Skinny Meals In Heels
A cookbook for the cook who wants to eat well while staying fit and trim.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Jennifer Joyce is an American food writer, stylist, and chef. Her cookbook, Skinny Meals in Heels, is a no nonsense guide for the busy home cook who wants to maintain her figure without sacrificing flavor. Joyce has created 130 recipes that are easy to prep ahead of time or prepare in under an hour and still get on the table at the end of a long day.
Joyce boasts of the great ingredients and the "skinny" tip she includes with each recipe. She emphasizes the theory of not counting calories or grams of fat, yet she encourages people to use common sense and cut back on the obviously unhealthy choices, like high-fat or fried foods. She encourages the behaviors of the French and the Italians. These cultures are known for pairing lots of vegetables with their small portions of rich food. The cultures are also known for their small waist lines.
Simply put, the Skinny meals in Heels cookbook is full of practical advice for those who likes to cook with flavor, yet don't want to see their weight increase. Joyce adds helpful info to each recipe to increase one's knowledge about healthy food and how to prepare a common dish in a more healthful way. For example, she encourages baking pita or even root vegetables. This creates the familiar taste of chips, yet much lower in fats and much higher in nutrients.

- Using less of the higher fat ingredients
- Only indulging in higher fat, rich foods a few days a week
- Not eating snacks between meals
- Stopping eating once full
- Understanding there is such a thing as good fat
- Encouraging the consumption of lots of fruits and vegetables
- Keeping the kitchen stocked with prepped, good-for-you foods
Skinny Meals in Heels does not endorse an exercise plan as this is a cookbook. Joyce references the fact that exercise alone won't contribute to weight lose, and explains that diet is pivotal in weight loss.CONCLUSION
Jennifer Joyce has written a fun cookbook that pays homage to her Italian roots and her love of good food. She acknowledges that many of these dishes are high in fat and calories and had provided many way to make them lighter and emphasize nutrition in the ingredients. Each recipe is unique and has a very useful tip explaining why the method of preparation or ingredients is lighter or healthier. Skinny Meals in Heels is also full of ways to make eating great foods at home easier, as most recipes are quick or encourage easy prep that allows for the dish to be tossed together even at the end of a long day.Common Misspellings

VALRICO — Alonso parlayed its third winning season in school history with its first ever playoff berth by defeating Plant 57-52 in Wednesday's Class 6A, District 7 semifinal at Bloomingdale.
The No. 2 Ravens will play top seed Wharton, which cruised to a 69-44 win over Newsome, in Friday's district final.
"It means a lot," said Alonso senior Malachi Christopher, who scored 13 including four free throws down the stretch. "I've put a lot of work into this thing since I was a freshman. I've dreamed of going to the state playoffs."
Early on, it looked like Plant (14-13) was headed for the postseason. The Panthers built a 29-20 halftime lead on the strength of an 11-0 run and led 40-30 heading into the final quarter.
The Ravens (15-11) fought back, outscoring the Panthers 17-3 at one point. Greg Robinson, who scored a game-high 24, had two of his six 3-pointers in that stretch.
"We just stayed with it," Alonso coach Todd Price said. "The kids didn't want to see (the season) end."
Andrew Sanders led Plant with 18 points and teammate Chip Stern added 10.
The nightcap was pretty one-sided with Wharton (21-4) taking a 41-19 halftime lead and winning decisively.
Wharton senior Sir Patrick Reynolds led all scorers with 24 and Jaken Grier chipped in with 15.
Newsome (8-13) got 13 from Carlos Miranda.
7A-9: Chiefs prevail, Patriots fall
TAMPA — Nothing went as expected Wednesday at Steinbrenner. Freedom, the No. 2 seed, lost 63-59 to Wiregrass Ranch, and top-seeded Chamberlain barely held off Steinbrenner 78-71. The Chiefs led by two in the third quarter then again in the fourth. The Bulls and Chiefs will play Friday for the 7A-9 title.
In the first game, Freedom looked as if it would cruise to an easy victory, leading 16-9. But Wiregrass Ranch stormed back in the second quarter thanks to a couple of 3-pointers from Chris Parra (13 points) and Larrentz Manora (11). Manora's 3 capped a 15-5 run and the Patriots headed into the locker room at halftime down 28-25.
Freedom's Stephen Odunna (12 points, seven rebounds) started the third quarter on a tear, grabbing offensive rebounds and tying the score at 31. However, Wiregrass senior Ricky Ramirez went toe-to-toe with Odunna's effort, hustling after loose balls and playing gritty defense.
"I wanted to come in and give the team the energy they needed, focus on rebounding and get the job done," Ramirez said.
Ramirez finished with 12 points and six rebounds. The Wiregrass fullcourt press started to pay off in the fourth quarter, ringing up steals and easy baskets. Freedom's Antwan Bradley led all scorers with 27 and kept his team in the game during the fourth quarter. But eventually the 17 turnovers caught up with the Patriots. Wiregrass' Rico Kerney made all his free throws down the stretch.Chamberlain came out big in the first quarter and led 37-19. Steinbrenner cut the lead to eight just before the half and then to two in the third quarter as John Marc Carrier got a steal and coast-to-coast layup to cap an 11-0 run. However, the Chiefs slammed the door in the fourth as senior Reggie Hart (33 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals, three blocks) started to heat up.
"I was kind of scared at the end; they're a good team and they kept coming back," Hart said. "But once we got our heads back in the game, I feel like we stepped it up."
Steinbrenner's Keshawn Ingram hit two 3-pointers and was fouled on a third attempt, after which he converted all three free throws. He finished with 29 points.
7A-8: Brandon finds touch in second half
PLANT CITY — After a tight first half Wednesday in which Brandon struggled from the field, coach Jamie Turner had a simple message for his team.
Keep shooting.
"Their heads were down in the locker room because we didn't make a lot of shots in the first half," Turner said. "But I told them I see them every day in practice and I know what they can do."
Brandon came out of the break on fire and cruised from there as the top-seeded Eagles defeated Tampa Bay Tech 68-51 in the 7A-8 district semifinals. East Bay beat Riverview 63-51 in the other semifinal, setting up Brandon and East Bay for the district title Friday.
"Tampa Bay Tech is a tough, physical team," Turner said. "Even though we beat them twice (during the regular season), I knew this would be a tough game."
And in the first half, it was — the teams were tied nine times and neither led by more than five. But Brandon was lights-out after the break and outscored TBT 26-8 in the quarter.
"We shot the lights out," Turner said.
Avery Bolton hit three of his five 3s in the third and finished with a game-high 22 points. Brandon's Kiefer Jefferson-Grimes and Roderick Davis dominated the interior, collecting 11 and nine rebounds, respectively.
"Those guys owned the glass," Turner said. "We talked about making (TBT) shoot over us and they did that."
East Bay built a 35-13 halftime lead and rolled from there. Jon Jean scored a game-high 18 for the Indians while teammate Anton Crutcher chipped in with 10. Gerald Emanuel finished with a team-high 13 for Riverview.
6A-11: Harris leads Sickles into title game
TAMPA — Sickles' Dan Harris walked off the floor with a smile. More than anyone, he is looking forward to Friday night's Class 6A, District 11 championship against Armwood.
Harris, who sustained a dislocated knee in last year's district semifinals, scored 14 to lead No. 3 seed Sickles (23-4) to a 49-42 victory over Strawberry Crest (18-8) Wednesday night. Marcus Hill scored 30 points as top-seeded Armwood (18-8) rolled to a 71-41 win against King (7-14).
"I got hurt last year against King and didn't play in the (district) championship," Harris said. "This is a good feeling to go back and be able to go for a state title."
Harris scored his final six points on free throws in the last 74 seconds as Sickles put Strawberry Crest away at the charity stripe. After Matt Chacko's trey gave the Chargers a 34-33 lead with less than four minutes remaining, the Gryphons scored 16 of the game's final 24 points, 12 on free throws. Ray Santiago added 10 points for Sickles, and Devin Diggs led Strawberry Crest with 18.
"It was a grind-out game," Harris said. "This was about heart and pride. In the county, we're known for playing defense."
Sickles held Strawberry Crest to 30.4 percent shooting from the field.
Defense also sparked Armwood. While Hill scored 14 of the Hawks' 17 points and 17 in the first half, the Hawks led only 32-26 as King's Rashard Green (10 points) hit consecutive baskets midway through the second quarter. But the Lions missed their next 14 shots — the final eight to start the second half — and Armwood built a 46-28 lead before Michael Shoemaker broke the King drought with a layup.
King never got closer than 16 after that.
"Our defense turned it on when we had to," Armwood coach Jeff Pafunda said. "We went in at halftime and said the way we're going to turn this game around is to play tough defense and make sure (King) didn't get a run."
King shot only 29 percent. Armwood got 16 points from Javone King and 15 from Vontrey Hill (15).
5A-11: Lennard relies on defense
TAMPA — Lennard will meet Jesuit in the Class 5A, District 11 final Friday after coupling a solid defensive performance with clutch shooting against Robinson in a 55-53 victory.
The No. 2-seeded Longhorns fell behind early, but kept themselves in the game by forcing the Knights into 25 turnovers. The defensive effort was led by center Cedric Blatch who finished with six steals, three blocked shots and 11 rebounds to go with four points.
"Early on we just needed to wake up and realize the situation was that there is no tomorrow," Lennard coach Danny Gaddis said. "Our senior captain Cedric Blatch stepped up and again had a game that the numbers won't do justice. His presence was crucial in forcing them to make mistakes and slowing them down on the break."
Gary Hector led Lennard in scoring with 23 and was helped out offensively by point guard Caelen Watts, who finished with 16 points, three assists and three steals.
Gaddis says his team is looking forward to its district final opponent in Jesuit despite losing to the Tigers twice this season.
Jesuit rolled over host Middleton 58-12, not allowing it to score its first basket until late in the second quarter, at which point the score was 35-2. The ease of the victory allowed Jesuit coach Neal Goldman to rest his starters for much of the game.
"We know we have a tough opponent on Friday, but I think the important thing is that we played good defense and passed the ball well tonight," Goldman said. "It was nice to make sure our starters got a rest and we'll be fresh for Friday."

Baltimore-based sports apparel company Under Armour doesn't require its 3,363 employees to be athletes, but it does look for new hires with a love of sports and fitness.
Reason: Team spirit is core to the company's culture.
Each new hire attends a two-day classroom orientation, and then—regardless of job title—shuffles off to the distribution warehouse to pack orders and learn about shipping, retail and other basics of the organization's operations.
Once onboard, employees have access to a subsidized gym on its campus, personal trainers and healthy meals and snacks—including some that come from an employee-maintained organic herb and vegetable garden.
Plus, employees get discounts on sporting event tickets—as well as on Under Armour apparel.

The present patent application is a non-provisional application of International Application No. PCT/FR01/03168, filed Oct. 12, 2001.
The present invention relates to fixing one or more relay antennas for cellular radio telecommunications networks on a mast.
The invention also relates to devices for adjusting the orientation of such an antenna on a mast to which it is fixed.
Relay antennas in a cellular telecommunications network are panel antennas mounted on masts which are installed on high sites, for example, in urban areas, on the roofs of buildings.
A general object of the invention is to propose improvements to the way in which such antennas are fixed and the way their orientation is adjusted.
The invention proposes various devices which can be used independently or in combination.
1) In particular, in a first aspect, the invention proposes a fixing device which enables a plurality of panel antennas to be fixed to the same mast, while enabling the tilt and azimuth orientation of each antenna to be adjusted independently.
In particular, the fixing device makes it possible to adjust the orientations of two juxtaposed panel antennas fixed to the same mast to be adjusted by said device, depending on the type of configuration desired:
The solution proposed for this purpose is a support for at least two panel antennas constituting relay antennas for one or more cellular telecommunications networks, the support comprising a fixing element such as a mast and means enabling said two antennas to be fixed to said fixing element, said means being suitable for allowing the orientation of said antennas to be adjusted in tilt and in azimuth, wherein for two antennas carried by said fixing element and disposed side by side, the support comprises fixing means allowing each of said two antennas to pivot about a respective one of two pivot pins, said fixing means being suitable for enabling the antennas to pivot from a configuration in which both antennas are close to each other and oriented in substantially the same azimuth direction and a configuration in which the two antennas are spaced apart from each other and are oriented in distinct azimuth directions.
In particular, in an advantageous embodiment, the fixing means comprise means which, in addition to enabling an antenna to pivot about a pin also allow it to tilt about a horizontal pin in order to adjust its tilt orientation.
2) Furthermore, the invention also provides a particularly advantageous adjustment system that is particularly simple to mount and that makes it possible to perform adjustments both in tilt and in azimuth without it being necessary to reserve a large amount of space around the mast to make it possible for interventions and maintenance to be performed at man height.
To this end, the invention provides a support for at least one antenna panel constituting a relay antenna in a cellular telecommunications network, the support comprising a fixing element and means enabling said antenna to be fixed to said element, said means comprising first link means which are fixed to the fixing element and on which the antenna is hinged to pivot about a horizontal tilt axis and second link means which are adjustable by a user to tilt the antenna about its horizontal axis, the support being characterized in that the second link means comprise at least one arm pivotally hinged at both ends, firstly to the fixing element or means that are fixed thereto, and secondly to the antenna or to means interposed between the antenna and said arms, the pivot pins of said arms being parallel to the tilt axis of the antenna, means enabling one and/or the other of the pivot pins to be adjusted in height relative to the mast or to the antenna.
Advantageously, these means comprise in particular an intermediate element presenting at least one slot in which said pin can slide.
In a particular preferred embodiment, said intermediate element has an adjustment screw extending parallel to said slot and co-operating with a complementary thread passing through the pin that is suitable for moving in said slot or a piece fixed thereto, and also through a complementary thread that is fixed relative to said intermediate element.
Furthermore, a support can be provided which is fixed to the fixing element by clamping, said fixing element being a mast on which there are hinged the means which define the tilt axis of the antenna and those which define the pivot axis of the link arm(s).
In particular, said support is advantageously a collar which is extended by a fixed arm having the antenna or a support carried by the antenna hinged to the end thereof to tilt about a horizontal axis.
Such a structure presents the advantage of enabling an antenna panel, and in particular a dual-band antenna, to be fixed to the mast via a single fixing point.
3) Furthermore, in another aspect, the invention provides a support structure which makes it possible simultaneously to stiffen the antenna and to control its back lobe.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by a support for at least one panel antenna which constitutes a relay antenna in a cellular telecommunications network, the support comprising a mast and means for fixing said antenna to the mast, said fixing means comprising a holding support on which the antenna is mounted, the support being characterized in that the holding support comprises at least one stiffener element and an element forming a metal reflector for the antenna, which reflector is interposed between the antenna and the stiffener element.
In particular it is advantageous for the stiffener element to be a channel section girder.
4) In yet another aspect, the invention provides a tool for adjusting the tilt of a panel type antenna fixed to a mast by fixing means which allow its orientation to be adjusted, the tool being characterized in that it comprises:
Advantageously, the tool includes level-setting means suitable for offsetting the divider-forming means relative to the support.
It should be observed that the various solutions proposed by the invention have the advantage of being particularly simple and inexpensive.
Furthermore, from the point of view of appearance, the various proposed support solutions also have the advantage, due to their simplicity, of enabling antenna masts to meld in particularly well with their environment.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention appear further from the following description which is purely illustrative and non-limiting and which should be read with reference to the accompanying figures, in which:
A Single-mount Antenna
These fixing means 3 enable the antenna 2 to be fixed via a single point.
The means comprise a collar or sleeve 4 which is made up of two half-collars that are closed one on the other so as to be fixed by clamping on the mast 1.
Each of these two half-collars is generally semicylindrical in shape, being extended in its diametral plane and on both sides thereof by respective flat side flanges 5. The inside diameter of this semicylindrical shape corresponds substantially to the outside diameter of the mast 1. Screw means 6 carried by the flat flanges enable the two half-collars to be secured to each other and clamped onto the mast 1.
The collar 4 is connected to a girder 9 forming a stiffening element that carries the antenna 2. The link between the collar 4 and the girder 9 is implemented by means of:
As shown in
A screw 14 extends inside said channel section piece and engages both with a complementary thread 15 formed through the pin 11 and with a complementary thread in an element 16 that is fitted to the inside of said channel section piece above or below the slots 12.
Such a fixing structure has the advantage of being compact in the vicinity of the mast 1.
It allows adjustment to take place both in terms of tilt and in terms or azimuth and verticality.
For adjustment in azimuth and for vertical adjustment it suffices to loosen the screw means 6 and turn the collar 4 around the mast 1 or else raise or lower the collar.
To make a tilt adjustment, the technician can turn the adjustment screw 14 from below so as to cause the pin 11 to move up or down in the slots 12, thereby tilting the panel 9 and the antenna 2 in one direction or the other.
It should also be observed that the stiffener-forming girder structures serve not only to hold antennas well above the points at which they are fixed to masts, but they also have the advantage of allowing reflector elements to be included immediately behind the antennas, thereby giving good control over their back lobes.
This is shown in
Universal Fixing
The half-cylinder 19 carries tabs 21 which extend radially therefrom and which constitute supports on which various girders 9 each carrying a respective antenna can be pivotally hinged about vertical pins.
More precisely, in the example shown in
The girder 9 associated with a pair of tabs 21 has its bottom portion fixed to the lower tab in said pair by means of a hinge 22 which serves firstly to allow the girder to pivot about a vertical pin 23 a and which also allows said girder 9 to pivot about a horizontal pin 24 to which said girder is hinged.
The girder 9 is also fixed to the other tab of said pair via fixing means which comprise means analogous to the arms 8, the pins 10 and 11, and the guide and adjustment piece 13 of the structure of
The link piece 29 is itself pivotally mounted on the above-specified tab 21 about a vertical pin 31.
This makes it possible to give two juxtaposed antennas configurations that are as different as those shown in
In both cases, orientation is adjusted, particularly in terms of tilt angle and in terms of vertical position in the same manner as for the structure described with reference to
It will thus be understood that this structure likewise presents the advantage of being compact.
In addition, one of the advantages of a configuration in which orientation is adjusted by means of an arm sliding in slots as shown either with reference to
Orientation can be adjusted by turning the adjustment screw 14 which extends in the piece in which the guide slots are provided. For the configuration shown in
It should be observed that it is possible to use such a configuration when one or more antennas are fixed on a wall M (see
Graduations can be provided to enable a user to measure the angle between the divider arms.
When a user seeks to adjust or measure the angle of tilt of a panel antenna, the jig should be fitted to the mast, the arms extended to the appropriate level, and the dividers opened until the outer arm lies adjacent to the stiffener. The inclination of the antenna can then be measured directly by reading the angle to which the dividers have been opened.

City Island Enclave
Restaurants, Antiques Shops Abound; Boating Focus Wanes
City Island has long attracted many with what has been hailed as the charm of a New England fishing village within New York City limits. The island, 1½ miles long and a half mile wide, is part of the Bronx, but it stands apart in character and is only connected to the borough via the City Island Bridge.
While the charm remains, long-timers say much on the island has changed over the years, with the recession posing additional challenges. Once the site of a thriving shipbuilding industry and still home to several yacht...

Sobering reality: Drunk drivers on the High Desert
Central Oregon police step up New Year's Eve patrols
BEND, Ore. - You've probably heard those catchy taglines: "Drive sober or get pulled over" and "Drive hammered, get nailed."
But the sad truth is, most drunk drivers will get away.
"Most people who drink alcohol have, at one time or another, felt like they had one too many when they drove," Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty said recently.
Sheriff's Lt. Deron McMaster agrees: It's sobering news to learn just how many people hit the roads drunk.
"After midnight, even on a regular night, probably one in three cars that you pass may have a drunk driver behind the wheel," McMaster said.
So on New Year's Eve, you can expect lots of impaired drivers -- local law enforcement officials certainly do.
"We'll have several more deputies to work DUII patrol specifically," McMaster said. "They'll be out all over the county."
Bend police officials also said they will be on the lookout -- adding three patrols specifically downtown.
And if you think drunk driving is all about a number, think again. That .08 blood-alcohol limit doesn't always mean much to an officer.
"We're looking to find out whether someone can operate a motor vehicle," McMaster said.
Having only a couple drinks can come with a staggering price tag.
"You're going to get fined upon a conviction, you're going to lose your driver's license for at least 30 days, if not 90 days," McMaster said.
Tack on legal fees, fines and classes, and you could be looking at more than $5,000 for a first-time offense.
And don't forget that insurance -- rates could put a dent in your wallet for years to come.
"DUIs -- they are the big one," said Cascade Insurance Center Personal Lines Manager Tim Bangert. "Right there, you'll probably get double on your premium. You're looking at a good six years before you get back to paying the rates that everyone else is paying."
If you bundle insurance policies, expect to pay more everywhere.
"So then you're seeing an increase on your homeowners' (insurance), because you've lost your package discount. That's 10 to 15 percent," Bangert said.
If you get away with just paying fines and fees, consider yourself lucky.
"Just about every vehicular homicide we've prosecuted, or that we're currently doing, involves a driver who is impaired," Flaherty said.
Risky business, if you're one of millions of Americans banking on just not getting caught.
Bend police urge anyone that doesn't have to drive anywhere to stay off the roads on New Year's Eve.
Officials say DUII arrests have increased in recent years. They credit much of the rise to increased use of prescription pills behind the wheel.

Eva Marie Saint to speak at Plaza Film Festival
EL PASO, Texas - Oscar®-winning actress Eva Marie Saint, will present and discuss two of the films that showcase her talents - Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 chase thriller, North By Northwest and Elia Kazan's 1954 drama On The Waterfront. The two films will open the Plaza Classic Film Festival's premiere evenings, August 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Ms. Saint won her Best Supporting Oscar® in her screen debut performance in On the Waterfront working alongside Marlon Brando and Karl Malden and distinguished herself over a long career on stage, in television and feature films. She is perhaps best known for her role as the cool, sophisticated and conflicted secret agent at the heart of Hitchcock's definitive chase film, North by Northwest.
"Ms. Saint's career contains performances that show an amazing versatility. The two films featured this year are proof of her adaptability and range," states festival artistic director Charles Horak. The films join some 80 other titles to be celebrated during this year's festival and Ms. Saint will take part in on-stage conversations about her life, career and the making of these two films prior to their screening in the Plaza Theatre's 2,000-seat restored auditorium.
Eva Marie Saint joins special guest Tippi Hedren at this year's 11 day festival. A special event includes Al Pacino performing his show, Al Pacino-One Night Only on August 4, 2012 at the Plaza Theatre.
In addition to the film programming at this year's festival, a major art exhibition Designing Woman: Edith Head at Paramount, dedicated to the work of famed costume designer Edith Head will run at the adjacent El Paso Museum of Art from July 14 to September 9, 2012.
The exhibit will include 40 costumes designed by Ms. Head during her tenure at Paramount, along with personal papers and costume design sketches, and an adjunct exhibit, Reel Glamour: Jewelry from the Paramount Archive, will display important screen-worn adornments from 50 years of Paramount classics.
"The Plaza Classic Film Festival has become a destination for film lovers from across the country, and the art exhibition will add another layer of depth to this year's great film programming," Horak added.
The festival has begun rolling out its 2012 film selections with more than 30 titles already announced, among them, a 70th Anniversary screening of Casablanca, the North American Premiere of the restoration of Samson and Delilah, the first Best Picture Oscar® winner Wings, along with a number of important recent restorations: To Kill A Mockingbird, Breakfast At Tiffany's, Nothing Sacred and An American in Paris.
Stay current with the latest festival news by joining our contact list at www.plazaclassic.com, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Festival Passes are on sale now for $200 through the El Paso Community Foundation, (915) 533-4020. Each pass-holder will receive expedited entry to all festival screenings, invitation to the opening night reception for the Edith Head exhibit, entry to the festival's opening night VIP screening and reception, discounts at area restaurants and more.
Film entry fees range from free to $8. Each pass holder will also receive a $25 discount on Al Pacino - One Night Only tickets which range from $65 to $125.

The report, which was released this morning, quoted Crest High School coach Roy Kirby as stating Alston as a Kentucky commitment.
"They run a lot out of the I-formation," Kirby told The Shelby Star. "They've got a tailback (Remene Alston) that was ranked as the preseason No. 10 back in the country. He's got over 1,800 yards and 22 touchdowns in 10 games and he's committed to Kentucky."
According to the father of Remene Alston, that report was inaccurate and premature. "He likes Kentucky and they are firmly number one on his list, but he has not formerly committed to them, yet" Remene Alston, Sr. responded to the report.
The Wildcats are one of just three offers that Alston currently holds, the others being NC State and East Carolina.
"Kentucky has been very persistant in their pursuit of Remene and they have made it very clear that they would like for him to attend their institution," Alston, Sr. continued, "but Remene is firmly concentrated on the playoffs right now and has decided he'll wait until afterwards to sit down and address this issue of where he'll attend school."
The University of Kentucky is recruiting Alston as an athlete according to his father and they will determine where he'll play once he steps on campus. Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and North Carolina all recruited Alston as a defensive back, with Alston being less than thrilled with the idea.
"He'll play wherever," Alston Sr. commented. "I know he'd prefer to play running back, but he's gonna do whatever the coach asks of him to do."
The 5-foot-8, 200 pound running back and Greensboro (NC) native will make an official visit to Kentucky in December.

A local restaurant celebrates its re-launch.
The Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday for the X-Factor Grill at Cornerstone Restaurant.
Owner Bryan Westmoreland said he wanted to create a different atmosphere for the Cornerstone.
"I just wanted my restaurant to become a little more blue-collar, a little more laid back, a little more comfortable," said Westmoreland. "I have added TV's, a lunch counter where you can eat fast, a hot dog or a BBQ sandwich with no waiting from the kitchen."
The hours for the X-Factor Grill at Cornerstone Restaurant are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|As far as the difficulty of restoring wooden boats is concerned. The actual bits of work done aren't all that hard. The hard part is peeling the onion to get at whatever needs replacing. Wooden boats are many thousands of little jobs done well. All of those little jobs relate or tie into one another. Oh Joy had a rotten clamp (main framing that the deck beams tie to as well as rib tops) that needed fixed. To get at it, the deck had to come off. The deck beams and house had to come off. The chainplate partner on that side as well as a bulkhead had to come out. All of this to replace an 8' section of bad wood. This is the main issue with a wood boat. While everything on it can be replaced, getting at it is another story all together...
The only issue to a degree I see with some of the 70's boats, is if they have the IOR buldge. Then even tho reasonably fast, not exactly something I want to sail on. BUT< this also comes into gaha's point, "ANY BOAT" if you like the lines etc is worth restoring/refurbing etc. I've made my what classic plastic I would not restore, nor would I restore and old shoe double ender equal full keeler std transom in plastic either!
Originally Posted by davidpm View Post

Then the rush to make sloops more livable at the dockside under the IRS "second home tax write-off" scheme led to increasingly porky designs where the deck was designed around the apartment-sized interior. By the late 80's the transition was in full swing.
Gotta be realistic... if I were building production boats, I would also have to go where the market is. It's a business, after all, and not a charity.
That's one reason that the good-sailing designs from the 70's will always be in demand for restoration by boaters wanting to actually sail.
So keep restoring and enjoying those "classic" fast Cals, Ericsons, Ranger yachts, and Catalina 27's.
|Anyboat is worth it.If you like the lines and want to put the money into it.I might like something and you may think that I'am stupid for even thinking about it.
Well, the Swede 55 is 53' overall with a 39' waterline and a beam of 9.58 feet. Quite narrow but many of its type are. I've always liked Steve Dashew's designs (Deerfoot and Sundeer derivatives), Sundeer 60 is 60' overall, 60' waterline and a beam of 13'9". The 56' Sundeer has the same beam with a waterline of 56'. I am really not fond of overhangs either. As beautiful as they are they don't give you any benefit over a boat without overhangs. Higher speeds with the finer entry that a narrow boat allows. It is hard to get real narrow on a smaller boat though as the accomodation suffers. The Swede 55 is a good example of this and it isn't very roomy for its length. The first smaller narrow boat that comes to mind is the Tumlaren, designed by Knud Reimers who also designed the Swede 55. It is 27'8" long with a beam of 6'3". Adlard Coles, British sailor and writer (author of Heavy Weather Sailing) raced a 32' Tumlaren design named Cohoe very successfully in the
A lot of more common boats from a few decades ago are quite narrow compared to todays racer/cruisers. The Alberg 35 has a beam of 9'8" and the Spencer 35, made famous by Hal Roth, is 9'6" beam.
For comparison the Catalina 30 has a beam of 10'10", the Catalina 36 a beam of 11'11" and the Hunter 37 Legend a beam of 12'5".
Here are pics of the Deerfoot 60 and the Tumlaren.

Would you consider starting a new thread and posting some pictures and we always like to know how the numbers worked out.
Original cost, Major item costs, total costs, hours, subcontractors.
Folks like to use case studies for education.
a lot of people would be appreciative.
|Started restoring my Alberg 35 last spring, got her into sailable (not pretty:-)condition and sailed all summer and fall 2009 around the Northeast. She has been worth every effort. For < $30,000 and a lot of work, I have a boat with all new equipment, including nav systems, radar, windvane steering, etc. ready to go anywhere. She is eminently stable and seaworthy, offshore capable, and classically beautiful. The glass layup from 1967 is bulletproof. These classic boats were made to sail rather than to please people interested in fancy galleys and heads. She is certainly not as fast as modern fin-keeled boats but (as she demonstrated this summer) is capable of sailing through 45 knot winds as modern boats turn tail. She will heave-to easily and ride out almost any blow, is very economical to run on power (Yanmar), and is comfortably single-handed. The main issue with an old boat like this is the inevitable core rot. I ripped up and replaced about 60% of the total deck area. It's a messy, smelly job, not for the faint of heart but certainly doable by almost anyone with time, a small circular saw, grinder, organic vapor mask, new balsa core (really the best option), and many gallons of West System (hint: buy it by the 5 gal. pail). You can reconstruct the decks stronger than the original sprayed fiber. Areas to really beef up are the bow where anchor handling occurs, the cockpit deck where the pedestal sits, under the mast step, and under any deck hardware. I also got rid of the leaky thru-deck chainplates which are a constant source of water penetration and attached new beefier plates outside the hull. If you like the working as much as the sailing, you can't go wrong with this venerable Alberg design.

Ex "Inverness"
A good all around boat. That's the real reason to "restore" a boat- but a good history isn't bad either.
|I agree for a couple of reasons. A slimmer boat is more easily driven and the other is that in heavy weather, you can actually reach the handholds from both sides when moving about the cabin. It saves many a bump, bruise or break.

Betfair and IOC Cooperate to Tackle Corruption at the Olympics
Online gambling operator Betfair and the IOC have announced a partnership for the 2012 Olympics designed to clamp down on the threat of gambling-related corruption for various sports and games.
Online gambling operator Betfair and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have announced a partnership for the 2012 Olympics designed to clamp down on the threat of gambling-related corruption for various sports and games.
The IOC has signed an information-sharing agreement with Betfair (which operates an online betting exchange as well as offering casino and poker games) to stamp out potential corruption related to the London 2012 Games.
The two organizations will share data in order to pinpoint unusual betting activity that could point to match fixing or other irregularities, utilizing Betfair's in-house software and dedicated integrity team.
"The interests of sports governing bodies, like the IOC, and Betfair are completely aligned in wanting to ensure consumers can bet on sporting events in a transparent and secure manner," said Martin Cruddace, Betfair's chief legal and regulatory affairs officer. "If we are to protect the sports we all love then we must continue to work openly and co-operatively, and today's agreement is a clear example of just that."
Much of the concern is related to illegal betting markets in Asia, which are unregulated and unchecked and can see billions change hands each year with no obstacles or checks in place to prevent individuals or groups from bribing athletes to alter results.
Sports such as tennis have been particularly susceptible to match fixing, with some online betting sites going so far as to void results when a heavily favored opponent unexpectedly retires or otherwise performs very poorly when far more than usual is wagered on their underdog opponent to win.
Major sporting events such as the Olympics and football's World Cup can have a major impact on the results of both online and offline sportsbooks, with the increased action influencing both quarterly and annual financial results during the years the events are held.

2 Recommendations
jessefrank's recommendation
I love the Model Two because it sounds very clean and is also very easy to use and is not made like the usual crap. Verygood sounding unit. Even better with the Subwoofer for a slight addition to base.
roadcoder's recommendation
I bought a set (with subwoofer) and just love it. It has a clean sound, a fantastic tuner, and looks great in the room. It performs like much more expensive equipment, and doesn't have that "R2D2" look of so many other mini systems.

PBS Special Features Ted Carrick,DC
By Editorial StaffEach week, the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) presents the program "Body & Soul," which takes a look at "the latest in optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual health." The program presents the leading experts on alternative therapies and the stories of people whose lives have been changed by alternative health.
Show #209, "Waking up the Brain: Amazing Adjustments," featured program series creator Gail Harris speaking with chiropractic neurologist Ted Carrick, DC,PhD, a postgraduate professor of clinical neurology at Logan College of Chiropractic. He is the author of Neurophysiological Implications in Learning, and for 21 years has had a specialty practice in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.
The program began by explaining: "For about one hundred years, chiropractors have been studying the relationship between a healthy spine and a healthy body and spirit."
A woman was then introduced who for most of her adult life had suffered from an extreme case of vertigo, a condition that had radically restricted her activities. The program notes: "After years of searching for a cure through conventional medicine, she found relief in the last place she expected to - chiropractic treatment."
The patient consulted Kathleen Power,DC, of Pasadena, California, who felt that one of her teachers, Dr. Carrick, might be able to help her. The patient, aside from the vertigo, was experiencing sounds in her head and ears, and tachycardia, or a "racing" heart. Sometimes her face would droop, her lids would close, and she couldn't move one side of her face. She would have angulation and stiffness of body parts, conditions often associated with strokes.
"I saw her in grand rounds," Dr. Carrick reported on the program, "and her changes were immediate, as a consequence of what we were able to do with her." He assessed that the patient suffered a "nonablative left cortical lesion," and gave her specific exercises to "increase the integrity of the left side of her brain."
After one week of the exercises, she felt relief, and was soon doing things she'd never done before. "I had this feeling of being brought back to life," the patient explained.
Gail Harris then interviewed Dr. Carrick. "What kinds of things can be treated through chiropractic?" she inquired.
Carrick explained that chiropractic is a global body treatment, and opined: "We're finding every day that more and more things that we didn't think were associated with chiropractic treatment can be affected very nicely."
Dr. Carrick also explained to the program's host that the chiropractic profession has developed specialists in neurology, orthopedics, radiology, etc., and that "if a general chiropractor has a problem, he or she will customarily refer the person to the chiropractic specialist if the condition is amenable to the type of work we do."
Harris then inquired about a condition that was not part of the practice of most chiropractors: "We first heard about you as an incredible chiropractor that had been able to wake up coma patients. Now I know that's not something that you do routinely. But most people on hearing a statement like that would say, 'How can that be?'"
Dr. Carrick replied: "Well, the treatment of patients in a coma, and I've had considerable experience and been blessed to attend many of them, is not really much different than treating other patients. We use the same techniques, that is to say, my specialty of neurology. We look at the brain, and use brain-based treatment to cause change."
Ms. Harris continued: "So if someone were in a coma, how would you know what to do?" Dr. Carrick elaborated: "We look at the way their eyes react; we look at different reflexes - which way their eyes may go or not go; we look at the stiffness in the joints; the angulation of the body parts can tell what parts of the brain have been damaged; and then we can do specific things, which we have found to be successful."
"It is a fairly common circumstance even now, that when a chiropractor does something that makes a difference, both he and his patient are amazed?" Ms. Harris proffered.
"You know, when you first start to practice, it's an amazing miracle," related Dr. Carrick. "And the second patient is an amazing miracle. And it keeps going. But after a period of time, it's clinical experience. You have a feeling the treatment is going to cause a drastic change in the patients. But the miracle never ever leaves us. So as a profession, the rewards of this type of practice are incredible. It's miracles, every day, hundreds of times a day, in your office."
Dr. Carrick also spoke about his experience with another patient, and how treating her changed them both:
"We're certainly not treating her for the genetic expression of what she has (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), and neither is there anybody at this time that can do that. But we're treating her wholeness, specific to lesions in her brain, that allow us to have her functioning without her heart racing out of her chest, without her spinning out of control, without her eyes not being able to focus.
"She couldn't get up and do an exercise for instance - she couldn't walk. So, we had to devise different mechanisms that would allow us to cause a brain-changing activity... In her case, we would use warm air stimulation for instance, in her ear, and hook her up to the ECG monitor and we would see an abrupt change in the rate of her heart.
"I think with all the miracles and the mysteries of the human nervous system, nothing surprises me anymore."
Editor's note: Consult your local listings or call your local PBS station for airing times for "Waking up the Brain: Amazing Adjustment" (show #209). While the series is offered through PBS Plus, the top syndication service of PBS, each station determines when and where to run it. There is no uniform air date.
Purchase of a videotape of the program is available through Beacon Productions, 50 Hunt Street, Watertown, MA 02472. The phone number is 617-924-7711.
For more information on the program, go to http://www.pbs.org/bodyandsoul. Among the web pages devoted to the "Waking up the Brain: Amazing Adjustments" program, is a "Help Yourself" link that offers tips on preventing back pain and what treatment to expect during a visit to the chiropractor, from the American Chiropractic Association (ACA).

Lee County's population is mostly in coastal cities in its northern half overlooking three aquatic preserves, large barrier islands and numerous tiny islands. The Caloosahatchee River flows 70 miles from Lake Okeechobee to San Carlos Bay between Lee's two largest cities, Cape Coral and Fort Myers. The Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail meanders 190 miles through Lee County's inland tributaries, mangrove and seagrass estuaries, and manatee and dolphin habitats.
Powder-white beaches are on the gulf sides of Lee's barrier islands, which are also known for shelling, snorkeling, hiking, tarpon fishing, paddling and wildlife. Mangroves and seagrasses fringe the barrier islands' bay sides.
Northern barrier islands, Gasparilla and Cayo Costa, can be reached only by boat through Gasparilla Sound-Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve and Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park. On Gasparilla's southern end are Gasparilla Island State Park, restored 1890s Boca Grande Lighthouse Museum and the village of Boca Grande. Seven miles of powder-white beaches line the island's gulf side.
Across Boca Grande Pass, Cayo Costa State Park covers most of Cayo Costa Island with nine miles of quiet gulf beaches and three other islands. It is great for primitive camping, off-road bicycling and tarpon fishing. To Cayo Costa's east is Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve, lush with birds, manatees, dolphins and expanses of mangroves and seagrasses.
Pine Island, the largest island on Florida's gulf coast is fringed by mangroves and three aquatic preserves. The island sits between mainland Cape Coral and Sanibel Island. Randell Research Center is a research and education center at the Pineland archaeological and historical site, a Calusa Indian village for over 1,500 years. Enormous shell mounds still overlook the waters of Pine Island Sound. The center offers education outreach and the 3,700-foot Calusa Heritage Trail.
Captiva and Sanibel islands are connected by a toll bridge. These popular resorts boast miles of unspoiled beaches covered with shells, bike paths, restaurants, unique shops, cultural events and an 1884 lighthouse. The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge & Bird Sanctuary on Sanibel Island is part of the largest stand of mangroves in the country. The "Ding" Darling Complex encompasses the Caloosahatchee, Matlacha Pass, Pine Island and Island Bay national wildlife refuges that provide feeding, nesting and roosting areas for migratory birds.
North of the Caloosahatchee River, the city of Cape Coral, is interlaced with over 400 miles of fresh and saltwater canals. Next to the river, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve showcases wildlife, trails and canoeing/kayaking. Estero Bay Preserve State Park protects 10 miles of Estero Bay. Fort Myers Beach, on Estero Island, has 25 beach accesses on the gulf. Its shore slopes gradually in shallow waters with no sudden drops or large waves. Mound Key Archaeological State Park, a Calusa Indian ceremonial center, rises above Estero Bay. Inland, Koreshan State Historic Site displays a 19th century religious settlement and 200 acres to hike, picnic, canoe or camp. Next, Lovers Key State Park's four barrier islands are a haven for wildlife and people with two miles of beaches and more. Then on the county line, fast-growing Bonita Springs features soft white sand beaches, dunes and sea oats on Little Hickory Island. Further inland is Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, a bald cypress reserve.

NO Pitbulls should not be banned. All of you people are just ignorant. It's not the breed of dog that is a problem it's the owner. I own a pitbull and it is the friendliest dog ever, and no not look at me imma thug cause you don't need a dog to be tough or a gansta. So look at you you'r an ignorant fag. It's not the breed that it the problem but ignorant people like you that want to think they are all powerful. It's hard enough being a pitbull owner and trying our best to let people see the breed for what it is and not how you want to say. Get some real fact before you start running your mouths try to get the facts. So no don't ban pitbulls.

You know nothing about dogs do you? Pit Bulls are not born with bad attitudes or anymore of an aggressive nature than any other dog. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS - IT'S THE FREAKING OWNERS NOT THE DOGS!!!!
Also, if you ban Pit Bulls, these same bad owners will then move on to other dogs to fill the void like American Bull Dogs (who are twice the size and even stronger) or Rottweilers or Mastiffs. Get a freaking clue!

No, pit bulls are one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. there are so loyal. its the owners that make then mean and aggressive dogs. Pit bulls aren't more aggressive then any other dog, they have the ability to cause more damage because they are stronger but the don't choose to do so. there are many other kinds of dogs that are meaner and bite more often. i have a wonderful pitbull that has never been aggressive to people or other dogs. he rarely ever barks.
and i am not some crackhead hang banger either.
#14 Jul 4, 2010
I say set them free in the lobby of the Standard Insurance Co and let them eat hardy. There is enough fat there to feed all the wolves, pitbulls, and cats in the state. But beware, the meat is a collection from the worthless gutless spineless pieces of sht that work there.

in england pit bulls were breed to b nanny dogs they were the first dog to get awarded a medal in any war so find something else to complain about pit bulls are a different race of dog so what ur saying its alright to ban a race haven't ppl done tried that once already so all u stupid ppl get over it

It is not uncommon to read about these dogs mauling or killing humans and pets.
Take a look at the following link...it is not for the squeamish.

No I don't think they should be banned, they are nice creatures and they do have a purpose in this world. A lot of owners unfortunately aren't responsible and train them to attack random people. I have had one unleashed on me because I was riding my bike on a hiking trail. I barely got away but next time one charges at me i'm going to shoot it in the face that's for damn sure.

Pit Bulls are the sweetest dogs ever. They wouldn't hurt a flee.
Just ignore the evidence such as in the link below.
The poor little brutes of killers; I'm rapt with compassion. Who cares about the kids who get eaten alive.
Criminal charges the for owners when the attacks happen. As a community service the owners should service maul victims in hospitals.

..... u obviously didn't get any significant education in life. For someone to stereotype a breed by some actions they do is retarded on sooo many levels. Golden Retrievers bite people all the time, so do poodles, so do bull mastiffs, so do Labs, why don't we just kill every dog and it will keep you from bitching. You are a low life and really need to stop. For you to say Gangster this, move out of my way when walking down the street, goes to show how pathetic you are as a person. Don't take it out on the breed and the owners just for the simple fact that your not enough of a man to deal with your own problems. Did mommy not love you as a kid? i'm sorry, did she not let you have a little puppy when your were growing up. Your Pathetic and make me sick.

Ban Bad Dog Owners!!
#22 Jul 25, 2011
Owners who have a vicious dog on their premises should be required to have a million dollar policy rider attached to their homeowners policy to handle death or mauling by one of the little babies. Even the best pit can snap for no reason and attack so it would keep the sheriff from taking away all your toys in a lawsuit and judgement which are running in high six and seven figures. It's not a matter of if but when.

Ban them! They are born with a provclivity to attack. The big problem is the very way they are built, their larger than usual jaw size, amazing upper body dtrength, combined with owners who do not always understand the importance of training, or leash laws that often are broken. So many stories of children being attacked, disfiqured for life! Or worse, they die. I dont recall hearing a story about a jack russel, or lab, or many other dogs behaving so unpredictably. Yes some responsibility is on the owners. But stupid people are not going to go away. At the very least these owners should be force to take out ins. In case of tragidy, or worse death. If their animal doesnt bite , then they have no worries. Why should innocent children have 2 class citizenship over dogs! Protect our children!

Helen Keller's family actually had pitbulls---as a blind and deaf woman, she was probably stepping on or tripping over them all the time, and they never mauled her. Every single person I've ever talked to who has has a pitbull seems to say the same thing, that it is lazy or abusive owners who ruin the dogs, so I am inclined to believe them.
#25 Aug 24, 2011
If owners say they won't bite, then instead of banning them, require muzzles 24/7 when outside the house. Make the fines around a thousand per violation to get people's attention.Also add Rottweilers,Dobermans,Chows,Ge rman Shepherds,Alaskan Malmutes,Akitas,Siberian Huskies, and any wolf hybrid. Those are the main list of "vicious" dogs. Also note that if you own rental properties, YOU can be held responsible for allowing a vicious animal to be kept on the property. Many renters don't carry the type of insurance to cover major damage and reconstructive surgeries, so it comes back to the landlord. Know what your tenants are up to before the sheriff delivers your papers.

The old Chiricahua uttered a loud whoop as he sprang to his feet.
One goes over toward the Chiricahua Mountains where our ranch is, the other toward Gleeson where we have to go to take the girls.
"But that day at Chiricahua you spoke of faith," he burst out.
The distant Chiricahua range, at the foot of which nestled the Newcomb ranch, was hung with a misty lilac haze.
Noon came, and the Chiricahua brought them some army bread, some fried bacon, and some coffee.
The party of rancheros and Chiricahua militia who had blazed away at Kah-go-mish may have been a kind of scouting-party.
Neither could Colonel Evans, when the Chiricahua repeated them.
A sort of mutual council of war of all the officers and Colonel Evans was held over the body of the dead Chiricahua scout.
This done, she impulsively determined to go to Chiricahua herself.
The glances bestowed upon the Chiricahua by Ping and Tah-nu-nu were not arrows, or they would have killed him.

Remediation & Redevelopment Program
Petroleum contamination and leaking underground storage tanks
Gas, oil and other hazardous petroleum products are used daily in Wisconsin businesses and homes. Many petroleum releases come from storage tanks, known by the acronyms UST (Underground Storage Tank), AST (Aboveground Storage Tank) and LUST (Leaking Underground Storage Tank). When petroleum products are released into the soil or groundwater, the DNR will work with the responsible party and environmental professionals to clean up the spill to state standards.
Wisconsin UST and LUST overview
As of July 2013, Wisconsin's regulatory program for cleanup of contamination from petroleum storage tanks is run by the DNR.
Department responsibilities
The DNR is responsible for the following activities.
- Establishing investigation and remedial action requirements for contamination in the Ch. NR 700, Wis. Adm. Code, series of environmental rules.
- Oversight of cleanups at petroleum tank discharges.
- Wisconsin's fund for reimbursement of environmental cleanup costs (PECFA).
Other department responsibilities
The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) maintains Wisconsin's tank registration database [exit DNR] and is responsible for tank regulations for both underground and aboveground tank systems.
The Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) maintains a list of PECFA-registered consulting firms.
Wisconsin tank regulations
- Storage tank regulations [exit DNR] - Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP)
- ATCP 93, Wis. Adm. Code [exit DNR] - DATCP rule: Governs installation, registration, maintenance and abandonment of petroleum tanks.
- Chs. NR 700 to 754, Wis. Adm. Code [exit DNR] - DNR rules: Investigation and remediation of environmental contamination
- NR 746, Wis. Adm. Code [exit DNR] - DNR rule: Agency roles and responsibilities for petroleum contaminated sites
- PECFA - The Petroleum Environmental Cleanup Fund Award (PECFA) is the DNR's reimbursement program for cleaning up contamination from storage tank systems.
- NR 747, Wis. Adm. Code [exit DNR] - DNR rule: Governs reimbursement from PECFA.

Federal reports
Federal Energy Act reports
The federal Energy Act of 2005 amended state public record requirements for discharges from petroleum underground storage tank systems (UST). Federal law now requires states to collect information about the sources and causes of environmental discharges from UST's and include that information in their public records.
This data is collected throughout the year and posted annually. The period of collection is October 1 to September 30 (Federal Fiscal Year). Reports are achieved by the end of the calendar year.

Report contents
The data provided by the notification of a release is broken down in two categories; source and cause. The "source" is where the release started. The "cause" of a release is an indication of why the component or transfer failed.
The first four sources listed here are physical components of a tank system.
- Tank - The tank that stores the product and is part of the UST system.
- Piping - The piping and connectors running from the tank or submersible turbine pump to the dispenser or other end-use equipment. It does not include vent, vapor recovery or fill lines.
- Dispenser - Includes the dispenser and equipment used to connect the dispenser to the piping. For example, a release from a suction pump or components located above the shear valve would be considered a release from the dispenser.
- Submersible Turbine Pump (STP) Area - Includes the submersible turbine pump head (typically located in the tank sump), the line leak detector, and the piping that connects the STP to the tank.
- Delivery Problem - Identifies releases that occurred during product delivery to the tank. Typically causes associated with this source are spills and overfills.
- Other - Used when the release does not fit into one of the above categories. For example, releases from vent lines, vapor recovery lines and fill lines.
- Spill - A discharge from the system while product is being delivered to or removed from the tank system.
- Overfill - A specific type of spill caused by attempting to place a greater volume in the tank system than its designed capacity.
- Physical or Mechanical Damage - Failure of a tank system or component due to an external element.
- Corrosion - Failure of a tank system or component due to chemical breakdown, i.e. rust.
- Installation Problem - Used when the cause is a direct result of improper installation.
- Other - Used when the cause is known, but does not fit one of the categories above.
- Unknown
Submitting records to DNR
Tank system owners and operators, or contractors or consultants acting on their behalf, must report discharges to the environment as required by state law. This may be done using section six of DNR's Notification for Hazardous Substance Discharge (Form 4400-225) [PDF].
Some combinations of information regarding the source and the cause of the discharge are not valid. The most common errors include invalid combinations of sources and causes of discharges from tank systems. Examples of invalid combinations include:
- Source = Tank, Cause = Spill
By definition a spill would occur during delivery to a tank and this should be reported as a Delivery Problem.
- Source = Piping, Cause = Spill or Overfill
Piping may leak due to damage or corrosion, but it can not spill or be overfilled.
- Source = Submersible Pump, Cause = Spill or Overfill
A pump may leak due to damage or corrosion, but it can not spill or be overfilled.
- Source = Delivery Problem, Cause = Physical/Mechanical Damage or Corrosion
Delivery equipment is not part of the tank system. If the filling port attached to the tank system is damaged, this should be reported as a Spill or Overfill, whichever is more accurate.

Blue Chips End Higher, Techs Slip
Blue chips retreated from session highs but finished solidly higher Thursday, while tech issues couldn't keep earlier gains to end lower.
Investors focused on upbeat earnings reports from telephone giant WorldCom Inc. (WCOM ) and software maker PeopleSoft Inc. (PSFT ). "That's kind of boosting optimism that other earnings will rebound," Joseph Belew, who manages the Firstar Stellar Relative Value Fund/A, told Standard & Poor's research unit. Shares of WorldCom and PeopleSoft ended higher.
Earnings aside, Wall Street was still basking in the afterglow of Wednesday's report on advances in new home sales, laying to rest for now fears about a recession. March's monthly advances of 4.2% for new home sales and of 4.8% for existing home sales left the "recessionistas" at a loss for words, notes Kerryn Fowlie of Moody's in London. Granted the March results on home sales are unsustainable, but first-quarter 2001's 15% annualized increase by total home sales from the fourth quarter in 2000, and the category's 2.3% yearly increase for the first quarter in 2001 refute the presence of a recession, Fowlie added.
But there was plenty of bad news too. After the closing bell Wednesday, tech bellwether Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM ) reported quarterly earnings that matched Wall Street's expectations. But the wireless tech company warned third-quarter earnings would land short of estimates in a weak global economy. Shares of Qualcomm shed more than 7%.
Other stocks in the news included Kellogg Co. (K ). The cereal maker said first-quarter earnings fell, meeting estimates, as the company prepared to integrate its acquisition of Keebler Foods Co. (KBL ).
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 67.15 points, or 0.63%, to 10,692.35. The Nasdaq Composite index slipped 24.84 points, or 1.21%, to 2,034.96. Meanwhile, the broader S&P 500 was higher by 5.78 points, or 0.47%, to 1,234.53.
Treasury Market
U.S. Treasuries finished higher. In economic news, the government reported new jobless claims jumped to 408,000 in the week ending Apr. 21 from an upwardly revised 390,000 in the prior week, well above the 390,000 median forecast. The data clearly leaves loosening in the labor market intact, according to Standard & Poor's research unit. Additionally, the first quarter Employment Cost Index rose 1.1%, as expected. On Friday, the focus will be on the gross domestic product, or GDP, report for the first quarter.
World Markets
European markets ended up. In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index added 40.80 points, or 0.70%, to 5,868.30. In Germany, the DAX Index gained 8.47 points, or 0.14%, to 6,123.66. In France, the CAC 40 was up 73.89 points, or 1.37%, to 5,481.73.
In Asia, the markets finished higher. The Nikkei gained 145.53 points, or 1.05%, to 13,973.03. Bank and brokerage stocks extended gains amid signs the new prime minister will promote reform. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng added 43.56 points, or 0.33%, to 13,293.11.

Have you ever seen a little boy and girl playing together in the sandbox and exclaimed, "Oooh la la! Jenny found a new boyfriend!" or "Aww! Tommy is flirting again!"?
I hear parents do it all the time. Some parents even insist that their children are "in love" with the neighbor boy, a girl in preschool or a friend's child.
I can't help but think that this type of behavior will inevitably manifest itself in a toddler's development. Does it teach our children that any member of the opposite sex that you connect with has to be a romantic partner? Does it boil all male/female relationships down to a simple boyfriend-girlfriend dynamic? And, perhaps more importantly, don't we have anything better to talk about?
It strikes me as odd and meddlesome for a parent to create a love life for a child, but maybe I'm over thinking it. What do you think? Is it harmless and cute for parents to gush over their kids' budding relationships? Is it something more perverse? You tell us!

On Saturday, I ran one of my favorite half marathons in the state... the Tom King Half Marathon.
I've run this one quite a few times, and it's known for having terrifically crappy weather. This year we got lucky. It was in the 60s with a breeze, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
I met up with some of my favorite runners and got checked in, and I was excited to wear my new East Nasty top. (Melissa, Liz, me, Matt, and Erin)
I was also excited to see one of the guys from my last job and his wife. I love these two, and I don't get to see them often enough!
I was feeling pretty good, but I still wasn't sure what I was capable of for the day. My plan was to start out by taking it easy and assess as the miles went by whether or not I could pick it up.
Matt and I started out together, and we found that was easily ran in first mile under 8:30. I was honestly a little shocked because it really didn't feel like we were running that fast, and I immediately felt nervous about whether or not I had started out too fast.
As the next couple of miles went by, I felt warm. I had felt a little ridiculous putting on a tank top and sorts that morning, but I was SO thankful that I did! If there hadn't been a breeze, I think it might have ended up being a pretty miserable run. This is the first time in months that I've run in temperatures this warm.
I also felt a side stitch. It wasn't totally there, but I knew that it could get ugly at any moment. I focused on my breathing and form, and after a few miles managed to get it to clear up.
Somewhere around mile 8 I flipped on my iPod for a little background noise. Matt and I had been chatting a little bit, and we had run for a while with Liz and chatted with her... but I felt like it was time to focus in a bit more. We had been running a lot of miles in the vicinity of the 8:30 pace, and I wanted to keep it up.
I think I took off a bit a little before mile 11. I was definitely not able to run too much faster, but I felt strong and wanted to see what I could pull off. I knew that I was going sub-2:00, which is really all I wanted to do... but I started thinking I could break 1:55 and began to push.
As I got closer to the stadium, I knew I could pull it off as long as I didn't fall apart. Before long, I was running up the tunnel onto the Titans field and running around the field to the finish line. I think I was focusing pretty hard on not throwing up (I had a spectator in the stands that I did NOT want to witness that!) so I never noticed them say my name or see myself on the JumboTron.
It turns out I clocked a 1:54:43. I'll take it! It's about 2 minutes off my PR, and it's not sub-1:50 like I'd like to do someday... but considering I haven't been training quite right and it took me so long to recover from Disney, I was pretty pleased. I also placed 25 out of 109 gals in my age group!
I found Matt and Liz after the race, and we were all glad to get this one behind us. We had some food in the stadium club to celebrate that we all managed to survive qualifying for the Marathon Maniacs with three marathons over November, December and January. None of us really had the race we wanted, but it's nice to know we're getting there.
