Fresh off the plane from Havana, where he officiated at Jewish wedding ceremonies for 28 couples, Rabbi Shmuel Szteinhendler eagerly recounts how his visits to that small but vibrant island community began. It was January 1992 – the first of the 115+ visits he has made to Cuba on JDC's behalf. He encountered a few young people, who seemed then to comprise "all of Cuban Jewish youth." They were holding a faded hand-lettered sign proclaiming Am Israel BeCuba Hai – "The Jewish People in Cuba are Alive." In the two decades that followed, this Latin American rabbi came to see this phrase as his challenge, the driving force behind the mission entrusted to him by JDC—to teach, inspire, and conduct religious services and life-cycle celebrations for this resurgent Jewish community.Now, on this latest visit, he and other rabbis came to formalize the Jewish status of a group of community members, following classes conducted by local teachers trained by JDC professionals "from the moment we started our program on the island." "Here I recover my dignity," said one class participant. "I now am who I wish to be, proud to be Jewish."For so many community members, this was an assertion they could not comfortably make when religious restrictions were in place on the island (1960-1991)."The millennial chain that binds one generation with another was being restored," wrote the rabbi in describing the formal ceremonies that he and his colleagues conducted, "and we were a part of that historic moment." The community wide celebration that followed overflowed with emotion, but the excitement rose even higher as the weddings drew near. Seven ceremonies were held in one day at the Sephardic Hebrew Center, the first Jewish weddings to be celebrated there in 55 years. The next day, 20 more weddings were scheduled to be held at the Patronato Synagogue, but then JDC's resident representatives chose to add their names to the list. The couple had decided that they too wanted to "build their Jewish home" here, with community members standing in for far away family and friends. "The great synagogue of the Patronato was decorated as never before," related the rabbi. "There were special carpets, lights, some 450 guests, and a big chuppah (wedding canopy), which covered the 21 couples. Brides wore wedding dresses; men dressed in their finest clothes, some even in tuxedos. We could not believe our eyes. The ceremonies followed one after another, each one giving life to the words of the traditional Hebrew blessings."In the end, 28 chuppot were conducted, creating 28 new Jewish families. Pointing out that the Hebrew letters that represent the number 28 coincide with the word koach or strength, Rabbi Szteinhendler concluded that "strength is exactly what these families injected into community life and our people: strength, courage, vigor, and passion."And in the spirit of the occasion, he added, "Lejaim! AM ISRAEL BECUBA HAI!"

Media Centers
Media centers allow you a stylish and sophisticated way to store your television and all of your electronics. With enough room for a flat-screen television, Blu-ray or DVD players, video game consoles and all of the accessories that come with electronics, a media center certainly simplifies your living space so you are able to sit back, relax, and enjoy home media in comfort. When choosing media centers, you should keep a few things in mind so you make the best choice for your living room or den.>/p>
Choosing a media stand or console might seem a little tough at first, but after you take the tape measure out, it should be simple and easy. Make sure that you pick a media console that fits your space well. Not only measure the wall and area where the media console will go, but also measure the distance from the console to your sofa or recliner, or where you primarily watch TV or play games. These measurements assist you when purchasing all of your living room furniture, and ensuring that you are enjoying movies and shows at a good angle.
Another thing to keep in mind when choosing a media center is the color. Ensure that it already complements existing decor. If you are in the process of completely redoing your living room from top to bottom, instead of trying to match media consoles with existing furniture, you may want to opt for all new living room furniture. This includes new bookcases, shelving, coffee tables and your media console. Pottery Barn has a large selection of collections that match and complement each other so that your decor has a common theme. Remember that a room with white or light walls might do well with darker furniture. Walls of dens and family rooms that are a little bit darker are brightened up with white, gray and light beige furniture. Because a media console has the possibility of being the largest piece of furniture in the room, matching is important to create an overall effect.
Those with children or large pets at home may also want to take that into account when looking at media consoles. Be sure to protect small kids such as toddlers from bumping into sharp corners or knocking over televisions and other electronics that are too close to the edge. Look for a media console that is designed in a hutch style. These larger media centers have doors and drawers with magnetic locks, so it's a little tougher for a curious toddler to get inside. They also have high shelving, so you are able to place prized possessions out of baby's reach. These types of consoles also allow you to place a flat-screen television far enough away from little hands, or offer space for you to mount the television on the wall, completely out of baby's vicinity. Large dogs may also have a tendency to bump into furniture, so always keep this in mind when making a new purchase.
Depending on your space at home, a media center is also a terrific complement to your home office. Invite clients over to watch projections on a large-screen television, or use a media center to hold computer items and accessories that you need for your business. It's simple to match up colors and materials between home office and living room furniture. Deep, cherry woods and sleek black are excellent colors for use in a home office. A hutch, desk or matching office chair has the ability to really complete a room, turning your home office into a private, comfortable sanctuary.

Topic: restrict access to some, but not all subdirectories
Hi People of Ruby and Rails,
I am a complete nub when it comes to ruby and I have only just started it so please have some patience with me.
I was wondering if it would be possible to limit access to a certain subdirectory for a specific user as in the following scenario:
- user logs in
- user has been given access to subfolder_1 and subfolder_2, but not to subfolder_3 and subfolder_4
- user can access the files (jpg, png, gif, pdf) in subfolder_1 and 2 but not in 3 and 4.
- user 2 can log and acces subfolder_1 and subfolder_3, but not 2 and 4.
Is this possible? Could anyone point me in the right direction, possibly by posting the right google search words?

Skip to comments.The Big Bang Never Happened
Posted on 03/07/2011 1:44:47 PM PST by wendy1946
In nine parts on YouTube
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 8
Part 9
That's simply not true. I watch it every Thursday night at 8.
The thing which is really ridiculous is that a certain number of Christians apparently including at least one pope, no sooner hear about the "big bang" idea then they think to themselves "Gee, that's GREAT! Another creation story, just a little matter of about (17,000,000,000 - 6000) years difference from ours, we ought to be able to come up with some sort of a fudge factor!!"
The problem: Having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the mother of all black holes; nothing would ever bang its way out of that.
Likewise for a supposedly omniscient and omnipotent God to suddenly figure out it would be a cool thing to do to create a universe (6000 years ago or 17,000,000,000, doesn't matter) while the idea had never occurred to him previously, is basically idiotic. Big Bang is bad physics and bad theology rolled up into a package.
What the evidence seems to suggest is that the universe is basically eternal, like God, and that the creation stories we read in ancient literature refer to the creation of our own system and local environment, and not to the entire universe. Our LIVING world, at least in its present conformation, does in fact appear to be ballpark for some sort of a 6000 - 10000 year age; the planet viewed as a collection of rocks is older than that.
This video is better than the tv show.
Perhaps. What exactly is your ping list about? And is it a high or low volume ping list?
Interesting theory, and intriguing as well.
There are a couple of problems, such as the impossibility of a concrete but infinite number of "moments" prior to now,
and the problem of "fitting" Gen 1:16 (" He also made the stars.") into the theory.
But it was an intriguing thought nonetheless.
The problem is that people do not know their history!
The big bang theory was proposed by a priest.
Georges LeMaitre - other wise known as the House. :)
Well I guess somebody ought to tell Paris Hilton to stop looking for it.
12,000 years ~ current standard for cutting stone BTW.
This video features several interviews with Lerner.
Low volumn, mostly about evolution, Intelligent Design and the like.
bfl/pfl?? Culture gap or something...
back for later/ping for later
See, it is still all relative because....
In the central time zone it is on at 7:00.
I'm not sure including Eric Lerner and his "infinitely old universe" theory, fits your agenda.
I would like to see someone correlate the observational evidence for the theorists. Maybe Arp can get some movement.
His explanation of the cosmic microwave background being created by a "cosmic fireball" is pretty weak. You'd think in 10 years he would've come up with something better.
Cosmic Background isn't any sort of a major thing in Arp's work. He's noted for discovering pairs of things, typically galaxies and quasars, which radically differing redshifts and yet which are very clearly joined together and are part and parcel of the same things, i.e. he's known for destroying the idea of interpreting cosmic redshift as recession velocity and hence also as distance.
well, that dating certainly comports with the hard facts of human recorded history as we know it...yes there is a whole industry of "prehistory" but really, it all gets pretty fuzzy (understatement) about 4,000 BC. About 4,000 BC it seems like all of a sudden, we can start to see what is happening out there in the world, from a historical perspective, in terms of human action.
The Basic Non Evolution of Modern Man in case you might have missed it... More than usually interesting is Gunnar Heinsohn's claim of no evidence for Neanderthals which can be legitimately dated to anything further than about 4000 years back.
So, are you a Biblical creationist?
I am.
But I think it would be especially interesting to hear from folks who accept much of the Biblical dating, but don't necessarily buy the whole thing. I am very open minded in that regard and eager to know what others are thinking in this fascinating world of "forbidden archaeology".
That's true, if the pre-bang singularity was all the matter in the universe, but since matter and energy are interchangeable, the "mother of all black holes" can also be the "mother of all energetic events" if rather than matter (which didn't even exist until after the bang) our "singularity" was a point of unimaginable energy.
I think most scientifically minded theists can see that there was an explosion of some kind...Fundamentalist religious nuts have ignored science all through history and attacked the messenger until evidence (that the world was round, orbited the sun, was not the center of the universe, etc) was no longer deniable.
To this day there are deadly earnest people who will tell you God made the Earth a few thousand years ago pre-packaged with dinosaur fossils to sift those with lukewarm faith from the fanatics.
That said, while I regard religion with a healthy dose of mistrust, the premise that all that all of *this* simply "happened" makes atheism look even more ridiculous.
When I see a pattern of ripples on a lake, I know that something disturbed the water at its epicenter. When you see the exact same pattern in the cosmos, you can bet your last dollar that something similar happened in space.
That said, who's really made the bigger leap of faith? The scientist so awed by Creation that he finds God at the heart of the big bang, or the one who tries to twist the numbers to fit a theory that will forever be unprovable that says it was all random chance?
Just like the fundamentalist who sees an effort by God to trick people with dinosaur bones, I'd submit that the second scientist in the example above is a zealot and a fool.
Regardless of his contributions to star theory, he was a steady-statist
until he died about a decade ago, even as new theories and data to
explain the accelerating expansion of the Universe came in.
-—Our LIVING world, at least in its present conformation, does in fact appear to be ballpark for some sort of a 6000 - 10000 year age; the planet viewed as a collection of rocks is older than that. -—
Sorry, what do you mean by 'living' world? Are you implying that the first life-forms appeared on earth within the last 10,000 years?
Maybe they didn't believe in marriage so all were illegitimate? : )
Haha, good one.:-)
"Hes noted for discovering pairs of things, typically galaxies and quasars, which radically differing redshifts and yet which are very clearly joined together and are part and parcel of the same things, i.e. hes known for destroying the idea of interpreting cosmic redshift as recession velocity and hence also as distance."
He hasn't destroyed anything. The smaller of the pairs of objects are frequently high mass, high velocity objects seen through the tail of a galaxy. The objects have a different matter distribution than the galaxy and have been id'd as distant objects. Skip Arp's theory goes back to 1973 or 1976 I believe, and nothing, no piece of data has shown up that would give us the ability to say that redshift could occur in a (sort of) stationary object. Nada.
The 6,000 year old age of the earth was developed by James Ussher, an archbishop of the Anglican church in Ireland. Publishing this theory in 1650, he declared that the earth was created at nightfall of the day before October 23rd, 4004 BC.
Believers of this time line for earth's creation used to be called Ussherites, but now go by the name Young Earth Creationists.
I wonder where all of these pre-human homonid skulls keep coming from....?
"The problem: Having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the mother of all black holes; nothing would ever bang its way out of that."
The Big Bang is short hand for Big Expansion of Space and it is not an explosion but a huge increase in the dimensions of space, and by the way, time.
If you measured space, any space, a billion years ago and did so again today for the same amount of space they would measure differently. And the Expansion is acceleratiing for reasons that are not at all clear.
Museums send people out into very remote areas so nobody can see them make them then they bring them back to the museum to show.
The big bang theory and the other theory about life coming from outer space and dropping onto earth, are merely attempts to dodge around the questions of how matter was formed originally and how life started from inert matter.
Deo, I have greatly admired Wendy1946's posts and comments here, and I asked her to ping me to things of interest to her. Obviously, she was asked to compile the list by more FReepers than just me, LOL!
This is a low-volume ping list, but worth the wait for what you get, IMO.
There are a number of fairly new Steady State theories that have been developed recently, say the last 15 years.
But most Astro-physicists see the Big Expansion as the most likely.
That idea has basically been debunked, just too many such coincidences. In other words, beyond some point, connections stop being coincidental.
Pre-production models. Test mules if you will. Any designer worth His salt will go through several iterations until He finds one that is ready for full on production.
You're prepared to prove a negative?
There are many galaxies out there, some say 100 billion and others feel that 1 trillion is not to large a number for visible galaxies. Given those numbers the juxtaposition of two or threee objects is not all unlikely and when we look at the galaxies we find that it very common.
In the 1970s a British astronomer, Fir Frederick Hoyle, calculated the probability of spontaneous generation of a single bacterium. He determined that the probability of generating the proteins necessary to form a single amoeba was one chance in 10 40,000 . To put this in perspective, if an event has the probability of one chance in 10 50 it is considered a mathematical impossibility.
"The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with forty thousand naughts [zeros] after it. It is enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random they must therefor have been the product of purposeful intelligence."
-Sir Frederick Hoyle.

Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,
To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For admission has been secretly gained by some who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that the Lord saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him in eternal chains in the nether gloom until the judgment of the great day; just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Yet in like manner these men in their dreamings defile the flesh, reject authority, and revile the glorious ones. But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, disputed about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a reviling judgment upon him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you." But these men revile whatever they do not understand, and by those things that they know by instinct as irrational animals, they are destroyed.

Guaranteed to hold up under the most demanding tournament situations, the Pro-Cull No-Float Culling System is built to last. Now completely Rust Proof, it features stainless steel clips for added longevity. The absence of floats also means there is more room in your livewell, and allows you to affix your own custom floats if you choose.
To Use the ProCull No Float Culling System: Simply open the metal clip and insert the sharpened point through the fish's lower jaw - as close to the lip as possible. Then just close the clip securely, and lower the fish into the livewell.
For best fish care: It is recommended that you not suspend a fish by the culling line alone. When retrieving a fish from your livewell, simply find the cull line of your cull fish and lift gently. When the fish reaches the surface of the water, grasp the fish by the lower jaw to remove from the livewell.
Customer Reviews

From: Eric: IL
Comments: Work exactly as advertised and take up less room in the livewell and stay tangle free.
From: Martin: Cincinnati, OH
Comments: Work very well, exactly as their supposed to. very strong and easy to get a hold of when in a hurry culling fish.
From: Jason: Perrysburg, OH
Comments: I have used the Pro Cull system numerous times now and I have to say it is a very good product. The clips are sharp right out of the package. They do not tangle together in the live well like other float style systems do. The loops in the end works great for attaching fish to culling board. The do not take up alot of room in storage. All in all, I have been very pleased with this product.

The Richfield High Lady Wildcats won the recently completed 3-A State girls basketball title despite finishing second in Region 12 behind the Emery High Lady Spartans. Richfield defeated Union 53-48 in the championship game. Canyon View High defeated Juab High 35-23 in the game for third and fourth. Carbon High defeated Wasatch 35-33 in the consolation championship game to take fifth.
The Emery High Lady Spartan basketball team, the Region 12 season champion and the possessor of a 21-1 record, lost to those same Union Cougars in the quarterfinals by a score of 51-46. The next day Emery played in a consolation game and lost to the Carbon Dinos 56-39. The Emery stay at state was far shorter than anticipated.
Union High, despite being not as tall as Emery, won the rebound battle in their game by almost 2-1. Emery was out rebounded in the first half 19-7. Although the second half was a little better, it was not enough to overtake the Cougar team. Emery also missed numerous shots taken within two feet of the basket as they could not get much going inside.
Emery led at 2-0 in the first quarter and never led again in this game. Union's biggest lead came at 42-31 midway through the final period. Emery did cut their deficit to three points at the end of the period at 46-42 and 48-45 but could never claim the lead.
Taylor Mann was the leading scorer in the game with 13 points and Taylor also pulled down three rebounds and had four blocked shots before she fouled out of the game. Jessica Murray scored 11 points to be the only other Spartan in double figures. Abbie Kay scored six points, Tayler Jewkes, Brooke Jensen and Markette Tanner all scored four points and Jenni Stinson and Blayr Jeffs each scored two points.
On Friday against Carbon, Emery trailed Carbon at the half 17-21 after leading after the first quarter 7-5. In the second half, it was all Carbon. Emery narrowed their deficit to two points at 19-21 but the Lady Dinos scored the next 11 points to build their lead to 32-19 and eventually won the third quarter 18-12. Emery scored the first four points of the final period to narrow the lead to six points but Carbon then built their lead back to 13 points as they scored the next seven points.
Emery was nine for 20 at the free throw line in the game and had numerous unforced turnovers.
Mann scored 12 points in the game to lead the team with Jensen next with 10 points. Kay scored seven points and Murray and Jeffs each scored five points.

Australian Museum Timeline
The Australian Museum has undergone some turbulent times since it was established in 1827.
|The Colonial or Sydney Museum is established by Lord Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies with a budget of £200 a year to cover all running costs.
|The Colonial Museum's first custodian, William Holmes, is appointed. A carpenter and keen naturalist, he is the Museum's first Zoologist and our first collector. Unfortunately his Museum career is cut short when he is 'shot by accidental discharge of gun while collecting birds and other curiosities' at Moreton Bay (Brisbane) in August 1831.
|The Museum is located at Bent Street (Macquarie Place), in the shed and outhouse of a building that previously housed the first Post Office in Australia.
|After Holmes' death, the Museum is moved to rooms in the Legislative Council building in Macquarie Street where it comes under the control of Edward Deas Thomson, clerk to the Council. Thomson appoints his convict messenger, William Galvin to look after the collection.
|Dr George Bennett is appointed Secretary and Curator
|Convict John Roach is appointed the Museum's first taxidermist, 'Collector and bird stuffer'. Roach later set up his own taxidermy and curio shop in Hunter Street, Sydney.
|The Museum changes its name to The Australian Museum, governed by a Committee of Superintendence headed by prominent colonist Alexander Macleay
|The Museum's first catalogue is published by George Bennett. It includes 36 Australian mammal species, birds, fish, shells, fossils, nine aboriginal artefacts and 16 from Melanesia.
|Geologist Rev William Branwhite Clarke (previously Headmaster of the King's School, Parramatta) is appointed Secretary and Curator. Resigns 1843.
|The Museum moves to rooms in the newly constructed Court House at Woolloomooloo (now Oxford St, Darlinghurst)
|Plans are drawn up for a new Museum building. Money (£3000) is allocated in 1845 by the Legislative Council and a site identified on William St, on land previously occupied by a convict garden.
|W. S. Wall is appointed Curator. He makes a disastrous collecting trip to the Murrumbidgee river, running out of money and food after 2 weeks. Returning to Camden for provisions he sets out again, only to become stranded again 5 weeks later. After a miserable 5 months, Wall returns to the Museum with 138 birds and sixteen mammals.
|Building work starts on the William Street site to the plans of Mortimer Lewis, Colonial Architect.
|W. S. Wall and his family move into the Museum buildings
|W. S. Wall prepares and mounts the skeleton of a whale outside the Museum. A popular attraction, the skeleton is the subject of the Museum's first Memoir, written in 1851. Such is the whale's fame that it even had its own original music, 'The Catadon Polka'. Composed by George Strong in 1853 and dedicated to W. S.

Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
September 7, 2007
CONTACT: Gilbert L. Moore
(202) 616-1728
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced $14.8 million in grants to 152 local law enforcement agencies to enhance school safety in 36 states. The grants were awarded through COPS Secure Our Schools program, which provides funds to improve security at schools and on school grounds.
The Secure Our Schools program will provide up to 50 percent of the total cost for municipalities to install metal detectors, locks, lighting, and other equipment to help deter crime. The grants can also be used to pay half of the cost of security assessments, security training, and other measures that will provide a significant improvement in security.
"Both educators and law enforcement officials understand that securing the school facility and receiving proper training are critical components of a comprehensive school safety plan," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "We are pleased to assist with local school safety initiatives."
Secure Our Schools is one of several COPS initiatives to enhance school safety. Through this program COPS has provided communities with more than $53 million to make schools safer. Overall, COPS has invested more than $883 million in America's schools through our Safe Schools Initiative, COPS in Schools, School-Based Partnerships, and Secure Our Schools programs.
In addition, COPS supports innovative community policing initiatives, funds the purchase of crime fighting technology, and provides training and technical assistance resources. Since 1995, COPS has invested $12.4 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to more than 13,000 state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring of more than 117,000 officers and provide a variety of knowledge resource products including publications, training, technical assistance, conferences and webcasts.
For additional information about COPS Secure Our Schools program, and to view a list of municipalities that received grants, visit COPS website at www.cops.usdoj.gov.

In this course you will continue your key foundation research first introduced in the Introduction to Polish Research Course. Prerequisites for this course are to have looked at census records, ship manifests, WWI Draft Registrations, and you know the location and village of your ancestors birth, and the parish and civil registration records in Poland.
Introduction to Polish Research
In this introduction to Polish research course Cecile Wendt Jensen will dispel the myths that records were destroyed during the world wars and that language barriers make Polish research difficult. She will also give examples and suggestions on how to use records, databases and archives.
Locating, Understanding and Deciphering Catholic Records From North America and European Countries
Many researchers find their family line eventually leads to records maintained by the Roman Catholic Church. This presentation is a survey of the types of records kept by the church and keys to extracting data. Religious newspapers, Jubilee Books and Parish Histories are also covered.
U.S. Hispanic Immigrants: Finding their Place of Origin
This class will give you some ideas of different record types you can use to help identify the country of origin for your Hispanic ancestor who came to the U. S. The examples used in the class are mainly for immigrants who came in the late 1800s and 1900s but the principles are applicable for those who came earlier as well.

Marquette Avenue extension likely to be funded in 2013
City budget approval expected Tuesday
Franklin - It's only a block long, but the extension of Marquette Avenue has been a matter of public debate for decades. Residents have long argued that the extra block would dramatically improve safety near Pleasant View Elementary School.
The $80,000 project is finally slated to happen, with money allocated in the proposed 2013 municipal budget.
The Common Council is expected to vote on the budget, including the road extension. Tuesday.
Widespread support
The city proposes extending Marquette Avenue from 48th to 49th Street, saying it will make it easier for emergency vehicles to get to Pleasant View.
The $80,000 price tag will fund the purchase of needed property and construction of the roadway.
Mayor Tom Taylor read a list of extension proponents at a hearing Monday, and several audience members spoke in favor of the move..
Longtime city resident Casper Green said that even though he does not live in the immediate area, he feels the lack of roadway is a detriment because of traffic problems.
"With the amount of traffic there, I would think that some child is going to get hurt," Green said. "I can tell you that if that was my child, grandchild or great grandchild who was hurt, I would be madder than a wet hen."
Alderman Kristen Wilhelm, whose district includes the school and proposed road, said concerns have been voiced for years. She said she advocated for funding the road.
"It was a concern when my daughter was 5 and a student at Pleasant View," Wilhelm said. "She is 21 now, and I'm sure there were complaints earlier than that."
Plan for the road
City Engineer Jack Bennett said the road extension would be built as an interim road classified as rural, meaning it would be 20 to 22 feet wide, made of asphalt and have ditches on both sides.
"This would be an interim road, which can last a long time," Bennett said, noting that it could be replaced with an urban-categorized road, widened to 40 feet with curbs. That road most likely eventually would be extended to 51st Street, he said.
SPENDING: $32.3 million
LEVY: $20.5 million
MIL RATE: $5.78 per $1,000 of assessed value, a slight decrease from this year's $5.80 per $1,000 of assessed value
WHAT IT MEANS: The owner of a $250,000 home would be taxed $1,445 by the city next year.
THE DETAILS: While the city's nonunion workers would receive a 1 percent pay increase in January and another 1 percent increase in July, their health premium contributions would increase from 10 percent to 12 percent and their contributions to the retirement plan would increase from 4.2 percent to 5 percent. Union contracts are expected to be negotiated by the end of the year.
Director of Administration Mark Luberda said the city is focused on maintaining current service levels while decreasing costs. He noted that one of the challenges is a yet-to-be determined state aid. At this point, he said, the city anticipates losing $26,000 in transportation funds and $159,000 in expenditure restraint funds.
Next step
WHAT: Common Council vote on 2013 budget proposal

On Nov. 5, the culmination of several years work came to the point of grand opening. The Emery County Gun Club opened near the sheriff's range at the county landfill site on Des-Bee-Dove Road in Castle Dale.
Jason and Jeremy Jewkes, along with Eric Luke and many others shot trap, and had always wanted a regular range at which to hold competitions and practices. The men approached Commissioner Drew Sitterud about help from the county and were pointed in the direction of the Emery County Recreation District.
Shannon Hiatt and the recreation board agreed to take on the project. The board worked up the grant application and approached the permanent community impact board about funding for the gun range. The PCIB approved the application and funding was secured. Emery County donated the land near the landfill, and the equipment to do the site preparation work. The grant money was used to purchase the automatic clay pigeon throwers and the materials to build the bunkers in which they are located.
Volunteers completed the remodeling work to the building which houses the office at the gun range. Shoots and practice rounds are very reasonably priced, and competitions are scheduled to be held every other Saturday at the range. Shoots will begin at 1 p.m., but shooters are welcome to come anytime, as someone will be at the club all day on competition days. The next shoots will be held Dec. 3, 17, and 31.
For more information call Jason Jewkes at 384-3279, Jeremy Jewkes at 381-2057, or Eric Luke at 384-2319.

Canada Dollar Falls as Central Bank Forecast to Hold 1%Ari Altstedter
The Canadian dollar traded at almost the lowest level this year against its U.S. counterpart as the Bank of Canada is projected to maintain its benchmark interest rate at one percent in a decision tomorrow.
The currency weakened versus the majority of its most-traded peers after a report showed Canadian retail sales slowed in November. Canada's dollar fell against the yen, trimming a gain this month, after the Bank of Japan said it will conduct open-ended asset purchases starting in 2014, later than estimated.
"We're a long way from getting back to normal interest rates," said Aaron Fennell, a futures specialist at Bank of Nova Scotia's ScotiaMcLeod unit, by phone from Toronto. "If they do start raising rates in Canada, they're going to do so very cautiously, 25 basis points at a time. They'll probably do it two times and then lay off for a while to see what happens."
The loonie, as the Canadian dollar is known for the image of the waterfowl on the C$1 coin, rose 0.1 percent to 99.19 cents per U.S. dollar at 5 p.m. in Toronto, after falling to 99.46. It reached 99.47 on Jan. 18, the lowest level since Dec. 31. One loonie buys $1.0082.
It fell 0.9 percent to 89.43 per yen, paring a 2.3 percent gain this month.
Options Data
Options traders became more bearish on the Canadian dollar. The three-month so-called 25-delta risk reversal rate, which measures the premium charged for the right to buy the U.S. dollar against the loonie versus contracts to sell, traded as high as 0.92 percentage point, the most since Nov. 27. It averaged 1.5 percentage points during the past 12 months.
Futures of crude oil, Canada's biggest export, rose 0.7 percent to $96.24 per barrel and the Standard & Poor's 500 stock Index rose 0.4 percent.
Canada's benchmark 10-year bonds rose, pushing the yield down two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.91 percent. The 2.75 percent note maturing in June 2022 added 19 cents to C$107.16.
The Bank of Canada will announce further details on Jan. 24 for a Jan. 30 10-year note auction.
The central bank will keep the benchmark interest rate at one percent when it announces its policy decision at 10 a.m. tomorrow, according to the median forecast of 24 economists in a Bloomberg survey. The Bank of Canada has kept its policy interest rate at 1 percent since September 2010, the longest pause since the 1950s, and has said since April that borrowing costs may rise.
Economic Data
Retail sales rose 0.2 percent to C$39.4 billion ($39.7 billion) after October's gain was revised down to 0.5, Statistics Canada said today in Ottawa. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News forecast that retail sales would be unchanged from the previous month, according to the median of 23 forecasts. Retail sales less autos fell 0.3 percent, from a projected gain of 0.1 percent in a survey of 19 economists.
"I think for retail sales it was kind of a mixed report in the sense that there were revisions to the October report and so the upward surprise on headline was counterbalanced by a downward surprise less autos, which was all counterbalanced by what happened to the previous month's revisions," said Camilla Sutton, head of currency strategy at Bank of Nova Scotia, by phone from Toronto. "So the market might have been a bit confused by retail sales."
Yen Trade
The Bank of Japan said it will conduct open-ended asset purchases of 13 trillion yen a month starting next year and set a 2 percent inflation target in a bid to weaken its currency and end two decades of stagnation, disappointing investors who had expected more immediate action to drive down the currency.
"There's been so much yen weakness over the last two months or so, I think it was natural to see some profit-taking after the Bank of Japan announcement," said Elsa Lignos, senior currency strategist at Royal Bank of Canada, by phone from London. Investors are "beginning to question whether the Bank of Japan can really do enough to weaken the yen."
Japan's five-year note yield fell to 0.15 percent, the lowest level since the government started selling the debt in February 2000.
The loonie has fallen 1.7 percent during the past six months versus nine developed-nation peers tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The euro has gained 6 percent while the greenback has dropped 4.6 percent.

St. John's Second Universal Letter 1:1-13
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 98.9,1
Exalt the Lord our God.
Verse: The Lord reigns; let the people tremble.
The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not only I but also all who know the truth, because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us for ever:
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.
I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children following the truth, just as we have been commanded by the Father. And now I beg you, lady, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son. If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting; for he who greets him shares his wicked work.
Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

Now that the dust has settled in the northern hemisphere, we thought it only right to sit down and select our Test Team of the Week.
Now that the dust has settled in the northern hemisphere, Planet Rugby's scribes thought it only right to sit down and select a XV of the Week.
It was a tough XV to settle on and some positions made for difficult decisions that took a bit of time.
But we got there in the end so herewith our stand-out players from a busy international weekend.
15 Rob Kearney (Ireland) – Kearney's try – Ireland's third in 20 minutes – practically made a whole country pass out in giddy delight. The full-back looked as though he'd stepped straight into the match from 2009 – catching everything, thumping everyone back and showing the cutting edge in attack that has not always been present in his game. 114 metres made, three defenders beaten and seven tackles. He deserved to win. Credit to Israel Folau (107 metres, one fine try) and Canada's James Pritchard for his haul of 27 points, including two tries against Portugal.
14 JP Pietersen (South Africa) – Slim pickings amongst the right wings but Pietersen's try was one of the most influential of the weekend. It was a textbook case of creating an opportunity out of nothing thanks to pressurising a kicker. A mention for Pumas wing Juan Imhoff, who also scored his first Test try in over a year.
13 Ben Smith (New Zealand) – Conrad Smith has barely been missed. The Highlander's sojourn at outside centre might turn into a permanent move long-term after Smith was at his effective best against Ireland, running the ball twelve times for 102 metres and beating tacklers on the way. He has had a superb 2013, hence his nomination for the IRB Player of the Year Award.
12 Gordon D'Arcy (Ireland) – This was exactly the kind of performance that nobody thought Gordon D'Arcy had left in him. Recalled in place of Luke Marshall, D'Arcy was in full-on beast mode against the All Blacks – running effectively and making enough tackles to keep them at bay until the death. A vintage showing from the slightly younger half of Ireland's veteran centre pairing. Credit to Ma'a Nonu for a storming second half and Wesley Fofana who beat five defenders from inside centre.
11 Yoann Huget (France) – A well-taken try by the Toulouse wing dragged France back into contention against the Springboks and Huget could well have bagged a second after the break if it weren't for an unkind bounce. A mention for Wallaby newbie Chris Feauai-Sautia, who marked his second cap with his second Test try.
10 Aaron Cruden (New Zealand) – Cruden started and finished one of the great comebacks in sport on Sunday. With Ireland 19-0 up, the fly-half's cross-kick to Julian Savea got the ball rolling before he had a hand in Ryan Crotty's score. And of course, he landed that touchline kick. Mention for Argentina's Nicolas Sanchez.
9 Conor Murray (Ireland) – Why he was overlooked to start against Australia last week remains a mystery but Murray returned with a bang on Sunday, leading from the front for Ireland. He kicked well territorially while his service and game management stood out. Murray opened the scoring too.
8 Jamie Heaslip (Ireland) – Australia advised Heaslip to 'just mark Kieran Read'. He did more than that. Read is the favourite to claim the IRB Player of the Year award but he was overshadowed by the Irish number eight on Sunday. A whopping 21 tackles as he was the stand-out forward in Dublin. Next in line here was Australia's Ben Mowen.
7 Michael Hooper (Australia) – Hooper – pest extrodinaire – was at his baff-snaffling best at the breakdown at Murrayfield as he continually cut short Scottish momentum. Twelve tackles with none missed is also a respectable figure for the openside, who in addition made plenty of carries. Another fine year from Hooper in the absence of David Pocock to make that rivalry more interesting next season. A mention too for Francois Louw whose great efforts were spoiled by his needless yellow card in Paris.
6 Sean O'Brien (Ireland) – Moved to the other side of the scrum as we wanted both him and Hooper in the side after titanic efforts over the weekend. O'Brien got the better of his opposite number as his hunger and bulk caused the All Blacks issues. Sixteen tackles in a workmanlike performance. Mentions for Steven Luatua and Alessandro Zanni.
5 Flip van der Merwe (South Africa) – For us, the Bulls man had his best game in a Springbok jersey. He showed grit up front, making ten tackles to go with a tireless showing in Paris. With Eben Etzebeth going off early and Bakkies Botha lasting an hour, Van der Merwe put in some shift. Huge mentions for two men who gave absolutely everything to the respective Irish and New Zealand cause, Paul O'Connell and Sam Whitelock.
4 Pascale Papé (France) – The Stade Français lock has had an excellent month, making an impressive return to Test rugby after an injury-enforced absence. He was the one Frenchman who really matched the Springboks' physicality, giving as good as he took. A mention for the hard graft put in by Ireland's Devin Toner.
3 Coenie Oosthuizen (South Africa) – Many felt that South Africa's tighthead would be targeted by the French pack, especially at scrum time, but the 24-year-old stood up to the pressure on the occasion of his first start.
2 Stephen Moore (Australia) – Working his way up to world-leading status when it comes to Test number twos, Moore was at it again in Edinburgh. The hooker made nine tackles and carried nine times in a concerted Wallaby forward pack effort that had enough thrust to see off the Scots. A rock in the middle of the Australia pack. Credit to Eusebio Guiñazú for making fourteen tackles against the Azzurri.
1 Cian Healy (Ireland) – The Healy grandchildren may be hearing about the time Cian barged over Richie McCaw. Unfortunately that day didn't have a happy ending as Ireland lost late on but Healy was a rock for his country, putting in plenty of hits and carries while he scrummaged well. Immense.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Last Saturday Carbon High hosted a qualifying track meet and seven schools showed up to participate. Three 4-A schools Orem, Provo and Uintah were the big schools there along with Carbon and Emery High and then a pair of smaller schools, Pinnacle Academy and Green River.
Emery junior Ashlynn Allred picked right up where she left off last spring as she won the 100 meters, the 200 meter and the 400 meters, all in state qualifying time. By scoring 30 points, she paced the girls' team to a second place finish behind Orem High.
The fun story of the day though was the girls' 4X400 relay team. I kept hearing that the distance runners on the team were going to put a relay team together and talking to Coach Kevin Reynolds afterwards, which is what they did.
Kassidee Oakeson, Aubree Rowley, Allyson Woolsey and Bayler Griffin competed quite well as they finished second behind the team from Orem. Emery was way back after the first two legs of the relay when Griffin took the baton handoff and took off in pursuit. Griffin gave it her all, I am not positive she knew how far 400 meters was before she actually started running. She did a good job of getting Emery back into the thick of things and then she handed the baton off to Woolsey.
Woolsey overtook Uintah and Carbon and Emery had quite a comeback although Orem was too far out ahead to be caught. One had to appreciate the willingness of the team members to go out and just do it. That race is what put the Emery girls into second ahead of Carbon.
Coach Todd Jeffs had this to say when asked about Ryan Cox, "I have tried for years to get him to come out for the track team and I was always unsuccessful but finally this year he is here and look at what he is doing." Cox finished third in the 100 meters with a time of 11.65, sixth in the 200 meters, fourth in the javelin and was a member of the winning 4X100 relay team. It was nice having Cox on the team. Other members of that relay team were Matt Mecham, Beau Ivie and Cameron Allred.
Paytn Jeffs finished tied for first place in the high jump with a jump of 5 foot 1 inch and second in the long jump with a jump of 15 feet 7 inches. Laryssa Guymon finished third in the javelin, third in the shotput and third in the discus. Bayler Griffin was seventh in the 100 meters and fourth in the 200 meters.
Here are the other girl's that placed in the meet, Erin Hurst was sixth in the 1600 meters and fifth in the 3200 meters, Allyson Woolsey was fourth in the 400, Chyanne Carter was sixth in the discus.
Here are the other scorers for the boys' team; Matt Mecham was third in the 110 meter hurdles and third in the 300 meter hurdles and Beau Ivie was eighth in the long jump.
Emery's lone home meet, the Darrell Gardner Invitational, will be held on Tuesday April 15 in the afternoon.

"Hat Block & Hats: Sculptural Form and Artistic Function" with Wayne Wichern
This event is expired.
Phot courtesy Wayne Wichern
A piece of felt, a cloud of steam, and a wooden hat block are the essential ingredients for the making of a blocked hat. Take a peek inside the studio of hat designer Wayne Wichern. Wayne specializes in women's blocked fashion hats and elegant evening and cocktail hats. Behind each of these elegant hats is the shaping tool known as a hat block. The hat block is a tool made for the millinery trade by a skilled woodcraft artisan, and while the hat block is for practical use in the studio it is itself an amazing artistic achievement.
Wayne Wichern carved a curious path as florist, ballet dancer, and visual display artist to create his 27-year career as a fashion millinery designer and teacher. Wayne teaches semi-private workshops in his Redwood City studio and has taught at Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina, and Peters Valley School of Craft in Layton, New Jersey. He has work in the textiles collection of the de Young and the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle.
Presented by the Textile Arts Council.
