Comments about Mens CW-X Revolution Fitted Tights:
Just got this new tight last week and I must say this is the best CW-X tight so far. I have been using CW-X tights for the past three years and this design is by far the lightest they have ever made. The material is also extremely comfortable to wear and has been great for early fall runs here in New England. The support in CW-X in the knee area and hips continues to be excellent. I can't run without these things any more. They are expensive, but they really do make a difference. I highly recommend these. Great for recovery after a long run as well. Their Stabilyx Tights are also good if these are too expensive.

Comments about Mens CW-X Revolution Fitted Tights:
Bought to replace older pair of CW-X tights. These are superior in comfort, lighter weight, with equal warmth, and even better compression. So snug, a little difficult to position for the knee, but 2-3 tugs gets it there. Expensive, but worth it if you run regularly regardless of weather.

I use these for road cycling. I do about 10,000 miles a year and have started wearing long sleeve and leg clothing year round here in southwest Florida and on my travels. They are light weight, perfect fit for my size...6', 175 pounds. They are pricey but with the amount of use they are worth it. I have some other CW tights from years ago and if these wear as well as my old ones it will be a long time before I'll need any others.

To me, this is a pretty interesting rifle. It only weighs 6 lbs.! But, why only three caliber choices? 6.5-284, 270, 30-06

i wonder how they handle recoil?
Elkoholic307 I looked at one at the shot show this winter. Its under 6 pounds even with a wooden stock and has a 22" barrel. I think one of the reasons they didn't make it in magnum is the issue of factory ammo not burning off with that short barrel. Plus having a lighter barrel to keep the weight down it's going to heat up fast after a few shots. Savage really makes sure rifles that go out the door can hold a excellent group. I asked them about a magnum in the Lightweight and they seem not interested.
Jay I would put a Sims vibration pad for recoil on they work very well. Have one on my 7 mm magnum and africa gun, its a 458 Lott. Savage is a sponsor of the TV show. Saying that, all the Savage rifles I have drive tacks. And that trigger can be set to 3 pounds, which I shoot. It works for me but I'm not a gun nut. Heck, from 1971 until well into the 90's I used the same rifle for all my big game hunting. Mike

Mike, the gun you hunted with for 20+ years, what was that? Which of the Savage rifles out now would you recommend for all around big game hunting. I have a thread open already on this topic under GUNS, would like to get your input, thanks.
I came home from the Army in 70 and a guy at Jackson Hole Sports said to look at this new rifle. It was a Ruger 77 and was of course, plain Jane. I packed it around for a long time. One time a horse rolled on it and broke the stock, they fixed it no problem. Oh, it was in the 7MM Rem. Magnum. I still shoot that in the Savage. I really like that gun as it can hold a nickel group. I shoot 160 gr. Nosler Partitions for almost everything. Not much on switching riles. Mike

Kevin Owens to WWE
When he recently showed up on Monday Night Raw, many were under the assumption that this was just a cameo stint for Kevin Owens. However, news has now surfaced that it is going to be a permanent thing. The heavyweight champion has apparently been informed by the front office that he will be moving to the main roster. A new contract has reportedly been signed. Owens will still make NXT appearances to close up any loose ends first.

Seth Rollins interviews
Here is some good news for those of you that are still worried that Seth Rollins might be punished by WWE for the nude scandal. As many of you already know, the promotion is currently doing a tour of the Middle East. Despite the negative publicity that has been surrounding him, Rollins is still being utilized by management for media appearances. That means that the company does not view him as a liability to their overall brand at this point in time.

Brock Lesnar returning to Raw
Good news for those of you who have been complaining that Brock Lesnar does not make enough appearances in WWE. The world heavyweight champion is currently scheduled to be on Monday Night Raw next week. The belief is that he will kick start the promotions for his upcoming title match against John Cena at the Royal Rumble. Management might also have him tease a potential feud with Seth Rollins as well, in order to keep the Money in the Bank briefcase relevant.

Wayne Williams Metal - Metal MasteryWritten by on July 1, 2002 Using Molds To Clone Rare Parts
You hear lots of wild stories at car shows. Some are even true. One tale that really got our attention involved a shop thats cranking out brand-new aluminum 63 Pontiac Super Duty fenders, 62 Z11 Impala hoods, 63 Galaxie lightweight bumpers, 64-65 Race Hemi hood scoops, and a dazzling assortment of other exotic goodies. It had to be a jokethis stuff is the rarest of the rare. But its true. The shop is Wayne Williams Metal Shaping, and his handformed reproductions are as close as you can get to original without investing millions on dies and massive stamping equipment.
Wayne opened his first body shop in 1958 back in his home state of Illinois. He specialized in custom bodywork and was the man to see for a shave, chop, channel, or french. Since then, hes perfected a way of duplicating metal stampings with the use of a mold. It goes like this. Say a customer wants an aluminum door for his 64 Race Hemi. He brings a standard steel door to Wayne Williams, and the door is painstakingly disassembled. Welds are drilled, cut, or ground, then a female mold is made from each individual stamping. The female molds are coated with adhesive-backed wax equal to the thickness of the final aluminum part, and special cement is poured into the mold. What results is a male replica that is then used as a hammer form, or buck, upon which an aluminum sheet is clamped and the tedious panel-beating begins. Upon completion, the new handformed aluminum panels are welded together, and presto, youve got a door.
Without Waynes ingenious technique of pulling a mold from the original part, the finished product would be an interpretation of the original, not a duplicate. Theres a big difference. Sure, theres still plenty of highly skilled handforming with specialized hammers, but the mold simplifies the process and ensures a perfect replica with all of the original contours, wrinkles, and dimensions. While the demonstrations shown here are specific to the realm of high-dollar factory Super Stock restorations, the technique applies equally to street rod, drag race, or custom machinery. Check it out and let your mind ponder the possibilities. If you want to know more, Wayne will soon be offering a how-to videotape that goes into further detail.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
This 150-pound hammer form is used to make aluminum Chrysler Max Wedge hood scoops. It is made from UltraCal 30, a high-density gypsum-based cement that doesn't shrink as it dries.Hiding beneath the cement is a sheet of 5/16-inch-thick steel plate gently bent to duplicate the contour of the hood. Wayne's finger points to the exposed steel around the edge that creates a factory-correct 90-degree roll-under flange on the finished scoop. Because the metal replica is only as good as the hammer form, most hammer forms require a steel substrate to add strength, increase life, and prevent chipped corners.Freeman adhesive coated sheet wax is applied to the female mold that makes the hammer form. It compensates for the thickness of the metal. Without it, the hammer form and every part it makes would be 0.050 inch too large.When it comes to panel forming, there's no substitute for experience… and the right tools. The size, weight, and hardness of the hammer face determine how the force of a blow is transferred to the metal. Though Wayne has more than 100 different hammers, these are the basics for aluminum work (from L to R): the large and small leather hammers absorb the force of blows and are used on curved radiuses where a gentle touch is needed; the large and small black plastic dead-blow hammers provide minimal damping and are used to flow long contours; the wood-face hickory hammer is harder, and the increased force is good for concentrated shrinking; the teardrop-shaped Delrin plastic hammer is very effective at transferring force and is used for making radiuses (small end) and helmet-sized shapes like headlight buckets (large end).The aluminum sheet (not shown) must be clamped to the hammer form to keep it from sliding around during the forming process. This is another reason the steel sheet backing is necessary. Without it, the clamps would quickly destroy the unprotected cement. Soft, 3/4-inch-thick pine planks easily conform when clamped. Wayne begins with a sheet of aluminum that covers the entire form plus an extra inch of overlap to allow tidy trimming. He works from the center outward.Metal forming is essentially a series of coordinated shrinking and stretching operations. Instead of direct blows that compress and deform metal upon impact, use glancing blows that skid across the metal. As the aluminum bends and conforms, it work-hardens and gains strength.When it comes to stamped-steel parts, Wayne devised a similar method but hit a few dead ends along the way. The metal part in this photo is a rare brake backing plate vent cover from a '62-'63 Z11 Chevy. These things don't grow on trees. To make a copy, Wayne tried hammering sheetmetal over a hand-carved wood pattern (shown), but it proved to be too soft and quickly deformed under the hard hammer blows required to shape steel.The solution was yet another mold. This time an original metal part was used to make a female mold impression. Then a male pattern was made from UltraCal 30 gypsum cement (top). Wayne took the cement pattern, coated it with shellac, and brought it to a local aluminum foundry. By pressing the pattern into foundry sand, female molds were made and filled with molten aluminum that hardened into a durable, reusable hammer form (middle).
Steel isn't as flexible as aluminum, so the forming process must involve fewer bending operations to avoid fracture. Specialized hammers are required. From L to R: the Delrin hammer is used for roughing the steel over the form without causing compression blemishes; the leather hammer is used for shrinking bulges and restoring flatness; the trio of steel pick hammers is used to form intricate contours and deep recesses.Here Wayne uses a pick hammer to apply the finishing touches. Steel requires a more gradual process than aluminum.This male pattern taken from a steel '63 Chevy front bumper is made of gypsum cement and steel and allows Wayne to periodically check the accuracy of an aluminum replica during construction. It simply slips into the back of the new part and calls immediate attention to unwanted irregularities so they can be corrected.

390 Bar & Grill
For my husband's birthday our daughter's friend encourages us to have dinner at the 390 Bar and Grill located in Kauffman Stadium. We are told that the restaurant opens 2 hours before game time. We arrive at the stadium at 4:55 only to be told that the gates to the stadium/restaurant do not open until 5:30, so we grabbed a rock and waited….. 5:30 we were let in and made the trek around the concourse to the 3rd base side where we were told the restaurant doesn't open until 6….. Needless to say at 6 we were one of the first ones in. The bartender points us the way thru the bar, thru the restaurant, to the woman taking names. That woman informs us that alllll the tables in the restaurant are reserved but that we could walk back thru the restaurant, thru the bar, and the same bartender would take our dinner order and we could sit in the bar area. Desperate for the experience we decide to see it through. We order dinner from a taxed and unprepared bartender,,, at the bar, she nor a waitress come to you. We order immediately, a classic burger no cheese and fries for my husband with a bottle of beer, Caesar salad no chicken and a draft beer for me, $38.00.
Then we wait……………………………………….
I would say that the restaurant is on the 3rd level, if you are sitting at one of the reserved tables your view is probably much better since you are sitting up against the glass, trying to best describe it…the bar/lounge sits at the back of the restaurant. From the bar your view is obscured by large beams that run between the glass. The restaurant/bar is located in left field and so is the Royals bullpen, so we completely enjoyed watching Perez and Chen warm-up before the game while we drink our beer and waited for dinner.
We're still waiting at 6:35, when a restaurant employee comes over and apologizes for our wait and ensures us that it will only be another few minutes………….we wait some more……………..National Anthem………still waiting………..Now I go over to the same restaurant employee, who looks at me like he has never seen me before and remind him about our dinner, 10 minutes later we receive an excuse but still no dinner, 10 minutes after that we receive the wrong dinner, a Caesar salad with chicken and a cheeseburger, I sent my salad back but my starving husband refuses to send back his cheeseburger, and eats as fast as any human can. Yep the burger was good, the fries were eh and I never did get my salad. The manager refunded our 38.00 bucks. We hurried out stopping along the way to get a Brat. We finally made it down to our front row seats behind the dugout by the 4th inning. I ate my brat, drank a beer, and totally enjoyed myself.
Be aware that the day to day hours of operation are very unclear, whether you are checking their Facebook , their website, or relying on an employee. Of course you can try to call the restaurant like I did……and leave a message???? HA
Reservations come on a good luck basis, and Allll those reserved tables were still empty at the 4th inning when we left!

Village News
Renovations progress at pool, new court
1 2 3 Next page >
It's been a busy winter for village workers. At a time of year when outdoor projects are typically put aside — except for the occasional snow plowing — it's the insides of Valley Stream's facilities that get the most attention.
When Valley Streamers head back to the pool this summer, they will notice a few changes. Village crews are currently renovating the locker rooms, which have not be redone since the pool complex opened in 1960.
At 195 Rockaway Ave., the newest addition to Valley Stream's collection of property, work is progressing on the Village Hall annex, which will soon house several law enforcement departments and eventually the courtroom.
The building, which was constructed in 1926, housed Village Hall in the 1940s and early 1950s, before it was sold off. When the building went up for sale two years ago, village officials took interest, and officially acquired it late last year.
The second floor will house offices for the court, Public Safety, Code Enforcement and Auxiliary Police. John Mastromarino, the former village treasurer, has been tasked with managing the day-to-day operations of the building. He said the second floor is in good shape and those departments, with the exception court staffers, should be able to move in by the end of the month.
No construction was required on the second floor, as it was used up until recently by a law firm. The only work needed, Mastromarino said, was a good thorough cleaning and some paint touch-up. Much of the furniture left behind was in good condition and will be re-purposed, he explained.
The first floor, which formerly housed a bank, needs significantly more work. The teller windows have been removed and the carpet torn up. The drop ceiling, lights and duct work will be removed and the original ceiling will be restored to capture the art-deco architecture.
Jimmy Neal, the village carpenter, will do the restoration himself, and said it will take about 10 days to repair the molding to its original 1926 state.

Lots of proposed changes in election laws are being discussed in Columbus.
Some Republicans are reviving talk of requiring voters to have identification, revisiting a proposal Ohio has passed on implementing.
Big-name Republicans, including Governor Kasich and Secretary of State Jon Husted, are rejecting an idea to change an all-or-nothing formula for Presidential election electoral votes.
Two states now split votes based on which candidates win individual Congressional Districts. That could have given Mitt Romney a majority of Ohio's 18 electoral votes, which all went to President Obama.
Prospective Secretary of State candidate State Senator Nina Turner is proposing reforms to expand early voting and accept more provisional ballots.
Which proposals have a realistic chance of passing?
What is shaping the Republican strategy?
Governor Kasich's re-election budget will be rolled out Monday.
Key provisions will include a new school funding plan, an income tax cut at least partly based on higher natural gas/oil extraction taxes and a decision whether to expand Medicaid.
What are the likely prospects for each?
Cleveland Police need more time to conduct their investigation into the November pursuit that ended in a hail of gunfire, killing two suspects.
Will that add to the probe's ultimate credibility or strengthen conspiracy theories?
Tom Beres discusses these issues with Plain Dealer Columnists Mark Naymik and Joe Frolik on this edition of Between the Lines.

Printer permissions determine which printer properties you can manage, such as renaming or sharing a printer, allowing or removing access to the printer, and determining who can manage documents or properties for the printer. Printer permissions are typically managed by the person who installed the printer or, if the printer is connected to a business or enterprise network, by a system administrator.
Permissions can be assigned to each person who uses the printer or to a group of users who have the same type of user account. Members of the administrators group on the computer, for example, have permission to manage printers by default.
Windows offers four types of printer permissions:
Print. By default, each user can print and cancel, pause, or restart documents or files that they send to a printer.
Manage documents. If you have this permission, you can manage all jobs for a printer that are waiting in the print queue, including documents or files that are being printed by other users. For more information, see View the print queue.
Manage printers. This permission allows you to rename, delete, share, and choose preferences for the printer. It also allows you to choose printer permissions for other users and to manage all jobs for the printer. Members of the administrator group for a computer have permission to manage printers by default.
Special permissions. These permissions, typically used only by system administrators, can be used to change the printer owner, if needed. The printer CREATOR OWNER is given all printer permissions and is, by default, the person who installs the printer.

Q. Occasionally, we having problems stripping product from self-stressing, vessel-type forms. When we strip it from the form, the product is spawling or cracking. What can we do to prevent this?
A. First, check that the form is installed straight. Next check that your form is in good condition. You can't strip product from a form that is warped or bowed. If there are any noticeable dips or bows in the form, they need to be straightened.
How the form is installed, the substructure, and how the form is used all affect if the form stays straight and true.
Next, check that the form is properly anchored. When you tension a self-stressing form, it shortens. Conversely, when you detension, the form elongates due to the release of force. Steel forms also expand and contract with temperature change. To help control the movement of your form, the form should be:
You also should check your detensioning method. During detensioning in a vessel type form, the form elongates due to the release of the prestressed force. When detensioning, try to minimize product movement in the form; keep the product where it was cast. To do that, balance the shortening of the product against the elongation of the form by evenly dispersing the release of force when you detension the bed.
Here's an example of a detensioning pattern for a double tee form:
Precast producers sometimes release strand depressors or hold-downs as a first step in detensioning. This creates uplift on the product while still in a stressed (tensioned) mode. Normally, you should detension about 40% of the longitudinal strand before releasing the depressing load.
When detensioning other vessel forms, use the same method of cutting simultaneously from each end and moving in to the center of the bed and then out again. But cut the strand in the center of the strand pattern first. Then move to opposite ends of the pattern as you continue detensioning.
The key to successfully detensioning a bed is to ease the pressure off of the form to minimize the movement of the product in the form and make stripping easier.
Before making any changes to your detensioning method, be sure to check with your engineer.

WASHINGTON, DC -- A judge here has just turned down requests from media lawyers for access to a series of unusual post-conviction hearings for Igmar Guandique, the Salvadoran immigrant a jury was convinced murdered Washington intern Chandra Levy.
The hearings are important enough that marshals brought the gang member up from a federal prison in Alabama, where he is doing 60 years for attacking Levy, 24, while she was jogging in Rock Creek Park in May, 2001.
But the only information released publicly about the hearings is that they involve a witness, and that there are safety concerns.
Chandra Levy's parents are convinced defense attorneys are trying to get Guandique's conviction tossed out.
Prosecutors are demanding the proceedings remains secret. Defense attorneys actually agree with the media and want them open. But the DC Court of Appeals just denied a request by Guandique's lawyers to open the hearings and the transcripts.
Chandra Levy's disappearance in 2001 was the center of a world-wide media blitz after police figured out she was having an affair with married Rep. Gary Condit (R-CA).

Air Gap and Non-Air Gap R.O. Faucets
What is a Non-Air Gap or Air Gap R.O. Faucet ?
Reverse Omosis (RO) Faucets come in many different styles and finishes. They are also manufactured with either an Air Gap or a Non-Air Gap feature, and some are capable of both. An Air Gap prevents backflow of reject water, back into the R.O. System. This backflow prevention is built into the base of the R.O. Faucet. The idea is to remove the remote possibility of wastewater, sewage, etc. backing up into the reverse osmosis system and contaminating the potable water supply or RO system components.
When the reject water is coming from the R.O. System and being directed to the drain under the sink, it goes up in to the R.O. Faucet first, then down across the gap of air, into another tube which is then directed into the drain for the kitchen sink. There is a hole drilled in the side of the base of the R.O. Faucet where the air gap is, so IF the reject water were to ever backflow up towards the Faucet, it would simply run out of the drilled hole, into the kitchen sink. The easy way to tell if your faucet is an Air Gap or Non-air Gap, just look for the hole in the side of the base of the faucet. If there is not a hole, you do not have an Air Gap Faucet. This is referred to as a NON-Air Gap R.O. Faucet. Another way to tell, an Air Gap Faucet will have THREE connections on the bottom side of the base of the Faucet.
An Air Gap R.O. Faucet has three water connections :
- At the bottom of the threaded stem of the faucet is the main pure water supply connection. The connection can be made with a traditional brass 1/4" compression fitting, or some faucets have a length of 1/4" tubing already affixed to the faucet. In this case, most R.O. Systems have a 3/8" supply, so you would need a 3/8" X 1/4" quick connect reducer to connect the two different sizes.
- The second connection of an Air Gap Faucet is the 1/4" reject water line from the R.O. System. This line is always 1/4" from the R.O. and connects to the faucet with a barbed connection. So the 1/4" tubing simply pushes on to the barbed fitting. This reject water is coming from the R.O. under pressure.
- The third connection of an Air Gap Faucet is the 3/8" drain line, coming down from the bottom of the faucet, going to the drain saddle at the sink drain. This is a larger 3/8" tube since the reject water has dropped over the gap of air in the base of the R.O. Faucet, and is no longer under pressure. This connection at the faucet is also made with a barbed fitting.
How do you know if you need an Air Gap R.O. Faucet?
Air gap faucets are required in some areas by local plumbing codes. You will need to check your local plumbing code to see if you are required to install an air gap faucet. In some areas you can install a check valve in the drain line for backflow prevention. Some R.O. Systems have a check valve and flow restrictor combined in one piece. This allows the use of a Non-Air Gap faucet.
Noise from an Air Gap R.O. Faucet can sometimes be an issue. With the Air Gap, water is running thru the base of the faucet, across the gap of air, then down to the sink drain. This function can be a little noisy. Of course with the Non-Air Gap Faucet, the reject water from the R.O. System is going directly from the R.O. to the drain. This is a much quieter operation. Either type of R.O. Faucet will work on any R.O. System.

Friday Afternoon News, November 16
Jandreau Trial - Day 3
(Le Mars) -- Day three of the Matthew Jandreau trial heard testimony from the Defense side. Jandreau's mother and step brother testified this morning. Jandreau's mother Carolyn Provost said in court this morning that she consumed alcoholic beverages during the time she was pregnant with Matthew Jandreau. Mrs. Provost indicated that her son Matthew lived with her until he was of the age of three when she had moved out and Matthew then lived with his father and other relatives until he was of the age 19. She mentioned the living conditions of which Matthew Jandreau was raised were "not an ideal environment." Provost testified that there was considerable amount of drinking alcohol and intoxication found in the home where Jandreau was raised. Provost testified that at age 13, Matthew was sent to a juvenile detention facility for bringing a pellet gun and pills to school. Provost admitted she often would drink with her son, but said under oath that she has never witnessed him in a "black out" condition where he couldn't remember previous episodes. When asked if she ever witnessed Matthew doing any "bizzare things" while intoxicated? She responded by telling the defense attorney that once Matthew had gotten to the point of intoxication that he was on the floor and rolled himself up inside a carpet rug, and had the carpet coiled around him, then he started kicking. Provost visited her son in jail on one occasion and said her son told her that he didn't remember any of the events from March 2nd, and the last thing he remembers was when he "woke up from being intoxicated" he appeared before the judge the following day. Jandreau's step brother Raleigh Provost testified that there was a lot of drinking, violence, at the home where Jandreau lived. He said the relatives which was where Jandreau grew up often would abuse him and "grab him on the neck" and "throw him into a small bedroom and lock the door." Jandreau lived in Wagner, South Dakota until he was of the age of 19, when he moved to Le Mars to again reside with his mother. Trial has recessed until 9:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Liquor Sales On The Increase
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State officials say they think changes in where hard liquor can be sold and new flavored drinks popular with women and young people are behind a jump in hard liquor sales.
The Gazette in Cedar Rapids reports (http://bit.ly/S2XHrr ) a 6.4 percent increase in sales of hard liquor in the fiscal year ending June 30.
Alcoholic Beverages Division officials say some of that increase is due to new flavors of liquor that appeal to young people and women.
A change in state law also factored into the increase. Convenience stores no longer must segregate liquor in separate areas or sell items at separate registers.
In the last fiscal year, Iowans age 21 and older drank an average of 35.6 gallons of beer, 2.23 gallons of spirits and 1.9 gallons of wine.
U of I President Apologizes For Athletic Official
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - University of Iowa President Sally Mason is apologizing for the school's failure to protect athletes and employees in its handling of a former athletics department official
accused of sexual harassment.
Mason said in a statement Friday that the university will make changes to avoid a repeat of what she called an "isolated breakdown" in the case of Peter Gray, who resigned last week after working as associate director of athletics student services since 2002.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen published an internal report that accused Gray of violating the school's sexual harassment policy through improper touching that included shoulder massages, hugging
and rubbing. The report says the behavior dated back to Gray's earlier employment at Iowa in the 1990s and continued despite complaints from colleagues, coaches and at least one athlete.
Insurance Company Doesn't Need To Pay For House Fire
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Supreme Court says an insurance company does not have to cover the property damage suffered by a widow whose husband burnt down their house to commit suicide.
The court ruled Friday that Michelle Postell of Dixon doesn't qualify for help under her longstanding fire insurance policy with American Family Insurance.
Postell's estranged husband poured gasoline and lit the house on fire in 2009 to kill himself while the couple was separated.
Michelle Postell had paid the premiums on the fire insurance policy for 20 years, and planned to move back into the home she co-owned after her husband moved out.
The court says her husband intentionally caused a loss under the policy, and so she cannot recover even though she had nothing to do with the fire.
Internal Report Uses Farm Bureau Language On Waste Regulation
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The draft of a state report detailing how agencies should regulate pollution from farms and sewage treatment plants includes passages apparently taken from Iowa Farm Bureau Federation publications.
The Des Moines Register reported Friday that at least two passages in the draft report appeared to be largely lifted from farm bureau publications.
Those passages dealt with a preference for voluntary approaches to prevent runoff pollution and the amount of pollution found in wells.
Some Iowa Department of Natural Resources staffers have objected to parts of the report about agricultural runoff.
The draft report dated Oct. 8 hasn't been released, but the Register obtained a copy.
Gov. Terry Branstad, Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey and Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator Karl Brooks couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday or Thursday.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The U.S. men's national soccer team has
already been "warned," according to coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Winning matches in
CONCACAF is not guaranteed, especially on the road, no matter the opponent.
"We have been warned," Klinsmann said, "and we are aware of it."
The United States has yet to win on the road in two qualifiers and CONCACAF is
just at the semifinal group stage. The Americans tied Guatemala, 1-1, in June,
on the road and lost at Jamaica, 2-1, in September.
Level on seven points with Guatemala and Jamaica with two matches remaining in
the round, the United States cannot afford to drop points in its final fixture
away from home during the semifinal stage at Antigua and Barbuda on Friday.
Not with a World Cup appearance at stake.
Klinsmann was not foolish enough to put anything in the bag. Even against the
weakest team in the group.
Antigua and Barbuda has just one point from its first four games, but the tiny
Caribbean nation tied Jamaica at home in June and lost only, 1-0, to Guatemala
at home in September.
"This is not an easy game," Klinsmann said. "It's going to be a difficult game
because, for them, it's the game of the decade."
The United States may want to approach the match the exact same way. A regular
in the World Cup since 1990, the Americans are walking a fine line.
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua could be the site that can
leave the Americans the brink of elimination from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil
- or helps them put one foot in the final stage in CONCACAF.
With just a home match against Guatemala remaining Tuesday in this part of the
qualifying tournament, three points on the road would put the United States in
position to seal its advancement with another win at home.
"The points ... are the most important thing," Klinsmann said.
The top two teams from Group A, one of three four-team groups in the semifinal
stage, will advance to the final qualifying round in CONCACAF.
The United States will throw style out the window for a win, and with injuries
piling up in the days leading up the match, that will be the only goal.
Landon Donovan is out with a knee injury, Fabian Johnson has the flu, and Brek
Shea and Edgar Castillo are others sidelined with injury.
Klinsmann will welcome one crucial piece back in midfielder Michael Bradley, a
dynamic presence in the center of the field who was missing for both September
qualifiers against Jamaica. The Americans edged Jamaica at home, 1-0.
"It's not fun," Bradley said. "Hopefully, it's the last time for a while that
I won't be around."
The United States just hopes to be around for a while longer in qualifying, as
an exit at this stage would likely cost Klinsmann his job, and have a negative
impact on the program.
Although Klinsmann has guided the United States to historic wins in Italy and
Mexico, a win at Antigua and Barbuda would quickly become the most meaningful
away win of his tenure. Because this time, there is much more on the line.
The United States has been warned not to take anything for granted.

Content is a business asset. And like any other business asset, whether it be real estate, equipment, intellectual property or personnel, it has value. That value can depreciate over time if care is not taken to regularly inventory and audit content against current and future business objectives.
Tweets, Facebook postings, and other social media channels can put brands into a cycle of knee-jerk reactions that do not necessarily reflect their company values. So much of what passes for great social media is pointless and off-brand.
Social is so prevalent in our world today. We see it being used everywhere and in everything we do, from service appointments, to coupon offers, to brand purchases, to a blog or Facebook posting.
Recent studies from the Content Marketing Institute and Contently give us some insight into whether content marketing is an effective tool for engaging with consumers.
After my wife returned from a retreat, she recounted a workshop on identifying truth, and it got me thinking about the difference between fundamentals and truths. I further began to consider whether, as content creators, any truths can be found in what we do.
Why ad agencies, PR firms, digital content and social media providers can't do everything well
Despite recent predictions that print media is a dying industry, there's plenty of evidence that Chicken Little might be ringing that particular death knell. In fact, print remains a thriving tool in today's multifaceted marketing and communication landscape. Content King Juliet Stott recently sat down with MSP-C creative director and Delta Sky editor-in-chief Jayne Haugen Olson to discuss the thriving role of print magazines, the secret to Sky's success and why this channel remains a vital source of readership and engagement.
In-house Content King and MSP-C president Gary Johnson has been in the content business "since the time of Solomon," and has witnessed the extreme ebb-and-flow of technology's role.
At this point, the leaked New York Times innovation report might well serve as the best piece of investigative journalism The Times has produced all year.
According to some experts, the power of brands has weakened because customer feedback on the Internet has flipped the marketing dynamics on its head. John Foley, an author and the CEO of LEVEL Brand, recently reacted in a post disputing the idea and clarifies what is really happening. We agree with him and enjoyed his post enough that we wanted to share it. Leave John a comment below with your thoughts.

This is National Health Center Week. As part of the observance, Greater Meridian Health Clinic is stressing the importance of washing your hands.
Germs, viruses, and sickness in general can often be prevented by simply washing hands often and correctly.
Officials stress using hot water, washing under fingernails, and washing for 20 seconds before rinsing hands for 10 seconds.
After drying your hands, use the same paper towel to turn off the water to prevent re-contamination.

Oil change
"Oil change" Continued...
Nearly 100 days after oil began gushing into Gulf Coast waters, BP announced plans aimed at plugging its own corporate problems: The company said embattled CEO Tony Hayward would resign his post on Oct. 1. His replacement-Robert Dudley-would become the first American to head the British company. Dudley grew up in Hattiesburg, Miss., and took over cleanup operations on the Gulf Coast after a series of blunders by Hayward.
Workers temporarily capped the well on July 15, and BP said it hoped to finish a permanent relief well by mid-August. Plenty of work still remains: Government scientists estimate the gusher has poured some 94 million gallons of oil into the Gulf. But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration offered some good news: The federal agency is re-opening some 26,000 square miles of federal waters to recreational and commercial fishing. That leaves about 25 percent of federal waters in the Gulf (and thousands of square miles of state waters) off limits.
Believe or leave
Jennifer Keeton, 24, doesn't believe that homosexuality is biological; she thinks it is a lifestyle choice. Augusta State University, where she is pursuing a master's degree in counseling, has ordered her to enter a remedial program or face expulsion. The Georgia school sent her a notice questioning her ability to be a "multiculturally competent counselor."
In the program, she would be required to attend several gay sensitivity training courses and participate in activities like Augusta's gay pride parade for "exposure and interactions with gay populations." While the school opposes the view that homosexuality is a choice, it has encouraged her to read material that defines gender as a choice. She would be required to submit a monthly two-page reflection on how the program has influenced her beliefs, so the school can "decide the appropriateness of her continuation in the counseling program."
Keeton, backed by the Alliance Defense Fund, has filed suit against the school for violating her First Amendment rights.
Case not quite closed
In a setback for gay marriage advocates, the New Jersey Supreme Court has refused to hear a case in which same-sex couples allege that the state violates their civil rights by not allowing gay marriage. The litigants said that even though New Jersey allows civil unions, they still experience discrimination and do not have the "full rights and benefits enjoyed by heterosexual married couples."
The Supreme Court did not comment on the constitutionality of their claim but voted 3-3 to tell the litigants that they should first file an action with a lower court. (A case needs four votes to be heard directly by the high court.) In a dissenting opinion, Justice Virginia Long said she was "disappointed" that the other three judges chose not to hear the case and said the court should address the possible "constitutional inequities" without "any unnecessary delay."
With the case going to a lower court, Len Deo, head of New Jersey's Family Policy Council and a supporter of traditional marriage, told NBC News that the battle wasn't over: "I'm not gonna say I'm worried, but obviously we're in this for the long haul."
'We don't have the votes'
Short on votes, Senate Democrats on July 22 shelved ambitious climate legislation. The move put an early end to at least one controversial congressional overhaul bill before November's elections. Already bracing for mid-term losses in Congress, Democrats determined that federal encroachment on the energy industry is one big regulatory bill too many.
The collapse of the complex measure means Democrats failed in their agenda to implement the nation's first-ever cap on carbon emissions. "It's easy to count to 60. I could do it by the time I was in eighth grade," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, referencing the 60-vote threshold needed to avoid a filibuster in the Senate. "My point is this, we know where we are. We know we don't have the votes." Instead Democrats will now push a watered-down energy bill, tied mainly to responding to the Gulf oil spill, that is likely to garner a few Republican votes.
Still, the Senate's surrender of the original overhaul puts dozens of House Democrats in precarious positions heading into November. Last summer the House passed, by a seven-vote margin, its 1,200-page regulation of the nation's energy use. With no backing from the Senate, vulnerable House members with their jobs on the line in swing districts will have a more difficult time justifying their votes to Washington-weary voters.
Environmentalists hoping to limit the carbon use of Americans will now push for the EPA to unilaterally impose a cap. Some senators are also reportedly hoping to revisit the matter in a lame duck session of Congress after the November elections.
Hope Award voting continues
Online voting for the 2010 winner of the Hope Award for Effective Compassion continues until Aug. 26-near the end of July two contenders were neck-and-neck. Go to worldmag.com to see the Final Four and choose your favorite: Rock Ministries (Northeast region winner), Advance Memphis (South region), Freedom for Youth (Midwest region), or New Horizons (West region).
Aiding abortion
An audit review of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) reveals USAID has given at least $23 million to grantees who are pushing a Kenyan constitution that liberalizes abortion law. The new constitution is supposed to create checks and balances and protect freedoms, but it also changes Kenya's strict abortion law to allow a "trained health professional" to authorize abortion "for emergency treatment" or if the life or health of the mother is in danger.
Jeff Sagnip, spokesperson for Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said of the abortion language, "It's vague enough of a loophole that you could drive a truck through it." Because the funds went to grantees who agreed to push for a yes vote, Smith and other Republican congressmen say that the funds violate an amendment that prohibits using U.S. foreign assistance funds to lobby for or against abortion.
Dona Dinkler-spokesperson for the inspector general's office, which is conducting the review-stressed that the review is not over and said, "We have no evidence-no information that USAID has done anything illegal." A July Infotrak Harris poll showed 65 percent of Kenyans saying they would vote for the constitution on Aug. 4. Of the 25 percent who said they would vote no, 59 percent said they were voting no because the constitution "permits abortion."
Border battle
In blocking key provisions of Arizona's controversial immigration law, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton may have ensured that illegal immigration and border security will be high-profile issues in the 2010 elections. On July 28, one day before the law was scheduled to take effect, Bolton put parts of the law on hold until they are resolved by courts.
Specifically, the Clinton appointee blocked sections of the law that require police officers, while enforcing other laws, to check a person's immigration status if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person is an illegal immigrant. She also blocked provisions that require legal immigrants to carry their papers and prohibit illegal immigrants from seeking jobs in public places.
Republican candidates in Arizona, but also as far away as Arkansas and Tennessee, denounced the ruling and pledged to make illegal immigration and border security central issues in their campaigns. Democrats, meanwhile, sought to use the issue to bolster Hispanic support in California and other states. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, pledged to fight for the law: "This is a little road bump. I will battle all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary, for the right to protect the citizens of Arizona."
Overall, the Arizona law is popular. A CNN/Opinion Research poll in July found that 55 percent of Americans favor Arizona's law and 40 percent oppose it. Other surveys have put support as high as 61 percent.
Violence returns
Sixteen years after Rwanda became infamous for a Hutu-led genocide that killed some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, international observers worry that a new wave of human-rights abuses is corrupting the political landscape. The United Nations has demanded a full investigation into allegations of politically motivated murders of opposition leaders ahead of the country's August elections.
President Paul Kagame-a Tutsi credited with ending the 1994 genocide-now faces allegations of suppressing opposition to his bid for re-election to another seven-year term. Government officials have banned two opposition newspapers from publishing and have harassed opposition politicians. In late July, unidentified assailants beheaded opposition leader Andre Kagwa Rwisereka in southern Rwanda. Other recent murder victims included a human-rights lawyer and a journalist investigating the attempted murder of another Kagame opponent. Rwandan officials deny any involvement in the murders.
Center of moderation?
A public outcry has followed the news that Muslim leaders plan to build a community center and place of worship two blocks from Ground Zero in New York City. The National Republican Trust PAC released an ad showing images of 9/11 with the message, "Where we weep, they rejoice" and "Kill the Ground Zero Mosque." Both Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich spoke against the project with Gingrich saying, "There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia."
The leaders of the initiative say the $100 million, 13-story community center is not a mosque but a prayer space since it contains space for musical performance and a restaurant-neither of which are allowed in mosques. The leaders also changed the name of the project from "Cordoba House" to "Park 51" after critics noted that Cordoba is the name of a Spanish city conquered by Muslims in the eighth century.
At a press conference, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf-chairman of the Cordoba Initiative-said the project was an expression of moderate Muslims "who have condemned and continue to condemn terrorism." Members of his congregation died in the attacks, and he said Park 51's leaders are committed to rebuilding the community with cooperation from non-Muslims. But Rauf has also said the United States' taking of lives overseas made it an accessory to 9/11. He told CBS' 60 Minutes just after the 9/11 attacks, "I wouldn't say that the United States deserved what happened, but United States policies were an accessory to the crime."
Adrift in a sea of oil
Chinese workers and volunteers endured brutal conditions while cleaning up an oil spill that began on July 16 after two pipelines exploded at the port city of Dalian in northeast China. Workers braved the thickly polluted waters to save a man who nearly drowned after attempting to fix an underwater pipe.
Chinese newspapers reported workers initially using other primitive methods to remove oil from the water and shore, including plastic bags, straw mats, bare hands, and chopsticks. A week later, efforts had grown more sophisticated, and workers had dumped some 23 tons of oil-eating bacteria into the waters.
Officials estimated the oil affected some 140 square miles of the Yellow Sea, saying it was China's largest oil spill in years.

Innings, Innings, Innings
With Mission 2012 upon us, and contention seemingly looming, DM is apparently content with the current roster. In other words, Edwin Jackson isn't walking through that door. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because while their window may be cracked at the moment, it should be wide open next year. I don't know that Jackson or Roy Oswalt is enough of a difference maker to push KC over the hump and into the playoffs.
Not that they wouldn't be good pickups, it's just that the rest of the rotation is still full of question marks. For the Royals to be competitive the starting pitchers simply have to pitch more innings. Of course that's a no brainer but the facts speak for themselves. The fourteen teams that finished .500 or above had 33 pitchers toss 190+ innings, 2.35 per team. The sixteen teams that finished under .500 had just 24, 1.5 per team. You have to figure that two or three members of the Royals rotation have to exceed that amount this year, which could happen but seems unlikely when you consider that Hochevar, Sanchez, Chen, Paulino and Duffy have combined for just three such seasons in their careers.
I'd rather they see what those guys do this year and then adjust accordingly next winter when they can maybe land someone better than Jackson (Zack Greinke anyone? What?). Best case scenario is that Duffy and Montgomery make the leap to the front of the rotation while Hochevar and Paulino contribute as league average innings eaters. And then, of course, Chen continues to be Chen, because he's here for 2013 as well (for some reason).
When last season ended I was hoping DM would sign Jackson or trade for James Shields but now I've come around to the wisdom of waiting. I think the current rotation has just enough upside to surprise people and keep the team in the hunt into August or hopefully even September. But they also have enough downside to bury the team in May and finish with a record similar to last year. It really could go either way.

Waiting is all fine and good, but with the changes to amateur talent acquisition, the Royals would be doing themselves a disservice by not signing Oswalt.ReplyDelete
Best case scenario is that the Royals are an 85 win team as is, and if Oswalt only preforms to his 2011 fWar,the Royals become an 87.5 win team.
The difference between 85 and 87.5 wins is now what separates the Royals from an ALC title, but Oswalt might be what separates lets say the Cardinals from an NLC title... will they trade Shelby Miller one for one? Probably not, but there is a serious chance to flip Oswalt for a valuable piece for 2013 and beyond if the Royals are floating at or below .500.
The new CBA has changed the way teams are going to be able to acquire talent, and the Royals should take a chance on either competing or putting themselves in position to flip a talent like Oswalt.
Worst case scenario is that Oswalt's back goes out in the Spring... David Glass is out a few million, but considering how much he has saved/accumulated since becoming owner that is the least of my concern.

Royals really need an innings-eater. The idea of a 13-pitching staff makes me throw up in my mouth a little.ReplyDelete

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Clincher Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
CycleOps PowerTap G3/ZIPP 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel $0.00
The PowerTap G3/Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel features Zipp's wide, cobblestone-destroying 303 rim paired it with the most advanced Cycle Ops PowerTap hub to date. The result of this marriage made in heaven is a wheelset that can take a beating like a boxer and analyze performance data like a physics professor. Train everywhere, race anywhere—the G3/Zipp 303 Firecrest will take a beating and ask for more.
CycleOps completely overhauled the design of previous PowerTap models, improving aspects ranging from rigidity to functionality. An 80-gram weight reduction from the popular SL+ makes the PowerTap G3 Rear Hub the lightest power meter in the world. CycleOps improved on the rigidity of previous models by shrinking the hub profile and widening the flanges. With the distractions of weight and stealth design out of the way, CycleOps improved the functionality and accuracy of data gathering. For one, CycleOps moved the orientation of the electronics that transmit user data to the end cap of the freehub body, making it possible to remove the electronics for service without swapping out the entire wheel. This means more time in the saddle and fewer headaches.
The new G3 is equipped with an ANT+ wireless transmitter that sends power, torque, speed, and virtual cadence data to CycleOps' Joule computer or any other unit that translates ANT+. Please note that the G3 is not compatible with Yellow CPUs. The G3 is capable of storing up to 15 hours of data in one-second intervals, and up to 30 hours of data in two-second intervals. The G3 design still has a 'torque tube' with eight strain gauges, yielding measurements accurate within +/- 1.5% between 40 and 130 rpm.
The Firecrest is Zipp's most ambitious rim shape to date. Designed to account for differences in airflow between tubulars and clinchers, the 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher maintains a rim depth of 45.0mm and an aero width of 28.50mm. Using computational fluid dynamics, Zipp moved the center of pressure towards the steering axis to create the most stable and predictable deep-section rim on the planet. Zipp found that a wider rim offers greater vertical/lateral compliance for increased control, comfort, and rigidity. For the clincher, they found that moving the hook beads further apart allowed the tire to take on a more stable shape without adding rolling resistance. For the strength and rigidity, the Firecrest 303 utilizes uni-directional fibers to handle the tensile and comprehensive loading within the rim, and woven fibers in the spoke-hole areas. A woven silica-ceramic fabric and a woven carbon fabric encapsulate the braking and tire-mounting surfaces. The combination of fiber patterns creates the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio in Zipp production.
A number of Zipp technologies went into making the 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher the most versatile wheel in the Zipp arsenal. First, the Multi-Material Co-Molding process permanently fuses a sub-200-gram aluminum hoop to a dimpled carbon structure that acts as a leaf spring for road vibration and impact. Spokes laced directly to the carbon body give you the benefit of a carbon feel and aluminum braking. Next, visco-elastic material is inserted between carbon laminate in the rim to reduce road vibration by ten percent. Lastly, the dimples of the Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) on the curved rim section work to create a slight turbulence directly above the rim surface. This creates an artificial boundary layer that forces the laminar boundary layer towards the forward part of the rim to become turbulent. This process enables airflow to remain attached over more of the rim for a longer period of time, providing a lower level of integrated drag. The drag that ABLC creates is called skin friction drag; although it's greatly increased, pressure drag (which is ten times higher than skin friction) is decreased to make the 303 Firecrest wheels faster than the competition in a wide range of conditions, not just the wind tunnel. While most wheels only enjoy minimum drag at rarely occurring yaw angles of five and ten degrees, the 303 Firecrest experiences it at the real-world conditions of 10 to 20 degrees.
The Cycle Ops PowerTap G3/Zipp 303 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel is hand-built in the USA. The rear wheel is available to fit Campagnolo or Shimano/SRAM cassettes. Please note that Zipp's maximum recommended rider weight is 250lbs.
