In 1985, the U.S. Supreme Court issued Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank of Johnson City, 473 U.S. 172, a landmark decision (as Supreme Court decisions often are) that drastically slashed the number of federal takings claims. In Williamson County, the Supreme Court held that courts lack jurisdiction over federal regulatory takings claims unless a final decision has been issued and the property owner has exhausted all "adequate State procedures." The Supreme Court also clarified that exhaustion of adequate State procedures generally requires pursuing a State law takings claim in State court. As a result of Williamson County, courts have been dismissing federal takings claims left and right, finding that the claim was not ripe, moot, or sometimes both all at the same time. Needless to say, over the years the Williamson County roadblock has been a thorn in the side of numerous property owners seeking just compensation.
However, less than two weeks ago, in Horne v. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Supreme Court carved out an exception to Williamson County. This week, perhaps emboldened by the Supreme Court's recent decision, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California permitted a federal takings claim to proceed despite plaintiffs' failure to pursue a takings claim in State court.
In Valerio v. City of San Diego, the plaintiffs, who specialized in outdoor advertising, contacted the city to inquire about using the west wall of a historical building for advertising purposes. Plaintiffs informed the city that they planned to replace the existing sign on the west wall advertising the Agua Caliente Racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico. After submitting a historical resources report and advertising plan, the city's principal planner issued a permit authorizing plaintiffs' use of the west wall for advertising purposes. Shortly after obtaining the permit, the plaintiffs entered into a lease with the owner of the historical building. Under the terms of the lease, in exchange for a monthly payment of $10,500, plaintiffs could use the advertising space themselves or sublease the space to other businesses. Plaintiffs believed that based on the market, the wall space could be subleased for about $40,000 per month.
Apparently spurred on by members of the city council and a local historical resources preservation group who believed that the Agua Caliente sign was historically significant, the city planner sent an email notifying plaintiffs that the permit had been revoked and would only be re-issued after the submittal of a historical resources report for the Agua Caliente sign and site survey. Rather than ceding to the city's demands, however, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging, among other claims, an unlawful taking without just compensation.
In response, the city filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. As for the takings claim, the city first argued that plaintiffs did not have a constitutionally protected property interest in the permit because it was issued illegally. The city argued that under local law a historical resources report for the Agua Caliente sign was required before any permit could issue. The district court rejected this argument, concluding that a historical resources report was only required if the planner requested one, and in this case the planner did not request one for the sign. The district court also found that because plaintiffs had acted in good faith and incurred substantial liabilities, plaintiffs had obtained a vested property right.
The city next argued, invoking old reliable, that under Williamson County the claim was not ripe because a final decision had not been issued and plaintiffs had not exhausted their state court remedies. Specifically, with respect to the final decision prong, the city argued that the email was not a final decision of denial because plaintiffs' permit could potentially be re-issued if a historical resources report and site plan were submitted. The district court quickly rejected this argument, stating that if the city "had an unlimited ability to rescind and re-condition the authorization of permits they have already approved, no permittee could ever rely on a permit to begin development or construction." Therefore, because the decision inflicts a "concrete harm," as plaintiffs are obligated to continue to make the lease payments, the decision is "final."
As for the second prong of Williamson County, the district court stated it was "unimpressed by Defendants' bare assertion that they are entitled to judgment since Plaintiffs have failed to file" an inverse claim in State court. Then, after noting that there was "[a]t least one case suggest[ing] that the Ninth Circuit may interpret Williamson County in a way that does not require the takings claimant to pursue adjudication in state court in every instance," the district court found that the city had failed to establish that plaintiffs' takings claim must fail for lack of ripeness.
Thus, in less than two weeks, Williamson County, the decision that made any federal takings claim a dead letter, was pushed aside not once, but twice.

64 Projects Across Canada Still in the Running for Molson Coors Community Cheer GrantsShare Tweet
Following last fall's announcement of the Molson Coors Community Cheer program, more than 100 communities across Canada applied to receive funding in support of their projects. Currently, 64 of those projects remain in the running for a piece of the up to $1-million available and Canadians have until 5pm EST this Friday to "cheer" in support of the programs in their city or province. By visiting OurCommunityCheer.com and registering their cheers before the deadline, the public will determine which projects make it through as finalists – provided they receive 225 cheers or more. A committee formed by Molson Coors will evaluate the successful finalists and the donation recipients will be announced on March 21st.
The projects will be evaluated based on four key criteria:
- The amount of community cheer and support
- The ability to meet application criteria
- The project's alignment with Molson Coors values

"Molson Coors has actively invested in Canadian communities for over 225 years, since our founder and noted philanthropist John Molson opened the brewery in 1786," said Ferg Devins, Chief of Public Affairs for Molson Coors Canada. "We've received positive feedback on the Community Cheer program from coast to coast, from beer drinkers who are excited to see their favourite brands like Molson Canadian and Coors Light giving back to the community."

Three Cavaliers Earn All-America Honors
December 03, 2012
Jowayne Laidley
ALBANY - The NJCAA announced Darton State College sophomores Troy Tucker, Soren Yuhaschek and Jowayne Laidley as D-1 men's soccer All Americans.
"They've been huge," Darton head men's soccer coach Bart Sasnett said of the trio. "They've taken our program to another level."
During the freshman and sophomore seasons of these three student-athletes, the Cavaliers were 38-3-1 overall and 22-0 in conference play. The program captured two Region 17 titles, two Southeast District Championships and two NJCAA final four appearances.
"That speaks volumes about these young men and the entire sophomore class," Sasnett said.
Tucker, who also earned Region 17 Player of the Year honors, is a central midfielder from Smiths Parish, Bermuda. The NJCAA gave Tucker 1st Team, All America honors. He earned 1st Team honors as a Cavalier in 2011 as well.
"Troy is as good as any player that I've ever coached," Sasnett said. "His leadership, on and off the field, is unchallenged."
Soren Yuhaschek
Troy Tucker
Yuhaschek came to Darton from Freedom High School in Orlando, Fla. His role as central defender for the Cavaliers kept opponents to only 13 goals in the 2012 season. Yuhaschek earned 2nd Team honors.
"Soren is our second center back to become an All American," Sasnett said, "and he's as good a player as any defender I've ever coached."
Laidley joined the Cavaliers after graduating Colonial High School in Orlando, Fla. He would become one of Darton's top goal scorers ever, and scored 13 goals in the 2012 season.
"He's so lethal and such a threat," Sasnett said. "He's elusive and dynamic. He's tough to mark and a phenomenal 1v1 threat - there are few defenders that can mark him."

There are some things in Lia's life that she finds so irritating that they're actually funny – like "honor roll" bumper stickers, doctor's office waiting rooms, and the font "Curlz MT." And then there are other things that make her really happy – like frozen meals from her mom, unique kitchen gadgets, and a website that keeps track of which TV episodes she's watched. Sometimes funny, sometimes sentimental, Lia uses her love of writing to attempt to make a tiny difference in the world – or at least make you chuckle.
It's been a winding road back to Chicago, but after spending the first half of her 20s in places as diverse as Boston, Nashville, Phoenix, Washington, D.C., Jerusalem, and even Auckland, New Zealand, Jessica has finally returned to the city she calls home.

After realizing there wasn't much hope (nor population to work with), he moved on to write English textbooks in Japan for native Dutch speakers. After years of meaning and monotony, he decided it was time to settle down and get a job, so he took over a decade off to study in the illustrious Yeshiva University and a number of Israeli yeshivas (post-doc Judaic studies sites). While meditating in the Rockies, he met his wife-to-be, Laura, who knocked some sense into him and continues to keep him grounded, down to earth, and changing diapers.
Annice is an Evanston raised, vegetarian grazing, liberal, red mini van driving chick who lives with a(n almost) vegan husband, 4 nutty kids and 2 rescue dogs in the rockin' burbs of Glencoe (where the party never ends!) She has made exactly zero dollars since earning her Masters Degree in Counseling because she popped out a kid right after graduation and then couldn't figure out how to stop doing that. (Which is no doubt just silly since she volunteers at a birth control clinic in Northfield and teaches sex ed and HIV/AIDS prevention in Englewood.)
Marcy grew up in the flat plains of Midwest suburbia, in Jewish Country— Highland Park, Illinois. She currently lives in the artist colony of Nahlaoot, Israel with her husband.

Imagine a man with the charisma of Cary Grant, the audacity of Marlon Brando, and the brilliance of Laurence Olivier. That's George Clooney. I'm more… Jason Alexander. I was born in Cleveland in 1970, but entered Northwestern in 1988, moving to Chicago permanently (so far) in 1994… so there is some hesitancy as to where I'm "from". I have three gorgeous, genius children— two of grade-school age, one of each major type, and a brand new baby boy. I have a wife who is prettier, smarter and more athletic than me. And we have a puppy who is just plain ridiculous.
Brought up in bumping Minneapolis, Jacey moved to the big city about a year ago—give or take a few steps in between.

Abby Cooper grew up in the wild and crazy suburbs of Minnesota (no, she does not have an accent; she also does not think ice fishing – or really anything having to do with ice – is fun). She actually does have a little bit of an accent, but she wasn't kidding about the ice. Ice is some scary stuff.

Jonathan graduated from Indiana University in 2004 and has been steadily losing maturity ever since. When he's not reading fantasy novels or catching up on DVR, Jon makes his living as a treasury bond trader at the Chicago Board of Trade, but finds it difficult to focus while daydreaming of playing golf on the coast of Oregon or drinking Cruzcampo in Sevilla.
Dana cringes when instructed to write bios, "short and fun". She has lived in lots of places that start with vowels, including Ann Arbor, Arad (Israel), Evanston, Urbana, Indianapolis, and Iowa City. In fourth grade, she bragged because she was Jewish, left handed and had AB+ blood. In fifth grade, she shut up. Yesterday she did Pilates, drank steamed soy milk, schlepped the girls to Sunday school, and tried to fly a kite. Tomorrow she hopes nobody wakes her up at 4 AM with bad dreams about camels or monkeys. Like Chai and Sarah, Dana is a grants person at the Jewish Federation—planning, allocating, pushing papers and fixing the world.

Taron is not as old as he looks in this picture. He is much, much older! As a rabbi at Beth Tikvah Congregation in Hoffman Estates, Taron has married about 30 people, but has buried many more. (sad!) To date, none of his couples have divorced. Taron likes to believe that this is on account of the amazing pre-marital sessions he has with each couple, but knows deep-down that it might be for other reasons.
Michelle was raised in Highland Park, IL and always one to welcome change, headed down South without missing a beat!

This article was previously published under Q318825
The default behavior of the discretionary access control list (DACL) on a Microsoft Windows XP-based system is different from the behavior of earlier versions of the DACL. This article describes the behavior of the default DACL when a member of the Administrators group creates a securable object on a Microsoft Windows XP-based system.
When you specify NULL as the LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES parameter while you create a securable object, the DACL that is associated with the access token of the caller is used to apply access control on the object. Typically, only the CREATOR OWNER and the LocalSystem local user accounts are granted access to an object.
On a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based system and on a Microsoft Windows 2000-based system, members of the BUILTIN\Administrators group are granted access to the secured object if the CREATOR OWNER is a member of the Administrators group.
However, on both a Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition-based system and a Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition-based system, only the user is specifically granted access to the object, even if the CREATOR OWNER is a member of the Administrators group. On a Windows XP-based system, you can use a security option to control this behavior. In Windows XP, the default value for this security option is Object creator.
To view this security option, follow these steps:
Access tokens that are created by a later authentication use the new policy. Duplicate access tokens are not created.
Note On a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, the default security option is Administrators instead of Object creator as it is in Windows XP Professional or Windows Home. On a Windows 2003 Domain Controller, this option is under Domain Security instead of under Local Security Policy.

Laneige Summer 2008 Collection
Well lookiee what the Muse came across on the Laneige Singapore site!
It's the Summer Collection!
I was shocked to see the Laneige site had updated for Summer on the Singapore site only and not the Korean! I was thinking I'd see the update on the Korean site prior to any of the other global gateways!
Go Singapore (lately you guys have been really up to date with the cosmetic collections!)!
The release appears to be very small with some shadows and a lipstick but I'm unsure of all the details as of yet! As soon as I know I'll definately keep you posted!
As always the promo model image is gorgeous! It's a very edgy look they created using soft colors. I think perhaps the edge comes from the haircut the model is sporting!
I'm interested in getting my hands on some of this collection to review for you guys so stayed tuned!
On a side note I'm behind on comments please know I'll get to them soon! Sorry for the delay! Life sometimes gets in the way of blogging on occasion! Love you all!

Hey Izzy, wow, your blog is getting hotter. Korean readers? That's nice There was a preview of this on 24th May but I didn't go. Maybe some Cotters went?
Anyway, how was your weekend?
5/27/08 22:40 the Muse:

I'm really excited! I get quite alot of Korean readers but it's definately picked up in the Korean area lately 😉
It's not even on the Korean site yet that I seen!
I wonder! We should ask around and see! I wanna know what the shadows are like 😉
Weekend was awesome and very long (monday was holiday)!
How was yours?!
5/27/08 23:39 Marty Pauline:
I like the packaging I see from your blog, I definitely will try out this line
5/28/08 10:59 the Muse:
hiya marty!
It's a great line! Good stuff! Love the shadows 😉 They also have a new lip pen I'm dying to get my hands on 😉
11/14/08 2:05 Nadiah:
Laneige stuff are not too bad, but the eye concealer is not recommended at all for those with panda eyes..
11/14/08 14:22 the Muse:
hi nadiah!
I haven't tried the concealer but I love the powders, highlighters, blushes, etc..!

Final Curtain

Cool gallery, great art, great stories!
Is Tech fail ongoing or finished?
your renderings are amazing, but there is a definite lack of chloroforming. Please feed my fetish.
are you done with ww vs mongul pics already?
your wonder woman is awesome. would love to see some done of her in some bearhugs?maybe zardor finally getting the better of her?
I've been a Wonder Woman fan since the early '40's, and I remember one issue of the Comic that featured Leprechauns. Would be perfect for one of your amazing adaptions for the next St Patty's day. In one of your next postings, would it be possible to show a full chloroform scene?
You are positively the BEST!

Back to School and Back to Work: Organize the Whole Family This Fall
You've probably noticed the Back-To-School sales starting to pop up here and there. If you're a fortunate parent, your child is getting excited about starting classes, meeting new teachers, making new friends, and getting prepared to dive into their studies.
For some kids, the prospect of new folders, binders, notebooks, pencils and pencil cases rivals birthdays and winter holidays.
Why should kids have all the fun, though?
For a great many of us, summer means excitement and family fun. Everyone seems a bit more relaxed and care-free. There are myriad happy distractions and there's always the hope for something new and different just a weekend away.
Perhaps we don't mind tiring ourselves out during warmer months, because we know that things will settle down soon enough once September lifts over the horizon.
Even if you don't have kids, there's a palpable line between summer fun and buckling down in the fall. We all feel it. The tendency is to focus on the tasks at hand, much like squirrels gathering nuts for winter.
If you're outfitting your children to succeed during the new school year, why not take a look at your home office, too. What can you do for yourself to enhance your productivity? How can you better organize your work space to make your life easier?
A general consensus is that less clutter on our desks translates to less noise in our heads which can lead to clearer and more congruent thinking.
Survey your office and it won't take long before you see room for improvement. Whether it's more usable desk space, better lighting, a more efficient filing system, or a complete overhaul, there are lots of projects you can start today to help you get ready to get back into the swing of things.

Hey guys,
I've never been a Diablo guy, actually I've never played one at all. I did enjoy the demo, but I realize that grouping up with friends is part of the fun of this style of game.
Anyway, if someone was to play it through on their own (none of my friends own the game) would it still be an enjoyable experience? I wasn't sure if there were any difficulty spikes that make it near impossible without assistance.

24 Spoilers" src="http://media1.break.com/breakstudios/2011/8/15/24logoWithKS.jpg" />
There are a number of "24" spoilers throughout the near decade of Jack Bauer having crazy 24 hours after crazy 24 hours trying to save the world. These will ultimately save the avid "24" viewer hours of their time actually watching each season of the show, but also ruin the excitement of seeing each season. So if you are big fan of "24" and haven't seen each season, don't read the "24" spoilers listed below. Otherwise, this should reveal the ends of certain seasons so you can be caught up and talk about it with your friends.
Jack doesn't die in the end. The big cliffhanger finale of the entire series is based around whether Jack dies at the end of the series (and a number of other seasons). This "24" spoiler lets you know that this is a complete red herring and Jack lives through all of it, especially considering there is a "24" movie in the works.
Nina Myers kills Teri Bauer. This "24" spoiler reveals the true motive of one of the main characters in the first three seasons of the show. She becomes an incredibly evil character, lying, killing and cheating her way out of just about every situation possible. Jack gets her in the end.
Dina Araz helps Jack in the end. Despite being a tool for a terrorist cell throughout season 4, she ultimately helps Jack Bauer save the day in the end. This "24" spoiler basically ruins the fourth season of the show for a new viewer.
Charles Logan is a bad guy. Despite being the president of the U.S. in a few seasons of "24," Logan will do just about anything to push his own agenda. This "24" spoiler reveals a lot about this character's true motivations in seasons 4, 5, 6 and 8 of the series.
Graem Bauer will turn on his own blood. A relative of Jack Bauer, Graem will ultimately turn on his bloodline to push his own company's agenda and get people killed. This "24" spoiler will show that Jack will ultimately have to stop him.
Consider posting a comment.

When I tell people Star Control II (released in 1992 by Accolade) is the Best Video Game Ever, I'm only slightly exaggerating for effect. I'm not an avid gamer these days–the gags in Penny Arcade and VG Cats have a tendency to whiz over my head–but I've played my share, and Star Control II did some truly amazing things.
The core is a science-fiction role-playing game with the most non-linear plot I've ever seen. You always start in the same place: you are the son of explorers who went off to investigate a major alien artifact site and got stranded 20 years ago, and you are returning to Earth to see how the war against marauding aliens went. When you arrive, you find the planet encased in a red shield; this is your first hint the war didn't end so well.
Actually winning the game involves one bitch of a boss fight (which in this case is a plus), but it is the journey that makes the game shine, not the destination. Most computer RPGs have a single, clearly delineated main plot laid down with all the subtlety of a four-lane interstate. There may be occasional subplots and side quests you can explore or ignore at your leisure, but there is always that main thread to follow from one meticulously crafted event to the next. Star Control II, on the other hand, sets a sizable chunk of your corner of the galaxy (to the tune of 500 stars or so) in front of you, and then gets out of the way and lets you start exploring it.
Sure, it gives you hints–lots and lots of hints–about interesting things going on elsewhere, but whether or not you investigate them is entirely up to you. And often as not, you have no bloody idea whether those hints you've been hearing relate to the main plot, are ignorable side-quests, or are even non-existent red herrings. When one is accustomed to an RPG grabbing your nose and leading you firmly to your fate, the freedom offered by Star Control II is enough to take your breath away.
The game is also a wonderfully written piece of science fiction. As you explore, you encounter over 20 alien races, each of which has their own unique feel. The dialog is often hilarious, and true to form in this game, the way the aliens react to you has a lot to do with the choices you make when dealing with them. I've recently been replaying the game and consistently selecting the "Belligerent Prick" dialog options, just to see what would happen. Man, some of those critters get really touchy! You find yourself exploring not to pimp out your spaceship and battle fleet (not just to pimp out your spaceship and battle fleet), but rather for a chance to see what cool stuff there is out there. It is the kind of game where you would feel cheated if you missed something.
As for the badguys… ooh, baby. The Ur-Quan make for awesome villains. As the game progresses, you unravel the history of your alien oppressors, and… well, I'd hate to give anything away. I'll just say their history is both fascinating and relevant, and leave it at that.
Aside from the primary RPG game, there is also a "Super-Melee Mode," which makes Star Control II two games in one. The second mode is a straight-up arcade shooter, in which two spaceships duke it out. Every race in the game (and even a few that are conspicuously, creepily absent) gets a unique type of ship, each one with its own performance and armament advantages and disadvantages. You have your speedsters, your lumbering juggernauts, and everything in between. You've got ships that try to peck you to death with light weapons, and ships that hit you like a sledgehammer. You have special abilities of every variety, boarding parties, defensive shields, and yes, even evil little green boogers of doom.
I have spent countless hours playing the Super Melee Mode, both against the computer and against a human opponent sitting next to me, using the other half of the keyboard. The ships aren't balanced at all, and they aren't meant to be. Some are badass killing machines, while others are little more than nuisances. The variety of ships forces you to come up with a wide range of tactics, and the way some ships play off each other can give the whole thing a rock-paper-scissors feel. At its best, winning when the fight is stacked against you can be an instant ticket to well-earned bragging rights.
If this sounds interesting at all, rejoice.
Back in 2002, Toys for Bob–the development team that made the game–released the source code to the world. A dedicated group of fans renamed the game The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control being an Atari trademark), tinkered with it to get it to work on modern PCs (Windows, Mac, and Linux), and released it for you to download and love.
I recently put it on my home box just to make sure I had my facts straight in this essay, and… damn. I need to get rid of that thing before it damages my marriage! It is pure, cracktastic goodness, even after I've already beaten it. Even after fifteen years.
If you want to go for the hard-core, "Nerdity Full Immersive Experience" before tackling the role-playing game, try playing the Super-Melee mode, but only using the Old Alliance and Old Hierarchy teams. Then again, if that doesn't sound like fun to you, don't.
Like everything else in Star Controll II, it's up to you.

On Saturday, April 29, 2006, from 11 AM to 3 PM, the 2nd Annual Wheeling Caboose Festival was held here at the museum! The day ended with a 2:30 PM dedication event for the new "Upton House" exhibit here at the Museum! Several hundred attendees enjoyed the outdoor festival, which included the Whiteside calliope, Diecast Derby (a racetrack for the little ones to race their Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars on), various area crafters, unique food, and much more!

Speed Packer
A straightforward request: increase line throughput by 20-25%. Marketing and sales at a large consumer products company have a promotional success on their hands and have increased demand for their product. The packer has long been suspect as being the reason for the line's low throughput. If engineers can coax their packer to pump out product faster, the company has a major success. And the ...

PATERSON, N.J. (CBS 2) — Holiday bargain hunters may want to find their way into one of New Jersey's enterprise zones.
Parts of the Garden State have stores that will only have to charge half the state sales tax, just 3.5-percent.
Union City, Bayonne, Newark, and Orange will also offer the special incentive.

Hi Andrew, I went up the weekend after you and it was beautiful. Stayed at High Creek the first night, hiked to the summit on day 2 and then over to dollar lake for the 2nd night, then out the third day. Great pictures!

H-1B visas see slow demand but finally reach limit
Posted By aaron On December 25, 2009 @ 4:40 pm In Border Control & Illegal Immigration,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled

Mercury News
December 25, 2009
After a slow start because of the recession, applications for the high-tech industry's favorite work visa, the H-1B, reached the annual cap of 65,000 this month, federal immigration authorities said this week.
[efoods]The announcement by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services might appear to be one more sign of an economy on the mend, but compared with previous years, applications for the normally popular — and controversial — work visa have moved at a snail's pace.
It took nine months to exhaust the supply of visas this year, and a mere day to do so last year. There was only light demand for the visa in April, when the government started taking applications for this fiscal year's quota, but employers finally used them all up in a sign that perhaps high-tech hiring was rebounding.

The city of Price has been dealing with an assortment of tree issues all summer, ranging from the aesthetics of tree trimming vs safety, to planting new ones. However, on Aug 12. the city council was once again confronted with a tree dilemma because Gary Grako's Tires on 280 E Main, reports that trees in front of the business are blocking the sign.
The council heard the complaint from the business and offered compromises including trimming branches, or even moving the sign. After some discussion, it became apparent that safety issues were also present since the sidewalks surrounding the tree have become lifted by the roots. Although it was unclear how unsafe the situation was, the council expressed concern.
"I would like to be part of an inspection, (of the area in question)" said Councilmember Kathy Smith during the meeting. The council will review the possible tree removal after an inspection is made so a solution to the two problems can be resolved.
Price city has also entered into a franchising agreement with Emery Telcom (ET) in which a five year deal has been struck. While the council and the company had to add some revisions to the contract in order to reach a compromise, the contract has been signed and has come into effect as of July 1, 2009. The deal has granted ET access to city right-of-ways (telephone polls, streets and underground lines etc.) so that a new upgraded cable TV system may be installed.
After the five years is up according to the contract, the city will automatically renew the deal for another five years. This provision was part of the compromise, as the city did not want such a long commitment, while the company wanted more of a guarantee for their investment. In all the project is insured for a minimum of $3 million and the company owes five percent of all revenues to Price city.
Other approvals included the authorization for final payment of $132,211.58 to Intermountain Slurry Seal Inc for the slurry seal work that took place this summer around Price. Water bonds that were sold earlier this spring were approved for a total of $3.3 million.
Finally Mayor Piccolo presented problem with the city's irrigation system in which street gutters are used to get irrigation water across town. The mayor indicated that he has received complaints from a citizen in which his property has been damaged by the system and while the irrigation has been in place for decades, the problem could become an issue as the resident was very upset.

By RICHARD SHAWSports editor
It's hard to put ones finger on what makes the difference between a football team that wins and one that loses. Enthusiam, hard work, a positive outlook, can be present in both types of teams. So can talent.
Carbon High finished it's varsity football season with a loss to North Sanpete in the Dinostadium on Friday night, with the Hawks registering a 61-0 win over the home team. Yet somehow, despite a big loss at the end of a season in which there were only a few moral victories, the team still had smiles on their faces at the end. In fact the team was having a lot of fun just playing.
All season long, Coach Lane Herrick has been positive about his team, despite the record. And that didn't change when he talked about the group that had just finished the season after the game.
"I really appreciate these kids who were on the team this year," he said on Monday morning. "They worked hard. You know winning is fun, but when you give everything you've got like they did, it still is safisfying."
For the 2004 version of the Carbon football team, that satisfaction will go a long way to alleviating the painful losses this year and for the seniors a final game in which they had spurts of greatness.
For the first seven and a half minutes of the game, Carbon progressed the ball down field, but couldn't quite get a score. On the other hand, Carbon's defense, at the same time, also held North Sanpete scoreless as well.
But with 5:16 left in the first quarter the Hawks took it over the line and added the extra point. From then on they treated touchdowns like that famous brand of potato chips; they couldn't just take one.
They scored again after a Carbon fumble with 4:55 left. Then they make a 35 yard pass with 42 seconds left, but missed the extra point.
So at the end of the first period the Hawks were up 20-0 and some of the Sanpete players could be heard on the sidelines wondering out loud if they could win it 80-0.
The trend continued in the second quarter as North Sanpete scored again at 10:10 (they tried to run the extra point but didn't make it), at 7:25 on a 40 yard run, then Carbon fumbled at 5:37 and the Hawks scored on the next play with a run, making the score 41-0 at halftime.
When Carbon went into the locker room, their faces were a bit long, but when they came out they had smiles on them again.
The coaches reminded the team they still had half a game to play and about all the things they had done right.
In the third quarter North Sanpete only scored two touchdowns, one at 10:25 and the other at 6:44, not only because Carbon defense began to figure out their running game, but also because the offense held onto the ball while they had it in their possession. It was a vast improvement over the first half where the Dinos lost it four times, three times to fumbles and once to an interception.
While no one was under any illusion that the team could come back completely in the fourth quarter, the more controlled third quarter did give some hope and Carbon's defense proved that hope as they only allowed the Hawks to score one touchdown at 11:51 and they blocked the extra point.
But the defense even showed more spark when sophomore Marcus Zaccaria intercepted the ball at 5:15 shutting down a promising North Sanpete drive for the goal line.
The game ended with no more scoring, but as the Dinos walked off the field they knew that the future would be much brighter. With only a few seniors on a heavily laden sophomore team, as a group they learned a lot this year, and with that experience will come a better football record next year and the year after that.
"I just want to say that the seniors on this team were special kids," stated Herrick. "They showed a lot of leadership through the adversity we faced and that, along with the hard work from the lower classmen is what brought us through the year."
As for Herrick, he says he is going to keep working on football for a awhile, in fact with all athletes at the school by instituting a new weight lifting program.
"I am looking forward to that," he said and then added. "And to our football team in the coming years."

Extended mass layoffs decline in first quarter of 2004
May 19, 2004
In the first quarter of 2004, mass layoff actions taken by employers in the private nonfarm economy resulted in the separation of 239,361 workers from their jobs for at least 31 days.
The number of extended mass layoff separations was sharply lower than in January-March 2003 and was the lowest for a first quarter since 2000. ("Extended mass layoffs" last more than 30 days and involve 50 or more individuals from a single establishment filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period.)
Thirty-nine percent of separations occurred in metropolitan areas in the first quarter of 2004. Chicago, Illinois, reported more separations than any other metropolitan area, 10,859, mainly in specialty trade contractors. Next were Medford-Ashland, Oregon, with 3,360 separations and Los Angeles-Long Beach, California, with 3,161. The numbers for Chicago and Los Angeles-Long Beach were lower compared to the first quarter of 2003; the number for Medford-Ashland was higher, as that area had no extended mass layoffs in the first quarter of last year.
These data are from the BLS Mass Layoff Statistics program. Data for 2004 are preliminary and subject to revision. For more information, see "Extended Mass Layoffs in the First Quarter of 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-895.
