Texas Won't Pick Up Vlad's Option! What, Are They Crazy? ;)
Earlier this year someone made the comment on AM 830 that the amount of money Texas shelled out for Vlad Guerrero was a lot like the middle class couple who buys a million dollar home in a sketchy economy with the thought that they're just going to declare bankruptcy anyway so it's not like they'll have to keep making the large payments on an investment that could go either way. (I wish I could remember who said it, because this made me crack up on my morning commute and I like to give credit where credit is due, but I can't remember.) And, ignoring the disparaging overtones, I think this is an apt comparison in many ways. With so much talent already on the team, no post season titles to their credit and a frightening financial future, Texas had nothing to lose this year betting big on Vlad. The Angels thought they had too much to lose to offer even more money to someone who appeared to be winding down.
I know that claiming "I knew Vlad was going to come back and have a great season in 2010" was a popular Angels fan pastime this year online and on the radio, but complaining about Vlad's performance was an equally popular pastime in 2009, so I can't help but think that a lot of these people are indulging in a little revisionist history. Both the Angels' and Rangers' decisions made sense to me at the time. As it turned out, Texas' bet was a smart one and Vlad had one hell of a great season. I like Vlad a lot. He's had an amazing career and was one of the all time great Angels. I was really happy for him, watching him come back from last season and put together such great season (except for occasional at bats where he destroyed the Angels, natch). But I do not believe he would have had the same season if the Angels had offered more money and resigned him. Having something to prove is an extremely powerful motivator, even to the already talented and motivated.
Cut to the end of 2010, and suddenly the now financially sound American League Champion Texas Rangers have a lot more to lose. (And I am happy for them, by the way.) Now they are in a similar position to the one the Angels were in last year. Vlad had a great season but it was lopsided towards the first half. He was certainly winding down towards the end and, in the post season, really showed that his aging damaged knees are a defensive liability. In light of today's changed circumstances, exercising a $9 million option for next season no longer looks like a great decision. Poof, free agent. Texas may still sign Vlad, but they don't want to pay $9 million to keep him and aren't afraid to risk losing him to avoid that.
I understand where Texas' management is coming but I would be lying if I said I'm not amused that, after Texas fans scoffed at the Angels for not offering Vlad as much money as they could to keep him, the Rangers are in essence doing the same thing. It's more than a little vindicating. Of course, if Vlad does go to another team, and finds that above and beyond motivation again, I fully expect to see a similar post to this one on a Rangers blog about this time next year. Whatever happens, I wish Vlad all the best and hope he can scratch out a few more great seasons on a team that makes him happy.
2 Comments
It might just be a blessing for Vlad that the option was denied.
In baseball sometimes weird things happen, but someone like Vlad will have a job come this Spring.,,,somewhere.
But with his limited mobility displayed in RF while with the Rangers, he might be entering that "DH" only phase of his career.
The guy can hit the ball in or out of the strikezone, so suitors will be there for him. Heck, once saw him take his bat like a nine iron and wrap one around the RF foulpole against the Rays. That kind of talent doesn't sit home in May.
Rays Renegade
Rays Renegade – Yeah, Vlad was and still is amazing. He took one of those 9-iron swings at a ball that came in so low it almost grazed the plate this year when the Angels were playing the Rangers at Arlington and knocked it into the little 8 in gap between the out of town scoreboard and the stands for a home run. My husband and I often joke that if the pitcher rolled the ball to Vlad with sufficient speed, he could probably send it flying for a base hit.🙂
What you say makes sense and I hope this does turn out to be a good thing for him, whether with the Rangers for less money or any of the other teams you mention.

Research shows that the physical environment can contribute to better health outcomes. But what particular design features do this? Are there specific rules to follow? For example, are there certain colors that work best or specific materials to use?
Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast guidelines on what to do in all cases, because so much depends on the situation: what the site is like, personal preferences, the budget, the cultural context, and many other factors.
Architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture are problem-solving processes that begin by listening and understanding the needs and preferences of those who will use the space. Often there are competing priorities that need to be considered (for example, the need for staff to have bright lighting to see what they are doing versus the desire of patients to have softer lighting). Thus, the design proposal often provides a range of options to consider.
It is true that while the situations differ, architects and interior designers all work with the same elements and principles of design.
Designers manipulate the elements and principles of design for different effects. For example, if they want to convey stability, they aim for symmetrical balance. If they want to break up monotony in a design and make it more dynamic, they add asymmetrical elements. Thus, depending on the situation, they use the elements and principles differently to meet the diverse needs and desires of each client.
Designers apply research or guidelines from various areas in their designs. These include:
Proxemics. This is the study and application of personal space zones-how close we like to be to other people. This differs depending on our relationship to other people and our culture. (For example Americans like 4 to 12 feet between someone they know socially, but not personally.) If we don't have this amount of space, we become uncomfortable and even anxious. So designers need to allow this amount of space between chairs in public places and understand cultural differences that affect this phenomenon.
Ergonomics/Human Factors. This is the study of how well the space, furniture, and other features fit the human body and how well they facilitate the tasks that need to be done in that space. Designers need to make sure the furniture and other elements they select are comfortable and help staff efficiency and accuracy.
Building Codes. These are sets of rules that specify the minimum acceptable level of safety for constructed buildings. The main purpose of building codes is to protect public health, safety, and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures. The building code becomes law of a particular jurisdiction when formally enacted by the appropriate authority. All building design must meet specific state and federal regulations. The regulations vary by state and jurisdiction in each state.
For healthcare buildings, minimum standards to aid in the design and construction are listed in the book, 2006 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities. State authorities overseeing the building construction process may adopt these guidelines.
Green Guidelines. The goal of these guidelines is create buildings that nurture the health of not only the patients and staff in the building, but also the surrounding community and environment. They follow these basic principles: build only what you need, reuse when you can, and use natural resources.
Research-Based Design/Evidence-Based Design. Research is increasingly impacting the design and construction of healthcare facilities. While research in design is not new, it is only recently impacting design decisions. Organizations, such as the Center for Healthcare Design [4], are helping to provide information to the general public and working with higher education institutions to identify already published research and to create frameworks for the additional research needed.
Designers may also follow a particular theory of design that influences how they manipulate the elements and principles. Below are a few examples:
Environmental Preference: This theory holds that people prefer scenes that are engaging and interesting rather than simple or boring. It presents a framework organized according to four elements that people look for in the environment. Designers following this theory aim for:
Gestalt Theory: This theory maintains that people generally like the following in visual stimuli and that designers should attempt to follow these laws:
Feng Shui: This is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony. This theory applies the following concepts:

How do I know if I have a pimple on my penis or if I have an STD?
The other day when I was urinating, I felt a little bump on my penis. I squeezed it and a whitehead came out...just like a pimple. Since then, the "pimple" got bigger and irritated. It's the first time it has happened to me...should I be worried?

Never thought I'd see the day in our area in which the city segregated its citizens due to the area in which one lives. I've been a resident and registered voter of Bee County since '92 and lived in the county for more than 90 days. I've gone out and voted in past elections. But to my surprise on May 1, 2013, I was DENIED my right to exercise my vote due to the area in which I live, Capehart – not within the city, but the city bills us for sewer, garbage and water, and our rates are close to $15 higher per services being charged to us. We go to City Hall to make payments and our money is good.... Now I go to vote on this water bond issue, and my vote is not good because I don't live in the city, although we receive city services.
What are we now – the city's stepchildren who aren't treated equally for services that will affect us? As of the past two months, our utilities have increased approximately $30 without us even voting for services they now list on our utility bill as services we allegedly use. This is the city's way of legally extorting money from their citizens, and when it comes time to cast your vote, you're either allowed or denied, depending on where you live, even though you receive city services and you're registered voters.
So with all this, I ask my fellow citizens and all who receive city services not to allow the city to segregate us and deny us our right to place our vote, because in the end, everyone is and will be affected on the outcome of the election, whether it be good or bad. In order to come out ahead, we must stand united.... and stand for our right to vote no matter where we live in the county because this will not only affect the city and its merchants but the county in general and all its residents and property owners.

Retiring North Central College associate professor Thomas Williams was awarded emeritus status at North Central's Commencement ceremonies on June 12. A resident of Naperville, he was named Associate Professor of Biology Emeritus.
Williams came to North Central College in 1981 from Washington State University, where he received a doctorate in zoology. He earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Willamette University and master's in biology from Drake University.
His expertise in zoology focused on salamander anti-predator mechanisms and he ignited a passion for scientific research in his students by including them in his laboratory and field projects, conference presentations and publishing. Many students who went on to graduate school in the sciences were inspired by his research and mentoring. Williams' articles appeared in "The Journal of Herpetology" and "The Journal of Experimental Zoology," and in 1988 he was awarded North Central's Dissinger Award for Distinguished Teaching by his students and peers.
Williams taught a wide range of courses for biology majors, non-majors and graduate students, including introductory biology, zoology, the biology of dinosaurs, landmark discoveries in natural science, evolution and uses and abuses of science. He also served as advisor to the biology honor society Beta Beta Beta, as chair of the biology department and supervised numerous senior honors theses.
About Williams, fellow faculty member David Horner, Harold and Eva White Distinguished Professor in the Liberal Arts and professor of chemistry and physics, said, "Tom is passionate about his subject and passionate about teaching, but what made Tom special is the extent to which he enjoyed his students. He really cared about each student's development as a person, as well as developing their talents as scientists."
Founded in 1861, North Central College is an independent, comprehensive college of the liberal arts and sciences that offers more than 55 undergraduate majors and graduate programming in six areas. Located in Naperville, Ill., North Central is recognized as one of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report, which cites it as one of the top six schools in the Midwest for "Strong Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching"; as "a college for high-achieving students" by Peterson's Competitive Colleges; and as one of "America's Best Colleges" by Forbes.

Apple Headphone Jack EXCLUSIVE Parts Photo: could it be an iPad Mini Part Leak?
Posted on September 4, 2012
The sources at Fix-iPhones.com have once again provided the techs at RepairLabs with exclusive photos. We believe that these photos are genuine headphone jack components from the much-anticipated iPad Mini, rumored to be released this September.
In contrast to previously released parts photos from Nowhereelse.fr and iResq.com, we think these photos are more likely to be the real deal.
Supporting Evidence for Genuine iPad Mini Part:
Picture 1 (Leaked Headphone Jack Images)
- Very similar to iPad 3 headphone jack
- It's short and stumpy: would take up less real estate in iPad mini
- Black, not gold—black is the standard Apple color of parts
- This is a complete part ready for assembly into device
- Standard Apple barcode visible on back
- Exact yellow adhesive as used in previous iPad parts
- Many similarities to iPad 3 (see below.)
Leaked Photo's Similarities to iPad 3 Headphone Jack
- Both have slide flex cables that connect the logic board
- The headphone jack makeup is very similar
- The connection from the Leaked Photos strongly resemble the logic board of the iPad 3
- Same cable type: Black color and "lined."
- Opposite side: you can see a real example of the barcode typical to Apple Products
Problems with the Other Images as Genuine iPad Mini Photos
- Not a complete part, in that it has no port on it
- No barcode
- We think this looks like a mark-up part, used for testing before the final design
- This photo they indicates that the headphone jack is going to be in close proximity to the charger port.
- The home button flex positioning puts it at risk for tearing when disassembled.
- Doesn't detail Apple Barcode very well
- A copper colored coating, rather than the typical flat black. Apple hasn't used this color since iPhone 2G. Apple is known for its crisp black cables
- Also show the headphone jack close to charger port
- The home button flex appears to be positioned underneath the charger port such that it would be at high risk for tearing when disassembling the device
One major difference between our photos and the others are that ours show the traditional setup: the headphone jack with a bit of distance before the charger port. The images from iResq and Nowhereelese.fr suggest that the jack and port will be closer together, making the iPad Mini more like a smartphone in design. Who's right? That remains to be decided.
As we speculated earlier, in our post about the similarities between the upcoming iPhone and the 3GS, Apple may be reviving some oldies but goodies. This seems to be the case with the iPad Mini too, in mimicking the some of the successful design elements of the iPad 3, just in a cute little mini package.
Curtis is a tech expert and go to guy for Fix-iPhones.com.
1 Response to Apple Headphone Jack EXCLUSIVE Parts Photo: could it be an iPad Mini Part Leak?
It appears to me that this web site doesnt load up on a Motorola Droid. Are other folks getting the exact same issue? I enjoy this blog and dont want to have to skip it whenever Im away from my computer.

Hedgesville residents seek noise, safety relief
MARTINSBURG – After two years of safety concerns, Hedgesville residents are hoping that with the next Berkeley County Planning Commission meeting a solution will be found to restore their quality of life.
Since the establishment of the Tango Down Range LLC, located at 1391 Allensville Road in Hedgesville, residents who live near the range say they have been inundated with constant noise and safety concerns, such as finding bullets in their yards.
"I'm a military man. I don't mind small arms and black powder, but (one day) it was just full open automatic. We have our (2-year-old) niece who comes down to the pool, and we're really concerned about her safety," said Dave Starliper, who lives one ridge away from the range.
Starliper said he has heard bullets flying throughout the woods surrounding his house and has found at least four bullet projectiles on his property, two in his pool.
"It started two years ago, and we haven't had peace since," he said.
Equally concerned with the operations of Tango Down Range LLC are county officials and the Berkeley County Planning Commission, who for the past year have been trying to ascertain if the range has been operating legally.
"They have not requested a site plan approval at this point in time or submitted any types of applications. (Berkeley County Attorney Norwood Bentley) did do some investigating and found that they do not have an entrance permit, nor handicap facilities," said Mike Thompson, planning director.
According to Kimberly Shrader, Berkeley County engineer, efforts have been made to bring the range under compliance, such as issuing at least two stop work orders on the property in September 2011, both of which she said have been ignored.
"Engineering has put up two stop work orders, and they completely ignored us and tore them down. They also posted their hours right over the stop work sign," Shrader said.
With no representative from Tango Down Range LLC present at the previous commission meeting, members of the planning commission stated the range's defense is that they do have all necessary permits and are exempt from many requirements.
When contacted by The Journal, Jimmy McWilliams, owner of Tango Down Range LLC, replied that it was a matter for legal counsel and declined to comment.
At the previous planning commission meeting, members agreed to issue a letter to McWilliams, requesting his presence at Monday's meeting with proof that he possesses all necessary permits and granted exemption requests.
In a continuing show of unity for the cause, a group of more than 10 residents has been faithfully attending planning commission meetings in the hopes of finding a resolution to their concerns.
"When I'm throwing a baseball in the yard with my son, we have to be yelling just to be able to hear each other," said Douglas Webb, whose house is directly across from the range. This isn't something that starts up during hunting season. This is year-round."
Sympathetic with the homeowners' concerns, commission members also plan to contact the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department, which is the only entity that can address the noise ordinance complaints the residents have raised.
"This has been cooking for a year and a half.
"I'm a little surprised that we haven't pursued this a little more aggressively then we have, to be honest. It seems to me that we ought to put some energy behind getting this resolved as quickly as possible," said Gary Matthews, planning commission member.

MONTPELIER The City Council plans to decide Jan. 24 whether to put a new tax on the March ballot that would provide additional funding to Montpelier Alive.
The new funding stream would help with streetscape improvements downtown and expand Montpelier Alives marketing with regional print and radio advertising, extending the organizations marketing to the Montreal area.
Were asking you to actually create a taxing authority to raise the money, Montpelier Alive board member Sarah Jarvis said at Wednesdays council meeting, when the downtown promotion organization first presented the proposal to the council.
Montpelier Alive pressed the council to decide that night whether to endorse the new tax for the March ballot. But the measure was tabled, with Mayor John Hollar citing council member Tom Golonkas absence as a major hold-up. The mayor said the whole council should weigh in.
Jarvis expressed concern that if the council didnt vote that night, the organization wouldnt have time to obtain the nearly 700 signatures needed to put the question to voters in March if the council refused to add it to the ballot.
Hollar warned the nonprofit not to bypass the council with a petition drive. He said the measure should be policy-driven, having the support of the council.
But Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center owner Fred Bashara said the group should gather the necessary signatures, which the council required for Kellogg-Hubbard Library and Green Mountain Transit Agency.
Alan Weiss was the only council member to say he opposed the tax. Hollar suggested hes receptive to the idea but said he would need the entire council to weigh in.
Montpelier Alive would oversee the $75,000 generated by a 4.5-cent increase in the tax rate on certain downtown commercial properties.
Jesse Jacobs of Montpelier Property Management spoke at the meeting, characterizing an implementation of a tax with so many uncertainties as irresponsible. He said he supports improving the downtown but that he could see waiting a year on the measure so more information could be available. The Jacobs family is the biggest landowner in the downtown area.
Others suggested more information is needed about how accountability would be assured and advertising dollars would be tracked to show their effectiveness.
Montpelier Alive does not plan to gather signatures for a petition, Jarvis said Thursday.
Hollar said of the proposal: This is not a huge amount of money, but I think it has the potential to really make a difference.
He also said the council didnt necessarily need to have all the details in place to make a decision.

- Abstract
- Background: The development of e-mental health interventions to treat or prevent mental illness and to enhance wellbeing has risen rapidly over the past decade. This development assists the public in sidestepping some of the obstacles that are often encountered when trying to access traditional face-to-face mental health care services. Objective: The objective of our study was to investigate the posttreatment effectiveness of five fully automated self-help cognitive behavior e-therapy programs for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (PD/A), obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder (SAD) offered to the international public via Anxiety Online, an open-access full-service virtual psychology clinic for anxiety disorders. Methods: We used a naturalistic participant choice, quasi-experimental design to evaluate each of the five Anxiety Online fully automated self-help e-therapy programs. Participants were required to have at least subclinical levels of one of the anxiety disorders to be offered the associated disorder-specific fully automated self-help e-therapy program. These programs are offered free of charge via Anxiety Online. Results: A total of 225 people self-selected one of the five e-therapy programs (GAD, n = 88; SAD, n = 50; PD/A, n = 40; PTSD, n = 30; OCD, n = 17) and completed their 12-week posttreatment assessment. Significant improvements were found on 21/25 measures across the five fully automated self-help programs. At postassessment we observed significant reductions on all five anxiety disorder clinical disorder severity ratings (Cohen d range 0.72–1.22), increased confidence in managing one's own mental health care (Cohen d range 0.70–1.17), and decreases in the total number of clinical diagnoses (except for the PD/A program, where a positive trend was found) (Cohen d range 0.45–1.08). In addition, we found significant improvements in quality of life for the GAD, OCD, PTSD, and SAD e-therapy programs (Cohen d range 0.11–0.96) and significant reductions relating to general psychological distress levels for the GAD, PD/A, and PTSD e-therapy programs (Cohen d range 0.23–1.16). Overall, treatment satisfaction was good across all five e-therapy programs, and posttreatment assessment completers reported using their e-therapy program an average of 395.60 (SD 272.2) minutes over the 12-week treatment period. Conclusions: Overall, all five fully automated self-help e-therapy programs appear to be delivering promising high-quality outcomes; however, the results require replication.

Brattleboro police officer justified in use of fatal force, AG office says
MONTPELIER A Brattleboro police sergeant who teaches Vermont police officers on the use of force was himself exonerated of any criminal wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during an April drug raid, after an investigation by the Vermont attorney generals office.
A separate review by Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage came to the same conclusion.
Sgt. Mark Carignan was justified in his use of fatal force in the early morning of April 4 at a Brattleboro motel during the execution of a search warrant, both reports stated.
Carignan shot Michael Santiago, 35, twice with his shotgun after Santiago refused to obey Carignans commands to show his hands, according to the attorney generals release issued Thursday.
Santiagos female companion, who witnessed the incident, gave an identical version of the mornings events as Carignan and other officers, the report stated.
Carignan, who was placed on administrative leave immediately after the fatal shooting, had returned to full-time duty with the Brattleboro Police Department on May 26, about seven weeks after the shooting. Im pleased with the conclusion of the attorney generals report, he said, referring all comment to his attorney, David Williams of Burlington.
Williams said Carignan was an instructor at the Vermont Police Academy on the use of force and when force is justified.
He is not a firearms instructor, Williams said.
Williams, who is representing a Winooski police officer who is being prosecuted by the attorney generals office for excessive use of force, said the investigation and report were fair.
Sgt. Carignan was completely cooperative with the police investigation, and he sat down and told the state police what happened. Hes been waiting for a decision, said Williams.
Assistant Attorney General John Treadwell, head of the criminal division, said a review of the totality of the circumstances and a review of what information Carignan had at the time were determining factors in his offices conclusion.
Santiago had resisted allowing police into his motel room, and then kept his right hand concealed behind his back. He refused Carignans orders to show his hand and warned him if he didnt, he might be shot.
In response, Santiago advanced towards the officers while moving his right shoulder and arm an officer described the motion as being consistent with drawing a firearm, according to the attorney generals release.
Carignan then shot Santiago twice with his shotgun, the report stated.
Police had been told by other law enforcement agencies that Santiago and his companion, Amanda Piermarini, had recently bought firearms, the report stated.
No weapons were found in the room, and Santiago was unarmed.
Police had a search warrant for Santiagos person and his room at the Americas Best Inn in Brattleboro and were looking for evidence of drug dealing and to arrest him for violating conditions of release for two pending cases. They found 10 bags of heroin in Santiagos boxer shorts, as well as $2,000 in cash in a dresser drawer.
Santiago had recently gotten out of jail, and was facing 16 charges in Brattleboro criminal court including a charge of an aggravated assault of a Brattleboro police officer and eight counts of credit card fraud. He also had a pending heroin trafficking case in Burlington.
Marthage said that the critical issue for her in deciding Carignans use of force was justified was reviewing the preparation the police officers went through for the search warrant, and the information they received from other law enforcement sources that Santiago had recently bought guns.
Police, before executing the search warrant on Santiagos room, were very thorough, she said. This wasnt something that was quickly decided upon and there were a number of planning sessions, she said.
It is standard in such cases that police officers carry shotguns, she said.
It was a very detailed and thorough investigation, Marthage said.

Those who seek proof that Pennsylvania is one of the most beautiful states in America need look no further than photographer Michael Gadomski's newest book, "Reserves of Strength," which takes its title from Rachel Carson's statement: "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
With an eye for the exquisite, the spirit of an explorer and a determination to photograph much of what makes the Keystone state so special, Gadomski shares stunning images in this lush hardcover. Satisfyingly presented with minimal, though informative text and full-blown photos, the book features Pennsylvania wildlife, landscapes, flora, fungi, waterways and more. Neatly organized into chapters focusing on specific regions within the state, readers can refer to introductory maps for context.
Gadomski opens by offering a historical perspective on the unique wild areas of the state, including many of the 120 state parks and 2.2 million acres of state forest in PA. "Our parks, forestlands, and nature reserves not only protect and conserve our natural resources, but are also considered a fundamental health resource in disease prevention and for restorative capabilities," he writes. "They are reserves of strength for our own wellbeing."
Gadomski concludes with a thoughtful reflection on what is at risk should we shirk our roles as caretakers, and a final encouragement to close the book's cover and get out to enjoy those resources.
A native of Wayne County who worked as a PA State Park ranger and naturalist for more than 25 years, Gadomski is also a writer and photographer with three previous coffee-table books to his credit—two focused on PA and another on the New York Catskills. Meet the author in person during Hawley Winterfest on December 7, when he will be signing copies of his books at the Hawley Public Library between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Visit www.mpgadomski.com [2] to learn more.

October 12, 2011 —
The second of two public hearings on the proposed zoning rewrite for the Town of Tusten brought out more than 80 people with 49 of them stepping up to the microphone to weigh in on the matter. Of that number, about 45 spoke out in opposition to gas drilling, or in favor of retaining Article 14 in the proposed changes, which would prohibit high-impact industrial uses such as gas drilling in the town.
Critics of Article 14 have said that it could lead to a lawsuit, as it has in the towns of Dryden and Middlefield in other areas of the state, but supporters were not swayed by the argument and urged members of the zoning rewrite committee and the town board to stand firm and retain Article 14.
Peter Comstock, one of a handful of individuals from neighboring towns to speak, said Tusten could adopt Article 14, "and never receive a direct challenge; even if challenged, the town could make a decision whether to retreat or whether to engage and, if so, how far to take it and the resources available."
Narrowsburg resident Cass Collins read a statement from her husband Jim Stratton, a former chairperson of Community Board One in Manhattan who was involved in rezoning in Tribeca and Soho. He wrote, "A court overturning the right of a local community to zone its land would threaten every community zoning resolution in this country… towns that don't fight will succumb; those that do will likely be defended in court by heavy hitters on our side."
Lawyer David Slottje, who helped to write Article 14, said the largest law firm in upstate New York, Bond Schoeneck & King, had publicly said that if this issue reaches the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, the court would rule that communities have the right to adopt this kind of zoning. The opinion, he said, was shared by the law firm of Whiteman, Osterman & Hanna LLP, which reviewed the proposed zoning, and also by the New York State Association of Towns.
Olivia Grady, a 16-year-old student, said Tusten should be teaching other towns how to fashion their own version of Article 14, because pollution upriver comes down. She said, "You can't just protect one portion of the river... it's all connected."
Businessman Ned Lang, who is running for a seat on the town board, took the other side. He said that, in part because people in the United States are too dependent on foreign sources of oil, he is "pro gas."
Other concerns
While the overwhelming number of comments related to gas drilling and high-impact uses, some other concerns were also brought up. The number of dogs allowed to be kept in one house would be dropped from five to three. Also the new regulations, as written, would prevent homeowners from storing on their property more that one recreational vehicle at a time, which would mean that if a resident has a boat on the property, the resident, for instance, could not have a snowmobile or camper.
Additionally, home businesses would be limited to having two employees, and could have no signage and no retail sales.
The bookkeeper referendum
Supervisor Peg Harrison said that the referendum regarding whether the bookkeeper should remain an appointment to be made by the supervisor or be changed to allow the full town board to have input on the selection will not be on the ballot in November.
According to Harrison, the county did not receive the language, which had to have been approved by the full board, in time to make it onto the November ballot.
Council member Carol Wingert made the motion in August to hold the referendum in November, but there was no vote to change the language. The Sullivan County Board of Elections told the town clerk Kathy Michell to run the language of the referendum past the town attorney, Jeff Clemente. Harrison got the language back from Clemente on September 15 but, by then, it was too late to get the question on the ballot.

More About:
Agriculture is full of mind-spinning new products, technology and trends that promise big changes for Midwest crop farmers. The editors at Farm Industry News have pulled together an informal list of the people, products, ideas and trends that may make your operation more efficient and more profitable in the future. Check out "what's new and what's next" to help you get ready for this new era of high-stakes farming.
Autonomous tractors
Tractors that drive themselves with a computer in control are nearly here. Some equipment manufacturers have experimented with driverless tractors but have not taken them beyond the research stage. The big problem is that the tractor must sense when a person, animal or object is near and stop or move around it. There is little room for error. But guidance technology has advanced a great deal in the last few years. Autonomous tractors can't be far away, especially for tedious fieldwork.
So much has already been said about biofuels that is seems a bit redundant to say anymore. But rest assured, biofuels will continue to be critical in the next decade, and it will take all kinds to fulfill our massive fuel demand — from ethanol and biodiesel to canola and sunflower oil.
Biomass harvesters
For years, the problem has been how to get rid of excess crop residue so it doesn't affect crop emergence. Now, alternative fuel makers have another use for biomass, and equipment companies are scrambling for ways to handle it. The key question for manufacturers is if they should modify existing equipment, develop new prototypes or design totally different machines to collect biomass. Growers can expect to see biomass machines that look a lot like the windrowers and choppers of days gone by but with a new name and higher price tag. It turns out that alternative fuels may keep more than just farmers in business.
Controlled traffic
Just how much does compaction affect your crop yields? It may be a lot. University studies show that the weight of today's supersized machinery is compressing the soil like cold-press coffee. Compacted soil robs a crop of potential yield. Innovators like Iowa farmer Clay Mitchell started experimenting with "controlled traffic." He found that by strictly following the same wheel tracks in his fields, he could keep soil compaction to a minimum and reduce the overall area being compacted. Now the term "controlled traffic" is starting to pop up at different ag conferences. It is considered an innovative way to limit compaction to designated areas between the crop rows, leaving the soil between the wheels just as light as Mother Nature intended.
Drought-tolerant crops
Seed geneticists found the easy traits first, and now they are working overtime on the tough ones. Drought tolerance will be the mother lode, though, for the first seed company to master this tricky set of genes. The winner of this race will have products in high demand. The major seed companies all expect to produce drought-tolerant hybrids and varieties in the next decade.
E Premium tractor
During a snowstorm when the electricity goes out, an owner of the new John Deere 7430 E Premium tractor can pull up to the house and plug in an electrical cord for power. This new tractor is a change in direction for the equipment industry. The tractor generates electricity to run auxiliaries like air conditioning and will operate implements that are redesigned with electric motors. Without all the extras draining its power, the diesel engine can maximize its performance and save fuel. A side benefit of the tractor's generator is the ability to run power equipment wherever the tractor can go. The E tractor is scheduled for sale in Europe only.
Fleet management
As the average farm gets bigger, farm owners are finding they need a more sophisticated way to keep track of vehicles than driving around in their pickup to see why Larry hasn't showed up at the elevator. Large commercial growers will start adopting the technologies used in commercial trucking businesses to monitor and manage fleets from a single computer screen. The fleet management technology, called telematics, includes vehicle-tracking devices and software that show where all vehicles are located at all times.

Global warming
After the next election, expect to see more support for efforts to reduce global warming. This should include the promotion of carbon credits and the Chicago Climate Exchange. Farmers can take a leading role in this effort by farming with carbon-sequestering practices like minimum-tillage and receive payment for their efforts. The Climate Exchange is a trading system that handles the carbon credits. Although it is voluntary here, some countries enforce carbon emissions levels, and companies will purchase offsetting carbon credits if their emissions are too high. Time will tell if this becomes a mandate in the U.S.
Hydrogen fuel
The hydrogen fuel industry is growing out of its infancy and into a stage where ethanol was about 10 to 15 years ago. Auto manufacturers including Honda, Toyota, BMW, GM, DaimlerChrysler and Volkswagen are working on hydrogen internal combustion engines and fuel cell vehicles. BMW just built a small fleet of high-end hydrogen cars and presented one to California Governor Schwarzenegger.
Plenty of work is ahead. The hydrogen industry must work on energy-efficient ways to obtain hydrogen. Hydrogen gas may be produced from renewable sources like methane, ethanol, biomass and water or separated from water with electrolysis that is powered by wind and solar energy.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
October 3, 2012
WASHINGTON D.C. – Elected officials and higher education leaders from across the country joined Excelencia in Education at the U.S. Capitol today to honor The University of Texas at El Paso's Master of Business Administration program as America's top program for increasing academic opportunities and improving achievement for Latino students at the graduate level. The accompanying release of "What Works for Latino Student Success in Higher Education" is part of a portfolio of hundreds of evidence-based practices that institutions and policymakers can draw on to improve Latino student success.
Latinos will have to earn 5.5 million college degrees by 2020 for America to achieve President Barack Obama's goal of American world leadership in college degrees by 2020.
Over the past seven years, Excelencia in Education has systematically identified and evaluated more than 500 programs and departments that demonstrate with evidence that they effectively boost Latino enrollment, performance and graduation. Top honors this year went to programs run by Valencia College in Orlando, California State University Bakersfield, and The University of Texas at El Paso.
"America cannot become the world leader in college degrees, nor will it have a globally competitive workforce in the future, if it does not focus on improving Latino college completion," said Rep. Charles Gonzalez, Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who spoke at today's event.
"UTEP's Master of Business Administration program is at the forefront of meeting the challenge of improving higher educational achievement for Latino students," said Sarita Brown, president of Excelencia in Education. "With 2020 quickly approaching, we have accumulated a significant portfolio of evidence-based practices that institutions and policymakers can and must put into action."
"On behalf of the faculty, staff, alumni, and our current and future students, we accept and are honored by your recognition for work completed; and promise to hold the Excelencia in Education graduate program of the year award as a challenge for all of us to work even harder to ensure that our Latino students are served with access to the most advanced and competitive business education that we can provide. Only through excellence in educational preparation and experience can access serve well," said Robert Nachtmann, D.B.A., dean of the College of Business Administration.
The UTEP MBA Program is one of the largest AACSB-accredited producers of Hispanic MBAs in the country, educating more than 360 students annually, 59 percent of whom are Hispanic. The UTEP MBA Program meets the needs of full-time students and working professionals through its full-time, accelerated and executive MBA formats. Concerted efforts by program faculty and staff over the past seven years have resulted in tangible indicators of success. Student credit hours earned has grown by 82 percent. Hispanic graduates went from 27 in 2005 to 78 in 2011. Program graduates have enjoyed growing career opportunities with Fortune 500 companies as well as regional entities. These successes have been recognized by Hispanic Business magazine, ranking the UTEP MBA program No. 1 in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
"The UTEP MBA program is guided by the fundamental principle that talent is everywhere and that all talent should have an equitable opportunity to be realized," said Laura M. Uribarri, assistant dean for MBA programs. "That principle is reflected in the efforts and outcomes of our students, alumni, faculty and staff. It is an absolute honor to have our efforts and outcomes recognized by Excelencia in Education."

Kevin Wilson: Freedom Newspapers
The Ute Water Pipeline project has cleared Congress.
Senate Bill 22, commonly known as the Bingaman lands bill, contains 160 projects, including the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System.
The bill passed the House on a 285-140 vote Wednesday, and now heads to President Barack Obama's desk.
Sen. Jeff Bingaman, chairman of the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources committee and author of the bill, said he expects Obama to sign the bill next week.
The authorization allows the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority to seek funding through federal appropriations. The appropriation process begins in October.
But even though the Ute Water Project is poised to get started, completing the system that will pipe water to communities across eastern New Mexico is years away from becoming reality.
Officials estimate it could take at least a decade to complete right-of-way purchases and actually put the pipeline in place.
The Eastern New Mexico Water System bill allows the Bureau of Reclamation to spend up to $327 million to assist the authority in building the Ute Water Pipeline.
When completed, water from the Ute Reservoir in Quay County would be piped to the authority's entities — currently Clovis, Portales, Texico, Grady, Elida, Melrose, and Curry and Roosevelt Counties.
Clovis Mayor and ENMRWA Chair Gayla Brumfield said she was thrilled to hear the news, with authorization being one of the project's major hurdles.
The project would be funded 75 percent federally, 15 percent by the state and 10 percent by communities that are authority members.
The projected cost of the Ute pipeline is $432 million, and Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority members estimate it would take 10 to 12 years to complete.
"Some of these projects … it's clear it will take some significant time," Bingaman said. "That was anticipated when we drafted this legislation. We think we at least have a roadmap for how we can proceed to appropriate funds."
Brumfield is hopeful construction can start in the next six months on limited projects associated with the pipeline before appropriations come.
"We're also waiting to hear on some stimulus money on the intake," Brumfield said, "so that will be a help."
The measure gained the support of 274 Democrats (including all three New Mexico representatives) and 38 Republicans.
Four Democrats joined 136 Republicans in opposition.

Assembly set to vote on mining in March
Committee to vote on bill Monday
Republican leaders in the state Assembly say they'll probably vote on a contentious mining bill during the first week in March.
A spokesman for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said leaders are aiming for March 6.
The Legislature's budget committee is set to vote on the bill on Monday. Approval would clear the way for full votes in both the state Senate and Assembly. The Senate is expected to take up the bill on Wednesday.
Passage is all but certain. The GOP controls both houses and Republican Gov. Scott Walker backs the bill.
The proposal is designed to clear the regulatory path for a huge iron mine near Lake Superior. Democrats and conservationists say the bill will open the door to pollution that would ruin the pristine area.

Wild lands offer us a place for enjoyment, challenge and peace of mind, which is why veterans have found them to be ideal places for healing.
Cedar Breaks National Monument is located in Utah near Cedar City. The site was designated as a national monument in 1933.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced a major conservation campaign aimed at inspiring America's next generation of wilderness stewards, during a speech in San Francisco's Crissy Field on Thursday, Nov. 7.
Oil drilling on the doorstep of the historic site known as the "cradle of conservation" is a concept that doesn't sit well with many.
There are already lots of good reasons to keep our wildlands safe. Now, add one more to the list: to protect dinosaurs.
After a series of errors during the 2012 Arctic drilling season, Shell may scrap its multimillion-dollar Kulluk drill rig – which was damaged when it ran aground on New Year's Eve –
Visitors to the National Wildlife Refuge System contributed $2.4 billion to regional economies in 2011, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said Nov.
Don't have time for a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail? That's ok.
Utah's magnificent red rock canyon country was defended in federal court in early November when a judge struck down significant parts of a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Resource Management Plan, on the grounds that the plan violated federal environmental and historic protection laws.
Great news on an area we called Too Wild To Drill – Sen.
Tell Congress to designate the Arctic Refuge as wilderness to protect it from oil and gas development.

The Voting Rights Act was originally passed because of a bloody civil rights campaign that culminated in a march led by her father in Selma, Alabama, in 1965.
She says the court's decision was a reminder that certain freedoms cannot be taken for granted.
"My mother used to say that struggle is a never-ending process," she says. "You earn it and win it in every generation."
Making money off the legacy
The upcoming commemoration of the March on Washington is a mixed bag for the King children. They have been criticized for demanding a licensing fee from the group that led the successful campaign to build a monument of their father on the Washington Mall.
Critics say they should not have charged any fee for those who wanted to honor their father's legacy. Their point: Are the ancestors of Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln demanding money for their monuments?
"But Lincoln has been gone for 150 years," she says. "We're first generation who lost our parents, not our great, great, great, great grandfather."
She has heard such criticism for years. People have complained that the King children are more concerned about making money off their father's legacy than extending it.
If her family doesn't actively protect her father's image and likeness in the marketplace, she says, they will lose the ability to do so. She says the King family charged a licensing fee for the monument, but the huge sums bandied about are not true.
Then she turns the question back on those who would challenge the King family.
"Why does that matter? Why does it matter to you, whatever it is? We were deprived of our father. Had he been here, this wouldn't be an issue. Our father gave a lot to America.''
Feuding with her brothers
Her relationship with her brothers, Dexter King and Martin Luther King III, has also been criticized. Over the years, the siblings have sued and counter-sued one another over their parents' legacy.
When asked if she still talks to her brothers, she says, "Every now and then. We're family."
When asked to describe their current relationship, she says: "It's OK."
The tension among the King children is unfathomable to some. How can siblings who shared such a singular tragedy barely talk? She points to the children of South African leader Nelson Mandela, whose squabbling over their father's legacy makes headlines overseas.
"My question would be for the people that can't understand it is to look at their (own) families," King says. "Every family -- think about the Mandela family right now -- every family has its challenges. We're not immune. We're not superhuman."
She says some of the tension with her brothers may be rooted in gender.
"I'm the only female left in the family," King says. "I was closer to my mother and sister. ... Women and men are different."
When asked if she thinks she will ever become closer to her brothers, she says: "I don't know. I would hope so."
The 'mistake' march
Her father made history with marches, but one of Bernice King's most controversial public episodes came when she helped lead a march herself.
It was 2004, and she and Bishop Eddie Long -- senior pastor of an Atlanta megachurch -- were leading a march against same-sex marriage. Long, who once said that blacks have to "forget" racism because they have already reached the Promised Land, carried a torch during the march. It had been lit at an eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.'s grave.
The march was widely criticized by followers of her father. They pointed out that King's marches were about inclusion -- not excluding a group of people. They noted that one of his closest aides was Bayard Rustin, a gay man who was instrumental in planning the March on Washington.
Bernice King, who was an elder in Long's church at the time, later left the congregation after Long settled out of court with four young men who had accused him of coercing them into sexual relationships.

Re: Childress Allegedly Punches Kyle Busch Out
aws14 wrote:wolfgang wrote:Last year Kyle Bush took out a female rookie driver in the truck series during a restart just to quickly get the lead,to which there was no need.The fact Kyle hammered the side of the RCR owned #22 truck after the race was no congrads to the rookie,Kyle did not like the way he was passed and let the kid know it and the kid did nothing wrong! When you follow all three series and watch Kyle and what he does,he has caused alot of unneccessary damage to RCR/KHI race cars/trucks over the years as other teams and alot less experianced drivers as well.This by far does not make him comparable to the late Dale Snr.in anyway shape or form.Richard has been through it all over the years and maintained composer,this time it was the final move from the same driver to set him off.Personally,i'd like to take this time to thank Richard Childress for doing what i believe alot of team owners wanted to do themselves if they had it in them.Kyle has alot of talent,but he has been out of line several times before and i don't feel the least bit sorry for him as i would have beat the wise %ss to the ground if it were my teams! Nascar has done nothing with Kyle over the years,they do anything to Richard,i'm done with Nascar all together! Nascar let it esculate this far!
I do watch all three series. I don't recall anyone saying that there was anything more than a donut on the side of that truck. Even so, Childress had no business taking matters into his own hands, especially since Joey had no problem with any of it. Your attitude is part of what's wrong with this world, if something happens that you don't like, then violence is the answer. That's my opinion...
Kyle tried to move the kid onto the apron,there's alot more to it than a donut and as i said,this trouble has been brewing alot longer than this one incident or race. Violence is the last form of action,that's why we have wars,Richard obviously felt he had reached his end as Nascar has done nothing but let it esculate.Violence the answer,maybe not,when all else fails,what else is there? When you have the answer to that one,you'll have solved the worlds problems.My attitude may not suit your believes aws14,but that's the way i see the world and i really do wish it didn't have to be this way and you're right,the world would be a better place w/o violence,but that's a fantasy in my eyes and experiances in life.

DD is EBF, but we started her on solids about a month ago (no more than 4 teaspoons/day). Her "explosions" were still good. We drove back home for Thanksgiving (750 miles one way) about 12 hrs on the road. Her poopy diapers decreased some. The day we got back (last Saturday) she had 2 big explosions.
Then Tuesday, one so-so poopy diaper. Then just very hellacious farts!!
Thursday, we had her 6 month check-up/vax, and pedi said to give her a little bit of prune juice. DD didn't have much because she didn't like it!! But later that night, she had a good poopy diaper (seemed "pastey" to me).
And until today (Saturday), still no poop again
Is it normal for babies to have less poopy diapers once they start solids? Or is LO constipated? I don't hear her "struggling", grunting, straining, pushing, or trying to go poop Am I worrying too much?

Crash Avoidance Data
Trailer Stiffness Measurements
- Trailer stiffnesses were measured on eight trailers. The measurements were done by applying a moment to the front of the trailer and measuring the amount of twist at various points along the length of the trailer. These measurements give the overall stiffness, along with the suspension and trailer body stiffnesses. Stiffness Table
Measured Vehicle Inertial Parameters - NHTSA's Data Through November, 1998
- An updated version of NHTSA's Vehicle Inertial Parameter Measurement Database (VIPMD) is now available for download.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Light Vehicle Inertial Parameter Database contains measured passenger vehicle inertial parameters. This updated database contains the original 414 entries (as described in SAE paper No. 930897) plus an additional 82 new entries, for a total of 496. The majority of the entries contain complete vehicle inertial parameters, some of the entries contain tilt table results only, and some entries contain both inertia and tilt table results. The noted SAE paper provides a brief discussion of the accuracy of inertial measurements as well as selected graphs of quantities listed in the database for some of the 1998 model year vehicles tested.

Two Week Countdown
We are officially at the two-week mark! Only 14 days to go until I return to Clearwater for my second and consecutive Phillies Phantasy Camp.
Between last weekend's incredible freezing over of the field at Citizens Bank Park and today's 14-degree wind chill in New York City, nothing sounds better than playing a few baseball games in sunny Florida, rather than "the frozen tundra of Central Park's North Meadow #5…"
I'm even more excited to document my trip once again. This time the entries will not be so lengthy as I pretty much know what to expect. This time I'm going to focus more on the images and speaking to other Campers, especially the rookies, and getting their take on the whole experience. As excited as I am for myself, I'm even more thrilled for the people going for the very first time. Nothing will ever beat it…
