SOUTHPORT—Members of No Port Southport are continuing to make their voices heard about their objections to the N.C. International Terminal project planned for the Southport area.
This time, members have lodged a complaint with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about its draft analysis report, part of the ongoing reconnaissance study for the terminal.
No Port member Mike Rice requested the draft report using N.C. public records laws. He and other No Port members believe it did not address the issues it was designed to address.
An Oak Island woman and mother of three was killed Friday night when her car was struck head-on by a drunk driver.
Satu Harris, 38, of Oak Island, died Friday, May 7, when her car was hit head-on by a truck driven by Daniel Harrison Brennick, according to a N.C. State Highway Patrol report.
Brennick, 22, of Southport, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet pickup truck north on N.C. 133 about 3.5 miles north of Southport around 11:29 p.m. May 7.
SOUTHPORT—With metal roofs, hardiplank siding, hardwood floors and ceramic tile kitchen counters, the new cottages at the Turtlewood subdivision in Southport don't seem much different from the homes Whitney Blair Custom Homes usually builds in high-end developments.
But the process was different for the Sunset Beach-based company—the cottages contain less than 2,000 square feet and are priced less than $300,000.
The greatest days of the year for a political reporter have to be the days following an election.
The races are called (for the most part), the campaign staffs have eased up on their 3 a.m. press e-mails (fastest way to annoy a reporter with a BlackBerry) and the candidates' signs you can't drive 5 feet without seeing seemingly disappear overnight.
The Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team is a support unit, whose primary functions are traffic enforcement and assisting in the apprehension of drug traffickers in the county. The ACE team conducts driving while impaired and driver's license checkpoints, as well as street-level investigations on controlled substances.
Brunswick County Sheriff's deputies investigated the following incidents last week, which are taken directly from sheriff's office incident reports:
•Stolen purse on Holden Beach Road; suspect stole victim's purse from the side of the road.
•Property damage and larceny on Chadwick Landing Road in Shallotte; suspect cut victim's gas line and stole a gas tank.
•Larceny on Chadwick Landing Road in Shallotte; suspect stole jewelry from victim's jewelry box.
The K-9 enforcement team answers calls, conducts driver's license checkpoints and assists with other agencies when K-9s are needed.
From May 3-9, K-9 deputies answered 13 calls, wrote 10 citations and made five drug arrests, including four possession of marijuana charges, five possession of drug paraphernalia charges and one possession of a schedule II controlled substance charge.
K-9 deputies found 23 grams of marijuana and one Concerta pill.
Shallotte police charged the following people and investigated the following incidents last week. All information is taken directly from police reports.
•Police charged Shady Leonard Daniels III, 29, of 5161 Lakewood Drive, Shallotte, with two counts of worthless check and one count of obtaining property by false pretense. He was taken to the Brunswick County Detention Center.
•Police charged William David Salmon, 20, of 143 Wall St., Shallotte, with domestic assault. He was taken to the Brunswick County Detention Center under no bond.
Jim and Barb Conley of Bolivia say the Spring Beach Rally now continuing at Beach House Harley Davidson in Shallotte is a great gathering place for weekend bikers.
The couple, who have been attending bike rallies for about six years now, said they found many more vendors and activities at the Shallotte event than in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and were pleased the event was so much closer to their home.
Last year, a large development that had been in the planning stages for several years stalled due to lack of funding.
It left a number of property owners with unusable land and requiring the town of Shallotte to use bonds to complete the planned infrastructure.
This year, the N.C. General Assembly passed a bill preventing any town or county from calling bonds to complete unfinished projects. It didn't affect the development, San Rio, off Gray Bridge Road, but it worried town officials.

yes, the review is unfair because l920 is like 6 months old, we should wait for nokias flagship
79. Whodaboss (Posts: 176; Member since: 18 Nov 2011)
What a hack of a review! And that's being kind. Did you really look at the low light video test? What a clever and deceiving videos. The HTC phone video captures all the lights in the room to brighten up the recording. The L920 phone is faced to the floor for a number of seconds showing total darkness then when brought back on the dancers it barely captures all the light in the room. Take a real good look at the videos. These folks at phonearena went out of their way to make the L920 look bad. I suppose it's their site they can do whatever they like. But I don't have to bite on their deceitfulness.

920 is only superior to htc in terms of camera.
My vote goes to htc one,u cant buy a phone only for its camera

Exactly..808is best option for our friend..

In my opinion it's the (Worst)
The Htc One excels on everything, except the camera!
28. jlp34876 (Posts: 80; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
HTC one may excel in specs, but the day to day performance would be the same it will still do the job of being a smart phone.

we all know PA is not much of a WP fan :') to them the iphone never lose a comparison -_-"
36. Shadow_Assassin (Posts: 11; Member since: 30 May 2012)
lumia 920 has similar spec to the iphone5. But their comparation showed iphone5 is equally good as htc one while lumia 920 is outdoes by the htc one in almost every department. what a joke.
11. windroid (unregistered)
I think it's a good and fair review. The 920 was incredibly innovative when introduced, but time passes and any phone 6 months old loses some of its glory. Anyway 920 still is an amazing device, but HTC One takes the lead.
In terms of real daily use, any of the two would serve its owner very well and the main difference would be the OS, some prefers more modularity and personalization (Android) some prefers more social integration and strait usage (WP).
29. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 4328; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
I agree...
I like the 920...but this time, i'm going to go with the One. It is better.
One thing though, i don't like how they designed One, most may beg to differ, but that's my opinion.
Still, 920 will always be the phone that pioneered the engineering of OIS.
12. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1345; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
WP, Apple and BB just can't hang with Android. That lumina already looks ancient. To bad Nokia is in bed with Microsoft because I bet Nokia can make an awesome Android phone without being tied down by Microsoft. It would change peoples mindset overnight.
16. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Misrosoft owns Nokia, they are in contract for another 2years of funding.
Nokia have landed in a death grip!

Long time since your last criticism, really missing your post without any type of argumentation, only full of hate, I see where it comes from, but, go outside, pick a little sun...
17. jlp34876 (Posts: 80; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
Why do you want Nokia to build an android device? Aren't you satisfied with the current OEM android has? I have a lumia 710 and a nexus 7 and open a PDF of calculus book with 1300+pages on both devices using acrobat reader. And the performance is almost identical even if your searching a specific word or number.

The Danish Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration has awarded a pool of funds so that a number of philanthropic organisations can establish debt advisory services in the largest cities in Denmark. The purpose is to help people with debt problems manage their finances. The service will be staffed by volunteers who work in the banking sector.
The Danish Bankers Association is working with the philanthropic organisations to recruit volunteers by creating an "adviser bank" of volunteer advisers.
Danske Bank Group supports this initiative as a natural part of our Corporate Responsibility work and an extension of our efforts to promote financial literacy. We have therefore posted internal announcements seeking volunteers for the adviser bank and are supporting the project by paying for part of the hours that the employees spend as debt advisers.
Employees have shown great interest in the project, and many have applied to volunteer. They wish to use their advisory skills to help a distressed social group and also to gain a gratifying experience.
In 2012, the success of the programme prompted the Danish Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration to increase the funding from DKK 16 million to DKK 39 million over the next four years.
The Group has appointed 22 volunteers to the project. They have become part of teams with other volunteers such as attorneys, social workers and advisers from other banks, and they will be challenged both professionally and personally.
Through the Danish Bankers Association, we work with various Danish organisations that offer debt advisory services.Read about KFUM's advisory services (Danish only)

A great cruise with questions about the cruise line: Celebrity Infinity Cruise Review by Kalistrat
Overall Member Rating
A great cruise with questions about the cruise line
Destination: South America
Embarkation: Buenos Aires
One of the major destination points on this cruise was infamous Cape Horn, the most Southern piece of land (besides Antarctica). After leaving Puerto Madryn we were on the way there when one of the 85-year old passengers had a minor heart attack. There is no doubt that a human life is more important than anything else, and all actions should be always taken to save a human life, in spite of any More circumstances. Thus, the captain purportedly consulted with the local authorities about possible ways to evacuate the sick person. The authorities refused to send a helicopter and denied him entrance to Rio Grande port that we were passing at the time. So, the captain decided to go to Ushuaia right away bypassing Cape Horn all together. We arrived to Ushuaia about 14-16 hours ahead of schedule and the human life was saved. The only compensation for the failure to reach Cape Horn was a meager "I am sorry" statement from the captain later.
Again, I praise the Lord (not the captain), that the human life was not compromised and our fellow passenger was safely transported to a healthcare facility in Ushuaia. Nevertheless, I believe the chain of events revealed a fundamental flaw in Celebrity's policies and organization. Here's why I believe so. I have been a business owner for a number of years and in the past managed a high profile company that went public at the London Stock Exchange. I know what businesses can and should do to fulfill their responsibilities to the public (or their clients per se). I know that in corporate codes there is always a contingency plan in case if something unusual happens. A company like Celebrity having two thousand passengers with majority of them being over retirement age definitely has a contingency plan that dictates actions in case of statistical emergencies as such that happened on our cruise. People over 65 do have a greater chance of a heart attack than people between ages of 25 to 55. Statistically, on a cruise like this there is more than a half of people older than 65. This is just statistics. So, when a "normal" statistical event happened during the cruise, there should have been some contingency plan in place to either efficiently evacuate the person without affecting the rest of the cruise, or to make arrangements to compensate the rest of the passengers if an evacuation attempt fails. However, on Celebrity Cruises the contingency plan was either absent or simply bad. It was definitely not a good plan, for it easily failed with no complicating circumstances such as bad weather, equipment failure, multiple accidents, etc.
It is possible that there was no a reasonable agreement between Celebrity and local authorities in place. We really don't know in what manner the local authorities were contacted by the cruise line and what they were told. But, the fact is, they refused to send a helicopter and denied entry into the port of Rio Grande with no specific reasons. As I mentioned earlier, the weather was calm and our ship had a perfectly designed helipad for accepting helicopters (obviously in case of emergency).
Personally to me the decision to go straight to Ushuaia seemed to be more financial in nature than anything else. An emergency helicopter or a stop at an extra sea port would be related with some heavy out of pockets expenses for the company. On contrary, cutting a hole leg out of the cruise and bringing a patient to one of the ports on the itinerary definitely saved the company a lot of money. The sad part of the whole thing was that the company decided not to compensate the rest of the passengers for its failure in any way. I think a mere "open bar" for the night would be at least a small token of company's remorse and apology. Of course, I am not a drinker as many other passengers on board, so maybe a little souvenir from the company with a "sorry" note would do it. No, there was not even that. The captain just told us about the situation from the TV screens and apologized with an indifferent statement "we are sorry".
The other disappointment on the cruise was the food. Good food is what a lot of people anticipate when they go on cruises. Unfortunately, Celebrity failed in that regard as the food on the ship was not at par with the other cruises (like Princess) I've been to. First of all, I was disappointed to come to the buffet restaurant (Oceanview cafe) every day and find exactly the same selection of items time after time. It does get old after the first week. Second, nothing ever seemed fresh. I know that the cruise lines don't buy local produce during the cruise. So, they have to store everything up for 2-3 weeks in their refrigerators. But, I don't think that adds to a good experience. Greens were always wilted, meats had a pre-frozen feel to them and other foods seemed like they had survived an extended shelf-life on board. Even the special dining restaurants (like Trellis) could not avoid these problems all together. I know that one passenger on the ship was so appalled by the quality of food that after a scandal she received a special "Manager's" diet - dishes cooked for her by the chef individually.
Other than that, the ship was clean and nice, and the staff was doing their jobs at every other department. All the staff members were very friendly and hardworking. Our stateroom attendant did an outstanding job cleaning our room each day and making sure we had everything we needed.
The tours scheduled through Celebrity were good and reasonably priced. We went on three of them at Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego National Park), Punta Arenas (Otway Sound bay) and Puerto Mont (Osorno Volcano and Petrohue Rapids). My favorite was Tierra del Fuego just because of the best tour guide we had. He knew his job, was a lot of fun, very informative and made sure we were separated from other tour groups to get the best experience possible. My least favorite was the Osorno Volcano tour, again, because of the tour guide. The microphone on the bus broke, so she just chose to sit and tell us almost absolutely nothing about the area. It was a very quiet excursion.
Considering that I had been on Princess cruises before and it was my first time on Celebrity, I will probably choose to stay with the Princess. This is not a review for Princess, so I am going to end this here. I humbly recommend Celebrity to review their contingency (emergency evacuation) policies and food storage and preparation techniques. I think Celebrity is a wonderful cruise company, that has great fleet and staff, but they do need improvement in very important areas. Less

GAO discussed its review of the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms' (BATF) investigation and resolution of sexual harassment complaints. GAO noted that: (1) DEA employees were reluctant to use the complaints process because they feared reprisal from managers; (2) female employees were concerned because investigators demonstrated a lack of sensitivity and the DEA and BATF investigative units primarily employed male investigators; (3) complainants and witnesses were concerned about the overall independence, objectivity, and thoroughness of the DEA and BATF internal investigative units; (4) the investigative units did not always show an understanding of concerns unique to sexual harassment allegations; (5) the investigative units did not guarantee complainants a right to representation or focus on whether complainants' rights were violated; and (6) neither agency had adequately communicated to employees general information on the consequences of sexual harassment. GAO noted that, in the last year, BATF has taken actions it recommended to improve its handling of sexual harassment complaints.

Bernard Trépanier, a political fundraiser who cut his teeth helping elect a Progressive Conservative MP in the Brian Mulroney era, told Quebec's corruption inquiry that even strict political financing laws brought in to the province nearly 40 years ago did nothing to clean up municipal politics.
Mr. Trépanier admitted he was paid illegally to organize turnkey elections in a long list of municipalities surrounding Montreal from the 1980s into the 2000s. Those races didn't require his fundraising skills, he said. They were already bought and paid for by engineering and law firms looking for city business.
In the first 10 years of this century, even as he was head fundraiser for Union Montréal, the party in power in the city, Mr. Trépanier collected nearly $1-million to act as an unregistered lobbyist for engineering firm Dessau.
He said part of his job was to link Dessau with a contact inside Montreal's airport authority, but an hour of questioning did little to clarify what Mr. Trépanier did, exactly.
"I was a guy who opened doors," Mr. Trépanier said. "I helped people get from point A to point B with my contacts."
Asked if he'd ever seen the strict campaign financing laws brought in by René Lévesque applied to the real world of municipal politics, he answered: "I never saw it with my own eyes."
Mr. Trépanier was a whirlwind of political organizing over three decades, a man who was known to make hundreds of calls a day in his efforts to organize workers and raise funds.
He said he started out as a volunteer for the federal Progressive Conservatives, helping elect MP Claude Lanthier in LaSalle in 1984. He moved to Ottawa and worked as a staffer for a series of cabinet ministers, including Benoît Bouchard, Suzanne Blais-Grenier, André Bissonette and Monique Vézina.
Mr. Trépanier left Ottawa in 1987 but worked in Quebec on Kim Campbell's PC leadership campaign in 1993.
The commission's mandate does not include investigating the federal scene. Inquiry head France Charbonneau has allowed few forays into federal matters.
In the late 1980s, Mr. Trépanier began to concentrate on the municipal world, where he said he was a "volunteer," usually paid, in campaigns in Laval, Boisbriand, Longueuil, Saint-Jérôme and other Montreal suburbs before he moved to the city and became chief fundraiser of then-mayor Gérald Tremblay's party in 2004.
There was one campaign he refused to be paid for, however: The 2001 mayorality campaign in the Montreal borough of Saint-Léonard, where his friend, Frank Zampino, was elected. "Never!" Mr. Trépanier said. "A friend's a friend."
That friend was a key figure, along with Mr. Trépanier, in a series of deals worth tens of millions of dollars and now the subject of criminal process and investigation. In one example, the two men await trial on criminal charges, including fraud, corruption, breach of trust and conspiracy on a land deal in Montreal's east end.
Through months of testimony, Mr. Trépanier has been described as the mastermind behind a system that skimmed millions of dollars off Montreal construction contracts for illegal cash financing of Union Montréal, the party that controlled city hall for most of the 2000s.
Just this week, a former Union Montréal official agent, Marc Deschamps, suggested Mr. Trépanier pocketed the millions of dollars he skimmed off construction contracts over about a decade. Mr. Trépanier has yet to address the allegation in his testimony. The 74-year-old said he has some difficulty piecing together events, because of a drinking problem and memory lapses. He also had a hard time hearing questions.
Last fall, former party staffer Martin Dumont described a fundraiser where Mr. Trépanier's coat was so stuffed with cash he couldn't button it, a safe at party offices so packed, Mr. Dumont said, that Mr. Trépanier could no longer close it. Alexandra Pion, a former receptionist at the party office, described refusing to help Mr. Trépanier count a suitcase full of cash in 2005.
A stream of engineers and construction bosses have described how Mr. Trépanier demanded flat sums up to $200,000 to finance election campaigns, along with regular takes of 3 per cent on construction contracts.Report Typo/Error

ATHENS, Ga. - Authorities are investigating the cause of a fire that destroyed the childhood home of a man accused of killing an Athens police officer.
The fire was reported shortly before noon on Tuesday at the family home of Jamie Hood in Clarke County. Hood is charged with fatally shooting Officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian and wounding Officer Tony Howard in March 2011.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports that Hood's parents, Azalee and Robert Hood Sr., left the house on Rannick Road about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to make final arrangements for one of Hood's uncles, who died last weekend.
Athens-Clarke County fire Battalion Chief Gary Jeffers says the cause is unknown, and the investigation is in its early stages.
If convicted of the shootings, Hood faces the death penalty.

Perth Festival director
The performers start off kneading bread dough, which they then put into ovens on stage. As the bread bakes, the actors tell their stories: about boyfriends, girlfriends, disappointments, successes. Life.
"It's all about being human and it connects so strongly with the audience, you come out feeling like the colours of the world are different to what they were when you went in," says Holloway.
The British-born director decided it was a must-have for the third of his four Perth Festivals, which opens on February 7.
"Perth has so much fortune, and I'm talking about good luck, not just money," he says. "Hearing stories about people who have overcome and celebrated difficult situations, it seemed like the greatest thing to do to bring that to a first world city."
Along with the show, called Not by Bread Alone, Perth will also get Nalaga'at's Blackout Restaurant, in which 40 guests at each of two nightly sittings dine in pitch dark, their food served by blind waiters.
Digital, incorporated
This kind of participatory work is compelling to Holloway and, he believes, to audiences. The digital revolution has made life more interactive; why not the arts?
"I want to change the relationship between the festival, the arts and the audience," Holloway says. "The idea that you turn up at 7.30pm, something happens and you go home again is great, but it's just one of the possibilities."
Holloway appointed a digital producer this year to help identify ways in which technology can be used to raise audience engagement and interactivity.
One outcome will be the final gala concert, which will feature sounds submitted by Perth residents: anything from traffic on St Georges Terrace to birds chirping to the chiming of the Swan Bells.
Called A Symphony for Perth, it is being composed by American Tod Machover, professor of MIT's Media Lab, with the West Australian Symphony performing. Machover's students created the hit interactive game Guitar Hero.
"No digital platform can turn bad art into good art – you still need a great artist in the middle of it, analysing and pulling everything together," Holloway says.
Another piece, Situation Rooms, sees audience members walking through a series of rooms with headphones on and iPad in hand. Through their eyes and ears they learn the stories of 20 people who are involved in the weapons industry.
The piece comes from German theatre collective Rimini Protokoll. "You want to be one step in front of the audience, but only one step," says Holloway. "If you're five or six steps ahead, you lose them."

Hay availability in Henry County and Kentucky may be short this winter because of weather events—last year's drought, this year's early record rainfall, and this year's summer drought—both hay quality and yield are down. Some effort at conservation and planning will help make hay last longer through the winter.
Store hay inside a barn or other structure where it will remain dry. Hay testing is the first step to knowing how much will be necessary to meet the nutritional needs of the animals to be fed, from horses to cattle to goats.

A DERELICT mill is to be knocked down to make way for a discount food store and a new pub.
Plans to build a Lidl and a Marston's pub on the site of Glen Mill, in North Valley Road, Colne, were approved by councillors despite local objections.
Residents in Hannover Street were concerned about the possibility of increased traffic along their road, while there were also concerns about adding to the congestion on North Valley Road and about damaging the vitality of Colne town centre.
But the plans were approved by councillors, who said they were the best option for the site.
Coun Joe Cooney said: "Is it ideal? No. Are we going to get anything better? No.
"We cannot leave it as an eyesore. We have to get the best deal we can for the entire town."
As part of the plans, the developers will fund a scheme to synchronise the traffic lights along the notoriously congested North Valley Road.
Coun Cooney said: "The changes to the traffic lights along North Valley Road will help keep the traffic flowing.
"If we want to stop congestion then we need to build a bypass."
Graham Wharton, chairman of the Colne Town Centre Forum, said: "Developments like this can be damaging by taking customers away from the town centre.
"You get customers that love coming to Colne but it takes too long to get into the town."
However, councillors said the town centre remained successful, despite out-of-town supermarkets.
Coun Tony Greaves said: "Colne town centre is not decimated. The town centre is a success story. We have to pinch ourselves at how much of a success story it is."
An exit from the site will be on to Hannover Street, but one of the conditions of the development will mean the entrance to the site from the street will be blocked off, and vehicles will only be able to turn left on to Hannover Street, towards North Valley Road.

Earth Day gets me in the mood to celebrate green beer, but not that awful dyed stuff that's popular on St. Patrick's Day. Instead, it's an opportunity to share some examples of brewers who are taking steps to protect the environment and reduce the impact that their production of the world's greatest beverage is having on our planet.
New Belgium Brewing Company has made environmental sustainability central to how they do business. The Fort Collins, Colo., brewer closely measures their impact on the environment, and has set goals to reduce the amount of energy they use to produce their beers and the amount of water it takes to brew a glass of beer. The brewery also sends less than 1 percent of their waste to landfills — everything else is reused or recycled.
New Belgium also has a remarkable power generation setup where microbes feed on the wastewater from the production of beer, producing methane gas that is then used to generate electricity. When the system is working at maximum efficiency, these little critters can produce up to 15 percent of the juice needed to run the brewery.
Sierra Nevada is another large craft brewery that's doing big things for the environment. They own one of the largest private arrays of solar panels in the country, more than 10,000, and are the only brewery in the country with hydrogen fuel cells on site. Combined, these non-combustible technologies provide the Chico, Calif., brewery with about 40 percent of the energy they need to produce their excellent beers. The sustainability page on their website even has meters that share the amount of on-site power generation occurring at any moment, just in case you'd like to eco-stalk them.
Like New Belgium, Sierra Nevada sends less than one percent of their solid waste to landfills. Their HotRod composting system recycles organic waste so it can be reused to fertilize the brewery's hop and barley fields and their gardens.
Of course, if you really want to do good for the environment, visit a brewpub, where the beer is brewed and consumed on-site, eliminating the pollution created by transporting bottles or cans.
Among the greenest is Portland, Ore.'s Hopworks Urban Brewery, which calls itself the first "Eco-Brewpub." Instead of having been built from the ground up, their structure is "recycled" from what was originally a tractor showroom. Much of the décor is fashioned from reclaimed materials, and the place boasts high-efficiency appliances and lighting throughout.
Hopworks is serious about water conservation as well. They have lowered their water-to-beer ratio to 4.23 gallons of water for every gallon of organic beer produced, putting them on a par with eco-obsessed big brewer New Belgium. They also use water-saving toilets, faucets and dishwashers, and take advantage of Portland's many rainy days to collect water for irrigation in the dry season and for outdoor cleaning.
In addition, the kitchen at Hopworks cooks with local ingredients whenever they can, getting them from suppliers who are into sustainability as well. They use 100 percent recycled paper products when possible, and their carry-out containers can be composted. The brewpub also claims that two-thirds of all employees arrive at work by eco-friendly means, either by bike, public transportation, carpools or good old-fashioned shoe leather.
Not satisfied with those attempts to be kind to Mother Earth, Hopworks also purchases offsets for the water and energy they cannot conserve, giving the business a nearly invisible environmental footprint.
Of course, you homebrewers out there are probably yelling at your screen, saying that brewing at home is the most environmentally friendly way to enjoy good beer. There's merit to that argument — the bottles are used again and again, and there are no transportation emissions once the beer is brewed. And while professional brewers strive for a 4-to-1 water-to-beer ratio, homebrewers can brew a gallon of beer with as little as 1.5 gallons of water.
But whether you buy it or make it yourself, it's nice to know that there are beers out there brewed with sustainability in mind. As we begin to face the harsh environmental realities of the 21st century, it's good to see some of America's craft brewers showing us ways industry and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Interchange 12 Sewer Interceptor Project
This project will increase the existing interceptor sewer capacity by approximately 3 million gallons per day and eliminate the most significantly undersized sewer section downstream of Framingham Technology Park. This will enable projected future growth in the area.
The project will extend and upgrade the towns existing sewer
collection system by installing approximately 4,600 linear feet of new
interceptor sewer parallel to the CSX railway between Temple Street and Salem
End Road.
Using the railway corridor will minimize disruption to the residents and businesses while achieving the projects objectives. The project will include approximately 2500 linear feet of trenchless pipe construction, including crossings at the CSX railway crossing, Route 9 and the Massachusetts Turnpike. Roadway improvements at the intersection of Salem End Road and Maynard Road will also be included in the project.
The current schedule for construction is the summer of 2017.
A Neighborhood Meeting was held on January 18, 2017 at 7:00PM in the Brophy School cafeteria, 575 Pleasant Street, for area residents and businesses. The meeting is located on the tab above entitled "Neighborhood Meeting January 2017",
Construction is scheduled and anticipated to begin in the mid- 2017 construction season.

Film studios functioning well despite fire

Film studios functioning well despite fire
Despite a fire that destroyed a workshop building on the periphery of Auckland Film Studios in Henderson, Auckland last night, filming of an international production on the site is proceeding.
The current production is concentrated in the major purpose built sound stage which was unaffected by the fire. The other facilities have not been affected.
This production and the ones that follow can be confident it is business as usual.
The fire started around midnight in a workshop and training area on the edge of the lot, well away from the studios and offices where over 300 staff are already at work today.
The New Zealand Fire Service responded quickly and contained the blaze.
We are extremely thankful that the damage caused by the fire is limited, and service to the production on site can continue," said Auckland Film Studios Ltd Chairman James Hill. "Our thanks go out to the fire service."
The cause of the fire is unknown and the fire service is conducting an investigation.

Comment 1•
4 years ago
I think I may have wanted to avoid the strange logic there is as to when to show the icon, but as you don't think that balloons and alerts mix then I don't think that will be a problem.
That shouldn't depend on the regular alerts. The only check I'd like to add is that showing the balloon is tied to the mail.biff.show_tray_icon preference and doesn't just depend on mail.biff.show_balloon alone.
Analysis: The entire action is confined within a single file, that's mailnews/base/src/nsMessengerWinIntegration.cpp, which is good. There is a global Windows Shell struct NOTIFYICONDATAW sBiffIconData that collects all information for the icon, and two locations (lines 431 and 477) where it's either filled or left empty based on SHOW_BALLOON_PREF. This can all stay as it is. The relevant part seems to be the following hunk of bug 605972, http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/740d1cf79d2b#l1.197 modifying nsMessengerWinIntegration::AlertFinished(), which contains the logic regarding SHOW_TRAY_ICON_PREF (line 605). Apparently the idea was to show the icon only in certain cases, thus mSuppressBiffIcon can be set to skip that part. The logic before bug 605972 was > !mSuppressBiffIcon && SHOW_TRAY_ICON_PREF and then became > (!mSuppressBiffIcon && SHOW_TRAY_ICON_PREF) || sBiffIconData.szInfo[0] where the final term yields true if sBiffIconData was filled with a string, which can only happen before if SHOW_BALLOON_PREF is set. Thus, changing the logic to > (!mSuppressBiffIcon || sBiffIconData.szInfo[0]) && SHOW_TRAY_ICON_PREF should provide the desired result, i.e., won't call GenericShellNotify() to show the icon if !SHOW_TRAY_ICON_PREF applies, despite SHOW_BALLOON_PREF being set.
Created attachment 733520 [details] [diff] [review] Proposed fix This patch moves "|| sBiffIconData.szInfo[0]" up so that it is included in the check for SHOW_TRAY_ICON_PREF per comment #3. I assume that a single review is sufficient here as it is a local change only without any impact on API or other modules, otherwise please let me know.

Stories of the financial crisis
Our personal stories from around Europe of how the eurozone crisis has affected individuals inspired a large number of personal accounts in the comments thread.
TheRunawayFound says:
Other than the very first sentence, I found this a very good piece all round. We know that lots of people are struggling, and that times are hard - I've had to move continents to find work, I know I'm not the only one who's had to go that far, and I also know I'm lucky to have work - but putting individual, hard-working faces with their owns stories really brings it home.
I disagree that austerity has brought us to this point - massive over-spending and recklessness did that - and if we spent now it would only lead to harsher times down the road.
It is a shame, though, that the article had to start with a comment about Poland's new found work ethic, when Eastern Europe has been a region that has toiled, much of the time at gunpoint, for centuries.

Then the financial crisis hit, and despite gaining more experience and an MA, I've remained stuck at the bottom of the career ladder;
I had quite an illuminating conversation on this subject recently with a female relative recently who did her arts education to MA about 35 years ago (in the UK).
She basically said she this expectation of good jobs a-plenty for arts graduates is fairly new. "It was never expected that most arts graduates would get good pay" or similar. The exception for the working class was a vocation like teaching. As a child of the 80s-90s boom (and in tech / finance), I'd never seen it that way.
My mum's entry job after her MA was childcare (she ended up running the place). Very interestingly, more than one of the female CEO's that I work with now had a very similar route. The one thing I had noticed is that absolutely all of them have only ever done public sector jobs.
The fiscal policies of the last 30 years broadened opportunities for many but now the bills are being paid. Horrendous for many young people of course.
PPetteflet adds:
I am NOT an Englander (thanks god!) and I did read the other stories as well. The truth is that the British story sounds the most cruel while the French story is by far the least of an issue.
But I find that in the British case its the result of a corrupt system, a Thatcher-approach in a capitalistic way, so not sure how representative for the rest of Europe is.
The French on the other side I find them very representative for the Western Europe, who always complain about the Eastern and Souther Europe but they still live very good. With social benefits, like huurtoeslag, zorgtoeslag (rent and health benefits), unemployment benefits, child benefits, education benefits... In addition they work the least in Europe overall and everything is connected to relaxation.
The Polish case I find very representative for Eastern Europe where people actual fight for survival. While the Spanish and the Italian case I think it can apply to me, as I am an intern architect, in my last year of my masters and still not sure what will happen in the future. (though i live by myself its true).
jglitter says:
I graduated in 2007, and for a year, I got offered every job I applied for. Then the financial crisis hit, and despite gaining more experience and an MA, I've remained stuck at the bottom of the career ladder; it just doesn't seem possible to advance, because so many vastly over-qualified people are applying for any job they can get. I've applied for dozens of jobs, which I was frequently over-qualified for, got interviews, and the answer was always the same: "sorry, you were great and we wish we could employ you, but we had a high standard of applicants and there was someone who's been doing this exact job or better elsewhere for the past five years".
I've been temping for the past year, and have only just now been lucky enough to get permanent part-time work with the company I was temping with. I'm getting by; I'm doing better than a lot of people I know; but this uncertain, worry-filled working life bears no resemblance to the career path I was promised if I worked hard and got some experience. It feels as though my life and progression has stalled, despite my best efforts; like a lot of people my age, I'll manage, but I feel stuck in a circular rotation of entry-level jobs when in a better economic climate I would be earning more in a more responsible position.
It's infuriating, especially as I'm aware that I've been very fortunate; if I'd graduated a year later, I wouldn't have got the year's experience that I could cite in interviews for yet another entry-level job; on top of that, I have a degree, and have often taken work that doesn't require one. I hate to be the overqualified competitor for a job someone who left school with A-levels should be able to count on, but there's no other option but starve.

In Paris at the moment, you'll likely to hear very contrasting stories of peoples' personal situations, some better and some much worse than the Cergy case above. I've lived here for 6 years now, and though there have always been homeless people around, I've definitely noticed more and more kipping out on metro platforms and in shop doorways in the last few months. And when on the metro my carriage is now more often filled with people experiencing hardship getting on and giving a 'speech' to the rest of the passengers about their plight, looking for donations.
On the flipside to this, the swanky department stores are full of people, the gig and concert venues I've been to are busy, and the restaurants have no shortage of punters. It's hard to know whether these types are genuinely experiencing good times, or have their fingers in their ears pretending it's all ok when it isn't, but are just carrying on as 'normal' to keep up with everyone else. Whichever one it is, there's an increasing feeling of division between those in difficulty and those who are (on the surface at least) not
sugarvalves says:
I can identify with a lot of the stories on here but luckily i've ended up in a never ending status quo rather than a spiral towards debt, and it's a sign of the times that I consider this a lucky situation to be in.
Several years ago I was embarking on a promising BBC career, many temporary month contracts with decent pay and chance of progress, all while living at home. Unfortunately just as the financial crisis hit my mother became ill and with my father having died several years prior, I was now the only breadwinner in the family supporting myself and my sister. I had to abandon my career in favour of a low paid highly skilled job at a local high school, where I remain to this day. The job paid enough to just about get by but left me in large amounts of debt, something I only recently paid off due to an inheritance from my late father paying out.
I can only offer the following advice to Mr Boden, persevere even in the face of rejection. My mother, who had a severe mental breakdown, was consistently refused any form of benefit and my local GP was partially to blame for this, refusing to diagnose her correctly. In the end when we went to medical health specialists they told me if she had been denied treatment anymore, she would not have been able to recover mentally, possibly full time care for the rest of her life. As it is she was treated, exceptionally well, and recovered sufficently to work. At the time she was refused ESA, then awarded ESA, then they demanded its return for reasons we could not fathom. We eventually gave up with them and luckily she was okay to work. At an ESA tribunal they requested a mentally ill woman present her case, and didnt tell her she needed a medical expert on hand with her. 2nd time she went to the tribunal, they told her that her case worker was not sufficient, despite being a medical professional, and she needed her actual psychiatric doctor on hand, who was not available for several months, hence why we gave up. She now claims for disability living allowance and was awarded a high component and a low component because of her learning difficulties, she has a particularly low IQ. It all depends on the person handling your case, a disgraceful set of affairs but nothing you can do about it other than persist and lobby.
Mr Boden you need to first of all find a GP who is sympathetic to your situation, who can come up with a fully detailed report about you and your injuries, and who is willing to support your application for ESA and DLA. Our family doctor for years was replaced by two new GP's, one a reckless idiot who refused to do anything, the 2nd was a Polish lady who did absolutely everything possible to help despite being new to the area. Find a good doctor, get your case together with them and fight for what is rightfully yours.
My current situation is that I am still looking to finally leave my mother's house (i'm 28) and my current job, which pays less than Aldi, but until the latter happens I cannot afford to do the former, and therefore I, like many others find themselves in a state of purgatory. I am eternally grateful for the fact I have a roof over my head though, unlike many others in less fortunate circumstances.
Emergency Food Aid
The number of people asking for emergency food aid has risen, according to the country's largest organiser of food banks.
JaneThomas says:
Strangely, Australia also has 10% of its population living with food insecurity, and it is a country that is not suffering from a recession or large unemployment rates. It is also a primary food producer. One of the greatest contributiorsd to food insecurity is the price of shelter and utilities. Housing a family and paying ofr electriicty and water costs so much that parents keep children home from school if they do not have enough to send them with lunch or eat less themselves. So, I would say that real estate markets and the privatisation of utilities has much more to do with this problem than a recession.
cymraeg147 writes:
The UK has become a very depressing place to live. Benefit cuts, price increases on even the basic foodstuffs and no jobs. What a mess.
We are on a downward spiral that is on a scale never seen before and our politicians pretend its for our own good. What a joke. The rich are laughing all the way to the bank and the rest of us are heading for destitution. If ever there was a need for a sea change in political life it is now, before its too late. We need either a revolution or a political party that represents the needs of the majority of people in the UK. A party that will galvanise the high level of anger and discontent that currently pervades the UK and channel it into constructive change to the socio/economic system. Change that will bring us jobs, affordable housing, a sound welfare state and a life of dignity not foodbanks.
Erzans says:
I'm all for bashing the Tory government, calling for reforms and fairness like any other good minded person. But very depressing? a mess? no. Go and live in Greece to understand what a 'very depressing' place is like to live in. This is before I tell you to live in the Caribbean, Africa, China or India. All with hundreds of millions of people in living in extreme poverty and or repression. Regardless of everything that is happening in the UK, compared to many places on earth we live in paradise.
Does this mean the Tory cuts are good and should not be challenged with every bone in our body? of course not. But we should at least do so with a global perspective.
Barnymeinhoff adds:
The last time I signed on ( about 6 years ago now ) it took approximately 6 weeks for me to get any money at all, I didnt have savings, redundancy etc. I would imagine a large number of those using the service are people who have been laid off and have yet to recieve benefits.
I doubt the recent cuts to benefit staff have sped up the process in the last few years.
forgottenyouth argues:
Why has noone mentioned the elephant in the room? The reason people cannot afford the small amount it takes to feed themselves is because of the HUGE cost of housing. House prices almost doubled under the last labour government thanks to cheap credit and 100%+ mortgages. It costs a few pounds for a meal, but it can cost almost 100% of take home pay to pay the rent or a mortgage. My generation is a lost generation thanks to new labour.
Crying babies
Crying babies are hard to ignore, due to a primitive response from a part of the brain.
fiftyshades writes:
This doesn't really explain why they are hard to ignore, only their effect upon the human brain. I have read that the reason why they are hard to ignore is because they notes of their cry are chaotic and hence are hard to ignore for the human brain that more than anything wants to recognise patterns, similarly nails being dragged down a chalkboard.
fartmoisture writes:
I recall when my wife was in the ward overnight, having given birth. The lady in the next bed left her baby to cry in the night, even putting earplugs in so she wouldn't hear it while she slept (unlike the other ladies in the ward who had to listen to her baby cry). Interestingly, she wasn't doing this out of selfishness, but according to some parenting school of thought from a book she was into.
babychickens says:
There's a theory that the reason babies often sleep well during the day is that in evolutionary terms their parents have to hunt/gather so are too busy to attend to babies, but that babies don't sleep as well at ngiht because their parents are present to give them the attention they need, and that as part of this need for attention they're loud so their parents have to comfort them to keep them safe and not attract danger. Dunno where I read that. May just have been random speculation on a chat forum rather than anything as formal as a theory.
DJKM adds:
Just a personal impression - I seem to find other people's screaming babies much less annoying now that I have children (no longer babies, but they did scream at the time) of my own.
Have I become more consciously tolerant - my primary sympathies lie now with the baby's parents, whose predicament I appreciate as being worse than my own as relatively disinterested audience - or has my subconsious reactive mechanism been altered by my experience as a parent?
bassmonkey1980 writes:
I am childless and find the screaming baby noise almost unbearable. I have no instinctive desire to help it - I have a desire to either get as far away as possible or, if severly hungover, throw it in a woodchipper.
I expect this comment to be deleted forthwith.
colofsco thinks:
I am a father of a nine month old baby girl, to be honest i have not read the article but, all i can write is the reason why i or my wife gets up is because we bloody well have to or else she will continue to cry. Being a new father I tried my own experiment, my hypothesis was if i let my daughter cry eventually she will stop crying, there was one big confounding variable, my daughter. After that disastrous experiment i swear I could hear the ringing in my ears even when I was in the office.
Snotfairy adds:
I don't know where the get the idea the crying infants are impossible to ignore, I've been in cafe's, pubs and on busses where chattering women have managed it quite successfully, much to the annoyance of everybody else.
When I hear crying kids, or see their older brothers and sisters behaving like little monsters in public places, I don't want to slap the kids, I feel like slapping the parents. If you had to sit an exam before having children, the world would be a lot less populated, and a lot more peaceful.
Great storm
With weather forecasters acknowledging the 25th anniversary of a Great Storm in the south of England (and attempting to avoid repeating the mistake of failing to predict it), guardian readers shares their recollections from that dramatic night.
PatrickNeylan writes:
Outside Basingstoke the electricity was off for a week. The jukebox and the fruit machines were silent in the candle-lit pub, and anyone who wanted beer had to drink bitter because the lager relied on electric pumps. Blissful, in its way.
A Turkish lorry driver who'd slept in his cab outside our warehouse bounded in the next morning none the worse for wear. Maybe those winds are normal on the Anatolian plateau.
I forgive Fish. I didn't see his forecast, just the 5-day forecast the BBC showed on the Sunday before, and that showed a hurricane all right.
DrCL adds:
I can remember the tremendous roaring of the wind, me, Mum, Dad and my sister huddled on the living room floor, flickering candles, what sounded like canon going off in the garden (it was the tops of oak trees in the adjacent forest being twisted off), a brief lull at ~1am followed by an immense jarring gust that shook the walls (4ft thick mind you) and tore half the roof off.
I can also remember the morning - it took 1 hr to travel 500m down the road as there was a tree every 20-50ft. I can also remember a deep sense of disorientation and dislocation and feeling sad about the trees.
CliveTring recalls:
I was living one block back from the sea in Brighton. As I recall, in the days and nights in the run-up had been windy enough, but the sound of breaking glass was new. You try to rationalise: I told myself it was milk bottles (then still common), but it was windows being blown in. This happened to a neighbour, who was outside, in what I now realise was probably a state of shock.
Even so, I tried to get to work in Shoreham - mad! The two-storey up-and-over garage door at the back of the Metropole Hotel had blown off and bits of it were scything around in the wind, which had barely dropped at this point - this have been not long after seven in the morning. My lift didn't turn up so I cadged a ride from one of the few passing cars on the main seafront road. Oh, the strength of the work ethic! We swerved around bits of beach hut, blown all the way across Hove lawns, and saw a car with its side door ripped off by the wind.
Edwards High Vacuum sent us all home in the afternoon anyway. With friends, I surveyed the devastation in the Old Steine and drank beer in the Hungry Years - one of the few bars able to open on what must have been one of the quietest Friday nights in the history of Brighton.
Jeniche adds:
My brother slept through it. Got up following morning. Walked to work. Waited for someone to unlock. Gave up. Walked home. Started to notice how deserted and wrecked everywhere was. Bless him.
My mother woke up and went back to sleep. She'd lived through the blitz and her father was a fireman so I guess she'd had worse things to worry about in her life.
Me, I went and sat with the cats who had chosen the strongest part of the house to cower. We lost a garden wall and had several lightning strikes in the back garden and I remember, before I headed for safety, looking across at an electricity sub-station that was going off like a firework display. Worst storm I've sat through. The real shock afterwards was travelling to favourite haunts in Sussex and seeing so many trees down. Thousands upon thousands of them. Changed the landscape forever.
pintooo adds:
In general, we don't get extreme weather in the UK. I imagine that's why some commentators here are being so sniffy about a bit of wind. However, it was a significant windstorm, and not just because the forecasters got it wrong. Even if they'd got it right, the losses would have been significant.
I remember the day - I was a 4th year senior, doing a work placement at a GP's surgery in West London. There was so much damage everywhere and people were scared to be out. THe roads were empty, except for debris and stationary cars. I remember a news report from the day that 3 or 4 of the oaks in Sevenoaks had been blown over. These things don't happen in isolation - they damage stuff, they hurt people.
Thank you for all your comments and contributions this week.

Look beyond the appearance of the 2010 Honda Fit, which admittedly won't quicken pulses. Honda nails the rest with the peppy, spacious, and frugal Fit.
To put together a comprehensive full review covering the 2010 Honda Fit, TheCarConnection.com's experts looked at what's been said by a number of other critical voices. The editors of TheCarConnection.com also assembled an overall description of the Fit, along with driving impressions and comparisons to rival models, in this Bottom Line.
The Honda Fit remains Honda's most affordable model in the U.S. market. The Fit, which comes as only a five-door hatchback, was completely redesigned last year but remained about the same size. Although the 2010 Honda Fit is the smallest model in Honda's lineup, it's about the same length and width as the Honda Civic when it was last offered in the United States as a three-door hatchback (the 2000 model year). However, the five-door Fit is significantly roomier inside due to its tall, upright body style.
To those who value style, the tall proportions arguably make it look like a scaled-down minivan in some respects, but also gives it an extremely roomy interior. What the Fit doesn't have in silhouette it makes up for partly in the finer points; with last year's redesign the Fit got a more aerodynamic, better-detailed look, with small side windows just ahead of the front doors to aid visibility, and a pair of character lines that run from the snout through the grille and hood. Inside, the rakish windshield leave a vast expanse of dashboard ahead of the driver, lending an airier feel than some other small cars. The swoopy, two-tiered instrument panel employs textured and matte-metallic plastic surfaces, along with upholstery and trim that are simple but sturdy. Overall, it's easy to conclude that the Fit has a higher-quality interior than some of its rivals.
Space-efficient interior design is one of the Fit's strengths; Honda actually allowed enough headroom and legroom for two adults—or three kids—in back, and the so-called Magic Seat folds flat by lifting a single lever and pushing the seatback forward, with no need to remove rear headrests in the process. The driving position affords a good view outward, and the steering wheel telescopes on all models. The cargo floor is especially low for easy loading, amassing an impressive 20.6 cubic feet of EPA cargo room. In addition, there are two glove compartments (upper and lower), plenty of cup holders, and many useful storage compartments and cubbies in the center console, dash, and doors.
The 1.5-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine in the 2010 Honda Fit makes 117 horsepower, but that's plenty to move the Fit quite quickly with the manual transmission and adequately with the automatic. Fit Sports with the automatic get paddle shifters alongside the steering wheel to aid control on curvy roads, and fuel economy ratings are as high as 29 mpg city, 35 highway.
Overall, Honda just gets it, achieving a very responsive, tossable feel that makes the Fit seem almost sports-car nimble yet also quiet and refined enough for an interstate trip. Parking and maneuverability are strengths, and despite the tall body and rather light weight, the Fit cruises confidently and relatively quietly at 80 mph.
The 2010 Honda Fit is one of the best small cars for occupant protection, achieving five stars for front occupants in both frontal and side-impact tests from the federal government (four stars for side-impact and backseat passengers), and top good ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) across the board. It was the only "minicar," as the IIHS designates it, to be named a 2009 Top Safety Pick from the group. Although side airbags and side-curtain bags are standard, along with anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control is optional—oddly, it's only offered with the navigation system.
Two main models are offered: Fit and Fit Sport. Air conditioning; power windows, locks, and mirrors; and an MP3-compatible CD sound system are included with the base Fit. The Fit Sport gets larger 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, keyless entry, a security system, and USB connectivity for the sound system, along with sporty cues throughout. Offered only on Fit Sport models is a package adding the navigation system and electronic stability control.

Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I could never see that happening. The dude only wants to win.
On the one breakaway, fricking Wade chucked him in the back while he was jumping to shoot his layup.
Should have been a flagrant.
I hate Wade WAAAYYYY more than LeBron.
If everything pans out in this season and we improve upon our last playoff appearance (meaning that we reach the ECF) then we will have a real title shot in the next season. That's before PG expires.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
With that said, if they decide they have to keep Danny long-term and let go of West to make things more financially feasible they might try signing him to a big 1 year contract and keeping this team together for 1 more run next year before we resign Danny/George. That would also put pressure on Danny (not that he needs it) to continue working because we could alway choose West over him. I'm spitballing here, but I think my real point is I want to see this team intact as long as possible.
I'm sure that some of those close ones would have been called on a no-name player, but that shouldn't take away from an absolutely incredible streak of amazing defense.
Also, one thing that Lebron does better than anyone I've ever seen: he knows when he has no chance to make a play. You don't see Lebron get "posterized" because he knows when he doesn't have the ability to make a play. If Lebron can't get to the ball, he isn't going to go for it. On all of his fouls, he makes a play on the ball. Most players would still try when they had no chance to make a play on the ball and end up fouling. Lebron doesn't ever give up silly fouls like that. Wade, on the other hand, tends to get a lot of fouls where he has no chance to make a play, fouls without making a play on the ball, and gives up a lot of "and ones."
@WallaceNBA_ESPN: Bosh: "If I'm lacking on my job, not a good rebounder, not what the team needs, then maybe I need to sit & learn more."

County turns to private sector to store documents
Storage -- at least of old paper documents -- has turned out to be less of a problem than expected for St. Croix County departments, reported administrators last Thursday.
After years of looking at ways and places to store stacks of older documents for the district attorney, sheriff, clerk of courts and finance departments, administrators found the county can warehouse the needed paper documents at a private facility for about $600 a year.
Because it costs so little to keep documents at a company that specializes in secure storage, it isn't sensible for the county to build storage space, summarized Finance Committee member Daryl Standafer.
Dana Baker, the county's purchasing agent, said departments first estimated they had 445 boxes of documents that could go to off-site storage. But after sorting through papers and shredding obsolete documents, only 267 boxes were taken to Business Data Record Services. Baker said 178 boxes of papers were shredded.
Also, said Baker, departments estimated they would have 25 to 30 more boxes to send to off-site storage each month, but so far there have been none.
That doesn't mean the county's storage problems are solved. The Sheriff's Department is still asking for a building, and some digital imaging work isn't done.
The original charge to a temporary committee was to look at digital imaging and hard copy storage.
Committee members decided that the scanning process to make some departments' documents accessible online varies so much from department to department that it should be handled case by case. That task was turned over to the Information Technology Department.
Baker, who was hired two years ago, used a PowerPoint presentation to give a detailed timeline of the storage study since late 2004.
She said the committee was looking for a one-stop vendor for both imaging and paper-document storage, but dropped that idea after delays in getting reference information about the only company that could do both tasks.
The committee then checked out hard-document storage companies. Committee members were most impressed with the Business Data Record Services facility in New Brighton, Minn., said Baker.
She said the original budget for digital imaging, which was seen as a way of condensing documents, was $25,000. Of that amount $8,827 has been spent. About $7,200 was for overtime or temporary workers to index boxes of documents.
Baker said so far the county has paid $591 for storage and $193 for document delivery to and from BDRS.
The retrieval process is convenient and inexpensive, said Finance Director Michelle Pietrick. She said when she needed stored documents for an audit, she listed the papers she needed, BDRS workers pulled them and the delivery was coordinated with another pick-up.
BDRS uses its own vehicles to pick up and deliver documents and charges $35 a run.
The Sheriff's Department and Public Protection Committee have been asking for a storage building for five years, and that problem still isn't solved, said Public Protection Chairwoman Julie Speer.
Committee member Chuck Mehls said the department still needs secure storage for evidence and a place to store the communications van, emergency generators, the patrol boat, impounded vehicles and maintenance vehicles.
"It just gets brushed over and pushed back," said Speer of the storage problem. The maintenance, emergency communications and sheriff's departments have included this in their long-range capital needs plan for years and the problem hasn't gone away, she said.
Finance Committee member Tom Caflisch said a building project should be looked at during the annual budget process.

Are you worm or woman? New Scientist, 15 May 1999, p26 reports that molecular biologists have recently increased the percentage similarity between chimpanzee and human genes from 97% to 98.5%. According to New Scientist: "The immediate question raised by the finding was what was the significance of that 1.5 per cent? Did it mean that chimps were nearly human? Not really. Nearly 75 percent of human genes have some counterpart in nematodes - millimetre-long soil-dwelling worms - but that doesn't mean that a worm is three quarter of the way to being a person."
Editorial Comment: What is the significance? Though 75% of human genes can be found in some worms, even the most hard-nosed evolutionist would not consider worms were three-quarters human. Therefore, having 98.5% human genes still makes a chimp a chump!
