A reclamation project to close 22 abandoned uranium mines in Emery and Grand counties has been slated to begin in September.
The project will seal 22 open uranium mine portals in Labyrinth Canyon along the Green River northwest of Dead Horse Point State Park.
The work is part of the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining's abandoned mine reclamation program.
"The mines in Labyrinth Canyon and surrounding areas became active during the uranium boom powered by the Cold War and the U.S. government's promotion of uranium prospecting, purchasing and stockpiling of uranium ore for making atomic bombs and energy during the late 1950s into the 1970s," explained project manager Ken Wyatt.
Although eliminating public hazards posed by open mines is the prime objective of the Labyrinth Canyon project, historical and cultural resources will be preserved during the reclamation work, according to the state agency.
"Because most of the mines have limited access, work is expected to last for several weeks beginning in mid September," added Wyatt. "This means our contractor will have to close them in much the same way the original miners developed them, by using picks and shovels to place material back into the mine openings."
The 23-year-old abandoned mine reclamation program works statewide to abate public health and safety problems created by past mining practices.
The project is an ongoing part of the division's reclamation program and is funded by a per ton tax on current coal production at mining operation locations across the state of Utah.

Buzz: Jets Interested in Falcons Director of Personnel David Caldwell
Here's a new name for the list, via Jay Glazer on Twitter.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
The Caldwell in question is not Jim, but David who is just now finishing his fifth season with the Falcons as the director of player personnel. Caldwell does have some ties to the Colts though, where he was a youngster learning as a scout for Bill Polian. When Dmitroff took over in Atlanta, Caldwell spent 2008-11 as the Falcons college scouting director, helping GM Tom Dimitroff draft well over that period with picks like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Sean Witherspoon and even the now surging Sam Baker. Caldwell was promoted last offseason to replace Les Snead, who left to take the top job in Saint Louis.
Caldwell would be an interesting candidate, but he's already interviewed at Jacksonville and will interview with the Chargers soon.
I like to see that the theme that's emerging so far from the Jets is that they are trying to peel off a younger candidate for the job from a more consistent and successful program. Gamble with the Niners, Ross with the Giants, Caldwell with the Falcons … they all have that common thread between them.

By now you've probably watched the new House of Style episode a bajillion times (lord knows we have!), and if you're anything like us, you might've finished the 9 minutes and 43 seconds of awesomeness thinking, "Man, I want to see even MOARRR Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls being cute at Paris Fashion Week!" Well friends, you're in luck. We've got some extra clips to hold you over until our next episode straight from the Carine Roitfeld MAC event in Paris. Karlie and Joan got all dolled up in their Carine-inspired smoky eyes (which Karlie said was one of her top fall trends on the Today show this morning!) and chatted it up with guests including model Cara Delevingne, designer Alexander Wang, and Vogue Japan editor-at-large (and H&M collaborator!) Anna Dello Russo.

Comments about Five Ten Water Tennie River Shoe (Men's):
I am a whitewater canoeist and love my 5.10 water tennies. The stealth rubber soles are the best for gripping wet rock. The sizes run a little small, and it is especially tight in winter gear when I wear a wool sock, drysuit, and nylon sock over that. I would consider buying a full size up next time. A downside to the incredibly sticky soles is that they wear quickly. Mine are only about 6 months old, and the heel loop used to help pull them on has already had the stitches pop loose from pulling the shoes on. Despite all this, they are the best shoe on the market IMO, and when they wear out, I plan to buy another pair.

If you are tired of unsure footing while hiking your boat on wet steep rock surfaces then this is the shoe for you. Whether you are looking to run up Oceana with a kayak on your shoulder for lap two, or just have some solid support for hiking up the creek bed for scouting, this is your shoe. I've been paddling with them for almost 3 years now and I have forgotten what it is like to worry about losing grip. If taken proper care of these booties will last, but if they do start to deteriorate on you 5.10 is good at honoring their warranty.

Comments about Five Ten Water Tennie River Shoe (Men's):
I use these for whitewater kayaking. They are the best bootie that has come out in a long time. They are low profile so they fit well in a boat yet provide good support and great stickiness. I actually have two pair - one for the summer and one for the winter when I have a lot of layers (drysuit feet and big socks) on my feet. The summer pair is the same size I wear for street shoes and the winter pair is one size larger.

I have been doing this for 40 years........I am neither a test pilot or hero. Its simple, if you dont have landing minimums, don't take off. Anyone really HAVE to get there that bad?
Amen again! I still like the basic 135 minimums, 2 engines or less, 1 mile vis., 3 engines or more, 1/2 mile. And for those of you who haven't had a real engine failure shortly after takeoff, congratulations, and in a single the survival odds are in your favor. In a piston twin, unless you do everything just right they certainly are not. So why complicate it by not being able to see? And if you really want to think safety, part 135 takeoff minimums are published and readily available. And they are airport specific, i.e. terrain, obstacles, etc. The old adages about old pilots, bold pilots, and all that's legal, isn't necessarily safe will serve you well. Accident statistics won't if they are yours.
Well said!
Personally, I won't takeoff if it's below 200ft and 1/2 mile visibility unless it's a really thin layer with an alternate above minimums nearby. The Cessna 310 crash at PAO (Palo Alto, CA) 2.5 years ago that killed 3 Tesla Motors employees is a big reason for that. I was based at SQL (San Carlos, CA) at the time of the crash and remember the weather that day and can't imagine taking off in that, especially on a 2400ft runway with no centerline lighting. The NTSB's probable cause was essentially spatial disorientation: http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=20100217X24906&key=1
That's what I kept telling my pilot as we were hooked up to one of the forward catapults, night, IFR: "Hey, this is stupid".
Nobody listened, however. 'course, the only obstacle then was 70' below us:)
I came across Bill Butler post over a year old and had to laugh out loud. Similar circumstance: Flying form on a Delta Sierra wx night at 200' stepped down. Both a/c were broken. Lead had good navigation and we had good weapons systems. I broadcasted on guard " hey Skipper, this is stupid". He agreed and we RTB'd.
In addition to accounting for obstacle clearance, not usually a problem from where I fly out of, is emergency procedures. Can I execute a safe return to my airport or an alternate?
True zero zero is just plain scary. If you have trouble driving to the airport wait.
Let us not forget that even though part 91 has no published minimums if the DP has a ceiling and or visibility minimum stated they do apply to part 91 operators.
A lot of people think Part 91 could do anything, if that was the case there would be no Part 91...
Well, I guess we have all made a gut check in times past and broke out pretty quick, plane's flying good and all is cool, but wherever you fall in here and whatever you get by with, with this old boy, there is always a little bit and at times a whole lot of pucker factor, along with a lot of prayer. Unless pressed real hard, I never had a real good feeling lining up a centerline and not being able to see the other end of the runway. That said, I only remember one time when the boss man said we really needed to go and it was bad trashy; we did; all was fine but we didn't break out til about 8 grand. He was in the jump and I got to see him wipin' sweat and breathing a sigh. He informed me that I was the pilot and not to listen to him aagain, at least about that.
Since ODPs are always optional for Part 91 (although I'd agree you'd almost always want to follow them in LIFR), the only case I could see the DP minimums being regulatory is if you were assigned a SID with ceiling/visibility in the takeoff minimums and I can't think of an example (at ELP - they say "standard" minimums and give a specific climb gradient for some runways). For part 91, there are no standard minimums, so I believe only the climb gradient would apply.
I never leave an airport I cannot get back into legally using an approach off the departure end of the runway of on the departure itself . . .
I'm not being paid to fly so ALL takeoffs are totally optional.
If you can get to the runway and find the centerline you are good to go.
I don't think I'd ride with a pilot whose minimum was " it's to foggy to find the ac".
But that's just me.
Remind me not to fly with you.
[This poster has been suspended.]
its also legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
think about it while ill tell you no im not flying with you because you're an idiot.
Well, if it was a thin layer and I had a 1/4 or so on the ground, all other things considered, I'd probably go, but as with most others here, if it was too crappy to land, I'd probably stay on the ground. Meetings can be rescheduled. Lives can't. I can only remember one time when the boss man said we really need to go if we can. It was a tad less than that 1/4 on the ground and was kinda thick on top. I eased out and we broke thru at about 8 grand. He was sitting in the jump. I looked around as we broke out to see the sweat and hear a sigh of relief. He told me then not to listen to him anymore.lol
Think that some of these comments are not made by ones who have been around the airfield very much as have seen airliners take off without much vis. The return to airport quite often isnt an option due to layers but seems they go.
Commercial ops. have a takeoff alternate
...the premise of your response notwithstanding, you have no sense of decorum.
Prudence wins Phil...
Some countries in Europe publish minimum take off criteria for specific airfields - not that that would worry you over there
The question ought to be "What are your [Personal] IFR takeoff minimums? , in which case there can be no argumentative comment. Just a bunch of us shaking our heads in disbelief.
Personal Minimums are lifesavers for non professionals who don't fly 40 hours a month or so and don't encounter difficult situations frequently. Getting away with a risky take off or IFR approach a few times will embolden a pilot to take more and greater risks until the day comes when he encounters cumulo-granite clouds. Circling minimums for take off and approaches are just good sense if you don't do it every day.

POINT BLANK Q&A: Matt Martin
Earlier today I had a chance to talk to one of the Isles heart-and-soul kids, Matt Martin. He currently leads the league in hits with 97 and played on a line with Nino Niederreiter and Marty Reasoner last night in Buffalo. When Niederreiter laid into the Sabres' Nathan Gerbe, Martin was right there to step in and protect the youngest player on the team (video in the post-game report).
No news to report today, as the Islanders had an optional skate at the Coliseum after flying back late last night from the game in Buffalo. Martin, Niederreiter and Travis Hamonic were among those skating. No updates on Andy MacDonald's status, expect to hear that from Capuano tomorrow.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The BIG EAST Conference formally announced on Friday, July 25 that the 2015 Baseball Tournament will be held at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (TDAPO) on May 21-24. New York Life is the presenting sponsor for all BIG EAST championships for the second consecutive academic year.

CARTHAGE With no one to speak at the public hearing, the village Board of Trustees amended the zoning map to place two parcels in the vicinity of Alexandria Street known as the Braman property in an R-3 residential district.
The Thousand Islands Area Habitat for Humanity recently expressed interest in redeveloping the former Braman Manufacturing Co. property for housing. The Carthage Industrial Development Corp., which owns the Alexandria Street property, voted at its May 15 meeting to proceed with the project. The village Planning Board approved the zoning change for the property at the recommendation of John F. McHugh, the village economic development coordinator and CIDC board member.
Mr. McHugh suggested the planning board rezone the 3.75-acre Braman property from industrial to R-3, since it is too small to house any industry without affecting the bordering residential areas. The site, between Boyd Road and Alexandria and Adelaide streets, is bordered by an R-3 zone on three sides and the railroad. That zoning classification allows smaller residential building lots.
Planning Board Chairman Sean P. McHale said the change complies with zoning laws and conforms to housing in the area. Habitat for Humanity seeks to develop up to six homes in the area.
According to Mr. McHugh, now that the zoning change has been approved, Habitat will be able to initiate the subdivision approval process during the fall with the possibility of beginning construction during the 2014 building season.
At its July 24 meeting, the CIDC committed $25,000 to match the amount pledged by the Development Authority of the North Country to aid the material costs associated with site improvements and infrastructure.
During Mondays meeting, trustees also adopted a resolution regarding a state Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) declaring there would be no adverse environmental impact associated with the change in zoning.

What to Know About Surgery for Bile Duct Cancer
Surgery is commonly used to treat bile duct cancer. It is currently the only treatment that can sometimes cure bile duct cancer in people whose cancer has not spread. However, if the cancer is too far advanced to be able to completely remove the cancer, a palliative procedure may be done. Palliative procedures may be used to improve a person's situation by providing relief from pain and other symptoms, as well as to treat or prevent complications.
The type of surgery your doctor chooses depends on the exact location of the cancer and how far it has spread. Here are some surgical options for bile duct cancer:
Removal of the bile duct. If you have a small tumor that is confined to the bile duct outside but near the liver, called perihilar bile duct cancer, the surgeon may remove the entire bile duct. The surgeon will make a new connection to your small intestine, allowing the bile to flow again. If the cancer has spread to nearby tissues, usually the liver, the surgeon may need to remove part of that tissue as well. Your surgeon may also remove nearby lymph nodes and examine them for signs of cancer.
Partial hepatectomy (also called liver resection). For this operation, the surgeon removes the part of your liver where the intrahepatic bile duct cancer is found. This may also be done if cancer is in the hepatic duct very close to the liver. A large or small part of your liver may be removed. The surgeon may also remove some surrounding normal tissue to be sure that all the cancer is taken out.
Whipple procedure (also called pancreaticoduodenectomy). If the bile duct cancer is very close to your pancreas, you may need this surgery. For this procedure, the surgeon takes out your bile duct and your gallbladder, along with part of your pancreas, part of your stomach, and the first part of your small intestine.
Surgical biliary bypass. If the surgeon cannot completely remove the bile duct cancer, he or she may do a bypass to lessen symptoms caused by the cancer. For example, if the cancer is blocking the bile ducts and bile builds up behind the blockage, surgery can help relieve the obstruction. During this operation, the doctor will connect your bile duct to a piece of your small intestine. This will create a new pathway around the blockage to allow the bile to flow to your intestine for normal digestion of fats. This surgery does not cure the cancer, but it can relieve jaundice and other symptoms. It may precede other types of treatment.
Liver transplant. Liver transplant in selected patients can cure over 50 percent of patients with a 5-year follow-up.
Questions to ask your doctor about surgery for bile duct cancer
You may be overwhelmed with the information that you receive from your doctor. It is important to take the time to gather as much information as possible. To help understand the medical information and remember all of your questions, it is helpful to bring a family member or close friend with you to doctor's appointments. Here are some questions you may want to ask your doctor about surgery for bile duct cancer:
What kind of surgery can I consider? What option do you recommend for me?
Are there any other treatment options besides surgery?
What will happen if I don't have the surgery?
Will it cure me of the cancer?
How will I feel after surgery?
Will I need radiation and chemotherapy before or after surgery?
Where will the scars be? What will they look like?
When can I get back to my normal activities?
How will surgery affect my diet?
What kind of follow-up care will I need after surgery?
Will I need other treatment after surgery?
What to expect after surgery
Surgery for bile duct cancer is typically a complex operation that can have major side effects, so it is important that it is done by a surgeon with a lot of experience. After surgery, you may be in an intensive care unit. There you can be watched closely by nursing staff. When you have recovered from the surgery, you'll be moved to a regular nursing unit to continue to recover. Care after surgery is called postoperative care. It focuses on monitoring how much you eat and drink and checking for the return of normal bowel function. These are some potential side effects or complications after surgery:
Infection at the incision site
Poor wound healing
Blood clots
Leakage at the bile drainage site
Nausea or vomiting
Problems with digestion
If you or a family member have been diagnosed with bile duct cancer, you may want to consider getting a second opinion. In fact, some insurance companies require a second opinion for such diagnoses. It is very rare that the time it will take to get a second opinion will have a negative impact on your treatment. The peace of mind it may bring may be well worth the effort.

I'm having trouble with my X-server. It will not start after updating Ubuntu 64bit. I've tried with removing the partitions and rewriting the MBR and then clean install it without success.
Tried the same thing with OpenSUSE, same result.
Funny enough, or not, my 64bit XP-installation works perfect (on same hard drive as Linux).
Nota bene: I have NOT changed the hardware or couplings or anything else for that matter. It was the update that made the X-server to refuse starting. Another thing, I also tried to install the previous version of OpenSUSE which DID WORK before and made sure I wasn't connected to the internet, just to prevent it from downloading any new stuff. But it still doesn't work!!!
I do put root, home and swap on different hard drives in order to get higher performarance.
Any idea what has happend?

Some users have worried aloud whether or not the Unlocked Sony Ericsson Aspen Windows Phone 7 marketplace will have enough apps available to satisfy the app-craving users of smart mobile devices. It now appears that this question has been answered, and the developer community is getting behind the Windows Phone 7 project. Today, the company announced that they already have more than 2,000 apps that will be available in the marketplace. Initial worries about developer support seem to have fallen by the wayside as the interest in developing applications for the platform has skyrocketed in recent months.
The announcement came on The Windows Phone Developer Blog, a blog that is geared toward increasing interest in developing for the platform. News that the marketplace has already been populated with 2,000 apps is a big sign that the marketplace will continue to grow quickly as developers attempt to expand the number of platforms that their apps are available on.
The 2,000 mark is double what the company was hoping to have secured at this point. The Marketplace is currently open for developers to submit applications to. Currently there are a total of 13,000 registered developers for Windows Phone 7, which first launched on Monday. Users that have already purchased their Windows Phone 7 devices should be elated to hear this news because it means that they can expect more apps to be rapidly added to the marketplace in the coming weeks as Microsoft attempts to sift through the submissions.
Success of the Windows Phone 7 platform will depend heavily on the ability of the company to garner interest in developing for it, and this announcement seems to suggest that Microsoft has been doing a good job of that. It will be interesting to watch the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace grow in the coming months as more devices are released for the platform.
PureMobile carries a wide range of unlocked cell phones and Android phones such as Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Motorola Milestone Unlocked, HTC Desire etc…

The Assumption Greek Othodox Church Annual Greek Festival will begin at 11 a.m. Friday. This is the church's big fund drive of the year, and for many years it has attracted visitors and support from across the county and state.
In addition to food, the two-day event will feature dancing, entertainment and tours of the church. The festival will run until 9 p.m. Friday and midnight Saturday.
During the early decades of settlement in Carbon County, the church served as the central point of the Greek immigrant community. While for some of the miners, railroad workers and ranchers, the American Dream was to make money and then go back to Greece, the church provided the stability and cultural familiarity that enabled many to feel at home here. They stayed, raised families and became a vital part of the Carbon community.

Posted by john on Sun, 12/17/06, 09:47pm:
Good rule of thumb: bank on nothin' in 06/07…
Because of the 05/06 Clips stellar, consistent defense, I blindly assume we are still one of the better defensive teams in the league. Yet here we are – having given up >50% FGs to our last 4 opponents, including today's McGrady-less Rockets. We rank a disgusting 22nd in the league in FG% against. And it's glaring - we don't rotate, our help defense is non-existent (Kaman, nice game, but I'm looking at you). Our perimeter D, never a Clipper strong point (though with Q on the floor, generally proficient), is now bordering on abysmal. Ironically, the much maligned Dunleavy offense has of late found life, with great balance this afternoon, some very nice possessions and a bit more patience in running sets. If it's not one thing…
The Good:
- No Sam? We Can Find Points Cause We're F'in Talented – Shaun paced us with 21, while Kaman, Brand, Maggette and Mobley each had at least 14. We need players to step up and make up for Sam and the occasional Brand offensive "lapse" (i.e. <20 pts). We got that. There's still a lot to complain about in our half-court sets but we are talented enough to play our predictable, "isolation-offense" and put points on the board. So yes, even against a strong defensive team, we can score. Be nice to see us grow more offensively (surely, Dunleavy Sr., you have some tricks up your sleeve)… but we can get the job done within our current system.
- Shaun Livingston (all growns up) – Directing traffic, driving to the basket with confidence, draining the short pull-up, finishing, defensive intensity… he's put together a string of games that should be making everyone a believer. Today he went for 21p / 9r / 6a / 2s / 1b - very nice line, Shaun.
- Chris
Kaman – I think rockin' the white headband has really worked out for him. The main thing to love today was Chris'
energy and passion. His head (for
Chris) was in the game, looking to attack Yao,
playing with confidence, and rebounding very well. Just extremely active on both ends of
the floor. He has some of the
prettiest low-post moves in the league, and he unloaded the powerful
offensive arsenal at his disposal. If
he can just learn to take care of the ball, and rotate on D, we could have
a helluva force in the middle for years to come.
The Bad:
- Corey Maggette – I'm a Corey guy and he had a nice game, especially considering he's still not 100%… but doesn't he look completely out of sync on almost every offensive set? Is he held out of practice, so he can enter a game with no clue of how to space? Only by sheer force of will and immense physical talent does he make something out of nothing so consistently. I'm not sure what the Dunleavy gameplan is with regard to utilizing Maggette, but he has to find a way to better leverage a Top 50 talent within his system.
- James Singleton – weirdest DNP of the night considering TT got hurt beginning of the 1st quarter.
- Aaron Williams – sir, please join us, we're still waiting … oh and try to not get completely owned by Howard next time we play these guys…
- Everyone Is Hurt – Maggette is still ailing (I think he's looking to drive less in part because of the Achilles, also limited his minutes today), TT (knee) and now Q (back spasms) are gone, Sam's got the plantar fasciitis...
The Ugly:
- Rafer Alston!? Guy shoots 37% FG for the season, career 38%… sure, the Rockets space the floor well, but our perimeter D was ridiculously bad. Just simple things for which there is no excuse (e.g. Shaun'll go down to double Battier at the foul line, not pop back up fast enough to get a hand in the face of Alston; Maggette or Mobley getting lost on a switch leaving Battier / Head / Alston wide-open). Rockets had lost 3 in a row coming in without McGrady - Head and Alston stepped up, combining for a gaudy 40 points. Yao got his (as expected) and their backcourt production (Bonzi also notched 12 on 50% shooting) was the difference in this game.
- Rockets end up shooting 39-74 (53%), and a disturbing 8-17 (47%) from 3.
- Clippers were 2-6 (33%) from 3 – ugh, gross.
- Daniel
Ewing – he's been playing OK, but now has the
distinction of owning the single worst offensive possession in Clipper
history. In case you don't remember
it or missed it - 2nd quarter, 4:06 mark - Ewing dribbles in
circles at just below mid-court for about 15 seconds, eventually ending
the horror by turning the ball over (carrying). I mean, wow, just… wow.
To me, the afternoon served as yet another reminder that the
06/07 Clips are potentially a .500 team that will beat up on the little guys, and somewhat consistently
lose to the elite teams. Unless we can
learn to put together a complete basketball game (that's right, both ends of
the floor) we are very unlikely to make the playoffs. Sucks, but the rest of the West got better
while we took a slight step back and are now riddled with injuries. During his post-game
interview, Brand noted: "One of the
things that's missing from last year are energy, defensive rotations, and the
fire and will to win. We've got to get that back." That's more than one thing Elton (and
Clipperblog has a few more if you're listening) but yeah, basically, you're
spot on…
During the 4th quarter at Staples, jumbotron featured a Clips highlight reel (set to Gorillaz tune "Feel Good Inc"). As I sat there watching glorious dunk after block after dunk after block, I thought to myself "wow, I really, really love these guys, we're athletic, we have size, we have so, much, talent…" Season's still less than ½ over, and I think we're starting to show some signs. It's been a rough stretch and things are looking grim, so this might be wishful thinking - but I still believe in this team (with or without Iverson), our talent, and I think, at the end of the day, we have heart.
C'mon guys – let's get it together. Let's f'in do this.

LONDON (MarketWatch)—European stock markets ended a choppy session slightly higher on Wednesday, as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of a U.S. holiday, while also digesting news that euro-zone finance ministers failed to agree on conditions for further aid for Greece.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.19% closed 0.2% higher at 270.11, after swinging between small gains and losses.
Luxury homes in Europe

"I'm surprised by the lack of reaction over Greece. It's part of the two big issues at the moment—the euro zone and the fiscal cliff," said Richard Perry, chief market strategist at Central Markets in London.
An impending U.S. holiday might already be having some impact on investors in London and on the Continent.
"It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and investors are winding down a little ahead of that. The fiscal cliff seems to have dominated thoughts recently and markets rallied after we had good news on that over the weekend," he said.
"But markets have been fairly quiet since that reaction and we're in wait-and-see mode ahead of Thanksgiving and until [President Barack] Obama and Congress resume talks next week."
U.S. markets are closed Thursday and will see an abbreviated session on Friday.
U.S. stocks traded mostly higher on Wall Street, on the back of data showing initial jobless claims dropped by 41,000 last week to 410,000. See: U.S. stock indexes start with slight gains and See: U.S. initial jobless claims drop to 410,000
In London, shares of Johnson Matthey PLC JMAT, +1.25% dropped 5.8%, pulling back after the chemicals firm posted a 6% decline in first-half pretax profit on the back of lower metals prices. The company also flagged expectations for its second-half performance, saying it should be similar to that of the first half. See: Johnson Matthey H1 net off 6%; metals prices down.
Shares of Xstrata PLC UK:XTA rose 1.1% and those of Glencore International PLC GLEN, -2.70% picked up 0.7%, as European Union regulators moved closer to approving a merger between the two companies. See: EU 'very close' to clearing Glencore-Xstrata deal
And in Frankfurt, shares of Siemens AG SIE, +0.35% US:SI lost 1.3%, after Deutsche Bank cut its rating on the industrial conglomerate to sell from hold, citing portfolio issues and valuation reasons.
"Siemens has attractive world-class assets but also has businesses that it would probably not buy today if it did not already own them," Deutsche Bank's analysts said.
No deal on Greece
For investors, Greece was squarely back in the European spotlight.
Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker said early Wednesday morning that the region's finance ministers didn't complete an agreement that would clear the way for bailout funds for the country. A disagreement with the International Monetary Fund over how to put Greece's debt load on a sustainable path remains a sticking point. See: Another Greece decision delayed—a new pattern here?

Nearly 50 Russian children who are about to be adopted by U.S. families may be stuck in overcrowded orphanages if Russian President Vladimir Putin signs a ban on such adoptions, passed December 26 by the upper chamber of Russia's parliament. Russia's Federation Council unanimously approved the measure, which political observers say was passed in retaliation for U.S. legislation recently signed by President Obama that places travel and financial restrictions on Russians who have been identified as human rights violators. The U.S. law, called the Magnitsky Act, was named for Russian attorney Sergei Magnitsky, who uncovered a massive Russian tax fraud involving government officials. Magnitsky was reportedly beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009.
"The United States is concerned by measures in the bill passed in the Russian Duma that, if it becomes law, would halt inter-country adoptions between the United States and Russia and would restrict the ability of Russian civil society organizations to work with American partners," said U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell.
For their part, Russian officials have expressed their concern over the deaths of nearly a score of Russian adopted children who have died under the care of their U.S. parents, some of them from abuse and mistreatment. The Associated Press reported that the Russian bill is named in honor of a Russian infant, Dima Yakovlev, who died in the United States in 2008 after his adoptive father accidentally left him in an enclosed car for hours on a hot summer day. "The father was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter," reported the AP. "Russian lawmakers argue that by banning adoptions to the United States they would be protecting children and encouraging adoptions inside Russia."
Over the past couple of years there have been a handful of news stories that supposedly highlight the casual attitude some American parents have shown toward their adopted Russian children. One of the most notorious cases occurred in 2010, when an American woman reportedly sent her adopted son back to Russia alone on a one-way flight, claiming that the seven-year-old had exhibited violent outbursts that caused her family to fear for their safety.
Russian lawmaker Mikhail Margelov, one of the bill's sponsors, said the bottom line is that Russian children "must be placed in Russian families, and this is a cornerstone issue for us." He added, however, that the bill was also "a natural and a long overdue response" to the U.S. law targeting Russian citizens.
One Russian children's rights advocate, Pavel Astakhov, who approves of the measure, said that foreign adoptions discourage Russian families from adopting children in the country. "A foreigner who has paid for an adoption always gets a priority compared to potential Russian adoptive parents," Astakhov said. "A great country like Russia cannot sell its children." The measure would allow foreign adoptions only if a Russian family does not express interest in a child.

The integrated Translink public transport system is both highly efficient and good value. The computerised SkyTrain (light rail) has six underground downtown stops as well as an elevated track. Its latest addition, the Canada Line, now connects downtown to Vancouver International Airport. The Translink system also includes buses; electric trolley buses; West Coast Express trains (weekdays only) and SeaBus passenger ferries that connect downtown to North Vancouver. The network reaches every part of the city, including the beaches and ski slopes. After midnight the regular bus system is replaced by a limited 'Owl' night bus service on main routes. Fares are based on a zone system and tickets are valid for buses, the SkyTrain and SeaBus with transfers valid for 90 minutes from the time they are validated. Taxis are easy to come by at taxi stands, hotels or by telephone, but can be difficult to hail outside of the downtown area. Vancouver's traffic and road network is fairly well-ordered, but hiring a car is not necessary in the city because the public transport is more than sufficient.
GMT -8 (GMT -7 from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November).
Electrical current is 110 volts, 60Hz. American-style flat two-pin plugs and a plug with a third round grounding pin are standard.
The currency used is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). Banks and bureaux de change will change cash, as will some hotels. Major credit cards are widely accepted and ATMs are widespread. US Dollars are largely accepted.
The international access code for Canada is +1. The outgoing code is 011 followed by the relevant country code. The outgoing code is not necessary for calls to the US and the Caribbean. Internet cafes are widely available. Most international mobile phone companies have roaming agreements with Canadian operators, however it will be cheaper to buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card if visiting the country for long periods.

The Canada Line, part of the city's AirLink network, connects the airport to downtown Vancouver in about 25 minutes. The service runs every 8-20 minutes and costs roughly C$10 to downtown. Scheduled buses are available to downtown Vancouver, Whistler, Vancouver Island and Washington State. Courtesy shuttles transport passengers to the Long-Term Parking Lot, South Terminal, local hotels and other destinations near the airport. Public bus services to Vancouver, Richmond and further afield are available at the Airport Station Bus Terminal; information on schedules and fares is available at TransLink, Tourism InfoCentres and Customer Service counters in both terminals.
Car hire companies Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Hertz, National and Thrifty are represented next to the terminal building on the ground floor.
Metered taxis are available around the clock outside the terminals. Look for the green signs which indicate a taxi pick-up position. Taxis charge around C$27 for the 30 minute journey into downtown. Price and journey time is higher during rush hour. A tip of 10 to 15 per cent is expected.
The two main terminals are within walking distance of each other, a courtesy shuttle is available to the Airport South terminal.
Both terminals have ATMs, bureaux de change and a bank. There is a selection of bars, restaurants and fast food outlets scattered throughout the airport, as well as a variety of shops, including duty-free, baggage storage and a medical centre. Children's play areas and a nursery are also available.
Vancouver International Airport offers a range of parking options in the parkade directly opposite the terminals. Hourly parking starts at C$8.00 per hour, but reduced daily and weekly rates are also available. The cheaper economy lot is within short walking distance from the terminal, while the long-term parking lot is conveniently connected to the terminals via a shuttle bus.
Wifi is available free of charge throughout the airport.

LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Ethos/IFCC (5340 N Interstate Ave., Portland, OR)
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:When completing college applications, Damaris Webb identified her race as "other." This label also applies to her solo show, which fuses dance, sock puppetry and metafictional storytelling. In the absence of easy description, "delightful" will have to do. In a quick hour, Webb addresses the muddy topic of diversity with grace and dexterity. Even more commendable, she avoids diatribe. A simple chest is the entire set, but Webb traverses states with her Baptist grandparents on their move to Oregon. She travels to South Africa and a Minnesota bathhouse. She weathers discrimination and Thanksgiving dinners, all the while drawing out details to transport the audience as well. We hear the gum-smacking stylists at her Dominican salon in Portland and the buzz of lakeside mosquitoes in Minnesota. But The Box Marked Black doesn't follow a traditional narrative arc. While bouts of interpretive dance at first seem confused, they serve to break up what might otherwise plod. Puppets, too, provoke skepticism, but Webb's mini re-enactments of the television miniseries Roots are well placed. The weirdness is compelling enough that by the time Little House on the Prairie, Roots and Barack Obama share the stage, it's charming. Taking the audience on an endearing personal journey, Webb goes beyond the uncertainty of "other."

Canon Genuine Optics are unparalleled in the industry. The same Canon experience and expertise that goes into precision lenses for 35 mm and broadcast TV cameras goes into every camcorder lens we manufacture. At Canon, we never compromise. The result is a lens with superb definition and exceptional contrast.
The powerful 11X optical zoom lets you capture your subject with razor-sharp detail even from a distance. The powerful 220X digital zoom takes you even closer, revealing details too small to see with the naked eye.
The 11X optical zoom gives you the same range of focal lengths as a 43.7-489 mm lens on a 35 mm still camera. Add an optional Wide Converter WD-H46 (Item Code: 9032A001) and you get the same wide view you'd get with a 30.6 mm lens on a 35 mm still camera. Add the Tele Converter TL-H46 (Item Code: 9033A001) and you have the same magnification power of a 733.5 mm telephoto lens on a 35 mm still camera.
And that's not the end of the Optura Xi's optical versatility. When capturing digital photos to the memory card, the lens becomes a 9X zoom, the equivalent of a 42.4 - 383 mm lens on a 35 mm photo camera.

Comments about Open Labs NeKo EX5 Keyboard DAW Workcenter:
My NEKO arrived malfunctioning. There were wires loose and at first a blank screen at Startup until I contacted the manufacturer and connected the wires. During startup I had a flipped screen and the RIFF program still shuts down on me in the middle of creating music. I'm in the process of getting help with this. But I believe it arrived with a bug or virus.
I would recommend this product in complete working order but stay away from level 2.
Comments about Open Labs NeKo EX5 Keyboard DAW Workcenter:
Besides the cost the Neko ex5 is the best all in one music keyboard workstation. It offers flex ability in what sounds you want and it enables yout to compose a full song without ever relying on other piece of gear. I like my Neko so much that I am going to purchase a Miko EC5 for more portability. The other advantage that this keyboard has over all the rest is it is a computer and all of it's components are upgradable including: motherboard, processor, cables, panels, power supply, Windows OS for future expand ability. I just had my upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit by Open labs tech support remotely.
The EX5 has a lot of good features. I love to use Riff for playing sound sets like piano or any of my vst instruments. It also comes with a user friendly DAW like Reaper. I like having the Master control surface built-in in doesn't take up additional space on my studio desk. The built-in alpha keyboard is handy for typing input data in your DAW as well as type lyrics or doing web searches.
Overall the quality of the firebox the gadgets including the case is well built and sturdy
Although the EX5 is pricy it is worth every penny. I've spent way more buying other gear like my to Macs, 3 Maschine, Pro tools keyboard, 3 keyboard workstations, clavinova, and much more! If, you are looking for a cheap solution or not limited in space then sure purchasing your gear in pieces may be less expensive.
Comments about Open Labs NeKo EX5 Keyboard DAW Workcenter:
The Ex5 made a great upgrade to my existing setup everything all in one i up loaded all my programs into it and it was ready to record out the box should have got one a long time a go
Comments about Open Labs NeKo EX5 Keyboard DAW Workcenter:
I purchased the Neko Ex-5 about a month ago and I love it! I recently switched over to VST instruments over the last few years and I always hated working from a laptop. With this keyboard I have everything in one box (pro tools, VST's sounds) and I can always add new programs, so the Neko will never be outdated. The large touch screen is great because I can physically touch anything on the screen (VST controls, Pro tools Mix Screen etc) and save time from always using a mouse. My Neko has yet to crash and seems highly optimized for my high intensity working environment. If you are a person that hates working on a laptop and longs for the old days of working on a single all-in-one unit, this is for you!

LISBON - The Lisbon Town Council adopted a $2.7 million budget for the 2014 fiscal year Thursday.
The budget, roughly $100,000 higher than the current years spending plan, includes an $873,480 tax levy, up from $838,776 in 2013.
The town is using $444,235 of its fund balance to lower the tax rate. Next years tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value is listed at $5.50, down from this years $6.29 rate.
Driving the overall spending increase are the towns fire and library districts. The fire district is raising $172,950 in taxes in the 2014 budget and the library district is due to take in $52,600.
The town also gave 2 percent raises to employees including the Lisbon Beach and Campground director, town justices, court clerk, town clerk, highway superintendent, assessor, code enforcement officer, attorney, dog control officer, sewer superintendent, public works director and youth program coordinator.
Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong and town councilors did not receive a raise in this years budget.
The council had voted to increase the salaries for the bulk of the town employees in September but waited until Thursdays meeting to include the campground director and youth program coordinator.
Mr. Armstrong proposed the raises for the final two employees and there was no opposition.
The town council is moving ahead with plans to advertise the position of campground director at some point in the near future, said Councilor Alan D. Dailey. The council is considering restructuring the management of the campground to include a director of the beach, a director of maintenance and an overall foreman instead of one campground director.
Councilor Susan M. Duffy said that could mean the position of campground director would not require as many hours per week.

Read: Michael Sauer Is Symptom Free
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that Michael Sauer has been symptom free for the last couple of weeks.
Brooks says that Sauer is doing light activity, like riding the stationary bike, but that he isn't close to returning.
In the case of Marc Staal, he started to do light workouts and a week later started to skate on his own.
About four weeks after that he was cleared for contact and a week later he played.

New Year's Eve is unquestionably the most hyped night of the year, which is why it's essential that you wear something fantastic whilst celebrating! That being said, we also understand the kind of pressure and stress that comes with putting together a truly memorable look, which is why we've decided to bring you a very special NYE version of WWW Picks. After all, you want to end the year with a sartorial bang, right? This year, we put together two very different to-die-for outfits that perfectly suit the occasion: one look is ideal for feminine dressers and the other is a super chic pants option. Whichever one you choose, we promise that all eyes will be on you when the clock strikes midnight!
As per usual, we turned to the runways for some guidance and found inspiration in two fabulous Resort 2012 collections: Prabal Gurung and Gucci. The former offered up plenty of glamorous outfit ideas for the uber-feminine types, our favorite being the Geranium Hand-Embroidered Sequined Crystal Tulle Chemise Dress ($9995, email@example.com). The look is everything you would expect from a NYE ensemble: sparkly and glamorous! Additionally, we love the strappy, vertiginous heels, which give the fancy frock some extra pizzazz. On the other side of the spectrum, we're also smitten with Gucci's slightly more subdued-yet equally stylish-ensemble, which consisted of the Wool Calvallery Bi-Stretch Jacket ($1950), Bronze Voile Lurex T-Shirt Top ($795), Cavallery Stretch Riding Pants ($1250), and black patent leather High Heel Pumps ($525). The tailored separates give the outfit a chic and polished look, while the shimmering top brings just the right amount of glitz, resulting in a well-balanced ensemble fit for a cool, downtown girl.
Look 1: Inspired by Prabal Gurung
Now that you're familiar with our designer references, it's time to talk clothing! First, if you're searching for a high-impact ensemble a la Prabal Gurung for your NYE bash, we suggest creating an outfit with separates you'll be able to mix and match all year long rather than investing in one not-so-versatile glittery frock. To start, we like the idea of a statement-making skirt, like DKNY's Lacquer Paillette Mini Skirt ($275). Then, to prevent your outfit from becoming too loud or over the top, we suggest going for a neutral top; H&M's Mixed Media Top ($40, 310.855.9683) works well because it has a simple silhouette but the patent leather gives it a cool shine. The contrast of a noir top with the bright pink, paillette-adorned piece makes for an undeniably dazzling combination! To finish off the outfit, add a noir clutch with just a hint of sparkle, like Capsule by Joy Gyrson's Stingray Clutch ($850), and since you're skirt is going to be doing most of the talking, one standout piece of jewelry is all you'll need. We adore Kelly Wearstler's gold Pyrite Cluster Cuff ($445), which has a sleek design and brings in a subtle element of glitter. Finally, snag a pair of strappy heels, like Qupid's Drama Pumps ($40) in Black and you'll have a winning outfit in no time.

-Qupid Drama Pumps ($39.95) in Black
Look 2: Inspired by Gucci
Sequined skirts not quite your thing? No need to fret, we promise our second outfit will appeal to those of you who prefer a more masculin-feminin approach to dressing. To emulate Gucci's Resort 12 look, simply start with a metallic top, such as H&M's silver Metallic Short-Sleeve Sweater ($60, 310.855.9683), then add a streamlined blazer, like Club Monaco's Nina Tux Blazer ($269, 310.657.1818) and crisp white pants, like Vince's Zip Zip Pants ($220). To bring a hint of shine to these pared-down basics, consider snagging an eye-catching necklace, such as J. Crew's Feathered Crystal Necklace ($158) in Apricot Mist and complete your outfit by accessorizing with a one-of-a-kind clutch; we think Mango's Chains Clutch ($130) is perfect because of its cool chain detailing. Finally, a simple-yet-chic pair of pumps, like VC's Signature Prue Heels ($225) in Black, will round out this modern take on NYE dressing perfectly.-Erin Fitzpatrick

If I have a budget of $400 dollars for the month and write checks for $2000, that puts me in the hole $1600. Who has to pay this off? I do.
If President Bush writes checks for $400 billion dollars more than the U.S. can afford, who has to pay for it? I do. You do. Our kids do.
I don't think President Bush has been fiscally responsible and I have yet to see a plan from his camp showing otherwise.
