THE RECENT REMOVAL of bulky canopies outside businesses on 52nd Street south of Market was one of many things neighbors and business owners celebrated Monday, as the city seeks to once again make that struggling slice of West Philly an attractive place to do business.
"All of a sudden, everybody's happy. The momentum has picked up, store owners feel positive again. It's starting to reflect in the cash register," said Art Williams, owner of Art of Beauty, a salon on 52nd Street near Sansom. "At the end of the day, that's what we want."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The hypothetical was laid out to Ruben Amaro Jr. 1 month ago, when the free-agent signing period was just under way and the Phillies' general manager and his brethren across the league were in Palm Springs, Calif., for a conference that was a veritable retreat when compared to the zaniness that has unfolded at Major League Baseball's annual winter meetings at the Opryland Hotel.
Say the free-agent market unfolds in a manner that hampers the Phillies' efforts to fill one of their positions of need, namely the outfield or third base. And say Amaro realizes that he can address one of those positions by trading away a valuable asset who is on the team's active roster. If the valuable asset plays a position that can be addressed via free agency more easily than one of the Phillies' current positions of need, would it make sense to trade that valuable asset for the position of need, and then use their available dollars to fill the new void?

Focusing on next years state budget, the S.C. House of Representatives Ways & Means Committee blocked an earlier proviso ban on credit card fees 84 to 31.
But a new proviso concerning processing fees, if passed, could mean more paperwork for local governments and changes to the tax bill explaining credit card processing fees and mandatory tax payments. The bill would ensure that local governments do not charge an excess of processing fee costs incurred by that government for the transaction.
The issue got started after a resident living in the Low Country complained they were being charged various processing fees by their local government, according to S.C. Rep. William Bill Clyburn, D-Aiken. Clyburn is also a member of the Ways & Means Committee.
What we have are local governments, and when residents pay taxes by credit card, theres an interest that local governments are charging, Clyburn said. Some of the interest that some, not all, local governments are charging are higher. Theres a belief that there shouldnt be any interest, as long as they get the fee.
When Aiken County residents use a credit or debit card to pay their taxes currently, the County charges a convenience fee of 2.5 percent on any payments made alone. The fee is calculated and shown on the computer screen before the taxpayer agrees to finalize the payment.
In the County, roughly 120,000 property tax payments are made a year, and on average, roughly 10,000 to 12,000 car payments are made per month. About 12 percent of people pay with credit or debit cards.
But that number could rise, according to County Administrator Clay Killian.
The way of the world now is using credit and debit more than checks and cash, Killian said. People use them now because you can get travel or reward points.
If the original ban had stood, Jason Goings, County Treasurer, said there would be a lot of issues because the County may have been forced to look at other ways to bring in revenue.
Youd have to do something to offset it, but its off the table right now anyway, Goings said. The only purpose behind the fee is to cover costs only, not to make money. The intent of this practice is so counties and municipalities do not intentionally make any money off of this.
Clyburn said he still has mixed emotions on the subject.
Thats why Im still open to discussion, and I will come down on the side of the local government not losing profit, Clyburn said. Because that would mean they would have to look at other issues like expenses.
Maayan Schechter is the local government reporter with Aiken Standard.

The Content and Context of Hate Speechby Michael Herz Peter Molnar
The contributors to this volume consider whether it is possible to establish carefully tailored hate speech policies that are cognizant of the varying traditions, histories, and values of different countries. Throughout, there is a strong comparative emphasis, with examples (and authors) drawn from around the world. All the authors explore whether or when different cultural and historical settings justify different substantive rules given that such cultural relativism can be used to justify content-based restrictions and so endanger freedom of expression. Essays address the following questions, among others: Is hate speech in fact so dangerous or harmful to vulnerable minorities or communities as to justify a lower standard of constitutional protection? What harms and benefits accrue from laws that criminalize hate speech in particular contexts? Are there circumstances in which everyone would agree that hate speech should be criminally punished? What lessons can be learned from international case law?
Patch-Clamp Methods and Protocolsby Peter Molnar James J. Hickman
Patch Clamp Methods and Protocols surveys the typical patch clamp applications and advises scientists on identifying problems and selecting the best technique in each instance. The experiments described aid the researcher in pursuing new areas of electrophysiology and using the patch clamp technique effectively. The volume includes an extensive theoretical treatise concerning single channel kinetic analysis.

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post

The 2011 NFL draft ended on Saturday, just days after the lockout was seemingly over as well. With the lockout back on it may be a moot point to discuss the draft's impact for the upcoming season, but teams have new players and that's worth talking about.
I tend to grade teams based on the value of their draft picks over needs, particularly bad teams with a lot of holes and a dearth of talent. Good teams get graded a little more based on need, but they can get away with great value picks and focus on filling whatever major needs they may have in free agency as well. The draft is about getting the best players and five years from now, that's all that will matter.

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon - but has not - in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.
Thomas's brother, Ray, takes care of him, cooking for him, dealing with the outside world on his behalf, and listening to his intricate and increasingly paranoid theories. When Thomas tells Ray what he has seen, Ray humors him with a half-hearted investigation. But Ray soon realizes he and his brother have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy. And now they are in the crosshairs.

"One of 2013's best!"
"Rear Window" meets "Rain Man" in this longish thriller from Linwood Barclay, a writer you'd never mistake for a Canadian humorist, which is how Barclay earned his living before taking to penning suspense fiction. Even though it's a long book, I hated for it to end -- there were plot twists up to the very last page. Some I saw coming, most I didn't, but whatever, this is one of those books where there's simply no place to stop listening -- plus you know, as you get to the final hours, that whatever you decide to listen to next won't be half as good.
The plot is too complex to do a decent summary, but it all starts when Thomas Kilbride, a schizophrenic savant (I made that up -- is there such a thing?) who is "simple" in many ways -- a can opener confounds him, while he regularly holds meaningful conversations with Bill Clinton and assorted CIA operatives -- but who has an incredible ability to memorize details of maps, and of what he sees when he roams the world, all via a computer program comparable to Google Street. Without leaving his room, Thomas' goal is to memorize the entire world, and he's well on his way, every street detail of "most" major cities in his head, when he sees something odd in a window while computer-cruising a New York neighborhood. Is that a head in that window up there? With a plastic bag over it? Why would somebody be in the window with a plastic bag over their head?
Thomas convinces his brother Ray, a magazine illustrator who came home following their father's death, to go to New York to check it out. Sometimes, Ray thinks, it's just easier to do what Thomas wants, because when Thomas gets obsessed about something, he never gives up. Never.
What Ray finds out in his visit opens the door to the whole complex story, managed so awfully well by Barclay, as he moves from one story line to another, leaving you hanging at just the right moment each time. Turn the iPod off now? You've got to be kidding.... Not until you find out what happened....
All the way through, it's an excruciating cliff hanger. I have not one word of criticism, not a single suggestion for anything that would have made it better -- except that I wish it had never ended.
Well, okay, the narration is a little odd. Why two narrators? This story didn't call for it any more than any other book. It was fine -- just odd. I have to admit that not until I finished the book did I go back to see which narrator was reading which part. The dueling narrators thing doesn't detract from the book, but it doesn't add anything to it either. Go figure.
Whatever, don't miss this one. Just plan on not being able to quit listening once you start.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Trust Your Eyes is a great book -- trust me!"
STORY (mystery) - I really loved this book. Thomas, a schizophrenic who spends his time memorizing maps on an ap called World360, thinks he sees the frozen image of a woman being suffocated in the window of a New York hi-rise. He and his brother, Ray, investigate. There's so much that happens in this story and so many unexpected surprises that I can't possibly give it justice in this review. Aside from the image of the woman with the plastic bag over her head, there are a couple other mysteries which are equally exciting as they unravel. The plot is complicated but not hard to follow, so you don't have to wear a thinking cap to enjoy it. Also, the author manages to inject a bit of humor occasionally. Great stuff!
PERFORMANCE - Good job, but I reserve five stars for stellar multi-voice performances. This reader does a great old woman's voice.
OVERALL - Highly recommended for all mature listeners. There's some profanity and references to sexual acts and lesbianism, though there are no actual sex "scenes" in the book. There is also occasional violence.
I dont read books twice. But this book was one of the most engrossing and twisted books I have read in a while. It was absolutely fantastic. The characters were unique and intriguing. You say to yourself, how the heck is Linwood going to pull his natural and twists that he does in every book, but somehow he does it. Even the very last sentence will blow your mind.
The last sentence.
No, but the guy that does Ray's voice is fantastic, the other guy is just decent.
Laugh, think about it, enjoy it, loved it.
Don't even waste time reading reviews, just start the book, give it a bit, and you will be COMPLETELY engrossed.
"Kept Me Reading"
I have an autistic sibling and thought the portrayal of the handicapped brother was right on - in terms of the lack of socilazing skills - I know they said he was schizo but he was so like Asberger's people. That said - I've read other Barclay books and he does have a way to hook you! The story told by multiple view points and at different times, made for a good listen!
"The latest Linwood Barclay does not disappoint."
Ray Kilbride faces a challenge. He has a full-blown flourishing career as an illustrated writer particularly of political cartoons. But his dad suddenly dies as a result of an accident where the lawn mower tractor tips over while he is mowing the lawn. Ray is forced to come home to rural New York to deal with clearing up his father's effects, deciding what to do with the house, and, most of all, trying to figure out what he can do about his brother, Thomas, who is schizophrenic and lives totally in his bedroom on his computer. He seems unable to do anything to care for himself. But Ray is determined that he will find some way for Thomas to live which doesn't involve Ray's living with him and taking care of him. Then Thomas becomes obsessed with a new computer program, which allows him to zero in on individual streets and residences in cities. He believes that it is his duty to learn all the streets of all the big cities in the world because he is convinced that at some point, electronic maps will be totally lost and we won't have paper maps anymore. So it will be up to Thomas, with his prodigious memory to help people figure out where to go throughout the world. He believes he is in contact with the CIA and that former President Clinton is his liaison to the CIA. This finally gets him and brother Ray into a world of trouble when Thomas, viewing a street in New York City, becomes convinced that he is seeing a murder through a third story window. At first no one will believe him, but then Ray attempts to help him figure out what is going on, and the brothers are in the crosshairs of some very dangerous people. This is an excellent book, an audio page turner I couldn't turn off from start to finish.
"Character driven with plot twists"
I couldn't stop listening, and I was engaged trying to figure out just where this was going. I have to admit that with this novel and The Accident, I had a hard time getting into the first hour, but once I'd stepped into the story, I was trapped in Barclay's world. The main character does not do the expected, and the second main character Thomas is totally different from any other character I've seen. Thomas hears voices and is unreliable; at the same time he is emotionally childlike and pure, so he relates plot events that are totally reliable. The main character tries hard not to get frustrated with Thomas, and as a result pursues situations and bad guys that no sane person would. Of course he doesn't realize the troubles that will ensue. The action is riveting. The bad guys are maybe a little extreme, but the contrast between good and evil here makes for great fun. The use of 2 readers makes listening easier, and the narration is wonderful.
"Pretty enjoyable"
Good story. Good plotline. More then anything, I liked hearing about the relationship between Ray and his brother. An entire book just on the two of them fitting into life after the dads death (not a spoiler) would have been a good read. How about a follow up book?
The narration of Ray and his brother was pretty good, but I thought the other narrator was weak and not very expressive.
"The Family That Yawns Together, Deletes Together.."
I have always enjoyed Barclay's books, and was anxiously awaiting the publication of this one.I admit that I immediately downloaded it and started listening to it, the moment it was available here on Audible. Well, after hearing the narrator announce that I had made it to chapter 12, and I was still finding, "Trust Your Eyes," to be slow, uninteresting and peopled with only one character I liked, that being the briefly appearing psychiatrist, I asked my husband what he thought. He said he thought I would never ask, judging it to be tedious. So I did the thing I do rarely, I deleted it.
"The Accident," had been so fast moving, so engaging, from the very beginning, this one was, for me, a major disappointment. Should I have finished it, prior to reviewing it? Maybe, but I think by chapter 12, I should be interested in what is happening, or at least wondering about what will be happening...but I was not. I don't like writing negative reviews, and usually just write about the books I love, but I had read the reviews on Amazon, and almost everyone seemed to think this book was the best Barclay book they had ever read, which confounded me. Perhaps Audible listeners will feel the same, and it will wind up with a wondrous rating, but not from me. There are far too many books out there that do engage me from the very beginning, and whose narrators add to the enjoyment of the listening experience, and i did not find that the two narrators of "Trust Your Eyes," added any enjoyment or excitement. Okay, maybe it all started revving up in chapter 12; maybe the crazy brother and his older brother, who is trying to deal with the map and Internet obsessed brother, stop their repetitive conversations and begin to be relentlessly chased at a mind boggling pace and I would have been unable to tear myself away to feed my face...although I don't think I would have cared. (BTW, the schizo brother believes he has an ongoing relationship with the government, via Bill Clinton...so he sort of lost me, right there.) Maybe the bad girl waitress, looking to lie money out of her mom or blackmail money out of a rich lover with political aspirations will wind up to be the possible victim of foul play we first hear of at the very beginning of the book, but I definitely have next to no empathy for her; she is far too much like people I have been hit up by. I usually appreciate Barclay's victims often being people who are less than lily white, but in this instance, I was not intrigued...I was just bored by it all. I must be getting jaded in my old age, but this sure did not do it for me, and I am not investing any more time in it; there are far too many books out there that will keep me interested and anxiously listening, nonstop, to the very end, to spend one more moment on "Trust Your Eyes,"
"expect the unexpected"
This author has a unique ability to involve readers with his characters. They are people you could know, or work with. They could live next door. He writes about normal everyday people doing what everyone does, and then something unusual happens to one of them. Something unexpected. This is such a story.
Imagine memorizing every street location in the world, along with every apartment building, toy shop, restaurant, beauty shop, and any other structure on each street. That is the goal of one of our characters. Thomas keeps himself glued to his computer almost 24 hours a day cruising a website called Whirl360 which gives him access to the world. It's all he has done for years. He's not great at coping with the real world, and this has been his life. ---until his father dies in an accident and his brother, Ray, comes to stay with him.
One day Thomas sees a supposed murder taking place in an apartment window. He tells his brother and the story is off and running. They start to investigate to see if it really was a murder--never knowing what horrible chain of events will follow.
Once you start listening --it will be hard to find a place to stop. We care about what happens to these people, and the suspense is building. A shocker at the end.
This was my first book by Linwood Barclay- and I was happy I tried it.
"google maps meets Rain Man"
Thomas is a mentally disturbed person diagnosed with a strange type of schizophrenia. He stays glued to three computer screens in his room, "traveling" all over the world memorizing streets and places using a Web site on the computer. Thomas can come off as being really annoying, but that's just a part of that type of illness and the brilliance with which Barclay has conveyed. Thomas sees in an apartment window on a street in NY while he is scanning the area using a Web sit, What Thomas sees disturbing, very disturbing. Thomas insists he witnessed a homicide over the web
Thomas's brother Ray has come to stay with him to help get things in order after the alleged accidental death of their father. a task that he is sorely prepared to undertake. The job is further complicated by the fact that Thomas insists that he is employed by the CIA and listening to his intricate and increasingly paranoid theories. Ray soon realizes he and his brother have stumbled onto a deadly conspiracy. hey both soon learn that getting involved was huge mistake and now their lives are at stake.

Maybe after the Suter/Parise signings, he's downplaying it to try and keep yet another free agent signing from turning into an episode of the bachelor.
I honestly don't know, but it is discouraging to see him say that in the media.
Semin would be a great winger for Datsyuk, take off some pressure of our secondary guys, and possibly redefine himself in a Wings uniform. Holland needs to spend some of this cap space one day or another.
That is a serious concern, but I can't help but think that if he wanted to bolt to the KHL, he'd be there already. I mean, it's no secret that he's not going to get paid as much here as he would there, so what's stopping him you know?
But there could be the fear that he'll play for a year under contract, and if he doesn't like it then he bolts to the KHL where he doesn't have to work as hard, and the Wings (or whoever signed him) lose him for nothing.

This Sunday, WWE presents Money in the Bank for a third consecutive July.
In the past two years, this event has helped launch the careers of superstars like The Miz and Daniel Bryan.
Aside from that is the very successful history of the wild match that was once only held at WrestleMania and now has its own pay-per-view event.
Every man who has ever gone to cash in his briefcase has been successful, a fact that is certainly fresh in the minds of all 12 men who will compete in the two big ladder matches.
To add to that, the WWE and World Heavyweight titles are both on the line.
The WWE has an intriguing event lined up.

Iowa CITY, Iowa - Most of us know the story of James Vandenberg killing a bear. Next Challenge: Getting the Hawkeyes above .500 in the league for the seventh time in 14 seasons under head coach Kirk Ferentz.
Iowa has risen above .500 in the Big Ten twice in the last six seasons. By contrast, Wisconsin has done it five times in that span.
Iowa fans want the bullies of the Big Ten back.
Vandenberg posted strong statistics and enjoyed some big moments as a first-year starter in '11. Consistency was not a strength, which at least partially included his play on the road.
In the regular-season finale at Nebraska, the senior from Keokuk completed 16 for 35 passes for 182 yards and an interception in a 20-7 loss. The Hawkeyes only points came with 3:26 remaining in the fourth quarter.
You get cut some slack after losing in Lincoln. That pardon is not given when you come up short in Minneapolis.
Vandenberg connected on 16 of 24 throws for 177 yards and a touchdown at Minnesota last fall. He also was sacked three times in a 22-21 loss at the then 1-6 (0-3 Big Ten) Golden Gophers.
An early-September Iowa win at Iowa State last season could have given Vandenberg the confidence he needed going forward in '11. Instead, a painful overtime loss in Ames may have planted a seed of doubt in the confident Iowa signal caller. We'll never know.
OK. It's time to let up on Vandenberg. He's coming off an impressive first year as a starter, especially historically.
Vandenberg completed 237 of 404 passes for 3,022 yards and 25 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. He became only the third quarterback in Iowa annals to exceed 3,000 yards passing in a campaign. The other two were named Chuck (and I assume they still are). His 25 scoring passes ranked third on a school's all-time list.
College football teams like to say they make the most progress during a season between Weeks 1 and 2. It might also be said that quarterbacks make their most improvement as a collegian between Year 1 and 2 as a starter.
Vandenberg can "make all of the throws" a football cliche meaning that he can get the ball to any receiver anywhere on the field. You can't teach that and it's valuable.
Vandenberg needs to get a tick better at accuracy and touch, but most of all it's a feel in the pocket. He will be rushed. He will be blitzed - A Lot - until proving he can handle it.
Iowa leaned on Vandenberg a lot last season and that likely will increase in '12. It's a somewhat inexperienced offense otherwise.
Jake Rudock enters his redshirt freshman season as the No. 2. The Florida product is the lead candidate to take the reigns from Vandenberg.
Junior college transfer Cody Sokol has a redshirt year remaining and likely will use that up in the fall. In the disaster that would be losing Vandenberg and Rudock, you'd likely see John Wienke. But, at that point, it won't matter.

First of all, I want Demon Detective Nougami Neuro and Muhyo and Roji's Burea of Superatural Investigation animated. They are long running Jump series that have both surpassed 10 volumes. Honestly! It's about damn time for an anime for these two series. Why haven't they been animated?
I also want an anime for MPD Psycho, although that would probably be way too gruesome for television. Well, there was a Mini-series.
I also wouldn't mind it if they animated the rest of Bobobo including the new manga.

I just finished reading Ultra Red, a 4-volume martial-arts/fighting manga with the same vibes (even plotlines) as Baki the Grappler. The fight scenes there should be well worth animating, as they are as impressive as they are brutal! (The main character's fighting style is called haikkaiken, (or something like that) which focuses on dislocating joints and breaking bones.)
This should be perfect for a 13-episode series, or if they extend the storyline (the ending says it all, "it is only the beginning!"), possibly 26 episodes!

If ever in the future Natsu no Arashi and the old StreetFighter Manga Ryu Final that will be translated by UDON publishing so we can get to see the ENDING to StreetFighter Anime series Finally. 'Cause almost all animated streetfighter movies and OVA's cut us short and leaves us with teasers and more questions...

I'd love to see Hibiki's Magic as an anime, but I doubt it will, and only has like one volume. Maybe a movie. It'd be cute.^^
The rest of Fruits Basket, but maybe not.
My sister would like to see Pixie Pop as an anime.(I can't remember how to spell the Japanese title.) Even though that is only three volumes..
She'd also like to see Magical x Miracle as an anime, but I told her I doubted it.

i would love to see BLAME! made into a series since the dvd was short and made no sense and the manga is really good. Also I don't know if much people heard of Eden Its an Endless World, but yea that manga should be made into an epic movies or something... and possibly Kamikaze just to see how that would turn out.

Mirai Nikki, it's a new manga, but it would be a great series to be adapted into anime.
Here's a synops:
High school 2nd year Amano Yukiteru is a boy who has problem making friends. He thinks of himself as a bystander and will always write down everything he sees in a cell phone diary. Tormented by solitude, Yukiteru began to imagine things like a friend called Deus X Makina who is apparently the Lord of Time & Space. Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary will now record events that will happen in the near future. Yukiteru is then forced to participate in a game which the winner will become Deus's successor.
It almost has a Higurashi feel, b/c the girls in it look so cute & innocent... at first.

Chris Bennett is a superstitious young man.
The Franklin & Marshall College freshman placekicker has an unique routine he goes through at football games.
"I always wear the same socks and Under Armour gear for every game," he said. "I stay far away, and off to myself to focus before an extra point try or field goal. After the kick, I then go to the sideline, take off my helmet and get a drink of water."
Whatever works.
Bennett earned the kicking duties for the Diplomats during summer camp when he outdueled fellow freshman Chris DeStefano. He rose the challenge by working hard and remaining focused throughout camp.
"I had to show the coaches that I could kick ... I went out and earned the spot by giving 100 percent," Bennett said. "It's all about team goals now because I want to help the team any way possible."
Bennett, a Hershey High School graduate, received a walk-on invitation at Eastern Michigan, a scholarship offer from West Virginia Wesleyan and interest from F&M, Johns Hopkins and Ursinus. He picked the Diplomats for a variety of reasons.
"F&M has good facilities, good academics and a solid football program," Bennett said.
"I like to win so the selection process wasn't hard. Coach [John] Troxell was another reason why I came here. He is a great coach, a straight-up guy who is a great leader. He can lay down the law, or joke and kid around with you. All of the players have a good relationship with the coaching staff, and we're a close-knit team."
At Hershey, Bennett set a career record for scoring by a kicker with 123 points and connected on a career-long 42-yard field goal. As a senior hit 29-of-31 PATs and 8-of-12 field goals, and was named all-conference honorable mention.
"Coming in [to F&M], the seniors were friendly to me and the other freshmen," Bennett said. "They made me feel really comfortable."
Bennett, who made a quick transition from high school to college, didn't waste any time making his presence felt as he booted a 28-yard field goal and added four extra point kicks when F&M drubbed Washington & Lee 35-7 in the season opener a couple of weeks ago.
"It was unreal," he said. "I really didn't think about hitting my first collegiate field goal until I came back to the sideline. It was a such a good feeling."
Of course, like a golfer, there are always the good and bad days. For a freshman, there is the problem with consistency that only gets better with growth and maturity. The coaching staff, however, is confident that Bennett will be good kicker for them for the next four years.
"We think he [Bennett] is going to be a good kicker," F&M coach John Troxell said. "Like any young player he has to work on his consistency, but he works hard. It came down to him and another freshman in summer camp. We chartered his kicks and he was very accurate. He's a good kid and has a bright future."
Bennett feels right at home as he continues to work on being the best kicker he can be for the Diplomats. He also works hard in the classroom as an honor roll psychology major.
F&M, which went 9-2 last year (including a 29-24 victory over Wilkes in the ECAC South Atlantic Championship game), is currently 1-1 (0-1 in the CC) after dropping a hard-fought 10-7 decision to Ursinus last week.
"I have realistic goals regarding my career," Bennett said. "I want to be 80 percent on all field goals and extra points, and I want to be an all-conference kicker."

Nova Scotia

Dated Fri Apr 23 22:18:51 1999
Growth of the area has been controlled by coal mining and the steel industry; fishing and forestry provide secondary employment. During World War II, Sydney Harbour was critically important for the formation of North Atlantic shipping convoys. The harbour facilities presently include the main shipping link to the Island of Newfoundland, loading facilities for coal and steel, as well as docking for cruise ships.
The Sydney Coalfield is the oldest mined coalfield in North America, with mining commencing in the early 1700's. Systematic mining began in 1825 with the mid 1940's being the period of greatest production. By the 1960's only half of the original mines remained in operation. During the 1980's, the province ranked fourth in Canadian coal production, the bulk of which was produced from four mines in this coalfield.
The major towns formed along the shore, associated with the surface facilities of the subsea coal mines. Sydney was founded in 1785 along the shores of the largest harbour; later to be the center of an integrated steel plant - coke oven complex commencing in 1900.

The east coast of Canada is situated where practically all cyclonic storms of North America leave the continent. This, coupled with the moderating effect of the Atlantic Ocean, gives the area a humid continental climate.
The annual precipitation of 1,480 mm has a good seasonal distribution with maximum precipitation occurring during the fall rains. The Atlantic Hurricane season impacts the region primarily during September to November. Occasionally, the area suffers a direct hit, the latest being by Hurricane Hortense in 1996. Approximately 27% originates as snow. Although intensities are high, the reliability of snow cover is low due to the moderating effect of the ocean.
The mean annual air temperature is 5.5 C with maximum monthly values in July and August; minimum values are below freezing peaking in February -6.5 C. The advent of warmer temperatures is delayed in spring due to pack ice, creating some 80 days of fog/year, with maximums in May, June, and July.
A water balance diagram is provided in Figure 2. There is a large average annual water surplus of approximately 290 mm, occurring predominately in the fall.
Due to the prevailing winds the province lies within the airshed of many densely populated, highly industrial areas on the eastern US seaboard and the central part of the continent. Further there have been up to five major, local, anthropogenic emission sources within the coalfield. The pH of the rainfall varies from 4.5-5.5. Concentration and loading of H+ is greater in the winter.
There are two "long term" climatic trends in evidence. The decadal means of total annual precipitation have increased over 250 mm between the mid 1950's and the late 1980's; since then declines are in evidence. Simultaneously decadal means of mean annual air temperature declined over 1 C .

The coalfield lies within the Northeastern Appalachian Hydrogeologic Region of North America. It is positioned in a coastal plain setting, best characterized as thin glacial till over bedded sedimentary rock.
The sedimentary rock assemblage comprises a 4000 m thick upward trending sequence of conglomerates, carbonates/evaporites, argillaceous sediments, massive sandstones and a thick coal bearing sequence. The assemblage dips gently northeast under the ocean and has been deformed by a number of gentle northeast trending folds.
The principal hydrostratigraphic unit is the Lower Morien Aquifer comprising the 1,000 m thick massive sandstones (Figure 3) . A secondary aquifer is the Upper Morien Aquifer, comprising the coal bearing sequence.
Flow in the Lower Morien aquifer is fracture controlled with hydraulic conductivities in the 10-3 to 10-6 cm/sec range within the top 100 m. The higher values are found within a 1-5 m thick highly weathered/ fractured zone just below the subcrop surface. Bulk transmissivities derived from open hole water wells with saturated thickness up to 150 m range from 1 to 7 x 10-4 m2/s, with storage coefficients of 5 to 10-4 to 1 x 10-5.The aquifer exhibits a total dissolved solids of 50 - 250 mg/L. It is soft to moderately hard, corrosive, predominately calcium-bicarbonate type water. The pH ranges between 7-8. Iron and manganese create the dominate natural water quality problems.
Given the large water surplus, the bedrock aquifers are for the most part fully saturated throughout the year. Seasonal fluctuation are in the order of 0.5 to 3 m within 100 m open boreholes. Peaks are associated with spring and fall recharge. Minimum values occur primarily during August and September.
Recharge to the bedrock is restricted by the lower permeability of the overlying glacial till and interflow in the podzol soil horizons, which directs shallow subsurface flow to the nearest stream. Estimates of annual recharge for the east coast region from stream baseflow analysis indicate rates from 15-30 cm/yr.

A wide variety of groundwater related issues present themselves within the CBRM:
1. Coal-Fuel Cycle: Groundwater problems are associated with the mining, preparation, transportation and end use of relatively high sulfur (2-5%) coal. Acidic drainage from disposal of coarse stone waste and fine tailings as well as, springs issuing from flooded mine workings create the majority of concerns.
2. Steel Plant/Coke Oven Complex: This industrial complex positioned within the City of Sydney (Figure 4) has been operating since 1900; coking operations ceased in 1988. A local estuary named the Tar Ponds received liquid wastes from this complex. It is presently regarded as the largest known chemical waste site in Canada, comprising 700,000 m3 of coal tar contaminated sediment. The Lower Morien Aquifer under the coke oven site is contaminated with a variety of dissolved and NAPL phase organic compounds.
3. Incinerated Municipal/Biomedical Waste: The CBRM operates the only incineration facility for these two waste streams in the province. The determination of the chemical composition of the ash and its leachate is ongoing to aid design of the proper disposal methodology for the ash.
4. On-Site Septic-Well systems: A number of subdivisions are on individual well and septic systems. The appropriate design and the sizing of the lots is becoming critical to ensure individual water supplies are not contaminated.
5. Utilization of groundwater resources for water supply: The commencement of urbanization along the sea coast greater than 100 years ago over the less productive Upper Morien Aquifer, resulted in the development of surface water resources in the interior. Given water quality concerns and stricter guidelines placed on trihalomethane concentrations the push is now to develop the underlying groundwater resources. The City of Sydney has recently developed a groundwater well field to supplant the former surface water system.
6. Coal Fired Thermal Generating Stations: Power generating stations were constructed in proximity to the mine sites. Two stations are presently in operation, supplying a total of 765 MWe to the provincial grid (Figure 3). Groundwater issues center around the proper design and monitoring of the ash disposal sites. The utilization of groundwaters at the Circulating Fluidized Bed plant has required extensive testing and monitoring to ensure the drawdown does not impact domestic wells.
7. Well Head Protection Stratagies: Legislation enacted in the early 1900's provided the provincial government with ownership of all fresh water. Allocation is through a water rights permitting program, well head protection is up to the owner. The City of Sydney is presently implementing a well head protection strategy for its well field. Design of protection guidelines for smaller central groundwater supplies within subdivisions is proving more difficult.
8. Fish Habitat: A number of streams are recognized as important habitat and spawning areas for trout and Atlantic Salmon. The importance of the sport fishery to the economy and the recent decline in Atlantic Salmon is pushing the importance of groundwater- stream interaction to the forefront.
9. Marine Oil Spills: All ship traffic moving into the heart of the North American Continent, passes through the Cabot Strait (Figure 1). The proximity and current movement within the Strait places the shoreline of the CBRM at high risk from marine oil spills. This has highlighted the need to develop large scale oily waste disposal sites, which to date utilize a natural attenuation design philosophy. In 1979 the tanker Kurdistan broke apart in the Strait, releasing 17.3 million litres of bunker C. This required four disposal sites within the CBRM.
10. Mine Water: Seepages and localized flooding events of hypersaline groundwaters (TDS up to 170,000 mg/L) have occurred in workings positioned 1-3 km off shore at depths of 200-600 m below seal level. Studies are on-going to ensure the source is not sea water (thereby minimizing risks to miners) and to understand the source of the elevated TDS, iron, manganese, and ammonia (up to 50 mg/L) in an effort to develop successful treatment strategies for mine water discharge.
11. Salt Water: The recent movement of people out of urban areas and importance of tourism have resulted in the development of shore front properties and difficulties in obtaining suitable individual well supplies not effected by saline formation waters or sea water intrusion.
12. Geotechnical: Groundwater is critical in understanding the collapse of abandoned underground mines through flooding and inadvertent dewatering, as well as stabilizing road side embankments and wave cliff erosion which, along the Atlantic ocean shoreline, ranges from 0.1 to 2 m per year.
13. Large Coal Stockpiles: Large ( 50,000 Tonnes), above grade coal stockpiles are exposed to ambient weather conditions at the power plants and coal preparation plant. Due to the high methane content of Sydney coals, any such product designated for overseas transport by ships must be left exposed for a minimum of 30 days to allow for degassing. Given the high precipitation such exposure increases the moisture content of the coal, which reduces the price, and compounds handling problems. Research into groundwater flow through these piles developed more effective handling operations.
14. LUST: Leaking underground storage tanks have continued to create problems. Legislation enacted in the early 1990's requires the replacement of tanks greater than 15 years old. More recently the increasing demand for environmental audits prior to real estate transactions has highlighted problems with old tanks, residential above ground tanks and spills.

The concerns centre around the risk posed to homes along the perimeter of the facility, the removal of such a large block of land for building and tax base, as well as the impact of continual transport of contaminants into the harbour. This has resulted in the closure of the lobster fishing industry within the harbour.
Since the late 1980's, monies spent on just the Tar Ponds alone has exceeded $50,000,000, with no cleanup scheduled to date. The complexity of hydrogeological investigations and design of remedial alternatives at the Coke Ovens site is enhanced by the long operational period and size of the site, the wide variety of chemicals handled and the transport of a wide range of organic chemicals in both dissolved and NAPL phases within a fractured bedrock aquifer.
Back to Topics
The initial phase of the Tar Ponds clean up was carried out by provincial and federal governments. Since 1996 it has has been headed up by a coalition of community and government known as the Joint Action Group (JAG). A web page is presently being developed, but is not operational at the present time.
To date hydrogeological studies have focused on delineating the extent and chemical characterisics of groundwater contamination under both the Coke Oven site and the upgradient disposal area, as well as tracking off-site transport into a built up area abutting the northern perimeter of the site.
Solutions to the other issues are site specific and can be obtained by contacting the author.
A second unique community based solution to overall environmental problems in the area is headed up by the Atlantic Coastal Action Program (ACAP) - Cape Breton (web page at ccen.uccb.ns.ca). Their efforts have concentrated on public education, action items (i.e. clean the stream) and development of a comprehensive environmental management plan. The action items when fully achieved would result in the achievement of three components of sustainable development in the local area - A Clean Environment, Sustainable Economy and a Healthy Community.
