Greening Your Meetings and Conferences: A Guide For Federal Purchasers
Key Policy, Guidance Documents
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing, or EPP, seeks the overall best value, taking into account price competitiveness, availability, regulatory requirements, performance, and environmental impact. Because purchasers typically have clear sources of information on procurement and regulatory requirements and well-established methods for evaluating price and performance, the US EPA has developed these purchasing guides to help government purchasers consider environmental factors in purchasing decisions. EPA realizes that there are not universal answers for all scenarios and that purchasers must take into account local conditions when weighing the various attributes of a particular product. Please note that EPA is not endorsing any of the products, services, or organizations described in the guides, and has not verified information provided by these organizations. Read more information about the EPP Program's history, tools, and resources.

Even though government workers throughout the country are increasingly connected via cell phones, e-mail, handheld electronic devices, and other technological advances, face to face meetings and conferences are often still necessary. Unfortunately, meetings require the use of large amounts of resources and can have big impacts on the environment. With careful planning, however, organizers can incorporate "green" aspects into their meetings and conferences.
The purpose of the guide is to provide practical information about environmental aspects of meeting planning and management that will assist federal purchasers in making purchasing decisions. The guide is not a risk assessment document nor is it intended to substitute for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), labels, or similar documents that provide information on proper storage, handling, use, and disposal. More comprehensive information on meetings is available from a variety of sources, a number of which are listed in the "Resources" section of the guide.
Why Green Your Meetings?
Bringing people together for meetings, often for multiple days at a time, can create a "host" of environmental impacts—from the smog and greenhouse gas emissions associated with air and ground travel to the paper, plastic, and food waste associated with feeding attendees.
- Did you know that in Fiscal Year 2000, the federal government spent more than $9 billion on travel for mission-related business around the world?
- Did you know that 93,000 federal employees are traveling on any given business day to 8,000 locations across the country?
- Did you know that federal travelers use 24 million room nights of hotel space in the United States annually?
- Did you know that an average hotel purchases more products in a week than 100 families purchase in an entire year?
Key Sources of Waste and Pollution
The following activities associated with meetings and conferences are major sources of waste and pollution.
- Marketing of Event and Registration—Paper waste associated with direct mailings among organizers, speakers, attendees, and venues.
- Travel to the Event—Greenhouse gases and other pollutants released via planes, trains, buses, and automobiles.
- Hotel Stays—Water usage associated with laundering; indoor air quality issues associated with building materials and cleaning products; paper, plastic, and material waste associated with single-use toiletries.
- Food Services—Waste from disposable coffee cups, plates, napkins, and plastic-ware; disposal of extra food; non-sustainable farming practices.
- Exhibition Halls—Landfill disposal of carpet; greenhouse gas emissions from shipping; waste from excess information materials and giveaways.
- Local Transportation—Greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants released from taxis or rental cars.
Federal EPP Authority and Mandate
Spending approximately $230 billion annually on a large quantity and wide variety of products and services, the federal government leaves a large environmental "footprint." However, by purchasing environmentally preferable products and services, the federal government can wield its spending power to increase national demand for greener products as well as to help meet environmental goals through markets rather than mandates. In 1995, in response to Executive Order 12873, "Federal Acquisition, Recycling, and Waste Prevention (PDF)" (9 pp, 32Kb, About PDF), EPA established the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program to encourage and assist Executive agencies in the purchase of environmentally preferable products and services. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which establishes uniform procedures and policies for federal acquisition, was amended on August 22, 1997 to support federal procurement of "green" products and services. And, most recently, in In 1998, Executive Order (E.O.) 13101, entitled "Greening the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition" directed Executive agencies to "consider . . . a broad range of factors including: elimination of virgin material requirements; use of biobased products; use of recovered materials; reuse of product; life cycle cost; recyclability; use of environmentally preferable products; waste prevention (including toxicity reduction or elimination); and ultimate disposal" when making purchasing decisions and to "modify their procurement programs as appropriate." Finally, in January, 2007, Executive Order 13423, entitled "Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management", directed Executive agencies to "require in agency acquisitions of goods and services (i) use of sustainable environmental practices, including acquisitions of biobased, environmentally preferable, energy-efficient, water-efficient, and recycled-content products, and (ii) use of paper of at least 10 percent post-consumer fiber content."
Similarly, the Biomass Research and Development Act of 2000 (page 72 of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000, P.L.106-224 (PDF) (100 pp, 339KB, About PDF)), Section 9002 of the 2002 Farm Bill (also known as the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002), and Executive Order 13134 on "Developing and Promoting Biobased Products and Bioenergy" (PDF) (6 pp, 71KB, About PDF), have emphasized the potential importance of biobased products to national economic and environmental interests. Together these authorities encourage a strong federal role in the development and early adoption of biobased products and recognize the role of procurement as part of an overall federal policy on biobased products.
Five Guiding Principles
To help government purchasers incorporate environmental considerations into purchasing decisions, EPA developed five guiding principles. The guiding principles provide a framework which purchasers can use to make environmentally preferable purchases. The five principles are:
- Include environmental factors as well as traditional considerations of price and performance as part of the normal purchasing process.
- Emphasize pollution prevention early in the purchasing process.
- Examine multiple environmental attributes throughout a product's or service's life cycle.
- Compare relative environmental impacts when selecting products and services.
- Collect and base purchasing decisions on accurate and meaningful information about environmental performance.

What Are Green Meetings?
The Oceans Blue Foundation (an environmental charitable organization created in 1996 to help conserve coastal environments through environmentally responsible tourism) defines green meetings as "an assembly or gathering of people, for the purpose of the exchange of information, where, through careful planning, negative impact on the environment is minimized." In the early 1990s, a green meeting may have meant brochures were printed on recycled-content paper or that soda cans were collected for recycling. The costs associated with even these simple steps were often prohibitive for most meeting planners and meeting service suppliers. Today, however, the opportunities to green meetings and events are almost limitless-often offering ways to save money and increase efficiency in the process.
What Can You Do?
While there is an ever-increasing number of green meeting "pioneers" in the United States, many meeting planners are still having difficulty finding green services for their events. This is why it is important to remember that asking for green is key! Asking is the first step in showing there is a demand for reduced environmental impacts associated with a meeting. When enough meeting planners ask for reusable mugs, non-toxic cleaning services, or energy-efficient lighting, for example, then hotels, convention centers, and other meeting service providers will begin to respond. If you are not a meeting planner, but coordinate with or direct a contractor to plan meetings for you, EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics provides green meeting sample contract language that you can use when buying meeting planning support services. The sample language is available from the Database of Environmental Information on the EPP Program's Web site.
Abbreviated List
The following lists of green opportunities can assist you in reducing meeting-related environmental impacts. The first list condenses the array of green opportunities into a handful of thought-provoking questions a meeting planner may consider. The second list lays out specific steps that have proven to prevent pollution and waste associated with meetings and conferences. Since a meeting planner may be restricted by time, money, and/or level of support for greening, choose the strategy that works best for your situation.
Have you sought a location...
...that, on average, minimizes the distance the attendees have to travel?
...where the facilities needed for your meeting are all accessible to each other, the airport, and local attractions by mass transportation options?
Accommodations and/or Meeting Facilities
Does the hotel and/or meeting facility you are considering...
...have a formal environmental policy and action plan that they will share with you?
...have an assigned person, group, or committee directly responsible for environmental initiatives?
Does the transportation service provider you are considering...
...offer a carbon emission offsetting program? Climate Neutral products or services significantly reduce and offset the greenhouse gases generated at any, some or all of the stages of their life-cycle on a cradle-to-cradle basis: the sourcing of their materials, their manufacturing or production, their distribution, use, and ultimate end-of-life disposition.
...offer hybrid/alternative fuel/highly efficient vehicles?
Food & Beverage
Does the food and beverage service provider you are considering...
...offer the use of reusable linens, flatware, glassware, etc.?
...offer recycled-content and/or recyclable disposable serviceware if reusable items are not available?
...donate surplus food to local shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, etc.?
Promotion/Marketing/Registration and Exhibitions
Have you maximized opportunities to...
...use electronic communication over paper as often as possible?
...reduce, reuse, recycle, and purchase recycled-content/energy-efficient/environmentally preferable products?
Expanded List
- Select locations that, on average, minimize the distance the attendees have to travel.
- Select locations where the facilities needed for your meeting are all accessible to each other, the airport, and local attractions by mass transportation options.
- Get a sense of the availability of green services in cities under consideration. Some cities or regions of the country are further along in their awareness and protection of the environment and will make it easier for you to green your meeting.
- Select accommodations that allow for efficient transportation routes (walking paths, bicycle paths, public transportation).
- Choose a hotel that has energy and water conservation programs, including: automatic controls for the HVAC system; fluorescent lighting and automatic lighting controls; and low-flow taps, showerheads, and toilets.
- Make certain that there are recycling and waste minimization programs in place. Specifically, find out what items are recycled. Are recycling bins placed in all guestrooms?
- Donate used amenities (soap, bottles, etc.) to charitable organizations or recycle them.
- Give hotel guests the option to reuse towels and sheets.
- Utilize paperless check-in, checkout, and billing procedures to minimize use of paper.
- Locate meetings and accommodations within walking distance of each other and area restaurants and attractions, so excessive car travel is minimized.
- Provide shuttle services between meetings, accommodations, and restaurants to minimize car and taxi trips if walking isn't feasible.
Food & Beverage
- Consider cloth instead of paper napkins, and reusable plates, cups, and silverware.
- If disposable rather than reusable serviceware is used, look for recycled-content and/or recyclable materials.
- Serve sugar, creamers, and condiments in reusable dishes rather than packets.
- Consider providing drinking water in pitchers or large reusable containers instead of small plastic bottles.
- Donate surplus food when possible to local shelters and food banks.
Meeting Facilities
- Look for facilities that invite meeting attendees to share in energy conservation and waste reduction efforts-for example, by reducing paper towels, supporting use of soap dispensers versus individual soaps, avoiding waste, and participating in recycling programs.
- Look for meeting rooms with recycling bins, posted with a list of all items that can be recycled.
- Put recycling containers in visible locations at entrances to halls and in the pre-function area. Let attendees know that recycling containers will be available. Place visible signage instructing delegates as to what is and is not recyclable. Put additional containers in hotel lobbies near checkout areas.
- Use signage that is reusable whenever possible.
- Reduce paper use by putting floor plans and exhibitor service kit items on your Web site when practical (and/or the decorator's Web site).
- Work with the shipping firm and decorator to minimize packing materials and to use recyclable and other environmentally preferable shipping and packing materials.
- Incorporate community service into the exhibition. Ask exhibitors to donate leftover flowers, giveaways such as trinkets, pencils, or T-shirts, or other booth decorations or items that would normally be thrown away to local shelters, hospitals, or schools. Set up areas for exhibitors to drop off reusable items at the end of the show.
- Discourage exhibitors from bringing large quantities of material to the show, which often end up in the trash because exhibitors don't want to ship unused conference materials back at the end of the show. Encourage exhibitors to bring small quantities and then mail (or e-mail) materials to clients from their offices after the show or refer clients to their Web site. Also, useful environmentally responsible gifts are preferable to items that will be discarded at the end of the show.
General Office Practices and Communications
- Reduce paper by allowing attendees to register online. Confirm registration by e-mail when possible.
- Recycle paper inserts and plastic badges.
- Use double-sided copies.
- Print marketing and registration materials (whenever possible) on recycled paper using soy-based ink.
- Promote electronic distribution instead of printed handouts to reduce paper usage.
- Encourage use of electronic presentations and distributing disk handouts to eliminate paper waste.
- Do not use mailing lists that have not been maintained. A mailing list more than 2 years old is usually unreliable.
- Provide information about the meeting and destination to potential attendees and allow them to register via e-mail on-line.
- Set up a system for making photocopies on demand instead of over-printing materials.
- Post minutes or other handouts on the Internet, or circulate them electronically after the meeting.
EPA's Purchasing Tool SuiteEPA/OPPT's EPP Program has developed the following Web-based tools to help purchasers consider the environment, along with price and performance, when buying a product or service.
Database of Environmental Information for Products and Services
A searchable database of product-specific information (e.g., environmental standards and guidelines or contract language) developed by government programs, both domestic and international, as well as third parties.
Tips for Buying Green with the Government Credit Card
This web page provides tips to help government credit card holders make greener choices when buying products, such as electronics.
EPP's Product and Services - Meetings and Conferences
EPA's Green Conference Initiative
EPA/OPPT developed the Green Conference Initiative to provide meeting planners and suppliers of meeting services with easy access to green options and opportunities for meeting planning. The goal of this initiative is to develop a "one-stop shop" at which meeting planning and service providers can gather information on the topic of green meetings. The information is meant to help planners request-and suppliers provide-green options for meeting planning. The Web site includes a checklist of opportunities that, when applied, minimize the environmental impacts of holding meetings; contract provisions for obtaining greener meeting planning/support services; and links to information on other related initiatives.
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is one of the largest luxury hotel companies in North America and has developed one of the most comprehensive environmental programs in the North American hotel industry. Greening initiatives include, but are not limited to, transportation alternatives, environmentally friendly meals and meeting facilities, and incorporating environmental educational opportunities for meeting attendees.
Green Meeting Industry Council
The Green Meeting Industry Council was formed on December 10, 2003 to improve meeting management practices by promoting environmentally responsible strategies through the collaborative efforts of the hospitality industry, corporations, government, and community organizations. The GMIC is committed to supporting economic, environmental, and community objectives as they relate to the meeting industry.
Green Seal - Environmental Standard for Lodging Properties, GS-33
Green Seal is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the environment by promoting the manufacture and sale of environmentally responsible consumer products. Green Seal sets voluntary environmental standards and awards a Green Seal of Approval to products that Green Seal evaluates as causing less harm to the environment than other similar products. Green Seal has partnered with the lodging industry, the nation's second-largest employer, to support ecotourism. Its campaign to educate hotels and motels focuses on how environmental efforts improve the bottom line and benefit the environment. Green Seal received wide input from the lodging industry on its Environmental Standard for Lodging Properties. Green Seal also has certified lodging properties in a number of states and Washington, D.C. Government employees are encouraged to stay in certified properties when they travel on official business, and government meetings are encouraged to use these facilities.
The Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies (CERES) Green Hotel Initiative
The Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies (CERES) is a nonprofit coalition of investors, public pension funds, foundations, religious and public interest groups, and labor unions working in partnership with companies toward the common goal of corporate environmental responsibility worldwide. CERES convened a network of environmental organizations, governmental entities, and businesses that advocate corporate responsibility to initiate a collaborative project to promote environmentally friendly hotels. The initiative will encourage corporate and government purchasers to ask for greener hotels as part of their business travel, creating an incentive for more hotels to "go green."
Hotel Association of Canada - Green Key Ecommodation Rating Program
Founded in 1913, the Hotel Association of Canada (HAC) is the national organization representing the accommodation industry in Canada. Their objective is to assist both national and international members as they enhance their competitiveness and improve their bottom line. HAC has developed and maintained the Green Key Ecommodation Rating Program for the Canadian hotel industry. The program involves a graduated rating system designed to recognize hotels, motels, and resorts committed to improving their environmental performance. The program recognizes a hotel's achievements through the award of one to five Green keys; one key is given for a basic commitment to environmental principles, and two through five keys are awarded for specific results achieved.
NW Pollution Prevention Resource Center - Hospitality Sector
The Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention Resource Center (PPRC) has compiled an information resource listing for the hospitality sector, including contacts.
Convention Industry Council's Green Meetings Task Force
In 2003, this Task Force was charged with creating minimum best practices for event organizers and suppliers to use as guidelines for implementing policies of sustainability. The task force was composed of individuals from the EPA, the Ocean's Blue Foundation, the Society of Incentive Travel Executive's Green Meeting Group, the World Travel Organization, hotels, convention and visitor's bureaus, convention centers, and meeting planning organizations. The Task Force report is available on the Convention Industry Council web site.
The Green Hotels in the Green Mountain State Program
This program provides assistance to innkeepers desiring to use sound environmental management practices to reduce their impact on the environment, improve their bottom line, and satisfy customer demand for environmentally conscious lodging.

Marco Iannetta at the Drumchannel Studios
Our Italian Meinl Artist Marco Iannetta has recently been invited to record at the Drumchannel studios. This is the set-up he was using. As you can see, there is no bassdrum. Instead of that he is using his left hand on that flat drum to imitate that sound. While keeping the groove with his hands, Marco plays all kinds of ostinato patterns with his feet on top of if. The videos will be out on drumchannel soon and I'm sure they'll be great. Marco is one of the most innovative drummers of our time. He kicks technical drumming up a notch.

If you do forget to remove the service. Especially when uninstalling and installing a fresh copy.
Goto regedit in:
Find mysql and delete. Reboot to take effect in services manager.

"sc delete mysql" will delete the service and update the list without having to reboot the machine.
Note that the "sc" command was introduced in Windows XP.

This may seem obvious, but:
Step 6 says to overwrite your existing MySQL install, but if
you do, you'll overwrite any security changes you may have made to the mysql database (most probably the user and db tables). So only overwrite them if you know you haven't made any changes to that database.

You do not need to uninstall the service
Simply change the my.ini file in C:\windows\my.ini
Then copy the new mysqld-nt.exe to the oldversion/bin/ folder.
Change the line basedir=C:/apache/mysql to
for example or whatever you called the new folder.
Leave the data folder path the same if you want
datadir=C:/apache/mysql/data or
datadir=C:/apache/newversion/data if you want a new mysql without any data in it.
That way if the new version makes new issues for you (errors) just change the my.ini path back to the old version's folder.
In simple terms there is no need to change your data folder and so you keep all the info and users data safe.
Updating the mysql_fix_privilege_tables is still the same problem for us though.

If during windows installation MySQL server refuses
to be connected to try to do the following:
1. Check that the MySQL server is running
->ControlPanel->Administrative Tools->Component Services->Services(local)
2. Use the client command without password:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql" -u root
By default MySQL installation creates the following privileges:
mysql> select user, host, password from user;
+------+-----------+----------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)
| user | host | password |
| root | localhost | |

I had some fun upgrading from mysql-4.1.15-win32 (mysql 4.1) to mysql-5.0.41-win32. I figured I would write down what I did to save people time. The permissions table thing is still tricky. I used the no-installer to get the version 5 mysql. Then I just swapped the installs as I had done in the past. when I relaunched mysql (mysql5/bin/mysqld-nt --console) I kept getting Error 1130 [HYO 000x] cannot logon locally errors. So this was the mysql permission tables upgrade problem. After attacking the upgrade from a few differnt angles I found the way that worked for me. This is detailed below.
The upgrade took me 15 minutes after I had my plan.
1. download mysql 5 no install.
2. unzip it.
3. export you mysql.db and mysql.user tables using whatever tool you use (make import of old users permissions and table rights)
so you get something like (I used EMS extract)...
use mysql;
INSERT INTO `db` (`Host`, `Db`, `User`, `Select_priv`, `Insert_priv`, `Update_priv`, `Delete_priv`, `Create_priv`, `Drop_priv`, `Grant_priv`, `References_priv`, `Index_priv`, `Alter_priv`, `Create_tmp_table_priv`, `Lock_tables_priv`) VALUES
next rec..
next rec
# Data for the `db` table (LIMIT 0,500)
INSERT INTO `user` (`Host`, `User`, `Password`, `Select_priv`, `Insert_priv`, `Update_priv`, `Delete_priv`, `Create_priv`, `Drop_priv`, `Reload_priv`, `Shutdown_priv`, `Process_priv`, `File_priv`, `Grant_priv`, `References_priv`, `Index_priv`, `Alter_priv`, `Show_db_priv`, `Super_priv`, `Create_tmp_table_priv`, `Lock_tables_priv`, `Execute_priv`, `Repl_slave_priv`, `Repl_client_priv`, `ssl_type`, `ssl_cipher`, `x509_issuer`, `x509_subject`, `max_questions`, `max_updates`, `max_connections`) VALUES
...next rec.....;
save as a text file somewhere.
4. open a command window and end the mysql service, if you run as service.
5. go to mysql install folder/bin and unregister whatever mysql daemon you are using
c:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt --remove
6. zip up all your old mysql (basedir and DataDir) for
backup and later use.
7. find all your old my.cnf and my.ini files that were left over from previous installs and put them in you backup folder with the other ziped folders so the new install can't see them.
8. place mysql 5's unzipped stuff where ever you want it to run from (mine is c:/mysql5.
9. just let iot use the mysql and test databases at first to get mysql5 running.
10. Set up your my.ini file for mysql 5 and just leave it in the mysql directory (none in %sysroot% any more I guess.
11. start mysql5 in console c:/mysql5/bin/mysqld-nt --console.
12. Try to log into the console with a blank root password (since this is a fresh install).
13. assuming you got this far, type "SHOW DATABASES;" in mysql. Should only be Mysql and Test.
14. Copy you old databases except of course the 4.1 mysql and 4.1 test dbs (if it is still there) to you c:/mysql5/data/ directory.
15. check in mysql console if they can be seen by running "Show Databases;" again.
16. Hopefully that worked, no import your old db and user permission from the sql file you made earlier.
in mysql console: SOURCE "c:/your-file-path.txt";
that should bring in your old user and password in the old format.
17. check if you import worked by selecting from users (use mysql; select * from user;)
18. I was fine at this point besides the old password format, so I ran the Mysql_upgrade.exe file that is mentioned in here a million times, but omly worked for me this way.
18. I ran mysql_upgrade from a batch file:
C:\mysql5\bin\mysql_upgrade.exe --datadir=c:/mysql5/data/ --basedir=c:/mysql5/ -u root
19. a whole bunch of output about bad table struct, 4.1 style passwords and duplicate columns. when it finsihed I ran it again, and only got the dup column warnings which can be ignored. Then I ran it again just for fun.
20. at this point all the db's are in the right structure, my logins all worked.
21. closed my console session running mysql, closed my console window mysql was running in (--mysqld-nt --console) and moved my data directory back to which it came (personal choice).
22. Checked my cofig file (in mysql base dir ...c:/mysql5/my.ini) using "c/mysql5/mysqld-nt --print-defaults" and they looked fine, changed my datadir="x:/path", and re-ran the --print-defaults.
22. I then reinstalled the msyql as a service with the my.ini file still only in my basedir (c:/mysql5/bin/mysqld-nt --install), and started mysql (net start mysql) or services gui.
23. Last thing, make the root user a password, easily crackable of course like a bad word (don't really do this, but do make a password).
Hope that saves somebody else some time.

If when you go to install again it can't start the service & it had asked you for the old root password, you need to delete the folder C:\ProgramData\MySQL
This took me 3 hours to discover, its BS that no one seems to have pointed out this fact.

I did unzipped 5.6.10 onto an older version 5.6.x on Windows.
my.ini did't overwrote and contained these lines:
password = something
From this point I lost _ALL_ access to MySQL:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I mean mysql.exe or mysql_upgrade.exe also didn't worked.
I figured out the problem was the password line in my.ini. I did commented out temporarily, ran mysql_upgrade.exe then I did uncommented then everything worked well.

Point 5 in this article implies that when upgrading from 5.1 to 5.5, we need to uninstall MySQL Server 5.1 first. That is, we cannot run installer for 5.5 and expect it to *upgrade* installed version 5.1 to 5.5.
To those who want to remove my comment, read the following first:
Please refer to
In section 188.8.131.52.6 of that article, please pay attention to the 2nd paragraph that I include here below:
Automatic upgrades are available only when upgrading between installations that have the *same major and minor version numbers*. For example, you can upgrade automatically from MySQL 5.1.5 to MySQL 5.1.6, but not from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.1.
As a matter of fact, I have MySQL 5.1.30 in a test computer. I run MySQL 5.5 setup WITHOUT previously uninstalling 5.1. Result: both versions are displayed in "Add/Remove Program" applet (and the new server is not using old data, but this is another topic)

By a vote of 81 to 12 United States Senate passed the Water Resources Development Act.
Already passed by the house, this legislation allows congressional authorization for important water projects throughout the nation, largely effecting drought riddled rural Utah.
"Much of Utah is in a persistent state of drought," said Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, who was a major contributor to the bills passage. "So we need all the assistance with water we can get. Projects like this are essential to rural areas."
The legislation provides nearly $61 million for water projects in rural Utah with $10.8 million going toward water-related infrastructure projects in smaller rural areas including Duchesne, Iron and Uintah counties.

Lisbon and Hammond recorded shutouts while Morristown secured a three goal margin win over Hermon-DeKalb 4-1 on Friday to stay one point back in Northern Athletic Conference West Division Boys Soccer race.
The Golden Knights (8-2-1, 7-1-1) remain tied for points with Division leader Harrisville (8-0-1, 7-0-1 NAC West), downing Heuvelton 1-0 while Hammond knocked off Clifton-Fine 3-0.
Meanwhile, Hermon-DeKalb overcame a 1-0 deficit against Morristown in NAC West Girls action in a 3-1 decision.
Lisbon 1, Heuvelton 0: The Golden Knights (8-2-1, 7-1-1) lone goal came from left wing Jake Pellerin who broke loose from the (3-6-2, 2-5-2) Bulldogs defense in the 28th minute.
We had a lot of opportunities but right now were struggling to finish. Zach Lashomb made some good saves for them and Cody James and Ryan Buckley played well at sweeper and stopper for us. We just need to get this offense going, said LCS coach Bill Reed.
Adam Kelley recorded the assist on the goal and Lashomb stopped 15 shots for Heuvelton. Jimmy Robinson supplied two shots for Lisbon.
Hammond 3, Clifton-Fine 0: The Red Devils (3-7-1, 3-5-1) used 10 saves from Nick Jewitt in the shutout where Hammond took a 2-0 lead at halftime against the host Eagles (0-10-1, 0-7-1).
Brock Tulley scored in the 10th minute from Nic Cunningham-Davison. Alex Fokeeson closed the first half scoring unassisted.
Colin Young finished off an Alex Fokeeson pass in the 58th to end the scoring. Jordan Planty stopped 14 shots for C-F.
Morristown 4, H-D 1: Jacob Fox generated a pair of first half goals for the Rockets. Jordan Kanaly started the scoring in the 12th minute unassisted for 7-1 Morristown. Fox finished off a Kanaly pass six minutes later.
Cameron Hance converted a Patrick Woodrow pass in the 24th minute for the Demons (1-9-1, 1-7-1) but Fox connected from Kanaly again in the 33rd for a 3-1 Rocket lead at halftime.
Jake VanArnam scored early in the second half from Devin Dulmage and Luke King finished with nine stops in goal. Riley ODonnell handled 13 shots for H-D.
H-D 3, Morristown 1: Bridget Rust tied the contest at 1-1 from Kasey ODonnell in the 9th and scored an insurance goal from Rhys Bryant in the 28th for the Lady Demons (6-3 NAC West). Brooke Woodrow scored the game winning goal in the 18th minute unassisted.
Jessica Geddes scored for Morristown (1-6-2) just six minutes into the game.
Hermon-DeKalbs Chelsey Mackay and Morristowns Samantha Green each recorded seven saves.

Brangelina to tie knot in France
They won't be America's sweethearts much longer. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie plan to tie the knot at their sprawling estate in France this summer — and then live in England for at least the next two years, according to published reports yesterday. The famed Tinseltown couple has spent the last six months quietly planning to hold a lavish wedding ceremony at their manse near the village of Correns, in the south of France, London's Daily Star reported. They'll reportedly exchange vows in a pre-Roman chapel on the grounds. Read More: New York Post
Accused subway plotter in court on terror charges
A New Yorker accused of helping plan one of the most chilling terror plots in the US since 9-11, is in court today to stand trial on a wide range of criminal charges. Adis Medunjanin and other former school classmates launched a scheme to carry out suicide bomb attacks in New York City's subways, federal prosecutors plan to argue in Brooklyn federal court. In preparation for the strikes, Medunjanin – along with alleged fellow-plotters Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay – journeyed to Pakistan to undergo bomb-making instruction at an al Qaeda terror training camp in a tribal region abutting that nation's frontier with Afghanistan, officials say.

Jury Selection Begins In Clemens Perjury Retrial
Jury selection begins today in Washington in the perjury retrial of former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens. His first trial ended in a mistrial last summer after only two days of testimony because the prosecution introduced inadmissible evidence.

He faces three counts of making false statements, two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of Congress. Read More: NY1
Coachella 2012: Tupac hologram joins Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre onstage at music festival
Late rapper Tupac Shakur resurrected onto the Coachella stage this past Sunday night to perform a few of his hit songs alongside music maven Snoop Dogg, to the shock and disbelief of the music festival's 75,000 fans. "What up, Coachella?!" the bare-chested Tupac hologram greeted a roaring crowd, before joining Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre on classic single "Hail Mary." The faux Shakur wore acid-wash jeans and Timberland boots circa 1995, just around the time he was shot dead on September 13, 1996, at the young age of 25. Read More: Daily News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo does not want a high-profile role at 2012 Democratic National Convention
Despite having his eye on a 2016 presidential run, Gov. Cuomo wants no part of a high-profile role at this year's Democratic National Convention, insiders say. While Cuomo will attend the convention in September in Charlotte, N.C., those close to him say he doesn't want President Obama to consider him for a major speaking slot — though it's not certain he would even be asked. Cuomo has learned from the example of his father, a former three-term New York governor. Mario Cuomo, like his son is now, was in his second year as governor when he was picked to deliver the keynote address at the 1984 Democratic National Convention. Read More: Daily News
Three in elite NYPD anti-gun unit accused of treating black suspects like 'animals'
Top supervisors of an elite NYPD anti-gun unit allegedly handled white suspects with kid gloves while treating blacks like "animals" deserving of a bullet to the head, the Daily News has learned. The explosive charges appear in sworn depositions from three members of the firearms suppression unit: two current NYPD detectives and a retired first-grade detective. Their testimony, part of a federal discrimination lawsuit, details how Capt. James Coan and Lt. Daniel Davin created a hostile environment for both their black detectives and suspected minority-group gun traffickers, said the plaintiffs' lawyer, Eric Sanders. Read More: Daily News

The pain of an unthinkable murder is still fresh in the minds of the people of Brunswick as residents cope with the death of a 13-month-old boy, who was gunned down in his stroller right in front of his mother in broad daylight.
"It's a horrendous thing and very disturbing," said Virginia Ray.
Dozens of family and friends gathered Sunday night at a Brunswick church to pray for the family, who was visibly shaken over the slaying of little Antonio Santiago.
"This community has been shocked, stunned, mortified, something never experienced before," said Mayor Bryan Thompson.
The community found strength through prayer during a candle light service at the First Presbyterian Church.
Antonio's father said the community's prayers give him strength to talk publicly.
"I am so blessed, I just thank God for all these people in the community," said Louis Santiago, the slain boy's father.
Santiago said he has hope for the teen suspects arrested and charged with first degree murder.
"I just want to tell the families and the people in this community, the little boys that did it that I forgive them," said Santiago.
Meanwhile, the boy's mother Sherry West says she has no doubt a teenage suspect is the man who killed her 13-month-old son, but family members say he wasn't anywhere near the scene.
That's definitely him," Sherry West said Saturday when she saw the jail mugshot of 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins, who is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. Police also arrested a 14-year-old who has not been identified because he's a minor.
Police announced the arrests of Elkins and the 14-year-old Friday afternoon. But Elkins' older sister said her family knows he wasn't involved in the shooting.
"My brother wasn't anywhere near that area as far as we know — not the scene or the shooting," she said Saturday. She said she didn't know whether Elkins had a lawyer.
"He couldn't have done that to a little baby," she said. "My brother has a good heart."

To capture the full range of colors given off by diffuse nebulae in the sky, the EOS 60Da features a specially tailored infrared blocking filter that allows the light normally blocked by a typical DSLR's filter to be captured by the camera's sensor. This means that the reddish hydrogen-alpha (Hα) light (656nm) gasses unseen by a normal DSLR are captured brightly and clearly on the EOS 60Da. With its modified infrared blocking filter, the EOS 60Da captures approximately 3x the hydrogen-alpha (Hα) rays than the EOS 60D, resulting in astrophotography that is sharper, clearer and more accurate in the depiction of naturally occurring reddish hues of diffuse nebulae.

One thing you probably didn't know: Before she was playing Peggy, actress Elisabeth Moss was an aspiring ballet dancer. She started taking lessons at age 5, and in her teens she attended the School of American Ballet in New York and spent summers at Suzanne Farrell's intensive in DC.

MASSENA - A Massena man whose release under the supervision of the probation department last week in St. Lawrence County Court last week sparked an outcry from political leaders in the community was jailed late Thursday night after he was charged for allegedly taking part in a home invasion at 27 1/2 Spruce St. earlier in the day.
Village police charged Patrick R. Lloyd, 25, of 16 Haskell St., Massena, with a misdemeanor count of second-degree menacing following an investigation into an incident that took place at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at the Spruce Street residence of Albert Brossoit and Felicity Caskinette. Lloyd allegedly drove another man to the Spruce Street residence and the passenger in his vehicle allegedly pointed a handgun at Ms. Caskinette.
Lloyd was arraigned on the misdemeanor count by Acting Massena Village Justice James M. Crandall and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond. The court also signed an order of protection directing Lloyd to have no contact with Mr. Brossoit or Ms. Caskinette.
Mr. Crandall noted Lloyds criminal history revealed he had cited for failing to appear in court as directed in six different occasions and noted he had several charges pending in various courts in the state, including high level felony cases pending in St. Lawrence and Franklin county courts. He said Lloyds arrest on the menacing count violated his release status on those felony charges.
Witnesses told police Lloyd, known by his street name of Problem, drove a second man to 27 1/2 Spruce St. at approximately 3 p.m. following Ms. Caskinette when she drove into her residence. I looked out and saw a black Charger, the one Problem drives, and then I saw this black guy ... pull a black and silver handgun out and point it at Felicity. Then they took off, Albert Brossoit noted in the statement he signed for police.
He said the passenger in Lloyds vehicle, known only by his street name, returned approximately a half hour later with a female and walked inside his residence without permission.
I had a knife in my hand, and Q told me to put the knife down and come talk to him man to man outside. I set my knife down and went outside to talk to Q. Q said I was trying to talk —— about his n——-. Q then took a swing at me, Mr. Brossoit said, noting his assailant missed with the first punch. He then grabbed my shirt and punched me in the back of the head.
Mr. Brossoit said he was able to get away from the man and went back inside the residence after he heard his girlfriend yelling she was pregnant. Witnesses said the female that had entered the residence had grabbed Ms. Caskinette by the hair and was attempting to pull her across the room.
The Massena police traced his problem with Lloyd and his girlfriend, Miranda Green, to an incident that has taken place approximately a month ago at Keith Snyders apartment on South Main Street.
Problem pushed Felicity in the corner and held her down while Miranda was punching her. Felicity said she was pregnant, and Miranda said, Your face isnt pregnant. Then she stopped. Felicity walked out. I went to get my keys, and they said I better not let Felicity go to the cops, Mr. Brossoit recalled in his statement to police.
Mr. Crandall read the witnesses statements to Lloyd at his arraignment, and the Haskell Street resident quickly pointed to inconsistencies in the statements provided by Mr. Brossoit and Ms. Caskinette. He noted Mr. Brossoit told police he had observed the gun incident from the residence, while Ms. Caskinette had suggested Mr. Brossoit was in the vehicle with her when she was threatened with the gun.
Lloyd proclaimed his innocence during his court appearance.
Meanwhile, the police investigation into the home invasion resulted in the arrests of three other people on drug and weapon charges. Police said while they were searching for the suspects in the home invasion they located two men walking on Maple Street near the mental health clinic at approximately 4:30 p.m. that initial reports indicated might be associated with a vehicle being sought in connection with the Spruce St. incident.
As we approached the males, a male wearing jeans and a black jacket took off running. I apprehended the subject on George St. Laying next to the subject was a baggie with seven bundles of heroin ..., Ptl. Jayden Pernice wrote in a statement included in the court documents.
Village police charged Janek P. Podeswick, 33, of 1624 Hawely Ave., Syracuse, with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. He was also arraigned by Judge Crandall and sent to the county jail with bail set at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.
The man reportedly with Podeswick on Maple Street, Jose Antonio Castro Luzarnis 25, of 59 1/2 Maple St., Massena, was charged with a felony count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
He was reportedly found in possession of a loaded Inter Arms semi-automatic 9mm handgun without a valid pistol permit.
Tpr. Dustin J. Anderson said he was on Maple Street with other police officers when they observed the two males walking down the street. He said after the Syracuse man took off running Luzarnis turned and faced him.
He had a plastic bag in his right hand and appeared to be fumbling with it trying to set it down and grabbing at his waist. I ordered him to show me his hands, which he did not. I took the subject to the ground and secured him in handcuffs. I located the 9mm pistol in the front right side of his waistband. I secured the weapon, which contained five rounds in the magazine, Tpr. Anderson noted in his statement.
The fourth arrest stemmed took place at approximately 7:30 p.m. Thursday on Willow Street, where Lloyd was taken into custody. Village police said Kimberly A. Jandrew, 26, of 40 Willow St., Apt. 1, Massena, agreed to allow police to search her apartment for a weapon they thought might have connections to the home invasion.
While inside the residence, police said they found drug paraphernalia, and Jandrew admitted she had concealed narcotics in a body cavity, She was taken to Massena Memorial Hospital by a female state trooper, and Jandrew reportedly removed multiple baggies contained multiple amounts of various types of drugs, including a substance that tested positive for cocaine, from her body cavity.
Luzarnis and Jandrew were each arraigned by Mr. Crandall early Friday morning and sent to the county jail with bail set at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.
Village police were assisted Thursday by state police, U.S. Border Patrol agents and state DEC police.
Village police said their investigation is continuing, and further arrests are pending.

Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 902(2) of the Senate amendment is deleted since the bankruptcy court will have jurisdiction over all cases under chapter 9. The concept of a claim being materially and adversely affected reflected in section 902(1) of the Senate amendment has been deleted and replaced with the new concept of "impairment" set forth in section 1124 of the House amendment and incorporated by reference into chapter 9.
senate report no. 95–989
There are six definitions for use in chapter 9. Paragraph (1) defines what claims are included in a chapter 9 case and adopts the definition now found in section 81(1) [section 401(1) of former title 11]. All claims against the petitioner generally will be included, with one significant exception. Municipalities are authorized, under section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended [title 26], to issue tax-exempt industrial development revenue bonds to provide for the financing of certain projects for privately owned companies. The bonds are sold on the basis of the credit of the company on whose behalf they are issued, and the principal, interest, and premium, if any, are payable solely from payments made by the company to the trustee under the bond indenture and do not constitute claims on the tax revenues or other funds of the issuing municipalities. The municipality merely acts as the vehicle to enable the bonds to be issued on a tax-exempt basis. Claims that arise by virtue of these bonds are not among the claims defined by this paragraph and amounts owed by private companies to the holders of industrial development revenue bonds are not to be included among the assets of the municipality that would be affected by the plan. See Cong. Record, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. H.R. 12073 (statement by Mr. Don Edwards, floor manager of the bill in the House). Paragraph (2) defines the court which means the federal district court or federal district judge before which the case is pending. Paragraph (3) [enacted as (1)] specifies that when the term "property of the estate" is used in a section in another chapter made applicable in chapter 9 cases, the term means "property of the debtor". Paragraphs (4) and (5) [enacted as (2) and (3)] adopt the definition of "special taxpayer affected by the plan" that appears in current sections 81(10) and 81(11) of the Bankruptcy Act [section 401(10) and (11) of former title 11]. Paragraph (6) [enacted as (4)] provides that "trustee" means "debtor" when used in conjunction with chapter 9.
house report no. 95–595
There are only four definitions for use only in chapter 9. The first specifies that when the term "property of the estate" is used in a section in another chapter made applicable in chapter 9 cases, the term will mean "property of the debtor". Paragraphs (2) and (3) adopt the definition of "special taxpayer affected by the plan" that appears in current sections 81(10) and 81(11) [section 401(10) and (11) of former title 11]. Paragraph (4) provides for "trustee" the same treatment as provided for "property of the estate", specifying that it means "debtor" when used in conjunction with chapter 9.

Arizona House goes after teacher job security
PHOENIX — Teachers would have less time to save their jobs after being
reprimanded under a measure backed by the Arizona House of Representatives.
In a 50-7 vote, the House advanced legislation Thursday that would reduce the
time a teacher has to improve after being notified that their performance is
Under the measure sent to the Senate for approval, teachers would have 45
instructional days to prove they are good educators and save their jobs.
Currently, teachers have 90 days.
Teachers' union leaders say the measure will help weed out bad teachers and
ensure students are learning.
If the measure became law, it would take effect in July.

|Body Found Near Friday Crash Scene
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 11 May 2013 17:20
The body of a man was found early Saturday morning near the scene of a wreck from Friday night—and one man was said to be missing from the crash scene. The matter remains under investigation of the NC State Patrol, Sgt. Henley saying Saturday that a GMC Sierra SUV crashed traveling US 19E,
running off of the road to the left as the vehicle traveled in the direction of the Mitchell County line. The SUV ran off of the road at about 8:45 PM and overturned, with only minor injuries reported for the four occupants found at the scene—one said to be suffering a broken collar bone another more minor injuries. But a fifth person, said to have been in the vehicle, was not found as dusk turned to darkness, and was not found in spite of an extensive rescue squad search of the area around the crash scene. Family members of the man were first back out to search early Saturday morning, and just after 7am, there was a report that a body was found in the Toe River, near where Winters Lane crosses over the river. Avery deputies converged on the scene and turned the matter back over to the State Patrol, with the body sent for an autopsy to determine the identity of the man and the cause of death. Sgt. Henley said it may be Monday before the investigation reaches that point.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) -- An early morning fire at the Harris Building in downtown Grand Rapids started in the heating unit, says Grand Rapids Deputy Fire Chief Frank Verburg.
It was reported around 2:20 a.m. at 111 Division Avenue South. Fire crews say the building did not appear to be occupied at the time of the fire.
Captain Verburg says the fire was on the third floor and spread to the roof. He says it appears the fire was contained to the roof and there was zero damage to the interior of the building.
He estimates loss at above $50,000.
Captain Verburg says he can't put point to a direct cause for the H-VAC unit to start on fire, but says it's common for heating units to malfunction in extremely cold weather.
The Harris Building was built in 1892 on the site of the old Grand Rapids Brewing Company. It was an ArtPrize venue last year and is being converted into retail, residential and office space.

Some VERRRY OLD dolls to identify and value
Was looking through some boxes of items that belonged to my Great Aunt Nellie (1902-1982). Among a zillion old photos and letters, she also had wrapped up several old dolls. One of them (the girl with the broken face) is clearly marked as an Armand Marseilles, but the others have no obvious markings, so I am lost. I have been trying to do my own research, and have perused many doll websites, and looked through thousands of photos in hopes of identifying where they came from and anything else I could learn about them. Some of them belonged to Nellie's mother, so I'm certain they are from the last 19th century. If any of you recognize these dolls, or could direct me to a reputable doll collector who might be able to help, please let me know. I believe that all of the clothing is original as well, and might actually be quite beautiful if cleaned/restored properly. Thanks so much....Alison P.S. I have many more photos if necessary

A very nice grouping of dolls!
The first doll you have pictured is a German Patent Washable doll. These dolls were produced by various German doll manufacturers from 1880 - 1915. Value $85 - 110.00
The second doll pictured is a Armand Marseilles mold 370. The German doll firm of Armand Marseilles was one of the largest doll manufactures at on time. Doll is C. 1900 and can be easily be found on the secondary doll market. Due to facial damage value of $25 -50.00
The third doll pictured is a C. 1880 German doll and is probably a M & S Superior head doll. Appears to have loss of facial paint. Value $ $75 - $120.00
The fourth doll pictures appears to be a hard plastic doll C. 1950 Value $10- 20.00
The fifth doll pictured is a very desirable C. 1850 - 1860 German Glass eyed China head. These are very sought after dolls among doll collectors. I would suggest that you might want to contact a Worthologist for a more detailed valuation on her.

In the post on rapper Fifty Cent, and his wearing of the Marine Corps uniform, some bright light named Kyle said:
Wow, what complete ignorance on this post. Lets get one thing straight. He's an entertainer. Please tell me the difference between the movie and video besides the length. Nothing. Both are meant to tell a story. To my knowledge this was worn for a video shoot. So can you tell every actor to take the blues off to? Oh and he's made close to 10 movies and one where he is in the military. And to Blaine, he cant read or write? Bet Midler didnt think that when him and her went back to his old neighborhood to fix up an old park in his neighborhood. The World Food Program certainly knows he can read since he's trying to feed 1billion people in Africa. The man is involved with many charities. So before your ignorance takes over, ask yourself what have you done lately.
Fifty Cent was wearing the uniform for his Rider Pt. 2 video. Go to this link for a peek. Some of the commenters at the Battle Rattle site see fit to compare the rapper's lousy wearing of the uniform to Jack Nicholson or Ed Harris wearing a military uniform in a movie. The thing is, both those actors wore the uniform properly. Others took aim at Cpl. Matthew Schafer, saying he had not deployed or that he was not a real Marine. This cleared it up:
He is a real Marine- I helped recruit and put him into the Marine Corps myself. He actually was awarded an NROTC scholarship but for some bizarre reason his father made him turn it down and go enlisted instead. Furthermore, you don't have to deploy to die for your country. I lost 2 marines in a training accident in Wyoming. It's the fact that you have raised your hand and sworn to give your life if it comes down to it that counts. While I may not agree with his language or approach, you have to admit that the way that 50 cent is wearing is definitely less than honorable. I have my own opinions but that is a different issue. Also, to those of you railing against him, remember before you attack him that he has sworn to die for your very right to do so, so please remember that. Semper Fi
Wearing the uniform with respect is important for the sole reason that men have died wearing it. Better men than Jack Nicholson, Ed Harris, or Fifty Cent.

The trio cover quite a bit of ground. The play of the defense tops the agenda along with the struggles of defensive end Mario Williams relative to his $100-million contract.

Wind gusting across Deerfield Subdivision has blown all kinds of construction debris into yards of about a dozen homes on Route 37 — Styrofoam, cardboard, plastic covering and shingles.
The neighboring homeowners, who say the out-of-state developer has sat on its hands while they've complained for months, are asking for a chain-link fence to block the trash.
Resident Randy J. Bachmeyer, who told the Pamelia Town Council on Monday the problem started when the developer began building homes in the winter, is leading the effort to have the fence built. He said there's been a constant flow of trash into the large backyard of his home at 24171 Route 37, next to two single-family modular homes built recently. Beacon Asset Managers, Jacksonville, Fla., plans to build 29 single-family houses and 39 duplexes on the 43-acre piece of land.
"I've picked up a whole lot of trash from construction debris and household trash — plastic cups and paper plates," Mr. Bachmeyer said Tuesday. He said he has complained to workers on three different occasions. "If we're getting this much trash from the houses there now, I can't imagine how much there's going to be when they're all built. I've gone over there and raised hell about it each time, and (workers) eventually come over to pick it up. I was going to put up a fence in my yard, but my thought was, 'Why should I be responsible?'"
Mr. Bachmeyer said six houses on the western side of Route 37, including his own, that border the subdivision have been bombarded with trash, as have some houses on the eastern side. He told board members Monday that the developer should build a chain-link fence about a quarter-mile long that would separate the subdivision and residential properties on the west side of Route 37.
Agreeing the plan could solve the problem, Supervisor Lawrence C. Longway told Mr. Bachmeyer he will contact the developer about the plan this week.
Two large industrial dumpsters without lids are used to dispose of trash at the site. Mr. Bachmeyer contended that strong winds are easily blowing out lightweight debris.
A manager from one of the subcontractors at the site Tuesday, who declined to be identified, said the trash problem has been caused mainly by poor management of the project. He said dumpsters at the site should be contained in a fenced-in area so trash can't blow away, but such a solution has not yet been considered by the developer.
"This problem has been addressed by residents several times, but no one has taken ownership of it," he said, adding that only workers from his crew have helped residents pick up debris. "The guy who is responsible has another job and hasn't been here to manage the project. No one gets along with him."
The contractor responsible for ground work is Cunningham Excavation, Cazenovia, while Wimbledon Properties, Maryville, Tenn., is leading construction of houses. Wimbledon hired Stephen P. Jellie, Black River, president of Tuckers Trail Residential LLC, as a liaison to oversee subcontractors' work at the site. Mr. Jellie did not return a call Tuesday seeking comment.
Plenty of debris also has flown east over Route 37, becoming a vexation for residents on that side. It has blown onto the front lawn almost every week at Family Chiropractic Care, 24304 Route 37, owner Samuel Vassallo said. He supports Mr. Bachmeyer's view, that the developer should erect a fence to solve the problem.
"We've been picking up Styrofoam and debris that gets caught into the property almost weekly," he said Tuesday. "It's kind of more annoying than anything else, but I think they should build the fence."

In 1859, Darwin suggested that whales arose from bears, sketching a scenario in which selective pressures might cause bears to evolve into whales. But, stunned by criticism, he removed his hypothetical swimming bears from later editions of the Origin of Species. Unsure how to proceed, yet realizing that whales differed from fish, evolutionists sought a new ancestor. Whales are warm-blooded vertebrates that regulate their internal temperature and, like most mammals (the exception being the duck-billed platypus), female whales bear live young, which are nursed by mammary glands. These (and other) features make whales unequivocally mammalian—a fact that poses a significant hurdle for evolutionists.
According to the November 2001 issue of National Geographic, modern-day whales evolved from an animal known as Pakicetus (50 million years ago, allegedly). The artist's reconstruction of Pakicetus looks very similar to a dog swimming underwater. However, the artist obviously did not take into account the fact that the fossil was discovered in an area containing fossilized remains of terrestrial creatures such as snails, or that it was found in a land stratum, not an aquatic one. This "ancient ancestor" was discovered in 1983 by Philip D. Gingerich, who immediately pronounced the find to be a primitive whale—even though he found only a jaw and a few skull fragments! So what makes National Geographic so sure this creature is a long-lost "walking" ancestor to whales? Chadwick stated:
What causes scientists to declare the creature a whale? Subtle clues in combination—the arrangement of cups on the molar teeth, a folding in a bone of the middle ear, and the positioning of the ear bones within the skull (2001, p. 68).
So from mere dimples in teeth and folded ear bones, this animal somehow qualifies as a walking whale? Closer examination of Pakicetus reveals that these creatures had little in common with whales and thus is not the ancient ancestors of whales. [See "Walking Whales" on our Web site under Docs' Dissections for more information on the origins of whales.]
