Pub. L. 97–415, § 13,Jan. 4, 1983, 96 Stat. 2074, provided that:
"(a) The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is authorized and directed to implement and accelerate the resident inspector program so as to assure the assignment of at least one resident inspector by the end of fiscal year 1982 at each site at which a commercial nuclear powerplant is under construction and construction is more than 15 percent complete. At each such site at which construction is not more than 15 percent complete, the Commission shall provide that such inspection personnel as the Commission deems appropriate shall be physically present at the site at such times following issuance of the construction permit as may be necessary in the judgment of the Commission.
"(b) The Commission shall conduct a study of existing and alternative programs for improving quality assurance and quality control in the construction of commercial nuclear powerplants. In conducting the study, the Commission shall obtain the comments of the public, licensees of nuclear powerplants, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, and organizations comprised of professionals having expertise in appropriate fields. The study shall include an analysis of the following:
"(1) providing a basis for quality assurance and quality control, inspection, and enforcement actions through the adoption of an approach which is more prescriptive than that currently in practice for defining principal architectural and engineering criteria for the construction of commercial nuclear powerplants;
"(2) conditioning the issuance of construction permits for commercial nuclear powerplants on a demonstration by the licensee that the licensee is capable of independently managing the effective performance of all quality assurance and quality control responsibilities for the powerplant;
"(3) evaluations, inspections, or audits of commercial nuclear powerplant construction by organizations comprised of professionals having expertise in appropriate fields which evaluations, inspections, or audits are more effective than those under current practice;
"(4) improvement of the Commission's organization, methods, and programs for quality assurance development, review, and inspection; and
"(5) conditioning the issuance of construction permits for commercial nuclear powerplants on the permittee entering into contracts or other arrangements with an independent inspector to audit the quality assurance program to verify quality assurance performance.For purposes of paragraph (5), the term 'independent inspector' means a person or other entity having no responsibility for the design or construction of the plant involved. The study shall also include an analysis of quality assurance and quality control programs at representative sites at which such programs are operating satisfactorily and an assessment of the reasons therefor.
"(c) For purposes of—
"(1) determining the best means of assuring that commercial nuclear powerplants are constructed in accordance with the applicable safety requirements in effect pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 [42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.]; and
"(2) assessing the feasibility and benefits of the various means listed in subsection (b);the Commission shall undertake a pilot program to review and evaluate programs that include one or more of the alternative concepts identified in subsection (b) for the purposes of assessing the feasibility and benefits of their implementation. The pilot program shall include programs that use independent inspectors for auditing quality assurance responsibilities of the licensee for the construction of commercial nuclear powerplants, as described in paragraph (5) of subsection (b). The pilot program shall include at least three sites at which commercial nuclear powerplants are under construction. The Commission shall select at least one site at which quality assurance and quality control programs have operated satisfactorily, and at least two sites with remedial programs underway at which major construction, quality assurance, or quality control deficiencies (or any combination thereof) have been identified in the past. The Commission may require any changes in existing quality assurance and quality control organizations and relationships that may be necessary at the selected sites to implement the pilot program.
"(d) Not later than fifteen months after the date of the enactment of this Act [Jan. 4, 1983], the Commission shall complete the study required under subsection (b) and submit to the United States Senate and House of Representatives a report setting forth the results of the study. The report shall include a brief summary of the information received from the public and from other persons referred to in subsection (b) and a statement of the Commission's response to the significant comments received. The report shall also set forth an analysis of the results of the pilot program required under subsection (c). The report shall be accompanied by the recommendations of the Commission, including any legislative recommendations, and a description of any administrative actions that the Commission has undertaken or intends to undertake, for improving quality assurance and quality control programs that are applicable during the construction of nuclear powerplants."

Message of the President
To the Congress of the United States:
I am submitting herewith to the Congress Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1980, under authority vested in me by the Reorganization Act of 1977 (Chapter 9 of Title 5 of the United States Code). The Plan is designed to strengthen management of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in order to foster safety in all of the agency's activities.
The need for more effective management of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been amply demonstrated over the past year. The accident at Three Mile Island one year ago revealed serious shortcomings in the agency's ability to respond effectively during a crisis. The lessons learned from that accident go beyond crisis management, however. They provide the impetus for improving the effectiveness of all aspects of the government regulation of nuclear energy.
In my statement of December 7, 1979, I responded to the recommendations of my Commission on the Accident at Three Mile Island and set forth steps now being taken to address those recommendations. I stated that I would send to Congress a Reorganization Plan to strengthen the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ability to regulate nuclear safety. I am submitting that Plan today.
The Plan clarifies the duties of the Chairman as principal executive officer. In addition to directing the day-to-day operations of the agency, the Chairman would take charge of the Commission's response to nuclear emergencies and, as principal executive officer, would be guided by Commission policy and subject to Commission oversight.
management problems
Intensive investigations undertaken since the Three Mile Island accident have revealed management problems at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These problems must be rectified if the Commission is to be a strong and effective safety regulator.—My Commission, called the Kemeny Commission after its Chairman, Dr. John Kemeny, concluded that the underlying problem at Three Mile Island stemmed not from deficient equipment but rather from compounded human failures. This included the inability of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to pursue its safety mission effectively in view of its existing management policies and practices. The Kemeny Commission reported a lack of "closure" in the system to ensure that safety issues are raised, analyzed and resolved. Kemeny Commission members also concluded that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission relies too heavily on licensing, and pays insufficient attention to ensuring the safety of plants once they are in operation. —During the course of its investigation, the Kemeny Commission found serious managerial problems at the top of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It noted that the Commissioners and the Chairman are unclear as to their respective roles. Uncertain, diffuse leadership of this kind leads to highly compartmentalized offices that operate with little or no effective guidance and little coordination. —A recently completed independent study authorized and funded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission itself also found serious fault with the Commission's management and called for a major organizational overhaul. The report states that there is no authoritative manager but, instead, five equally responsible Commissioners who deal individually with office directors who, in turn, head their own "independent fiefdoms." —Likewise, a recent report of the General Accounting Office notes the failure of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to define either the authority of the Chairman or that of the Executive Director for Operations. The staff lacks policy guidance and top management leadership to set priorities and resolve safety issues. There are unreasonable delays in developing policies to guide the licensing and enforcement activities of the agency.
The central theme in all three of these studies is the failure of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to provide unified leadership and consistent direction of the agency's activities. The present statutes contain conflicting and ambiguous provisions for managing the agency. Important corrective actions cannot or will not be taken by the Commission until the laws are changed. Failure to do so constitutes a continuing nuclear safety hazard.
The present Reorganization Plan would improve the effectiveness of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by giving the Chairman the powers he needs to ensure efficient and coherent management in a manner that preserves, in fact enhances, the commission form of organization.
Under the proposed Plan, the Commission would continue to be responsible for policy formulation, rulemaking and adjudication as functions which should have collegial deliberation. In addition, the Commission would review and approve proposals by the Chairman concerning key management actions such as personnel decisions affecting top positions which directly support Commission functions, the annual budget, and major staff reorganizations. In carrying out its role, the Commission would have the direct assistance of several Commission-level offices as well as the licensing board, the appeal panel, and the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards. The Plan would not alter the present arrangement whereby the Commission, acting on majority vote, represents the ultimate authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and sets the framework within which the Chairman is to operate.
Under the Plan, the Chairman would act as the principal executive officer and spokesman for the Commission. To accomplish this, those functions of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission not retained by the Commission would be vested in the Chairman, who is currently coequal with the Commissioners in all decisions and actions. The Chairman would be authorized to make appointments, on his own authority, to all positions not specified for Commission approval and would be responsible to the Commission for assuring staff support by the operating offices in meeting the needs of the Commission. The Executive Director for Operations would report directly to and receive his authority from the Chairman. Heads of operating offices would also report to the Chairman or, by delegation, to the Executive Director for Operations. Office heads would also be authorized to communicate directly with members of the Commission whenever an office head believed critical safety issues were not being addressed.
emergency management
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's ability to respond decisively and responsibly to any nuclear emergency must be fully ensured in advance. Experience has shown that the Commission as a whole cannot deal expeditiously with emergencies or communicate in a clear, unified voice to civil authorities or to the public. But present law prevents the Commission from delegating its emergency authority to one of its members. The Plan would correct this situation by specifically authorizing the Chairman to act for the Commission in an emergency. In order to ensure flexibility, the Chairman would be permitted to delegate his authority to deal with a particular emergency to any other Commissioner. Plans for dealing with various contingencies would be approved by the Commission in advance. The Commission would also receive a report from the Chairman or his designee describing the management of the emergency once it was over.
actions not included in this plan
Not included in this Plan are two actions that I support in principle but that need not or cannot be accomplished by means of a Reorganization Plan. First the Commission, as part of its implementation of this reorganization, can and should establish an internal entity to help oversee the performance of the agency as it operates under the Chairman's direction. This action does not require a Reorganization Plan. Second, I have consistently favored funding assistance to intervenors in regulatory proceedings. This is particularly important in the case of nuclear safety regulation. I therefore encourage the Commission to include consideration of intervenor funding as part of its review and upgrading of the licensing process, as called for by the Kemeny Commission. I have also requested Congress to appropriate funds for this purpose. This activity cannot be authorized by a Reorganization Plan.
no added costs
This proposed realignment and clarification of responsibilities would not result in an increase or decrease of expenditures. But placing management responsibilities in the Chairman would result in greater attention to developing and implementing nuclear safety policies and to strict enforcement of the terms of licenses granted by the Commission.
Each of the provisions of this proposed reorganization would also accomplish one or more of the purposes set forth in 5 U.S.C. 901 (a). No statutory functions would be abolished by the Plan; rather they would be consolidated or reassigned in order to improve management, delivery of services, execution of the law, and overall operational efficiency and effectiveness of the Commission.
By Executive Order No. 12202, dated March 18, 1980 [42 U.S.C. 5848 note], I established a Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee to advise me of progress being made by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the nuclear industry, and others in improving nuclear safety. I am confident that the present Reorganization Plan, together with the other steps that have been or are being taken by this Administration and by others, will greatly advance the goal of nuclear safety. It would permit the Commission and the American people to hold one individual—the Chairman—accountable for implementation of the Commission's policies through effective management of the Commission staff. Freed of management and administrative details, the Commission could then concentrate on the purpose for which that collegial body was created—to deliberate on the formulation of policy and rules to govern nuclear safety and to decide or oversee disposition of individual cases.Jimmy Carter.
The White House, March 27, 1980.
Message of the President
To the Congress of the United States:
I herewith transmit the following amendments to Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1980, which I sent to the Congress on March 27, 1980.
The amendments to Reorganization Plan No. 1 are consistent with my original intent of strengthening the management of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in order to improve safety in all of the agency's activities, while preserving the advantages of the Commission form. The amendments reinforce the purpose of the Plan in two respects. First, the amended Plan gives the Commission a greater role in selection of key program officers of the agency by adding four positions to the list of appointments initiated by the Chairman for the Commission's advice and consent. These are the Executive Director for Operations, the Director of Inspection and Enforcement, the Director of Nuclear Regulatory Research, and the Director of Standards Development. Each of these positions contributes to nuclear safety regulation, and each performs functions that help determine the policy and performance of the agency.
The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards advises the Commission as a whole. Since its members serve renewable 4-year terms, another amendment provides that a Commission member, as well as the Chairman, can initiate an appointment to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards for approval by the Commission.
As a means to ensure that the flow of information to the Commission will not be restricted, the Plan has been amended to make explicit that the Chairman, and the Executive Director of Operations through the Chairman, shall keep the Commission fully and currently informed.
The second general purpose of the amendments is to provide for more effective management of the agency by making more explicit the responsibilities of the Chairman and the Executive Director for Operations acting under his direction. As amended, the Plan charges the Chairman with planning for the development of policy for consideration and approval by the Commission. In the past, this responsibility has not been clearly fixed and has consequently been neglected. The amended Plan continues to make clear that the Executive Director for Operations reports to the Chairman. An amendment, however, requires the Chairman to delegate to the Executive Director for Operations the authority to appoint the staff and the day-to-day administration of the agency. Under this arrangement, the Chairman retains responsibility for the delegated functions but will be better able to handle his other leadership tasks.
In summary, the amendments I am transmitting to Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1980, based on review and hearings conducted by the Congress and on continued consultations, will help establish a more accountable central management structure for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as it pursues its statutory objective of ensuring safety in the use of nuclear power.Jimmy Carter.
The White House, May 5, 1980.
Executive Order No. 11902
Ex. Ord. No. 11902, Feb. 2, 1976, 41 F.R. 4877, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 12038, Feb. 3, 1978, 43 F.R. 4957, which set out procedures for the export licensing policy as to nuclear materials and equipment, was revoked by Ex. Ord. No. 12058, May 11, 1978, 43 F.R. 20947, set out as a note under section 3201 of Title 22, Foreign Relations and Intercourse.

Are you able to attend the Convention, Mamma Mia? I hope they put ALOT of pictures and film on the Cubs blog so that those of us who cannot attend will be able to see some of the festivities. Hope the weather will cooperate so that all the guys can get in to Chicago. I remember last year they had their first snow of the season on the day the Cubs arrived. Enjoy, enjoy – all of you who attend.
Wait, Baez is the 18 yr old, right?
Let's hope that while attending the convention…they are not invited to spring training.
Okay – now I am really confused! What in the world are you talking about Joey? Why would you have to wear a disguise? And who is "The One Who Will Remain Nameless"? What a mystery we have here! I've got some secrets too – so I guess we shall all remain "in the dark" at some times. LOL Oh yeah – Mamma Mia thinks it is cold in Arizona. HaHa. In the 20′ s and 30's here in Oregon. Brrrrrrrr

A woman was airlifted after being ejected from her car as it overturned in a Saturday afternoon wreck. The wreck occurred at about 3:30 on NC 181 near Jonas Ridge, the woman found outside her car crying when witnesses arrived on the down the embankment where her car landed.
First arriving Avery Medics called for WINGS Air Rescue to land at Mountaineer Equipment just up from the crash site, and the woman was flown to the Johnson City Medical Center for treatment while the state patrol worked to determine the cause of the crash.

About This Brand
Random House, Inc. assumed its current ownership with its acquisition by Bertelsmann in 1998, which brought together the imprints of the former Random House, Inc. with those of the former Bantam Doubleday Dell. Random House, Inc.'s adult publishing groups are the Crown Publishing Group, the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, and the Random House Publishing Group. The Random House Children's Books division is the world's largest publisher of books for young readers. Together, these groups and their imprints publish fiction and nonfiction, both original and reprints, by some of the foremost and most popular writers of our time. They appear in a full range of formats.including hardcover, trade paperback, mass market paperback, audio, electronic, and digital, for the widest possible readership from adults to young adults and children. The reach of Random House is global, with Random House publishing companies in nineteen countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, U.S., and Venezuela. Through Random House International, the books published by the imprints of Random House, Inc. are sold in virtually every country in the world. Random House has long been committed to publishing the best literature by writers both in the United States and abroad. In addition to their commercial success, books published by Random House, Inc. have won an unrivalled number of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes. The signature Random House imprint was founded in 1925, when Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer purchased The Modern Library, reprints of classic works of literature, from publisher Horace Liveright. Two years later, in 1927, they decided to broaden their publishing activities, and the Random House colophon made its debut. Random House first made international news by successfully defending in court the U.S. publication of James Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses, setting a major legal precedent for freedom of speech. Beginning in the 1930s, the company moved into publishing for children, and over the years has become a leader in the field. Random House entered reference publishing in 1947 with the highly successful American College Dictionary, which was followed in 1966 by the equally successful unabridged Random House Dictionary of the English Language. It continues to publish numerous reference works, including the Random House Webster's College Dictionary. In 1960, Random House acquired the distinguished American publishing house of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., and, a year later, Pantheon Books, which had been established in New York by European editors to publish works from abroad. Both were assured complete editorial independence.a policy which continues in all parts of the company to this day. Random House, Inc. was itself acquired in 1965 by the major media corporation, RCA. The publisher's expansion continued with the acquisition in 1973 of Ballantine Books, whose mass market paperback publishing program enabled Random House to reach a much broader and more diverse readership. In 1980, Random House was acquired by Advance Publications, Inc., a privately held company. There followed a period of significant growth, including the acquisition of the paperback publisher Fawcett Books in 1982; the creation of Villard Books, a new hardcover imprint, in 1983; the acquisition of Times Books from The New York Times Company in 1984; and Fodor's Travel Guides, acquired in 1986. In 1988, Random House again grew dramatically with the acquisition of the Crown Publishing Group, whose imprints included Crown; Clarkson Potter, Inc.; Harmony Books; and the Outlet Book Company, a major publisher of low-priced books now known as Random House Value Publishing. Having established Random House of Canada in 1944, Random House significantly expanded its international presence in 1987 to the United Kingdom with the acquisition of the British publishing group, Chatto, Virago, Bodley Head & Jonathan Cape, Ltd. The London operation was further expanded with the acquisition of Century Hutchinson Ltd. in 1989, and the trade division of Reed Books in 1997. Both the Canadian and UK operations grew substantially in 1998 with the acquisition of Random House, Inc. by Bertelsmann AG. Bertelsmann's Doubleday Canada and Bantam Books Canada merged with Random House of Canada, whose imprints also include Random House Canada, Knopf Canada, Vintage Canada, and Ballantine Canada. Transworld UK, Bertelsmann's UK operation, joined Random House UK, with subsidiaries in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Verlagsgruppe Random House, based in Munich, is Germany's trade-book-publishing market leader. Random House Mondadori, a joint venture with Italy's Mondadori Publishers, is the second-largest Spanish-language trade-book publisher, with highly respected imprints in Spain and Latin America.

Conservation Officer Dennis Shumway reports that worms and PowerBait have been the ticket at Blanding #3 and #4 reservoirs. The pike in Recapture Reservoir are hitting very well. Anglers from across the state have been fishing here for a chance at a good pike. The water at Lloyds Lake is really low, but the fishing is good. It was stocked a few weeks ago and the stocked rainbows have been easy to catch. Foy Reservoir and Monticello Lake are full and both offer good fishing.
(June 18) During the family fishing event last Saturday, kids and adults experienced excellent fishing. Try using nightcrawlers or PowerBait with glitter.
(On June 6) Tom Ogden reported fair fishing. He fly fished for 2.5 hours in the afternoon and caught five rainbows. One rainbow was eight inches long. Four were 16 inches and fat. Tom used fast sinking line and size 4 wooly buggers in black/green/pearl or black/red/blue.
(June 18) Lures are outperforming flies at Duck Fork Reservoir. Sergeant Stacey Jones reports that gold and orange-flecked spinners have been the most effective. Biologists have been stripping eggs and milt from spawning cutthroat trout this week. Fertilized eggs have been taken to Fountain Green Hatchery for hatching and developing.
On June 14, Tom Ogden fly-fished from a kick boat for 4.5 hours. All trout were 8 to 14 inches. He used fast sinking line with size 6 soft hackle flies in red/black and blue.
(June 07) Conservation Officer Devin Christensen reports slow fishing, but indicates that panther martins and blue foxes have been somewhat effective in a few colors. Rod Stephens says that there are plenty of fish and good opportunity in the tributaries, which are not protected from angling.
(June 07) Conservation Officer Devin Christensen reports good fishing in the morning and evening. He reminds anglers that tributaries are closed to fishing until the second weekend in July. On June 6, Tom Ogden fly fished from a kick boat. In one hour he caught nine rainbows and one cutthroat. Each fish was small. Tom used a slow sinking line with a size 8 beadhead soft hackle fly in black/green or black/red/blue.
(June 07) On June 6, Tom Ogden fished for five hours in the late morning and caught eight small tigers. He used a size 6 beadhead wooly bugger in black/copper or black/red/blue.
(June 07) Conservation Officer Tj Robertson reports good fishing at Oowah Reservoir. He and his family fished last Sunday and caught 14 fish in a couple of hours. They used purple PowerBait and red Jakes Spin-a-Lures.
(June 18) High winds produced poor fishing conditions last weekend.
(June 07) Rod Stephens reports good fishing using a panther martin with a yellow body and blade with red dots.
(June 18) Shoreline fishing is good on the east side for 8- to 10-inch tiger and cutthroat trout. The best baits are redside shiners and chubs or chub meat. For rainbow trout, use glitter PowerBait and nightcrawlers. Troll in deeper water with spoons (like Daredevils) for larger trout. Early morning is the best time to fish.
(June 18) Tom Ogden caught 22 tiger trout in 2.5 hours from a kick boat last week. Trout ranged from 12 to 16 inches. He used a size 8 bead head, black and red, soft hackle fly.
(June 18) Powerful winds and blowing dust dampened the fishing success.

Righties are only hitting .152 with 2 runs allowed none earned. If he can just get his lefty numbers down im seeing a nice improvement from last season with walks down K's up and no homers allowed so far.

Parker's not the only guy in our system that needs to step up this year. Guys like Brendan Webb, BOBBY Bundy, Jason Esposito, Michael Ohlman, nick Demonico ALL need to show that they're elite prospects or they're going to end up watching other player move ahead of them on the road to Baltimore.

Not calling you out as being wrong ofahn, but that statement implies there is talent behind them. I do not know that to be the case. I say that as so far into the minor league season, there is plenty of disappointment at each level to count. Success, not so much.

On one hand this is where he needs to show that he is far and away past ready for promotion to Frederick. He turns 22 this season and as you said, this is his third go round in the SAL. Either the kid can pitch and is a legitimate prospect or he's minor league fodder to me.

HR/9 is down from 1.2 to 0.5.

His 3.58 FIP suggests he should be pitching much better than what he is currently doing.

From what I've read he's being more aggressive in the strike zone, but his command isn't what it should be and he's giving up big hits. I'm hoping it will all come together for him because he has the talent to move through the system quickly if he does.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
After advancing to the 3A quarterfinals for the third straight year, the Carbon High baseball team will look to put past results behind them as they look to advance to the semifinals for the first time since winning the state title in 2005.
But a familiar foe awaits as the Dinos will faceoff against the Desert Hills Thunder today (Thursday, May 16) at 11 a.m. at UVU.
The last time the two teams met on the diamond, 2011 state tourney in the winner's bracket, Carbon had a 3-2 lead heading into the top of the sixth inning. The aptly-named Thunder rallied for 10 runs over the final two innings to send the Dinos to the consolation bracket with a 12-3 loss.
After starting quickly on offense in both wins over Juan Diego and Dixie High on Saturday in the regionals, CHS head coach Troy Moynier said the importance of scoring early in games can help give the Dinos a boost.
"Getting an early lead helps build confidence for the kids out there," he said. While offense can be a key factor, Moynier said good play on defense to stop rallies can be devastating to a team trying to make a comeback.
If the Dinos defeat Desert Hills, they would face the winner of Snow Canyon/Canyon View on Friday at 4:30 p.m. If the Dinos lose, they will move to the consolation bracket on Friday morning at 11 a.m. with an opponent to be determined.

A young man named Adam wakes to find himself chained to a rusty pipe inside a decrepit subterranean chamber. Chained to the opposite side of the room is another bewildered captive, Dr. Lawrence Gordon. Between them is a dead man lying in a pool of blood, holding a .38 in his hand. Neither man knows why he has been abducted, but instructions left on a micro cassette order Dr. Gordon to kill Adam within eight hours. If he fails to do so, then both men will die; Dr. Gordon's wife, Alison, and his daughter will also be killed. Recalling a recent murder investigation by a police detective named Tapp, Dr. Gordon realizes he and Adam are the next victims of a psychopathic genius known only as "Jigsaw." With only a few hours left to spare, they must unravel the elaborate puzzle of their fate in the midst of mounting terror. The killer has provided them with only a few clues and two handsaws--too weak to break their steel shackles, but strong enough to cut through flesh and bone.

FIFTH OVERALL PICK IS AVAILABLETo add quality young vet, NYI will listen to offers
(Editor's Note: A few minutes before the following story was published, Katie Strang of Newsday posted a more thorough piece with quotes from Garth Snow. The timing was purely coincidental, even if it is draft time. You'll want to check out Katie's story for on-the-record information).
4:30 pm: For the first time since the Collapse-and-Rebuild began in 2008, the Islanders are dangling their first round draft pick as trade bait. NHL sources have told Point Blank that general manager Garth Snow will listen to offers for the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft.
The team is determined to upgrade the current roster in order to make next year's playoffs. Snow, chief deputy Doug Weight and owner Charles Wang have prioritized adding at least one productive and experienced forward capable of shifting the slow and steady rebuild into overdrive. If the right player is made available, the Islanders will not hesitate to relinquish their rights to draft a talented 18-year-old prospect on the draft floor in Minnesota on Friday night, June 24.
Flyers center/right wing Jeff Carter fits the profile in terms of age (26) and ability (he has averaged 38 goals over the last 3 seasons). However, his salary ($5.2 million cap hit), DiPietrovian term (he is signed for the next 11 years) and temperament (sometimes pouty) should rule him out. Carter does not seem like a player willing to be part of a struggling franchise's solution.
There will, however, be other players available. The Islanders have said it's a challenge getting Grade A unrestricted free agents to take their money. Therefore, trading for an established and accomplished player makes a lot of sense.
The Islanders are unwilling to trade any of their top prospects. Their young players failing to play well consistently currently have little trade value. The fifth overall pick, in a draft with a strong top ten featuring a balance of gifted forwards and defensemen, has immense value.
Cap-strapped NHL teams will be able to make their best offer, as long as their GMs do not demand the Islanders give up a No. 5 pick strictly for salary cap relief or overpaid players past their prime. If any teams are willing to offer equal value, the Islanders are listening.
Point Blank Take: Despite the Islanders' best intentions to move up the pace of the rebuild (and spend more money) this summer, it will be a challenge for Snow to find a dance partner willing to pay a fair price for the fifth overall pick. There's always the chance of Snow moving down in the first round for a lower pick and a key veteran. But in the most likely scenario, the Islanders will step up to the podium after the New Jersey Devils make their selection at 4 and take the player highest on their board.
As we wrote on June 5:
The NHL scouting combine over, look for the Islanders to have meetings between now and the draft with the following top-10 draft prospects, among others: Jonathan Huberdeau (gone before 5), Gabriel Landeskog (same), Adam Larsson (maybe not), Ryan Strome, Dougie Hamilton, Ryan Murphy, Sean Couturier, Sven Bartschi and – per the AP – Mika Zibanejad.
For the Islanders to forfeit their chance to take one player from this impressive group, the trade acquisition had better be something special. Snow is smart to dangle the pick, but it's a long shot that he'll find what he's looking for prior to the first round of the draft. He'll probably have to reel in the big fish another day.

Colvin has a had a rocky road in his career and been very up and down. He had a stellar 2012 for the Rockies and bounced between AAA and the Majors last season. A decent pick up and theoretical platoon partner, he has hit Righties much better in his career.

His 2010 season was most likely better than his 2012 season. Anyway, his 113 games in 2009, 2011, and 2013 have really brought down his career average. 2010 is really his only good season IMO. Considering he really doesn't provide value on defense, on the base-paths, and his on-base abilities, his only real strength is power vs. RHP. I don't think he's very good.

So in the interest of less local meetups, I propose meeting in Washington D.C. on September 19th, to basically dress like pirates and frighten people in (one of) the Nations Capitol.
for more local people, it would make an excellent Saturday day trip. For those farther away and with the means to transport yourselves here, we could organize some guest room type usage. In the fall my house should have three guest beds open, in separate rooms.
Also to make it worthwhile for people spending one or more nights, we can plan to do stuff Friday through Sunday. Friday for it is the holy day, Saturday for it would be the Talk Like a Pirate Day, and Sunday just for the halibut.
I definitely think we should make a big ruckus on the mall or something. Or play the role of really incompetent tourist pirates in any of the Smithsonian museums, continually asking employees inane but entertaining questions as a group.
So! If you are local and interested, post! If you've got a room or bed or couch to spare that weekend, do pipe up! And if you're not local but do want to come, post as well! We can work something out.

Two more properties have been added to the Army Compatible Use Buffer, in deals closed last week and announced Monday.
The properties announced were a 403.6-acre property in Antwerp, Rossie and Fowler owned by the Wucjik family, and a 150-acre property in Evans Mills owned by Randy Griffith.
A call to a number provided for Frank Wucjik was unsuccessful. Gordon Griffith, who finalized the deal for Mr. Griffith, his father, after his death a few months ago, was not available Monday afternoon.
It was my fathers wish that his land be preserved perpetually as farmland, which is what originally made him interested in the ACUB program, Gordon Griffith said in a press release issued in connection to the acquisitions.
The program permanently purchases the development rights for agricultural properties, to prevent encroachment of activity near areas used for training at Fort Drum. The program, a partnership among the Army, the Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust and Ducks Unlimited, has dedicated about $5.2 million to buy the development rights of about 3,446 acres, when Mondays additions are included.
Both of them are great additions to the properties we already have protected, said Linda M. Garrett, the land trusts executive director. She noted the properties are adjacent to other properties that have had their development rights purchased.
Its great to be filling in the puzzle pieces of the area out there, Mrs. Garrett said.
Though the development rights are sold for the land, the properties remain in private ownership and on municipal tax rolls.
She said the development rights for the Wucjik property were acquired for $475,560, while the Griffith propertys development rights cost $231,570.
With the new acquisitions announced Monday, Mrs. Garrett said that five properties were in the process of being appraised, with funding potentially in place should those proceedings move forward.
Franz J. Philippe, who oversees the buffer program on post, said the program was a win-win for the community and for farmers.
The director of plans, analysis and integration for the posts garrison said the funding for the current fiscal year, at about $2 million, was about four times the amount spent the previous fiscal year.
What youre seeing now is the tipping point, Mr. Philippe said. Its the fruition of a lot of work that people have put in since 2009.
He said it was encouraging to see more landowners expressing interest to the post in becoming a part of the program.
The momentum is absolutely gaining right now, Mr. Philippe said. As more and more landowners get into the program, word gets out.

Watertown city police are trying to figure out how a car went off the road on Water Street late Friday afternoon and ended up submerged in the Black River.
Details were sketchy, but four family members, including two adults, a teenager and a small child, were inside the sports utility vehicle when the accident happened about 5 p.m. near Jain Irrigation, which occupies the old Chapin Watermatics Inc. plant on the streets 700 block.
All of the unidentified people got out safely and made their way to the riverbank, police said. They were treated on scene and were taken by ambulance to Samaritan Medical Center with minor injuries.
Lt. Charles P. Chip Donoghue said he couldnt be any happier to see all four people from the vehicle on shore when he arrived in the first group of responders to the scene. That was the best possible outcome for all this.
He said it was not often vehicles enter the river.
The SUV went over the embankment and landed in the middle of the river, where it became completely submerged, police said. The crash also left a big gash in the road, which Lt. Donoghue speculated was caused by a vehicle part dragging along the ground.
Trent A. Rounds, sitting on his front porch near the crash area, said he was near his homes front window when the crash occurred.
I just saw dust flying by, he said. Immediately afterward, he said, he heard the impact of the crash.
Outside, he could hear other people yelling about the crash. Running down to the edge of the water with his stepfather, Travis J. Bice, Mr. Rounds said, he saw a woman with blonde hair holding a child and a male teenager and another woman swimming to shore. He said he saw a large cut on the womans chin, creating a line of blood on the lower part of her face.
Mr. Bice said he ran back up to the road to call 911, and emergency crews arrived about five minutes later.
Eleanor V. VanEpps said she was lying on her couch when the crash occurred, and she heard the bang clearly.
I thought it was a bomb, she said.
The rivers fast current carried the SUV downstream, police said. First responders were trying to figure how to get the vehicle out of the water.
Police had not yet released a finalized accident report as of Friday night.
Times staff writers Craig Fox and Jaegun Lee contributed to this report.

Forget about A CHRISTMAS STORY or Charlie Brown. Heck, forget about Baby Jesus! LOVE ACTUALLY is basically the whole reason I celebrate Christmas. For, without this masterpiece of a romantic comedy, there would be no love in this cold, cruel world. Plus, we'd all be stuck singing "Jingle Bells" instead of everyone's favorite carol, "Christmas Is All Around."
I challenge you to find one other movie that combines Colin Firth, an adorable little boy with a dead mom, the British Prime Minister, the porn industry, Mr. Bean, a washed up rock star and a kid in an octopus costume into something that makes me cry tears of shimmering, golden joy into my mug of spiced wine. This film TROUNCES all other holiday films in the "squee" category. I mean, ask me how many times I've rewound and watched the scene when Mark shows up at Juliet's door and shows her a sign that says, "To me, you are perfect." Because OMG I WANT THAT!!!!
Join us for this very special holiday edition of Girlie Night, where you're allowed (and expected) to squeal, sigh and grab your neighbor's arm when Colin Firth finally proposes to that Portugese lady. Just in cases! (Sarah Pitre)

HENDERSON The beach at Southwick Beach State Park was closed on Friday because of water quality concerns.
Daniel L. Keefe, a spokesman for the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, said the beach was closed after a water sample test showed levels of bacterial contamination beyond appropriate levels.
He said the earliest the park could reopen is today, depending on further tests of water samples.
He said increased levels of contamination are not uncommon following heavy rain.

Sea to Summit
TK II 18° F Sleeping Bag
In Stock Product Number: 25342
The Sea to Summit TK II 18 degree sleeping bag, the most versatile bag in the Trek Series, is an excellent companion for winter camping or a long night in a cold train station. This down sleeping bag is EN-rated to a lower-limit temperature of 18 degrees F and a comfort temperature of 30 degrees F.
The Trek Series down sleeping bags are designed with a tapered rectangular shape, which is a happy medium between the comfort of a generous cut and the warmth of a closer fit. Sea to Summit uses premium 650 loft down insulation, with a 2D PermaShell™ DWR (Durable Water Repellent) shell fabric to protect that down from moisture. Innovations like the 3D Sidewall and Reverse Differential Cut keep the insulation in place for maximum thermal efficiency. Temperature ratings are the result of honest, third-party EN testing performed on each sleeping bag.
The TK II features a full-length side and foot zip so it can be opened into a full duvet, for use indoors or in warmer weather. Side block baffles maintain a 60:40 fill ratio, with more down atop the bag where you need it most. The soft-touch lining fabric is highly breathable for comfort. A zipper draft tube minimizes heat loss, with anti-snag material to ensure smooth zipper operation. An oversized security pocket inside the bag is easy to access, and ideal for stashing passports and other valuables while traveling.
The Trek series is Sea to Summit's choice for adventure travel and touring, whether you're sleeping in hostels throughout Europe, backpacking in South America or traveling through the Stirling Ranges in Western Australia. These down sleeping bags are so revolutionary we can't fit all of the information here, so check out this series of articles on our blog!

Comments about Sea to Summit TK II 18° F Sleeping Bag:
This is the first time leaving a review, being that I decided to buy this particular bag solely off of reviews i felt that would be the most courtesy thing to do. First off, I was very sceptical about spending a large amount of money for this item, after recalling one of the most coldest nights I've ever been in I quickly knew that I didn't want to go skimpy in the sleeping bag area. Even though the bag arrived rather quickly, I could hardly wait to hop in the sack. To my surprise the bag exceeded the price in every aspect. Thanks to all who took the time to write a review, it was a huge help in making a Great buy.

Comments about Sea to Summit TK II 18° F Sleeping Bag:
Western Mountaineering Sycamore MF and TK II 18deg Sea To Summit (STS), my choice was narrowed down to these two to for a bag that could be used full 3 Seasons here in Scandinavia (I live in Denmark)The construction somehow seems to be more advanced on the STS, then the on the WM, I was trying them both in a shop to feel them and read a lot of reviews - The STS won for having a complete package, wash, store, and compression bags comes with it -but also the Zippers and the loft in the bag seams to be better. Update: I have now also some real world experience with it. And for 5 nights it have been living up to my exceptions.
