16 U.S. Code § 824p - Siting of interstate electric transmission facilities
(a) Designation of national interest electric transmission corridors
(1) Not later than 1 year after August 8, 2005, and every 3 years thereafter, the Secretary of Energy (referred to in this section as the "Secretary"), in consultation with affected States, shall conduct a study of electric transmission congestion.
(2) After considering alternatives and recommendations from interested parties (including an opportunity for comment from affected States), the Secretary shall issue a report, based on the study, which may designate any geographic area experiencing electric energy transmission capacity constraints or congestion that adversely affects consumers as a national interest electric transmission corridor.
(3) The Secretary shall conduct the study and issue the report in consultation with any appropriate regional entity referred to in section 824o of this title.
(4) In determining whether to designate a national interest electric transmission corridor under paragraph (2), the Secretary may consider whether—
(A) the economic vitality and development of the corridor, or the end markets served by the corridor, may be constrained by lack of adequate or reasonably priced electricity;
(i) economic growth in the corridor, or the end markets served by the corridor, may be jeopardized by reliance on limited sources of energy; and
(b) Construction permit
Except as provided in subsection (i) of this section, the Commission may, after notice and an opportunity for hearing, issue one or more permits for the construction or modification of electric transmission facilities in a national interest electric transmission corridor designated by the Secretary under subsection (a) of this section if the Commission finds that—
(A) a State in which the transmission facilities are to be constructed or modified does not have authority to—
(B) the applicant for a permit is a transmitting utility under this chapter but does not qualify to apply for a permit or siting approval for the proposed project in a State because the applicant does not serve end-use customers in the State; or
(C) a State commission or other entity that has authority to approve the siting of the facilities has—
(i) withheld approval for more than 1 year after the filing of an application seeking approval pursuant to applicable law or 1 year after the designation of the relevant national interest electric transmission corridor, whichever is later; or
(2) the facilities to be authorized by the permit will be used for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce;
(4) the proposed construction or modification will significantly reduce transmission congestion in interstate commerce and protects or benefits consumers;
(5) the proposed construction or modification is consistent with sound national energy policy and will enhance energy independence; and
(c) Permit applications
(1) Permit applications under subsection (b) of this section shall be made in writing to the Commission.
(d) Comments
In any proceeding before the Commission under subsection (b) of this section, the Commission shall afford each State in which a transmission facility covered by the permit is or will be located, each affected Federal agency and Indian tribe, private property owners, and other interested persons, a reasonable opportunity to present their views and recommendations with respect to the need for and impact of a facility covered by the permit.
(e) Rights-of-way
(1) In the case of a permit under subsection (b) of this section for electric transmission facilities to be located on property other than property owned by the United States or a State, if the permit holder cannot acquire by contract, or is unable to agree with the owner of the property to the compensation to be paid for, the necessary right-of-way to construct or modify the transmission facilities, the permit holder may acquire the right-of-way by the exercise of the right of eminent domain in the district court of the United States for the district in which the property concerned is located, or in the appropriate court of the State in which the property is located.
(2) Any right-of-way acquired under paragraph (1) shall be used exclusively for the construction or modification of electric transmission facilities within a reasonable period of time after the acquisition.
(3) The practice and procedure in any action or proceeding under this subsection in the district court of the United States shall conform as nearly as practicable to the practice and procedure in a similar action or proceeding in the courts of the State in which the property is located.
(4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize the use of eminent domain to acquire a right-of-way for any purpose other than the construction, modification, operation, or maintenance of electric transmission facilities and related facilities. The right-of-way cannot be used for any other purpose, and the right-of-way shall terminate upon the termination of the use for which the right-of-way was acquired.
(f) Compensation
(1) Any right-of-way acquired pursuant to subsection (e) of this section shall be considered a taking of private property for which just compensation is due.
(g) State law
Nothing in this section precludes any person from constructing or modifying any transmission facility in accordance with State law.
(h) Coordination of Federal authorizations for transmission facilities
(1) In this subsection:
(A) The term "Federal authorization" means any authorization required under Federal law in order to site a transmission facility.
(2) The Department of Energy shall act as the lead agency for purposes of coordinating all applicable Federal authorizations and related environmental reviews of the facility.
(3) To the maximum extent practicable under applicable Federal law, the Secretary shall coordinate the Federal authorization and review process under this subsection with any Indian tribes, multistate entities, and State agencies that are responsible for conducting any separate permitting and environmental reviews of the facility, to ensure timely and efficient review and permit decisions.
(A) As head of the lead agency, the Secretary, in consultation with agencies responsible for Federal authorizations and, as appropriate, with Indian tribes, multistate entities, and State agencies that are willing to coordinate their own separate permitting and environmental reviews with the Federal authorization and environmental reviews, shall establish prompt and binding intermediate milestones and ultimate deadlines for the review of, and Federal authorization decisions relating to, the proposed facility.
(B) The Secretary shall ensure that, once an application has been submitted with such data as the Secretary considers necessary, all permit decisions and related environmental reviews under all applicable Federal laws shall be completed—
(C) The Secretary shall provide an expeditious pre-application mechanism for prospective applicants to confer with the agencies involved to have each such agency determine and communicate to the prospective applicant not later than 60 days after the prospective applicant submits a request for such information concerning—
(A) As lead agency head, the Secretary, in consultation with the affected agencies, shall prepare a single environmental review document, which shall be used as the basis for all decisions on the proposed project under Federal law.
(B) The Secretary and the heads of other agencies shall streamline the review and permitting of transmission within corridors designated under section 503 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act [1] (43 U.S.C. 1763) by fully taking into account prior analyses and decisions relating to the corridors.
(A) If any agency has denied a Federal authorization required for a transmission facility, or has failed to act by the deadline established by the Secretary pursuant to this section for deciding whether to issue the authorization, the applicant or any State in which the facility would be located may file an appeal with the President, who shall, in consultation with the affected agency, review the denial or failure to take action on the pending application.
(B) Based on the overall record and in consultation with the affected agency, the President may—
(C) The President shall issue a decision not later than 90 days after the date of the filing of the appeal.
(D) In making a decision under this paragraph, the President shall comply with applicable requirements of Federal law, including any requirements of—
(A) Not later than 18 months after August 8, 2005, the Secretary shall issue any regulations necessary to implement this subsection.
(i) Not later than 1 year after August 8, 2005, the Secretary and the heads of all Federal agencies with authority to issue Federal authorizations shall enter into a memorandum of understanding to ensure the timely and coordinated review and permitting of electricity transmission facilities.
(A) Each Federal land use authorization for an electricity transmission facility shall be issued—
(i) for a duration, as determined by the Secretary, commensurate with the anticipated use of the facility; and
(B) On the expiration of the authorization (including an authorization issued before August 8, 2005), the authorization shall be reviewed for renewal taking fully into account reliance on such electricity infrastructure, recognizing the importance of the authorization for public health, safety, and economic welfare and as a legitimate use of Federal land.
(9) In exercising the responsibilities under this section, the Secretary shall consult regularly with—
(B) electric reliability organizations (including related regional entities) approved by the Commission; and
(i) Interstate compacts
(1) The consent of Congress is given for three or more contiguous States to enter into an interstate compact, subject to approval by Congress, establishing regional transmission siting agencies to—
(2) The Secretary may provide technical assistance to regional transmission siting agencies established under this subsection.
(3) The regional transmission siting agencies shall have the authority to review, certify, and permit siting of transmission facilities, including facilities in national interest electric transmission corridors (other than facilities on property owned by the United States).
(4) The Commission shall have no authority to issue a permit for the construction or modification of an electric transmission facility within a State that is a party to a compact, unless the members of the compact are in disagreement and the Secretary makes, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the finding described in subsection (b)(1)(C) of this section.
(j) Relationship to other laws
(1) Except as specifically provided, nothing in this section affects any requirement of an environmental law of the United States, including the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

Most expensive tires I've ever purchased for my Durango - thought I'd go with something a bit more aggressive looking. they wobbled from day one. Brought back to Sears three times for rebalancing of tires and alignment check. They ended up saying my inner tie rods were worn or rack was loose - they were less than a month old. After paying to have alignment checked elsewhere, they said they were fine. Sears was unable to determine if tires were out of round or anything else. Had no problem with my old worn Nexans - problems started with these Falkans. I've lived with the wobbling for 20k miles. Now the outside of the tires are bald all around - but centers have plenty of tread. This is because the tires are designed with a lip on the outer two inches of edge giving half the tread as the rest of the tire. So now it just looks like I have an out of alignment vehicle with bald tires - looks very bad - and has no tread which I am sure impacts traction/handling/etc. In my opinion is a significant design flaw - looks awful. I would not recommend ever.

Had two sets of the Falken Wildpeak A-T 60,000 mile Warranty. I got 28,000 out of the first and 30,000 miles out of the second set. Pep-Boys refused to honor the warranty on the second set of new tires even though the manager could not find a thing wrong with the first set other than worn out.

POTSDAM - SLC Arts Council is excited to announce the first annual Community Gallery Project Art Walk on May 10 in the villages of Canton and Potsdam. Starting at 4 p.m. in Canton and 5 p.m. in Potsdam, Community Gallery Project businesses will be hosting artist receptions for the entire community.
Musicians from the Ives Park Music Family Festival will be joining the Art Walk festivities by playing at a few locations. With the involvement of over 20 local artists, SLC Arts promotes its mission to support Local Art for Local People.
The SLC Arts Community Gallery Project is a simple idea to turn the walls of area businesses, public buildings, and restaurants into galleries. In turn, increased visibility will promote the work of student artists and regional artists and the establishments that feature this artwork. This is a fabulous opportunity to celebrate the work of area artists in surprising places. We are thrilled to see so many people involved in building community through the arts, said SLC Arts Council Executive Director, Rebekah Wilkins-Pepiton.
The project was made possible by the dedication of St. Lawrence University student Allison Hall, who worked closely with SLC Arts in developing the project and developing relationships with Canton business. Additionally, SUNY Potsdam students Chris Beebe, Allison Applegate and Anthony Powers helped organize Potsdam business involvement. The scope of the project required the dedication of people from the entire area.
Artwork will be featured at the following Canton businesses: Spicy Iguana, Natures Storehouse, Josies Little Pizzeria, The Club, and the St. Lawrence University ODY Library. In Potsdam the following businesses are hosting artists: The Alchemistress, Aerus, Josies Pizzeria II, Wear on Earth, Creative Spirit, Maple Run Emporium, SLC Arts Gallery, Harris Medical, Northern Interiors, First Crush Bistro, Potsdam Chamber of Commerce, Potsdam IGA, Canton-Potsdam Hospital, and Plumley Real Estate. Simply look for the bright yellow Community Gallery Project sign.

Home Remedy: Hair Conditioner
This is an easy, quick and very cheap recipe for homemade hair conditioner. It is -- are you ready -- vinegar! That's right. You just wet your hair as usual and then pour a mixture of half warm water and half vinegar over your hair. You let it sit for just a few minutes and then rinse it off. It is easy and quick and our tester, Tara says it gives her shinier, healthier, easy to manage hair. It also rinses all of the chemicals from hair products out. This is a great idea, if you are willing to try it.

There are not many things more risky than making a movie, and especially a movie the whole family can watch. Even knowing this, Paul Parkinson, '93, Economics, left a 16-year career in the medical supply business to form a media company, Gradual Elevate Media, in January 2012. Two years later, his first project has come to full fruition.
"I wanted to create movies that not only entertain, but that also address current social issues. That's what I've done with 'Nowhere Safe,'" Parkinson said. The first showing was held on February 27 at the Larry H. Miller Megaplaex Gateway in Salt Lake City, in front of a packed theater of more than 500 people. "One thing we can all control is how we treat each other. For whatever reason, civility and kindness seem to be on the decline. So I made a movie that addresses the issue, particularly among teens. "
Parkinson's plans include not only a continual slate of films, but also a digital platform that carries movies more in touch with the values most people have in common.
"When I first started in this business, everyone told me you can't make a movie with a message. My reply has always been, 'Every movie has a message. Most are negative messages that don't uplift or make society any better.' Mine will all be positive.'"

Video: NYS Gas Tax Highest in Nation
BUFFALO, NY - The gas tax paid by motorists in New York State is the highest in the nation.
The American Petroleum Institute shows how New York beats Connecticut and California. In New York, nearly 70-cents per gallon is for taxes.
Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski of GasBuddy.com says the taxes are "a way to generate revenue for the government."
New York caps its taxes to the first $2 per gallon. When prices at the pump go up, there is no additional benefit to the state. However, that is not the case for the County. There is no tax cap on gas in counties, so when prices rise, the county gets more money.

ORLEANS – The American's Veterans' Honor Guard's sole purpose is to give all military veterans their salute and arms.
"It is our honor and privilege to provide this service to our fellow veterans and their families," states the organization's website.
The American Legion Orleans Post #23 is one of two local veterans' organizations that provide the service with the Vermont National Guard. The second is the Island Pond Post.
"We provide the firing detail and flag detail," said Pete Bell, coordinator for the Orleans Post Honors Team. "We always bring the American Flag, the appropriate service flag. We present the grave marker and flag to the family."

Conservation easements: The Green Mafia tells us this is the only way to save the family farm. Without their tax credits and restrictions on development rights, America will be paved over and Astroturf will replace sod. We're in crisis, they tell us. However, as H.L Mencken once warned, "A plan to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."
Conservation and environmental groups openly advocate conservation easements as the answer to saving farmland, as do state departments of agriculture, farm bureaus, and the federal government. A full court press is on to lock in millions of acres of private property under the blazing headline, "Save the Family Farm."
There's no question that the family farm is under assault. Taxes, international trade agreements, inflation, and government regulations are eating away at the ability to keep the farm operating. I've never met a farmer who wanted to give up and stop working the land that perhaps his ancestors first acquired. In most cases it's agony for a farmer to decide to sell his property. On the other hand, the land is his main asset. To provide a good life for the family, selling the land, many times to developers, is necessary for survival.
However, there is now a much more lethal threat facing small farmers, and the outrageous fact is, this threat is being disguised as a way to help them. The real threat is the green solution — "conservation easements." And farmers are falling into this trap across the country.
Conservation easements are promoted by land trusts and environmental groups. Tax breaks are promoted. Even cash is offered those farmers willing to sell their development rights under the argument that this will drive away the temptation to sell the land to nasty developers, thus keeping it farmland. The clever slogan, "Farm land lost is farm land lost forever," helps sell the case for easements.
The promoters of such ideas are very good with the sales pitch. If it were politically correct to do so, one could actually hear "God Bless America" playing in the background as the promises to save the family farm roll off the pitchman's tongue.
Say proponents, "A conservation easement is a voluntary perpetual agreement that restricts non-agricultural uses such as mining and large scale residential and commercial development." They boldly promote the easements by promising that "the landowner continues to own, live on, and use the land." They even promise that the land can be passed down to heirs, along with generous tax credits. What's not to like? Desperate farmers are flocking to the pitchman's wagon to buy his life-saving potion.
Of course, as another famous pitchman, P.T Barnum, once said, "there's a sucker born every minute." Farmers beware the slick talker who has the answers to your woes. His answers may well be your demise — and your farm's. It's wise to read the fine print of a conservation easement agreement. Here are some facts.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources is walking back from a threat last summer to ban offshore parties in Waikiki known as floatopias or flotillas. The parties feature hundreds of people who paddle out on just about anything that floats, and then tie off to each other.
"It usually starts off with a couple of boats getting together, and then rafts and everyone start tying off to each other and jumping from rafts to boats," explains Aaron Rosenblatt, who has taken part in the festivities the past five years. "It's a lot of fun."
Discussions to outlaw the blowouts began last summer after the annual Fourth of July flotilla off Kuhio Beach attracted hundreds of people, some who had to be assisted back to shore through five foot surf. City lifeguards estimated 175 to 200 party-goers were brought to the beach on water craft, some who were noticeably intoxicated. The incident prompted a meeting a few days later between various stakeholders concerned about the situation, including representatives from the Honolulu Police Department, the city's Ocean Safety Division and DLNR.
In an email to KITV4, spokeswoman Deborah Ward said DLNR would consider all available options to bring some level of control to future waterborne parties, but administrative rule changes are not being considered at this time.
"As long as the party-goers are not disturbing others or putting themselves at risk, and are operating their vessels in a safe manner, there's no need for the state to get involved," wrote Ward. However, Ward said conservation officers would keep a close watch over the parties, making sure boat operators are not drunk, or driving in a reckless manner.
Meanwhile, the head of the city's Ocean Safety Division, Jim Howe, said lifeguards would also take extra precautions during the offshore celebrations.
"Ocean Safety remains committed to working cooperatively and effectively with the Department of Land and Natural Resources to keep our waters safe," Howe wrote in an email.
Kahi Pacarro, of Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, welcomed DLNR's approach. Members of Pacarro's non-profit group, including Rosenblatt, partake in the annual Independence Day festivities, while also gathering trash offshore.
"I appreciate that," Pacarro said of DLNR's decision. "I hope that they're seeing that we're trying to be responsible with this event; that it's been going on for a long time, and it's a tradition at this point."
Pacarro insists many of those who were assisted back to shore on July 4 were simply taking advantage of a free ride.
"Lifeguards were coming out there with their jet skis," he said. "If you were to ask anybody that had to swim in almost a mile into shore if they wanted a ride, of course they're going to say, 'yes.'"
But Waikiki beach boy Rob Siock says more than a few of the revelers who were assisted to the beach were showing clear signs of being overly intoxicated.
"A lot of people that couldn't handle their time out there, and a little too excessive drinking," said Siock. "As soon as they came in, just boards all over the beach, and not handling their liquor too well."
Meanwhile, spring break is already underway in Waikiki, with mainland college students arriving daily. Already, an online message board is promoting a floatopia party at 11 a.m. on March 29. One message reads, "Location will be given closer to the date through messages, so we don't get our party ruined by the cops so fast."

DELAYED option for the
INSERT statement is a MySQL
extension to standard SQL that is very useful if you have
clients that cannot or need not wait for the
INSERT to complete. This is a
common situation when you use MySQL for logging and you also
periodically run
SELECT and
UPDATE statements that take a
long time to complete.
When a client uses
DELAYED, it gets an okay from the server at once, and
the row is queued to be inserted when the table is not in use by
any other thread.
Another major benefit of using
DELAYED is that inserts from many clients are bundled
together and written in one block. This is much faster than
performing many separate inserts.
Note that
INSERT DELAYED is
slower than a normal
INSERT if
the table is not otherwise in use. There is also the additional
overhead for the server to handle a separate thread for each
table for which there are delayed rows. This means that you
should use
INSERT DELAYED only
when you are really sure that you need it.
The queued rows are held only in memory until they are inserted
into the table. This means that if you terminate
mysqld forcibly (for example, with
kill -9) or if mysqld dies
unexpectedly, any queued rows that have not been
written to disk are lost.
There are some constraints on the use of
INSERT DELAYED works only
ARCHIVE, and
tables. For engines that do not support
DELAYED, an error occurs.
An error occurs for
DELAYED if used with a table that has been locked
LOCK TABLES because the insert must
be handled by a separate thread, not by the session that
holds the lock.
MyISAM tables, if there are no free
blocks in the middle of the data file, concurrent
SELECT and
INSERT statements are
supported. Under these circumstances, you very seldom need
to use
INSERT DELAYED with
INSERT DELAYED should be used
only for
INSERT statements
that specify value lists. The server ignores
DELAYED for
SELECT or
... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements.
Because the
statement returns immediately, before the rows are inserted,
you cannot use
LAST_INSERT_ID() to get the
AUTO_INCREMENT value that the statement
might generate.
DELAYED rows are not visible to
SELECT statements until they
actually have been inserted.
Prior to MySQL 5.5.7,
DELAYED was treated as a normal
INSERT if the statement
inserted multiple rows, binary logging was enabled, and the
global logging format was statement-based (that is, whenever
binlog_format was set to
STATEMENT). Beginning with MySQL 5.5.7,
INSERT DELAYED is always
handled as a simple
(that is, without the
DELAYED option)
whenever the value of
binlog_format is
STATEMENT or
(In the latter case, the statement no longer triggers a
switch to row-based logging, and so is logged using the
statement-based format.)
This does not apply when using row-based binary logging mode
binlog_format set to
ROW), in which
INSERT DELAYED statements are
always executed using the
DELAYED option
as specified, and logged as row-update events.
DELAYED is ignored on slave replication
servers, so that
DELAYED is treated as a normal
INSERT on slaves. This is
DELAYED could cause the slave to
have different data than the master.
statements are lost if a table is write locked and
ALTER TABLE is used to modify
the table structure.
INSERT DELAYED is not
supported for views.
INSERT DELAYED is not
supported for partitioned tables.
The following describes in detail what happens when you use the
DELAYED option to
INSERT or
REPLACE. In this description, the
"thread" is the thread that received an
INSERT DELAYED statement and
"handler" is the thread that handles all
INSERT DELAYED statements for a
particular table.
When a thread executes a
statement for a table, a handler thread is created to
process all
DELAYED statements for the
table, if no such handler already exists.
The thread checks whether the handler has previously
acquired a
DELAYED lock; if not, it tells
the handler thread to do so. The
lock can be obtained even if other threads have a
READ or
WRITE lock on
the table. However, the handler waits for all
ALTER TABLE locks or
TABLES statements to finish, to ensure that the
table structure is up to date.
The thread executes the
INSERT statement, but instead
of writing the row to the table, it puts a copy of the final
row into a queue that is managed by the handler thread. Any
syntax errors are noticed by the thread and reported to the
client program.
The client cannot obtain from the server the number of
duplicate rows or the
value for the resulting row, because the
INSERT returns before the
insert operation has been completed. (If you use the C API,
mysql_info() function
does not return anything meaningful, for the same reason.)
The binary log is updated by the handler thread when the row is inserted into the table. In case of multiple-row inserts, the binary log is updated when the first row is inserted.
Each time that
delayed_insert_limit rows
are written, the handler checks whether any
SELECT statements are still
pending. If so, it permits these to execute before
When the handler has no more rows in its queue, the table is
unlocked. If no new
DELAYED statements are received within
seconds, the handler terminates.
If more than
delayed_queue_size rows are
pending in a specific handler queue, the thread requesting
INSERT DELAYED waits until
there is room in the queue. This is done to ensure that
mysqld does not use all memory for the
delayed memory queue.
The handler thread shows up in the MySQL process list with
delayed_insert in the
Command column. It is killed if you
execute a
TABLES statement or kill it with
. However,
before exiting, it first stores all queued rows into the
table. During this time it does not accept any new
INSERT statements from other
threads. If you execute an
DELAYED statement after this, a new handler thread
is created.
Note that this means that
DELAYED statements have higher priority than
INSERT statements if
there is an
handler running. Other update statements have to wait until
INSERT DELAYED queue is
empty, someone terminates the handler thread (with
), or someone
executes a
The following status variables provide information about
INSERT DELAYED statements.
|Status Variable
|Number of handler threads
|Number of rows written with
|Number of rows waiting to be written
You can view these variables by issuing a
SHOW STATUS statement or by
executing a mysqladmin extended-status

I found that on an empty table in an unloaded MySQL instance, insert delayed was actually about 30% slower than plain insert! Batching multiple inserts into a single 'insert values' call seems to be more effective as a speedup. Results may vary on a busy database.
|Posted by Peter Laursen on November 18 2008 1:59pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
A consequence of the INSERT being executed in another thread is that LOCK TABLE tbl WRITE is not compatible with INSERT DELAYED ..., see
lock table lt2 write;
insert delayed into lt2 (t) values ('123');
-- Error Code : 1165
-- INSERT DELAYED can't be used with table 'lt2' because it is locked with LOCK TABLES

There is one thing that is missing in the docs.
INSERT DELAYED is treated as normal INSERT if a column has defined TRIGGER (AFTER or BEFORE INSERT).
I found a bug about that and some comment regarding missing doc info, about this behaviour: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=32220

Everett Collection
John Wayne 1907 - 1979
In more than 200 films made over 50 years, John Wayne saddled up to become the greatest figure of one of America's greatest native art forms, the Western.
The movies he starred in rode the range from out-of-the-money sagebrush quickies to such classics as "Stagecoach" and "Red River." He won an Oscar as best actor for another western, "True Grit," in 1969. Yet some of the best films he made told stories far from the wilds of the West, such as "The Quiet Man" and "The Long Voyage Home." — Richard F. Shepard

AURORA, CO - A mother and her 2-year-old daughter hit by a car in Aurora remain hospitalized. Police say both will live, thanks in no small part to the actions of both officers and bystanders Monday night. They lifted a car to rescue the two who had become trapped underneath. The moment Sgt. Matt Brukbacher saw that there was no way to get the mother and her daughter out from underneath the car was the moment he knew he was going to need a little help.
"I just kind of hollered to some folks around and said, 'Hey, let's get this car up at the count of three,'" the Aurora Police Department officer recalled on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the auto-pedestrian crash at Exposition and Abilene in Aurora.
Three seconds later, part of the Kia Rio was up in the air. That's when Aurora Sgt. Jon Kessler found himself scurrying underneath to help rescue little Angela Kalala, 2, and her mother Kapinga Muanza Kalala, 37.
"There were people helping out everywhere. It was amazing," Sgt. Kessler told a group of reporters on Tuesday. "Everybody was just really helpful."
Kalala was trying to cross a relatively busy road when she and her three children were hit on Monday evening. Police say the driver of the Kia was not at fault. Kalala's twin boys were not significantly injured, but both she and her daughter remain hospitalized as of Tuesday afternoon.
Among the bystanders who assisted officers that evening was Richard Chan.
"The mom was unconscious. She was leaning over. The girl was trying to get out but her leg was trapped under her mom's chest. Her mom was pinned to the ground," Chan said.
Chan and several others lifted the vehicle, along side police, and helped pull the mother and toddler to safety.
"No one really gave it a second thought. Everyone just jumped in and lifted the car. I think if that car would've stayed on her a little bit longer she would have died," Chan said.
"It was horrific. The woman was underneath the car with her baby," said Jeffrey Simpson who helped in the rescue with his stepdaughter Nashelle Gibson. "The car was actually light because of all of the adrenaline."
"At that moment I had two people who were possibly going to die," Sgt. Brukbacher recalled. "I wasn't going to let that happen with me just standing there waiting for someone else to do what I could do. It was time to step up, and we got the job done. It was going to happen. Whether we had 50 people or five, it was going to get done."

MASSENA - An auditor hired by the village has urged the Board of Trustees to be vigilant in reviewing their financial statements as the municipality works through a transition of personnel in the treasurers office.
Auditor Carl Seyfarth of the Malone-based firm Seyfarth & Seyfarth pointed out the village has several employees in new positions, including Treasurer Julie Sharlow. She was promoted to that post in September following the retirement of Daniel E. Case. Lisa Tyo will be moving into the senior account clerk position to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Laura Gagne.
At times like this, when you have big changes in the staffing (and) most people are going through a learning curve, you are going to want to be vigilant in monitoring whats going on, Mr. Seyfarth told the village board.
When you get your monetary reports, ask questions about them, and if theres anything that doesnt make sense, follow up on it.
In his audit, Mr. Seyfarths reported a misstatement of approximately $24,500, due to the omission of accrued interest on a serial bond issued in August 2011, as the only citation.
The auditor also reiterated a previous concern about a lack of segregation of duties in the office.
... the same individuals that open mail also have access to cash receipts and accounts receivable records. Individuals with access to cash perform the bank reconciliations. The employees that prepare disbursements also have purchasing power. The individuals who approve time also distribute payroll checks to employees. The lack of segregation of duties can lead to fraud and misuse of assets, according to the audit.
But the auditors acknowledged the small size of the office staff might mean a perfect set of controls was not possible.
Mr. Seyfarth said the village was in good shape with its finances and urged more experienced village officials to work with the newer employees.
I encourage you guys to give (newer employees) as much support as you can, make sure they have proper training, Mr. Seyfarth said. Especially at the end of the year when its time for your year-end quotas.
Mr. Seyfarth also recommended that the village update its software, particularly in the area of backing up its electronic date files, in the event of a hard-drive crash.
The audit Mr. Seyfarth presented to the board revealed the village generated more revenue than it had budgeted. In spring 2011, the village budgeted $1.459 million for the 2011-12 fiscal year, but ended up generating $1.669 million. The village board is anticipating revenue of $1.569 million for the 2012-13 fiscal year.
The audit stated the villages general fund has a healthy fund balance, but noted that the fund balance is shrinking and will not be available to balance budgets in the future. The village utilized $607,566 of its fund balance last year to offset property tax increases, and after that appropriation had an available fund balance of $838,413 entering the current fiscal year.
The audit pointed out there was a 0.6 percent increase in villages general fund for the 2012-13 fiscal year, totalling $8,683,670. The increase was largely due to wage increases of 1.5 percent for employee contracts that expired May 31, 2012, and a 17 percent increase in spending on retirement.
The audit suggested the village will face difficult budgeting processes in the future. All indications are that future fiscal years will be equally as trying (as last year), the audit reads.
An audit from last year projected water and sewer rate increases of 5 percent with the adoption of the 2011-2012 budget, in an effort to avoid a large rate increase in the future, according to the audit. However, the village board later decided not to hike its rates.
Mayor James F. Hidy said he was pleased with the results of the audi, and commended the work of former Village Treasurer Case for his meticulous work.
In the years (Mr. Case) has been with us, the village has always been in good shape, and with (current treasurer) Julie (Sharlow), I know well continue to be in good shape, Mr. Hidy said.

Great Natural Dog Chew
By Sadie
from Murphy, NC
Dogs love these! They do not make a mess or shatter into pieces. Keep smaller dogs occupied for hours. Even if they swallow end pieces, they DO digest. I would not be without them.
Great Treats!
By Berner Mom
from Chicago, IL
I use the product as a daily treat for my large breed dog, but I could see it used as a special treat or a training reward too. I prefer these to bully sticks because they seem to be easily digested by my pup. Great deal on the 50 pack too!

My Dog Loves These!!!
By LuvMyPups
from Independence, MO
My Corgi has loved these since she was 6 months old and needed something safe and satisfying to chew on. One of these will last her 2-3 days usually and is still satisfying her chewing needs today at 2 and a half years old. She's never choked on them and they have never made her sick like rawhide did. They go fast with a larger dog though. My daughter's large dog can chew one up in 5 minutes. Much better value for small dogs in my opinion. The only thing I don't like about them is they can be smelly, but my dog loves that about them, and I just want her to be happy! The smell is not bad though, not enough to keep from buying them...
Will purchase again

Yummy chewy - made in USA
By Tee
from Portland, ME
Both dogs are big chewers and enjoy these bones for longer than other rawhide type treats. They don't have any offensive odor and I haven't noticed rug staining. They are made in the USA - which is very important for me since we do not know what gets put into those made elsewhere. I do wish they were not as expensive --- but the being made in this country makes it worth the extra $.
Helps Keep Teeth Clean
By The dog owner
from Florida
Good chewing exercise for dogs. Helps to keep their teeth clean. They love chewing on these bones.
Merrick Wishbone Tendons
By Golden Retriever Mom
from Santa Fe, NM
My 2 Golden Retrievers receive a bone everyday and chew on the bones until they are gone. The bones usually last between 10 - 60 minutes, depending on the dog and the size of the bone. Some bones are much larger than others, yet all are priced the same. I purchase bulk, as this is cheaper since my dogs are consuming approximately 60 bones per month. These bones are more expensive than rawhide, yet are more healthy and are always the perferred treat when my dogs are given a choice.
The highlight of our dogs' day
By Dog Lover
from Louisville, KY
Our two dogs look forward to this "treat" every evening.

Why 'heritage' fruit trees are getting hard to find
Answer by: Taun Beddes, Utah State University Extension horticulturist with information from Teryl Roper, Utah State University Plants, Soils and Climate department head.
Questions about fruit growing are common to Utah State University Extension horticulturists. The topic has been raised about fruit varieties once available in the not-so-distant-past and why these varieties are difficult to find or are not available today. Consider this information.Â
 * An example of one of these "lost" varieties is the Potawatomi plum. It was once widely planted in the Intermountain West. According to the 1910 published Agricultural Experiment Station book, "The Plums of New York," the variety was found in 1875 in Tennessee. People quickly recognized its excellent flavor, cold hardiness and disease resistance, and it became popular throughout much of the United States. The book states that the plum "is possibly of greater cultural value than any other of its species especially for northern latitudes. It's of high quality...the texture of the fruit being especially pleasing in eating, and though melting and juicy it keeps and ships well because of its tough skin." The plum is still found on old homesteads and roadsides, but it is no longer known to be commercially available.
 As to why varieties as highly regarded as the Potawatomi plum lose favor, the reasons are many. Culturally, eating habits change. Many nursery owners have noted that the number of plums they sell has greatly declined over the last several years.  Â
 Economics also play an important role. New fruit cultivars are regularly introduced by breeders and nurseries. These offer greater choice to consumers and often have superior characteristics. These may include such things as better flavor, ripening more consistently for easier harvest, resistance to bruising, increased disease resistance and retaining quality longer in storage than older cultivars. Many orchardists note that because of these reasons, it doesn't make sense to keep older fruit cultivars in their orchards.Â
 An example of a successful new fruit cultivar supplanting older types is the Honeycrisp apple. It has become wildly popular to the point that some garden centers have trouble keeping it stocked. It has good flavor, stores well, ripens consistently in our climate and is cold hardy in most populated areas of Utah.
Orchardists and home gardeners have planted it and other new cultivars in favor of older ones. One orchardist reported that he sells dozens of bushels of Honeycrisp apples and very few of either Red or Golden Delicious, two older cultivars that have been losing favor with consumers.
 With all of this said, there are those who still favor heritage varieties such as the Golden Delicious apple (discovered in West Virginia in 1905) and still want to have them in their orchards. Fortunately, most can still be found with some effort. Local retailers are a great place to start, and the Internet is also helpful, where there are several reliable companies from which to choose.

NEWPORT–When was the last time you saw a member of the North Country basketball team dunk a ball?
In the three years since I have been covering the team I had yet to see it happen, but when I stopped by the NCU gym to chat with coach Brian Bonvechio, I finally saw it.
Freshman Kendrick Gray soared down the lane, went up, and came down with a thunderous one-handed slam, ushering in a new era and attitude of Falcon basketball.
NEWPORT–This year it is going to be about the doing the little things right for the North Country girl's basketball team.
"I emphasized to the girls that the little things are going to make a difference this season," said coach Christiane Brown. "Making our lay-ups, pushing the ball forward, not losing who we are guarding and finding a body to box out. The little things are going to be what puts us over the top this season.
"I want us to put points on the board, but it is going to be all of the things that lead up to that are what's important to me."
It is no secret that the many of the athletes that adorn the pages of local and statewide newspapers come from team-based sports.
Everyone loves football, soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball etc..., and those sports do help sell papers, mainly due to the sheer volume of players that can be featured from game-to-game.
On any given day, someone new can be the hero.
In individual sports, such as skiing and snowboarding, you can either be the hero or the goat, depending on what kind of day you have.
A few great runs, someone else misses a slalom, and you win.
The Northeast Sports Network, an online home for local sports in the lower region of the NEK since 2005, is making their way up Interstate 91, and will begin covering games at North Country, Lake Region and United Christian Academy high schools starting in 2013.
"We have covered North Country and Lake Region games before, and both schools were very receptive to the idea of having us cover them," said founding member Eric Berry.
Beginning with the winter sports season, NSN will feature twenty games, covering the three schools listed above in the next calendar year.
CAPE COD, MA–The Vermont Shamrocks U-16 girl's team won the Cape Cod Classic this past weekend, beating a host of teams from the Northeast Region of the United States, including the U-19 Shamrock team from Vermont.
They opened the tournament with a win over the Connecticut Northern Lights, who according to sources, featured a coaching staff a parental group that were beyond awful in their demeanor.
Former Shamrock Salley Hoer said hello to her old teammates in game two as Vermont faced off against the Cranston Reds.
The green and white won the contest decisively 4-1.
I have just about had it with Gary Bettman and the NHL, specifically Gary Bettman.
As hockey fans are now sitting through the third work stoppage under his regime, it is time to take a long, hard look at what Bettman has done for the NHL and the fans that are finding it increasingly hard to stay interested.
First; Let us look at a few of the good things that Gary has done for the league and more specifically for me, the fan.
1. The Winter Classic.
Old School hockey played on an outdoor rink.
Or as old school as the rules would allow, anyway.
NEWPORT–Scoring goals in soccer is all about accuracy. In most games that I have watched, there are more balls sent over and wide of the net as opposed to actual shots on goal.
That is why the statisticians keep a "shots at goal" stat.
For Derby Elementary soccer stand-out Emily Willis, things are very different.
Accuracy for her is the normal, not the exception.
Willis is two-time Vermont State Elk's Girl's Soccer Shoot champion, winning the 9-10 division last year and the 11-12 group this year.
NEWPORT–Sophomore Sam Brunnette will be the sole representative from North Country at this year's New England Regional Cross Country Meet at the Twin Brook Recreation Center in Cumberland, ME this weekend.
Brunnette is coming off of a season that his seen steady growth for the runner, beginning with his first race on the course at Primeau Farm.
"It was a pretty good season. I was going into the year hoping to do well and I started off with a PR (personal record), which was nice," said Brunnette.
The rest of the season, while not flashy, was effective.
ESSEX–As the buzzer sounded signaling the end of the Division II Northern Vermont Youth Football League title game, the cheers erupted from the stands, the bench, and the field, as the North Country Junior Falcons defeated the Winooski Spartans, becoming champions once again.
The team that began the year with an 0-2 record rebounded beautifully, taking ownership of their season and rolling their way through the competition to get the championship game and become the kings of Division II.
BURLINGTON–In all the years I have been watching field hockey, I have never seen Missisquoi Valley Union's team look scared.
On Wednesday afternoon, on the artificial turf at the UVM athletic complex, the North Country Falcons struck fear into the hearts of the mighty Thunderbirds.
MVU (12-3-1) went on to win the contest, 2-1, but it was a lot closer then they would have liked it to have been.
"I am very proud of these girls," said coach Chantelle Bouchard as she struggled to keep her emotions in check.
Missisquoi came out of the chute on fire.

(NEWS CENTER) -- A bipartisan group of Maine lawmakers called the "Gang of 11" says it has come up with a new plan to overhaul the state's tax code.
It would offer relief to Maine residents -- including cutting the income tax rate -- but it would also boost the sales tax, as well as the meals and lodging taxes, which would primarily target out-of-staters.
We talk with NEWS CENTER political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about whether this plan -- or parts of it -- have a chance at becoming a reality.
Also, Phil and Ethan tells us whether the Department of Education's new "A through F" grading system of Maine's schools is a good idea.

I was thinking about all the color choices we have and I'm wondering if there are any examples of what I would call a Black Hole Burst. That is, it would be light/brighter on the rim of the guitar and get darker in the center near the pups and bridge.
What would it look like?
Are there any in existence now?
Graduated blends from light to dark like a Tequila Sunrise Glow in reverse might look cool....

Submission Attachmate to retain Novell Unix copyrights-> 1
angry tapir writes: "Novell's copyrights for the Unix operating system will remain under Attachmate's control as part of the companies' pending merger, a Novell spokesman has revealed. The confirmation, which came in a terse message posted to Novell's website, seems to rule out questions of whether Unix assets are part of some 882 patents being sold to a Microsoft-led consortium, CPTN Holdings, as part of the deal."

YIELD: Makes 4 main-course servings
- 1 cup dry or semisweet white wine
- 1/2 pound pitted prunes
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons meat glaze (see below)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
In a small bowl, pour the wine over the prunes and let soak for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Trim the silver skin off the tenderloins. Cut the tenderloins into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Season the rounds on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a sauté pan just large enough to hold the rounds, heat the olive oil over high heat. When it smokes, add the pork rounds and brown, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they feel firm to the touch. If they start to get too brown, turn down the heat. Transfer the pork rounds to a warmed platter and set aside in a warm spot. Pour the fat out of the pan.
Drain the prunes, reserving the wine and prunes separately. Measure out 1/2 cup of the wine. Return the pan to high heat and add the 1/2 cup wine and the prunes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then stir in the meat glaze, if using. Boil until the wine is reduced by about half; if you have added the glaze, the sauce will develop a lightly syrupy consistency. Add the cream and boil until reduced to a light sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the pork rounds on warmed plates and spoon the sauce and prunes over the top.
Meat Glaze
Meat glaze is made by simmering down (reducing) broth until it has a syrupy consistency. Once you have this glaze on hand, you can use it for making sauces and giving body and flavor to braises and stews. You can reduce meat broth down to about one-fifteenth its original volume, or to a demi-glace, or you can reduce it again by half (about one-thirtieth its original volume) to get glace, or meat glaze. Commercial meat glaze, specifically the excellent More-than-Gourmet brand, is the equivalent of broth that has been reduced to about one-thirtieth of its original volume.
To make meat glaze, put 5 quarts beef broth in a pot on the stove top and bring to a gentle simmer. Move the pot slightly off center of the burner and adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently on one side (a bubble rises only every second or two). Simmer gently, frequently skimming off the fat and froth as they accumulate with a ladle, until the broth is reduced by about half. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a smaller pot. Return the broth to the stove top and continue reducing the same way. When it is again reduced by half, strain it into a smaller pot and continue reducing until you have about 2/3 cup. Transfer to a jar or plastic container, let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 months or freeze indefinitely. If you prefer to make and use demi-glace, only reduce the broth to 1 1/3 cups and use twice as much in recipes calling for meat glaze.
Many cookbooks recommend putting broth in ice-cube trays and freezing it for quick use in sauces and even soups. The problem with this idea is that you need bagfuls of cubes to give body to a sauce or to make a soup. Instead, follow the directions for making meat glaze, but reduce the broth only until it is about one-eighth its original volume. (If you start with about 5 quarts, you will have about 2 1/2 cups.) Pour the reduced broth into ice-cube trays and freeze. One cube is just about perfect for a sauce that yields four servings.

Hello, I'm from Springfield, Mo. I've got a 6 month old boy named Max. We got him when he was 7 weeks old from a Wal-Mart parking lot. I grew up around Pit's, as my parents had 5 up till the beginning of Dec. when their oldest Duke died. He was 15 and it was to the point where it was just cruel to keep him alive, he was in severe pain, could walk, and refused to eat.
Anyways, we have Max who is still working on potty training (should he have this broken by now?) we started at about 9 weeks. We have him trained on basic stuff like, sit, lay down, leave it (with anything, treats, toys, or our shoes.) and go to bed(his crate). He still pulls on the leash if my wife walking him, not as much with me. He gets extremely excited and pees on the floor when we come home or he meets someone new, which is something I'm told he will grow out of.
We have taken him to the dog parks and to our family dinners to interact with other dogs. He is very intimidated by any dogs other than my parents pitbulls. He gets very "bold" and loves to play with them.
The day we brought him home.
A month later
Last weekend.

MASSENA More than 100 children were helped through this years Salvation Army Christmas program.
We provided 107 children with gifts. That includes a main wish gift and a few small gifts, Lt. Cynthia L. Crowsen said.
The small gifts included items such as books, coloring books and stuffed animals, an outfit in the childs size and perhaps a winter coat, she said.
The gifts were provided for children 12 and younger, Lt. Crowsen said.
The Salvation Army also helped families with meals during the holidays, she said.
For individuals up to families with children, we had 89 families that received meals, she said.
Meals arent just a Christmas dinner either, according to the commander; the agency also provides families with something for breakfast and lunch on Christmas.
We know all the grocery stores are closed on Christmas Day so employees can enjoy Christmas with their families, Lt. Crowsen said.
Families that received the dinner knew they would have a ham, turkey or chicken, depending on the size of the family.
One of the auction items during the recent radiothon and toy drive was chicken or turkey, and she said the person who won the chickens donated them back to the Salvation Army to use in Christmas meals.
That helped immensely. That provided 10 chickens for families that we didnt have to purchase, she said.
It also provided less stress for the family.
They didnt have to worry about going and paying for it at the store, Lt. Crowsen said.
A school class also made quickbreads to add to the baskets.
That became the desserts for several of the Christmas baskets, she said.
People who received assistance were appreciative of the Salvation Armys efforts, she said.
We noticed that many families were very grateful and pleased with the things they received. They were excited that they didnt have to worry about what Christmas was going to be like. They knew they had toys to put under the tree and warm weather wear so they didnt have to wear sweat shirts to school, Lt. Crowsen said.
The effort went smoothly, she said, with families coming in with the paperwork and identification and volunteers working with them to help make a better Christmas.
The Salvation Armys efforts are boosted by its Red Kettle Drive, although it didnt meet its goal this year.
We know were down. We had approximately half the kettle stands and we reached approximately half the kettle goal. If we had the stands, we would have met it. We know the community gave what they could and were very grateful for the donations. Over the last several days, they reached deeper for the last bit of change. Every little bit helps, Lt. Crowsen said.
The campaign may be over for the year, but people can still make donations either through the mail or at the Salvation Armys office.
Well gladly accept any donations, she said.
The offices are closed until Wednesday, but the agency is still providing assistance even after Christmas thanks to donations.
Weve already helped some clients who need food to help them get through the week were closed, Lt. Crowsen said.
