For More Information:Gregg WalkerPropane Education & Research email@example.com
January 20, 2012
Roy Willis, president and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council, sat down recently with The PERC Update to talk about the challenges and opportunities confronting propane and the priorities for PERC in 2012. Willis also offered an update on re-engineering PERC to better focus on the commercialization of propane products, staff changes, and operating in a tough economy.
What are PERC's top priorities for 2012?
PERC's top priority is to support growth in the safe, efficient use of propane in the United States. We have a great sense of urgency about that. Our strategic approach is to do all we can to help manufacturers commercialize new equipment, appliances, and vehicles to create demand for propane. The industry's core residential demand was especially hard hit by the prolonged recession, and now by slow economic recovery and anemic new home construction. Add to that the mild winter so far, and everyone in this industry, including PERC, has a sense of urgency to do all we can to boost demand.
Do see opportunities for increased demand? If so, where?
There is some — albeit modest — improvement in home construction in some regions, and we want to take advantage of that with a more targeted program. On the propane autogas front, we see an opportunity for growth, even if federal incentives are not reinstated, driven by the economic and environmental benefits of propane compared with gasoline and diesel. In addition to vehicles that run on propane autogas, there are several new pieces of equipment — stationary engines, construction equipment, off-road vehicles, etc. — coming to market that promise to create additional demand. It is important that PERC help both the industry and prospective customers better understand the potential these technologies have to meet energy needs, reduce pollutants, and improve business outcomes.
With the election of new officers last July, PERC began a re-engineering effort. What can you tell us about that process and the timetable for completing it?
Re-engineering is about structuring PERC to better execute on our commercialization strategy. PERC was originally organized primarily to carry out a consumer education program. Although we've always had strong safety, training, and research programs, the priority was consumer education, and now we cannot legally do that because of the restriction of our consumer education function. Re-engineering PERC aims to better align operations and personnel, both staff and volunteers, to better accomplish the unrestricted research, training, and safety functions in a way that helps grow propane demand.
The timetable is progressing, and I expect to have the fundamental restructuring in place in the next 90 to 120 days. During that time, the Council will revisit its strategic plan, the new advisory committee and working groups will take on oversight of our programs and projects, a lead communications firm will be selected, and the staff transition will be completed. By the time the Council holds its first 2012 in-person meeting in April, we will be ready to kick in the after-burners.
What has been the biggest challenge in this re-engineering effort?
Without question, it's continuity of service. The CEO of a large propane company who led a re-engineering of his business described the process to me as like changing a flat tire on a bicycle while still riding it down the road. That's a vivid way of saying you have to implement big changes while continuing to deliver the services that your organization is expected to provide.
What are the key aspects of the organization that are being addressed by re-engineering?
A key objective is to reduce overlaps in effort by structuring the PERC staff and volunteers along functional lines. So rather than having several staff members and advisory committees all performing similar functions in each market, we have specialists performing those functions for all key markets. For example, we had three groups — R&D, Engine Fuel, and Agriculture — all working on research programs. Now, the staff and the new advisory committee will bring together the industry's technical expertise to oversee all research projects. Similarly, rather than having three or four groups of staff and volunteers carrying out consumer training, demonstration programs, and other market outreach activities, we bring them together into a single unit. That should result in better coordination of efforts, eliminate duplication, and reduce costs.
Where do you see costs being reduced?
Costs are being cut in several areas. Communications support is a major expenditure and, thus, the primary target. First, rather than outsourcing basic communications support we've consolidated that role within the staff, and Gregg Walker is leading that team. Secondly, we have issued a request for proposals for communications services; more than a dozen firms responded and finalists will be evaluated by a task force of Council members, advisory committee members, and staff. Our objective is to replace the four firms that provided those services in individual market segments with a single firm capable of supporting PERC's commercialization and market development roles in residential, commercial, agricultural, fleet, and other markets. In addition, we are reviewing all services provided by contractors and consultants and benchmarking those expenditures with current market rates with the goal of reducing the use of and the expenditures for contractors. These savings will enable PERC to put more funds into projects and programs.
You mentioned the transition in the PERC staff. How is that going?
Finding the right people is important and takes time, but we're making progress. We've brought on Alan McEwan to manage the technical side of our engine fuel program, and he's hit the ground running. We've also had several staff members leave since we kicked off the re-engineering effort. We've redesigned those job descriptions, and now have a search under way to fill senior staff positions for business development, industry programs, and residential and commercial market programs. I expect to fill those positions and begin training before the Council's meeting in April. Meanwhile, I have been very gratified and encouraged by the way our existing staff has stepped up to ensure continuity of services to the industry.
You seem hopeful about the outlook for propane markets. Why is that?
I am hopeful, but cautiously so. Three factors weigh on my thinking — the overall economy, rising oil prices, and tight credit. Those factors make me cautious. I am hopeful because propane is an excellent energy resource that has application in many markets. Also, we have a full range of new technologies available that offer sound business cases in a number of key market sectors. But businesses must be willing and able to invest in new equipment. For example, landscape companies like propane mowers, but they have difficulty getting the business loans to buy new equipment. For similar reasons, fleets are hanging onto their vehicles longer; farmers are slower to replace irrigation engines, and so on. I hope that will change in 2012. If it does, propane is well positioned to take advantage of an improving economy. That's a macro view of priorities. Of course, PERC has a number of specific priorities for this year in each area of work, as well.
Can you give us an example of a specific priority?
Sure, take forklifts, for example. PERC has two specific objectives. First, we need to begin work on the next generation of forklift engines, and second, we want to do a full life cycle economic analysis of propane forklifts to better support the business case for using propane equipment. In a totally separate area — training — we have a specific priority to expand the availability of instructional material for mechanics and service technicians to repair and maintain the growing population of propane engines.
Thank you for your time. Before we wrap up, do you have any additional items we haven't covered?
I do want to wish everyone all the best for the new year.

Prior to the Beatles' U.S. invasion in 1964, the title of "most popular rock 'n' roll band in the land" arguably belonged to the Four Seasons. The doo-wop quartet from New Jersey, established four years before the British mop tops landed at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, was already riding the fame train with chart-toppers like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man" and "Candy Girl."
Forty years later, the group's dramatic history formed the basis for the genre-busting musical Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Fans went wild and the show quickly turned into a global hit.
Jersey Boys, which has already been seen by more than 20 million people, premieres in the South Bay on July 15-20 at San Jose's Center for the Performing Arts, 255 S. Almaden Blvd. The 2006 Tony Award winner for best musical, written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and directed by Des McAnuff, stars Adam Zelasko, Hayden Milanes, Nicolas Dromard and Quinn VanAntwerp respectively as the original Four Seasons: Nick Massi, Valli, Tommy DeVito and Bob Gaudio.
Each actor tells his character's side of the band's ups and downs, a tale stuffed with the cherished tunes of baby boomers everywhere. (The POV device is also used in the current film version of Jersey Boys, although judging from the tepid critical response, not nearly as effectively.) Singer-songwriter Gaudio and lead vocalist Valli were behind the effort to present the group's backstory onstage. The journey began around 1978, thanks to The Deer Hunter, a movie released that year. In one scene, a group of friends are playing pool; the background music is "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," the best-seller co-written by Gaudio and longtime Four Seasons producer Bob Crewe.
"It was inspiring because it was the first time I'd heard our music with a visual attached to it," says Gaudio from his home in Nashville, Tenn. He called that pre-MTV revelation "very affecting for me, a very strong moment."
It also gave Gaudio, who penned most of the band's songs, singly or with Crewe, "lots of food for thought."
He and Valli, who famously formed the Four Seasons Partnership decades ago on the strength of a handshake, had already fielded offers of movies of the week about the group. Then came the success of stage musicals like Smokey Joe's Café in the mid-'90s and Mamma Mia! in the early 2000s.
"We thought [the movie of the week idea] would be a quick burn, so we discussed theater instead," says Gaudio, now 71. In the hands of writers Brickman, an Oscar co-winner with Woody Allen for Annie Hall, and Elice, the story of four hungry young men with hardscrabble backgrounds was itself a breakthrough.
Unlike Mamma, where ABBA tunes propel a fictional plot, and Smokey, a revue of songs by composer Mike Stoller and lyricist Jerry Leiber, Jersey Boys is "our life story with a 20-minute intermission," Gaudio has said. Though he and Valli had veto power over the show, which debuted in 2004 at the La Jolla Playhouse at UC-San Diego, the opening night reaction took care of that.
"The audience was electrifying. It's hard to pick apart [the experience of seeing the play for the first time] when you're in the midst of that response," Gaudio remembers. "You just become numb. I can't imagine anything I've ever seen having that much impact."
For the current national tour, the role of Gaudio is played by Ukiah native Quinn VanAntwerp, who got his theatrical start locally. VanAntwerp appeared in the 2005 musical The Haunting of Winchester at the San Jose Rep, a company guided at the time by his aunt Timothy Near, the Rep's artistic director of 21 years. Other family members are equally gifted: His mom, Laurel, teaches acting and modern dance; another aunt is activist folk singer Holly Near.
As for the real-life Gaudio, who chats with the still-performing Valli three or four times a week ("Every time I speak with him he's in an airport"), the triumph of Jersey Boys somewhat mitigates a long-held beef. Although the Four Seasons have been successful by any measure, he doesn't think the 1990 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees ever achieved the respect accorded to groups like the Beatles or the Beach Boys, the Four Seasons' stateside contemporaries.
But leave it to legions of devotees to help put it all in perspective. The audiences who stand and cheer for Jersey Boys, Gaudio says, "are responding to something that reached their hearts as kids. It's not novelty music. You can't brush off this kind of longevity."

I've searched the forum, read the faq but I haven't found an answer to my problem, so here it is.
I've been accessing my PS3 through PMS for a couple of years now without any real problem, except some stuttering from now and then.
But recently, there's been more of those. Plus PMS finds an "unknown renderer" in addition to the ps3 which it recognize perfectly.
So I was wondering if there is a way to identify this unknown renderer and delete it ? In the traces it says : "Media renderer was not recognized. Possible identifying HTTP headers: User-Agent: Technicolor DBI STB UPnP/1.0" if it's any help.
I'd like to disable the "WMP" renderer too if it's possible (I found something about that in the forum but it was only for vista).
I'm accessing my PS3 via wireless connexion and here are the stats for my laptop :
2.20GHz CPU
Windows 7 64bits
Thanks !

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, July 5, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Mike Dwyer is no stranger to the folks at VFW Post 649. In fact, he's the commander here.
Dwyer already served his country once during the Vietnam War, and now he's serving it again by serving our veterans.
He says it's a matter of pride.
"I like the idea that I can sit there and make a difference for our veterans," Dwyer said.
There's a special place in his heart for the Vietnam veterans.
"I know that during Vietnam, our troops came back and it wasn't a very warm and fuzzy feeling. And now, we've changed a lot of that," Dwyer said.
His work here is absolutely a labor of love.
"Believe me when I say this. My heart is with my heart is with my post. My love is with my veterans," he said.
They're almost as close to his heart as his wife is.
"He's got the biggest heart in the world," said his wife, Joni Dwyer.
Joni and her daughter, Christine Ellison, nominated Mike for the Time To Care Award. They saw how much he does, and they wanted others to know, too.
"I never have to say, do you want me to take you to the doctor? Mike's got it covered. Do you want me to do this? Mike's got it covered. It's like, OK is there anything he can't do? He's like a super hero, and he's got a closet with lots of capes," Ellison said.
Sometimes Dwyer spends as much time here as he does at home. Maybe even more.
"I get a little frustrated because he's not home. I'll say, 'Where you going?' 'I gotta go to the V today. Why?' 'The grass needs cuttin'!'"
But on this warm summer day, the grass will have to wait.
Dwyer is surrounded by family here on the outside, and on the inside ... "Oh my gosh, they're family. They're his brothers and sisters. Any one of them will call, and he's right there. It doesn't matter who it is, what time it is or what the problem is."
In a place where everybody knows his name.

HAYWARD -- A woman was arrested Saturday after allegedly jumping on stage at a music festival and attacking a legendary musician after he dedicated a song to Trayvon Martin, according to police and eyewitnesses.
The woman, who police identified as 43-year-old Dinalynn Andrews Potter of Barstow, apparently yelled, "it's all your fault" before shoving 73-year-old Lester Chambers, his family said Sunday.
"She had a crazed look in her eye," said Kurt Kangas, a friend of Chambers who ran to his aid. "I saw the devil there."
Chambers was performing at the Hayward Russell City Blues Festival downtown when around 5:15 p.m. he dedicated Curtis Mayfield's hit "People Get Ready" to Martin, the 17-year-old shot and killed by George Zimmerman.
A Florida jury acquitted Zimmerman on all charges Saturday.
Chambers told the audience if Mayfield were around today, he'd change the lyrics "there's a train a comin'" to "there's a change a comin,'" his wife Lola Chambers told this newspaper Sunday.
"She must have been an acrobat. She did it in one leap. He didn't see her coming," Lola Chambers said.
Eyewitnesses and Hayward police said people on stage subdued Andrews Potter after she allegedly shoved Chambers. Though the police investigation into a motive continues, family members believe the attack was racially motivated and was a result of Chambers' mention of Martin. The family is pressing police to file hate crime charges. Andrews Potter is white, they said. Chambers is black.
Hayward police took Andrews Potter to the police station, where she was arrested on suspicion of battery. She was cited and released, and could face additional charges in the coming days, according to Hayward police Lt. Ruben Pola.
Chambers, a Petaluma resident, was taken to the hospital but has since been released, and is using a cane to walk. A photo his son posted on Facebook shows a large welt on his backside. His son said Chambers had a "bruised rib muscle and nerve damage and he is sore all over."
Chambers was a member of the 1960s soul group Chambers Brothers and has had a well-publicized fight with record executives over decades of royalty payments he said he has never received.
The Chambers Brothers will be part of the inaugural class inducted into the R&B Hall of Fame later this year, Lola Chambers said.

Jerry Ross (aka The Compass Guy) originally shared this story at The Compass blog. It's the first story in our month-long series of UPSers as Everyday Heroes.
Little ditty about Jack and Diane, two American kids growin' up in the heartland.
Here's how a UPS guy – a bit of a star – saved the day for a customer with a boat and a car.
Oh yeah, life goes on … our guy solved the problem with his brains and his brawn.
Oh yeah, life goes on … and service might improve when your former shipper has gone …
I admit it. The Compass Guy is no superstar when it comes to playing guitar. But I enjoy trying. And John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane" is a favorite because it's an easy, simple classic. Without doubt, it's definitely a tune worth turning the amplifier up to 11 for – when Mrs. Compass Expert is out of the house, anyway.
Now, UPS folks don't enjoy a reputation as being the best in the business for nothing. And Murray Wihlidal, a UPS supervisor in Canada, is a rockin' example of how the folks in brown also can turn it up to 11 – or even 12 – when it really counts.

OIL ON TROUBLED WATERS, SOME PLANS FOR THE RESERVATION MORE DAMS ON JOCKO & POST CREEK St.Ignatius: The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) is considering plans to build new irrigation dams on lower Post Creek and in the upper Jocko River, it was revealed last month during a Flathead River drainage hearing in St.Ignatius. The SCS, according to engineer Milt Gri ffing of Boze-man, is "examining the potential" of irrigation dams on Post Creek and the Jocko as well as a large impoundment on the Little Bitterroot above Dry Creek dam and raising the dam on St. Mary's Lake. These plans, and other proposed uses of waters in the Flathead drainage, were included in a preliminary review of a drainage-wide water use planning by the Montana State Department of Natural Resources. The Department has been working for nearly three years on a plan for the Flathead River drainage.... which includes all lands between the Canadian border and the confluence of the Flathead with the Clark Fork River at Paradise. The draft plan should be completed later this summer, according Water (Cont. on page 2) OIL SEARCH ON FLATHEAD UPPER St. Ignatius: A Canadian based oil firm has applied for exploration leases to seek oil on the north, south and middle forks of the Flathead River. This development surfaced last month during a public hearing on water plans for the Flathead River drainage. According to Dave Nunn-allee, a Montana State Dept. of Health engineer from Kalispell, the Texas Pacific Oil Company, district headquarters Calgary, Alberta, has applied to the Bureau of Land Management for permission to drill-core test for oil in Flathead river headwater streams above the Flathead reservation. Nannallee said the firm has already held a meeting with officials from the Fiathead National Forest and the Montana Fish and Game Department. Although specific plans for the oil quest in the rugged country around Glacier National Park are not yet available, it is thought that the firm may want to drill both within the park and in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. Glacier National Park is bordered to the west and south by the North and Middle forks of the Flathead Riv- er. The southfork of the Flathead runs through the Bob Marshall Wilderness area before reaching the impoundment of Hungry Horse Reservoir. Although the surface of both the national park and the wilderness areas are protected by federal law, it is believed that BLM has the authority to grant exploration per-Oil (Cont. on page two) JOM COMMITTEES MEET ON RONAN SCHOOL PROBLEMS St.Ignatius: Johnson O' Mal-ley (J O M) committees from around the reservation met last week to come to grips with what some believe is a major crisis in Indian education. The committees...from seven reservation school districts...met in the St.Ignatius Neighborhood Facility, Feb. 5 (as Char-Koosta went to press) to discuss recent moves by the Ronan District to remove JOM programs from the schools. According to sources, the situation at the Ronan school began in January when the school administration ordered Kathey Dupuis, the JOM counselor, to begin working with non-Indian students. The Ronan JOM committee, composed of people from the Indian community, balked at the order and pointed out to the administration that JOM monies are ear-marked specifically for Indian education. The next development was a statement of policy by the Ronan school district administration. The statement points out the district's long history of cooperation with Indian education programs but notes: "The purpose of the (Ronan) school should be to foster more open social structures where students are accepted as equals based on their own unique ability to contribute to society and not a mere mathematical statistic relating to the hereditary origin." The statement continues: "It is the announced policy of this school district that it will participate only in those (Indian) programs based on a wide spectrum of the population. The district will not accept or participate in a program that requires an identification of students by race." The statement concludes that: "In particular, this will eliminate the school's parti- JOM (Cont. on page 7)

Chimney Rock State Park reopens Saturday after road work
Published: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 4:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 3:59 p.m.
CHIMNEY ROCK — Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park will reopen to the public Saturday after being closed temporarily for road work. The N.C. Department of Transportation removed a large boulder that was identified as a safety hazard hanging over the main road.
"The safety of our guests and park associates is of utmost importance. Now that the boulder has been dropped and cleared away, we're happy to be able to welcome guests back just in time to celebrate Earth Day and enjoy the park's spring scenery and many wildflowers in full bloom," said Mary Jaeger-Gale, general manager of Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park. "Our Carolina rhododendron, flowering dogwood and Silverbell trees are spectacular."
Crews from DOT, which maintains roads within N.C. state parks, worked to break off a 4- to 5-ton section of a massive boulder that partially protruded over the road halfway between the Meadows and top parking lot. They used a combination of methods to remove the rock, including drilling holes to insert an expansion agent to crack the rock, and blasting with explosives.
Special events will be held as planned. Guests can meet a state park ranger at State Parks Stewardship Day this Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on the RiverWalk behind the Old Rock Café in Chimney Rock Village. A guided spring wildflower walk by wildflower photographer Stephen Faucette will be offered to Park guests with advance registration from 1-3 p.m.
The third aannual Buzz on Bees will offer educational activities about honeybees Saturday, April 27, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
For more information about the park, the latest report on what's blooming and more upcoming events, visit chimneyrockpark.com or call 800-277-9611. Chimney Rock is located 40 minutes southeast of Asheville on Highway 64/74A in Chimney Rock.

A few weeks ago I installed the Canadian Living app on my iPod, hoping it would provide some good recipe ideas. To my surprise, I have been bookmarking just about every recipe of the day. Today's recipe is based on a pork recipe, and it caught my interest because it used maple syrup. I was a little disappointed that the maple syrup flavour did not come through in the end--it would be cheaper and just as tasty to use brown sugar. This is very simple and very tasty.

it looks cool, that is all.
you can't compare directories, you can't save comparisons and you can't merge. scrolling through "huge" text files (100k lines) is impossible.
Without support for merging changes and diffing directory contents, this endeavour is going to loose money and, eventually, simply die. No matter how genuinely well-crafted and polished it looks.
Despite the fact that it shows some promising touches â" still, arguably mostly what you'd expect from a decent diff tool â" I don't get why it was decided that it ought to be released just now, in a state of being far too feature incomplete.
Take my negativism for what it is, but I think it's growing far too common in the Mac application market, that developers focus more on the 'package' than they do in task fulfillment and completeness.
Before buying this, I advise you to look at Diffmerge first and see it it is sufficient.
It is not as beautiful as this but very functional.
Agreed! I don't really get the image thing, to be honest. This has a lot of promise, if they'd just put the effort into making a spectacular diff/merge tool, and not worry about 'what else can we diff?!'
I'd rather their roadmap go toward improving the (already pretty excellent) diff UI, improving stability, and working on merging. Hopefully Sofa does that route rather than, say, allowing me to diff audio.
I love Versions, but Kaleidoscope is a bit of a downer in its first release. It's beautiful, but has no functionality beyond comparing text files and images. There's no way to merge anything. No directory diffs. It even crashes on certain files, I suspect because they contain non-English text.
Here's hoping that Sofa can pull it together and make a great product out of this, the Mac needs a great diff tool. For the time being I'll stay with p4merge. The best is still FileMerge, if only it would handle UTF-8 correctly.

Jury-tampering arrest made
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 10:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 10:02 a.m.
The last of three family members accused of trying to bribe a juror in a relative's criminal case was arrested Monday.
Tiara Wolfe, 24, 421 Mozart Drive, Houma, is charged with jury tampering in the drug trial of her uncle, Travis Bonvillain, 43, of 483 W. Park Ave., Schriever, the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office said.
Bonvillain was set for trial last week, but he pleaded guilty before it started, the Sheriff's Office said.
Members of his family are accused of offering money to a juror the day before the trial date in exchange for a not-guilty vote, detectives said.
The other two facing jury- tampering charges are Bonvillain's father, Jim Bonvillain, 75, of 512 Columbus St., and Travis Bonvillain's sister, Cheramie Jupiter, 43.
All three have bonded out of jail, records show.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|The allegation that Irvin... >
|Finding in relation to th... >>
Scheme of this section of the judgment
13.1 The charges levelled at Irving's historiography appear to me to lie at the heart of what Lipstadt wrote about him in Denying the Holocaust. I propose therefore to consider first whether the Defendants have made good their claim that, in what he has written and said about the Third Reich, Irving has falsified and misrepresented the historical evidence.
13.2 There are several aspects to this. The falsification and misrepresentation alleged by the Defendants relate to (a) the specific individual criticisms of Irving's historiography which are addressed in section V above; (b) his portrayal of Hitler, which is dealt with at section VI; (c) his claims in relation to Auschwitz covered in section VII and, finally, (d) the bombing of Dresden which is dealt with in section XI.
13.3 The question which I shall have to decide is whether the Defendants have discharged the burden of establishing the substantial truth of their claim that Irving has falsified the historical record. In this connection I should repeat the caveat expressed at the beginning of this judgment: the issue with which I am concerned is Irving's treatment of the available evidence. It is no part of my function to attempt to make findings as to what actually happened during the Nazi regime. The distinction may be a fine one but it is important to bear it in mind.
13.4 If the charge of misrepresentation and falsification of the historical evidence is substantially made out, there remains the question whether it was deliberate. Irving rightly stresses that the Defendants have accused him of deliberately perverting the evidence. For their part the Defendants recognise that it is incumbent on them to establish, according to the appropriate standard of proof, that the misrepresentation and falsification were motivated by Irving's ideological beliefs or prejudices. In this context, I shall consider the submission made by Irving that he has been guilty, at worst, of making errors in his handling of the historical record. As I will explain in assess Irving's motivation, I will also take into account the evidence of the public statements by Irving in which he allegedly denied the Holocaust; the evidence upon the basis of which the Defendants accuse him of anti-semitism and racism and the evidence of his alleged association with right-wing extremists.
13.5 That leaves the questions which arise out of Irving's visits to the Moscow archive in 1992 to inspect the Goebbels's diaries, namely whether he broke an agreement with the Russians by removing glass plates from the archive and whether he put the plates at risk of damage.
13.6 Finally, depending on my decisions on the issues to which I have already referred, it may be necessary to consider the relevance, if any, to my finding on the defence of justification of the imputations in Denying the Holocaust which the Defendants have either failed or not sought to justify. I shall also determine, if the need arises, whether the Defendants are entitled to pray in aid the provision of section 5 of the Defamation Act.

My brother & I have enjoyed playing the Indian Hills course when we have visited family in Keokuk County between Christmas & New Year's. Neither of us have played the new course in Ottumwa & would like to play it on December 30th or 31st. Are any local players interested in joining us for a round or two? I'm sure you would make our lives easier when it comes to hole location, preferred routes, etc.
If it has to be a money round, we just ask that you give us a chance. Our combined rating is 1826 . How about one stroke for every 10 ratings points difference (i.e., if our combined rating is 1826 & your combined rating is 1886, you give us 6 strokes)? We would also be interested in playing some WOLF.

BIG COVE TANNERY — More than 10 pounds of marijuana was seized from a Big Cove Tannery home by Pennsylvania State Police this month.
The street value of the pot is estimated between $24,000 to $32,000, police said.
Undercover investigations led to several purchases of marijuana from two Fulton County men, Randy Edward Mills, 50, of 102 Lincoln Way West, Apartment F, McConnellsburg, and Corey Allen Hann, 35, of 494 Licking Creek Road, Big Cove Tannery.
On Friday, Jan. 18, after buying pot from Hann at Mills' Lincoln Way West apartment, Pennsylvania State Police officers and the Fulton County sheriff's office moved in and arrested both men.
Through an investigation, it was determined that Hann was growing the marijuana in Fulton County and supplying it to Mills, who would sell and or trade the marijuana for other narcotics (prescription medications) in the McConnellsburg area, police said.
After the arrests, more packaged marijuana, drug paraphernalia, prescription drugs and cash were seized from Mills' apartment.
At Hann's residence, 10-plus pounds of dried marijuana, paraphernalia and a dozen guns were found. Hann's vehicle, a 1991 Honda Accord, was also seized by police.
Both Mills and Hann face charges of delivery and possession of a controlled substance filed through the office of Magisterial District Judge Wendy Mellott.
They were taken to Franklin County Jail, with Mills' bail set at $75,000 and Hann's at $25,000, according to online court documents. Both are awaiting their preliminary hearings in Fulton County Central Court.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants were officially eliminated from finishing first in the National League West on Monday night, but they suddenly find themselves in quite a heated battle to escape last place.
It's not much of a consolation prize after winning the World Series a year ago, but it's clear the Giants aren't limping to the finish after their second straight walk-off win, a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park.
After the Giants trailed 2-1 for much of the game, Brandon Belt tied things up with a two-out RBI double in the eighth. Then the first baseman won it with a one-out run-scoring single in the 10th.
To be sure, Belt and his teammates aren't looking or sounding like a team apathetically playing out the string.
"We want to finish as strong as we can, no matter what situation we're in," Belt said. "I believe there's some momentum to be gained that we can carry into next year. I don't see why we can't go on a run, end on a good note and take it into next season."
Before their game was complete, the Giants were ousted from the N.L. West race with the Los Angeles Dodgers' 8-1 victory over Arizona. But the bottom of the division has become a real horse race of also-rans.
The Giants, Rockies and San Diego Padres are now separated by a mere one game in the standings to determine third, fourth and fifth place. The Giants have brought up the rear in the division for the better part of 11/2 months but over their final 18 games can still avoid a first-to-worst development and finish as high as third.
Giants starter Tim Lincecum, who allowed just seven hits, two runs and one walk over eight innings, said no one on the club is cashing in his chips early.
"We come in here with a purpose every game, regardless of the standings," Lincecum said. "We still want to win, and we still go out there with that intention."
The Giants weathered a standout performance by Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin, who allowed just four hits and one run -- Buster Posey's 15th homer in the second inning -- through the first seven innings.
But trailing 2-1 entering the bottom of the eighth, the Giants immediately jumped on Chacin's relief, Matt Belisle. With one out, Angel Pagan hit a grounder down the third base line that was thrown away at first base for a single and error that put Pagan on second. After Marco Scutaro popped out, Belt ripped the first pitch he saw from Belisle into the right field corner and Pagan scored easily.
Then in the 10th against Colorado's fourth pitcher, Adam Ottavino, Pagan laced a one-out single to right and advanced to third on a Scutaro single. After Scutaro moved to second on defensive indifference, Belt looked for a pitch he could drive and finally got a 1-2 pitch he lifted over the head of left fielder Josh Rutledge.
"The whole at-bat I was looking for something up in the zone," Belt said. "Once I got two strikes, I just wanted to put the ball in play, I didn't care what happened. Fortunately, I squared it up."
The Rockies scored the first run of the game in the second inning thanks to some Giants' absent-mindedness in the field. Nolan Arenado doubled into the left field corner with one out, and when Yorvit Torrealba hit a chopper between home plate and the mound, catcher Posey came out to field the ball and throw to first.
But the Giants left home plate unattended on the play, and an alert Arenado sprinted home. First baseman Belt made a throw to the plate, but no one was there to cover and the ball went to the backstop.
The Giants tied the score in the bottom half of the inning when Posey homered over the left field wall. It was Posey's first home run since July 20 -- after 134 homerless at-bats -- and just his second since the All-Star break.
Colorado struck again for a run in the third when D.J. LeMahieu doubled to left field and scored on Troy Tulowitzki's single to center for a 2-1 lead.
Bochy didn't rule out Gaudin possibly getting a spot start before the season was done but said he hopes to keep his current rotation intact.

As a child growing up in Syracuse in the 1950's and 60's, Marcia Rees Conrad fondly remembers accompanying her father on various carpentry projects and visiting the summer house he designed and built on Oneida Lake. Fascinated by the world of architecture, she was disappointed — but not discouraged — to learn that there were relatively few if any female architects in Central New York who could serve as role models. Indeed, she recalls reading that women simply didn't become architects. And that statement only made her passion for the profession grow stronger.
When she discovered a new program being offered at Onondaga Community College, she says she found exactly what she was looking for. "I am so grateful for the opportunity I had at Onondaga," says Conrad. "The professors really opened a whole new world for me that, at the time, I wasn't entirely certain was possible."
In 1972, when the College's brand-new campus on Onondaga Hill consisted of the first few buildings, Conrad became the first female in the first class of graduates from OCC's architectural technology associate's degree program. From there, she earned a bachelor of science in architecture from The Ohio State University, married an Ohio native and began her job search in the Midwest. She credits Onondaga with providing a solid foundation on which she has built a successful career in architecture for nearly 35 years.
Conrad, a registered architect, is employed by Moody Nolan Inc., in Columbus, Ohio and she is actively involved in her community. She serves as the chair of a communitybased committee sponsored by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) whose goal is to use architecture as a tool to enhance education for children in grades K-8.
Conrad is also keeping pace with efforts involving sustainable design and green architecture. She was the first architect in her office to earn accreditation from the U.S. Green Building Council for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED). She is currently working on projects at Children's Hospital in Columbus, including the new Central Energy Plant, the first LEED-registered project on the Children's Hospital campus. "No matter if I'm the project manager or a catalyst on a project, I am proud to be a contributing member of the team," says Conrad.
Earlier this year, Conrad returned to the Onondaga campus to share her professional and personal insights with students in the architectural technology program. While on
campus she remarked, "My professors made such a difference in my life. They helped me create a plan for the future so my dream of becoming an architect could become a reality."
Marcia Rees Conrad lives in Columbus, Ohio and has two daughters in college. To learn more about Conrad's work with Moody Nolan, visit www.moodynolan.com.

State Paying Most of Nonprofit CEO's $1.2M Salary
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 4:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 4:08 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE | A nonprofit company that has two dozen state contracts to care for troubled juveniles in Florida pays its chief executive more than $1.2 million a year in salary and benefits, most of it courtesy of taxpayers.
Outraged, the state Department of Juvenile Justice said the money paid to William Schossler is excessive and should be spent to help kids. The state wants the hefty paydays to stop.
"It was never the department's intent that such a large share of the funding would go to compensate the top administration of your corporation instead of into direct services for our youth," wrote Gov. Rick Scott's juvenile justice chief, Wansley Walters, in a Dec. 12 letter to Schossler. "That is something that neither the department nor the citizens of Florida can abide."
Schossler, 65, of Chiefland is president of the Henry & Rilla White Foundation, a Tallahassee-based nonprofit that has done work for the state for more than two decades. Named for Schossler's grandparents, the foundation manages residential treatment beds, provides counseling and therapy to troubled children after they complete residential care, and has programs to divert kids from delinquency.
In the current budget year, the foundation's 23 juvenile justice contracts statewide have a total value of $10.2 million.
The battle between the state and the foundation surfaces at a time when legislators are promising a more in-depth review of state contracts with private vendors, which comprise more than half of the state's $70 billion annual budget yet receive only token scrutiny.
Legislators rarely investigate the details of contracts, but Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Nice�ville, has challenged senators to exhume contract details in agencies' budgets to see how money gets spent.
In what it called a routine review of contracts, the Department of Juvenile Justice discovered that Schossler was paind $397,940 in salary and $862,837 in other compensation in 2010, according to the foundation's Form 990 filing with the IRS.

Smart Ideas To Keeping A Healthy Level Of Fitness
Physical fitness is important for many reasons and especially if you like to ride a mountain bike Being fit can make you more attractive, fight depression, improve self-esteem, and improve physical health. If you'd like to get fit but aren't sure how to start, look no further! Read on for some easy tips to get started on fitness.
To improve your fitness levels more quickly, go slow. This means, when you are lifting weights, slow down the contraction phase of the lift. Take ten seconds per repetition, and you will see improvements more quickly than if you take two seconds. Try it for six weeks, and you should see visible results.
Use a combination of different exercise to work out similar muscles. Muscles can sometimes be complex structures because they consist of both pulling and pushing muscles. When you work out with one specific exercise it may not necessarily "hit" or stretch all of the available muscles. It's important to work out with many different types of exercises.
If you don't have enough time to work on your fitness in one block of time, it is possible to break up your exercise into smaller parts. This means you can run for 20 minutes in the morning before your shower, and then, after work, do a quick bodybuilding session that lasts 30 minutes.
Looking to increase muscle mass? Use simple math: multiply the total weight of your current sets by the amount of times you lift each set. Your goal is to increase that total number as much as possible. This can be achieved by adding more weight, increasing the number of repetitions, or by adding on additional sets.
Mountain Biking
In order to get the most out of your mountain biking fitness routine, be sure to shift your weight forward when tackling a hill. This will cause more of your weight to be distributed to the front tire and give you more traction. Learn to get a feel for how much you need to distribute, and you'll find that you will have much more success climbing.
Now that you know what you can do now to improve your fitness, the only thing left is to do it! Don't let yourself forget about this article by tomorrow, start acting on what you've read now, and get into a habit that will improve your entire life! Good luck!

1. If you want to make alot of gems of a certain type (meaning you want to conserve materials of that type), how much material of that type do you need?
The formula I came up with is
L = the total power of the dominant material type
P = the total power needed to create the gem
S = the number of slots I have
D = the number of dominant materials I want to use
For example, if I have 3 slots and I want to make a +4% Trog gem only using 1 trog material, then the power of that material must be at least
( 52 + 3 – 1 ) / ( 1 + 3 – 1 ) = 18
So you need a Trog mat of at least power 18 to make your +4% diamond (using that and two materials of any type of power 17 will get you to exactly 52)
But if you want to use two Trog mats, then their combined power must be at least
( 52 + 3 – 2 ) / ( 1 + 3 – 2 ) = 26.5
You need two Trog mats that have a combined power of at least 27 (and some other mat at least 25).
So that can be pretty useful.
2. If you just want to get your crafting level high, what is the most efficient way to use your mats? In other words, how do you get the most xp per mat?
So I calculated the xp/mat for every possible gem and then ordered them from greatest to least. The higher the x/n, the more efficient that gem is for leveling you up:
The most efficient gem is the Trog +3 (t3) made with 1 mat (n=1), which gives you 8 x/n. The problem with this is that that mat has to be a 24 power Trog, which as some of you may know is very hard to get (the drop rate appears to be broken).
The second most efficient gem is the Sylvan +2 (s2) made with 1 mat. For this you need a Sylvan mat of at least 20 power, but this is pretty easy to farm.
As you can see, this list will show you the way to get the most crafting xp out of all your mats. It also calculates the minimum power level discussed in #1 for each gem. So the minimum Trog power you need to make the t5 gem with 1, 2, or 3 Trog mats is listed under columns Min1D, Min2D, and Min3D.
I hope you can guys can use/understand this stuff. I had fun puzzling it all out!

Is It Time to Ditch Your Workout Gear?
Have your battered running shoes and stretched-out sports bra had enough? Here's when to call it quits with your workout gear
When to toss them: When you see pilling, when fitted pants feel loose, when the moisture-wicking material just isn't working like it used to, and when the fabric thins too much (this typically happens in the butt or knee area, depending on your go-to workout).
Why you shouldn't hang on to them: Worn out pants can cause chafing, distract you from your workout (if you're constantly readjusting your clothes), and can be pretty embarrassing if they're so thin they become see-through when you sweat.

This is great! I hate throwing out workout gear and buying new stuff because, let's face it, I don't really look that great the gym no matter what I'm wearing! But I should definitely invest in some new running shoes.

It was a homecoming to remember for Seneca basketball fans on Friday as the Indians pulled out a nail-biting 74-67 victory in overtime over the Carl Junction Bulldogs in the Big 8 Conference opener at Seneca High School.
The Indians (9-4, 1-0 Big 8) took the lead a minute into the game and stayed out front for all but the final 15 seconds of regulation. With Seneca leading 60-59 with 15 seconds left, Carl Junction's Matt Magee hit one of two free throw attempts to tie it at 60.
After a timeout with 7.5 seconds left, the Indians managed a shot as the final seconds ticked off, but it was off the mark. The game went into overtime with both teams in the double bonus, and that was a key factor for the Indians as they went on to score 14 points, 10 of which came on free throws, in the overtime period to best the Bulldogs.
"I'm just so proud of every one of those kids," Indians coach Will King said. "They fought hard the entire game. We got contributions form different kids at different times. They really handled the pressure well."
Kyler Ng had a big night with 26 points for the Indians while Bradley Jumper poured in 18, Logan St. Clair 10, Elias Roelfsema five, Seth Harris five and Chance Smith 10.
Magee led the Bulldogs with 22 points while Crockett added four, Travis Vogt 18, J Thomas three, Cody Vogt five, McPherson one and Devore 14.
Carl Junction won the junior varsity game, 71-56. Tyrell Hembree led the Indians with 29 points.
The Indians travel to take on Southwest at 6 p.m. Monday in Washburn, Mo.

Catholic priest convicted of molesting boy, 14
Published: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 6:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 6:33 p.m.
SARASOTA - A Catholic priest could face up to life in prison after a jury found him guilty Friday of eight counts of illegal sexual activity with a teenage boy.
William C. Wert, now 56, had a recurring sexual relationship with a 14-year-old Nokomis boy in which the two exchanged explicit text messages that became key pieces of evidence for the prosecution.
"What was interesting of course was that we had the text message back-and-forth which showed kind of the context of the relationship," said Assistant State Attorney Dawn Buff, who prosecuted the case before Circuit Court Judge Frederick Mercurio.
"You see how he's wooing him and how he's engaging this child in a relationship."
Wert had been in jail without bail since his arrest in February 2011 and will face a minimum sentence of 37 years in prison with a maximum of life in prison.
Wert lived in a Carmelite Catholic Order property in Venice, but his affiliation with the church was kept from jurors, whose deliberation ended Friday afternoon after a four-day trial.
The family of the victim sued the Order of the Carmelites, claiming the Catholic order was aware of Father Wert's past conviction for touching a 14-year-old boy on the inner thigh, but still allowed him to move to the Carmelites' home in Venice.
The church agreed to pay the family $1.75 million before the case could go to trial.
In this week's criminal trial, prosecutors and detectives were able to prove that Wert and the teenager met on an online chat room and then engaged in sexual acts at various locations — including Wert's Venice home, an empty house, a wooded area and a motel room — from September 2010 to January 2011.
Much of the prosecution relied on testimony from the victim, whose rendezvous with Wert were chronicled in cellular text messages, Facebook messages and text conversations retrieved from Skype, the popular online video chat service.
"Some of which were explicit about things that they wanted to do to each other," Buff said, "there was some communication about why don't we meet, when can we meet?"
There were originally 11 charges filed against Wert, two of which were dropped, and one of which the jury found the defendant not guilty.
The Diocese of Venice has previously said Wert is not affiliated with the diocese and did not perform public ministry.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 16.

In its early days, the biotech industry was almost entirely science driven, but it has since expanded from a laboratory environment to a sophisticated and dynamic manufacturing environment. As technological discoveries are increasingly translated into commercial products, biotech companies are realizing that they must generate a stronger return on assets.
The implications of this evolution are that production costs and capacity utilization are becoming critical success factors. In general terms, the drive for operational excellence requires initiatives that improve quality, increase throughput, and reduce waste. This translates into
Biotech facilities are complex and highly regulated, and the industry is on the lookout for technologies that can simplify operations, improve product security, speed up changeovers and consequently improve quality and reduce costs. For this reason, we have seen rapid adoption of single-use technologies, particularly over the last five years. Single-use technologies can play a significant role in this drive for operational excellence by offering closed, sterile, ready-to-use systems that eliminate the risk of cross contamination and the need for cleaning and cleaning validation. This enables faster turnaround and hence higher throughput.
Project management for implementing disposables
The design and specification of process equipment and support operations typically are determined early in facility design, because these factors have a direct impact on facility architecture, utilities, air classifications, and flows of process, material, and personnel. So how do industry end-users evaluate the implementation of single-use systems for a new facility or retrofit project? Two managers with recent experience in this area give their views.
Perspective 1: Using Disposables in a New Facility
Karin Wassard, production director for Bavarian Nordic's smallpox vaccine manufacturing facility, evaluated the use of disposables for a new site.
Despite designing the process around closed systems wherever possible, Wassard decided to go for a low risk approach in construction by keeping room classifications high. This was decided due to parallel activities in closing the process and construction on site.
Bavarian Nordic worked with separate partners who handled engineering, process scale-up and optimization, and disposable systems. The final process design for the disposables implementation was carried out by Bavarian Nordic in collaboration with disposable system providers.

What is the deal with the "parkway" sign on #12? I'm sure they just wanted to honor the guy, but number 12 in the back is already a very tough hole. Now there's a big sign in the fairway to deal with.
It especially disappointing since there is so much room on the OB side of the road that the sign could have been placed!!

The Tennessee House and Senate have introduced bills that protect all guns in Tennessee. It also makes any Federal Laws for gun control or bans - NULL AND VOID!
Sen. Beavers and Rep. Butt Introduce Strong New Legislation to Stop Gun ControlSen. Mae Beavers and Rep. Sheila Butt introduced a bill Tuesday to amend the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act of 2009 so that it adds bold new protections for Tennessee firearms owners. The original Firearms Freedom Act exempted from federal law and authority firearms that were manufactured, sold, and retained in Tennessee.
"The general assembly declares that any federal action prohibited by this chapter relating to firearms, firearms accessories or ammunition, whether made in Tennessee or not, is not authorized by the United States constitution and violates the restrictions contained therein and is hereby declared to be invalid in this state; that said federal action shall not be recognized by this state; and that said federal action is rejected by this state and shall be null and void and of no effect in this state."
HB 0042 Filed to Stop Federal Gun Control in TennesseeToday, Rep. Joe Carr unveiled his legislation to protect Tennesseans against a potential gun ban or registration scheme out of Washington, DC. Sen. Joey Hensley has agreed to carry the bill in the Senate. The new Tennessee bill is a verbatim copy of an earlier version of the Wyoming bill currently pending before their state legislature.
Tennessee's HB 0042 provides for misdemeanor penalties like the earlier version of the Wyoming bill. Because Rep. Carr specifically told the Tennessee Tenth Amendment Center that he feels it is important that the states pass exactly the same bill with exactly the same verbiage, he is looking at filing an amendment to match to the latest version of the Wyoming legislation.
(1) Infringe on, ban, regulate, or restrict state government, local government or civilian ownership, transfer, possession or manufacture of a firearm, a firearm accessory or ammunition in this state;(2) Require any state government, local government or civilian owned firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition in this state to be registered or tracked in any manner; or(3) Impose federal taxes, fees or any other charges on any state government, local government or civilian owned firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition that are payable to any government entity.

February 17, 2006
You may already know government watchdog Woody Merry is suing the Augusta's government. But he's not the only one. The city of Augusta is in the middle of over 30 pending lawsuits. News 12 has the story.
It's one issue they all agree on.
"We've got our plates full and we've just got to work through it," Jimmy Smith said.
Lawsuits are a problem, they're adding up one after another, all against the city of Augusta.
"It's a difficult situation. I'm trying to watch the bottom line of the city and anytime taxpayers' money are being spent in this situation, I don't think it's a good thing," Deke Copenhaver said.
And it's not just Woody Merry suing the government. These Atlanta developers have filed a lawsuit because the commission denied their request to rezone land in West Augusta to build a shopping center. The owners of adult store Video X-Mart are also taking legal action after the commission revoked their license last year.
"I think we need to be a little more careful with some of the decisions that we make," Joe Bowles said.
We researched court records and found there have been over 50 lawsuits filed against the city in the last five years. Nearly 30 of them are still pending.
"You can't prepare for all these lawsuits hit at one time, you can't budget for it," Copenhaver said.
Commissioner JR Hatney agrees, it's a problem. But he says there's really no simple solution.
"People sue all the time. This is a suing age and the attorneys make sure that folks do this because they advertise," Hatney said.
Commissioner Joe Bowles says there is something that can be done. Commissioners can listen to the advice of the city attorney.
"When your attorney tells you it's gonna be a hard case to defend, you need to heed that advice accordingly instead of spending taxpayers money on a lawsuit the city problem will not prevail in," Bowles said.
