By BARBARA BOWERS Special to The Citizen
The flats fishing boat currently rests on its trailer beneath Linda and Lloyd Woodall's home at a canal entrance to Pine Channel. It gets occasional use in the busy current of their new home and new business venture, but in the foreseeable future, the dock behind 29150 Bougainvillea Lane will be rebuilt and upgraded with davits for quicker, easier fishing excursions.
"I have the vision, Lloyd makes it happen," said Linda, an interior designer who tends so much toward the visual that varying shades of blue paint stripes the side entrance to the cedar-stilt house the couple bought on Big Pine Key in March, 2011.
Linda says that while comparing the color stripes to decide which they liked best, neighbors walking by weighed in with their preferences, too. The final "blue" decision coats the front of the house, but an entire exterior paint job is on the agenda for the 1,000 square foot, 2-bed/2-bath fixer-upper.
Already fixed up is the kitchen half of the great room, redesigned by "the queen of repurposing.
"I found a used, $50 island that Lloyd rebuilt with bead board and added casters to make it moveable," Linda said. "The kitchen is designed around two corbels I've carted around for years."
Above the window and new Silestone countertops, the classic, distressed corbels become brackets that support a thick cedar shelf. Coming soon, their heft and permanence will be countered by a display of all-white China, which Linda envisions atop "shelves on each side... when I find the right wood," she said.
She found the right indoor dining table at Habitat for Humanity's ReStore, but finding the right house--particularly one that required some sprucing up--now that took some "convincing Lloyd because he mostly sees work, work, work," Linda laughed, then explained that their last big renovation project was their former house on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
The hands-on couple still owns a farm and vineyard on the Chesapeake, but the work, work, work ethic has shifted to their Big Pine home and a former patio furniture store--Pipe Dreams--which they also bought.
"Last year I helped Ed King with his going-out-of-business sale at Pipe Dreams, and just last month, Lloyd and I reopened it with the new name, Island Dreams," Linda said. "While we're expanding the store to include interior design products, we'll continue to carry outdoor furniture."
For instance, a new line of brightly colored Adirondack chairs featured in the Woodall's store dot the balcony of their home, and C&F bedding, Island Dreams' main linen line, spreads across the king-size beds in both bedroom suites.
In the guest bedroom, an unusual saw-blade headboard is handmade by a Chesapeake Bay artisan, who also made the cherry-wood dressers in the master suite. Both bathroom upgrades are on the honey-do list, but Linda swears she will personally repaint all shutter doors before Lloyd returns from a family and vineyard visit to Maryland in November.
Both of the spacious bedrooms highlight the shabby chic direction in which the overall interior décor is headed; a cottage-style décor, wherein furniture and furnishings are selected more for the appearance of age than for age itself.
"Ours is one of several fishing cottages built along the canal in the 1980s by a cedar-mill owner named Blair Mooney," Linda said. "They're all made of cedar, each is designed a little bit differently and our plan is to keep this one very cottage like."
To this end, lobster traps are the means to end tables, indoors and out. An old-wood mantle rests against a living room wall, awaiting its final location nearby the over-stuffed, slip-covered sectional pieces, and an oversized wooden goose, which came from an eastern Maryland waterfowl festival, dangles from a peak of the cathedral ceiling.
Even Mojo, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon who is a big hunting dog, and Mookie-the-Shih Tzu (a little more Key deer in size) contribute to the Eastern Shore and tropical Keys mix that is shaping up nicely at the Woodall place.
Of course, more stationary accents like the grouper-sculpted BAIT sign found in a Key West fly shop and various mermaids found in throw pillows and stained glass contrast with a collection of Victorian birdhouses.
"I have a mermaid fetish, but far more birdhouses," Linda admitted. "Initially, I found a white birdhouse in a second-hand store in St. Michael's, Maryland, and as I found more, I hand painted them."
These days, her hand-crafted pastel birdhouses are grouped in the Woodall's guest suite. Grouped at Island Dreams are the ornate, white birdhouses, which Linda sourced out for sale along with other unique accent items and casual furniture. Linda buys; Lloyd assembles and together, they're making a new business venture and a new home happen.

This is a discussion on dang those spyderco bites dont feel nice.... within the Defensive Knives & Other Weapons forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; To not high jack an earlier thread here ya go. I just got my new edc in the mail 20 minutes ago, its a spyderco ...
To not high jack an earlier thread here ya go. I just got my new edc in the mail 20 minutes ago, its a spyderco delica wave and as was stated earlier in the week "its not your knife till youve cut yourself". Haha well its definitely already my knife within the first 20 min. Trying to get used to all the mechanics of a new knife to replace my kershaw blur and what do you know its not real easy to close one handed!
I tried to and flicked a little too hard and the serrated part of the combo blade decided to embed itself right on my first knuckle!!!!! Probably could use a few stitches but I just started a new job and am waiting for the insurance to kick in so we will make do! Careful with those spydercos! They are as sharp as claimed right out of the box!
haha I just got it all bandaged up and no one here to take a pic(its on my right hand and im right handed) but maybe when the fiance gets back i can get her to take a pic...... after she stops laughing and making me feel like an idiot that is!
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
I prefer superglue over stitches.
Am I the only one who never cuts myself with my knives? The last time I cut myself must have been like 10 years ago whittling bamboo with an X-acto
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Remember the boy scout knives,I cut myself hundreds of times whittling sticks,dang blade would snap shut on my finger
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

Superglue works wonders, the people I usually get blades from send band-aids with the knives, its awfully thoughtful of them.

I own both the Delica (now called the Delica 3), and an Endura Waved. I also used to carry a Endura CE (now called the Endura 3 CE). I always one handed those knives. The kick is supposed to protect your finger. Just make sure your index finger is where it can catch the kick, and it should be fine. Of course, if your finger is too far back from the tang... Did that once myself not ten minutes after getting my orange Rescue Jr. Hadn't even left the store parking lot yet.
Never owned a knife that didn't have my blood on it.

Aloha yankeeman,
One of my co-workers did the same thing as you...but he was messing with my Spyderco Matriarch! Next thing i know, I hear my knife drop, see him holding his thumb leaving a blood trail, looking for the first aid kit!
One thing I advocate is this, regardless if the opening "device" is a Hole, disc, or stud: PRESS the knife opened. Find whatever it is with your thumb, be it disc or whatever, and "dig" into it a bit with some pressure and PRESS it open.
I have seen "flickers" not always get the knife opened due to wrong thumb placement, change in pressure, etc...However:
Once you learn how to PRESS the blade open, (by this I mean keep pressure on the blade while opening, until you hear the *click* assuring you it's locked open) you can then PRESS and DETACH...sorta like a flick, and the knife will open as fast as any auto, but you will keep you thumb SAFE because you will learn how to DETACH safely from your blade upon opening. *Trust me on this*.
I have seen a lotta flickers end up with thumb wounds...
God bless and take care!!!
I bought my Kershaw because while I was looking at it in the store I cut myself and bleed all over the knife and the counter. The guys behind the counter says, " I sell a lot of knifes this way".

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.

Independent Baptist Church Directory
This church directory has been removed because I can't keep up with how fast the independent Baptist churches in this country are compromising, especially on the issue of homosexuality. Instead the directory is being replaced with instructions on how to find the best church in your area:
1. Visit the Independent Baptist Church Locator known as Military Get Saved.
2. Click on your state in the left hand sidebar.
3. Use the "control-F" (PC) or "command-F" (MAC) feature to search the page for the word "soul." This will help you find the churches that are advertising soul-winning. These will usually be the best churches. (If you are having trouble using the "find" feature, it is usually in the "edit" menu.)
4. Physically attend (not call) all the soul-winning churches in your area until you decide on the best one.
We will still list a few outstanding churches here:

Where I stayed
Salta, or Salta la Linda (the beautiful) to give it its full name is a lovely city with lots of colonial buildings surrounding beautiful squares and is the sort of place where it is nice just to wander around and hang out in the many squares around the city. San Lorenzo is a nice village about 6km from the town of Salta, where those in the know seem to stay in preference to staying in the city of Salta.
We liked it so much the first time that we stayed at Casa Hernendez in San Lorenzo, that we decided to come back
San Lorenzo may be a village, but it boast a handful of restaurants and a few good delis to service the discerning locals and tourists. There are some very nice houses here. A local told us a little of the owners (ex-president/mayors etc) and a little of the prices - beautiful mansions at around 250,000 Sterling. Along the village main road there are often guys riding along on their horses (and sometimes with a cart attached) to get their shopping. For visitors it is easy to step further into the countryside. We decided to look at the countryside from that back of a couple of horses. Riding here was different to Chile. For a start the horses were much, much more docile, smaller and very lazy. The saddles, stirrups and style of riding also differed, but more of that later
The Museum on the main plaza of Salta, has an exhibit which is a 500 year old inca mummy. She is believed to have been 15 years old when sacrificed. Each year the Incas sacrificed one child by fattening them up for 4 months before, then given corn alcohol to induce sleep before they were left to die in the cold high in the mountain. This girl (and two younger children were found in 1999 in an icy pit on the side of a volcano. Photographs are not allowed in the museum, so I have found these on the web.
Often when we were in Salta we came across something happening in the Plaza - perhaps some horse guards parading, many a time we found a large band playing, or a cycle rally from Route 40, stopping off for a celebration, to name but a few of the events. Salta boasts a few cathedrals, which were truly splendid. Of course, there are many parillada restaurants. I think that we have possbily eaten at least a whole cow between us since we have been in Argentina.
On one of our days in Salta we take the cable car to the top of the mountain to take in the view of the city from above. Well worth the 12 pesos as the view is spectactular and, like so many of the cities we have been to in South America, Salta seems to be surrounded by mountains
On our final day at Casa Hernandez, we ask Alex to fix us up with an afternoons horse riding on a nearby Finca. A young guy (lets call him Jose because I can't remember his name!) calls by to pick us up. He is fresh out of college and keen to practise his English so as we drive to the Finca he explains that he has been riding ever since his mother put him on a horse when he was a baby. We talk about where we come from and discuss the relative prices of property in our two countries. As well as the current global banking crisis. Jose commented that "I hear things are really gloomy in London with all the banks going bust" and "we don't worry about that sort of thing here too much as it happens here every year" was a classic!
We arrive at the Finca and meet up with our trusty steeds and Jose allocates us each a horse. They don't seem as lively as the ones we rode in Chile, which, quite honestly is fine by me. Jose also points out that mine is a bit lazy and tells me that I shall have to kick him hard to get him going "you need to show him who is the boss". After more years than I care to remember in management I am quite use to being the "boss ", but try as I might this horse was not going to play ball
We continue our ride through the hills amongst the cattle. The Finca runs to 11,000 hectares (including part of the mountain) and the cattle here are the mothers and calves only, once they are old enough to be weaned they are sent off to another finca on a flatter terrain so the meat does not become too tough through all that walking up and down hills. As we ride back to the farmhouse I am still lagging behind. My horse and I have reached an understanding, He will go at the pace he chooses and I will point him in the right direction! Then as we ride down the hill, Carolyn's horse suddenly decides to lie down - with her still on its back! Carolyn is clearly very surprised by this and says "Shall I get off?" Erm! Yes I think so, the horse isn't going anywhere! Jose gets off and literally kick starts the horse, gallops him around a bit and swaps horses with Carolyn and we ride back. Suddenly my horse doesn't seem so lazy after all.
Back at the ranch we remove the tack from the horses and then the dogs take over and chase them back to their field - apart from in a race, I have never seen horses move so fast! They can do it after all!

A recent survey by Sage North America identifies the three biggest areas of concerns affecting cloud-based application adoption by small and midsize businesses.
"Software-as-a-Service: Managing Benefits for SMBs," identifies organizational issues, technology considerations and operational skills as three of the most critical areas affecting SaaS or cloud-based business application adoption by small and midsize businesses.
To benefit from cloud-based applications, companies must put an emphasis on:
- Organizational issues – Organizational issues and people continue to provide the majority of obstacles to successful SaaS implementations, according to the survey. Training beyond simple "how-to" instruction will aid adoption
- Technology considerations – Effective management of internal IT resources and/or external implementation partners is critical, since in most cases SaaS solutions must link with existing business systems
- Operational skills – IT skills will shift from software development and upgrading skills to systems integration knowledge. Also, financial management considerations must change as budgets shift from capital expenditures to operational expenditures.
"Our 2010 survey research indicates that CRM is one of the top five cloud-based applications being adopted by SMBs today, and is expected to lead SaaS adoption and deployment for SMBs through year-end 2012," said Robert McNeill, vice president of Saugatuck Technology, which authored the survey on behalf of Sage. Earlier this year, Saugatuck released the companion study, "Software-as-a-Service: Managing Key Concerns and Considerations," which found security, data integrity and customization to be top deployment concerns of SMBs.

The Tenacious Angela Ford
At 5-foot-3 and "just north of 100 pounds," Angela Ford, the 2011 Alumni Fellow from the College of Arts and Sciences, might not be an imposing physical presence. But she's more than capable of making a strong impression.
As a UofL political science student in the early 1980s, Ford was elected the first female president of the Student Government Association where she immediately impressed members of the university's board of trustees with her tenacity. This included then-chairman and chief executive of Humana David Jones, who was on the UofL board at the time.
"She was tiny but had a big brain and a big heart, and a lot of moxie," Jones recalls.
Those qualities have served the 51-year-old Lexington lawyer well beyond UofL during a sterling legal career recently highlighted by her successful 5-year fight to expose one of the biggest legal scandals in U.S. history—the theft of tens of millions of dollars from Kentuckians injured by the diet drug fen-phen.
The case culminated with the sentencing of disbarred lawyers William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham Jr. to long prison terms and a court order of $127 million in restitution to her 423 clients, who previously were represented by those same lawyers.
Advocate for What's Right
Ford grew up in Louisville's Audubon Park neighborhood, one of eight children of John H. Ford, now 87, and Gladys Ford, 80. "She became a strong advocate for what she thinks is the right thing to do," said her mother, who is a former assistant to the UofL dean of music.
After earning her political science degree at UofL in 1982, Ford attended the University of Kentucky before earning her law degree at Northern Kentucky University and then eventually setting up her law practice in Lexington.
Fellow lawyers applaud Ford's perseverance in the fen-phen case, one that many say was a long-shot challenge against targets that included a judge once named Kentucky's co-judge of the year.
"If somebody had come into my office with this case, I would have said, 'You've got to be kidding,' " says Louisville trial lawyer Gary Weiss. "She took a difficult case and spent a fortune of time and money, and (has) done a service to her clients and society.
"She ought to get the lawyer of the year award, maybe lawyer of the decade."
Ford will be honored as the A&S Alumni Fellow along with alumni fellows from other UofL schools and colleges at the 2011 Alumni Awards Banquet and Ceremony, Oct. 27, at the Galt House in Louisville. The reception starts at 6 p.m.; dinner and ceremony at 7 p.m. For information on how to attend, call (502) 852-6186.

Headline inflation may have been low from 1993 to 2009 but, even in this time, changes in the relative prices of different goods altered the profile of households' living costs beyond recognition. Transport costs rose 115 percent from 1988 to 2010 while clothing costs fell by 50 percent. A generation rich in housing and relatively poor in consumer goods has been replaced by one that is relatively rich in consumption and housing-poor.

First Posted at Not Running a Hospital on 3/25/2013
Massachusetts is home to health policy researchers of the highest order. Some have pointed out the flaws and the unintended consequences of applying financial penalties to the rate of readmissions experienced by hospitals. Beyond Massachusetts, other researchers have pointed out the statistical meaninglessness of such comparisons. Nonetheless, the state government stubbornly insists on applying such penalties based on the experience of Medicaid patients.
The MA Hospital Association is doing its best to reverse this action, but people on Beacon Hill don't seem to be listening. Here is the most recent MHA statement on this subject:
Reducing readmissions at hospitals is a goal that every hospital in Massachusetts is committed to. Deliver high-quality care with strong follow-up care and other proven strategies that involve patients and their families and you may be able to prevent readmissions to a hospital. But hospitals can't control all the factors that can influence a readmission.
That is, a patient may be readmitted to a hospital within days of his discharge, but for an ailment entirely unrelated to the first admission. But these could be counted as a readmission under some measurement approaches. Some readmissions are scheduled readmissions, but they too could be counted. And some patients and their families even fail to follow discharge instructions for taking medicine or avoiding certain foods, and wind up back in the hospital. That's counted as a readmission too and can result in payment penalties for the hospital.
Couple these pitfalls with the fact that there is not a widely accepted tool for measuring readmissions, and you're left with ever-increasing penalties against providers for readmissions that are hard to measure and over which they may have no control.
The FY2012 MassHealth acute hospital RFA contract between hospitals and the state introduced a new preventable readmission penalty for certain hospitals that MassHealth has determined to have higher-than-expected preventable readmission rates. More than 20 hospitals were given a 2.20% reduction to their inpatient reimbursement rate in FY2012. In FY2013, the administration increased the penalty to 2.4%, 3.4%, and 4.4% for 31 hospitals. The penalty applies to all the hospital's discharges, not just readmissions. A score of cases can produce millions of dollars in penalties to an already financially stressed hospital. The MassHealth penalties can apply against hospitals that are doing a lot to address readmissions and which deal with some of the most challenging patient populations. Add to these problems the fact that MassHealth uses data that is several years old and doesn't reflect the current effectiveness of hospital efforts.
MHA opposes the original penalty as well as the increases and argues that it is time to step back from the penalty mindset and look at a reasonable approach to readmissions.
"The current penalty is seriously flawed from both a public policy and a methodological perspective. It unfairly punishes hospitals without advancing the objective of reducing preventable readmission," said MHA's Executive V.P. Tim Gens. "It may work as budget-cutting initiative for the state, but it does little to promote better patient care. It is clear that addressing readmission requires collaboration among the community of participants in healthcare delivery – not arbitrary and punitive measures against hospitals.
"The application of this penalty across all payments for inpatient services results in an unwarranted punishment that is far greater than the amounts actually paid by MassHealth to the hospital for the so-called 'excess' readmissions themselves," Gens continued. "The data the state relies upon to determine each hospital's performance is three years old, the methodology the state uses to identify preventable readmissions has not been approved by the state's own panel of experts, and it is clear that hospitals do not control all of the factors that contribute to readmissions."
In its budget letter to House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Brian Dempsey (D-Haverhill), MHA has requested that the House, in its FY14 budget proposal, direct MassHealth to use a more equitable system for assessing penalties related to preventable readmissions; an appropriate penalty would limit it to only those readmissions above the expected number calculated by MassHealth. Hospitals exceeding the expected number would face up to a 75% penalty for those readmissions that exceed the expected rate. MHA also believes consideration should be given to hospitals that have made important advances in reducing preventable readmissions by requiring EOHHS to limit penalties for those hospitals that have shown demonstrable progress.

The dog walked down the street II
Poem by: sowosamma25
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
The dog walked down the street.
He walked to the park between Glen Cove and Seacliff.
He liked this park.
Benches where he could take a rest, waterfountains where he could sip some fresh water and there he could see his flag, the one he loved so much, waving in the wind.
Lying flat on his back, listening to the beautiful sound of the birds while watching the leafs of the trees waiting for being able to glimpse the blue sky.
It was a good place and he needed such a place
cause he had so much time to kill.
For the dog this whole area was pretty new.
He got there cause he was looking for his soulmate.
Some time ago something told him that she was there.
So he packed all that he couldn´t leave behind and got on this trip.
Anyway, back to his park where he used to hang out almost every day he was there.
One day when he was again on his way towards his park
he saw this bird lying in the street.
The wind moved the birds feathers so you could think he was still alive
but the dog felt and knew that the bird was dead.
Still 40 feet away from the bird, tears shot in the dogs eyes.
Somehow he felt happy cause he knew that this bird was now at a better place
but at the same time he was so sad cause
the world had to live from that moment on without this birds very unique and special, beautiful voice.

Date of Stay: September, 2006
The RV park is considerably cheaper than staying at the nearby state park. It has graveled sites and good sized trees (no grass). There's a storm shelter, so you don't need to worry about tornados. It's just 3 miles to town and handy to the lake. They have a clubhouse for rallies or to rent out. The staff was very obliging and helpful.
Date of Stay: September, 2006
We got the Passport rate, so our site was graveled, but the regular sites are paved. It was the longest site we've ever had, so no problem as a pull-through. Sure wish they'd had the wi-fi. Very nice park!
Date of Stay: September, 2006
We liked this open RV park (easy to get satellite reception). I wish we could have stayed for the weekend entertainment. My only disappointment was the charge for the wi-fi. Also couldn't get good reception on our Verizon cell phones.
Date of Stay: June, 2006
This park is as close as you can get to DC and Baltimore, I think. We ran into a little problem as they'd booked us into too small a site without the amenities we'd requested. That required negotiating to get a site at all and then moving 2 days later to a site with full hookups. Not convenient, once you are set up. Otherwise it's a fine place.


text: by Kent Harrington Apr 11, 2014 Comments (0) AIChE Topics: Energy Share This Post: As the smoggy skies over China's northern industrial cities thicken into soupy murkiness, life spans plummet and citizens are getting testy. Over a billion sullen people would frighten any politician, elected or not. Ratcheting up a response, concerned leaders just pushed to develop a revolutionary thorium nuclear reactor in only 10 years, elevating a long=term research program to an urgent Manhattan Project. Although it's a symbolic gesture at this point, as an attempt to cut down China's destructive reliance on coal, it plays to the country's reputation as the global infrastructure king after building the Three Gorges Dam and nation-wide high speed rail. To gauge the government's resolve, look no further than Premier Li Keqiang, who told the national legislature on March 5th that the government had declared "war on pollution" (borrowing a handy Washington cliche). Although China is the world leader in clean energy investment, with $54 billion poured into 14 GWs of wind and 12 GWs of solar last year alone, the government has targeted nuclear as an important part of its low-carbon strategy. Leap-frogging uranium China hasn't abandoned traditional nuclear, according to thorium-ophile Ambrose Evans-Pritchard at The Telegraph. It's already building 26 conventional reactors to fire up in 2015, with 51 more planned, and 120 more stuffed into the pipeline. But for the government they have a big drawback: a reliance on pricey, imported uranium. Since China has enough thorium to last for "20,000 years," starting just three years ago, China's Academy of Sciences (an arm of the government) began the long pursuit of a "thorium-based molten-salt reactor system" at the Shanghai Institute of Nuclear and Applied Physics. Originally, its scientists had been given a manageable 25-year mandate to develop the thorium plant - and leap-frog uranium - but a 10-year deadline is pushy by any autocrat's standards. Ironically, this story leads back to the United States, a slower -moving democracy, and Kirk Sorensen, a former NASA rocket engineer, who, by trying to develop a thorium reactor, has become the 90th element's biggest advocate, which makes him both the Johnny Appleseed and the world's biggest Chicago Cubs fan of nuclear energy. He's definitively American. Solving the Fukushima problem Sorenson explained to Evans-Pritchard that his thorium reactors could solve the Fukushima problem: they would operate at atmospheric pressure to eliminate the same hydrogen explosions. If a reactor began to overheat, a plug melts and the salts drain out. "There's no need for computers, or the electrical pumps that were crippled by the tsunami. The reactor can save itself." He's ingeniously practical. Then he went big-picture and very Spockian, ignoring legacy energy systems, dysfunctional politics, and greed: "Once you start looking more closely, you can run civilization on thorium for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's essentially free. You don't have to deal with uranium cartels." Or humans. He's also insanely rational. And eternally hopeful. A terminal Cubs fan. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee built a molten-salt reactor in the 1960s, but it was shelved by the Nixon Administration. At the time, the Pentagon needed uranium to build nuclear bombs, so the project was aborted. The blueprints were gathered up, archived, and forgotten, until Kirk Sorensen, a young engineer prowling NASA looking for a new research project, found and studied them. Convinced of their value, he later published the results. Although the small thorium research community shared them and reporters publicized them, the US government ignored them; however, China did not. Taking the technology back to China Jiang Mianheng, the next link in the thorium story, is the son of former Party leader Jiang Zemin, which makes him a princeling, a rich and pampered member of the ruling Communist government's second generation. That world of privilege and access gave him the clout to bring his thorium project to China's National Academy of Sciences and wrangle a start-up budget of $350m. Mr Jiang made a special trip to the Oak Ridge labs and obtained the designs - legitimately, just by asking - after reading an article in American Scientist that touted thorium's many benefits. He'd decided that a molten-salt reactor could be the answer to China's ongoing energy and climate crisis. He took this disruptive technology back to China and suddenly it's moved into the mainstream, just like Sorenson has hoped. A hundred thousand years from now Under the original 25-year research plan, Jiang's Shanghai team would have built a tiny 2 MW plant using liquid flouride fuel by the end of the decade, before gradually scaling up to commercial size during the 2020s. Now those plans have been jump-started by a nervous regime. One hundred thousand years from now, if Jiang's scientists managed to develop a working molten-salt reactor that created an energy revolution, Beijing pedestrians will be able to look up into the clear night sky and see an immense, state-sponsored hologram of Kirk Sorenson floating overhead, flashing an eternal Vulcan salute as he sucks up the endless free energy supplied by one of his reactors. Unfortunately, it will be too late to snag a book deal with best-selling author Michael Lewis. Will Communist leaders survive long enough to see the results?

Home Prices Lowest Since 2006

How low will they go?
Home sales are falling and so are prices, leaving many homeowners under water. A study released today shows house prices in major areas have reached their lowest level since 2006.
That's true in North Central Florida, but some say the statistic doesn't tell the full story.

A brief look at the sports stories that are making news this morning.
In the paper
Peptides: Inside the secret lives of sport cheats
Powerful new-generation, performance-enhancing drugs are flowing into the country largely unchecked, a Herald investigation has found.
In a three-part investigation Herald reporter Steve Deane looks at how easy it is to get hold of peptides and takes the performance-enhancing drug to assess the affects.
Pulse upset Magic
The Central Pulse decided to save their history-making exploits until this weekend.
First time for everything
After blowing a nine-goal lead on their way to missing out on the opportunity to pick up their first win over the Northern Mystics last week they produced their first win over the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic in Wellingtonlast night.
Rebels give Crusaders a big fright
Worrying times at the Crusaders. The Rebels, supposedly a side ideally suited to run the Crusaders into form, gave Todd Blackadder's men the biggest of frights in Christchurch.
Not the plan
On the hunt for a four-try bonus point victory which would have catapulted them into the top six, they were outscored three tries to two by the Rebels who probably deserved a little more from the match.
Vickerman already sizing up lofty targets
Dean Vickerman has barely been in the job 48 hours but the new Breakers' coach is already casting an eye to future.
Lofty goals
Winning a fourth straight championship, becoming sustainable and successful enough to justify their own stadium, creating a succession plan as pain-free as the one from which he profited - it certainly doesn't sound as if Vickerman plans to tread water.
Overnight news
Van Persie earns draw on Arsenal return
Robin van Persie marked his return to Arsenal by scoring a penalty amid a chorus of boos to give newly crowned Premier League champion Manchester United a 1-1 draw today that also hurt his former team's chances of making the Champions League.
Around the grounds
Chelsea kept the Champions League qualifications hopes on track with a 2-0 win over Swansea while Reading and QPR did each other no favours with their 0-0 draw meaning both will be relegated.
Nadal wins eighth Barcelona Open
Rafael Nadal won the Barcelona Open for the eighth time this morning after seeing off Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 6-3 in the final.
He's back
It was Nadal's 54th career title and fourth this year, having made six straight finals after returning from a knee injury that had kept him off the courts since last summer.
By the numbers
14 point winning margin to Alex Maloney and Molly Meech in the 49erFX class at ISAF Sailing World Cup in Hyeres, France.
100% record by Maria Sharapova at the Stuttgart WTA tournament.
3-1 lead by the Chicago Bulls in the first-round NBA playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets
Quote of the day
"It is too early to talk about the French Open."
Defending champion Maria Sharapova who will contest a Stuttgart WTA final against another past French Open champion Li Na.

Date of Stay: March, 2011
We really enjoyed staying at this campground. It was close enough to the beach for us to walk. We especially loved all of the bicycle trails around the island. The camp store had a good selection of items and the staff and hosts were friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
We love how this campground has sites right on the water as we like to take our kayaks with us. The only downside is not having a sewer hookup. Its nice that you can go online and reserve your specific spot.

Charges Dropped Against Man Video-Taped Having Sex with Lawn Furniture
Price was accused of wandering out onto his back deck naked, laying a table on its side and having sex with the umbrella hole. Ugh. A neighbor brought the incident to the attention of the police, and produced video for them to prove it.
Even worse, his backyard faces an elementary school, and Price performed his act during the day.
Price has been in trouble before. He's been accused of voyeurism in the past in Bowling Green and Tiffin. He was previously sentenced, besides short jail terms, to counseling.
Guess it didn't take.

Lower the lead acid battery self discharges, its lifespan is longer. So when you plan to buy gel battery, you can pay attention to its discharge depth to judge its quality. It's advised that it is better to use 50% or less of the total power. When it's closed to 80%, you have to charge the golf cart batteriesright now to avoid over discharge. So the general recommendation is to charge the MF car battery after every use. Please don't use it when it's not fully charged, or it will cause it deeply discharge. If vrla battery is used in the deep discharging condition, the capacity will decrease quickly and it will greatly shorten its life.

Tauranga has been named as one of the hosts for the ICC Cricket World Cup qualifying tournament in 2014.
The month-long tournament in January and February will feature 10 non-test playing nations vying for the last two places in the 2015 World Cup to be played in Australia and New Zealand.
Trustee Neil Craig said winning a place as a venue for the qualifying games was fantastic news. "We expect to get a number of games and to have teams based here. We didn't know for certain until the announcement last night. Our belief is we've done a really good job and if we get good feedback we may well get some practice games before the 2015 cup."
Mr Craig said there would be a number of warm-up games held before the World Cup and the trust's objective was to put themselves in the frame to host several of those as well.
He said the games would be good for Tauranga's economy.
"The preliminaries won't attract a large spectator audience but even a single team with their entourage, family and followers will stay for several days each game over almost two months.
"The preliminary tournament alone will attract a lot of visitors to the region and if we get warm- up games we will get a bigger spectator audience."
Hosting the games would also show that the Bay Oval was one of the best in New Zealand.
"We want to be a centre of excellence in cricket."
Mr Craig said in the past few years, the trust had spent in excess of $2 million to build a pavilion, which was still under construction, and the best part of $100,000 on 18 practice wickets. The Tauranga City Council has also put $35,000 towards a first class standard wicket.
Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby said bringing events like the international cricket tournament to the city added an extra level of vibrancy and excitement for residents and would attract a number of new visitors.
"Tauranga is already buzzing at this time of year and we will now have even more entertainment options over the coming summer season. The council provided support to the trust's bid through the annual plan process through wicket upgrades at Blake Park and an agreement to increase operational funding."
Mr Crosby said the council would continue working with the trust to make the qualifier event a huge success.
The Cricket World Cup qualifying tournament
Teams from 10 nations will battle for two places in the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2015.
The World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
The participating nations will be 10 of the following 11: Afghanistan, Canada, Hong Kong, Kenya, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, Uganda, United Arab Emirates.
The Bay Oval at Mount Maunganui will join New Plymouth, Hamilton, Christchurch, Rangiora, Lincoln and Queenstown as venues for the qualifying tournament.

Whether you serve them as cocktail nibbles or wrap them up to give as gifts, spiced nuts are a snack that people just can't stop eating.
Many hounds love Union Square Cafe's bar nuts recipe, with brown sugar, cayenne, and rosemary. "Union Square nuts are quite simply the best!" raves katecm. They're terrific served warm, but good room temperature as well. cinnamon girl notes that they get crunchier once they've cooled.
amyzan says David Lebovitz's candied peanuts are fantastic warm or cool, and will be "gobbled down astoundingly fast." The recipe works well with almonds, too, she says, adding, "They're crunchy and sweet and super easy because it's all stove top."
karykat loves spiced nuts with sugared bacon, and says, "People just snarf them down." Val is a fan of sweet and spicy candied pecans, and hounds sing the praises of CHOW's Honeyed Cashews with Kosher Salt and Roasted Rosemary Walnuts.
Discuss: What's your best holiday nut recipe?

Politics reach new low
Dear Editor:
Why is President Obama personally to blame for the assassination of the Libyan ambassador in Benghazi as Republicans charge?
All embassies have Marine guards stationed there. In fact, when I was in the Marine Corps, embassy duty was considered a plush assignment.
Although that wasn't the case in Benghazi or in Teheran when the Iranians took embassy personnel hostage in 1979.
Is the president also personally responsible for the lives of soldiers serving overseas? The Department of Defense is as much a part of the executive branch as is the State Department.
American embassies have been attacked 29 times since 1829 resulting in deaths of both American State Department employees and local employees.
Were presidents sitting in the White House condemned for those attacks and held personally responsible for the lives lost?
The U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan in the Carter administration from 1978 to 1979, Adolph Dubs, was killed in an exchange of gunfire after a kidnapping attempt by Islamic extremists in Kabul in 1979. I don't recall the president being held personally responsible for that death.
The U.S. ambassador to Lebanon, Francis M. Meloy, was kidnapped by a Palestinian separatist group and shot along with U.S. economic counselor Robert O. Waring as both diplomats headed to present their credentials to the new Lebanese president in 1976. I don't recall President Ford being held personally responsible in that incident.
The U.S. ambassador to Sudan for the Nixon administration, Cleo A. Noel Jr., was killed in 1973 after members of a faction of the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, specifically called "Black September," stormed the Saudi embassy in Khartoum during a party for Noel's outgoing deputy. I don't recall Nixon being held personally responsible for that.
The U.S. ambassador to Guatemala, John Gordon Mein, was appointed ambassador in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson and was the first U.S. ambassador to be assassinated while serving in office. Mein was gunned down by Guatemalan rebels in 1968 after leaving a State Department lunch. Was Johnson held personally responsible for his death?
So why all of a sudden is President Obama being blamed for the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens. You don't think that even the assassination of an American ambassador would be turned into a political "gotcha" by an opposing party would you? Has our political system sunk that low?
Indeed it appears it has. Republicans have lowered the bar to a disgusting level of decency.
Given today's political climate I become less and less inclined to vote with each passing day. Why? I don't believe the political rhetoric of either side and not being the CEO of a mulit-national corporation or a millionaire I really have no stake in the country anymore. I'm too poor to have a voice. So why should I cast a meaningless vote?
I suppose I'll show up at the polls and vote the ballot issues and leave the candidate boxes blank.

Novelist Mark Haskell Smith Wants Voters to Get 'Baked'
Timing is everything in publishing, and novelist Mark Haskell Smith's fourth book "Baked" seems to be in perfect alignment with not only the stars and a harvest moon, but also the ascendancy of the pot-smoking constituency of California.
Named after a slang term for marijuana, Smith's comedic novel about Cannabis culture was released this week by Black Cat, an imprint of Grove Press, t-minus 90 days before Proposition 19 will be put before California voters. The bill proposes to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana-related activities in California. Smith says that he actually started working on his book years before the proposition, but he wouldn't mind if his book somehow contributed to the passage of the bill.
"Baked" focuses on Miro Basinas, an underground botanist who cultivates a unique variety of marijuana with signature mango overtones. His "Elephant Crush" strain is good enough to win the grand prize at the Cannabis Cup, a World Series competition for pot growers in Amsterdam. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Basinas is shot and his prize crop stolen. The book chronicles Basinas' odyssey to recover his seeds and includes encounters with oversexed Mormons, a cop obsessed with string theory and other cynically loopy characters.

Carson City police on better footing
CARSON CITY — Carson City Administrator Mark Borden is pleased with the outcome of changes made to the city's police department.
The department had three different chiefs in a four-month period last spring and summer.
Former Chief Jeff Hilliker was "relieved of his duties" and Officer Nick Barbour resigned in March.
Rod Schooley, the only full-time officer left, was promoted to sergeant in charge of law enforcement matters. Borden became the department's top administrator.
However, Schooley left in July to take a new position in California.
Borden hired Bruce Partridge, a retired chief deputy from the Kent County Sheriff's Department, at the same day to become the Carson City Police Department's new part-time chief.
The department since has grown its ranks to five part-time officers, including Partridge. Officer Justin Beck has returned from military duty and has one of the other positions.
Borden is pleased with Partridge's work so far. Partridge was hired on an interim basis but Borden hopes to see him stay in Carson City "long term."
"He's a good one to manage the schedule and mentor the younger officers," Borden said. "We're glad to have him. It's a very positive situation."
Borden pointed out the department is patrolling more hours now with part-time officers than it did earlier this year with three full-time officers.
"We have more coverage hours than we've ever had with fewer dollars," he said. "It really is a win-win."
Five part-time officers including the chief. Most working for other agencies. couple in Sparta and Howard City. another is Kent County parks patrol officer. Officer Beck is back.
It's going well with Chief Bruce Partridge.
"With chief Partridge at the helm it is."
"He was hired on an interim basis. It's worked out so well that I hope he stays long term."

text: KGreg - I just wonder if you're reading way too much into the linescores or listening to this. Unless I've misread or missed something, you haven't seen him play live recently. I know I haven't. I'm not saying you're for sure wrong, but my hunch is that you are - re: his athleticism. I'm also not saying Monroe's a high end athlete. But I bet he ends up being a perfectly fine athlete either at PF or at Center - more likely at center. My problem in saying and defending that is that I think it'll take him time to gain the experience and strength needed to excel. Let's take up this argument again 20 games into the season, and then let's measure him 60 games in and then at the end of the season. I think we'll see a lot more and will be able to debate this more intelligently. Hopefully, at the end of the year we're salivating over and hoping that he'll have kind of summer that Daye did this offseason.
