may i please change my name to "LEVENDIZ" thanks!
please dont change my name i dont want to anymore
It's ok, it wouldn't have happened through the forums anyway. For future reference, an email to [email protected] might do the trick if you're a subscriber.
I wanna change my name to "LEVENDIZ" please... Thanks!
Seriously though, they will change your name if you are premium or pro.
They _might_ (although probably not) change your name if you're standard if you e-mail [email protected] and ask really nicely.
Otherwise why not just start a new account with that name, it's available.
Also, you're making too many threads about this. Either stay in the same thread, or MUCH better, just e-mail support about it. Names changes aren't done on the forum.
... I give up.

Buzz: Mets may have made an offer to Lackey
Update, 4:15 pm
by Michael Baron:
David Lennon of Newsday says the Mets have not made an offer to Lackey as they are focusing on Jason Bay at this point.
However, Lennon says if the Mets lose out on Bay, they will quickly turn their attention to Lackey.
Original Post
by Matthew Cerrone:
According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, "There are signs they may have made a significant offer to free-agent LHP John Lackey."
…if they did, there is no way the Mets offered more than what the Yankees gave to A.J. Burnett last winter… so, figure, five years and around $15 million per season…

Kate Griewisch of Banner Elk (and Avery High School), and currently a junior at Lenior Rhyne University (a Division II school in Hickory, NC), has qualified for the Division II National Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Griewisch earned her trip to New Mexico by winning the 5,000-meter run at the Tyson Indoor Invitational Friday night at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. She finished the race in 16:45, besting the field by six seconds. Terry Phillips of Missouri State finished second in 16:51.
Griewisch is a two-time All-America in women's cross country (2009 and 2010), and she qualified for the outdoor track and field championships in the 10,000-meter run last spring. She is also a two-time Southeast Regional Champion. She has won the NCAA Division II Cross Country Southeast Regional race the last two years (2009-10). She has also won the South Atlantic Conference Championship.
She is a three-time First-Team All-SAC honoree (2008-10), and she has been named a two-time South Atlantic Conference Women's Cross Country Scholar-Athlete Of The Year (2009 and 2010).. The national championships in Albuquerque will be held March 11-12.

I thought the Eva would win due to MAGICAL PLOT FORCE FIELD, but realized two issues-
6. Shinji...has issues, to put it nicely, and as far as I know is incapable of killing other human beings as demonstrated by the Unit-03 accident. His dad would need to be a dick and activate the dummy plug to stand a chance.
7. Five minutes of invincibility, followed by a painful stomp from the Jaeger. Unless we're assuming this is after it absorbed an angel core, in which case this is no longer an issue.
Space shuttle could probably take out at least one of these mecha if it went for a suicide kamikaze run. Alternatively, it could hide in space and let everyone else battle it out.
T-Rex vs AMP suit is a fight I want to see, like if the Avatar soldiers were fighting in Jurassic Park instead of Pandora.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Whether racing, performing Park and Pipe tricks, embarking on backcountry adventures or facing the varied challenges of the slopes: ATOMIC's ski boots are designed to meet the needs of every type of skier.
ATOMIC's RaceTech range includes three uncompromising race boots whose World Cup chassis boasts an ultra-stiff flex and superb support. Power is transferred directly to the slope, while the asymmetrical liner provides a feeling of total control and also absorbs vibrations – enabling the racer to focus one hundred percent on victory.
The top-of-the-range all-mountain model automatically adapts to the shape of any foot as soon as the skier pulls on the boot. Two elastic Live Fit zones enclose the forefoot and, with a variable last width from 102 to 106 mm, automatically ensure a perfect fit through every stage of a turn. The natural position of the foot is maintained, ensuring perfect balance and effortless ski control.
The Tracker's Enduro chassis raises the stand height by 5 mm, thereby maximizing leverage even on broad powder skis. When open the Power Control Release provides full freedom of movement on the ascent, while closed it ensures an ultra-compact fit. And the Ridge Walker sole delivers superb grip on both rock and snowmobile skids.
The Hawx is a true piste performer and provides the foot with firm support without compromising its movement. This is thanks to its i-Flex zones at forefoot height which flex outward slightly under pressure to significantly improve balance as well as blood flow: the skier is able to control the ski with even greater precision and save energy.
The Burner is a compact all-mountain boot and is designed for high-octane adventure: a 98 mm last width ensures precise traction, while the Enduro chassis raises the stand height by 5 mm to maximize leverage even on the broadest of powder skis.

In pieces such as Lorca, the letters are raised in relief against the picture plane, while in others, words are layered manically atop one another to the point of illegibility. Most relate tragicomic or bittersweet personal narratives with droll humor. With their fetishization of alphanumeric characters, these pieces share a lineage with military stencils (think M*A*S*H) and ransom notes. If you're not interested in the text's content, chances are you'll be taken in by the handling of materials, and vice versa. Nielsen is a relatively new arrival on the Portland art scene, but he has a cool bag of tricks. It will be interesting to see how he evolves this conceit in future shows. Through April 2.

Submission Irish High Court for Copyright in Lyrical Ruling->

Hardly ever was a High Court ruling such entertaining reading material. El Reg also runs the story"

Years at NSU: 10
Job description: I teach Computer Information Systems courses, including Mobile Applications, Database Systems, and Microsoft Applications. I advise CIS majors and assist in keeping up with the NSULA-Computer Information Systems Facebook page.
Why I like Working at Northwestern: I loved attending NSU for my undergraduate degree. It was a very rewarding experience and being on the other side of that now is just as rewarding. We are a family here and the support system is truly unique. I love the everyday challenges that arise when teaching computer related courses and the look on a student's face when they finally "get it." There is nothing quite like it.

New Single My Plague Released
Posted on February 12, 2008MY PLAGUE The single My Plague (New Abuse Mix) is out now. The tracklisting is:
My Plague (New Abuse Mix)
The Heretic Anthem (live)
(sic) (live)
My Plague (New Abuse Mix) (uncensored video)
Did you know? The 2 live tracks were recorded on January 22, 2002 at Hovet in Stockholm, Sweden - and the mixing of these live tracks was done by Joey Jordison, with Matt Sepanic.
Earlier today, a CD containing three audio mixes was delivered straight from London to New York...those three audio mixes being "Liberate", "People=Shit", and "Left Behind/Eeyore", as recorded live from Slipknot's show at the London Arena in early February - the show which will be the basis for the band's upcoming dvd. Cranking from Dave's desk at 7:45pm are these three songs. Dave tells, "You gotta admit, fuckin' first rate." "It's just unbelievable, I'm fuckin' pumped right now. Colin Richardson totally schooled it," he continues. This leads one to question, "Any overdubs on this live recording?" "No FUCKIN' overdubs, dude," Dave snaps back. "100% band with chops that can play. They don't need overdubs, they nailed every song." Yes, Dave was present for the London show in which this was recorded. "Get ready, this is gonna raise the bar for all future live recordings." This is The Production Gospel According to Dave...Phase II is upon us...you have been warned...resistance is futile...Amen. Slipknot dvd coming this autumn.
How Very Metal... as part of our Download 2002 campaign we held a prize draw with HMV - the winner would get a personalised Slipknot Iowa gold disc... well, our winner is Joanna Tucker... and today we were sending out Joanna's prize to her. To our great \m/ amusement, the Slipknot gold disc weighs exactly 1.666 kilograms... how very metal. Conspiracy? Perhaps.
Make sure you check out 2 new awesome Slipknot wallpapers for Corey and Mick now added to our In The Pit page - thanks going out to the lovely Michaela Livingstone for making them and sending them in!
This past Friday (May 3rd), someone sent in an article from the London publication Reuters. The article was in reference to some confusion about another Slipknot group. Sunday (5th), The Fax (Westwood One) wrote about it, too. Yesterday (6th), in an article titled People = Knit: Slipknot Fans Attack Needle-Wielding Ladies, even MTV.com wrote about it... So, what is 'it' that we speak of? Let us ask you a question: how many Slipknots out there do you know of? Well, for starters, we have the Slipknot we all know...you know who we're talking about. But, apparently there is another Slipknot group out there. Based here in Britain. An all female group. Over 1,000 members strong. Please welcome the other Slipknot, The Knitting & Crochet Guild Slipknot. The members of this knitter's quarterly journal are not to be confused with the 9 guys that brought us "People=Shit". Some Roadrunner Slipknot fans, searching for info on the web, apparently stumbled across the knitter's info, sending some not to pleasant message to this British group. Secretary Anne Budworth tells "I don't know how anyone could confuse us with them. I haven't ever seen the band knitting." Agreed, and True. "E-mails have been pretty unpleasant, telling us that we shouldn't be on the Internet with the word 'Slipknot," chair of The Knitting & Crochet Guild Rita Taylor tells. "But we are not going to let it bother us," she added. That's right, chin up, ladies. The goal of this Slipknot group is "preserving and nurturing the skills of knitting and crochet." So, how do you like that? You learn something new every day. Ladies, we wish you the best. Maggots and fans of the 'other' Slipknot, all our best goes out to you, too...and we ask you please wish the same to the lovely ladies of the Slipknot knitting & crochet guild.

I am Dale and work at a state EPA (Ohio) doing water quality analysis. My work centers on TMDLs, models, and WQ standards. I completed a MS in env engr from Ohio State in Jun'09 (no BS in engr) in my mid-career. I completed BS/MS/PhD in physical geog from Penn State in the 80's - but always wanted to be an engineer!
Passed my FE in Apr'10 and plan to take the PE in Apr'11. Glad you have this forum - I appreciate the knowledge shared. I hope I can help the cause, too.

I do some of the same things you do, but in a much smaller place that allows me to do a lot more, but at the same time know it all in a lot less detail. I just recently finished writing our "state" 305b & 303d integrated water quality assessment report, and am scheduled to run our WQ standards through the triennial review process later this year. Ugh. On top of a dozen other unrelated things.

Thank you and waiting to hear from you.

BS Interdisciplinary Studies: Biology, Geography, Philosophy (from UMBC)
MS Environmental Engineering & Science (from Johns Hopkins)
6-7 years of environmental science experience. Started out in Land-development & permitting for storm-water management, mostly as a GIS analyst/intern. Later got into the asbestos/lead/indoor-air quality business, with some sub-surface site-characterization & construction inspection/management in there. Now I mainly do site characterization and remediation (aquifer air-sparge, soil-vapor extraction, in-situ bio-enhancement etc...).
Passed my FE in April 2011.
I work in Alexandria VA and live in MD. I hope to qualify to sit for the NCEES P&P exam next year (I'm taking it easy). MD is pretty strict for us non-ABET undergraduate degree holders. I really hate the experience part of the application because of all of my jumping around companies in the enviro/health&safety-business has made it complicated.
Fortunately, my experience makes a lot of the hazardous waste, Heath and Safety, and sampling questions that a lot of colleagues here have trouble with, intuitive for me. Although I love solving "fluids" problems, it never seems to apply to what I do. The calcs for remediation designs are so loosy goosy, you kinda size and round up to the closest available skiff mounted modules, like a S, M, L, & XL. And maybe you tweak the PLC and valves to push and suck air into the ground at a psi of 3-9. Would love to get deeper into this, but would also like to get into water/wastewater treatment as well.
Look forward to contributing.

I just submitted my application to NY for the April 2012 exam. Fingers crossed it's accepted, because I know a lot of coworkers who were denied on their first try.
Good luck to everyone taking the exam on Friday. Oh, and if any of you pass and have reference materials you want to sell, let me know!

I like the UV and NC videos and course notes so much, I am going to sell the videos but I will make a copy of the course notes for future reference as I found them very useful. Though expensive new, I was able to purchase them both used for a slightly reduce cost and I'm glad because they compliment each other well. Passing the first time is worth a little extra cost for me...
Best of Luck!

I've been putting off writing my application for a long time, but this week I finally forced myself to sit down and get it done. In fact, I literally just finished stuffing it into envelopes and it will go in the mail tomorrow. What a relief!
Anyway, I've poked around here a tiny bit, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the great info. I'm not sure If I'll take the exam in October or next April, but I'm going to start reading more and getting my references ready.
Thanks again!

I have a B.S. in Environmental Engineer (MTU) and am working on a M.S. (WSU). I have been out of school for 4 years. I work as a consultant and luckily, get to work on a wide range of environmental projects including remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, hazardous waste management and RCRA inspections, geotechnical drilling and design, building assessments for asbestos, lead, mold, and PCBs, construction contractor health and safety oversight, computer programming and data management, and a little air emissions permitting and tracking.

Shooting for taking the Environmental PE in the Fall of 2013. Currently overseas with DOD and look to test in Korea. Will probably register with Oregon as others here have done the same and it has worked out as a Special Accomodations testing site. Not sure what other States I could also register with instead of OR if another State is "better" to get a PE within. No set Home State so no preference. Been out of school for more than 20 years (BS ME and ME EnvE), passed the EIT way back then. Have not taken the PE yet, many reason why not....need to check that block now though. Been searching the EB and it loks to be very informative. Scratching my head if I should go through an online course or not; like the ability to have help focus since its been so long from school. Been working the Env field for almost 20 years in many areas so have a good foundation. Any guidance is much appreciated. Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year, Hopefulyl this wil be Year of the PE!

Hi, new member here. Just introducing myself... I've been out of school for around 10 years now (degree in Civil Engineering, with lots of extra Environmental Engineering courses). I passed the FE exam right after college. Since then, I've worked as a consulting environmental engineer (mostly in air), as well as (more recently) at a small-ish construction/contracting company handling construction management and basically any environmental issues we encounter.
I recently decided to take the Fall 2013 Environmental PE exam. In reviewing some materials (Lindenberg's reference manual and sample questions; NCEES sample questions book), I'm a little nervous about the exam - mostly due to the wide variety of material covered. I have a lot to brush up on over the next few months! I signed up to take the School of PE online prep class which starts in September. I'm currently looking into what I can/should do to prepare prior to the School of PE prep class.

Posted 10 July 2013 - 10:43 PM
Welcome and good luck! You should have an excellent background with your education and experience. You probably don't need a prep course, but it can't hurt. Good luck!
Posted 30 July 2013 - 09:54 PM
Greetings everyone! Awesome site you have!
My environmental PE exam application was just approved by the state board so now it's crunch time! I have a chemical engineering degree but have spent the past 8 years doing mainly mechanical design and systems integration for OEMs specializing in manufacturing water treatment equipment.
I appreciate any advice that you all have to offer to help me pass this beast on the first try and hope to assist other future engineers in the same endeavor.
Best regards,
Posted 30 July 2013 - 10:23 PM
Read the pinned topics for advice from successful exam-takers of the past ~7 years. You can do it! I did it on the first try, and my original degree was in Mechanical Engineering. You are a little closer with your Chemical Engineering degree. You don't have all that much time, so get started right away.
I did it by working through the combination of PPI Env. Eng. Reference manual and the associated practice problems book. Skip all the math and thermo stuff and get right into the meat of the exam. To make the most of your time, set a schedule. I would recommend splitting the topics into water, air, solid and haz waste, and radiation/health and safety stuff. Of those, the water topics will likely take the most time to work through - you've got to work through hydraulics, drinking water treatment, aqueous chemistry, wastewater treatment, groundwater, and water resources. Maybe give yourself 4 weeks there. The other topics can go faster. Air is pretty fast and well covered by the PPI resources - I think I only spent a week on it (with prior work experience, though). Solid and Haz. waste require other resources, but can be worked through in a couple of weeks. The oddball stuff like radiation, noise, occupational safety & health, can be worked through fairly quickly as well, with the PPI stuff and a few of the recommended references (NIOSH chem. guide, emergency response guidebook, etc.).
Also get the NCEES practice exam and work through the relevant sections as you go, to make sure you have a good feel for what will be required on the actual exam. The practice exams offered by PPI are not bad, either, and the "101 questions" book was also valuable for me. Be sure to schedule a timed practice exam out of one of those toward the end of your study effort - it really helps.
It's a lot of material to cover in the amount of time you have, but it can be done as long as you are well organized and use your time wisely.

@ EX--all of what Dleg said, plus don't forget to come to this forum and post specific questions if you get stumped. There is a very diverse group of folks who regularly check in, and at least one of them will most likely be able to help you solve tricky questions!
Posted 31 July 2013 - 01:25 PM
Thanks Dleg! I've spent the past month reading through the Lindeberg text with the NCEES exam specification as a guide. My focus for the next 2-3 months is going to be doing problems and organizing my references. The last couple weeks will be spent simulating the actual test with practice exams.

Looks like you've got it covered!
Good luck! Keep us informed how you do, and of course, ask any questions along the way. It's been several years now since I passed the exam, but I'm currently re-living it all through a masters program, so maybe I can actually be helpful in here again!
Posted 01 August 2013 - 09:23 PM
I'm barely getting started and I'm quite overwhelmed looking at the air topics!! I have a Masters in Environmental Engg but my courses were all focused on Water/Wastewater and my work experience in remediation. Never really taken courses in air. What should by main focus be in air? Are psychrometry problems, cooling tower problems etc important?? What should I start with? I would greatly appreciate any pointers/advice.
ALso, do the school of P.E review courses cover the air topics in depth?
Posted 09 August 2013 - 03:15 PM
Air has two sets of topics, the basic principles and controls. You should spend some time reading about regulations, emissions sources, atmospheric science, that sort of thing. There are 30 air questions. These topics are maybe a third of them and many are likely to be qualitative, so if you have a general understanding of those topics and know where to find them in your references, that will really help. Look into Gaussian plumes too - I didn't actually have any questions on them but I heard they're common.
Controls were very difficult for me. I don't get into air at work at all (I do remediation, stormwater, haz waste, site assessments) so I relied on a local review class and the EnvERM and they were insufficient. I passed the exam so I didn't get to see my diagnostic, but I know this was my worst section. The way the EnvERM covers control devices isn't great. I had a device question that didn't work with the provided equation in the EnvERM but luckily it had come up in my review class so I had the correct equation to use. I don't recall seeing anyone with a good recommendation for a reference on controls...it's a tough topic if you don't work in that area. I'd just review whatever materials you can find.
I did have a psychrometry problem but it wasn't a big focus my studying or on the exam. I guessed on that problem.
Posted 09 August 2013 - 05:46 PM
This book: lntroduction to Environmental Engineering by Davis and Cornwell has a good chapter on air, plus the sample exam problems.
Posted 10 August 2013 - 03:42 PM
Air Quality by Godish and Handbook of Air Pollution Control Engineering by Mycock (yeah, seriously) et al. were the ones I used.
The control problems are simple, and I'm not an air guy. You just plug in the variables into the highly empirical equations listed in the EnvRM and you are mostly set.
As for the principles, expect one of those awful downstream dispersion from a stack with that unwieldy equation and charts.
Posted 12 August 2013 - 01:29 PM
Thanks folks! Just got done with the "AIR controls" chapter in EERM and you're right.. EERM's coverage is way too broad.. Cooper and Alley goes into more depth.. I'm also working out some of the sample problems from Copoer and Alley.. we'll see how it goes! THanks once again for all the advice/suggestions!
Posted 07 January 2014 - 10:17 PM
I am taking Env PE exam in April. Wanted to buy LaGrega and Environmental Law handbook...
Please let me know if anyone have the books and wanted to sell it.
Posted 27 January 2014 - 04:37 PM
Hey, hi!
I'm planning on taking the PE in April...for the third time =/ But! First for Environmental. I took the Civil and Enviro with Water Resources emphasis the last two exam times and decided since 3 of my coworkers passed the Enviro exam on the first try maybe I should, too...and that closed conduit flow and Transportation were kicking my butt no matter how much I studied that!
Hopefully studying open channel flow, wastewater treatment, water treatment, etc. for the last year practically will help! That, and knowing what doesn't work for my study habits with a husband who's work travel has been ramped up, and two small children (though they get more independent by each exam date!).
Anyway, enough rambling/ranting =) Hopefully I'll find a lot of help here! I've got the EERM from my coworker who passed in October, but nothing else, so on to new referencs and looking through the posts/threads here to see what references are very benefical (I've already ordered the NIOSH pocket guide thanks to this forum, and have the ERG on hand, so woo!).
Oh! I guess maybe a bit of background...double majored in Agriculture and Civil Engineering (BSs), and work for the state in wastewater, storm water, and air quality...permitting and inspecting. Though I'm not very confident in air quality stuff..however, I guess taking the Environmental exam should have been obvious, but I got all the Civil PE exam study material from a friend...who's emphasis in school was transportation and only worked in structures since graduation...she passed first time with the transportation exam and figured it would be easier to "remember/study" stuff I learned in college rather than learn new things like hazardous waste and air quality for the most part...obviously that hasn't worked yet so fingers crossed I'll study well enough to pass the Environmental Exam...
...I'm a bit nervous to "jump ship" and start studying something "new", but I figure what's the worst that can happen...I fail? Again?
Thanks anyone for reading this far...I get kind of long winded at times! I hope to find a lot of help on study materials, since I maybe have some relevant wastewater books at most. So far, I wish I would have looked for a site like this a year ago since I've found lots of helpful info already!
Posted 27 January 2014 - 10:37 PM
Good luck!
My advice is to really commit yourself. Purchasing your own EERM and textbooks is a potential start - there's something about investing in the effort with your hard-earned money, that makes you feel more committed. Plus, the references come in handy for your real job, years and decades down the road. Trust me, I was a regulator too, and in that job, especially, you have the opportunity to branch out and get real experience in all of the fields of enviro engineering.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for quite awhile but finally joined! This is my first time applying to take the Environmental PE. I'm located in PA, and I've had my EIT since 2008. I studied Chem E in undegrad and have a Master's in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. I don't know anyone who is pursuing Environmental so this site has been a godsend for me! I'm looking to get all my materials compiled (so much to purchase!) and finishing up my Amplified Record so I can have everything turned in early to the State Board!
I'll probably be asking LOTS of questions in the months ahead. Thanks in advance for your help and support!

Lipscomb on the Air
Online Radio: Lipscomb Sports Network, www.LipscombSports.com (Benjamin Seamon, play-by-play)
Online Video: ASun.TV (North Florida audio feed)
The Game
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons (4-13, 2-5 A-Sun) look to end their 13 game road losing streak as they face North Florida (4-12, 1-6 A-Sun) Saturday afternoon. The game is set to tip at 3:30 p.m. CT in UNF Arena.
Lipscomb hit a cool 30.6 percent of its shots and turned the ball over 26 times Thursday evening in a 66-48 loss to Jacksonville. Hannah Phillips provided the only offensive spark scoring 13. Kaitie Fritts had career highs with six points and a team-leading five rebounds.
North Florida lost 55-51 at home Thursday to Belmont. Brittany Kirkland had 19 points and Arlande Cherizol tallied 11 points. Juliemay Syquio grabbed 10 rebounds. Belmont scored 14 points off UNF's 18 turnovers. UNF did not score off Belmont's nine turnovers.
UNF has won six of the seven meetings between the teams. Lipscomb's only win came on Feb. 28 last year in Allen Arena as the Lady Bisons won 56-54 behind 18 points and 11 rebounds by Jilian Partin. Cree Nix had 15 rebounds and Jenna Bartsokas had 16 points. Lipscomb lost 52-51 at North Florida last year on a buzzer-beater by UNF's Jennifer Bowen.
Quick Hits
Last Time Out
A poor first half shooting performance by the Lipscomb Lady Bisons compounded by a strong transition offense by Jacksonville allowed Jacksonville to take a 12-point halftime lead on their way to a 66-48 victory Thursday evening.
Lipscomb connected on just five of their 23 first half field goal attempts. Lipscomb shot 30.6 percent on the evening.
Freshman wing Hannah Philips provided the only offensive spark for the Lady Bisons finishing with 13 points on five-of-ten shooting. She also had four rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 26 minutes of action.
Freshman post Kaitie Fritts delivered her strongest performance as a Lady Bison with career-highs of six points and five rebounds.
Lipscomb committed 26 turnovers which Jacksonville turned into 29 points. Jacksonville had 16 fastbreak points. While the Dolphins turned the ball over 23 times, Lipscomb was only able to capitalize 14 points off them. Lipscomb had just four fastbreak points.
Jacksonville went on a 7-0 run to take a 30-18 lead into the half as Lipscomb committed three turnovers and missed two field goals.
With the Lady Bisons down 16 in the second half, Phillips drained a trey, Jenna Bartsokas had a steal which she converted into a fastbreak layup, and Kaitie Fritts hit two free thows to bring the game back to single digits, 36-27, with 15:48 left.
Jacksonville worked its lead back into the low double digits before Taneskei Richardson and Courtney Jackson hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to give the Dolphins a 57-37 lead with 8:49 remaining.

|Avery Commission; More Incubator Controversy
|Written by Annie Rutenberg
|Wednesday, 03 April 2013 06:03
It was a bumpy night for the Avery County Board of Commissioners, meeting Monday night—the issue—still—the economic development project known as AC PRIDE, a business incubator at the Old Banner Elk Elementary. Architect David Patrick Moses responded by letter to Bret Gardella, stating,
"We had previously sent to you a proposal indicating that we would do this work on a time basis and gave a range of what we thought that fee would be." He went on, saying, "To demonstrate our belief in the growth of Avery County and to help expedite the project and the Town of Banner Elk submittal process, we would be willing to donate our time through the requirements for the conditional use permit as per the following summery." The letter went on to summarize what items would be covered in the comprehensive site plan, detailing the County's responsibilities in the process, Moses' letter concluding, "The information … is provided as part of the conditional use permit application only. We are not providing any additional warranties for any existing conditions of the building or additional requirements for plumbing, mechanical, electrical, or building code requirements for the project, nor does it include time for any meetings with the Planning Boards or Town Council. These items would all be considered as a separate item."
Commissioner Reo Griffith addressed the expenditure of Economic Development funds and funds spent on the old Banner Elk School, saying "We do not know what it will cost the people of Avery County." He went on to say it has been 565 days since Incubator project was proposed and, "We are still waiting for inspectors, we still don't know what it will require to bring it up to code, there are no signed leases, we are waiting for an explanation of application process, criteria for businesses, how many jobs will be created, admission guidelines, projected cost revenue and when will it become self sufficient." Griffith also questioned the status of grant money assistance, stating that, "No one can explain the public benefit to Avery County." Questions arose over the authenticity of the Architect donating their time, with accusations made that there were under the table dealings which Mr. Gardella vehemently denied and asked that he and the Commissioners not be besmirched." Then David Patrick Moses stood, saying it was ludicrous to insinuate underhanded dealings, and when asked if he ever did work for free in the past he said, "yes." A shouting match erupted until chairman Poteat stepped in, threatening that the meeting will be closed. Griffith then made a motion to stop the incubator and all funding. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hicks, but failed in a 2-3 vote with Glenn Johnson, Kenny Poteat and Phyllis Forbes in favor of continuing support and funding of the incubator.
Also discussed was a proposed agreement with North Carolina Wireless, LLC regarding leasing property at Hawshaw Fire Tower to obtain reliable broadband internet access to serve the citizens of Avery County. The resolution was approved contingent upon the property owners doing more research regarding an easement on the property.

Research Description
The Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory at the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease, under the direction of Michael Schwarzschild, MD PhD, investigates molecular mechanisms in mouse models of Parkinson's disease in an effort to develop improved therapies for Parkinson's and related neurodegenerative diseases. We focus on a natural class of compounds known as purines, in particular the role of three purines — adenosine, caffeine and urate — and how targeting them may prevent or slow the brain cell degeneration of Parkinson's.
The lab is pursuing major epidemiological and clinical clues to the disease through fruitful inter-disciplinary collaborations with the research group of Professor Alberto Ascherio at the Harvard School of Public Health and with the Parkinson Study Group of North America. Caffeine and urate are linked to a lower risk of Parkinson's and/or to a slower rate of disease progression in humans.
The lab explores how caffeine (and other blockers of the adenosine A2A receptor) and urate may be protecting brain cells in Parkinson's. We employ complementary pharmacological and genetic (e.g., gene knockout) tools to dissect the role of adenosine and urate pathways in the brains of parkinsonian mice. We are also studying the role of adenosine receptors in the disabling motor complications (abnormal involuntary movements known as dyiskinesia) that are sometimes triggered by standard anti-parkinsonian therapy.
Through our well-established translational research network and track record, we expedite transfer of our molecular insights from the laboratory back to the clinic in order to maximize their impact on the lives of Parkinson's disease patients.

|Searchers Scour Parkway for Missing Man
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 21 October 2012 06:11
Searchers from Ashe, Alleghany, and Wilkes spent Saturday afternoon and into the night searching for a man whose vehicle was found at a Blue Ridge Parkway overlook. The call went out for searchers mid afternoon after the truck was found at the Sheets Gap Overlook near mile marker 253,
Parkway Police calling for help in seeking the man, missing from Randolph County. There were indications that the 48-year old might have gone to the remote location to do harm to himself, and a grid search was launched to cover the steep terrain. After darkness fell, the search was called off, set to resume today.

SACKETS HARBOR Tensions were high Wednesday night as the village Planning Board opened discussion about demolishing the former mess hall and theater building at Madison Barracks.
The two buildings, based at 117 and 123 Pike Road, have been abandoned for more than 60 years. Though developer Michael A. Lawler has contended the property is economically obsolete and requires millions of dollars in repairs he cannot afford, opponents of the demolition said that the buildings are important pieces of the villages history, and more time is needed to determine their future.
More than 45 village and town of Hounsfield-area residents filled the village office to speak their mind on the project, with board Chairman Gary M. Gibson calling it the largest crowd he had seen attend one of the boards meetings.
The two buildings are among a small number in the barracks area that have not been redeveloped or torn down. The military developed the buildings in the late 1800s and abandoned them toward the end of World War II.
With the buildings in the villages historic overlay, the demolition cannot be considered unless the building is either incompatible to the rest of the district, a safety hazard, deteriorated past economic viability or incapable of earning an economic return of its value.
Mr. Lawler, claiming the buildings already met the latter three of the four criteria, tore into critics of the plan, questioning their construction knowledge and business savvy, and threatened legal action against the board if the application was held up.
If you guys want to make up your minds, fine, but Im going to tell you Im going to pursue it too, he said. I hope your bank account is in good shape, because those three things I can prove, and I only have to prove one of them.
Though Mr. Lawler, who has owned the buildings since January 2011, said he did not want to tear them down, he said he did not have the funds to repair the structures alone.
He said an estimate he received from Karl O. Bender of AOK Engineering, Gouverneur, pegged the cost of repairing the mess hall at $8 million to $10 million, and the theater at $2 million to $2.5 million. Mr. Lawler said he and Peter B. Bryant, village and town of Hounsfield economic development coordinator, had no success attracting new business interest in the buildings.
That things been abandoned since 1947 for Christs sakes and it sat there, and all of a sudden you do-gooders are going to save it? Mr. Lawler said.
Asked by resident Kevin W. Murphy about how much he spent for the two buildings, Mr. Lawler replied none of your damn business.
Many village residents during a public comment session later in the meeting were strongly against the demolition, clapping for each other as they finished their remarks.
David W. Altieri, village heritage area director, said the decision before the board was one of the most important it had ever made, calling it an all or nothing proposition.
The question is not if we can do it, but can we afford not to preserve it? he said.
Harold R. Cring, a resident since 1949, suggested that the village hire a third party to get a better idea of the buildings future use.
Once these buildings are gone, theyre gone, he said.
Susan L. Walling said destroying the buildings would be a slap in the face to the military that served in the barracks area.
Village Mayor F. Eric Constance, who pointed out the limited amount of time Mr. Lawler has owned the buildings, said that more time was needed to fully investigate their redevelopment possibilities and explore possible state grant funding.
I think we need a little more time to do that, he said. He added that he did not think the theater building was in as bad a shape as the mess hall.
The board adjourned a public comment period about the demolition until its July 15 meeting, when it will also continue its review of Mr. Lawlers application. Board members also approved an offer by the Sackets Harbor Historical Society to commission and pay for an engineers structural report of the buildings, with Michael W. Campbell, the developers representative, expressing support for allowing the engineer access to the buildings. The village also passed a motion requesting Mr. Lawler suspend his application for 24 months. A response to that request was not available Wednesday night.
The board spent 15 minutes at the start of the meeting debating a letter sent by Mr. Altieri asking whether emails sent by Mr. Gibson appearing to be open to the demolition created a bias requiring him to recuse himself from the decision. Mr. Gibson said he had not made up his mind about the application, and the board continued its review with no further action.

The Maine House has given residents of the Unorganized Territories who live in an area designated for so-called "expedited wind permitting" some hope that they might be able to opt out. It's a right many say was taken away from them five years ago when the Legislature approved the expedited wind permitting area without any public input. Ever since then, residents of five communities have been trying to have their say in the process. And as Susan Sharon reports, they have even gotten the sympathy of lawmakers who say they now regret the 2008 vote.
It may have the word "wind" in its title, but a bill to amend the expedited permitting area for wind energy development in the Unorganized Territories is not about wind power says Republican Rep. Larry Dunphy, of Emden. It's about rights.
"This is about peoples' rights, peoples' rights that were removed by this body in 2008, people who have no way to get out of these expedited areas," Dunphy said. "There's a method to get them in. There's a method to utilize the mountaintops, but there is absolutely no way to be removed from these expedited areas."
During a sometimes emotional debate on the floor Monday night, Dunphy said the right to have a say in how or if wind power is sited in their communities was taken away with a minimum amount of debate in the House and Senate, and with no input from the communities affected. He calls that a "horrible violation" that should be corrected.
Most members of the Legislature's Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee agree. Among the minority holdouts, however, is Democratic Rep., and co-chair of the committee, Barry Hobbins of Saco. "This is just a fancy way of repackaging what is really a moratorium on the wind industry for certain areas of the state," Hobbins said.
And Hobbins says creating a process to allow certain communities to opt out of the expedited wind permitting would send a damaging business signal to investors about whether Maine is truly open for business.
That's because the bill could stall wind development if a single petitioner gets a majority of voters to sign a petition in 60 days. He points out that the wind industry has invested more than a billion dollars in Maine over the past decade, and has created and retained an average of 240 jobs each year.
Hobbins says the communities of Lexington, Concord and Carrying Place Townships, and Highland and Pleasant Ridge Plantations, should have the right to opt out if they choose. But Hobbins supports more onerous criteria for opting out than the majority members of his committee - including the requirement that "any petition for removal must demonstrate issues or concerns that cannot be addressed unless an area is removed."
"If you are so in favor of this legislation, brothers and sisters, put a 480-foot windmill in your backyard and see how long you last!" said Democratic Rep. Brian Jones, of Freedom. Jones says the residents who have those windmills in their communities should have the right to say whether they want them or not.
At least two lawmakers who supported legislation creating the expedited wind permitting area in 2008 say they now regret that action. And Democratic Reps. Terry Hayes of Buckfield and Sheryl Briggs of Mexico apologized for leaving residents of the five communities without a voice in the process.
Briggs says she has to look at wind towers every day of her life now. "I really feel that it's important that we slow this process down, and we let all the peoples' voices be heard, and give them the respect that is so deserved," she said.
A majority of the Maine House agreed. The bill has now been sent to the Senate, where it's fate is uncertain.
Editor's note: It's unclear how long the petition process might take. Some opponents of the bill suggest that could it be as long as 18 months.

Handling errors and exceptions
When exceptions occur, the BlackBerry® Administration API can throw standard SOAP exceptions. You can use try-catch blocks, or the equivalent in your chosen language, with all API methods to handle the SOAP exceptions. When errors occur in the BlackBerry Administration API, the errors are described in a return status object.
Single-object APIs use return objects that contain a return status object of the type <MethodName>ReturnStatus, where MethodName is the name of the API method your application has called. The return status object describes the error.
Multi-object APIs use return objects that contain an array of return status objects and a global return status object. The array of return status objects describes the errors that prevent individual objects from being processed. The global return status object describes the errors that prevent all objects from being processed. When using multi-object APIs, your application should examine both the array of return status objects and the global return status object.
For example, if your application attempts to move five user accounts to a different BlackBerry® Enterprise Server but the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is unavailable, the error is described in the global return status object and none of the user accounts are moved. If the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is available but two of the five user accounts do not exist, the BlackBerry Administration API moves the three existing user accounts and throws an exception that contains two nested return objects in the array that describe why the two user accounts were not moved.
