Connecticut Regulator Approves More Than 100 Megawatts of Renewable Generation Projects
February 4, 2008
The Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control has approved seven renewable energy projects that will supply nearly 110 megawatts (MW) of electricity to the state's regulated utilities. The projects include those that generate electricity from biomass, landfill methane gas, and fuel cells.
Each of the selected projects' developers will enter into 20-year contracts to sell the energy to either Connecticut Light and Power Company, based in Hartford, or United Illuminating Company, based in New Haven. Together, the projects will generate enough energy to be sold for an estimated $101 million to ratepayers.
The department approved the following projects:
- 30-MW biomass project to be developed in Bozrah by Clearview Energy LLC
- 30-MW landfill methane gas project to be developed in Norwalk by South Norwalk Electric Works
- 3-MW biomass project to be developed in North Canaan by Clearview East Canaan LLC
- 30-MW biomass project to be developed in Plainfield by Plainfield Renewable Energy
- 9-MW fuel cell project to be developed in Milford by DFC ERG Milford Fuel Cell and FuelCell Energy Inc.
- 2.4-MW fuel cell project to be developed in Waterbury by FuelCell Energy Inc.
- 4.8-MW fuel cell project to be developed in Stamford by FuelCell Energy Inc.
The department also approved a contingent fuel cell project in Danbury that would be developed by Triangle Fuel Cell should any of the other projects be unable to achieve operating status.
By law, the department must give preference to proposals that provide a financial benefit to ratepayers or that enhance the reliability of the state's transmission system.
For more information, see the department's January 30 press release.

Ciaran Hinds was amazed to be offered the iconic role of Big Daddy in the latest Broadway production of Tennessee Williams's masterpiece, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, starring Scarlett Johansson. Cahir O'Doherty talks to the Belfast-born actor about acting alongside Johansson, and co-star Benjamin Walker's startling resemblance to his oldest friend Liam Neeson.
Like a lot of successful actors Ciaran Hinds, currently electrifying Broadway audiences in the iconic role of multimillion Southern plantation owner Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, can live a pretty weird life.
Finding himself in London, New York or even Reykjavik at a moment's notice, the challenge Hinds, 59, faces with each new role never changes -- sink or swim.
Belfast-born and raised Hinds confesses to the Irish Voice that he had to skip out of rehearsals for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for an entire week last year to film his new starring role in the forthcoming third season of worldwide Belfast-made HBO hit Game of Thrones.
Playing Mance Rayder, the legendary King Beyond the Wall, was a role Hinds knew little about, but his agent insisted he take a look at it.
"I was aware of the popularity of the show but I've got to catch up on the whole series," he says.
"My English agent told me that it was based in Belfast and that they then go off for a couple of weeks to do location work. He knew a lot of people in it. He knew it was really good."
Fans of the international hit know that Rayder is a pivotal role in the sword and sorcery epic, but Hinds initially thought it would be a small commitment.
"They said it would literally be three or four days work in Belfast. I thought, 'That's great I can spend time with my sisters and return to work.' He told me I wouldn't have to do a follow up until November."
But the follow up turned out to be in the middle of a blizzard in northeast Iceland. As commitments go, it was starting to mushroom.
"They only give you the script you're in. They don't give you the full storyline. So I did it but I had no idea how it went," he says.
"Then I put it out of my mind. I saw my mum for the rest of the week."
Meanwhile, Hinds had been surprised to be offered the iconic role of Big Daddy Pollitt, the rough around the edges Southern millionaire in Tennessee Williams's greatest play. He couldn't think why they had thought of him.
"'That's mad,' I said, when my agent mentioned the offer. He agreed with me but said it would be interesting," Hinds recalls.
"The dates conflicted with Game of Thrones though. So I flew into New York, started work for eight days, then flew over to north east Iceland for six days in a blizzard.
"I had just been working in a Mississippi accent, then I had to go over there and work in a Yorkshire one. Mississippi kept sneaking in," he laughs.
"It was kind of scary but kind of exciting to be in a mad blizzard in Iceland. To go from the Mississippi Delta to north Iceland in the same week was magic. This is my life, weird as it may sound."
Rayder's part defines the Game of Thrones series, which Hinds only realized as he began to play the role.
"If I'd known that I would have practiced a bit more," he laughs. "Maybe they'll put me right. I'm waiting to catch up on what they have planned.
"I saw the first series and I found some of the sexuality and violence a little gratuitous and it annoyed me but then it calmed down a bit, but the storytelling and the juggling of the storylines are fantastic. It draws you in and takes you elsewhere."
Hinds mentions the work of fellow Belfast actor Conleth Hill in the series, which fans of the show will be delighted to hear.
"I have seen his work in the third series and it is absolutely brilliant," he says with admiration.
As for his role in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Hinds praises the show director, Tony Award winner and eight-time nominee Rob Ashford.
"It was more than just about making it sexy. He wanted to make it earthy and real. The play was based on real people. We want to get to their complexity rather than play them as icons," says Hinds.
Burl Ives and Laurence Olivier have played, and some would argue defined, the role of Big Daddy. Hinds was determined to make the role work on his terms.
"When I read the script I found his treatment of his wife shocking. We learn that he has sat around quietly for the past few years in fear of his own mortality," offers Hinds.
"When he hears he doesn't have cancer, when he hears he's going to survive, wrongly as it turns out, it sort of clears away any doubts he's had about his life.
"He decides he wants to get through his birthday party and take the opportunity to talk to the only person that he really loves [his son Brick, played by Benjamin Walker]."

Gangnam, flash mobs and trendy restaurant-hopping? The Dishcrawl event that hit downtown San Jose on Oct. 2 promised something a little out of the ordinary -- a gourmet-gangnam flash mob that mixed K-pop dance moves with noshing.
Unless you've been asleep at the mouse, you know all about Gangnam, the viral sensation known for infectious, ridiculous, jubilant, jockey-style dance maneuvers. The original video by South Korean pop star Psy -- Park Jae-Sang -- has racked up more than 286 million views on YouTube and enough parodies to make it the "Call Me Maybe" of fall.
It also caught the attention of Dishcrawl founder Tracy Lee and her staff. Dishcrawl is the foodie twist on a pub crawl -- a progressive dinner that sends groups of diners off to stroll, sip and sample their way through three restaurants for $25. They gangnamed and noshed their way through San Jose's hip new Myth Taverna, Firehouse Bar and Grill, and Blush raw bar and lounge.
Catch an encore on Oct. 10 in Oakland (http://dishcrawl.com/gangnam) and a slide show of images from the San Jose event at www.mercurynews.com/food-wine.

I am not Vegan. That term is starting to sound as absurd to me as "Straight Edge," but the initial concepts they are presented as are appealing.

I have a hard time meeting people in general, let alone people who are veggies of some sort and into good music ...I'm curious, if any of you don't mind, saying why and how it's been being a vegetarian/vegan/etc.

How to Make College Pay Off
ELEANOR BLAYNEY: Your job as a college student is to disprove the following adage: "Youth is wasted on the young."
Your parents undoubtedly believe this is gospel truth, as evidenced by their wistful looks as they drive away in the minivan. Forget about them missing you, or their pain over that first tuition bill. They're sad because they're envious, pure and simple. They'd give anything to trade places with you and "do over" their college years, this time taking full advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime to set the course for a financially secure and satisfying life.
So what can you do as a college student that most of us parents probably didn't but wish we had?
Build a diversified portfolio of human capital. Sign up for courses not necessarily on the beaten path to a given major or career. Naturally, you want your investment in education to pay off in a good job, but the range of your knowledge is as important as its depth. In today's labor marketplace, versatility is a plus. An engineer major who speaks a foreign language, or a business student who understands human psychology, often stands out to a prospective employer.
Learn and practice financial integrity. The best part about college is flexing your independence, so make sure this includes how you handle your money. Don't become a slave to credit, confusing your credit line with money in your pocket. Learn to plan ahead for upcoming expenses, and to balance needs and wants. Consider this: one common trait among millionaires is not necessarily their high incomes, but their ability to live within their means.
Master the concept of opportunity cost as important to good decision-making. There are so many opportunities ahead: places to go, friends to hang with, activities to pursue. Learn to weigh these attractions not just in terms of their benefits, but also their costs. If you choose this option, what other option might you have to forego?
Learning to think this way will lay the foundation for making smart financial decisions for the rest of your life.

to listen to nurses in survey
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:24 p.m.
SARASOTA - Voalté Inc., the locally based clinical communications provider, is working with "American Nurse Today" -- the journal of the American Nurses Association -- to conduct what it describes as the first "clinical communications" survey.
Participants will be asked about how their clinical staff communicates, the communications tools used, how those devices are managed, and about the daily communications challenges facing clinical staff.
Besides an academic pursuit, everyone who answers the survey could be a potential customer for the company: Voalté turned the iPhone and other smartphones into a portable nursing station, a product now used by scores of hospitals around the nation.
"Nurses are the lifeblood of the clinical-care system and it is important they are able to communicate with each other effectively during critical situations," Voalté chief executive Rob Campbell said in a statement. "We hope through this survey we learn more about how nurses are communicating and the communications challenges they face. We hope the results can be a catalyst for improving point-of-care communications."
Voalte and American Nurses Today will be conducting the survey through Feb. 15. For more information, go to surveymonkey.com/s/ClinicalCommunicationsSurvey.

NC abortion-rights supporters pressure McCrory
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 12:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 12:05 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Abortion-rights supporters are planning to camp outside of Gov. Pat McCrory's executive mansion in a last-ditch effort to get him to veto new regulations they say could put clinics out of commission.
Planned Parenthood is expected to gather its forces Monday and Tuesday for a pair of 12-hour vigils despite McCrory's saying Friday he will sign the legislation the General Assembly passed last week.
Organizers are emphasizing that McCrory made a campaign promise when he said last fall that he would approve no new restrictions on abortions. McCrory says the bill provides safeguards, not restrictions.
The legislation would require the state to develop stricter regulations of abortion clinics and allow additional medical personnel to refuse to participate in abortion procedures as a matter of conscience.

ORLANDO -- Before the Warriors took on host Orlando, they couldn't help talk about the deadly shooting in Newtown, Conn. A gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School, reportedly killing 20 children and six adults before turning the gun on himself.
It is one of the worst mass shootings in American history and its impact did not escape Golden State's locker room.
"For starters, I want to send thoughts and prayers to the people in Connecticut who were impacted by this tragedy," coach Mark Jackson said during pregame interview. "I'm praying for everyone in this world. It certainly is a tragedy, and I'm lifting those folks up."
Assistant coach Jerry DeGregorio used to live 20 minutes from the site of the shooting. Point guard Stephen Curry and center Andris Biedrins have small children. Even rookies Draymond Green and Kent Bazemore were still in shock, pondering how something like that could happen.
"Not being able to drop your kids off at school and know that they're going to be safe and you'll be able to pick them up after school is a tough feeling to have," Curry said. "All you can do is pray and hope they find some kind of comfort and peace in the situation, and that something happens that helps our nation become safer."
Jackson, a pastor who has dealt first-hand with families that have experienced tragedy, seemed especially emotional before the game.
"I really pray for folks who are struggling on a daily basis and who have dark thoughts," he said. "I pray for them to get help, because they need help and there are so many folks who they are impacting if they don't seek help. I encourage the folks around them, who know that they need help, don't try to be experts. Seek help. We don't want to wind up with days like this."

Brings tabs to your native Finder and more!
- Tabs like in Google Chrome!
- Adds a dual mode
- Finder available system-wide on a hot-key
- Cut and Paste
- Stops creating .DS_Store litter
- Show the folders always on top
Required OS: not specified

Nice enhansment to native Mac OSX Finder. Good features inside. Absolutely helpful.
I really have to concur with the latest comments, the current version (1.1.11) is a wonderful piece of software. Last I wrote in here about stability issues, but all of these have been addressed, and added to that, Cut/CMD+X functionality has been added. Wuhu.
Only little thing nagging me, is the fact that tabs seem animated, as I bet they could be even faster with a no-nonsense approach.
But, this is certainly what the Finder should be. And lightweight, superintegrated also. Bought. :-)
The best thing to happen to OSX productivity since Quicksilver!! Now one of the few apps I default install on a new computer before I can start using it.
I still heavily use Spaces for purpose-built environments so it's actually a pleasure to be able to pop-up the Visor of all my tabbed Finder windows from the bottom of any Space that I'm in.
Some extra features that aren't immediately apparent that also speed up repetitive operations for me are:
- drag-and-drop files/folders from one tab to the Tab label of another tab to immediately copy over.
- Key Shortcut to quickly show/hide System files (easily the fastest way yet to do this).
Best of all, has become very stable, responsive and frequently updated!
The best Mac app ever. It's real killer!
I bought the full version (1.0) and "folders on top" works in all views now. Brilliant.
The tabs are absolutely fine the way they are. Some people want Safari style tabs - I hope that will become merely an additional option in the preferences.
0.9.6 failed to install and the app sent a auto-msg to the author, and within hours, I received an email from Antonin himself, with a link to the 0.9.8 update.
This update works flawlessly !
Here's a link to the update page :
I have used TotalFinder for a few weeks now and it has really boosted my workflow. I switched off Apple's "Spaces" for good after only a few hours with TotalFinder.
It runs absolutely stable for me, zero crashes. One small niggle: the "folders on top" option works in list view but sadly not in column view.
However, the tabs alone are such a huge improvement over Apple's finder that I'll happily pay for TotalFinder once it is out of beta.
I am using it since the very first launch and I must say it is impressive alternative to native Finder and any other one that is available. Best part it is Open Source - so far.
Thanks Antonin!
@jespar A bit confused, it is still in alpha, and you cannot pay for it.
I have been using this for about 6 weeks, and it is such a part of my workflow now I will have to buy it once it reaches 1.0.
It is stable on both my home and work mac, perhaps 3 crashes in total.
One last note, excited about the one license multiple machines.
Still really unstable on my Mac (freezes), I can't believe money is charged for this application at the current step of development.
But, the app has surely come a long way since the first version, tabs and drag'n'drop being well-implemented now. Although, before even considering a purchase I would still need:
1) Stability. A lot more.
2) Cut-n-paste of files (preferably using CMD+X and CMD+V)

Honesdale suffered a nightmarish loss in Game One of Sunday's Collegiate Summer Baseball League twinbill against visiting Dunmore.
The Ramblers got off to a rough start in this one, eventually dropping a 10-0 Mercy Rule decision.
To their immense credit, the Red & Black refused to quit. The local lads fought back with a vengeance, pounding the ball all over the yard en route to a 24-1 win in the nightcap.
With this doubleheader sweep, Honesdale's overall CSBL?record now stands at 7-6 for the year.
Next up for Coach John?Granquist's squad is a Wednesday evening showdown with Wagners.
Game One
Rob Haines took the hill in the opener and worked three innings before yielding to the bullpen.
Justin Magistro came on in relief and went the rest of the way for Honesdale.
The Ramblers managed just two basehits in Game One. Ryan Soden and John Granquist each rapped a first inning single.
Riley Sullivan dominated this one on the hill, Dunmore's ace tossed a complete game shutout and went 4-for-4 at the plate.
However, the Ramblers took out their frustrations on a bevy of pitchers in the nightcap. Honesdale erupted for 14 runs in the first two innings, then cruised to a 24-1 triumph.
Ian Dassance earned the spotlight in this one. A former standout at Wallenpaupack Area, Dassance is nearly two years removed form major elbow surgery.
On Sunday, Ian celebrated his coming out party in style. He smoked an RBI?double in the first, then unleashed a towering opposite field homerun in the home second.
Nick Mazza, Mark Granquist and John Granquist each added a 2-run double for the Ramblers.
Ryan Loughran rolled to a complete game win on the pitcher's mound.
Score by Innings...
DUN (6-7) 0 1 0 0 x x x - 1

TRACY - Amazon will soon sign a deal to open a 1-million-square-foot distribution and fulfillment center in Tracy, Mayor Brent Ives said today.
Ives said the center would create about 1,000 jobs and pump about $1 million a year in tax revenue into city coffers.
He said the center is the result of years of work to prepare industrial sites in Tracy for exactly this kind of "new economy" business.
The Tracy center is in addition to the previously announced center in Patterson. Ives said the center will be operating in time for the 2013 holiday season.

"Game of Thrones," HBO's epic fantasy saga, led the way with 19 nominations, including one for best drama, as Emmy award voters on Thursday recognized the standout shows and performances from an extraordinary year of television.
Other top nominees included two offbeat miniseries from FX: "Fargo" with 18 bids and "American Horror Story: Coven" with 17. "The Normal Heart," an HBO film set in the early days of the AIDS crisis, earned 16 nominations, while "Breaking Bad" also received 16 bids for its final season, including best drama and a best actor nod for Bryan Cranston.
Meanwhile, the streaming service Netflix continued to make major Emmy inroads. Its moody political thriller "House of Cards" will compete for best-drama honors for the second straight year. Netflix also has a major contender on the comedy side with the buzzy "Orange Is the New Black." The women's prison saga earned 12 nods, including one for best comedy and one for its star Taylor Schilling.
The most intriguing race looks to be in the best drama series category, where "Game of Thrones" will vie with defending champ "Breaking Bad," HBO's highly acclaimed crime series "True Detective" and "House of Cards." Other nominees include four-time winner "Mad Men" and "Downton Abbey."
In the best comedy series race, this could be the year that four-time winner "Modern Family" finally falls as "Orange Is the New Black" figures to generate major heat. Other nominees in the category include veterans "The Big Bang Theory," "Louie" and "Veep," along with newcomer "Silicon Valley."
The 66th prime-time Emmy Awards ceremony will have plenty of big-screen star power. As expected, this year's Academy Awards best-actor winner Matthew McConaughey is up for best actor in a drama series for his stunning performance in "True Detective." Also up for Emmys are Chiwetel Ejiofor, an Oscar nominee this year for "12 Years a Slave," and past Oscar winner Julia Roberts. In addition, Woody Harrelson is in contention for a best-actor Emmy against his "True Detective" co-star McConaughey.
As usual, the Emmy nominations featured a number of glaring oversights. Chief among them: the extraordinary CBS legal drama "The Good Wife." Though series star Julianna Margulies did receive recognition in the best-actress category, the show itself was not nominated. This despite one of the season's most-talked about story lines -- the stunning death of a major character -- and a highly aggressive CBS promotional campaign that trumpeted the fact that "The Good Wife" churns out 22 episodes, compared to only seven for "Mad Men" and eight for "True Detective."
The omission of "The Good Wife" means that, for the second straight year, no show from a major broadcast network is included in the field for best drama.
Other prominent snubs included Tatiana Maslany, the actress who plays multiple roles in BBC's clone conspiracy drama "Orphan Black." Despite fervent support from critics and fans, Emmy voters chose to ignore her for a second straight year.
Also overlooked were highly acclaimed dramas such as "Masters of Sex" from Showtime and "The Americans" from FX. Many industry observers had figured that one or both shows might make the field, possibly displacing "Downton Abbey" and/or "Mad Men."
Still, the Emmy competition does have its share of exciting fresh blood. "Silicon Valley," Mike Judge's hilariously quirky tale of computer nerds chasing their dreams in the high-tech mecca, managed to become that rare freshman show that breaks into the best comedy competition. Lizzy Caplan ("Masters of Sex") is a highly welcome newbie in the best drama actress race, and all the love for "Fargo" -- one of the year's absolute gems -- is gratifying.
Going into the nomination announcements, much of the talk was pegged to the way networks were playing loose with the category assignments. HBO, for example, basically threw down the gauntlet by placing "True Detective" in the best drama competition instead of the less prestigious miniseries category. And Netflix raised eyebrows by pushing "Orange Is the New Black" as a comedy, despite the show's dramatic overtones. It will be interesting to see if the voters agree.
The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards will air Monday, Aug. 25, on NBC, with Seth Meyers serving as host. The ceremony, traditionally held on Sunday, was moved to avoid a conflict with NBC's "Sunday Night Football."

BELPRE - The Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the culmination of 2012 with about 200 community leaders, citizens and business owners at the 75th annual dinner Thursday in St. Ambrose Catholic Church.
"The chamber has been fortunate that we have seen growth this year," said Mayor Mike Lorentz. "I think it's because our city is looking and acting different and being more welcoming."
The keynote speaker for this year's event was Chuck Martin, former ABC News Bureau chief, owner of KCLW-AM in Hamilton, Texas, and KBSS-FM in Booneville, Ark., and board member at the Wood County Family Crisis Intervention Center's Domestic Violence Shelter. Martin is the owner of Martin Broadcasting Co.

Joyce Lorentz, Belpre's first lady, receives the Citizen of the Year Award from chamber president Jon Neff Thursday evening during the 75th annual Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce dinner at St. Ambrose Catholic Church.
Martin spoke fondly of his work with the Wood County Family Crisis Intervention Center and Domestic Violence Shelter.
He mentioned the men and women who have gone there for help and how important it is to help others in this lifetime.
"The whole life is knowing where to go for help," Martin said as his mantra. "We all are gifted with a unique set of skills and abilities.
"You don't have to do incredible things, just being there for people and making a difference is all anyone needs to do," he said. "Doing something amazing is wonderful for all of us, but helping people is so much more."
Martin, who has received more than 37 awards for his broadcasting and journalism work, also talked about working in the news industry.
"I spent time with and met many presidents from Lyndon Johnson to William Jefferson Clinton to George Herbert Walker Bush," he said. "Nixon was strange, Carter was nice and Bush was a gentleman.
"Of all the people I have ever met, only two I got goosebumps when I walked into the room and those were Congresswoman Barbara Jordan of Houston, Texas, and Bill Clinton."
Martin closed with words of wisdom for all in the room.
"Have compassion, be a mentor to someone, somehow," he said. "I believe that we are who we choose to be."
The Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce took time to recognize area businesses, volunteers and named the Student of the Year and Citizen of the Year.
This year's Citizen of the Year is Joyce Lorentz for her commitment to the community and its people.
"I had no idea," said Joyce Lorentz after the event. "Everyone just surprised me."
Along with the announcements and speakers, chamber board members handed out the following awards:
* Belpre High School student Maggie Mammo was given the Dick Thomas Scholarship Student of the Year Award.
* Spirit Award was given to Kathy Gramkow.
* Hawkins Family Dentistry was given the 10 Years of Service Award.
* Irvine's Camper Sales was given the 45 Years of Service Award.
* Washington/Morgan Community Action was given the 45 Years of Service Award.
* Real Living McCarthy Real Estate was given the 55 Years of Service Award.
* Steers Heating and Cooling was given the 75 Years of Service Award.
* Belpre Savings Bank was given the 110 Years of Service Award.

VAIL - Burton Snowboarding and Vail Mountain announced a partnership Monday that will bring the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships to Vail for the foreseeable future, starting this coming season.
The event is second only to the X Games in terms of the most renowned annual freestyle snowboarding competitions, said professional Burton rider and Olympic gold medalist Kelly Clark.
Clark was in Vail last week with fellow Burton pro rider Mark McMorris, as well as Snow Park Technologies, the company that will be building the venue at Golden Peak for the Feb. 25 to March 2, 2013 event. They were getting a sneak peek at the new venue as well as familiarizing themselves with Vail in general.
"(Vail will) give it a different identity for sure, but I think there's a lot of opportunity moving forward," Clark said. "Even today, walking through where the venues are going to be and hearing more about it, I'm more excited than ever and looking forward to it."
The U.S. Open has spent the last 30 years in Vermont - the home of Burton Snowboards - the last 27 at Stratton Mountain. Clark grew up going to the event and watching athletes do things on snowboards she could only dream of at the time.
The company made the decision to move the event and approached Vail, said Vail Mountain marketing director Adam Sutner, adding that Vail is fortunate to have been chosen.
Sutner said the Burton brand is not dissimilar from the Vail brand. He calls them both "leader brands" in the snow sports industry and said the partnership is "the perfect marriage."
Jake Burton, the founder of Burton Snowboards, thanked Stratton Mountain in a statement released Monday for 27 years of hosting the U.S. Open.
"Stratton not only hosted the Open for 27 years, but also played a pivotal role in making resort riding a reality," Burton said. "And as we look to the future progression of the U.S. Open, I feel that Vail offers us the ideal venue to host the event. Vail is an incredible mountain and has been my snowboarding home-away-from-home for over 20 years. I have no doubt that the U.S. Open at Vail will only grow in its legacy as the premier rider-driven event in the world."
Being a rider-driven event is something the U.S. Open has become known for over the years, said Burton Global public relations director Anne-Marie Dacyshyn. It's also the longest-running snowboard event in history.
"It is the most authentic, relevant and iconic snowboard event - that we can say; that's untouchable," Dacyshyn said. "It's what the riders want."
Chris Gunnarson, owner of Snow Park Technologies, is tasked with providing just that - what the riders want. He walked around Golden Peak with Clark and McMorris last Thursday to check out the venue and hear from them about what they hope to see built there.
"Here, you've got this awesome spectating amphitheater at the bottom, the proximity to the pipe is incredibly close, (and Vail has) a phenomenal snowmaking system right there," Gunnarson said. "It's got some really good pitch changes. It's a little shorter than some of the other courses, but we have some creative ways because of how wide it is at the top, that we're going to get wide before we get narrow. It's all part of the creative process and I think it's going to be incredible - such a great venue."
Snow Park Technologies is at the top of the game in terms of building snowboarding freestyle features. The company builds everything at the X Games and for the Dew Tour, among other events.
Atop Vail's Golden Peak, Gunnarson likes what he sees.
"It's a pretty ideal piece of real estate right there from every aspect, and so what's great is you have these two venues right next to each other that create one big venue with both courses - that's one of the most refreshing changes (about moving the U.S. Open to Vail)," he said.
Clark is looking forward to the halfpipe, which she said will be steep and long, which caters to rider progression. And Clark, the winningest woman in halfpipe history, loves progression because it's inspiring.
"Having a large event with such immediate access to a large city like Denver will bring a good crowd and maybe give the local kids around here some inspiration - I know, for me, the U.S. Open being in Vermont was a tremendous inspiration," Clark said. "From that perspective, it will be inspiring to the local youth to really show them what's possible to do on a snowboard and inspire them to pursue their dreams."
Clark ranks the top three freestyle snowboarding competitions in order as the Olympics, the X Games and the U.S. Open, respectively. Any rider who wins at those events can call themselves "pretty established," she said.
Vail hasn't had a major snowboarding competition since the Honda Session, which the Vail Valley Foundation canceled after 2008. Vail Valley Foundation vice president of communications John Dakin said there was no one thing that contributed to the cancellation of Honda Session, but rather a number of factors.
Bringing the U.S. Open to Vail means that all of the major snowboarding competitions - the Dew Tour (Breck), X Games (Aspen), Grand Prix (Copper) and U.S. Open - will now be held in Colorado.

Southwest, AirTran Fly Into Merger Problems
The airline-merger gremlins have started to frustrate travelers at Southwest and AirTran airlines.
This week's Middle Seat reports on problems travelers have encountered as the two discount airlines, which are No. 1 in domestic passengers carried, have begun splicing together their flight schedules this year.
Travelers say Southwest Airlinesents struggle with AirTran Airways tickets and vice versa, sometimes leaving passengers who have been delayed and need rebooking in the lurch. Different prices and seat availability sometimes show up for the same flight on Southwest's and AirTran's online sites. Buying early boarding privileges on Southwest doesn't get you early boarding on connecting AirTran flights. Frequent-flier credits remain separate, and Southwest companion passes, awarded to top frequent fliers, can't be used on AirTran.
The Southwest-AirTran merger may seem small and simple considering the corporate marriages of bigger, more-complex international carriers like US Airways and American Airlines, United-Continental and Delta-Northwest. But Southwest is at a big disadvantage: Its homegrown reservation system needs major help to handle code-sharing of flights with AirTran plus AirTran's international flights. So while Southwest is busing replacing AirTran, it also is replacing much of Southwest, in terms of reservation and passenger handling systems.
Those computer systems are the most difficult part of any airline merger, executives say. For now, Southwest is running two computer systems on different screens for airport agents, and is essentially running two separate airlines. Customers are getting frustrated as they run into some brick walls between the two airlines.
As the merger starts its third year, the story shows what's ahead, and where customer frustrations are rising.

The relief effort is intensifying in the Gulf region and some local emergency workers are gearing up to help. News 12 explains the plans for Columbia County's Community Emergency Response Team.
"If you're not prepared, you're helpless, you can do anything for anybody," said Lorraine Lynch, CERT volunteer.
So Lorraine Lynch is heading straight for the disaster zone. She is part of the 14-member Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, going to Mississippi.
"We do have a level of anxiety. I think that's normal. Basically, what our goal is to utilize our skills and assist whatever necessary because that's what's needed right now," Lynch said.
They don't know exactly where they're going, just somewhere in Mississippi, a place still dealing with devastation. Lynch knows it will be hard to deal with.
"I'm an emotional person and I know I'll have to be strong, but they need us more. We can be of service to them, and that will overcome some of our emotions. It will help that we are helping," Lynch said.
"We're told they're going to be working directly with the victims in the hard hit disaster area. It's going to be dirty and uncomfortable. But they'll make sure the victims have water and all the necessities to keep them alive," said Pam Tucker, Director of Emergency Services.
Pam Tucker says this will be CERT's first real test. Each member goes through weeks of training, from first-aid to search and rescue. Just last month, they were put to the test at Columbia County's disaster drill.
"We've done a lot of exercises and all the training and now they really get to put those skills to good use in a very useful way to help people," Tucker said.
Suiting up and shipping out, a band of 14 Columbia County volunteers. They're going into the unknown, but trained for the worst.
The 14-member CERT team will leave sometime this weekend and stay in the recovery zone for five days.

Rey Maualuga?
from the following article...
"As for free agents there are a couple of intriguing names out there. One that the Steelers should definitely kick the tires on is Rey Maualuga a middle linebacker who has plays for the Bengals. Maualuga has lost snaps to rookie Vontaze Burfict and may not be retained in free agency. If the price is right Maualuga could be the perfect compliment to Timmons in the middle of the Steelers 3-4 alignment."

I just looked at my calendar and realized that my 100 day countdown starts today! (Don't worry, I won't be doing a daily thread to count it down!) I will be doing the Breast Cancer Half Marathon in Jacksonville (FL) on 20/13/11, and am super excited!
I am just about on target with my training plan, and have a few issues to address (such as toe cramps & blisters during a 10K), but will experiment with some new socks and the anti-chafe products (thanks to Surfing_Vol and Lenzlaw for the recs!). But it's better to be experimenting now than the week before the race!
Thank you all for the advice and inspiration you give!
I will see you in Jacksonville then - running my first full marathon! I am sure you got great advice for your blisters - I use Aquaphor or Bodyglide for chafing. I also wear good fitting running socks (Feetures are my favorite brand) and replace them often!
Enjoy the journey!
Good luck on your first half-marathon! I'm sure you will do well and really enjoy the event. My advice to you is to not put too much pressure on yourself and continue to tell yourself that you are not trying to set any records but have a great time. Keep up with your training and have fun!
@ SElaine, have you run this race before? It looks like it is a really awesome event! Thanks for the advice about the Aquaphor and Bodyglide. I think I'm going to pick up some of the Bodyglide and try it. (I use either Bagbalm or Balmex Clear to heal the chafing -- my husband thinks it is funny that I use diaper rash cream, but it works!) I just got some of the Thor Lo socks (the Experia and the wool/silk blend) and will try them out. It is quite a journey!
@rocdoc, I'm not going to worry about my time at all -- I am just going to concentrate on finishing it and enjoying the accomplishment!
How did your first half go Helen?
Hey rocdoc! Unfortunately, I ended up not doing it, but I'm gearing up for one in October, and one in November! I may skip the October one (it's on a Saturday, and if my son plays soccer, the games are on Saturdays) but I'm definitely doing the one in November -- they even have a kids' marathon, which my son is very excited about!
My goal is to do 5 HMs before I turn 50, which will be in January 2017.
Hi Helen,
If you haven't considered it, I just ran the Gasparilla half marathon in Tampa and I highly recommend it as a "must do". The expo is great and the spectators and volunteers are out of this world, and the scenery is wonderful. There are more than enough aid stations with gatorade and water, one with Gu (I use sport beans and took my own) and each aid station had three or four port-a-potty's. My only issue was with the runners themselves and is one present at all races I participated in, that is slower runners taking a starting spot nearer the front and blocking faster runners. They apparently don't realize that if they let the faster runners get away first, then, the mob thins out faster.

Thanks for the tip, John! I've looked at the website for Gasparilla and it definitely looks fun!
Helen - I'll be hitting the big 50 two years ahead of you! I'm not sure what part of the world you reside in but here in Tampa (home of the Gasparilla) we usually have a boatload of races to choose from. It doesn't hurt that it is a nice vacation destination. Like John, I ran the Gasparilla Distance Classic this year and it was spectacular! The weather cooperating was huge but the overall organization of the race was (I thought) better this year than any other. This would be a great first half because you get PLENTY of support from elementary,middle and high schools kids cheering you on to spectators doing the same. What makes this even better is that that is the way it is through 90 percent of the race. Also they have plenty of water/gatorade stops, porta-potties, gu/energy bars, and a HUGE finisher medal. On top of all this, they have lots of food to eat after the race. It really is a very festive event. October and November are great times for halfs so you should be able to pick and choose one you like. As far as doing 5 halfs before 2017, I have a funny feeling once you get into it you will do more than that by that time.
John425 - Sounds like you enjoyed the Gasparilla also. We may have passed each other somewhere out there. That situation with the slower runners impeding the faster runners path was a hot issue. I think better education on running etiquette is needed for this race. I'm sure many first timers may have not known the rules to proper running positioning. Based on the responses the race commission received, I am sure they will rectify this in the future. It looks like I might be seeing you at the Space Coast Marathon in November as that is where I want to do my first Marathon.

The National Weather Service has started the upgrade to Dual-Pol technology on the KHGX radar site as of Thursday, January 10th. Here's a brief description on how it will bring better storm data and understanding to weather happening across the region.
It's a Bird! It's a Snowstorm! It's a … Flying Barn? NOAA's Upgraded Radars Now Know the Difference. Bet you didn't know that when you look at a Doppler radar image, you are seeing more than just rain or snow moving through the atmosphere. In fact, Doppler radars show a mash-up of everything in the sky, from severe weather to birds and mosquitoes to airborne tornado debris. While these radars were a huge meteorological advancement in the early '90s when NOAA first began using them, the technology left meteorologists with the tough job of sorting out weather from clutter as they developed weather forecasts to warn the public.
Dual polarization technology gives a 2-D snapshot to forecasters allowing them to see the size and shape of the scanned object.
But that's becoming a thing of the past. Doppler radar technology has evolved, thanks to the dedicated work of NOAA researchers who developed dual polarization technology, or dual-pol (pronounced "dual pole"). This new technology helps forecasters distinguish between rain, snow, hail, and other flying objects that muddy the radar picture. The dual-pol upgrade includes new software and a hardware attachment to the radar dish that sends and receives both horizontal and vertical pulses, providing a much more informative two-dimensional picture. The original Doppler radar only has a one-dimensional view.
NOAA's National Weather Service is half-way through upgrading its network of 160 Doppler radars throughout the nation with this new technology. The dual-pol upgrade is the most significant enhancement ever made to the nation's radar network since Doppler radar was first installed in the early 1990s. Providing better information about the type of precipitation in the atmosphere and its intensity, size and location, dual-pol radars will increase the accuracy of forecasts and allow for more accurate and timely warnings, giving the public better information to protect their lives and property.
Radar image of a mixed precipitation weather event in New York. Dual-Pol helps forecasters distinguish between rain, snow, hail, and other objects.
Another important benefit: dual-pol more clearly detects airborne tornado debris – allowing forecasters to confirm a tornado is on the ground and causing damage so they can more confidently warn communities in its path. This is especially helpful in the dark when ground spotters are unable to see the tornado.
Enhanced confidence in weather forecasts will improve public response to weather warnings, helping to create a more weather-ready nation. Dual-pol radars also could save the nation about 700 million dollars annually by reducing weather-related damages.

Maybe cutting down on overtime will counteract the regular wage giveaways.
The Terraces at Lafayette, proposed as a 315-unit apartment complex with 569 parking spaces, has been considerably downsized (208 units, 375 parking spaces) because -- drumroll, please -- the Lafayette Design Review Commission refused to endorse the developer's original plans.
In Lafayette, at least, local decision-makers still determine what will and what won't be built.
The scattershot approach -- bans in some cities, not in others -- is also apt to produce unwanted results. When Pittsburg's law kicks in next year, for instance, won't shoppers who want the convenience of plastic bags simply take their business to Antioch?
Walnut Creek may have shown the greatest wisdom, endorsing two state bills -- SB 405 and AB 158 -- that would impose standard restrictions throughout the state. If plastic bags really are a threat to the environment, piecemeal solutions hardly seem the best way to handle it.
"We understand the factors that contribute to street crime -- poverty, unemployment, racism, education, public health -- but street violence starts in the home. We're not going to effectively address street gangs and shootings until we can create environments in people's homes that are safe and people resolve conflict in a peaceful way."
Magnus shared the Rollie Mullen Award, recognizing commitment to STAND!'s mission, with colleague Capt. Bisa French, who said domestic violence calls once meant only breaking up fights. Officers now do follow-up calls, referring victims to social welfare advocates and counseling services.

WASHINGTON (December 12, 2012)—U.S. House Republican leaders are pressing President Barack Obama to come up with plan they can accept for spending cuts and tax revenue to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and budget reductions.
Speaker John Boehner told reporters Wednesday at a Capitol Hill news conference that he and the White House have some "serious differences."
He said the GOP proposal is a balanced approach.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor urged the president Wednesday to produce more specifics and raised the possibility of Congress being in session through the Christmas holiday.
The combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts would go into effect after the first of the year.
Economists have warned it could plunge the nation into a recession.
Boehner and Mr. Obama spoke by phone on Tuesday.

2 Fletcher convenience stores robbed
Police working to identify man who grabbed cash from clerks
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 9:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 9:06 p.m.
Fletcher police are investigating two convenience store robberies that occurred Friday night, according to a news release issued by Chief Erik Summey late Saturday.
The first robbery occurred a little after 9 p.m. Friday at the Mountain Energy Convenience Store on Airport Road.
The second happened at 1:36 a.m. Saturday at the Mountain Energy Truck Stop on U.S. Highway 25. During both incidents, the suspect stood at the counter as though he intended to pay for an item from the store. When the clerk opened the register to complete the transaction, the suspect reached over, grabbed money out of the register and fled, according to the release.
The suspect in both incidents is described as a white male approximately 30 years old, standing 5-foot-9 and weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing a white hat, white jacket, blue jeans and tennis shoes.
He is believed to have been driving a small, red four-door vehicle.
Officers have obtained surveillance video of one of the incidents and are reviewing it to determine whether it contains more information about the identity of the suspect.
No weapon was displayed during the two robberies, and no injuries were reported.
Anyone who may have information about these robberies is asked to call the Fletcher Police Department at 828-687-7922 or Henderson County Crime Stoppers at 828-697-STOP.

3.13-3 False Imprisonment
Revised to January 1, 2008
False imprisonment is the unlawful
restraint by one person of the physical liberty of another. Restraint means
the confinement of another person within boundaries fixed by the person
imposing the confinement. Any period of such restraint, however brief in
duration, is sufficient to constitute a basis for liability.
To prevail on a claim of false
imprisonment, the plaintiff must prove that (his/her) physical liberty has
been restrained by the defendant and that the restraint was against
(his/her) will, that is, that (he/she) did not consent to the restraint or
acquiesce in it willingly.
The plaintiff must additionally
prove that the defendant acted with the purpose of imposing a confinement or
with knowledge that such confinement would, to a substantial certainty,
result from it.
The plaintiff must finally prove
either that (he/she) was conscious of the confinement when it occurred or
that (he/she) was harmed by the confinement.
