A major overhaul to a sewer outfall line in Sunnyside City is becoming a "necessary" project for the city to have fixed, according to Warren Monroe, a senior construction manager with Jones and DeMille Engineering.
For the second time in the last three months, Monroe appeared before the city council and spent time talking of the need for the sewer outfall line to be replaced. A survey done on the pipe showed problems that included cracks in the pipe, root balls and holes on the sides. There has been at least one incident where the pipe backed up and raw effluent began running out from the pipe, Monroe said.
Monroe said he has continued to talk with Rural Development for funding for a study, but currently nothing has come from it. The new fiscal year for Rural Development begins in October and Sunnyside City should be one of the first in line for funding, he said. Instead of waiting, Monroe said the city needs to submit an application to the Community Impact Board for a project to be done with the sewer line.
"We believe its time to submit an application to the CIB and make a project out of this," Monroe said. "We think we know enough about it and can justify making it happen now."
One possible drawback to getting the project worked on is that the sewer outfall overhaul is not on Sunnyside's capital improvement list, which the CIB looks at quite heavily, Monroe said. Support would need to be sought, including from Carbon County Commissioners, stating that Sunnyside has tried to fix the problem but to no avail. So far, Sunnyside has spent between $8,000 to $10,000 on cleanup of the outfall line and a camera viewing of the inside of the pipe.
"We tried and tried and tried other avenues to get some funding to study this line to figure out why it is having the problems," Monroe said. "Condition of the pipe itself is the real drawback. It needs to be replaced."
For a project like this, the state looks at the medium adjusted gross income of the community. Sunnyside's medium adjusted gross income is listed at $33,343, according to the last published figures from 2008. With that figure, the state calculates the affordability based on state standards that the income could afford a sewer rate of $38.90 and a water rate of $48.63. To reach those figures, the state takes all of the zip codes from Sunnyside and they lump them into a bracket, taking the middle of that entire group to create a figure for a utility.
"Those (rate figures) were a little shocking," Monroe said. "These are the guidelines, not the absolute gospel."
Currently the time for financing with the CIB is very good and the application for a project is due in September. Sunnyside currently has a sewer rate charge of $24, which is fairly high, Monroe said. Preliminary cost estimates for a possible project are in the range of $250,000 to $300,000, which is not a massive project by any means, Monroe said.
"The city has shown a good faith effort to try and remedy the problems, quite frankly we are striking out here," Monroe said. "If this was a $3 to $4 million project, it would receive some real scrutiny. Bottom line is it's a necessary thing for Sunnyside to have done and the sooner the better."
Sunnyside City Mayor Doug Parsons said the city needs to have a good cemented cost for the project before appearing before the CIB.
This project would need to be approached as an emergency type project, Monroe suggested. The CIB doesn't like to do things like that, but it's not unheard of, he added.
One of the main issues Sunnyside will have to present to the CIB is the sewer rate and how much of an impact it will have on the community if the rate is increased. The city should go after a 100 percent grant for the project, Monroe suggested.
Residents in the community would need to be informed of the project and the possible sewer rate increase and public support would be required for the project, Monroe said.
Most of the sewer line is in an area where not a lot of pavement would need to be restored and the new line would follow the old alignment. The project would need to have clearance from the state and would also include inspections such as having someone come out and survey the area for any threats to endangered species and plants, Monroe said.
After returning to the city council for the first time since June, Monroe again stressed that the project is a necessity for the city to have completed.
"We have come up empty-handed on money to study this thing. We think it's time to move ahead," Monroe said.
"I don't think we are really looking at much of a choice here," Mayor Parsons said.
"You're just kind of caught between a rock and a hard spot," Monroe said.
Mayor Parsons suggested to the city council that the application process be started as soon as possible. The council unanimously passed a motion to get an application started to be turned into the CIB.

Customer Reviews For Bravus II 8D Powered Subwoofer
- Crystal clear and precise sound!! S. Sanu
- I accidentally discovered this website one day while going through reviews on hometheaterreview.com and I became interested. But buying something you never heard as well as not having any local store that sells them is always a risk. However 30 day in-home trial with free shipping both ways is no brainer. When the Speakers arrived they were boxed very well. They come wrapped in the pretty nice velvet bag with gold drawstrings. Hooking them up was very easy - a subwoofer speaker cable that's it. There is an awful lot to like about Aperion Audio's Intimus speakers, especially the cost. The build quality is excellent, as is the attention to detail, such as threaded mounting points both bottom and back, gold plated binding posts. The High Gloss Piano Black finish is beautiful. It has such a perfect mirror finish. The drivers are of high quality and the resulting crystal clear and precise sound is one that is easy to love and listen to for hours on end. My setup is 2 5T's, 2 4T's, 5C, 2 4B's, and the 8D.
- Amazing! Paul G.
- I purchased this to go with my 5Bs front, 4Bs rear, and 5C, and it is simply stunning! When watching movies, it is like being at the Imax. If watching a concert dvd or bluray, it is like being there! The sound is so full and warm with music, it completely complements it. No boomy nastiness, just pure clean sound. I am a 50/50 music/movie listener and this setup is perfect for me. The finish and build quality of the sub is top notch, as is the service Aperion offers. Jason Hicks was a huge help to me in picking out the right sub and surrounds to go with my front speakers and amp. I am not even a week into my sub audition and this baby is a keeper!
- Bravus IIa 8D fits right in. Gary P.
- I purchased the new Bravus IIa 8D recently and it is fantastic! The Bravus IIa 8D is part of a 5.1 system including 533-T towers. I love the small form factor, but I was worried that the small size would have trouble filling my rather large open room (approx. 15'x27'). After I got it set up and dialed in I found it does a great job and is plenty loud for my room. It may be small but it really packs a punch. I primarily use the system for home theater viewing.
As usual the customer service is top notch and Jason Hicks helped me fine tune the settings to get it sounding just right.

Pro Reviews For Bravus II 8D Powered SubwooferWe're sorry, we don't have any reviews for this product yet
Single Active & Dual 8" Passive High-Excursion Custom Aluminum Drivers
We designed Bravus with dual custom aluminum drivers for efficient high-performance. One part rigid precision, one part low bass extension - shake well with a healthy helping of linearity, and you're left with three drivers to take your music and movies to new depths. Aluminum offers the perfect blend of strength and mass to keep the class D digital amp operating efficiently. Couple this with a heavy duty rubber surround and a precision motor structure and you get bass that is deep and linear. To make things even better, we packed three drivers in a small gorgeous enclosure so your Bravus 8" sub offers the performance of a larger sub but takes up less space.
Detachable Power Cord w/ Switchable Voltage
We make it easy to upgrade your cord or take your subwoofer on the road. No matter if you're in Los Angeles or Lisbon, you can easily switch between 110V and 220V power. Just plug in the correct cord, switch the voltage and enjoy. One caveat, though -- We're not responsible for international noise ordinances, so tread carefully and bring bribe money.
Line Level Inputs
Every Aperion subwoofer comes standard with an LFE line level input that connects to any receiver's subwoofer pre-out. Or, if you don't have a sub-out connection, use the left and right low level inputs with the low level outputs from your pre-amp or receiver.
High Level Inputs
Hook your new subwoofer up to any receiver or amplifier! If you don't have a sub-out connection on your receiver, you can use the left and right speaker outputs to make setup a snap.
Small Internally Braced ¾" HDF Sealed Enclosure
Powerful bass needs a sturdy cabinet. Every Bravus 8D subwoofer is built out of strong 3/4" HDF and internally braced to reduce cabinet vibration to nearly nothing.
Timeless Design & Furniture-Grade Finish
Each of our Bravus subwoofers features a timeless design aesthetic and is beautifully finished in high gloss piano black lacquer, allowing them to effortlessly blend into your decor. This first-rate cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of only the most expensive subwoofers with a furniture-grade finish so handsome your coffee table will be jealous.
Leveling Floor Spikes and Footers
Included with each Bravus subwoofer is a set of metal floor spikes with footers and a set of rubber feet. Use the metal spikes on carpet for tighter bass by decoupling the sub from the floor. If you have hard floors, use the footers with your metal spikes or use the included rubber feet to improve bass response and protect your surfaces from scratches or dents.
Acoustically Transparent Grille
Nothing stands between you and your sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious woofers from curious fingers, claws or snouts.

Bravus II 12D Powered Subwoofer - Gloss BlackGet ready to rumble! If you've got a large room and a yen to pack it with sound so aggressive you push the walls out, bigger is better. We've bumped up the power on the 12D to 650 watts to make that happen. For the Big Daddy, we added a 12-inch aluminum down-firing driver to a pair of 12-inch aluminum side-firing passive radiators.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 and use Kubuntu . The easiest way to check out the video card, download and install the correct driver is to use the script called "Envy" which is made by Albert Milone. It is available from http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
It works for MOST people but NOT all people.
Using Envy my dpi is 90x90 - but that may depend on MY monitor.

We live in a world afraid of getting older. Society constantly reminds us that aging is wrong and that a young look is the key to maintaining social status. Plastic surgery has become increasingly common, especially among the rich and famous. Although, some celebrities have defied this trend by publicly saying no to attempts to look younger than they are. But, because status is so dependent on beauty and youth, many just assume that eventually the pressure for celebrity staying power will cause them to change their minds. The only way to be accepted by new young fans is to look their age, right?
Not according to recent research. Schoemann and Branscombe (2010) have found that both men and women who try to appear younger than their ages are evaluated more negatively by young people than those who comfortably portray the age they are. The authors argue that older people posing as younger threaten the social identities of young people. So, those celebrities constantly trying to look younger than they are, may in fact be losing more fans than those who have staunchly said no to surgery and yes to aging naturally and gracefully.

Read: Where Rick Nash Wants To Do His Talking
At Newsday, Steve Zipay spoke with former Columbus GM Doug MacLean who expressed shock at how how people could be down on Rick Nash.
MacLean said "every night he was the No. 1 focus, tightly checked, man-on-man, because teams knew if you shut down Rick Nash, you beat Columbus? Now people are telling me he's overrated. Are you serious?"
He added that Nash's quiet demeanor reminded him of Hockey Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman from when MacLean was in Detroit, "Quiet guys do their talking on the ice. When Stevie was captain, and I was in Detroit, at first he struggled a bit, but he matured and as he was surrounded by better players, he went to another level."
MacLean was an assistant with the Red Wings for two seasons in the early 1990s.

|Recent ASU Assaults Believed to Be Linked
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Thursday, 26 April 2007 08:57
Over the Past two months three Appalachian State University students have been grabbed by an unknown male while walking on or near campus.
University Police Chief Gunther Doer believes the assaults may be related because of the assailant's method of operation. He reminds students to be aware of their surroundings and not to walk alone. The first incident occurred Feb. 25 off campus when a student walking in a parking lot between Howard Street and King Street was grabbed by a man she did not know who attempted to pull down her pants. The second incident occurred March 20 at approximately 8:50 p.m. when a female student was walking near Old Library Classroom Building and Smith-Wright Hall. As she passed an unknown man, he attempted to pull down her pants. The most recent incident occurred April 14 when a female student reported to police that she was grabbed from behind by an unknown male as she walked near the Old Library Classroom Building near Plemmons Student Union around 8:30 p.m. Doer said in all three cases, the assailant was wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt. There were no witnesses to any of the three incidents. In all three cases, the victims were able to resist the attacker and get away.University Police believe the assailant may be hanging out and watching for a time when there are no potential witnesses in the area,Doerr urges students to use the Mountaineer Safe Ride van service if they are unable to walk with a friend and if they are uncomfortable walking across campus alone. The service is available from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m...the number is 262-RIDE.

In the past, earth-friendly clothing reminded us of peas and carrots: you know they're good for you, but they're not very fun. But happily, those days are long gone, as designers like Stella McCartney, who uses all organic cotton and vegan accessories, are upping their game and creating eco-sensitive options that are truly fashionable. It's not just about burlap bags and recycled bangles anymore; there are some really amazing pieces on the market right now. So in honor of this year's Earth Day, we've spent the last few weeks rounding up our favorite green-minded products--like an ikat-print across-body bag, a pair of colorful cutoffs, and the perfect spring blaze--all for your sustainable shopping pleasure. But of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg! Read on for all of our green fashion picks and stay tuned for some truly amazing eco-friendly beauty products tomorrow!
Alex & Ani Green with Envy Romance Cocktail Ring ($48)
Your Who What Wear editors certainly love their baubles, so we were beyond thrilled when we found this gorgeous ring from the thoughtful jewelry line Alex & Ani. Featuring gold plating made from recycled metal from local mills and a beautiful domed stone, this enchanting cocktail ring evokes an antique-like luxury and we can feel good about wearing it. Ever better: it's not too fancy or elaborate, so it's a statement piece that works well with both minimalist and fancy evening ensembles!
People Tree Carlotta Floral Dress ($110) in Blue Floral
We've long been fans of the ecologically sound brand People Tree--as part of the World Fair Trade Organization, the company works closely with 50 Fair Trade groups in 15 countries--and their beautiful designs. And while it's always difficult to narrow down our favorite items to just one noteworthy piece, this year we're currently coveting the Carlotta Floral Dress. Made in India, this sleeveless, swingy frock is perfect for weekend fetes, especially when worn with a denim jacket and sandals.
Sprout Eco-Friendly Diamond Dial Watch ($52) in Purple
As much as we adore all of the eco-friendly clothing out there, we're equally jazzed by the array of green accessories, like this lovely watch by Sprout. Instead of using synthetic plastic and glass, Sprout constructs their timepieces out of corn resin--a renewable resource that is 99% biodegradable--and mineral crystals. The results are pieces like this quirky purple watch, which is also quite luxurious, thanks to the mother-of-pearl dial and diamond detailing on the face. This playful wrist accessory is the perfect way to liven up your spring neutrals, so be sure to snag one today. If the purple isn't your cup of tea, don't miss the collection's six other vibrant shades, including orange and pink.
Matt & Nat Hendrix Ikat Vegan Handbag ($165)
Just when we thought mundane sacks were our only earth-friendly bag options, we came across the insanely cool Matt & Nat Hendrix Bag! Not only is this 100% vegan carrier environmentally friendly--the label is made from cork and the lining is made from recycled water bottles--it's also quite fashionable. The Southwestern-inspired ikat print and tiered flap are visually intriguing, plus, it comes with a removable chain shoulder strap, so it can double as a clutch for your evening fetes. What more could you ask for?
M2F Brand Denims Mini Shorts ($75) in Starflower
Cutoff shorts are a key part of our spring/summer wardrobe, which is probably why we're so excited about M2F Brand Denims' Mini Shorts. M2F Brand Denims produces colored jeans and shorts that are faded like traditional indigo jeans, so every pair is perfectly worn-in. Our favorite is the minty-green Starflower wash--the color is achieved by soaking the shorts in a dye bath that uses 50% less water and energy than traditional textile dyeing procedures--but five other bright hues are also worth checking out. For the ultimate afternoon BBQ or music-festival outfit, we recommend pairing these guilt-free cutoffs with a colorful tank and strappy sandals.
Olsenhaus Galaxy Heels ($255) in Black/Mesh
Green girls everywhere will certainly appreciate these fashion-forward heels by Olsenhaus. They're made from recycled faux suede and mesh and have a supremely cool design; it's nice to finally see some edgy eco-friendly footwear! Perfect for balancing this season's ultra-bright looks, we imagine wearing them with a sultry cocktail dress for a girl's night out.
H&M Conscious Collection Scalloped Jacket ($49.95) in Blush Recycled Polyester
H&M is one of our favorite go-to shops for affordable, on-trend fashions, so we were as pleased as can be to hear about the debut of their Conscious Collection--a line for women, men, and children made from environmentally-adapted and greener materials. We're totally smitten with the line's refreshing white color palette, tiered dresses, breezy tops, and floaty skirts, but it was the Scalloped Jacket that really piqued our interest. Definitely sweet and feminine, this lightweight blazer has a wonderful Chloe-esque vibe we can't wait to wear all season long.--Jessica Baker

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team snapped an ill-timed three-game drought on Saturday afternoon in Flood Arena with an 89-65 win over Knox College.
The Buccaneers jumped out to an 18-9 lead seven minutes into the game before the Prairie Fire put together a 13-3 run over the next four minutes to take a 22-21 lead midway through the half. The Bucs got the lead back in short order and then played the final seven minutes on a 17-8 run to lead 53-36 at the break.
An 8-2 Beloit run out of the lockerroom pushed their advantage to 61-38 in the first three minutes of the second half but an 11-4 KC run pulled them back to within 65-49 midway through the half. Beloit responded with a 14-6 run which put them up 79-55 with 6:37 remaining before head coach Brian Vraney cleared the bench for the final five minutes.
The Buccaneers shot 59% from the field for the game, 59.5% in the first half and 58.3% in the second half. They also had just eight turnovers for the game while dishing out 19 assists.
Tyler Butke had a game-high 20 points while James Lazarcik recorded his 12th double-double of the season on 18 points and 14 rebounds. Steve McAfee, Jr. added 16 points and Chris Bremner 12. Bremner, Lazarcik and Ahmad Shamsid-Deen all had four assists.
The Bucs face a key game on Tuesday night when they host Carroll University in the home finale for Senior Night. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m.

Gigabyte GTX560 Ti SOC
AvP and Crysis Warhead
Published: 25th February 2011 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £229.99 |
Alien vs Predator
As we saw from 3D Mark 11 when the stress is really laid down hard the GTX560Ti SOC tends to end up around the HD6950 mark rather than the HD6970 we saw in Vantage. The manual overclocked reference and factory overclocked SOC are inseparable.
Crysis Warhead
The ageing Crysis Warhead shows how poorly optimised it is as it gives roughly the same results across all cards. The odd frame here and there is all that keeps the cards apart, but they can all do the 60FPS needed for smooth gameplay.

Also 14,471 PPD my 6850 only gets 3.000 PPD
I may upgrade to one of these and sell my 5850, the Twin Frozr II cooler is just a tad too loud when above 65% speed for my liking... excellent cooling though.
Plus I keep meaning to try a new nVidia card.
Had a really bad experience with them 2 years ago and haven't tried them since.
Once again nice review but I wanna see the vid!! I prefer video reviews if didn't notice.
Either that or cards since I've been seeing the variations are self governing themselves via their respective bioses ? I can't imagine that to be the case.
I wonder if you guys could either internally review the reviews or have some kind of 1-off face-off between those cards typical in todays review comparison.
In simple terms, you bench a card at stock, then bench it overclocked, it's hard to imagine how on earth it could bench with a lesser performance. (just for example) For sure, if you overclock a card and something within the OS kicks in (like windows just loves to do) it can certainly hamper performance. I've noticed particularly with failed overclocks, Windows 7 runs a program called something like "ApSafetyBlahBlah.exe" that you have to check is not running before you bench again cos it does take up cycles. I think it's Windows trying to help the user not have the same problem again that might've caused the system failure.
Just a suggestion, not having a poke.
Tis a decent card btw, used to love Gigabyte's productions. But instinct would dictate buying the standard card and overclocking it - as mentioned above, it's a hard thing to suggest looking at some results.
If this had a complete shroud I'd actually swap out my 2 460s for it and not even care about the loss in performance.. shame that isn't the case though.
I may give them another try sometime in the near future then.
point is 560 soc is to expensive.
about 90%+ of the 6950's can be unlocked with no problems ,,,infact its most prob more than that since they are the same PCB just 6970's are higher up on the binning process but with a aftermarket cooler I dont think you would run into any problems, but sayin that its best just buy the card you want than to buy the one lower and hope you can flash it problem free imo
ok found it, very high pass rate indeed

I'd only do it with a card I didn't pay for and planned to bench the crap out of it - which appears to be when they crap the bed.
My own cash ? Or someone who wants advice ? Get a 6970 or 560.
Im all confused whether or not to by 2 gtx 570 gainward glh or 2 of theses
570's have more GDDR5 memory. That helps though 1 580 now or 2 if you can will help alot. going by this vid 480 has 1.5GB GDDR5 like the 580 and produces a significantly better result at crunch time to the 570. What resolution will you run them? this vid is 1920x1080 and there isn't alot of games demanding like metro 2033 i think so it's a future proof need too

Another Country Heard From
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it did when Shonn Greene openly questioned the Jets decisions at the quarterback spot to Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports yesterday. A day following most Jets anonymous rally round Mark Sanchez in the Daily News, the Jets top running back popped the balloon on what looked to be a unilateral agreement in Mark Sanchez being vastly superior to the the team's second option.
"Something's got to change," Jets running back Shonn Greene told Yahoo! Sports. "When you get to the point where you're 3-6, and losing and losing, a couple of guys are like, 'Oh, what would happen [if Tebow played]?' But guys at the same time have faith in Mark, so it's kind of an up-and-down thing.
"You feel bad for Mark, but at the same time you want to win games. We're not here to protect people's feelings. If you want to win games, you've got to try something. If somebody's not getting the job done, you see if somebody else can do it. It's the same with coaching, or any position. You don't mean to belittle someone or say 'he sucks.' That's just the harsh reality." — Shonn Greene on the Sanchez-Tebow dynamic
Eric Weeks, TheJetsBlog.comWell, isn't this just lovely?! The Jets are, yet again, using the media as a vehicle to vent their frustrations but, they seem to be learning–Greene did put his name to the quote. Still, if this doesn't depict the deep divide currently affecting the Jets' locker room then I don't know what does.
Anyway you can picture it, it's almost certainly to be a lose-lose for the Jets. If they start Sanchez, they run the risk of witnessing more performances like they did in Seattle. If they play Tebow, not only do you potentially lose the locker room entirely but now you run the risk of him doing potentially worse albeit silencing the calls for his name when realization sets in. Of course if Tebow does win, it's bound to heal some wounds but by that point it may only be a moral victory if the Jets cannot turnaround their sputtering offense soon.
To be honest, with this quote coming from Greene, I feel as if it's the blind leading the blind especially given his own performance this season which has been nothing short of disappointing. I will grant it does have some merits but even so, he should be the last person to talk since the "harsh reality" for him is that he'll be lucky to be starting in the near future.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
When I read Greene's comments, I'm torn on if it was a vote of confidence in a very backhanded way … or what it was exactly. I'm inclined to think that's the case, but it's hard to see them in black and white and not at the very least take away that he's willing to concede that there are players questioning Mark's ability to run a dubious Sparano offense.
The irony of course is that Shonn Greene 'sucks' just as much as Mark Sanchez has for the first half of the season. That Shonn Greene – a guy who is marginally playing better than Mark Sanchez so far- would give a national outlet those quotes is essentially mind-boggling. Maybe it's just an indication of how out of touch players are with what's cycling up or down in the media on a given day.
Maybe Greene just got caught in a moment of candidness, but even if he says today that Silver misconstrued the comments, he's publicly made allowance for the seed of doubt in players minds about Mark Sanchez.
If there was blood in the water before, Shonn Greene just cavalierly tossed in a big bucket of chum.

|Water Park Clears County Commission Hurdle
|Written by Gary Childers
|Thursday, 17 January 2013 06:14
Watauga County moved one step closer to having a year round indoor water park Tuesday evening when the Commissioners granted an ordinance variance request to Satchmo Construction, a company managed by project developer Steve Moberg. The project's master plan had already received
preliminary approval from the County's Planning Board. The next step in the sequence of permits and approvals from varying local and state agencies was to obtain permission to exceed the 40 feet building height restriction contained in the County's building ordinances. For this to be considered the Commissioners were required to conduct a quasi-judicial hearing. During the hearing Mr. Moberg explained why the height variance was needed to house the slides and other facilities. Mr. Moberg also shared that if the project were approved it would bring around 400 year round jobs to the county. After testimony was provided by Mr. Moberg and County Planning Director, Joe Furman the Commissioners held a required "finding of facts" process as prescribed by County Attorney, Four Eggers. Following the "finding of facts" the Commissioners unanimously approved the variance.

New York Rangers @
Philadelphia Flyers
Sunday, 12:30 p.m.
Wells Fargo Center
Rangers Record: 41-32-5
Flyers Record: 46-22-10
Tomorrow afternoon, Apr. 3, the Rangers travel to
Philadelphia to take on the Flyers. The Rangers, riding a two-game losing streak,
look to strengthen their playoff position with a win. The Rangers currently sit
in eighth place after the Buffalo Sabres picked up a point on Saturday night,
and only lead the ninth-place Carolina Hurricanes by a single point. The Flyers
are currently sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, after being
overtaken for the top spot by the Washington Capitals on Saturday.
This is the final meeting of the regular season between the
Flyers and the Rangers. Their most recent match-up was a seven-goal explosion
by the Rangers at home. That game, however, was the Rangers' only win against
the Flyers this season, as Philadelphia took the first four games of the season
On Saturday, the Rangers assigned forward Mats Zuccarello to
the Connecticut Whale. With essentially the entire lineup back to health (save
long-term injuries to forwards Derek Boogaard, Chris Drury and Alex Frolov),
there was no need to carry an extra forward. Zuccarello has been struggling as
of late, and hopefully a stint with the Whale will be just what he needs to get
into playoff form.
The Flyers are dealing with injuries to forwards Ian
Laperriere and Jody Shelley and defenseman Oskars Bartulis. In response, they
called up defenseman Danny Syvret from their AHL affiliate Adirondack Phantoms.
The Rangers and Flyers face off at 12:30 in the NBC Game of
the Week, so be sure to watch what is sure to be a passion- and energy-filled

I took photos as I strolled around the park. I saw that one of the bird houses (new red ones) has a huge hornet nest in it. I reported it last month but it's still there. Hope they get it out so the birds can have their home back.

Very nice. I love floral insect shots. Nice color and VERY clear. Well done. Depending on the type of bird, most larger ones like to feast on bees and hornets. With the hornets already in the birdhouse it's like a built-in buffet.

The US House Energy and Commerce Committee launched a bipartisan review of the federal Renewable Fuel Standard with a white paper addressing the so-called "blend wall," the point at which adding the required ethanol volumes to gasoline supplies would result in a blend above the currently allowable 10% ethanol limit.
The RFS was originally enacted as part of the 2005 Energy Policy Act and significantly expanded under the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act. The American Petroleum Institute and American Petrochemical & Fuel Manufacturers have said the RFS's biofuel volume requirements are unrealistic, and their implementation could significantly increase costs and reduce supplies.
The committee's Mar. 20 white paper seeking stakeholder input on the blend wall is the first of five that will examine aspects of the RFS and its implementation. "It has been more than 5 years since the RFS was last revised, and we now have a wealth of actual implementation experience with it," it explained.
"In some respects, the RFS has unfolded as expected, but in others it has not," the white paper continued. "Several implementation challenges have emerged that received little, if any, consideration prior to passage of [EISA]. Furthermore, the overall energy landscape has changed since 2007. It is time to undertake an assessment of the RFS."
The white paper's 11 questions include whether the blend wall will affect prices, if it could be delayed by increasing the allowable ethanol limit in gasoline to 15% or encouraging more extensive use of a fuel blend that's 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline (E85), and how to effectively avoid misfueling which could seriously damage some engines. Comments will be accepted until Apr. 5.

|Gas Gap for High Country Widens
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 25 September 2012 11:27
Gas prices are showing some decrease, but while that's good news, our gas gap is widening again for drivers in the High Country. With some stations still hiking prices—some as high as $3.90—gas prices continue to slide downward only a county away.
One Wilkesboro station is showing $3.64.9, while prices in the Granite Falls area are as low as $3.65, and much of Hickory is just above that. One puzzling issue through all the price comparison is how same-brand gas can be 7-cents or more higher a mile or so from sister stations. That's been the case for some time for Wilco-Hess stations, with the prices usually lower on Blowing Rock Road than on either NC 105 or US 421.

Jacks ousted in semifinals
The South Dakota State men's tennis team played IUPUI tough, but was ousted 4-0 in The Summit League Championships semifinals on Friday night in Fort Wayne, Ind.
The teams played at Dr. Rudy and Rhonda Kachmann Tennis Center, as day turned into night, on the campus of Fort Wayne.
In the first semifinal of the day, top-seeded Kansas City defeated fourth-seeded and host Fort Wayne 5-1.
Although the listed score was a shutout, the meet was much more contested than the scoreboard.
IUPUI led early in all doubles matches and SDSU was unable to recover late in the matches.
Andrea Boglić and Parker Lawley played on the middle court at No. 1 doubles. The duo faced Nick Volz and Jacob Bradley at the top spot. Boglić and Lawley trailed by one break early in the match and battled to even the score. The two teams exchanged holds until the very end, when the Jaguars broke and held for an 8-6 win.
James Thorp and Mateus Moreira lined up on the first court versus Deon Shafer and Patrick O'Neill at No. 2 doubles. The two teams started a back-and-forth match early on, with both teams fighting to save service games. In the second game, Thorp saved numerous game points on his serve to remain on serve. The Jags broke serve midway through the set for the advantage, once again. SDSU attempted to get back into it, but IUPUI pulled away for an 8-4 win.
In the third doubles match, Lucas Pereira and Henrique Pereira trailed early, as well. Jason Jaruvang and Jake Hedderig broke early, but the Jacks evened the score midway through the set. The two teams exchanged service holds the rest of the way and entered a 12-point tiebreaker to determine the match, but it was unfinished due to the team decision.
In singles, the two teams battled even for the majority of the night.
Andrea Boglić put forth a spirited effort at No. 1 singles versus Jaruvang. The two were neck-and-neck for the entire first set, but Boglić broke Jaruvang for a 5-3 lead and held serve for a 6-3 win in the opening set. Jaruvang rebounded for a 6-3 second set win and won the third by the same score. The result clinched the meet for the Jaguars.
In the second spot, Parker Lawley and Volz played a tough first set that was decided in a tiebreaker. Lawley hit numerous clutch shots and came from behind to win the set and the tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-5). The match was on serve, but unfinished in the second set.
Mateus Moreira and Hedderig played tight at No. 3, but Hedderig won the opening set being one break of serve. The same fate met Moreira in the second, as IUPUI won the set and the match by one break of serve.
Henrique Pereira dominated the first set at No. 4 with a 6-2 win versus Deon Shafer. Shafer forced a third set with a 6-4 win in the second, but the two were on serve in the third and did not finish.
In the fifth spot, James Thorp and Thomas Gans were dead even as the first set neared its end, with Gans on top via initial service. Gans held on for a 6-4 win in the first and won the second for the straight-set win.
Lucas Pereira matched Henrique's feat at No. 6 with a convincing 6-2 win versus Armaan Choudhary in the first set. Choudhary followed suit and won the second set 6-4 and, like Henrique's match, was unfinished in the third.
The Jacks finished the season at 11-11 overall, but posted its highest regular season finish in school history. SDSU also earned the most all-league honorees in school history, as well as the first Coach of the Year award.
1. Nick Volz/Jacob Bradley (IUPUI) def. Andrea Boglić/Parker Lawley, 8-6
2. Deon Shafer/Patrick O'Neill (IUPUI) def. James Thorp/Mateus Moreira, 8-4
3. Lucas Pereira/Henrique Pereira vs. Jason Jaruvang/Jake Hedderig (IUPUI), 8-8, unfinished

2. Parker Lawley vs. Nick Volz (IUPUI), 7-6 (7-5), 2-3, unfinished
3. Jake Hedderig (IUPUI) def. Mateus Moreira, 6-4, 6-3

I wrote this as a nostalgic nod toward the old computers that I grew up with… Sinclair, Apple, BBC Micro even the odd IBM box. I fondly remember the tape drives, floppy disks, old RGB monitors, dot matrix printers, bits & bytes and typing endless software code in basic from a magazine! It is also a kind of retro homage to some of the great and wonderful electronic artists that I enjoyed in the 70's and early 80's. Musicians such as Kraftwork and Jean Michel Jarre to mention just a couple.
The piece is mainly build around a synth bass line. It features a verse, bridge, chorus structure. I particularly like the the uplifting, positive chorus section with it's orchestral strings which could easily be used for something alone perhaps as an intro or outro for a project.
This piece features in the Vintage Synthesiser Collection

Three Horror Movies With Ties to Quincy, Hannibal and Edina
A couple days ago, I was in the store and noticed that Halloween stuff was already starting to go on display. One of my favorite things at Halloween time is watching all of the scary movies the different television networks schedule. I love horror movies, and I've watched with interest over the last few years as some independent filmmakers have chosen to come to our area and shoot their projects. Here are three horror films with local ties.

PAWTUCKET — The City Council on Wednesday continued to question the hiring of a second communications director by Mayor Donald Grebien and called for a legal opinion on the way the position came about.
With the subject, Dylan Zelazo, sitting in the back of the council chamber, councilors continued to criticize the mayor's unilateral move to add a second $53,000-a-year Director of Communications and Constituent Services position to his administrative staff. Councilors said the action has prompted them to consider establishing limits in pay plan ordinances that would specify the number of positions that can be hired for particular job classifications.
Councilor Thomas Hodge referred to a memo from Grebien that had been sent to all municipal directors and department heads to limit spending and manage available funds to a level 5 percent below the dollars approved in their budgets. He said that while he "commended" the mayor for this action, adding a second $53,000 position "doesn't show the leadership this memo is asking all the other department heads to do."
Hodge criticized the administration's claim that an additional communications person could be a go-between the council and department heads. "If the City Council wants someone to do work for them, we can put money in our budget."
The council voted to support Council President David Moran's request to have the city solicitor provide legal clarification as to what the mayor's and council's powers and authorities are under the City Charter and City Ordinances concerning the hiring of employees and the impact on hiring as it pertains to council budget approvals. He asked for an opinion by the next council meeting on Aug. 7.
In his request to City Solicitor Frank Milos, Moran questioned if a mayor has the authority to hire as many people as he or she would like to any position that has an existing job classification. He noted Grebien had stated publicly that he could hire multiple people if he wanted under an existing job classification without having to get the council's approval.
Moran also asked about two scenarios related to budgeting. He questioned if, when a mayor budgets one person for an existing job classification and the council approves that single hire, the mayor can then hire a second person for the same position without subsequent council approval. Similarly, when a mayor asks for two people for an existing job classification and the council only approves one, he asked if the mayor can hire that second person even though the council specifically refused to fund the second position.
Additionally, Moran asked Milos to look into the council's ability to establish limits in pay plan ordinances that would specify the maximum number of positions that can be hired for particular job classifications. He noted the council had recently approved the creation of a job classification titled Certified Computer Repair Technician and the accompanying ordinance had stated it was for a maximum of four positions. The fiscal year 2014 budget contained these four positions and the council approved them within the overall budget approval process. "Can the mayor hire more than the four positions approved in the pay plan and the budget?" Moran asked.
Later in the meeting, after the council approved an ordinance change establishing a pay plan for a clerk III-highway position, Councilor Terry Mercer also raised the point about whether this meant additional employees could be hired under this job classification umbrella and reiterated the need for clarification on the matter.
In other matters, the council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to terminate the city's lease with the Elizabeth J. Johnson Pawtucket History Research Center.
Pawtucket Library Director Susan Reed explained that the action was just a formality because the research center's contents had all been moved to the library where it will now be housed, and Johnson's historic home on Fruit Street will be deeded to the Pawtucket Preservation Society.
During the public input portion of the meeting, Ken Postle, who spearheads a group of volunteers involved with restoring the Mineral Spring Avenue Cemetery, spoke of his frustration over the way city officials have handled his request to have a private company use ground penetrating radar to help locate graves and buried tombstones.
Postle expressed dismay over the way an original New Bedford company's bid to do the ground penetrating radar work had been overshadowed by the city-based Public Archeology Laboratory's (PAL) more elaborate plan to perform the job in return for cemetery maintenance contracts. He also said he was concerned that the volunteers, who have been working to restore the city cemeteries for the past three years, would be squeezed out of the project under the PAL proposal.
Postle said it appeared to him that there was "undue influence" going on among city officials to push the project to PAL when the other firm, Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project, was more suited to the scope of what needs to be done at the Mineral Spring Avenue cemetery site.
However, councilors bristled at Postle's remarks and denied there was any kind of undue influence going on over the cemetery work. An irked Councilor Albert Vitale denied that the council would ever be "strong-armed" over a bid and told Postle to "Stop talking like that."
Councilor John Barry, a member of the council's Public Works/Cemeteries Subcommittee, reminded Postle that he had called for a more formal bid process to take place, and that no company had yet been selected.
Barry also noted that Postle, along with Planning Director Barney Heath and DPW Director Lance Hill, had been asked to come up with a master plan for the renovation and continued upkeep of the two city cemeteries, Mineral Spring Avenue and Oak Grove, and to report back to the Cemeteries Subcommittee in 30 days.

|Low-Sugar Spiced Pumpkin Mini-Cheesecakes for portion control!
I'm back sharing South Beach Diet friendly Thanksgiving Recipes, after an unexpected day off from the internet yesterday when a bad winter storm knocked out power to my house for about 18 hours. I stayed at my sister Sandee's house last night (thanks Sandee!) and luckily I had an iPhone so I didn't feel completely cut off from the world. I was sad that I had to wait a day to share this great recipe for Low-Sugar Spiced Pumpkin Mini-Cheesecakes, because I worked hard testing several different versions before I got one that I loved, and I'm guessing people who are at least aiming for portion control on Thanksgiving will like this idea of pumpkin cheesecake in a single-serving version.
(This is the last Thanksgiving dinner recipe I'll be adding to my South Beach Diet friendly Thanksgiving recipes. I will be adding at least one recipe for turkey soup made with leftover turkey, so check back for that.)
Low-Sugar Spiced Pumpkin Mini-Cheesecakes
(Makes 12 cupcake sized mini-cheesecakes; recipe adapted by Kalyn from several sources, but mostly from Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake from Bon Appetit, November 2005.)
12 oz. (1 1/2 pkg.) low-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener, Splenda, or sugar (Use Stevia or Splenda for South Beach diet.)
1/4 cup brown sugar (or use another 1/4 cup seetener for a lower-sugar version)
2 T agave nectar (I used amber agave, but light would work)
2 eggs
7/8 cup canned pumpkin puree (1/2 can or 7.5 oz.)
2 T plain fat-free Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream
1 T flour (I used white whole wheat flour, but regular white flour will work)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice (contains cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, mace, and cloves)
pinch salt
whipped cream for serving if desired (I used a low-fat whipped-cream-in-a-can product that had 1 gram of fat, 1 gram of carbs, and less than 1 gram of sugar per serving)
Use a small hand mixer to cream together the softened cream cheese, Splenda, brown sugar, and agave nectar. Add eggs, one at a time, using a relatively low speed to blend the eggs into the mixture. (Don't beat the mixture at high speed after eggs have been added.)
Add canned pumpkin, yogurt or sour cream, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and gently combine with mixer. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to divide the batter among the 12 foil baking cups (I used slightly over 1/4 cup of batter in each foil cup.)
Bake 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecakes look set and feel barely firm on top. (Don't be alarmed when they puff up a little and then sink down slightly as they cool.) Let cool 30 minutes, then chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Good served with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.)
South Beach Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.
