NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 2, 2010 - Following its debut in August 2008, the highly-anticipated third annual New Haven Food & Wine Festival returns on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 from 5 - 7:30pm. This year�s event features twenty restaurants, providing visitors with even more opportunities to experience the city�s award-winning and internationally-diverse cuisine from the convenience of one location, 2010 Pilot Pen Tennis at Yale.

�New Haven is truly a foodie destination,� world-renowned chef and cookbook author, Jacques Pepin, said. �Visitors this year will have an opportunity to sample the culinary creations of the region�s innovative chefs, who proudly call New Haven home. It�s the perfect time of year to enjoy great food and wine, wonderful company and, as an added perk, some of the best tennis in the world.�
In addition to the New Haven Food & Wine Festival, visitors can purchase tickets to two other �Special Access� off-court events at Pilot Pen Tennis . A Lux Bond & Green sponsored event, �Wine Tasting in Riedel Crystal� will take place on Tuesday, August 24 and feature a wine tasting and instructional workshop with a Riedel representative who will demonstrate the importance of the shape of a wine glass. The workshop will be followed by light hors d�oeuvres and an evening of tennis in the Courtside Club - an air-conditioned suite overlooking Stadium Court.

Jurgen Klinsmann says he has "nothing to prove" when he faces his former team Germany.
USA boss Klinsmann was Germany coach for two years and faces his native country for the first time today in the decisive match in Group G.
A draw will see both USA and Germany progress to the last 16 at the expense of Portugal and Ghana, and Klinsmann, 49, said he is ready for the challenge.
"I have nothing to prove," said Klinsmann. "I enjoyed my job at Germany and a turbulent year at Bayern, but I am looking forward to this game.
"My family will be split, in Germany and the US, and that's part of it. It's a beautiful game.
"It's a great time for soccer in the US. The game is growing in every corner of the country.
"Our players did iot against Ghana and Portugal, and now I want them to do the same against Germany.
"I want them to go the extra mile and find extra energy to get a result, because we are capable of beating Germany.
"We know that. without being too over-confident, too positive. This World Cup is full of surprises."
Germany boss Joachim Low was Klinsmann's assistant when he was in charge of his native country and the foer Tottenham striker paid tribute to his old friend.
"We grew over two years of a partnership and we have always been very close," said Klinsmann.
"We think alike, we come from the same region and we've always stayed in contact.
"In this World Cup everyone is doing the best they can – Jogi does and I do. We leave phones and texts out of the way and get the job done.
"In three weeks from now we will be back on the phone and talk about it and visit each other's families. It is a very close friendship, a lot of admiration.
"What he has done over the last eight years is outstanding. He has developed a team, very confident, high-paced, with a wonderful style, attacking, giving young players chances.
"It's so fun to watch his German side from the outside. I'm proud of what he and the players have done. They are one of the three or four favourites to win it, they have the potential to win it."

Arctic Monkeys boost upbeat crowd as Glastonbury mud dries
By Isla Binnie
PILTON, England (Reuters) - British indie rock band Arctic Monkeys cranked up the volume to end the first day of the Glastonbury festival on Friday when the sun emerged after 18 hours of rain to brighten up the mood.
The band from Sheffield in northern England began by blasting their new single "Do I Wanna Know?" to about 100,000 high-spirited revelers from the main Pyramid stage at the world's largest greenfield music festival in southwest England.
"We're going to play all night long Glastonbury. Does that sound good?" yelled frontman Alex Turner to the screaming crowd which has been arriving at the sprawling 900 acre (365-hectare) farm site since Wednesday.
The band was the headline act of the day which started at 6 a.m. ET when Liam Gallagher, who led the 1990s supergroup Oasis with his brother Noel, kicked off three days of music with his band Beady Eye at one of the event's 58 stages.
Beady Eye's appearance was meant to be a surprise but ended up being one of the worst kept secrets of the 2013 festival after Gallagher was spotted arriving earlier in the week.
Despite vowing never to play at Glastonbury again after criticizing the event in 2004, Gallagher began an hour-long set with the hit "Flick of the Finger" and pulled out crowd pleasers like "Morning Glory".
"It's never too early for a bit of rock 'n roll aggro, is it?" said a black-clad Gallagher wearing a pair of sunglasses despite the overcast skies.
Other acts on Friday included Sinead O'Connor, Dizzee Rascal, a red-clad Rita Ora, and up-and-coming Bastille. Continued...

10 stoner ideas for bringing peace to Iraq
By: Clyde JonesClyde JonesHey, whatsup y?all. Been passing out with CNN on a lot lately, and I've noticed that shit seems pretty farked up over in Iraq. Also heard like, most of the Democrats have the same ideas for what to do about it as Bush does. Which got me thinking. I got ideas coming out the ass, especially when I toke on the ganja, which is pretty much all the time. So I came up with this list of presents we can all give to Iraq for Christmas.
1. Air Conditioners ? doesn?t this make hella sense? Like, it?s hot as hell over there. And there are sandstorms and shit. I don?t know about you, but if I was living in some 135 degree heat with sand going down my clothes and butt-cheeks all the time, I?d want to blow myself up too. Air conditioners! I?m telling you, they make life worth living.
2. Marijuana (Kind Bud) ? I believe it was Lincoln who said Americans should have a ?turkey in every pot.? Well, I think Iraqis should have 'pot in every house.' Weed. It?s calming. I don?t know about you, but personally, if it wasn?t for the soothing cannabis plant, I would'nt be able to function like a sane human being either. So we should definitely send the Iraqis some weed. But not just any weed. We need to make sure they get tons and tons of the good stuff. That's right. I?m talking kind bud. Cause shitty weed just pisses you off. Things're so messed up in Iraq, only the strongest Mary Jane will work. Seriously. It clears your head out and puts you at peace with the world. If you?ve never smoked weed before, just trust me on this, kind bud for Iraq. It?ll work.
3. Pizza Hut ? another problem they got over there is people are starving. I think. I mean, I?m pretty sure they got food problems. They live in the desert? They?re starving. And starving people tend to get pissed off easy. I should know, it happens to me all the time. And there?s only one thing that saves me when I?m starving and pissed. Pizza Hut! All we have to do is install about 200 Pizza Huts all over Iraq, and in the future, instead of attacking a UN food convoy, all Iraqis will have to do is pick up the phone and order a ?Meat Lovers? pizza!
4. Xbox 360?s ? but as awesome as it would be for Iraqis to get high off some killer kind bud and eat some Pizza Hut, it would suck if they then had nothing to do. No entertainment. That wouldn?t be good. We'd end up with wicked high Iraqis blowing themselves up just looking for some fun. So that's another big problem for Iraq. But hey, this new Xbox 360 game system looks sweet as hell. I say, give every Iraqi an Xbox 360, and they?ll be too busy blowing shit up (virtually) to blow shit up in the real world.
5. Controller Port/Extra Controllers ? however, as fun as the Xbox 360 is, it sucks if you only have one controller. Because then only one person can play! So, we need to teach Iraqis to share. Otherwise, the shortage of Xbox 360?s and their controllers could lead to anger, tramplings, decapitations, or worse. So, I think, as long as we?re giving Iraqis Xboxes, we should give them extra controllers and controller ports, so all the Imams can play and no one will have to get pissed off. We should also make sure to resupply them new controllers as they wear out. We don't want Iraqis having to argue over who has to use the shitty controller.
6. Madden 2006 ? and as long as Iraqis are going to be playing Xbox 360, I think they should all be given America?s favorite sport in videogame form, Madden 2006. The NFL! It?s great! You can take out all your anger out on opposing teams. I guarantee this much: Give a 16-year-old Sunni the choice between killing himself and spending his life playing videogame football, and he?ll make the right choice every time.
7. Marsh Mellows ? Ok. Um, I kind of had trouble getting all the way to ten, but I also do think Marsh Mellows could do some good in Iraq. Think about it. They?re soft. White. Just like Americans! Iraqis could deal with their anger with Americans by eating Marsh Mellows. Or they could roast us on an open fire! And let us melt in their mouth with some Graham crackers and chocolate. In any case, it would make a good desert for them, after all, let?s not forget, they?re all stoned our of their minds bro.
8. Budweiser ? the king of beers would add a touch of class to Iraq. I know they?re not supposed to drink, cause they?re all Muslim, but, c?mon. Maybe that?s part of the problem. They need to loosen up some, and I say we loosen'em. Just send some American fraternity brothers over there, and supply them with an endless amount of Budweiser. They'll peer pressure those Iraqis into taking beer bongs and keg-stands, and before you know it Iraqis will be a bunch of happy go lucky party people. You get drunk, you loosen up, it's awesome. It makes me want to sing.
9. Acoustic Guitars ? which brings me to my next idea. How about we send Iraq a whole bunch of guitars, and like, teach them how to play Beatles songs? Then, not only would they be stoned, drunk, well-fed, and well-entertained, they?d also be singing happy songs of love and peace! Imagine.
10. Whores ? The final piece of the happiness puzzle. Add a good group of whores to the lineup of pleasures I?ve laid out, and you?ll see those suicide bombings drop pretty damn fast. Who needs 70 virgins in Heaven when you?ve already got 4 slutty wenches in the room just raring to go?
So there it is. My ideas for bringing peace to Iraq by Christmas. Mail this list to your Congressman or Senator, and let?s get this shit solved and bring the troops home already. Cause seriously, my best bud Nick is over there, and he says it sucks so much it?s ri-goddamn-diculous.

I bought these from a local propane distributor. Expect them to be at least as much as a 20# cylinder if not more due to lower demand.
I wouldn't buy propane tanks online unless you have no other choice. They are heavy and bulky to ship.
The only reason I bought 11# instead of 20# cylinders is they are for a Scout troop and needed them lighter for the boys to carry. I also wanted the pancake shape so they won't tip.

Our Home Depot has them for about $60.00. I bought one
from them. Then had to go to Camping World the next day
and they had them for $54.00 regular, then with discount
bought it. Took back the Home Depot one.

Dittos here. I have the 5lb one and with 1 gallon of capacity it is only ~$2.50 to fill.
To be nice I only fill it when I have at least one other 20lb to fill up at the same time.

on 09/20/10 06:34pm
I have only found one or two places even remotely near by that charge for fills by the pound. Everyone else charges for a full 20# cylinder no matter how much or little propane they put in. They even charge the 20# rate for the 11# cylinders.

Our town in Colorado has three propane sellers that I know
of. Only one tries to gyp you to pay a set fee for a 20lb.
If you press them to pay by the gallon, they will do it.
If you show up with a 30 lb tank, they will fill by gallon
as it is not considered for BBQ ?? Who made up that rule?
I rarely go there anymore. Still, propane here is more
expensive than diesel fuel.

Bought the one from Camping World on sale. First time ever I found something there cheaper than anywhere else. Paid by the gallon to fill and it works great and is easy to move around. I figure after I use one tank full it will have paid for itself instead of using those little one pound cylinders.

Normally if I have city and highway driving I average more around 30. Since these numbers seemed low to me I figured since I just got the car in december - maybe I need to adjust my driving habits. Since my last car was a 2004 Toyota Echo I started to realize that I push down on the accelator a little fast. In my old car that's what it took to get her moving...but in the focus it just seems to waste more fuel.
So after the fillup yesterday I decided to ease up on the acceleration and try to retrain my foot for the focus. Keeping an eye on the avg mpg I've traveled about 100 miles since yesterday in city conditions and kept it between 27-28 mpg. I've been working on better acceleration and maintaining a speed vs constantly changing. So we'll see how that improves my mpg.
Driving habit is everything but driving like that in the city can be a challenge.

Bearcats Drop Season Finale to RedHawks, 3-1
Nov. 24, 2012
CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati women's volleyball team suffered a 3-1 (26-24, 18-25, 22-25, 21-25) loss in its final game of the season at Miami (Ohio) on Saturday, Nov. 24.
The Bearcats (12-20, 9-6 BIG EAST) earned 54 kills and recorded a .226 hitting percentage against the RedHawks' (10-20, 4-12 MAC) 58 kills and .338 hitting percentage. Seniors Megan Turner (Ontario, N.Y./ Wayne Central) and Jordanne Scott (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) led UC with 12 and 10 kills, respectively. Junior Emily MacIntyre's (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown) made a match-high 15 digs.
Cincinnati won the first set in the competitive match, 26-24. The Bearcats never trailed by more than one point and led by as many as four. The Cats called their lone timeout of the game following MU 6-2 run to give the RedHawks their second lead of the game at 23-22. Back to back kills from both Scott and senior Becca Refenes (Westland, Mich./Lutheran Westland) gave UC the win. Scott contributed eight of her 10 kills in the set, while Refenes earned all but one of her one of her seven kills.
Out of the gate, the second set remained tight until a 7-1 and run by RedHawks forced Cincinnati head coach Molly Alvey to call a timeout at 14-9, MU. The RedHawks lead stretched to 12 points before the Red and Black were able to close the gap to six at 23-17. A service error by and a kill from Lisa Treadway gave the MU the second game, 25-18. The RedHawks finished the game with 13 kills to UC's seven.
Set three was back and forth with no team trailing by more than two until Miami took a three-point lead at 19. Back-to-back kills from Morgan Allred (Carrolton, Texas/Hebron) brought the Bearcats to within one until a Cincinnati hitting error and MU kill took the lead back to three. Following a UC timeout, Alvey's team was able to shrink the gap back to two, before the RedHawks claimed the set, 25-22.
Entering the fourth set, MU jumped to a 3-0 ended by an Emily Hayden (Louisville, Ky./Assumption) kill. The Bearcats scored two more points to tie the game at three, prior to Miami going on a 5-1 run. Miami errors, and kills from Turner and Me'Ashah Nicholson (Shiloh, Ill./Belleville Althoff) gave UC the 12-11 lead. The Bearcats lead once more throughout the match. After a 4-2 run by UC, the Cats were within one of MU at 21-20 and forced a timeout. Out of the break, the RedHawks clinched the match, outscoring UC four to one to win 25-21.
The Bearcats end their first season under Coach Alvey with a 12-20 overall record.

Georgetown College men's basketball avenged one of its few losses with an 86-81 win Thursday over rival St. Catharine.
The No. 13 Tigers (18-5, 9-3) needed to weather a fierce fight in the second half as the Patriots (13-8, 7-5) erased an eight-point halftime deficit. SCC won the second 20, but a huge late three by Noah Cottrill all but sealed the deal for GC. Monty Wilson dropped a game-high 23, but it was his drive and kick to Cottrill in the left corner that was icing on the game. The sophomore finished with 13. Trenity Burdine came off the bench for 14. Deondre McWhorter and Dominique Hagans each finished with 10. In close games it comes down to free throws as well and the Tigers were 34-39 in Davis-Reid Alumni Gym.
Omar Skinner and William Tolefree led SCC with 16, while Romeo Lewis and Raymon Austin had 10 each.
Georgetown returns to action 4 pm Saturday against Campbellsville University.

PHILADELPHIA - Michael Guerreri wanted to try human growth hormones so he could look like a pro wrestler. Joe Badalanato hoped HGH would help him become a better football player. James O'Brien figured the drug would improve his fastball.
The three 18-year-olds from suburban Philadelphia told The Associated Press this week that they bought bottles of HGH online in the past year. Turns out, what they bought was fake.
Their experiences are part of a growing trend.
Experimentation with human growth hormones by America's teens more than doubled in the past year, according to a national survey released Wednesday by the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.
"I would say at least 20-25 percent use anabolic steroids," said Frank Trumbetti, owner of Rock Bottom Nutrition and Fitness Center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. "As for HGH, there is such an overuse of everything when it comes to looking for real stuff."
Many products claiming to be human growth hormones are widely available on the Internet. But getting authentic HGH - which can cost up to $1,000 per kit for a monthly supply - isn't that simple.
"It's a lot easier for high school athletes to get over-the-counter pro-hormones than legitimate HGH," said Steve Saunders, CEO of Power Train Sports Institute.
Saunders trains thousands of high school and college athletes and hundreds of professional athletes at his 15 locations across six states, including Hawaii. James Harrison, Hines Ward, LeSean McCoy and even actor Liam Hemsworth are just a few of his previous clients.
"We tell all our guys you can't substitute hard work and a proper nutrition plan," Saunders said. "Using HGH and steroids is pure laziness."
But many athletes are looking for a quick fix and turning to performance-enhancing drugs.
In a confidential 2013 survey of 3,705 high school students, 11 percent reported using synthetic HGH at least once - up from about 5 percent in the four preceding annual surveys. Teen use of steroids increased from 5 percent to 7 percent over the same period, the survey found.
However, like the teenagers from suburban Philadelphia, many teens might not know what they're taking.
"We had no clue we weren't using real HGH," Guerreri said. "We figured it out when we didn't get any results from it and then a guy at our gym told us HGH doesn't come in a bottle."
The three friends were walking around the ballpark during a Phillies-Giants game on Monday night wearing fitted T-shirts. The attire showed off their bulging biceps, and the trio say they tried various supplements - both legal and illegal - throughout their high school years.
Guerreri, who is 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, is chiseled. He's closer to accomplishing his goal than his two friends because he looks a little like Randy Orton, his favorite WWE star.
Badalanato didn't even start at running back his senior year and remains undecided on college. O'Brien's fastball only topped out at 81 mph.
"A lot of guys we know are interested in HGH, but it's much easier to get other stuff that's cheaper and works faster," Badalanato said.
Dr. John Kolonich, a chiropractor in Franklinville, New Jersey, said authentic HGH is only injectable and also noted it is very expensive.
"It has to be refrigerated once it's constituted and it's not a testosterone where in two weeks you start noticing results," Kolonich said. "HGH is not the drug of choice for a high school kid who wants to play better.
That doesn't stop teens from looking for it.
Trumbetti said teens - and parents - ask him about it every day. He said he threatened to call child services on a dad who wanted to put his 14-year-old son on human growth hormones. The boy was only 5-foot-2 and 108 pounds.
"That's just one example," Trumbetti said. "You have some moms and dads that are afraid to have their kids take just protein powder and then you have parents that are encouraging it and more like steroids or HGH because they think it'll help their kid get a college scholarship."

Meyer and the No. 3 Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) will bid farewell to their seniors on Senior Day on Saturday at Ohio Stadium, as well as a notable draft-eligible player. Ohio State will then play Indiana for a chance to claim the program's second consecutive Leaders Division title and its first-ever berth to the Big Ten Championship Game.
"That's why you come to Ohio State as a coach or a player," Meyer said during his Wednesday press conference at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. "To get to November and play for a championship, and they know that now. It's not like we're talking about that yet. Tuesday and Wednesday are for getting ready for (Indiana)."
In addition to the seniors that will step on the Ohio Stadium turf for the final time, redshirt junior corner Bradley Roby will play his last collegiate home game, too. Meyer confirmed that he and Roby discussed his remaining year of eligibility and agreed that it was time for the player to move on.
"We talked and he's going to go move on," Meyer said. "And that's all you ask. You don't ask for five years nowadays. Not probably, he's gone. … I think it's great for him (and) great for Ohio State.
As for those players that have exhausted their eligibility, the Senior Day festivities will honor a class that Meyer said was unique and different compared to the 2012 seniors. The class' personality, he said, is derived mostly from the seniors on the offensive line, including Jack Mewhort, Corey Linsley and Andrew Norwell. Meyer also mentioned the impact that safety C.J. Barnett and running back Carlos Hyde have had on the Buckeyes, lauding both players for climbing from the depths of the roster just a couple years ago to becoming key cogs in the current 22-game winning streak.
"It's emotional," Meyer said of bidding farewell to the seniors. "Not every senior class is good. For some of them it's time to go, time to move on with their careers. The last two (senior classes) we've had here have been not good but great. That's going to be real hard. Once again, that's not because they're seniors. It's because of what they've done."
As for the Hoosiers, currently the No. 14-ranked scoring offense in America, Meyer said he is concerned about Indiana's prolific attack but is also encouraged by the return of injured players to all phases of the game.
Linebackers Curtis Grant )ankle, back) and Joshua Perry (head), absent from the Illinois victory because of injury, both practiced on Wednesday and will play Saturday against the Hoosiers, Meyer said.
"Josh is a go. Curtis practiced, he'll probably be about 80 or 90 percent," Meyer said.
Perry will rejoin the special teams unit, Meyer added.
Freshman defensive lineman Joey Bosa, who totaled 2.5 sacks and four tackles in less than one half against the Fighting Illini but was forced from the game with a neck injury, will also play against Indiana. Mewhort is also "good to go" for the Indiana game, Meyer said, after tweaking his knee last week in practice.

Here's an idea for power tool storage.
The business next to my work tossed a couple of these and set 'em next to the dumpster. I grabbed this one. It was the best of the bunch. Absolutely nothing wrong with it! It's a heavy duty HON. Thing weighs a ton!
When I saw it I knew immediately what I was gonna use it for! Took some measurements and sure enough, it'll fit! Into my truck it went!
Most of my corded power tools sit on these two warped corkboard shelves, next to the welding table. Not only do they get covered with grinding dust but the whole thing just looks unsightly!
Spent an hour or so after work tonight and tore out the junk shelves. Rebraced it and cleaned everything up. Fits like a glove!
Woodworking tools in the bottom drawer, metal working tools in the top. I'll probably lay some carpet or something in there as drawer liners.
Looks much better than before and now the tools are protected too!
Some days it really pays to go to work . Great recycling work !
nice :thumbup:
I did not see the jack in one of those draws.... where did it go? LOL
I used old dressers put real wheels on them and a new top so i could work on top of them. My jack did not fit in any of the drawers either....
Storage Ideas
Take a look around your workshop (or garage, we will use both these terms to mean the same thing). Where do you see the most empty space? If you are a disorganised kind of person most of your stuff will be on the floor whereas the walls will be relatively free.
It pays to make efficient use of wall space. If you visit any kind of home centre or depot you will immediately realise how well they take advantage of the wall space to display items. Getting things off the floor and into the air is one of the key principles when it comes to workshop or any other kind of storage problem solving.
Excellent idea!
Re: Here is an idea for tool storage
File cabinets make great storage, they can hold lots of weight, especially the ones you found.
I try to keep most ALL my tools in plastic tool boxes with a few exceptions, along with parts, accessories, tools for the tool, blades, disks grinding wheels and etc. That way when I need the tool I have everything I need in one box. I don't have to go looking for something in the middle of a project. It's also nice when I need a tool away from home, I can grab the box and go and know I have everything I need. The tools don't get dusty or dirty and the cords don't get tangled up or the plugs bent and destroyed.
Very nice.

Anyone know a good source to show how many Volts, and possibly other EV's are on the road?
I guess we could start with Volt production numbers. Are they tablulated somewhere here?

2013 Volt #D8115

Assuming there are no null VINs, GM has built something in excess of 35,000 Volts/Ampera at this point - almost 5k 2011s, around 29k 2012s, and the 2013s they are building now.
In the sales estimates threads there's usually a slide with running totals for Volt and Leaf posted after the monthly number comes out.

Thanks Everyone!
2013 Volt #D8115
Formerly 2011 Volt #B1514
In the USA I believe the Leaf numbers are about 13,000.
About 1,000 Tesla roadsters. And 10 Model S
Nero, do you know when production started back up at Hamtramck? I remember that one or two D's got shipped on the 6th, but I think those were the ones that were built in June. Anyway the reason I ask is because they seem to have built 3079 Volts awfully fast. I think there were just over 100 D's built before the shutdown, and I thought that production started again on July 9th. If your Volt was assigned VIN 3079 on the 24th, GM built around 2900 Volts in 11 work days, which is a bit of an increase in their rate of production. 1310 Volt/Amperas a week isn't a huge increase over the 1050 they were being produced at, but it is a step in the right direction.
If they are building at a rate of 1310 a week, the 20 weeks from now to the Christmas line shutdown would see over 26,000 Volts/Amperas built. Add that to the 4,000 13's already produced and the production of the 2012 MY prior to the June shutdown and the production number for Volts in 2012 is looking to be a good bit higher than it was in 2011.

If they are in "burst mode" doing 3000+ Volts in July - then maybe GE is planning on their first wave of purchases? They wrote an intention order of 10,000 Volts maybe a year or more ago. I think, however, they said something like "we will be buying 10K Electric vehicles" so maybe it is a mix of vendors' stuff. Since they hold 5MM shares of AONE they might be ordering some Spark EVs as well or Fisker Karmas for their executives (which contain A123 cells).

Final plat OKd for Swan Lake project
WILLMAR -- A final plat for a residential development on Swan Lake in Kandiyohi Township was approved Monday by the Kandiyohi County Planning Commission. The plat includes six residential homes in an R-1 shoreland district.
Since the preliminary plat for the development was approved by the planning commission in May 2004, the proposal was side-lined in a Kandiyohi County court on the issue of who owned a road leading to the proposed development site.
When the application for the preliminary plat was made, it was believed the road was an unimproved township road. The applicants submitted a petition for the township to take over the road and improve it, which was denied by Kandiyohi Township.
The issue resulted in a civil lawsuit, according to Gary Geer, Kandiyohi County Zoning Administrator. The county was not involved with the litigation and Geer was not familiar with the specifics of the litigation.
He said, however, the court determined in 2005 that the road did not belong to the township.
The result could be a residential development without a safe access road available to get to the property, said Bruce Reuss, a member of the planning commission. "It's an issue of public safety," he said.
Reuss said the planning commission is required to consider land inside the plat. Since the road leading to the proposed development is outside the plat, the commission couldn't use the road problem as a reason to vote against the plat.
He said he was going to "hold his nose and vote yes" on the plat, which was approved unanimously, without abstention.
Reuss said he believes the county's zoning ordinance should be changed to address issues like this in the future.
In other action the planning commission:
- Approved a final plat for JerMar Estates in New London Township, which includes five residential lots in an R-3 rural residential district.
- Approved minor changes in the subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinance, including
increasing the number of members on the variance board from the current three members to five members who would represent the different districts in the county.
- Re-elected Dennis Goehring as chairman and Ed Huseby and vice-chairman.
The Kandiyohi County Commissioners will take final action on all of the planning commission's recommendations at their meeting next Tuesday.

His imprisonment points to the essential conflict of Chinese journalism: communist leaders trying to navigate global free markets without surrendering to the free market of ideas. Bob talks to David Bandurski, a researcher at the University of Hong Kong's China Media Project. Transcript BOB GARFIEND: The excesses of poorly-trained sensationalists may be a problem, but David Bandurski, a researcher at the University of Hong Kong's China Media Project, says it's a problem that pales next to the essential conflict of Chinese journalism, communist leaders trying to navigate global free markets without surrendering to the free market of ideas. He joins me now. David, welcome to OTM.DAVID BANDURSKI: Thank you for having me.BOB GARFIELD: On the other hand, it seems as if the Chinese central government, the party, has given the press a much longer leash in the past few years, lots of muckraking in local papers and so forth. But then periodically the same authorities yank the leash to the choking point.DAVID BANDURSKI: The point is that, yes, the media are on a leash, and sometimes the media can actually be used as kind of attack dog. There's a term in Chinese, "supervision by public opinion." In some cases, this can actually be newspaper reporters going and reporting corruption at a local level. So it can function as kind of an arm, in that case of the state, where the higher level officials want to monitor what's going on in the provinces. Under this banner of so-called "supervision by public opinion," you also get journalism that resembles very closely what we call watchdog journalism in the West, and a lot of reporters doing this envision themselves as independent reporters and they really care about truth and about civic responsibility. So I think it's interesting to look at this watchdog journalism because you see under it both the best and the worst of Chinese journalism.BOB GARFIELD: Well, in fact, we just spoke to the dean of Beijing's Tsinghua University about the very subject of watchdog journalism. But he also said that the press as a whole is losing credibility with Chinese citizens, he says, because it's so sensational and irresponsible and fixated on splashy headlines. Is he just an apologist, or is he right?DAVID BANDURSKI: We are seeing commercialized media, but the real problem is that this commercialization has been encouraged by the party because they want to develop the media as an industry, and we now call it an industry, and that's changed even in the last seven or eight years. But it's still state-controlled. There are no independent media in China, and that, I think, is precisely the problem. We have this tension between the state function of the media, the mouthpiece. It also has a market function in China in that it's making money, competing for advertising. But it doesn't have yet a social function, and that's kind of where the battleground is. One of the examples that is probably something that Li Xiguang is talking about is this phenomenon called news extortion. And what this means is you sometimes get a newspaper reporter who will go and do an expose on, let's say, a meat-packing factory, and he'll write up his expose, he'll give it to his editor and the editor will pass it to the head of this company and then give him a phone call and say, "what are we going to do about this?" And if the head of this meat-packing company cares about his business, generally he'll say, "okay, we'll take out an ad contract."BOB GARFIELD: Well, that extortion thing is an alarming anecdote. On any level, are things out of control?DAVID BANDURSKI: If you do a search on "news extortion," you will come up on any given day, practically, you'll come up with material. Sometimes they're lone reporters or pretending to be reporters and go out and try to extort money from companies. There are examples like that. But I'll give you another example, and that's the Hunan AIDS crisis, when the world discovered that there was this AIDS epidemic in rural China, and a lot of foreign newspapers actually got credit for breaking the story. But it began when one young reporter was riding a train – Don Gi Chung [sp?] is his name – in the countryside in Hunan, and he met some farmers who were heading to Beijing to be diagnosed with this mystery disease that they had, and he published an expose about this. That piece was not published in Hunan because the local government was opposed to this story getting out, because the reason for this epidemic was the donation of blood and the re-transfusion of blood. So this report was actually published in a province in Western China by one of these new commercial newspapers. Obviously, this newspaper had a commercial interest in running a piece like this. This is a great story about an inept government, about a health issue that's really relevant to everyone in China, so there was commercial interest on the newspaper's part printing the story. But there's a real interest on the part of the individual reporter in just getting the story, because he feels that this is his responsibility as a reporter.BOB GARFIELD: So we always seem to come back to the paradox of contemporary China – an authoritarian regime trading in the free market, embracing some western principles and trampling on others. But how do you sustain a partial tyranny? At some point, isn't this mutt bound to break free of the leash altogether?DAVID BANDURSKI: That's the million-dollar question. There are a number of scenarios. The one I would hope for would be the development of a number of independent media in China, you know, under the Chinese constitution, which formally grants freedom of speech, but it's completely nominal. It obviously has no effect, because China is still autocratic. But that's what I would hope for. What I fear is the determination of the Party to maintain state control, even as they encourage commercialization. They want to open up the media and give it this tabloid look, that it's attractive to the people, but it's just kind of an extreme makeover. You know, behind it you still have a state-controlled media. So that's kind of the worst-case scenario.BOB GARFIELD: All right. Well, David, thank you very much.DAVID BANDURSKI: Certainly.BOB GARFIELD: David Bandurski is a researcher associate at the China Media Project. He spoke to us from Hong Kong. [MUSIC UP AND UNDER] Coming up, how the dolphin ate the whale and how that relates to a newspaper buy-out. This is On the Media from NPR.

Cascade Middle School students working to make their environment drug-free
The passage of legalized recreational marijuana use for those 21-and-over in Washington State has put those working against youth drug and alcohol abuse on edge as they watch how statistics and real-life situations bore out the impact of I-502.
As Cascade Middle School Vice Principal Jacob Ellis put it, "As all of you know Washington State passed a marijuana law and no surprise to anyone, we saw an increase in marijuana use in kids that had never tried it before."
Ellis made his comments at the onset of a meeting at Cascade, in White Center, that brought kids and adults together to talk about strategies to keep minors away from drugs and alcohol.
On one side of the room was the Coalition for Drug-Free Youth, a federally and county-funded group of adults working on a volunteer basis to set policy and goals in reducing use and abuse in the Highline School District, covering White Center and Burien.
On the other side, 7th and 8th students who have joined Cascade's new-this-year Prevention Team, an "above the influence" group of kids who are helping fellow students and each other stay away from drugs. The Prevention Team has around 22 members with an additional 20-plus filling out the proper paperwork to join in the near future, according to Student Assistance Counselor Karen Sissom, who heads the team.
What followed was the sharing of a voice the Coalition's Director Rudy Garza said was sorely missing since its 2012 inception – that of the kids the coalition is trying to help. This initial meeting was one of many the Coalition will have with the Prevention Team to work cross-generationally to make a difference.
Concerns at Lakewood Park/Hicklin Lake
For their first presentation, the Cascade Prevention Team talked about how the daily routine for many students is a walk through neighboring Lakewood Park (where Hicklin Lake resides) before and after school.
While the students said they enjoy the walk for the wildlife, trees and positive elements a park provides, they were less thrilled by daily encounters with litter that usually includes cigarette butts and empty alcohol containers. They said they also encounter the distinct smell and sight of people smoking marijuana in the park. The culprits, they said, range from peers at school to adults using Lakewood for a round of Frisbee golf.
"People are trying to be cool, so their friends can see them (smoking or drinking)," one student said.
"(The litter) makes me feel like people don't care about the park," another said.
The Prevention Team already has plans in place to combat these trends, including creating anti-drug and alcohol posters to put up at Cascade (and the park if King County is OK with it), working with adults in the community to pick up trash on a volunteer basis, and looking at the possibility of bringing more trash cans into the park with the help of the county.
Staying above the influence
So how do these kids – these kids who have made a commitment to stay drug and alcohol free during their middle school careers – break through the peer pressure?
Many different ways, they said. For most of the 13 kids who spoke at the meeting, their extracurricular activities were a big part. From gymnastics and soccer to boxing and mixed martial arts, the kids said they had found sports they love and look forward to practicing as much as possible. Others took part in Cascade after-school activities. The students have also brainstormed different tactics on how to remove themselves from situations where a fifth of liquor gets opened up, a pack of cigarettes unraveled or a bag of marijuana is produced.
One 7th grader (we didn't have permission to use student names or take photos during the meeting) said staying away from drugs and alcohol takes more than just what they as individuals can do, however. For her, one of the biggest factors is parents, teachers, older siblings and adults in the community "supporting youth in their interests and dreams."
As the meeting wrapped up it was clear the adults in the room – many of them professionals working in the non-profit world to help others in need or those with drug and alcohol dependency – were energized by this small but fully-engaged group of students who have joined their mission.
"Their participation is really important to the coalition," Garza said.

Love this product. I have wavy hair, which can be sort of hard to manage in the summer months without getting too much frizz. After I step out of the shower I just squeeze a dime size amount of this in my hands and run in through my hair and let it air dry. It keeps everything in place without being crunchy, stiff or sticky. Plus, the stuff smells really great. Made in the USA and 100% Vegan.
