WATERBURY–Harwood was the best team while Matt Morin of Lake Region was the top individual at the Division II sectionals on Wednesday.
Morin shot a 1 over 73 to earn the win.
The highlight of Morin's round was a 17th hole Eagle to pull ahead of Harwood's Brooks Curran who finished 2nd with a very nice 76.
Another Lake Region score of note was Carl Oberg's very respectable 88.
It was not quite good enough to send him to States as an individual but still a very good effort on his part.
Team Results were as follows:
Harwood 1st with a total of 326.
Lyndon Institute 2nd with total of 343.
ORLEANS–In their final regular season tune-up, the Lady Rangers dropped a tough one to the Richford Rockets 15-3.
"We spanked every ball we hit, but gave up seven unearned runs in two innings," said coach Matt Tinker. "We get behind by five or six runs and the girls start to push too hard and instead of getting anything we get nothing."
After a 1-2-3 top of the first, Lake Region jumped out to 1-0 lead as Kayla Royer singled and came around to score the game's first run.
ORLEANS–This just wasn't Lake Region's year.
The baseball Rangers finished off their season losing 6-3 to Richford on senior day last Thursday, ending 2012 in last place in Division II with a 2-13 record.
But the future looks bright for the team.
Lake Region has a core of young players, as well as some coming up the pipe, which could spark a turnaround in the blue and white's future.
"We had a freshman on the mound today, and there are some great young kids that are coming up, said coach Eric Degre. "This year we just didn't get the bounces, but the youth is there.
BARRE–In their final two regular season matches of the season, North Country's boys tennis team blanked Spaulding 7-0 in back-to-back matches to close out the season with a 9-1-1 record, 4th overall in Division I.
In the first match the Falcons went with their traditional line-up and won with a combined score of 56-7.
In the second match they juggled their line-up and still won easily with a 56-13 total score.
"Dave was his usual workman-like self, Thomas' serve was clicking and his was strong at the net, and Maoz simply overwhelmed his opponent," said coach Gary Atchinson.
ORLEANS–Matt Morin medaled for the fifth straight time this season, shooting a 34, but it was not enough as the Lyndon Institute and Harwood tied atop the leader board to win the match.
Other Lake Region boys scores were Devin Morley and Carl Oberg, each with a 49, and Derek Rodgers shot a 58.
In the girls side Celeste Lussier took second place shooting a 54.
Next up for the team is sectionals, scheduled for next Wednesday at 10:00 AM.
NEWPORT–It was senior day at Prouty Beach for the North Country girls tennis team. Members of the class of 2012, Kelsey O'Donnell, Carlie Diette and Rhiannon Rosamillia were honored by their coach before the game with framed pictures of themselves as a memento for their four years with the team.
The seniors were not the only ones that will be departing from the team, head coach and co-founder of the program Marie George has decided to hang up her coaching racquet after twenty-five years with the team.
NEWPORT–The home portion of a trying season came to a close for the Falcons on Tuesday.
Mount Mansfield came into North Country's ball yard and defeated the home team 15-3 on senior day.
The Cougars jumped out to leads of 1-0, 4-0, 9-0 and 13-0 before the Falcon offense got going in the fifth.
The Falcons plated three runs in the inning to cut the lead to ten, but Mount Mansfield added two more runs late to finalized the win.
NEWPORT–Things were looking promising for the North Country softball team on Tuesday afternoon.
After paying tribute to their departing seniors, junior Anna Bingham staked her team to a 1-0 lead in the first, going yard off of MMU's pitcher Colleen Davis.
In the second the Cougars decided to crash the party, scoring two runs in the frame to take the lead.
North Country continued the fight in the bottom of the frame with Mariah Roberts singling, scoring and knotting the contest at two.
MMU took back the lead in the third on Autumn Hallock's double that scored Sydney LeBourveau.
The Lake Region Rangers softball team was clearly in the giving mood Tuesday, as ten errors in the field combined with a handful of mental mistakes led to a 10-9 extra-inning loss to Enosburg.
While the defense did everything they could to give the contest away, the offense kept coming back, tying or taking the lead on three different occasions after falling behind.
Ranger starter Michelle Thibeault also did her part, striking out a career high 7 batters, but in the end could not overcome a porous Ranger defense that made a least one error in every inning of play.
The Wildcat's U-14 team was busy over this past weekend.
They had two games to battle, one was a victory and the other a defeat in score only. In the first game Milton came to Wildcat Country and dominated the hometown girls.
As much as the Wildcats battled they could not find the back of the net. Milton is a fast, skilled, and adept soccer team. They moved the ball with a combination of speed and agility that the Derby hadn't seen yet this season. Their passes were precise and they were aggressive going after the ball.

Tool Test: 13 Corded Power Drills
If you want to be successful as a natural, organic gardener — or grow a healthy, organic lawn — you may need to think differently about your soil.
Organisms in the soil have the same needs we do: to drink, breathe, eat, digest and excrete. When the soil is healthy, fed with natural materials and not compacted, those natural processes allow fertilization and growth to happen the way Mother Nature intended. Organic fertilizer is actually soil food that nourishes the organisms, whereas chemical fertilizer feeds plants directly — but much of the chemical fertilizer runs off into lakes, oceans, rivers and groundwater. Growing grasses and other plants in healthy, living soil will make the plants more drought-tolerant, disease-resistant and maintenance-free.
For a video illustrating the difference between chemical soil treatments and organic soil management, check out "Organic Lawn Management, The Overview," at safelawns.org/video.cfm.
Never spend money on any fertilizer or soil amendment for your lawn or garden without first consulting the results of a soil test.
These diagnostic results — available from virtually all Cooperative Extension offices across the U.S. — will tell you exactly how much N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus) or K (potassium), lime, sulphur or other nutrients to add. Too much nitrogen and phosphorus can harm oceans, lakes, rivers and drinking water. Other excess nutrients can weaken and even kill grass and other plants.
The bottom line, in other words, is to avoid guessing. That can be bad, for the environment, for your landscape and for your pocketbook.
You can buy at-home DIY soil test kits for as little as $0.35 per test at amazon.com or gardeners.com. Or, try this electronic soil tester ($18.95 at burpee.com).

Hi all,
I was happily using Windows 7 on my old IDE drive up until last night when I tried to install the OS on my new SATA drive. I go to the point where it asks me to 'Install Now'. However, it could not pick up my Sata drive.
Please Help!
Here are some details:
I removed all drives besides the SATA Drive
- itchap
Another option may be going to your bios and enabling IDE emulation on your sata drive, so it actually appears as a IDE hard drive (you would have to do the same thing with Windows XP if you wanted to install it on the same drive). Have a look at your hard drive settings in the bios, there should be an option to change its mode, mine gives me the following options: "uhci, raid, ide". Give that a go and see how it turns out

It's been 10 years since Dr. Tyner performed a triple bypass procedure for me. There are no words to say how much respect and gratitude I have for this compassionate and incredibly skilled surgeon. I can't imagine how many lives he has saved in his career, but when it came to saving mine, I know I couldn't have been in better hands.

Dr. Tyner saved my mother's life after she was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009. It was a very long, complicated surgery and recovery, but she is now cancer-free for four years. His bedside manner and explanations to the family were excellent. He always spent time speaking with my mother and the family.

Excellent Surgeon. Removed a very difficult to locate Parathyroid tumer located in my pulmonary window that three previous surgeons failed to locate and remove. Excellent bedside manner. Takes time to explain procedure in detail. Came highly recommended.

The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Donation Grant
The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Donation Grant was created to help build collections and bring books into the lives of children in latchkey, preschool programs, faith-based reading projects, homeless shelters, charter schools and underfunded libraries. An enduring message of the Committee's Public Awareness Campaign is that books and reading can only add value to children's lives if books are present with opportunities to read. The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee believes children lives must be saturated with books and reading opportunities. The Book Donation Grant addresses these objectives.
Though the grant is particularly interested in giving books to nontraditional institutions that provide both educational and custodial services to children and their families, under-funded libraries are welcome to apply.
Every year, in the process of choosing the Coretta Scott King Book Award winners and honor books, the Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) of the American Library Association receives multiple copies of approximately 60-100 titles by African American authors and illustrators, including a full set of the year's winning and honor titles.
Libraries (either school or public) or other child-serving agencies could make use of these valuable materials. Therefore, the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee has devised the following process for donating these materials to an agency with demonstrated need.
Applicants must demonstrate:
- Why the collection is needed in their community
- Why the collection is needed in their institution
- How acquiring the collection will help them better serve the children and youth of their community
- That the materials will be made freely available to children and youth without censorship
Applications will be judged based on:
- The degree of need in the community (15 points)
- The demonstrated need of the institution applying for the materials (15 points)
- The extent to which the materials will improve service to children and youth in the community (20 points)
- The extent to which the materials will be used to promote positive self-image of African American children and youth and/or broaden the worldview of children and youth (20 points)
- The clarity and effectiveness of the statement of need (10 points)
- The clarity and effectiveness of the plan to make the materials available in their community, including the demonstrated ability of the applicant agency to implement their proposal (20 points)
A committee appointed by the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Committee Chair will review the applications and based on total number of points, determine the recipient or recipients of the materials.
- Any agency that serves children or youth can apply for this award. This includes, but is not limited to schools, libraries, social service agencies, prisons or detention centers, churches or other religious organizations, and institutions of higher education.
- Complete applications must be received in the OLOS Office by January 31, 2015. Recipient(s) of the Book Donation will be announced by the end of February.
- All entries must include the cover sheet.
- The chief administrator of the agency submitting the application must sign the application.
- One paper copy of the application must be submitted to ALA by the above deadline.
- Shipping and handling charges are the responsibility of the institution selected to receive the materials.
- Materials must be claimed within one month of notification of the donation or they will be donated to the second choice of the award committee.
- Recipients agree to accept all materials offered.
- A selected institution may receive materials no more than once every five years.
Application Instructions
- Complete the application cover sheet. The chief administrator of the agency or institution must sign the application.
- In no more than four pages, provide the following information:
- Describe the community served by your agency or institution; include demographic statistics.
- Explain why this community needs a collection of books by African American authors and illustrators.
- Describe your agency or institution, including your current services, collections and materials budget.
- Explain why your agency or institution needs these materials.
- Explain how the materials will be made available to children and youth in your community. How will these materials improve service to children and youth?
- Explain how the materials will promote positive self-image of African American children and youth and/or broaden the worldview of children and youth.
- Mail one original copy of the complete application to:

First, I have to make sure that I have your right name this time, I have no idea where Becca came from. Secondly, you will have to forgive me for not being able to spell (I never could) nor could I use correct pronunciation. Anything wrong with your brain, I have. A tumor etc........ I find it amusing, because if something's wrong with my head, I have it.
Where the heck have you been??? Seems like you've been missing for days. It really hasn't been that long, I sound like your Mother. Write me please.
Love, Mom (a worried Mother)View Thread
That letter is to you. I don't know why I put Becca. So sorry! Chemo brain? Anyway, you can tell that it's to you.

I just wrote you, and it disappeared! I hate it when that happens!
Your house sounds GREAT! I'd love to see it. Can you take a picture? I live in a apt., do I'm limited to what I can decorate. But I decorate my porch, as much as possible!
Your house must be really scary with all that cool stuff. I love those purple lights and have them on my porch door. It's for storage, but it looks like a front door.
I live in Florida, where do you live? I'm betting, up North.(don't ask me why I said that) I don't know if I'll get the boobs or not, there is no time limit, so I have plenty of time to decide. Later
Luke (Nancy) Somebody on the other board asked me if I was the actor. Ha! very funnyView Thread
I'm 59, but when I write, I sound like I'm 13! I'm glad you had a good day Sunday, that's great. I'm a breast cancer survivor, with one breast. Ins. will pay for a boob job, but I don't know if I can go through all that pain. I don't know if it's worth it. As far as hormones go, I'm on estrogen blockers, and I have to be on them for 4more years, because of the cancer. Oh boy, you should see what it's done to me. I have hair (blond, at least) all over me! It's awful!
I love scary movies also. When I was a teenager, those were the only ones I went to. My sister would laugh at me and ask,"what's with you and horror movies?" Halloween is my second favorite holiday, after Christmas. I have all my scary decoration's hanging on my porch. Orange lights and a head on a string, that moves up & down, crying, and blinking her lit up eye's. Do you decorate for Halloween?
Talk to you guys later.

That movie last night was horrible. I'm so sorry about your neck, I know exactly how you feel. Mine kills me sitting up, lying on a pillow, and turning my head is almost impossible. My problem has something to do with my top vertebra on my spine.
Don't you just get sick & tired of not having a normal neck? I hate it. Oh well, we have to just live with it. My cancer's been gone for a year, so I'm o.k. Six month's ago they found a tumor in my brain. It's not suppose to be malignant, and it hasn't grown at all.(in 6mo) The doctor said, it will probably never grow. Anyway, I'm not worried about it.
Once you live through cancer, you notice every little thing. Like a mole on your arm, a lump on your collar bone(that's always been there) and you think EVERYTHING is cancer. It's not, we just imagine it is. I'm trying to stop doing that, because it will drive you crazy.
I'm so sorry for your step-mother, I can't imagine going through that 3times! I won't ever do it again. Never. My hair came back salt & pepper gray, and I love it! It's like a whole new me, the cancer girl with brown hair is gone. Then, I moved to a new apt., (cancer free) and I love it. I keep my hair in a pixie, because while it was growing back, I liked it short, and it's so easy. Can lonesome make you depressed? Can you be lonesome when you have your sister? I don't know why I'm depressed. When I 1st moved in here, I was so happy, I had a new life. About a mo. ago, I stopped leaving my apt. (that's the start of dep)
I'm very ashamed for feeling this way, when God did so many miracles for me. I feel like an ingrate. Sorry for jumping all over the place, talking about everything. I always talk like this, I can't help it.
What did you do last night? How's your pain today? I prayed that, you wouldn't hurt so much today. I guess I'll go get ready for Mass. I try and make myself leave the apt., for that. Talk to you later and tell your step-mom that I'll pray for her today.

I'm not bipolar, my brother is, so I've grown up learning all about it. I just got over breast cancer, and I'm becoming very depressed. I'm always strong during tough situation's, then I fall apart afterwards. I wonder why that is. Thanks again, for welcoming me.

I use to come here all the time, a few years ago. Then they changed the format, and I became my grandmother, and couldn't find my way around! It's a little easier now, then when they 1st did it.
I'm sorry for your pain. Do you mind me asking what causes it? I have bone pain all the time, due to my chemo. I'm through with the chemo, but it kind of sucked all the calcium out of my bones. I also have arthritis in my hips and spine.
I remember that nobody use to come here, on the wk. ends.(that's when I usually need to talk) I guess people are with there family's, and they get to be off work. Therefore, they have less pressure, and don't need us! (which is a good thing)
My name is Nancy, and I'm going to go watch this movie on HBO. It's about Alfred Hitchcock, and how he would chase all of his blond actress's, around the casting couch. Later.

I found the site, (as soon as I asked you, of course) Nobody was on, I think the last person was 5hrs. ago. Anyway, what are you doing up so late? I hardly ever sleep more then 3hrs. a night. It's kind of nice being up when everything is sooo quiet. Then it gets kind of lonesome. My boyfriend will be sleeping, and I'm in the living room, on the computer. He's not here tonight, he went home today, for football and for us to have a break. We have 2 apts., because that's the only way I could have stayed with him for 20yrs. I find that that's the secret for a long marriage, or just a long relationship.
People think I'm crazy for doing that. OH YES, I forgot for a second, I am. Blub! blub! Just kidding.

I'm pretty sure that I'm a coconut, and I'm not very computer savvy. So you need to tell me, how do I get to the cyber Halloween Party? Am I invited? I'm a scary witch, with a big nose, with a big wart on it, wearing a big tall black pointed hat! I wish that I could get some cyber candy, that taste like a Milky-way! Trick-or-Treat!

After herniating 3 discs in my lumbar spine, I felt lost as to how to control my pain. PT, spinal decompression, short-acting meds, MUA, all were of limited help. 2 different doctors wanted to slice me open and "hopefully fix the problem". I was referred to a pain specialist and my wife found Dr. Aberbach. 5 years later, I am proud to say I am still a patient and am nearly completely pain-free. He will only do injections if he feels it may help, and I have the last say as to any invasive procedures. He is very strict with the medications, but will adjust when necessary. I have witnessed him with several other patients and I cannot praise him enough for his wonderful manner and compassion. He truly cares about doing everything at his disposal to help you live a normal, pain-free life. His staff is top notch and extremely helpful. This man is one of the top specialists in his field. Thank you Dr. Aberbach.

Dr. Aberbach is an extremely caring and compassionate dr. I have been in his care for the past 4 years and he has given me back my life. His staff is always amazing and very friendly. He takes the time to diagnose your condition and is very careful with his treatment plans. He will not put you through any unnecessary procedures. You are in control of your treatment. He will prescribe the necessary meds to help with your pain and adjust as needed. However he is very strict with the meds. No early refills and no excuses! He was a great find. I recommend him to anyone looking to take their life back.

With 30 years experience working at nuclear plants in Illinois, Dean Sack of Peru, Ill., knows where to go when he has freshly pick sweet corn for a charity benefit sale: Exelon Nuclear facilities. That wise move resulted in a donation of more than $4,000
BYRON, Ill. – With 30 years experience working at nuclear plants in Illinois, Dean Sack of Peru, Ill., knows where to go when he has freshly pick sweet corn for a charity benefit sale: Exelon Nuclear facilities. That wise move resulted in a donation of more than $4,000 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure – an organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.
Employees at four Exelon Nuclear plants in Illinois recently made donations in exchange for a dozen ears of Sack's delicious sweet corn. Money flowed in from Byron Generating Station ($1,141), Braidwood Station ($756), Clinton Power Station ($1,519) and LaSalle County Station ($1,013).
"We're delighted to participate in this worthy cause, and get a taste of fresh home-grown sweet corn," said Byron Station site vice president Tim Tulon. "Supporting an event like this is a win-win proposition: a worthy charity gets a nice donation, and our employees are able to enjoy delicious sweet corn from the Illinois farm fields."
The Exelon Nuclear plants have a long history of community involvement. This includes everything from donations to Scout troops and local high schools to United Way and special fund-raising events such as fishing and basketball tournaments and that draw thousands of participants.
Sack's farm produced the corn and his daughter Rebecca, wife Jane and her sisters helped with sales at the Exelon plants. Jane Sack was joined by sisters Jeanne Bertrand, Jill Dentino and Cindy Stegmann. Along with the fundraising at the Exelon sites, the family members also sell the corn at the farm.
"This has grown into such a great event," said Dean Sack. "The generosity of coworkers and local residents is amazing."
The fundraiser came about due to his wife's involvement in the Susan G. Komen movement. She needed a way to raise money for the upcoming 60-mile Komen Race for the Cure, in which she is a participant.
More information on the Komen Race for the Cure can be found at www.the3day.org.

Do your children (or grandchildren) have nightmares about the Earth melting or exploding due to human-caused global warming? Do they believe they have no future because our planet is dying, the icecaps and glaciers are melting, the sea levels are rising, islands and coastal areas are disappearing, polar bears and children are drowning, plant and animal species are rapidly going extinct, and extreme weather will soon make human life unbearable, if not impossible?
Frightening, not Enlightening
Fear of an impending Climate Apocalypse apparently afflicts millions of children and adolescents worldwide, according to news stories in the mainstream media over the past few years (see here, here, here, and here).
Psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, and parents report that many children are depressed and fearful, have difficulty sleeping, and believe it is pointless to study or plan a career, since there is little hope for a livable future. As a result, many are experiencing serious psychological and physical health issues. This should not surprise anyone, considering that hundreds of millions of students have been captive audiences for Al Gore's "documentary," An Inconvenient Truth, (with many of them being subjected to multiple classroom showings) and other similar fare. After being continuously marinated in climate-change K-12 indoctrination in almost every subject area, it is little wonder that many kids suffer from depression and anxiety.
Classroom Child Abuse for a "Higher Cause"
However, many children turn their global-warming angst into activism, becoming little climate warriors who will work tirelessly to convert their peers, their parents, and local and national political leaders into supporters of "sustainable development." And this, clearly, is what the proponents of "climate change education" intend. Climate change education, they say, must be "transformative" and turn young children and adolescents into "climate change agents."
That is the message being delivered by officials of UNICEF, UNESCO, and other UN agencies and NGOs at the UN Climate Conference currently underway (November 26-December 7) in Doha, Qatar. Stephanie Hodge, education program specialist for UNICEF, was interviewed at Doha by Climate Change TV, a UN-funded television network dedicated exclusively to propaganda about the global warming and the supposed solutions to this "crisis" that can only be attained through UN-directed global action.

I've noticed over the past month or two that JJ Hardy has shown an improved approach at the plate. He was really being tormented with outside pitches for most of the year, and we all know he is primarily a pull hitter.
He's going to crush most pitch on the inside part of the plate, especially if you speed up his bat.
Thanks to Texas Leaguers(GREAT site by the way), we have the spray charts to look at. Check out the progresson of going opposite field over the past three weeks. It's quite impressive to see:
It's not super noticeable, but you can see that Hardy gradually started hitting the ball opposite field and registered 5 opposite field hits in the past 2 weeks. Can you ever remember a time that he did that? Take a look at this spray chart from the first week of the season:
Again, you can see that he mostly was pulling everything. Again, it's not exactly 100% noticeable just from these spray charts, but anyone that has been watching the games can tell that his approach has gotten much better at the plate. Mostly because he has laid off some outside pitches that were balls and that he has gone with some pitches on 2 strike counts instead of trying to pull them.

The toxins, including heavy metals and carcinogens, can attach easily to hair or clothing, and be passed on to children long after the actual smoke has cleared. We'll talk about the risks, and what can be done to avert them.

A proposed change in the irrigation water management program in Price met questions from councilmembers last week. The council reviewed the changes in a regularly scheduled meeting last Tuesday, April 12.
The city operates four ditch associations: Price Water Company, Price River Water Users Association, Pioneer Ditch No. 1 and Pioneer Ditch No. 2. There are 25 ditches in the system and approximately 157 water users in the system.
"It's become apparent that the city can't afford the program that it's been providing, and I speak of a $23,000 budget that's necessary to dedicate a full time city employee to[manage water]," said Gary Sonntag.
In previous years, the city has had a full time employee who has managed the opening and closing of ditches and the delivery of water to the city's users.
"As each water user's turn comes about they will be responsible for going and getting the water, following the water from the canal, down the ditch, to their water turn out point," states the new policy.
The policy further explains that the city will unlock, open and close gates during the regular work week, Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Councilmember Jeanne McEvoy asked whether the city would be able to deliver the necessary water in those hours and questioned if those hours would be practical for all users, some of whom work regular hours.
"The ditch will be opened during normal working hours and run sufficiently that everybody on the ditch has an opportunity to receive their water and then shut off during normal business hours. So it might run for 24 hours, or it might run for 30 hours, depending which ditch their on," explained mayor Joe Piccolo.
McEvoy also asked if it was unreasonable for the city to ask users, many of whom may be seniors with less-sure footing.
"Our perception is that the water user has a responsibility to search out the water in the ditch. If he needs to go all the way to the canal, that's what he may have to do. The water user is not going to have to open and shut the gate; the city will be doing that and will be providing water into the ditch. The user will need to go find the water. Hopefully it's right there. It could be next door. It could be up the street a block. If worse came to worse, they may have to go all the way to the canal to find it. If there's a blockage that person may have to eliminate the blockage," said Sonntag.
"Traditionally most of the irrigators I've talked to have go after their own water to some degree to find where it's at," said the mayor.
As the public works department was developing the policy, they evaluated the flows in each of the ditches. They looked at the amounts of water to be delivered to each user and the amount of time that would be required to deliver each allotment.
"We came up with a schedule where the ditches could be opened and closed throughout the week. A majority of the users don't have enough water to allow them to take water for 24 hours. There are some users that have so many acre-feet of water that it allows them to take it for more several days," said Sonntag.
He explained that the new policy has two purposes. First, it equalizes the water shares. Shares are equalized, and each user received the allotment paid for. Second, it provides the service of delivery at a lower cost to the city.
Sonntag also indicated that similar policies are already in effect in other communities in the area, and that this is not a new idea.
The turn fee was raised to $35 this year. This cost is expected to cover the wages of an employee to open and shut the gates. Sonntag explained that that fee may be adjusted in future years as the department monitors hours spent by city employees dealing with irrigation.
"You've got 157 people that were getting a $23,000 benefit from the rest of the taxpayers of Price City. I'm a fan of user fees, so if we want to [employ a full time watermaster], let's charge each one of the users the $150 or so it's going to cost a year to pay that salary." said Councilmember Richard Tatton.
The council passed the motion by Tatton that the policy be accepted with the addition of a watermaster to resolve disputes.
A public meeting regarding irrigation was scheduled for last night, April 18, at 6 p.m. Results of that meeting were unavailable at press time.

All of the advances in limited government that prepared the way for the founding of America came about as men in the various European nations groped for ways to configure government so as to please God and to agree with the God-given constraints of natural law.
The mightiest works of art and architecture, from the towering Gothic cathedrals of the high Middle Ages to the soaring music of Bach and Handel, were all the products of men seeking to glorify God by fulfilling the highest human impulses. The same could be said of most of the greatest inventors and scientists, at least until fairly recently.
There is a few historical precedents of a people so obsessed with themselves that they permit their government to decapitate their culture by removing religion from all but the most private domains.
Michael Newdow, with his incoherent claims of constitutional support for his crusade against the Pledge of Allegiance, is only the latest antireligious extremist granted a hearing by the modern American secularist establishment. His ludicrous claims-that "it's my parental right to keep the government off my child" (even as he insists on allowing the government to educate his child in public school), and "the Constitution says that the government isn't supposed to be infusing religion into our society"-don't deserve to be dignified by further comment here.
But unfortunately, many Americans now believe, at least in part, the outrageous fallacies and distortions about religion and government foisted on them by the media and the public schools, and dutifully retailed by the likes of Newdow. We are tragically, well on our way to becoming a post Christian civilization.
America, however, cannot deny God's supremacy and remain free. To drift away from our Christian moorings is to chart a course into bondage, both spiritual and political. The French Revolutionaries and others of their ilk began by erecting secular, even anti Christian states glorifying man, and ended up enslaving themselves under mob rule, guided and harnessed by tyrants and demagogues.
For us there can be no middle ground; we either mimic the mistakes of those who turned their backs on their Creator, or keep both ourselves and our government subservient to the supreme Law-giver, remaining, as our Founders hoped, one nation under God.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Friday brought new information in the case of an Auburn woman accused of killing her 2 and a half year old daughter.
A judge unsealed documents in the state's case against 24-year-old Leanna Norris. A police affidavit read that Norris confessed to authorities that she gave her daughter, Loh Grenda, shots of Benadryl to induce sleep, put duct tape over her nose and mouth and then her hand over the toddler's face suffocating her.
The affidavit also reads that Norris admitted she tried to kill herself after the murder but was unsuccessful.
Investigators say Grenda died sometime on June 23, 2013 in Newport. Her body was found in Norris' vehicle in Stetson the following day.
Norris has pleaded not guilty to murdering her daughter. She is being held at the Penobscot County Jail without bail. If found guilty she faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Due to recent bounces at Westridge mine, federal officials have ordered the company to cease underground operations immediately.
According to Amy Louviere of the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration, UtahAmerican Energy has requested an expedited hearing to appeal the company's mining plan changes mandated by the U.S. Department of Labor.
"Bounces took place on Jan. 24, 26 and 31," said Louviere via telephone interview on Wednesday. "No injuries were sustained during the first two bounces, but the third bounce on Jan. 31 did cause a reportable accident."
A bump, also known as a bounce or burst, is the sudden outburst of coal and rock that occur when stress causes a support pillar to rupture without warning. Coal and rock are sent flying with excessive force, states the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's website.
According to the MSHA official, UtahAmerican reported the events to the administration and were directed to change Westridge's mining plan.
The bounces took place in the same general area of the mine and MSHA's action centered around leaving more barriers between panels to provide increased stability.
The hearing will take place Feb. 12 or 13 at a court in Denver, Colo., said Louviere.
UtahAmerican is a subsidiary of Murray Energy Inc. The company's coal interests in Utah have included Crandall Canyon, Tower, Westridge and soon to open Lila Canyon mines.

RePost: John Tortorella Is Going To Listen To His Players When Camp Starts
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks spoke with Rangers coach John Tortorella who said that he has some concerns about how the lockout will impact the Rangers and their mental edge when training camp finally starts.
Tortorella told Brooks that he he knows his players are trying to keep that edge and stay in shape but worries that they lost their mindset during the lockout.
Torts said that when training camp does start it will be a collaborative effort between him and his players in terms of how hard to push and how best to approach preparing for the season.
"This isn't going to be me making decisions independently. We'll figure this out as a group. There's too much in front of us not to approach it that way."

Oldie but a goodie .... foot clutch and hand shift ....
Actually, I never found this particularly difficult first time round. I ad a couple of rocker clutch/tank shift 45s, a hand clutch/foot shift 45 with a Triumph box, a panhead with a suicide clutch and tank shifter and a shovel with a rocker clutch and police shifter on a ratchet top at various times.
My favourite was the rocker pedal and tank shifter. The police Shovelhead definitely benefitted from the disc brake at the front ( banana caliper )and I never really found it a problem that there was no straight-into-neutral, you don't ride a foot shift bike that way after all ( actually I once had a Royal Enfield with a "neutral finder" but you soon learnt to avoid using it! ) . The panhead also had a banana caliper on the front, which leads me to the conclusion that if you have a decent front brake the problems of riding a suicide clutch are mitigated, at any rate.
So as the foot-clutch 45 has got Glide forks and a banana caliper to fit its 1" steering-stem conversion, that shouldn't be a problem.
I know this is a whiskery old chestnut that tends to go round and round, but I'd be interested in people's views, thoughts and experiences?

The Framers of the United States Constitution sought to limit the tendency of chief executives to enhance their power and lead their peoples into war, by providing that Congress alone should have the right to declare war and that the President's treaty-making power should be shared with the Senate. James Madison remarked in a letter to William Cabell Rives: In no part of the Constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department.

In the mass of replies and counter-attacks written to answer Benjamin Stolberg's "Inside the CIO" there has been one significant omission. The pamphlet, as everyone knows, was serialized in the Scripps-Howard papers in January, in twelve installments. As its main point was that Communists were in control of many CIO unions and were disrupting others, and as it appeared while the CIO was being attacked as Communist in New Jersey and elsewhere, it has provoked answers out of proportion to its importance as a piece of labor journalism.
The speeches of Robert H. Jackson and Secretary Ickes, as well as the President's message to Congress and his Jackson Day address, have again brought to the foreground the problem of monopoly. It is now generally recognized that these utterances constitute an effective political counter-attack against those who have been blaming the administration for the depression. But what is the program of the President? Is he going to do anything about the situation except to make political capital out of it? The retort frequently made to Mr.

Video: Gorilla Born at Buffalo Zoo
BUFFALO, NY- It's a.. well, the folks at the Buffalo Zoo aren't sure yet but what they are sure of is a there's a new addition to the zoo's gorilla family.
The baby's mother, 12-year-old Lily and father, 26-year-old Koga welcomed their baby at 12:44 PM on Wednesday. Zoo officials say the first time mom has been taking great care of the newborn so keepers have not been able to get close enough to the baby to determine its gender, though they believe it's a girl.
Gorillas begin walking when they are between three and six months of age and are weaned around three years of age. The zoo says during this sensitive time, the gorillas will be given access to their interior holding areas should they desire more privacy. Because of that, they may not always be visible, but visitors are encouraged to check back regularly.
The baby western lowland gorilla will join the troop that also includes females Sydney and Amari.
The species is critically endangered due to loss of habitat in their native Africa as well as the bush meat trade.

POTSDAM For Alisa G. Woods, investigating the causes of autism is more than academic research it is a labor of love.
That is why Ms. Woods, a Clarkson University chemistry and biomolecular science professor, is using an unconventional method to raise money for research into the cause of autism.
Ms. Woods has turned to an Internet fundraising tool, RocketHub, to lobby the public for donations. She is trying to raise $5,500 for software to assist in her work, which could result in a diagnostic tool for the disease.
We decided we needed a jump-start, she said. I thought this was perfect, this was something we can do so we dont have to stop our work.
For Ms. Woods and her husband and research partner, Costel C. Darie, the cause hits close to home.
Were in an autism epidemic, and my son has autism, she said. My son really benefited from early treatment. Thats the key. Weve got to find a way to detect this earlier.
The research is based on finding a protein marker that causes autism.
Because Clarkson is not attached to an academic medical center, Ms. Woods said, it is difficult to persuade traditional funding agencies to underwrite her work.
We get reviews back that say were not in a major medical center, how can we do this, but we have all the major instruments, she said. We dont need to be in a major medical center to do that.
The stalled economy has tightened competition for a stagnant or shrinking pool of research money, which is why Ms. Woods is asking the public to open wallets for what she says is promising research.
Grant funding is at an all-time low for various organizations, she said. We put in application to many organizations that would normally fund this, but got turned down.
Saliva and blood samples are taken from autistic patients, some in Plattsburgh, and sent to the Clarkson laboratory, where they are analyzed using a method called mass spectrometry.
Ms. Woods is trying to raise the money for software to process the results.
It is very expensive because it is high-end software, she said. A mass spectrometer generates a huge amount of data. The software can do it in a few seconds and eliminates human error.
With the machine, Ms. Woods can continue the research and hopefully attract more grants.
We need to counteract the perception that Clarkson is an engineering school that cant do biomedical research, she said. We want the software so we can generate more data, so we can apply for grants and we can be self-sustaining.
When a protein biomarker is found for autism, it could have huge impact on the way the disease is diagnosed and treated, said Mrs. Woods.
The biomarkers can do a lot of other things: you can use them to understand what is causing autism. Brain proteins can be reflected in blood and saliva, she said. We may be able to understand sub-types of autism. Biomarkers could be used as a treatment monitoring strategy. You can measure the proteins and say whether a treatment is probably working. Theres a bunch of uses for them.
A breakthrough could help children in the north country and other under-served areas where conditions like autism can go undiagnosed late into childhood.
When I first came here, it was noticeable to me that people werent getting diagnosed, they didnt have access to information, the health care system here has a lot of holes in it, Ms. Woods said. A biological test would cut through that, if we created a standard that all kids get tested at a certain age.
This kind of test is already used for cystic fibrosis in infants. If we can find out what the markers are, we can just add them to the same screen, she said.
RocketHub is a Harlem-based Internet crowdfunding tool, allowing Mrs. Woods and her partners to raise money from around the world for a small commission fee.
So far, the campaign has more than 69 donors and raised $4,836.
The fundraiser ends on Saturday.

Protesters Blockade Apartment Eviction

Several hundred protesters arrived to demonstrate in support of Ali Gulbol, his wife and two sons, who face eviction from their apartment in Kreuzberg district despite the fact that they invested EUR 20,000 into their apartment and have paid all their outstanding rent, albeit behind schedule. The case is highlighting an ongoing controversy over gentrification in parts of Berlin, where rising housing prices are luring investors and forcing long-standing tenants out.

The Rundown: Helter Skelter
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
On Sunday, the Jets are supposed to play the Rams, but it's now Thursday and Saint Louis is a forgotten team in Florham Park while the Jets are falling into petty infighting, anonymous slagging of fellow teammates, recanting public statements and circling around and around and around the Jets now seemingly epic 2012 implosion.
We all know about the main comments by now. Shonn Greene (who is about to clarify what he said) was quoted in Yahoo! as saying that players are starting to wonder about a change. Also, The Daily News put together an article of mostly anonymous players bashing their teammate Tim Tebow as an illegitimate option as quarterback for this team.
The Daily News article revolved around only one attributed quote to Matt Slauson, but the centerpiece of the Daily News attack on Tim Tebow has said his comments were used improperly.
"I believe the context was completely unrelated to how it was used." – Matt Slauson on his quote in the Daily News hit job on Tebow. #nyj
— Dan Leberfeld (@jetswhispers) November 15, 2012
While Slauson might contest his use of his comments, others on the Jets are contesting Slauson's rights to even say them. Believe it or not, a fellow lineman slagged Slauson to Darren Sharper of NFL Network.
"I talked to one of the offensive linemen for the Jets and they said that throughout this season, Matt Slauson has graded out the worst of the offensive linemen that are playing," Sharper told Andrew Siciliano on NFLN. Sharper continued by saying that since Slauson doesn't have any Pro Bowls under his belt, his teammate might think he'd be best to be quiet.
Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Yesterday LaDainian Tomlinson said on XM that he thought Cro & Bart Scott might be two of the culprits in the bashing of Tebow, via the Post.
Former Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson said he thinks he knows who is ripping Tim Tebow. On his Sirius XM NFL Radio show yesterday, Tomlinson was read the quotes and said he believed cornerback Antonio Cromartie and linebacker Bart Scott were the ones quoted.
Then Costello in the same article got a current player to point a finger at another player.
A current Jets player said the belief around the team is that Cromartie was the player who called Tebow "terrible." Cromartie refused to speak to reporters at his locker, turning up the volume on his iPod dock when reporters approached.
Does this give you a sense of the wholesale collapse of this organization right now?
At least Rex Ryan puts the 'fun' in dysfunction …
When told about the accusations that Tomlinson made of Scott, Scott told reporters that he always puts his name on his comments and that it was absurd as just Tuesday he told reporters about sticking together as a team. But Scott said on the Jets, it always comes down to some coward who won't talk openly in the Jets locker room.
"I've been here four years," Scott said. "It's always an anonymous source. An anonymous source can be the janitor. An anonymous source can be the cable guy. An anonymous source can be the equipment guy. Anybody can be an anonymous source. If you don't tell them to put their name to it, what credibility do you have?
"I think the anonymous person is probably some smoke in the air or a fart off somebody's [butt]."
It's impossible for anyone to police all 53 players and players are going to say whatever they want as they are all (supposedly) grown-ass men. Beyond that, Scott is actually onto something from a sheer rules of journalism standpoint … but let's not expect the tabs to be as pure as the driven snow when it comes to anonymous sourcing of quotes. They are going to do what it takes to sell the broadsheets.
The utility or necessity of unattributed opinions in journalism and specifically sports journalism could be a semester long discussion of which I'm not going to get into now, but I do think that Newsday's Neil Best has a great point about anonymous opinions — not anonymous facts — and what warrants their use.
Policy that has worked well for me for 30 years: When someone offers a quote critical of others but without attribution, I say, "No thanks."
— Neil Best (@sportswatch) November 15, 2012
The problem is though — and I say this as a Jets fan who loves this team — that majority of the reporters who work on this beat are (for the most part) if they are being honest with themselves not necessarily looking to stay on this beat. They are looking to make a name for themselves so they can get off this beat. For a team that isn't riding to Super Bowls leaves them little chance to do it other than through getting sniping players and fomenting drama. All the same, the players aren't doing themselves any favors either and allowing themselves to be used in this way.

I think the topic can be properly defended from both sides of the issue, but I know my thoughts are not shared with a number of organization in baseball.
Has the industry gone soft when dealing with how to properly handel baseball pitchers?
The Orioles have not been spared the injury bug when it comes to pitchers, but a number of key major and minor league players deal with dead arms, slap tears, frayed labrum, strained ligaments, etc... I wonder if it is due to the lack of preperation for the daily grind that pitchers take every season.
I am a huge proponent of long tossing at lenghts of up to 300 ft or more. I want pitchers to box, work with tubes, weight train, rock climb, and any other practice that can place stress on the body that utilize muscles, tendons, and ligaments similar to pitching. Guys need to really tax themselves to meet the demand of being a pitcher. I am really starting to wonder if the training approaches are partial to blame with the rash of injuries taking place in a number of organizations.
Each pitcher is different and you can safely make an argument against the things I suggest, but this approach is not working efficiently if every season another top arm faces serious issues in the Orioles orgnaization. It might not be the time and place to change; they should at least be open to some of the ideas to think outside the box while conditioning the pitchers to meet the demands baseball places on thier arms.
