CANTON Crews from CSX rail company are expected to start replacing the Route 11 rail crossing today and finish late next week.
Project engineer Thomas A. Maroun Jr. said completion of the rail crossing will allow state transportation officials to lift the detour thats been directing traffic off Main Street for the past several weeks.
He hopes to lift the detour by Aug. 12, which will allow traffic to flow through downtown without interruption.
The CSX rail crossing is near the intersection of Jay Street, which will be turned into a cul-de-sac as part of the $9.55 million state Department of Transportation project.
They have done the signal work. Now they have to install new concrete panels and rail lines and reline the tracks, Mr. Maroun said. Thats supposed to take four or five days.
The two-year project is on schedule to wrap up by Nov. 30, Mr. Maroun said.
This seasons work has focused on replacing the underground water and sewer mains from Park Place to Stiles Avenue.
Last year, crews replaced the underground piping in the downtown business section, stretching from the village park to Riverside Drive.
Work has gone more smoothly this year because traffic was detoured away from the work site, Mr. Maroun said.
With the road closed, we were able to get a lot more done. We are ahead of schedule, he said.
Now that the pipe work is complete, crews from Luck Bros. Inc., Plattsburgh, will start storm drainage work from the railroad crossing to Harrison Street.
A crew from Collins Concrete, Cobleskill, is scheduled to start installing curbing Monday in the stretch from Park Place heading eastward toward Stiles Avenue. New sidewalks also will be installed in that area.
Basically whats left is drainage work and a little reconstruction, Mr. Maroun said.
As the project winds down, crews will reconstruct the section of Main Street from Riverside Drive to Gouverneur Street, including a portion of Gouverneur Street. The highway in that area will be milled at night this fall.
In early October, the final layer of paving will be installed in the downtown business section. The pavement striping and extra signs also will be installed.
Village Superintendent Brien E. Hallahan credited DOT officials and Luck Bros. for running a smooth operation so far this season.
They did an excellent job of traffic control throughout the year. Im very pleased with the progress theyre making, he said.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- After years of planning, the permit is in place to break ground for a new industrial park in Auburn.
Auburn City Manager Clint Deschene said the 100-acre plot has eight lots that would generate about 200 new jobs and $1 million in additional property taxes for Auburn.
The parcel, which is adjacent to the Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport, has nearby air, road, and rail access that would make for an attractive location for new business, Deschene said.
With the final approval from the Army Corps of Engineers, city officials expect to break ground by the spring of 2013.
Funding comes from a $3 million bond passed in 2005, along with $1.7 million dollars from the city of Auburn for a matching grant from the federal Economic Development Administration.
It's still too early to have tenants for the new park, but city officials are optimistic coming off of the success from the nearby, 58-acre Kittyhawk Industrial Park.
Space filled in the Kittyhawk Park in about five years -- 10 years ahead of schedule, said Deschene.
"Lewiston and Auburn has been working with rebuilding its economy before everybody else was, so we had a little bit of a jump start," said Deschene. "We're ahead of the game right now."

|Sugar Grove Man Arrested After High-Speed Chase
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Wednesday, 15 April 2009 12:29
A 27-year-old man from the Sugar Grove community was arrested by the Watauga County Sheriff's Office after a high-speed chase involving two children that topped 100 miles-per-hour.
Captain Kelly Redmon of the Watauga County Sheriff's Office said James Daniel Wallace was pulled over for speeding on the 105 Bypass around 7:00 Thursday evening.
Redmon said Wallace pulled his 2000 model Chevrolet Blazer over to the side of the road and when the officer approached the vehicle to issue a speeding violation, Wallace pulled back onto the roadway.
According to Redmon the officer chased Wallace's Blazer down the bypass onto Highway 105 toward Foscoe, where the chase briefly surpassed 100 miles-per-hour.
Wallace reportedly turned right onto Bairds Creek Road and right again onto Laurel Fork Road where he pulled over because other officers had responded to the chase.
Redmon said there were two children in the vehicle with Wallace, a four year old and a five year old.
In all, Redmon said there were five responding officers and one involved in the actual chase.
Wallace was arrested and charged with felony fleeing to avoid arrest, misdemeanor child abuse, driving without insurance, reckless driving, speeding, and displaying a fictitious tag.
The children were turned over to child services.
Redmon said he was unsure if the children belonged to Wallace.

16 U.S. Code § 1379 - Transfer of management authority
(a) State enforcement of State laws or regulations prohibited without transfer to State of management authority by Secretary
No State may enforce, or attempt to enforce, any State law or regulation relating to the taking of any species (which term for purposes of this section includes any population stock) of marine mammal within the State unless the Secretary has transferred authority for the conservation and management of that species (hereinafter referred to in this section as "management authority") to the State under subsection (b)(1) of this section.
(b) Findings prerequisite to transfer of authority; State program; implementation
(1) Subject to paragraph (2) and subsection (f) of this section, the Secretary shall transfer management authority for a species of marine mammal to a State if the Secretary finds, after notice and opportunity for public comment, that the State has developed and will implement a program for the conservation and management of the species that—
(A) is consistent with the purposes, policies, and goals of this chapter and with international treaty obligations;
(C) does not permit the taking of the species unless and until—
(i) the State has determined, under a process consistent with the standards set forth in subsection (c) of this section—
(I) that the species is at its optimum sustainable population (hereinafter in this section referred to as "OSP"), and
(D) does not permit the taking of a number of animals of the species that exceeds the maximum number determined pursuant to subparagraph (C)(i)(II), and, in the case of taking for subsistence uses (as defined in subsection (f)(2) of this section), does not permit the taking of a number of animals that would be inconsistent with the maintenance of the species at its OSP;
(E) does not permit the taking of the species for scientific research, public display, or enhancing the survival or recovery of a species or stock, except for taking for such purposes that is undertaken by, or on behalf of, the State;
(F) provides procedures for acquiring data, and evaluating such data and other new evidence, relating to the OSP of the species, and the maximum take that would maintain the species at the level, and, if required on the basis of such evaluation, for amending determinations under subparagraph (C)(i);
(G) provides procedures for the resolution of differences between the State and the Secretary that might arise during the development of a cooperative allocation agreement under subsection (d)(1) of this section; and
(2) During the period between the transfer of management authority for a species to a State under paragraph (1) and the time at which the implementation requirements under paragraph (1)(C)(ii) are complied with—
(A) the State program shall not apply with respect to the taking of the species within the State for any purpose, or under any condition, provided for under section 1371 of this title; and
(3) After the determination required under paragraph (1)(C)(i) regarding a species is final and implemented under State law and after a cooperative allocation agreement described in subsection (d)(1) of this section, if required, is implemented for such species—
(A) such determination shall be treated, for purposes of applying this subchapter beyond the territory of the State, as a determination made in accordance with section 1373 of this title and as an applicable waiver under section 1371 (a)(3) of this title;
(B) the Secretary shall regulate, without regard to this section other than the allocations specified under such an agreement, the taking of the species—
(i) incidentally in the course of commercial fishing operations (whether provided for under section 1371 (a)(2) or (4) of this title), or in the course of other specified activities provided for under section 1371 (a)(5) of this title, in the zone described in section 1362 (14)(B) [1] of this title, and
(ii) for scientific research, public display, or enhancing the survival or recovery of a species or stock (other than by, or on behalf of, the State), except that any taking authorized under a permit issued pursuant to section 1371 (a)(1) of this title after October 9, 1981, allowing the removal of live animals from habitat within the State shall not be effective if the State agency disapproves, on or before the date of issuance of the permit, such taking as being inconsistent with the State program; and
(c) Standards with which State process must comply
The State process required under subsection (b)(1)(C) of this section must comply with the following standards:
(1) The State agency with management authority for the species (hereinafter in this section referred to as the "State agency") must make an initial determination regarding the factors described in clause (i) of that subsection. The State agency must identify, and make available to the public under reasonable circumstances, the documentation supporting such initial determination. Unless request for a hearing under paragraph (2) regarding the initial determination is timely made, the initial determination shall be treated as final under State law.
(2) The State agency shall provide opportunity, at the request of any interested party, for a hearing with respect to the initial determination made by it under paragraph (1) at which interested parties may—
The State agency must give public notice of the hearing and make available to the public within a reasonable time before commencing the hearing a list of the witnesses for the State and a general description of the documentation and other evidence that will be relied upon by such witnesses.
(3) The State agency, solely on the basis of the record developed at a hearing held pursuant to paragraph (2), must make a decision regarding its initial determination under paragraph (1) and shall include with the record a statement of the findings and conclusions, and the reason or basis therefor, on all material issues.
(4) Opportunity for judicial review of the decision made by the State agency on the record under paragraph (3), under scope of review equivalent to that provided for in section 706 (2)(A) through (E) of title 5, must be available under State law. The Secretary may not initiate judicial review of any such decision.
(d) Cooperative allocation agreements
(1) If the range of a species with respect to which a determination under paragraph (1)(C)(i) of subsection (b) of this section is made extends beyond the territorial waters of the State, the State agency and the Secretary (who shall first coordinate with the Marine Mammal Commission and the appropriate Regional Fishery Management Council established under section 1852 of this title) shall enter into a cooperative allocation agreement providing procedures for allocating, on a timely basis, such of the number of animals, as determined under paragraph (1)(C)(i)(II) of subsection (b) of this section, as may be appropriate with priority of allocation being given firstly to taking for subsistence uses in the case of the State of Alaska, and secondly to taking for purposes provided for under section 1371 (a) of this title within the zone described in section 1362 (14)(B) [1] of this title.
(2) If the State agency requests the Secretary to regulate the taking of a species to which paragraph (1) applies within the zone described in section 1362 (14)(B) [1] of this title for subsistence uses or for hunting, or both, in a manner consistent with the regulation by the State agency of such taking within the State, the Secretary shall adopt, and enforce within such zone, such of the State agency's regulatory provisions as the Secretary considers to be consistent with his administration of section 1371 (a) of this title within such zone. The Secretary shall adopt such provisions through the issuance of regulations under section 553 of title 5, and with respect to such issuance the Regulatory Flexibility Act [5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.], the Paperwork Reduction Act, [1] Executive Order Numbered 12291, dated February 17, 1981, and the thirty-day notice requirement in subsection (d) of such section 553 shall not apply.

(e) Revocation of transfer of management authority
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the Secretary shall revoke, after opportunity for a hearing, any transfer of management authority made to a State under subsection (b)(1) of this section if the Secretary finds that the State program for the conservation and management of the species concerned is not being implemented, or is being implemented in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this section or the provisions of the program. The Secretary shall also establish a procedure for the voluntary return by a State to the Secretary of species management authority that was previously transferred to the State under subsection (b)(1) of this section.
(A) The Secretary may not revoke a transfer of management authority under paragraph (1) unless—
(i) the Secretary provides to the State a written notice of intent to revoke together with a statement, in detail, of those actions, or failures to act, on which such intent is based; and
(ii) during the ninety-day period after the date of the notice of intent to revoke—
(I) the Secretary provides opportunity for consultation between him and the State concerning such State actions or failures to act and the remedial measures that should be taken by the State, and
(B) When a revocation by the Secretary of a transfer of management authority to a State becomes final, or the State voluntarily returns management authority to the Secretary, the Secretary shall regulate the taking, and provide for the conservation and management, of the species within the State in accordance with the provisions of this chapter (and in the case of Alaskan Natives, section 1371 (b) of this title and subsection (i) of this section shall apply upon such revocation or return of management authority).
(f) Transfer of management authority to State of Alaska
(1) The Secretary may not transfer management authority to the State of Alaska under subsection (b)(1) of this section for any species of marine mammal unless—

(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the term "subsistence uses" means the customary and traditional uses by rural Alaska residents of marine mammals for direct personal or family consumption as food, shelter, fuel, clothing, tools, or transportation; for the making and selling of handicraft articles out of nonedible byproducts of marine mammals taken for personal or family consumption; and for barter, or sharing for personal or family consumption. As used in this paragraph—
(A) The term "family" means all persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or any person living within a household on a permanent basis.
(g) Environmental impact statement not required
Neither the transfer of management authority to a State under subsection (b)(1) of this section, nor the revocation or voluntary return of such authority under subsection (e) of this section, shall be deemed to be an action for which an environmental impact statement is required under section 4332 of title 42.
(h) Taking of marine mammals as part of official duties
(1) Nothing in this subchapter or subchapter V of this chapter shall prevent a Federal, State, or local government official or employee or a person designated under section 1382 (c) of this title from taking, in the course of his or her duties as an official, employee, or designee, a marine mammal in a humane manner (including euthanasia) if such taking is for—

The Bigs
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 07/16/08, 01:03pm:
As widely documented over the past 18 hours, plucking Marcus Camby off Denver's salary scrap heap is a sensible choice for the Clippers. But more than that, it creates some interesting schematic choices for Dunleavy. Camby is sort of a unique big. Offensively, he's more comfortable around the elbow as a facilitator than he is as a brute muscling down low. Camby's pick-and-pop game is solid, and he also knows how to hit a baseline cutter. A lot of his success as a passer derives from the fact that he likes to hang out in the high post. What's nice for the Clippers, is that this allows Kaman plenty of space to settle down low. And because Marcus can hit that crazy, swinging set shot with proficiency, he'll draw opposing bigs off the block for Chris.
Defensively, Camby takes enormous pressure off Chris. Both bigs are quick and both can block shots with impunity. Camby's help/team defense is widely praised and that'll be important, because Al Thornton figures to blow defensive rotations on a regular basis until he masters NBA team defense.
Are the Clippers a certain playoff team? No. But if Thornton can learn how to use his length and quickness on opposing 3s, they'll likely become a Top 10 defensive team again. A big if, but one that's not outside the realm of possibility. The Clippers could stand to add another dependable wing defender. They might not have enough left to snag Josh Childress, but it would sure be nice.
UPDATE: Because we're all about empirical truth here, it's worth noting commenter Petey's evidence that Camby's mid-range set shot might not best be described as "proficient" -- borne out by his TS% and other assorted stats, which are quite low for a big man.
CONTRA-UPDATE: Kevin Pelton notes, "I don't think Camby is a bad midrange jumpshooter. Quickly eyeballing this list, 37.3% on outside twos seems about average for a big man; Tim Duncan shot 37.7%. The problem is that Camby specializes in the most inefficient shot in the game. It's the lack of free throws and absence of threes that really kills his TS%."

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincolns Dressmaker, Jennifer Chiaverini, reveals the famous First Ladys very public social and political contest with Kate Chase Sprague, memorialized as one of the most remarkable women ever known to Washington society." (Providence Journal)
Kate Chase Sprague was born in 1840 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the second daughter to the second wife of a devout but ambitious lawyer. Her father, Salmon P. Chase, rose to prominence in the antebellum years and was appointed secretary of the treasury in Abraham Lincolns cabinet, while aspiring to even greater heights.
Beautiful, intelligent, regal, and entrancing, young Kate Chase stepped into the role of establishing her thrice-widowed father in Washington society and as a future presidential candidate. Her efforts were successful enough that The Washington Star declared her the most brilliant woman of her day. None outshone her."
None, that is, but Mary Todd Lincoln. Though Mrs. Lincoln and her young rival held much in common—political acumen, love of country, and a resolute determination to help the men they loved achieve greatness—they could never be friends, for the success of one could come only at the expense of the other. When Kate Chase married William Sprague, the wealthy young governor of Rhode Island, it was widely regarded as the pinnacle of Washington society weddings. President Lincoln was in attendance. The First Lady was not.
Jennifer Chiaverini excels at chronicling the lives of extraordinary yet littleknown women through historical fiction. What she did for Elizabeth Keckley in Mrs. Lincolns Dressmaker and for Elizabeth Van Lew in The Spymistress she does for Kate Chase Sprague in Mrs. Lincolns Rival.
"McLain (A Ticket to Ride) offers a vivid addition to the complex-woman-behind-the-legendary-man genre, bringing Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, to life. Meeting through mutual friends in Chicago, Hadley is intrigued by the brash 'beautiful boy,' and after a brief courtship and small wedding, Hadley and Ernest take off for Paris, 'the place to be,' according to Sherwood Anderson. McLain ably portrays the cultural icons of the 1920s — Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, and Ezra and Dorothy Pound — and the impact they have on the then unknown Hemingway, casting Hadley as a rock of Gibraltar for a troubled man whose brilliance and talent were charged and compromised by his astounding capacity for alcohol and women. Hadley, meanwhile, makes a convincing transformation from an overprotected child to a game and brave young woman who puts up with impoverished living conditions and shattering loneliness to prop up her husband's career. The historical figure cameos sometimes come across as gimmicky, but the heart of the story — Ernest and Hadley's relationship — gets an honest reckoning, most notably the waves of elation and despair that pull them apart. (Mar.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"Dazzling and gorgeously written, Frances and Bernard features a pair of brilliant, complicated writers who present themselves to each other in letters that form the most exciting epistolary novel in recent memory. A slim book, it still seems to say all of the important things about friendship, faith, love, the literary life, and especially the costs of living as an artist while still inhabiting the real world. Its a marvel." —Ann Packer, author of The Dive from Clausens Pier and Songs Without Words
Loosely inspired by Robert Lowell and Flannery O'Connor, this absorbing, charming novel brings us into mid-century New York and the lives and letters of two writers-- their intense friendship, their discussions of writing and art and faith, and their bittersweet romance
"A novel of stunning subtlety, grace, and depth . . . compos[ed in] dueling letters of breathtaking wit, seduction, and heartbreak." —Booklist, starred review
A letter can spark a friendship.
A friendship can change your life.
In the summer of 1957, Frances and Bernard meet at an artists colony. She finds him faintly ridiculous, but talented. He sees her as aloof, but intriguing. Afterward, he writes her a letter. Soon they are immersed in the kind of fast, deep friendship that can take over—and change the course of—our lives.
From points afar, they find their way to New York and, for a few whirling years, each other. The city is a wonderland for young people with dreams: cramped West Village kitchens, rowdy cocktail parties stocked with the sharp-witted and glamorous, taxis that can take you anywhere at all, long talks along the Hudson River as the lights of the Empire State Building blink on above.
Inspired by the lives of Flannery OConnor and Robert Lowell, Frances and Bernard imagines, through new characters with charms entirely their own, what else might have happened. It explores the limits of faith, passion, sanity, what it means to be a true friend, and the nature of acceptable sacrifice. In the grandness of the fall, can we love another person so completely that we lose ourselves? How much should we give up for those we love? How do we honor the gifts our loved ones bring and still keep true to our dreams?
In witness to all the wonder of kindred spirits and bittersweet romance, Frances and Bernard is a tribute to the power of friendship and the people who help us discover who we are.
A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway and her life changes forever. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair set sail for Paris, where they become the golden couple in a lively and volatile group—the fabled "Lost Generation"—that includes Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
Though deeply in love, the Hemingways are ill prepared for the hard-drinking and fast-living life of Jazz Age Paris, which hardly values traditional notions of family and monogamy. Surrounded by beautiful women and competing egos, Ernest struggles to find the voice that will earn him a place in history, pouring all the richness and intensity of his life with Hadley and their circle of friends into the novel that will become The Sun Also Rises. Hadley, meanwhile, strives to hold on to her sense of self as the demands of life with Ernest grow costly and her roles as wife, friend, and muse become more challenging. Despite their extraordinary bond, they eventually find themselves facing the ultimate crisis of their marriage—a deception that will lead to the unraveling of everything they've fought so hard for.
A heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty, The Paris Wife is all the more poignant because we know that, in the end, Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley.
About the Author
"Told in the voice of Ernest Hemingway's first wife, The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain, is a richly imagined portrait of bohemian 1920s Paris, and of America literature's original bad boy." —Town & Country
"Novelist and memoirist Paula McLain traces the life of Hadley Hemingway, first wife of Ernest Hemingway, in this evocative novel set largely in Paris in the Jazz Age." —Christian Science Monitor
"The Paris Wife is mesmerizing. Hadley Hemingway's voice, lean and lyrical, kept me in my seat, unable to take my eyes and ears away from these young lovers. Paula McLain is a first-rate writer who creates a world you don't want to leave. I loved this book." —Nancy Horan, New York Times bestselling author of Loving Frank
"After nearly a century, there is a reason that the Lost Generation and Paris in the 1920's still fascinate. It was a unique intersection of time and place, people and inspiration, romance and intrigue, betrayal and tragedy. The Paris Wife brings that era to life through the eyes of Hadley Richardson Hemingway, who steps out of the shadows as the first wife of Ernest, and into the reader's mind, as beautiful and as luminous as those extraordinary days in Paris after the Great War." —Mary Chapin Carpenter, singer and songwriter
"Despite all that has been written about Hemingway by others and by the man himself, the magic of The Paris Wife is that this Hemingway and this Paris, as imagined by Paula McLain, ring so true I felt as if I was eavesdropping on something new. As seen by the sure and steady eye of his first wife, Hadley, here is the spectacle of the man becoming the legend set against the bright jazzed heat of Paris in the 20s. As much about life and how we try and catch it as it is about love even as it vanishes, this is an utterly absorbing novel." —Sarah Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Postmistress
"McLain offers a vivid addition to the complex-woman-behind-the-legendary-man genre, bringing Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, to life.... The heart of the story--Ernest and Hadley's relationship--gets an honest reckoning, most notably the waves of elation and despair that pull them apart." —Publishers Weekly

Decoy coyote guards against bird strikes at Eugene airport
EUGENE, Ore. -- Decoy coyotes and pyro guns: the business of preventing bird strikes at the Eugene Municipal Airport hinges on the best way to scare birds away.
"The tower will call us if they see any birds in the area that may be getting ready to land," said Joseph Roberts, one of the workers who carry out the airport's counter-bird operations.
The pilot of a US Airway flights that went down in New York's Hudson River last week said he hit a flock of birds before losing his engines in what's being called a "double bird strike."
Bird strikes are not uncommon near airports -- there were 13 reported last year at the Eugene airport. The airport uses loud sounds and frightening visuals -- like the coyote decoy -- to keep birds away.
The pyro guns aren't used during the summer months because of fire danger.
The Portland International Airport use sirens and horns to ward off birds and recently added laser beams to their bird-fighting arsenol.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
Eight sewer projects to provide service to more than 70 residences in unincorporated county areas should be completed next year if Price River Water Improvement District obtains the money it expects to receive from the Utah Community Impact Board.
"It looks good for us to get the money from the CIB to get these projects done," indicated Phil Palmer, water improvement district general manager.
"I am going to work on getting a little better deal on the money that is available, but I think they have come to a tentative conclusion on giving us the best that we can get right now," pointed out Palmer.
The CIB met recently and looked at funding proposals from a number of communities and organizations. PRWID wanted to get the projects, valued at $1.1 million dollars, funded by grant money.
But the CIB trimmed all submitted proposals and divided the projects into a combination of grant money and low interest loans. While final approval for the transaction has not been granted by the CIB, it appears PRWID will receive $500,000 in grant monies and the remaining $600,000 in a low interest 2.5 percent loan.
The projects will bring sewer lines to unserved areas. Many of the places where the lines presently come close to residences, but not near enough for the houses to hook onto directly.
The projects include:
950 East, north of U.S. Highway 6 and east of Wellington.
Bawdenville area east of the Price city limits.
Two locations in Carbonville, one at 750 North and 750 West and one near Mountain States Road.
Three sites in Spring Glen, 4340 North on Spring Glen Road, 4420 North and 1800 West along with an extension at Haycock Wash.
An improvement project that will fall under the money is to fix some problems at the Mud Flats lift station south of Price.
If the CIB approves the funding package, the cost to pay back the loan will be PRWID's non-incorporated county area customers. That would mean an increase of $1.55 per month per hookup for 20 years to pay back the loan portion of the money.
Palmer suggested to the board that it would be a good idea to begin the engineering studies and planning on these projects before the money was actually awarded so that the study could be done by December. The projects could be bid out in mid-winter and the bidder or bidders selected and ready to start them in the spring. He told them the engineering for the projects would total $92,500
Several PRWID board members, however, had questions about how the district could spend the money for the study without the CIB funding being awarded.
Board representative Guido Rachiele suggested the engineering study be conducted with the company doing it understanding that no money will be paid until the CIB gives the district the funds.
Most of the panel agreed with the idea, but Keith Cox had a concern about when the public hearing on the projects would be held.
"Sometimes when we do these things and prepare in this way for them, people come to the public hearings thinking we have already made our minds up," said the board member, referring to the fact that the money for the engineering would have already been committed before the public hearing on the rate increase.
"I just want people to know that we are concerned about their input and that we want to here from them about this," added Rachiele.
A couple of other board members agreed and chairman Steve Denison suggested that people be encouraged to attend the next couple of PRWID meetings and talk about any concerns they have during the public comment period set aside at the beginning of all sessions.
"We don't want people to feel left out of the process," said Denison. "So lets spread the word we want to hear from those with concerns."
Following the discussion, the board voted to proceed with the studies, provided the money will not be paid until the CIB releases the funds.
Addressing unrelated agenda items, the PRWID board members considered the following matters:
Ryan Nelson from Southwest Plumbing Supply asked the district to reconsider it's stand on only using a certain brand of coupling for their pipes.
The district had done some testing and looked at past performance problems with couplers.
But Nelson told the board that things have changed during the years and some of the other brands quality has improved.
The board decided to look further into the situation and to get more information before making any kind of decision.
The board gave permission for Price City to put a translator on the tower on the headquarters for a communication system.
The communications system will be utilized by the law enforcement agency and possibly other departments within Price city.
"This site is critical for our system," emphasized Price Police Lt. Ed Shook in addressing the members of the PRWID board at the meeting.
"We have two antennas on Wood Hill and this one. It is a line of sight system so it this location is important for consistent coverage," added the police lieutenant.
The water improvement district board approved the purchase of a harness and tripod system for Confined Space retrieval at the districts water plant.
The PRWID respresentatives also approved an alarm system that is going to be installed at the water treatment plant at a cost of slightly more than $2,500.
The contractor selected by the water improvement district to install, maintain and monitor the alarm system is MBE Security.
"There is legislation pending in Congress on what utilities will have to do to protect the public interest and alarms systems are part of that," pointed out Palmer.
"I think this is just the beginning of what will be coming down, so I think we may as well get started now," advised the PRWID director.
Jeff Richins, assistant water improvement district director, presented the bidding booklet on the Elm Street and 400 East project to the board members.
"The request for bids was advertised today and will be for the next week," explained Richins. "The bidders can come in and pick up this book of specifications to base their bids on."
The bid opening process for the Elm Street and 400 East projectis scheduled to take place on Oct. 28.
Representatives serving on the PRWID panel will approve the winning bid at the regular public board meeting on Nov. 5.
The board approved a final payment of $2330 to Creamer and Noble Engineering.
Creamer and Noble completed the engineering study on moving PRWID's utility lines because of the new Helper Interchange project.
Price River Water Improvement District will submit the total costs associated with the engineering study to the Utah Department of Transportation for reimbursement.
According to the water improvement district, the costs of the engineering study registered at more than $23,000.

text: This was originally posted in the Tiger 800 thread but demand to market these little goodies had me move over here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So as much as I like this bike, I have been disappointed with the rear tail/brake light, mainly because it is not as bright as other bikes, specifically most Japanese bikes that use clusters of rear facing diodes. The Tiger uses side facing diodes in the light array which are then reflected rearward to illuminate from behind. Being LED, we cannot increase the brightness so what's a Tiger owner to do? Here are the markers from behind on an overcast day- And now the brake lights- I searched out a waterproof LED array which has a pulse trigger lead (not cheap). Then with a bit more searching, I located the factory wiring plugs and, after a bit of wiring, built this-- The black plugs are a direct match to the Triumph factory plugs, so all that is necessary is to unplug the rear light assembly, insert this in between, and plug them in. The light is slim and narrow enough and fits just perfectly into the notch above the light assembly and below the rear rack. It is adhered in place with 3M dual side waterproof adhesive. The light array acts as a tail light just as the original does when it is powered on. When the brakes are applied, the light emits a brief series of pulses and then stays on bright. Let me just say, the brake lights are super bright, even in the sunlight. Tail lights alone with LED array- And with the brake lights applied- Here is a video link to the application of the brakes. It is out of focus due to the flash and brightness of the LED's- I got a great response from a bunch of inmates , so I'm taking orders for an initial run of at least 15 units. I will do more than 15 but need to be there for a break on the cost of the light assemblies. Cost for this run will be $110 US (there has been a price increase-keep reading) shipped (CONUS) and AK/HI/International will have an added shipping cost. The entire unit is plug/play and has easy install instructions. The light lens is thick polycarbonate in a waterproof aluminum housing. Entire unit only draws .75amps at 12.8vdc. That's for the techies. Once I have the 15 commitments, I will order the lights which are about 2 weeks out, then give me a week to assemble them and get them all shipped. If I get less than 15 orders, I will still do them providing everyone doesn't mind the price jumping a few $$. Let's say the lights are for your "adventure riding" as I can't tell you what every local government has to say about it. It is mind-bendingly bright, so short of the 16 year-old behind you texting where the weekend party is, it definitely makes you more visible! I have started compiling a list of buyers through PM and will post it soon to make sure I haven't missed anyone. Post up or PM with any questions and thanks so much for the support! Cheers, p3

Make it here, sell it in Colombia
US-Colombia FTA will increase opportunities for American exporters and create American jobs
This summer, the United States Department of Commerce, in conjunction with the State Department, held a webinar that outlined the US-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and explained what this historical agreement would mean to businesses in the United States.
Over 200 businesses registered for this webinar and had the opportunity to have their questions answered directly by the Ambassador to Colombia Michael McKinley, National Deputy Director of the Minority Business Development Agency, Alejandra Y. Castillo, and Michael Masserman, Executive Director for Export Policy, Promotion and Strategy at the International Trade Association. To help advance President Obama's National Export Initiative, the presenters educated export-ready business owners about the potential of the U.S.–Colombia Free Trade Agreement. This Free Trade Agreement has massive potential for American business, as this new agreement could increase U.S. exports by $1.1 billion.
Why should American businesses (especially small ones!) care about exporting? Because through exports a company of any size can increase their sales, enter previously untapped markets, and strengthen the financial stability of their company. Most importantly, exporting is one of the key methods for putting Americans back to work. This is especially true for minority-owned businesses that are exploring other ways to employ American workers. Minority-owned businesses have a competitive advantage in global trade based on their cultural ties, language skills and nimbleness.
The 2007 Survey of Business Owners reveals that among firms with export sales representing 20 percent or more of their overall receipts, minority-owned businesses are twice as likely to export compared to non-minority firms. In addition, minority firms are more than three times as likely to have businesses generating 100 percent of all their sales in exports compared to non-minority respondent firms. This finding is quite substantial because it supports the Administration's goal to double the nation's exports by the end of 2014.
Commerce Department Declares Winners in the Commerce Business Apps Challenge
An online application that allows businesses to compare themselves to their competitors, locate their competition, customers, and suppliers, and find the best places to advertise and their developer team of four won the Commerce Department's first prize and $5,000 in the nationwide Commerce Business Apps Challenge sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The winning apps use at least one Department of Commerce data set that assists businesses and/or improves the service delivery of Business.USA.gov to the business community. BusinessUSA is a centralized, one-stop platform to make it easier than ever for businesses to access services to help them grow and hire. All of these winners equip businesses with tools to be more competitive around the world, while creating jobs here at home.
The First Place winner, SizeUp, is a business intelligence tool that uses data from hundreds of sources including the Census Bureau, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, IRS records, county courthouse filings, Yellow Pages and White Pages, business publications, the U.S. Postal Service, and corporate annual reports to provide a comprehensive overview to small- and medium-sized business about their competitiveness and where to find resources to improve. This will improve the success of small businesses so they can prosper and create new jobs.
SBA Proposes Increases to Size Standards in Utilities, Construction, Arts, Entertainment and Recreation Sectors
The U.S. Small Business Administration is seeking comment on three proposed rules published today in The Federal Register that would revise the size definitions for small businesses in the Utilities; Construction; and Arts, Entertainment and Recreation sectors. The proposed revisions reflect changes in marketplace conditions.
The proposed rule for the Utilities sector will revise the size standard for nine industries. The rule proposes changing six of the industries dealing with electric power generation, distribution and transmission from revenue-based size standards to an employee based size standard of 500 employees.
It would also increase the size standards for the remaining three industries in the Utilities sector from $7 million to $25.5 million for water supply and irrigation systems, $7 million to $19 million for sewage treatment facilities, and $12.5 million to $14 million for steam and air conditioning supply. SBA estimates as many as 400 additional firms in this sector would become eligible for SBA programs as a result of these revisions.
9 Business Myths: Reality Check
"Myths" and "urban legends" persist in the public's perception despite their obvious misinformation. This is true in the small business arena as well as in other facets of life.
These myths have a negative impact on small business success because legends can reinforce or encourage bad decisions by aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners - decisions that can be critical and sometimes fatal to the establishment or growth of the businesses. The myth-list is a long list, but these eight are the most common.
Myth #1: "I don't need a written business plan - I have everything in my head."
Reality check: For any new small business to enter the marketplace, the owners need a detailed business plan which lays out their target market, funding, organization, and anticipated revenue flow. A sound business plan is mandatory if the business is seeking a business loan or status as an 8(a) socially or economically disadvantaged company with the SBA. In addition, it prevents business owners from failing to accurately predict revenue, cash flow, and other critical items needed to survive.
It is human nature to be optimistic - it is much easier to be optimistic if the data is only in our minds. Sometimes ideas that seem great in concept present an entirely different picture when put down on paper.
Performance Highlights: FY 2009-FY 2011
The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), a job-creating agency, leads Federal efforts to promote the growth and global competitiveness of America's minority business community. This summary includes a small portion of our overall accomplishments during the first three years of the Obama Administration.

L'Annee Philologique (APh) is a comprehensive, annual index of publications dealing with all aspects of Greco-Roman antiquity. Subjects included in this index are history, literature, art, religion, folklore, early Christian texts, papyrology, and science. LPh covers articles written about the time periods beginning in the second century BC to 800 AD. APh references are multilingual and compiled from journals, festschriften, books, essays, editions of ancient texts, dissertations, and book reviews. Access subjects by classical author and text or by broad subjects (in French). An index of authors and of ancient names of locations/people is also included.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

One of the most appreciated programs of
the USO is Operation USO Care Package (OUCP). Packages filled with reminders of home let deploying troops
know they are not forgotten. Learn more about the Operation USO Care Package,
and see how corporations support this valuable program below.
Bass Pro Shops' annual "Reelin'
It in for the Troops" promotion has raised almost $1.5 million for OUCP since
2003. Customers can make a $1, $3,
or $5 donation in each Bass Pro Shops store and receive a card to write a
message to a member of the armed services. These note cards are then sent to the OUCP warehouse and
inserted in USO care packages.
From 2006
to 2010, FedEx has committed to donate $250,000 of in-kind shipping each year
to off-set the cost of sending care packages to service members. In addition, each year they donate
$50,000 in cash to the USO in support of general programs and services and
$20,000 of in-kind shipping services for the USO's general needs. In 2010, Fed Ex gave an additional
$20,000 in in-kind shipping to support the inaugural Military Family Care
Package Program.
In 2009,
Energizer Personal Care donated over $2.7 million worth of disposable razors to
centers and the Operation USO Care Package Program. This budget-relieving
in-kind donation has been a tremendous support to the USO as razors are one of
the top requested items by deployed troops.
2003, the annual corporate donation from the Grainger Foundation has totaled
$525,000 in cash, including corporate donations of $100,000 each in 2008, 2009,
and 2010.
From 2005
to 2010, the company's Toast for the
Troops program has generated more than $400,000 for OUCP. In 2009 & 2010, Jack Daniel's
hosted two stuffing parties in conjunction with the NASCAR Race at Bristol
Motor Speedway and at Camp Pendleton.
2009, Harry and David has hosted a "Snacks for Our Troops" campaign, offering
customers the opportunity to purchase snack items for the OUCP program and in
2010 included donations for the USO of Fort Hood Texas.
A brand new OUCP sponsor, the
Society for Human Resource Management is supporting Operation USO Care Package
and incorporating a Care Package event into their annual meeting of over 10,000
HR professionals from around the world.
Expo Chemical Company, celebrating its 35 years of service in the specialty chemical business, is a Proud Donor of the USO and has supported the Operation USO Care Package program for the last several years with a cash donation.
For more
than six years, JCPenney has supported the USO. In 2009 and 2010, JCPenney
donated $25,000 to support USO Programs.
In addition, JCPenney donated $95,000 worth of bed linens and blankets
in 2009 to USO Ft. Hood's Operation Restful Night which provided a touch of
home to troops returning from Afghanistan. Previous donations have supported the Contingency
Aeromedical Staging Facility at Ramstein Air Base through Operation Enduring
In 2009,
Starbucks donated about 166,000 2.5oz coffee samplers to be designated toward
Operation USO Care Package as well as USO centers in Southwest Asia. This donation totaled over $319,000
worth of in-kind products, more than half of which were budget-relieving. In 2010, Starbucks pledged over 300,000
units of VIA single serve coffee packs to OUCP.
syndicated radio hosts Bob and Tom are broadcast to nearly 150 stations nationwide. The Bob and Tom Show has supported OUCP
by asking its listeners to sponsor a USO Care Package at a co-branded
website. More than $600,000 has
been raised since partnership began in 2005.
We would love to hear from you.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - More people in the audience, means more opportunities for extra fun at Grand Rapids Griffins games. "We say it's never just a game, here with the Griffins," said Spokesperson Randy Cleves.
Tens of thousands of tickets have been sold for this season. "I don't know the percentages off hand, but we have had increases," continued Cleves. He cannot tell if the rise is due to the minor league hockey team's winning season so far (putting them in first place in their division), or if more people are going to games because of the NHL lockout.
No matter the reason, the staff at Van Andel Arena is stepping up the entertainment for the extra guests. "Things like the dollar dogs and dollar beers, different unique give-aways, things that are going on post-game."
The big crowds are also fun for the players, especially since a few of them haven't been able to advance to the NHL this season because of the lockout. Brendan Smith was supposed to move up to the Red Wings: "Hopefully in the next few weeks, they can come to an agreement...and I'll be able to be penciled in, but until then, I'm fortunate enough to play here."

Sheriffs and county law makers from St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Franklin, Essex, Lewis and Clinton Counties are planning to meet in Ogdensburg to coordinate their efforts to keep inpatient services at the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center. The state Office of Mental Health has proposed sending inpatient services downstate as part of a state-wide shift to more community-based mental health services.
The meeting between sheriffs and law makers will take place on Nov. 21 said St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force Chair Charles Chuck W. Kelly.
Mr. Kelly said they are hoping to be able to tour the psychiatric center, 1 Chimney Point Dr., at 3:30 p.m. before meeting at the Dobisky Center at 5 p.m.
The final list of who is attending has not been confirmed, Mr. Kelly said, but representatives of every county that is served by the psychiatric center have been invited.
Mr. Kelly said the meeting will discuss the increased burden the plan by OMH would place on counties, among other issues. The cost of transporting people on a regular basis to psychiatric centers downstate will be a foremost concern, Mr. Kelly said, as some fear it will become an unfunded mandate that counties will be forced to swallow.
We dont know of any good changes that are being made, Mr. Kelly said of the plan by OMH.
The meeting will also discuss the number of people who will likely end up in county jails as a result of inpatient care services being shuttered in the north country.
All the counties appear to be suffering the same problem of having mental hygiene patients taking up prison space, Mr. Kelly said. Mental hygiene patients should be treated as mental hygiene patients and not as prisoners.
