text: ĀManaging EditorLake WallenpaupackÆs environmental watchers were beaming at their last meeting. Was it over the lakeÆs current state? Plans and progress of efforts to keep it clean? Actually it was over a motorcycle ride. It wasnÆt just any bike event. This was one that circled the entire lake and brought in over $4,600 to help ensure good lake water quality for the future.?Something new for the 33-year old Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed Management District (LWWMD), the nonprofit partnership has ventured into the world of creative fund-raising. In a day and age of lean or lack of federal and state financial grants, LWWMD seeks ways to help property owners around the afford projects to keep pollution and extreme nutrient levels from invading Wallenpaupack.?Administrator Nick Spinelli reported at the Sept.19th board meeting that the bike ride they held during Wally Lake Fest, raised $4,671.35. This is over and above expenses of $1,687.21. The first time they ever tried it, they worked feverishly to raise sponsorships and spread the word to alert bikers about the ride. On the morning of the event on Aug. 25, however, they had only 14 registrations.?Brian Schan, LWWMD board member who raised the idea for the event, said the bikers started poring in the Wallenpaupack Area High School parking lot. They ended up with 50 motorcycles and 64 riders. As expected, many are believed to have waited to know how the weather would be.?Schan and the committee were thanked for their committed effort to make the ride happen. Schan stated that they learned from the first event, and look forward to making this an annual ride, a signature event for the Watershed District.?They also had a raffle for two kayaks. This raised $1,672.63, over expenses of $1,447.37. While not bringing what they had expected, the raffle was still hailed as a success. Spinelli said they would look to see what more suitable prize could be offered next year.?In a spirit of good fun, LWWMD also had a float in the Wally Lake Fest boat parade. They netted sixth place for their highly decorated lake monitoring boat.Also discussed:Ģ Two of the five 2012 Cost Share Program applicants already have their projects completed. These are Woodland Hills development, which received $3,500, and Killam Park Association, which received $4,462.50. Both were for projects, to direct stormwater away from entering the lake. The Cost Share Program is a 50/50 match grant, with the applicant paying half (or providing in-kind labor or materials), and the rest coming from an annual PPL budget allocation received by LWWMD.?Ģ Palmyra Township (Pike) is exploring ways to institute a sewer system for the commercial district along Route 6. One method being looked at is ōRenewage,ö which uses a submerged wastewater treatment cell, replicating a natural wetland. The merits of the system was discussed around the District table. Pike County Commissioner Rich Caridi, who is on the LWWMD board, questioned if there is sufficient land mass to accommodate the system.?Ģ Spinelli recently met with the Lake Henry Cottagers Association. The group would like to have Facebook page of lake managers within the Wallenpaupack watershed. Spinelli is seeing how the LWWMD can assist in the proposed partnering of local lake managers.For more information on the LWWMD, call (570)226-3865 or visit online at www.wallenpaupackwatershed.org.Ā

MIAMI, Fla. – The No. 25 ranked Florida State women's tennis team moved to 7-1 on the year after it defeated Florida International, 4-1 in Miami this afternoon.
"The girls did a great job of taking care of business this afternoon," head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "They needed to be efficient today and they were."
The Seminoles clinched the doubles point after sophomore Daneika Borthwick and junior Kerrie Cartwright defeated Rita Maisak and Alexandra Trifunovic on court one by a score of 8-5.
Senior Amy Sargeant and Mia Vriens dominated their match on court three, defeating Magali Holt and Lotte Gras, 8-1.
Senior Francesca Segarelli and Kristina Schleich's match on court two was halted after the Seminoles took the 1-0 lead. Segarelli and Schleich were ahead 6-4.
FSU defaulted court six, giving the Panthers a point, thus tying the score, 1-1.
Cartwright moved to 4-0 in singles on the year after controlling her match on court four. She defeated Giulietta Boha putting the Seminoles up 2-1.
On court three, Sargeant beat Trifunovic 6-4, 6-2 before No. 91 ranked Segarelli clinched the match for the Seminoles. She beat Maisak on court two, 6-4, 6-3.
Both Schleich and No. 35 ranked Borthwick contributed first set wins before their matches were stopped once the Seminoles won the match.
Schleich was up 7-5, 2-0 on court five, while Borthwick was tied on court one in the second set after winning the first 6-4, 1-1.
With their wins today, Segarelli and Sargeant extended their singles streaks to 10-0. Those marks will be put to the test tomorrow as the Seminoles face No. 11 Miami on Saturday at 11 a.m.
"Now we are preparing and fully focused on our first ACC match tomorrow," Hyde said. "This is a great opportunity for the team to step up and show how thick our guts are. It's going to be a great battle test and we can't wait."

By Cathy Huyghe
It's difficult in early April in Boston not to notice the weather. Or the sun. Or the warmth. Or, by extension, all the attention that's paid to nature, the environment and sustainability — especially as the 40th anniversary of Earth Day draws near.
Which got me to thinking, what's the ecological footprint of a wine drinker?
With so much talk these days about reducing carbon footprints, I've started a list of the wine industry's carbon-related risks and opportunities. Here are a few, along with some thoughts on what they may mean for you.
* Consider the distance a bottle of wine travels from the winery to your doorstep. In many wineries, you'll notice palettes of empty glass bottles wrapped in plastic and stamped with the Saint-Gobain label; those bottles will be filled with the next vintage. Saint-Gobain is a manufacturer of much of the flat glass used to make wine bottles around the world. But they're based in France and, given the less favorable conversion rate of dollar to Euro right now, glass from Saint-Gobain is becoming prohibitively expensive. So wineries are investigating cheaper options, such as importing glass from China — which means the bottles will have to travel even farther to get to your door.
* Cork recycling is a growing practice throughout the US. Yemm & Hart Green Materials in Marquand, MO, for example collects corks and recycles them into other products including wine cork tiles. An organization called Korks 4 Kids, a division of Recycle Corks USA based in York, PA, collects corks and donates the proceeds to children's charities. For a different twist on reusing your corks, Chuck Draghi, of Erbaluce and formerly of No. 9 Park in Boston, suggested adding corks to an oven (that's less than 500 degrees) to give a woodsy aroma to roast chicken.
* Consider whether the vineyards were farmed organically. Were they processed at an organic facility? Investigate wine lists, and ask sommeliers and shop owners for their recommendations of organic wine. Many wine shops set aside a section for "green" wines, and more and more restaurants feature lists of biodynamic and sustainably-farmed wines.
* According to an article in the Quarterly Review of Wines, Spring 2008, Bonny Doon winery will start printing the full list of their wines' ingredients on labels. Starting with the 2007 whites and 2006 reds, QRW wrote, the Santa Cruz producer's wines will sport new back-labels detailing growing stratagems (e.g. biodynamic), added preservatives (e.g. sulfur dioxide), yeast types (e.g. indigenous or organic) and fining agents (e.g. Bentonite).
As awareness of organic farming has grown, so has the quality of those grapes. As technology for organic processing methods has advanced, so has the taste of the wine. That's good news for wine drinkers and, more and more, for the environment as well.

Clarkson University's Walker Center Renovation Dedicated
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/walkerdedication.jpg .]
New York State Senator Darrel J. Aubertine joined Clarkson University President Tony Collins, Clarkson Athletic Hall of Fame alumni and local high school athletes for the dedication of the $1-milllion state appropriation-funded major renovation of Walker Center today.
Walker Center, the storied former NCAA Division I hockey arena, has been reborn as a multi-use athletic practice facility with a synthetic playing surface for soccer, lacrosse, and other field sports.
"This really is a magnificent facility," said Aubertine. "To have had a small role in this is an honor for me. This really is a community effort. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the job you have done."
"We'd like to thank Senator Darrel Aubertine," said Collins. "The renovation of this facility would not have been possible without his support. This is not just a facility for Clarkson University, but it is a community facility. The high school and middle school athletic complexes have been undergoing renovation this past year and we were able to step forward and share this facility with them. That will continue as we provide access to area school athletes.
"We're not just renovating Walker Arena, but we're creating a world-class athletic complex for soccer and lacrosse inside, and a turf field outside. This is the beginning of a riverfront athletic and recreational complex that will truly be second to none in the country, and highlight and celebrate our environment."
Aubertine and Collins toured the facility to see the new field turf, renovated locker rooms, new roofing and heating systems, and other improvements.
The Clarkson hockey arena officially became known as the Murray G. Walker Hockey Arena in 1975. Known affectionately as the "father of Clarkson hockey," Murray Walker had teamed with Gordon Croskery, an instructor in mechanical engineering, in 1921, to organize a Clarkson hockey team. He scheduled the games every year until the sport became a recognized part of the athletic program in 1935. Built in 1938, the arena replaced the outdoor ice rink in Ives Park. Artificial ice was installed in 1952. The building was renovated further in 1971, when additional seating and heating were installed.
Clarkson University crosses the boundaries of disciplines, nations and cultures in order for discovery, engineering innovation and enterprise to come together. As a result, faculty and graduates grasp the full impact of their calling, direct their research to the world's pressing issues and lead with confidence and distinction. One in seven alumni is already a CEO or other senior executive. Located in Potsdam, N.Y., just outside the six-million-acre Adirondack Park, Clarkson is home to 3, 000 students preparing for rewarding careers through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, science, and health sciences, as well as unparalleled outdoor recreation and life experiences beyond the classroom.

Jennifer's Body (UK - BD RB)
Our Marcus tries to concentrate on the movie as he watches Megan Fox in HD
Needy (Amanda Seyfried) and Jennifer (Megan Fox) are best friends. Well, sort of best friends. Jennifer's sort of a bitch and Needy is just dowdy enough to make Jennifer look even better than she does already, so they work well together.
After the two friends survive a devastating bar fire, Jennifer hitches a ride with upcoming indie band Low Shoulder and leaves Needy to fend for herself. Later that evening, Jennifer arrives at Needy's house, covered in blood and puking up lots of black spiky stuff. Something has changed with Jennifer and to make matter worse many of the local boys are turning up dead. Is there a connection? You bet your ass there is!
Jennifer's Body's more than underwhelming run at the box office really surprised me. For starters, the movie has one of, if not the most media covered/hot actresses on the planet strutting her stuff front and centre and even more so the movie has a whole lot more to offer than a whole lot of the dross forgettable teen horrors that Hollywood serves us up on a regular basis.
Diablo Cody's screenplay balances genuinely well handed comic book demonic horror, laughs and drama with ease, and even though I can understand a section of the audience rolling their eyes at her funky dialogue, I personally find it quite refreshing that a screenwriter is allowed to have a voice all of their own and who isn't afraid to aim their own slang at the world. It worked for me in Juno and it works for me here.
So what of the cast? I think the two leads bounce off of each other very well. Seyfried has a whole lot going beyond being just the plain little best friend. Cody plays with the spiritual side of Needy and Jennifer's relationship well and scenes where you see Jennifer through Needy's eyes can add a whole lot of weight to the situation, especially all of the stuff revolving around Jennifer's admiration of Adam Brody's devil worshipping band, Low Shoulder. I'll admit that a lot of the mental home stuff doesn't work quite so well, as it's a bit too 'I'm all dark now – rarrrrr', but she carries almost all of the emotional weight of the movie on her shoulders effortlessly.
And then there's Megan Fox. You're not really going to get a bad word against her from the Marcus camp. I thought she was great in Transformers and I honestly think she's brilliant in this flick as well. I know, it's very easy to say she's just playing her own media persona as the hot girl that's seen as a bitch, but that sweeping generalisation is pretty unfair. Yes she's playing that element very well, but there's so much more going on here than that. There's a real character here with a twisted sense of humour and her own selfish desires but Megan Fox is going at this role with one hundred percent commitment. Her dialogue is sold as all her own and it never feels forced, the small mannerisms she has whether it be in awe of the band or snide responses to the people around her are subtle and genuine and when the band sacrifice her (to be 'awesome like that guy in Maroon 5') there's a performance there that isn't just the usual girl screaming to get away. Also besides all of that, the sheer amount of fun she's having with the demonic side of her character just makes for a great villain, with a wicked smile and one I enjoyed watching doing her thing.
I'm in total agreement with Gabe on this one, when he said 'Kusama shoots Jennifer's Body to look a little rough around the edges, so this 1080p transfer isn't picture perfect, but there's a gorgeous garish quality to the whole film that would likely be lost in standard definition'. The image is pretty damn great and its level of detail can sometimes be astounding.
Little unintentional details like seeing the marks left by clothing elastic against character's skin after they take clothes off, or the redness of a frown line on Seyfried's forehead after she's been showing concern over Jennifer's actions or how the fabrics of clothes feel almost touchable on the screen all show off just how detailed this transfer is.
Also showing off the HD transfer is the the colours. The bold pinks and yellows of Jennifer's wardrobe pop in HD and in exterior daylight shots make everything look rich and warm and really impressive. Even the darker scenes, of which there are many, are well lit and still shine in HD, and with the majority of the movie using a dark back drop in brightly lit interior scenes, the entire thing looks pretty incredible in 1080p even with the high level filmic grain preventing it from being the cleanest of transfers.
(P.S. On a side note to any non-Megan Fox fans, I ran my thoughts on the transfer via my wife and she concurred. So I wasn't just seeing the movie through rose tinted Megan Fox loving glasses—okay, maybe a little bit).
I found the DTS-HD 5.1 track to be a pretty great one, with a whole lot of power when called for (mainly to make you jump or celebrate the metal on the soundtrack) and pulling off the quiet moments with just as much thought.
I wouldn't say there were a whole lot going on beyond all that and the dialogue but as this is a horror and its bread and butter is shocking you with sound, its hardly a surprise there hasn't been too much put into the soundscape because it wants to shock the shit out of you when it arrives.
The musical scenes with Low Shoulder sound pretty great in the track, with a wide feeling sound to the mix, and the handful of Jennifer's demonic screeching stretched out across speakers nicely, using the bass to sell the garish things she's doing to the boys.
As with (500) Days of Summer last month, Fox dicks us again, giving us less features than the U.S. release. This time we lose out on the two commentaries, the video diaries, the awesome Megan Fox PSA and all of the featurettes, leaving us with just the six deleted scenes (13:55 HD) a Gag Reel (04:55 SD) and both the theatrical and extended versions of the film itself.
The second disc is just a digital copy.
All in all this is a bit of a travesty, but with region coding stopping the majority of us from having any other options we're sort of stuck. Please stop doing this Fox.
As a side note, and not really a special feature, but the cover comes with an embossed effect on Megan's body. It's actually pretty good and no where near as naff as I thought it would be.
I'm not saying that Jennifer's Body was one of my favourite films of last year, but it's certainly towards the top end as opposed to the middle. I found it to be a refreshing entry in the teen horror genre that had a whole lot more to offer than the usual garbage we get served up and it's certainly a movie I can see myself throwing on for a fun re-watch, much in tune with movies like Tremors or the Child's Play sequels.
Also I want to see director Karyn Kusama take a shot at a comic book movie. Her sensibilities seem pretty spot on, so maybe she'll get a shot at the rumoured Megan Fox fronted Hack/Slash adaptation.
The less said about how much we got screwed on the features the better, but the disc looks and sounds great and made for another great viewing of a fun and thoroughly enjoyable horror romp.

As I get older, I'm beginning to think my body has been wired backward. Either that, or it's true what they say about the advancing years becoming a second childhood.
How else can I explain the onset of some health-related maintenance needs that should have manifested themselves when I was a lot younger?
First, my body waited until adulthood before telling me that I "needed" the mumps. I guess it was Mother Nature's way of having a good laugh at my expense. Kids look cute with chipmunk cheeks; adults — not so much.

Fisker prevails in Tesla tech theft claim fight
CEO didn't steal electric car firm's technology, arbitrator rules
'Leccy Tech It may lack the romance of Jarndyce vs Jarndyce, but it seems that first blood in the nasty little California 'leccy car legal spat has gone to Fisker.
Back in April, Tesla sued Fisker CEO Henrik Fisker alleging he had nicked Tesla technology and incorporated it into the forthcoming $80,000 Fisker Karma four-door hybrid über-saloon.
Henrik Fisker and the Fisker Karma
Fisker may well have been in a position to do so as he did some early design and interior work on the Tesla S, the four-door saloon car that may or may not look like this and may or may not hit the tarmac in 2010 or 11.
Both sides agreed to go to arbitration, and yesterday said the mediator had found that Fisker had done nothing wrong, saying that the evidence that Fisker was innocent was "overwhelming". Tesla's assertion of violations of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act by Fisker were "baseless and neither brought nor pursued in good faith".
Tesla naturally doesn't see things that way. Marketing chief Darryl Siry was quoted as saying: "We disagree with the ruling, and we're focused on producing and shipping cars to our customers."
It would be churlish to suggest that Tesla's annoyance is down to the fact that Fisker is saying it will have the Karma on the roads in a year's time, a good six, and possibly 12 months ahead of the Tesla S. Back in September, Fisker successfully raised $65m in further funding.
Fisker has taken a slightly different technical route to Tesla, the Karma not being a pure-breed plug-ino electric. Instead, Fisker uses what it calls the Q-Drive, a system whereby a "small" - but still good for 250bhp - four-cylinder petrol engine turns a generator which is used to charge a lithium-ion battery pack that then drives the wheels.
Q-Drive is the brainchild of Quantum Technologies, the company behind the drivetrain of the Chevrolet Volt.
'Stealth' mode included
The Karma will have two driving modes: Stealth, in which the car is powered by the battery charge, and Sport, which uses "the full power of the vehicle" - presumably battery power and juice direct from the generator that's then being driven by the petrol engine. Fisker is on record as saying that when going full chat, the Karma sounds like a "combination of a jet fighter and an F1 car". That we want to hear.
Fisker also claims a full charge is good for 50 miles of battery powered motoring, and as its research suggests that 60 per cent of European and American commutes are shorter than that, most Karma trips should be powered by a domestic charge rather than by the four pot.
In Stealth mode, the Karma will be limited to a top speed of 95mph, but in Sport it will be good for 125 while the 0-60 time is stated as six seconds. By combining a fully charged battery and a full tank of gas, drivers should be able to get around 100mpg and a range of 620 miles.
Solar panel on board
It will also come with a solar panel roof that will help charge the battery pack and keep the cabin cool when parked under that blistering California sun.
Currently, Fisker says it has firm orders for 500 cars and expects production to hit 15,000 units a year.

Machine Quilting Block Party Details
On the first day of each month in 2017, a new block pattern will become available in our quilt shop. Simply purchase the pattern, download it, and get your fabric ready to go!
A video on how to piece the block will be posted on the first Monday of the month. A video on how to machine quilt the block will be posted on the second Monday of the month. We've also shared a Quilting Basics series of video to help you get started with this project. Find all the videos and articles linked together right here.
This is a mystery quilt project so you won't see the final design until the very last block in December 2017! The name of the quilt is Flower Festival so each block is going to feature flowers and just to stitch things up a notch we're also including free motion feathers in each block as well!
This year we have two different versions of the quilt for you to create. The basic Flower Festival quilt can be created with 12 block patterns and will measure 43 x 58 inches when finished.
In 2016, many quilters expressed the desire add sashing and cornerstones or a border to make the quilt larger. For 2017 we've created a version of the quilt can be created with our extra, optional Sashing and Cornerstones Pattern. This will expand your quilt to measure 66 x 86 inches.
Share your photos and ask questions on Facebook!
To make this quilt along even more fun and interactive, please join our Machine Quilting Block Party Facebook Group. This group is designed for quilters following along with this project to share questions, comments, and pictures of their blocks in a fun, supportive place. Make friends with quilters around the world, but keep your posts on topic about the block party only.
Note: This Facebook group will change each year to follow Leah's current block of the month project, but all the posts will remain so you can search for questions about Flower Festival even if it's after December 2017.
You can also share the Machine Quilting Block Party on your blog or website! Copy the code in the white box and paste it into an HTML box to add a button to your blog or website:
Instructions: Select all code above, copy it and paste it inside your blog post as HTML
But what about the 2016 Machine Quilting Block Party?
The Machine Quilting Block Party is now in it's second year. In 2016 we created this beautiful Sunshine Surprise quilt. Hundreds of quilters joined in the fun and built amazing new skills for piecing and machine quilting.
Patterns for Sunshine Surprise are still available right here.
Because this past quilt along is finished you're welcome to begin at any time and work at your own pace. Follow along with the videos and articles below to create your Sunshine Surprise quilt:
Let's go quilt!

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." ― Paul Krugman

STOCKTON - As one of the largely overlooked consequences of health care reform, San Joaquin County is moving quickly to select the site for a new call center - and that's just the first step.
STOCKTON - As one of the largely overlooked consequences of health care reform, San Joaquin County is moving quickly to select the site for a new call center - and that's just the first step.
The county also must outfit the center with computers and phones for an estimated 42 workers, hire and train those workers in a new undertaking providing tens of thousands of residents with health insurance - and have it all ready to go for an unknown onslaught of calls beginning Oct. 1.
The Human Services Agency that will operate what Director Joe Chelli prefers to call a customer service center is already getting a taste of what's to come.
Since Jan. 1, when the state halted new enrollments into the children's Healthy Families insurance program, the county has been receiving an average of 900 new applications each month for Medi-Cal, where about 20,000 children in the county are being transferred. Chelli said it likely will take until July 2014 to transition all of those children into Medi-Cal.
Funding for the call center is another question. It is to come directly from Medi-Cal - at no expense to the county - but has yet to be determined. Chelli told the Board of Supervisors in a presentation Tuesday that he and other county welfare directors around California don't expect to know what the funding is until they see it included in Gov. Jerry Brown's May revise of the state budget for 2013-14.
"I would think you need to sign that lease immediately," Supervisor Larry Ruhstaller suggested to Chelli during the discussion. "When they say 'go live' on Oct. 1, it's more than aggressive, it's almost impossible."
Chelli responded: "Supervisor Ruhstaller couched it as next to impossible. It is very challenging. Setting it up is going to take everything coming together in a timely manner. It is a very daunting task."
For that very reason, an association of 39 counties working together has asked the state to push the implementation date to Dec. 1, but that appears unlikely.
Each county's call center is in addition to the three large ones being established by Covered California in time for Oct. 1, when 5.3 million state residents can begin enrolling in expanded Medi-Cal and private, affordable insurance offered through the state exchange.
About 35,000 county residents will be eligible for expanded Medi-Cal and an additional 53,000 will be eligible for private insurance through the exchange. Of those, Chelli said perhaps about 60 percent, or 31,200 individuals, would apply through the county call center.
Adult enrollment through age 64 for expanded Medi-Cal is for those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level ($15,856 for an individual, $32,499 for a family of four). For those making 138 percent to 400 percent of the federal poverty level ($45,960 for an individual, $94,200 for a family of four), private health insurance will be made available through the state's Covered California marketplace with an immediate tax credit to make it more affordable.
The state is requiring the county call center to be open initially from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. When a Covered California center receives a call from a San Joaquin County resident that it determines is eligible for Medi-Cal, it will transfer that call to the county call center and expect a live eligibility worker to take over that call within 30 seconds.
And while Chelli said it takes a seasoned eligibility worker an average of 70 minutes to complete the 21-page Medi-Cal application, the state expects county call center workers to spend an average of 25 minutes per call. It takes 16 weeks to train an eligibility worker, Chelli said, and the Oct. 1 implementation date is just 22 weeks away.
During 2014 - the first full year for all these changes - the county Human Services Agency estimates it will process anywhere from 29,000 to 77,000 new applications for Medi-Cal and private health insurance through the exchange. That will result in a projected caseload expansion of between 42,000 and 65,000 cases to maintain.
By 2018, the county is projecting it will have a Medi-Cal caseload of roughly 171,700 individuals.
