""Not everything can fly. We will not install a swimming pool or a fireplace. That is not possible.""
Cabin Comforts
A year ago–or three or five, for that matter–it seemed as if private aircraft already offered just about every imaginable onboard luxury. Nevertheless, designers keep stretching their imaginations and, year after year, they deliver new products that can make your flights even more enjoyable than before. Here's a look at some of the innovations that have caught our eye in the last 12 months.
Bright Ideas about Blocking Light
Electronically dimmable cabin windows aren't new. But the iShade iQ from InspecTech Aero Service of Fort Lauderdale takes the technology a step further. It not only allows you to precisely regulate the amount of light entering your cabin–it also employs noise-damping techniques to make the cabin quieter.
In Brignais, France, Vision Systems Aeronautics also has something new in cabin windows: the Dual Comfort Shade, which incorporates two electrical shades in a single system. The first roller shade blocks ultraviolet light and the second blocks all light. The system offers an anti-jamming device and has a manual unlocking feature in case of emergency. The shades, which can be remotely controlled at your seat or from the galley, are available in a variety of fabrics and colors.
From Lou Martin & Associates, meanwhile, comes a pleated shade designed for large areas such as cabin bulkheads and room dividers. Open, it provides a more expansive feel to a compartment. Closed, it allows 100 percent privacy. According to the San Antonio-based manufacturer, the electrically operated shade incorporates both a blackout fabric and sheer fabric. The sheer is designed to keep out ultraviolet light while the blackout choice provides complete darkness. The shades can be customized to include artwork, scenery or a company logo and come in a variety of sizes.
Shut Out the Noise
The trim panel that typically lines the cabin sidewall adds a decorative touch but also vibrates and contributes significantly to interior noise. Pelzer Consult of Zug, Switzerland, has come up with a solution: a trim panel that provides up to 80 percent greater noise absorption than other panels on the market. The company claims the new panel will reduce cabin noise by as much as 10 decibels. That's approximately the difference between the hum of the average office and the sound of a vacuum cleaner 10 feet from your ear.
Catch the Woven Leather Wave
Woven leathers, which appear to be gathering popularity, offer subtle patterns and textures to match any cabin décor. Edelman Leather of New Milford, Conn., now offers the product in four patterns and three leathers. Townsend Leather in Johnstown, N.Y., meanwhile, touts woven leather that it creates from lambskin, hand-glazes in the U.S. and weaves on antique looms in the Philippines.
Garrett Leather, a supplier of Italian upholstery-grade leather, has introduced Shagarrett, which the Buffalo, N.Y. firm describes as "the only full-grain stingray-embossed Italian leather available in full-hide sizes with no unsightly plate lines." The technique, according to Garrett, eliminates the stress of "working with and matching half-hides and dealing with unattractive plate marks." Shagarett hides also have a "dual-tone texture that accentuates the stingray pattern."
A Doctor in Your Suitcase
Traveling with a medical condition? Your flight may be less stressful if you pack Tempus IC, a six-pound "medical assistant." The product can transmit information doctors need to remotely identify up to 90 percent of medical conditions, claims the manufacturer, London-based RDT. Features include a touch-screen with video that takes the user step-by-step through every process, an "intelligent" battery-management system to conserve power, a wireless headset and an integral camera. Functions include glucometer; breath gas analysis and respiration; tympanic temperature; blood pressure and pulse oximetry; electrocardiogram; and real-time voice, video and data transmission. So your doctor will be able to give you a pretty thorough exam–even if he's 41,000 feet below and thousands of miles away.
Let There Be Light
A new LED reading-light bulb offers a direct replacement for the miniature incandescent halogen bulbs common in many business jets. "Absolutely no changes or modifications to the reading-light fixtures are necessary," according to Aircraft Lighting International, the Mount Sinai, N.Y. company that produces the LED bulbs. In addition to softer white light, advantages include lower power draw, virtually no heat generation and a five-year warranty.
The bulbs cost $35 each, which might sound expensive until you consider that it would cost about $15,000 to change out all the incandescent reading lights in a typically configured King Air and replace them with standard LEDs.
Getting Your Zs
Whether it's a 14-hour flight from New York to Beijing or a two-and-a-half-hour run from Miami to Baltimore, you can't overestimate the value of being able to sleep or nap onboard, and more and more business jet cabins are being equipped with that in mind.
Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg, Germany, now offers what it claims is a new standard in sleep comfort with its Flexidreamer mattress. It features a foam core and a recently developed fabric covering and lets users adjust the firmness to suit their preferences. It comes in a variety of standard sizes and can also be customized to virtually any desired contour.
To accompany the Flexidreamer mattress, how about a bed frame and shroud designed to compensate, manually or automatically, for changes in the angle of flight? San Antonio-based Jeff Bonner Research and Development has already delivered three of these and has several more on order. Prices start around $120,000 for the bed frames, which are available in sizes from a king down to a double.
A bed of a different sort comes from San Diego-based JetBed, whose product includes an inflatable foundation, an electric pump, a comfortable foam mattress and a carrying pouch. JetBed produces the beds to fit more than 20 aircraft models, from the Gulfstream G550 to the Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprop. Prices range from $4,995 for a Citation light jet to $6,995 for a model to fit between two-abreast facing seats. The entire package for the smallest bed weighs just 14 pounds.
Sitting Pretty
Italian cabin-components specialist Iacobucci is best known for its galley products, such as espresso makers, but the company continues to expand its product line, which now includes executive seats.
Its latest such offering features a 45-inch backrest and is 23 inches wide. The three-way headrest has a wide range of adjustments, including vertical, horizontal and tilting features as well as headrest flaps. The seat offers a fixed-track-fitting installation, 360-degree swivel, multiple-lock drop-down armrest and extendable leg rest, as well as a manually folding footrest.
"The project team developed a seat ergonomically responding to the form of the human body," said Iacobucci HF Group marketing director Riccardo Palmeri. "The mechanical swivel enhances the useful space while the light structure and smooth movements make it easy to install and maintain."
Rain on the Plane
A new shower for aircraft, which weighs just 130 pounds, can be outfitted with "rain" showerheads, flexible showerheads and multiple showerheads, and with LED lighting and motion sensors that activate and deactivate the water flow. There's also a "footrest" that can serve as a seat. (If it were officially listed as a seat, the FAA would require that it be belted for landing and takeoff. Hey, it's the government. Go figure.) Jeff Bonner Research & Development, which produced the shower, says the next generation of the product will feature outside controls to activate the system and set the water temperature.
Something New Underfoot
A recently introduced carpet from Dallas-based Kalogridis International employs what it calls "fat yarn," which provides a large "ultra-loop," resulting in a deeper, more luxurious pile of highs and lows. Incorporated into the carpet, in pretty much any design you want, are fluorescent yarns that come to life when the cabin lights are dimmed.
Also from Kalogridis is a new use for its Deconal 3-D fabric bulkhead coverings. According to designer Liching Liu, the soft-touch, noise-absorbing material is available as a one-piece, single-process application cover for a cabin's entire interior, from sidewalls to ceiling. It's about 85 to 90 percent lighter than typical coverings and can be applied to fabric and leather. It comes in more than 500 designs and can also be custom designed to fit a client's taste.
Napkins on a Roll
An improvement in something as simple as a napkin? Yep. From Hostel Drap, a company in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, comes Mydrap, a one-time-use recyclable cloth napkin.
Mydrap, which is sold in rolls, is available in sizes from 8.3 inches square to 15.7 inches square. You can order it in cotton in 13 colors and in linen in seven colors. It is more absorbent and stronger than paper and can be personalized with images and company logos.
A Sound Idea
Can't fall asleep, even with one of those fancy new mattresses we mentioned earlier? Download Pzizz, a set of 10- to 90-minute soundtracks designed not only to induce sleep, but to awaken and re-energize. The "neural-linguistic" soundtracks–which are programmable and customizable with literally billions of sound combinations, so you never hear the same thing twice–are available on CD or for download from the iTunes Store.

I haven't watched the whole show yet, but for the bit that I did, it's as if the audio goes in and out of phase. Noticed it right away - I thought, "What the hell is this?" That fits Chris's description of it, as it's the low frequencies that are affected most by channels being out of phase.
Aside from any phase issue, the sound on the DVD is surprisingly dull. This was on the "big" stereo, not just through the crummy little TV speakers.

Walden: On Timber and Presidential Election
Oregon counties might be seeing some economic relief with progress being made on allowing timber cutting in the state. Congressman Greg Walden says he's hoping a vote on allowing timber harvesting on federal land will be made this month or in early may. The plan would result in a trust on 3 million acres of federal land to allow logging and help replace the federal timber subsidies congress canceled in 2007.
On another issue, the Republican congressman told theDove news that it's time for the Republican party to unify behind a candidate for the presidential election. Walden endorsed Mitt Romney back in September and says it's important a decision on a candidate is made before the party's presidential convention when heading into the general election in November.

Egypt Valley home to 'monster' well
MORRISTOWN – Deep within the western Belmont County area known as Egypt Valley lurks a "monster" that is producing as much as 28.5 million cubic feet of Utica Shale natural gas per day.
As Gulfport Energy begins selling methane, propane, butane, pentane and oil from the Shugert 1 well in Egypt Valley, the driller's partner, MarkWest Energy, is now processing Gulfport gas from the first phase of its processing complex near Cadiz.
"Gulfport's success in the Utica Shale and the commencement of operations at our Cadiz Complex are significant accomplishments in the ongoing Utica Shale development in Eastern Ohio," said Frank Semple, chairman, president and chief executive officer of MarkWest. "Early results indicate this play is one of the most exciting new areas for natural gas and liquids production in the United States – and given our leading position in the neighboring Marcellus Shale, we are well positioned to support the producers' future development plans in the Utica."
Gulfport's Shugert well produced an average of 28.5 million cubic feet per day of natural gas, in addition to more than 2,900 barrels of liquids per day. These new numbers are slightly higher than those the company reported in October.
Global Hunter Securities – an investment bank focused on energy – is quite impressed with the results from this Belmont County well.
"The Shugert well is a monster and another positive event for Gulfport as the company continues to derisk its Utica acreage," Global Hunter analysts said in a statement regarding the well.
Companies such as Gulfport, Chesapeake Energy, Chevron and XTO Energy are known in the industry as "producers" because these companies sell the gas they pump out of the ground. Because the wet Marcellus and Utica shale gas requires processing before it can go to market, producers send their gas to companies such as Dominion Resources, Caiman Energy or MarkWest for processing and fractionation.
Many Belmont County residents who originally signed leases with Wishgard LLC or Tri-Star Energy have seen those contracts turned over to Gulfport, while Gulfport has also signed many county landowners to their own leases. Terms of the leases can range widely depending upon when they were signed and a multitude of other factors. However, some property owners have received at least as much as $5,900 per acre, with as much as 20 percent of the production royalties.
"Our results to date continue to validate our high expectations for the play and, with the commencement of operations at MarkWest's Cadiz Complex, we look forward to maximizing the play's potential," said Jim Palm, chief executive officer of Gulfport.
Gulfport is also supplying gas from Belmont and Harrison County wells to the Cadiz MarkWest complex that is now up and running. The interim refrigeration plant is the first phase of the new plant to open, with many more operations still to begin at the large facility, just off Ohio 9 south of Cadiz. Hundreds of construction workers and pipeliners are now working at the plant, while they should continue doing so until 2014.
In natural gas processing, the dry methane part of the gas stream is separated from the wet portions – ethane, butane, propane and pentane. During fractionation, the natural gas liquids and other substances are separated from each other. These separated gas products are then ready for use, with the ethane possibly going to a cracker plant somewhere in North America. MarkWest plans to send ethane from Cadiz to Gulf Coast markets for cracking there.
By the beginning of 2014, MarkWest plans to have 140 miles of gathering pipeline and gas compression to service the 50 wells Gulfport plans to have producing by then.

Most Valuable Motivator Art Smith, the chef whom Oprah still has on speed-dial, dishes on how a diabetes diagnosis changed his diet�but not his passion for food.
Claim to fame: Art Smith was Oprah Winfrey�s personal chef for 10 years, from 1997-2007, and still cooks for many of her special events. He owns four restaurants across the country, including Chicago�s Table Fifty-Two and Washington, D.C.�s Art and Soul. He appeared on the first season of Top Chef Masters, where he was a fan favorite, and returned for season four. He has also appeared on Top Chef, Iron Chef America, BBQ Pitmasters, The Dr. Oz Show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and A Very Lady Gaga Thanksgiving, and has appeared as a guest numerous times on news and morning TV programs. The chef is the author of four cookbooks: Kitchen Life, Back to the Kitchen, Back to the Family and the recently released Art Smith�s Healthy Comfort: How America�s Favorite Celebrity Chef Got It Together, Lost Weight and Reclaimed His Health. Healthy cooking philosophy: �Keep it simple.� As the chef says, �I believe in simplistic food that is authentic, with everything in its whole state. I want the people I feed to be around for a long time.� Favorite healthy meal: Turkey chili. �It�s easy and it tastes great. It�s the same recipe I�ve made for Oprah and President Obama. I love a one-pot wonder.� Favorite splurge: Pizza. �But it�s a treat and I view it as a treat.� Favorite workout:� Boxing, jogging and walking Favorite healthy snacks: Apples, bananas, almonds. �My go-to snack all the time is fruit. But the best thing to do when you feel you�re hungry is drink a glass of water.� Secret weapon: �If it�s not homemade, I don�t eat it�it�s not worth the calories.� RELATED:�20 Delicious Diabetes-Fighting Recipes Five Minutes With Art Smith In 2008, Chef Art Smith was at the top of his game�having grown from Oprah Winfrey�s personal chef to an in-demand TV personality in his own right. But in the midst of a successful career, he faced a scary diagnosis: Type 2 diabetes. At 325 pounds, he finally had to confront the fact that his weight was putting his health at risk. Now a spokesman for Merck�s Taking Diabetes to Heart campaign, Smith is speaking out about how he lost 120 pounds and has kept his diabetes under control�all without sacrificing his love of good food. Spry: How did you feel when you were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes? Art Smith: It wasn�t really a surprise because I have it in my family, and have lost family members. I understood what it could do and how this disease could affect you. When my doctor said, �You have to lose weight,� after the diagnosis, I looked at it as a challenge. He said, �Just lose 20 pounds,� and I said, �It�s my 50th birthday�let�s lose 50!� So we worked on a plan together. And by losing weight with my doctor, I�ve been able to keep it at a place that I�m not at risk. I still have to be careful and manage my diabetes. RELATED: Chatting it Up With Curtis Stone Spry: What habits were hardest to break? AS: Before, I would not sleep a lot, and when I ate, I ate very late. And I�d eat 3, 4, 5 peanut butter sandwiches at 11 or 12 at night. I was drinking diet soda by the case. And I wasn�t eating breakfast. Now I always start the day with oatmeal. If there�s one meal you can�t skip, that�s breakfast. Spry: What are the major modifications you�ve made to your diet to make it more diabetes-friendly? AS: I only use extra virgin olive oil�I don�t cook with butter. I only use butter for baking, and that�s only for special occasions. I don�t drink or use any kind of artificial sweeteners at all. I eat a tremendous amount of Greek yogurt. I just try to eat things very whole, like skinless, boneless chicken. I do eat red meat, but not a lot of it. When I go to restaurants, I try to fill up on salads. Spry: How do you recommend diners approach asking for modifications or healthier options at restaurants? AS: After I was diagnosed with diabetes, I started requesting that my restaurants be more respectful of customers� dietary needs. Then it became more of a mission statement for me, and we started incorporating it into the menus. I think it�s called conscious consuming: Don�t spend your money if they won�t do what you want. Any chef worth his salt these days is going to be focusing on health�we live in a time of reckoning. Type 2 diabetes is something that will challenge our world for quite some time. People want a choice, and they want to know what�s in their food. We have to be transparent about it. Spry: How have you maintained your weight loss? Has it been a challenge? AS: I lost 120 pounds in a 3-month period, and I have kept off over 50 percent of it. It has a lot to do with the weather. The weather in Chicago can be cold. The summer is when I lean down and get thinner. I might start spending my winters in Florida so I can look after my mother, and the winters are milder there so I could do more. But it�s a constant goal. I try to keep extremely active. We had this long train ride from NY a few days ago, and when we got off the train, everyone jumped in the car to go to the hotel, but I walked. Spry: Your cookbook also includes a lot of personal information about your weight struggles. Why did you want to share that? AS: I started cooking because I was bullied, and when you cook for people, they love you. The book has a fairly detailed story about what I went through in my career�I felt like if I lost the weight I�d lose the funny. My weight played an important part in my success. I think what I hope the reader will do is read the book and be inspired and see that they themselves can lead a healthier life. I was always taught by Oprah that the effect we have is far greater than we realize. Spry: What was it like to cook for Oprah? AS: Working with Oprah, I met every possible health specialist. She herself has come to believe that fresh is the best approach to living a healthier life. I love Miss Winfrey. What I love most about her is that even if she herself felt like she needed to watch her weight, her guests still needed to eat well. She loved fish so I�d always do different kinds of fish dishes. Spry: What�s your best advice for someone struggling with weight? AS: I know how they�re feeling. I�ve felt it, too. You have to find the happy. You have to look for the happy�whether it�s music or hanging out with friends. It�s not something that is just going to happen. It�s something that you have to purposefully work toward. � Brought to you by: Spry Living

On Making: Thom Mayne's Defiant Advice
"You can't make anything authentic by asking people what they want because they don't know what they want. That's what they're looking at you for."
—Thom Mayne
In last week's newsletter, I asked our readers for advice on what they'd like to see us improve here at On Being. One reader, Howard Maple, shared this pithy quotation from the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne. I appreciate Mr. Maple's honesty and reminder to trust one's creative instincts while paying attention. The onus is on us.

A rebuttable presumption is when a fact is presumed to be true in a court case until it is disproved. For example, if a person presents an alibi for a crime, it is presumed to be true unless it is later proved to be untrue. Whether or not a rebuttable presumption is proven to be true often has major implications in a lawsuit. Read more

More international students in Oregon universities
As classes begin today, Oregon's seven universities are expecting the largest number of international students ever, while total enrollment will hit a record, probably topping 100,000.
International student enrollment climbed 45 percent over the last four years to 5,695 students. That's about twice the rate international enrollment rose among colleges and universities nationwide during the same period.
Both in Oregon and nationally, universities are attracting large numbers of students from China, India and South Korea. Oregon also draws a big share of students from Saudi Arabia and Japan. Universities in Oregon and across the country vigorously recruit abroad because high nonresident tuition helps offset cuts in state funding.

From Wikiquote
Anger Management is a 2003 comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson which was directed by Peter Segal and written by David S. Dorfman.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (May 7, 2012) - When members of the class of 2012 turns their tassels at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore May 18, they will have the distinction of being graduates of the largest commencement in the institution's 125-year history.
The UMES registrar's office projects 548 degree candidates, including 49 who will receive master's degrees and 21 who have completed and defended dissertations for their doctorates.
NASA's top official, Charles F. Bolden Jr., will deliver the commencement address and receive the university's Presidential Medal for his service as a U.S. Marine and as an astronaut.
Bolden, 65, is a retired two-star U.S. Marine Corps general and NASA's 12th Administrator. His 34-year military career included 14 years in NASA's Astronaut Office. Bolden flew on four space shuttle missions between 1986 and 1994 and commanded two — one to deploy the Hubble Space Telescope and the first joint U.S.-Russian mission. He was inducted in the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in May 2006 and is a recipient of the Defense Superior Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Presidential medals will also be awarded to Dr. Samuel Kojo Dapaah, USAID Chief Technical Advisor to the Minister of Food and Agriculture, in Ghana, and actress Beverly Todd. Ator David Ogden Stiers will receive an honorary degree at UMES' commencement exercises.
Dapaah's 37-year career with the Ghanaian Civil Service included 15 years in leadership as director of policy planning, monitoring and evaluation and as chief director of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. Before that, he served as senior advisor to five ministers of agriculture and was a researcher and lecturer at the University of Ghana.
Todd won a People's Choice Award and received four NAACP Image Award nominations for her work — the height of which was in the 70's in films such as "the Lost Man," and "They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!"

Todd produced the acclaimed special "Ella: 60 Years of Music! A Tribute" starring Gladys Knight and the late Whitney Houston.
Stiers, a three-time Emmy nominee, is a Julliard-trained actor, director and musician best known for his work as Major Charles Winchester III in "M*A*S*H."

We need people control
Another mass shooting.
Well we have another mass shooting at a military Navy base. It is a shame, no doubt, but here goes the gun lobbies again.
I would like to say I understand these people wanting to take away guns, make it harder to buy weapons, and have stricter laws for buying.
I will say one thing, I am a hunter, I have hunted for 55 years this year. Love hunting, and I own guns. I have a lever action .308 and a muzzle-loader.
I believe in the right to own guns, and the Second Amendment. But, I really feel like there is no place for these AR-15 type weapons in the hands of civilians.
And I also do not believe in the ability to buy aftermarket clips that hold 20, 30, and even 50 rounds. This is a military weapon, civilians do not need to own them.
Last year on opening day of deer season I was in my blind and about 10:15 there was 17 shots, get that, 17 shots, as fast as this person could pull the trigger.
Really, you need to shoot 17 times?
And, the shots were close, I almost got out of my blind and went back to camp. We do not need idiots like this in the woods with all the other hunters out there shooting 17 times in a row.
I also hear people in my town shooting fast and lots of shells at a time close to town. We do not need more idiots with these kinds of guns in the public.
Now let's get to the real point of this letter. You can take away all the guns, make it impossible for a person to buy one and we will still have these shootings happen.
It is not the guns, or large clips that kill, period.
It is the people with mental problems that are the cause.
First, in the Bible Jesus said that Satan, or the devil which ever you prefer is the cause of all of this. Yes, I can see the eye rolls now. You want to call Jesus Christ a liar?
Jesus said Satan and his evil angels were cast out of Heaven to the earth.
Yes, Satan is here on planet earth with all his evil and fallen angels. Now, Jesus said the Satan, or the devil is here to, "kill, steal, and destroy."
These evil demons can enter into humans and control us. Jesus said so, again, you want to call Jesus Christ a liar again? Jesus several times cast demons out of people, one time it was seven demons in one person.
This is the real reason for the evil in this world, and again Jesus said it. Those who are unbelievers, and do not want anything to do with God are the ones who Satan attacks. Once Satan gets into the mind of a person there is only one way to get them out.
One must be born again. Because when one is born again, that person receives the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, and Satan can not attack and indwell that person. Satan can temp those born again, but Satan can't indwell them.
If you paid attention to all the mass murderers, you will see that they all had mental issues, Godless individuals all easy targets for Satan and his evil demons.
We are told in the Bible that there are only two paths in life.
One is a very wide one with many on that path, and every one of them are on the path to Hades. The other path is a very narrow, difficult path, and only a few are on it.
Those on this narrow path are on their way to Heaven. So, with so many people on the way to Hades is it a wonder Satan has so many to work with to carry out his mission to kill, steal, and destroy?
This is the true reason for all the evil, and killings, murders, rapes, beatings, people stealing, people cheating each other out of money, drug use, alcoholics, drug dealers, and on and on.
What it gets down to is we are spending too much time on useless issues of gun control, we need people control.
Mental issues need to be addressed, not suppressed and kept quiet. We need to turn in those who make questionable remarks that are scary. And, this is important, as Christians we must make a bigger effort to witness to everyone we can about the love of God, and Jesus as our saviour.
We must bring as many as we can to our Lord so they can be "born again." Too may false Christians think they only need to go to church once a week and no more. Jesus told us all to witness for him, this is not just for the pastor, priest, or minister, whatever you want to call them.
We will have evil and murder with us until Jesus comes again at the Resurrection, no amount of gun control or legislation will have any effect on these killings.
So, I wish all the politicians would just spend time on the debt, jobs, the budget, and do their job like we elected them to do.

Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 6 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by CJV5 Small but sturdy A small weight rack, but nice for a home gym that doesn't have a full set of all weights. Very sturdy, nice quality. The one thing I wondered about prior to purchasing that isn't listed in the description is how long it is to determine how much it will hold. There are 2 weight racks, each is 28 1/2" long. We have 2 sets of heavier weights on one shelf and 3 sets of smaller, lighter weights on the bottom shelf. January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tara Great Quality and Value! Easy to assemble. Solid and stable. Great value! Purchased for our in home gym! January 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Brookie Sturdy and easy to assemble This product is very sturdy and easy to assemble. It perfectly holds my dumbbells which includes: 35s, 25s, 20s, 15s,10s, 5s and 3s. It does not look too bad in my living room. December 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by joe the pro Bang 4 the Buck this product was sturdy and easy to assemble!I thought for the price it would be cheap--but it is a quality product would buy another one. June 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Former couch potato Very satisfied Very pleased with the Powerline 2 Tier Dumbell Rack by Powerline. Easy to assemble, sturdy and useful for both dumbbells and medicine balls. Excellent value. Thank you. June 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Big Red in LA Finally, One That Works We bought this for our little home gym. After looking at several models online and in stores, I bought another rack through another online retailer. The thing was damaged in shipping and missing one of the uprights. Needless to say I returned it and found this Powerline rack online at Dick's. This rack has the proper spacing between the horizontal angles so that my old style steel plate dumbbells do not fall off the front. Most of the ones I looked at in stores had that problem. I wasn't going to buy new weights just to get a rack. This rack is super sturdy, like what you find in sport clubs but it is small enough that it doesn't dominate our small apartment. I will hold 4 dumbells with the 5-lb small hole plates on each shelf. If you put 10-lb plates, you'll probably only get 3. It feels as if it will hold any of that weight combination. Real easy to assemble and well designed. It has threaded holes through the cross angles with locknuts. Even has a little bottle of touch up paint. May 12, 2012

2006 BMW 760Li Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2006 BMW 760Li as reported by actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.Refine by vehicle
Choose your vehicle
2Known Problems
The front thrust rod bushings—also referred to as tension strut bushings—are known to fail occasionally. The oil-filled rubber mounts weaken and crack over time, causing a mushy road feel and shuddering in the steering wheel when going over bumps.
There are reports of various interior trim parts peeling including center console buttons, storage tray buttons, door sill entry covers, b-pillar trims, and kick panels.


text: It sounds like you have accumulated water in your brake fluid, hence the cloudy, creamy texture. Good thing you are disassembling them. If I were doing it I would bleed all the old fluid out of the system with clean fluid and get all the creamy stuff out. Then, once you have removed the caliper assemblies you should be able to just squeeze the brake lever and push the pucks out enough to pull them out by hand. You will probably have to replace the rubber seals and use a fine abrasive emery paper to gently scrub the cylinders if they are rusty. But, if they are just cruddy, a good brake cleaning fluid should flush the crud out. With the seals back in place you should be able to push the pucks back in but you might need a stiff section of thin board to get them flat with the surface of the caliper assembly. Mount them back, squeeze the brake lever to reseat the pads and then bleed again until you get all the air bubbles out. There may be other suggestions from Zoran or Jim Stewart or any other listers that have done this far more often than me. I'd say you biggest problem is not bleeding your brakes often enough to purge water out of the system. Remember, brake fluid is hydroscopic, it absorbs dihydrogen oxide (fancy name for water). dm ----- Original Message ----- From: "David kerr" So, this is the first time I've disassembled the brakes on my '99 SV650x. So far I have discovered that the brake "fluid" was white and the cinsistancy of room temperature sour cream. What causes this? I've also discovered that one or two of the seals are pushed out and showing next to the pistons. 2nd Question: How in the world do you remove the brake pistons without the use of compressed air from the back as the service manual suggests. I obviously don't want to scratch, scar or squeeze the pistons, so what's the trick? Lastly, any tips on cleaning and replacing the same pistons? Thanks, David

A quick day of roping, and food, of course!Posted Tuesday, May 1, 2012, at 12:55 PM
First we had to go gather up a stray cow, that did not belong to us. Note how, I'm all serious, and Al is behind me being a GOOBER.
Said Cow, once in this pen, (somewhere behind me) did NOT want to stay in. You can't see Wayne, but he's chaining these panels together, in hopes that she won't be out, before we load her in the trailer to take to her 'rightful' owner. I'm being Wayne's Savior by holding the panel from falling on him. He just doesn't know it. Later he saw this photo and said "Cool, you look relaxed, just hanging around" hmmmmm.."I just freaking saved your life, Mister!" That was a deadly panel!
Al, once we have the cow gone, and getting a bit of help by a local man. Some of you may know him. ?? Any guesses?
Wendy and Al going to gather the bunch that we are going to brand. Al says "They went thatta way!"
There they go, to go get a smallish bunch. Wendy is wearing my hat, and apparently I'm a bit big headed, and it's too big for her. Al has to bring it back to me, cuz it's going to blow off
The food has arrived! I'm darn excited about this, ...this was a couple Saturdays ago, and I managed to forget to eat anything in the morning. The heat got to me, and I was feeling like tipping over.... I begged for food and a Gatorade, ....and I was rescued. Shewie!
This Airplane flew over, and I got some details on it from a guy named Jack. (not giving his whole name, cuz I don't have permission)He says when they have 4 contrails, and are flying this particular course, means they have come from Europe. At first I thought "What the heck??!!" Cuz he said, "that's coming from Europe." But apparently a pilot who is interested in that stuff...can know stuff like that. Contrails, directions, and the time of day, told him a lot. I'm impressed. Of course I had to take a photo
Here's the Bunch of Wild Ones...and the cattle too.
Brands are very interesting. Each one represents a ranch.... and many many times, there is a lot of history behind a brand.
Let the roping begin! I've said before I'm not good at this, but I'm going to give it a shot, from time to time. Wendy has my camera, and will catch my fails. I, however, will NOT post my failures. heheheh. My blog, my rules. Buckshot, note the pink shirt, and pink rope!
No calf in this photo, but in the photo on the right, I've got one!
Got one, and about to get one.
I heard from a reliable source, that Wayne is
'spose I'm coming up to save the day?
Any guesses what these are? And what we do with them?
Al is not a squeamish girl. Heck, she's nearly a puppy. I've seen proof. She is learning how to castrate a
Al took this photo of her Mom and I. We are about to EAT! not the horse
Some of my favorite people, new and old friends. We don't just do business out here. There's plenty of work to be done, but we meet new people, get re-acquainted with people we know. And appreciate a quiet simple time that we spend together, and mostly, appreciate each other.
Then there is a bit of play. And Wayne is just about always the biggest kid, starting the games
Truly, at the end of the day of work and fun with friends and family, what could be a more beautiful site than this? A Granddaughter on a horse she loves, A horse taking care of her. And the beautiful landscape of our Idaho Mountains, where we work and play. This is what I live for.

Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Saves Lives!
Women's Health Check (WHC) is funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Breast and Cervical Cancer early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). Since 1996, WHC has collaborated with other programs and agencies across Idaho to plan and coordinate public and professional education designed to increase screening rates for breast and cervical cancer.
View text version of the following infographic
Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
Cervical Cancer: When cancer starts in the cervix, it is called cervical cancer. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus. Also known as the womb, the uterus is where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. The cervix connects the upper part of the uterus to the vagina (the birth canal).
All women are at risk for cervical cancer. It occurs most often in women over age 30. Each year, about 12,000 women in the United States get cervical cancer and about 4,000 women die from it.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex. At least half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few women will get cervical cancer.
Most mammograms and Pap test results are normal. However, any problems found are much easier to treat when discovered early.
When to Get Screened
Breast Cancer: If you are 50 to 74 years old, be sure to have a screening mammogram every two years. If you are 40 to 49 years old, talk to your doctor about when to start and how often to get a screening mammogram.
Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer is the easiest gynecologic cancer to prevent, with regular screening tests and follow-up. Two screening tests that can help prevent cervical cancer or find it early are—
A Pap test is recommended for all women between the ages of 21 and 65 years old, and can be done in a doctor's office or clinic.
Prior to enrolling in WHC, a woman must meet the following eligibility criteria:

About the Authors: Tiffany Smith Licciardi and Linda G. Green serve in the Office of eDiplomacy in the Bureau of Information Resource Management.
The work of the Department of State is global and requires coordination of effort from Washington, our diplomatic offices abroad, our colleagues in the foreign affairs community and partners around the world. One of the programs that has changed the way we do business in the past few years is Diplopedia, the Department of State's online collaborative encyclopedia of foreign affairs information. Like the Internet's Wikipedia, Diplopedia is a wiki. It aims to draw on contributions from all staff with knowledge and experience to share that will help Department employees do their work more effectively and efficiently.
From a quiet start in late 2006 with about a dozen articles, Diplopedia has taken off in content and participation. Now, in an average week, Department employees create 30 new contributor accounts, add 50 or more pages and access Diplopedia between 30,000 and 40,000 times. In 2009, Diplopedia passed one milestone -- more than 2,000 registered contributors. In early 2010, it passed an even bigger one -- more than 10,000 articles. The growing breadth and depth of Diplopedia make it an increasingly valuable resource.
What kind of information does Diplopedia contain? Some of it concerns the nuts-and-bolts of life in a big organization. For example, Diplopedia contains a comprehensive collection of information for desk officers, the Foreign Service officers who act as the in-house experts and go-to officials on a particularly country. Desk officers rotate out of their positions every two years and often have little lead time to learn the scope of their new job. Diplopedia provides a desk officer manual, advising them on everything from what to make of Department jargon, how to move a paper for decision, or how to navigate a new Ambassador through the complexities of Senate confirmation and assignment to his or her mission.
Diplopedia covers substance as well as tradecraft. For example, some 40 briefing portals help Department employees find and contribute information on specific programs, economic issues, and international politics. What put Diplopedia over the 10,000 article mark last month was a decision to use it as a working space for our foreign policy experts to share and collate information that underpins the Department's efforts to address a major global issue which encompasses economic, political, human rights and population concerns.
Diplopedia continues to grow because Department employees are ready both to share knowledge and expertise and to innovate in the way they tackle challenges. The Office of eDiplomacy and other offices in State help provide the technological tools -- our diplomats and analysts do the rest to advance American diplomacy.

Really transformational and extremely smart tool.
Although, I don't have access as a simple civilian (this is logical), I can understand how much powerful and useful it is.
I think it's very easy to understand my point. Imagine yourself being a young SD officer moving from (let's say) Cape Verde to (let's say) Colombia. How can you know the new "situationâ€? Extremely different places. Of course, I imagine, there are briefs etc., but having this tool available, "transfer†is even more "intranet downloadable".
I did not know about this project!
Great work!!!
Nadeem in California writes:
Excellent tool!
Tiffany in Washington, DC writes:
Thanks very much for your compliments, John! Like any collaborative software, Diplopedia has relied on participation to achieve the results it has. We encourage members of the public to participate in the dialogue at www.state.gov/open to suggest ideas on how State can improve the quality of information available to you!
John P. in Greece writes:
In addition, imagine if this public domain archive post is/was so interesting for civilians like me, how much more this project can be a diplomatic tool for pros.
What I mean is that sharing ideas, experiences and knowledge is the only way to move the craft.
As Donald in VA says: "knowledge is learnedâ€.
Share it!
Jovan in Switzerland writes:
Congratulations! The success of Diplopedia could be an interesting case-study in diplomatic professional culture. What motivates a diplomat to share information (exclusive access to information is very often the key asset for career progression in diplomatic services). Is information sharing or information control more effective for a successful diplomatic career today? These and other questions of relevance for acceptance of e-tools by diplomats are discussed at edip.diplomacy.edu. It will be also interesting for wider international community to learn more about Diplopedia, DipNote and other e-diplomacy initiatives at State.

State Supreme Court Justices To Discuss Electronic Discovery Monday
An educational session on E-Discovery issues with serious responsibilities and consequences for attorneys and their clients arising from a duty to preserve and the rights of others to demand electronically stored items is scheduled in a lunch hour session at the Chautauqua County Courthouse in Mayville on Monday.
Supreme Court Justices Deborah Chimes and John Curran will present the topic of E-Discovery in New York Courts, a technique available to individuals, small businesses and corporations involved in legal disputes to gain information from opposing parties.
Lori Thierfeldt, secretary to Robert H. Jackson Inn of Court, said electronic discovery relates to obtaining electronically stored information such as Internet documents, emails, voice mails and internet chats that could be considered important in lawsuits or legal claims.
Electronic discovery has been used successfully in New York courtrooms in actions by and against individuals and corporations, criminal law defense and prosecution, contract disputes, employer-employee disputes, divorce and custody proceedings and commercial cases.
According to e-discovery experts, the tool has been utilized to prove adultery, unfitness as a parent, dissipation of marital assets, breach of contract, harassment, hostile work environment, violation of fiduciary duties, lack or extent of personal injuries in worker's compensation and negligence cases, disputes between neighbors, fraud and misrepresentation, and identity theft.
Retired Supreme Court Justice Joseph Gerace, co-president, with Arthur N. Bailey of the Inn of Court, in an email to attorneys wrote: "In my 50-plus years of practice and as a Supreme Court Justice, I cannot recall when a single procedure has the potential of impacting a law practice and its clients – individual, small businesses or corporate – or that presents a greater risk of serious (sometimes case ending or career threatening) sanctions for attorneys and clients involved in civil, domestic and criminal cases than an E-Discovery demand in a New York court."
Because of the importance of the topic, a pupilage group of attorneys of the Inn of Court asked Judge Chimes to chair the session. She will introduce Judge Curran, Supreme Court Justice, who has made several presentations at the New York State Judicial Institute to alert and prepare judges and court attorneys on E-Discovery issues in civil and criminal cases.
The group consists of attorneys Arthur N. Bailey, Lori Thierfeldt, Charles DeAngelo, Daryl Brautigam, Andrew Brautigam, Mary Schiller, Patrick Slagle, Joseph Calemeri, Robert Liebers and Jeffrey G. Passafaro.

LINCOLN – Four lambs are putting on weight at Alcona High School, despite their rocky birth a few weeks earlier broadcast live-like reality TV.
These new stars of "Ewe-Tube" trotted gleefully around their indoor pen Tuesday as Hannah Terpstra attempted to corner them for a photo op. For one ewe to give birth to four offspring is unusual, she said. The same ewe, named Gwen, is prolific, however, and produced three babies at the high school last year.
Terpstra has been guiding the care of the 4-year-old Polypay ewe and another ewe for months as part of an FFA training program in the school's agriscience shop.
The class is one of her favorites.
"It's not like reading a book or doing homework," she said. "It's about seeing the process of life."
Terpstra rushed to the school on Jan. 21, when the building was closed due to weather. From her computer at home she could see Gwen was going into labor and got her father, history teacher Terry Terpstra, to give her a ride.
The owner of the $350 ewe, Amanda Swinson, also was watching from Ohio, where she is going to college. Swinson founded the ewe program when she was a senior last year at the high school.
The first lamb was delivered without a hitch, Terpstra said.
Then trouble began.
"Gwen would lay down and start pushing and nothing would come out," Terpstra said.
With her father nearby, Terpstra put on a glove and examined the womb, but said she didn't feel anything. So after some anxious hours, she called horse breeder Nancy Beck for help.
"I was a little scared, because I had never done this before," Terpstra said.
When Beck arrived, she knew what to do, because she has helped her horses to deliver foals.
"No. 2 and No. 3 were tangled and I had to actually reach inside up to my shoulder to find them," Beck said. "They were way, way, way inside, and so bunched up together."
Once out, the newborns had trouble breathing. One at a time, Beck held each by its hind legs to drain fluid. Then she wiped off its snout and gave it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
"It was a pretty good puff to inflate the lungs," she said.
Eventually all of the babies were breathing, so Terpstra and the others moved back into a nearby classroom to watch Gwen's progress by computer as she bonded with her babies.
That's when the fourth lamb popped out, a tiny creature they thought at first was a discharge after birth.
"We quickly picked him up," Beck said.
He, too, had difficulty breathing, but is now thriving. A runt, that is nicknamed Sneaky Pete because he loves to follow his mom around and grab some milk when the other babies are distracted, Terpstra said.
When school ends, the lambs and their moms will go back to the farm, where they are a working herd. Organizers plan for some of the ewes to be bred again and return to the high school next fall.
Beck, a volunteer, applauds the lambing program under the direction of Brian Matchett, an award-winning teacher at the school.
"I think it is fantastic," she said. "So many kids don't have the opportunity to be around a cow or sheep in high school."
The online Ewe-Tube is located at www.alconaschools.net and works only with Google Chrome and Firefox web browsers. Scroll down the center column to the ewe-tube announcement and click on the tab. Terpstra said the live feed is sometimes turned off during the day to speed up the school's Internet access.

Chicken nuggets were a staple in my life growing up, but by kids hate frozen chicken nuggets! I guess that it is kind of a blessing and a curse (a blessing because it isn't good for them to eat such processed food, but a curse because it sure would be nice to throw some nuggets in the oven and have them ready in a matter of minutes). I saw this recipe a couple of years ago on local TV program, copied it down as fast as I could, and it ended up being a huge hit with my kids (and husband!)! And really, it is pretty quick to throw them together . . . once you try them, you'll never go back.
3 cups corn flakes
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
pinch of pepper
1 lb. boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
2 large eggs, beaten
-Cut chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces. Set aside.
-Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease cookie sheet.
-Put flakes in large plastic bag and crush to fine texture. Pour into medium-sized bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to corn flakes.
-Place eggs in separate small bowl.
-Place flour in separate small bowl.
-To bread chicken, coat chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the egg, coat in corn flake mixture.
-Arrange chicken on prepared baking sheet til golden brown (about 12-15 minutes).

Geothermal Plant Near Vale Begins Operation Next Week
The operator of Oregon's first geothermal plant near Vale says it will start generating electricity this summer. In an update Wednesday to Malheur County officials, U.S. Geothermal environmental manager Scott Nichols said the first of three power plant units will start on July 6. The second will follow later in July and the third by the end of the summer.
The Argus Observer reports the U.S. Energy Department proved a loan for the project at Neal Hot Springs.
The plant uses the hot underground water to turn refrigerant into vapor that turns a turbine and runs a generator. The water is injected back into the ground.

Columbus-area florists are expecting calls today from men seeking a dozen red roses and some little white lies.
The phenomenon might be called "post-Valentine's Day syndrome": Guys who forgot the holiday ask florists to take the blame.
"He wants us to say we did not deliver the flowers on time and please accept our apologies so that he comes off like he didn't forget," said Steve Ozment, owner of the Flowerama shops in central Ohio.
"That happens every year."
Ozment does his best, he said, to finesse the matter without telling outright lies.
Florists need a range of attributes, in fact, to handle all the quirks of human nature that Valentine's Day — and its aftermath — exposes.
A savvy florist, for example, maintains confidentiality, said Nick DeSantis of DeSantis Florist on Kenny Road.
"We have a lot of guys who send them to their girlfriends and their wives," he said. "Usually the wife doesn't get as much as the girlfriend."
A florist can do little, though, when a customer isn't savvy enough to avoid a paper trail.
"One guy used his wife's credit card to pay instead of his own," DeSantis said. "I'm like 'It's not our fault she found out, buddy.' "
A good florist also knows the law.
A few years ago, a young man ordered a bouquet and said he had some personal items he wanted to nestle in it, said Jaime Mainini of the Flowerama store on E. Broad Street.
"There were some chocolates and a bear and a bag of weed," Mainini said. "So, of course, we could not deliver that item. This is not Colorado."
(Nor can florists deliver wine — unless they have a liquor license.)
Patience, too, is a vital virtue for a florist.
Yesterday, Mainini faced a store full of customers, constantly ringing phones and — in a few cases — a frustrating lack of information.
Many guys — Feb. 14 customers are overwhelmingly male — eager to impress new crushes fail to obtain basic information such as a name and an address, making delivery difficult.
The best that one man could do for a name this week was "Pooky," Mainini said; another could offer only "my lady."
DeSantis has had customers who wanted flowers sent to bartenders or strippers whose names they didn't know.
Unflappability, too, comes in handy for florists, who never know what a customer might request.
"Last year, we actually went to a guy's house and scattered rose petals all through the house," said Dee Conrad of Petals & Leaves on Goodale Boulevard.
Customers sometimes ask, Mainini said, that the delivery person sing to the recipient or knock on a door and inquire about "the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Some of our temporary drivers, if they're in a better mood than our regular drivers, will do something like that."
DeSantis has a customer who has ordered a dozen silk roses every Valentine's Day for 30 years because he doesn't like how real roses wilt.
Yet real roses rank as the most popular choice by far.
"You can't go wrong," said Columbus resident Terry Byrd, picking up a dozen at Flowerama for his wife of 30 years.
The first time Ellis Sutton of Columbus tried skipping Valentine's Day flowers, he said, was the last time: His girlfriend wasn't pleased.
"I thought the four-course dinner would cover it," he said. "You've got to have the flowers."& amp; amp; amp; lt; /p>
Which explains why florists need to offer education, too: Some men know what they want; others require help.
Charles, who declined to give his last name, entered Flowerama yesterday in search of 30 red roses and a single yellow one for his wife of 30 years.
The yellow rose represents his wife, he said, and the red roses symbolize the love with which he surrounds her.
By contrast, a young man who arrived unsure of what to get for his wife settled on a small bouquet of salmon-
colored roses in a slender tube.
Tara Hughes, working the cash register, had to explain to him that he'd chosen an arrangement meant to fit a gravestone receptacle.
"You just saved my Valentine's Day," he said.

This document presents the security profile for wide-area monitoring, protection, and control (WAMPAC) of the electric grid, specifically leveraging synchrophasor technology. This profile addresses security concerns associated with the use of phasor measurements in electric system operational decisions, whether these decisions are made off-line, real-time but manually, or through automated processes. The recommendations made herein are based on stated system architectural and functional assumptions, and offer a singular security baseline for overall use of synchrophasor technology with tailored subsets of recommendations where variations in system deployment or usage occur.
This document defines a reference architecture, a set of use cases to define system functionality, and a set of security controls for systems and components that implement the use cases. The security controls in this document are inspired by and intended to cover the application of technical requirements found in NIST Interagency Report (IR) 7628: Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security to synchrophasor systems and technology. The underlying approach behind this document was therefore to (1) study real-world use of synchrophasor systems, (2) define the function of these systems by presenting a reference architecture that defines abstract roles and use cases, (3) map the architecture's roles to real-world synchrophasor systems, (4) define broad security objectives for synchrophasor systems, (5) identify potential failures for each role in the context of the use cases, (6) define security controls to address the failures, and (7) assign controls to the roles.
The primary audience for this document is organizations that are developing or implementing solutions requiring or providing WAMPAC functionality through the use of synchrophasor technology. This document is written for system owners, system implementers, and security engineers with at least a year of experience in securing electric utility field operations.

Lyon County Board conducts organizational meeting
MARSHALL – Members of the Lyon County Board took care of some annual organizational duties Tuesday morning and also set the stage to continue discussion of some ongoing issues facing the county.
Tuesday was the 2013 organizational meeting for the county board. Commissioners Charlie Sanow, Steve Ritter, Rodney Stensrud and Mark Goodenow were all sworn into office, as was Lyon County Assessor Dean Champine. Commissioner Rick Anderson was nominated and elected as board chairman, and Ritter was nominated and elected vice chairman.
Anderson was absent from the meeting and swearing-in ceremony because of illness.
At Tuesday's meeting, commissioners set a hearing date for redetermination of benefits on Judicial Ditch 6 in Fairview Township, a topic that had been discussed at some length in 2011. At that time, the city of Marshall had petitioned for an outlet on the ditch as part of a planned drainage project. The petition brought up questions as to the new outlet's effect on flow in JD 6, as well as the need for an updated determination of benefits to property drained by the ditch. The redetermination process would also take into account changing land values, said Lyon County Ditch Inspector Todd Hammer.
The hearing was set for 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 19. Hammer said he would also be talking with affected landowners in the week beforehand, to hear if there were questions or concerns that needed to be addressed at the hearing.
Meanwhile, some other items of business, including performance evaluations of the county public works director, facilities manager and assessor and discussion of whether to pursue making certain county positions appointed instead of elected, were tabled until next week's county board meeting. Commissioners said it wouldn't be too long a delay and would give Anderson a chance to recuperate and take part in the discussion.
The possibility of appointing a county auditor/treasurer and county recorder instead of having elections has also been an ongoing issue for the county board. This past year, Lyon County was one of several counties that had jointly requested state legislation allowing the change. That request didn't make it through the Legislature, said Lyon County Administrator Loren Stomberg.
"The Vikings stadium had taken center stage at the end of the session," Stomberg said. Stomberg said now was the time for commissioners to decide whether to try again.
Although commissioners voted to table discussion of the issue until next week, some said they were still in favor of the idea.
"I would very much like to see us pursue this," Stensrud said.
Goodenow said there would be benefits to appointing an auditor/treasurer and recorder. He thought the change would mean more efficiency for the county, as well as greater flexibility in the job descriptions for those positions. The state sets specific duties for elected offices, he said.
"This way, you don't have to group the job requirements in the same way as they did 100 years ago," Goodenow said.
In other business, commissioners approved an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation for a detour on Minnesota Highway 19 in Marshall, an upcoming road project. MnDOT plans to resurface the highway between Lyon County Road 7 and 4th Street in Marshall, said Lyon County Public Works Director Suhail Kanwar. The highway department would divert Highway 19 traffic onto County Road 7 during construction.
Kanwar said it wasn't yet determined exactly when and for how long the detour would be in place. It could possibly be from mid-July to mid-September, he said.
Commissioners also approved a bid for a three-year contract by the Lyon County Newspaper Association to publish county notices and board minutes. Under the contract, public notices would be published first in one official county newspaper and subsequently in all other county papers, said Marshall Independent publisher Russ Labat. The official receiving newspaper would be the Tracy Headlight-Herald in 2013, the Balaton Press-Tribune in 2014 and the Marshall Independent in 2015.

Saturday prep hoops games a natural fit/Paul Peterson
The late and great Ed Helakoski was a coach who was light years ahead of his time.
The Chassell High skipper is noted mostly for the three state championships his teams won in the late 1950s as well as a state-record 65-game win streak.
But Helakoski was also among the first local coaches to set up structured practices, meaning every minute was accounted for. He and Houghton High coach John Gaffney were also the first mentors to employ a full-court press.
Recognizing the "star power" of his great CHS teams, Helakoski also scheduled several games on occasional Saturday nights during a season.
The games took place at Michigan Tech's Sherman Gym and never failed to fill the house as rival coaches, players and fans from all over the area came to see the show.
In order for this concept to work, a suitably strong opponent had to be lined up. In Chassell's case, that usually meant then-very good L'Anse, Baraga and Negaunee St. Paul teams.
As the years have passed, Saturday night basketball has more or less disappeared. There was a prevailing feeling among the powers that be that holding a basketball game on what was a traditional hockey night would hurt the gate.
Let's be totally honest. Basketball fans are, with just a few exceptions, not going to pass up a good game to see a hockey game. And vice-versa for hockey backers.
This past Saturday night, Ewen-Trout Creek played Lake Linden-Hubbell in a game rescheduled because of bad weather.
With the Lakes being undefeated and the Panthers their usual strong selves, the matchup was a natural. An overflow crowd showed up in Lake Linden and wasn't disappointed as the two teams played a very intense, high-quality game.
I believe a still young LL-H team is going to be very good for at least a few years down the road. Scheduling a couple of Saturday night specials per season would benefit coach Jack Kumpula and his team.
Set the game up on a night when MTU basketball isn't in town.
Use either the Student Development Complex Gym or even Finlandia University's Paavo Nurmi Gym as the site.
Bring in opponents like E-TC, Forest Park or Superior Central – perennially strong teams that aren't afraid to answer a challenge.
The better the competition, the more a team benefits. Just ask Houghton girls' basketball coach Julie Filpus.
The Lakes' always-loyal following isn't going to mind driving an extra 10 miles to see their favorites. I can almost guarantee that you'll put 1,500 or more fans in the seats.
The Calumet High hockey team already does a similar thing by scheduling powerhouses like Cranbrook, Brighton and University of Detroit-Jesuit for weekend series. The result is usually a big crowd at the Calumet Colosseum.
It's just an idea, but I think Saturday night hoops would be just as popular and successful as it was for Chassell a half-century ago.
