LINCOLN — A Town Council forum on the expansion of Twin River into table gaming drew some concerns over the proposal Thursday evening but overall proved a favorable showcase of the casino's revenue contributions to state and local budgets.
The plus side included projections that 100 of Twin River's 900 jobs are held by local residents and another 800 by Rhode Islanders overall, and also a forecast that the expansion will create 350 new in-house jobs along with 300 others in supporting businesses.
Among the concerns were complaints over traffic impacts on neighboring properties and a lack of state funding for the treatment of gambling addictions. A longtime Twin River opponent and candidate for General Assembly, John Cullen, also lodged an objection to the proposal during his time at the microphone.
The forum in Town Council Chambers at Lincoln Town Hall included a presentation of Twin River's expansion plan by its chairman, John Taylor, and also a question-and-answer period with public comment.
About 100 people attended the session including local residents and officials and a number of Twin River employees and/or supporters.
Town Council President Keith E Macksoud said the forum was called by the panel to provide local taxpayers with "factual information so that they can make informed decsions on the Nov. 6 ballot questions regarding the expansion of gambling in the state of Rhode Island and more specifically in the town of Lincoln."
After presenting the evening's format, Macksoud said the council had agreed not to take a position on the issue and to instead "gather and share information and an effort to assist residents in making informed decisions."

often, you have to wait pretty long (5min) until someone joins your Duel Server.
It would be nice to see the spawnpoints in Warmup like in old CPMA.
Or just do a green quake sign/Point for it
Or spawning a not moving Keel/Bot who needs to get found and "fragged".
So he respawns somewhere else.
Maybe create a console command for it, to switch from off to on.
Second thing I would like to suggest,
how about a working timer for warmup? now its only 0:00 when you pickup anything.
Would be nice to have a timer when server is empty, so you could practice timing when youre alone and waiting.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Did You Know... Anyone
Posted on February 12, 2008For the past few nights, Anyone's frontman Riz Story has been jamming at Janes Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins' house. Why? Riz will be doing the guitar duties for a show this Friday 25 Jan at Anaheim's House Of Blues in California. The band which Riz is filling in for happens to be a new project of Tilo (formerly of Methods Of Mayhem). For this one night affair, the band will be playing directly prior to the main draw (hed)pe. Riz, who will be playing guitar, will be accompanied by Stephen Perkins on drums, Disturbed's Fuzz on bass, and Tilo on vocal duties. Bet you wish you lived in California. We do.
Did you know the band independently released a live show of theirs called LIVE ACID - A Live Recording of the band from the ACID PARTY "TogethermenT", held at an undisclosed warehouse in Costa Mesa, California? It's true. As for where to get it? I can only suggest trying ebay or gemm.com. Hey, what is not widely known is that they also put out another release (also independently). It's called "Rats Live On No Evil Star". It actually has some very cool shit on it. Again, hard to find. It's True! Actually, a couple tracks on it were re-recorded for their Roadrunner debut which is out now (go buy it if you haven't got it). Interesting fact - "Rats Live On No Evil Star" is spelled the same forward AND backward. It's true!
Metal Hammer has engaged vocalist Riz Story for a 6 month run of his own celebrity column called "Through The Keyhole With Riz Story". Each piece will be a four page feature, most likely starting with the March issue. Basically, this is a feature wherein Metal Hammer takes Riz to the homes of other rock celebs for a visit. Pics and words from the visit go in the mag - and you may well see some of the video Riz shoots up here on this site. Content for three of the upcoming features was done earlier this week - with LIT, (hed)pe, and of course, Anyone. Next Wednesday it's off to Beverly Hills to pay Ozzy himself a visit. Epic. Though the remaining bands for this feature are not yet in stone, Metallica, Korn, and System Of A Down have all been mentioned as possibilities to be paid visits next week before Anyone heads out on their first trek of the US.
Also Bizarre magazine, recently had a contest wherein the question had to do with Riz Story's producing of an upcoming Vivid Video release, Temple Of Gomorrah. (we trust you are all educated enough to know what Vivid Video is all about) Did You Know? Anyone makes an appearance in this upcoming Vivid Video release, jamming out to an original score they wrote for the movie during its climactic scene - an orgy, nonetheless. It's true.
"The band have been gearing up for the AMERICAN release of the album. The band plans to stage an elaborate production including a MAXIMUM ACID light show that is set to stun the audience. A tour of the states is set for February. Riz Story is busy assembling "LIVE ACID" the videos. . . a video collection of Live videos taken from the film "TOGETHERMENT". The video will also include rarities like the bands first ever video and rare interviews. Also production on Riz Story's first feature film "GOLOKA" continues in his own Togetherment studios (located at his home "The ANYONE DEN"). A major film co. has expressed interest in producing the film on a large scale for worldwide theatrical release. What began as an independent film may turn into a 10 million dollar major production! And as always new sounds continue to emerge from the trio. The new material is said to be Very MAXIMUM ACID indeed . . . Heavier and more hallucinogenic than ever !!!!" Yes, that was indeed an update straight from the man himself, Riz Story. Watch this space for more info...

z/VSE is designed to protect and leverage customer investments in z/VSE information assets. It brings the value of innovative IBM z Systems and IBM Storage technology to z/VSE clients.
Latest release: z/VSE Version 5.2 - Overview
z/VSE V5.2 is the newest release of z/VSE and is intended to be the base for future z/VSE enhancements.
This ongoing evolution of z/VSE, together with z/VSE's support of the newest IBM z Systems and IBM Storage technology, is designed to help clients protect their investments in z/VSE, grow their workloads, or consolidate their systems. It demonstrates again IBM's commitment to z/VSE clients.
With the exploitation of z/VSE's 64-bit virtual support, z/VSE V5.2 builds upon the capabilities that were introduced with z/VSE V4 (z/Architecture mode, 64-bit real addressing, more tasks, virtual storage constraint relief) and continued with z/VSE V5.1 (64-bit virtual addressing).
z/VSE V5.2 continues the focus on ease of use, scalability, networking, security, and connectivity between z/VSE and Linux on z Systems.
Enhancements for z/VSE V5.2 include:
- Support for innovative IBM zEnterprise EC12 and IBM zEnterprise BC12 technology
- Configurable Crypto Express4S feature
- OSA-Express5S features
- Support for enhanced IBM System Storage options
- Systems Managed Encryption with IBM System Storage TS1140
- IBM System Storage TS7700 Virtualization Engine Release 3.1
- IBM System Storage DS8870 Release 7.2 (ECKD and FCP-attached SCSI disks)
- Upgrade of the z/VSE support for the Parallel Access Volume (PAV) feature
- Ability to use FCP-attached SCSI disks with:
- IBM Storwize V5000 Midrange Disk
- IBM Storwize V3700 Entry Disk
- Virtual disk in 64-bit virtual storage:
z/VSE V5.2 is designed to transparently create a virtual disk (VDISK) in 64-bit virtual storage. This overcomes the 2 GB limitation when creating a VDISK in a data space. It may help clients who want to keep more data in memory to benefit from the increased processor storage and processor speed available with the latest IBM zEnterprise servers.
- Networking, security, and connector enhancements
- IPv6 support added to selected z/VSE components
- "Enhanced" CICS Listener support
- Further Basic Security Manager (BSM) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) functions
- Integration of OpenSSL release 1.0.le
- Literal encoding style for z/VSE web services
- Ease of use functionality
- Tapeless initial installation:
Clients who use a tape for initial installation only, may no longer be forced to include a physical tape device into the z/VSE configuration. z/VSE V5.2 is designed to create an installation disk from a z/VSE DVD image or Internet delivery and then perform initial installation using this installation disk. z/VSE V5.2 fulfills the statement of direction in Software Announcement 213-090, dated April 02, 2013.
- Stacking tape support:
Stacking tape support may ease the migration of "older" tapes. It exploits the capacity of tape volumes such as TS1140 and thus may reduce costs.
- Tapeless initial installation:
z/VSE V5 supports IBM z Systems:
- IBM z13
- IBM zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12)
- IBM zEnterprise BC12 (zBC12)
- IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196)
- IBM zEnterprise 114 (z114)
- IBM System z10 Enterprise Class (z10 EC) and IBM System z10 Business Class (z10 BC)
- IBM System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC) and IBM System z9 Business Class (z9 BC)
z/VSE Version 5 executes in z/Architecture mode only. z/VSE Version 5 can run in logical partition (LPAR) mode, or as a guest in any supported z/VM release. z/VSE V5.2 is the preferred follow-on VSE product for clients with z/VSE V5.1, z/VSE V4, z/VSE V3, or VSE/ESA installed. Clients may choose to use the Fast Service Upgrade (FSU) process when migrating from z/VSE V4.3 or z/VSE V5.1.
z/VSE V5.2 offers Midrange Workload License Charge (MWLC) pricing metrics, including a subcapacity option, for zEnterprise EC12, zEnterprise 196, System z10, and System z9 servers. IBM offers Advanced Entry Workload License Charge (AEWLC) pricing metrics, including a subcapacity option, for the zBC12 and z114 servers. The entry models (capacity setting A01) of the zBC12, z114, z10 BC, and z9 BC will be priced using zSeries Entry Charge (zELC) for their IBM monthly license charge software.
z/VSE V5.2 is generally available since April 25, 2014.
z/VSE Components
The z/VSE base package consist of the following components and products:
- z/VSE 5.2 (System Package) 5609-ZV5
- VSE Central functions 9.2.0 5686-CF9

Children may travel unaccompanied on certain routes depending on their age and provided the child does not require additional care such as toileting, feeding or administering of medicine.
Who is an unaccompanied minor?
Children aged 5 to 11 travelling without an adult 15 years or older are considered "unaccompanied minors". Any child under the age of 5 years old must travel with an adult 15 years or older. The child's age will determine if, and where, they are able to travel unaccompanied. Please refer to the Unaccompanied Minors Age Limits chart for permitted routes based on your child's age on the date of commencement of travel.
Children travelling without an adult 15 years or older must meet the unaccompanied minors conditions.
Medical conditions & disabilities
If your child has a medical condition that may require clearance to travel, or be affected by the flight, please seek medical advice and contact our Paxcare Team. Our staff will do all they can to ensure a safe and comfortable journey however they cannot administer medication or be responsible for ensuring your child takes medication at a specific time. If your child has a disability we will do all we can to enable them to travel unaccompanied; however this isn't possible in all situations. To avoid disappointment on the day of travel please ensure you contact our Paxcare Team to discuss your child's requirements and the assistance that Air New Zealand staff are able to provide - email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone +64 9 255 7757.
For their safety children travelling in a different cabin to their caregiver are required to be classified as unaccompanied minors.
Permitted flights
Air New Zealand only permits Unaccompanied Minors on Air New Zealand ticketed and operated flights. The maximum connection time for Unaccompanied Minors is two hours between domestic flights and three hours between flights involving an international sector. Please refer to the Unaccompanied Minors Age Limits chart for permitted Air New Zealand routes, which are based on your child's age on the date of commencement of travel. When a journey involves travel on another carrier (including Air New Zealand codeshare flights), that operating carrier's Unaccompanied Minor policy will apply. You must contact that carrier for a copy of their policy. If your child is connecting to or from another carrier they will only be accepted if a parent or guardian is available to deliver and receive the child at both ends of the Air New Zealand flight. The child must be checked in for only the Air New Zealand flight, claim baggage and clear Customs (if applicable) and be handed over to the parent/guardian to check in for the next flight. The parent/guardian will need to remain in the intermediary airport until after the aircraft departs. In the case of delays or flight cancellations, the parent/guardian is responsible for the Unaccompanied Minor's care. In the instance of connecting flights from other airlines, the relevant airline's allocated staff member may be accepted as the child's guardian and is responsible for the Unaccompanied Minor's care.
Booking / pricing
Travel as an Unaccompanied Minor is charged at the best available adult fare. Unaccompanied Minors have the same entitlements on board as adult fares based on the fare purchased. Unaccompanied Minor travel can be booked online or if you prefer our Contact Centre is able to help with your travel arrangements (service fees may apply).
At this time unaccompanied minors cannot be booked via Air New Zealand's mobile booking site.
Trans-Tasman and Pacific Island flights
Please note that movies, meals and drinks are only provided when The Works or Works Deluxe products are purchased.
Given the duration of some flights, Air New Zealand strongly recommends either The Works or Works Deluxe products are purchased for Unaccompanied Minors. If opting for Seat or Seat + Bag products for your child's travel you may wish to consider purchasing vouchers at the airport so they can purchase snacks and drinks from the Inflight Bites Menu. Cash is not accepted for purchases onboard.
Completing the form
Please ensure that before checking in, the Unaccompanied Minor Form is completed and that the names and contact information for the people delivering and receiving your child at the airport match the information provided during the booking process. Please note that each person delivering or receiving your child will be required to present photo ID.
A separate Unaccompanied Minor Form is required for each one way journey, if you prefer you can complete a form for the return flight and have your child carry it with them. If there are changes to the people delivering or receiving your child we must be informed. Please let us know by contacting our Contact Centre so that the details can be updated in our reservations system. Failure to do this may result in your child not being accepted for travel. Please note that for your child's safety changes can only be made by the person who made the original booking.
On the day of travel
Airports are busy places, we ask that you help ease any apprehension your child has about travelling alone by explaining the following processes prior to arriving at the airport. We also ask that your child understands that they must follow the instructions given to them by our ground team and cabin crew, which are for your child's safety and best interests.
If travelling internationally, don't forget your child's passport, other travel documents and your own photo ID.
Please allow extra time to complete check-in formalities as staff will need to check the Unaccompanied Minor Form(s) and issue your child a lanyard which is required to be worn throughout their journey so our staff can easily identify them. Where kiosk check-in is available you are welcome to use them, however, no boarding pass will be issued until the Unaccompanied Minor Form(s) has been checked at the Special Handling Desk. Although the kiosk will print bag tags (if applicable) please do not place your child's bag on the bag belt until after you have completed formalities at the Special Handling Desk. At most of our larger airports a Special Handling Desk is located close to the check-in areas, here the Unaccompanied Minor Form is checked and you will be required to sign the declaration at the bottom of the form. The lanyard is issued at this time to the young traveller. Where kiosk check-in is not available please use any one the available check-in counters. The check-in agent will complete all formalities with you. Please understand that Air New Zealand cannot undertake to safeguard, nor will Air New Zealand be held responsible, for any valuables your child may be carrying on their person or in their baggage.
Saying goodbye
At some domestic airports, and all international airports, your child will be escorted by our ground team through security and to the departure gate where they will hand over your child to the cabin crew for their flight. There will be times when your child will wait in a dedicated "unaccompanied minor room" until boarding; in this instance they will still be in the care of our team. Once the ground team member arrives to escort your child they will let you know when they are ready to go, giving you the chance to say goodbye. At this point you will be asked to sign and give our team member the Unaccompanied Minor Form(s). This form will remain in the possession of our staff at all times. Depending on the airport, you may have the opportunity to escort your child through security and all the way to the departure gate. This allows you to be with your child until the last minute before boarding. In these instances you will sign the Unaccompanied Minor Form(s) at the gate and give it to our staff. Please note that the person seeing your child off must remain in the airport until after the aircraft has departed. Should there be an extended delay it is likely your child will be returned to the parent/guardian seeing them off.
Once cabin crew have completed their pre-flight safety checks they will be ready for your child to board the aircraft. Your child will be shown to their seat and given information on safety while on board. Their Unaccompanied Minor Form and passport, where applicable, will be retained by cabin crew.
During the flight
Where possible your child will be seated in the vicinity of crew work areas and with a vacant seat at the end of the row, this enables cabin crew to have your child in their sight, and if needed to be able to be seated next to them. For their safety we suggest that all passengers keep their seat belt fastened throughout the flight, even when the seatbelt sign is switched off. While cabin crew will activate the parental lock on individual seat back inflight entertainment units (if applicable), Air New Zealand can not be held responsible for any restricted content your child may view via unauthorised access to another passenger's screen or main screen entertainment.
On landing your child will be instructed to remain seated until the cabin crew collect them, this is to enable a smooth hand over to our ground team, who will escort your child through the arrivals process.
On international flights where meals are served you can request to have a child meal or choose a meal for your child from our special meal list, which is based on diet or religious requirements. This should be done at the time of booking but can also be requested via your original booking agent or our Contact Centre up to the day before travel. If no request is made then a standard meal will be offered where the fare purchased includes a meal.
Please note that for flights where the Seats to Suit product is offered movies, meals and drinks are only provided when The Works or Works Deluxe products are purchased. If opting for Seat or Seat + Bag products for your child's travel you may wish to consider purchasing vouchers at the airport so they can purchase snacks and drinks from the Inflight Bites Menu. Cash is not accepted for purchases onboard.
You are also welcome to supply your child with a snack box for the flight, however please be mindful that the liquids, aerosols and gels restrictions that apply to international flights include drinks and other liquids like yogurt. In addition, when flying internationally any uneaten food other than pre-packaged items such as confectionary food must be disposed of upon landing. Failure to do so may result in local authorities imposing fines or travel restrictions.
On arrival
We know your child will be excited about finally arriving at their destination and wanting to see the people who are there to meet them. However, it's important that your child knows to stay with the Air New Zealand ground team member who is escorting them, even when they can see the person meeting them. Ground team members will meet the aircraft and escort your child through to the arrivals area and where applicable through baggage collection, customs and immigration. The Unaccompanied Minor Form and passport, where applicable, is retained by our ground team; once the Unaccompanied Minor Form has been signed and ID presented by the receiving adult the child will be released into their care and travel documents returned (if applicable). The Unaccompanied Minor Form stays in Air New Zealand's possession and the lanyard must be returned at this time.
Delays and disrupts
Despite our very best intentions and efforts, there are many factors that can contribute to us not departing or arriving on time, rest assured that regardless of the reason for the delay we have processes in place to ensure your child is looked after until they arrive at their destination. It's important that both the delivering and receiving parent/guardian can be contacted at any time throughout the planned journey time, we suggest cellphone numbers be provided. Where a flight delay is such that it will cause undue concern or impact, or the flight is diverted to an alternative airport, our ground team will call to let you know what's happening. During the delay we will provide care for your child and ensure that they have access to food in accordance with our standard delay protocols for all other passengers. If an overnight stay is required we will provide accommodation and a female team member to stay with your child throughout the night. There may be times where, due to diversions or inclement weather, road transport is offered. When this is the case we will call to discuss this with you prior to your child departing on the transport provided. If at any time you want to know the status of your child's flight you can check flight information online. Alternatively you can phone our Contact Centre.

OGDENSBURG State police said they found an Ogdensburg man hiding in the bushes in a city neighborhood after he fled from troopers following a traffic stop Monday night in the town of Oswegatchie.
State police said they attempted to stop Thadcher C. Adams, 19, who was driving a blue 1997 Chevrolet when he failed to signal for a turn at McIlwee and Irish Settlement roads in Oswegatchie shortly after 11 p.m. Instead of stopping, Mr. Adams drove away, troopers said.
Troopers pursued him for about 7 miles, along Irish Settlement Road and Route 68 into Ogdensburg, where he eventually abandoned his car in the 400 block of Proctor Avenue after striking a snowbank.
Mr. Adams then ran off, state police said. After a short search, officers found him hiding in some bushes about two blocks away on Anthony Street, where he was arrested at 11:45 p.m.
Troopers said they believed Mr. Adams had a passenger in the car, but that person was not located when they found the driver. They were not able to obtain further information from Mr. Adams, who troopers said was not cooperative when questioned.
He also refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test, troopers said.
He was charged with third-degree fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle, reckless driving, first-offense driving while intoxicated and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Following arraignment in Morristown Town Court, he was committed to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, in lieu of $15,000 bail or $30,000 bond. He is to appear today in Ogdensburg City Court to answer the charges.

For the Carbon High Dinos Football team, it's a matter of streaks as one ended while another one continues on.
The Dinos broke a 12 quarter scoreless streak with a touchdown in the third quarter but it was not enough as the North Sanpete Hawks scored early and often in a 46-8 loss last Friday which sent the Dinos to their fifth straight loss.
The Hawks jumped out to a 26-0 lead at the half and never looked back.
The Dinos scored on a 34-yard TD catch as Zac Hathaway broke away from the defense and caught a pass from Dakota Cisneros for a score. Hathaway also caught a two-point conversion.
For the Dinos, wins in Region 12 play have proven to be quite difficult. Since regions were realigned in 2011, the Dinos are winless in Region 12 play (0-8).
The Dinos will look to end that streak as they host Payson on Friday night at 7 p.m. in their final home game of the 2012 season.

42 U.S. Code § 6303 - Enforcement
(a) In general
Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, any person who knowingly violates any provision of section 6302 of this title shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than $100 for each violation. Such penalties shall be assessed by the Commission, except that penalties for violations of section 6302 (a)(3) of this title which relate to requirements prescribed by the Secretary, violations of section 6302 (a)(4) of this title which relate to requests of the Secretary under section 6296 (b)(2) of this title, or violations of section 6302 (a)(5) of this title shall be assessed by the Secretary. Civil penalties assessed under this part may be compromised by the agency or officer authorized to assess the penalty, taking into account the nature and degree of the violation and the impact of the penalty upon a particular respondent. Each violation of paragraph (1), (2), or (5) of section 6302 (a) of this title shall constitute a separate violation with respect to each covered product, and each day of violation of section 6302 (a)(3) or (4) of this title shall constitute a separate violation.
(b) "Knowingly" defined
As used in subsection (a) of this section, the term "knowingly" means
(2) the presumed having of knowledge deemed to be possessed by a reasonable man who acts in the circumstances, including knowledge obtainable upon the exercise of due care.
(c) Special rule
It shall be an unfair or deceptive act or practice in or affecting commerce (within the meaning of section 45 (a)(1) of title 15) for any person to violate section 6293 (c) of this title, except to the extent that such violation is prohibited under the provisions of section 6302 (a)(1) of this title, in which case such provisions shall apply.
(d) Procedure for assessing penalty
(1) Before issuing an order assessing a civil penalty against any person under this section, the Secretary shall provide to such person notice of the proposed penalty. Such notice shall inform such person of his opportunity to elect in writing within 30 days after the date of receipt of such notice to have the procedures of paragraph (3) (in lieu of those of paragraph (2)) apply with respect to such assessment.
(A) Unless an election is made within 30 calendar days after receipt of notice under paragraph (1) to have paragraph (3) apply with respect to such penalty, the Secretary shall assess the penalty, by order, after a determination of violation has been made on the record after an opportunity for an agency hearing pursuant to section 554 of title 5 before an administrative law judge appointed under section 3105 of such title 5. Such assessment order shall include the administrative law judge's findings and the basis for such assessment.
(B) Any person against whom a penalty is assessed under this paragraph may, within 60 calendar days after the date of the order of the Secretary assessing such penalty, institute an action in the United States court of appeals for the appropriate judicial circuit for judicial review of such order in accordance with chapter 7 of title 5. The court shall have jurisdiction to enter a judgment affirming, modifying, or setting aside in whole or in part, the order of the Secretary, or the court may remand the proceeding to the Secretary for such further action as the court may direct.
(A) In the case of any civil penalty with respect to which the procedures of this paragraph have been elected, the Secretary shall promptly assess such penalty, by order, after the date of the receipt of the notice under paragraph (1) of the proposed penalty.
(B) If the civil penalty has not been paid within 60 calendar days after the assessment order has been made under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall institute an action in the appropriate district court of the United States for an order affirming the assessment of the civil penalty. The court shall have authority to review de novo the law and the facts involved, and shall have jurisdiction to enter a judgment enforcing, modifying, and enforcing as so modified, or setting aside in whole or in part, such assessment.
(4) If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty after it has become a final and unappealable order under paragraph (2), or after the appropriate district court has entered final judgment in favor of the Secretary under paragraph (3), the Secretary shall institute an action to recover the amount of such penalty in any appropriate district court of the United States. In such action, the validity and appropriateness of such final assessment order or judgment shall not be subject to review.
(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of title 28 or section 7192 (c) of this title, the Secretary shall be represented by the general counsel of the Department of Energy (or any attorney or attorneys within the Department of Energy designated by the Secretary) who shall supervise, conduct, and argue any civil litigation to which paragraph (3) of this subsection applies (including any related collection action under paragraph (4)) in a court of the United States or in any other court, except the Supreme Court. However, the Secretary or the general counsel shall consult with the Attorney General concerning such litigation, and the Attorney General shall provide, on request, such assistance in the conduct of such litigation as may be appropriate.
(B) Subject to the provisions of section 7192 (c) of this title, the Secretary shall be represented by the Attorney General, or the Solicitor General, as appropriate, in actions under this subsection, except to the extent provided in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph.
(6) For purposes of applying the preceding provisions of this subsection in the case of the assessment of a penalty by the Commission for a violation of paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 6302 of this title, references in such provisions to "Secretary" and "Department of Energy" shall be considered to be references to the "Commission".

(3) Use optional

[1] So in original. Probably should be "this".

2010—Pub. L. 111–203, § 1100A(2), (10), substituted "Bureau" for "Board", "the Bureau" for "the Board", and "The Bureau" for "The Board " wherever appearing.

Amendment by Pub. L. 111–203effective on the designated transfer date, see section 1100H ofPub. L. 111–203, set out as a note under section 552a of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees.
Effective Date
Section 2605(b)(2) of div. A of Pub. L. 104–208provided that:
"(A) In general.—Any regulation of the Board, or any amendment or interpretation of any regulation of the Board issued pursuant to section 187 of the Truth in Lending Act [15 U.S.C. 1667f] (as added by paragraph (1) of this subsection), shall become effective on the first October 1 that follows the date of promulgation of that regulation, amendment, or interpretation by not less than 6 months.
"(B) Longer period.—The Board may, at the discretion of the Board, extend the time period referred to in subparagraph (A) in accordance with subparagraph (C), to permit lessors to adjust their disclosure forms to accommodate the requirements of section 127 [187] of the Truth in Lending Act (as added by paragraph (1) of this subsection).

Section 2605(a) of div. A of Pub. L. 104–208provided that:

"(A) competition among the various financial institutions and other firms engaged in the business of consumer leasing is greatest when there is informed use of leasing;
"(B) the informed use of leasing results from an awareness of the cost of leasing by consumers; and
"(C) there has been a continued trend toward leasing automobiles and other durable goods for consumer use as an alternative to installment credit sales and that leasing product advances have occurred such that lessors have been unable to provide consistent industry-wide disclosures to fully account for the competitive progress that has occurred.
"(2) Purposes.—The purposes of this section are—
"(A) to assure a simple, meaningful disclosure of leasing terms so that the consumer will be able to compare more readily the various leasing terms available to the consumer and avoid the uninformed use of leasing, and to protect the consumer against inaccurate and unfair leasing practices;
"(B) to provide for adequate cost disclosures that reflect the marketplace without impairing competition and the development of new leasing products; and
"(C) to provide the Board with the regulatory authority to assure a simplified, meaningful definition and disclosure of the terms of certain leases of personal property for personal, family, or household purposes so as to—
"(i) enable the lessee to compare more readily the various lease terms available to the lessee;
"(ii) enable comparison of lease terms with credit terms, as appropriate; and
"(iii) assure meaningful and accurate disclosures of lease terms in advertisements."

text: The National Park Service hosted media outlets today, giving them access to areas of Newfound Gap road that are still closed to the public due to the ongoing reconstruction efforts to repair the extensive damage done during a recent landslide. WRGC was there to take pictures and get further details on the status of the project from park officials. We were able to speak at length with Dana Soehn, Management Assistant for the National Park Service, as she showed us first-hand the progress that is being made. "The back fill will be a reinforced slope design," Soehn said. "That's layers of crushed stone with a geo-synthetic fabric material layered about every three feet or so, that will add stability to the new slope." She went on to say that the design of the fill portion of the project will allow for drainage hopefully avoiding further washouts in the future. As for the record rains the led to the landslide Soehn commented, "This was out third wettest rain on record. Just on this event alone, over that four day period, we had over thirteen inches of rain in this area." Repairs are going to require 4,000 truckloads of crushed stone as fill material that will be coming from Nantahala Talc & Limestone in Swain County at a cost of two million dollars. The contractor, Phillips & Jordan, who was awarded the contract last week, has a completion date of May 15th, and an incentive of $18,000 dollars a day for early completion up to $500,000. According to Soehn, they have been working on the site since Friday and already have 1500 pieces of equipment in place to assist in the rebuilding effort. WRGC is commited to continue bringing you updates on this story as they become available.

Amidst accusations of promoting racism, adidas made the decision today not to release it's new "Shackle" Sneakers.
Designed by Jeremy Scott, a New York designer known for his controversial and outrageous creations, the adidas JS Roundhouse Mids have sparked outrage through the adidas fan community. Voicing mixed opinions on adidas' Facebook page, both fans and critics of the shoe agree it's a little outrageous that everyone is getting so fired up about the sneaker design.
What do you think? Did adidas make the right decision, or should they move forward with the launch of the JS Roundhouse Mids aka the "Shackle" Sneakers?

CrockPot Roasted & Spiced Nuts Recipe
Day 341.
How are you doing on your holiday shopping? If you're still in need for a quick gift and would prefer the homemade touch, these nuts are perfect.
Unless your recipient is allergic to nuts. Then you should make something else.
The Ingredients.
1 cup raw, unsalted pecans
1 cup raw, unsalted almonds
1 cup raw, unsalted pistachios (no shells, just the meat)
1/2 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds
1 1/2 T maple syrup
1 tsp curry
1 tsp rosemary
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
cooking spray
The Directions.
I used a 6.5 quart crockpot. Anything over a 4 quart should work just fine. This makes enough nuts to feed 12 people as a snack; I'd guess maybe 3-4 gift containers.
Spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray. This is the only grease/butter, which creates a fantastic non-oily nut. I love this.
Put in your nuts/seeds, and add all of the spices and the maple syrup. Toss well to coat.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes or so. The nuts will burn if you don't stir, but if a few do get burnt, don't worry about it. That's part of the charm of a homemade gift.
Spread the nuts out on a layer of foil or wax paper to completely cool, and store in an air-tight container.
The Verdict.
We all really liked these, and so did my dad. The kids ate a bunch, and then waved at their tongue because of the slight kick from the cayenne, but kept going back for more. Both the maple syrup and cayenne is there, but not over-powering, which is sort of scary because you can eat a bucket load.

Hi Lisa,
I'd give it a try without the salt---and then maybe tweak to taste with the other flavors. The salt isn't the stand-out flavor, and I'm sure wouldn't be missed at all.

Totally random, but I love that you use TJ's ingredients. My DH works there - so thanks for supporting our family in an indirect way :) I noticed you don't use their boxed broth (which is waaay cheaper than other places) and was wondering why?

Hi Elise,
I do. I go back and forth, depending on what store I'm in. Sometimes I need to grocery shop early in the morning and the 9am open-time at TJ's isn't practical. I love Trader Joe's---we can walk there, and do quite often!

Great idea! I am making soap for the "girls" for this Yule however, I had no idea to make the guys... this is perfect.
This... some grilling spices and a good pair of grillin' tongs should do nicely for the boys!

I can't wait to try this reciipe! However there is one small thing, my 4 year old twins broke the lid to my oval 6 qt. crock pot last night! Yes, they are still alive, but I am deeply sad. I was wondering, can I still use the crock and just cover it with foil? Will this mess with cooking time and temp?
Blessings, Beth Ann

I have fallen in LOVE w/ you blog!!! & I finally glad to meet someone who loves their crockpot more than me.
I was back looking in Oct about freezing the dried beans after cooking them--have you tried to use them from the freezer? When I tried last yr after they were in the freezer they tasted off & the texture was funny
- December 6, 2008 at 12:29 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
oh no, Beth Ann! I know that they sell replacement parts on the crock-pot website, but woah, that stinks. I've heard of people using foil successfully, but I haven't personally tried it.
cheryllsm, I have used the beans, all of them. I wonder what happened? Was the flavor plastic-y? Texture-wise, were they too soft?

I am very new to crockpot cooking. Y husband has just been put on a very low salt diet and I bought the pot to make soup and stock in. I would love to have recipes for cooking various cuts of meat that would give me stock as well as the finished dish.
I love the thought of being able to put the ingredients in the pot and get a fully cooked meal out at the end.
I had always used a pressure cooker in the past for quickness, but guess the slow low cooking would preserve more of the goodness.

Hi Steph,
I was inspired by you to buy a crockpot. Before reading your blog, I thought Pot Roast was the only thing that could be made in a crockpot.
I've decided to use this and other recipes of yours for gift giving. I was wondering if your craftiness in cooking crosses over to gift wrapping as I have no clue how to make these holiday snacks presentable. How have you packaged them?
- December 8, 2008 at 7:36 PM

Hi Taylor, I'm not very crafty, and prefer to go the decorative tin or jar route from the dollar store.
- December 8, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I've got a batch of this in the CP now. TJ did not have the raw pistachios, so I used cashews and peanuts instead. Also left out the curry as I am not a curry fan. I added a dash of cinnamon though.
Hope this works! I was thinking also that this would taste good using the cereal and pretzels from the Chex mix recipe, but with the spices from this (minus the curry of course).
I often make recipe hybrids. How about you?
- December 9, 2008 at 1:19 PM
My nuts are delicious! The cinnamon is a nice touch. I am still going to try to find the pistachios and try it with those.
I love that I can make this salt free or at least low salt.

I made this today to take to an International Woman's Club afternoon tea. It's really good! I am making it again but no rosemary, more cayenne. Thank you!

I made ANOTHER batch yesterday to send to my son and dil in Arizona. I think they will "go nuts" over these!
- December 11, 2008 at 8:05 AM
These are amazing. I just hope we don't eat them all before Christmas!
- December 12, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Do you think this would work with walnuts instead of pecans? I'm in China and can't get pecans here. (Well, I can get them, but I have to pay a small fortune.)

Thanks for the post :-) Any comments on mine will be much appreciated! :-)
- December 23, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Sorry, this recipe did not make nearly enough. I don't know how I am going to keep enough until tonight when I was going to bring them to an open house. Ohmygosh yummy! So...can I double the recipe but keep the time at 2 hours?
- December 24, 2008 at 4:02 PM
what on earth did I do before I had a slow cooker? (3 days ago) and thank heavens I found this blog!!

Ideally, I'm looking for a way to type hexidecimal unicodes into a tex file and when processed, produces a file where (in my case) Korean characters appear (i.e., the HTML way of doing Unicode).
So far what I've found on the web has shown me that the only way of doing it is by 1) finding a way to input Korean characters in your tex file (I used input-ucs-character in Emacs) 2) using the ucs latex package 3) it should work. Well it doesn't and I get a garbled text error which means that the package isn't working.
Does anyone know if this is the only way of entering unicodes into latex?

On Monday, a federal judge blocked portions of a Georgia law that would crack down on illegal immigration, at least until a legal challenge is fully resolved. In his ruling, the judge asserted that the role of enforcing immigration laws should be left to the federal government.
The order was handed down by Judge Thomas Thrash — a 1997 Bill Clinton appointee — who granted a request to block provisions in the law that would punish those who knowingly and willingly transport illegal aliens while committing another crime. Thrash also put a halt to the part of the law that would authorize police officers to verify the immigration status of someone who is unable to provide proper identification at the time of a stop.

First, let me say that I really appreciate the efforts that Boulder County Commissioners Will Toor, Deb Gardner and Cindy Domenico are making to help improve our county's antiquated oil and gas regulations. I don't envy them as they work their way through this difficult and incredibly important task.
I'm guessing they have noticed that those who oppose oil and gas drilling in our county, particularly those wells utilizing horizontal drilling and fracking technologies, have become more vocal in their opposition of late. In fact, they couldn't avoid noticing that their last public meeting on the subject became a full-on anti-fracking protest complete with begging, tears, accusations and even language that some folks may have construed as threatening. Time's up, elected leaders. The fracking issue has officially blown up, and it is up to you to understand why and to do something about it, something bold and substantial.
This isn't like other recent issues that have been volatile on the county level, like GMOs on county open space. This time around, Boulder County citizens can't just choose to shop at the local organic clean air and water store and pay a little more to keep their families safe while they carry on the fight with their own county to get it to do what the vast majority of citizens want.
When people hear that the county's staff and consultants are actually worried that recommending even something as small, and frankly pathetic, as 750- or 1,000-foot setbacks from homes is too restrictive and might anger Encana and its oil and gas industry peers, they get mad. The people of Boulder County aren't stupid or poorly informed. They know about the research that says that having a drilling platform within 2,500 feet of your home may greatly increase your family's chances of getting sick. They have read how groundwater contamination linked to fracking and poor drilling practices in places like Pavillion, Wyo., have destroyed communities. They've seen the gas bubbling up in our Western Slope rivers, and they've seen people in Weld County lighting their drinking water on fire. And yes, they are aware that Encana seems to be around when things like that go wrong, always sending out the PR people to tell us that it's not the company's fault.
Encana owns and operates the Muddy Gap Field in Pavillion, where the EPA found that not only is it likely that fracking has contaminated the groundwater, but that out of 169 wells examined by the agency, only two were properly cased and cemented to an adequate depth to protect groundwater. Encana is currently being investigated for price-fixing, along with its industry pal Chesapeake Energy. Evidence suggests that the two companies were allegedly exchanging email messages about not competing with one another to hold down lease prices. Evidence released so far suggests the emails came from the top, not some rogue petroleum landman in the field.
And here we are in meek little ol' Boulder County, trying to not make our hoped-for compromises to save our environment and quality of life too expensive or burdensome for the likes of Encana, which has already lined up dozens of drilling permits that it will presumably fulfill with the same lack of grace and environmental concern that it has exhibited in its other producing fields. This is why so many people are angry.
They don't want an extra 150 feet on a setback and another Encana promise to be really careful about its air and water pollution this time around.
Boulder County residents understand that once this tidal wave of drilling rolls through, it's over. It's done. Forever. We can't go back, we can't undrill or unpollute our once-beautiful homeland. This is why people are so angry.
The oil and gas industry understands what our elected leaders don't seem to get, namely, that it has to drill it all right now because public opinion is turning, towns are passing fracking bans, and science is starting to catch up and is warning us of potential dangers from fracking that the industry laughed off and claimed could never happen only a few years ago.
Just this week, the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed that disposal wells where fracking fluids are hidden away are, in fact, causing earthquakes, something the industry has denied for years. More importantly, that means that those disposal wells are located along previously unknown faults, which means that the toxic fracking liquids can escape from their supposed permanent burial sites and begin the journey toward the groundwater above, where such contamination could have staggering consequences. New research in the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania has confirmed that this is likely happening. This is why people are angry.
Note to our county commissioners: Please stop trying to figure out the best compromise you can get without angering the state and the oil and gas industry, and start using radical, creative thinking to do the will of the people and stop the fracking. We understand that we will get sued and it will cost money. We approve the expenditure. If you don't believe us, put it to a vote like they did in Longmont. You know it would pass. Even if we can't win, we can certainly delay things until more information and new legal challenges to the industry arise. If we don't fight now, when that new information comes along that finally stops or makes fracking more safe, it will not matter. Boulder County will already have been decimated. Our air will already be more dangerous to breathe and our property values will already have been devastated.
There are many lawsuits currently under way around the country that are effectively slowing down or even temporarily stopping the drilling. Boulder County should extend the moratorium on drilling and use the time to study which of these suits we could use here to our advantage.
The state of Colorado recently announced that it will not enforce the EPA's new air quality standards for oil and gas wells because it only has eight existing air-quality inspectors who already can't get to the state's existing 48,000 wells. The EPA should be willing to enforce its own laws, but it says it has assigned its enforcement and inspection duties to the state. Why can't Boulder County use this incompetence to its advantage? Boulder County could refuse to grant a drilling permit for any well that will not be operated and inspected in accordance with federal air quality standards. If the state sues, the EPA should have to join with the county in defending the practice. Boulder County wouldn't be setting its own more restrictive requirements on the oil and gas industry, it would simply be refusing to allow the industry to operate outside of the existing federal law. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. The point is our county commissioners have to stop trying to get as little as they can get away with from the industry and state to avoid getting sued. If we don't fight to stop, or at least delay as long as humanly possible, the coming fracking invasion, we all lose, forever.
And that's why people are so angry, and why they will only get moreso until their voice is heard.

beautifully written. Go Boulder!
Tremendous article, well-researched and powerfully worded. I can't believe that Boulder County is on the verge of letting Encana and others blast apart the rock under our feet and infuse it and our air and water with chemicals. With our legacy of open-space and other protections of our natural assets, it is simply unbelievable that the commissioners would lie down for this without a fight.
Superb article, Boulder Weekly.
It's a beautiful thing when community comes together to take a stand for their health, community and children's future! http://vimeo.com/54985754
The statement released by the County Commissioners and as reported in the Camera are sensationalized and misleading. THANK YOU to the Boulder Weekly for reporting the TRUTH!

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — New "Infinity Machine!" Yes. "Quantum Leap?" Yes. "The Future of Computing?" Well, no IPO yet. No Dell laptops. But wow, Time's cover story sure is heaping praise on the amazing new quantum physics computer technology:
New quantum computing "promises to solve some of humanity's most complex problems ... backed by Jeff Bezos, NASA and the CIA ... each costs $10,000,000 ... operates at 459 degrees below zero." Even the fact that "nobody knows how it actually works" isn't a problem, says Time's Lev Grossman. Why? Quantum computing "will change how we cure disease, explore the heavens and do business on Earth."
But is it really a miracle-worker? Will it come with a moral conscience? Know right from wrong? Or will the amazing "Infinity Machine" just be the next generation of superhot, but soulless big-data processors? Ask yourself:
Why does Bezos want the "Infinity Machine?" To accelerate Amazon's profit-making machine by feeding the world's insatiable consumer economy? What does the CIA cyberspying agency want with this "Infinity Machine?" Will new quantum computing technology help search deeper into our privacy? Will the new "Infinity Machine" become just another new high-tech weapon in Wall Street's profit-making arsenal annually siphoning off more billions from the retirement portfolios of America's 95 million investors?
Moral conscience? Or $10 million in a new Silicon Valley IPO?
The moral issues are crucial, earlier raised in Isaac Azimov's "I-Robot" ... in "The Terminator" rebellions with robots out to destroy humans ... and now in the new "RoboCop" reboot where USA Today focuses us on a corporate CEO secretly using an AI program to "increase their profit margin" by eliminating human judgment.
And we were just reminded how easy it is to crack sophisticated computing systems: In "Snowden Used Low-Cost Tool to Best NSA" the New York Times exposed how easy it was for one renegade hacker to crack into America spy machinery armed only with low-tech "web-crawlers."
So what's the danger tomorrow? What if China's cyberwarriors gain control of an American "Infinity Machine?" Or a terrorist nation buys one on the black market?
We better ask the hard questions now: Will the new "Infinity Machine" quantum leap give us a new soul with a conscience that can choose between right and wrong? Will it be designed to know when not to drop weapons from drones? Be designed with algorithms that outvote corporate CEOs and board members, putting the public interest ahead of shareholder profits? Will moral decision-making be programmed into the "Infinity Machine?"
Yes, it's time Americans start asking the tough questions, now ... before it's too late.
Warning, Wall Street's 'Infinity Machine' is here, now, in a 'Singularity'
In an earlier Time cover story, Grossman gave similar high praise for ideas on what could have been a version of "Infinity Machine." In "2045: the year man becomes immortal," Time reviewed artificial intelligence guru Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology." Kurzweil also wrote "The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence." And has invented many AI technologies: speech recognition, reading machines for the blind, music synthesizers, digital scanners.
Kurzweil recently described the "Singularity" in the Wall Street Journal: "The underlying theme is what I call the law of accelerating returns, which is the exponential growth of the price performance and capacity of information technology," extending Moore's Law from computer hardware to quantum computing, but no moral compass?
"Accelerating returns?" Yes, and for the Wall Street profit-making machine that describes how "The Singularity" is already here. Now. Today. Everything AI guru Kurzweil predicted in his classic "The Singularity is Near" is already a reality across the financial world. Obviously his 2045 launch date was for everybody else in the world, but not banks. Yes, Wall Street's "Singularity" began accelerating profits years go.
Wall Street first discovered the secret to accelerating profits decades ago. Another genius, University of Chicago Prof. Richard Thaler, reveals its basic concepts in his two-volume classic, "Advances in Behavioral Finance." His theory is actually quite low-tech: Wall Street "needs investors who are irrational, woefully uninformed ... willing to hold overpriced assets."
No moral conscience necessary. Adam Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments" is lost. Wall Street's "accelerating returns" simply mean more profits for bank insiders and shareholders. Never for America's 95 million retail investors. Never the public interest.
Get it? Wall Street does not want rational, informed investors. Never. So traders, brokers, advisers, gurus use tricks to obfuscate, put up obstacles, keep investors making irrational and informed decisions. Anything so they can keep skimming what Vanguard founder Jack Bogle calls the "croupier's third" right off the top of Main Street's market returns.
10 ways the Wall Street profit-making machine manipulates Main Street
I've been observing the Wall Street machine in action since my days at Morgan Stanley years ago. The truth is, Wall Street really doesn't need a sophisticated high-tech "Infinity Machine." They're already in a Snowden-style low-tech "Singularity," "accelerating returns" skimming money from 95 million Main Street investors.

Note: How Henrik Lundqvist Is Dealing With The Lockout
During a Google Hangout, Henrik Lundqvist said this about what he is doing right now during the lockout.
"I'm practicing in NY 4-5 days a week, skating and doing some off ice stuff. If this drags on I will go to Sweden to see some family and friends, but I haven't planned anything. It's been a long summer and I miss the game. If it can't get done quickly, I may have to go back and play in Gothenberg. My goal is to have a great year and a great season so whatever I can do to improve my game and be ready for when the season starts."
CLICK HERE to see a section just on Lundqvist maybe returning to Sweden.
Lundqvist added, "It is hard to get everybody to understand why we are in this position. I thought for sure we would have a deal by now. I am really disappointed. I miss the game and it's been a long summer. I miss the adrenaline and to play under pressure at the Garden. I really hope things work out soon. There are a few people that know all the details but we will just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best."

|Murder Charges Dismissed Against Todd Man
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 28 February 2013 06:39
Murder charges have been dismissed for a Todd man, charged with second-degree murder, even though his case was not on the court docket for the week. The charge against Thomas James Laing was dismissed Monday after being reviewed by prosecutors who determined he acted in self-defense.
Laing, 58, was charged with second-degree murder on March 29th of last year after shooting 30-year-old Richard Matthew Bartlett in the head at Laing's home at 996 South Road. Prosecutors said evidence showed Laing was injured in an altercation some two weeks before the shooting, and that Bartlett's friends said the 30-year-old admitted hitting Laing. Investigators said Bartlett was angry the night of the shooting, causing Laing to shut himself in the house.

Stacey Smith recently finished rebuilding a 1913 steam-powered tractor. The process included completely dismantling the machine and replacing some parts with new ones made by hand.
Stacey Smith feeds pieces of wood into the firebox of the 1913 steam tractor he rebuilt. It took about a year to fabricate the machine's new boiler.
Stacey Smith drives the steam tractor he recently restored. Smith says that there are only three others like it in South Carolina.
Stacey Smith drives the steam tractor he recently restored.
The steam tractor was built by the Frick Co. in 1913.
Steam rises through filtered sunlight.
Stacey Smith sits in the bed of a pickup truck loaded with wood he uses to operate the steam tractor. The tractor's engine was also designed to run a lumber mill which Smith has done.
