"When package plants came out in the 1980s, people didn't know how to operate them, and they got a bad rap," Danielson says. It didn't matter to most communities, because the EPA was offering grant money to help fund the expansion of centralized wastewater systems. Now that that funding is no longer available, and suburban sprawl is at a crossroads, "people are starting to look at lower-cost alternatives."
In 1998, after a land transfer with the state, the town of Newtown in Connecticut spent $100,000 to install a community-based system servicing six houses.
Public Works Director Fred Hurley thinks it was a smart move. "The septic systems were failing, but it just wasn't commercially feasible to bring those houses onto the centralized system," he says. Homeowners pay a quarterly assessment to the town's Water and Sewer Authority to offset the costs of operations and maintenance.
That system, along with a $200,000 system consisting of two duplex grinder pumps that feed into the centralized system from a 60-unit trailer park, are operated by United Water/Suez, which also operates and maintains the town's main wastewater treatment plant.
Hurley acknowledges that the town learned from the legal battle in nearby Brookfield. In Newtown developers must provide financial assurance in the event of a system failure, a sort of escrow account that guarantees funding for repairs.
The Water and Sewer Authority also oversees a maintenance fund supported by condominium association fees at a privately maintained community system for a 60-unit condominium development that was installed privately in the late 1990s. The fund is tapped whenever maintenance is required.
"The town conducted a full engineering analysis of the soils, examined the design of the system, and ensured there would be adequate funding reserves deposited annually to maintain it and provide for replacement of the system," Hurley explains. "It lowered the town's exposure to virtually zero."
Requiring financial assurance from developers is still largely new territory, says Grose, who explains that the goal is to have the benefitting property owners pay for the upgrade to a community-based decentralized system, "or the city brings in sewers and levees benefit assessments like it would with any sewer user."
To convince the public and elected officials that a decentralized system should be part of the overall waste-water-treatment mix, Danielson advocates what he calls "triple bottom line accounting."
"Look at the numbers, but also look at the impact on the environment and the impact on society," he explains. "Put a dollar value on how you're affecting the environment and society. For example, what's going to be the cost on the neighborhood of ripping up the streets to put in a new sewer line? With major infrastructure improvements, you're working on a 20-year cycle, you're carrying all that additional cost to operate and maintain these idle facilities in some manner until you build them out."
Decentralized systems should be evaluated alongside other treatment options, says Jeff Moeller, senior program director for the Water Environment Research Foundation.
"Decentralized systems are no longer a stopgap for outlying areas," he says. "And centralized systems are no longer a one-size-fits-all solution."

Showtime has renewed "Penny Dreadful" for Season 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the news Wednesday (June 4).
The second season will consist of 10 episodes -- up two from the show's freshman season. Season 2 will begin production later this year in Dublin for a 2015 premiere.
"Penny Dreadful," starring Eva Green, Timothy Dalton and Josh Hartnett, features a roster of classic monsters such as Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and Dracula. Screenwriter John Logan created the series and is writing every episode, which imagines a world in which the creatures walk the streets of Victorian-era London.
The series debuted in May to 872,000 first run viewers in its Sunday night time slot -- topping the premieres of "Homeland" and "Masters of Sex" -- and increased to 1.44 million viewers for the night when including encores. It was also the cable network's youngest-skewing premiere since the debut of "Dexter" in 2006, with 62 percent of the audience coming from the coveted 18-49 demo.
Showtime also says that "Penny Dreadful" is its most-watched new show ever on Showtime on Demand and Showtime Anytime, with more than 3.6 million viewers through three weeks. The series is currently averaging 4.8 weekly viewers across multiple platforms.
"The show has been an interesting combination of genre credibility -- it is simultaneously a gorgeous historical costume drama and a really scary, twisted horror show," said Showtime president David Nevins. "The question was, could we do a genre show that made sense on Showtime that had adult appeal and the psychological sophistication you expect from one of our premium dramas, but still satisfies drama audiences. John Logan has delivered on both. We're looking at this as a big-time franchise to grow over time and the show is only just beginning to lay out the world of 'Penny Dreadful.'"
The next drama to debut on the premium cable network will be "The Affair, starring Josh Jackson, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney and Dominic West, premiering in the fall, while new comedy "Happyish" has been put on pause due to the death of star Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Showtime's drama slate currently includes "Homeland," "Masters of Sex" and "Ray Donovan," plus dramedy "Shameless," while its comedies include "Nurse Jackie," "Episodes," "House of Lies" and "Web Therapy."
"Penny Dreadful" continues Sundays at 10/9 p.m. CT on Showtime.

The Regulatory Program oversees active coal mining operations and the reclamation of the land by the mining company after the coal has been extracted. The program has two main work units: The Inspections and Enforcement Section and the Technical Services Section.
The Regulatory Program has the unique and difficult responsibility of regulating the coal mining industry in a way which strikes a balance between protection of society and the environment while providing the nation's need for coal as an essential energy source, and promoting the development of Indiana's natural resources.
Responsibilities of the Inspections and Enforcement Section include reviewing permit applications, amendments, revisions, land use changes and requests for bond release. A Reclamation Specialist is the highly trained professional responsible for both permitting and compliance with all mining rules at the mine site. Reclamation Specialists monitor mining operations from the time the permit is issued until the last acres are reclaimed and bond is released . Emphasis is placed upon proper operation and control of impacts on topsoil, surface water, groundwater, re-grading, revegetation, blasting, toxic materials handling, coal processing waste disposal and subsidence associated with underground mining.

Toxins: Heavy Metals and Your Home
sometimes dangerous heavy metals can lurk in not-so obvious places. Robert Preidt explains:
Potential household sources of lead include: old painted surfaces; tableware such as leaded crystal, pewter and some glazed pottery; fumes when soldering stained glass projects; and pottery glazes with white or yellow finishes. Dietary supplements, especially those from China, can also be a source of lead exposure. And some jewelry from China may be made from lead.Like I said, this is an all-too-familiar issue for DiseaseProof. Take a look at these earlier posts and you'll see what I mean:
Certain kinds of fish or shellfish may contain high levels of mercury, including shark, swordfish, tuna, pike, walleye, bass, and Atlantic salmon. While concerns have been raised about mercury in dental fillings, no firm link has been established between metal dental fillings and changes in the central nervous system, the article said.

2008 Research Summary
QF_IDL: A Core Optimization Problem in Automated System Design
View Current Project Information
Matthew Walter Moskewicz and Kurt Keutzer
VLIW and DSP style instruction sets somewhat reduce the semantic gap between the microprocessors and their instruction sets, compared to complex and power hungry superscalar type designs. They expose more of the pipeline-level behavior of the processor to the compiler, and the simpler control mechanisms ease processor design and verification. By analogy, we can also consider the more general semantic gap between the hardware level description of a programmable component and the exported semantics of the same component. Even more generally, we can expand our scope to the gap between system and application semantics. Various approaches to close these gaps using tools have been implemented.
For example, Andrew Mihal's work used models of computation and model transforms to attack the problem of efficiently and correctly mapping high level concurrent applications in various particular domains to (typically lower level) computation and communication primitives. Scott Weber's Tipi work focused on the formal modeling of micro architectures with automatic generation of tools such as fast simulators. My (Matthew Moskewicz's) initial work focused on providing an automated, robust, and efficient compilation system that takes input from higher level languages/models, and targets an interesting subset of Tipi processing elements (or PEs). In my approach, the key problem in code generation was formulated as SAT, with a few additional integer (cardinality) constraints.
Additional work in this research group has led to more optimization (mapping and scheduling) problems arising from automation of higher levels of the mapping process. These problems are also formulated as SAT with additional integer constraints. Specifically, these problems are best described as QF_IDL, and are currently solved using an enhanced SAT solver. QF_IDL is an SMT that consists of a SAT formula with some boolean variables constrained by the inequalities of the form (A < B + Z), where A,B are integer variables and C is an integer constant.
There has been a recent increase in off-the-shelf solvers that can handle various SMTs including QF_IDL, and a corresponding increase in the usage of such solvers, which are often competitive with or superior to custom solvers; see the smtlib website for more details. As with SAT, over time the use of QF_IDL solvers as an abstraction layer may yield great improvements in both solver performance, and in the types of applications that may be implemented without the development of custom solvers.
Given that increased performance and scalability are clearly beneficial for both of the previous applications, as well as many other practical problems, research toward developing both more robust solvers for these types of applications (those beyond pure SAT, but within various SMTs, initially QF_IDL) seems useful. The approach is to combine solid benchmarking of existing solvers and applications with attempts to improve existing formulations and implementations. Initial work will draw together the new applications that have been developed within the group to form benchmark sets that can be added to smtlib. Existing solvers will be benchmarked, and new approaches to both problem formulation and solver implementation will be explored. Most existing QF_IDL solvers appear to build heavily upon existing (open source) developments in SAT, but few contribute their work back to the field in a useful manner. This research will strive to create a state-of-the art open QF_IDL solver, combining existing research with novel improvements.

On December 14, Assistant Directors, Unit Production Managers and DGA Trainees attended a special event at Guild headquarters in New York. Presented by the Eastern AD/UPM Council Member Education Committee and the DGA Assistant Directors Training Program, the seminar Scheduling: Theory and Practice guided the attendees through the basics of how to break down a script to create a schedule and a subsequent call sheet.
Following a welcome from AD/UPM Council East Member Education Committee Chair Michael Reichman, the attendees opened their laptop computers to participate in a hands-on demonstration of the industry standard scheduling program Movie Magic. The demo was conducted by Richard Guay of Entertainment Partners, a company that specializes in software for production management.
After Guay walked the participants through the basics of the software and its features, 1st AD Bettiann Fishman (Blue Bloods, Sex and the City) shared the knowledge gained by her many years of experience on the subject. Fishman spoke about how the digital approach to scheduling and breaking down a script compares to pen and paper, pointed out how the Movie Magic software has changed from previous versions and suggested what could be done to improve it in future versions.
There was also input from UPM Denise Pinckley (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Oblivion) who spoke about the process of scheduling for feature film work, and 1st AD Louis Guerra (The Americans, Homeland), who covered the issue from the perspective of episodic television.

The screening questions used in the survey to identify CSHCN included five major components. In addition to the existence of a condition that has lasted or is expected to last at least 1 year, the respondent must report that the condition had at least one of the following consequences for the child:
- The use of or need for prescription medication;
- The use of or need for more medical care, mental health services, or education services than other children of the same age;
- An ongoing emotional, developmental, or behavioral problem that requires treatment or counseling;
- A limitation in the child's ability to do the things most children of the same age do;
- The use of or need for special therapy, such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
Of these five qualifying criteria, the need for prescription medication is by far the most common, reported for more than three-fourths of CSHCN. The next most frequently reported consequence is the use of or need for extra medical, mental health, or educational services (39 percent of CSHCN), followed by the use of or need for emotional, behavioral, or developmental problems (28 percent), limitation in activities (21 percent), and the use of specialized therapies (18 percent). The percentages do not add to 100 because each child may experience more than one consequence of his or her condition(s).
The proportion of CSHCN experiencing each consequence varies across income levels. While the need for prescription medication is the most common consequence among all income groups, the percentage of CSHCN who currently need or use prescription drugs ranges from 72 percent of CSHCN with family incomes below the poverty level to 83 percent of CSHCN with family incomes of 400 percent of poverty or more. Among CSHCN living in poverty, the parents of 38 percent report an emotional, behavioral, or developmental problem, compared to 22 percent of CSHCN in the highest-income families. The prevalence of limitations in activities also varies by income: the parents of 28 percent of poor children report this consequence, compared to 16 percent of children in high-income families.

Overall Experience
Perfect for our needs
ByGigi CL
June 05, 2016
The suite was perfect for our needs - a short night of sleep en route (just half way) to our final destination. The separate bedroom and the sofa bed were just what we needed and more economical than having two separate rooms would have been. Off the road, the suite was quiet and serene - great for a good night of uninterrupted sleep. The staff could not have been more gracious or helpful from the booking phone call through a quick and efficient check out.. We had late arrival and they thoughtfully put us in a room on the the first floor in an area slightly removed from main wing insuring that we would not disturb other guests. We had a great restful sleep and woke ready to do another 200 miles. We have stayed at this site before when in the area on business and surely would again.

May 04, 2016
I was in town for a funeral and we needed an additional space for family to get ready comfortably as our local family had limited space. The hotel itself was fine. Room was very clean and the well appointed...staff was very friendly.
One of my only issues was that upon pulling into the parking lot, there were several (10-12 total) people standing right outside the entrance/exit doors smoking (including the front desk clerk on duty...who did come in just a few minutes after I entered the property). This included the main entrance as well as the side doors. So it was a little strange to have to walk through smoke to get into the hotel...and also for guests who wanted to enter/exit through the side doors. My husband (who was not with me) is a smoker, so it's not that I'm someone who isn't ever exposed to smoke, but I just wish the "smoking areas" were not right beside the doors...while there is no smoking in the hotel, it kind of defeats the purpose if non-smoking guests have to pass through a group of active smokers to get in/out of the building. Perhaps you can make an actual smoking area (covered area) that is away from the building so that smokers can still comfortably smoke but without affecting the non-smokers trying to enter the building.
The only other issue is that the noise from the interstate is pretty significant so I'll ask for a room on the other side of the hotel on future visits.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State All-American defensive back Johnthan Banks was named to the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll Monday for the second time this season, while fellow senior Marcus Green was named to the midseason watch list for the John Mackey Award, given annually to the best collegiate tight end.
One of three players to earn the weekly nod, Banks picked up the honor after limiting a Tennessee passing attack that was averaging 329 yards per game (10th in FBS) to just 148 yards Saturday night in the 41-31 victory. The Maben, Miss., native held midseason All-American wide receiver Justin Hunter to just two catches, while helping limit Vols' quarterback Tyler Bray to a career lows as a starter in completions (13) and yards. The team captain was thrown at five times, allowing just two catches for 28 yards.
Clinging to a three-point lead with less than 10 minutes left in the game against the Big Orange and MSU's undefeated season on the line, Banks forced and recovered a fumble that completely changed the momentum of the game and secured MSU's sixth victory of the 2012 campaign.
Fans can vote for Banks for the Paul Hornung Award at VotePaulHornung.com
Green was one of just 26 players on the midseason watch list, which will select semifinalists on Nov. 12. The Scooba, Miss., native recorded a career game vs. Tennessee in which he recorded a career-high six catches for 71 yards with a career-best tying two touchdowns.
Banks, Green and the rest of the undefeated No. 15 Bulldogs return to action Saturday night at Davis Wade Stadium for homecoming against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPN2 and the Mississippi State Radio Network.

The truth + the truth = the truth. And after serving for 21 years in the US military - I'm reliable and trustworthy to not engage in the lies, filth or tricks about the Clinton's and who they REALLY are - inside their private home.
NAME: Martin CJ Mongiello
RANK: CSCS (SS/SW), USN, Ret.
HOUSES WORKED IN: The White House for Official State dinners and Aspen, the Clinton's private home at the Camp David Retreat and Conference Center on top of the mountain
DUTIES: The Butler, Executive Chef, Household Management, Presidential Aide, Bedroom Valet
TRAINING: Graduated from the International Culinary Schools at The Art Institute, Dean's List, Summa Cum Laude. Graduated numerous specialty programs including those held at The Culinary Institute of America and The Preventive Medicine Research Institute with Doctor Dean Ornish.
PRESENT OCCUPATION: Resort, Hotel, Household and Estate Management Consultant. Executive Chef at The Presidential Service Center and Presidential Culinary Museum. General Manager of The Inn of the Patriots
Yes, it's true that President Clinton used to be filmed going into McDonalds and Krispy Kreme a lot, as well as enjoyed a hamburger now and then a bit too much. He'll tell you himself he ate fried chicken, Old South brand sweet pickled watermelon rind and so many more items like endless sweet teas made with white cane sugar. In 1993, when he had finished his medical exams (having just come into office as the new President) it was obvious to everyone with a stethoscope hanging around their neck that an immediate change of eating was in order. The evidence spoke loudly and the numbers never lie. That medical folder with his name on it got the attention of the Presidential Medical Team and anyone else wearing a white coat (both Doctors and Chefs) was ordered to protect the President's life. He could have had a massive coronary attack in 1994 had the immediate changes not been effectuated. The President himself has talked about this so many times!
Thus the White House Chef, Pierre Chambrin decided to resign. Pierre is a wonderful fellow; he just had no desire to be retaught as a Chef all over again. And who wants to work with seaweed, tempeh, seitan, tofu and things like those? In my case, I was excited about it up at Camp David, as the Executive Chef.
But let's put an end to the whole idea of gooey glop being dumped on a plate or grool served in bowls. It never happened. Even the Washington Post has quoted me, my healthy ingredients, famed Creamy Fettucine Alfredo a la Healthy Version (photo featured above) and prepared a tofu cheesecake on their set - for the world to watch them eat (POST TV). And my articles have been featured in over 120 newspapers worldwide.
The fact of the matter is the lady who led Chelsea, the President and myself towards living healthier, having more stamina and increasing brain power was everyone's soon to be favorite grand mom, the First Lady - now Secretary Clinton. "Momma," made the rules - and yes, she spoke kindly with any Chef, anytime and anywhere about anything - to make sure we felt good about cooking and farming, shopping and baking. While Doctor Ornish could teach us about what to do and how - Hillary was actually the healthy one inside the homes encouraging vitality, prevention, strength, energy and being active.
And this friend is the honest to God's truth. One looks no further for an example of heart healthy encouragement once she got the whole family motivated and on the right track. And I'll tell you one thing, it may have been the President back then that needed help - but this loving woman supported him every step of the way. And her repository of healthy activity is second to none.
I may live down here in the remote South, far removed from the massive cities and spires that jut into the skies of commerce, enjoying a peach under my Peachoid, true. And yes, Kevin Spacey in House of Cards is the face of our local populace, our savvy, IQ and what we are capable of in American politics. Locals near the Peachoid feel that if you are Hillary's personal Doctor, Household Manager or Chef then perhaps you can speak from years of direct experience.

According to an arrest document, Terrance Patrick, 24, 5013 Stearn St., was booked into Parish Prison on a count of aggravated rape. He remained in prison Saturday on a $100,000 bond. Patrick was one of two men who went to the victim's home and pushed the victim onto the floor of a bedroom. Both men attacked the victim, the arrest document says. Police arrested Patrick at the scene in north Baton Rouge near the intersection of Plank Road and Ford Street. Patrick's arrest warrant does not say what happened to the second attacker or reveal the victim's gender or name. Carjacking suspect also booked in theft A man who failed in a carjacking attempt was arrested later that day carrying stolen T-shirts that sill had anti-theft devices attached, according to an arrest warrant giving an account of the police investigation. Shaun Omar Atkins, 35, 1711 Mast Drive, was booked into Parish Prison Friday on counts of attempted carjacking, theft of goods and possession of drug paraphernalia. He remained in prison Saturday on a $16,000 bond, a spokeswoman said. Atkins allegedly attempted to carjack a 1996 Dodge Caravan on Feb. 22 from a driver waiting for a child to get off a school bus. When Atkins tried to get into the van through the passenger door, the driver pushed him back several times. Atkins ran off when the victim screamed. Police found Atkins later that day walking on North Donmoor Avenue carrying the white T-shirts. Atkins denied stealing the shirts until it was pointed out that the anti-theft devices were still attached. Atkins then told police he'd taken them from a Family Dollar Store. The arrest warrant says that the person in the van identified Atkins as the attempted carjacker. Also, police found a crack pipe in Atkins' shirt pocket, the warrant says. EBR deputies arrest man in meth lab raid East Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies arrested a 37-year-old man Saturday accused of housing a methamphetamine lab at his home on Confederate Avenue, according to an affidavit of probable cause giving an account of the investigation. Gregory Bloom, 16038 Confederate, was booked into Parish Prison on one count of creation or operation of a clandestine drug lab. Deputies were dispatched to the Confederate home in reference to a possible meth lab. Deputies looked through the home's front window and saw Bloom mixing liquids in a clear plastic jug. Bloom saw the deputies looking at him, so he ran to the kitchen and dumped the materials in the jug into the sink. Deputies entered the home and found several items used to make meth, including plastic 2-liter bottles with tubing at the top, empty blister packs of cold medicine, red devil lye, camp fuel and lithium strips removed from batteries. Bloom told deputies he was trying to create meth and that he learned how to cook it from a friend, according to the affidavit. Nine arrested on suspicion of DWI Authorities arrested at least nine people suspected of driving while intoxicated in East Baton Rouge Parish and booked them into Parish Prison between 2:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Saturday, booking records show. Those booked and the counts against them: Christina Blanchard, 34, 550 Lee Drive, Baton Rouge, first-offense DWI and reckless operation of a vehicle.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas has counted himself as "blessed" ever since he made the roster as an undrafted free agent in 2007.
The 29-year-old enters his eighth year in the league at a critical point in his career. He was shopped in the offseason (the Saints ultimately traded backfield partner Darren Sproles) and returned to the team only after accepting a team-friendly contract alteration.
But he's still here, still competing for the No. 1 job and still unwilling to concede anything.
"They talk about the average career for a running back being three years. To be playing eight years is a blessing," Thomas said. "I told the other guys that want my job, it's going to be tough because I'm going to make it tough. You're going to have to put me on the bench."
Thomas worked primarily with the second team on Saturday, the second day of the Saints' training camp at the Greenbrier resort.
To the extent there is a battle for the top job, Mark Ingram appears to have taken an early lead. Like Thomas, Ingram is also in a pivotal season. After the Saints declined the fifth-year option on his original rookie contract, Ingram will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
"It's a contract year, so it's a big year for me," he said.

Recap of PPWC 2015: Choose Your Writing Adventure
The 23rd annual Pikes Peak Writers Conference was another huge success, bringing together writers from across the country—and some international folks– for a weekend of learning, networking, talking shop, and having fun.
In conjunction with the Thursday Prequel, we held ghost hunts in the Marriotton Thursday and Friday nights. Both nights were filled to capacity, and our professional ghost hunting crew helped all the participants distinguish between what they wanted to see and what they actually captured on film.
We also made a big change from traditional pitch appointments to Query One-on-One appointments, and most of the feedback we received (from both sides of the table) was overwhelmingly positive. We'll be working on refining the process for 2016, making it an even better way to get feedback on the all-important query letter.
Our keynote speakers were awesome, even in the face of adversity (sorry, Seanan). Mary Kay Andrews spoke on Friday about the struggles she faced early in her writing career, while Andrew Gross shared his highly atypical story with us at Saturday lunch. R.L. Stine brought down the house on Saturday night, and his wife, Jane, was an equally fascinating member of our faculty. AtSunday lunch, Seanan McGuire sent us on our way with inspiration and kindness.
We brought in a lot of new faculty this year, and hope to continue the trend of combining tried and true authors who have stellar reputations for teaching along with new authors who can add the latest perspectives on writing and publishing.
There are now more platforms than ever for getting your work into the hands of the public. While Pikes Peak Writers can't tell you which is the best path for you, our goal is to provide enough information for you to make the right decision for your story, while giving you the tools to turn out the best writing you can produce.
Never forget why you started writing. Never lose sight of the adventure. And thank you all for letting me share at least a part of the journey with you.

Pikes Peak Writers Conference 2014
We Made It Happen!
The 22nd Pikes Peak Writers Conference ended as a dizzying success. From inspiring keynotes to encouraging editors and agents, workshops on craft to workshops on the publishing climate, and everything in between, this conference provided an exhausting and exhilarating array of opportunities to grow, reach, and succeed as writers.
Gail Carriger reminded us that for writers, writing is breathing. How could you ever choose between breathing and anything else? Jim C. Hines magnified the importance of providing all readers with relatable stories, not just the perceived majority. With so much diversity in the world, it only makes sense to find the same in our books. Hank Phillippi Ryan validated the fact that we all have songs not yet written. What are we waiting for? Go for it. Do it. Don't wait. And Chuck Wendig made us laugh. "Go home book, you're drunk!" Then he made us dream. Success may seem impossible, but if we chip away at our goals one by one, if we embrace our vision for our writing career, we will in fact…make it happen. To ease Mrs. Wendig's mind, no one threw up on anyone during his speech.
The excitement started with a low hum Thursday morning that steadily grew to a cacophony of success by Sunday afternoon.
Friday night lured out Steampunk interpretations during the steampunk themed dinner. Impressive arrays of gears and goggles tickled the eye and enlightened the imagination.
Saturday's lunch allowed for a moment of silence to mourn the loss of those taken too soon. Bonnie Hagan honored those we miss with wise words reminding each of us not to wait on pursuing our passions, but to seize the now.
The Saturday evening awards banquet honored the PPWC volunteers who so highly deserved recognition for their tireless efforts throughout the year and years past. Bonnie Hagan for the Legacy Award, her constant efforts over many years and her historical knowledge proved priceless. J.T. Evans for the Volunteer of the Year Award. As PPW President, J.T. has revamped and renewed PPW in an extraordinary way with hours and hours of effort that will benefit this organization for years to come. M.B. Partlow for the Conference Volunteer of the Year Award. M.B. has worked with passion as programming director for years and now has taken on the task of tackling PPWC 2015 director. Her experience and vision will no doubt propel this next year into another madly successful conference and leave you with Goosebumps. The Zebulon contest winners took their places center stage for some rousing applause celebrating their success.
Attendees had over ninety-five opportunities to tighten their craft, debunk some common myths, practice pitches, and concisely discuss current manuscripts, plus make new friends, accomplish some networking, and stretch their comfort zones in the classrooms, over meals, and long into the night at the Marriott bar. Editors Terri Bischoff, Sarah Peed, Terese Ramin, and Sara Sargent helped demystify the intimidating machine that is the publishing industry while Amy Boggs, Michelle L. Johnson, Kristin Nelson, Beth Phelan, Gordon Warnock, and Carlisle Webber encouraged writers to learn the process and to send out their best work.
Multiple contests, a Killion Group and Hot Damn Designs attendee mixer, costume dinner, silent auction, professional photo shoot opportunities, and more propelled attendees through to the conference end with laughter, excitement, and a beautiful motivation to write. The library enjoyed another year of success offering genre books, craft books, t-shirts, audio cd's and much more. A little writerly retail therapy to calm the nerves and settle the excitement. Sunday shone bright with an impressive hold over of attendees all grasping for one more kernel of knowledge, one last uttered brilliance, one last shared inspiration…and they got it. We all went home Sunday having reached the goal of this conference.
Write Here, Write Now. We Made it Happen.

Benny Hinn, Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Ted Haggard, Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, Peter Popoff, Mike Licona, Norman Geisler, Jonathan Sarfati and the pseudo-science Institute for Creation Research (ICR) need to admit that their Bible babble is flimsy. Why do so many church services resemble TV game shows instead of worship services?
Matthew 4:8 – "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor." This feat is only possible if the Earth was flat; from the summit of Mt. Everest, the opposite side of the spherical Earth would still be impossible to see.
Ecclesiastes 1:5 – "The Sun rises and the Sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises." The Sun does not move like this at all.
Psalm 104:5 – "He set the Earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." But the Earth is always moving, even its north and south poles wobble a little bit à la axial precession.
Joshua 10:12-13 – "On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: 'O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.' So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day." Joshua was ignorant of the fact that the Sun is stationary for the Earth; it should have been the Earth doing the stopping, not the Sun. Copernicus and Galileo proved heliocentrism and disproved geocentrism. How come the Egyptian civilization never recorded the Sun and Moon stopping for a full day? Egyptian hieroglyphs have been translated via the Rosetta Stone (1799).
Numbers 31:17-18 – "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." Any god (Yahweh) that would command His people to kill children, murder innocent women, and rape girls is not a god worthy of worship.
Who is punished for sins? The Bible does not know.
Ezekiel 18:20 – "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father." The penalty of sin is placed upon only the sinner, not the descendants.
Exodus 20:5 – "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me." The penalty of sin affects four generations.
Lee Levine, a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, writes, "There is no reference in Egyptian sources to Israel's sojourn in that country, and the evidence that does exist is negligible and indirect." Levine also wrote that excavations showed there had been no walls at Jericho. Thus, the Bible books of Exodus and Joshua are fiction. Evolution won and Young Earth Creationism (Intelligent Design) lost in Tammy Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District (2005). Dan Barker, Bart D. Ehrman, James C. VanderKam, and C. Dennis McKinsey are great sources about anything Christian. How Jesus Became Christian by Wilson Barrie is a should-read book.

A professional evangelist comes to town, puts on an expensive show and leaves. A church experiences a flash of excitement, a big bill and very little growth. The best evangelists are not the professionals but the most unlikely people, like the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:29). Was she of doubtful reputation or poor and had been widowed many times? We don't know exactly and we cannot judge, but there seems to be some question about the man she was currently living with. Was she a caregiver or living in a dubious relationship? For sure she seems to have been a loner, who fetched her water at a time when the crowds were not there. The best evangelists can be new people and even those from the fringes, but always those who have had an encounter with Jesus.
I'm not interested in church growth gimmicks. They are boring and trite. I have tried many of them and found them to often be ways to keep churches busy but without much fruit. But I am big on ideas from the Bible and in the story of the Samaritan woman at the well is an idea on church growth that succeeded wildly. The disciples were away buying food and Jesus shared the Gospel with one solitary woman (John 4:29). Sometimes just that one encounter makes all the difference. She then prepared the way for the Gospel by telling her whole village. One sows the seed and another reaps the harvest. In this case she sowed, and Jesus encouraged his disciples to reap the harvest. We may not need more church growth gimmicks, but we do need more Samaritan women.
After her encounter with Jesus, the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:42) went on to become a famous evangelist. According to tradition, she was baptized by the apostles with the name Photina. She is also known variously as Saint Photina or Saint Svetlana. Some call her the church's first evangelist. She and her five sisters along with her two sons were also baptized and became a family of evangelists. After Peter and Paul were martyred, she and her family moved to Carthage to preach the Gospel. She and her son Joses are reputed to have fearlessly preached the Gospel there. Photina's elder son Victor had become a military commander and was taken to Rome to betray Christians. Instead his witness converted his jailer and his servants and along with his family he eventually died a martyr in 66.

Former National Security Agency (NSA) IT contractor Edward Snowden could be able to stay in Russia for more than one year, as the Russian government said they don't plan to send him packing.
Snowden, currently in Russia on a temporary one-year asylum, has offers from Brazil and several Central American countries interested in taking him in - but Alexy Pushkov, the Russian Foreign Affairs Committee legislator, noted that Snowden could stay longer. The 30-year-old American is now free to stay in Russia, working for private Russian companies, until he is ready to return back to the U.S.
During a recent online chat, Snowden said he would like to one day return to the United States, but that cannot happen unless he's granted protection under the federal Whistleblower Protection Act - which doesn't apply to former government contractors. Meanwhile, Snowden continues to claim he didn't carry out actions for Russia or any other foreign government, though some U.S. lawmakers still aren't so sure about that.

Weekend binge
Tuesday, November 05, 2013
So, Halloween happened. And then I went to visit friends in Cleveland for the weekend, where they had a belated Halloween party. I fell off the mainly plant-based wagon. Especially in the dairy department. I gorged on cheesy pizza, ice cream, cake (with frosting, naturally), and of course, lots of Halloween candy. I am feeling it, too...more sluggish, more achy in my joints. I'm also having trouble stopping. I got home yesterday after flying home (flying stresses me out anyway, so that didn't help the situation) and promptly ordered pizza because I didn't feel like cooking.
Why do I self-sabotage? I have no idea. I know I shouldn't do it, I know that it's bad for me, but undoing a lifetime of bad habits means I'll have inevitable slip-ups. Right? Right?
And the thing is, even though I really don't like cheese all that much anymore--it's slimy, it's salty, and I really don't like the flavor or texture of it--I couldn't stop myself from eating it. I don't get it. Now I'm stuck trying to backtrack and detox from all the crap I put in my body over the last few days.
I need to plan ahead and figure out how I need to eat when I travel. I switched to vegetarian the last couple of times I've traveled, and I've allowed myself to make poor decisions within that guideline. LIke the ice cream. Like the cheese. When I have more control over my food--not having to rely on others or restaurants for my meals--I do better. Even when traveling--when we visit the Outer Banks, we are able to bring our own food.
I know what I did wrong, and I know what needs to be done to fix it. However, I'm still in the binge. Perhaps it's because my fiance is on the other side of the world--literally: he's in Hong Kong--and I miss his presence and his ability to keep me in line food-wise. I tend to eat worse when he's not around. Another form of self-sabotage, I realize.
Time to stop. I can do this. I have allowed myself to slip, but it's time to stop the slide and get back on track.

The sanctions on Russia are starting to take their toll across the globe as China is warning that these sanctions could lead to a dangerous chain reaction that would be difficult to control.
China is concerned by these sanctions because as the US and Europe are imposing them on Russia, Russia in return will try to impose equal debilitating sanctions on the US and Europe. The Chinese warn that the retaliatory actions by the Russians will only lead the world economy into a downward spiral. It turns out that China had a good cause for concern.
China's economy has been faltering since the beginning of 2014, and may very well be the first major economy effected, besides Russia, due to the Ukraine sanctions. News about the crisis in the Ukraine has keep sales down in China, leading to an emergency stimulus package. Money will be invested in new railway systems in an effort to get people downtown shopping, and to boost commerce.
But China is not the only country experiencing economic downturns. India, Turkey and Japan are all faltering. More economies are expected to show signs of distress in the coming days and weeks. In fact there are signs that a global economic collapse is imminent. The prices of precious medals and commodities continue to rises and gas prices are once again spiking at the pumps to almost 4 dollars a gallon.
Financial experts are also warning that this crisis in the Ukraine may make the smaller growing economies more vulnerable to economic collapse. World banks and investors are now turning their attention toward the Ukraine, making it harder for those who need financial help to receive it. The U.S. is also talking about new and deepening sanctions on Iran which will help further the global impact.
The first round of sanctions put on Iran by the U.S. was designed to target, and put pressure on those who import Iranian oil. Interestingly enough, many of these countries that imported Iranian oil, are now faltering, such as Turkey, China and Japan. So what would the next imposed round of sanctions on Iran by the U.S. do to the economies of the world? Its easy to see how the supply of oil, and the price paid for it, could effect the balance of things globally.
But there are other things that may contribute to a global economic collapse. The long hard winter across much of the US has left high gas and electric bills that will have to be paid continuous throughout the summer months, leaving many people scraped for cash. Local economies are being shorted by winter bills having to pay for road repair and for the replenishment of the much needed salt. The drought in California is expected to send meat, dairy and produce prices soaring. Also the new healthcare law deadline on March 31st, will add another high bill to those barely able to afford it. Businesses are laying people off or cutting hours to avoid paying health care for their employees. All of this adds up to lack of consumer spending power and a struggling U.S. economy. Add in a war with Russia and the results are devastating.
Although, Russia has some influence on the oil in the Middle East, there is yet another factor when it comes to the Ukraine that could effect the economies around the globe. The Ukraine is also a major exporter of corn and wheat. The Ukraine, being one of the world's top exporters of these basic commodities could have an impact on prices around the globe should this supply be halted. Russia may now have control of the natural gas, oil wheat and corn that comes out of that region, which also would be a necessary commodity and supply for much of Europe.
A world economic collapse is coming and it is coming soon! There is only way to ensure that you and your family will be safe from what is about to come. This is the tribulation hour that will test all people who dwell on the earth and are left behind. There will be war, famine, disease and death. What is happening in Syria now is a small picture to what will be happening around the globe. But you don't have to be left behind. Ask Jesus into your heart, to forgive you of your sins, so you can be ready. Jesus is coming soon to save those who have turned from their sins and who have put their trust in him. Get ready, ask Jesus into your heart today!

Start order for Cross Nats Determined by Revamped Rider Ranking
Submitted by David on
This was passed on to us by one of our readers. This was taken from the USA Cycling website:
Start order for Cross Nats Determined by Revamped Rider Ranking
Call-ups for non-UCI catetories at Cyclo-cross Nationals will be determined by rider ranking in USA Cycling's re-vamped Results and Ranking System, increasing the importance of results submission for local race directors. Start order for all non-UCI categories at the 2012 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships will be determined by rider ranking using the organization's new, improved rankings system to debut Sept.1.
Cyclo-cross will be the first USA Cycling National Championship to use the remodeled rankings system to resolve call-up order for all race divisions other than Collegiate, Junior 17-18 and Elite. Following member feedback, this method of seeding aims to offer the most equitable and concise call-up procedure possible and does signify a departure from the previous approach of utilizing time trials, random drawings or based on when a rider registered online for Cyclo-cross National Championships.
USA Cycling's new rankings system is set for public launch September 1, 2011. The rankings system will use an innovative algorithm to rank riders based on their results compared to other competitors rather than using an arbitrary event value. The new system will allow riders to achieve a ranking, based more on how well they race rather than how often. Rider rankings will be derived from an individual's average of his/her top three results within a rolling 12 month period. More details on the revamped rankings program will be released in the coming weeks prior to the debut of the new system.
To ensure as fair and accurate a process as possible, USA Cycling is requesting all cyclo-cross race directors to submit results to USA Cycling in an accurate and timely fashion.
Basic instructions for submitting race results are available on the Race Directors page of usacycling.org.

Does this eliminate an ACA rider from being competitive at cyclocross nationals? Where does this leave ACA riders?

Young People are Important Too
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Is your argument, "The ACA is properly pandering to masters so the young guys need to move along?" Sure sounds like it.
If so, this is extremely short sighted. You do realize that the average age of the ACA is slowly creeping up and eventually they are going to look at the younger generation to fill in the gaps? Make enough of the young-ins angry and they (those that eventually put on events) might just start forgoing the ACA in favor of USAC.
Don't bite the hand that (eventually) feeds you.

Race Sponsorship doesn't
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Race Sponsorship doesn't have anything to with ACA or USAC. It is up the Promoter to bring in sponsorhip. USAC doesn't bring in the sponsors, the promoter does. Larger the prizelist in USAC, the more you pay to USAC. 7% of total event prize list once the prize list is over $2000.
If you want a NRC race, you need to first find a big sponsor.

registration fee and payout have little relationship with...
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
You are mixing apples and oranges right?
Cost of registration is not determined directly by ACA or USAC, that is a promoter choice and payout too is a promoter choice.
What you want to know is the cost ACA charges related to the cost USAC charges to the promoter to host a race.
The payout in prize money has nothing to do with the governing body. True, having myself races for years in the Midwest which is a USAC world payouts are much higher but I think that has a lot to do with the cycling culture as the governing body.
This might help add clarity

Cost of a race
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The only money ACA makes on any given race is a $2 operational surcharge from every rider and a nominal fee for the permit (like $25). That's about 6.5% of the average entry fee. They do also take an additional $3.19 in insurance surcharges per rider; this probably is just a pass-through expense which goes to the underwriter, but nonetheless we're suddenly talking about 17% of each entry fee. This starts to add up. Plus it's about $1k for the timing/camera system and probably about 25 other expenses to put on your average crit (I speak from experience). What does USAC charge a promoter, per rider? And what other fees do they charge? It's hard to compare without firm numbers from USAC. Point being, it may or may not be beneficial to permit with ACA v USAC. As for ACA getting rich off promoters, I don't see how it's possible. The operational surcharges ACA receives throughout the year are probably just enough to cover the Executive Director's salary.

What races are going USAC?
Only saw N.B.P Crit for a few cats. Good crit but big boo boo of not having a good camera system. What was the final 1-2-3 turn out? Haven't seen full results anywhere yet...
One major reason ACA split from USAC is because we didn't have a voice. Major push that lead to the split was that they fired all the State Reps via Fax even though all the clubs said not to.
USAC is now threatening to illegally suspend Pros if they race outside of their league even tough all the riders don't want this. If you have an UCAC license please contact your State Rep and tell them to lift this ban... It's illegal, but nobody has the money and time to fight the USAC. They just screw over a few local pros that want to race. Sorry but USAC still hasn't really changed in 10 years.

Submitted by a bike racer (not verified) on
So lets say the ACA became a part of USAC tomorrow. What do we loose? Will the USAC tell CO riders they can't race outside of CO? Or tell us we need to pay an extra fee because we want to race locally and out of state? Will they tell riders from out of state they can't race here unless they pay an extra fee? Will they tell race organizers they can't have certain catigories race? Looking at this from a rider perspective, not an administrative perspective which way are we better off?

The 2011 ACA road and cx
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The 2011 ACA road and cx race calendar is more packed than ever before, no promoter revolt, and no declining trend in membership numbers, but other than those minor factoids, everything else you say is absolutely true (well, perhaps the one about less regulation with USAC is a bit on the naive side, if not uninformed).
Now, this is probably a very difficult concept for you to comprehend, but the ACA is a membership driven organization, so regardless of what the ACA Board is doing short term, you and your ACA registered club can advocate and vote for an acquisition by USAC.

Not big differences but ask the promotors if it matters
At least 4 promoters have decided to to offer USAC racing this year vs what 1 last year on the road side? Nah, you are right you have beaten me into submission. Wasn't last years turnout down also? Didn't we come to a consensus that it was because of the recession or something? I don't know apparently I have a really hard time comprehending things.

When a couple finds gold right in their own backyard, it's certainly reason to share news of the $10 million discovery. Exactly 1,427 coins were discovered in a Northern California county property, and the gold pieces all date back between the years of 1847 to 1894. Money MSN shares this Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014, that the incredible unearthing was made under the shadow of a very old tree while the pair was walking their dog.
Earlier this week in aptly named Gold Country property, a couple found gold — worth no less than $10 million in total — that has since been proven authentic. Almost every single one of the 1,427 coins was discovered in mint condition and now stands an uncirculated form of money. An official from the Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana verified that they are indeed a priceless find.
In actuality, the face value of the gold coins only adds up to a much smaller (though still not insignificant sum) of $27,000. It's the rarity of these pieces that the coin expert believes will land the couple some big bucks, as some of the pieces are worth to certain collectors a potential $1 million per item.
According to a spokesperson for the excited duo involved in the couple finds gold discovery:
"I don't like to say once-in-a-lifetime for anything, but you don't get an opportunity to handle this kind of material, a treasure like this, ever," affirmed veteran numismatist Don Kagin, who is representing the finders. "It's like they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."
Kagin went on to say that the massive discovery was literally found on a regular dog walking expedition on the couple's northern California property. The golden treasure was buried under the shade of an old tree, and this couple isn't new to coins. In fact, they have been in the rare business for over 80 years, though the couple admits they have literally no idea who might have ever left all that money just hidden there.
The pair has asked that they stay anonymous after the $10 million unearthing, because they don't want people hurrying to their Californian property in a literal gold rush. The spokesperson said that the couple doesn't intend to use the money selfishly — their gold coin find won't really change the way they work or live.
"Their concern was this would change the way everyone else would look at them, and they're pretty happy with the lifestyle they have today," he said.
At this time, the couple's plans for this massive discovery appears to first pay off any remaining bills they have, donate to several local charities, sell some of the coins on Amazon, and finally maybe even keep a few pieces for their own collection.
