Green River nuclear water rights trial scheduled for last week in September. Outcome of 9/23-9/30 trial critical for future of Utah's first proposed nuclear reactor project
HEAL Utah announced that their effort to overturn the State of Utah's decision to approve water rights for the proposed Green River nuclear reactor project will be heard in Price between Sept. 23-30.
The case, "HEAL Utah et al v. Blue Castle Holdings et al," will be tried in front of Judge George Harmond in the Seventh District of Utah's District Court. The trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, Sept. 23 and last until Monday, Sept. 30 at the courthouse located at 149 East, 100 South, Price.
HEAL and fellow plaintiffs Uranium Watch, Living Rivers, and several Green River-area businesses and residents, will argue that State Engineer Kent Jones failed to uphold state law when he gave Blue Castle Holdings approval to take more than 53,000 acre feet of water from the Green River to cool a proposed nuclear power project.
The plaintiffs contend that Jones should have done much more in reviewing the water rights applications, including making sure that financially-struggling Blue Castle Holdings had enough money to complete the project, as state law requires. Plaintiffs also contend that the State Engineer failed to show that the nuclear reactors won't interfere with other water rights or harm the fragile Green River ecosystem, among other claims.
The trial in Price is critical because it's the only remaining opportunity for a Utah official to have a say in whether the Green River nuclear project goes forward.
If the state's water rights decision stands, Blue Castle Holdings will be free to apply to the federal U.S. Nuclear Reactor Commission for a permit to site their nuclear reactors just four miles northwest of the city of Green River.
HEAL and their fellow plaintiffs will plan daily briefings during and after the trial.

SLU Named to 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll
This marks the sixth consecutive year the University has received the honor, the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service and service-learning.
Placement on the honor roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and community engagement. The prestigious award honors exemplary service efforts and service to disadvantaged youth.
SLU has a strong history of service and outreach in the St. Louis community and has been recognized previously for its efforts.
"Make A Difference Day," SLU's annual day of service held in October, has grown larger each year with an increasing number of volunteers and organizations assisted. In 2012, more than 3,300 faculty, staff, alumni, family and friends of the University volunteered at 130 sites across the St. Louis area.
Last year, as part of the national Relay for Life campaign, more than 1,300 participants raised $130,000 to help fight cancer. Since its beginning in 2004, the SLU Relay for Life has raised more than $1.25 million for the American Cancer Society of Eastern Missouri and was awarded the "Thanks A Million" Award by the American Cancer Society. The 2011 SLU Relay for Life event also was recognized as the third largest collegiate Relay event in the nation, per capita, by the American Cancer Society.
Each year, SLU volunteers share hundreds of thousands of service hours in the metropolitan community and through spring break mission trips across the country and sometimes around the world.
From year round programs at the University's Campus Kitchen, Casa de Salud and the Health Resource Center to special events and projects throughout the year such as Relay for Life and the Blue Santa Service Leadership toy drive, volunteers are sharing their time, talent and spirit of community.
Just a few of the highlights include:
- From August to April, Campus Kitchen volunteers spent 3,656 hours recovering 32,445 pounds of food to deliver 19,927 meals to those in need.
- According to a survey, 84 percent of SLU students volunteer once during the year, which is well above the national average of 60 percent. Nearly half are regular volunteers, providing service multiple times a month.
- The University also is participating in the President's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, a White House initiative inviting institutions of higher education to commit to interfaith cooperation and community service programming on campus.
The national honor roll is jointly sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Human Development, USA Freedom Corps and the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.

Roboworm Zipper Worms
The Roboworm Zipper Worm is the original zipper worm that created the onslaught of imitators on the market. The prominent ribs along the length of the Roboworm Zipper Worm provides a multitude of benefits. Aside from giving the bait a bulkier appearance without the additional weight, the ribs displace a significant amount of water, creating a bigger disturbance below the surface and attracting bass from greater distances. The ribs also give the Zipper Worms a feel and texture that bass love, causing them to hold on longer for better hooksets. The soft, thin, flexible curly tail provides additional action on the fall or when the bait is just scooting along the bottom.
Try the Roboworm Zipper Worm as a flip bait, since it can get through small openings in thick cover easily, or try Texas-rigging it and shaking it on deep structure. One pro's secret has been to tie a dropshot rigwith heavier line, Tex-spose the hook in the Zipper, and pitch it into fish holding cover while shaking the whole rig. By varying the length of the leader, you can put the bait right where the fish are if they aren't relating to the bottom. We carry all the colors Roboworm makes to make sure there's a color and style of Zipper Worm that will catch fish in your home lake.

Comments: The main part of the Zipper club, is not talking about the Zipper club. Oh yeah sure, they were hot like 10 years ago, but they dont work now. Right? I have accidentally turned more than one dude on to these while fishing out of the back of his boat. I just Texas rig them. Ive caught fish of all sizes on them, casting and pitching. Also, slow roll them in and dont be shocked when they start nailing it. Get zippy!
From: Meatwad: Beans-spills-ville
Comments: pick your color and pitch or flip this little dandy into a patch of weed's or tules, then hold onto your rod REEL good! a 3/0 to 4/0 flipping hook will do the job. i suggest 30 to 50 lb. braid (no leader) on a med.hvy 71/2 ft. b/c rod with a 1/4 oz. (screw-in) bullet wt. this is a BIG fish bait. just ask robert lee the king of the ca. delta tournament's. this is also a great lure on lk. havasu and clear lake.

"No this is what really happen"
"I know I was just making sure you know"
Read. Take a grimmer class or 2 one related to story telling be helpful.
the definition of weapon is varied ,it can be knowlegde,a flying fortress or maybe religion...yup seeing that religion is the most desturctive weapon on earth^^
besides other poneglyph already give hints about other weapon like pluton,and we don`t know what the fuck is pluton anyway????????
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character"
T. Alan Armstrong
Ok, I just actually read the whole theory thing and good find Daz but moon people? That's too much for me.
Anyway, If it's some kind of technology or as FM believes in, a weapon strong enough to destroy the WG then why don't the WG use it instead or even tried to learn how to destroy it? Why do they have to kill all those Oharans when they can just abduct them and forced them to tell how to read ponyglphs. Sure it could be really hard to extract informations from them but it's still doable. When they got hold of Robin their priority was on reviving the ancient weapon which is also the long mission of CP9. They could have just dropped the mission in finding the blue prints and deliver Robin right away to the WG.
Those events tells us that OP is something that cannot be attained or hold possession of even by the greatest organization in the world which is the WG but someone special like Roger could have. So what does Roger had that enabled him to find OP that the rest of the world don't have? It is something that Luffy also possessed so we cannot say it's Roger's ability to hear all the voices of living things coz Luffy can't do that. Mihawk already hinted it.

"Guys I think this a something we should factor in, what gives those pirates their powers are devil fruits! Yeah you heard it from me first."
Stop sleeping in English class. Or at least pay attention when the teacher explains simple story telling.
Knowledge is power its why the WG keeps it from its citizen just like most nations dark ages, because keeping them from knowledge makes them easier to sway and control. Once the truth of the world is revealed the WG will not be able to control the masses. As for the legendary weapons like Pluton and Poseidon, they may not actually be weapons in the sense we think, but maybe keys to the way the world once was and the Will of D.
Pandaman FOR PRESDIENT
Why the WG keeps it a secret is no suprice they did something bad and they wane hide it in real life it's the same look at China all the war's they have failed non is remembered all the people they have killed it's all in the dark the reason why they killed the ohara's was not because they where to find the weapon it was to keep it all a secret
The will of D is probably the will of ancestors who fought in the void century, i"m guessing they where some kind of rebellion like the revolution army, they probably believed in freedom for every one and the WG wanted peace by ruling over every one
OP will fill every major plot hole left lol which might be a lot since there are so many that occur, so it will be something that will bring everything together the lost history the weapons the will of D all of it will become apparent which makes me think its a collection of things that Gol and his mates learned on there journey and thus enough knowledge to take down the WG. Hopefully it will aslo explain why they didnt reveal it to the world then and why he became sacrificed himself just to have someone else reach the same conclusions.

"The Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Book" is a trusted resource designed to help you understand breast cancer, make informed decisions about your care, and cope with the emotional and physical effects of diagnosis and treatment.
I know that many readers look for good resources and trusted information. This is one of the resources I use on a regular basis when working with women diagnosed with breast cancer.
The book is designed to demystify breast cancer and give you step by step, practical guidance and tools for what to do if you have a diagnosis of breast cancer.
The book's medical co-editors are renowned experts Charles L. Loprinzi, M.D., a breast cancer and oncology specialist, and Lynn C. Hartmann, M.D., a breast oncologist and researcher — both from the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.
Weaving in personal stories from breast cancer patients and survivors, "The Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Book" is organized into three parts:

Sheryl, My name is Holly Ruether. My husband and I started and run, a non-profit called My Bucket List. We grant bucket list wishes for terminally ill adults in Minnesota. Visit our website at www.mybucketlistmn.org or find us on Facebook under my bucket list
We have hundreds and hundreds of volunteers who donate time and resources to help fulfill wishes on terminally ill bucket lists.
Our problem is that we have a hard time getting people to submit their lists. Minnesota people are so humble and proud and hate to ask for help.
We have been featured in many newspapers and on Kare 11 twice.
We do not fundraise or solicit funds. We use the people in our network to help fulfill wishes. We do simple wishes...no trips out of state...but if you visit our facebook site, you will see stories of the wishes we have granted in just one short year. I'm hoping there is a way that you can help us get the word out at the mayo that we are here and ready to help terminally ill people fulfill their wishes
Joint pain is one of the most common complaints about the use of any of the aromatase inhibitors (the drug class that Arimidex (anastrazole) belongs to). These side effects are the most common reason that women stop taking these drugs. While only a minority of women suffer from this side effect, it can be debilitating. Fortunately, stopping the medication can typically alleviate the side effect. There are two other aromatase inhibitors on the market, exemestane and letrozole. Many women who experience joint aches and pains with one, can tolerate one of the other medications without similar side effects. In addition, there may be other treatments available instead of an aromatase inhibitor, including use of a selective estrogen receptor antagonist (such as tamoxifen). One last possibility is to evaluate if you really need this medication? What are the benefits for you in your particular situation and what are the side effects and do the benefits outweigh the side effects? Of course, any changes in your plan need to be fully discussed with the your cancer care team to make the right decision for you personally. You may also want to explore gentle exercise such as yoga or tai chi to help with flexibility and movement. Content was provided with input from Dr. Timothy Moynihan.
Thanks for share the information about Breast Cancer. today chest pain in women and heart disease is the most killer in USA. please tell me the best first aid for the heart attacks.
Just didn't have enough room to finish.I hope this will help you in some way . i live a full and fairly normal life...just don't go bungy jumping !!!!!!I certainly think it is worth you all with pain looking into things and speaking with your oncologists about maybe trying a change of brands. I will be interested to know how you go on>
I was so interested to read about your pain and side effects from aromatase ibhibitors and I sympathise with the pain you are going through. On the other hand, your posts have finally made me realise that I'm not imagining things and what I have insisted for the last 4 years may help you. I was diagnosed in Feb 2008 with breast cancer which has spread to my bones and after receiving radiation Iwas put on Tamoxifen. The oncologist wasn't satisfied with the results and changed my medication to Femara which I have been on ever since untill the clinic I get my drugs from changed their contracts and started purchasing other brands of inhibiters from Portugal and Malta. At first I didn't have any problems and then I started getting joint and linb pains. At first I thought it was arthritis or rheumatism, but the climate was warm and dry. Eventually I spoke to my oncologist and she wrote to my medical clinic that I must have Femara. I am assuming that because this brand is made in Switzerland it is more costly that others and the medical board refused to purchase this product.In the meantime I was feeling as though I was a hypochondriac and imagining things. My pharmacist insisted that all the different brands were the same. Finally they came up with a brand that is made localy by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and since I have been taking this brand I have had no pain or problems. Even though everyone insists that all brands have the same ingredients and therefore the same effect
Have been taking Arimidex for one year and half, and going nuts ever since. My hair is falling down, I have gain 30 pounds and all my articulations are painful. My quality of life is for the birds. Is it worthed to go through all that?
Very very difficult to endure five years of an aromatase inhibitor. I have tried all three and have had all of the same side effects as you are experiencing. I would love a handicap parking spot as it is so difficult to walk or go up and down stairs...I have a year and a half to go...my oncologist did something brilliant last spring. She let me come off it for two weeks and I started to feel like my old self so I know that there is and end point...and my end point is five years and that is it. I hate this medication but I am convinced that it is worth the five years feeling elderly. Weight gain is because it is so diffcult to move. I take Ambien at night...I have joined a YMCA deep water aerobic class that seems to help...the hour in the water is the only time nothing hurts. Have taken all kinds of pain pills and joint supplements...now I just take Motrin...good luck I SO know how you feel
I need to know what to do about the aromatase inhibitor which has aged me 20 years in the past year - bone pain, muscle pain, arthritis, carpel tunnel, hair loss, calcium leaching. Would someone please tell me how to deal with this? I am in constant pain, sleepless nights, difficult days. i almost think taking the risk of cancer reocurrance would be better than this horrible quality of life.

Silly Hairspray.It works amazing.
Honestly, I completely recommend this to anyone who wants a long lasting curl.
However, this curler requires much maitenence, as the hairspray (which you should be using in order to keep the curl, of course), sticks to the curler.
Eventually, residue will build up, sticking to your hair and getting gooey.
So, use anything from alcohol wipes to oven cleaner to clean this curler.
It's very nice on your hair, leaving beeeautiful curls that I love.
I have COMPLETELY straight hair, no waves at all, and when I wake up the next morning after curling my hair the day before, there's still a majority of the curls. :}

Just What My Hair Needed!Just received my 1" and had to test it out on the huge amount of fine hair I have. No product in my hair and this curling iron works wonders on even the low heat settings.
I did a ton (too much) of research on a middle on the road curling iron and felt like this best fit my needs. Exceeded my expectations and I'm THRILLED. So happy that I can't wait to get another size!Feb 12, 2011Claire / Bay Area, CAHAIR TYPEBlonde / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

"Education is the only tool we have. Cops can hold back the darkness, but educators can lead us back. Teachers light up the night. After the initial, 10 days off TV, then kids are put on a TV budget where they choose seven hours of programming. To deal with obesity over the long term you need behavior modification; without a steady diet of TV everyone thrives. Michigan has received a $2 million grant to be national distributors of the turn off TV campaign. In Chicago on Aug. 6-7 there is a national convention. The curriculum is offered to schools for free. There is a $100 registration fee for the conference and scholarships can be obtained for this fee. We can change the world," continued Lt. Col. Dave Grossman.
"We will reap what we have sown for years to come, but we can turn the train around, it can be a different world for our grandkids. Send someone to this conference. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You will walk out the door of the conference with everything you need to set up this program in your school.
"How does everything tie together, the music, the video games, the violent movies? Most of us won't be bullies, but we will live our lives in fear. How come nobody ever hitchhikes any more? It's because we're afraid. Our children until they are 7, 8 or 9 years of age, can't distinguish fantasy from reality. Everything they see is real to them.
"Cops see horrible things every day. Would you want to bring your young child along for the next dead body? It's real to them. If you wouldn't want them at a crime scene in person then why would you let them watch it on TV. To them it is real. Fear empowers the bully. Young children know they can die, they've seen it on TV. Many of our kids are living in fear. The bully tells them, if you tell anyone, I'll kill you. We live our lives in fear. Trust is gone. Kids learn fear at a young age.
"With music, never in human history have they sought this music they are seeking today. They take every despicable act of violence and turn it into a song, that's what you are getting today and it's sick and pathological. Studies have proven that music has an effect on behavior. Music is a powerful social tool that reaffirms what's going on in society. Music reaffirms a set of values. Patriotic music, spiritual music, all reaffirm a set of values. Violent music reaffirms violent behavior and feeds it back to us. That's what kids were fed with at an early stage. Music is a symptom of the disease. It's not the disease, it is an ugly symptom of the disease that was introduced years ago. We need to have the moral courage to say that's not right. We need someone to say it's wrong. If not, then you give them permission to proceed. I worked with Bill Cosby, he is a remarkable human, and he is wise and kind. He wrote comedy shows and he has a PhD in education, his son was violently killed while stopped to change a flat tire. He told us that it's our job to catch kids. He said his dad never knocked on their bedroom door he just burst into a room. He said it's your job to tell kids that's not right. But, they might not be getting the violence at your house. But, what games are they playing at the neighbors. You might be a good parent, but what are they watching at the neighbors. If your neighbor's not doing the right thing, then someone somewhere will pay the price. We didn't get to where we are overnight, it's been building up over the last 50 years. In the 1950s the murder rate doubled in a brief period of time. The Center for Disease control did an epidemiological study to see what could be the cause. The murder rate went up first in the east and then in the west; in the cities first and then the country; in the white population and then in the blacks; in the United States and then in Canada. The CDC they looked at every factor they could and every variable. They looked at gun control, poverty, fluoride in the water. This was when TV appeared, first in the east, then in the west, first with whites; then later black people got TVs, the United States had TV first, then Canada. Within the first 15 years after TV appeared, the murder rate doubled. Every time wherever it appeared, kids have been traumatized and fed a steady diet of violence. Fifteen years later you reap what you sow. Media violence hearings were held in Congress as far back as 1952. Scientists said we would pay a price and we have," said Grossman.
Grossman made it clear he was talking about childhood exposure to violence. Not adults. Child abuse inflicted on a child. "There are things adults can do that kids can't. Watching violence is one of them. Long term childhood exposure to violence has its consequences.
"If TV had never been invented the study says there would be 10,000 fewer homicides each year. People ask me why are you so passionate about this and I ask them how can they not be passionate. I have worked on this for 11 years since retiring from the army. I am on the road 300 days a year. People send me emails that say violent video games have no effect on behavior and then they tell me, 'what you do makes me so mad, I want to kill you.' I have received death threats. The media is doing the same thing the army does, teaching kids to kill. Hollywood tried to talk me out of doing what I am doing.
"There is a despair in someone who is gasping their last breath due to a murder, their lives stolen away by a murderer. I was there at Virginia Tech hours after the massacre. In the photographs of the victims it showed a horror, knowing they would never see their loved ones again, knowing they would never accomplish the things they wanted to in their lives. Ten thousand murders a year that never would have happened 10,000 people a year that would never have to have felt those feelings of having their lives slip away. The pain of their families and loved ones upon learning about the murder. Take that 10,000 and times it by all the years since 1950 and you tell me why you are not passionate. This is worthy of your passion.
"Violence sells, it is a big industry. It is priming people for violence. It is drug dealer mentality, but even drug dealers don't sell to little kids. Some people say well it's the parent's job to keep the kids away from this stuff. But, why, we have laws in other areas to help keep kids safe. We have seat belt laws, we have car seat laws, we have laws that you can't buy alcohol until 21, you can't drive until you're 16, you can't buy a gun when you're a kid. Why don't we have laws against this. A kid can't go into a pawn shop and buy a gun and then a pint of liquor and you don't say that it's the parents job to keep them out of the liquor store. There are laws against it. It's child abuser logic. Don't let them get away with it. We are fighting violent, visual imagery marketed to children, that's what we are fighting, marketing to kids.
"In February of 1998 I retired from the army. I was out of town and I got a call from my aunt that there was a mass murder in Jonesborough Ark. at the middle school and it was unknown how many dead. It was the worst feeling of horror. My son went to middle school in Jonesborough, Ark. My aunt wanted me to go and help. So I went to the school. I didn't know there were two middle schools. It wasn't my son's school it was the other school. I offered to help. We set up in the gymnasium and right outside the door to the gymnasium there was the blood congealing from the victims. Two boys ages 11 and 13 had stole weapons and pulled the fire alarm, as the girls came rushing out of the gym, the shooters waited until the door locked behind them, and then they opened fire killing 13 girls and a teacher.
"One of the counselors who had been at the hospital with the families came into the gym and she needed to talk. She had been at the hospital all day and the families were there in sobbing masses as the doctors would come out and tell them their child had died. There was one woman sitting alone, no friends, no family, no husband. She was just sitting there staring into the distance. The counselor asked if she could help her. The lady sitting alone, said, they called me and told me my little girl is dead. How do I get my baby back? She was told that all those killed had been sent to Little Rock and to call them and after they were done testing they would send the body to a funeral home of her choice. The mother couldn't afford a funeral. That baby was all she had in the world. She had hugged that baby and sent her off to school and that's the last time she saw her all warm and cuddly. She trusted us, she sent her into the world and we failed to keep her safe, we failed that mom, we failed those parents. We need to lead the kids home, we need to love them enough to take action. Education is the only transformation tool we have. God bless you and God bless America," concluded Grossman.

The Perfect Pump!
"I love these pumps! They are so soft and comfortable and they fit like a glove. They are a little narrow so I wouldn't recommend them if you have wide feet. The one thing that I wish these shoes had was a rubber sole like the Gucci flats, but I will just put a non slip pad on the very slippery soles and I will be all set to strut my stuff :)"

If there is one word that best describes the Class of 2013 at Valor Christian High School, Fonda Kempton, the school's director of college guidance, would have to choose the word "unity."
"Even though it's our biggest class yet, they are very unified," Kempton said. "They are great about doing things together. It's impressive to see."
The class, which boasts 176 graduates, may have defined itself best through athletic dominance, and according to Kempton, has 26 student-athletes that have signed to continue their playing careers at the collegiate level.
No athletic program left a bigger mark than football, in which Valor seniors earned state championships in Class 3A in 2009, Class 4A in 2010 and 2011 and Class 5A in 2012. And while many will remember this flock of Eagles for their athletic prowess, Kempton will remember a variety of things about this group.
At the top of the list likely would be the growth the students displayed through the variety of mission trips taken throughout their time at the school.
"I think that the experience helps them to understand the world a lot better," Kempton said. "Working with people in need starts a lifelong desire in many of them to serve and you see it so often when these kids are applying to colleges that they are asking what kind of study-abroad and mission programs are available."
The fourth class in school history will be represented in the fall at NYU Abu Dhabi, Boston College, Pepperdine, Penn State and Vanderbilt, just to name a few.
VCHS Class of 2013 fast facts:
Commencement: 4 p.m., May 31 at Cherry Hills Community Church
Total Enrollment: 822
Graduating Class Size: 176
Mascot: Swoop the Eagle
Class Officers: Executive Council President: Ben Lorden; Senior Class President: Delaney Bryant; Senior Class Representatives: Courtney Camden and Tim Werder

Directions to Markos VillageAddress: Ios 84001, Cylcades, Ios, Greece
Average rating: 92%
Rooms from: US$ 28.15
Directions to Markos Village
Markos Village is at a distance of 1km from Ios Port of the traditional Village. The distance from the beach is 1km and the bus station is 100 meters from the hotel. The Hotel is close to night life, bars, restaurants, shops and banks. Markos village is located in Chora, in the heart of nightlife and 5 minutes by bus to Mylooptas beach and port. Next to the hotel, there is basketball and volleyball. From Markos village there is easy access to all parts of the greater Ios area using public transportation means such as bus and taxi. The Port of Ios is at the head of the Ormos harbor in the northwest. From there the bus or 15-minute walk up the steep donkey path takes you to the village, known as Chora. This is a white and very picturesque cycladic village, full of stairs and narrow walks, that makes it inaccessible for cars of any kind. Today, the main path through this village is completely taken over by tourism in terms of restaurants, boutiques, bars and discotheques. Apart from the port and the village of Chora, Ios has only a few small settlements, just a group of spread out houses in the background of major beaches (Theodoti, Kalamos, Manganari). Since the 1990s the island mayor Pousseos has worked on Ios development towards attracting different types of tourists. You can access Ios taking a boat from the Port of Piraeus within approximately 8 hours or by a speedboat from the port of Rafina. There are regular itineraries all through the year. The nearest airport is located in Santorini island, which is 1 hour away by boat.

Aquatalia Shoes and Boots
"I have all three styles. Usually order in size 10 and they are perfect. These were a bit large but I don't care. Will put a pad inside. Love the style, fit over all, quality of the shoe."

What a steal
"I've heard great things about Aquatalia, but because they are usually too expensive, I've never been able to purchase a pair... until now! Although these boots are still rather pricey, they are a steal compared to their regular price... and I've had them for about a month and I love them. They are high, but don't feel that high due to the platform. Plus, I've sometimes had trouble walking in platforms, but not in these -- they are very comfortable and easy to walk in, even after a long day. They have a nice chunky (but not too chunky heel), and the toe shape is feminine and stylish (a little pointier than almond, which is perfect). You can tell they are made from quality materials. Every time I wear them, I can't believe I'm wearing $400 boots! I just love them."

Due to extremely dry conditions and volatility of vegetation throughout the state, Utah State Forester Joel Frandsen has issued a ban on the use of fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices on all state lands. The ban will take effect at 12:01 a.m., June 30, 2006, and remain in effect until rescinded.
"It's only prudent to take this action at this time as evident by the number and size of wildland fires occurring on a daily basis in the state," said Frandsen. "Our wildlands right now are vulnerable to damaging and costly forest and range fires."
The use of fireworks are already prohibited on federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and USDA Forest Service. This restriction order does not affect incorporated towns and cities and people are encouraged to check with local authorities concerning the use of fireworks in their communities.
Although the use of fireworks is restricted, the only general fire restriction order in effect at this time is in Washington County. Nevertheless, fire managers remind everyone to be especially diligent in their use of fire.
For tips on fire use and the latest wildland fire information go to www.utahfireinfo.gov.

I just discovered a new artist and wallpaper designer, Dan Funderburgh through the recent post from Felt and Wire — pretty amazing!
For his first museum exhibition, artist and wallpaper designer Dan Funderburgh was invited by the Montclair Art Museum to create a site-specific installation in The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation Art Stairway that would complement the exhibition Warhol and Cars: American Icons. Much like Warhol, Funderburgh is an artist who straddles the worlds of fine art and design. He is best known for his detailed configurations of utilitarian objects that form dense ornate patterns adorning such diverse media as wallpaper, luggage, furniture, high-heeled shoes, and skateboards.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Emery Spartans dominated the North Sanpete Hawks in the first half of basketball to win their fourth region contest. Emery held the Hawks to 8 points in each of the first two quarters while scoring 15 and 21 points respectively to lead by 20 points at the break.
Senior Vic Rosen had a good first period as he scored three times inside as he was often in the right place at the right time. Rosen and Darrin Winn owned the paint in this game as they collected the rebounds, blocked shots and kept the Hawks from doing any damage inside.
Emery executed both offensively and defensively in the second quarter as they broke open a close game. North Sanpete, playing under a new head coach, did not have answers in the second period to combat the Emery onslaught. Emery finished the game with 14 steals and eight blocks.
All six Emery players that normally see playing time in varsity games scored in that first half. Rosen led the way with 10 points.
To start the third quarter, Dave Justice took the ball to the hoop the first two times down court and scored 4 points to put Emery up by 24 points. Seven straight North Sanpete points dampened the Emery fan enthusiasm for about 30 seconds as Emery responded with 8 straight points of their own to grab a 25-point lead. Winn led the Emery effort with 6 points.
The final period left Emery fans irritated as North Sanpete came out in a press and got very physical with the Emery players. The play seemed to be by design and Emery fans wanted more fouls called on the seemingly dirty play of the Hawks. Despite the endless contact, Emery players only shot 8 free throws in that period. One Emery fan used the word thuggery to describe their style of play.
North Sanpete outscored Emery in that final quarter 20-15 as Coach Jeffs went to the bench early in the period and North Sanpete still had starters on the floor at the end.
Four Spartans finished the game in double figures. Winn led the way with 14 points. Winn also finished with seven rebounds and five blocked shots. Rosen and Kyler Edgehouse each finished the game with 12 points. Rosen was the team leader in rebounds as he finished with eleven.
Josh Eden hit three 3-pointers and was one for two at the free throw line to finish with 10 points.
Justice finished the game with 9 points and five assists. Dempsey Jeffs hit a pair of three-pointers and was two for two at the free throw line to finish with 8 points.
Kade Jones hit a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter and sophomore Skyler Jorgenson hit a free throw to close out the Emery scoring.

Snug Rain Boot
"It was one of only three styles available at the store. While it was a bit snug around the foot, it had a great balance of weight compared to the others. The shaft was snug around the calf as well, so those with thicker calves may find this too tight. With thick socks it might be too tight but with washable insoles, it's just fine. I wear a 8.5/9 in shoes and a 9 in this shoe was snug. They didn't have 10 or I'd try that."

LUNESTA® (eszopiclone) is the #1 prescription branded sleep aid‡ with over 31 million prescriptions written to date. Some sleep aids are approved to help you fall asleep and others to help you stay asleep. LUNESTA is approved to do both.*
*In clinical studies LUNESTA was proven effective to help the majority of patients with insomnia fall asleep quickly and stay asleep for up to 7 hours. Individual results may vary.
‡Based on the number of prescriptions for brand name sleep aids only. Does not include generic products. Source: PHAST Prescription Monthly, July-December 2011, All Payment Types, USC5 67220 and 67290.
Do not take more LUNESTA than prescribed. LUNESTA acts quickly, so take it right before bed, and only if you have 7-8 hours to devote to sleep. Do not take LUNESTA if you are allergic to anything in it. LUNESTA should not be taken together with alcohol or other sedative hypnotics. The morning after you take LUNESTA your ability to drive safely and think clearly may be decreased. Until you know how you will react to LUNESTA, you should not drive or perform other activities that require complete mental alertness the day after use. Call your doctor if your insomnia worsens or is not better within 7 to 10 days. This may mean that there is another condition causing your sleep problems. LUNESTA may cause serious side effects that you may not know are happening to you including daytime sleepiness, not thinking clearly, acting strangely, confused or upset, or walking, eating, driving or engaging in other activities while asleep. Other abnormal behaviors include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations and confusion. In depressed patients, worsening of depression including risk of suicide may occur. These risks may increase if you drink alcohol. Severe allergic reactions such as swelling of the tongue and throat occur rarely and may be fatal. Call your doctor if you experience these or any effects or reactions that concern you. LUNESTA, like most sleep medicines, carries some risk of dependency. Side effects may include unpleasant taste, headache, morning drowsiness and dizziness.
Lunesta® (eszopiclone) is a prescription sleep medicine used in adults for the treatment of a sleep problem called insomnia. Symptoms of insomnia include trouble falling asleep and waking up often during the night.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. For more information, please see the LUNESTA Medication Guide and Full Prescribing Information.

Tournament Preview
Soft Southwest for Jayhawks?
by Ken Pomeroy
Southwest Regional
All games played at the Alamodome in San Antonio
Kansas advanced to the Sweet 16 as expected and while they didn't look quite as overpowering as Ohio State in their 80 minutes of tournament action, they benefited greatly from action elsewhere in the Southwest bracket. While the Jayhawks drew a 12-seed for Friday's game, the other half of the bracket features the first ever 10 vs. 11 matchup in tournament history. Keep in mind, though, that even with the greased skids there's a one-in-three chance that Kansas doesn't make it to Houston, which means there's a one-in-three chance of a double-digit seed representing this quarter of the bracket.
Log5 odds
Seed Elite8 Final4 Final Champ Prev
1 Kansas 81.1 66.3 42.8 19.8 12.4
10 Florida St. 64.2 17.6 5.9 1.2 0.09
12 Richmond 18.9 9.7 3.0 0.5 0.06
Odds for the entire Sweet 16 are here.
(12) Richmond vs. (1) Kansas (Friday, 7:27 on TBS)
The Jayhawks made 23-of-40 two-point attempts against Illinois, a performance that seemed to have erased most people's memories of the lackluster effort in the quasi-exhibition against Boston U to open their tournament run. The Spiders depend on the Princeton system, albeit a watered down version of it. Chris Mooney's team doesn't get many offensive boards, but they don't completely neglect the offensive glass, either. They'll use up a lot of the shot clock, but 25 teams played slower this season. They score a lot off the pass, but they have players that score off the dribble occasionally, as well. They take a lot of threes, but don't depend on them as heavily as Mooney's Air Force teams did.
As it has always been under Self, there will be three-point shots available for the opposition. Sure, Kansas has held opponents to under 30 percent shooting from beyond the arc. I'm not saying Richmond can expect warmup-style looks, but at least a third of their shots should be threes. And there's a fair chance they could meet their season average of making 40 percent of those looks. That would lead to a pretty nice offense even without many offensive boards or efficiency inside the arc. The advantage the Jayhawks own is having two Morrises, while Richmond only has one Harper (Justin) to defend them. Richmond can put five shooters on the floor and they'll have to shoot well to keep up with Kansas.
(11) Virginia Commonwealth vs. (10) Florida State (Friday, 9:57 on TBS)
Who knew the Seminoles could make it so far with so little offense? I for one welcome a Final Four run from a team with an offense that ranks outside the top 100 nationally. It certainly would increase the number of teams given hope to go far in the tournament in the future.
How effective is Florida State's defense? On the season, they've held opponents to 39.9 percent accuracy on two-point shots. There were four teams this season that gave up a higher figure on three-point attempts. For good measure, FSU ranks in the nation's top ten in three-point defense as well.
Then there's VCU, who brings a defense outside the top 100 into this contest. The Rams' offense was rightly celebrated in a comprehensive takedown of Purdue in the round of 32. The 1.43 points scored per possession was 15 percent higher than any team had posted on the Boilermakers this season and the best offensive performance against Purdue since Matt Painter has been a coach there.
I'll nominate the presence of Chris Singleton as the most overrated storyline of the tournament's first week. Singleton played for 26 minutes in the Seminoles' first two tournament games, and while he gives the defense a boost, it was doing very well without him. And offensively, Singleton isn't as much of a factor as people seem to think. He figures to get even more minutes against VCU, but his presence doesn't change the fact that this a battle of strength-on-strength (VCU's offense against FSU's defense) and weakness-on-weakness (VCU's defense against FSU's offense). Most of the nation's eyeballs are going to be on Ohio State and Kentucky during this game, but there is some reason to take a peek at this one during NAPA commercials.

A proposed abandoned mine reclamation project that would seal about 200 open abandoned mines in the San Rafael Mining District in Emery County will be discussed at an open house at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale, 96 North 100 East on March 24 from 4-7 p.m. The Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program is proposing to conduct the reclamation project in the late summer and fall of 2009.
"This project would safeguard hazardous openings at abandoned mines that look inviting and have even been advertised as exciting adventures to explore," said Lucia Malin, program administrator. "Nothing could be further from the truth. Abandoned mines have hidden hazards such as unexpected vertical drop offs, collapsing roofs and unstable sides, high levels of radiation, lack of oxygen or pockets of toxic gases. People who enter them are being foolhardy," continued Malin. "Our message is Stay Out and Stay Alive - we are closing these mines as fast as we can but people need to know that they are not safe to enter."
The public is invited to attend the open house to learn more about the project.

Yakima Employees Taking Pay Freezes
Several managers within the City of Yakima departments are taking a pay freeze for next year.
City Manager Tony O'Rourke, who is also affected by the freeze, says it will save about 115 thousand dollars.
The pay freeze is part of the city's 2013 budget plan, which was approved earlier this week.
O'Rourke says he hopes to encourage more employees to have their pay frozen.


text: June 25, 2013 STEUBENVILLE, OH—"We're meant to be bringing the Logos to touch people," said Father Francis Martin at the 2013 Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat at Franciscan University of Steubenville.Talking about the power of the Word of God, Father Martin, renowned Scripture scholar and professor emeritus of New Testament at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., said that the clergy must strive to fight the deterioration of society."We cannot stand by. It could get scarier, but we just have to say, 'I might not have the guts to go to jail or get killed, but if I'm supposed to do that, You'll be there—and I can rely on You,'" said Father Martin, who has been a leading speaker at this retreat for many years.Held June 17 to 21, the retreat offered daily Mass, opportunities for confession, eucharistic adoration, and praise and worship, plus ample time for quiet prayer and fellowship.Bishop Jeffrey Monforton of the Diocese of Steubenville, discussed how the world's standards divide people into categories by emphasizing love of friends and hatred of enemies. "We are not to discriminate in our love, our priestly, ministerial service because the Son of God unconditionally loves," he explained. "Jesus points out clearly that our human activity must exceed world standards."Dr. John Bergsma and Dr. Scott Hahn, both Franciscan University theology professors, converts to Catholicism and popular speakers, spoke on the reality of spiritual warfare within the clergy in their talks.Bergsma focused on sacrament of confession as being one of the main tools for spiritual warfare in the Catholic life. Describing the stereotypical view of confession, including the uninteresting Saturday afternoons, dust motes floating in the nearly-silent church, and sleepy, solemn penitents, he explained that there is so much more going on than meets the human eye."It doesn't seem very exciting," he said. "But if we saw with the eyes of faith, we would hear the clash of shield and buckler on sword and spear. We would hear the screams of the spirits and the breaking of chains as people are experiencing release and freedom in the spiritual life. That's the vision we need to communicate to the Catholic people."Similarly, Hahn stressed the significance of seeing liturgical worship as spiritual warfare."Every Mass we celebrate the liturgy of the Word and the Sacrament," said Hahn. "Every liturgy is a celebration and a participation in this unspeakable, this ineffable mystery of Divine love that is life-giving."He encouraged participants to stay strong in their vocations and never to give up hope, mentioning Christ's words, "And so it is, when two or three come together 'in my Name, I am with them.'""Nobody enters the priesthood because this is something of a reward," he added. "No: it is a remedy. Not only for the weaknesses of the laity, but for yours as well. To give you what you need, what we need, to make up for what you lack and what we lack as laypeople. But the joy together in Eucharistic adoration is what not only makes us sons of God, but will take us from grace to glory and make us saints."Father Sean Sheridan, TOR, president of Franciscan University thanked the clergy for coming to participate in the retreat."We as men who have been called by God in a very special way to witness to our Faith… makes me think of the stories in the Gospel of how Jesus called the first disciples," he said. "And the quick response we see from so many of them—that they dropped their nets and followed the Lord. Dropping our nets is something we have done to be able to be here. To be able to follow what God has asked each one of us to do."The retreat-goers found the blend of talks and prayer time to be remarkably inspiring."I've been coming for 30 years," said Father Bryan Eyman, a Byzantine Catholic priest of the Eparchy of Parma in Ohio. "It's great teaching, great fellowship."Tom Marshall of Gardner, Massachusetts, who will be ordained a deacon in two years, said this is his first time at the retreat and that it was "very spiritual and very uplifting.""It's definitely very sustaining," he said. "This gives me something to take back to my diaconate classes."Upcoming Franciscan University summer conferences include the St. John Bosco Conference for Catholic Educators (July 17-21), the Applied Biblical Studies Conference for anyone seeking a deeper knowledge and understanding of Scripture (July 24-26), and the Defending the Faith Conference, which focuses on Catholic apologetics (July 26-28).For more information, including a complete list of conferences for adults and youth, visit www.steubenville.org/

Campagnolo wisely stepped into the external bearing crankset market a bit late. The reason is they made sure that their Ultra-Torque design was truly ready and would provide a service life that we, the consumers, would expect from the company from Vincenza. You can find it not only at the Super Record level, but all the way down the line, including this Record 11 Ultra-Torque Carbon Crankset. It's a simple, practical design that is unique in the component world. It's lightweight, beautiful, and strong, signifying all that Campagnolo stands for. They've further refined the design, making it lighter and improving the shifting.
If the Super Record 11 Crankset is Campagnolo's cost-is-no-object option, the Record 11 Crankset is the cost-is-only-a-small-consideration choice. In every detail, the Super Record 11 and Record 11 cranksets are identical, save one. While the Super Record 11 is equipped with the same Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology (CULT) bearings used in the Bora Ultra Two and Hyperon Ultra Two wheelsets, the Record 11 takes a more cost effective approach. In place of the CULT bearings are Campagnolo's Ultra Smooth Bearings (USB). Like CULT, USB bearings are 5/32" ceramic balls housed in a low-drag technopolymer cage. But the bearing grade (as measured by their sphericity, i.e. their absolute roundness) isn't quite as extreme, and they lack the Cronitect races. Other than the bearing distinction, the Record 11 Crankset is the twin to the Super Record 11.
The 53/39 and 50/34 rings you see are still round, but take a look at the shift pins. This is where you'll find the first sign that the rings have been re-engineered for faster shifting. Campagnolo calls this their XPSS, eXtreme Performance Shifting System. There are now eight dedicated sectors for upshifting, with ramps and pins working in conjunction with a new tooth profile. But up is only half the story. They've also optimized two new down-shifting sectors, with the new tooth profile working with ramps on the way down as well.
In terms of simplifying, they've removed the chainring nut from the chainring fixing equation. The rings are held to the crankset by five hard anodized alloy bolts that go through the big ring and thread directly into the small chain ring -- easier and lighter.
Then they turned their attention to their Ultra-Torque bottom bracket spindle. They relieved some metal from low stress areas to lower the overall weight without sacrificing either stiffness or fatigue life.
All told, the smart redesign has yielded a weight savings of 16g compared to the previous generation Record with no other loss anywhere in the equation.
The Campagnolo Super Record 11 Ultra-Torque Carbon Crankset has unidirectional Carbon-Fiber crankarms with Dark Grey anodized chainrings and Black bolts. Campagnolo ceramic USB (Ultra Smooth Bearings) bearings are installed on both arms. The available chain ring options are a standard (135mm bolt circle diameter) with 53/39 rings or a compact (110mm bcd) with 50/34 rings. Crankarm lengths are 170, 172.5, and 175mm.
