Aliens Can Be Such A Nuisance
Yesterday I was the mother to a rocket ship captain. We rode through space on two green couch cushions. Occasionally we'd stop on some extra-terrestrial orbiting moon and the captain would kindly employ the lunar-landers. But only before he'd make me wear a space helmet (the gold shiny pillows off the red couch, perched on top of my head) before touching down. He's a thoughtful-and-safe guy, that captain.
He took me to Mars, which was bigger in real life as it turns out. It looked like a pizza without any toppings and produced a vibrating, ringing noise in its outer atmosphere. Then we flew back home and the captain asked me to put him to bed. Captains need their rest and after all I am his mommy.
He slept for .02 seconds, because you can't be bothered with REM when you're trying to save the galaxy.
After a few successful missions, I had to tell the captain to return me to my mothership (the kitchen) which was messy because we had aliens over for pancakes that morning. There was star goo (pancake batter) all over the place and someone had to wipe it up before it hatched an intergalactic species on the countertops. I just hate it when that happens.
After the captain retired from his post, and the kitchen was humming with saucer-washer sounds, we sat on the couch and watched the rain out our front window. Our view was busy with passerbys, people moving in the rain. We counted the umbrellas and called out colors,
"Blue 'rella!"
"Green 'rella!"
"Red 'rella!"
which was a fun game until the retired captain and I disagreed on what constitutes a true purple.
"Purple umbrella!"
"No Mom. Pink 'rella!"
(It's true: captains are headstrong.)
After dinner there was a shark in our living room. It chased me around trying to bite my rear end. I outwitted the beast when I turned on some jazz and the shark transformed into a dashing dancing partner. By the time he was ready for bed, and we had read his favorite Halloween book about the bat and the pumpkin, he was back to being a little boy, and I was his mom.
It didn't take long before he was out, which is good because unlike the rocket ship captain, this boy needed his sleep (and so did his mommy).

I think you just wrote your first children's book. Please have this illustrated and published. I would buy it and add it to my collection and give a copy to my children to read to their children. I loved it!

Little boys are so much fun! I have a very spunky energetic 4 year old lil man and what you discribed is him to a T! But I don't get to spend as much time with him. I hate to admit that I have jealousy but I do. I would give just about anything to be a stay at home mom and spend the day saving the galaxy with my Mr. Magoo.

what a lucky little boy to have a mommy with such an incredible imagination.

Silent reader here - big fan - had to comment bc I just wrote a similar post....moms of boys must often spend their days in "character" I guess. Exhausting fun right? Don't be jealous but I usually get to be Princess Leia.
PS - Since I'm actually commenting I'd like to commend you for not listening to the "haters" out there. You should ALWAYS write whatever you want...I love it.

Courtney, I realize that I am already married to "The Lower Lights", but I really want to marry your whole family.
I just watched Topher's lip syncs, and decided that he must be my brother right away!
If they'd agree, we could all move to Colorado city and be a big happy family!
Can anyone sew in your family? Because we'd need wear those pastel dresses so we didn't stand out so much.
Let me know a.s.a.p.

Well I had no idea that b/c I commented here I'd have new people looking at my blog...are you Oprah or something?! HA. Anyway, if I'd realized that I would have worded my comment differently. I would have said, "I just posted about this same subject - but in a very boring, basic, non-creative way." Sorry to the cjane readers who were swayed my way b/c I carelessly said that, "I just wrote a similar post." Heaven knows I could never write something similar to Courtney! But thanks for visiting and commenting anyway! Funny.

text: A battalion of volunteer workers converged on Helper and the Castle Gate Cemetery Saturday to dig, chop and hack for community beautification. About 450 people showed up beginning at 7 a.m. to remove branches, weeds and litter from the Helper Parkway (above), and to rid the cemetery of overgrown native plants. Volunteers also took part in fix-up and clean-up projects around town. City and county trucks hauled away debris. After work, the Helper Pool was open for a free swim day. The event was organized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Participants of all ages and faiths joined in the effort.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
After the Carbon Commission denied a request in June, Ballpark subdivision phase three developer Jeff Spainhower received a favorable recommendation from the county planning board on Tuesday.
Having addressed some of the concerns raised at a public hearing three months ago, the planning board will forward the matter back to the county commission for possible approval.
When the matter was denied approval in June, the majority of arguments raised related to access routes.
The proposed subdivision is located at the north end of 1500 West, an 18-foot wide residential street which county officials agree needs to be widened whether the 20-lot subdivision is approved or not.
In the review process, the board received a pair of documents from the county planning office outlining issues which arose out of the public hearing.
The document outlined certain areas which need to be improved in order for the subdivision to move forward and split the needed improvements into two categories - one for the county and another for the developer.
On the county's list were a number of items, ranging from tree removal to road widening and from drainage issues to problems at a cemetery located on 1500 West.
For the developer, the county prepared a list of items such as dealing with drainage issues from the first two phases of the subdivision and building retaining walls as needed to prevent sloughing for neighboring landowners.
Topping the county's list is widening 1500 West.
Planning director Dave Levanger told the board that widening the road will likely cost at least $25,000 and could cost upwards of $50,000, depending on the construction approach taken by the county.
In addition to widening the road, county officials who have reviewed the area recommend installing an 18-inch pipe for water drainage on 1500 West.
Drainage issues along the road could take that figure for improvements, including roads, to more than $100,000 - a price tag which Carbon Commissioner Michael Milovich said is not in the county's budget for this year.
"Whether the subdivision goes in or not, the road has to be fixed," pointed out Milovich.
Milovich said the county will need to look at this year's budget and see if the money can be found, and provide a budget item for the improvements next year if needed.
Spainhower will be required to bring the existing drainage system from the proposed development up to approved standards and get the county road supervisor to approve the final work.
Along with the widening of the road, the county planning staff recommended that a center line be painted on the widened road. The center line will encourage drivers to drive on the correct side of the road, especially as they cross the misaligned canal bridge at the south end of the street.
Residents in the area complained that drainage issues were flooding a cemetery owned by the county located at the north end of 1500 West.
In researching the issue, county officials discovered that there may be one grave which is located at least partially under the road. The issue will need to be addressed as road improvements are planned.
In order to combat the flooding, the county will need to install a curb at the northeast corner of the cemetery to channel drainage into the proper channels and keep it out of the cemetery.
Planning staff also recommended that the county emergency manager be consulted to address other natural and man made hazards in the area.
In addition, the county addressed the need to keep the public in the area informed regarding state and county ordinances relating to the development of subdivisions. Many of the resources are available online.
For state codes, local residents can find an up-to-date reference at http://le.utah.gov/. The Carbon County development code can be found at http://www.carboncountyutah.com/pandz/. Both of the resources are also available in printed format. Copies of the Utah Code can be found at most public libraries and in many government offices. Individuals wishing to review printed copies of the county development code should contact the county planning office.
Steve Tanner, who lives south of the proposed subdivision, said the codes did not allow residents enough recourse when they opposed new development.
"If we developed a code that appeased every person in this county, we wouldn't have one home built in the whole county," said Milovich.
On the developer's side, planning staff recommended that Spainhower be required to address drainage issues and ensure that drainage from all phases of the development are directed into the proper drainage channels.
The planning board indicated that approval was conditional upon a written statement from Ray Hanson, county road department supervisor, stating that a workable solution has been implemented.
A second written statement will be required from Hanson and Nick Houser, deputy county engineer, addressing the need for retaining walls to keep property owned by Paul and Ann Anderson from sloughing off into the county right-of-way.
There was some debate as to whether the retaining wall had been originally required, but Milovich maintained that it was part of the preliminary approval for the subdivision.
Other requirements placed on the developer relate to a drainage pond designed to handle drainage from the new lots. The pond is designed to handle not only the 20 new lots in Spainhower's request at this time, but the potential for up to 40 more lots in the future.
Engineers present at the planning board meeting said the entire subdivision will be engineered to handle drainage efficiently and the drainage pond will be capable of handling up to 1.1 inches of rain in one hour.
Any excess water will be allowed to spill from the drainage pond into the nearby Warehouse Wash.
One of the requirements for drainage is that future homeowners be required to maintain the drainage system.
Spainhower said the neighborhood covenants will be written in such a way to allow the county to perform that maintenance if homeowners fail to do so. If homeowners fail to cover costs, the county can place a lien on any property where the owner was non-compliant.
"I think it's a good plan as long as they maintain it," said neighboring resident David Coon.
The final matter originally assigned to the developer was the need to secure an alternate right-of-way into the subdivision. Spainhower explained that no private landowners were interested in providing access through their land. However, there is state-owned land near the subdivision which may be suitable for an alternate route. Spainhower pointed out that the state generally grants 20-year leases to private groups or individuals, but that the county can get a perpetual easement. He requested that the county pursue that easement and he will provide access to the proposed subdivision near the suggested alternate route.
The final specifications for that road will need to be finalized, but planning staff told the board that they favored at least a 60-foot right-of-way.
However, until the road is completed, new homeowners will continue to add to the issues on 1500 West. That raised objections from area residents.
"I don't think anything should be approved until these things are done," said Coon. He said that when the first two phases were approved, residents raised almost identical objections and were told that the issues would be solved before any further development was allowed.
Despite that concern, the planning commission gave a favorable recommendation to the subdivision, provided that the developer address the drainage and other issues discussed by the board. The board repeated the previous restriction on further development until access and other issues are fully resolved.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK -- The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a mother and child were killed as tornadoes moved through Oklahoma City.
Tornadoes slammed Oklahoma City and its suburbs, crumbling cars and tractor-trailers. The storm hit during the evening rush hour, causing havoc on I-40, a major artery connecting suburbs east and west of the city.
Another tornado was reported on the ground in Moore, where a mammoth May 20 twister killed 24 people and left the southern Oklahoma City suburb in ruins, KOKH-TV reported.
Winds were reportedly between 80 and 100 mph. Tornado warnings were posted for several central Oklahoma counties. At 8:15 p.m. CT (9:15 p.m. ET), the National Weather Service tweeted that the tornado threat was decreasing.
As the storms raced east, multiple funnel clouds touched down west of Oklahoma City, with TV video capturing one violent tornado on the ground.
Cars and tractor-trailers flipped on I-40, and motorists were stranded bumper to bumper on I-35 in what the weather service described as "a parking lot."
"Please try to get to a building or safe shelter!" the weather service in Norman tweeted.
One twister destroyed The Weather Channel's "Tornado Hunt" car near El Reno.
"My biggest concern right now is the traffic that is out on the highway right now," Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said.
The National Guard and Oklahoma Highway Patrol were working to move people to shelters and get traffic moving, CNN reported.
About 1,000 passengers at the Will Rogers Airport were evacuated to an underground tunnel until the threat passed, KFOR-TV reported. No flights were arriving or departing.
Just before 7:30 p.m. CT, a tornado was reported near the airport.
More than 49,000 people had lost power in the area, Oklahoma Gas & Electric reported. The National Weather Service warned of serious flash flooding.
A "large, violent, life-threatening tornado" roared through downtown Oklahoma City about 7:20 p.m. CT (8:20 p.m. ET), KOKH-TV said.
Various twisters touched down or spun aloft near El Reno, about 25 miles west of downtown Oklahoma City. Eyewitnesses reported utility poles down and livestock scattered across roads.
The tornado was on track to hit Midwest City after Oklahoma City. Another was spotted on the ground near Del City and moving toward Tinker Air Force Base.

Transport Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta is located along the Andaman Coast, just south of Krabi province. The most common way to travel to Koh Lanta is by car or mini-bus from Krabi or by boat from Krabi Town, Railey Beach, Koh Phi Phi or Phuket. Driving from Krabi, one must take two short car ferries from the mainland to Koh Lanta Noi and then across to Koh Lanta Yai. Boats to Krabi run more frequently in the high season and certain routes are stopped during the stormier monsoon season months. It is also possible to travel north from Trang to the south of Koh Lanta.
Once on Koh Lanta, transportation is somewhat limited, and a rental car or motorbike is the primary method for getting around the island, though there are long-tail boats available for beach and island hopping and some tuk-tuks and songtaews for getting around Saladan and the northern beaches.
One can take a bus from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal to both Krabi and Trang, the two closest locations for arranging transfer to Koh Lanta.
From Krabi there are a number of private tour companies that can arrange for mini-bus or boat travel to Koh Lanta that include fees for ferries and other transfers to your hotel on Koh Lanta. The journey takes between 1 and 2 hours.
From Trang, daily mini-buses depart at noon for Koh Lanta, a trip that takes approximately 2 ½ hours including a short vehicle ferry crossing.
From Phuket one must first take a bus from Phuket Town to Krabi Town, where mini-bus or boat transfer can either be pre-arranged or booked upon arrival.
There is no airport in Koh Lanta, so those wishing to fly to Koh Lanta must fly to Krabi Airport and then take a car or mini-bus 70 km south to the island, including travel upon two short car ferries. There are numerous flights to Krabi from Bankok and various other airports around Thailand. Ground transport from Krabi airport to Koh Lanta is well established and timed to leave following air arrivals.
Getting around Koh Lanta is relatively simple as there are few roads on the island. A paved road runs north-south along the west coast of the island, connecting all the major beaches. Beyond that, road conditions vary greatly and one should exercise caution if self driving a motorbike or automobile on roads other than the western coastal road.
By tuk tuk and songtaew:
Around the northern beaches and towns, including Saladan, Klong Dao, and Long Beach (Phra Ae) there are some songtaews and tuk-tuks that provide limited public transportation. However, they do not run regularly nor do they provide regular service after dark.
By Rental Motorbike or Car:
The best way to get around the island is with a hired car or motorbike.
Motorbikes can be rented for between 150-300 baht per day. Visitors are generally required to leave their passports as collateral and must wear helmets as required by law. Closed toed shoes should be worn as motorbike accidents are common.
Rental "jeeps", typically Suzuki Samurai, are ideal for larger groups, particularly those who intend to explore the entire island. Jeeps can be hired for around 1200 baht per day. Be aware that only Commercial First Class Insurance provides full coverage on rental cars (as opposed to limited personal or third party only insurance). Most international car rental agencies will offer this insurance (some only for those with a valid international driver's license) while local companies may or may not. You may wish to request a copy of their insurance policy and ensure that it states "For Commercial Use". Regardless, inspect rental vehicles prior to rental and drive with caution, particularly as traffic in Thailand can be quite confusing, especially the habit of Thai motorcycles drivers to drive on the wrong side of the road.
By boat:
Long-tail boats can be hired by the day or half day for beach hopping and exploring nearby islands. Rates are negotiable and boats can be arranged through your guesthouse or hotel or through direct negotiation with boat drivers hanging out on the beach.

Dr. Newton-Cheh is a cardiologist seeing advanced heart failure patients and a cardiovascular geneticist conducting research on the root causes of sudden cardiac death and hypertension.
Dr. Newton-Cheh is a cardiologist in the Heart Failure and Transplantation section of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cardiology Division and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He sees patients with advanced heart failure.
Dr. Newton-Cheh is a faculty member of the Center for Human Genetic Research and the Cardiovascular Research Center, where he co-directs the Human Cardiovascular Genetics Program. He is a complex trait geneticist and cardiovascular epidemiologist. The Newton-Cheh laboratory is focused on the study of hypertension, sudden cardiac death and drug cardiotoxicity. We are leveraging the growth of human genetics to identify DNA sequence variants that contribute to these common diseases, to translate these genetic findings to an improved understanding of human physiology through patient-oriented research and to define the role of genetic variants, alongside other clinical risk factors, in risk prediction at the population level.
ResearchDr. Newton-Cheh is faculty member of the Center for Human Genetic Research and the Cardiovascular Research Center, where he co-directs the Human Cardiovascular Genetics Program. Dr. Newton-Cheh is a complex trait geneticist and cardiovascular epidemiologist. The Newton-Cheh laboratory is focused on the study of hypertension, sudden cardiac death and drug cardiotoxicity. We are leveraging the growth of human genetics to improve our understanding of the following outcomes:
QT interval & sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) claims 300,000 lives annually in the US and is influenced by genetic factors. Prolongation of the electrocardiographic QT interval is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death and is a life-threatening side effect of medications. We have identified novel genetic variants that contribute to variability of the QT interval and SCD.
Blood pressure & hypertension
Elevated blood pressure (hypertension) affects an estimated 1 billion people world-wide and contributes to the population burden of stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and chronic kidney disease. Until recently the genetic causes of variation in blood pressure in the general population have been poorly defined. We have identified blood biomarkers and common genetic variants that contribute to blood pressure and hypertension.
MGH Hotline 06.12.09 At a time of unprecedented scientific progress and widening public support for clinical and translational research, young and mid-career investigators are faced with challenges of limited funding and competing personal and professional demands that cause many to abandon research careers, noted Janet Hall, MD, of the MGH Reproductive Endocrine Unit, at a May 28 panel discussion during MGH Clinical Research Day.
A new study has identified the first common gene variants associated with an increased incidence of hypertension – a significant risk factor for heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
A new study has identified several common genetic variants related to a risk factor for sudden cardiac death. The report receiving early online release in the journal Nature Genetics identifies variants in genes, some known and some newly discovered, that influence the QT interval measured on the electrocardiogram (EKG) performed routinely in doctors' offices.
Scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), as part of a major international research collaboration, have associated common variants in eight regions of DNA with blood pressure levels in human patients. Six of the identified regions have not previously been implicated in blood pressure regulation.
Measurement of known biomarkers of cardiovascular disease slightly improves the ability to predict future heart attack or stroke in healthy individuals, but not enough to change preventive therapies.
A new report from MGH scientists and colleagues around the world finds that common variants in 28 regions of DNA are associated with blood pressure in human patients. Most of the identified regions were completely unsuspected, and several may lead to a totally new class of hypertension drugs.
Two international research studies, both led by investigators affiliated with MGH and the Broad Institute, have uncovered new information about genes that may increase the risk of serious cardiac arrhythmias.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Early last week, Snow College returned to finish their series with Eastern Utah that had been postponed by a storm. EU crushed them 9-6 and 22-1. But the tables were turned when Western Nevada rolled in for their weekend series and swept EU 7-4, 15-4, 5-2 and 16-2.
On Tuesday March 8, EU opened up their make up game with Snow. It took six pitchers to get the job done, but Tory Ullibarri picked up the win.
The Eagles pounded out nine runs on seven hits. Justin Ortin and Kendall Prescott had a double and Aaron Sandoval went deep for the win.
The second game was over in just five innings with Craig Brinkerhoff taking the win off the mound. EU parlayed 22 runs off of 12 hits. Mason Hollingsworth and Kort Christoffers and Brock Carlson all hit a two bagger. Ortin blasted a triple.
Western Nevada took the early lead on Saturday's opener and then EU tied it up with 2 in the third. It stayed knotted until the Wildcats took the lead by a run in the sixth. The Eagles anwered with two in the top of the seventh, but couldn't hold the lead as WN posted four in the bottom of the inning for the victory.
Colter Moore took the mound in the game and went 5.1 innings. John Morgan got the loss after pitching to one batter. Tyler Slesk and Kort Christoffers hit home runs for the Eagles.
The second game of the day began as a one run stalemate when WN went on a four-run tear. They added runs almost every inning.
EU was only able to score one run about every other inning. Slesk and Nuho Kraja picked up doubles and Brinkerhoff added a homer in the losing cause. Kody Christoffers got the loss off the mound.
The eraly game on Saturday was EU's best showing of the weekend. The Wildcats jumped out 3-0 in the first, but the Eagles chipped away as they held WN scoreless until the sixth. WN put up a run in both of the final two frams to claim the win. Kort Christoffers was the losing pitcher in the game. Ben Kraja, Brinkerhoff and Mason Hollingsworth each smacked a double.
In the final game of the series EU went through five pitchers in five innings as Western Nevada pounded them for 16 runs. Eleven of them came in the third inning alone.
Jordan Hepworth had to take the loss in the game. It was the only game that EU had a lead in the entire series as they scored in the first. But that was as long as it lasted. Kody Christoffers put up the only extra base hit with a double.
The team stands at 6-16 on the season and 0-8 in conference play.
They hope to pick up much needed wins this weekend as they head to Rangely to face Colorado Northwestern Community College.

Tampa, Florida --It's bands, tailgating, friends, fun and, of course, a bit of football mixed in.
The Outback Bowl, with another thrilling down to the wire finish, is one of the most successful bowl games around. This year, South Carolina defeated Michigan 33 -28 pulling ahead with just 11 seconds left in the game.
There are 35 bowl games played each year and the Outback Bowl, which started out as the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1986, started moving into national prominence when Outback became the title sponsor and the game was moved to New Year's Day.
The Outback Bowl takes in about $10 million in revenue and spotlights the Tampa Bay area via TV exposure and fans who come here.
Tom Voyt, who is a Michigan fan, says, "It's just the camaraderie and the fun. Everyone loves it."
Stuart Hooks who is a South Carolina Fan says," I think you've got two good conferences. You've got the SEC you've got the Big 10 you'll always get a good matchup."
And because SEC schools are located within an easy drive to Tampa and Big 10 Schools are located in cold northern climates, that is part of the appeal as well.
Tracy Voyt who was hoping her Wolverines would pull out a win still had a great time and loves the weather saying, "We left seven inches of snow so this is wonderful."
Besides the weather, the pageantry and the game, another big factor is the Tampa Bay area is a natural tourist attraction and there is much more to do here in addition to the game.
Jay Murphy, a South Carolina graduate, who drove her from home in Atlanta says, "It's been a fun thing and the thing we like too is go to Clearwater, to the beach and some good restaurants. It's a fun time for the family."
Kay Hooks whose husband is a South Carolina graduate and has two daughters at South Carolina is a Michigan alum.
She didn't like the final score but still says, "It's a great atmosphere, the weather is great, and Tampa has been wonderful. We've had a great time."
Jim McVay, who has been Outback Bowl CEO and president since 1988 and is the longest tenured bowl game CEO agrees saying, "Tampa Bay is an exceptional spot for a bowl game with beautiful weather and beaches. It's a hospitality market with an exceptional stadium."
And while the Outback Bowl has had great success, the college bowl picture is changing with a four-team BCS playoff in two years. But those who run the Outback Bowl say they're not concerned.
According to McVay, "It's not going to have any effect on us. We're going to be in a position to keep doing what we're doing."
And no doubt McVay would like to see the Bowl doing what it is currently doing. Not only because of the success of the bowl, but also because as CEO and president he makes almost $800,000 a year -- the highest salary of any bowl game CEO.

Unlike QR codes, AR uses a phone's camera to recognize specific images (in this case, newspaper pages) and superimposes information over the camera feed. AR technology opens related links and content within its app, whereas QR codes externally connect to links on mobile web browsers. Industry analysts agree that AR has more potential for newspapers than QR codes, which have been deemed "dead" by most.
Independent+ uses iPhone, iPad and Android app Blippar to update select print stories with new information and additional multimedia features. The newspaper is also using the app to increase audience engagement by allowing readers to vote in polls related to opinion articles. The Independent said AR supplements will be available in all sections of the newspaper, according to Press Gazette.

|Commissioners Steve Burge, Mike Milovich and Bill Krompel approve a CIB grant contract to build an indoor shooting range at the county fairgrounds.
The Carbon County Commission conducted two meetings last Wednesday. One short session involved a Carbon County Municipal Building Authority grant contract and the longer meeting was to conduct regular commission business.
In the five minute session, the commission approved the contract for a grant from the Utah Community Impact Board for $750,000 toward covering the costs of the new indoor gun target range the county plans to build near the fairgrounds.
"This grant along with a loan for the same amount will help us to build this facility," pointed out Commissioner Mike Milovich "Once we have established the exact site, we should be able to break ground sometime in May or June of this year."
The inside gun range will act not only as a place for local shooters to practice, but may become a draw for state and regional competitions. It could tie in with speculation that the Helper Gun Club may close. It appears the state may withdraw its lease to the gun club to develop the property in the hills above Helper. If that happens, there could be a move to develop an outside shooting range near Pinnacle Peak.
"That could work well for competitions," noted Commissioner Bill Krompel. "The two ranges would be close to each other and could make it a good place to hold all kinds of competitions that use both kinds of facilities."
Following the approval, the lawmakers convened the regular meeting of the commission with a property tax concern being the subject of the most discussion.
"I own a number of lots in the Scofield area which I have not been able to sell because, after I bought them, we discovered that they were not of minimum size," Ron Spears told the commission. "Over half the lots were undersized and, so far, the survey that the county was helping with has not been finished. I am asking you to allow my taxes to be changed on these lots because I have no recourse right now but to hold onto them."
A discussion then ensued about what involvement the county has had in the situation.
Building and zoning director Dave Levanger said, due to problems in the plats, the county had agreed in some telephone negotiations to do the surveying to get the lots up to proper sizes.
"Some of those lots were out quite substantially," noted Levanger. "The negotiation was done by George Harmond (deputy county attorney), but I have no documentation on it."
Commissioner Steven Burge said he talked with Evan Hansen. Hansen has established the corners for the survey, but winter weather had moved in and halted the work.
"I have tax notices for each of the lots," indicated Spears. "A few of them are being completely changed and I can't even show potential buyers what the boundaries are. These are not legal lots so I shouldn't be taxed for them that way."
"I thought this lot problem had been solved," replied Milovich. "The problem with your request is that you should have come in before taxes were due. You should have met with the board of equalization. I don't think we can do anything to help on this now."
County Attorney Gene Strate pointed out that the statutes prevent the commission from doing anything after taxes are due.
"Well, we need Evan up there to finish it," commented Milovich.
The commissioners indicated the county would work with Spears to resolve the situation.
In another area of business concerning the Scofield area, Levanger brought an interlocal agreement between the town and the county for the building permit services.
"This is the same agreement we have had for years with Scofield," Levanger told the commission.
But Burge had a concern regarding the fact that the county is a contractor in the agreement.
"I wonder if this agreement makes it so that your department doesn't have government immunity if something happens," said Burge.
Levanger pointed out that Carbon government has the same type of agreement with almost all the towns in the county, with the exception of East Carbon and Price.
The commission decided to approve the agreement, but asked the county attorney to check into the concern.
In unrelated actions, the commission approved a zoning change for property owned by John Wimmer on the Coal Creek Loop from C-1 to RR-1 for a small subdivision. The officials also approved Sam Chiara to act as the public defender conflict attorney for two years.

A truck driver from Pennsylvania was released without charges Thursday night while state police continue their investigation into the morning chain-reaction crash that killed six people on Route 11 in the town of Antwerp.
A survivor of the 9:07 a.m. six-vehicle fiery pileup was listed in serious condition Friday morning at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse. Lewis L. Lottie Jr., 44, Nicholville, underwent surgery Thursday night for deep facial cuts, according to his sister-in-law, Tari Burnett. He escaped as the state Department of Transportation pickup truck he was driving burst into flames from a gas tank explosion. Ms. Burnett wrote in an email message he was pulled from the truck by DOT personnel and employees of Barrett Paving, Watertown.
Barrett, under contract with the state, was resurfacing the highway and stopping traffic in the work zone when the crash occurred.
Mr. Lottie was to have more surgery Friday for a fractured pelvis and leg injuries, Ms. Burnett said. She said his injuries also included multiple burns, a fractured collarbone, a punctured lung and spinal issues.
Investigator Patrick A. Hathaway said Friday he is uncertain when charges will be filed against James A. Mills Jr., 45, Myerstown, Pa., the driver of the tractor-trailer that set off the tragic chain of events. He said it will take a significant amount of time for the state police accident reconstruction unit, Oneida Troop D headquarters, to put it all together, including on-scene measurements, land and aerial photography, fire cause determinations and statements from witnesses.
Mandatory blood samples drawn from Mr. Mills have been sent to a laboratory for drug and alcohol analysis, Mr. Hathaway said.
We are trying to figure out why he didnt view the stopped vehicles, Mr. Hathaway said. From our perspective, we believe there was adequate signage to alert motorists to construction work ahead. We are trying to figure out what went wrong.
Signs warning of double fines for speeding in construction zones were in place at locations north and south of the accident scene, which was south of the Route 11 intersection with Dickson and Fox Ranch roads.
The dead included five in a fire-engulfed car: Laurie M. Dana, 42, of 11858 Route 11, North Lawrence, a special-education and speech teacher at St. Lawrence Elementary School, Brasher Falls; her daughters, Caitlyn O., 14, and Lauryn, 11; the girls grandmother, Janet Dana, 69, and Caitlyns friend Shannon Planty, 14, a student in the Brushton-Moira Central School District. Also killed was the woman whose car was the first to be struck by the tractor-trailer, Maryann D. Gregory, 59, Dickinson Center, Franklin County.
Mr. Lottie, the father of four, is president of DOT-CSEA Local 518, and was traveling to Watertown for a business meeting, Ms. Burnett said.
Our family is asking all people in the community to please pray for Lews recovery and wish to send our condolences and deepest sympathy to those that lost their loved ones in this unfortunate accident, Ms. Burnett said.
Two trucks were at the front of the line and their drivers were not injured. The company owning the lead truck, a box tractor-trailer operated by Wayne Wielt, Clifton Park, has retained The Crash Lab Inc., Hampton, N.H., to conduct an independent investigation, according to a Crash Lab representative.
The second truck in line was a flatbed owned by ABC Lumber, Beloit, Wis., operated by Peter Feher, Syracuse.
Police cleared the accident scene shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday and reopened Route 11 at 9:17 p.m.

There is a new face to see at the Brevard Zoo.
A baby jaguar cub was born on January 26, now weighing 1.35 kg. At this time the sex of the cub is unknown. The baby jaguar is doing well and bonding with its mother, Masaya. It will be a couple of months before the cub ventures out on exhibit.
"I feel so fortunate to be able to work with Masaya and LeBron, the breeding pair. It isn't easy to introduce a male and female jaguar," said Kerry Sweeney, a curator at Brevard Zoo.
Masaya, gave birth to her first cub, Nindiri, in June 2007. She later had two male cubs, Jean and Phil, in September 2008. Nindiri was sent to the San Diego Zoo in June 2008 to be paired with a male jaguar as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan (AZA SSP). Nindiri gave birth to two cubs at the San Diego Zoo in April 2012. The two male cubs, Jean and Phil, were sent to the Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park in January 2010.
The 2010 published captive management plan noted there were 55 jaguars (23 males; 32 females) at 26 institutions. The target population size designated by the Felid Taxon Advisory Group, the group designated with overseeing captive felines in AZA facilities, is 120.

The eventful life of Lodovico Ferrari
Lodovico Ferrari was an Italian mathematician famed for solving the quartic equation. Ferrari was born in 1522 in Bologna and at the age of 14 became the servant of Gerolamo Cardan, a celebrated Italian Renaissance mathematician, physician, astrologer and gambler.
Ferrari showed mathematical promise at a young age, and at the age of 20 became a public lecturer in geometry. He was also a player in a great mathematical controversy of the time - who should get credit for the development of solutions for the cubic and quartic equations.
The controversy includes another notable mathematician of his day, Nicolo Fontana Tartaglia. Tartaglia was an Italian mathematician who was the first to apply mathematics to the investigation of the paths of cannonballs. He had developed his own solutions to the cubic equations, and when Cardan heard of this achievement, nagged a reluctant Tartaglia to show him his work. He succeeded only when he challenged him to a debate and implied that through his influence he could arrange a potentially lucrative contact with the governor of Milan. Tartaglia agreed to tell Cardan his method if Cardan would swear never to reveal it and to only ever write it down in code so that even if he died, nobody would ever discover it. Cardan agreed to this, and Tartaglia enigmatically handed over his formula in the form of a poem.
Several years later however, Cardan and Ferrari saw unpublished work by Scipione del Ferro who had independently devised the same solution as Tartaglia. This work was dated before the work of Tartaglia, and so they decided to break their promise and the include Tartaglia's solution in their published work. Based on Tartaglia's formula, Cardan and Ferrari found proofs for all cases of the cubic and, more impressively, solved the quartic equation - this was reportedly largely due to the work of Ferrari.
Tartaglia then started a campaign of public abuse directed at Cardan and Ferrari, and whilst most of the insults washed off Cardan - who was now established as the world's leading mathematician - Ferrari wrote to Tartaglia challenging him to a public debate. Tartaglia however did not consider Ferrari as worthy of debate - it was Cardan he wanted. Ferrari and Tartaglia traded insults for over a year until 1548 when Tartaglia received an offer of a lectureship in Brescia. To establish his credentials for the post, he was asked to take part in the debate with Ferrari.
Tartaglia was an experienced debater and expected to win. However, by the end of the first day, it was clear that things were not going his way and that Ferrari understood the cubic and quartic equations more thoroughly. Tartaglia decided to flee that night, with victory left to Ferrari. Ferrari's fame soared and he was inundated with offers of employment, including a request from the emperor.
Ferrari was appointed tax assessor to the governor of Milan, and after transferring to the service of the church, retired as a young (aged 42) and rich man. He moved back to his home town of Bologna and in with his widowed sister Maddalena. He died in 1565 of white arsenic poisoning, most likely administered by Maddalena. Maddalena did not grieve at his funeral and having inherited his fortune, remarried two weeks later. Her new husband promptly left her with all her fortune and she died in poverty.

So, youre telling me theres a chance?
For the Jefferson Community College womens basketball team, there is still a chance to qualify for the Region 3 Tournament for the first time since the 2005-06 season.
And unlike Jim Carreys character in the classic comedy, Dumb and Dumber, those chances are greater than one in a million.
After closing the regular season with a 51-46 Senior Day victory over Corning CC on Saturday afternoon at JCC, the Cannoneers will need to win this weeks Mid-State Athletic Conference Tournament to qualify for regionals.
We know that we have to win the next three games in order to make regionals, so well start with practice (today), JCC sophomore captain Morgan Kiernan said. Were not taking any days off. Were going to go hard and reach that goal.
JCC improved to 11-15 overall and is the No. 3 seed in the seven-team conference tournament. It will again host Corning CC (4-21), the No. 6 seed, in a first-round game on Tuesday.
The semifinals are scheduled for Friday night at Onondaga CC, and the finals are on Saturday at the same location.
Onondaga CC (24-2) and Finger Lakes CC (15-10) are the top two seeds.
We got to win now. So, go hard or go home, JCC freshman point guard Jasmine Canady said.
Canady led the Cannoneers with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists, and provided the big plays late in the game to help the team equal its best win total in seven seasons.
Canady provided the assist to sophomore Dalian Ramos on a fast break to give JCC a 47-46 lead with 2 minutes, 40 seconds left in the game.
She then hit a pair of jump shots, one from just inside the 3-point line, to seal the victory.
I think shes developed more, since shes been here, more of a scorer mentality, JCC coach Josh Woodward said of Canady. I think when she got here she wanted to be more of a facilitator.
Before she drained the two late jumpers, Canady had missed her first eight shot attempts of the second half.
If I miss a shot Ill miss a shot, but at the end I still have to shoot, Canady said. If it goes in, it goes in. If it doesnt, it doesnt. Some games are like that.
Kiernan scored 12 points and Tapulei Vaveao added 11 for JCC. Kiernan and Vaveao each grabbed eight rebounds.
Jane Judware provided a team-high 10 rebounds and three blocks.
Marissa Pike and Mollie Peck scored 21 and 17 points, respectively, for the Red Barons.
Corning CC suited up just six players, and lost starting guard Taylor Lathrop midway through the second half with an injury.
She fell hard to the floor and landed on her elbow, according to coach Becky Copp. She was unsure about the extent of the injury.
That set us back a little bit, Copp said.
Its a tough loss for us, obviously. We came ready to play and we played well, its one of those games where its just, whoever is able to pull it out. It was close all game and they were able to pull through, she added.
Sophomore guard Derrick Williams scored a game-high 34 points to go with seven rebounds, but it wasnt enough for the Cannoneers, who dropped their regular-season finale to the Red Barons at JCC.
Kenneth Thomas added 18 points for JCC (6-19), which will play at Finger Lakes CC in the first round of the Mid-State Athletic Conference Tournament on Tuesday.
Will Griffin led Corning CC (9-16) with 22 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals.

Reuters reported that soon after the third nuclear test conducted by the communist government of North Korea on February 12, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the test, saying it was "deplorable" that Pyongyang had defied international appeals to refrain from such provocative acts.
"The Secretary-General condemns the underground nuclear weapon test conducted by (North Korea) today," Ban's spokesman Martin Nesirky said in a statement made on the 12th. "It is a clear and grave violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions."
In an emergency session on February 12, the Security Council unanimously said the nuclear test poses "a clear threat to international peace and security" and pledged further action, reported Fox News. However, China, as a member of the Security Council, holds veto power over the imposition of sanctions on North Korea and it is uncertain as to whether China will use its veto to protect its ally.
In the February 12 nuclear test, North Korea exploded a device reported to be twice as powerful, yet smaller in size, than its last nuclear test on May 25, 2009. Following the 2009 test, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1874, condemning the test and tightening sanctions on the country.
North Korea's first such test was conducted on October 9, 2006. All three weapons were detonated underground, and theoretically meet the criteria established by the Limited (or Partial) Test Ban Treaty in 1963, which banned all nuclear tests except for those performed underground. (That treaty was initially singed by the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. North Korea has never acceded to or ratified that treaty, though 126 other states have.)
BBC News reported that the Pyongyang government described the test as a "self-defensive measure" necessitated by the "continued hostility" of the United States, and noted that China, considered to be North Korea's principle ally, was among the nations that criticized the test.
The BBC report cited the opinion of unnamed analysts who said that the smaller size of this device could bring Pyongyang closer to building a warhead small enough to be carried on a missile.
North Korea's official KCNA news agency announced the test with the following statement:

|...and Boone Still Wants Mediation
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 18 April 2013 16:15
The Town of Boone by letter this afternoon, rejected the circumstances of a meeting to resolve their differences over new Boone housing standards, standards that will kill the $19 million sale of the old Watauga High property. Town Manager Greg Young responded within the hour to the county's offer,
still maintains that mediation behind closed doors is legal and proper, and asked the county to take that action. Watauga County Manager Deron Geouque's letter to Boone Town Manager Greg Young still maintains the county's position of an open meeting in front of public and press as opposed to the town's desire for closed mediation. The town had offered four possible dates for meeting, those in today's letter as well, beginning Tuesday, and Geouque's letter indicates that Tuesday at 5:30 would be their choice--the day before the due diligence period ends on the sale of the property. The Boone Town Council holds their second regularly scheduled meeting tonight, and there may be a further response to the county at that point. The county voted Tuesday to send a letter to the state to change the sales tax distribution in the county, a move that would cost the town $2 million annually, county commission chairman Nathan Miller saying that the move was to help the county recover some of their loss from what is anticipated as the cancelled sale of the old high school and the devaluation of the property due to the Boone Town Council action.
