SIA Flashback – The Harrah Automobile Foundation: A Look Into the Collection's Future
For a while there, it looked like Bill Harrah's impressive collection of automobiles would be no more. Unbelievably, he made no provisions for the continuation of the collection after his death in 1978, and the new owners entertained the idea of breaking the entire collection apart, scattering it to the four winds. Of course, we know now that Nevada Governor Robert List stepped in and helped form what is now the National Automobile Museum in Reno in 1989. For SIA #88, August 1985, Arch Brown sat down with List and discussed the process of transforming Harrah's collection into the museum we're familiar with today.
Four-Links – stolen Citroën, save this Minor, Franz Ferdinand's car, hot rods gettin' dirty
* I don't want to make this a regular feature of the Saturday Four-Links, but this is the third week in a row we've come across a stolen car while putting the Four-Links together. In this case, it's a 1987 Citroën 2CV, taken late last month from Rossendale, Lancashire, UK. There is a reward.
* Even though our cash for clunkers program is over, Britain's appears to still be going on, and one of the cars turned in was this 1958 Morris Minor (Britain's program had no upper age limit for clunkers). The good news: It won't be scrapped. The Hyundai dealership that took it in and the scrapyard that was authorized to crush it both decided it shouldn't be destroyed. The bad news: Britain's c4c legislation prevents it from being sold abroad or put back on the road, so it'll become a museum doorstop, should some museum swoop in and save it. Still better than the alternative.
*True story: The other day, I was reflecting upon the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and realized a) I didn't know what kind of car he and Sophie were shot in, and b) I didn't know the fate of that car. Then, queer coincidence, I came across this post on A Thing For Cars that answered both of those questions. Perhaps the curse of Franz's Graf & Stift is reaching through the Internet to get me… (photo via Wikipedia)
* A few weeks ago, we had a link to a vid of an old-school custom drifting in Finland, and now we've come across a link of several old-school hot rods kicking up dirt at an event in eastern Germany. We approve.
* Finally, from Eddie Stakes, a brief story of a 1978 Concord AMX that served as a jackpot car at the Reno Harrah's casino. Unfortunately, Eddie doesn't know the fate of the car – anybody out there happen to win big in Reno in the late '70s who can fill us in?

Ray Lewis falls to his knees on the field and quotes Scripture in interviews and dances and cries and prays.
It's hard not to wonder about this guy.
Ray Lewis falls to his knees on the field and quotes Scripture in interviews and dances and cries and prays.
It's hard not to wonder about this guy.
What's with him?
Kelly Gregg chuckled at the question.
The Oklahoma native has seen the linebacker's antics up close. He spent 11 years in Baltimore, starting on the Ravens' defensive line and playing alongside Lewis.
"There's a TV Ray," Gregg said, "and then, there's a work-week Ray."
That's a familiar refrain when you talk to guys who have played with Lewis — and in this state, we have several of them. They say that the animated showman who the world sees on game day morphs into the consummate professional the rest of the week.
But as Lewis prepares to retire after a 17-year career — he says the Super Bowl will be his last game — the focus is on the strut-dancing, face-painted persona.
Billy Bajema spent seven years in the NFL before joining the Ravens this season, and what he knew of Lewis before was what the rest of us know.
"What you see on TV and in commercials," the former Westmoore High and Oklahoma State standout said.
Now, the first thing that pops to mind when Bajema thinks of Lewis is the linebacker's leadership.
"The things he says to the team, the way he plays and the passion the he does everything ... aren't just for the cameras," said Bajema, who's become a blocking tight end for the Ravens. "That's why the team rallies behind him and why his leadership really works.
"It's authentic."
Trent Smith witnessed that during a two-year stint in Baltimore. The former Sooner was drafted by the Ravens in 2003, and he worried about being a newbie in the same locker room with Lewis.
Would he punk the rookies?
Would he want to fight?
Turned out, those fears were totally unfounded.
"Guys like Ray — guys who are always trying to get better and all they care about is winning — there's no singling out," Smith said. "You were drafted. You are on his team. He expects the best from you."

As writer Ernest Hamlin Abbott once put it, "rumors are not news; but they sometimes foreshadow news."
And, boy, have the rumors ever been stacking up concerning Google's next Nexus device, even though Google's expected to be saving any official news about it until their October 29 event.
Still, between the speculation that the new Android phone will be LG-made, the pictures, and even a premature review, we've already learned quite a bit about the upcoming Nexus 4.
And today, a new leak from retailer Carphone Warehouse revealed pretty much everything else, right down to the LG phone's specs, price and expected release date.
Advertising pre-orders for the phone, Carphone Warehouse has listed a price of £389.95. And their description boasts that the new smartphone has a 4.7" LCD display, and "the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet," Android OS 4.2 Jelly Bean, as well as some new features:
"Search gets smarter with Google Now. You ask. Google answers, instantly, and with all the detail you want... Stay in touch with Gesture Typing, a faster way of typing that lets you spell words by dragging your finger across the screen from letter to letter."
Meanwhile, Carphone Warehouse sets October 30 as the start date for delivery, just one day after Google's event. Though, after this last and possibly most comprehensive leak, there isn't much Google could tell us about their latest smartphone that we don't already know.

Companion forum thread to:Mountain SuperUltraLight Backpacking â Going SUL in the Mountains with Adequate Shelter, Insulation, and Rain Protection. Part 3: M-SUL Base Weight Gear Lists
Another great write up. Thanks!
Do you happen to know Will, from your gear list software or whatever, what a complete set up would cost?
+1 on the Cost Curiosity question
4 breakfasts x 7 oz + 5 lunches x 10 oz + 4 dinners x 7 oz = 106 oz total (3005 grams), not 70.2 kg (70 oz) of food for five days are clearly not enough.
Edited by joarr on 06/05/2013 08:11:56 MDT.
"2 kg (70 oz) of food for five days are clearly not enough."Depends on the person. Metabolisms vary significantly. Mike C! has thoroughly tested food weights and advocates (last I checked anyway) 1.2 lbs (or 19 oz) per person per day. 5*19 = 95 oz, but that assumes you need 5 full days of meals. Most people don't carry/eat breakfast on the first day and dinner on the last day, so really it's more like 4.5 days of meals for a 5 day trip. 4.5*19 = 86 oz Mike C! doesn't worry about caloric density either. You can do better on weight by using dense foods.Will is older, and while quite active, isn't going to need as many calories as say Andrew Skurka. Most backpackers can also spare a few pounds of body fat and don't need to depend on the food they carry for survival, especially on shorter trips.

Scratching my head at the 'Maximum of 1 liter of water carried'....
I love this series because it "takes it to the limit". Hikers have nothing else to do so why not make each camping task more time consuming or less comfortable to save weight. But I suggest that there is no net benefit (joy, mileage, comfort...) to going so low with pack weight.When I was designing backpacks using the kids in my Boy Scout Troop as guinea pigs, I stumbled upon an interesting metric. The 12 kids varied in weight from 110 lbs to 220lbs. But they all had no problem hiking (mostly flat trails in Texas) with a total load under 30 lbs. Cutting down to 20lb made no difference in their performance/fun/stumbles. (under 20 is impossible with Boy Scouts) But going over 30 lbs made most of the scouts (big and small) very tired very fast and they tipped over a lot. It was not a percentage of body weight... it was 30 lbs.I believe that if you keep your total added weight under 30lbs your hike will be a success. I speculate that it relates to humans evolving carrying their kids around for safety/speed/etc. When the kid gets to 30lbs he can survive on his own two feet.
"Scratching my head at the 'Maximum of 1 liter of water carried'...."I never carry more than 1/2 liter
Looks like I made a math error. Will get it corrected asap. 1.5 pounds of food per day is just right for me when hiking hard. I eat less the first 2 days then eat more the remaining days. Every hiker needs to determine the amount of food needed for his metabolism. Water is abundant in the mountains where I hike so 1 liter is enough to carry. Every hiker needs to make a judgment call on how much water to carry for his needs and situation. Best, Will
A few basic items appear to be missing. Soap, Map, Compass, car key...Including TP DEET and sunscreen in your lists but no soap really caught my eye.Also a liter of water by definition is 1Kg or 1000g not 998g.
"Also a liter of water by definition is 1Kg or 1000g not 998g."Depends on temperature. At 20°C, 1 liter is about 998g.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water#Density_of_water_and_ice
Soap? I haven't taken soap on a trip in years.It is certainly okay to smell a bit and don't forget THIS IS A SUL ARTICLE!!!!
Davey,The soap has nothing to do with smelling nice it has to do with wiping your ass then stuffing the same hand into your food bag. There are many articles (some on this site) that show most intestinal distress in the back country is from bad hygiene practices not bad water.
Use a leaf. And spork.
Bloody hell Ryan Jordan!!! This is what you're willing to publish?2 grams off on a liter of water??!! And I thought you were a PHD or dentist or life coach or something.No soap or car key listed??!! Keep your hands outta my M&Ms and back off. And not listing your car key on the spreadsheet is dishonest. This ain't Wall Street Ryan Jordan; go back to Bear Stearns with Will and your phony accountants. Think of the example you're setting for your Scouts and Countrymen.No map or compass??!! You're not just putting your own life at risk. Think of all those that could die looking for you. Flagrant disregard for others. Will, I'm putting you in touch with Dale immediately for some 10 Essentials training.An otherwise solid article is ruined now. Completely ruined.Children could be reading this. For shame, Ryan Jordan, for shame. Will, I trusted you.
Edited by xnomanx on 06/05/2013 22:36:54 MDT.
Craig,I should have know better that post a comment on a site populated by fanatics. The weights in Will's most excellent article are listed down to thousandths of an ounce or tenth of a gram. To strive for such accuracy and leave out essential items seems like an over-site to me. And yes, I DO consider soap, map, compass and car key essential. After all I would like to be able to return home at the end of my trip.
I often don't bring a map or compass in areas I am very familiar with. Many people leave their keys under a rock or stashed on the car frame. My present vehicle was purchased specifically to include a keyless entry system so I can hide the key inside where it would be difficult for a thief to find. You don't need soap for a weekend trip. Do you think the soldiers that go through survival training are issued soap?The concept of light, UL, SUL, etc. is to maximize the one critical piece of equipment -- the brain.Relax -- it's just walking.
Craig, you forgot: Human Sacrifice, Dogs and Cats living together... Mass Hysteria I agree that it seem some on this forum have an 10 essentials kit the probably weighs more than Wills list.And Nick I agree with the key thing- I lock mine in the car and have a spare attached to the frame. I do take soap for my #2 clean up, I don't use TP and kind of have an issue with cleanup. I guess water and some pine needles or the like would work. But for less than a ounce- I'll take the soap.Compass and map- there are some areas of the cascades that I don't need a compass/map. I have been on many trips where either never came out. But I always take it if there is even the slightest chance I'll have a issue (which means 90% of the time- I like to change things up)
"The soap has nothing to do with smelling nice it has to do with wiping your ass then stuffing the same hand into your food bag."On solo trips, you can generally do away with soap. If you are not infected with anything, there is no reason to anticipate being infected with something through feces or urine. Sound's kind'a gross, but, this is a scientific fact. If you have ever had new-born puppys around, you know that it is common for them to eat their own feces. They do not die from this behavior. Nor does a mother get sick from cleaning up after the young ones. Even if a person were to have something already, there is only a few that can reinfect the same person...and it doesn't matter because that person is already infected with whatever disease/parasite (though some tapeworms, and other types can double infect...I am assuming a healthy person to start.)It is Human to Human that transmits diseases. You cannot get a new disease from anything your own body produces. It is the other guy you have to watch out for.

The North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation obliges the Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation to "periodically address the state of the environment in the territories of the Parties."
To meet this obligation, the Secretariat has developed this report—The North American Mosaic: An Overview of Key Environmental Issues—with the support of environmental reporting experts from the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States. This report describes current environmental conditions and trends across North America. The breadth and diversity of the subject are astounding: from tiny invasive zebra mussels to global greenhouse gases measured by the teragram; from the last remaining vaquita porpoises to vast expanses of boreal forests and marine ecosystems; from invisible molecules of toxic chemicals to the all-too-visible smog and haze that blanket our cities from time to time.

A seminar was held November 3 and 4, 2008, arranged by the National Gallery of Denmark in collaboration with The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Denmark and supported by the International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art - INCCA.
Day 1 - Program and presentations
Day 2 - Program and presentations
The Conservation and Curatorial Department at the National Gallery of Denmark and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Arts, was organisers of an international seminar Permanence in Contemporary Art - Checking Reality addressing various critical issues surrounding the preservation and exhibition of contemporary artworks in November 2008.
The seminar, which encouraged interdisciplinary exchange between museum professionals including conservators, art historians, artists and others, and took place in conjunction with "Reality Check", a exhibition at the National Gallery of Denmark. "Reality Check" acted as a thematic springboard for the seminar, addressing issues related to content, material, time, exhibition and context exemplified by works in the exhibition. The seminar encouraged participation and dialogue by curators, artists and conservators alike.
The seminar aimed to contribute to the growing international professionalism and awareness associated with the preservation, installation, documentation and exhibition of contemporary artworks. The meeting provided a forum for discussing crucial questions regarding authenticity, permanence/impermanence, artistic intent, reproducibility, and longevity of artworks – issues which illustrate the paradox into which contemporary art is situated, where the idea of preserving the 'authentic' original material is perhaps in distinct opposition to the original concept of the artwork. Or where conversely a literal acceptance of ideas of flux and instability inherent in certain works may compromise the existence of the original material object.
Also the conservation and curatorial concerns relating to time based works and installations, which are especially challenging, were addressed.

Accidents happen. And if you're involved in one, you'll need to file an auto insurance claim. Even a minor accident can be unsettling, so taking a few minutes now to understand the claims process means fewer problems later when it's time to file your claim.
Before doing anything else, check the accident scene and confirm that no one was injured. If there are injuries, dial 911 immediately.
Share Info with the Other Driver
Start with your policy number and your insurance company's phone number—you'll find them on the proof-of-insurance card most states require you to carry in your vehicle. Then exchange names, addresses, and phone numbers with the other driver. Remember to write down the other vehicle's make, model, and license plate number, along with the number of passengers and an overview of the damage to each vehicle. Our claim worksheet helps you gather all the info you'll need throughout the claims process—print one to keep in your glovebox.
If you're already an Allstate customer, download Allstate® Mobile for on-the-go accident support, including a built-in accident checklist to help start a claim moments after a collision.
File a Report
Depending on where the accident occurs and the extent of the damage, you may be required to notify law enforcement and fill out an accident report. If you're not sure about the rules where you live, contact your insurance company.
Contact Your Insurer
Once you have all the accident info—and you've filed a police report, if required—contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report your accident and any damages. You have a few options in how to file a claim, click on Report a Claim from the left hand side to file online, click on Report a Claim from your Allstate Mobile app, call your Allstate Agent, or dial 1-800-Allstate. Your insurance company will tell you what documents and information you'll need to file a claim.
Every insurance company handles the claims process a little differently. At Allstate, we understand that resolving your claim as fast and efficiently as possible is your top priority. With 24/7 claims support, local drive-in centers, and one of the country's largest teams of claims professionals, we're here to make the claims process as easy and convenient as possible.
In fact, we may be able to cut you a check in minutes at one of more than 920 drive-in claims centers.
It's important to understand your repair options before making any decision about where and how to get your car repaired. The following steps, though, will help you understand the ins and outs of the claims process and what you can expect from your insurance company, agent, and adjuster (the professional who investigates your claim and recommends a settlement amount).
Schedule an Inspection
You'll need to get the damaged vehicle inspected to determine the cost of repairs. This usually means visiting an auto body shop (your insurance company may recommend a specific shop or shops in your area) for an estimate of the repair costs, including both parts and labor.
Speak With an Adjuster
Your insurance company's claims adjuster will objectively review all the available information—your vehicle's damage, accident/police reports, witness statements—to help determine fault and then provide a cost estimate.
Get Your Car Ship-Shape Again
As soon as the claim has been filed and coverage has been determined, we can help get you on the path to getting your car repaired. Remember that rental coverage on your policy may pay for all or part of a rental car while your car is getting fixed, so be sure to check your coverage.
Depending on your coverage, damages (minus your deductible, of course) may be covered regardless of who's at fault. If the other driver's at fault, your insurance company will work to recover your deductible amount from the other driver. If you're at fault, your insurance company will handle any claims covered under your policy for damages to the other vehicle you are legally obligated to pay.
Get Up To Date Status on Your Claim
By registering with My Account you can also view your Claim Status. In Claim Status you can register for Direct Deposit, send a message and upload documents to your claim contact, view select claim documents, get payment information, and select an electronic communication preference.
For more info, visit our Guide to the Allstate Claims Process.
If you're already an Allstate customer, you can start your claim online, call us 24/7 at 1-800-ALLSTATE (1-800-255-7828) or contact your local Allstate agent.

Upcoming games: @ Flyers, January 2, 3:00 p.m.; Panthers, January 5, 7:00 p.m.; @ Penguins, January 6, 7:00 p.m.
Philadelphia Flyers (48 points, 4th place, 22-10-4)
Citizens Bank Park, the stage for the Superbowl of hockey is set. The Rangers and Flyers will face off in the Winter Classic tomorrow at 3 p.m. The start time was pushed back by the NHL to offer more optimal game conditions with another unseasonably warm weather forecast on the horizon. The Rangers are 2-0 against the Flyers this season. Ilya Bryzgalov, the Flyers $51 million dollar man in net announced he wouldn't be starting in net, awkwardly -- and unprofessionally -- beating Coach Peter Laviolette to the punch. Bryzgalov allowed 16 goals in his last four starts. Sergei Bobrovsky, who gets the nod in the crease tomorrow, on the other hand is 8-2-1 this season with a .914 save percentage. The Flyers enter the Classic on a high note after snapping a two game losing skid with a 4-2 victory over the Penguins on Thursday. Claude Giroux, Jaromir Jagr and Scott Hartnell continue to be a deadly offensive weapon. Hartnell is tied with Giroux for the team lead in goals at 17 and put up seven points in his last five games. A victory would tie the Flyers with the Rangers for first in the Atlantic Division.
Florida Panthers (47 points, 3rd place, 20-12-7)
The Rangers swiftly defeated the Panthers 4-1 last Friday in Florida. Hagelin, Richards and Del Zotto chased goaltender Scott Clemmensen out of the net after a three goal outburst in the first period. The Panthers got right back to work the next night though and defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in a victory that was marred by controversy. Panthers forward Krys Barch was ejected after reportedly directing a racial slur at P.K. Subban of the Canadiens. The league is still looking into the matter and the incident has not been confirmed by players on the ice, including Subban. Winger Tomas Fleischmann netted two goals in the win and has four points in his last five games. Goaltender Jose Theodore could potentially miss the next few games with a leg injury. He left the second period on Saturday after defenseman Dmitry Kulikov fell on him. The Panthers are expected to recall rookie Jacob Markstrom from the AHL. The Panthers are off until they face the Rangers on Thursday. The Blueshirts are 2-1 against the Panthers this season.
Pittsburgh Penguins (46 points, 5th place, 21-13-4)
The Rangers beat the Penguins 4-3 back on November 29 when they had just welcomed back their captain Sidney Crosby. The dynamic center is sidelined once again with concussion symptoms and hasn't played since December 5. Center Evgeni Malkin is leading the team with 43 points and 28 assists. Malkin was named the NHL's first star of the month for December after he tallied 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) in 13 games which included a nine game point scoring streak and a hat trick. The Pens offense couldn't solve Martin Brodeur and the Devils though losing 3-1 on Saturday. Their second straight defeat came days after a 4-2 beating at home against the rival Flyers. The Pens have the fifth best power play and penalty killing unit in the league. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is second in the league with 19 wins. He's 3-2 in his last five starts and allowed five goals in the Pens latest straight losses. They are 5-5 in their last ten games.

John M. Pinkerton didnt have to look far when hiring a permanent city planner.
Mr. Pinkerton, city manager, promoted Andrea L. Smith, interim director of planning and development, to the permanent position, effective Jan. 1.
It is a position that needs to be filled, and we had someone who is bright, energetic and already knows the job, he said. She is by far the best candidate available for the job.
Along with the permanent position, the City Council will take up a resolution to give Ms. Smith a raise.
Based on how well shes done, theres no doubt in my mind that Andrea is a winner and the city won by keeping her permanently, Mr. Pinkerton said.
Last year, the council voted to raise her salary to $44,250 from a $36,250 base. Any additional pay will come from the citys Community Development fund, which recently received a windfall from the auction of public property.
Ms. Smith has served as interim city planner for the past 14 months, overseeing progress in three waterfront initiatives: the Brownfield Opportunity Area, the Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan and the areawide planning program.
Weve entered a new stage working on the waterfront, she said. Were working concentrated on the BOA and wrapping up the EPA areawide planning grant.
Ms. Smith, along with consultants, also is updating the citys Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan and has worked with the Planning Board over the past year on revising the citys zoning ordinance.
Her next project is retooling some of Ogdensburgs streets and intersections to make them pedestrian- and bike-friendly.
There is a grant proposal were working on for the St. Lawrence County Health Initiatives Complete Streets program, she said. This is something the city and the community have been interested in, addressing sidewalks and bike lanes through our development of gateways and corridors.
If the city receives the grant, Ms. Smith suggested the city would focus on improving streets in the Marina District.
With the new bridge and the improvements that were made, were really hoping the marina district area will become an area to do some implementation, she said.
In October 2011, J. Justin Woods resigned to become executive director of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance. At the time, Ms. Smith was working as a program manager for the citys Brownfields Opportunity Area program, but then City Manager Arthur J. Sciorra appointed her for the interim.
Ms. Smith is a native of Ogdensburg and a graduate of Ogdensburg Free Academy. She holds dual masters degrees in urban and regional planning and landscape architecture, as well as a bachelors degree in landscape architecture from Virginia Tech. She also acts as executive director of the Ogdensburg Growth Fund and Development Corp.

Quiet NYC
NYC can be surprisingly quiet. Shocking, I know. Oh, the wonderful NY Public Library's designated quiet zones. Perfect for super heroes to sneak up on villains.
This and other images are included in a slideshow I made on Kirtsy today. Check it out here.
My goal: To give a sense of the slower, more serene side of the city.
How'd I do? Where do you go to escape all the noise this city generates? If, of course, you don't have a beach house in the Hamptons.

New Source Review (NSR) Permitting
Fact Sheet -- New Source Review: Emission Increases for Electric Generating Units
- On April 25, 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed further options to change the emissions increase test used to determine if the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program would apply when an existing power plant makes a physical or operational change.
- The proposed changes would affect only the application of the NSR program to existing electric generating units at power plants. The units generally are fossil fuel-fired and produce electricity for sale.
- On October 20, 2005, EPA proposed to replace the annual emissions increase test with an hourly emissions test. The hourly emissions increase test would be used to determine whether planned changes at an existing power plant would be subject to emissions control requirements under the major NSR program. The proposed hourly emissions test was similar to the hourly emissions test in the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) program.
- The October 2005 proposal included three alternatives to the annual emissions test.
- This action builds upon the October 2005 proposal by:
- refining the originally proposed test options;
- proposing a new test option;
- analyzing the impacts on control device installation, emissions, and air quality that would result were we to finalize either of the proposed options; and
- including proposed rule language.
Refining Test Options Proposed in October 2005
- The October 2005 proposal requested comment on three alternatives for the hourly test to determine if a change at an existing unit would cause an emissions increase including:
- a maximum achievable hourly emissions test,
- a maximum achieved hourly emissions test, and
- an output-based hourly emissions test.
- This supplemental proposal recasts these proposed alternatives so that the output-based test, instead of being an alternative to the maximum achievable or maximum achieved hourly tests, is a way to measure the hourly emission rate.
- EPA requests comment on whether the regulations should include an input-based test – one that sets emission limits based on the amount of fuel burned – or an output-based test – emission limits per unit of electricity produced. The output-based emissions increase test encourages fuel efficiency and pollution prevention, which are key Agency goals.
Proposing a New Test Option
- EPA is now requesting comment on two options to be used when determining if NSR requirements would apply to an existing EGU making a physical or operational change, including a new option that was not included in the October 2005 proposed rule.
- In its October 2005 proposal, EPA proposed an hourly emissions increase test alone, where EPA would remove the annual emissions increase test in the current regulations and an EGU would be subject to NSR if the hourly emissions would increase.
- In this supplemental, EPA is including a new (and preferred) option. Under the new option (referred to as Option 1 in this Supplemental Proposal) the current annual emissions increase test that is presently used is retained and applied in those situations where an EGU's hourly emissions would increase.
- In other words, under the new option, if a physical or operational change would not increase an EGU's hourly emission, major NSR would not apply. If an EGU's hourly emissions would increase, then projected annual emissions would be reviewed using the annual emissions increase provisions in the current rules and an EGU would be subject to major NSR if the annual emissions would increase but not if annual emissions do not increase.
- Under both options EPA is proposing several alternatives for measuring hourly emissions.
- These proposed modifications to the NSR program would promote the safety, reliability, and efficiency of EGUs. The proposed hourly emissions test for EGUs would allow changes that improve facility safety, reliability, and efficiency while maintaining national and local air quality.
- The analyses compare expectations for EGUs to install pollution control equipment to comply with EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule, Clean Air Mercury Rule, and Clean Air Visibility Rule (CAIR/CAMR/CAVR) in 2020 with the proposed hourly emissions tests. The analyses also compare emissions and air quality impacts under these two scenarios.
- These analyses show that by 2020, either of the proposed options would result in:
- more EGUs installing emissions control equipment than they would to comply with CAIR/CAMR/CAVR. The hourly emissions test would allow units to operate more hours each year. The more hours a unit operates, the more likely it will be to control emissions.
- essentially no changes in national emissions of the major pollutants emitted by coal-fired power plants – sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
- The analyses project very little impact on local emissions. There would be a shift in where local emission increases and decreases would occur compared to what EPA project's without the proposed rule. These shifts would be small and widely distributed. The small shifts would not affect local air quality compared to what EPA projects under CAIR/CAMR/CAVR for 2020.
- EPA will accept comment on this supplemental proposal for 60 days after this notice is published in the Federal Register. See below for more details on how to comment.
- Congress established the NSR program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments and modified it in the 1990 Amendments. NSR is a preconstruction permitting program that assures the dual goals of maintaining and attaining air quality and providing for economic growth. These goals are achieved through installation of state-of-the-art control technology at new plants and at existing plants that undergo a major modification.
- For existing major stationary sources, there is a two-step test to determine whether the modification is subject to preconstruction permit review. The first step is whether there is a physical change or change in the method of operation. The second step is whether there is an emissions increase. The current NSR program measures an emissions increase by comparing actual annual emissions to projected annual emissions.
- When EPA proposed revising the NSR emissions test for existing EGUs in October 2005, it was in part in response to a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit Court in United States v. Duke Energy Corp., in which the Fourth Circuit held that EPA must read the 1980 Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations to contain an hourly test, consistent with the New Source Performance Standards regulations.
- On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated that decision, finding that such a reading of the 1980 PSD regulations "was inconsistent with their terms." The Supreme Court, however, indicated that EPA may be able to revise the regulations to contain such a test when, as here, it has a rational reason for doing so.
- The Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and other programs will lead to significant further reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions from the power sector. Both the October 2005 proposal and today's supplemental proposed changes to the NSR program would complement the CAIR requirements by allowing efficient implementation of these programs and eliminating administrative barriers.
- Interested parties can download today's final rule from EPA's NSR web site at: www.epa.gov/nsr.

Ok, so you do the Signature Club thing and ask for the strings you that you'd like supplied...why can't the DGT strings be one of the choices? I have several unused packs of 11s from my various membershipping joins. I don't use a wound third - so, the strings just sit around until I remember to pick apart the pack for the usable ones.
That said, I received my Sig Club pack today! Pretty cool...except for the strings.

DERBY – Local businessman Grant Spates is an experienced member of many different boards and now he would like to be a member of the Derby Select Board. Long-time member Karen Jenne has opted to not seek re-election for a three-year seat, leaving an open place.
In a recent interview, Spates was critical of some of Jenne's actions as a board member. Jenne was an opponent of the proposed industrial-sized wind turbines on two farms in town.
Spates said she should have kept her personal opinions on the back burner as an elected official and he questioned the appropriateness of Jenne's actions. Spates said he would support a town-wide vote on residents' opinions of wind turbines, and thinks the vote should occur at Town Meeting. He feels that if surveys were mailed out instead, only people who feel passionate would return them.
For more on Grant Spates' run for a seat on the Derby Select Board, see Tuesday's edition of the Newport Daily Express for Feb. 5, 2013.

This creamy combination of two fave pasta sauces uses shortcuts (like cream cheese spread and purchased pesto sauce)—a clever way to serve an impressive dish in no time!
- COOK pasta as directed on package, omitting salt. Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 7 min. or until done.
- STIR in milk and cream cheese spread; cook 3 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended. Add peppers, Parmesan and pesto; stir. Cook 3 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
- DRAIN pasta. Add to cream cheese sauce; toss to coat.
Kraft Kitchens tips:
Substitute 1-1/2 cups roasted red pepper strips for the fresh red pepper strips.
For more intense flavor, stir in 1 Tbsp. lemon zest or 1/2 cup pitted dry-cured olives, along with the peppers, Parmesan and pesto.
Pesto is an uncooked sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, pignoli (pine nuts), Parmesan or Pecorino cheese and olive oil. This classic, fresh-tasting sauce originated in Italy and is a favorite on pasta and chicken dishes. Look for prepared pesto in either the refrigerated aisle of your supermarket, with the sauces and dressings in the produce aisle or with the jarred pasta sauces in the grocery aisle.

Opinion: The Sanchez Conundrum
Daniel Marcus
It appears as though this is it for Mark Sanchez, the quarterback who many used to refer to as the "Sanchize" has seemingly worn out all of the goodwill shown to him by this franchise over his nearly four-year tenure. With Rex Ryan's announcement that he will be the starter this week against Jacksonville, Sanchez is likely entering his final audition for the starting job and who knows whether or not his fate has already been sealed. I, like many Jets fans have wanted to and continue to want to believe that Sanchez can be a good starting quarterback in this league but unfortunately he has done nothing to justify that belief, it's more like blind faith. Why believe in someone who has been so uninspiring to this point, the answer is complicated but indulge me if you feel so inclined:
Brief Rehashing of History
In 2009 we saw a rookie in every sense of the word, making the mistakes characteristic of his experience but by the same token, we saw flashes of what could be of the guy the Jets traded up to take with the number five overall pick. That year, the coaching staff only asked him to play complementary football given that the team had the best running attack in the league by a wide margin. The kid showed room for improvement and a potentially high upside and us fans were full of hope and whimsy of what could be and when all the planets aligned for the team to sneak into the playoffs, Sanchez looked very much like the "Sanchize."
When the pressure and stakes were at their highest, Sanchez stepped up and played some pretty good football, albeit aided in large part by a dominant defense and running attack but he was making plays. As a rookie with really only a year of starting experience in college football, Sanchez took the Jets to the AFC Championship Game and had them in a position to make an improbable Super Bowl run until the wheels fell off and injuries derailed the would be "Cinderella Story."
The following year, the expectations increased given the success of his rookie season and a series of big name off-season acquisitions. Armed with the best supporting cast he could possibly ask for, which included a Super Bowl MVP and a First-Ballot Hall of Famer, Sanchez showed marked improvement. In fact he went his first five games without committing a turnover, while winning games in dramatic fashion and coming through in the clutch. The trajectory of his young career was still ascending, albeit with a lot of room still to grow but it looked as though Sanchez was improving and the on-field results bore it out.
The second-year quarterback led the team to 11 wins and a playoff berth and again he shone when thrust on to the big stage leading a come-from-behind win over the Colts in "Peyton's Place." He followed that one up with the last really great game the Jets have played by knocking off the vaunted Patriots in Foxboro. Here we go again, as Rex famously said "The Same Old Jets back in the AFC Championship Game" and although the defense decided not to show up in the first half, Sanchez played a great game and nearly led the team all the way back.
At this point, given how successful he had been in his first two years, Sanchez was destined to be a victim of his own success and many expected him to make that leap that so many quarterbacks in year three. After the first game in which, he out-dueled Tony Romo on Sunday Night Football on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, while leading the Jets to a thrilling comeback victory it looked like he was well on his way. Sanchez followed up that performance with a roll-over win against the lowly Jaguars and then things began to go south fairly quickly, although he did play pretty well the following week in Oakland.
Where Everything Changed:
Due to injuries and sheer ineptitude, the offensive line was as porous as it had been over the course of Sanchez's career and that game against Baltimore on Sunday Night will go down in my mind as "the day the music died" for Mark Sanchez. Never before in his career had Sanchez been under such constant pressure and duress, it was from that point on that we saw a different player, some may call it shell shock or loss of confidence but whatever it was, he has never looked the same if you ask me.
Ever since that fateful night in Baltimore it seems as though Sanchez has lost that edge and that belief in himself, the biggest thing you notice in terms of changes to his game post 2010 is that he has seemingly lost all sense of the pocket and is now devoid of pocket presence. How many times in 2010 did you see him sense the rush, step up in the pocket and create? Instead, a lack of confidence in his offensive line set him back last year. Granted, number six was never the most accurate passer in the league but his ability to protect the football that many like to talk so much about has been irreparably harmed by the loss of poise and pocket presence. I can't tell you how many times I have seen him unable to anticipate or sense the rush and cough up the football. Take away many of the fumbles last season and this team is likely in the playoffs.
2011 marked the season in which Sanchez's career trajectory started trending in the opposite direction and it has yet to recover. In fact, it looks as though he is back to square one making rookie mistakes. Last season many people gave the former first-round pick a pass given how poorly the offensive line had played and its inevitable effect on the offensive output. However, this season he has seemingly continue to regress with an improved offensive line but a rag-tag supporting cast devoid of any real weapon after Santonio Holmes went down with a season-ending foot injury.
The thing that is probably most disconcerting to Jets fans is how little the team really asks of him, i.e. convert first downs, manage the game, and most importantly, take care of the football. Taking care of the football has been a problem for Sanchez since he walked into the league but in what is his fourth season, he is committing turnovers uncharacteristic of even a rookie (see butt fumble). Let's leave the king of all football bloopers alone for a moment and focus on the most egregious turnovers, the red zone interceptions as well as interceptions in opposing territory. Such turnovers are enough to kill any team and are inexcusable for a quarterback with Sanchez's experience, this is what alarms most people and has caused fans, pundits, and perhaps the organization alike, to lose faith in him.
The Obvious Dilemma:
After the Thanksgiving debacle I was sure that I had seen enough to know that I had too much of Sanchez under center but after his benching and subsequent reinsertion into the lineup, I am torn. On one hand, how much longer can one watch the same thing over and over again, only to expect different results? It's obvious something has to change, but I am not 100% sure that it is the quarterback. A case can be made both ways because since 2010 the organization has not done him many favors in terms of surrounding him with talent or a cohesive offensive line. Couple that with the fact that the whole Tebow experiment has to have played with this psyche and confidence and it is for that reason I feel as though I could give him one more shot.
At this point I am willing to concede that he will never be an elite or even upper echelon quarterback but we know that as a complementary player, Sanchez can thrive but that means surrounding him the requisite weapons and players. It may be delusion, the aforementioned desire to believe, or simply an overwhelming aversion to starting over again and everything that entails but given his contract situation it may behoove the organization to build around their quarterback. It's safe to say that up to this point that stocking the offense with quality players has not been a priority of this team's hierarchy over the past few years and the quarterback has suffered as a result.
The leash is a short one for Sanchez, who given his contract will likely be around for 2013 but I have to believe that the Jets hierarchy will test his mettle by bringing in someone who is actually a legitimate threat to his job unlike Tebow who is more of a gimmick. There really is no clear answer as to what Rex and the Jets should do in terms of Sanchez and the quarterback position in general but I would expect a flurry of moves that revolves around restocking the offense and either signing or drafting some legitimate competition for the beleaguered Sanchez.
I can't think of a more frustrating or perplexing player because the flashes of greatness (four road playoff wins) are what really make me want to believe but there comes a point when you have to say "enough." Most Jets fans are at that point and as early as Monday so was I, trying to figure out a way to restructure his contract in order to find out the best way to jettison the second-most successful quarterback in franchise history. However, given the virtually iron-clad nature of the contract and the potential for him to respond and be resilient in the face of being benched keeps that sliver of hope alive.
In what will likely be billed as "Sanchez's Last Stand," the Jets take on the Jaguars in Jacksonville and we will see what this guy is really made of. To quote advice given to another train wreck, Charlie Sheen in the original "Wall Street": "Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss." Sanchez is staring directly into the proverbial abyss and we will find out his true character this Sunday at 1:00 PM.

Beloit College Head Baseball Coach Dave DeGeorge will serve as the featured speaker at the 2013 Beloit Snappers Hot Stove Banquet, which is set for Tuesday, February 5, at the Eclipse Center in Beloit.
DeGeorge joins the Oakland Athletics' Ted Polakowski, the Director of Minor League Operations, and Keith Lieppman, the Director of Player Development, as well as former Athletics' outfielder Ryan Christenson, the new manager for the Snappers.
The event marks the beginning of the Snappers' relationship with Oakland as the organization's Class A minor league affiliate.
"I am looking forward to speaking at the Hot Stove event," said DeGeorge. "My history with the Snappers goes back to the opening day for the franchise. Due to the Snappers affiliation with the Oakland A's, I plan to talk about our version of "Moneyball". Our take on "Moneyball" is very different from a professional team, but it is a concept that has been a huge part of our success."
Degeorge will be beginning his 23rd season with the Buccaneers this season. A 1989 graduate of Beloit College, DeGeorge has recorded more victories in his career (326) than any other coach in the college's long baseball history. He is the second-winningest head coach in Beloit College history, trailing only former Men's Basketball coach Bill Knapton. Entering the 2013 season, he has recorded over 90% of Beloit's victory count on the baseball diamond since the 1986 season.
He has guided the Buccaneers to the 2009 Midwest Conference Championship in 2009 and the MWC North Division title in 2011. Beloit has played in the MWC Tournament Championships game in each of the last four seasons.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks ended with modest gains on Friday, as a report that had consumer sentiment rising to the highest level in more than five years offset postelection worries about the so-called fiscal cliff.
However, the three major stock indexes posted declines for the week, with the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials suffering their worst week since June 1 as measured by their weekly percentage drops.
"It's hard to be enthusiastic buyers with uncertainty out there," said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
Week ahead: Earnings, economic data
Big corporate earnings and key economic data are out in the week ahead.
After a choppy trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.29% rose 4.07 points, or 0.03%, to end at 12,815.39, but it dropped 2.1% for the week.
This was Dow's third consecutive week of losses.
Boeing Inc. BA, -0.28% and Caterpillar Inc. CAT, -0.47% were the top gainers in the blue-chip index, rising 3.2% and 1.5%, respectively.
Walt Disney Co.'s DIS, +0.23% shares fell 6%, making the media conglomerate the biggest loser in the Dow and the S&P 500 after its quarterly revenue missed estimates.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.68% climbed 2.34 points, or 0.2%, to end at 1,379.85, but it declined 2.4% for the week. Technology led sector gains Friday, while utilities performed most poorly among the 10 industry groups.
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
