We'll respond shortly.
What do you mean: "Because it uses Rack, it may have problems doing streaming" ?
You can find some user feedback on the google group : http://groups.google.com/group/thin-ruby/topics
Thanks for stopping by to comment — I'm honored! I'm conferring with other folks here about what gave us that impression. Stay tuned. We'll welcome refutation.
@macournoyer: From what I've heard, Rack hides the transport (socket or whatever) behind an abstraction, so you can't get to it to stream data without some heroics. According to Ezra Zygmuntovich, you have to load all your data into memory in one chunk. He says he's working on a patch for Rack, so that should improve soon.
hey guys, just to let you know that latest version of Thin (0.5.4) supports streaming.
I've worked w/ Ezra on that one and it respects Rack specs. The response body is sent by chunk yielded by body#each. So you can control the size of each chunk by overriding the each method.
And it's also a lot faster and consume less memory ;)
Let me know if you have any other suggestions about thin.

LCC is one of the primary GED testing centers in Lane County. More than 800 students registered with them will have to start the program all over again if they don't complete the testing before the deadline. Dietmeyer said students have other incentives to wrap up their GED before the change. "The test will be harder," she said. "Instead of all multiple choice, there will now be some fill in the blank."

By Steve Eaton
At an awards banquet in September, Gary E. Stevenson was honored with the top award that the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business bestows, its Distinguished Executive Alumnus Award.
Gary graduated from Utah State with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration in 1979. While attending USU Gary co-founded Icon Health & Fitness, Inc., that went on to become the world's largest developer, manufacturer, and marketer of fitness equipment.
He has served in the LDS church as a missionary in the Japan Fukuoka Mission, as president of the Japan Nagoya Mission, as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, and as President of the Asia North Area. In fact, he was in that last role in March, 2011, when the tsunami hit Japan and the country experienced 1,000 earthquakes. He was deeply involved in the relief efforts that followed there.
In March 2012, he was named the Presiding Bishop of the LDS Church, a position with enormous scope and responsibility in which he oversees many of the physical affairs of that worldwide organization, including the relief efforts the church launches after natural disasters strike. Between 1985 and 2011 the church reports that it spent $1.4 billion on humanitarian assistance in places like Japan, Haiti, Chile, Pakistan, Samoa, Ethiopia, and the Philippines. Some 179 countries have received humanitarian aid from the Utah-based church since 1985.
Bishop Stevenson, as he is called in his new position, also has responsibility for the distribution and accounting of member contributions, including tithing, offerings, and other donations. He oversees programs that assist the poor, and directs the design, construction, and maintenance of places of worship.
Gary has been refining his business skills since he was about 10 years old, when he started selling programs at the Nelson Field House and at the old Aggie football stadium. In college he soon became a part of the Huntsman School of Business, known then simply as the College of Business. That's when he and Scott Watterson, a grade-school classmate, teamed up.
"During the summer of 1977 we had a choice between working for the water department or doing something on our own," Scott said.
He and Gary both served LDS missions in Asia, so they decided to take advantage of that experience. With the help of another friend and Huntsman student, Brad Sorenson, they launched a new business importing kitchenware, tableware, and marble products from Taiwan in 1977. Scott credits the school, the professors, and the culture there at the time for encouraging them to think like entrepreneurs and get their business off the ground. Several ventures later, in the 1980s, they began manufacturing trampolines, starting on the path that led them into the health and fitness industry.
In November 1994 their company became ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. Some of the company's best-known brands include NordicTrack, FreeMotion Fitness, ProForm, Weider, Health-Rider, Image, iFit, and Weslo, Tour de France, and Boston Marathon.
Gary served as ICON's president and chief operating officer until his call into full-time church service in 2008. He is still a member of the company's board of directors. Scott has served as chairman and chief executive officer since the firm was founded.
Scott said that Gary always paid attention to the details, took copious notes, and was an excellent communicator. He said he remembers a time when a large retailer in the southeast had a concern, and after talking about it on the phone with the customer, Gary felt more had to be done.
"He just jumped on a plane and was at the office of that particular buyer that same day, and it kind of startled the man," Scott said. "It showed the commitment that the company has and that he had to making things right."
Scott said that Gary was an effective, hard-working business partner but also a loyal and true friend. "We always had each other's backs," he said.
Gary Stevenson's son Brett, who is now a Huntsman student, said he predicts his father will do well in his new calling.
"He's a natural leader," Brett said. "He's very caring and compassionate about the individual. Programs are important, but he's more interested in the people who he works with. He's very interested in knowing you personally, and I think that's what makes him a great leader."
He said his roots run deep when it comes to USU and that he has fond memories of his time there and feels an allegiance to the Huntsman School of Business.
"It was in some of those classes that our minds were stimulated to the extent that we thought we wanted to apply these business principles that we were learning ourselves in a practical way, so we started a business," he said.
He said he feels "honored and undeserving" of the award.
"I am impressed with the progress and direction of what is now the Huntsman School of Business, and I think there is a great level of respect it is receiving," he said. "I think its stature just continues to grow and increase under the leadership of Dean Anderson, and the great faculty and students who are there now."

|Floren Varsity House Athletic Facility
Take a Photographic Tour of the Facilities
About Floren Varsity House
The Floren Varsity House is the latest addition among new and renovated facilities that serve hundreds of student-athletes who represent Dartmouth on 35 varsity athletic teams as well as the many hundreds more who participate in club sports, recreation fitness and intramural activities.
The $19.5 million Floren Varsity House has been made possible through the leadership gift of Douglas C. Floren '63 and his family, as well as the support of many other members of the Dartmouth family whose generosity has made possible a facility that is second to none in the Ivy League and beyond.
Attached to the renovated East Stands of Memorial Field, Floren Varsity House features a 10,000-square foot strength training center; 130-seat "smart classroom," meeting rooms and study lounges for all varsity teams; football locker faclities; and offices for the football, baseball, softball and women's lacrosse teams.
Floren Strength Training Center
The Big Green will utilize a state-of-the-art varsity weight room in the recently completed Floren Varsity House. This versatile new building was made possible by a $10 million leadership gift from Olivia and Doug Floren '63 of Greenwich, Conn. and their family. The new 10,000-square foot strength center in the Floren Varsity House will allow students to undergo effective strength, power, plyometric, agility, flexibility and conditioning programs under the supervision of head strength coach Bob Miller. New equipment in the strength center will benefit all 34 of Dartmouth's varsity programs. Equipment in the Floren Varsity House weight room includes:

An accepted wisdom in business is that being first-to-market with a product, service or a new wrinkle on an old idea is the optimal strategy. Intuitively, this makes sense—a new market is there for the taking. The early mover can capitalize on its inventiveness, win brand loyalty and fend off the copycats that follow. Now comes a series of provocative books declaring that being an early mover is fraught with danger, that the risk of failure for a first-to-market company is much higher than for the pack in pursuit.Read More »

Access to Closed Records
Closed records
Some of the records in our care contain personal information about living individuals, or other sensitive information. In such cases, records may be marked as 'closed' for a set period of time, often 100 or 80 years from the date that the document was created. Closed records are not generally available to view in our public search room, but we have procedures in place to allow access to the records in certain circumstances.
The procedures on this page are appropriate for most records. However for a small number of our collections different access procedures apply, in accordance with the wishes of the owner or depositor. Staff will be able to advise you in such instances.
If you wish to access closed records:
1. You may make a written request to be given specific information from the records
2. You may apply to the owner of the material for permission to come and view the records for research purposes
Written requests for information from closed records
You can make a written request for information from closed archive material, by e-mail or by post. You may ask us for information about a specific topic, organisation, about another person or about yourself. If you request information about yourself from closed records, your enquiry will be dealt with under the Data Protection Act 1998 (see below).
We will search the closed records on your behalf and if we find the information, we then need to consult with the owner of the records to obtain permission to release the information to you. Occasionally we may not be allowed to release the information to you. Examples of information that may not be released include personal information about other living individuals and medical information about hospital patients.
Research Fees
We will charge a fee for searching closed records on your behalf, of £30 per hour. Before conducting any search we will estimate the time needed to search the records and notify you of the fee. You can then decide whether you wish to proceed with the search, or whether you wish to make an application to view the records (see below).
Unfortunately we cannot refund your research fee once a search has been conducted, even if we do not find the information you have asked for or if we are not able to release the information to you for legal reasons.
We aim to deal with research requests within 30 working days, but please be aware that it may take longer to process your enquiry if you have requested extensive research. We must also wait for a response from the owner of the records before we can provide the final response to your enquiry.
The Data Protection Act 1998
If you ask us for your own personal information from closed records, we will deal your request under the Data Protection Act 1998. We aim to answer your request within 40 calendar days. No research fee will be charged but we must still obtain permission from the owner of the records before releasing information to you.
Applications to view records for research purposes
If you wish to apply to view closed records for research, please ask us for an application form. Once completed, we will pass this to the owner of the material and they will assess your application. If you application is approved, you can then visit the archives to view the records. When visiting the archives you will need to bring your authorised application form with you, as well as a reader's ticket or suitable forms of personal identification (please ask staff for a separate leaflet).
Many of our records are privately owned and so the owner may be an individual or organisation outside Birmingham City Council. As a consequence, we cannot specify a time period in which your application will be dealt with, or guarantee that permission will be granted.
Fragile Records
Please be aware that some archives and heritage material is in very poor physical condition and cannot be handled. In such cases, we may not be able to search the item in response to your enquiry, or allow you to view the item.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000
Members of the public have the right to make a written request for information from Birmingham City Council under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We aim to comply with the requirements of this legislation through the enquiry services provided above. More information about the Act can be found at: www.birmingham.gov.uk/foi. If you would like to make a request, an application form can be found on the website. Alternatively, please direct your request to the address below.

text: This is a drawing tutorial that I have made for you Dragoart members. If you are an anime fan, and know the show Sekirei, then you will love this tutorial. It was so hard to draw Minato, and especially creating my own pose of him. When drawing Minato, be aware of the complexity of his hair, jaw, cheek, and chin; the parts that were tricking me when trying to draw correctly. Also be sure you understand that Minato's eyes are unique to most anime characters; not many male characters in anime have his style of eyes. Hope you all luck, and please fav, love, comment, and share. Cheers!

President Obama decided this week that the Muslim Brotherhood-linked regime ruling parts of Somalia out of the capital city Mogadishu is eligible to receive U.S. military aid and weapons, sending a memo to Secretary of State John Kerry announcing the new finding and laying the ground work for even more foreign entanglements in Africa. While the decision does not mean American taxpayers will begin sending arms immediately, Obama claimed his administration could legitimately provide military assistance to United Nations-backed Somali authorities under existing U.S. export and foreign aid statutes.
"I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Federal Republic of Somalia will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace," states the memo, which was issued on Monday and purports to allow Kerry to arm and train Somali forces. It was not immediately clear what section or language in the Constitution the president believes would authorize arming the leftist Somali regime or any other foreign governments.
However, as Obama has made clear throughout his administration — in both foreign and domestic policy — the Supreme Law of the Land appears to be of little concern. Like previous presidents, the current White House occupant has been lawlessly arming and training various regimes and militant groups around the world despite the lack of any constitutional authority to do so. The results have been disastrous.
According to news reports about the executive branch "determination," Obama claims that it is somehow in the national security interest of the United States for the U.S. government to be able to provide more military assistance to the Somali regime. Arming, training, and funding authorities in Mogadishu could also help to promote "peace" and "stability" in East Africa — a troubled region with a long history of tyranny, war, famine, and more. The move would contribute to "world peace" as well, the president claimed without elaborating.
"It does not constitute a decision to provide particular assistance or to change the nature or our assistance for Somalia's security sector," White House National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden was quoted as saying in media reports, adding that the move allows Kerry to "consider" providing weapons. "The United States is committed to being a long-term partner in assisting the defense forces in Somalia to become professional military forces."

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Certified Home Health Agency discharged its last patient Friday, but the countys Long-Term Health Care Agency will remain open for a while longer.
The county CHHA was a casualty of last years budget discussions because legislators did not think it would be able to compete with other agencies that were planning to offer the same services. The county began winding down the agency this year.
However, the county cannot end its long-term health care program until another agency is ready to accept its clients. Long-term care covers patients with chronic conditions whose bills are paid by Medicaid. Medicaid reimbursements are typically lower than those paid by Medicare, insurance companies and self-pay clients who use home health care.
The county agency has 48 long-term care clients. Thats going to be a pretty static number because the state wont allow us to take on any more people, Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway said.
A committee of the states Public Health and Health Planning Council recently approved the application of Health Services of Northern New York, one of the countys existing CHHAs, to take on long-term care clients. The full council is scheduled to meet April 11.
However, the transfer of patients will not be immediate, Ms. Hathaway said.
The state Department of Health must approve policies and procedures of Health Services of Northern New York, which also must receive a Medicaid rate.
We dont know how long that will take, Ms. Hathaway said. It might be a four- to six-week transition.

Gamethread: New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills 12.30.12
Who: New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills
When: 1:00 p.m. EST
Where: Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo, NY
Media: TV – CBS, DirecTV – 710, Radio – ESPN 98.7 FM, Sirius – 148, Sirius XM – XM 229, Internet Audio – Audio Pass.
Their Previous Meeting: The last time these two teams met, little did we know we'd witness one of the last complete team performances in 2012. Coming off a preseason where Greg McElroy had managed to score the Jets' only touchdown, the Jets' offense looked to get off to a quick start. It started off well enough as the Jets managed to advance to their own 47 yard line before Sanchez found a blue jersey instead of Jeff Cumberland on a short pass. The defense, specifically Revis Island, would come through as Revis picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick a few plays later. Set up at their own 39 yard line, the Jets got back to work with Sanchez finding Kerley on a 21 yard throw to drive the Jets down the field … the duo connected in the end zone on a 12 yard toss. This would set the tone for the rest of the game as the Jets went on to score 14 straight points on a touchdown to Stephen Hill and a 68 yard punt return for a touchdown by Kerley. Buffalo managed to sneak a touchdown in before halftime behind a 56 yard breakaway run by C.J. Spiller but the Jets added two field goals before the end of the first half to secure a 27-7 lead. New York continued their onslaught against Buffalo as Antonio Cromartie ran 40 yards for a touchdown after intercepting Fitzpatrick while Stephen Hill connected with Sanchez again from 17 yards out. The Bills would try, in vain, to get back into the game as they scored 21 unanswered points before the Jets put the nail in the coffin with a 1 yard Shonn Greene run for a touchdown. The Jets won 48-28.

Even when the season is lost, the Jets refuse to go down with grace. It's a battleground to the end and this past week encapsulated that very much so. Between McElroy hiding his concussion symptoms, anonymous sources angering the masses and a fanbase desperately ready for change, to say it's been an emotionally draining experience would be a gross understatement.
So, we get to see the perhaps final appearance of both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow in a Jets uniform along with a handful of other players who are unlikely to return next season. There isn't much to be said. Obviously, over the course of his career, Sanchez has had mostly positives performances against Buffalo but he's seemingly lost any confidence he had left since their meeting at the beginning of the season. We'll see what happens but I'm not going to have any expectations, good or bad, because there is just so much unknown at this point that to venture a guess would be foolish.
The only thing the Jets have left is pride so hopefully they can end this disastrous season on a positive note … there will be plenty of time for the firestorm to overcome the organization tomorrow and beyond. Good luck to all the coaches and Jets out there appearing in their final game with New York and a special thanks and good luck to special teams guru Mike Westhoff. We'll miss you Westy!

ProMo-Cymru was commissioned by Cardiff Gypsy and Traveller Project to work with the Gypsy Community of Shirenewton in Gwent. ProMo arranged for tutors to help the girls with designing and producing wedding themed costumes which were presented at the Newport Fashion Show.
During the 6 month project, the young people learnt various skills including team working, design, sewing photography, sound recording and video recording. The young people successfully exhibited their costumes at the Newport Fashion Show which was featured in the Travellers' Times.
ProMo produced a video detailing the development and the achievements of the young people over the course of the 6 months. The success of the project led to ProMo-Cymru being commissioned by Rhymney High School to produce a film for the Gypsy community to encourage further education.

It takes imagination to see the possibilities for the old Knight-Ideal Coal property in east Wellington.
Broken slabs of concrete, coal fines and lots of what might politely be called "native plants" now adorn the landscape. These are remnants of the days when the coal company used to wash and pile up its production on the site for rail shipment.
That's all yesterday and today. As for the future, how about this: Two baseball fields, a 2.5-acre fishing pond complete with fishing platforms, restrooms, playground, picnic area, asphalt parking lot and shade trees. Those would all fit on the 17-acre property the city owns.
The price tag to bring this plan into reality is a cool $2.4 million. It is the most expensive of three options for park development designed by engineers at URS Corp. for the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. On Wednesday, the Wellington City Council got a look at the options, and agreed to work up a list of proposed changes or suggestions over the next few weeks.
The basic model, a fishing pond to be designed by the Division of Wildlife Resources along the lines of the Gigliotti Pond in Helper, would go for about $800,000.
The next most expensive alternative is a pond and single ball park for more than $1 million.
These plans are taking shape because the DOGM's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program is out to reclaim the property in full. Previous efforts were aimed at reducing immediate safety hazards. These included burying tons and tons of coal on site and bulldozing concrete and debris into piles on the surface and burying the rest. Sunnyside Cogeneration helped somewhat when it hauled away truckloads of the low-grade coal almost a decade ago to burn in its power plant. Native plants had even sprouted in that big coal pile before it was leveled, although spontaneous combustion in the fuel occasionally reduced the population.
The complete restoration, which would bring the land into full compliance with national environmental standards, is probably eligible for federal grants from the U.S. Office of Surface Mining reclamation program.
That would finance the removal of the coal and debris, and regrading the whole property for eventual park development.
Mayor Ben Blackburn is pushing for the biggest plan. He told the council he thinks it is better to get the engineering done for the long term, then apply for grants or do what can be done with local volunteer help to implement the improvements in time.
Wellington got the property in 1997 when Arch Coal, the eventual owner of the site, deeded it over to the city.
URS, based in Salt Lake, designed the options based on a "wish list" suggested earlier by the city. The initial options delivered to the city represent a 30-percent completion of the entire engineering task. The proposed schedule calls for 90 percent of the work to be done by December, with a construction start possible by sometime in 2011.

Mike Nickeas, Zach Lutz to be recalled today
The Mets announced they will recall both Mike Nickeas and Zach Lutz in time for tonight's game against the Marlins in Miami.
Active rosters expand to 40 players today – both players are on the 40-man roster, and so no corresponding move is required.
Nickeas, 29, hit .364 (24-for-66) with six doubles, one home run and six RBI in 22 games with the Bisons. Nickeas began the year with the Mets and batted .168 (17-for-101) with three doubles, one home run and 13 RBI in 42 games before he was optioned to Buffalo on July 16.
Lutz, 26, hit .299 (73-for-244) with 34 runs scored, 16 doubles, 10 home runs and 35 RBI in 72 games with Buffalo this season. He made his major league debut earlier this year with the Mets going 1-4 (.250) in four games from April 24-29.

Dow CEO Andrew Liveris Makes Case for Low-carbon Economy
December 2, 2010 | Alex Scott
Andrew Liveris, chairman and CEO for Dow Chemical, says world leaders must take action now to enable the world to adopt a low-carbon economy. Liveris was among several executives, including Muhtar Kent, CEO of Coca-Cola Company, and politicians, including Felipe Calderon, president of Mexico, to debate business's role in climate change at the Business Action for Climate 2010 meeting at Cancun, Mexico. Executives at the meeting said that the clean economy can be the engine of global economic recovery by reducing energy expenditures through energy efficiency...

Can the Devil Read My Mind?
from R.C. Sproul Oct 09, 2015 Category: ArticlesI am not certain by any means, nor do I have an exhaustive knowledge of the powers of Satan. I know that Satan has more power than one would normally find among human beings. At the same time, I know that Satan is not divine; he is not God, does... Keep Reading

Saved by Grace - Ligonier Leadership Conference (IX)
from Keith Mathison Oct 21, 2009 Category: Articles"When we exalt God's holiness and put man in his rightful place, we magnify grace." --Steve Lawson, "Saved by Grace," Ligonier Leadership Conference. It seems to be common knowledge among "enlightened" Christians that grace is somehow exalted when we soften the holiness of God and diminish the wrath of God, while at the same time elevating our view of man. As Dr. Lawson reminds us in his lecture today, the exact opposite is the truth. Keep Reading
Resembling God - Ligonier Leadership Conference (VIII)
from Chris Donato Oct 21, 2009 Category: Articles"Mankind is made to resemble God. What, then, does it mean to be made in the image of God?" --Ligon Duncan, "Created in God's Image," Ligonier Leadership Conference. The question quoted above is that which Dr. Duncan sought to answer throughout his second discussion at the Ligonier leadership conference. His answer was full-orbed, challenging, and thought-provoking. Among the many great points, one in particular stood out: "We are to represent God's ownership and interests in His creation." How glorious--and yet so daunting. Keep Reading
Indwelt by Christ - Ligonier Leadership Conference (VII)
from Nicholas Batzig Oct 21, 2009 Category: EventsIn his second address, Dr. Ferguson drew attention to the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 8:1-17. One of the first things that we must recognize as we approach these verses is that there is a peculiar temptation to read what the apostle Paul says about the work of the Spirit in terms of the need we have for personal growth, rather than as a statement of the fullness of blessing we have in Christ.

Wherever the Word Is, There Is God - Ligonier Leadership Conference (IV)
from Chris Donato Oct 20, 2009 Category: EventsDuring His temptation in the wilderness nothing less than the messianic kingship of God's anointed was at stake. We see this especially with respect to the temptation involving "all the kingdoms of the world" (Matt. 4:8). Who was the real prince? Jesus or Satan? Ultimately at stake, then, was victory over Satan's kingdom by the kingdom of God. Keep Reading
The Godness of God - Ligonier Leadership Conference (III)
from Robert Rothwell Oct 20, 2009 Category: EventsLike many people, I did not grow up in a Reformed church, and Calvinism was often used as a dirty word in some of the churches I attended. Although when I was younger I often concurred with that evaluation of Reformed theology, I have to admit that I did find myself wrestling with those biblical passages that portray the absolute sovereignty of the Lord. I also wondered how God could truly be called God if, as I was often taught, He "limited" His sovereignty so that He was not truly in charge of the decisions of men and women. Keep Reading
Religious in All Things - Ligonier Leadership Conference (II)
from Nicholas Batzig Oct 20, 2009 Category: EventsDr. Sproul opened the Ligonier leadership conference with the words of Acts 17:16-28, the well-known account of Paul in the Areopagus. When Paul came into this city, instead of being overwhelmed by its art or Aristotelian philosophy, he was rather distressed in spirit over the idolatry in the city. Paul made a statement that was dripping with sarcasm: "Men, I see that in all things you are very religious." He was not commending their attempts at worship, he was showing them the futility of their idolatry. They were essentially religious idolaters. Keep Reading

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Burn boss Matt Madariaga decided it was a go Friday morning. Every answer on his long checklist of criteria was "yes." The wind and weather were right, three woodlands fire trucks and backup water supply were on hand, and a trained interagency fire team was standing by.
So Madariaga, a regional fuels specialist with the Bureau of Land Management, said the time was right to torch 90 acres of brush at the Price Canyon Recreation area.
Before noon, flames were reducing undergrowth and deadfall to ash and sending a plume of smoke high into the sky.
The reason for this prescribed burn, and for future ones on the BLM's Recreation Area, is a buildup of pine needles, pine cones, shrubs and Gambel oak that are nothing more than fuel for a wildfire, Madariaga explained.
Getting rid of the debris on the ground makes it safer for the tall ponderosa pine trees that adorn the forest land around the campground.
Brad Washa, the BLM's state fuels specialist, said that the thick-barked "pondos" survived a bug attack that killed off other species about five or six years ago.
That thick bark also makes the tall trees fire-resistant to some extent. At least they won't be harmed by a carefully controlled fire, where fire hoses can keep the flames from spreading to the needles and branches.
Washa explained that the burning away of dead or unwanted low-level plant life is a good way of recycling nutrients in the soil. Those elements and minerals will nourish grasses that will grow in the shady areas below the pondos.
It does not take much to get 90 acres going up in flame. Cigarette butts and campfires do that all too often.
However, it takes some skill and planning to burn only 90 acres, no more, no less, and to burn only what plants have been targeted.
It takes a handful of ignition people, armed with drip torches loaded with a gasoline-kerosene mixture. The spouts of the torches dribble the flaming fuel on the small plants.
The igniters know the paths they are supposed to take, how far apart they should be from each other, and all are trained and equipped to handle mishaps.
In other words, this is no stroll in the woods, especially as the smoke begins to make the throat burn and eyes water.
Backwoods fire trucks follow the igniters, ready to send a stream of water out to protect them and the ponderosas.
There are also experienced and trainee fire fighters on hand from the BLM and Forest Service.

Each year United Way of Southeastern Utah recognizes one volunteer from Carbon and Emery County who gives selflessly of their time to serve their community. This year United Way recognized Stockton (the first pet volunteer recognition) and his handler Darlene Erni of Emery County's recipient and Sherill Shaw of Carbon County.
The opportunity to recognize the volunteers was sponsored by the College of Eastern Utah's Health and Wellness Center, Far West Bank, Volunteer Connections and donations from individuals who recognized volunteers in our community by sponsoring a candle in that volunteer's name.
The event was held at the College of Eastern Utah in the Alumni Room and United Way presented checks for program support to Community Nursing Services and the CEU Health and Wellness Center. The funding is part of United Way's annual Community Care Fund Giving Campaign that kicked off on September 8 and runs through January 2005.
For more information on giving, volunteer services or volunteer recognition contact Pamela Juliano at 637-8911 or 1-800-250-SERVE (Emery County only).
Emery county recipient Stockton, has been a volunteer for seven years. As a volunteer he spends time with children at Cleveland Elementary and senior citizens at Turnquist in Emery County. He is part of the Active Re-Entry PAWS program and his owner handler Darlene Erni have given voice to a community of seniors and individuals with disability who may feel they have no purpose in life when in fact the handlers and pets feel they are receiving as much or more from the service they provide. Stockton has been nominated for the Governor's Points of Light Award.
Sherill Shaw has volunteered with the Helper Arts Festival for three years, two as festival chairperson. "Countless hours of coordinating and communication are spent on raising the necessary funds to organize one of the most successful community activities in Carbon county," says Pam Juliano.
The 2004 festival was the most well attended festival in recent years. Sherill credits that to her outstanding team of volunteers that helped coordinate everything from city collaborations to featuring artisans both local and regional and featuring quality musicians, excellent food, youth art and literature.

(4) In recent years, large quantities of Hass avocados have been imported into the United States from other countries.
(5) The maintenance and expansion of markets in existence on October 28, 2000, and the development of new or improved markets or uses for Hass avocados are needed to preserve and strengthen the economic viability of the domestic Hass avocado industry for the benefit of producers and other persons associated with the producing, marketing, processing, and consuming of Hass avocados.
(b) Purpose
It is the purpose of this chapter to authorize the establishment, through the exercise of the powers provided in this chapter, of an orderly procedure for the development and financing (through an adequate assessment on Hass avocados sold by producers and importers in the United States) of an effective and coordinated program of promotion, research, industry information, and consumer information, including funds for marketing and market research activities, that is designed to—
