For at least one night, the East Carbon City Council took a trip down Memory Lane.
At the city council meeting on Tuesday, council members were presented with pieces of history from the early days of the town when it was formerly known as Dragerton.
Johnny Martinez, an Orem resident, presented the city with over 20 copies of his book, East Carbon, Whispers From the Past Part I: The Land Before Coal, which is a complete history of the early days of East Carbon. Martinez, a former postmaster in Price for seven years, said that online sales of the book through his Website, which are selling for $10, from people outside of East Carbon have been "brisk and good."
Martinez grew up in Dragerton and over his life he developed a curious nature of wanting to read and learn more about the area he lived in. But his attempts came up short when he found nothing. "Being the curious person that I am, I decided to do some investigating concerning East Carbon and I found out that there was nothing out there," Martinez said. "So I set out to do some researching and the end result was this book."
Martinez told the council he hopes that the book will leave a lasting legacy in the area and that people are interested in learning more about the past.
"I have a natural curiosity and I love to do research. And I had a lot of time after retiring from the postal service at the age of 55," Martinez laughed.
Another piece of history that was presented to the city was a large framed map of East Carbon from its early days. Benjamin Johnson, a resident of Cedaredge, Colo., wanted to honor his father, Fred Johnson, a former Dragerton resident dating back to 1943, by presenting materials he found in an unusual place: his father's trash can. Inside of the large frame includes a map of East Carbon, original sewer and water manuals and fire reports that were gathered from Fred's work as a fire chief for about 20 years, according to Johnson.
"I thought this was worth some value to the citizens of East Carbon," Johnson said. "I'm very glad to return it to the city."
Like Martinez, Johnson said he wanted give the old pieces of history back to the city where they can be viewed and appreciated by residents and visitors to East Carbon.
"It took me long enough to get it back here," Johnson laughed. "We have quite a history here in East Carbon and I'm hoping that the citizens will be proud of it."

First played in the 17th Century between teams from opposite ends of the Derbyshire town, hundreds of participants aim to get a ball into one of two goals that are positioned three miles apart at either end of Ashboune. The match starts on Shrove Tuesday and can last until 10 PM. If a goal is scored before 6 PM, then a new ball is 'turned up' again and a new game started. If the goal is after 6 PM then the game ends for that day and continues into the next day - known as Ash Wednesday. The local butcher 'turned up' the ball today to begin play.

Property and sales tax revenue Jefferson County sets aside for funding state-mandated programs has increased by 7 percentage points since 2009, according to the last five annual budgets.
In the coming year, these programs will eat up almost half of total tax revenue and take 82.9 percent of the property tax levy.
Thats after more than $37 million in state and federal aid is subtracted from the $78.2 million it costs to provide essential services ranging from criminal prosecution to mental health and hygiene to Department of Social Services entitlements and programs.
According to the 2013 adopted budget, county governments have had to pay more and more money into mandated programs while the states contributions have remained flat.
According to Information Technology Director Gregory C. Hudson, its not just that the amount of local money demanded by the programs has increased, its the fact that the county has no say in how that money is spent.
In contrast to highway maintenance and Sheriffs Department road patrol, which are partially funded by state and federal money but completely under the jurisdiction of the county, state-mandated programs amount to a one-size-fits-all approach to local government that can become problematic when trying to tailor spending programs to specific communities.
In other parts of the state, requirements to fund state-mandated programs have landed local governments in dire fiscal straits.
A Dec. 28 report from state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli stated that many local governments have had to dip into reserve funds to make ends meet: A practice that is not sustainable in the long term, said Mr. DiNapoli.
While Jefferson Countys relatively robust $11 million reserve fund has kept the county out of hot water in these lean economic times, it is by no means a guarantee against financial trouble.
The New York State Association of Counties, an advocacy group for local government, has launched a campaign to encourage county officials and residents to petition state representatives for mandate reform.
The campaign, called the County 9 for 90, asks for reform in the nine major areas that, according to NYSAC, consume an average of 90 percent of the county property tax levy: Medicaid, public assistance/safety net, child welfare, preschool special education, early intervention, indigent defense, probation, youth detention and pensions.
According to the associations Roadmap for Mandate Relief, published in October, these reform measures include putting a cap on the amount local governments are required to contribute, placing the burden of funding some programs entirely on the state, and streamlining some programs by increasing the autonomy counties have in organizing operations.
According to Mr. Hudson, the relationship among state and federal aid, local tax revenue and state-mandated programs is a balancing act.
When the state gives mandate relief in one area, it often takes it back in another, he said. And when federal aid is reduced, the counties and state pick up more costs.
While county officials would like to see mandate relief in the coming years, it will likely come piecemeal and only after a protracted battle.
Legislator Scott A. Gray, chairman of the countys Finance and Rules Committee, said legislators were kicking and screaming for years over the associated cost for Medicaid, before the state agreed in 2005 to hold local costs to a 3 percent annual growth rate.
In 2012 the state enacted a new zero growth Medicaid cap, which wont be fully effective until 2015.
If the fight over the Medicaid cap is any indication, NYSAC has its work cut out for it.

LOWELL – Residents once again Monday night took on the issue of crime in Lowell.
For the past several months, numerous residents have been victims of burglaries. On Town Meeting Day, residents rejected the appropriation requested for law enforcement coverage by the Orleans County Sheriff Department, which means the department no longer serves the town. Voters will have an opportunity to reconsider their decision May 7. Until then, town officials and residents are looking for answers from the Vermont State Police.
NEWPORT, VT – Well, maybe not seven exactly. More like eleven female artists were on hand at the MAC Center (Memphremagog Arts Collaborative) on Main Street, Newport, on Saturday to demonstrate their craft and honor the only Vermont commemoration of SWAN Day.
This celebration, held in 23 countries, encourages people to "support women artists now." "The long term goal of SWAN Day," according to the center, "is to inspire communities to recognize and support women artists as a basic element of civic planning."
ORLEANS–After a year where wins were few and far between, the 2013 Lake Region baseball club is looking to their younger players to turn things around this season.
"We have a great young bunch of guys that want to come out and compete every day, so I am very excited about it." said head coach Eric Degre. "Indoor practices have been incredible. Our pitching is very strong, and it seems to me that we are going to be able to compete in every game this year.
WASHINGTON – Drivers going through any Northeast Kingdom town on any given day could very well see an out-of-town cruiser patrolling the streets and making traffic stops. It's all part of Operation Stone Garden.
The United States Department of Homeland Security started funding Operation Stone Garden in 2008. Initially, the program was restricted to states that border other countries. The federal government later expanded it to states along the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
BURLINGTON - The former office manager of Delabruere's Auto Sales in Newport denied embezzlement-related charges during her arraignment in U.S. District Court in Burlington yesterday. Manon Cote, 45, of Newport, pleaded not guilty to a three-count indictment charging her with mail and wire fraud and forging checks while employed by Delabruere's Auto Sales in Newport.
ALBANY – Jerry Johnson, a former educator at Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts and former tennis pro, recently released his second book of poems, "Up the Creek Without a Saddle."
Johnson, also known as the Creek Road Poet, writes about what he sees and what is special in his heart. A dream of his was fulfilled when Jon Gailmor and Pete Sutherland, two well-known Vermont musicians, took 16 of his book's 99 poems and set them to music to produce a CD. When the book is purchased on Johnson's website, the CD is included for free.
Dubois–– William R. "Bill", 54, of Newport, VT, son of Richard and Nancy DuBois of Randolph, VT, died Saturday evening, April 6, 2013 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.

Moot Court Competitions
At Saint Louis University School of Law, we provide our students with on-going opportunities to hone the skills necessary for success beyond the classroom. For this reason, activities like competitions are essential in preparing students for experiences found in the real-world setting. Moot Court competitions are a regular opportunity for SLU LAW students in a variety of legal areas.
Appellate Advocacy Moot Court Competition
Under the direction of Professor Paige Canfield, the Appellate Advocacy program seeks to sharpen a student's skills in research, analysis, writing and oral argument. Appellate Advocacy at SLU LAW begins with Moot Court I and II courses.
In Moot Court I, students are assigned a team, and with the assistance of Moot Court student judges, must research and prepare an appellate brief as well as present oral arguments. The student judges, a group of third-year students previously a part of the program, work in tandem with the Director of Legal Research and Writing Chris Rollins, to review the student teams as they engage in competition.
The top 20 students from Moot Court I are invited to participate in Moot Court II. Participants in Moot Court II engage in quarter-final, semi-final and final rounds of arguments. The final arguments are held before a large audience at the School of Law and are judged by visiting justices and judges from the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals, the Missouri Supreme Court, the Missouri Court of Appeals and other federal and state courts. Finalists in Moot Court II are eligible to compete in the National Moot Court competition.
Jessup Moot Court Competition
In this competition, students are required to write a brief and argue a hypothetical case pertaining to international law as if arguing in front of the International Court of Justice in the Hague, Netherlands. Selected through an internal competition, the School's team consists of second and third year students. The winning team from the Midwest Regional Competition then proceeds to the international round, pitting them against the winners from the other eleven U.S. regional competitions and national competitions in over 50 different countries.
Intellectual Property Moot Court Competition
Law students participate in two intellectual property moot court competitions: The Giles Sutherland Rich Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the American Intellectual Property Law Association, and the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the Brand Names Education Foundation. In both competitions, students are required to write a brief and argue a hypothetical case pertaining to patent or trademark law, as if they were arguing in front of a federal appellate court. The School's teams consist of second and third year students who are selected, through an internal competition, to represent the School of Law at the regional level of each competition. The winning teams from those competitions may then proceed to a national competition.
National Health Law Moot Court Competition
The competition allows students to write an appellate brief on a developing area of health law and policy, then argue both sides of the appeal before faculty and law trained administrators, distinguished alumni and, eventually, at the national competition. In 2006, one of the two SLU teams won the national competition. In addition, the two SLU teams won first and second place in the best brief category. In 2008 and 2009, the SLU LAW teams have placed in the top eight teams in the competition. The health law moot court team is coached by Amy Sanders, JD, Assistant Director of the Center for Health Law Studies.
Frederick Douglass Moot Court Competition
One of the cornerstones of the National Black Law Student Association's programming is the FDMCC. Since its inception in 1975, the FDMCC has consistently provided NBLSA members with excellent training in appellate advocacy through oral argument and brief writing. Each year, between 100 and 125 teams compete across the nation within the six Regional Competitions, culminating in the top three teams from each region competing at the national level during NBLSA's Annual Convention. FDMCC provides competitors with the opportunity to argue issues that are at the forefront of debate in the legal profession.
In 2011 the SLU team won the National Championship, and Kirsten Staples ('11) won the national best oralist honor. The SLU BLSA team is coached by Adjunct Professor Sheena R. Hamilton, J.D. ('10), an employment and labor attorney at Armstrong Teasdale, LLP.

Tinned Mackerel Curry
Heat oil in a dutch oven or large pot. Lower heat to medium and add onions and cook until slightly translucent, approx. 5-7 minutes. Add curry paste and sautee for 1 minute. Add potatoes and chopped tomato and and toss until all coated with the curry paste and cook over medium-high heat for 8 minutes (add small amounts of water if it starts to burn or stick to the bottom of the pan). Lower the heat to medium, add enough water to cover the potatoes and simmer with the lid slightly ajar. In the meantime, drain and clean the mackerel, remove the bones but you can keep the skin. When the potatoes are cooked half way through, add the mackerel to the pot and incorporate into the mixture taking care not to break up the pieces of the fish (this would drive my mother crazy when I did this). Cook potato and fish mixture over low-medium heat without the lid until the liquid has reduced by half (you want a thick sauce and not soup) and potatoes are fully cooked and soft. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve over basmati rice or with roti.

STOCKTON, Calif. (KXTV/WUSA9)- Nearly two dozen seventh and eighth graders from Stockton watched a year's worth of planning turn sour because of the federal government shutdown.
The students from Benjamin Holt Preparatory Academy took a red eye flight to New York Sunday night and visited Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty on Monday. But they awoke Tuesday to find their scheduled visit to Independence Hall in Philadelphia had to be scrapped because many federal landmarks are closed.
Wednesday's planned tour of the National Archives and U.S. Capitol was cancelled along with Friday's trip to the Smithsonian complex.
Tuesday, parent and program leader Rich Allyn scrambled to find alternate attractions not under federal control. Stacey Nunes said her 13-year-old son, Andrew, raised the entire $2,038 cost of the trip himself.
"I'm outraged that this has happened to them, that this once-in-a-lifetime experience has taken a completely different turn," she said.
Wednesday, the group was able to find other places tovisitin the D.C. area and in Virginia. Students were supposed to go to Arlington Cemetery for a wreath-laying on Wednesday morning and then visit Mount Vernon. Allyn says they are also going to get to see Monticello on Thursday.
"We've seen all kinds of things and we are planning on seeing muchmore. Sure,there may be the main nuts and bolts of Washington, D.C. that are shut down but there's so much more that we've adjusted our schedule to be able to have our kids see it," says Allyn. He says they have a full schedule now.
About the shutdown's impact on the trip, Allyn says it's a history lesson for the children. He tells us, "I think if they were sitting at home doing nothing, they wouldn't even know that the government shut down. But they can look back 20 years from now and go, 'oh, I remember when they shut down. I was inD.C. at that time and this is how it affected me.'"
Despite the shutdown, Allyn says, "We aremoving forward and we're having a fantastic time here in D.C."

Comments about Horny Toad Oolong Sleeveless Dress (Women's):
In the summer, I wear this dress all. the. time.
The Tencel/Organic cotton blend is what makes it the minimalists dream dress- you barely feel it on your body while wearing it and it moves when you move.
The combination of the asymmetrical neck line and knee length makes this dress easy in any social setting. Usually, I pair it with a light cardigan for the South's all too low A/C settings. Goes great with flats, Chaco's, and wedges- Dress it up or down!

Comments about Horny Toad Oolong Sleeveless Dress (Women's):
The fabric weight was a little on the light side. It's a good length for me though as I'm tall and it hits a couple inches above the knee but I expect it will only be good as a cover up or as a very informal summer dress. You had better be in shape to wear this- it won't let anything hide.

|Commissioners Mull Watauga Transportation Plan
|Written by Gary Childers
|Friday, 22 March 2013 06:20
Phil Trew from the High Country Council of Governments presented a county wide comprehensive transportation plan developed by the High Country Rural Transportation Planning Organization to the Watauga Commissioners during their Tuesday evening meeting.
"The idea was to do a comprehensive plan that included the entire county. We looked at roads, we looked at transit, bicycles, pedestrian, and highway." Conner Sellers, with the North Carolina Department of Transportation's planning division, presented the major recommendations contained in the plan indicating they had not been prioritized. The recommendations include improving Hwy 321/421 west of Boone from the 105 bypass to the 321/421 intersection, Hwy 194 north of Boone to Howard's Creek Road, Hwy 105 south to Avery County, Hwy 221 from Deep Gap to Jefferson, and the NC 105 bypass. The improvement to these roads consists primarily of widening to three or four lanes and adding bike lanes. Additionally the plan contains recommendations for developing a new transit route between Blowing Rock and Boone, constructing a four lane 421 bypass from the east of Boone to west of Boone, making pedestrian improvements to the Middle Fork Greenway, and incorporating Boone's pedestrian plan into the comprehensive plan. The inclusion of the Boone bypass, which has been under discussion for many years, brought the question from Commissioner David Blust, "If we were to vote on this—which is not going to happen tonight—and adopt this plan, does that mean it's cast in stone?" Trew explained that the plan had been presented to the town of Blowing Rock and would be presented to the towns of Seven Devils, Beech Mountain, and Boone in the near future. It would then come back to the Commissioners for action in April. He explained that if any of the governmental agencies do not approve the plan the Department of Transportation will follow the most recently approved one. Mr. Trew also assured Commissioner Blust that approval of the plan did not stop opportunity for input or revision in the future. He indicated that the High Country Transportation planning group hopes to take this plan, with the county and towns' governing bodies' approval, to the Rural Transportation Planning Organization's May meeting for its endorsement and recommendation to the State Board of Transportation.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
People have migrated to Carbon County for all types of reasons.
Some people had ancestors who came to the local area because of the coal industry or the railroad. Others came to the county to work at the college or at a power plant.
But some people passing though the county decided to stay in the area, including Greg Maughan, the principal at Wellington Elementary.
I was teaching in Washington state and the superintendent of San Juan School District and I had been in touch about taking a job there, stated Maughan. So my wife and I came down to look at what they had. As we drove down Price Canyon and it opened up into Helper and the valley my wife said Why cant we find you a job someplace like this?
Maughan turned down the job in San Juan and went back to Washington, but a short time later his wife said that she had spotted an ad for an assistant principals job in Price.
So that is how we ended up here, because it is where we really wanted to be, he said.
Maughan graduated from Southern Utah University a number of years ago, after having spent his teenage years in the Bay area of California and in Washington state. For three years after graduation he spent his time teaching in a junior high in Davis School District and then took the job in Washington. Up until this past spring when he was assigned the principals job at Wellington Elementary, he had always dealt with secondary students and teachers.
Coming into this there is so much I dont know, he said. But the teachers here at Wellington have been awesome. They have already taught me so much about elementary education.
And for not having spent a day in the school with kids and all the teachers as of yet, he was still able to rattle off the names of his staff, including those who are new to the school. In kindergarten this year, Brenna Penry and Starla Pyper will be in charge. In first grade will be Carol Montoya, and Carol Flower as well as Dina Wise who is new to the school this year. In second grade he listed three new teachers to the school, Melody Anderson, Stacy Basinger and Diedre Judd. Third grade will have Carol Carlson and Holly Hall instructing the students.
In the fourth grade Karolyn Lewandowski and Diana Wood will be joined by Sharon Manchester.
In the fifth grade Gail Jewell and Mark Martinez, the only male teacher in the school, will give the students their lessons. In the sixth grade Melanie Huff and Joann Zwahlen will teach the oldest students.
I just cant believe how intense the teachers at this school are, he said. They are so dedicated and I am learning from them everyday.
That was evident as he was being interviewed in his office. As he answered questions for the Sun Advocate, teachers popped in and out asking questions and talking with him about the coming year.
And as with all elementary schools in the district this year, that intensity from teaching staffs will center on reading.
A reading grant that will go on for three years to raise the literacy level of the kids in the district is being implemented along with a new program of reading competency.
Because of that grant we will have a reading coach (Tami King) and an interventionist (Lee Averritt) who will help kids that are struggling, said Maughan.
Everyone has received some very intense training on the program so we expect it to bring some real results. The goal is to have every student reading at grade level by the third grade, and then to keep them at their grade level all the way through school, continued the principal.
Wellington Elementary will also be utilizing a grant for a similar program for fourth through sixth grade students in math. But there is even more to what will be going on than that.
One of the emphases of this year will be physical fitness, Maughan said smiling. Where I taught in Washington we had a lot of student health programs, things about living healthy lifestyles. These programs were actually student directed. That is what I want to see us do here, too.
But the key to success said Maughan is the parents involvement in these programs and helping the school staff from home.
The principal said reading truly is fundamental to all education and that parents must be involved in their kids reading situation.
What I would like to see is that when these kids go to Mont Harmon Junior High they are a notch above the average student both socially and academically, he said.
When asked what parents will be able to expect from him as the principal, Maughan had several definite answers to the question.
I plan on taking a real interest in peoples kids lives and their education, he said. And I will try to help them with their students that are struggling as much as possible.
Maughan also has pretty high expectations for himself.
I want to be in every classroom in this building, every day, he says. I need to be an instructional leader.
So the Warriors have a new principal, a number of new teachers and several new programs that the students will be experiencing during the upcoming school year.

WASHINGTON (USA TODAY) -- President Obama told Congress during tonight's State of the Union Address that he wants to work with them on plans to improve the nation's economy -- but he also vowed to take executive action if necessary.
While asking Congress for legislation on an immigration bill and a minimum wage hike, Obama also announced a variety of executive orders, including one to increase the minimum wage for some federal contract workers from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour.
"America does not stand still, and neither will I," Obama said. "So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that's what I'm going to do."
One theme of the speech: Income inequality. Obama promoted the idea that the federal government can help create economic opportunity through job training and college education programs.
And he defended his embattled health care law, telling Republican critics: "If you have specific plans to cut costs, cover more people, increase choice -- tell America what you'd do differently."
Mocking a series of House GOP votes to repeal the law, Obama said: "The first forty were plenty."
FULL TEXT: Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address
STORY: Obama to raise minimum wage for some federal workers
VIDEO: The State of the Union in the Obama years: A mash-up
After Obama's speech, the formal Republican Party response will be delivered by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., who plans to say that "too many people are falling further and further behind because, right now, the president's policies are making people's lives harder."
Rodgers will also say that the "Republican vision" is "one that empowers you, not the government," according to excerpts released by the party.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Obama should use his speech to promote issues like free trade, the Keystone oil pipeline, and House GOP jobs bills that are pending in the Democratic-run Senate.
Boehner also warned Obama against executive overreach, saying that "we're just not going to sit here and let the president trample all over us."
In pledging to work with Congress, Obama called for a "year of action" and again asked House Republicans to pass a bill to "fix our broken immigration system." The Democratic-run Senate passed an immigration bill last year.
In urging Congress to increase the minimum wage for all Americans, Obama told lawmakers: "Say yes. Give America a raise." Some Republicans have said a minimum wage hike will discourage employers from hiring more people.
Another Obama request of Congress: an extension of unemployment insurance that lapsed at the turn of the year.
Obama also announced an executive order creating a new savings program for workers whose employers don't offer retirement plans. Under the proposal, they could deduct a percentage of their paychecks to buy Treasury bonds that could eventually be turned into Individual Retirement Accounts.
Before vowing to assert executive authority, Obama said he is offering plans "to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class. Some require Congressional action, and I'm eager to work with all of you."
Obama cited the rancorous politics of recent times. He said it threatens economic recovery, and has even prevented the government from carrying out its most basic functions, alluding to the partial government shutdown in October and recent disputes over raising the debt ceiling.
He also praised a recent budget deal as a sign that the parties can work together.
At one point, Obama paid tribute to both Boehner -- and to himself -- by saying the story of America is "how the son of a barkeeper is Speaker of the House," and "how the son of a single mom can be President of the greatest nation on Earth."
Touching on concerns that the gap between the rich and everyone else is growing, Obama said that "corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher," but the wages of average workers "have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled."
He told Congress "our job is to reverse these trends."
That includes redressing inequality for women, Obama said, endorsing equal pay for equal work, and help for child rearing. Referring to a television drama about life in the 1960s, Obama said that, "it is time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a Mad Men episode."
Obama also discussed his energy and climate change policies. On the latter topic, Obama said that "climate change is a fact" and added: "When our children's children look us in the eye and ask if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say, 'yes, we did.'"
The State of the Union also gave Obama a chance to outline his foreign policy agenda. He is expected to discuss the winding down of combat operations in Afghanistan that end late this year, and ongoing negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.
Hanging over this particular State of the Union speech: congressional and state elections coming in less than 10 months.
Over the past year, Obama has seen his approval ratings fall to percentages in the low 40s in the wake of problems with health care and an uneven economic recovery.
As with previous State of the Union addresses, this one features guests invited to illustrate some of the president's polices, such as health care, immigration, gay rights and responses to national tragedies.
Obama's guests today include two survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings, openly gay basketball player Jason Collins, General Motors CEO Mary Barra, the governor of Kentucky and an immigrant brought illegally to the United States as a child.
Congressional Republicans will also have guests, including some who say they have lost coverage or been forced to pay more because of the new health care law.
In the days ahead, Obama will follow up his speech with traditional post-State of the Union trips to try to sell the ideas he discusses.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the president will speak at a Costco store in Lanham, Md., near Washington, D.C.; a steel plant in West Mifflin, Pa., near Pittsburgh; a General Electric gas engine facility in Waukesha, Wis., near Milwaukee; and McGavock High School in Nashville.

On January 31 Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) introduced his National Right-to-Work Act, S.204, subtitled "A bill to preserve and protect the free choice of individual employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations, or to refrain from such activities." His timing couldn't be any better.
One year earlier, Indiana joined the growing list of right to work (RTW) states, followed in December by heavily-unionized Michigan. That means that forced unionism is still legal in 26 states, but that number is dwindling.
Properly defined, RTW laws are still government intervention into what used to be private matters between employers and employees, but they have the saving grace of lifting the most onerous parts of labor union agreements which demand either the complete exclusion of non-union workers from being employed by a union shop or requiring any non-union workers to support the union with their dues anyway. In his announcement, Paul stated:
Every American worker deserves the right to freedom of association — and I am concerned that the 26 states that allow forced union membership and dues infringes on these workers' rights.
Right to work laws ensure that all Americans are given the choice to refrain from joining or paying dues to a union as a condition for employment.
Nearly 80 percent of all Americans support these principles and so I have introduced a national Right to Work Act that will require all states to give their workers the freedom to choose.
Paul's bill says nothing about collective bargaining, but if passed it will weaken unions' present limitations on workers' freedom to stay out of a union if they wish.

On June 13, 2007, the New Jersey Township of Manalapan filed a malpractice suit against its former attorney Stuart Moskovitz, alleging misconduct regarding the Township's purchase of polluted land in 2005. The decision to file suit was met by a lively debate in the regional press and among local bloggers. One blogger who was particularly critical of the Township, of this and other decisions, was Blogspot blogger "datruthsquad" (http://datruthsquad.blogspot.com). Inexplicably, attorneys for the Township issued a subpoena to Google (owner of Blogspot) demanding that the identity of this anonymous critic be turned over, along with datruthsquad's contact information, blog drafts, e-mails, and "any and all information related to the blog." Despite repeated requests from EFF (now representing datruthsquad) to explain how this could be anything other than an attempt to out a vocal critic, attorneys for the Township refused to withdraw the subpoena and informed EFF that it could go to court to object to the subpoena if it so chose. On November 28, 2007, EFF filed a motion to quash the subpoena and for a protective order to prevent the Township from issuing similar subpoenas in the future.
On December 21, 2007, Superior Court Judge Terence Flynn granted EFF's motion to quash the Township's September 26th subpoena seeking the identity of datruthsquad and denied a motion by the township to authorize future subpoenas, finding that the subpoena amounted to "an unjust infringement on the blogger's First Amendment rights" and that the blogger "has a right not to be drawn into the litigation."
This is plaintiff's "letter brief" in opposition to Defendant's notice of motion for sanctions.

Delta mayor calls road use fees unfair
Charging a per kilometre fee to drive on Metro Vancouver roads would be unfair to residents South of the Fraser who typically drive longer distances.
That's the concern raised by Delta Mayor Lois Jackson over the proposed use of mobility pricing to help pay for the transit expansion plan adopted by Metro mayors.
"We on our side of the river have a lot longer distances to go," Jackson said.
"We're going to be penalized to get to Vancouver or Richmond where most things take place. We're going to pay more because we have to travel further."
Jackson said she'd rather see all bridges tolled at a low rate instead, but conceded it's difficult to design a system fair to everyone.
"I would even rather see a vehicle levy than charging by the number of miles you drive."
Jackson was absent from the June 12 mayors' council vote on adopting the plan because a family member was in hospital.
But she said she supports the plan, even though it offers Delta little beyond an eventual B-Line express bus route on Scott Road.
"We have to do something," Jackson said, adding she is taking a regional view of the benefits from the proposed $7.5-billion expansion, which would bring a light rail network to Surrey, in addition to region-wide bus upgrades and a SkyTrain extension on Broadway.
"If good things happen along King George Boulevard or Fraser Highway or in White Rock or Langley, it's going to be good for Delta and good for everybody south of the river."
Most other mayors strongly support the use of mobility pricing to fund TransLink over the longer term.
They say time-of-day road use fees are the only payment mechanism that can also reduce congestion by shifting some demand away from peak times.
But it's unclear whether a 2015 referendum 'Yes' vote would give authority to implement such a system as it would still be undefined.
Port Coquitlam Mayor and Metro board chair Greg Moore argues one successful referendum should be enough – mobility pricing shouldn't have to pass a second one later on.
But mayors council chair Richard Walton doubts that would fly with the province, because voters wouldn't know exactly what they'd get.
It's expected to take several years to flesh out how a comprehensive road pricing system would technically work and what rates would be charged.
An appendix to the mayors' plan suggests a two cent per kilometre mobility pricing rate might be applied to generate $250 million annually. It also suggests road pricing be paired with a reduction in the gas tax, which has waned as a useful source of revenue due to more efficient vehicles and some drivers buying gas outside of Metro.
The concept depends on the province agreeing to reform its current tolling policy and allow such a major policy shift.

MASSENA As the federal Environmental Protection Agency and Perras Environmental continue work on what EPA Project Manager Anne E. Kelly called the largest remediation project in the nation, Ms. Kelly said the project is on track and was not affected by the recent government shutdown.
We were considered exempt from the shutdown, she said. There was absolutely no change to me other than I didnt get paid during that time.
Because of the essential nature of the remediation project at the site of the former General Motors plant, Ms. Kelly said, she was one of only two project managers not furloughed during that time.
St. Lawrence County Legislator Jason A. Clark, who chaired last weeks meeting, said he was worried about losing the on-site lab, which would have really slowed things down.
I was too, Ms. Kelly said.
She also said the project has been aided by the weather this summer, which was a sharp contrast to the spring.
Its been perfect conditions for the excavation, she said. We had a tough spring, but weve made up for that time.
The success of the project so far, Ms. Kelly said, has been thanks in large part to Perras Environmental.
Thats a point not lost on St. Lawrence County Legislator and Task Force Chairman Anthony J. Arquiett.
It is with no surprise to me personally, that now well into the third phase of remediation, Perras Environmental have demonstrated their ability to get the job done in a safe, professional and timely manner, he said.
The contractor has continued to perform really well, Ms. Kelly said. Theyre almost digging it up faster than they can get rid of it.
Once the contaminated soil is dug up, Ms. Kelly said, it is packed into large canisters, loaded onto trains and shipped off site.
This excavation has been very challenging, because its really mucky and disgusting, she said, adding workers also have encountered a few surprises along the way, such as the discovery of an oven and even a large concrete vault that were buried on the property.
Ms. Kelly also again mentioned the assistance provided by wood pellets from Curran Renewable Energy, noting that to date nearly 1,100 tons of pellets have been used.
During a previous meeting, Ms. Kelly said the pellets help to absorb the sludge, creating solid brick-like blocks that are much easier to move. She also said the excavation stage of the project is nearing its completion.
We hope to be done with excavating by mid-November, she said, adding that the hauling of waste from the site likely will continue until February.
Its going as well as it could possibly go, Ms. Kelly said.
Mr. Arquiett agreed, disputing Town Supervisor Joseph D. Grays claims that the task force had been spinning its wheels for the past two years.
Contrary to Supervisor Grays reference to our task force spinning its wheels, our activities have been in direct relationship to the remedial process at the former General Motors site, he said. Weve worked hard on behalf of all the affected communities to keep both the workforce as well as the actual contracting here locally. We will now be focusing more toward collectively creating a vision for the future of the property and will again be soliciting involvement from all stakeholders.
Mr. Arquiett said that while it may appear the task force or RACER (Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response) Trust have not done a lot of work, that is definitely not the case.
The marketing strategies most often present a need for privacy, as the task force is aware, which makes identifying our progress and involvement publicly very difficult. RACER Trust has been very good to work with and lend an open ear to our ideas and concerns, he said.

If I cancel my Kajabi membership, will I lose all my data? As with most software-as-a-service platforms, when you cancel your account all your private data will be inaccessible, but don't worry, before canceling you have the opportunity to download all your data so you can take it with you.

Bo Xilai
A Chinese policeman blocks photos being taken outside Zhongnanhai... News PhotoBeijing,Being Fired,Bo Xilai,China - East Asia,Chinese Communist Party,Geographical Locations,Headquarters,Horizontal,Police Force,Politburo,Politician,Politics,ZhongnanhaiPhotographer MARK RALSTONCollection: AFP 2012 AFPA Chinese policeman blocks photos being taken outside Zhongnanhai which serves as the central headquarters for the Communist Party of China after the sacking of politician Bo Xilai from the countries powerful Politburo, in Beijing on April 11, 2012. Once a rising political star known for busting gangs and reviving Maoist ideals, China's Bo Xilai has suffered a dramatic fall from grace that now sees him linked to a suspected murder. The 62-year-old was once a leading contender to enter the top rungs of power, but in a stunning reversal of fortune he was sacked as head of Chongqing city and late Tuesday suspended from the Communist Party's powerful Politburo.

Prefab Design: 9 Cutting-Edge Modular Homes
The table saw is the beating, buzzing heart of the wood shop. It rips, crosscuts, and miters, enabling a build as simple as a toolbox or as complex as a boat. Likewise, for home remodeling, the table saw cuts trim pieces (simple) and helps in constructing extension jambs to fit windows in thick, energy-efficient walls (complex). The new breed of table saw is tougher, more capable, and more accurate than older models, with expanding tables, sliding supports, improved rip fences, rolling stands, and 10-inch blades driven by 15-amp motors. We tested almost a dozen brands, cutting 2x lumber, plywood, and oak. Here's what we found.
Weight (With Rolling Stand): 113 pounds
No-Load RPM: 3650
Max Rip, Right of Blade: 25 inches
Price: $760
Superbly designed and detailed, the Bosch proved to be the test's most sophisticated saw, complete with a digital readout on the fence and a stable, rolling stand. The saw has cutting power to spare and dead-on accuracy in ripping, beveling, and crosscutting. The large, well-positioned handle for the sliding-table lock made the tool very user-friendly. It was also the only saw in the test with an arbor-lock button, a feature so handy it ought to be an industry standard, in our humble opinion.
Dislikes: Unlocking the table causes a pop-up tab to rise above the cutting surface. You can easily hit the tab when sliding the fence.

5 mg melatonin taken 30-45 minutes before your head hits the pillow.--B.G.--
"One of the best ways to ensure insomnia, I've found, is to lie there worrying about not getting enough sleep!"So true.I tried the Midnite Sleep Saturday night. I did what for me is a tough hike and was definitely worn out. I took 2 about an hour before I went to sleep and another right before. I went to sleep pretty quickly after a little reading. I toss and turn a lot and I did wake up briefly when I did so, but went back to sleep quickly. Woke up feeling good. So while it wasn't like sleeping at home, it was a big improvement.
Edited by RogerDodger on 07/10/2015 07:09:36 MDT.
Three things to suggest. Besides the obvious idea to hike farther and longer before setting up camp - typically hikers should be up with the morning light or before, hiking long days, then going to sleep out of necessity, but you probably already do this. However it is really hard for some people to sleep in a new or unfamiliar place, which happens to me as well. Maybe this is your problem? It happens when camping, when in a hotel, when in someone's bed that you've never slept before, etc. When you find yourself in that situation only three things will help. 1 - repetition, doing it until you get used to it. 2 - camping next to running water to create white noise and let your mind stop thinking about all the little sounds around you. 3 - xxxDeleted

I'm also a light sleeper who struggles with the issue. The Big Agnes Q-core 3.5" pad is the most comfortable thing I've EVER slept on camping, bar none. Thermarest doesn't make anything that compares, in my experience. The biggest one (25 inches wide) weighs around 36 ounces, sacrilege to some here perhaps, but it sure is comfortable. I think they've come out with a lighter version now as well. Getting used to earplugs helps me tremendously. If I really have insomnia, I get up and read for a while and try to sleep again late.Being really exhausted helps but that's not really a strategy for sleeping, is it? Best of luck!
Navy Seals take Ambien. Cowboy up and just take it then pass out. But "Be sure you have 8 hours for sleep." Then there is always liquor. Dr. Daniels or Dr. Beam are usually a good bet.
"Navy Seals take Ambien." Watch the movie "Role Models" for an Ambien demonstration!It's common for me to wake up 3 or more times when camping. Like Rodger mentioned, it is 10x worse when I'm camping with my kids. Benadryl is also rebranded as a sleep aid. I've heard that it has the opposite effect on some people (wired vs coma) but it completely knocks me out. I have given myself the trail name "Snot Rocket Express" due my allergies when hiking so this has a couple benefits for me. The only problem is that I wake up dehydrated and have to add another liter of water to my morning ritual.
I struggle with getting a good night's sleep while backpacking too.I do my best to wear myself out (20-25 miles days are common), I've dialed my sleep system in to the most comfortable set-up I can find (katabatic quillts, exped ul syn mat, exped ul pillow), I've tried melatonin, tylenol pm, benadryl, etc. Nothing seems to knock me out and get a solid night's sleep like I can at home.And it's not like I'm not used to sleeping outdoors, or in a tent, or in a sleeping bag. A few years ago I traveled for about 6 months and spent every night except for about 10 in my bag/tent. I still get out for at least an overnighter just about every month.I get enough sleep to still feel pretty good the next day, but there's a couple of long bouts of being wide awake in the middle of the night for an hour or so each time. I spend the time listening to the surroundings, listening to music, reading an e-book on my phone or studying my map. Eventually I sack out again.
My two standbys are beta blockers and a bandanna over my eyes. Benadryl works but leaves me feeling groggy if I try to wake up early.
Being further north dawn is about 5 am and dusk 9 or later so this leads to long hiking days. I find getting up right at dawn even slightly before will leave me tired when night comes. Usually to drive to trailheads the first day I am up at 5 as well. I run into problems if I sleep in, the I cant get to sleep or wake up more. So getting up early is key for me
This knocks my butt out. Though the resultant snore might not work for close proximity neighbors!Regards!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my method and it works every time.1. Lay down in sleeping bag or quilt.2. Close eyes.3. Done. I am sleeping.
Magnesium, especially the form Magnesium Chloride , often referred to as Magnesium Oil { it isn't an oil but feels like one } applied trans-dermal to your skin will put you into a sound sleep daily for about a month when you apply it -after that time you become accustomed to it and the effect is diminished.Other forms of Magnesium can induce laxative effects.It is implicated in Calcium uptake and nervous system health as well as cell division.It lowers blood pressure after about a month of daily application. There is no downside to it -it is cheap, and is a very common deficiency since industrial farming was introduced in the 40's.It has a calming effect and reduces muscle spasms and relieves arterial blood flow. Since there is no money to be made from it it is not of concern to people who sell Pharma for profit.
Edited by Meander on 03/16/2013 19:00:15 MDT.
Remember the danger in mixing benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) with alcohol drinks. Both depress your breathing in an additive way.
I find the following works:1.) High milage - this is different for each of us, but for me 15 miles is good and 20 miles is my max. 2.) Routine - I follow the same routine each night. I break for dinner on the trail around 4 to 5pm. Eat, clean up, pack up, and then hike until dusk. Make camp, set aside my evening snack of chocolate, hang my food, and tuck in by dark. I do my audio journal on my iPhone, then play Texas Hold'em or cribbage until I can't keep awake. 3.) Comfortable sleep gear - Exped UL 7 mat, Exped UL pillow, a nice Feathered Friends bag, merino sleeping cloths. I have a lot of weight tied up in my sleep system. 4.) Booze - I plan on about 2 oz per night carried in a recycled water bottle. The last few years my sleeping has been great, averaging about 9 to 10 hours a night, even during storms. I got 11 hours in a couple of times last season.
