MASSENA – U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has urged the CSX Corporation to choose Massenafor their Select Site Program.
The program certifies rail-served sites that are capable of accommodating larger, rail-served industrial end-users.CSX Select Sites are the first premium certified rail-sites focused on industrialization.
In order to receive the designation, sites will have to comply with certain criteria such as land control, infrastructure and utility availability, environmental and cultural reviews, wetlands delineation, appropriate zoning and entitlement, rail serviceability, and proximity to highways or interstates.
RACER Trust, submitter of the CSX Select Site application, has been actively working with the Massena community to repurpose and redevelop the site of the former Massena Powertrain Plant.
Recent industrial developments and close proximity to Northeastern and Canadian markets makes Massena a qualified candidate for the CSX Select Site designation, Sen. Gillibrand said in a release. RACER Trust has been an integral part of demonstrating the north countrys commitment to industrial development and expansion. This designation will highlight the regions assets to potential new companies that could call the former Powertrain Plant site a new home, bringing more work and jobs for the areas well trained industrial workforce.
This truly great news for Massena, Massena Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said. On behalf of our residents and the town council, I would like to thank the folks at RACER trust for their hard work promoting this site and our community. This property is a great site with lots of development potential. Were anxious to show what Massena has to offer to a future developer.
This is a great opportunity to highlight the many benefits of doing business in the Massena area, and we support RACERs efforts wholeheartedly, St. Lawrence County Legislator Tony Arquiett, D-Helena, chairman of the North Country Redevelopment Task Force said. RACER has been a strong advocate and partner for economic development and jobs in the north country, and a CSX Select designation for the former GM property is an important step toward strengthening our local economy. We thank Senator Gillibrand for her active participation in this process and work to advance the interests of the North Country.
The RACER Trust appreciates Senator Gillibrands leadership and support for our application, said Patricia Spitzley, deputy redevelopment manager of the RACER Trust and leader of the Trusts initiative to seek the CSX Select designation.
Designation as a CSX Select site would send a very clear and strong message to the market that CSX joins RACER in recognizing the substantial amenities available at our Massena property, including access to low-cost bulk hydro-power, immediate access to an international border crossing to Canada, a superior workforce and of course excellent rail service. CSX would be a welcomed and valuable partner in our efforts to attract new jobs, investment and other lasting benefits to Massena and the north country, she said.
The former Massena Powertrain Plant, a 217.2-acre property, is in close proximity to easily accessible transportation facilities.The deep-water port in Ogdensburgprovides the facility with direct access to Northeastern United States and Canada.Additionally, some of North Americas cleanest, cheapest power is readily available at the international hydroelectric St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project, which spans the U.S.-Canadian border at Massena.
In her letter to CSX Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CSX Corporation Michael J. Ward, Senator Gillibrand wrote, I believe these assets make this site fully capable of accommodating larger, rail-served industrial end-users, positioning it as a perfect fit for CSXs Certified Rail-Served Sites Select Site Program. If successful in securing this designation, the Massena site will be even better positioned to attract new industrial operations, with CSXs program further helping communities prepare properties to compete for new investment and job creation.

If you haven't kept up with advancements in prosthetics, now's a good time to observe how a new generation of devices can undertake even the most precise tasks.
The fingers on the BeBionic 3 hand configure themselves according to electrical signals in the user's skin. The hand's power grip has been improved to 31.5 pounds.
A man in Sweden has become the first recipient of a mind-controlled prosthetic arm that is directly interfaced with muscle, bone and nerves.
Researchers have created a prosthetic hand that allows the wearer to feel objects via wires to the nerves in the upper arm.
Carpenter Richard van As made his own digits after losing his fingers in an accident. Now he's helping kids by 3D-printing prosthetics and running an Indiegogo campaign.
A Kickstarter campaign is raising funds to get an ultracheap 3D-printed robotic hand into production.
The new hand should be able to relay signals from a sensor to the man's brain, allowing him to feel what he touches.
Researchers at Georgia Tech come up with a solution for making tablets more accessible to children with orthopedic disabilities and neurological disorders that impair motor skills.
The BeBionic 3 is the most advanced bionic hand in the world. Nigel Ackland, who lost his right hand in an accident, shows off what it can do.

Whoo Hoo!
Nami and Robin are in the lead!
I love Nami's character so naturally I voted for her. And Robin's up there because her personality is humorously dark and creepy
I only voted for the other ones because they came from series I knew... It doesn't hurt to give others a little boost in popularity, does it?
Daniela (Ottavo) from REBORN. Yes, she only appeared in three panels but I love her. In one of the extra pages her family was one the strongest apart from the second and fourth (?) generations. Other female characters on the list are brought up in a world where fighting is the norm but her character exists in our world where women didn't have the respect they had during her time. (I'm assuming some time around 1940~50.) To become a female head of a Mafia is incredible so that's why she's my favourite heroine of any manga. :3
I voted for Nami as she's deviously smart and is pretty. Plus, she doesn't mind punching Luffy and Zoro even though they're very strong or using Sanji for her benefit.
For me it's Robin - demon, assassin, Straw Hat <3
"Robin, of course!" right when I just read the title <3
Can't help it: she's intelligent, independent, elegant and beautiful :3
\o/ Robin FTW XD
Other (again)
I started reading ONE PIECE, and I find Bellemere to be my favourite heroine so far. (Nami is awesome, but hey, this woman raised her!) The love she has for her two daughters is amazing. Not only is she an excellent mother to Nami and Nojiko, she's also a strong-willed individual. She's independent and does what she wants; that's why I love Bellemere.
Plus, she rocks the cowboy hats!
Why include Botan but not Keiko? She was pretty awesome, standing up to Yusuke like that when almost no one else (female anyway) did, though they were boyfriend-girlfriend (I think).
Doesn't Erza Scarlett deserve a mention on the list? Also Riza and Olivia from fma are way beyond the leagues of those on the list.
This thread is for the girls of Weekly Shounen Jump. The ones you mentioned are from other magazines.
Some new heroines popped up so it's time to revive this thread I would like to know if the choice you made back then would still be the same and/or if you have a new favourite.
For me it's probably Chitoge from Nisekoi. Her interactions with Raku are just too funny and I find her interesting and special on her own. She may not be as deep a character as other Jump series girls are but she always makes me laugh not to mention that she looks pretty nice
For me, there still were some missing in the vote:
- Bulma - DRAGON BALL
- Shichouin Yoruichi - BLEACH
- Reiko Katherine Akimoto - KochiKame
- Mitarashi Anko - Naruto
- Shizune - Naruto
- Mikado Ryouko - To Love-RU
- Kotegawa Yui - To Love-RU
- Kisugi Hitomi - Cat's Eye
- Mio - Blue Dragon Ral Ω Grad
- Yukime - Jigoku Sensei Nube
And probably newer than the vote:
- Aoki Yuriko - Bakuman.
- Boa Hancock - ONE PIECE
- Aoi Hana - Oumagadoki Doubutsuen
- Hagiwara Natsuki - Anedoki
- Fifi Collins - ST&RS

The Eldorado Arts and Crafts Association was formed 25 years ago by a small group of local artists who banded together to launch the first studio tour.
The non-profit association has grown to over 200 members in recent years, and provides monthly educational meetings, shop-talks, a plein air landscape group and a figure drawing group.
The EACA sponsors the May Studio Tour and the October Fall Show each year to provide a venue for artists living in the Eldorado community. The Eldorado Studio Tour is Santa Fe's largest studio tour. In fact, the Eldorado Studio Tour is the largest in the state. Each year the artists open their home studios to show their amazing art representing a wide spectrum of art media. See link for the Studio Tour to the left to get more information.
The Fall Show, held in October, brings together a large number of EACA artists in a single venue at St John's United Methodist Church, 1200 Old Pecos Rd in Santa Fe, the weekend before Halloween. It's a great opportunity to jump-start your holiday shopping with fine arts and crafts from local artists. See link for the Fall Show to the left to get more information.
Through generous donations of the artists, the Studio Tour and Fall Show are able to help support local organizations. Past recipients have included Eldorado Fire and Rescue, Vista Grande Public Library, El Dorado Community School, and the Ken and Patty Adam Senior Center.
Businesses and individuals sponsor the Studio Tour that in turn provides advertising dollars to promote the tour. These sponsors have been the backbone of the Eldorado Studio Tour that allows the advertising and publicity committee to place print and radio ads from Taos to Albuquerque. We thank our sponsors for their generosity and urge our visitors to support these business sponsors who are listed in the tour brochure as well as the Studio Tour website.
If you would like to join our organization, please download the membership form, fill it out, and mail it to us. Full instructions are on the form. Studio Tour applications are generally sent out to all active members in mid to late December. Fall Tour applications are generally sent out to active members in early August. Anyone is welcome to join our organization. To be in the Studio Tour or Fall Show, you must live in one of the subdivisions (in the Eldorado area) with access from one of the three major entrances on the west side of US 285.

"Megadeth front man Dave Mustaine's mother-in-law, who suffers from Alzheimer's, has been missing for almost three weeks, and the distraught singer says he now just hopes someone may have picked her up – and that if they turn her in, there will be no questions asked."

Daniel Radcliffe, the star of Horns and Harry Potter tells Gigwise about the music he loves.
Gigwise: You've said listening to Megadeth helped get you into character: what track in particular?
Daniel Radcliffe: "Sweating Bullets", specifically for the lines "Hello me, It's me again / You can subdue but never tame me" and "A dark black past is my / Most valued possession". It's an insane song and it sounds like a pyschopath talking to himself… and that was very helpful.

Chomper goes home
Chomper, a young pit bull-labrador mix, was reunited with his family Friday at the St. Lucie County Humane Society in Fort Pierce. Chomper had been quarantined at the facility after biting a child in the neck — an incident described by all involved as an accident. Brothers Kyron Pratt (6) and Jarrell Pratt (10) played with Chomper outside of the Humane Society, while their mother Carmen Cagle and sister Kyla Pratt (9) thanked the Humane Society, organizations like Happy Hounds, Help Us Help Them and individuals like 12-year-old Lacie Greenwald, of Hobe Sound, who helped make the reunion possible. Greenwald has started an organization, Animals' Last Hope, to help pets in need.

Has anybody ever made a crankshaft for a HD engine?
Re: Crankshaft instead of flywheel
Many decades ago, I do not recall exactly when, I saw an HD engine with a crankshaft and automotive split rod babbit bearings. If I can recall correctly, they modified the cases to except an access cover to the rod caps.
Re: Crankshaft instead of flywheel
I remember one, it had 145" with plain auto style bearings. Mike
Re: Crankshaft instead of flywheel
You arn't thinking of the Super V that Nostalga Cycles built are you? Basicaly the front two cylinders off a 350 Chevy. It was a good idea but the excution and customer service was BAD. Seems like thier Shovel knockoff used the same automotive style lower end. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Carbon's Jennee Martinez scoops out a dig on a serve in an earlier game against North Sanpete. She has been leading the team on defensive digs for the season.
After starting the 2011 season without a win in their first five games, the Carbon High Dinos Volleyball team is starting to find their winning groove as the season progresses.
The Lady Dinos picked up their third straight victory on the season with a 3-1 win (24-26, 25-22, 26-24, 25-23) over Spanish Fork on Tuesday night.
Carbon looked to be in position to take the first set with a good lead but Spanish Fork set off a scoring barrage to take the set, according to Carbon coach Bob Potts.
"We had a lead in the first set but Spanish Fork came all the way back to take the first set," said Potts.
Despite the disappointing start to the game, Potts said the team started playing better as the game went along.
In the final three sets, Carbon was able to get a lead on the Lady Dons. But in each set they needed to hold off Spanish Fork from making a comeback.
Senior Amanda Freestone led the Dinos with 19 kills. Senior Rachel Scoggins added 8 kills and junior Kayleigh Potts had 5.
Senior Shaylie Jones finished with 30 assists. Four Carbon players finished with at least ten digs including junior Jennee Martinez (14), junior Sadey Daughterty (12), senior Darian Latimer (11) and Jones with (11).
Potts said is not concerned with the team's slow start to the season, citing the many tournaments teams play in before regular season play.
"We have good offensive talent to put points on the board," he said. "If our defense continues to improve, it will enhance our offense and help win games."
Carbon will continue region play as they take on Delta tonight at 6 p.m. at the Carbon High Gym.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Ash and scorched metal were all that were left of a garage, equipment and two cars after a fire erupted at Melody Estates mobile home park in Price Sunday night. There were no injuries.
Fire fighters from Price and Helper surrounded the blaze shortly after it started around 8 p.m., but the fire had burned too hot and too fast to save the structure and the vehicles.
At least two other vehicles nearby were damaged, along with ATVs, according to Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont.
The chief said the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, but preliminary findings are that it started in the garage and spread rapidly.
Bedont said the owner of the home nearby, Matthew Savage, explained that he had been working a vehicle and it started smoking.
Fire fighting was hampered by several events Bedont described as "Murphy's Law." First there were periodic blasts from the garage as stored propane bottles "blevvied" - boiling liquid vapor explosions. An acetylene tank had vented as it was designed to do, so there was no explosion from it.
Also, the privately owned fire hydrant at the park malfunctioned. Price firefighters called on Helper's 3,000 gallon pump truck. That provided more than enough water to douse the blaze.
Firefighters succeeded in protecting the home.

So you're considering becoming a CNA and are therefore investigating CNA Training Classes in Howell MI. One of the things I'm sure you want to know before you become fully trained is whether or not there will actually be a job waiting for you when you graduate. As you know, the economy is going through a bit of a rough patch and some career choices do not show long term trends for growth.
Luckily, this career is not one of them.

Consequentially, this confirms that you are definitely on the right track by searching for CNA classes in Howell MI.
The nursing profession is regarded as one of the most important and most demanding positions in the field of medical science. The word "Nurse" itself emanates a sense of admiration and dedication. Nursing assistants have more direct involvement with the patients than any other medical professional.

According the federal policymakers, the minimum requirements of training should be increased from 75 hours to at least 100 to 120 hours and clinical training minimum requirements need to be raised to at least 50 to 60 hours. This will ensure that CNAs have sufficient training they need to provide good quality care to residents. This will also reduce CNA turnover, which in turn will improve the quality of care. Apart from that, it is required to upgrade the training program to screen applicants before enrolment. This will improve the proportion of students who successfully complete the programs and become CNAs.
According to Federal law, the training and testing expenses of CNA program are reimbursed by the facilities.
Good organizational abilities, good communication skills, excellent management skills and organizational abilities are some of the major attributes required for a nursing job. During the nursing training program, aspiring candidates learn about the above mentioned attributes. Certified nursing assistants are well-trained to perform all the duties and responsibilities of a nurse assistant more efficiently.
Today with the increasing demand of medical facilities, the employment opportunities for nursing career is rising. CNAs earn good salaries, depending upon their experience and the health care facility where they are employed. On an average, a CNA can earn between $20,000 and $30,000 in a year. Considering the amount of money and time invested in becoming a certified nursing assistant, this career offers a great launching point at this salary. Moreover, many hospitals and private employers offer other benefits like childcare, educational benefits, medical and dental benefits, and life insurance. CNAs can work in hospitals or clinics, elderly homes, rehabilitation centres, nursing homes and as home care aides.
Two factors are critical to landing a job in the nursing industry. Experience and education play an important role when applying for jobs. Gain relevant experience through voluntary service at non-profits, hospitals, shelters, and clinics. With more experience, you are only going to better your chances of getting hired. Increase your experience in your specific area of interest, such as pediatrics.
With some professional experience behind you, you will find it significantly easier getting entry level jobs at hospitals, critical care centers, or similar health agencies. By focusing on advancing your education, serving your patients to the best of your ability, and staying abreast of the advancements in your field, you will be able to out-climb your co-workers up the ladder.
The health care system of any country is highly dependent on registered nurses. The population increase ensures that the field will be wide open for decades. An emphatic and dedicated worker will do well in a nursing career.

Michio Kaku gets special mention for prophesies of doom that were completely at odds with the facts on the ground."

You'll learn about the eight major glands, or collections of cells, that make up the endocrine system. Find out which gland is responsible for making you grow, which regulates the level of sugar in your blood, and which one gives you an extra burst of energy just when you need it the most. Plus, find out about some of the different hormones produced by these glands; the role your brain plays in the endocrine system; and how negative feedback tells your glands to stop producing hormones.

The 1st choice of pro players.
The Gold Series GT-E34L-S Matched Power Medium (4-7 GT Rating) Quartets are an exclusive GT design with special "heat wings" attached to the plate for more power, longer life, and better tone. Big bottom, very dynamic, most powerful in its class.
This is a specially modified power pentode with 15% more power and great overall tone. Big heat sinks attached to the plates keep it from sagging at full power so the bass stays tight and the treble crisp.
Country of origin: Slovakia
Low-rated tubes have early break-up and distortion, wide range and softer attack good for rock and blues solos. Medium-rated tubes offer normal performance, great dynamic range/attack and are the best all around rating type for all styles of playing. High-rated tubes have the most dynamic range and the most clean power/less break-up for power players, jazz guitarists and bass amps.

I have a pair of these I put in my Marshall DSL 50. Nice, improved tone deeper richer more sustain. It had Russian Mullard they seem good an strong but the amp likes the GT's much better. I also found a set of Mullard GT. Britain made tubes in a amp I bought. When I put those in the DSL50 it just sings. I use the soft[1-3] mine read S-1. REAL GOOD for rock an blues

Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-E34L-S Matched Power Tubes:
I installed a pair of these in a Marshall 50 watt. Bought them on a whim... that they might be a good tube, It paid off! These tubes really kick! Everyone says they are just re-branded tubes from **. They are not the same tube!! The E34L from ** is a good tube. If the E34L is something you like, hold on to your hats..the E34Ls is even better! It has a heat dissipation rib integral with either side of the plate structure to draw heat away. The result is a tighter response, and mids plus highs that don't go away...no matter how hard you push, the GT-E34Ls pushes back!

Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-E34L-S Matched Power Tubes:
Good tubes, good price, not much more can be said about vacuum tubes.
These tubes come matched, presumably by plate current draw, transconductance and 'hardness'. They are widely available from many retailers and on-line sources, but I found the price here at Musician's Friend to be the lowest.
I installed the tubes, re-biased the Marshall JCM900 4100 to 37ma and everything is great.
Not much more one can say about tubes if they work without issues.
The tubes are attractively labeled and packaged for safe transportation. Physical appearance and reputation of Groove Tubes is long established.
They work well and are competitively priced against other popular brands.
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-E34L-S Matched Power Tubes:
I had a local tech put in Ruby EL-34 tubes in my 100 Watt Marshall at his recommendation. Worse mistake I could have made. I can say the Rubies did increase the low end, but it made it mushy and flabby and muddy, High end lost sparkle and the mids were covered with a blanket. After putting up with this for awhile I decided to put in GT EL-34L-s matched quartet. They actually kept the same power in the low end and made it so much more articulate. High end sparkle now sounds like a Marshall should and the mids are layered and multi-dimensional. This was a major improvement in a already great amp. Now I can see why Plexis are so raved about.
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-E34L-S Matched Power Tubes:
I got these tubes biased in my JCM 800 reissue what I heard was so much better then the stock or any other EL34 tubes Ive heard it was tighter it doesnt get muddy when you drop tune your guitar It handles the bottomend better. should I say it has more balance Midrange which is a good thing cause it sounds harsh with the vintage 30s..thanx Musician friend

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. - The crowds have gone home and the lights have been packed away. Now the cleanup from Nik Wallenda's wire spectacle can begin.
Crews began taking down the tightrope shortly after Wallenda completed his walk. The wire that took several days to put up, was taken down in a matter of hours.
Cleanup also began in earnest in Niagara Falls State Park on Saturday. The fencing and barriers that were set up for the event, were all dismantled and packed away.
After his walk, Nik Wallenda told us what's next for him.
"I have permits to be the first person in the world to walk across the Grand Canyon," says Wallenda. "So that's a process we'll begin working on right now...and I would say within the next three to five years, I'll have accomplished that one as well."
It is fair to point out that was also his answer back in 2008, when Wallenda set a world record for riding a bike on a tightrope.

Since 1994, when Klaus Koch discovered the soft, silent and clean energy of the "Sterling" engine, he built, above all, machines that work with nothing more than hot air. Portrait of Klaus Koch shot against his will. Sometimes- Klaus Koch likes to provoke and let you see the dangerous side of technology.So he exaggerates bringing up the situation to an extreme. It is satire and it is not necessary to take it too serious. He does not criticize technology only the way of using it leading it to absurdity. The art of Klaus Koch is to have fun besides he his able to laugh about himself. He transforms garbage into something unexpected that surprises and stimulates with a type of vicious, satiric and sometimes kind sense of humour. He amuses himself working without being focused in the result or the advantage of his machines. It is the game who finds his sense in itself. For the construction of his machines he uses the silent and clean energy of the "Sterling motor" which functions with nothing more than hot air. In recent years, the advantages of Sterling engines have become significant which underlines also the actuality of the work of Klaus Koch.

(a) Purpose
The purposes of this section are
(1) to make financial assistance available on reasonable terms and conditions in rural areas and small towns to needy low-income individuals and their families who, with the benefit of technical assistance and overall guidance and supervision, participate in approved programs of mutual or self-help housing by acquiring and developing necessary land, acquiring building materials, providing their own labor, and working cooperatively with others for the provision of decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings for themselves, their families, and others in the area or town involved, and
(2) to facilitate the efforts of both public and private nonprofit organizations providing assistance to such individuals to contribute their technical and supervisory skills toward more effective and comprehensive programs of mutual or self-help housing in rural areas and small towns wherever necessary.
(b) Contract authority; establishment of Self-Help Housing Land Development Fund; authorization to make loans; conditions of loan
In order to carry out the purposes of this section, the Secretary of Agriculture (in this section referred to as the "Secretary") is authorized—
(A) to make grants to, or contract with, public or private nonprofit corporations, agencies, institutions, organizations, Indian tribes, and other associations approved by him, to pay part or all of the costs of developing, conducting, administering, or coordinating effective and comprehensive programs of technical and supervisory assistance which will aid needy low-income individuals and their families in carrying out mutual or self-help housing efforts, including the repair of units financed under section 1472 of this title that are being held in inventory; and
(B) to establish the Self-Help Housing Land Development Fund, referred to herein as the Self-Help Fund, to be used by the Secretary as a revolving fund for making loans, on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as he deems necessary, to public or private nonprofit organizations and to Indian tribes for the acquisition and development of land as building sites to be subdivided and sold to families, nonprofit organizations, and cooperatives eligible for assistance under section 1715z or 1715z–1 of title 12 or section 1490a of this title. Such a loan, with interest at a rate not to exceed 3 percent per annum, shall be repaid within a period not to exceed two years from the making of the loan, or within such additional period as may be authorized by the Secretary in any case as being necessary to carry out the purposes hereof: Provided, That the Secretary may advance funds under this paragraph to organizations receiving assistance under clause (A) to enable them to establish revolving accounts for the purchase of land options and any such advances may bear interest at a rate determined by the Secretary and shall be repaid to the Secretary at the expiration of the period for which the grant to the organization involved was made;
(2) to make grants to, or contract with, national or regional private nonprofit corporations to provide training and technical assistance to public or private nonprofit corporations, agencies, institutions, organizations, and other associations, including Indian tribes, eligible to receive assistance under this section in order to expand the use of authorities contained in this section and to improve performance; and
(3) to make loans, on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as he deems necessary, to needy low-income individuals participating in programs of mutual or self-help housing approved by him, for the acquisition and development of land and for the purchase of such other building materials as may be necessary in order to enable them, by providing substantially all of their own labor, and by cooperating with others participating in such programs, to carry out to completion the construction of decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings for such individuals and their families, subject to the following limitations:
(B) the amount of the loan, together with other funds which may be available, is adequate to achieve the purpose for which the loan is made;
(C) the credit assistance is not otherwise available on like terms or conditions from private sources or through other Federal, State, or local programs;
(D) the loan bears interest at a rate not to exceed 3 per centum per annum on the unpaid balance of principal, plus such additional charge, if any, toward covering other costs of the loan program as the Secretary may determine to be consistent with its purposes; and
(c) Considerations for financial assistance
In determining whether to extend financial assistance under paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary shall take into consideration, among other factors, the suitability of the area within which construction will be carried out to the type of dwelling which can be provided under mutual or self-help housing programs, the extent to which the assistance will facilitate the provision of more decent, safe, and sanitary housing conditions than presently exist in the area, the extent to which the assistance will be utilized efficiently and expeditiously, the extent to which the assistance will effect an increase in the standard of living of low-income individuals participating in the mutual or self-help housing program, and whether the assistance will fulfill a need in the area which is not otherwise being met through other programs, including those carried out by other Federal, State, or local agencies.
(d) "Construction" defined
As used in this section, the term "construction" includes the erection of new dwellings, and the rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, or improvement of existing structures.
(e) Establishment of appropriate criteria and procedures for determining eligibility of applicants
The Secretary is authorized to establish appropriate criteria and procedures in order to determine the eligibility of applicants for the financial assistance provided under this section, including criteria and procedures with respect to the periodic review of any construction carried out with such financial assistance.
(g) Deposit in Self-Help Fund; availability of amounts; assets
Amounts appropriated under this subsection, together with principal collections from loans made under appropriations in any previous fiscal years, shall be deposited in the Self-Help Housing Land Development Fund, which shall be available, to the extent approved in appropriation Acts, as a revolving fund for making loans under subsection (b)(1)(B) of this section; except that not more than $5,000,000 may be made available during fiscal year 1985. Instruments and property acquired by the Secretary in or as a result of making such loans shall be assets of the Self-Help Housing Land Development Fund.
(h) Rules and regulations
The Secretary shall issue rules and regulations for the orderly processing and review of applications under this section and rules and regulations protecting the rights of grantees under this section in the event he determines to end grant assistance prior to the termination date of any grant agreement.

I've written before on my lack of understanding about suicide. Singer Mindy McCready recently committed suicide, leaving behind two young kids. And she shot her dog too:
Authorities say they found country singer Mindy McCready's body on the same porch of her northern Arkansas home where her boyfriend was found dead of an apparent suicide last month.
Cleburne County Sheriff Marty Moss said Monday that it appears McCready killed her late boyfriend David Wilson's dog before she turned the gun on herself Sunday. The dog and McCready were found dead next to one another the home in Heber Springs. . .
I'm more sympathetic to the suicide of German billionaire Otto Beisheim, the founder of Metro. I understand his plight; Mindy's not so much.

MASSENA - Students and faculty from Clarkson University will visit Massena next week to study the feasibility of reconstructing the failed weir on the Grasse River as part of the downtown revitalization effort.
Students and faculty in Clarkson Universitys multi-disciplinary honors program will visit Massena at 1:30 p.m. May 8 to study the cost and environmental impact of a possible reconstruction of the Weir Dam. Mr. Hidy would like to see the weir repaired as part of the effort to revitalize downtown Massena.
He is interested in mending the dam to restore water levels, which could create boating, kayaking and other opportunities downtown and spur potential development.
I think its vital to the revitalization of the downtown community that it be repaired for aesthetics purposes, as well as to increase water levels for recreational purposes, and for (the Grasse River) not being a dried up river-bed in the summer months, Mr. Hidy said.
Mr. Hidy could not provide an estimate for the cost or timetable of the work to repair the weir, should the project pass numerous hurdles and move forward.
However, in 2011, Clarkson University Professor Emeritus Norbert L. Ackermann, whose expertise is in water resources, evaluated the site and Mr. Hidys idea. He called $1 million in repairs a conservative estimate and said the project would require a firm specializing in dam repairs. The village would also have to address the changes in the ecosystem since the weir first breached 15 years ago.
Mr. Hidy feels the repair of the weir in Massena is long overdue. In spring 1997, a large tree floating down the river after a thaw broke a hole through the center of the structure, which has remained breached since.
I think you would find many in the community who will find the repair of the weir long overdue, Mr. Hidy said. I cant imagine why for this many years the riverbed was allowed to dry up.
Mr. Hidy has suggested the weir repair was critical to efforts to revitalize Massena since he was a candidate for his seat on the village board.
The construction of the weir may come into conflict with an approximately $10 million project to restore local wildlife, as part of a multi-agency proposal to restore damage caused by decades of industrial pollutants.
The Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration project proposal comes on the heels of a $19.4 million settlement New York state and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe reached last month with Alcoa and Reynolds for damages to natural resources, fishing, and Mohawk culture resulting from the release of industrial pollutants into the St. Lawrence River environment since at least the late 1950s.
That plan calls for the removal of 10 dams along the St. Lawrence, St. Regis, Racquette and Grasse rivers in order to increase mobility and improve habitats for local fisheries.
Mr. Hidy feels the reconstruction of the weir shouldnt come into conflict with that project because the dam would incorporate fish ladders into its design. Theyre proven successful in allowing fish to navigate up and down river, Mr. Hidy said.
St. Regis Mohawk Tribal officials declined to comment on the proposals to reconstruct the dam.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) -- We now know the identity of the 17-year-old girl shot and killed inside her Upper Marlboro home. The principal of Charles Herbert Flowers High School says she is Amber Stanley -- a senior at that High School. She was an honor student who hoped to attend Harvard University next fall. Now, her classmates say they just can't believe the girl with the big smile is gone.
Early Thursday evening, a couple of dozen detectives were back out canvasing the neighborhood and passing out posters offering an up to $25,000 reward. Investigators admit that right now, the murder is a real mystery. They have no suspect, no motive, and no explanation.
News spread fast at Charles Herbert Flowers High School about Stanley's death. The principal made the official announcement at the start of the school day.
"Students came up and told stories of Amber and how she was an affable child with an infectious smile. And she will be missed by all a great deal," said principal Gorman Brown.
Prince George's County School Superintendent Dr. William R. Hite Jr. issued a statement after Amber Stanley's death:
The Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) community is tremendously saddened by the death of Charles Herbert Flowers High School honors student Amber Stanley. This young girl had a bright future ahead of her with dreams to pursue and goals to reach. We condemn the senseless act of violence that took her life and hope that law enforcement officials will quickly bring those responsible to justice. On behalf of our school system family, we extend our deepest sympathies to all who loved Amber and pray that your memories bring you comfort in this time of grief.
Neighbors told 9NEWS NOW they heard loud banging on the family'sdoor on Chartsey Street around 10Wednesday night. The 17- year-old victim was at the home with her sister, her sister's son and a foster child. Neighbors sayeveryone but the teen victim escaped through a window.Police say someone went to her bedroom and then shot Amber Stanley multiple times.
"We were told that somebody entered the home. We don't know, I don't want to say one person, I don't want to say more than one. We know it was at least one person that entered the home," said a police spokesperson.
A few hours later, Amber's mother, who was not home at the time of the shooting, watched as her daugher's body was taken from the home she grew up in.The family has lived in the home on Chartsey Street for at least 20 years.
"The investigation is ongoing," said Cpl. Larry Johnson with the Prince George's County Police Department. "Still looking for a suspect, still looking for a motive. If anyone has information, seen anything suspicious in the neighborhood, please provide that information to the police department."
Cpl. Johnson said you can call the department or call Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS with any information.
Several neighbors told WUSA that earlier this week police were called to the home regarding a complaint from the foster child. They say there had been friction building for months between that foster child and Amber's mother, but homicide detectives wouldn't talk about it, except to say that they are investigating every possible angle.

CLAYTON The annual Rock for the River concert here has some elements that are easily measured, such as attendance. For the past two years it has sold out the approximate 425-seat capacity of the Clayton Opera House.
Now its just a matter of how quickly it sells out, said Rock for the River founder Jay Nash.
Tickets went particularly swiftly for the 10th anniversary concert, which sold out on Thursday. But for those who will miss the celebration, a second wave of Rock for the River 10 has been scheduled.
Mr. Nash said Wednesday that he and some of his musical associates plan to put on a second Rock for the River 10 concert Sept. 1 at the opera house. Ticket information and full show details will be announced later.
Something more difficult to measure than attendance is the soul of Rock for the River, which keeps Mr. Nash and other musicians coming back each year to spread the word.
For the past nine years, Mr. Nash has brought a group of musicians from around the country for a night of music to support the work of the not-for-profit Save the River and its advocacy efforts to protect the St. Lawrence River. Last years concert raised approximately $15,000 for Save the River.
Weve certainly generated a good deal of capital, Mr. Nash said in a phone interview last week from Oklahoma, where he was on tour. But I think something more important is community enthusiasm and awareness, especially for the younger generation. Kids are making the transition from high school and college to conscientious adults while having Save the Rivers efforts being part of that perspective.
D. Lee Willibanks, executive director of Save the River, said the annual concert is more than a critical fundraiser.
It is also a very important community-building event that our supporters, young and older, summer and year-round residents, look forward to every year, he said. For many its the unofficial kickoff to the summer season and a great chance to celebrate what being on the river means.
Mr. Nash was living in Los Angeles nine years ago and found himself missing the Thousand Islands region, especially in the summers. Mr. Nash is a Syracuse-area native whose parents, Eric and Carol Dede Nash, moved to Clayton in 2005 after several years of summering in the community.
We certainly werent looking ahead 10 years when we put that first concert together, Mr. Nash said.
But one concert led to another.
The first exceeded our expectations and we had such a great time we figured wed do it again, Mr. Nash said. Its grown a little bit every year.
That growth is limited by the capacity of the opera house, but Mr. Nash has a hard time envisioning Rock for the River being held anyplace else.
We toyed with the idea of taking it to a larger venue, but we think the venue is as an important component as anything for the success of the concert, Mr. Nash said. The Clayton Opera House is a really special place. Were reluctant to have it anywhere else.
Mr. Nash has released four EPs and seven albums. His latest album, Letters From the Lost, was released in May. He wrote the music on Letters in Vermont, where he moved two years ago, but recorded the basic tracks in Los Angeles before finishing production on the album back in Vermont.
Working and creating in the somewhat isolated locale in Vermont had an influence on the music, Mr. Nash said. The biggest part was having the flexibility to create without neighbors to explore creative channels and to be as loud as I want without having to worry about waking anybody up.

The 10th anniversary lineup of Rock for the River features artists who have been to at least one of the benefit concerts. But Mr. Nash said there may be surprises.
Well see if any special guests show up, he said.
Among the performers:
Garrison Starr: Ms. Starr, a Mississippi native, blends a pop/rock/alternative sound with her country vocal background. Shes released seven albums and has opened for Melissa Etheridge. Her hit song Superhero aired on ABCs 1999 coverage of the Womens World Cup Soccer Tournament. Her seventh album, Amateur, was released last year. A song on it, I May Not Let Go, was used for the CW network comedy-drama Hart of Dixie.
Chris Pierce: Mr. Pierce, a Los Angeles native, was a struggling local singer/songwriter until he met pop icon Seal at a living room gig in 2005. He was invited to be the opening act on the British singers world tour. Since then, he also has opened tours and shows for B.B. King, Al Green, Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, Toots & The Maytals and others. His latest album, released in December, is When the Hustle Comes to a Stop.
The Milk Carton Kids: This duo of Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale is based in Eagle Rock, Calif. The minimalists use two vintage guitars (Mr. Ryan on a 1951 Gibson J45 and Mr. Pattengale on a Martin 0-15) and vocals to create Americana and folk music. The duo has released three albums. The latest is Ash and Clay. In March, the duo performed a song from it, Honey, Honey on TBSs Conan.
Eliza Moore: Using poetry and inspiration from writers such as W.B. Yeats, Pablo Neruda and Martin Luther King, Ms. Moore paints a musical picture of the text with her voice and violin. Her latest EP, Everything in Me, was produced by Mr. Nash.
Ms. Moore has recorded with the experimental electro-punk band Swedish Radar and played fiddle and sang with the bluegrass/roots group Althea Jean.

President Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel once said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Some wonder if that is what is taking place in Michigan. A new state law, Public Act 4, signed earlier this year, grants much wider powers to emergency financial managers (EFMs) who are assigned to fiscally troubled cities and school districts. Though the measure has drawn the criticism of political analysts as well as interest groups, proponents say it will prove to be beneficial to struggling cities, as drastic times call for drastic measures. While the law provides EFMs increased authority, the EFM program was not established under the new law. The Blaze explains:
The authority for the EFM program was established by Michigan's Public Act 72 that was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jim Blanchard in 1990. If the state determined that a serious financial problem existed in a municipality or school district, Public Act 72 granted the governor's office authority to intervene in local government administration as a last resort means of shoring up budget deficits. But as the state's budget problems only continued to grow, it became clear that while well-intentioned, the EFM would not have the necessary tools to be successful.
