Ian Levy of Hickory-High.com has developed an intuitive new statistic for the use of all, and today I will be using it to view a better and clearer picture of the New York Knicks' shot selection, player by player. This statistic formulated by Levy is called Expected Points Per Shot, or XPPS. This is based on the league average points per shot from a specific area on the court, and when used alongside an individual's Actual Points Per Shot, it can determine who is taking shots from the most effective areas, who isn't and how efficient they are, or should be. Using this, we can see how statistics match-up to popular theories such as how good of a bad-shot taker J.R. Smith really is, or if Raymond Felton is settling too much from the perimeter. Let's do it.
Now to best understand the following measures, it's best to read the longer, more accurate description from the man himself, Ian Levy:
"I used statistics from NBA.com and looked at every shot, made and missed, going back to the 2000-2001 season. The NBA groups those shots into five locations – Restricted Area, In The Paint (Non-RA), Mid-Range, Corner 3, Above The Break 3. By calculating the total number of points scored on shots from each location and dividing it by the number of attempts we arrive at an expected value for shots from each location. Here are those averages:
Restricted Area – 1.183
In The Paint (Non-RA) – 0.793
Mid-Range – 0.788
Corner 3 – 1.157
Above The Break 3 – 1.048
With those expected values we can calculate a player's Expected Points Per Shot. We multiple their total attempts from each area by the expected value of shots from that area. We add that total to the totals from all other areas. We then divide that total by all of a player's shot attempts, including the calculated trips to the free throw line. The result is Expected Points Per Shot.
It's important to remember that this is a measure of the quality of a player's shot selection. Players who take a lot of easy shots like layups or corner three-pointers will have a higher value. However, players under and over-perform league averages all the time. For that reason I compare Expected Points Per Shot to Actual Points Per Shot. Calculating the difference between the two lets us see who's shooting accuracy is better or worse than we would expect."

Now to business. Here are the New York Knicks' XPPS, listed from best to worst:
Tyson Chandler: 1.231
Amar'e Stoudemire: 1.109
Ronnie Brewer: 1.086
Chris Copeland: 1.078
Marcus Camby: 1.070
Jason Kidd: 1.062
Carmelo Anthony: 1.060
Pablo Prigioni: 1.054
Steve Novak: 1.050
James White: 1.032
Rasheed Wallace: 1.031
Raymond Felton: 1.010
J.R. Smith: 0.989
Kurt Thomas: 0.934
Now here are the Knicks' APPS – XPPS, listed from best to worst:
Steve Novak: .181
Tyson Chandler: .157
Jason Kidd: .135
Kurt Thomas: .128
Carmelo Anthony: .101
Chris Copeland: .082
James White: .064
Pablo Prigioni: .028
J.R. Smith: .005
Rasheed Wallace: -.057
Amar'e Stoudemire: -.075
Raymond Felton: -.090
Ronnie Brewer: -.194
Marcus Camby: -.303
Now, what have we learned?
- Ronnie Brewer's offensive limitations are even worse than what we see from the eye-candy and shooting percentages, as his two primary shot locations, the corner three and restricted area own the highest points per shot according to the league average. Now, Brewer is much more than an average random cutter, but that corner three spot is a favorite for, well the entire NBA. To be fair to Brewer, his shooting percentage of 33.8% from the corners this season isn't awful, but him having the second worst difference of XPPS to APPS truly magnifies his lack of offensive usefulness, but luckily Iman Shumpert is set to return to the rotation.
- Chris Copeland is awesome. Alright so we already knew that, but having a positive difference with the fourth-highest XPPS on your squad is nothing to scoff at. Oh yeah, and he was signed due to his Vegas Summer League and Training Camp play. His skills have rounded into shape with Copeland being a 28-year old rookie, and they are meh at best, but his I.Q. when it comes to picking the right spots is clearly on display here.
- J.R. Smith is not a great bad-shot taker, but simply just a bad-shot taker. Smith has the second worst XPPS on the entire team behind Kurt Thomas, and his APPS is just higher by .005, a noticeably minuscule amount. Had it been a decent amount higher, then the argument could be made. Plus, do note that all of this is based on shot location, shot difficulty is not factored in. (But how cool would it be if it could be?) If you've watched J.R. Smith on offense, you'll know the majority of his attempts are either contested, fadeaways, off-balanced, or a disturbing combination of the three. It would be frustratingly difficult for anybody to change Smith's ways on offense, and Knicks fans are growing accustomed to letting J.R. be J.R., but there is a solution here. Per Synergy Sports the majority of Smith's shot attempts come when he is isolating, while his shooting percentages and overall play as a pick-and-roll ball handler and spot-up shooter are much more favorable for New York.
- Amar'e Stoudemire has been taking the right shots. This is good, because there has not been much to applaud over with Stoudemire's return. 'Mare has the second-highest XPPS on the team, but his declining body and rusty fundamentals become blatantly obvious when looking at his APPS/XPPS difference, where he ranks fourth-worst on the Knicks. But his game, at least some of it, will return in time, and so long as he continues to take the same shots, Amar'e's offense could take a strong turn for the best.
- Tyson Chandler is, well, you know. He deserves his own piece, not just for being the best defender in the league, but also for being the model of efficiency on offense. Chandler manages to hold the highest XPPS on the team and the second-highest APPS/XPPS difference. That's nuts.
- Raymond Felton is in the same league as J.R. Smith here, only worse. Felton not only has the third-worst XPPS on the team, but he also has a negative APPS/XPPS difference, one of five Knicks in the same category. This is unsettling, considering Felton is shooting worse than his expected points per shot which was already alarmingly low, and also he's the Knicks starting point guard. Yikes. This is likely due to Felton's jumper-happy mentality he grew into in his last few games before he went out with a finger injury. Early in the season, Ray would attack the basket with ferocity and confidence, but eventually this turned into pull-up jumpers from mid-range and unwarranted threes off pick-and-rolls where defenders would go under the screen on Felton. This badly needs to change in order for the Knicks to be successful come Playoffs time.
Thanks to Ian Levy for creating this awesome statistic and for letting anyone go ahead and use it.

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
Tendai Marima, Azad Essa | 29 Jul 2013 17:49 GMT | Politics, Zimbabwe
Harare, Zimbabwe - In spite of the difficulties created by economic mismanagement, sanctions, and political isolation experienced by the majority of Zimbabweans over the past decade, there remains tangible support here for Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party.
As is the case of all revolutionary and liberation movements across the continent, supporters cite "freedom", "independence" and ZANU-PF's steadfast "opposition to imperial forces" as reasons for their loyalty. There remains a striking narrative of Mugabe standing up to western hypocrisy, with the opposition leadership painted as puppets of the west. Political rallies are, by their nature, ambitious creatures - supporters bused in, often fed, given clothes and sometimes money - designed to boost the ego of party leadership and feed the ravenous hunger of foreign media. On Sunday, thousands of ZANU-PF supporters, dressed in yellow and white party paraphernalia, emboldened with the triple party campaign slogan of "indigenise, empower, develop and create employment" came to endorse what many describe as Mugabe's final electoral rally. The 89-year-old is running for his eighth term in office since Zimbabwe's independence in 1980. As evidence of the past few months suggest, this will be a close contest between ZANU-PF and the MDC led by Morgan Tsvangirai - and despite the talk of change, there will be many, many Zimbabweans casting their ballot in favour of Mugabe. Al Jazeera spoke with ZANU-PF supporters about their unrelenting romance with Robert Mugabe.
"We have supported our president since the war of liberation because he led us to victory.
"To us he is a God-given leader; he is a gift to Zimbabwe and all of Africa because there is no one like him. He is an incomparable figure and everything he does is through God.
"If we perish because things are difficult then we will all perish together, we are one family. If we cannot eat and we have to eat sand because of sanctions, then that is what we will do.
"Against the West, Mugabe is like David versus Goliath, we believe he has the wisdom of David, so God will guide him through the battle. As for the future, God will choose someone from the young ones here today, but they must learn from Mugabe so they can lead us tomorrow."
"ZANU-PF have done a lot for us, they built schools and gave us houses to live.
"In the rural areas, they gave us land to farm, unlike in the time of the white man, when we had nothing."
"ZANU-PF reflects the will of the people; we have our freedom because of President Mugabe.
"British life was tough, it was an oppressive system and Black people were not free - not free at all. They wouldn't allow us to walk in the town centre, we weren't allowed to drink alcohol, and instead we drank the traditional brew, masese.
"They put us on reserves and gave us rocky land to farm, so we had fight and take our land back. Now we are free, we are not orphans in this land.
"We hope to win on Wednesday, MDC is playing, and they will not defeat us."
"ZANU-PF has looked after us; our orphans are able to go school and we, the elderly, can go to the hospital and get treated for free because we are pensioners.
"We do not worry about the future, because in ZANU-PF we are in the house of our father and mother."
"I support ZANU-PF because I was raised in a house that supports ZANU-PF.
"In 2000, my mother was given a farm in Darwendale and she grows maize whenever she can get fertiliser. Without the Mugabe government she wouldn't have that land.
"Because of that, I am going to raise my children to support ZANU-PF."
"I was raised in family that supports ZANU-PF and they developed my home area.
"Before the liberation war, there were no schools and no hospitals in Macheke, but when we got independence, schools and clinics were built by the government.
"Now, the government gives support to the needy and donors give aid by sending orphaned children to school, while ZANU-PF gives food aid to children in need.
"My parents were given land in Macheke by the government in 2000. They grow maize and tobacco on their farm and they are able to earn a living. ZANU-PF made this possible, so I will always support them."
"[MDC chief Morgan] Tsvangirai is lying about the cause of Zimbabwe's crisis in the 2000s. He was seeking power and, with the backing of outside forces, he tried to destabilise things in the country.
"He caused people to rebel and, with the help of his friends, he created the crisis - because Tsvangirai wanted power.
"They tried to influence things politically, but they failed, Mugabe is still our leader. Tsvangirai claims there is rigging of the vote, but there is no rigging.
"The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has the answers to all the questions he asks. Since independence, the ZEC have run so many elections and they have ensured there has been no cheating in the past, so the MDC's claims of rigging are not true.
"Tsvangirai is afraid of defeat, but he is a man in the fighting box so he must fight, not look for reasons to explain why he was defeated."
"MDC has no chance of winning, they will not rule.
"The people don't want Tsvangirai as president because he is a vulgar man and he supports homosexuality. He wants to create a country where a woman can sleep with another woman - but as Zimbabweans, we will never allow that. "Also, Tsvangirai has other forces behind him, he is an agent of the whites, but we removed them with our fists during the liberation struggle and we can do it again.
"Now Zimbabwe is a free country and we want a leader capable of leading us on their own, a black man who is not an agent of others.
"My relatives and I were given land in Epworth by the government in 2002 and we divided the land into sections where we grow maize, tobacco and soya beans.
"We hope ZANU-PF will win by a big margin and defeat MDC-T for good on Wednesday."
"We came to hear our president speak.
"People were not forced to come, and the crowd is mostly from Harare - they weren't bused in from somewhere else. We came here at 4am using our own financial resources, using public transport.
"Others were already here when we came and we waited together until they opened the gates at 6:30am.
"Some people came through free buses, but many of us here found our own transport, nobody forced us. We came because we wanted to hear our leader speak.
"We are strengthened and uplifted by his words, and on Wednesday we will vote for our party."

Great book, what an insight into a world of a child who took so much from so called parents and siblings.
His children should be so proud of him.
Proof to all, that no matter how you are brought up there is always a way out and people there who can love and help you.
Its just horrible to think that someone can treat a human in this way, and it has even made me look at my little one and hug him tight knowing that he is loved, but somewhere out there, there is another little child who may be going through this. even though it's the year 2010. Its a very scary thought.
well done peter roche for sharing this and pulling your life around.

Book Title: Renewing the American Dream: A Citizen's Guide For Restoring Our Competitive Analysis by Frank Islam, George Munos, and Ed Crego (0615349773)
Publication Year: 2010
Number of Pages: (360 pages); About 3-4 hour read
Review Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Recommended: Yes
As a person who strongly believes in social justice and activism, I have read quite a lot of on the problem of the "United States decline" and ways that we can fix it from almost every different type of angle you can read. "Renewing the American Dream" was one of the first books that actually provided a rather detailed and business-oriented approach that would actually work. Like many other authors and activists, the three authors of this book agree that America is in a new era where we have declined in several areas including:
- Job creation
- Education
- Political participation
- Political consensus
- Business creation
- Social mobility
- And overall global impact….
The authors basically say that all of this inevitably leads to a loss of hope, which ultimately leads to the loss of belief in the "American Dream". The authors argue that this belief is what led to America's rise in the first place. Their viewpoint is that in order for America to remain competitive, any plan must include the "American Dream" in it. The authors break down and then offer recommendations for how this can be accomplished. Since this is a business book, business activities such as job creation, manufacturing, entrepreneurships, but it also covers other areas such as civic and social partnership, political participation and focus.
My Opinion: This book is actually quite a good read. It can get a little technical in some parts of the book (especially when it comes to some of the economics), but it really provides some "food for thought". The book's focus is slightly oriented toward the policies of the New Deal, so if you are not a fan of those type of policies (such as some government-supported jobs and policies), you might not agree with this book; otherwise the book maintains a neutral stance in most of the recommendations they are providing. Some of these recommendations seem to be so clearly easy to implement, it's hard to see why they weren't implemented a long time ago. There are also some fanciful ones that seem realistic, but have more hope built into them than actual detail. In either case, I was impressed with the time and energy that these authors put into creating such a work. If you have hope in America, this book is definitely one you want to take a look at. I'm only surprised that it didn't get the attention that this book truly deserved.

Dassana's Veg Recipes Of India is one of my favorite Indian food blogs and her recipes never fail! Dassana makes authentic Indian food very accessible. True to her blog title, her collection is full of authentic regional/state specific cuisine, tips and tricks that have been passed on from generations, some recipes you will never find anywhere else on the web and definitely in no Indian restaurants. And the beautiful photography is mesmerizing.
Her blog has a lot of vegan options, moving towards more and more so.. and almost all vegetarian recipes can be easily made vegan. I also know Dassana from our online chats and she is a wonderful and sweet person. Thank you for the opportunity to Guest post Dassana.
When Dassana asked me to do a guest post(which was some time back and I got sucked into the holiday season back then), I knew I had to make an Indian dessert/Mithai.
Most of the dairy intense Indian sweets are difficult to veganize to an exact taste and I keep working on them with every festival. The idea for this Kesar Burfi came along round Lohri. I finally made a version that I liked and my husband loved and here we are with a Almond Semolina Fudge with Saffron.
The soaked almonds give it the Khoya effect and the semolina keeps the burfi a fudgy crunch. You can adjust the quantity of sugar syrup, a few teaspoons less syrup for a dryer harder burfi and more syrup for a softer melt in your mouth version.
I dont whip up much authentic Indian food as I would like. I picked up a few recipes while cooking with my mom during undergrad summers, and i always wanted to try new versions or fusions back then too. Then I left to come to Urbana-Champaign for grad school. Most other methods, I have learnt over time by trial and error and working with the tastes and textures that i remember or like. I think that is one of the reasons that helps me think out of the box and vegan-ize some of the indian sweets. Rasmalai(cheese balls in sweet saffron milk) and Rasgulla still evade me, but I am working on it and have a close alternative. Remind me to make some Mysore Pak(roasted chickpea flour fudge) and post that soon. All Vegan and you wont know it:).
Some of the barfi/ladoos already on the blog are almost as I remember while some are altered results that we love. This burfi might not taste like the khoya version but it is delicious and a current favorite.
As Vegans, me and my husband eat a plant-based diet, that excludes all animal and animal derived products such as dairy(including milk and all milk derived products, Ghee, Butter, Cheese, milk powder etc), eggs, honey and meat(chicken, beef, lamb, fish etc). All of these products lead to immense pain, suffering, torture and eventual death of a living being. The number for The Indian dairy industry is 8 million unwanted male calves killed every year. That is 1 every 11 seconds. These are extra calves left after all the other millions of calves which go back into the dairy or leather or bull industry.
Some frequently asked questions about the diet and stats specific to India, are answered in this well written post by Harini.
There are several alternatives available here in the US to replace milk, meat, cheese, cakes, desserts and the lot. But not many options for Mithai/Indian Sweets. So here is another attempt at a delicious and cruelty free alternative.
For more Vegan-ized Indian sweets, Gulab Jamuns, Ladoos and more see here.
Dassana has a bunch of Vegan dessert recipes too.
Step by Step Pictures and the Recipe at Veg Recipes of India here. Or below.
In a pan, mix all the ingredients of the sugar syrup and bring to a boil on low-medium heat. Continue boiling till 1 string consistency is achieved. Few minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pan, dry roast the semolina on low-medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until it starts changing color and is fragrant.
If your semolina grain is large, then pulse it a few times in a blender/processor before roasting.
Add ground almonds and oil to the roasting semolina.
Mix well to form crumbs. (half a minute)
Add the boiling sugar syrup and mix well.
Take off heat after a few seconds and pour on greased or parchment lined pan.
Use a knife or Pizza cutter to cut into squares. Let cool completely before breaking apart.
Kesar Burfi/Barfi – Almond Semolina Saffron Fudge.
Allergy Information: Dairy, Egg, Corn, Soy, Yeast free.
To make the fudge Gluten-free, use coarsely ground Oats or brown rice instead of Semolina.
1/2 cup Semolina flour or fine Semolina(fine Sooji, fine cream of wheat)
3/4 cup raw almonds soaked overnight
a pinch of sea salt or regular salt
2 Tablespoons Oil(I usually use 1 Tablespoon Coconut oil and 1 Tablespoon Earth balance butter or organic canola oil)
Sugar syrup:
1/2 cup ground raw sugar(or coconut sugar or other sugar of choice. Use 2 Tablespoons more for sweeter)
1/4 cup water
a pinch of cardamom powder
1/2-1 teaspoon Saffron strands(to taste)
a pinch of salt
Soak the almonds overnight. Peel and pulse into coarse crumbs. Add a pinch of sea salt and keep ready.
To peel almonds easily. Drain and soak them in boiling water for 2 minutes. The Skin will loosen up. Press the almonds and they will pop out.
In a pan, mix all the ingredients of the sugar syrup and bring to a boil on low-medium heat. Continue boiling till 1 string consistency is achieved. Few minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pan, dry roast the semolina on low-medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until it starts changing color and is fragrant.
If your semolina grain is large, then pulse it a few times in a blender/processor before roasting.
Add ground almonds, oil and mix well to form crumbs. (Mix continuously by pressing and breaking crumbs to evenly distribute the oil. half a minute)
Add the boiling sugar syrup and mix well.
Take off heat after a few seconds and pour on greased/oiled or parchment lined pan.
Even it out, use knife to cut into square or diamond shape, and let cool for 15 minutes before breaking into pieces.
Notes: Use 3/4 of the syrup, mix well and add more if needed. Semolina from different wheat grains absorbs moisture differently. Once mixed, check if the mixture is already a lump and can be set into burfi. If too dry and crumbly, then add more syrup.

Republican lawmakers are so intent on controlling women's reproduction that they are going so far as to propose legislation that would prohibit abortions even in the case when a woman knows she is carrying a stillborn.
Introduced by Georgia State Rep. Terry England (R) HB 954 makes it illegal to obtain an abortion after 20 weeks even if the woman is carrying a stillborn fetus or the baby is otherwise not expected to live to term. England made clear just what he thinks of women during a floor speech in support of his measure.
"Life gives us many experiences…I've had the experience of delivering calves, dead and alive. Delivering pigs, dead or alive. It breaks our hearts to see those animals not make it."
Lovely. Rep. England just compared pregnant women to livestock.
Since Republicans have even pushed abortion bills though agriculture committees, I suppose this is a consistent position for the right. Women should, by these measures, have about the same rights as common farm animals.
Of course, carrying a stillborn fetus to term can bring significant risk to a pregnant woman including infections leading to death. And recommending continuing a non-viable pregnancy is a violation of the standard of care, meaning the Georgia Representative would like to legislate medical malpractice standards despite the fact that England is not a doctor.
Heck, England isn't even a veterinarian, but for some reason he thinks he's qualified to legislate medical care. And that right there sums up the level of concern for women's lives these anti-choice lawmakers possess.

Sounds like he has about the intelligence of a cow. Hmmm When you stop to think about it maybe the cow is smarter. Tells you a lot about what he thinks of half the population! Makes you wonder if and where he went to school .
Before Roe vs Wade the fetus I was carrying died in my fourth month. The law, however, said I was still pregnant andforbid my doctor from removing it from my body. The danger to my physical health from infection was immense. Who are these men who tie the hands of doctors, and when are the women (and men who love us) going to get mad and vote them OUT?
We are not cows and pigs..and even at that ....cows and pigs should not even have to carry dead babies in their wombs....my...I did not know about this.
Georgia lawmaker needs to have a fetus implanted in his belly and see how it feels to carry a still born child. ick. This man and these fanatics are absolutely wrong. If a child dies in the womb the child needs to be taken and given his / her God given right to a funeral and burial..staying in the womb is not an option...who are these sick people....THESE FANATICS KEEP COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK...ICK ICK ICK,........
why do people vote for these idiots, its incredible that these lawmakers are worried about unborn but do not care about those children who are living in poverty; help them and stay out of my body. also why force a someone to carry a dead fetus, what about her mental health, these people are backwards. maybe these guys should learn to put a condom on their penis and maybe on their mouths so we dont have to listen to their stupidity

Kerry Krompel
My name is Kerry Krompel. I was born in Carbon County and I've lived here for 50 years. We have a great community. What makes our community great is the people here care about each other. People here go out of their way to help each other.
My profession is an excavating contractor. I have over 25 years of experience installing and repairing water and sewer systems.I am running for a position on the PRWID board because I feel PRWID and the citizens of Carbon County need a better working relationship.
Government agencies should work together with people and help with their needs every way possible to expand and make a stronger community.
My experience and knowledge as a contractor can be beneficial in constructing, repairing and upgrading existing water and sewer systems in our county.
Citizens of Carbon County have concerns and problems about some of the construction projects done in the area. The main concern being compaction problems. I feel it is the responsibility of PRWID to make sure the contractors do the jobs correctly and efficiently. We need quality control. We all know that to have quality drinking water and safe, efficient sewer systems we have rules and regulations to comply with. I think PRWID should be involved not only in the quality of our water in the community but should look at more efficient ways to save time and money for the taxpayers. If we all work together this community will always be a great place to live.
I ask for your vote on November 8.
Keith Cox
I would first like to thank the people of Carbon County for their trust and the opportunity to serve as a board member at Price River Water Improvement District. In serving, I have become aware of the many challenges that face our area relating to water and sewer. A few examples are: new development, shortage of water due to drought, insuring that the present infrastructure is able to serve the existing population, developing infrastructure for future growth, upgrading existing distribution lines to meet current standards, maintaining existing lines, funding for water quality and sewer treatment, compliance with state regulations for water quality, and water conservation.
It takes the combined effort of PRWID board members, staff, employees, and concerned citizens to insure that water and sewer needs are met throughout the local area. My goals are to continue monitoring water quality and sewer distribution for all county residents, maintaining and lifting our standard of living throughout Carbon County, and meeting the needs for growth and vitality. All of these can be accomplished with a wise, sound budget, with small impact to community and individual resources.My goal is to provide water and sewer, vital and essential needs of everyday living, to the individuals of Carbon County. I appreciate the continued opportunity to serve, making Carbon County a great place to live.
Please vote on Nov. 8.
Robert Martin
I have been a resident of Carbon County for 15 years. My family has been here for over 25 years. We live in the Carbonville area.
The last few years I have been hearing from many of our friends and neighbors wondering why the Price River Water Improvement District is moving in the direction it has and how do we get a voice in many of the decisions PRWID makes.
For example, why the rates have become so high in the rural areas and why the roads have not been repaved in over a year in some of the areas that had been torn up for PRWID's sewer projects. I and others also ask why PRWID needs to raise the taxing structure and if we are getting the best contractors for the monies expended, etc.These are some of the reasons I have decided to become involved in this process. I would like to be able to answer some of these questions and help solve them as a board member.
I also want to know that as a community of the world our natural resources will be managed in our desert climate and what plans PRWID has for conservation.
My background has been in the coal mining industry. I was the Training and Safety Program Specialist for Arco in Wyoming for 10 years. In this project I wrote and produced individual programs for each piece of equipment and trained personnel. I had to work under a large but, strict budget and time limits. This background, gives me an advantage in overseeing budgets, time constraints, personnel safety, and construction in general. My college studies were in business administration. I have also attended many schools in affiliation with mining, construction, and federal regulations.
Rex Sacco
My name is Rex Sacco. I am 52-years old, a life-long resident of Carbon County, and graduated from Carbon High School in 1971. I attained a degree from CEU in mining mechanics. In 1974 I graduated from the Police Officer's Academy at Westminster College. I've taken continuing education courses in many areas of law and technical training over the years, including criminal, property and access, railroad, interstate commerce and exchange and boundary law. I served six years in the Utah National Guard mustering out at the rank of Staff Sergeant. I've worked at some of the area power plants and as a coal miner.
I presently work as the Lands and Access Coordinator for Carbon County. My duties include administering the county roads system, planning review and making recommendations and comments for the county commission on the present and future uses of public lands and natural resources as well as access and any federal and state actions affecting our area.
I was asked to run for a position on the PRWID Board by acquaintances who thought that with my background and experience, I might have something to contribute. As water is the life blood of our county and the major factor in determining if we can continue to grow, offering our children, grandchildren or others jobs and a place to live in Carbon County, I have decided to offer my time and services in this endeavor.
I ask for county citizens in the district to vote for me knowing that I will faithfully follow the wishes and needs of the people who elect me.
Darlene Kuhns
I am Darlene Kuhns. I am running for a second term with the East Carbon City Council. I have been in East Carbon most of my life and also raised my two sons here.
I own and operate my business and have done so since 1975.
I have enjoyed being on the city council, helping the people,and doing the best I can for the whole community.
In the last four years we have put in much needed new storage tanks for the treated water. We have also put in our own justice court so the money collected would stay in East Carbon. That is a plus. We also have the money in place to fix the sewer lagoons.
With grant money we received our 2004 state-of-the-art fire truck and turnouts for all our firefighters.We were given $5000.00 dollars worth of equipment from the Provo Fire Academy for our respirators.
In 2005 we were granted $10,000.00 dollars from the Wild Land Fires Fund to purchase more needed equipment.This was all free money. Today our fire department is shy four men but the remaining eight are very well trained and eager to serve the people.I am very proud to be the council person over the fire department.
In the next four years I hope to find funding to rebuild the building that will be the new East Carbon Fire Department;a place for training, a home for our trucks and a place the firefighers can call their own.
I have worked on many things the last four years with the council and mayor.
Those items include the clean up or fix it program, and the decorating we did for Christmas. With help from all the business we, for the first time, had a bright shinning city for Christmas.
I believe our city has some large issues in the coming years but that we can and we will overcome these and our city will remain.
I look forward to working with you and for you in the next four years.
Verl (Delale) Holt
I was raised on Berkely Avenue, my dad was a coal miner, my mom was a long time cook for the senior citizens center. I left East Carbon after graduation from Carbon High School in 1958 due to the lack of employment in our area at that time After four years in the Air Force I returned to Utah where I worked as a licensed plumber and the state of Utah constructions inspector. After retirement my wife and I moved back home to East Carbon. Our son and daughter and their families have also relocated to make their home in East Carbon,
I am running for city councilman because I want to be part of an open and responsive city government that will encourage all citizens to become involved. Together I feel we as a community can make a difference in our city. I value the diversity of the citizens of the community of East Carbon. I want to hear, understand and learn from all community members. I may be different from my neighbor but I value my neighbor's ideas.
East Carbon is a place physically and culturally rich. I would like to see East Carbon grow and become a place our children will be proud to call their home. With your vote and support, I look forward to working for and with each citizen.
Lloyd Erwin Lowe Sr.
Lloyd Erwin Lowe Sr. is asking to become a member of the East Carbon City Council in order to allow more businesses to work for the improvement of the local communities.
As we invite businesses (and they accept) to produce with us, our strength in all areas (pride, ownership and economic) will grow also.
Take a step forward and create a new market for our city. Vote for him on Nov.8
Doug Parsons
At the present time Doug is on active guard duty in Iraq for one year.
However, he is still seeking a four year seat and will be back to fulfill the latter portion of his term when he returns from his tour of duty.
Joe L Piccolo
I am a common blue-collar family man, the first generation of an Italian emigrant pioneer. I was born and raised in South Price, educated in Carbon county schools, to include College of Eastern Utah.
I earn my living with my hands and have been self-employed for over 36 years in the business environment. I married my high school sweetheart and best friend, formerly Barbara Ann Bishop. Barbara is a full partner in all we do.
We are the proud parents of three children, Kim, Ryan and Elizabeth. Kim and Jesse have blessed us with twin grandsons, Kyle and Hayden who are growing up in the same great Carbon County environment that I did.
I served as a city council member for six years and as your mayor for four years. I am currently serving on the Permanent Community Impact Board, the Utah State Division of Water Quality Board, and the Olene Walker Housing Trust Fund Board, the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments Board, the Utah League of Cities and Towns Executive Board, the Carbon County Economic Development Executive Board, as well as working on many other assignments.
I have a high value of integrity and I am a hard worker. When adjustment is necessary, I am not afraid to face change. I want to continue to make a difference in Price City, our home.
In my opinion the most significant issues our community will face in future years will be the cost of utilities and public safety in the face of growth. Our city is comprised largely of an aging population that will need solid low cost utilities to maintain lifestyles on limited incomes.
Public safety is important in order to retain the rural quality of life that we know, love and enjoy. The city is better today and for the last four years in many areas, to include the water lines, streets, parks, recreations, business development and other areas. I have initiated and assisted in accomplishing many projects in our community during the past four years and want to continue the progress for the next four years.
I want you to know that if it is important to you, it is important to me and always will be.
Betty Wheeler
I have been on the city council for 10-plus years. A native of Carbon County and a graduate of Carbon High School, C.E.U. and Utah State University with a degree in elementary education. I am a retired educator of 30 years with the Carbon School District. I am available to the public concerns at all times which is an issue of importance to me, as well as being receptive to the peoples needs.
I have been involved in many projects in the city including, but not limited to: a new pool boiler and Ozone system that will cut the cost of chemicals of 50 percent, landscaping on 1st North off ramp, Rose Park and Terrace Hills new playground equipment, ADA sidewalk repair project, completed installation of new water and sewer lines in the inner city area, Cove Basin Park, BMX track and skate park at Terrace Hills, water distribution line and assisted with General Plan and Land Use Code update process.
We need to do a better job of promoting our area not only for tourism growth, but also economic development. It is time for the city to call upon and listen to the expertise of our talented successful people and citizens in our area, and include them in planning our future for a quality of life. Energy resources benefit communities. Families end up with more disposable income. Businesses will improve and grow, being able to create more jobs. We can keep more money in the community and that can result in more dollars for infrastructure, education, and community needs.
We also, need the close monitoring of our expenditures and revenues. We need to concentrate on road repairs and projects below Main Street in the southern part of town. Maintaining plentiful and quality water and seek an alternative source of water for a secondary system. Continue to promote the Cross Country Trail Project, Museum and the Energy Training Center. We also need to revise the city government by letting the city council resume their elected positions again, to work with the mayor, city departments and their constituents. We need to regain the good rapport, moral and working relationships with our employees.
The public provides valuable information and may express concerns that may have significant impact on our city. Community spirit is working together toward a common goal and the focus is on positive results, and successful communities have learned to build on strengths and minimize weakness.
As your mayor, I will have a strong sense of purpose, integrity, a conviction to make a difference. I am a trustworthy team player who makes and keeps my commitments with a fond attachment for the people and city of Price. Join me in promoting a team effort. Teamwork makes a difference.
Mike Dalpiaz
I am Mike Dalpiaz Sr. I was born, raised and reside in Helper and wouldn't live any other place in the World. Helper is such a unique and scenic town. I've been all over the United States in my work and believe me, there just isn't another Helper. It's a place of strong pride and strong opinions. It's a place where all ethnic traditions blend and enhance each other.
I currently work in Price as the International Vice President of United Mine Workers of America. I've worked in several of our underground coal mines. I served on the Board of Trustees for the College of Eastern Utah for eight years. I have been with the UMWA starting in 1977 as an Auditor, then district vice president, president and now as international vice president. I have a long and strong history of service to the people of Carbon and Emery Counties. I currently serve on the Merit Board for the Carbon County Sheriff's Department and I am the corporate secretary and board member for Rocky Mountain Fuel Company.
I retired from being mayor four years ago and had no intention of ever running again. However, I have lately had some reservations about some of the tax increases, utility increases and spending priorities. I feel we have lost sight of our number one priority of economic development. If we don't develop job opportunities and business opportunities for our people, the town will ultimately die. The tax base is shrinking. We cannot allow that to continue. We don't want to be in the position of "pallbearers" for our city. We must be a part of the surgical team putting Helper together again.
We have a very impressive theater that is close to being completed but is being allowed to languish. We have an art community that needs support. We have a beautiful museum and parkway that needs expansion. These things have brought prosperity to other communities and we can do the same for Helper.
Quality of life is an important component of development. The recent pool initiative will attract families to Helper which in turn will help the enrollment in our schools. Our schools are an important part of attracting families to Helper. We need to ensure their success in educating our children. All I'm saying is we have to "Keep our eye on the ball." I know it's hard to deal with the future when everyday problems are affecting us, but we have to do just that if our beloved city is to have a future.
Being a mayor is about being a leader. Being a mayor is about having a vision. I believe I have a vision that most of you share and I ask your permission to serve you once again as your mayor.
Chuck Buchanan
Chuck Buchanan has been a resident of Helper for over 30 years. He met Helper native LynnDa Juliano in 1964 while working in Colorado. They were married two years later and returned to Helper in 1973 to raise two daughters.
For the next 15 years he demonstrated financial and managerial skills as project manager for Braztah, manager for George Harmond Businesses, and manager of the western district for Baker Mine Service. In 1988, Chuck and LynnDa started LeMar Industrial Mining and Fabrication, a thriving local business that currently maintains 15 employees.
He is presently serving his second term on Helper City Council and, as a member of the Board of Adjustments, and has positive ties with Carbon County leaders.
"As mayor, my goal for Helper City is fiscal responsibility."
Chuck believes Helper must be run as a fiscally responsible business that provides services to its citizens. Raised in rural North Carolina, Chuck understands tough times. "As mayor I know I will have to struggle to make ends meet, just as some residents struggle to make ends meet."
His goal is not only to stabilize the current budget, but also to implement long term planning." I want to provide the young people and children of Helper with the same opportunities that were available in the 70's and 80's."
"I believe that effective leadership means effective communication."
There is a common misconception that the mayor makes big decisions for the city. However, the mayor can only make decisions with the support of the council. Chuck views the role of mayor as a facilitator, cooperating with the city council and listening to citizens. "We have council people with the vision to move Helper forward and I would like to be a part of that."
Chuck encourages all residents to participate and attend council meetings. As mayor, he will reserve the first 15 minutes of council meetings where any citizen who wishes to voice an opinion can be heard. "We have an energetic and dynamic town. There are so many people that want to help and get involved. We need them." He also supports a local newsletter.
"We need to put Helper on the map." There is a lot that can be done to promote Helper by encouraging highway travelers to stop in town including beautification, cleanup, restoration of historic entry arches, better signage advertising facilities and parking, and promotion of small businesses. "We need to make passing through our town a positive and memorable experience."
"I am asking for the opportunity to serve. Let's secure Helper's future together." Chuck would be happy to answer any questions and can be contacted during the day at 472-3461.
Dale Andrews
I am incumbent Dale Andrews running for East Carbon Mayor for a second term. I was raised in Sunnyside and have lived in East Carbon for over 30 years. It is my home and will always be home. My main interest in city government is to do my best to keep our city a safe, affordable, friendly and hopefully, happy place for our citizens to reside.
I give to the community knowledge and experience. I served on the city council for two years, 1980-1982. Then I was elected mayor for the next four years. During this time the city saw many new improvements. The water treatment plant was built. Before this time, our drinking water was untreated. Then came the Whitmore Square Apartment Complex and the new post office. The city maintenance shop was built. The old city hall was renovated and our 1982 fire truck was purchased, all with grant money - "free money".
I left city government for the next few years. Because of my past experience as Mayor, in May of 2000 I was asked to fill the vacancy left by Mayor Paul Clark. In 2002 I ran and was elected mayor.
During my past six years as mayor, the city council and I have increased our water storage capacity by 500,000 gallons in the new tank and another 500,000 gallons in our refurbished underground tank. I acquired $180,000 at 2.5 percent interest and $265,000 in grant money to pay for these projects.
We have created the East Carbon Justice Court allowing us to keep fines within the city and hold court here rather than traveling to Price.
We have secured funding amounting to $500,000 at zero percent interest and $680,000 grant money to make the state mandated sewer lagoon improvements.
I was instrumental in the Hunt Oil/State land exchange that opens up the Cold Spring area to public use.
I am on the Carbon County OHV Committee to bring the OHV trail through Carbon County via Nine Mile, Cottonwood and Dry canyons, over Bruin Point and down Sunnyside Canyon and through Sunnyside and East Carbon City. Hopefully this will bring us new revenues.
Great improvements have been made to the archery and gun ranges and the Columbia Park.
The council has adopted an Abandonded/Hazardous Building Ordinance that enables the city to take the appropriate legal steps to rid the city of unsafe, abandoned buildings that are hazardous to our residents. All this takes time and due process of law.
As to future projects: my first priority is to get our city financially sound without causing a hardship on our citizens.
I have a good relationship with county and state officials who can help us with our needs. These relationships don't come over night. I would like to see the city through these hard times.
Orlando LaFontaine
While not a local native of East Carbon City, I have lived here for five years. I am a property owner and businessman. I currently am working on the renovation of the former Dragerton Department Store.
I was raised and educated in New York.
My aim is to bring businesses back into our community. I believe there is a future for the City of East Carbon and sometimes change is the answer.
I have specific goals, which include involving the residents, listening to the views and the opinion of others, cleaning up our city and being a full time mayor. I realize this requires commitment and I am willing to do my best to fulfill these obligations.
There are some critical problems ahead of us, particularly in the economic development areas. I would support the Range Creek water development project. This is essential for our future.
I will represent each and every resident in an honest and dependable manner. We need to make our city attractive and jobs available. It is my desire as mayor to see these concerns be a top priority of the administration.
I love East Carbon City and will do my best to represent it.
I need your support.

Video: Rally-spec Mini does a backflip
Well, it seems MINI wants a piece of the action, using France's very own stunt-performer in the form of rally driver Guerlain Chicherit.
High achiever in the gruelling 2010 Paris Dakar rally, Chicherit has teamed up with Gravi-t, The Freestyle Rally Team, MINI and John Cooper Works (JCW) for this daredevil adventure.
Effectively, Chicherit is attempting the first ever unassisted back flip in a car – using his MINI Countryman JCW as the vehicle of choice. The Countryman strikes us an odd selection, mind, surely it's undoubtedly bigger and probably a bit heavier than the standard hatch.
Still, with its taller stance, stripped out interior and race-spec engine that looks like it's in the rear of the car (presumably for the sake of balance), we can only conclude it's quite a different driving experience to the Countryman JCW that we borrowed recently.
This is the first in what looks like a series of videos, as the ending is left rather up in the air – literally!
No doubt MINI will fill us in with the final instalment eventually, but until then, enjoy the video below:

The Politics of Happiness
What Government Can Learn from the New Research on Well-Being
During the past forty years, thousands of studies have been carried out on the subject of happiness. Some have explored the levels of happiness or dissatisfaction associated with typical daily activities, such as working, seeing friends, or doing household chores. Others have tried to determine the extent to which income, family, religion, and other factors are associated with the satisfaction people feel about their lives. The Gallup organization has begun conducting global surveys of happiness, and several countries are considering publishing periodic reports on the growth or decline of happiness among their people. One nation, tiny Bhutan, has actually made "Gross National Happiness" the central aim of its domestic policy. How might happiness research affect government policy in the United States--and beyond? In The Politics of Happiness, former Harvard president Derek Bok examines how governments could use the rapidly growing research data on what makes people happy--in a variety of policy areas to increase well-being and improve the quality of life for all their citizens.
Bok first describes the principal findings of happiness researchers. He considers how reliable the results appear to be and whether they deserve to be taken into account in devising government policies. Recognizing both the strengths and weaknesses of happiness research, Bok looks at the policy implications for economic growth, equality, retirement, unemployment, health care, mental health, family programs, education, and government quality, among other subjects. Timely and incisive, The Politics of Happiness sheds new light on what makes people happy and how government policy could foster greater satisfaction for all.less

Feb. 02, 2010
In 1994, several months before the first commercial web-browser software launched the popular explosion of the world-wide web, R. J. Rummel's book, Death by Government, was published. Bigeye.com gave it a separate webpage. A quick review of this book's chapter headings underscores the fact that a murder of 3,000 or so people resulting from governmental activity (if that is the case of 9/11) would be an exceedingly small "drop in the bucket" in the over-all scheme of things.
Persons who are curious about what may or may not have happened on Sept. 11, 2001 must separate evidence from narrative. Because the 9/11 narrative has been strongly established, an unbiased researcher must not begin with any "official" narrative (one that tells you what happened). Start from scratch by putting aside all aspects of the narrative you have seen and heard on TV or read in mainline news sources. This is what THESE PEOPLE have done.
I know your initial response: "What about (phone calls, 'hijacker' tape, 19 flight-school Muslim terrorists …"). Many of us have been asking questions, perhaps the same ones you have, and seeking answers for several years. I'd like to recommend to you a recent book, The Hidden History of 9/11, edited by Paul Zarembka. Unless your mind is closed ("I know [the official story] must be true 'cause the government tells me so"), before you read the book spend time with bigeye.com's 911 links. If you know little of the real 911, you can easily educate yourself by watching videos on THIS PAGE.
When you grasp the WHY of 9/11 you will have less emotional resistance to discovering who murdered over 3,000 of our citizens. The late Aaron Russo's documentary videos offer a broad theory of the WHY. They need to be seen, although it seems unrealistic that a controlling oligarchy would risk employing technical expertise to execute 911. A more plausible theory, starting from CUI BONO, (Who Benefits? – the Latin starting argument in determining guilt) was propounded at the end of 2003 by Professor Paul J. Balles. Motive and benefit may be shared by both the guilty and the innocent. To accomplish a sophisticated event like 911 requires means and opportunity, as well as motive (benefit).
That day's tragedy is past. The WHY question (motive) must be understood, not only in America but throughout the world, by men and women who strive for Liberty.
Despotic governments have always become the biggest problem for human beings in their attempts to create communities providing peace and prosperity for themselves and for their children. What is all but impossible for people to grasp is the unimaginable evil and horror recounted in R.J. Rummel's book.
It is commonly asserted that George Washington declared, in his Farewell Address, something to the effect that, Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master, despite the fact that no such statement appears anywhere in his published Farewell Address (he never actually spoke one). In fact, there is no evidence that Washington ever wrote or said such a thing.
I never cease to be astounded by human gullibility. People are prone to believe whatever furnishes them comfort and uncomplicated answers to life's uncomfortable questions. 9/11 offers no exception. When it comes to the nature of government, I find some solace in Albert Jay Nock's Our Enemy, the State.
Most people will go on believing whatever they want to believe. That holds as true for the events of 9/11 as it does for the conviction that America's first president expressed an analogy between fire and government.
The Greeks realized and accepted the power of myths. Ours come from television.

Even low to moderate levels of exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos during pregnancy may lead to long-term, potentially irreversible changes in the brain structure of the child, according to a new brain imaging study … The changes in brain structure are consistent with cognitive deficits found in children exposed to this chemical.

Each year, the American Red Cross responds to more than 70-thousand disaster incidents, and it serve those affected with food, shelter and financial assistance. The Red Cross' Denise Bishop says companies get involved with their volunteer program called "Ready When the Time Comes."
"It's such a resource. Because during a large disaster, one of the greatest needs for us is to have volunteers who are trained before the disaster strikes. During a disaster, it's difficult for us to break loose and train spontaneous volunteers."
Involved in the training session were employees with Exxon-Mobil. Roy Clark retired from the company, but has remained active as a volunteer supervisor with Red Cross. His specialty is logistics and procurement.
Red Cross volunteer supervisor Roy-Clark
instructs volunteer trainees
"We've got areas around the city that we've already got some contracts with the landowners. It could be a parking lot. It could be a strip center, or a church parking lot where we already have agreements, where we can use that as a either a bulk distribution point, or set up an outside mobile kitchen."
Anita Taylor is another volunteer supervisor with Exxon-Mobil. She says volunteers learn everything from setting up shelters and cots, to mass care and feeding of those in need.
"This program trains the volunteers to understand that you're not just there setting up cot; you're also providing a sense of comfort, so that people who've been affected by these disasters can regroup and be ready to go back to their lives."
Hurricane season starts on June 1st with more than 16-named hurricanes expected to form this year.

Despite his advancing years, he has been playing his best rugby in the twilight of his career and picked up Grand Slams with Wales in 2005 and 2008 - the latter after Wales coach Warren Gatland enticed him out of international retirement.
His form for Wales and Cardiff Blues made him a certainty for a third tour and he was many people's tip for the Lions No7 Test jersey. But a shoulder injury picked up in the opening win over the Royal XV has kept him in the physio's room since then and forced him to miss the clash with the Free State Cheetahs last weekend.
His misfortune has given Munster and Ireland veteran David Wallace the chance to stake his claim for a place against the Springboks next week and he impressed in the record midweek win over the Sharks.
So now it is over to Williams to deliver against Western Province at Newlands this weekend and try to resurrect his claims for Test recognition.
"For a lot of us, Saturday's game is more or less like a final trial. We want to make it as hard as possible for Geech and the other coaches next week when they pick the Test team," said Williams.
"Geech made it clear from Day 1 that the Test side won't be selected until after Tuesday's match and that gives all of us something to aim for. We've got to go out on Saturday and raise the standard set by the team on Wednesday."
The Lions need a strong back row to challenge one of the strongest areas in the Springboks' game. Schalk Burger, Juan Smith and Pierre Spies have a massive reputation, and huge ability, and are just a few picks from an outstanding pool of back row talent in the South African squad.
Whoever plays at No 7 for the Lions in the series will be a critical figure and Wallace and Williams will have to be at the peak of their powers to match the Boks,
"I know I've probably lost a bit of ground because of my injury. It has been frustrating watching the guys play and train, but now I've got to make the most of my chance," said Williams..
"I haven't played in a trial match since Graham Henry had one when he was coach of Wales. I don't think there will be a danger of anyone trying too hard, it is just a question of playing your normal game
"I've trained all week and the shoulder has been as good as it has been for a long time. They hoped it would have cleared up for the Cheetahs match, but they put a cortisone injection in to get the inflammation down and that seems to have done the trick.
"I was alright during the game against the Royal XV, but on the day after the match I couldn't lift my arm above shoulder height. It's tough on tour when you are not playing and can't even train."
Look out for an explosive return at Newlands from the Welsh wizard.
