PAWTUCKET ŌĆö With ears still ringing from angry constituentsŌĆÖ phone calls, the City Council convened a meeting of its Snow Removal Committee on Tuesday night at City Hall.
Councilors Jean Philippe Barros, David Moran, Albert Vitali, Terry Mercer and Larry Tetreault attended. Most of the other key officials were there: Director of Administration/Public Safety Director Tony Pires, Public Works Director Lance Hill, Emergency Management Director Normand Menard, Highway Supervisor Norm Lamoureux, Police Chief Paul King and Fire Chief William Sisson.
So, too were a dozen or so of the city DPW workers who had manned the plows during the blizzard called Nemo and the days that followed. Several took the opportunity to defend the plowing job and express their views about what transpired.
The DPW workersŌĆÖ appearance at the meeting was a surprise to their boss, Hill, who took the time to praise them for their efforts. He said their presence showed the ŌĆ£dedication you have for the cityŌĆØ and noted that many in the room had spent ŌĆ£50, 60, even 70 hours straight on the clockŌĆØ during the storm and its aftermath.
ŌĆ£This is not a session to complain about the drivers,ŌĆØ Barros told the workers. ŌĆ£Our concern is about how this snow removal process happened and how do we correct it going forward.ŌĆØ
Director of Administration Tony Pires acknowledged that the councilors received hundreds of phone calls about the plowing and clean-up efforts. However, he called the blizzard ŌĆ£an extremely challenging storm, like ŌĆÖ78,ŌĆØ and said he didnŌĆÖt think it was a matter of either planning or performance that needed to be addressed. He said the men and women on the city plows did ŌĆ£phenomenal workŌĆØ and the storm just ŌĆ£beat us despite our best efforts.ŌĆØ
Pires did say that given the cityŌĆÖs older plow vehicles and lack of heavy duty equipment, he would be exploring some lease/purchase plans for the upcoming fiscal years.
See DPW, page A-2
Continued from page A-1
EMA Director Normand Menard outlined the procedures that were put in place in preparation for the storm, including having two senior shuttle buses ready and waiting to transport anyone without power to the stateŌĆÖs regional emergency center in Cumberland. However, he said it appears that no Pawtucket residents opted to go to the center.
When Councilor Albert Vitali asked why Pawtucket didnŌĆÖt set up its own emergency shelter at one of the schools, Menard explained that the state now supports regional emergency shelters, rather than one in each community. If Pawtucket officials wanted to open their own, they could, but the city would be responsible for paying for it.
Council President David Moran told Pires that he thought Mayor Donald Grebien should have provided the council with an overview of the storm preparations and plans following an EMA meeting that had been held on Thursday, prior to the storm. He said that he didnŌĆÖt speak to Grebien again until Saturday, and would have liked more updates, especially given the number of inquires from constituents. ŌĆ£Communication is the key. I wanted to know what the game plan was,ŌĆØ said Moran.
Pires said he couldnŌĆÖt speak for Grebien (who did not attend the meeting), but noted that by Friday, when the snow actually started falling, ŌĆ£everyone was in a different modeŌĆØ and just trying to deal with the storm.
Councilor Terry Mercer questioned if the city could have done more to be prepared, particularly given the lack of available heavy equipment. However, Hill responded that the city was ŌĆ£as prepared as we could be.ŌĆØ He said DPW utilized every piece of city equipment it had, tried to line up private vendors, asked for help from other communities and the state, and got an extra delivery of road salt the day before the storm.
Hill said the storm was ŌĆ£historicŌĆØ and ŌĆ£a monsterŌĆØ with snow that fell hard and fast. He said it took its toll on many trucks, causing blown transmissions, two engine fires and other mechanical breakdowns.
Mercer and Moran both questioned Hill about a frequent complaint from callers: why some streets were cleaned repeatedly and down to the pavement while others in the same area remained untouched.
Hill said he followed the same color-coded route map that DPW has employed for several decades, which has 26 plow routes. He said the same prioritization is given: to cover all the main roads, all the hills and then branch out to the secondary roads. He added that the pattern was disrupted somewhat by National GridŌĆÖs need to reach certain streets where there were fallen wires and power outages.
One DPW worker who was sitting in the audience finally erupted and asked the councilors, ŌĆ£Were any of you out there during the storm? We got two feet of snow, thatŌĆÖs what happened!ŌĆØ He spoke of the blinding snow conditions which hampered visibility, streets blocked with electrical wires, and other safety hazards, and said he wouldnŌĆÖt have changed one thing except for calling the drivers in off the road even earlier.
Another DPW worker complained that many residents had ignored the parking ban and left cars parked along both sides of some streets, making the space too narrow for plows to go down. He said the plow drivers had no choice but to abandon these streets and to try to return later.
Vitali, who said he was out in the storm doing some plowing himself, agreed that the visibility and conditions were bad. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs no oneŌĆÖs fault. But I got 300 calls from people,ŌĆØ he said.
Councilors also asked why the snow had been piled up so high in places and left on peopleŌĆÖs lawns. A DPW worker said the drivers use dump trucks to remove some of the snow but then lack places to dump it. They are no longer allowed to dump snow in the river and only have Slater Park, Veterans Park and the occasional empty lot they happen to find.
In wrapping up the meeting, Moran and Barros said they think the issue still circles back to a need for better communication between the administration, department heads and the council. ŌĆ£If a truck goes down and an area canŌĆÖt be touched, it would be good to know,ŌĆØ said Moran. ŌĆ£We could have been better answering to our constituents,ŌĆØ agreed Barros.

An evangelical pastor who had been scheduled to offer the benediction at Barack Obama's January 21 presidential inauguration has been abruptly pulled from the program, after homosexual activists discovered a sermon he preached in the 1990s that referred to the sinfulness of homosexual activity.
Louie Giglio, pastor of Atlanta's Passion City Church and founder of the popular Passion Movement youth conferences, had been tagged by the inauguration committee as a safe choice among evangelical leaders because Giglio has in recent years steered clear of making statements that condemn homosexuality. But "gay" activists discovered a sermon Giglio had delivered in the '90s, entitled "In Search of a Standard -– Christian Response to Homosexuality," in which, reported Baptist Press News, "Giglio details Scripture that identifies homosexuality as sinful, and … offers the hope of transformation the apostle Paul offered in 1 Corinthians 6:11."
One of the individuals who exposed Giglio's "anti-LGBT" bias and brought the issue to a head was Josh Israel of the pro-homosexual website ThinkProgress.com, who complained that Giglio's sermon included "rabidly anti LGBT views." Israel claimed that the nearly hour-long sermon, which offers hope for those struggling with same-sex attraction, "advocates for dangerous 'ex-gay' therapy for gay and lesbian people, references a biblical passage often interpreted to require gay people be executed, and impels Christians to 'firmly respond to the aggressive agenda' and prevent the 'homosexual lifestyle' from becoming accepted in society."
Israel was referring to the portion of Giglio's sermon in which he calls Christians to "lovingly but firmly respond to the aggressive agenda of not all, but of many in the homosexual community." Giglio accurately points out that underlying the issue of homosexual rights "is a very powerful and aggressive moment. That movement is not a benevolent movement. It is a movement to seize by any means necessary the feeling and the mood of the day, to the point where the homosexual lifestyle becomes accepted as a norm in our society and is given full standing as any other lifestyle, as it relates to family."
It didn't take long for Israel's dishonest rendering of Giglio's comments to raise alarm among the anti-evangelical homosexual community, and Giglio was quickly removed as a participant in the program. Graciously Giglio himself framed the change as a voluntary exit, saying in a statement that although "I was invited by the President of the United States to pray at his upcoming inauguration, after conversations between our team and the White House I am no longer serving in that role."

(WKYC) -- Where is Michelle Knight's son today? It's a question many have asked, but one with a confidential answer.
Each year in Cuyahoga County, there are more than 600 children taken from their homes, put into foster care and awaiting adoption.
Could Michelle's son have already gone through that process? He was likely 2 years old when Michelle disappeared, which could make him 13 today. Where is he now? Could Michelle be reunited with him?
Michelle Knight remembers the day her role as a mother possibly took an irreversible turn.
"My mother's boyfriend came home one day high and drunk and just decided to take out his frustrations on my son. How did he do it?
"He twisted my son's leg, and I heard it crack," said Knight.
Michelle's son entered into foster care.

Inevitable changes in how services are paid for in our current health care system require physicians to take the initiative to get involved, said Marc Roberts, Harvard University Professor of Political Economy and Health Policy, during this morning's keynote address on the second day of the ASTRO meeting. During an hour-long talk peppered with witty insights and humorous analogies, Dr. Roberts addressed the rather serious subject of "The Politics and Economics of American Health Care: Past and Future." Even in what has been an excellent economic situation in this country, he said, health care costs and demand have continued to rise-and this trend is only going to continue. As consumers continue to expect more and insurance companies and employers try to pay less, the system will be squeezed even more than it already has been. Physicians need to make sure that their interests are represented in the process of deciding what should come next, Roberts stressed.
Before going on to violate Yogi Berra's aphorism that one should "never make predictions, especially about the future", Dr. Roberts said that he first needed to talk about the recent past. He began by discussing the generally rosy economic situation, which he called a "Goldilocks economy": not too hot, not too cold, but just right. He gave credit to the Clinton Administration for a fiscally conservative economic policy that has resulted in a positive chain reaction. Tax increases have led to budget surpluses, which in turn have led to low interest rates, which led to high private investment, which increased productivity, which led to price stability.
"We have finally begun to have productivity increases in the service sector," Roberts noted, asking his audience members to reflect on all the convenient and efficient services that they take advantage of when they travel, from airline e-ticketing to on-the-spot check-in of rental cars to automatic teller machines.
Deregulation, another result of this economic policy, has increased competition. "We have knocked down barriers that prevent newcomers from entering business in this country," Roberts said. Furthermore, the increase in foreign trade, combined with greater productivity overseas, has also increased competition. At the same time, we have high rates of employment. "If you had told any economist just a few years ago that less than 4% unemployment would accompany less than 1% inflation, he would have said that it's impossible," noted Roberts.
Many experts have already pointed out that the large aging population of baby boomers will continue to increase demand for health care services. Roberts elicited a chuckle from the audience when he called the modern American middle-aged male a "literal layer cake of pharmaceuticals", asking them to think about all the medications, from Rogaine to Claritin to Viagra, that are available for just about every middle-aged bodily system. Aging is known to bring about more serious health problems, too, and we now have the means to keep the high users of health care services alive much longer. In a way, Roberts reflected, "our success has been our failure"-in other words, the success of our health care services creates more long-term demand for additional services, which in turns places more burdens on the system and drives costs up.
At the same time, more higher-end technology is becoming available, and physicians have an incentive to use it to help patients even if it is more expensive. In turn, people's expectations for their health care are higher, particularly as they age into their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. "No one is content to sit around on the porch anymore and wait around to die", Roberts emphasized. "Now everybody wants to go around the world! And that puts more demand on you."
As these forces have driven cost and demand, they also have led to certain very noticeable changes in the health care system. Dr. Roberts pointed to managed care as perhaps the best-known change. Many companies are shifting their employees to managed care plans, even against employees' will at times. Customers' dissatisfaction with the limits on choice has been well-documented. These limits are the result of managed care companies' desire to limit both the price of services and the quantity, in an effort to drive down overall costs. Yet another trend is the consolidation of insurance companies with providers, as both seek to "get market power." However, Roberts noted, many of the merging entities are finding that this process is "much more difficult than early enthusiasm would have indicated."
This election year's political agenda is also a telling reflection of these current trends. What is on the agenda? Drug coverage for seniors and the HMO Patients' Bill of Rights. And what is off? Any discussion of giving more money to physicians and health care providers. As the two candidates compete for the swing vote, stressed Roberts, they need to appeal to the key voting block of older Americans. He added that no Congressperson is ever likely to suggest that the health care providers deserve more money, especially as the large baby boom generation is beginning to retire.
He also sees a much greater role for information technology, particularly in the treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes. In the current climate, he noted, it would be extremely difficult to schedule a sufficient number of appointments with chronic disease patients to be absolutely sure that they are complying with their disease management plan. Interactive disease management software programs could make a significant difference.
In addition, there is a fundamental tension between businesses' resistance to absorbing ever-increasing health care costs and consumers' expectations that they can and should have it all. Everyone wants access to the best and most advanced services, but no one wants to bear the news that this cannot happen. "Americans are twelve-year-olds when it comes to health care," Roberts observed, drawing on his experience at the parent of an adolescent son. "They want it all without having to give anything up."
So what would be the features of a health care system that can best deal with these problems? Dr. Roberts outlined what he sees as the required characteristics of any working solution. He argued that coverage cannot be tied to employment, because this ignores the unemployed, part-time workers, and independent contractors in business for themselves. Furthermore, the system would have to be tied to taxation: "We can only get universal coverage through broad-based taxes, with the non-poor paying for the poor," he said. The existing players in the insurance industry will have to be left intact, mainly because they are politically powerful, and consumers will have to be given choices. At the same time, however, we have to be realistic and understand that we cannot cover everything.
Dr. Roberts suggested vouchers as a possible model for a workable system. Everyone would receive vouchers for health care services, and insurance companies would have to honor them, with payments they receive risk-adjusted for the patient's age and health status. Supplemental corporate and private insurance plans could then provide additional coverage for those who want it and can afford it. But the voucher system potentially could ensure that everyone receives at least a certain level of care. Roberts noted that a voucher system with corporate and private add-ons is currently used in Australia.
Whatever does happen -- and Roberts made clear his belief that change will come, out of necessity -- physicians and other health care providers have to stay involved. "The system is clearly overbuilt," he stressed, and providers need to help chart the coming changes. "Otherwise, Senator Kennedy's 27-year-old assistant, who only has maybe a master's degree in health policy, will write the new legislation," he suggested, using this hypothetical to make the point that the wrong people could very well determine what happens next. Instead, the people who know health care services best need to be involved in any changes.
Roberts urged his audience not only to get involved, but also to keep patients' interests in mind and avoid self-interest. "You have to find ways to make suggestions that respond to legitimate social concerns," he said. And perhaps most important, Roberts added, physicians must resist free market advocates. Those who argue that a free market is the best model for delivering health care are ignoring the fact that physicians' economic interests and patients' best medical interests are often diametrically opposed. When physicians have an economic incentive to see more patients and perform more procedures, he noted, it is the patient who loses.

At home and abroad, the scope of the drone war is expanding and liberty is contracting.
On February 22, President Barack Obama sent a letter to the speaker of the House and the president pro tempore of the Senate, informing them that he ordered U.S. armed forces sent to Niger, where they will "provide support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region."
Accompanying the nearly 300 U.S. troops to Niger were two Raptor drones and the crew to pilot them, according to an NBC News story.
NBC reports that Department of Defense officials verified the deployment of troops and drones, but assured NBC that the drones would be used "for surveillance only."
Despite the comments made by the unnamed Pentagon officials, drones are not new to Niger.
In February, The New American covered a New York Times report that the Pentagon plans to build a drone base in northwest Africa to enable it keep a closer eye on African organizations believed to be associated with the larger al-Qaeda network.
U.S. intelligence officials insist that the threat from regional al-Qaeda branches is growing and believe that more frequent surveillance can reduce the danger.
The move, the Times reported, is "an indication of the priority Africa has become in American antiterrorism efforts." The story notes that the current U.S. military presence is mostly confined to one permanent base in Djibouti.
Beyond the official base, the United States maintains a "constellation of small airstrips" in the area that are used to launch drones tasked with tracking the movements of suspected "militants."
Whether to track and kill alleged al-Qaeda or to provide air support for the French offensive in Mali, the United States is making good on the plan announced last October to expand the drone fleet in Africa and make it the next theater in the War on Terror. The CIA, of course, will correspondingly increase its presence in North Africa and continue its conversion from an intelligence-gathering agency to a paramilitary force.

WINDHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Police in Windham say they have identified the manwho impersonated a member of law enforcement to get money from another man.
Police say the suspect went to the victim's home last week pretending to be an undercover Cumberland County Sheriff's officer. He said he was there to arrest him on a civil violation but if the victim gave him money he wouldn't.
The victim then drove the man to his ATM machine at a bank in North Windham, withdrew money and gave it to the suspect.
"I personally haven't dealt with a case like this before, but I've heard of cases. Usually they'll show some form of fake id or badge, but none of that happened in this case", said Windham Police Detective Ray Williams.
Police say they got lucky because the camera inside the ATM machine snapped off a pretty clear picture of the fake cop.
Police say news reports helped lead to his identification. They hope to release more information later in the day including what charges he will be facing.

In late March, the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office received a call from the Caldwell County Education Center in reference to making a report of Embezzlement of school funds. Investigators with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office revealed that Emily Yvonne Hawkins of 2025 Walt Arney Rd. Lenoir

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
Just in time for Christmas, the county's road department got a present - a 54-ton, $360,000 jaw crusher that can pulverize concrete slabs into pebbles.
While the crusher is painted red, its true color is "green," meaning it's a massive recycler of what used to be junk concrete. Those cement chips make good road base, according to County Commissioner Bill Krompel. Given the fact that the county has about 550 miles of unpaved road to maintain - including the Nine Mile Canyon Road - the demand for the product is there, he noted.
The crusher is mobile, able to crawl forward on treads like a tank. If a paved road is being torn up, it can follow behind a demolition team, swallow and chew the big chunks of concrete they feed it, and leave behind a new layer of chips for base.
At a demonstration for county and civic officials Thursday, road workers put the machine through the paces at the county gravel pit near Dugout Canyon. A backhoe hoisted slabs of broken concrete one at a time into the hopper. Once inside, big jaws crushed the concrete, almost the way molar teeth crunch potato chips.
There is a powerful electromagnet inside the machine that attracts steel and removes rods of rebar from reinforced concrete. Every few seconds, a mangled rod would be spit out the side of the machine.
The crushed output was screened to regulate the size of the output. Bigger, fist-sized chunks rode on a conveyor assembly to one pile. The smaller, 1 1/4 inch bits were conveyed on another belt to their own pile.
Depending on the size and toughness of the feed material, the crusher can chew up and spit out anywhere from 200 to 400 tons per hour.
This is not a plug-and-play piece of hardware. The federal Mine Safety and Health
Administration requires 40 hours of training for anyone working with the machine, with 16 hours of refresher courses later. Visitors are required to attend a 15-minute training before being allowed on site, and have to stand well away from the crusher while it is running.
Hard hats are mandatory for all.
Helper City Councilman Gary Harwood, who attended the demonstration, said the machine would enable his town to get rid of the concrete slabs it has had pile up after road construction and repair.
The crusher will also ease some pressure on the county landfill. Concrete now joins tires, batteries and metal items on the list of things that will be recycled rather than buried.

Midwest Living Review
The Inn at Hermannhof is sophisticated and first class all the way. You can stay at the main inn in downtown Hermann or in a cluster of individual Haus Wineries on East Hill that overlook the Hermannhof Winery and have bird's-eye views of the town and Missouri River. The phenomenal main inn, which dates to the 1800s and has eight suites, is furnished throughout with antiques and exquisite handmade reproduction furniture. Accessories are mostly German folk art: painted chests, rural landscapes and nature motifs. No detail has been spared -- from 1800s-appropriate paint colors and custom trim to bedding and fabulously appointed bathrooms. Guest perks include complimentary bottles of wine and containers of cheese. Breakfast is served on the first level Festhalle and includes sausage made exclusively for the inn from a 100-year-old recipe. The location is great, too, just south of the river and within easy walking distance of the Hermannhoff Winery, shops, restaurants and even a grocery store. The Haus Winery buildings are all cottagelike structures that date from the 1840s to 1860s and were once homes for Hermann residents and farmers. Some of the buildings are on their original sites; others were moved here. Each individually named haus contains separate suites for two (about 20 altogether), all as thoughtfully appointed and comfortable as the suites at the inn. Two suites are available for families with children. One unusual amenity at the Haus Wineries is the Himmelstreppe, a lengthy staircase that runs down the side of East Hill and provides a shortcut to downtown Hermann. From $126. Peak summertime rates start at $168.

Softball Blanks Grambling State 10-0
CONWAY, Ark. - The Creighton softball team blanked Grambling State 10-0 in five innings to conclude the Central Arkansas Tournament Sunday morning.
Creighton (5-4) connected on 10 hits and took advantage of three Grambling State (2-8) errors. The Bluejays plated multiple runs in the second, third and fourth innings to secure the win. Freshman Kelsey Allender capped off the scoring with an inside the park homer down the right field line that scored CU's final two runs of the game.
Allender led the team with four RBI. She also posted two hits as did senior Amy Baker and junior Alexis Cantu. Cantu belted her first career triple just before Allender's first career round tripper.
Junior Becca Changstrom and the Creighton defense fell one out shy of a no-hitter against GSU. Changstrom totaled seven strikeouts in a complete game one-hitter following an infield single in the Lady Tigers' penultimate at-bat.
After a scoreless first inning, Creighton began the scoring in the bottom of the second. Sophomore Bri Lingl led off with a single up the middle. Freshman Erin McGonigal came on to pinch run at first before senior Ashley Frutos was hit by a pitch. The runners stole second and third before an RBI bunt single off the bat of freshman Katie Pascuzzi to score McGonigal and give CU a 1-0 lead.
Pascuzzi stole second before Homan reached on a two-out error by the GSU second baseman. Frutos scored on the play to put Creighton up by two. Homan later stole second base as Pascuzzi scored on the throw, giving Creighton a 3-0 lead after two.
Baker singled to begin the bottom of the third inning. Freshman Cassie Sharon then came into the game to run at first. Cantu doubled to right center to put runners in scoring position. A bunt single from Frutos scored Sharon to make it 4-0 CU.
Allender rifled a two-RBI single up the middle to clear the bases and move Creighton to a 6-0 lead. Pascuzzi followed with a walk and sophomore Liz Dike reached on a fielder's choice that forced Allender out at third. Next up Homan singled and all of the runners advanced on the throw to put the Bluejays up 7-0 after three.
In the bottom of the fourth, Baker again led off with a single up the middle. Senior Sammy Snygg entered the game to run for Baker at first. Cantu then laced a triple down the right field line to score a run to provide the Jays an 8-0 advantage.
Allender followed with the inside the park home run to score Creighton's final two runs of the game.
After two outs in the top of the fifth, Grambling State's Bridgette Simmons reached on an infield single to break up the no-hitter.
Creighton returns to action next weekend at the UTA Maverick Invitational hosted by UT Arlington in suburban Dallas. The Jays open with two games on Friday, March 1, battling the host Mavericks before facing Lamar on day one.

This organic formula is an effective way to drive away deer, gophers, rabbits, moles/voles, mice/rats and coots as well as other landscape pests. Apply EZ Critter Repel directly onto your landscape plantings. This product can be applied directly by spraying it onto the leaves of the plant or with any spray irrigation system equipped with an EZ-FLO dispenser. This product can be combined with fertilizers or applied by itself.
The initial barrier application should should be applied full strength with the use of a backpack sprayer and the amount used will depend on the amount of foliage targeted. This initial barrier application will provide a strong initial deterrence effect for the animals. The suggested maintenance coverage rate is 1 pint to 1 quart per 10,000 sq. feet per month applied with an EZ-FLO dispenser. Since this is a topical product, coverage rates must be adjusted in high precipitation areas to counter any wash-off effect..
Establish a "Critter-Free Zone" using EZ-FLO Dispensers and EZ-Organic Critter Repel
Set up your own Critter-Free Zone around your shrubs; flowers and yard. It's simple when you use EZ-Critter Control and any one of EZ-FLO's dispensing systems.
A critter repellant system consists of three main components. You may already have one or two of them in place. They are:
And to make it automatic you can use a timer to control when the system turns on or off.
What should an automatic Critter Repellant System do for you to make it worthwhile to spend the money?
We'll show you a simple; low cost way to create an automatic critter repellant system using some low-cost components. We're giving you this example so you can visualize how easy it is to set up your protection zones. If you have an in-ground irrigation system; these same principles apply. You simply adapt your approach to take into account the fixed positioning of your existing watering system. If you need to have your system modified to include spray heads just for the critter control; your irrigation contractor can assist you with the modifications.
To create an automatic stand-alone "Critter-Free Zone" system you will need the following items:
The purpose of your system is to periodically spray a small amount of water; mixed with right dose of EZ-FLO Critter Repel; onto the plants that you want to protect from unwanted critters.
Since this example is not a permanent system (you can always bypass the dispenser and use the garden hose like you would regularly) you would simply turn off the timer and close the shutoff valves to the EZ-FLO unit; thereby allowing you to do with the hose what you wish. Converting back to regular use takes less than a minute to turn-off or to restore back to its protective setting.

The closure of the H.T. Wiley Intermediate School pool has disrupted physical education classes and left the Downtown YMCA scrambling to rearrange schedules.
Watertown City School District Superintendent Terry N. Fralick said the pool has been closed for a few weeks because of a broken pump. He did not have a timeline for how long it may take to fix.
Our maintenance guys are working on it, he said.
However, Watertown Family Y Executive Director Peter W. Schmitt found out only Monday that the pool was closed, and he had scheduled swim lessons to begin Tuesday.
A notice about a change of location, posted on Monday, is on the Ys website, www.watertownymca.org/ymca.
We have two pools here, but the pools we have are already full with programs, he said.
The Tuesday and Thursday swimming lessons, scheduled for 4 to 5 p.m., were moved to the Downtown Y pool. However, because of the shift, Tuesdays open swim, previously scheduled for 4 to 5:30 p.m., and Thursdays Aqua Zumba, previously scheduled for 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., were postponed until after Feb. 14.
We apologize for the extreme inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience, the online notice says.
The Y has used the schools pool because there is more parking space and the pool is bigger, making it more accommodating for lessons.
Swim-based physical education classes also have been postponed until further notice.
For our fifth- and sixth-grade P.E., theyre just using alternate activities, Mr. Fralick said. Theyre not going down to the high school pool.
He said the cost to fix the pool was undetermined.
The last pool renovation was in 2008 as a part of a $16.3 million capital construction project.

Jets Get Flexed from SNF Game
The Jets will not be playing during the Sunday Night Football game after their matchup on Monday night this coming week. Per Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.
In week 16, Seattle/San Fran flexed to Sunday night, while Chargers/Jets moves to 1 pm
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) December 10, 2012
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comDisappointed, but I can't say I'm that surprised. After the loss to the Dolphins this was an inevitability. SNF wants the best ratings it can get and matching up two potential playoff teams fighting within a division with two dynamic young quarterbacks at the helm of both teams made this an easy decision for the folks at NBC Sports.

ECHA expects EU member states to carry out 50 substance evaluations every year under Reach
March 20, 2013 | Ian Young
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA; Helsinki) says it expects that European Union member states will carry out on average 50 substance evaluations every year under the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (Reach) legislation. "This seems realistic with a view of the capacity of EU member states for the evaluation work and responds to current regulatory needs for triggering the substance-evaluation process," ECHA says. Substance evaluation is the process that allows for clarification of suspected risks...

Reviews for games I have played. *Add this to list if you want.*
Cantr II
In Cantr II you basically have a chance at a second life, you can have multiple characters on one account.
This game is similar to real life and walking from one city to another can take hours of real time. You can steal items laying on a desk in an office
without being caught if no one else is around.
Crusades, The
The Crusades comes out of beta July first. This game allows you to assume the role of a "hero." Your job: conquer everyone else, gain ranks, and become the greatest hero in all the lands. You have multiple buildings like stables, barracks, walls and much more. This is a Real Time strategy / war game. Many units from Pickmen to trebuchea.
Nowhere Else And Beyond
NEAB is its abbriviation. NEAB is a 2D or 2.5D java game. You can see other players in real time as they travel through the world. You can train a few different skills but not that many. You can raise a pet, chat with other players, and much more. The Admin even comes in chat sometimes and talks to you like every other play.
A game with MANY different skils, some skills are only available to players who pay. There is one huge map were all the players train, fight, talk and have fun. Many people that play get extremely addicted to the game. SOme say it gets boring after a few months of play. But there is much to do in this game with lots of quests, skills ranging from magic to woodcutting to crafting. Lots to do in this game, it is also one of the best Graphical browser based games out there. People say it is 3D, but some argue saying it isn't truly 3D.
Ahh one of my most favorite game. Syrnia is a graphical medival based browser game. It has 15 skills, a few quests, and many items and monsters to fight. This game requires patience. Because cutting 1 peice of wood could take 1 minute depending on how many players are playing at the time. It has graphical pictures that change as time changes in the real world, meaning during the day it will be lit during the night it will be dark. Many things that will keep you busy playing.
Earth: 2025
Your goal in Earth: 2025 is to kill others with your vast armies and make your way to #1 in the ranks. You can spy, or build or buy troops, tanks, jets, and spys.
Utopia requires team work, you work together to become the best kingdom in all of Utopia. You have many races and personalitys to choose from.
I will actively look for games to add to the list also help with ratings and descriptions if you would like. PM me if you need any help.
I did have 2 posts so I put it all into 1 post.
Hope this helps,
Yeah that really helps I'll make sure to add them tommorow or the next day don't have time today...But thxs Mystixs and Chronotrigga you've helped out alot thus far.
Turn the End of Time into the Best of Time!

Diane Schachter, Psychology
Diane SchachterPsychology Faculty
LIOS Graduate College Alumni
Diane Schachter's career as a therapist can be considered activism by other means.
She'd planned to be a Marriage and Family Therapist after she got her master's degree. She'd even written her thesis on the communication strategies employed by married and cohabitating couples. But she realized after receiving her diploma that the things holding back many of her patients were social justice issues, not psychological ones: many of the poor couples she saw were unable to get ahead in a world increasingly divided between the rich and the poor.
So she got involved, returning to the neighborhoods in Chicago where she'd grown up – neighborhoods that had undergone tremendous changes – and helped organize.
"I was interested in applying some of those ideas that I'd learned in my graduate studies more to making a difference on the ground," she remembers. "It was very exciting."
A behind the scenes organizer, eschewing glamour, she eventually helped document the struggles of the people in these neighborhoods, and helped organize a conference of more than 30 non-profit leaders, from around the country, to speak about funding issues with the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
She sat next to him, at the conference, listening to stories of human misery in America and solutions that would make a difference to countless lives … and nothing happened.
The Fed Chairman was completely unmoved, she realized, stunned – and that was it. Despite all the evidence gathered, nothing was going to change for the people on the ground. No one was going to help them.
"That was a moment where my innocence fell away," she remembers.
She understood then that while it's important that people work for change on the big level, this wasn't for her: she wanted to work for change at the small level, where there are fewer bureaucratic road blocks; where if something needs to be done you can do it. Where you can see the change you make, and talk directly to the people affected.
"So I went back to therapy," she says. "I put the organizing back in the background, and picked up my work in the field of couples and family therapy."
Looking for ways to better serve her clients, Diane enrolled at LIOS.
"I came from a very traditional master's program, which I loved very much, but I felt I knew more about theoretical concepts than how to apply them," she remembers. "I came to LIOS asking 'So what?' and 'Now what?' LIOS' program was in applied learning, and I wanted to learn something that would help me really make a difference. I was hungry to develop as a practitioner."
She got her wish. "It's been such a rich experience for me," she says. "LIOS is all about applied learning, and about walking your talk. Integrity is so important, and that's what I was looking for. The years after I graduated have been filled with growth."
After LIOS, working as a Marriage and Family Therapist, she quickly found she'd been right: that she could confront issues of social injustice with her patients, one family at a time.
"Many families are all challenged by the same big issues, but feel fairly isolated about it," she says. "There are so many people confronting the same societal issues of economics, sexuality, culture, and most of them are wondering: 'are we normal?' I had a couple ask me just that today: 'are we normal?' The best answer to that question is to change the conversation. Building a bridge between what they are experiencing and what's happening around them, showing them that they're confronting challenges that are both personal and societal, makes a big difference to families. It can be an enormous help."
In particular, "there are an awful lot of families right now confronting issues of consumerism and the economy, and wanting to feel less pressured. It helps them to understand that this is something lots of people go through, and to look at the big picture as well as the personal. That's therapy, and that's activism."
Today Diane has a thriving MFT practice in Washington, and has returned to LIOS, where she serves as the Faculty Lead in Applied Behavioral Sciences. She has also continued her work as an organizer, having led a chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Seattle Tenants Union.
Most recently, she served as a Facilitator for the Greater Lakes Conference of Teachers in Bujumbura, Burundi. Over 90 teachers from five African countries came to this conference to share peace keeping practices with one another. Diane continues to support this effort by assisting an African NGO, "Widows and Orphans for Peace."
At LIOS, her goal is to make sure others can have the same kind of life-changing experience she had – one that has made her later work possible.
"I chose a program that was going to hold me as accountable for my behavior as I would want to hold clients and eventually my students," she says. "A program that would help me walk my talk. And that has been my experience ever since. I came back to teach at LIOS because I didn't see anything close to that at other institutions. What makes LIOS so exciting is that it allows students to bridge the traditional and non-traditional worlds. That's something you have to do because, in today's world, that's where the people you want to reach are."

Beriev is an interesting company (owned by the State). It was originally a design firm pre-WWII but has specialized in Amphibious aircraft of late for both military and civilian use. They have produced some rather unique designs especially the proposed Be-2500, a massive amphibian cargo aircraft. They seem to combine the practicalities of the market with some out of the box thinking in niche areas.
Most of the US/Canadian aerial firefighting are using older aircraft of converted military and civilian use airframes from old Martin Mars (1948) to DC-10s. Many are getting tired so there might be a market here for dedicated aircraft to be shared on either side of the border. The Be-200 holds around 3200 gallons (twice the CL-415) and is able to scoop up water at over 90% of take off speed, meaning more trips with bigger load.
The US government Forest Service spends around $250 Million per year for "waterbombers".
Thanks for the info. Residing in the Calif Sierra foothills, I watched with interest. Not a pilot, but a couple things struck me. Calif doesn't have a lot of real estate for reloads. The major rivers are usually in steep canyons or bracketed by levees. How long are the approach, dip, and climbout requirements? Lakes and reservoirs around hear might be a bit cramped. Not to mention the summer crop of pleasure craft and bass fishing boats to interfere with a clean line. The Be-200 at 3200 gal holds a bit more than the C-130 3000 gal MAAFS. That platform also has its issues: limited numbers of MAAFS, competition for Air NG unit time in Afganistan, etc. We still have the rotary force with bambi-buckets but more than a bucket brigade is needed.
These are really cool airplanes. It's unfortunate the the USFS won't let them work in this country. Instead, they rely on old technology. The number of water bombers that can scoop and drop continues to decrease. The DC-10 and C-130's all have long turn around times, caused in part by the need to land, then load, then go. On long runways. The FAA is opposed to letting these planes work here, and has thrown obstacle after obstacle at them.
Evergreen converts B-747-100 nicknamed SuperTanker here in the States but have not been able to get real long-term contracts/make a go of it to date
Here is what Evergreen put out about the season.
The USFS fire response to a wildland fire was once described as "Spending a million or more per day until the rainy season starts"

Wow....cool. Although, those aren't really King Airs. ;)

Pharmacokinetic Study of 2 Doses of ATV/r OD + 2 NRTIs in Thai HIV-1 Infected Patients
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Several studies from HIV-NAT have demonstrated high nevirapine, indinavir, saquinavir and lopinavir/r levels when compared to Caucasian patients. Until now, the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir have not been explored in a Thai population. We postulate that ATV levels, as with other PIs, are higher in Thai people. Therefore, the level of ATV in ATV/RTV 300/100 OD may be higher than the acceptable range and could be associated with ATV related toxicity.
HIV Infections
Drug: Atazanavir
Phase 1
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|The Pharmacokinetics of Atazanavir / Ritonavir 200/100 OD Versus 300/100 mg OD in Combination With 2 NRTIs in HIV Pre-treated Patients
- the pharmacokinetics of atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/RTV) 200/100 mg once daily in a sample of 22 patients experiencing virological success [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic between these patients and data from Thai cohort treated with ATV/RTV 300/100 mg OD [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- short term safety, tolerability and efficacy data in these PK participating patients [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Active Comparator: 2
ATV/r 200/100 mg OD
Drug: Atazanavir
ATV/r 300/100mg OD vs ATV/r 200/100 mg OD
Detailed Description:
We are interested in once daily ATV/RTV 200/100 mg OD because of the convenience, reduction in ATV doses which may improve adherence while reducing toxicity and cost. There are limited prospective studies evaluating pharmacokinetic and long term efficacy and safety of atazanavir/ritonavir once daily dose in combination of NRTIs in HIV-1 pretreated patients. We believe that the PK parameters of ATV/RTV given at 200/100mg daily in Thai patients will be equivalent to the ATV/RTV 300/100mg once daily dosing in Caucasian patients when combined with 2NRTIs, and that the once daily regimen will have better safety, tolerability profile, and cost saving while maintaining good CD4 and VL outcome. If, the pharmacokinetic profile of ATV/RTV 200/100 mg OD + 2NRTIs is in acceptable range or comparable with standard dose of ATV/RTV 300/100 mg OD, long term efficacy will be explored later.
