The city wants to replace streetlight bulbs with more energy-efficient LED fixtures.
City Council members approved a grant application to the St. Lawrence River Valley Redevelopment Agency for a sum not to exceed $28,750 to replace 86 city-owned streetlights along the Maple City Trail and the Greenbelt area near the Dobisky Visitor Center.
Currently, the streetlights use metal halide bulbs. By replacing them with LED fixtures, the city will reduce its energy consumption by 56,562 kilowatt-hours, decreasing carbon emissions caused by city streetlights from more than 30 tons to 5.67 tons, a 70 percent reduction.
The agency assists communities, corporations and nonprofit organizations that plan projects to provide a community benefit, typically prioritizing economic development projects.

According to multiple reports, the Rangers have placed backup goaltender Steve Valiquette on waivers, in hopes of him being assigned to Hartford to regain form.
Hartford Wolf Pack goalie Chad Johnson is being recalled to fill his spot.
Due to cap implications, the Rangers were unable to claim Ducks' forward Erik Christensen and keep Valiquette on the roster.
As Blueshirt Bulletin contributor and Newsday beat writer Steve Zipay writes, Valiquette could not be assigned on a conditioning stint because his salary would have remainined on payroll and put the Rangers over the cap with the Christensen signing.
With Donald Brashear nursing injuries, the Rangers claimed the 25 year old Christensen to add some grit and a little you to their bottom six forwards.
Christensen, at 6' 1" and 205 pounds, has also shown the ability to help offensively. In 226 career NHL games, he has scored 42 goals.
Some further analysis.
Readers have presented a fair point, why not waive a player like Michal Rozsival, who has struggled and has a mighty $5 million cap hit, rather than Valiquette?
In all likelihood, Valiquette would be claimed on re-entry from Hartford, if he even makes it down. That would put the Rangers on the hook for $500,000 and leave them without a viable backup goaltender.
Consider also that with the Winter Olympics on hand, it is even more important to have a capable backup.
Realistically, the Rangers cannot afford to send Rozsival down because they simply have nobody to replace him. Bobby Sanguinetti, who played OK in his three-game stint, still needs a lot of work in his skating and is not yet ready for full time duty.
As for players like Mike Sauer and Corey Potter, they may be able to fill a bottom-pairing role, but may not be a tremendous upgrade over a player like Rozsival.
What would make more sense is a player like Donald Brashear, who is currently battling injuries and has not yet established himself as a regular forward for this group, to be waived. Granted, he has a physical presence and will drop the gloves, but in reality, his $1.4 million contract isn't worth that.
A player like Aaron Voros would also make sense rather than a backup goaltender.
Chances are, there are more moves coming. This group needs to be shaken up and sending down a popular locker room guy like Valiquette, is not going to remedy it.
On newcomer Erik Christensen, see the official Rangers release below:
York, December 2, 2009 – New York Rangers President and
General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has acquired forward
Erik Christensen off waivers from the Anaheim Ducks.
Christensen, 25, has appeared in nine games with Anaheim this season.
Last season, he skated in 64 games with Anaheim and the Atlanta Thrashers,
registering seven goals and 21 assists for 28 points, along with 20 penalty
minutes. His 21 assists marked a new career-high. He recorded five
multi-point efforts on the season, including four two-assist
performances. Christensen ranked second on Atlanta in faceoff percentage,
posting a 54.6% (233-427) success rate, at the time of his trade to Anaheim on
March 4. He also tallied two assists in eight playoff contests,
collecting his first career post-season point in Game Two of the Western
Conference Quarterfinal matchup at San Jose on April 19.
veteran of five NHL seasons, Christensen skated in his 200th NHL game on March
3, 2009 against Florida. He established career-highs in goals (18) and
points (33) while skating with the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2006-07
season. Christensen tied for the NHL lead with eight shootout goals that
season, converting at a 57.1% (8-14) success rate in the shootout. He
also set a new career-high for points in a game with two, three-point efforts –
January 16 against NY Islanders (two goals and one assist) and March 29 at
Boston (two goals and one assist) – and posted a career-high, three-game
goal-scoring streak from December 1 to December 5 (three goals).
6-1, 203-pounder has appeared in 226 career NHL games with the Pittsburgh
Penguins, Atlanta Thrashers and Anaheim Ducks, registering 42 goals and 56
assists for 98 points, along with 112 penalty minutes. Christensen made
his NHL debut on November 1, 2005 at New Jersey, and he notched his first NHL
goal in his second game on November 3 against the NY Islanders. In
addition, Christensen has recorded two assists and six penalty minutes in 12
career playoff contests with Pittsburgh and Anaheim.
to turning professional, Christensen spent four seasons with the Kamloops
Blazers and Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League (WHL), registering
133 goals and 153 assists for 286 points, along with 265 penalty minutes in 338
games. In 2002-03, he captured the Bob Clarke Trophy as the WHL's leading
scorer with 108 points (54 goals and 54 assists) in 67 games with
Kamloops. He also appeared in 29 WHL post-season contests with Kamloops
and Brandon, tallying 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points, along with 28
penalty minutes.
native of Edmonton, Alberta was originally selected as the Pittsburgh Penguins
third round draft choice, 69th overall, in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
He decided to do so on his way home after the weekend in Kranjska Gora where he gained 160 points, "To be ahead by 149 points is quite solid, but the super-G at the finals will be another chance for points. It was the right decision last year to make use of this chance." Two first-class second runs in Kranjska Gora did not only put Marcel in a comfortable position for the final sprint in Lenzerheide, but also led to winning the slalom crystal globe, "I am really happy about this. I had still missed this one in my collection. Small globe, big message: It means that I was the best and most consistent slalom racer this winter."
This is true. And this conclusion could also be applied when it comes to the big crystal globe: Marcel Hirscher, once again the world's best and most consistent skier. In races #17 and #18 of this season he achieved podium results #15 and #16 – there is nothing left to say about Marcel's winter. But it has not been decided yet, "Finals are similar to major events: as we could see last year, they have their own laws. I try to be laid-back about the races. My batteries are fully charged and I'm in pole position. I am double world champion and vice world champion, I've won the slalom crystal globe: whatever there is still to come is just an extra and one more reason to celebrate once the season is over."

On illegal immigration, the anti-enforcement crowd on both the right and left continually spouts the mindless nonsense that illegal aliens "are only taking jobs that Americans won't do…" Then they tell us the solution to the crimes of illegal immigration and illegal employment is to repeat the failed amnesty/legalization, path-to-citizenship program of 1986. Transforming the illegal aliens into… Americans.
Got that?
Locally, our ever-dependable foil, MDJ blogger Kevin Foley, qualifies as one of the above "path-to-citizenship-is-the-answer" described lefties.
In a comment post on a recent blog from yours truly, Foley challenges an old friend, Leah Durant, to produce information showing that illegals take jobs from Americans with "I'd love to see the independent data supporting Ms. Durant's assertion that undocumented workers are stealing American jobs." As long as this character keeps lobbing hanging softballs over the plate, we will continue to smack them into the bleachers.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. We think video is worth even more.
Here is a short CBS Atlanta news video for Kevin Foley from Cobb's recent past on black-market labor taking the jobs. And criminal employers cheating taxpayers.
And for the members of the Cobb BOC who need encouragement to implement an ordinance requiring that all public contractors be certified through the federal IMAGE program. That no-cost process is opposed by the powerful business lobby including the Chamber of Commerce because it would serve to expose illegal aliens on the contractors payroll.
We lack the time today to post any more links to similar videos. But readers can access some of them on the "videos" page of the under-funded Dustin Inman Society Website.
As always, our gratitude to Kevin Foley for confirming the obvious.
For those of you who haven't had the dubious pleasure of reading the goop that Democrat hack Kevin Foley of Kennesaw Georgia writes in newspaper columns and blogs at the Marietta Daily Journal, let this serve as an introduction to his typical mindless, liberal race-baiting.
In April, Kevin Foley, a self-described "Progressive" felt the need to take a swing at the Tea Party and Republican congressman Allen West in a newspaper column by explaining to the reader that "Tea partiers like West are failing because they see modern America in monochrome. The country has changed since the Constitution was written, yet tea partiers long for the days of when a man — and only a white man — could do as he pleased, however he pleased."
Got that?
Setting aside for a moment that Tea Party members come in all descriptions and colors, what Foley didn't know (this guy should get out more) – and what he failed to even research – is that Congressman Allen West happens to be a proud black American.
While reading this little gem here, it took this humble writer a couple of minutes to stop chuckling at Progressive-Kevin-Foley-of Kennesaw-Georgia and his obvious play-the race-card, ask- questions-never style of smearing. Apparently, research is for the less gifted.
It gets better. And more insightful.
The MDJ ran a well written letter to the editor in response to Foley's silly race-baiting from a local Tea Party leader named Jan Barton with an observation on the above that was to the point in asking someone to explain Allen West's race to Foley (race, skin color and ethnicity are all very important to liberals).
Mrs. Barton's letter went like this:
Foley proved facts don't matter
May 08, 2012
A friend of ours for nearly ten years, Leah Durant is the Executive Director head of "Progressives For Immigration Reform", an organization that (somebody get out the smelling salts for occasionally accurate Kevin "make-'em-all-legal" Foley) demands justice in immigration by…enforcing American immigration laws.
You can see Leah and friends in a short video from the PFIR YOUTUBE page and visit the PFIR website to see some common sense positions on immigration as related to what many in the media would like you to believe are separate issues. They aren't.
Leah Durant rocks!
For those readers who are following the "we must be careful" news story involving the fact that the Cobb County Board of Commissioners started the education process on the federal IMAGE certification process in 2010, announced the intention to apply more than a year ago and publicly signed an agreement with ICE in May, you can see the big ugly bald guy's public comments (no laughing!) to the Board at Tuesday's regular meeting and Chairman Tim Lee's response. Anyone on the Board responding to a public comment is rather unusual.
Be advised that there is zero reason that Cobb cannot require IMAGE certification for all contractors. There is already a state law in place that requires use of E-Verify before a public contractor can have a bid accepted by a public employer like Cobb County. We did that in the Capitol in 2006. And zero reason that an ordinance that has already been sent to the county legal department to be drafted cannot see a vote at the next meeting on Tuesday July 24 – at 7:00 PM.
To many contractors, the terrifying part of the process of becoming IMAGE certified is a federal audit of past hiring documents called "I-9" forms that can expose any use of false or stolen documents – thereby exposing illegal alien workers who are taking food out of the mouths of American workers families.. This is the last thing many contractors want or will sit still for. The Chamber of Commerce and the construction lobby is using all of their considerable power to stall this until they can find an excuse to kill it after the primary election on July 31st.
Serious problems with contractors using bargain basement priced, taxpayer subsidized black market labor have been exposed multiple times here in Cobb County in the past. You can watch a 2010 WSB TV news report – one of several – here. You can also watch a 2011 Fox Five TV undercover report on your tax dollars going to dishonest contractors and illegal aliens.
Two commissioners, Bob Ott and Jo Anne Birrell have already started the ordinance process… three weeks ago. Bill Byrne, one of four candidates for the County Chairmanship, released a media advisory yesterday promising to use the power of the Chairman's seat to get an IMAGE certification requirement in place. To my knowledge, this is the only candidate to do so. I have no idea where the other two commissioners, Woody Thompson and Helen Gorham stand on the IMAGE certification requirement for contractors. Hmmm…
After spending the last decade on illegal immigration, I can tell you that IMAGE certification is the ultimate tool to insure a legal workforce. Which is why it may never be introduced into the system.
I can also tell you that unless considerable public pressure is exerted on Cobb's Board of Commissioners, including the current Chairman, this cost-free, 100% effective instrument to root-out the illegal alien infestation in our public-funded work crews will remain a little known, unused tool.
If you want to help, you can access instructions, background and contact information from a recent Dustin Inman Society "ACTION NEEDED" alert our organization sent out this week. If you want to put your name on our email list to receive future alerts you can see the link on the Dustin Inman Society Website's Homepage.
All politics is local and silence is consent.
Editor's note: D.A. King is president and founder of the pro-enforcement, Cobb-based Dustin Inman Society and a nationally recognized authority on illegal immigration.
Saturday, July 7 marked two years since a very dear friend and a great American named Terry Anderson passed away at age sixty. Terry lived in Los Angeles, California, USA which is easily and accurately described as the illegal immigration capital of the world. Terry lived in his neighborhood most of his life and watched as the invasion of California forever changed his corner of America in about two decades.
I post here in case anyone wants to read a heartfelt good-bye written by yours truly to honor someone we miss very much at our house. Another friend, Mark Krikorian, wrote about Terry's death on the National Review website. It is well worth your time.
One of the things that Terry and I used to laugh about was the fact that because he was quite vocal and effective in demanding an equal application of American laws – even immigration laws and employment laws, even for illegal aliens from Latin America and pointed out that illegal immigration effects America's poorest first - he was regularly smeared as a "racist" and even a "white supremacist. "
For the race-baiting Kevin Foley's of the world, here is a two-minute video of Terry testifying in congress on what illegal immigration from Mexico had done to his community by 1999. Go for it…
You can see a photo or two of Terry (that's him holding up the placard that reads " GRINGOS FOR AMERICA") at the first pro-enforcement rally I ever staged from the photo collection on the Dustin Inman Society website ("1000 words" page). The one of Terry being checked out by Angry-Jerry-with-ties-to a-SPLC-designated-hate-group Gonzalez of the tribalist, anti-enforcement GALEO always cracked us up too.
This just in! Progressive Kevin Foley has finally acknowledged that despite his repeated proclamations that this writer was inaccurate on the matter, Obama's DREAM Act amnesty of June 15 was not an Executive Order.
He says the media made him get it wrong. (see Foley's latest entry on my latest MDJ column comments)Would somebody please tell Kevin Foley the message and topic in my column was that the Cobb BOC should protect jobs and American's Social Security numbers by using the IMAGE certification tool requirement for public contractors?
Somebody please tell Foley that the media seldom gets it right or complete on illegal immigration?
Foley even included part of an apology in his admission. But he couldn't help going on to give us further insight into the way his leftist mind functions. In the same comment in which he is admitting he simply accepted media reports even after being told multiple times that the reports were wrong, he feels compelled to insert this little gem: "I think silence in the face of the far right misinformation tsunami (see my MDJ column tomorrow) is antithetical to democracy, especially in Cobb where the MDJ is pretty much the only large public forum."
"Misinformation tsunami" indeed. What a case this guy is.
And while we are here, can somebody clue-in liberal Foley on the fact that the United States of America is not, never has been and was never intended to be a "Democracy?"
Foley assured us that he will do better on fact checking in the future. Then, being the arrogant sort, went on to warn me to "You should be sure you do the same." Yawn. Somebody please tell Foley he can read every newspaper column I have ever written over the last decade and that he is welcome to use the vast superior intellect he still believes he possesses to find inaccuracies in them?
Foley closes his admission and apology with "(I hope you and your followers note I didn't have to revert to sophomoric name-calling to make my point. Would you had that skill.)"
How rich. How hilarious.
Let's be clear: The first time someone pointed out Foley's existence was when he assured blog readers that he was an expert at public relations: "I have worked in public relations for most of my 35-year career. That's another way of saying I work with words. In my business, the right words can influence, motivate and even inspire. The wrong words can alienate, anger and hurt. When I work with clients, I always advise them to take the high road. Tell your audience what is right with your brand, not what's wrong with your competition's." This on his way to suggesting that I end any reference to illegal aliens by describing them as "illegal aliens." "So here's a bit of PR advice for Mr. King: Make your argument, sir, but please take the high road."
Over the last ten years, it was about the 100th time I had read this parroted variation on the constant ridiculous liberal effort to redefine the English language so as to redefine the fact that illegal aliens are illegal. And, while I seldom do, I said as much in a reply.
"Sophomoric name-calling?" "Take the high road?" Oy Vey.
Having spent far too much time reading Foley's past columns, blog entries and his ever-present comments on the same in the last couple of days, I see that Foley the arrogant liberal wasn't at all happy with my response to his call from the mountain-top to use ACLU/La Raza invented, PC terms and refer to illegal aliens as "undocumented workers."
While apparently incensed enough to go ahead and attack the Cobb community in general, Foley's high road, "motivational and inspiring" words in response to being rejected went like this: "He responded to my well-mannered suggestions with a smug, condescending justification of his brand of racial prejudice. Yes, Mr. King, it's racial. You can stop pretending now. Along with Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, you've simply found a way to camouflage your bias against Latinos and Hispanics by wrapping yourself in the American flag and crying "our laws are being broken!". And like a lot of demagogues you're even somewhat famous hereabouts, where it's not terribly difficult to find other bigoted bullies who'll line up with you. Haven't we seen this movie before? It used to be "uppity Negros" who "didn't know their place" in the old Jim Crow era; burning Freedom Rider buses, poll taxes, and Bull Connor's attack dogs. Now it's undocumented workers, most of whom find themselves employed and often exploited by American business owners, doing the dirty jobs none of us want to do: Cleaning toilets, washing dishes, gutting chickens, digging holes. And D.A. King adds to their misery."
Got that folks? You can read the entire MDJ blog from angry Kevin Foley.
Golly, how surprising. A pro-amnesty, liberal empty-suit who anxiously believes what the liberal media tells him – and doesn't tell him - on illegal immigration and illegal employment spewing "racist" at anyone who demands that immigration laws be enforced. How unusual, ehh? See what I mean by argument-free, mindless liberal race-baiter?
I will happily pass Foley's hateful name-calling on to the members of the Board of Advisors of the Dustin Inman Society. Including the proud Latino and Black American members.
Progressive Kevin Foley should get accustomed to retractions, corrections and apologies. And we aren't nearly finished with this pompous wanna-be yet.
Readers should make it a point to read Kevin Foley and from here at El Rancho King, a large "thank you" to the newspaper for educating its readers on just what a liberal really is.
Should I count this as a badge of honor or just plain creepy? Kevin Foley seems to be fixated on… me. Too bad it's not on those pesky facts. Progressive Foley also seems to be a great legend in his own mind. Count me among the group who thinks his giant self-image is massively overly positive.
At the urging of several readers, I just spent some time reading some of the comments posted below my columns and blogs here at the MDJ for the last several months. Not something I normally have taken the time to do in the past.
Holy cow! It seems that Politics Progressive Kevin Foley has spent considerable time reading my stuff and posting (and posting, and posting and posting…) on the comments section. He even posts on his own blogs and columns! Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing, as exposing the ego, mindset and agenda of mindless, knee-jerk, race-baiting liberals is always educational for people who haven't been dealing with them directly and daily for more than a decade.
But Kevin Foley seems quite determined to make himself a glaring parody of the above.
Many friends, including members of the Board of Advisors of the Dustin Inman Society, a Georgia-based pro-enforcement immigration group I struggle to run, have made it clear they regard Foley as "a gnat unworthy of swatting." But it is clear that this character wants some attention. We have decided to grant his wish.
Time permitting; what Kevin Foley writes for the MDJ will now be an occasional focus of this writer. Let's call it "Foley's Fantasy Follies Watch."
That said, for today, out of many possibilities, let's just focus on a situation to illustrate the wit and wisdom of Kevin Foley that Foley has created entirely by himself, using his arrogance and lack of research or knowledge of topics on which he pontificates.
That being presidential "Executive Orders", what they are, and whether Ruler Obama has indeed used an EO in his DREAM Act amnesty announcement of June 15, 2012.
He hasn't. And I wrote as much in an educational addition to a column ('Cobb BOC not using federal IMAGE tool to protect jobs', MDJ, July 2, 2012) that ran in the MDJ this week.
The quote from my column on which Foley has volunteered his uneducated but stern opinion: "…Obama made an announcement (it was not an Executive Order) from the White House Rose Garden that he had instructed his DHS Chief, Janet Napolitano, to "temporarily" defer enforcement action on yet another group of illegal aliens who say they were brought here as children and who claim to be less than 31 years old. With raging unemployment, "Dear Ruler" also plans on issuing them work permits."
Kevin Foley has felt compelled to post several amusing derisive comments below the online version of my column with his typical uninformed bombastic ignorance. One of them goes like this:
Kevin Foley - Not an executive order? Of course it was: In a Rose Garden address Friday afternoon, President Barack Obama said the changes caused by his executive order will make immigration policy "more fair, more efficient and more just."
Don't let the facts get in your way, Mr. King.
I Googled the above "evidence" Foley used. It came from CNN.
It is true that many news agencies have reported that Obama's DREAM Act amnesty was created by Executive Order and then retracted; from the LA Times on June 17, 2012:
A previous version of the headline referred to a change in the Obama administration's deportation enforcement policy as an executive order. In fact, the policy change came as a directive from the Secretary of Homeland Security. Somebody send this to Kevin Foley?
It is also true that many in the liberal anti-enforcement media get their "facts" right and accurate sometimes. Also true that most liberals only to hear a murmur of something in the press that they desperately want to be true to take the "almost fact" and expand it, then present their latest piece of misinformation based on that falsehood. Hello Kevin Foley.
Wikipedia has some basic information on Executive Orders for beginners ( hello Kevin Foley): "Until the early 1900s, executive orders went mostly unannounced and undocumented, seen only by the agencies to which they were directed. However, the Department of State instituted a numbering scheme for executive orders in 1907, starting retroactively with an order issued on October 20, 1862, by President Abraham Lincoln. The documents that later came to be known as "Executive Orders" probably gained their name from this document, captioned "Executive Order Establishing a Provisional Court in Louisiana."
Someone ask Foley to cite the number of Obama's supposed EO on DREAM Act amnesty? Please?
Note that the White House keeps a (long) list of Executive Orders made by Obama and that the DREAM Act amnesty is not on it. Because Obama simply told his Homeland Security puppet not to enforce American immigration law for yet another group of illegal aliens and then announced the pandering policy from the White House Rose Garden. Don't let the facts get in your way, Foley.
It is even more amusing that when challenged by a reader, Foley repeats his snarling contention with a quote from yet another news agency that gets it wrong. Conclusion? Make your own, but I suggest Foley takes the sage advice from writers through time "write about what you know."
A practice which would limit him to parroting the "facts" he is able to glean from scanning liberal media headlines and quoting the far left bloggers and "foundations" that depend on people like him to spread the misinformation on which they exist.
Prediction: Kevin Foley will never admit he was wrong. And I will never get back the hour of my life it has taken to type this up.

BROOKSVILLE, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Deborah Evans has been around farming her entire life. She owns Bagaduce Farm in Brooksville, where she produces items such as caramels and lard. But until recently, she wasn't allowed to share her products with consumers because her food wasn't regulated by the state; a luxury her small farm could not afford.
Last week,that all changed.In a 112-64 vote,Deborah'stown of Brooksville passed a food sovereignty ordinance that allows small farms to sell their products direct to consumers without the farm having to meet state regulation standards.
No regulation does not mean poor quality food. In fact, Deborah believes customers know that small local farms provide a better product than big corporations do, regardless of regulation.
"Quality and integrity are two things that exist within our small communities, within our small farms, and they know that quality and integrity never show up in the discussion at the industrial level," she said.
But some Brooksville farmers do not believe unregulated food in the market place is a good idea. Robert Bowen owns Sunset acre farms, and he says state regulators have been an asset to his business.
"We've had instances where they've actually found issues here at the farm that we've had to correct, some of which we'd have never known if the state hadn't been here to do it," he said.
And Brooksville isn't the only town to pass this ordinance. There are eight others, and state legislators have noticed. Representative Ralph Chapman of Brooksville says there are several bills in the works that will allow food sovereignty rules to be applied statewide.
Until state legislation passes, it is state law that all food must be regulated before it is distributed to consumers, but Brooksville is paving the way for all farmers, regulated or unregulated, to sell be able to sell their goods.

Amidst the controversy of the National Security Agency "mining" telephone company records concerning millions of Americans phone calling habits and the fact that President Bush admitted early this year that some Americans have had their phones tapped without the process being approved even by secretive courts, now we find that schools have been required to give the military information about students so that they can contact them for recruiting purposes.
This issue arose on this past weekend when the Deseret News printed a story about the situation. Most citizens, particularly parents have been unaware that this was being done by schools.
According to polls by the Salt Lake paper the majority of people don't see it as a problem; they believe that giving the government information that we would fear giving to just about anyone else is okay.
I'm not sure how I feel about giving the information up to the military for recruiting purposes; it isn't like students and graduates can't make their minds up for themselves. No one is forcing them into the military, although as in all sales, key prospects are identified through the process. But I do have a problem with the way this has been done over the past few years.
A few years ago when the No Child Left Behind Act was passed there was a provision of the law that included the directive that schools must give up this information to recruiters, or possibly lose federal funds.
Most people that were interested in education all concentrated on the provisions of the bill such as yearly adequate progress and other provisions that would mean an outward change in the way education must deal with students. Few must have seen this provision, or because of the ramifications of the rest of the bills impact, the word was slow to get out.
Congress has always been famous for sneaking provisions in bills, particularly spending bills, on things they really don't want a spot light on. Usually those things have to do with pork barrel spending. But once in awhile, or maybe more since I don't have the time to read every bill that goes through congress, they slip in things that might be debated heavily if it were brought to the forefront.
When you speak to members of congress, almost all of them will admit that they don't have time to read all the bills they vote on. Most have staff members who go through the bills and present a summary to the elected official who will cast a nay or a yea on the capitol floor. Certainly, despite these efforts things get through that members just don't see.
The hypocrisy I see here is that members of congress continually criticize the president for things he may do somewhat below what they consider the surface of the law, but they do it themselves within bills and things they propose all the time.
Whether the provision about schools was hidden or it was just there and no one noticed, is certainly debatable. But it is just another example of things being forced on us as citizens without our knowledge.
And if it was done to avoid our knowledge of it, it is that much more despicable.

The state Senate, in its 2013-14 budget resolution passed Monday, has expressed an openness to discussing an increase in the minimum wage though so far no actual numbers have been proposed.
The Senate has obviously got some concerns, said Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome.
Last week the Assembly passed a bill that would increase the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 an hour and marry future increases to the rate of inflation.
The Senate understands that the minimum wage hasnt increased in quite a few years, said Sen. Elizabeth OC. Little, R-Queensbury. But a 24 percent increase in one year is onerous on small businesses.
The Senate wants to look at what the impact will be on business and the impact on jobs, Mrs. Little said.
Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, agreed.
This is something that many of us have said should be a federal issue, she said. I understand how tough it is if someone was trying to survive on the current minimum wage. But were actually in the end going to cause small businesses to lay off people.
Mr. Griffo said he would be interested in a multiyear phase-in of a higher minimum wage, accompanied by tax cuts and tax incentives for small businesses.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said the minimum wage increase would be a positive step for New Yorks economy.
Those that are working at the lowest end of the wage scale are not able to get ahead at all, Mrs. Russell said, especially in parts of the north country that requires that you have a vehicle. ... It will start pumping more money into our economy.
But, Mrs. Russell said, while she thinks there are enough votes in the Senate to pass a minimum wage increase, its a matter of making sure that the bill comes to the floor.
In the Senate, while Democrats have a majority, Republicans and five rogue Democrats have formed the Senate Majority Coalition.
We probably wouldnt deal with it if we were in the majority, Mr. Griffo said.
Assemblyman Kenneth J. Blankenbush, R-Black River, said he thinks the Assembly bill that passed last week is more posturing than anything.
Its more of a political statement and now we have to go over and compromise and see what we can come up with before the end of the week, he said. Should there be an increase? Probably its time to start talking like that. I think it is too much. The small businesses and the agriculture community will be the ones that are really hurting.

There are two flavors of avi, interleaved and non-interleaved. The interleaved type consists of packets of video and audio "interleaved" to make synchronous playback and seeking possible. The non-interleaved type consists of the entire video stream followed by the entire audio stream, a fragile construction indeed. It is possible to concatenate avi container content and produce really horrible things, even to the extent of mixing interleaved and non-interleaved avi material.
The avi container format was invented by Micro$oft.

Thursday, March 07, 2013
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field team travels to Birmingham Ala., for the Southern Invitational hosted by Birmingham Southern College on Friday and Saturday.
"Birmingham Southern is kind of a low-key meet," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "We are just trying to continue to get better. It gives us another opportunity to play with some events, kind of like with our sprinters last week. A lot of our runners will be moving down into sprints this week. It just lets us bracket some things early to get more prepared for actual events."
Taking center stage on Friday is the steeplechase.
"The steeple is a fun and exciting event," Taylor said. "We have been working for quite a while on hurdle technique and more recently the water jump. A lot of athletes will be running their first steeple ever, so it will be very interesting."
Ashton Fischer claimed second place at the A-Sun Championships a year ago and will be joined by Ben Wright as the veterans of the men's group.
"Those two will lead the way but we have a bunch of freshmen that will go out and we will see where they are," Taylor said.
The women are led by school-record holder Kendra Lobley who also qualified for the preliminary round for nationals last year. Running her first-ever steeple will be Dani Walker.
"I think everyone should try it once in their career," Taylor said. "It will also make for an interesting Friday night for us."
Walker is coming off the initial A-Sun Track Athlete of the Week after posting the top time in the nation in the 800-meter run last weekend. Her time of 2:08.33 claimed the top spot in the first weekend of the outdoor season and is good enough to make the NCAA Preliminary Nationals, if the times from the last three years hold true.
"Dani looks smooth, relaxed and is making good decisions in races," Taylor said. "This is really the beginning. She is finally starting to figure out how to use her mind. I don't expect her marks now to be the end of it. I think this is a new ground level."
The Southern Invitation starts at 3 p.m. Friday with field events and the steeplechase at 4:30 as the only track event scheduled on the first day. Saturday gets underway at 9 a.m. for both field and track events.

Midwest Living Review
Of all of the places we have stayed -- and our team of travel writers stays in hundreds of lodgings each year -- this is among the most distinctive. Built in 1870, Bishop Hill Guest House stands on a ridgetop just east of Madison, Indiana, and exudes a wonderful blend of history, luxury and nature that experienced travelers appreciate. We can best describe the home as "Civil War chic." The dining room table and some of the furnishings in the front parlor are primitive, but the kitchen has granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. The bedrooms have king beds with high-thread-count sheets. And the baths are beautifully updated, with new fixtures and amazingly soft, big towels. A photo of the home's original occupants hangs in the hallway, a reminder of how much time has passed since it was built and how the current owners appreciate that history.Bishop Hill sits on 300 rolling acres, and guests are welcome to hike the two mowed trails through the property. We found the trails to be fairly rigorous; for easy walks, just stroll along the gravel road and listen to the songbirds and the lowing cattle from some nearby field. A bird feeder also stands outside the living room, so guests can relax, grab a guidebook and admire the dining feathered guests. A full kitchen also makes it easy to cook meals here, and a large outdoor table and chairs set makes for a perfect setting to dine. From $200/night.

Photos From Monday's Packers Practice
This morning we took the boys to their first Packers Practice and thought I share these photos I took while there. We ended up not staying the entire time as the boys got antsy about half way through although have to say, for the time we were there they did amazingly well. Most of these are of the defense as that's what end of the field we were on but also got some good ones of the quarterbacks warming up & Kevin Greene drinking a soda.

If they want us to believe 95 wins is possible making moves like these are necessary. His demands have to be within reason and his off-field character issues have to be addressed. And so far they have not improved this team.
If you worried about off-field character issues, maybe Delmon Young isn't the best fit. There is no hiding we need a right handed complement in left field and DH. We have that between 2 of Conor Jackson, Danny Valencia, Nolan Reimold, and Steve Pearce.

Scott Eastwood's spread in Town & Country created quite the buzz earlier this week.
Now, the magazine has released the rest of the shots from his sexy shoot. And yes, many are shirtless.
27-year-old Scott is the son of actor Clint Eastwood and Jaclyn Reeves. We're not sure about his relationship status, but with his movie star looks, we're sure many ladies (and some guys) are shamelessly throwing themselves at him.
Anyway, enough talk.
Check out the bonus photos from Scott's "Town & Country" spread above, and be sure to pick up the October issue on newsstands now if you want a permanent memento.

Depends on how difficult it is to get to a place. If it's something just off the beaten track, easily accessible, then hell no don't post it!If it takes some buswhacking, rock scrambling, river wading, poison oak filled adventure to get there, then sure... post it.I've posted a few trip reports from my canyon rambling adventures in Big Sur, but those trips are kind of beyond the comfort level of most hikers, not really beyond their skill level, just comfort level. If anyone can haul their ass up to the Window in Big Sur, that's the kind of person I wouldn't mind seeing out there and chatting with.On the other hand, it's nice going into an area that yields no search results in google.

Are you trying to say that since you found some gems and enjoy them without the crowds, you don't want to give them up to everyone else? How selfish. You should have to share them with everyone. ;)
"BTW, I am going hiking in Louisiana in a couple of weeks -- any advice on alligators?"Nick, do you mean a recipe?--B.G.--
No, not sure if I should be worried -- black bears don't worry me.
Nick we swam in rivers that had gators when I worked at a Therapy camp. They weren't real thick though. They do come up on land just be aware. Personally I'd look at renting a kayak or canoe you could probably see more that way and you could actually get closer to a gator. Course you'd see more people boating which I know you won't like. Its probably hunting season there and there will be a LOT more people hunting then in CA, I'd wear orange.
Swimming with gators...that's therapy in Louisiana. Replace all your nervous ticks with one big fear?

"How selfish. You should have to share them with everyone."Shame on selfish ol' Nick!BTW, I saw your post tonight about all the trails you are finding near your house. Pretty cool. See if you can find some old Topo maps of the area, try the library. I have found remnants of old trails that I put together with old maps that have been removed from newer versions. Sometimes they are old Native American trails.
I figure if I share a location and other people visit it, it will be less likely to be clear cut.And if I can encourage people go out in the wilderness more, they will develop a better attitude and start treating each other better which will ripple out and create world peace : )
here is an alternative view for those who are hesitant to share their secret spots ...by sharing these spots and bringing in hoards of others who in your opinion destroy them for your private use, you are freeing yourself of the strings that tie you to these spots and allowing yourself to soar once again in search of something new and possibly even better. I would argue the search is much more valuable than the spot.
Art,I alluded to that in my first post. However, some of us have favorite places that are close to home and enable us to take quick one or two night trips without the logistics of driving somewhere far. You see, I have an inventory of around 140 days per year that can potentially be used for outdoor pursuits. Unfortunately (or fortunately) 104 of them are 2-day weekends, which is why you rarely see me posting here on weekends -- I am usually backpacking or camping.
Really depends. On the coast, there are so many people, you may want to keep your nature stash secret. In the interior west, most are drawn to the high-points (along crests and going up to peaks), hot springs, camps with reliable water, etc.. though I know some hiking parties who specially try to find un-maintained trails and try to get more traffic going through to support keeping more wilderness. Of course many trails have been burnt in the last few years of mega-fire, so the point may be moot. Louisiana can be nice this time of year if you can find some dry land to camp. Gets cold and damp in December though.Ed: locales

Backpacker Magazine (yes, that paragon of outdoor virtue and wisdom) addressed this issue a few years ago, saying something to the effect that traffic to locations that they profiled would increase for a year or two afterwards but then would die back down to normal.That said, a good falls or secret pool relatively near a major metropolitan area is probably best kept on "close hold" (trusted friends only).I recently put together some route info for trips in the San Gorgonio Wilderness in S. Calif. These are all on trail trips with quota based wilderness permits required. It'll be interesting to see if visitation to these places increases. I did take one short cut off after Nick dunned me about the ears. :)HJAdventures In Stoving
"BTW, I am going hiking in Louisiana in a couple of weeks -- any advice on alligators?"Yeah, don't get eaten.There is no limit to super cool places and routes that connect them together. The fun is stitching together a cool route then seeing if reality comes close to the plan. If you are just following a trip report with pictures, it takes the unknown out the trip for the most part.
"There is no limit to super cool places and routes that connect them together. The fun is stitching together a cool route then seeing if reality comes close to the plan."+1 big time! That's where the fun is.
The OP mentioned that "secret spots" are part of the surfing culture -- same thing in the climbing world. Sometimes the person who put up a sport route (not visible from a road) will keep it strictly sworn to secrecy for as long as possible.In general, these things are largely self-screening: the more off-trail and difficult-to-get-to a place is, the fewer people you'll see. Even in Grand Canyon, we often spend multiple days in the backcountry seeing only one other group, and often seeing no one! Let me tell you, Surprise Valley in June is NOT crowded! ;~)But honestly, even if you think that "no one has ever been to my secret spot" -- you're probably wrong. I have been bushwhacking DEEP in the backcountry in several states and found an old pen. or an old rusted can, etc. Many of us who search for indian ruins in the SW would NOT want to disturb them. We just look, take photos, and move on -- and we leave no trace.
Here in the crowded Northeast of NJ/NY/E.PA, it is difficult to find some quality spots. With 2 little girls at home, I have a difficult time getting away for some "me time". And when I do, I often try and go early, so I don't miss much of the day. Also, things can tend to get a little crowded here - especially at places just off the interstates. I've managed to find some great spots at my local state park (though I now need to share it with MTBers), local game lands, some other state parks within 75min drive, and even some county and "private" open space places too. Because of my infrequent venturing, and short window to do so, I am increasingly keeping these places close to my chest. I used to be a hike leader for the AMC, but have since shied away from that, and rather than sharing my places, I have tried to keep them secret. Additionally - and since I am such an introvert - I tend to enjoy the woods either alone or in a tiny group of close friends. I tend to not like the 'social' nature of the group-led AMC hikes. Also, I like to do my outings at my pace ("fast") and start time ("early"), and would rather not want to cater to the needs of a larger group (late start, slow pace, all-day adventure). EDIT: I'd like to add that on a recent outing to my local Nat.Rec. Area, I was able to find some trails to give me the mileage and solitude that I desired. I didn't see another person until the return end of my loop (along popular trails). Bliss. Lastly, I want to try and keep my favorite places to myself, and then share them (and the reasons why I like them) with my girls when the time comes. Sharing the places with too many other people might sully the "specialness" that sharing the secret place with my girls would bring.

I don't share where I go. I like secrets and solitude.
"In general, these things are largely self-screening: the more off-trail and difficult-to-get-to a place is, the fewer people you'll see."-----I agree with this. In my neck of the woods, 5 miles screens out most of the hordes. Once you get past the 5 mile mark (from the trailhead) you're pretty much alone. Go off trail and you can be alone well before that. The more vertical gain, the quicker the crowds disappear. I do most of my hiking in the mountains, for that reason.I love reading trip reports, but completely understand when people choose not to divulge exact locations. I just like reading about the trip and seeing the photos.
In general, in my area, even if something is well-publicized you can be fairly certain beyond the 5-10 mile mark you will not see another person. Go out on an ordinary weekend, not a holiday, and your odds increase that you won't see another person. I have a fairly popular website about local trails and still the typical conversation about any of the places I go is "where's that?" Usually followed by "you're crazy!" People go to the front country trails and that's about it.

We all know that His Noodliness (Pasta Be Upon Him) is composed of pasta and meatballs.
I have a friend who is a lapsed Hindu but still retains a lot of the cultural things that go with it. She's interested in Pastafarianism but really doesn't like the idea that the FSM could be made of beef.
I've suggested that the meatballs are metaphysical and therefore could be made of anything, but she's like something more concrete. I've suggested that the meatballs might be made of that yummy pork and shrimp mix you get inside wunton dumplings. Would this be okay?

Under FERPA, Shenandoah may release directory information about students without notifying the student. Directory information is defined as information contained in an education record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. At Shenandoah, directory information includes the following:
- student name, address, telephone number and email address
- date and place of birth
- participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams
- major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received
- most recent previous school attended
- photograph or vido clip
The university may disclose any of those items without prior written consent, unless notified in writing to the contrary. Your student may opt out of sharing directory information by completing the Request to Withhold Directory Information form in the Registrar's Office. However, your student is urged to think carefully about such a request. If a request to withhold directory information is made, university officials will not be able to publish news releases about student achievements, include your student in articles about sports achievements, print your student's information in the commencement program, or verify your student's degree or status to potential employers, insurers or lenders, for example. The university's withholding of directory information may have unexpected or undesirable ramifications. Please contact the Registrar's Office for more information.
Please understand that restrictions on directory information and the sharing of educational records extend to Shenandoah alumni as well, so any requests your student makes will remain in effect until he or she submits a change, in writing, to the Registrar's Office.

Tweet: Things May Be Even Worse Than We Thought
In a memo that PHT obtained that Donald Fehr sent to the players last night, Fehr said that there was still quite a big gap "In short, the concessions on future salary we have offered (at least $948 Million to $1.25 Billion over five years, depending on HRR growth) are not enough. We are still being told that more salaries must be conceded, and that very valuable player contracting rights must be surrendered. So, while we are meeting again, and while some steps are being taken, there is still a lot of work to be done and bridges to be crossed before an agreement can be made."

Football has returned to the sport lineup at College of Eastern Utah.
European football, anyway.
The Eagles will extend their athletic talent to the soccer field this season with a new mens club team. And, if all goes well in the upcoming years, coach Ron Dadgari hopes to see the club upgraded to a fully-supported school sport team.
Dadgari, a native of Iran, brings an extensive amount of playing and coaching experience to the team. For a couple of years, Dadgari played for Iran's professional club before moving to the states. Once in Salt Lake City, he guided youth programs for several years.
He now hopes that his excitement for the sport will rub off in Carbon County.
"I thought it was something I could give to the community," he commented.
Interest in forming a team began early this year when several players participated in spring season competition. The young men approached CEU athletic director Dave Paur to request that the school field a fall team.
With the help of local businesses and fund raising, the team will begin their 2004 season on Sept. 17 against Dixie. Dadgari said without local support and a boost from the school, the team would not have been realized.
"We're not really alone. Local businesses and the college have been pretty kind in helping us," he pointed out.
In addition to Dixie, CEU's schedule will include Snow College, Southern Utah University, Weber, Brigham Young University of Idaho and other regional club teams.
Dadgari said the addition of soccer to CEU activities will give Carbon County youth more options. He adds his hopes that Carbon High will serve as a good feeder program for the club team.
"I think sports are the answer for the kids here because there's not a lot to do," he stated.
The team will host its first home game on Oct. 1 at 5 p.m. against Weber. Dadgari encourages the community to come out and support the team, which he expects to keep right up with the more experienced schools.
"I think we are in that level, otherwise they wouldn't have invited us," he concluded.

Archive for the 'Pullman Six-Wheeler' tag
Genius inaction: the six-wheeled automobile
How bad did the roads at the turn of the century suck? Not that bad, if you traveled around by carriage. The slow speeds of a horse-drawn conveyance meant you might have felt the bumps, but they didn't shock your tailbone. By automobile, however, at speeds much faster than ol' Bess could trot, you suffered. To handle the roads, some automotive pioneers like Henry Ford built a degree of flexibility into the chassis of their automobiles, and many experimented with different configurations of the basic buggy spring. But no less than three independent thinker-tinkerers thought of a different way – the six-wheeled automobile.
Of course, adding a third axle is rather commonplace among latter-day customizers, especially those in the vannin' and sport-truck scenes. It's also been a recurring theme on race cars over the years. But where the latter group did so for traction and the former group did so for attention (and some did so simply for load bearing), these early six-wheeled machines came about only from their creators' efforts to provide a smoother ride on the rutted roads of the day, and thus were made obsolete by modern and widespread paving and advances in suspension technology.
Surely the most well-known of them was the Reeves Sextoauto, pictured above. Milton O. Reeves had a pretty good thing going with his Reeves Pulley Company, which manufactured overhead pulleys for factories. But he constantly tinkered with automobiles, fitting them with his own inventions, including a variable speed transmission. He actually made a go as an automobile manufacturer in 1898 and from 1905 to 1910, but it's his last three cars that he's best known for today. The first, what he called the Octoauto, actually used eight wheels – four steering up front, four out back – and was based on a 1910 Overland. Reeves exhibited it at the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911, but couldn't find any buyers (maybe the $3,200 price tag – about $75,000 today – scared them away), so the next year, he removed one of the steering axles from the Overland to create the Sextoauto, and followed that with another six-wheeled automobile based on a Stutz chassis. The Sextoauto, with a $5,000 price tag (about $115,000 today), saw no more success than the Octoauto.

Working glitter into your makeup routine can be tricky. In fact, for 11 months out of the year, we'd suggest sticking to nail polish or skipping glitter entirely. But this month, with a calendar full of festivities, we encourage you to go crazy--sort of. Nars' National Makeup Stylist, Janice Daoud, agrees: "Glitter is best when emphasized in one area," she says. "If your eye shadow has glitter, skip the flecks in your gloss." Speaking of flecks, before you embark on this challenge, we encourage you to pay attention to their size. Big flakes in your nail polish? Great. On your face? Not so much.Daoud's holiday pick is Nars' Andy Warhol Soft Touch Pencil ($24) in Silver Factory. The brand's soft pencils are easy to use and layer. "Apply to the lid then add any light-reflecting shadow on top," she says. M.A.C.'s Pressed Pigment ($21) in Deeply Dashing turns the silver warm and subtle, while Laura Geller's Baked Eyeshadow ($24) in Stainless Teal is party-ready. Want more options? Lancome's Color Design Palette ($49) in Violet Magnetique boasts five colors and built-in directions for building a vivid smoky eye.
Hard Candy might not be packing plastic heart rings anymore, but its devotion to sparkle is still unmatched. Try rimming your eyes with their Take Me Out Eyeliner ($5) in Truffle or Handcuffs for a light-catching cat-eye. Not wild enough? Sephora's Deco Daze Glitter Eyeliner Appliques ($5) are even easier to apply and come in gold, silver, and purple.
If you'd rather stick to flecks of gold on your lips, there's no shortage of glitter-infused gloss on the market. Dolce & Gabbana's Ultra-Shine Lipgloss ($29) in Pink Diamond looks purple but goes on clear, while Bobbi Brown's High Shimmer Lip Gloss ($23) in Oyster turns frosty. Le Metier de Beaute's Sheer Brilliance Lip Gloss ($32) in Orange Juiced actually does deliver a sheer orange tint. If, for some reason, those aren't actually glittery enough, take the Violent Lips plunge. Their Temporary Lip Tattoos ($7) come in almost every color imaginable (even ombre!) and should stay on all night. There are three per pack, just in case.
Before you jump on the glitter nail polish bandwagon, make sure you're armed with a bottle of acetone polish to soak it all off. Then feel free to splurge on Deborah Lippmann's Nail Lacquer ($18) in Let's Go Crazy or Butter London's Nail Polish ($14) in Fiddlesticks. Want chunkier glitter? Topshop's Nails ($10) in Beleza has silver flecks in blue polish while China Glaze's Nail Polish ($5) in Techno is as holographic as it sounds.
One last word of advice? Sequins plus glitter equals a train wreck, so if you're going for a sparkly beauty look, skip the spangled clothes.
