Alas, poor Kokopelli finds himself among odds and ends in the city's paint shop.
Kokopelli may be more famous locally than originally thought.
The Native American statue was removed two weeks ago from its place in the middle of the intersection of Main Street and 100 West after a decision was made by Price City to take the statue down with the intention of placing it at another location.
The statue, which has been in place for about five years, was located in the middle of the street which created problems for traffic at the intersection and even caused a few accidents, according to Gary Sonntag, public works director with Price City.
Now the spot where Kokopelli once stood is barren, only leaving a mark on the pavement that outlines the dimensions of the foundation it was placed on.
Price City council members and Mayor Piccolo discussed the topic of Kokopelli at their last city council meeting on Oct. 27. The statue has been placed in city storage and plans are calling for the statue to be placed in a permanent location in the spring.
While a permanent location for Kokopelli has not been finalized yet, the Sun Advocate is interested in hearing your ideas.
Send an e-mail to email@example.com and put "Kokopelli" in the subject line. Write down where in the city you think the statue should be placed and a brief description why.

The IPCC model simulation archive
In the lead up to the 4th Assessment Report, all the main climate modelling groups (17 of them at last count) made a series of coordinated simulations for the 20th Century and various scenarios for the future. All of this output is publicly available in the PCMDI IPCC AR4 archive (now officially called the CMIP3 archive, in recognition of the two previous, though less comprehensive, collections). We've mentioned this archive before in passing, but we've never really discussed what it is, how it came to be, how it is being used and how it is (or should be) radically transforming the comparisons of model output and observational data.
First off, it's important to note that this effort was not organised by IPCC itself. Instead, it was coordinated by the Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM), an unpaid committee that is part of an alphabet soup of committees, nominally run by the WMO, that try to coordinate all aspects of climate-related research. In the lead up to AR4, WGCM took up the task of deciding what the key experiments would be, what would be requested from the modelling groups and how the data archive would be organised. This was highly non-trivial, and adjustments to the data requirements were still being made right up until the last minute. While this may seem arcane, or even boring, the point I'd like to leave is that just 'making data available' is the least of the problems in making data useful. There was a good summary of the process in Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society last month.
Previous efforts to coordinate model simulations had come up against two main barriers: getting the modelling groups to participate and making sure enough data was saved that useful work could be done.
Modelling groups tend to work in cycles. That is, there will be a period of a few years of development of a new model then a year or two of analysis and use of that model, until there is enough momentum and new ideas to upgrade the model and starting a new round of development. These cycles can be driven by purchasing policies for new computers, staff turnover, general enthusiasm, developmental delays etc. and until recently were unique to each modelling group. When new initiatives are announced (and they come roughly once every six months), the decision of the modelling group to participate depends on where they are in their cycle. If they are in the middle of the development phase, they will likely not want to use their last model (because the new one will almost certainly be better), but they might not be able to use the new one either because it just isn't ready. These phasing issues definitely impacted earlier attempts to produce model output archives.
What was different this time round is that the IPCC timetable has, after almost 20 years, managed to synchronise development cycles such that, with only a couple of notable exceptions, most groups were ready with their new models early in 2004 – which is when these simulations needed to start if the analysis was going to be available for the AR4 report being written in 2005/6. (It's interesting to compare this with nonlinear phase synchronisation in, for instance, fireflies).

Pam Golden remembers when even a simple trip to the grocery store was exhausting.
She couldn't walk through the aisles and had to drive a motorized scooter.
Pam Golden remembers when even a simple trip to the grocery store was exhausting.
She couldn't walk through the aisles and had to drive a motorized scooter.
Golden, 67, had significant heart problems. The left side of her heart was pumping at 5 percent of capacity.
"I was desperate for help that I couldn't find," she said.
In August 2011, Golden got the help she was looking for when doctors in Oklahoma City implanted her with what's known as a left ventricular assist device.
The device takes blood from a lower chamber of the heart and helps pump it to the body and vital organs, just as a healthy heart would, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
A small tube carries blood out of a patient's heart into a pump. Another tube carries blood from the pump to the patient's blood vessels, which deliver blood to the body.
Golden wears a vest that carries the power source and control unit. She cannot take baths or go swimming, as she has a port in her chest with a wire that runs into the unit.
Infection is one of the biggest risks. Golden has a hole in her side with a cord coming out. If the area became infected, she could face serious complications. Other risks include blood clots, bleeding and device malfunction.
Golden is aware of the risks but thinks the surgery was worth it.
About 10 years ago, she had cancer and underwent chemotherapy treatment. The chemotherapy damaged her heart.
She didn't know there was a problem until a few years ago when she went on vacation to Lake Tahoe. The elevation change made it more difficult to breathe, and Golden's problems became more evident.
Early one morning, Golden couldn't breathe. She was taken to the hospital and doctors thought she might have had a heart attack.
"I said, 'I haven't missed a day of work. How have I had a heart attack?'" Golden said.
All indicators pointed to a heart attack, and it was determined Golden would need open heart surgery. But when doctors opened her chest they found no clogged arteries or damage.
Finding an answer
Cardiologist Dr. Douglas Horstmanshof finally determined what was wrong.
Horstmanshof is the Heart Failure Institute program director at Integris Baptist Medical Center. Since March 2008, he and his colleagues have implanted about 180 left ventricular assist devices in patients from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Kansas.
Horstmanshof said at least 30 percent of the people who are offered the device by Integris doctors would die with their current hearts.
"And in Pam's case, she had reached the point where she probably had less than a 20 percent chance that she was going to survive the year with the heart she had," he said.

Our tribute to Ray Harryhausen
The great Ray Harryhausen died on Tuesday. The pioneering animator and special effects artist visited us at the Dryden Theatre nine years ago this month to receive the George Eastman Honorary Scholar award. The house was sold out for this very special event. Harryhausen was a major influence on virtually every science fiction and fantasy filmmaker of the last 60 years. It was his imagination that created some of the most memorable and beloved creatures in the history of cinema.
Beginning with THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD he conceived ideas, drew conceptual artwork, supervised all animation sequences and served as co-producer of all his films. As John Landis pointed out in a Dryden interview only one week earlier, this fact makes Harryhausen that rare non-director to earn the designation of an auteur. It's the realization of Harryhausen's vision that you're witnessing when you watch CLASH OF THE TITANS or JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS. Those are his films.
Harryhausen was generous when he visited the Dryden. He signed autographs, posed for pictures and answered questions. His sense of humor put the audience at ease when he said
"Some people call me a geek. I don't know what that means, but I guess it's a compliment."
He said that he will always be grateful to Kodak. When he got out of the Army he took with him 1000 feet of outdated Kodachrome stock that was going to be thrown out. He decided to try shooting some fairy tales and the color "still looks beautiful after all these years."
It was the beginning of a legendary career in the movies.

Note: The Sean Avery Banner
Update: 9:26AM: In the NY Post, Larry Brooks quotes Henrik Lundqvist as saying:
"Sean is one of a kind when he plays his game," said Lundqvist, when asked about the Peoples' Choice. "He brings a lot to the table.
"But management thinks this is the best team possible, so we have to go with that."
Original Post: At the beginning of the first period there was a banner hanging from MSG saying "Avery 16 Send Torts To The Whale."
Katie Strang at ESPN New York says that a season ticket holder named Don made the banner and may make a banner that reads:
The banner was taken down in the middle of the first period.

text: With some help from jail inmate volunteers, Helper City workers lay new sod on the outfield of the town's American Legion Ballfield. The diamond was closed for the past season because time had taken its toll on the grass and soil. Over the past months, the city has been able to regrade the surface, making the infield once again level with the outfield. Resodding now will enable the roots to take hold and allow the underlying soil to firm up over the winter. The next steps will be to install some new sprinklers, and spread a new layer of red dirt on the infield. The city expects that everything will be in fine shape for the first pitch of next year's baseball season.

Read: Where Dylan McIlrath and JT Miller Are
Following the end of the Connecticut Whale season, the Rangers called up players like Dylan McIlrath, JT Miller, Kris Newbury and Tim Erixon to act as a taxi squad for the Rangers in the playoffs.
At Blueshirts United Rangers assistant GM Jeff Gorton talked about why specifically, McIlrath and Miller were brought up:
You can't duplicate what our players are going through now and to have them have this experience and share it with them and be in the building and see how the players respond and hopefully grasp it for the future, it's hard to replace that kind of experience. They are two first round picks with big futures for us and it's good for us and them to share this opportunity.
Both players played with the Whale in the playoffs and Gorton said that it will benefit both in the long run, "they get the pro experience, take the newness away, they know the coaches, we know them and I think it helps them moving forward."
On McIlrath, Gorton said, "It's hard to jump into a team that is jumping into the playoffs. In Dylan's case, he is a physical guy and started pounding guys right away. He was very strong and steady in the second half and he looked pretty seamless moving to Hartford."
He adds, "Dylan is going to be a pro, train hard like he always as and come to camp and try to make our team."
On Miller, Gorton said that he played in the bottom six for the Whale and "JT will try to train all summer and try to make the NHL. I think he knows that we have a staff that likes young players. We like having all of our players go into the summer thinking they should be in the NHL."

Viburnum are a diverse group of shrubs used widely in the garden or in foundation plantings. They offer a range of foliage colors, flower shapes, and fruits that are especially desired by birds.
Prune after blooms have faded to shape. Minimal pruning needed.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Thompson Boulevard resident Deborah A. Cavallario is not alone in wanting to stop roommates from moving into a residential neighborhood and living in a single-family house.
Mrs. Cavallario gathered 80 signatures on a petition asking the Watertown City Council to prevent what has occurred in her neighborhood from continuing throughout the city. She brought up the issue last month at a city Planning Board meeting after learning that her neighbor Travis W. Hartman allowed three friends to move in with him in the house at 257 Thompson Blvd. that he purchased last February.
The petition requests that unrelated people not be allowed to live in a single-family house in a district zoned Residential A. Mrs. Cavallario contends that only a family should be allowed to live in a house in a Residential A zone.
In response, the city Planning Board this month recommended changing the code to crack down on unrelated people living together.
But the situation raises two questions: What makes up a family? And do homeowners have the right to say who lives in their homes? Opponents also have questioned how the change will be enforced.
To distinguish it from a club, fraternity or boarding house, a family consists of any number of individuals living together as a single-housekeeping unit, as long as they do not include more than four people who are not blood relatives, according to current city code.
Council members will decide on a resolution eliminating a single sentence from the city code pertaining to a reference allowing no more than four transient roomers to live in a house in a residential district.
Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith said Mr. Hartman and his roommates would be grandfathered in, so they wont have to move if the resolution passes.
It will stop it in the future, he said.
Mr. Hartman, who could not be reached Thursday, said recently that his fianc�e and a couple of his friends moved in with him. They are not tenants; they share only in the grocery bill, he said.
I dont want them to move out, Mrs. Cavallario said Thursday. They are not a problem, and they are a problem. I just dont want the concept of it happening in a Residence A. I dont think it should happen in the future.
Mrs. Cavallario said that as she went door to door, all but two people she talked to signed the petition. The 80 others agreed that Residential A districts should remain single-family homes, she said.
The matter will be discussed at a public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 4. The council could vote on the change in city code that night.

Template:Royalty infobox Araphor (T.A. 1391 - 1589, died aged 198) was the ninth king of Arthedain, succeeding his father, Arveleg I, upon his death in 1409.
Araphor was only eighteen years old when he came to the throne of Arthedain because his father was killed in battle in the defence of Amon Sûl. Although young, Araphor was valiant and he avenged his father by repelling the enemy from Fornost and the North Downs with the aid of Círdan of Lindon. The remnant faithful of the Dúnedain in Cardolan also helped repel the enemy from the Tyrn Gorthad, or took refuge in the forest behind.
It was during the wars with Angmar, and the reign of Araphor, that the Stoors living in the Angle (between the rivers Hoarwell and Loudwater) continued to move west and south out of Rhudaur out of dread. Some of the Stoors went back over the Misty Mountains to dwell beside the Gladden become the fisherfolk Sméagol and Déagol descended from.
Also during Araphor's rule, there were many problems in Gondor including the Kin-strife, the burning of Osgiliath (and the loss of its palantír), and wars with the people of Harad and Umbar.
Araphor ruled for 180 years - the second-longest ruler of the Northern Line (after Valandil) - and was succeeded by his son, Argeleb II, upon his death in 1589.
Araphor's name is Sindarin for "Royal Fist" from ar meaning "royal", and paur meaning "fist" (compare with Celebrimbor). This could be a reference to Araphor's valiance.

LPGA star Betty Jameson died three years ago today. We look back on the trail she blazed for women in golf. Originally published May 2009 on Obit-Mag.com.
Betty Jameson was first star of women's golf. In 1950, she was among 13 women to start the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Her straight arrow shooting and statuesque frame propelled her to the top of the field.
In this June 1947, file photo, Betty Jameson displays a practice swing prior to the third round play in the Women's U.S. Open Golf Tournament at Starmount Forest Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. Jameson won the 72-hole tourney with a 295 total. Jameson, one of the 13 founding members of the LPGA Tour in 1950, died Saturday. She was 89. (AP Photo, File)
While the LPGA professional tour currently has 30 tournaments with prize money well over $50 million, the early days of the tour were far more modest. Driving in caravan from course to course, the 13 original members led a vagabond and rigorous existence, suffering the pangs of the road not for fortune (or fame really) but for love of the game.
Jameson learned that love early in her life. She rented clubs and paid green fees at a public course outside of Dallas at age 11. Surging quickly, she won the Southern Women's Amateur title at 15.
She won 10 tournaments and over $91,000 in prize money during her professional career and became one of the first faces of women's pro golf. She was inducted into the Women's Golf Hall of Fame in 1951 and the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame in 1967.
After her playing days were over and during her latter years, Jameson faced financial hardship. The Palm Beach Post reported in their obituary that
"For years, Jameson shared a home in Delray Beach with another golfer, Mary Lena Faulk, but it wasn't until after Faulk lost her fight with cancer in 1995 that Jameson learned Faulk never got around to leaving the house to Jameson in her will.
Then, Sports Illustrated and other publications reported on how this Hall of Famer was on the brink of homelessness, surviving on a Social Security check of $261 a month."
On the 50th anniversary of the LPGA, Jameson was named one of the 50 best women's golfers ever. The tour also allocated a $10,000 honorarium to the 13 founders of the league.
Jameson took on the hardships of her later life with the same determination that she showed on the course, displaying an indefatigable and independent spirit.
Today's stars of the LPGA owe a great deal to Betty Jameson, a pioneering golfer.

Tessive, a local company, hosted an open house Friday afternoon.
The open house featured the Tessive Time Filter, which will bepresented at the Cine Gear Expo June 3 at the Studios at Paramount in Los
The filter, according to a press release, corrects a phenomenon known as temporal aliasing in a motion picture. Temporal aliasing causes objects to appear to jump or appear at a location instead of giving the impression of smoothly moving towards them.
Temporal aliasing also causes substantial image distortion in any motion picture sequence.
"It's been a problem with cameras for a century, and it's pretty well been accepted that wagon wheels were just going to go backwards in movies," said Tony Davis, CEO of Tessive. "We took some math from other fields and simply applied it to movie cameras. It's a nice bit of applied math, and it just makes the pictures look better."
The Time Filter attaches to a professional movie camera and a control box synchronizes the active filter with the camera's acquisition.

The Vancouver Canucks have waived 40-year old veteran defenseman Mathieu Schneider today in what could be his last stop in the NHL. Over the summer, Schneider signed a one-year deal worth $1.55 million after bouncing around between stops in Atlanta, Montreal, Anaheim, and Detroit in the past several seasons.
In 17 games this season, Schneider has two goals and three assists. At the end of September, Schneider underwent shoulder surgery that sidelined him for 10 games. This past week, Schneider took an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons. Many felt it was time spent contemplating retirement.
Schneider, a New York City native, played for the Rangers from 1998 - 2000 playing in 155 games scoring 20 goals and 44 assists. Since leaving, he has made it no secret that he would like to return to New York at some point in his career.
The Rangers are seeking a veteran presence defensively and this may be a viable option, though his $1.55 million is a little bit to bear. He still has the ability to play in limited minutes and on the power play and would definitely be a good influence on Mike Del Zotto and Matt Gilroy.
The placement of Schneider on waivers is a little curious from a Rangers perspective in terms of timing. With Vinny Prospal out 2 - 3 weeks, he can be placed on injured reserved and his salary doesn't count against the cap. For the time being, the team has announced that nobody will be summoned from Hartford, so no more salaries will be taken on.
Theoretically, the team could take on Schneider's pro-rated salary without any additional transactions.
Upon Prospal's return, to accomodate Schneider on the salary cap, the Rangers would have to demote or waive either Erik Christensen, Aaron Voros, or Donald Brashear.
The waiver expires tomorrow at noon where, if he goes unclaimed, he may be sent to the AHL.

Price City was awarded more than $3 million in grants and loans from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board to develop new water wells and plan other infrastructure improvements.
The city intends to drill two wells about 2,000 feet deep down in the Emma Park area about 18 miles north of town. The water will supplement the city's culinary water supply.
Financing for this project comes as a $1,442,300 grant and a zero-interest, 20-year loan of $1,443,000.
Price has rights to tap into the aquifer beneath Emma Park to draw up to 5,000 acre-feet per year, according to City Engineer Gary Sonntag.
Drilling could begin next year, but that is contingent on completing all the preliminary engineering and permitting involved. Mr. Sonntag explained that the city will have to get access to the well sites and then confirm the quality of the water.
The short-term means of getting the water to city faucets would probably be spilling the outflow down stream in Sulfur Canyon, which flows into the Price River above the city's diversion. Then it would go through the Price Canyon treatment plant to be brought up to culinary standards. A long-range plan would involve construction of a pipeline through Sulfur Canyon to intersect with the city's existing transmission line parallel to U.S. 6.
The city also received a grant of $175,000 for studies of streets, water system and parks. Mr. Sonntag said Price wants to inventory and assess those aspects of its infrastructure for its master plan.

William Sederburg, commissioner of higher education, has enlisted the expertise of Cory L. Duckworth, vice president of student affairs at Utah Valley University (UVU), to oversee the transition of the College of Eastern Utah (CEU) in becoming a comprehensive regional college of UtahState University (USU) next year.
At its July 17 meeting, the Utah Board of Regents he ruling body for Utah's public higher education system, endorsed a proposal to establish a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that outlines the detailed requirements for establishing CEU as a comprehensive regional college in southeastern Utah.
"Having worked closely with Cory, I am confident he has the right skills and demeanor to lead thediscussions as USU and CEU work through the many details of this transition," Sederburg said. "When I served as president at Ferris State University in Michigan, we faced a similar situation when Kendall College of Art and Design merged with our institution. Cory played a major role in working out the thorny merger issues."
The idea of a merger with Utah State has area residents concerned about how the change will affect the county, the economy, the job situation and certainly the students who will be going to the school in the future. Many on campus are nervous about their jobs and future. But for many that is nothing new since the looming changes have been bantered about for over two years.
Sederburg says Duckworth's expertise will be key in helping the schools to come together more smoothly.
"He understands the important business drivers behind this transition," Sederburg continued. "He reflects the Board's commitment to not only devise an efficient operational model, but also build upon the higher education services in southwestern Utah."
Duckworth will maintain his duties at UVU while serving as transition director. He has served as the Vice President of Student Affairs at UVU since 2003. He has also held several executive positions at Ferris State University (Michigan), St. Cloud State University (Minnesota), Minot State University (North Dakota), and Southern Utah University in Cedar City.
Brad King, presently the vice president of institutional development at CEU says he knows Duckworth and feels he was a good choice for the job.
"I have known his since he was at SUU and I quite like him," said King on Friday afternoon. "He is a very straight shooter and a good guy."
King said that the selection of Duckworth to help with the transition will help to bring a good outcome to the process.
About two weeks ago six adminstrators from each campus got together and decided to break the merging parts into six to seven areas on which they would have to deal. Now they will be having a couple of administrators from each school work on those areas together to help with working out the combination details.
King said that Duckworth will be in Price at least once a week, meeting with groups and working on plans until the details are worked out. Based on what was said during presentations this summer by the board of regents at CEU, those details pretty much have to be wrapped up before the Utah State legislature begins its regular session in January. At that point the regents will present the plan to merge the two schools to the lawmakers and it will be up to them to make a final decision on the move.
Duckworth earned a juris doctorate and master's degree in political science from the University of Utah. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science and psychology from Utah State University.

Naval Academy Midshipmen Create "Next Meal" iPhone App
Posted on: January 16, 2014 12:00 EST by Midshipman 1st Class Colleen Randolph
By Midshipman 1st Class Colleen Randolph
When Midshipman 1st Class Michael Madrid, of Vancouver, Wash., emerged hungry from his 4th-period class during youngster year, an idea struck him. Wouldn't it be great he thought, if there was a way to have all King Hall meal information at our fingertips to give us a heads up about what we are about to eat?
Fast forward two and a half years: Madrid's idea has become reality in the form of a newly developed i-Phone application named "Next Meal."
Madrid, an aeronautical engineering, lacked the knowledge of programming code to develop his idea, but he teamed up with fellow 3rd Company mate Midshipman 3rd Class Anson Liu of Fremont, Calif. Liu, who became interested in programing in high school, is a computer science major here at the academy.
"It became my Thanksgiving project and was developed over a period of two weeks," said Liu.
The midshipmen worked with the Midshipmen Food Services Department, who is always looking for ways to improve their already impressive service of more than 4,000 midshipmen at a time.
"They were incredibly supportive," said Madrid.
The two mids initially tested the app on a beta group of six midshipmen during finals week in December, a key time for midshipmen on the run to know what was for dinner.
When ready, Madrid put together a team of "marketers" to help develop a commercial, take photos and even design a sleek opening graphic, which of course includes an anchor in honor of the academy.
The response was phenomenal.
"Within the first 12 hours we had more than 880 users, more than 1,000 users in the first 24 hours," said Liu, and the numbers continue to grow.
The app is available for free in the iTunes store. Following its release, several midshipmen approached Madrid and his team with interest in developing and Android app as well.
Additionally, Madrid and Liu are planning future updates, including a rating system for mids to be used by the Food Service Department and nutritional information so midshipmen can make smart and healthy decisions when they dine in King Hall.
Both Madrid and Liu stated their interest in maintaining the App and passing it on to future groups of midshipmen after graduation.
"We want to ensure the longevity and use of the application," said Madrid.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
While most Carbon Country residents are well aware of the dangers posed by carbon monoxide in the home, fewer know of the fatal dangers posed by radon.
A national Environmental Protection Agency press release noted recently that breathing indoor radon causes nearly one hundred times more deaths each year than carbon monoxide. The gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the nation and some 20,000 people will die this year due to breathing too much radon without even knowing it.
Radon is an invisible radioactive gas that seeps into homes undetected through foundation cracks and can reach harmful levels if trapped indoors. It travels up from underground sources of uranium in the earths crust and the EPA estimates that one in 15 homes will have a radon level considered high by the agency.
Utah has jumped on the prevention bandwagon as Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. also declared Jan. 2009 as "Utah Radon Action" month.
The gas has been found in every type of home and in every state in the union. Analysts at CNN recommend that individuals find and purchase radon test kits, which are available at most hardware stores and typically cost less than $20.
"In our national drive to reduce greenhouse gases by making our homes greener, we shouldn't forget that they can't truly be green without being a safe place for people to live," said Marcus Peacock, the EPA's deputy administrator. "It's remarkably easy to protect our loved ones by testing for radon and building new homes with radon-resistant features that allow everyone to breathe freely and safely."
Utah has even enacted its own site dedicated to the safe detection of radon.
According to radon.utah.gov, "you can't see radon and you can't smell or taste it but it may be a problem in your home."
Testing is the only way to know if a residence is at risk for high radon levels. The EPA along with the surgeon general recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon. The EPA also recommends testing in schools.
Millions of American homes have already tested radon free, indicated the EPA.
If a problem with the gas arises, however, radon reduction systems work and are not too costly. Some systems can reduce levels in the home by up to 99 percent.
"Even high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels," states the site.
For people looking at building homes, radon resistant construction techniques can be effective in preventing radon entry. When installed properly and completely, the simple and inexpensive techniques can help reduce indoor radon in homes. In addition, installing the devices at the time of construction makes it easier and less expensive to reduce radon further if these passive techniques don't reduce the levels as much as needed.
While radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Sometimes radon enters the home though well water. In a small number of homes, the building materials can give off the gas as well. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves.
Radon can enter ones home by any of the following techniques:
â¢Cracks in solid floors.
â¢Construction joints.
â¢Cracks in walls.
â¢Gaps in suspended floors.
â¢Gaps around service pipes.
â¢Cavities inside walls.
â¢The water supply.
Radon preventative actions have saved an estimated 6,000 lives in the last 20 years. The EPA's goal is to double that number to 12,000 live saved in the next five years. All Utahns can contribute to saving someone's life by testing and reducing high levels in existing homes or testing and building radon-resistant new homes.

California Cabernet Sauvignons
"The 2012 Dyer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the more facinating, nuanced wines of the vintage... a firm, dark Cabernet Sauvignon full of complexity."
Antonio Galloni
Vinous 94pts
At Dyer Straits Wine Co., we have a singular focus. For two decades, we have been working the vineyard and making the wine from our 2.3 acre vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot- the wine is literally "made in the vineyard". With an ideal location in Napa Valley's Diamond Mountain District, we have the opportunity to make a wine of distinction and character that caters to the taste of wine lovers.
Located in Cabernet Country, our vines send down roots deep into volcanic soils producing wines known for their concentration, intensity, and ageability. We handcraft the wine following long established, classical methods and produce less than 300 cases a year.
We planted Dyer vineyard in 1993 on a site where volcanic gravel mingles with large volcanic boulders that slid from the ridge above thousands of years ago. The 2.3 acres of vines are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, 78% and two Bordeaux blending varieties; Cabernet Franc, 16% and Petit Verdot, 6% - a mix which we have refined over the years. Our farming methods are sustainable, we use only organic sprays to prevent mildew, and weed whackers instead of herbicide- we live here after all.
Cabernet Sauvignon from Dyer Vineyard is available for purchase on a seasonal basis. To stay updated on availability and vineyard news, please like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!

One night we decided to try off my neighbors dock and fortunately this time I had steel cable rigged with 2 hooks. About 20 minutes after casting the bait out we got a hit. I was surprised but I grabbed the rod and set the hook hoping to finally hook up. The shark was on so I attempted to fight him which did not work. He just kept peeling out line even with full drag set on a 2 speed TLD 30. I left my friend will with the rod and ran two houses down to get my boat so we could maybe have a chance. By the time I picked will up there were only a few wraps of line left so will handed me the rod and I just told him to drive!I began to fight the shark which was quite exciting. after a little over an hour he finally surfaced and our prediction was unfortunately correct that it was a bull shark. We were by no means prepared to actually land a shark so we had no way of cutting the line. We brought it back to the dock with a lasso on its tail and it was gone by then sadly. I had no intention of ever killing the shark and was sad to see it die. Many people doubted there were bull sharks in the St. Lucie let alone ones as big as an adult but I guess this changes things."
