and friends to understand ADHD helps affirm that the difficult behaviors that go along with ADHD are neither willful, nor personal, nor spiteful.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/617,816, filed on Oct. 11, 2004, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to a lottery game, and more particularly to a lottery game in which a game piece accumulates points according to the performance of the participants of a sporting event.
2. Description of the Related Art
Many governments and/or gaming organizations sponsor wagering games known as lotteries. A typical lottery game entails players selecting permutations or combinations of numbers. This is followed by a "draw," wherein the lottery randomly selects a combination or permutation of numbered balls. Prizes are awarded based on the number of matches between a player's selection and the drawn numbers. The drawn numbers are well-publicized, and multi-million-dollar-jackpot lotteries are popular throughout the world.
Lotteries have become an important source of income to governments as they shoulder much of the financial burden for education and other programs. However, as governments have grown more dependent on lotteries it has become a challenge to sustain public interest therein. One approach to invigorating lottery sales is to expand game content beyond traditional combination/permutation games in the hope that the new games will help keep current players, as well as draw in new players.
In the pursuit of new lottery games, certain goals must be met. The lottery must be able to control the payout to the player. Ideally, the payout should be the same for all players regardless of skill. Short of that, the expected payout should fall within a range, i.e., there is an acceptable lower and upper bound to the expected player payout. Even in jurisdictions where lottery games are allowed to have elements of skill, such elements may limit the market for the game. In particular, games that involve skill-based sports wagering tend to exclude potential players who enjoy following sports but who lack confidence in their ability to predict outcomes.
There are also certain features of traditional lottery games that appeal to players and that ideally should be retained as new content is developed. One of the characteristics of a traditional lottery game is that players can win a prize for achieving a specific outcome, regardless of how many other players have achieved that outcome.
For example, a typical "lotto" game requires players to choose six distinct numbers from the set of integers ranging from to 49. Once the game sales are cut off, the lottery then chooses or "draws" six integers from the same set at which point all players whose selections match 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the lottery's selections win a prize, as established by the lottery. Thus the laws of probability, not the rules of the game, control the number of winners. Moreover, players can determine whether they have won a prize without any knowledge of how other players have fared. In particular, a player will never have the disappointing experience of believing that his outcome was good enough to win a prize only to learn later that he has not won because too many other players had better outcomes.
A means of controlling the number of winners is particularly important when awarding "churn" prizes, small prizes that are won relatively frequently and that help to maintain players' interest. Without some control on the number of winners, the lottery risks having a disproportionate number of churn-prize winners, forcing it either to pay out more than it had budgeted for these prizes, or to award small prizes that players find disappointing, if not insulting.
One approach to developing new lottery games is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,656,042, which discloses a system and method for playing an interactive lottery game having results based on the outcome of sporting events. In the embodiment described in the '042 patent, the player receives a game piece listing three athletes (a basketball player, an auto racer, and a hockey player) and three upcoming sporting events in which the athletes will participate. The performance of the athletes in these events determines the value, measured in "points," of the game piece. For example, the game piece acquires points whenever the basketball player scores a point or makes an assist. The winning game piece is the one that has the greatest accumulated point value, with ties broken by some rule decided in advance.
A limitation of the method described in the '042 patent is that it does not provide a mechanism for awarding prizes based on the number of points accumulated. In this sense, it fails to meet the expectations of traditional lottery players that meeting a specific criterion, independent of other lottery players' outcomes, should qualify a player for a prize. As disclosed, a suitable lottery game or method will not have this feature as it is impossible to say in advance how many points will be available and how they will be distributed among the athletes participating in the given events. For example, in the sample embodiment, the first portion of the ticket refers to a basketball player who will play in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, for example. One cannot say in advance how many points will be scored against the Lakers. Even if one could say that 100 points, for example, would be scored, it is possible that 10 players could score 10 points each or that 5 players could score 20 points each. Thus it is not possible to derive a probability distribution on the total number of points a game piece might achieve, and therefore a given point level might be achieved by a very large or very small number of game pieces, even if the indicia are randomly distributed among the game pieces. As a result, prizes are necessarily based on the relative values of the game pieces.
Another method for playing a fantasy sports game related to an elimination tournament is disclosed by U. S. Pat. No. 6,669,565. This method has a substantial skill element, however, and therefore has the limitations for use with a lottery game as described above. See also Combinatorial Algorithms: Generation, Enumeration, and Search, Donald L. Kreher and Douglas R. Stinson., CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla. 1998; and Enumerative S, Vol. 1, Richard P. Stanley, Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole, Monterrey, Calif., 1986, generally.
The present invention is therefore directed to a sporting event based lottery game wherein the lottery game result depends on the performance of competitors in the sporting event and the prize determination process does not involve any comparison among the game tickets.
The invention comprises a sports lottery in which a game piece accumulates points according to the performance of sports figures that are represented by indicia on the game piece in which prizes are awarded to players holding game pieces that accumulate a number of points that is specified before a selected sports event competition begins. In particular, the prize determination process does not involve any comparison among the game pieces. The present invention has no skill element, and because of the structure of the tournament, it is possible, as will be explained, to compute probabilities of specific outcomes and to award prizes based on these outcomes.
In one embodiment, the invention is a method of playing a fixed-odds sporting event based lottery game wherein a pool of competitors compete in the sporting event. The method includes selecting a plurality of competitors from the pool of competitors, assigning an individual score to each of the plurality of competitors according to their individual performance in the sporting event, determining a total score for the plurality of competitors based on the individual score of each of the plurality of competitors, and receiving a prize according to the total score.
In this description, teams, participants and competitors, are used interchangeably. The present invention relates to a lottery game where the game outcomes are determined by the performances of teams or players that are competing in a tournament, wherein at the end of the tournament the participants will have been partitioned into a plurality of categories and the plurality of participants in each category is predetermined by the rules of the tournament. For example, a 4-team basketball tournament is being held in which on the first day Teams A and B play each other and Teams C and D play each other, and on the second day the previous day's winners play each other for 1st place, and the previous day's losers play each other for 3 rd place (The losers of the second day's games finish 2nd and 4th, respectively). There are at least two ways to categorize these teams based on the results of the tournament. One could categorize them as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place teams (one team in each category), or one could categorize them by the number of games that they won: 2, 1, or 0 (1 team, 2 teams, and 1 team in these categories, respectively). The relevant feature common to both systems is that one can say with certainty in advance how many teams will be in each category, even if the particular teams in a category cannot be predicted.
In one embodiment of the invention, the sponsoring organization offers for sale tickets that list one or more indicia corresponding to participants or competitors in the tournament. This list is randomly selected by means of a random number generator that resides on some part of the lottery system. Depending on the particular embodiment, the order of the list may or may not be relevant to the outcome of the lottery game. As the tournament progresses, participants may earn points for every round of the tournament in which they advance or otherwise earn points based on the category determined by their performance. The point value of a ticket is the total number of points earned by the participants represented by the indicia on the ticket. Tickets of equal point value may be further distinguished from each other on the basis of the degree to which the order of the indicia on the ticket corresponds to the relative performance in the tournament of the participants represented by the game indicia.
At the time the lottery game is offered, the lottery authority provides players with a prize table that lists the possible outcomes that a ticket may achieve together with prize values that correspond to those outcomes. This prize table can be made available to each point of sale of lottery tickets. Depending on the lottery authority's preference, the prize values may be set amounts or they may be estimated average values based on the percentage of sales that are allocated to funding that prize level coupled with the mathematical expectation of the number of winners for that outcome. In either case, a crucial element of the prize table is the odds or probability of each outcome. The method for computing these odds is discussed in the sample embodiments below.
In another embodiment of the game, the game outcomes may be based upon the total point values for the tickets. A given point value may be subdivided into two or more outcomes based on the order of the participants listed on the ticket, as is also illustrated in the sample embodiments below.
After the tournament is completed, the lottery's central system, which includes a computerized network as known to those skilled in the art, will determine the value of each ticket by determining the number of points the ticket has earned, applying criteria, if any, related to the order of the indicia, and using the prize table to determine the prize value of the ticket, if any. Players may then collect their winnings by having their lottery game tickets validated by an authorized lottery retailer. Moreover, if the lottery's system supports player accounts, the players' winnings may be automatically credited to their respective lottery accounts.
Yet another embodiment of this invention may be based on a soccer tournament, for example the World Cup, in which 32 teams compete for the championship. The first round of the tournament consists of round-robin play in 8 groups of 4 teams each, with the top 2 teams from each group advancing to the elimination portion of the tournament. Once 16 teams have been determined, they play in elimination rounds, where 8 teams, then 4 teams, then 2 teams, are eliminated from championship contention. The final 2 teams play against each other for the championship. In addition, the 2 teams that were eliminated in the semi-finals play against each other for 3 rd place. Thus there are a total of 16 matches played after the initial round-robin matches. Moreover, one can see that at the end of the tournament 1 team will have won 4 of these matches, 2 teams will have won 3 matches, 1 team will have won 2 matches, 8 teams will have won 1 match, and the other 24 teams that started the tournament will not win any elimination-round matches, either because they did not qualify for that portion of the tournament or because they lost their first elimination match. Thus the number of matches won is a basis for partitioning the participating teams into 5 categories.
In the sample embodiment, a lottery player purchases for $2, although any desired form of currency and in any desired amount as established by the sponsoring lottery organization, a ticket 100 as illustrated in
The following example shows how the odds may be computed for this type of lottery game. Consider the event where a ticket earns exactly 9 points. This can happen in one of three ways: a) 1 team on the ticket earns 4 points, 1 earns 3 points, and 2 earn 1 point; b) 1 team earns 4 points, 1 earns 3 points, 1 earns 2 points, and 1 earns none; or c) 2 teams earn three points, 1 earns 2 points, and 1 earns point. Since the teams are placed on the tickets randomly, the probability of each case can be computed as follows.
Note that in general, if k objects are selected from a set S of cardinality n that is partitioned into subsets S1, S2, . . . , Sm with cardinalities n1, n2, . . . , nm respectively, then for nonnegative integers k1, k2, . . . , km with k1+k2+ . . . +km=k the probability that exactly ki, of the objects are from Si, for i=1, . . . , m is
The rest of the prize table is computed similarly, with the exception of the top two prize tiers. Using the method showed above, one can compute that the probability of a ticket earning 12 points is
The computation of these odds is facilitated by a method of automatically generating a list of all possible ways of expressing a positive integer n as an ordered sum of k nonnegative integers. For example, in the calculations above one may make use of a list of all the possible ways of writing 4 as a sum of 5 nonnegative integers, where order matters, i.e. 0+2+0+1+1 is distinct from 1+1+0+0+2. It is well known within combinatorial mathematics that these can be put in one-to-one correspondence with (k−1)−element subsets of a (n+k−1)−element set; see for example pp. 14-15 of Stanley's Enumerative Combinatorics, Vol. 1. Methods for generating all such subsets are also well-known; see pp. 43-52 of Kreher and Stinson's Combinatorial Mathematics: Generation, Enumeration, and Search.
Another sample embodiment is based on a soccer tournament in which there are 16 teams, 8 of whom progress to the elimination rounds. From this point on the tournament progresses in the same way as in the previous embodiment, except that there is no match to determine the 3rd place team. Accordingly, in this embodiment illustrated by
The foregoing descriptions present only exemplary embodiments. Those of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the invention may be applied to a wide range of sports tournament structures and that even within a given tournament structure many variations are possible by adjusting the assignment of points to participants, for example by awarding more points for matches won in the later rounds of the tournament. Moreover, the invention may be applied to any reality-based event, sporting or otherwise, that results in the partition of a plurality of participants into a plurality of categories, where the plurality of participants within each category is known in advance. These applications and variations thereof are contemplated as being within the scope of the present invention.

ERWIN — Yard signs that read "We want the shelter, not a pound" can still be seen in front of a number of homes in the town of Erwin and, if a proposed solution to that will provide the shelter with equal funding from each of Unicoi County's governments is approved, those who chose to display these signs may just get their wish.
The mayors representing Unicoi County's three governmental entities met on Tuesday morning to again discuss the animal shelter's funding situation, and a proposed resolution will be up for the Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen's consideration when the panel meets this Monday.
Erwin Mayor Doris Hensley said through the proposed agreement, Unicoi County would be tasked with providing countywide animal control services, meaning the town of Erwin would not follow through with operating its own shelter independent of the Unicoi County Animal Shelter.
Per the proposal, the towns of Erwin and Unicoi would contract with Unicoi County to provide animal control for their municipalities.
"In doing that, the town of Erwin will save approximately $40,000 a year," Hensley said.
Hensley said the town would save this money because the town of Erwin would abolish its animal control officer position, for which it provides the entire salary. The county would instead be in charge of two countywide animal control officers, Hensley said.
According to the proposed agreement, each of Unicoi County's three government's would contribute approximately $43,000 annually to go toward shelter salary expenses, with the shelter also contributing some funding of its own.
According to the interlocal agreement enacted around seven years ago to establish the Unicoi County Animal Shelter, each of the county's three governments was to contribute equal annual funding to the Unicoi County Animal Welfare Board to go to the county's animal shelter. The Animal Welfare Board sought approximately $23,000 in funding from each of the governmental entities in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted in June not to contribute to the Animal Welfare Board in the new fiscal year, instead opting to move forward with plans to have the town operate its own, separate animal shelter. Hensley previously said reasons for the move included cost savings, expectations the Animal Welfare Board had for the town's animal control officer that differed from those spelled out in the interlocal agreement, and the Animal Welfare Board's failure to provide the town of Erwin with a required audit.
In July, the Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted for the town to provide one-half of the funding sought by the Animal Welfare Board. Per this vote, if a funding solution was reached by Jan. 1, the town would contribute the other half of the funding.
Since then, the mayor have discussed a possible solution several times. Unicoi County Mayor Greg Lynch said Tuesday that he and Unicoi County Animal Shelter bookkeeper JoAnn Tatro previously worked out a funding formula that would equalize what each entity would contribute.
Hensley said if the agreement discussed by the mayors on Tuesday is approved at Monday's board of mayor and aldermen meeting, the animal shelter would be audited as part of the county's standard annual audit, so that concern would be resolved. She also said changes may be made to the interlocal agreement.
"The interlocal agreement will have to be changed some but, once we get the concept approved Monday night, then our attorneys will come together to come up with an agreement that we'll bring back to our respective boards for approval," Hensley said.
Lynch said the county would be charged with dispersing the contributions provided by the towns of Erwin and Unicoi if the proposal is approved.
"I guess the number one thing is we're going to have one animal shelter," he said.
Still, Lynch said day-to-day operations of the Unicoi County Animal Shelter would remain essentially the same if the agreement is passed. As an example, he said the collection of adoption fees would still be up to the shelter.
"The director of the animal shelter is going to be the director of the animal shelter and is going to be over all employees," Lynch said. "There will still be (an Animal Welfare Board), and most of the responsibility, as far as operation of the shelter personnel-wise, will fall to the county."
But both animal control officers would come through the county's payroll, if the agreement is approved and, like other animal shelter employees, would be considered county employees. He said these officers will be dispatched by the animal shelter.
"They'll just be animal shelter employees, Unicoi County employees, and they will enforce the ordinances," Lynch said.
Lynch said there may be changes to the Animal Welfare Board. Hensley said she and town of Unicoi Mayor Johnny Lynch will assume to vacant seats on the board for a period of six months. The county mayor said he will monitor the actions of the board and act as a liaison between the Unicoi County Animal Shelter director and the Animal Welfare Board if needed.
"We've got to work out the logistics of the chain of command but, basically, the animal shelter director will be in charge," he said.
While he said the proposed resolution is still fluid and additional changes may be needed, Greg Lynch said it demonstrates that the county's three governments can work together on issues to benefit all.
"This shows that the three entities can cooperate," he said. "It's one of at least a couple of things that we have interlocal agreements on...It proves that Unicoi, Unicoi County and the town of Erwin can work together to solve problems."
Unicoi Mayor Johnny Lynch said he is happy to see that a possible resolution may be near.
"I'm glad that we got this thing worked out, and I think the Humane Society and Animal Welfare Board should be happy about this, and everyone concerned should be happy about this," he said. "I'm glad to see it get settled. I think this will benefit everybody."
Hensley said she is hopeful her board acts favorably toward the proposal when it is considered this Monday.
"I will be extremely happy to see this settled," she said.

Comments, questions and tips
Even after reading the other comments, I still didn't use enough mint and had to add mint sauce after I'd blitzed (all of) it. I also used a clove of garlic and found it needed quite a bit of salt and pepper. My preference was to make it totally smooth by putting it through a sieve, as I didn't like the bits of pea shells!
Made this tonight but didn't have any mint, fresh or dried, so I put in half a teaspoon of mint sauce along with the peas. Was worried that it wasn't all the right colour at first but it came out lovely and green once I blitzed it at the end. Added 1 garlic clove along with the onion and a pinch of salt and pepper at the end and it was delicious. Will make again.
check this super easy broccoli soup recipe... 20 minutes preparation and delicious outcome at marmite et ponpon
One of my favourite soups (have had this recipe for a few years now)! It's super easy to make and tastes lovely. Makes for a great leftover lunch as well! Try making it with or without peeling the potatoes for different taste/texture (and time spent in the kitchen...). I'd recommend adding a bit more mint to really get a minty kick. Only problem is I once spilled this soup all over the office floor at work, and the office smelt of mint for DAYS...
Fab! I know the title says 'Minty' but I don't think that's really the important part of this recipe, and from the sounds of other reviews it doesn't sound like everyone else does either. I couldn't get hold of mint but I did have some fresh sage, so I added just a smidge of that - not too much as it's very strong.
I've not sat down to a bowlful yet as I'll be eating it for my lunches this week, but I've had a few spoonfuls and it's delicious! So easy as well. I was cooking it on the side while I was making tonight's dinner. I do agree that you should get a good stock cube though (try Kallo Organic) as you need something to compliment rather than overpower the delicate pea and potato flavours.

I have not read the book.
I don't know the "rules".
I have tried this for only 10 days.
I have not even done it every day, probably about 5-6 times or so in the past 10 days since I saw the segment on the Today Show last week.
On the days I have done it, I have followed only 1 rule – eat for only 8 hours in that day.
It has not been hard. Oh, sure, during the 16 hour fasting window, I've wanted to eat something, but not because I was starving, just because of mindless "grazing" habits I've developed before.
During the 8 hour eating window, I've eaten pretty much like normal. I have not made a particular effort to clean up my eating – not that I'm a bad eater anyway. I've even allowed myself a Klondike ice cream bar in the evenings on several occasions. (for me, a Klondike bar is portion control – better than sitting down with an open container of ice cream. No need to lecture me – I've made my peace with ice cream and it is in the form of one Klondike bar when I want it.)
The thing I am realizing is that in the traditional "grazing" eat-5-to-6-small-meals-throughout-the-day, for me it simply becomes eating 5-6 meals throughout the day. I start early and finish late.
At least with the 8 hour window, I limit my eating to 8 hours. I can only consume so many calories in that limited time. And it is enough time. I don't go crazy. I'm not stupid about it. I eat. Then I stop. If I really feel like I need something, I drink water or hot (green) tea. Amazing how that can fill me up! And clean me out!
I know, 5-6 times in 10 days is not a lifetime. But right now, I'm thinking I can do this for a lifetime. It seems to work with my schedule. I don't have to do it every day. I can to it 2 or 3 times (or more or less) a week. No stressing about it.
I'll do this for a while and evaluate. Maybe I'll move on to the next trendy fad diet. Maybe I'll go back to eating 5-6 "small" meals from the time I get up to the time I go to bed like everyone else.
But maybe there's something to it. And, you know, there is also some satisfaction for me to feel some hunger and to not yield to it. (1st world hunger, not 3rd world hunger.) Before, I'd feel some hunger and think – "need to have a snack – keep the fire burning."
I think it is good to challenge traditional thinking from time to time. If the traditional thinking is valid, it will prove itself to be. If the "trend" is not valid, it will surely fail over time. If the "trend" has any validity, it, too, will prove itself over time.
And there is not just "one answer". There can be several methods that are valid. "Traditional thinking" can be valid. Something else can be, too.
Oh, the point of all of this…I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down 6# from 10 days ago. Don't worry, I have not had my Klondike bar yet today. I'm sure I'll put it back on!
I'm an experiment of one. I like to try things and see how I respond to it.

Elizabethtown The Town of Willsboro may be the center of the Essex County political universe in the 2013 election season.
First, the town is home to District Attorney Kristy Sprague, one of 101 candidates to file an independent petition with the Essex County Board of Elections Aug. 20.
Second, the number of people running for elected office in the town increased as four additional names were added to the Highway Superintendent ballot.
Bryon Scott Moran, who filed both an independent and Republican Party petition, will be joined in the race by Travis Crowningshield, Jason Morgan, Dean King and Daniel Koenig. Each are seeking to replace longtime department head Pete Jacques, who is not seeking re-election.
The new candidates bring the total number of people seeking votes from their fellow Willsboro residents to 19, more than doubling most other towns in the county.
In the town of Essex, Edward J. Gardner filed an independent petition to challenge incumbent Sharon Boisen for the office of supervisor. Boisen also only filed as an independent.
In Ticonderoga, Steven Whitford joined the race by filing an independent petition along with Richard Grinnell and incumbent Debra Malaney, both of whom filed Republican petitions and will face off for the official part nomination in the Sept. 10 primary. With the filing of independent petitions, the loser of the primary will still be involved in the Nov. 5 General Election.
The following is a list of candidates who have filed petitions for the 2013 election (i refers to having filed an independent petition, not party affiliation or incumbent status):
Chesterfield: Town council — Clayton Barber (Ri), Richard Klages (i), Brian LaFountain (i)
Crown Point: Supervisor — Charles Harrington (R); Town council — Sherlene Simpson-Barrows (R), Walter Worth (R); Highway Superintendent — Eugene Ingleston Jr. (R)
Elizabethtown: Supervisor — Margaret Bartley (Di), Noel Merrihew, III (Ri); Town Clerk/Tax Collector — Debra Brooks (R); Town Justice — William Garrison (Ri), Michael Doyle (Ri); Town council — Evelyn Hatch (Di), William Wright Jr. (Ri), Richard Olcott (Ri); Highway Superintendent — Michael Drew (R)

Re: Mr. Drums "Buddy Rich"
I had heard of him about as long as I can remember but really started to listen in the early to mid 60's when his big band got going. When I started playing drums there were two names that everyone talked about Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. I've heard that somewhere there is a bootleg video showing most if not all of Buddy's Tonight Show appearances. Those minutes with Carson were great and I always appreciated how gracious Ed Shaunessy was to have Buddy take over the drum chair on those shows. I suppose he didn't have a choice but Ed is a true gentleman and always seemed like he loved Buddy's performances as much as anyone else.

After much consideration, I've made some new rules to follow when doing "happy hour" in the middle of the week.
I think we can all agree that no shots should be taken. I'm not a 21-year-old college student that doesn't have class on Friday. I can't swing these things like I used to.
Ugh… that made me sound old.
My boss told me my "eyes looked tired". I think we all know that was a nice way of saying, "seriously- you look awful".
I can't help it, boss. Things just escalated so quickly!
After work, I laid around until it was time to get moving once again. Annie invited Mon and I over for a girl's night. She even cooked for us. My friends are swell. :)She is much less messy in the kitchen than I am. So that's why you rarely see pics like this of me cooking…
On the menu? Tomato soup paired with veggie focaccia sandwiches. Her husband is usually a dude who requires meat with his meals (let's be honest- what man doesn't?), so I think she was happy to be able to prepare a veggie-heavy meal for us.
And what girl's night doesn't include wine?If you look closely (or not that closely), you can see me in the red bottle. Heeeeeeyyyyyyy!The base of the sandwiches were yellow, orange, and green peppers along with onions that had been sautéed in balsamic. Topped off with spinach and provolone. I chose to also go the extra mile and dip it in my tomato soup (also made from scratch- go Annie, go!).
Faboosh.I'm excited. But you may not be able to tell because of my "tired eyes"… :)
On another note- this was the same shirt I wore out the night before. Don't judge me. I swear I showered. And it's the most comfy shirt of all time that can be dressed up and down. Assume you'll see it in heavy rotation on the blog.
Anyhoo… happy weekend! I hope you enjoy a lazy Saturday. I think I will be staying positioned on the couch a wee bit longer out of sheer laziness before I "start" my day. Because I need to watch a couple more hours of Food Network and how to prepare the perfect Thanksgiving. Even if I'm only in charge of dessert (because let's face it- that's the sole thing I excel at in the kitchen).
For the holiday- are you cooking the full meal or are you in charge of one dish?
Or do you bring the wine? (Hey- that's a very important duty, too!)
Enjoy your Saturday, kids!

text: I think that the coach needs to go for it on 4th and short. Last week against the Texans they had 2 chances on fourth and short and elected to punt. This week they had the same chance against the Ravens, the defense is playing like crap and giving up big plays. Why would you want to put them back on the field? The defense is letting them walk 80 yds down the field, might as well go for it on 4th and short.

Scout commissioner says organization remains relevant to today's youth | NEWSMAKERS
EVANSVILLE - What does it take to help today's youth grow into productive adults? Scouting contributes to the development of more than 2 million young people each year through education and leadership programs.
Tico Perez, national commissioner of the Boy Scouts of America and an attorney in Orlando, Fla., appears this week on "Newsmakers," a weekly public-affairs television program coproduced by WNIN-PBS and the Courier & Press. Perez provides leadership to more than a million adult volunteers who in turn lead Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and related youth programs. The following is an edited transcript of Perez's interview with Courier & Press Editor Mizell Stewart III. The entire interview can be seen today at 11:30 a.m. on WNIN.
Mizell Stewart: How did you get involved with Scouting?
Tico Perez: I got involved in the same way that many other folks got involved in Scouting — somebody asked me to join. There was a fellow who worked at J.C. Penney who every time I went in there with my dad would pull me aside and say 'Son, you need to be in Boy Scouts.' And I'd say 'I don't want to be a Boy Scout.' Over time, he convinced me to try it out, I went to one meeting, and I was hooked.
Stewart: Describe Scouting's impact on your life, both in the skills that you developed as well as how it influenced your career aspirations.
Perez: I'll start from the end first. Scouting has defined me. Now, in this national leadership role, Scouting defines who I am, what I am and what I do. But as a youth, more importantly, what it did is it gave me the opportunity to try new things. To get outside, to explore, to test myself, to fail and to learn to lead. I had the opportunity through the Scouting program to first lead my patrol, a group of six guys, planning trips — our safety was dependent upon each other learning to work together as a team. Then I was head of my troop, then I was head of an honor camper group and then I was head of the whole state of Florida — at 17, as a young man.
Stewart: At 17 years old, that had to be an amazing leadership opportunity.
Perez: It was extraordinary, and Scouting provides that for me. It taught me to make and achieve short-term goals. Our entire advancement program is geared toward making a plan and understanding how you advance, how you achieve a goal, how one thing grows to another and how you just can't skip to the end. That's something a lot of folks need to learn today. I got hooked on the process, and I got hooked on the leadership. After doing it for several years and achieving Eagle Scout rank, I realized that all that fun made me learn a lot of things. It made me learn a lot of things about myself and gave me extraordinary confidence and leadership skills. That's what's driven me for the rest of my life. I absolutely blame Scouting for everything I've been able to be today.
Stewart: How has Scouting and the approach to Scouting changed as society has changed?
Perez: Kids are very different today, there's no doubt about that. When I was a kid, we went outside, and we kicked a ball or we had stick fights. That was what we did. So getting the attention of young people in those days was all about — there wasn't a kid who didn't want to light a fire, shoot a gun or catch a fish. Today, it's different. Today, unfortunately, we have rampant childhood obesity, but we also have kids who are addicted to their computers, to the Internet and to their video games. We are losing a generation of kids outdoors. So it's our challenge to be more and more relevant to those kids. So what we're trying to do is keep the program the same — it's outdoors, it's adventure, it's excitement — but we're talking to kids through their mediums. We're using a Facebook-type scenario we're developing ourselves. We've got our Handbook on an iPad app. We've got every technology to get to those kids to invite them back outside to play.
Stewart: Who tends to be the person or the type of person who will lead a young person to Scouting? Are kids still discovering it on their own or through their parents? How is Scouting reaching people?
Perez: The first thing, and I've got to thank the (Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp.) by the way, we have a great relationship with the schools here. Oftentimes, the first entry into Scouting is at a school night, where our professional staff or our volunteers go in and recruit kids. If that gets reinforced by other kids who are members of Scouting saying 'Hey, come on, it's fun' and they invite them to come, that's very important. This is absolutely b-to-b marketing; we call it boy-to-boy. They've got to invite each other, or it's not going to work for us. So we introduce them to it, we let them know what the opportunities are and then possibly the most important thing is we spend some time with their parents. We make sure their parents understand that this is a game of Scouting. It's going to be fun, it's going to be adventurous, and by the way, we're going to make young men out of those boys.
Stewart: Do you have to sell parents as much as the young people who will be participating?
Perez: It's interesting. We've got about 60 million living alumni, and if a man was involved in Scouting as a boy, we don't have to sell him. They're already building the Pinewood Derby race cars, and they are ready to go back to camp. If it's a group that is not familiar with Scouting — which is, frankly, one of Scouting's challenges, the growing African-American and Hispanic communities that we are not reaching effectively yet — then we've got to explain the movement and reintroduce or introduce them to Scouting. We've spent a lot of time and money trying to find a way to do that.
Stewart: Why do you think there are people who don't believe Scouting is as relevant, perhaps, as it was in the past?
Perez: I think folks who don't think Scouting is relevant don't understand Scouting. If trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous and kind are not relevant, if duty to God, duty to your country, respecting your parents and serving others isn't relevant, then we are irrelevant. But I don't think we are. I think that if you know what we do, if you understand the core values of this organization, which is teaching a young man to know himself, to learn about himself, to learn to lead and to build confidence — not to be a huge politician or an astronaut or a superstar — just to be a good man, a good father, a good member of the community. If they understand that that's what we do, we build character in men, then they'll understand how relevant we are.

In the past few days, Herman Cain has been taking heavy duty flack both here (from Alana and Pete) and elsewhere over comments he made during an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan in which he completely contradicted himself on abortion. His simultaneous defense of "choice" and a "pro-life" position enraged pro-life activists. It's also given the rest of the public good reason to doubt Cain's capacity to understand the issues.
But what's really interesting about this is how this latest embarrassment for Cain illustrates the heightened scrutiny he's been receiving since his poll numbers rose when compared to the indifference with which his comments were greeted when he was just a curiosity. As it happens, Cain made the exact same mistake back in July when he appeared on Fox Business Channel's John Stossel Show. It's one thing to claim to be both pro-choice and pro-life once. To say the same thing months later demonstrates not only that he doesn't understand the issue but also that he is not particularly educable.
The Stossel show sticks in my mind for a good reason. I took part in one of the segments devoted to his ignorance of foreign policy. Rather than deal with his mistakes, Cain took the usual escape hatch chosen by career politicians when he tried to turn the discussion around on me and say that I was showing bad manners by calling him out on his many astonishing gaffes that showed he had no idea what he was talking about. As it happens, he's incorporated one bit of our off-camera conversation into his subsequent explanations of his foreign policy foolishness. I pointed out to him that understanding the threat from Iranian nukes and the Palestinian right of return was not the same thing as some foreign policy trivial quiz in which he could be quizzed on who was the president of Uzbekistan. Since then, he has taken to joking about the whole thing by claiming that he doesn't know who the president of "Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan-stan" is. Funny. But a man who is so arrogant that he thinks he ought not to be required to have even a passing acquaintance with the great struggles of our time to qualify for the presidency may have more in common with Barack Obama than he thought.
But as ridiculous as that was, his gaffe about abortion back in July simply stunned me as well as everyone else in the studio at the time. It's bad enough to be ignorant about foreign policy. It's another thing entirely to act as if you don't know the difference between the two sides in the abortion struggle. To have repeated that astounding piece of foolishness makes you question not so much his reading habits as his basic intelligence.
Herman Cain is an engaging figure whose unflappability and upbeat temperament has shown him to good advantage in all of the debates up until this week when his inability to defend his 9-9-9 tax plan was exposed. But the abortion gaffe, like his foreign policy misnomers, also exposes him as perhaps the least knowledgeable or thoughtful candidate for president in recent memory. As such, he's not merely a poor choice for the presidency, but must be reckoned unqualified for high office of any kind.

Decent BagAs reviewed by CPR on 11/18/2008
They seem like a pretty good bag so far. Although, I could see why some of my friends have had problems with the straps and especially the zipper. The opening to put in the speakers isn't very wide and I could see where stress would be put on them causing them to break. My suggestion is putting in the speakers slowly and at an angle to put less stress on the zippers.2 of 2 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!
These fit the 3rd Gen Eon 515 Speakers!As reviewed by james raymond on 1/14/2013
I thought I would put that note in the title as no one has really touched on this, nor does the description. We own several 3rd Gen Eon 515's and these bags fit it perfectly. It's a solid fit with no room to spare, but it works great. The handling is a little off, but still works to allow you to grab the side handle of the speaker. I wish they had a cutout for the top of the speaker handle as that is how I prefer to grab the speakers during transport. But you live with the workaround. As far as quality, these bags APPEAR to be very well made. We just received, so I don't know about the longevity, but they appear to have a quality zipper, reinforced sewing on the handle areas, and thick padding. A+ JBL for making durable and thick products to protect our speaker investment.1 of 1 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!
