Tribes get close look at Grand Coulee Dam
GRAND COULEE — Members of Indian tribes from the U.S. Northwest and Canada got a close look Monday at Grand Coulee Dam, one of the most challenging obstacles in their effort to restore runs of migrating fish to the upper Columbia River.
"If you can build a dam, you can build a way for fish to get around it. It's not impossible," said Michael Zimmer, a member of Canada's Okanagan Nation Alliance. He spoke from the floor of the dam's Third Powerhouse, which contains six turbine/generator units, including three of the largest units in the world, each capable of producing 805 megawatts of electricity.

Early October, I started a community discussion thread on the subject of people drafting in non-drafting races. I asked readers to chime in on what they see in races.
This week, in post 56, Jesse Hammond posted a link to a photograph of a guy using fins at Ironman Florida this year. The internet has been on fire with discussions about "Finman". (For those of you that are not familiar with the rules in triathlon, fins are definitely not allowed. Also, drafting during the bike segment is not allowed in any race for age groupers. Drafting is only allowed for professional, ITU racers.)
I've read a few posts from several of the discussion boards and was somewhat surprised that some people didn't care about Finman or drafters. They were apathetic. Their attitude was, "It didn't affect my personal race or my personal results. I'm not aiming for a spot on the podium. After all triathlon is an individual sport and it's all about me racing myself to see if I can better my own time. I don't care what other people do."
So, Team Apathy doesn't care that any rules or principles are broken as long as it doesn't affect them personally? I have a problem with that attitude - I don't like it.
It would be impossible to have order in sport if no one cared about rule enforcement until the lack of rule enforcement affected them personally.
In the case of incidental drafting, I know there are times when athletes are tired and not paying attention. They stay too long in the draft zone, they get caught drafting and they get a penalty. It was a mistake and will likely not happen again.
What about repeat offenders, blatant cheaters?
Wearing fins in the swim is pretty obvious cheating. I wish blatant drafters could be called out in a more obvious manner. They tarnish the sport. They are no better than Finman.
If it is too hard to enforce drafting rules, for whatever reason, then perhaps it's time for race directors and officials to just throw up their hands and simply allow drafting. For those that don't want to draft and want to test their individual mettle as a triathlete, they can simply choose not to draft. After all, what everyone else is doing really doesn't affect them, so draft away.
If Team Apathy members grow and dominate sport, what will happen?
Probably, no one will care.

You'll likely remember the famous white cliffs of Dover, but head west along England's southern coast and you'll find another spectacular stretch of cliffs in Dorset. Nicknamed the Jurassic Coast, the geological wonder was England's first UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site and remains one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in England.
Spanning 153km (95 mile) from Exmouth in East Devon to Old Harry Rocks at Dorset's Studland Bay, the cliffs of Dorset encompass the highest cliff of the south coast – the 191 meter (627 foot) Golden Cap – but it's not just the vistas that are awe-inspiring. The Jurassic Coast is a geological marvel, unveiling fossils that map out a mind-blowing 185 million years of history.
Even if you're not here to dig up dinosaurs or marvel the origins of the earth, Dorset's picturesque coastline makes the perfect backdrop to a British vacation. Sweeping coastal walks, windswept beaches and homely villages offer welcome respite from the bustle of the cities, with a number of great hikes and cycle routes in the region. The entire length of the coastline can be walked on the South West Coast Path, one of the country's most popular historical walks whisking hikers on a journey through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous eras and taking in a variety of unique landforms.
Planning a Trip? Check out Viator's England tours and England attractions, or book a private tour guide in England for a customized tour!
Highlights include the vast cliff faces of Triassic red sandstone; the sculpted clays of Lulworth Cove, where erosion has created a natural archway (known as the Durdle door) in the limestone cliff; the red Budleigh pebbles that make up the Budleigh Salterton beach; and the inter-tidal lagoons nestled along the 29km Chesil Beach. At the westernmost Orcombe point lies the Geoneedle, a 5-meter tall stone sculpture fashioned from sections of rock taken from each layer of the cliffs.
Of course, you don't have to hike the path to enjoy the cliffs. Great views can be had from a number of coastal areas including Studland Beach, Lulworth Cove, Weymouth and Lyme Regis, where you soak up the landscape from the beach or make the most of the choppy seas by windsurfing, sailing or kayaking along the Channel.

Are You Spending Too Much on Fashion?
There's no such thing as an "investment shoe."
Thanks to fast fashion retailers like Zara, H&M, and Mango, it's easy to look good without spending beyond your means. That's not to say there aren't times when it's totally worth dropping a little extra dough on fashion, but the old rules about where to splurge (classics) and where to save (trends) don't really apply in a world where a basic black pump from Nasty Gal looks and wears the same as one from a big-name designer, and even the most outrageous trends are constantly cycling in and out and back in again. With that in mind, here are some guidelines to help you figure out when dropping your hard-earned cash is actually worth it.
Save: Basic Blue Jeans
If you want your blue jeans to have a high-end designer look, the simpler and more minimal they are, the better. That means no excessive whiskering or fading, no high-contrast stitching, and no embellished back packets. Once you strip all that stuff away, all that's left is color and fit, and the fact is you can get pretty much the same color and fit from a $30 pair of UNIQLO jeans as you do from a $300 pair of designer jeans.
Splurge: Fancy Pants
If you are going to go for a printed, studded, crystalized, or embroidered denim look, you really should consider spending a little extra on it, because more often than not, cheap embellishments on denim just look cheap.
Blue Denim Jeans, UNIQLO, $30; Kaleidoscope Print Jeans, 7 FOR ALL MANKIND, $198
Save: Lingerie for Him
Most dudes would rather just see you naked and even if they do appreciate a little lingerie from time to time, 99% of them can't tell the difference between La Perla and Victoria's Secret anyway.
Splurge: The PerfectFit
A bra that lifts and supports you properly is invaluable, especially if you've got a larger chest. Yes, there are inexpensive bras out there that offer great support (Freya, Panache, Cacique), but every woman is different and it's worth expanding your search beyond the $30 department-store-staples to find the perfect bra for you.
Nude and Black Strappy Bra, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $58; Nude and Black Strappy Lace Thong, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $22; Blue Lace Bra, STELLA MCCARTNEY, $140; Blue Lace Panties, STELLA MCCARTNEY, $80
Save: Basic Black Leggings
Black leggings are black leggings are black leggings. Anyone who says different is just trying to sell you an overpriced pair of black leggings.
Splurge: Running Shoes
Proper ankle and arch support can be pricey, but it's a hell of a lot better than an injury.
Black Leggings, IDEOLOGY, $28; Blue Sneakers, NEW BALANCE, $175
Save: Formal Gowns
If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to repeat formal looks, save yourself a little money, and either rent your dresses or buy simple ones that you can transform from one occasion to the next with different accessories.
Splurge: LBDs
A little black dress is the most important item in your wardrobe and totally worth splurging on when you find one you love because you'll probably end up wearing it a lot. It doesn't even have to be black.
Gold Sequin Gown, BADGLEY MISCHKA, $70 for a 4-day rental at Rent The Runway; Black Short-Sleeve Dress With Sheer Dotted Top, THE KOOPLES, $325
Save: Interview Outfits
Don't go into debt before you even have a job. Buy cheap stuff and take it to a tailor to have it fitted. You just need to look clean, polished, and professional.
Splurge: Things You Can Also Wear on the Weekend
Versatility is always worth spending a little extra.
White Blouse With Butterfly Sleeves, H&M, $15; Navy Skirt, H&M, $30; Pink Jacket, CLUB MONACO, $269
Save: If You Walk a Lot
If you live in an urban area and have to do a lot of walking on hard pavement, your heels are going to wear out quickly whether you spend $80 on them or $500. And don't buy into that bullshit about a great pair of basic black pumps being "worth the investment." They're not. Shoe Cult, Victoria's Secret, Zara, and many others make "classic" heels that look and feel just as good as designer ones, but you can actually afford to replace them when they start to wear out.
Splurge: "Wow" Shoes
When a shoe is so stunning and ornately detailed that it's almost like a piece of wearable art, that's when you drop the big bucks. Everything else can be found on the cheap at Topshop, ASOS, or Nasty Gal.
Black Sandal, SHOE CULT, $78; Pink Lace-Up Butterfly Sandals, SOPHIA WEBSTER, $490
Save: Evening Bags
A lot of evening bags end up being very outfit-specific and you can almost always find great one for under $100.
Splurge: Everyday Bags
Most people have one or two bags that they carry pretty much every day. Anything you're using that much is worth spending a little extra on, even if it's not super classic.
Black Box Clutch, ZARA, $90; Nude and Black Bag, LOEFFLER RANDALL, $550
Save: Faux
Real leather wears in and gets better with age, but fake leather just wears out, and a lot faster than you might think, so it's not worth spending a lot of money on.
Splurge: Jackets
Not only can a good leather jacket improve almost any outfit, but the more you wear it, the better it will look. Unfortunately, even a relatively inexpensive genuine leather from Mango or Zara is still going to cost you at least a couple hundred bucks, but it's totally worth it if the fit and style are on point.
Black Faux Leather Skirt, YOUR EYES LIE, $76; Light Blue Leather Jacket, COACH, $898
Save: Narrow Belts
The kind of basic leather belts you wear with trousers at the office look almost exactly the same whether you spend $20 or $200. Just stick to simple, minimal hardware and no one will ever know the difference.
Splurge: Outfit-Making Waist Belts
A beautiful, high-quality belt is like a piece of jewelry and can transform even the most mundane outfit into something completely amazing.
Black Skinny Belt, UNIQLO, $6; Whit Perforated Belt, TORY BURCH, $175
Save: String Bikinis
When you think about it, it's a little crazy to drop big bucks on a couple fabric triangles held together by pieces of string. Maybe if the print is really amazing, but even then spending more than $100 seems unnecessary.
Splurge: Swimsuits that Don't Look Like Swimsuits
It's worth spending a little extra on a bikini that doubles as a crop top or a one-piece that also works as a bodysuit.
Pink Triangle Bikini Top, J.CREW, $44; Geo Print Tie Bikini Bottoms, J.CREW, $44; Pink Printed Bikini Top, TORI PRAVER, $110; Pink Printed Ruffle Bottoms, TORI PRAVER, $100

Are high gas prices preventable?
Gas prices affect everything …
Re: "Exploring nation's energy options — No need to panic: The higher gas goes, the more efficient cars, drivers become," by Froma Harrop, Monday Viewpoints.
Harrop may be delighted with the higher gas prices, but those of us who realize that it isn't just the gas prices that are rising definitely aren't. A 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gas. The rest is used to make over 6,000 products that we all use daily. The price of oil affects just about everything in our lives: telephones, movie film, heart valves, cameras, umbrellas, soft contact lenses, just to name a few.
Google "products made from oil" and educate yourself. Also, think about how the vast majority of goods are transported to market: by trucks. And, news flash: They use gas or diesel fuel.
President Barack Obama's policies regarding energy are exacerbating the problem and have been ever since he took office. So I am one of those Americans who is "grabbing their children and screaming for deliverance from the Oval Office," and somehow I don't think I'm alone!
… Increase not so simple
Lately, much has been made regarding high prices for gasoline in the pages of this very newspaper. Some blame President Barack Obama. I am afraid that simplistic viewpoint fails to address three critical points.
First, it has been widely reported that for the first time in 50 years, the United States is a net exporter of gasoline as our supply exceeds our demand. If all the "drill here, drill now" proponents are correct, then this excess supply should be driving our price through the floor.
Second, summer gas usage is normally only 3 percent higher than winter usage, but gas speculators have driven prices on the commodities markets up 22 percent for the year. It clearly is not demand that is driving a price spike such as this.
Last, the market uncertainty is being driven by the anticipation of several large refineries on the East Coast being scheduled for closure due to claims by the petroleum companies that they are unprofitable.
So it seems that we have more than ample supply and it is actually the greed of the commodities markets acting in concert with producers who, despite subsidies in the form of federal tax dollars and record profits, claim an inability to keep refineries open that is causing the problem. Either that or Obama is an all powerful boogeyman who can manipulate global fuel prices all by himself even though it threatens to derail his re-election.
Who's to blame for the higher gas prices?
What should we do about it? How should we cope? What policy should officials change?
Do you accept the Associated Press analysis that shows that gas prices and U.S. supply are unrelated?

Rascal Flatts Celebrates No. 1 Single, Platinum Album
The members of Rascal Flatts had double the reason to celebrate during a party at Nashville's Hard Rock Cafe yesterday. Prior to the party, which was originally slated to celebrate a No. 1 record, the trio's label president, Scott Borchetta, broke the news that the group's latest album, Nothing Like This, has gone platinum.
The album is the trio's first release with the Big Machine Label Group. "This day and age there are not a lot of people going out and buying records, so to sell a million in this environment is truly a blessing and mind-blowing. What a great day," said lead singer Gary Levox. The group's Jay DeMarcus added, "We had a lot of goals that we set for our business and one of those was trying to go platinum."
The party also centered on the success of Rascal Flatts' latest single, "I Won't Let Go," a song that Jay says is on par with their signature ballad, "Bless the Broken Road."
"The first time we heard ["I Won't Let Go"], we thought it was a home run. It's such a universal lyric that can mean so many things to different people," he said. "We're so happy for [songwriters] Jason Sellers and Steve Robinson. I think that song will be as timeless as 'Broken Road' has been in our career."
The trio, which has recently recorded a string of duets with artists such as Lionel Richie and Justin Bieber, also talked about another recent collaboration, their hit song "Easy," featuring pop singer Natasha Bedingfield. "We were pitched 'Easy' as a song but it wasn't a duet when it was first pitched to us. Somebody brought up the point that it would be a great duet," said Jay. "I think it was Gary that said it would be a good song for somebody to do a duet with. When we started looking for people to sing with and people we thought could hang with Gary and get in the studio and match his chops, the list got very short, but at the top of that list was Natasha. We were so happy to find out that she was familiar with who we were and had been a fan since she heard 'Broken Road.' She responded that she wanted to be involved. Those two got in the studio and were singing across from each other and it was really amazing to watch them work together. It inspired the band while we were in there watching it."
Sounds like another celebration could be just around the corner for this trio.
You can hear samples of all songs on this new album on our review of Nothing Like This.

Rangers gunning for series win
Imagine where the Angels would be right now if the team chasing them, the Texas Rangers, weren't in a freefall.
Well, Rangers manager Ron Washington admits winning two of three this weekend probably won't be good enough to get his team back in the race. But that's his goal anyway.
From the Angels perspective, the one thing they can't afford is to get swept this weekend. A sweep could put them just 2 1/2 games up with the Yankees in town.
A six-game lead at this point of the season would be a tap-in, but for the fact the teams play seven more times. So, it's a 2-footer.

text: Dragon Jobs and On-Campus Recruiting What is On-Campus Recruiting? On-campus recruiting is when employers come to campus to conduct interviews for full-time positions targeting students graduating in June. The on-campus interviews take place in October and March so you should create your Dragon jobs profile and apply to positions within Dragon Jobs for these interviews. How to Begin The Campus Recruiting Process and Drexel Dragon Jobs are fully explained during the Steinbright Senior Series. All students in their final year should attend the Steinbright Senior Series. You can review job opportunities, submit resumes, and schedule interviews through Drexel Dragon Jobs. This is a very time-sensitive process and all relevant deadline dates are available on the graduating-students. Create an Account in Drexel Dragon Jobs Job postings are available on SCDConline through Drexel Dragon Jobs. We encourage students to have their Dragon Jobs profile and resume reviewed by the Steinbright career services team. On average. there are over 500 openings listed for Drexel students. These positions are: Diverse and represent the hiring needs of employers Added daily and updated regularly Best reviewed with a search agent customized to relevant majors Interviews Interviews for full-time permanent positions following graduation held on-campus take place during two formal recruiting periods in the fall and winter. Students should participate in our on-campus recruiting process beginning in the fall term of senior year. Employers may also choose to interview students at their location, both on-campus interviews and off campus interviews jobs are posted in Drexel Dragon Jobs. How the On-Campus Recruiting Interview Process Works Fall job postings are available for review beginning the first day of the fall term – the online application process for on-campus interviews remains open until early October (application deadlines are in early October); our normal on-campus interviews take place in mid to late October. Certain accounting firms will be interviewing in mid-October. Companies not interviewing on-campus may keep their jobs posted as long as necessary and the application deadline fluctuate. You must log in to Drexel Dragon Jobs; and upload a resume to participate in our on-campus recruiting programs. Students selected to interview as part of the on-campus recruiting program will be notified via email that they were selected to interview. Interviews will be scheduled through the Dragon Jobs system. NOTE: Some interviews take place off campus or are arranged directly by employers who will call or email selected candidates to schedule your interview. Check email and phone messages regularly in October to not miss an opportunity!

Welcome to WACS Speech Therapy Services
Hi there!
At WACS I provide speech and language therapy to students demonstrating deficits in the areas of articulation, receptive/expressive language, pragmatic language, auditory processing disorders, hearing impairments as well as other disorders/delays. Students can be referred by parents or teachers for a speech & language screening to determine if they are eligible for therapy services.
Most students are seen once or twice a week with sessions typically lasting for 30 minutes. The therapy program at Westfield encourages a team approach; it includes the student, parents, teachers and support staff - all working to help in the area of that students' need. Once the student demonstrates proficiency in the area that he/she is being seen for, they will be dismissed from this service!

Cora Sue Anthony, HGTV star and professional home stager, offers five tips for preparing a home for sale, and general decorating ideas:
1. "People often make mistake of hanging art too high. Rule of thumb, the center of the piece should be about five feet from the floor."
2. "For bookshelves, put something different on every shelf. Lay some books flat, put a vase on top of others. Break up the look."
3. "Get all the personal items put away, photos, kitschy items. You want people to think it's their house, not yours."
4. "Get knives out of the kitchen. Get meds out of the bathroom cabinet. Take out everything that's valuable to you. Sometimes it's just a little kid who picks something up, so don't put out accessories that are any smaller than you hand."
5 "People always paint walls white. But warm neutrals are best. You want people to feel like they're walking into a hug."

Ranbir and Katrina appear on Bigg Boss
Elaborating more on their presence, our source adds, "Ranbir and Kat also held the press meet where they interacted with media and openly talked about their film as well as their friendship too." "For the first time they were seen answering the question without any hesitation. Also the inmates of the house were excited to see the duo and had a gala time with them.
The best moment was when these two were interacting with Mr Bachchan. All together it was a fun to see them and know their ajab gajab chit chat on their up coming flick," concludes the source. So get ready to watch the duo as they laugh and enjoy coming this weekend on Colors.

A.A.S. Degree in Architectural Technology
"In 1989, Orange County Community College provided
an undecided student with a solid foundation in
architecture that has taken me on an exciting journey
of travel and business. I was accepted by the Pratt
Institute and became president and director of an
architectural subsidiary of a global petroleum company.
I now own my own business and hire the best qualified
employees—those who have graduated the
Architectural Technology program at SUNY Orange."
-- Joseph J. Minuta
|SUNY Orange Architecture Instagram Feed:
Program Description
If you like figuring out how pieces and parts go together, or spending time thinking about how rooms and spaces can be arranged, a career in architectural technology may be for you. Architecture is everywhere and we spend the majority of our time living and working in buildings, or driving from building to building. As the entire Hudson Valley region continues to grow, opportunities are favorable for careers in building-related fields.
Architectural Technology graduates make careers, most often as CAD operators, in many different building related fields: architectural firms, engineering firms, building product manufacturers, governmental agencies, general contracting firms, institutional facilities, consultant firms, and kitchen and bath consultants.
Top 5 reasons you should study Architectural Technology at SUNY Orange
- Students form close working relationships with each other and instructors in a close-knit professional environment.
- Graduates enter the workforce as versatile and well-trained employees.
- Transfer opportunities exist for those graduates who wish to pursue a bachelor's degree.
- The Architecture Club provides an opportunity for students to travel and visit well-known architectural sites and build upon the camaraderie formed in the classroom.
- Students will leave the program with a digital portfolio of their work.

Hydroelectric past not indicative of future
Over the past five years, the number of firms in the hydroelectric power plant construction industry is has fallen at an average annual rate of 5.8 percent. That number will drop even further in the coming five years, according to researchers IBISWorld.
A continued decline in demand, increased awareness of environmental impact, drought conditions, competition from other energy sources such as fossil fuels, wind and solar, have all hampered the success of hydroelectric power growth over the last five years.
However, IBISWorld is predicting that an increase in electricity demand and a continued shift away from fossil fuel-based and nuclear power will promote hydroelectric growth through 2017.
While the next five years is expected to see industry revenue increase due to demand, industry consolidation and high operating costs associated with environmental compliance are predicted to force the number of companies in the space down during the same timeframe.
Part of the increasing demand for hydroelectric power will come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which already generates nearly 24 percent of industry revenue, operates 75 power plants, and produces 25 percent of the nation's hydroelectric power.

Kerry Kotwasinski's life in Germany is no secret — he appears in Facebook photos wearing traditional lederhosen and raising a stein. But his time abroad was apparently news to the Town of Cicero. The town paid Kotwasinski about $12,000 over 19 months to go to monthly meetings of its Housing and Real Estate Board as a board member. But he never showed up to a single meeting.

Please Login to use shopping lists.
Product Description
At 23:40 on April 14, 1912 in the North Atlantic, the R.M.S. Titanic strikes an iceberg. Water immediately floods into the liner's compartments and the ship is listing to starboard in a worrying way. There is no hope about the outcome. On board, there is widespread panic.
Alone, or co-operating with other crew members, you must show presence of mind and do the right thing to save as many passengers as possible. Time is short...
The card game SOS Titanic uses a mechanism similar to Patience, with the cards representing passengers who must be arranged on the decks, then placed in the lifeboats in a particular order. As one of the crew members, you and your teammates need to move and arrange these passengers as quickly as you can. Each section of the Titanic holds a pile of cards of which only the first is available.
On his turn, a player draws a few cards from the main deck and tries to move passengers out of the sinking ship onto the lifeboats. Failing to move at least one passenger or needing to reshuffle the main deck might cause one section of the ship to sink, thus reducing the number of piles available as well as the hopes of those still on board. Players can also use action cards to step in at fateful times when things otherwise seem lost. The game ends when the ship has sunk completely or when all remaining passengers have been saved.

Writer Richard Argo
Ode to Rock and Roll
On a cool morning I helped my friend Bob collect rocks for his garden. We drove his pick-up to a rain-rutted road off the highway and rode a quarter mile, sheer wall on one side, sheer drop on the other, to the top of a mountain.
First we huffed and hefted, stumbled and cursed the two-man rocks. Then we hugged the one-man rocks to our chests like teddy bears. Finally, we filled the gaps with one-hand rocks until the bed sagged as if the truck would tip up on its tailgate.
No room to turn around, Bob, eyes flitting side-mirror to side-mirror, backed the truck down that rutted road. The radio blared rock-and-roll, blared the Rolling Stones. Oh, children. It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away.
I knew what the song said. The precipice is a kiss away. Death is a kiss away. It's always just a kiss away. In the seat, eyes closed, dust and sweat coated my arms and chest, seatbelt flapped against my shoulder, I smiled. Oh, children. I was not afraid.
--Richard Argo
