I just finished picking up more dead grass from my front yard. I can't believe the grass grew so much while my rider was broken down and idle. Now, while we await the rain, light pruning will keep me busy.
There is not much good left in my garden, except for a few Irish potatoes and near naked stalks of okra. The flowers that border my garden space are fading and going to seed.
Butterflies are still drinking, but a few are already wobbly. I reckon too much sun sweetened nectar and the wind knocked some of them off of their rockers.
I didn't mind the wind, until the heavy smoke from what appeared to be a sizable fire, to the west of the little blue house at the end of the road showed up. The problem lasted late into the evening, Sunday.
I am still waiting to learn more about it.
Paul and I lost a set of keys Saturday. He and I covered a large area of this property while performing our tasks. We aren't sure who to blame, therefore; the hunt is peaceful.
I am glad that duplicates were close at hand.
We plan to bring out the metal detectors in the morning.
With all of this dry grass, it really is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Our daughter, Starla Gail McHugh, of Scottsdale, Arizona recently made a career move. Her new job title is, National Manager Data Acquisition for "CARFAX." She specializes in banks and other institutions. CARFAX is a provider of vehicle history information.
Two of our children, Paul Sartor Jr. and Lori Ann Sartor Patrick, came into the world during the ninth month of the year. Little Paul was born, Sept. 8, 1960. He lived four months and five days. He would be 50 years old.
Lori Ann Sartor Patrick was born Sept. 30, 1962. Her paternal grandmother, Winifred Marie Goodman Swain shared the same birth date.
Lori lives in Denver. She is in charge of customer services for United Airlines. She is also attending college now, seeking a degree in criminology.
No doubt about it, I love my family and that would include my extended family and all of my loved ones gone on before.
I knew both of my lovely grandmothers. Etta Fisher Lynch and Edith Green Siner.
My grandfather, Hugh Lynch Sr. died in 1939, the year that I was born.
My maternal grandfather, I knew quite well.
John Andrew Logan Siner was a talented fiddle/violin player and could handle any other stringed instrument at hand.
I remember his German made instrument of choice well. Grandpa filled his homes, in Hadlytown, with music every time we visited. I can't tell you how many times I heard "Turkey in the Straw" or "The Skater's Waltz." I never tired of that pleasure.
Grandpa's passions were many.
Fox hunting was as important as his music. He raised a fine line of foxhounds and several, the best of the breeds were proven show and field winners. He was an active member of the Fox Hunters Association for many years.
I once boosted a score of aunts and uncles. Now I visit my precious Aunt Jessie Lynch Glenn Nicoson in the nursing home. Sadly, we reflect and remember the others, fondly.
I have several wonderful cousins.
For the most part, I only see them at funerals, but I certainly am aware of their presence in my life. Each have contributed to my happiness.
Last week, I received a phone call from one of my cousins that I haven't seen since I was a little girl.
Somehow, I suppose we weren't in the same place at the right time over the years.
The lady that called me is my cousin, Lavonne (Sue) Siner Ell. Sue is the daughter of the late George Wilber (Bib) Siner and Agnes Redenbarger. She is the widow of Paul Ell.
Sue lives in Mishawaka. She and Paul were blessed with two children, Steven and Bambi.
My cousin has many friends in Brazil. She graduated from Brazil High School "Class of 1949."
The pretty blond loved the sport of football and was a popular cheerleader.
She didn't remember the fact, but, once, while my family was visiting her home place, she stood on the sidewalk on Ashley Street and taught me a yell or two.
I still do them when I am alone and my old mind take a notion to follow a ball around the old Athletic Field and run with it.
Tootie Mae has never heard of The Brazil Red Devils, but the little dog likes the yells.
Well I was a yell leader for the tenth grade homeroom for the midterm gang. I think that this old girl could still shake her pom--poms, if the occasion arose again.
"BB-BRA-ZZ-ZIL BRAZIL- BRAZIL BRAZIL BRAZIL--Brazil RED DEVILS --NO ANY PROUDER --IF YOU CAN'T HEAR US WE WILL YELL A LITTLE LOUDER...!"
Sue sends a warm hello to her former classmates, schoolmates and friends in Brazil.
Thanks to the other readers that called last week. It was a very good week.
I can be reached by phone at 446-4852 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Respond to Review of Lovin' Spoonfuls
by cottrellbentley
Review: How frequently can a vegan order ANYTHING off of a menu? Not often! In steps the amazing Lovin' Spoonfuls menu. They are open 7 days a week and have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. We live (relatively) close and have had nearly everything on their menu. I have my favorites: tofu scramble, "chicken" golden nuggets, stroganoff... Their ranch is the best and the service is great. We have all our birthday cakes made here and they not only taste delicious, but they are decorated extremely fancy. Check out their daily specials. They, obviously, change daily, but they are great. My whole family loves Lovin' Spoonfuls and we know it's a sure-win for all friends we take there!

Lockout Devices
Lockout tagout devices for effective energy hazard prevention
Lockout devices are an important factor in complying with federal lockout/tagout regulations. These regulations highlight the employer's responsibility to protect workers from hazardous energy sources, with managers encouraged to develop safety programs that are best suited to their facility. This means that employers are allowed a variety of lockout/tagout (LOTO) devices to use.
As a leader in workplace safety, Seton offers customers a wide range of lockout devices to choose from. Using the proper LOTO devices helps ensure that machines and equipment are secure and kept within regulation compliance.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has three particular requirements for setting up lockout tagout processes. These requirements are training, procedure documents, and inspections. Regarding training, regulations specify two types of people who should receive training: authorized and affected employees. Authorized employees are workers tasked with maintenance and/or servicing work. These are also the employees who are directly responsible for lock-out tag-out. Affected employees, meanwhile, are those work with or near equipment undergoing lockout/tagout (LOTO) routines. In both instances, lockout training will depend on the proper allocation of time and resources. And for workplace safety, the time and effort going to such programs are more than worth it.

Electronics manufacturer Foxconn has taken some considerable hits to its public image in recent years as reports about shocking labor conditions at the Apple supplier's factories cropped up with more frequency than new iPad product launches. On Sunday, Foxconn's chairman said that the company is changing its ways.
Amid last week's flood of business news, one story stood out as reason to hope for more than just a momentary uptick in your 401(k): Apple, you may have heard, announced record first-quarter profits.

A group of more than a dozen prominent former arms negotiators and senior diplomats has sent a letter to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz urging an end to the U.S. nuclear fuel program at the government's Savannah River complex that they say is too costly and a threat to non-proliferation efforts.
...The signatories included former nuclear arms negotiators Robert Einhorn and Robert Gallucci; former ambassadors Thomas Pickering and Joseph Nye; former White House director for arms control, former Pentagon and intelligence official Henry S. Rowen; former head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Jessica Matthews; former Nuclear Regulation Commission members Peter Bradford and Victor Gilinsky; National Medal of Science winner and a designer of the first hydrogen bomb Richard Garwin; and nuclear policy experts Henry Sokolski, Frank von Hippel, S. David Freeman and Ploughshares Fund president Joseph Cirincione.
SRS Watch has posted the letter online.
But such concerns about the use of Mixed Oxide Uranium-Plutonium (MOX) fuel at commercial atomic reactors goes back 20 years. Grassroots anti-nuclear activists, as in the 1999 lawsuit Alice Hirt v. Bill Richardson, Energy Secretary, urged that weapons-grade plutonium be mixed back into the high-level radioactive waste from which it came in the first place, and be treated as a deadly, dangerous radioactive waste, not a nuclear power commodity.
However, the MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site in South Carolina has proceeded regardless, a $5 billion waste of federal taxpayer money thus far, with no end in site. Incredibly, that construction bill is far from complete -- and the building constructed thus far, at huge expense, is too small to house the needed equipment!
But in addition to the unwarranted subsidy to the nuclear power industry, the program also risks nuclear weapons proliferation internationally, and also risks a plutonium-fuelled nuclear power catastrophe at reactors never designed for MOX use. More.
The article reports:
This deal signals that "the nuclear renaissance is over for Southern," said Robert "Bobby" Brown, a regulatory lawyer and former member of Georgia's utility regulator, the Public Service Commission.
The article goes on:
The Atlanta company is building two new nuclear power units at its Vogtle site in Georgia and an advanced-technology coal-fired plant in Mississippi. Both those projects are years behind schedule and have resulted in billions of dollars of cost overruns that will be born by Southern's shareholders or customers, or both. (emphasis added)
The Obama administration awarded Southern and its partners at Vogtle 3 & 4 a whopping $8.3 billion in federal taxpayer-back loans and loan guarantees. If the project defaults on its loan repayment, federal taxpayers would be left holding the bag.
That's 15 times more money than was lost to the U.S. Treasury by the Solyndra solar loan guarantee default. And Vogtle 3 & 4's risk of default is higher than Solyndra's was determined to be when the solar loan guarantee was awarded.
In addition to taxpayer subsidies, Vogtle 3 & 4 has been financed by "Construction Work in Progress" -- surcharges on ratepayers' electricity bills that are illegal in most states.
Duke Nuclear had originally proposed firing up Lee Unit 1 in 2017. But now initial start up has been postponed till 2024 at the earliest.
Duke proposes to build two Toshiba-Westinghouse AP1000 reactors, just as is happening at Vogtle 3 & 4 in GA, and at Summer 2 & 3 in SC. Both the Vogtle and the Summer new reactor construction projects are billions of dollars over-budget, and years behind schedule.
Duke has not yet charged its $450 million in "pre-construction" activities to its SC rate-base, but it could under SC's generous "Construction Work in Progress" (CWIP) law.
Already, South Carolina Electric & Gas and SCANA have charged their SC ratepayers more than half a dozen rate increases, entirely devoted to CWIP costs on building Summer 2 & 3, with the SC public service commission's blessing. SCE&G and SCANA have not applied for federal nuclear loan guarantees, however.
Vogtle 3 & 4 has slogged ahead, thanks not only to CWIP surcharges on GA ratepayer electricity bills, but also compliments of an $8.3 billion federal taxpayer-backed loan guarantee, and loan. President Obama and Energy Secretary Moniz have provided that massive loan guarantee, and loan, without charging Southern Nuclear and its partners a single penny of credit subsidy fee, to protect federal taxpayers at least to some small extent, should Southern default on its loan repayment.
$8.3 billion is 15 times more federal taxpayer funding than was lost to the U.S. Treasury at Solyndra, when that solar loan guarantee repayment defaulted. But Vogtle 3 & 4 are at a significantly higher risk of defaulting, than was Solyndra when the solar loan guarantee was awarded.
More than $10 billion in nuclear loan guarantee funding remains available, for projects like Lee 1 & 2, or Fermi 3 in MI, to apply for. Lee 1 & 2 still needs COLA (combined Construction and Operating License Application) approval by NRC, something that Fermi 3 already won on May 1, 2015. However, Beyond Nuclear and allies continue to challenge the Fermi 3 license, now by appealing to the federal courts. One of the appeals by the environmental coalition is a challenge to NRC's Orwellian permission to grant the go ahead for "pre-construction" activities at new reactor construction sites, in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act.]]>
Joseph "Buzz" Miller, Georgia Power's executive vice president for nuclear development, is quoted as saying "The promise of modular construction has yet to be seen."
The two proposed new Toshiba-Westinghouse AP1000 reactors, Vogtle Units 3 & 4, that Georgia Power is building are years behind schedule, and billions of dollars over budget. $8.3 billion in federal nuclear loan guarantees, awarded by the Obama administration at no cost to the nuclear utilities, would leave taxpayers holding the bag if the project defaults on its loan repayment.
That's 15 times the amount of taxpayer money at risk than was lost to the U.S. Treasury with the Solyndra solar loan guarantee default several years ago.
The article also reports: "Stephen Byrne, president of South Carolina Electric & Gas [SCE&G], recently told investors his company is in discussions with Westinghouse and CB&I [Chicago Bridge & Iron] about the cost overruns and who will bear the burden. Utilities want those added costs to be shared, getting vendors to pay for some of the added expense but vendors are examining the claims. 'We feel that there's an opportunity for a settlement in the future,' he said."
The two AP1000s under construction at Summer nuclear power plant in SC have been financed by repeated "Construction Work in Progress" (CWIP) surcharges on ratepayer electricity bills over the past many years. Such a "nuclear tax" is illegal in most states.
These cost overruns and schedule delays were to be expected, based on the previous history of nuclear power in the U.S. and overseas.
In 1985, Forbes wrote "The failure of the U.S. nuclear power program ranks as the largest managerial disaster in business history, a disaster on a monumental scale."
In fact, ironically enough, Vogtle Units 1 & 2 were the poster children for cost overruns, coming in at 1,300% their originally estimated price tag.
And the Watts Bar Units 1 & 2 are the case studies in atomic reactor schedule delays. Watts Bar took from 1973 to 1996 to become operational. Watts Bar 2 began construction in 1972, and is still struggling to begin generating electricity, 23 years later!
Such problems extend overseas, as well. A decade-long delay, and huge cost overruns, at the Olkiluoto new reactor construction site in Finland have led to major lawsuits between the nuclear utility, TVO, and the bankrupt French reactor vendor, Areva, to determine who is liable.]]>
And, as reported by Politico, another proposed new reactor project in Finland -- HANHIKIVI 1 -- may have suffered a serious setback, due to Finnish authorities' concerns about a potential Croatian partner's shadowy ties to Russian business interests.]]>
The MOX FFF at DOE's SRS has already cost several billion dollars -- but in an incredible design and construction error, the building is too small to house the necessary equipment!
UCS also emphasizes that the DOE contractor report reaffirms that immobilization -- the mixing of the excess weapons-grade plutonium back into the high-level radioactive waste from which it came in the first place -- and disposal as radioactive waste, would be quicker and cheaper than the MOX option.
Nix MOX activists have called for immobilization as the more sensible option for two decades, but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears in both Democratic and Republican administrations, as well as Congresses.
In addition to the astronomical costs -- which represents a massive subsidy for the U.S. nuclear industry at taxpayer expense -- MOX also undermines U.S. non-proliferation efforts. It sets a bad example for other countries to follow, of plutonium reprocessing that could easily lead to nuclear weapons proliferation.]]>
The Vogtle 3 & 4 construction project (see photo, left) is being financed through "Construction Work in Progress" (CWIP), or "advanced cost recovery" -- that is, simply surcharging ratepayer electricity bills. This practice is illegal in most states, but has been made legal in Georgia, as well as South Carolina -- where two more new reactors at Summer nuclear power plant are also under construction (and also suffering schedule delays and massive cost overruns).
Highly controversial CWIP resulted in the loss to ratepayers of $3 billion, for a cancelled new nuclear power plant. Somehow that massive amount of money was spent, even though ground was not even broken on the failed project.
The Georgia Public Service Commission, the same agency that approved ratepayer CWIP surcharges in the first place, will now decide on whether or not ratepayers will eat the cost overruns at Vogtle 3 & 4.
In addition to gouging ratepayers, Georgia Power/Southern Nuclear is also gouging federal taxpayers, compliments of the Obama administration. In Feb. 2010, President Obama himself made the announcement that his U.S. Department of Energy was awarding $8.3 billion in federal loan guarantees to the Vogtle 3 & 4 project. In addition to the loan guarantees, the actual loan is coming from U.S. taxpayers as well -- from the taxpayer-funded U.S. Finance Bank. In that regard, the federal nuclear loan guarantee is already a failure -- it was supposed to entice private investors to actually loan the money to the project.
Incredibly, the DOE didn't even charge a penny in credit subsidy fee. This means Southern Nuclear/Georgia Power has no skin in the game. If the loan repayment is defaulted upon, taxpayers will be left holding the bag, entirely.
Vogtle 3 & 4 have put at risk 15 times more money than was lost in the Solyndra solar loan guarantee default. And Vogtle 3 & 4's risk of default is actually significantly higher than Solyndra's risk ever was.
(Re: the RPV in the photo above, it actually was involved in a transport accident at the Port of Savannah in Jan. 2013, when its transport train carriage collapsed under its massive weight. It then limped back to the Port, where it was exposed to the elements for an extended period, covered only partially by run of the mill tarps.)]]>
Under Georgia's Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) law, ratepayers are forced to pay for the constructions costs with a surcharge on their electricity bills. This practice is illegal in most other states.
In addition to gouging ratepayers, Vogtle 3 & 4 is also gouging federal taxpayers. The Obama administration awarded an $8.3 billion loan, and loan guarantee, to the project -- Southern Co. and its partners have not one cent of skin in the game. Talk about a financial "moral hazard," with a radiological twist! Let's hope the scheme doesn't "meltdown," and the investment turn "radioactive"!
In fact, the Vogtle 3 & 4 federal loan guarantee amounts to 15 times more federal taxpayer money than was lost in the Solyndra solar scandal. And, Vogtle 3 & 4 are actually more at risk of defaulting on their loan repayment than was Solyndra!]]>
Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) has published an update on Vogtle 3 & 4, which currently are suffering a 21-month schedule delay, and $1.4 billion cost overrun. The delays could well get worse, at a staggering cost increase of $2 million per day of delay!
Similarly, as reported by SRS Watch, delays of up to three years, and cost overruns topping $500 million, are afflicting the Summer 2 & 3 proposed new reactors in SC.
Note that those April 1st projected opening dates for the new reactors at Voglte and Summer, listed in the updates above, are no April Fool's joke. GA and SC ratepayers are already being gouged for the new reactors' troubled contstruction, on their electricity bills.
Vogtle 3 & 4's financial risks also now implicate federal taxpayers, in the form of a $6.5 billion loan guarantee, likely to soon grow to an $8.3 billion loan guarantee. This is compliments of the Obama administration. So, if Vogtle 3 & 4 default on their loan repayment, federal taxpayers will be left holding the bag. This is 15 times more taxpayer money at risk than was lost in the Solyndra solar loan guarantee scandal. And that risk, of Vogtle 3 & 4 defaulting on its loan repayment, was judged, years ago, by the likes of the Congressional Budget Office and Government Accountability Office, as a much greater risk than Solyndra defaulting on its loan repayment.
Vogtle 3 & 4, as well as Summer 2 & 3, are Toshiba-Westinghouse AP-1000 reactors. They are experimental, never having been built before anywhere in the world, although AP-1000s are also under construction in China.
The proposed new reactor in Tennessee, that is also suffering cost overruns and schedule delays, is the Tennessee Valley Authority's long-mothballed Watts Bar Unit 2.
To add to the irony, the existing reactors at Vogtle, Units 1 & 2, were the poster child for cost overruns in the last generation of reactor construction, coming in at 1,300% their originally estimated cost!
And the operational Watts Bar Unit 1 took 23 years to build, from 1973 to 1996!]]>
"As revealed today in an Energy & Environment News story by Hannah Northey, the credit subsidy fee for utility giant Southern Company and its utility partner, Oglethorpe Power, for billions of dollars in taxpayer-backed federal loan guarantees, is nothing, $0. This shocking information was disclosed two months after the Department of Energy (DOE) finalized terms of $6.5 billion worth of loan guarantees that were offered as part of an $8.3 billion package to build two new nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle in Georgia. A third partner in the project, MEAG, has yet to have their $1.8 billion loan guarantee finalized."
Please register your disapproval of this nuclear sweetheart deal, at taxpayer expense and risk, to President Obama, your two U.S. Senators, and your U.S. Representative! You can be patched through to your Members of Congress via the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
Despite construction cost overruns, as well as schedule delays, that further risk a default on Vogtle 3 & 4 loan repayments, the credit subsidy fee that was supposed to be around $300 million, to provide some meager protection to federal taxpayers for a loan guarantee of many billions of dollars, was haggled down by nuclear lobbyists to a big fat ZERO. More.

THE MARKETS: STOCKS; Shares Up Broadly as Second Quarter Starts With a Bang
Published: April 2, 1998
Stocks ended broadly higher yesterday, the first day of trading in the second quarter, as investors anticipate another three months of robust gains.
After recovering from a loss of more than 50 points in early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 68.51 points, at 8,868.32, less than 1 percent shy of its record close of 8,904.44, set on March 24.
In the first quarter, the Dow rose 11.27 percent, and some analysts say that the large infusion of cash into stock mutual funds that has been evident in the first few months of this year is likely to push stock prices even higher in the second quarter.
''It's not scientific, but I think we're in that psychology again, where we'll have a big jump in returns,'' said Robert Streed, senior investment counselor at Northern Trust in Chicago, which has about $200 billion in assets. ''People want to be in stocks.''
Stocks were modestly higher for most of the day, but a rally in the last hour of trading pulled most of the major stock measures into record territory.
Reaching a new high for the second consecutive day, the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite closed up 11.98 at 1,847.66, and the Russell 2000 -- a barometer of the performance of small-capitalization stocks -- ended up 4.25 at 484.93.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 6.40, to 1,108.15, and the New York Stock Exchange composite index gained 3.63, to 576.41 -- both back at record highs that were last set on March 24.
Leading the Dow higher, Coca-Cola jumped 3 3/16, to 80 5/8, and Procter & Gamble surged 3 3/16, to 87 9/16. Weighing on the blue-chip index, shares of Philip Morris slipped 1 3/4, to 39 15/16, and Goodyear lost 1 9/16, to 74 3/16.
While the market's rise has largely been uninterrupted since the middle of January, some analysts and traders said that they did not rule out the possibility of the market's undergoing a mild pullback in the coming weeks.
''There's a scare in this market before first-quarter earnings come out,'' said Michael Driscoll, block trader at Hambrecht & Quist. ''Between now and the next couple of weeks, we will be in for a nasty little tumble.''
Semiconductor companies led the rally in the technology sector yesterday. Micron Technology surged 2 15/16, or 10.1 percent, to 32; Texas Instruments rose 2 7/8, or 5.3 percent, to 57, and LSI Logic advanced 2, or 7.9 percent, to 27 1/4.
Despite a warning from KLA-Tencor that its third-quarter financial results would be below Wall Street's expectations, semiconductor capital equipment makers ended higher. Investors bid up shares in that industry on the assumption that the group has bottomed-out. KLA-Tencor leaped 2 3/4, or 7.2 percent, to 41.
Applied Materials jumped 2 5/16, or 6.6 percent, to 37 5/8.
Novellus Systems soared 4 7/16, or 10.3 percent, to 47 11/16, following positive comments from analysts.
Oil producers and drillers were broadly higher, rebounding from weakness earlier this week tied to disappointment over the outcome of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' emergency gathering to reduce production. Chevron closed up 2 3/16 at 82 1/2; Mobil ended up 1 13/16 at 78 7/16, and Schlumberger rose 2 1/8, to 77 7/8.
Banking-related issues were among the weakest performers as investors locked in profits following the group's recent gains. Wells Fargo fell 1/8, to 329 1/8; Bankers Trust lost 1, to 119 5/16, and J. P. Morgan slipped 11/16, to 133 5/8.
Airlines extended their losses within the last hour of trading after UAL Corporation -- the parent company of United Airlines -- said that its 1998 results would fall short of analysts' estimates, citing the economic slowdown in Asia. UAL dropped 2 11/16, to 90 1/4; AMR -- parent of American Airlines -- declined 1 11/16, to 141 1/2, and Alaska Air Group shed 7/8, to 53 5/16.
The Dow Jones transportation average ended up 1.48 at 3,578.57.
CompUSA plunged 5 1/8, or 19.6 percent, to 21, after the computer retailer said it was ''disappointed'' with its third-quarter comparable-store sales, which rose 1.2 percent from a year earlier, and warned that sales in the fourth quarter may not grow at all.

How embarrassing. How could this CEO actually even be on the conference call? How could he even face the public on this unheard of huge miss. WTF?
We needd Carl Icahn to come in and fix this mess.
It's allway's been a company as far that I can remember that was topsy turvey. They need a more disciplined approach. You talk about a industry that you have to know exactly what's going on all the time. Thought it changed doesn't look like it has. New CEO, all for it.

Calcium is needed for our heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly and for blood to clot. Inadequate calcium significantly contributes to the development of osteoporosis.
The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Without enough vitamin D, one cant form enough of the hormone calcitriol (known as the active vitamin D). This in turn leads to insufficient calcium absorption from the diet. In this situation, the body must take calcium from its stores in the skeleton, which weakens existing bone and prevents the formation of strong, new bone.

Health officials to check more Rutland homes for banned pesticideSeptember 26,2013The Associated Press
Vermont health officials believe there may be more homes in Rutland County that have been contaminated with a banned pesticide.
High levels of the chemical chlorpyrifos, banned since 2001, have forced six households to relocate; five others have been told to move.
The state says the chemical had been used by a pest control company to get rid of bed bugs. The chemical can cause nervous system and developmental disorders.
Tom Condon of the Environmental Protection Agency tells Vermont Public Radio (http://bit.ly/1b6Ygda) besides helping with the testing, the agency will also help set up a database on the cases.
North Clarendon exterminator Cary Buck has denied using chlorpyrifos; he told authorities he hasn't administered it in eight or nine years.
But officials said they found overwhelming evidence to the contrary.MORE IN This Just InVermont Psychiatric Survivors will participate in the global release of Healing Voices a...

School Library JournalYA--By early 1942, although the Germans were victorious on almost every battlefield in Europe, their drive in North Africa to seize the Suez Canal had been stopped in its tracks. More importantly, the Germans and their Italian allies were in such a perilous position that they were in danger of being pushed out of Africa altogether. Hitler sent General Erwin Rommel, soon to gain fame as the Desert Fox, to Africa to reverse the situation. Within two months, in a series of brilliant counterattacks, Rommel had forced the British back to Egypt, inflicting massive casualties and destroying or capturing thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and artillery pieces. The success of his efforts allowed the Germans to keep their toehold in Africa for another year and prevented the Allies from using the troops on another front. Mitcham's readable narrative blends first-hand accounts with official histories to capture the confusion and chaos of the campaign. The numerous maps and illustrations enable readers to follow the narrative. The book closes with a short synopsis of what happened to the officers mentioned. This is a quick read that will appeal to casual readers, but it has enough detail to sustain the interest of history buffs.--Robert Burnham, R. E. Lee High School, Springfield, VA

Editorial Reviews
BooknewsThe Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel, was the foremost strategist and tactician of his generation, and his defeat of the British forces at the important Libyan port of Tobruk in spring 1942 was the crown jewel of his military campaigns: a victory so stunning it forced a vote of confidence in the Churchill government. Mitcham Jr. (history, Hendersonville State U.) chronicles Rommel's march to Tobruk, noting the leader's ability to discern the best places and times to strike. He includes several maps and b&w photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

The problem of maximizing the spectral efficiency of an OFDMA broadcast channel is considered under the practical restriction of single antenna terminals. Given a total transmit power constraint and (possibly) different per-user quality of service (QoS) requirements, a subcarrier assignment and joint power and rate allocation algorithm is proposed to maximize a weighted sum of the users' rates (assuming continuous values for the rates). The proposed solution, which turns out to be a simple rate waterfilling, is very flexible since it can accommodate different scheduling criteria by tuning the users' weights involved in the maximization procedure. The output of the algorithm is quantized so as to restrict the rates to be practical values of squared QAM modulations. For small-sized systems, the comparison of the proposed algorithm with the optimal but impractical brute force search is possible and the results show excellent performance at a much lower complexity load.

The Buena Vista County Board of Supervisors, empathizing with handicapped persons who might need Courthouse access, Tuesday offered concerns about the new handicap access being completed on the northeast side of the Courthouse with the project architect.
Meanwhile, architect Glen Huntington assured the Board that the new access will meet ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) requirements and should allow handicapped citizens to use the Courthouse.
The Board of Supervisors approved the $60,000 handicap access improvement in order to bring the entrance in line with wheelchair slope requirements and other ADA standards.
Huntington said the new doors will meet ADA requirements, without an electronic door opener which could cost $4,300. The previous handicap access had an electronic-assist button.
Huntington said the ADA requires that doors have a five-pound pull, a level to which the doors could be set.
"To me, the best thing is to think about the person in a wheelchair trying to get in," said Supervisor Herb Crampton.
Courthouse Maintenance Supervisor Dewyne Stucynski said he had assumed there would be an automatic door opener on the updated handicap entrance. He said there would be some people who would not be able to open the door.
"Legally, you don't have to have it," Huntington said.
"I think you're going to have some complaints if you don't," Stucynski said.
While two options were discussed, either a push button or electronic door handle assist, Huntington said a push button option might be the only one available for the doors that are being installed.
"I sure don't want to discourage the handicapped people from coming in here," said Supervisor Dick Vail.
Huntington said the door could be adjusted for a five-pound pull and see whether that satisfies the needs of Courthouse patrons.
"I think he's got to get the cost of the push button and the assist so we can make a decision," said Vice Chair Bill Lanphere.
The board agreed to have the doors installed as planned. Meanwhile, Huntington will obtain prices on both the electronic handle assist and the push button options.

Sen. Tom Coburn defends Medicare proposal, says it's necessary to save the program
WASHINGTON — Sen. Tom Coburn said that "nobody's going to like" the plan he and Sen. Joseph Lieberman unveiled Tuesday to save $600 billion in Medicare costs over the next decade, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and the AARP quickly rejected it.
But the two senators warned at a news conference that Medicare would only survive if changes are made soon to shore up its finances.
On a related matter, Coburn, R-Muskogee, told reporters that the $9 trillion deficit reduction plan he and his staff are working on would include about $1 trillion in new revenues, meaning higher taxes for some.
The Medicare proposal developed by Coburn and Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, calls for higher premiums, an increase in the eligibility age from 65 to 67 and other measures to pare $600 billion from projected Medicare spending.
"We can't save Medicare as we know it," Lieberman said at a news conference. "We can only save Medicare if we change it."
About 50 million Americans receive Medicare benefits, and another 20 million are expected to join the health care program for the elderly in the next decade, Lieberman said, adding that the average person receives three times in benefits what he pays into the system through taxes and premiums.
"If we do nothing, Medicare will go broke and take our government down with it," Lieberman said.
Acknowledging the tricky politics surrounding entitlement programs, Coburn said, "Nobody's going to like this plan; we understand that."
He said, though, that the need to take immediate action overrode the politics of the issue.
Democrat responds
Pelosi, D-Calif., called the senators' plan "unacceptable."
"It is unfair to ask seniors to get less in benefits and wait longer to get onto Medicare — all while Republicans back tax breaks for Big Oil and corporations that ship American jobs overseas," she said.
The AARP, the nation's largest lobby group for seniors, praised some elements of the proposal — including the $7,500 annual cap on out-of-pocket expenses and the stabilization of physician payments — but said the savings come from cost-shifting and reducing benefits.
AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond said, "Simply shifting the bill to seniors does nothing to improve health care quality or combat the real problem of rising costs."
Coburn argued that some parts of the plan would reduce costs because people would be more reluctant to seek services if they had to pay out of pocket for them.
Part of plan
to reduce deficit
Coburn intends to include changes to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid in the 10-year, $9 trillion deficit-reduction plan he has been working on for the past month. He told reporters Tuesday that he is still working on the details.
Asked how much would be new revenue, Coburn said, "It will be around a trillion."
As negotiations continue over how to avoid a debt crisis in August, House and Senate Republican leaders have rejected any new taxes, including the elimination of tax breaks for individuals and businesses.
Coburn has said that new revenue would be necessary to deal with the nation's rapidly escalating debt, and he is expected to target numerous tax breaks while proposing lower overall rates. The president's fiscal commission, on which Coburn served, recommended last year about $1 trillion in new revenue over 10 years through modifying or eliminating tax breaks.

* Brahimi discusses peace talks with U.S., Russian envoys
* Russia says Iran must be invited to "Geneva 2" conference
* Syria says no way will Assad hand over power
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi met U.S. andRussian officials on Tuesday to discuss convening long-delayedSyrian peace talks this year despite disputes over PresidentBashar al-Assad's future and whether his ally Iran can attend.
Hours earlier, Damascus reiterated that Assad will stay inpower come what may, casting doubt on the political transitionthat is the main focus of the proposed "Geneva 2" conference.
Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, conferredwith U.S. Under Secretary Wendy Sherman, U.S. ambassador toSyria Robert Ford and Russian deputy foreign ministers MikhailBogdanov and Gennady Gatilov at the United Nations in Geneva.
After their closed-door talks, they were to be joined byofficials from the other three U.N. Security Council permanentmembers Britain, France and China, as well as Syria's neighboursIraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, and the Arab League.
A U.N. source said that even if a conference date could notbe announced immediately, the aim was to "at least see that allthe parties and groups are ready for a date".
This is by no means certain, given gaping internationaldivisions over Syria and the disarray among Assad's opponents.
The Syrian leader himself appears in no mood for compromise.
"Syria - the state, the nation and the people - will remainand...Assad will be president of this country all the time theyare dreaming that he isn't," the Syrian state news agency quotedInformation Minister Omran Zoabi as saying on Monday night.
International efforts to end the conflict in Syria, whichhas killed well over 100,000 people, driven millions from theirhomes and further destabilised the region, have floundered.
"One thing is certain, there is no military solution for theconflict in Syria," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said inWarsaw on Tuesday, asserting again that Assad must go.
"I don't know how anybody believes the opposition is goingto give mutual consent to Assad to continue," he said.
The proposed peace conference is meant to build on a June2012 agreement among world powers in Geneva that called for atransitional authority with full executive powers, but left openwhether the Syrian president could play any part.
Russia said Iran must be invited to any such peace talks,after the main Syrian political opposition leader said hiscoalition would not attend if Tehran took part.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also rejected Syrian NationalCoalition chief Ahmad Jarba's demand for a time-frame for Assadto quit, ruling out any such preconditions for "Geneva 2".
"All those with influence on the situation must certainly beinvited," Lavrov told a news conference. "This includes not onlyArab countries but also Iran."
However, he indicated that Iran and other outside playersneed only be represented at the outset of the conferenceproposed by the United States and Russia.
"At subsequent stages the Syrians - as conceived by theRussian-American duet and supported by everyone else - will talkto each other directly with mediation by...Brahimi and histeam," Lavrov said.
Saudi Arabia and the United States oppose any invitation forIran, which along with Russia, is a firm ally of Assad.
The Arab League gave its blessing on Sunday to the proposedpeace talks and urged the opposition to form a delegation underthe leadership of Jarba's coalition.
But even with Arab diplomatic cover, it is unclear whetherthe opposition, which has scant influence with rebels fightingin Syria, some of them linked to al Qaeda, will attend.
"The Qataris have been trying to hammer out a unitedposition between the opposition, but I don't think they willsucceed," said an Arab diplomat in Geneva.
"The Saudi position is complicating things, they are not tooexcited about Geneva 2 any more after they made that big stink,"he said, alluding to a Saudi refusal of a Security Council seat.
Riyadh is angry over what it sees as a weak U.S. commitmentto removing Assad, especially since Obama dropped a threat ofair strikes after a poison gas attack near Damascus in August.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal criticised Iranon Monday, saying it was helping Assad strike his own people.
In response, Zoabi, the Syrian information minister, said:"We promise that Saudi diplomacy will fail, whether Geneva goesahead or not. We will not go to Geneva in order to hand overpower, as al-Faisal and some of the opposition abroad hope."
"If that was the case we would have handed it over inDamascus and saved the effort and price of the airline ticket,"he said.
In Geneva, the U.N. source said any date for the conferencewould be formally set by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon,probably after the Syrian opposition meets on Nov. 9.
"Mr. Brahimi would like to see the conference this year, hedoesn't want to see it postponed," the source said.

Late last year we secured angel investment for an exciting new kind of mobile giving app. Called altruly, we're looking to reimagine how people give, manage and monitor their personal giving portfolios. App development started last month and we're looking at early summer onwards for an official launch.
When I started out in development I had no idea what I'd be able to do to help solve some of the huge, complex problems out there. But that lack of certainty – and an absence of obvious answers – turned out to be a far better starting point than I ever imagined.
In both my books – The Rise of the Reluctant Innovator from 2013 and Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation published this March – I make no secret of my early struggles to find meaning and purpose.
In The Rise of the Reluctant Innovator and my more recent book, Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation, I dedicate more than a few pages to emerging best practice in technology-for-development projects.
If you're a socially-focussed tech organisation working with refugees, it's been a pretty tough few months. Not only have you had to deal with the ever-growing number of people fleeing conflict – now at record levels – but you've had to deal with the politics of the 'humanitarian technology sector'.
Earlier last week I stumbled into a post on Chris Blattman's website provocatively titled 'Is this the most effective development program in history?' It in, he shares the story of how, in 2011, the Nigerian government handed out $60 million to 1,200 Nigerians – that's a
