News in brief
Hoiby, born in Madison, WI on February 17, 1926, was one of America's most prominent composers of works for the lyric stage. His setting of Tennessee Williams' "Summer and Smoke" (with libretto by Lanford Wilson) was declared "the finest American opera to date" following its world premiere. The 40th anniversary of the debut of this landmark American opera was celebrated with a new production at the Manhattan School of Music in December, 2010, attended by Hoiby. Locally, the Weekend of Chamber Music performed his work several times, including the "Last Letter Home" in 2007.
Hoiby is survived by his partner and longtime collaborator Mark Shulgasser. A memorial service at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine will be held on a date to be announced.

Spain couldn't match our pace, fitness: Nobbs
Commenting on the 3-3 draw against Spain, the India hockey coach said he is now confident about facing the top teams.
New Delhi: The Indian men's hockey team got the second leg of its pre-Olympic European tour on a confident note as it held the hosts and World No. 5 Spain to a 3-3 draw in the first friendly Test on Thursday, impressing coach Michael Nobbs in both pace and fitness.
Commenting on Thursday's drawn affair, Nobbs said he is growing in confidence about facing the top teams as the London Olympics draw closer.
"Interesting game. We played very well and had more possession than the Spanish team. I am feeling more confident about playing the top teams as we play more games against them. I was happy about the tactics we employed against them and that seems to have the desired effect as more circle penetrations came as a result," Nobbs said.
But the coach urged his team to not drop their guard, expecting Spain to plan differently in the next match and come out attacking.
"For a first game, it was a good outing. The next game should be a different game as, I think, they will need to play a more defensive style against us and rely on counter-attacks, as they couldn't match us for either pace or fitness. In fact, the last ten minutes we ran all over them and should have scored more goals.
The second match against Spain will be followed by a two-match series against South Africa and an invitational triangular involving Spain, India and Great Britain - before the team lands in London for the Games.

The county came up with the proposed changes in part to get better participation in SWAC, which has been plagued by poor attendance at meetings.
Members of SWAC spent more than two hours on Tuesday, Dec. 20 reviewing the changes, said Alan Johnson, county director of Solid Waste and Recycling. The Freeholders then discussed the SWAC suggestions at their meeting Wednesday.
One area that got a lot of attention was the number of members that comprises a quorum to conduct business. As presently constituted, SWAC has 30 voting members: one from each of the 26 municipalities and two each from the environmental sector and from the solid waste collection, processing or disposal industry. A quorum is eight members.
The changed bylaws say the council can have as many as 30 members, including one from each of the municipalities that have "expressed interest in actively participating" in SWAC.
Under the original proposed change, a quorum would have consisted of a majority of all voting members. SWAC responded with a suggestion for it to be 12 members.
But Freeholders Rob Walton and Will Mennen questioned the wisdom of using this number, since the number of towns interested in participating could possible be 12, or even less.
County Administrator Cindy Yard said that even if there are 16 participants, then 12 is a high number to be a quorum.
Walton suggested two-thirds of the members; then Mennen called for 50% plus 1, Freeholder Ron Sworen agreed with him and the board later adopted the revised bylaws.
Several members of SWAC had attended the Freeholder meeting Tuesday, Dec. 6 to complain about the proposed changes and ask for more time to respond. This led to the meeting last week devoted to the matter.
The Freeholders were eager to adopt the changes now so they can be implemented before municipalities reorganized for 2012 next week and send their SWAC nominations to the county for consideration. SWAC will reorganize in February.

text: [Federal Register Volume 78, Number 114 (Thursday, June 13, 2013)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 35570-35571] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2013-14033] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management 43 CFR Part 1820 [LLOR957000-L63100000-HD0000] RIN 1004-AE31 Application Procedures, Execution and Filing of Forms: Correction of State Office Address for Filings and Recordings, Including Proper Offices for Recording of Mining Claims; Oregon/Washington AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior. ACTION: Administrative final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This administrative final rule amends the regulations pertaining to execution and filing of forms in order to reflect the new address of the Oregon/Washington State Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which will move on August 5, 2013. All filings and other documents relating to public lands in the States of Oregon and Washington must be filed at the new address of the State Office. DATES: This rule is effective August 5, 2013. ADDRESSES: You may send inquiries or suggestions to Deputy State Director, Management Services (950), Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, OR 97208. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pat Russell, 503-808-6603. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a message for Ms. Russell. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background II. Procedural Matters I. Background This administrative final rule reflects the administrative action of changing the street address of the Oregon/Washington State Office of the BLM. Both the postal mailing address (P.O. Box 2965, Portland, OR 97208) and the phone number (503-808-6001) remain the same. This rule changes the street address for the personal filing of documents relating to public lands in Oregon and Washington, but makes no other changes in filing requirements. The BLM has determined that the rule has no substantive impact on the public, imposes no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in the Code of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public. The Department of the Interior, therefore, for good cause finds that under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(B) and 553 (d)(3) notice and public comment procedures are unnecessary and that the rule may take effect on the date of the move, August 5, 2013. II. Procedural Matters Regulatory Planning and Review (Executive Order 12866) This administrative final rule is an administrative action to change the address for one BLM State Office. This rule was not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866. The rule imposes no costs, and merely updates a list of addresses included in the Code of Federal Regulations for the convenience of the public. National Environmental Policy Act The BLM has found that the administrative final rule is of a procedural nature and thus is categorically excluded from environmental review under Section 102(2)(C) of the Environmental Protection Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), pursuant to 43 CFR 46.210(i). In addition, the administrative final rule does not present any of the 12 extraordinary circumstances listed at 43 CFR 46.215. Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR 1508.4) and the environmental regulations, policies, and procedures of the Department of the Interior, the term ``categorical exclusions'' means a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and that have been found to have no such effect in procedures adopted by a Federal agency and for which neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. Regulatory Flexibility Act Congress enacted the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.) to ensure that Government regulations do not unnecessarily or disproportionately burden small entities. This administrative final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having no effect upon the public or the environment and it has been determined that the rule will not have a significant effect on the economy or small entities. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act This administrative final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having no effects upon the public or the economy. This is not a major rule under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (5 U.S.C. 804(2)). The rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more. The rule will not cause a major increase in costs of prices for consumers, individual industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic regions. The rule will not have significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of United States-based enterprises to complete with foreign- based enterprises. Unfunded Mandate Reform Act The BLM has determined that this administrative final rule is not significant under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 because the rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more [[Page 35571]] in any one year. Further, the administrative final rule will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. It does not require action by any non-Federal government entity. Therefore, the information required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.), is not required. Executive Order 12630, Government Action and Interference With Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (Takings) As required by Executive Order 12630, the Department of the Interior has determined that the rule would not cause a taking of private property. No private property rights would be affected by a rule that merely reports an address change for the Oregon/Washington State Office. The Department therefore certifies that this administrative final rule does not represent a governmental action capable of interference with constitutionally protected property rights. Executive Order 13132, Federalism In accordance with Executive Order 13132, the BLM finds that the rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. The administrative final rule does not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national governments and the States, or the distribution of power and the responsibilities among the various levels of government. This administrative final rule does not preempt State law. Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform This administrative final rule is a purely administrative regulatory action having no effects upon the public and will not unduly burden the judicial system and meets the requirements of Sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Executive Order. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments In accordance with the Executive Order 13175, the BLM finds that the rule does not include policies that have tribal implications. This administrative final rule is purely an administrative action having no effects upon the public or the environment, imposing no costs, and merely updating the BLM, Oregon/Washington State Office address included in the Code of Federal Regulations. Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use In accordance with Executive Order 13211, the BLM has determined that the administrative final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the energy supply, distribution or use, including a shortfall in supply or price increase. This administrative final rule is a purely administrative action and has no implications under Executive Order 13211. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does not contain any information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. List of Subjects in 43 CFR Part 1820 Administrative practice and procedure, Archives and records, Public lands. Dated: June 4, 2013. Tommy P. Beaudreau, Acting Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals Management. For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Bureau of Land Management amends 43 CFR part 1820 as follows: PART 1820--APPLICATION PROCEDURES 0 1. The authority citation for part 1820 continues to read as follows: Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552, 43 U.S.C. 2, 1201, 1733, and 1740. Subpart 1821--General Information 0 2.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A man accused of wandering the halls of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel looking for a victim to sexually assault faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the alleged room invasion and attack.
Keith Darrius Manders, 20, waived his probable cause hearing in Grand Rapids District Court on Tuesday, March 18, sending his case to felony court where he faces charges of first-degree home invasion, second-degree criminal sexual conduct and assault with intent to commit sexual penetration.
According to police, Manders, who lists his residence in the 300 block of S. Division Avenue, was in the hotel around 1 a.m. on March 8 listening at the doors of various rooms before he picked a particular door to knock on.
When the person opened the door, Manders told the woman that he needed toilet paper. When the woman turned away, Manders attacked her, according to Grand Rapids Police Lt. Patrick Merrill.
Manders groped the woman before she was able to get away from him, police say. She was uninjured, but shaken from the attack.
"It was obviously a terrifying experience for the victim," Merrill said. "We're taking this very seriously."
Merrill said it is unusual that someone could wander the halls of the hotel without being stopped. He said it appears the suspect has mental health issues, but that his actions appear to be planned and deliberate.
Manders' attorney Craig Frederick said there is no plea offer from the Kent County Prosecutor's Office, but negotiations continue.
As he was about to sign the papers indicating he waived the hearing, Manders questioned his attorney.
"I'm going to get justice for real, right?" Manders asked.
He remains in the Kent County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

We kind of knew this was going to happen. At least, we really hoped it would ...
"Captain EO," starring the late Michael Jackson, made a triumphant return to Disneyland earlier this year for a limited engagement. On the heels of that unbridled success, the folks at Walt Disney World recently announced that the ground-breaking musical spectacular would be returning to Epcot, specifically to the Imagination pavilion where it first thrilled guests from 1986-1994.
"Captain EO" will begin its limited Epcot run on July 2, providing new audiences the opportunity to experience the original 3-D production for the very first time, as well as a nostalgic look back for longtime fans wanting to see Jackson in a rare performance created for the big screen.
"Captain EO" stars Jackson at the peak of his entertainment career, singing and dancing his way through the galaxy as he and his motley cast of furry crewmates — cute and cuddly Fuzzball and bumbling Hooter among them — helped save a very alien planet from an evil queen.
In addition to Jackson, the film's credits are equally star-studded: The queen was played by Academy Award-winning actress Anjelica Huston. The film's executive producer was George Lucas; it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and choreographed by Jeffrey Hornaday.
Jackson wrote and performed two songs in the film, "Another Part of Me" and "We Are Here to Change the World."
We saw "Captain EO" several times during its original Epcot run and never failed to be entertained by its powerful music, dance productions and message.
A word to the wise this summer: Get to the Imagination pavilion early; you know the lines for "Captain EO" are going to be long.

Syracuse, NY -- When I first saw this, I wondered if Rolling Stone magazine had forgotten the short-lived Planet Hollywood chain, the faltering of Rainforest Cafe and the hard luck of some of the Hard Rock Cafes. They say they haven't. Read on...
From Nation's Restaurant News:
Rolling Stone magazine to open restaurant
LOS ANGELES --Hoping to bring to life a long-established brand in the music world, Rolling Stone magazine has teamed with an Irish entrepreneur to open a restaurant next year in Hollywood.
To be called Rolling Stone, the 10,000-square-foot venue will be developed by Lucky Rug Group, whose principals include Niall Donnelly and Joe Altounian. The two made the announcement Friday with Rolling Stone editor and publisher Jann Wenner.
Donnelly is described in press materials as a "serial entrepreneur" who has spent the past 12 years opening bars and clubs in the United Kingdom. Altounian comes with a background in commercial and residential real estate and is responsible for raising capital for Lucky Rug, which also has other restaurant and bar properties in the works, though Rolling Stone is the first.
"For those who love music and pop culture, the words 'Rolling Stone' continue to mean so much to so many people around the world, especially in the U.S.," said Donnelly. "We are both excited and determined to bring the spirit of the magazine to life -- the edginess, the coolness, the classiness and the timelessness -- in making this venue a place to see and be seen in."
The restaurant is scheduled to open in the summer of 2010 at the Hollywood & Highland shopping center, which is also home to the Kodak Theatre where the Academy Awards ceremony traditionally has been held.
The new Rolling Stone will not rely on decorative memorabilia, like other entertainment-themed concepts such as Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood. Instead, the space will feature exposed black brick, tufted leather and vaulted ceilings, as well as an antique iron staircase.
Donnelly told the Los Angeles Time that Rolling Stone will have higher-end food than Hard Rock. The venue will have two tiers: A restaurant and bar that will tap into the steady supply of tourists that come to the center built around Grauman's Chinese Theatre, as well as a more exclusive upstairs lounge.
A press spokeswoman for the restaurant said no information is available yet on the chef or menu, but that it will be equal parts restaurant, bar, lounge and private-event space. Officials said the venue is not expected to host live music, except for special events, though it will have a DJ.
My comments: Apparently, Rolling Stone has learned some lessons from some of the other hipster theme restaurants. Sounds as though this is, for now, a one-and-done deal. I just wonder if Rolling Stone still has the chops to attract a broad range -- and age -- of music lovers, and enough chops to cash in on its name alone.
That said, the location is perfect. I wonder if they're perhaps thinking of going the way of Hard Rock (and before them, Playboy) and doing the casino gig.
Seeing this also reminded me that the chain themed restaurants for the most part have avoided Syracuse. We had Kahunaville for awhile, until that left us, but we never got a Rainforest, Hard Rock or even a Dave & Buster's. With the stalled mall called Carousel and Macerich's slow unraveling, prospects still don't look good.
On to...
- Yankeescash: "Chick-Fil-A is Terrific !!! They have Delicious chicken sandwiches and their Fries are Really Good ... It would be a Great addition to the Syracuse Area ... Hope they make it up there !!!''
- Andrea: "Having visited a Chick-fil-A in a busy shopping area off I-95, what impressed me the most was not the food, which was quite fresh and somewhat more healthful than typical fast food, but it was the courteous staff. I don't know if that was a 'Southern' thing, or something else, but how refreshing it was to have the wait staff that spoke politely, stopped by our table as they walked by to ask if everything was good and if we needed anything, and to offer to throw our trash away, etc. Why is courtesy in such short supply in the North?"
- 14215: "Hey Bob, Some info from the Buffalo way. The last few weeks I have seen at least
two Blockbuster stores closing and the new P.F. Chang's open. Also, I had the chance to try Yogen Fruz, it is really awesome!!"
BN: Niiiiice! Thanks.
Bbur7: "My recently graduated son went to college in Hoboken, N.J., and raved about Qdoba -- it was his favorite off-campus eatery (I have four years of debit card charges on the bank statement to prove it), but never made it there myself."
Nedrow42: "Does anyone know what is going up in Fairmount, across the parking lot from the new Panera? Construction seems to be progressing fairly quickly on the new building back there but I haven't seen any signs of what it is going to be. I looks to be the right size for a small restaurant, unless the upper part of the building is going to be a second floor in which case it is hard to tell what it might be with a footprint of that size."
BN: Benderson Development is staying mum on this. I'm still trying to get info.
That is all.
Talk to me.

Based on shooting percentage, Julien Brouillette possesses the deadliest shot among AHL defensemen in 2013-14.
The Hershey Bears blue-liner struck twice Friday night at Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls, N.Y., scoring a tie-breaking goal and later adding an empty-netter in a 5-3 triumph over the Adirondack Phantoms.
Brouillette, who has scored on 29.6 percent of his shots, gave Hershey a 2-1 lead with a power play goal at 5:08 of the second period. His empty-netter at 18:46 of the third also came on a power play after Adirondack closed within 4-3.
Dane Byers and Peter LeBlanc followed Brouillette with second-period goals to stretch the lead to 4-1 as the Bears ran their season-high winning streak to six games.
Hershey's Jeff Taffe and Adirondack's Rob Bordson traded first-period goals. Mark Alt and Bruno Gervais (5-on-3 power play) scored third-period goals for the Phantoms.
Bears goalie David Leggio (14-12-2), who made 29 saves, has won seven of his last nine starts.
Brouillette established a career high for goals (eight). His previous high was seven in 2011-12 with Hershey.

Hikaru Nakamura is leading the Crown Group at the 2012 Unive Tournament in Hoogeveen, Netherlands at the halfway point.
Nakamura has won both his games with the white pieces, and drawn with black to lead by a clear point from Sergei Tiviakov.
Today (24th October) is a rest day, so the tournament continues with round four on Thursday 25th October.
All rounds start at 14:00 local time (12:00 UTC), and the official website (in Dutch) is providing live video coverage of the games at this page.
The standings after 3/6 rounds
Hikaru Nakamura beat Anish Giri in the first round
Hou Yifan pushed hard against Anish Giri in round two
Nakamura responded well to Hou Yifan's rare choice of 7...e5?! in the Keres Attack
Pictures from the official website. Games via TWIC.
@ Czechman I'll be posting a final report later today. The link to the official website is in the article.
Where is the update on this? Play was supposed to continue on the 25th. If I missed it, how about a link.
Not a Naka shill or anything...don't know the guy...hope he does well as he's a fellow American.
@sittingpawn - Thank you for clarifying the very well known saying (at least well known here). To think Americans get bashed for their lack of tolerance for things non-American.
@Serbianchessstar - Of course you are entitled to your opinion on the strength of any player. However, a statement like "a female that any 2700 would beat." is offensive, bordering on mysoginistic. Ms. Yifan has earned an invitiation at that tournament. You, however, have done nothing to earn the right to look down your nose and dismiss her as merely "a female". Neither you're rating, your patheticly egotistic nickname, nor anything else about you will put you in such a position where you can disrespect her because of her gender like that. Troll!
If Nakamura could compete only in women tournaments, or in 2600 rated events, he would be world champion!
Who cares about nakamura?
Wow, Naka's back baby!!!
That kind of win (a grind it out victory) is exactly what he needed to get his groove back ... He IS going to have an awesome London Chess Classic!!!
X-p back at ya! LOL.
btw, kudos points for the most clever and and witty response I've ever seen on these forums.
@novzki41 not the best game though. See how many opportuinities were missed.. good analysis here: http://livechess.chessdom.com/site/
Hikaru goes for the kill with g6 against Hou. No castle. Just attack. Great!
Wait. What's wrong with being a hypocrite?
I see most people doesn't realize how rating is calculated. In fact there is small error in calculation which causes that plaing weaker players is disadvantageous. The only possibility how to unfairly pick rating points from weaker is playing someone significantly weaker (cca more then 500 points weaker which is not the case). The minimum rating gain for win is about 0.8 fo someone who is 400 or more points weaker. Those it will start paying off with cca 500 point difference as mentioned.
Naka is a great player and a nice guy. Haters go home!
sittingpawn, after thoroughly analyzing your post...
today's news: sun still rises in east, pope still catholic, grandmasters still have egos.
Man I never knew one person could bring about so much hatred for really not doing much at all.
First you have to do your homework on the rating points comments that he made and realize he wasn't criticizing Caruana like many wanted to just thrust at him. You people realize that tweets have a character limit and therefore is limited it's it ability to convey meaning. This means that your personal subjectiveness comes into play with most things he'll write. I'm sure the same can be said for your little snippet comments made on chess.com forums. Have you never been misunderstood by someone when you made a comment online because you didn't go into extremem depth in explaining youself? I mean seriously, stop over-analyzing everything a person says...
and on that note, I hope you people realize that Nakamura didn't coin the term, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." It's a common American idiom and has very little to do with considering oneself tough or claiming to be better. It's more mantra for stating that when situations become difficult, like having gone through a rough spot and maybe loosing some self-confidence, you can either buck up and rise to the challenge or you can wallow in your own self-pity and become defeated. His tweet is far from arrogant and more of a humbling reminder of his past play... but then again you might know that if you didn't try to attribute everything he said to being some type of pompous arrogance... It's almost arrogant of you to feel that way.
When the choice is Nakamura or Kamsky, I always root Kamsky (I was so dissapointed when Kamsky lost the U.S. championship to Nakamura earlier this year). But Kamsky is getting older and soon we'll only have Nakamura left to root for on the world stage.
We need a new Nakamura alternative. Hopefully one of our up and coming young players will be a future top ten name. (go go go Kayden Troff!)
LOL at Naka's tweet..
The tough get going when the going gets tough? Wow. There's a softy Giri, a weak Tiviakov and a female any 2700 would beat.
I hope he doesn't win, he's so arrogant he actually thinks hes doing good LOL.
Nakamura probably was invited, as some of you said, to the tournament long before the Grand Prix. Nor does Nakamura really have the ability to select the other people that he plays in the tournament!
For all those players who "harp" about "ratings" here is what I say: Get a Life; the players irrespective of their ratings are World Champion or the Challenger; till date; because they played right at the right time!
The so called "higher rated" players who failed to become World Champion or Challenger; till date; deserve their status due to their own performance or otherwise!
Let us all just enjoy the beautiful Game of Chess!
Go Naka!

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is celebrating 125 years of law enforcement in 2012, marking the anniversary of the appointment of William Alden Smith as Michigan's first game warden.
"Conservation officers have a rich and proud heritage protecting Michigan's natural resources," said Gary Hagler, chief of the DNR's Law Enforcement Division. "These men and women take great pride in their service to the people of Michigan. I am proud of every one of them."
Michigan's conservation officers are fully empowered peace officers who not only enforce fish and game regulations, but are often pressed into duty in support of other law enforcement functions. Though the scope of their main mission has broadened widely since Smith's appointment - when snowmobiles, off-road vehicles and personal watercraft were not even on the horizon - conservation officers are often involved in everything from assisting at accident scenes to searching for lost children and performing rescues on the Great Lakes and inland waterways.
Conservation officer duties vary from season to season and include observing and checking hunters and anglers, enforcing snowmobiling, off-road vehicle and watercraft regulations; enforcing laws that protect the environment; outdoor recreation safety education; writing criminal case briefs and giving court testimony.
They work varied shifts, often outdoors in inclement weather. Because they enforce hunting regulations, conservation officers often deal with those possessing firearms. As peace officers, on occasion they make physical arrests of criminals who may be intoxicated and/or disorderly.
The DNR Law Enforcement Division will sponsor a number of events commemorating the anniversary during 2012, including a service for fallen conservation officers - 12 of whom have been killed in the line of duty - on May 15 at the Ralph A. MacMullan conference center in Roscommon. The ceremony will be held during National Police Officer Memorial Week, which honors all fallen peace officers.
DNR conservation officers are committed to protecting not only Michigan's natural resources and environment, but the health and safety of the public through effective law enforcement.

South Whidbey Record named one of North America's best papers
The South Whidbey Record was recognized this week as one of the top newspapers for its size in North America.
The Suburban Newspapers Association announced its "Newspapers of the Year" on Thursday.
The Record was named a "Newspaper of the Year" and received third place in the competition for non-dailies with circulations less than 10,000.
The competition included newspapers from across the United States and Canada and was judged by executives from The American Press Institute.
"It's great to be recognized on a national level, especially with the level of competition that's out there," said Record publisher Sherry Mays.
"I'm really proud of the Record team. When all the players on a team play their hardest, wins happen," Mays said. "All of their hard work has paid off."
The top winners in the competition for newspapers in The Record's class are based in New York, N.Y. and Chicago, Ill. The Riverdale Press in the Bronx won first place, and Wilmette Life/Pioneer Press Newspapers placed second.
Judges in the contest praised the Record for its editorial content, beginning with the paper's news stories, headlines and photography. The Record's advertising was lauded, as well.
"The quality of this paper begins on page 1. It is striking, clean and graphically creative," the judges wrote in their comments. "The leads are brisk and exciting, the headlines dramatic. This is a graphically-interesting, sharply printed paper which uses color extremely well. The photography and layout are strong and complimentary."
The Record also earned kudos for "its big treatment of community news, its graphic appeal and clear pulse of the town."
The Record and other winners will be recognized in a two-page spread in the October issue of Editor & Publisher and at the Suburban Newspapers Association conference for publishers in October in Minneapolis, Minn.

Defence spending may be wilting and Europe's car industry stalling, but GKN still ran to its best in nearly 14 years.
The supplier of parts for the automotive and aerospace industries — and a regular subject for bid speculation among London's rumour-mongers — improved thanks to a push from UBS, its own broker.
Rami Myerson, UBS's aerospace and defence analyst, is now responsible for coverage and he was suitably upbeat.Recent acquisitions, he argued, had transformed both divisions of GKN.

Business writer
DEERFIELD - The new owners of Franklin County mainstay Hardigg Industries promised Tuesday to keep manufacturing plastic shipping and storage cases in Western Massachusetts.
"Our plan is to grow the business," said Lyndon J. Faulkner president and CEO of Pelican Products Inc., of Torrance, Calif.
Manufacturing will also continue at Hardigg's Indiana plant, Faulkner said.
Pelican, which had been a competitor with Hardigg, bought the family-owned Hardigg, founded in 1954, last month for $350 million. Hardigg has about 900 employees, 500 working at the 300,000-square-foot factory, warehouse and headquarters at 147 North Main Street, South Deerfield.
Of those 500 employees in South Deerfield, about 70 percent work in production and about 30 percent of them work in support and office roles, said William P. Hamer, Hardigg's chief operating officer.
Faulkner couldn't say Tuesday what will happen to the non-manufacturing operations in South Deerfield because transition teams won't start meeting until next week. But, he said, the companies are expected to combine efforts when it comes to advertising, procurement and research and development.
Research specializing in rotation-molded plastic cases, a Hardigg specialty, will stay in Deerfield, Faulkner said.
"There is always some trepidation when there are changes," said Michael E. Tucker, president and CEO of Greenfield Cooperative Bank. "But, I am happy to hear what we heard here today." Tucker attended the meeting with a delegation of members from the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce.
Hardigg is one of the largest employers in Franklin County along with Yankee Candle, also in South Deerfield, and Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield.
"Hardigg is a major source of manufacturing jobs for the people in this community," Tucker said.
Hamer said workers on the production floor start at $11 to $12 an hour, and the company is hiring only to fill vacancies from attrition. Experienced factory workers average more than $16 an hour.
Hardigg makes a quarter million cases a year, including more than 50,000 plastic footlockers for the military, a product now called a "trunk locker," Hamer said.
About 80 percent of Hardigg's business is for the U.S. Department of Defense, including new cases for the M16 rifle. Most of those cases are made by a rotational-mold process where a powdered plastic is heated inside a mold that rotates. The larger molding machines are several stories tall and resemble carnival rides.
Pelican makes the same types of cases but using an injection molding process, Faulkner said. Pelican's biggest customers are police, fire and emergency services agencies so there is only about a 20 percent overlap with Hardigg's product lines.
James M. "Jamie" Hardigg, son of 86-year-old company founder James S. Hardigg, retired in December as chairman and CEO of Hardigg. He'll be on Pelican's board.

Houston, Tampa Bay, Miami, New Orleans, San Francisco and the New York Jets all showed interest at times over the last two weeks with the Saints in it until the final minutes.
The Saints had pressed the issue late after lost several offensive guards to injury this year and saw Fonoti as an upgrade over their current stock of linemen.
In the end the Vikings won out. The conditions of the pick are tied to playing time and it could drop to a seventh round pick if Fonoti does not log a certain number of games.
Fonoti left the team prior to the New England game without permission to seek a second opinion on his injured hand – further fueling the team to ship him out of town.
It was just one of a string of incidents that left the Chargers wondering where their offensive lineman was. He also missed reporting days twice in the last two years and skipped minicamp entirely to attend a weight loss clinic in Houston.
These issues have never been resolved, leaving a sour taste in the minds of the Chargers. That helped precipitate a trade.

For years now we have been struggling with poor broadband speeds. When I last complained to Sky they sent me the new Sky Hub, but although my wifi has improved as a result, our speeds are still very poor.
Router Statistics
System Up Time: 02:04:59
|2047 kbps
|604 kbps
|52.0 dB
|31.4 dB
|8.5 dB
|15.15 dB
It is really becoming a problem now and I am considering having to pay the ridiculous price of fibre so that we can get a decent speed. However having read other posts I am wondering if it is a problem with our internal wiring? We don't have a master socket into the house, however I am using all the necessary microfilters.
How much will sky charge me for sending out an engineer to check wiring? Is this going to be a better option than committing to fibre. I am worried that as I get poor broadband, will I also get poor fibre?!
Can anybody make any suggestions?

Hello LizzyA,
Welcome to the Sky Community.
It's not great to see that you have experienced such slow Sky Broadband speeds for a number of years. Do you have any issues with your landline i.e. Noise on line or no dial tone? As mae-3 has mentioned you will have a master telephone socket, this is normally in the hallway, however it can differ as each property is different.
How many telephone sockets do you have in your property? Can you tell me what rooms there are located in? By knowing where the sockets are we can help pin point where the master socket is.
on 27-03-2014 10:15 AM
Thanks for your help mae-3. OK, we must have a master socket then! Probably the one in the hallway, which is the one the router is already plugged into.
I have growing girls who get very frustrated when they cannot use youtube and we have an increasing number of gadgets fighting for broadbrand, so I fear that we will have to move to fibre. Just frustrating that we live in a built up commuter belt area and we have such poor broadband, and yet my brother who lives in a tiny village gets over 10 mbp and doesn't have to fork out for fibre!
on 27-03-2014 10:26 AM
Hi Natasha B
Thanks for your email.
I am guessing our master socket is in the hallway - although it looks just the same as all the other sockets! The router is plugged into this socket.
We do have phone sockets in practically every other room in the house, but our only phone that is plugged in is also in the master socket using a microfilter. Our sky box is also plugged into a socket in the lounge using a microfilter extension cable which runs under our lounge carpet!
I don't know if that helps?!

Hey folks,
Sorry to hear about your Sky Broadband issues @LizzyA, if you are experiencing slow speeds issues we ask that consider the steps outlined here and this also includes information previously given by @mae-3 and Natasha. If this does not resolve the issue we'll be happy to do some tests on the line to see if there are any faults on the line.
If your speeds are due to limitations with the infrastructure then the only way for us to increase the speeds would be to go with our Sky Fibre services. You can find out estimated speeds and information about this on the website as well.
Can you let us know if you run into any difficulties and we'll assist.

Listen: CulturePop No. 21 - Troy DeVolld, 'Duck Dynasty,' Kardashians
This week Melinda and I had the great pleasure of having reality TV producer Troy DeVolld ("Hollywood Game Night," "Basketball Wives") as our guest on the show. I think it's safe to say that both Melinda and I learned a lot about how our favorite (and least favorite) shows work. We also talked about the Kardashians. A lot. It's tremendously reassuring to learn that an expert in the field thinks that their fifteen minutes might someday tick out, too.
Troy's book, "Reality TV: An Insider's Guide to TV's Hottest Market," is chock full of the kind of interesting, behind-the-scenes details he shared with us, so listen in to get a taste (also check out his awesome blog, realitytvbook.com) for more reality TV insight. Here's the rundown!
1:00 - We talk a little bit about Troy and why he wrote the bible on reality TV.
2:30 - Guess what? Troy likes "Duck Dynasty." .
4:35 - Troy is less enthusiasitc about the Kardashians.
5:25 - Troy reveals the one genre of reality TV he really hates.
7:25 - Troy talks about his stint on "Dancing with the Stars."
9:30 - Troy talks about why he likes Jeffrey Lewis ("Interior Therapy with Jeffrey Lewis").
9:45 - Troy worked on "Paris Hilton's My New BFF: Dubai" and he talks about the challenges of making a reality competition show built around relationships.
11:50 - For all those reality stars who've carped that they were victims of editing, Troy has something to tell them.
15:45 - We discuss the racism and homophobia on the "Big Brother" live feed and what Troy would have done.
22:35 - Melinda talks about Jay-Z's disappointing Samsung collaboration.
28:55 - I talk about Elisabeth Hasselbeck's exit from "The View."
34:30 - We discuss whether Jenny McCarthy will be a worthwhile addition to the show.
35:35 - Finally, we talk about whether the Kardashians' 15 minutes will ever end. We can only hope.
Thanks for tuning in!

The only remnant of 10-A and 10-B Ravenna St., Harvey, is a pile of concrete rubble. The same can be said of 3626 Destrehan Ave., Harvey, two blocks away from the garbage bin where little Ahlittia North was found murdered.
Moving with deliberate speed to fulfill a Jefferson Parish Council directive to raze abandoned, derelict properties, code enforcement officials have ordered the demolition of nine properties throughout the parish. Others are scheduled for administrative hearings before the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication. And the Parish Council is scheduled to hold its own hearings Wednesday on several structures targeted for immediate demolition.
Inspectors continue combing through problem neighborhoods, issuing citations for code violations. Sweeps were recently conducted in Terrytown, where 10 violations were issued, and in Metairie.
"It's long overdue,'' Parish Council Chairman Chris Roberts said. "We made a lot of progress after Katrina, but that department has regressed so that the successes came to a grinding halt. We were just as bad now as before the reforms of '06, '07.''
Council members sought to ramp up code enforcement activity last month after 6-year-old Ahlittia's death in the Woodmere subdivision. There, Councilman Mark Spears Jr. had been pushing for expediency in tearing down longtime derelict properties. Residents had complained about the condition of Destrehan Avenue apartment buildings that draw crime and leave a negative impression of the entire subdivision, he said.
Administrators told the council that condemnation proceedings are a lengthy process. But Roberts said the council is united in its resolve to pick up the pace. And administrators must follow up on violations.
"There are so many egregious violations. That's where our focus needs to be. They're hundreds, if not thousands, of buildings that need to be torn down throughout the parish,'' he said.
Last year, Jefferson razed 78 dilapidated properties. Although administrators told the council earlier this month only 16 tear-downs had been completed as of May, activity is increasing.
Roberts reiterated a commitment that the council made earlier this month to provide the financial resources to get the parish cleaned up. "We're all on the same page. It's economic development, investment in the future,'' he said.

I love Instagram. Don't get me wrong. I love it for the social aspects of sharing photos and telling story through stunning visual imagery1. But more often than not people just don't seem to get it.

Lil Bub's 17 Tips For Your First Day Back At School
Lil Bub stopped by
BubFeed BuzzFeed to tell us about her new book and help everyone who's heading to school this month with her spot-on advice. Good job, Bub!
Summer ruled! Getting back to school can be tough. Luckily, Lil Bub is here to help…
1. It might be hard to say good-bye to your dad, but just remember how happy you will be to see him at the end of the day!
2. Shopping for school supplies is the most fun part of going to school.
Look closely at that calculator for an extra-special bonus tip.
3. The first thing you will want to do is choose a favorite crayon color. Bub has selected "violet red."
4. Make new friends by memorizing a handful of hilarious jokes.
Pictured: Bub telling her new pals the one about the corduroy pillows.
…they're making headlines!
5. When it comes to extracurricular activities, just be sure that you're doing what you love, not what other people think is cool.
6. In other words, it's fine if baseball isn't your thing — try finding a Dungeons & Dragons group!
They'll be the ones in the trench coats.
7. You can hide the book you really want to read inside your binder — just make sure to put it underneath the paper when your teacher walks by!
Lil Bub's Lil Book is now available and it is perfect.
8. Guilt your dad (or mom) into making your favorite lunch, at least for day one — the school cafeteria food may not be your favorite.
9. Tell bullies who's boss with confidence. Bullies can smell weakness.
10. If all else fails, just try making friends — most bullies are secretly desperate to make new friends.
11. Make sure to sit in the back of class so that no one will notice if you fall asleep.
12. Did your dad buy you a totally embarassing DOG notebook?
No problem! Just get a picture of your crush, your favorite crayon, and make it your own.
(Looking at a picture of someone cute will make everything more bearable anyway.)
13. Make sure to get to know all the secret hiding spots and storage rooms all over your school — you'll need them later, trust us.
14. Art class is the perfect place for you to express your true self — the weirder, the better!
15. Just say no to smoking in the girl's room! There are more fun things to do…
16. Like CANDY! Fill a secret lunchbox with it and you will be the most popular kid in school.
17. Most importantly of all, always be yourself.
Extra important if you are as wonderful as Lil Bub.

Many Perry County residents who stopped in at the Marysville Diner this morning said they felt insulted by Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson, who on Wednesday referred to "some scumbag that comes from Perry County" in a news conference on privatizing the city's trash service.
"She's a hypocrite. She needs to take care of her own people," said Rick Havens, who was having breakfast with friends Ken Smith and Floyd Crumlich. "She was arrogant when she was on their (city) council and she's even more arrogant now."
Thompson issued an apology for the remark Thursday morning and said it has been "distorted out of contact (sic)."
Yet, it is just the latest remark from the city's mayor that has drawn the ire of many and garnered headlines across the midstate.
The Marysville Diner sits in Marysville, a small borough in Perry County. A brief stop at the diner this morning revealed that Thompson's comment was driving much of the breakfast conversation.
"She just doesn't think. I don't know what to say about a comment like that from a public official," said Charles Oakes, who lives in Cove and was finishing up a cup of coffee. "They're rural areas here where people could dump their trash. Why would we go to Harrisburg to dump something?"

While the male of the species may not oppose this societal transition, the 21st century shift may be one that doesn't truly reflect the spirit of the holiday.
What ever happened to getting ready for a Halloween party and putting fake blood on your face, rather than hiking up fishnet stockings and high-heeled boots? Instead of cutting up sheets for fake bandages, we are cutting hemlines.
Insert sexy referee, sexy firefighter or naughty sailor references here. These are real costumes names that you can buy at any local costume store. Their own claim to sexy is the length of the uniform. Let's not get into the details on how these specific outfits would never be practical on said jobs, but you get the picture.
If any costume can be made provocative, anything can be made scary. Zombies are scary and do not discriminate who they hunt, so anyone can become one, thus any costume can be zombified.
Zombie librarian, cheerleader, bride or nurse costumes can be constructed easily. Just add make-up and messy hair, easily constructed with a blow dryer and some aerosol hairspray.
If you want to go the more gruesome route, while still having some element of beauty, why not show the darker sides of character stories?
Marie Antoinette, while extravagant, can also be shown after her be-heading either carrying her head or with a chopped neck. Little "Dead" Riding Hood or Snow White after eating the poisoned apple could also show the darker side of fairy tales, showcasing the evil of the villains.
Or just pluck an evil, yet powerful character out of a story and go as is. Medusa is a feared female that can be quite easily put together. Pick up some fake snakes at a toy store and pin those suckers in your hair. Wear all black and be done with it.
On another note, if you really need the sexy element, scary can be sexy. How about being the aggressive blood-thirsty vampire instead of the victim of vampire lust?
While I do not judge those who wish to celebrate their sexuality in dress, I miss the permission to be dark at Halloween. As we have fought against the commercialization of Christmas, let's combat the degrading of the Halloween spirit.
Let's reclaim this holiday and make it about the scare, rather than the suggestive.
Share your scary Halloween ideas in the comments section below.

is it me or is powerflow exhausts ***** every where is rusting on the joins and the box its rusting this cant be good can it its only been on there a month
is it me or is powerflow exhausts ***** every where is rusting on the joins and the box its rusting this cant be good can it its only been on there a month
yeah i agree prats who did mine decided to put a 45 mm collar on the centre section reducing the centre section down,from 50mm.
Made a nice difference when it was rectified.
im never going to powerflow ever again
Had my powerflow back box on since august and the only part that isn`t rusty is the end of the tailpipe! It`s supposed to be lifetime guarantee though so i guess every 12 months when it`s fully rusted out you can have it replaced?!
i want mine changed for a new one this is looking rusty as S**T or a refund lifetime warrenty rubbish it wont last six months at this rate
well all powerflow stuff has lifetime warranty guys
has anyone tried going to them and saying "what the f**k is this s**t growing on my exhaust?"
surely if its rusting they have to replace it?
my exhaust is a perma zaust full stainless (ajbek has the same) and its only been on about 5 months but it seems fine, and the guys have always been pretty nice about any issues i have with it i.e. the exhaust was slightly badly mated to the manifold and it was blowing slightly because of this, and they fixed it all up no questions asked - i know this is not exactly the same as rusting to death but its all thats went wrong with it since i got it
I'm sure they would have to replace it?
Thats s**t

Well I too have had one of these turds stuck onto my pride and joy and it was rusting a treat spreading like wildfire. I went back to the garage in question based in nottm city centre to be greeted by" what the f!ck you moaning about?! theres nothing wrong with it!" he then went on to explain that it will rust just not rust through and that refund wasn't in his VocabularyOriginally Posted by Kenny-MK4Astra
Brrrrrm tish!
there quick enough to take your money but when some thing goes wrong they dont want to know
they always are mate!
my mate took his corsa with a redtop to RMS in prestwick to have a cat bypass section made up. Basically he had a full mongoose stainless and the XE manifold and just needed a section to join the two. The exhaust was only 1 day old and he had fitted it and towed the car there from his lockup. The engine was only just in the car, and the car had never been driven.
They took the car and told him it would be ready in a few hours - they quoted price 60 quid. They put the car on the ramp and spotted that is was a rather mint piece of work and the price doubled before they touched the car!
They took 2 days to do the car and in the process cut sections out of his exhaust and totally screwed the warranty. The car sounded like s**t to boot!
Drove the car for a few days and thought no f'ing way! took it back. They took the car for another two days and it came back rattling like hell.
on the third visit he told em that he wanted it properly sorted or he was taking them to trade standards - he was instantly surrounded by the tool weilding f**ks and told to get off their land. They told him to leave the car and they would call him when it was ready, when he came back they has welded the whole exhaust from front to back so it was basically impossible to take the exhaust off without dropping the rear beam off, and removing it as one piece.
RMS - s**t, really s**t, avoid like the plague

I think the thing with powerflow zorsts is that each branch has different fitters nad therefor different quality of work.
My calibra had a powerflow on it when i bought it, bloke said it`s been on since he bought it no rust what so ever! thats at least a year and half then! I`ve had the back box changed cus i didn`t like the style (DTM) but thats it!
We hae three braches local and some of the stuff i`ve seen from one of em is awefull but can`t fault Chris at silver systems in Leek.
Read the warranty carefully...... it used to say that only the welds are guaranteed, or something...
hmm i got one fitted to my mk3 astra (aka bake bean tin can as my friends call it) just cracks me up im quite happy with it as it came with the car but looking at the job i would personally never shell out for a powerflow exhaust rather go for an off the shelf sportex.
as long as it pass's the MOT in a couple of days im happy otherwise ill be down there to have a word with em
Owns a white Mk3 turbo diesel with more stopping power then engine power..... boosting 0.9bar, Now De-catted!!
Mate of mine had some 5 or 6 inch monstrosity of a backbox welded onto his MX6 - to be fair, it never rusted, and was still going strong the day he sold the car on. That was from Top Gear in St. Albans, and they all seemed to know what they were doing. Quite pleasant chaps as well as it goes.
Spoken to Top Gear, St. Albans twice on the phone and both times have been faced with a full-on numpty with the apparent i.q of a goldfish.
And I once mail-ordered a system off their other branch (Burnley??.. the original one, anyway) and they turned out a beatiful system... not!
Wasn't what I asked for, made a GSi Carlton sound like a 1.0 Fiesta..cool..
check the grade of stainless steel that they use because i bet you it isn't good quality. Make sure its t304 as its aircraft qaulity and most decent suppliers will use this.
If you're near Southampton, Stealth systems do an awesome system. They put a full stainless form the downpipe back on my XE MK1 and it's top quality job. They also do a mig discount too. I was totally impressed, as soon as I got it back from them it was up on the ramps to see what it looked like, it was a perfect fit and all the welds/joins were excellent.
I shall be booking my car in for a decat pipe with stealth.
C20LET Mk4 Astra247.4 bhp @ 4160 rpm & 315Ibs @ 4030 rpm
if the joints and welds are rusting it sounds like they have used standard wire instead of stainless
when the gagged ones are reinstated
My powerflow has been on for 3 months now and not a sign of any rust - mine was from Stafford branch called 'Unique Exhausts'.
Ive had my powerflow backbox on for almost a year and its still mint, I guess its luck of the draw.
Went to Croydon for it, and it was expensive, strange thing is their systems arnt much more!
Ive had two systems from Powerflow fitted at Unique Exhausts in Stafford and they"ve been brilliant.
shes a nice un
My Powerflow was from RSR Tyres in Croydon.... about 5 years ago iirc...
Powerflow head honcho reckoned RSR was, at that time, the best dealer in the country.
Power & Performance in Norfolk (Dereham??) have a good rep, and now there's 2xtreme in Essex... not sure if they are Powerflow, but I've heard good things about their work.

1 of the brackets has broken (common problem with stainless, fractures easier the Mild steel)
Also wherre they welded a bracket to the back box, it has pulled the seam a little and was blowing.
So I welded the length of the seam.

Sad saga of forlorn CK trees continues
While survey crews determine whether the trees cut down recently on Silverdale Way were in county right of way, neighboring business owners applauded the tree removal.
These things dont even look good. Theyre not maintained and theyre ugly, said Silverdale Markets Tim Garguile, of the flowering plum trees that line Silverdale Way in front of his business.
Last week controversy erupted after property owners on the other side of the street cut down a half dozen trees they said were dead. They also maintain the trees were on their property.
Garguile said Monday hes been battling the county over the trees for three years. They block his signs and their leaves clog the parking lot drains.
All Im trying to do is run a business, he said asking what is more important jobs and the local economy or trees.
In 1976 Benita Sinclair suggested trees be planted along the main thoroughfare near her business to beautify the area for Whaling Days.
Her idea inspired other businesses to place trees and shrubbery along the road.
County officials Monday seemed confident the trees cut down were in the countys right of way, but were not willing to speculate about the penalties property owner Allan Gordon might face. Two of his tenants cut the trees, which measure about 2-inches in diameter and were planted by the county several years ago as part of a beautification effort.
They hoped to make the determination in the next day or so, said Jon Brand of the countys public works department.
Brand said Monday if the trees were found to be in the county right of way, the people who cut them down might have to replace them.
