Carlisle floods: bring back the trees, and the beavers!
Oliver Tickell
7th December 2015The key to reducing the risk of more floods like those in Carlisle is to realise that conventional 'flood defence' can never provide security against the ever more extreme weather events that global warming will bring. We must embrace natural solutions to holding back flood waters: more trees; and bring back the beavers! more...
Bloodbath in Yellowstone: the park's plan to slaughter 1,000 wild bison
George Wuerthner
14th December 2015Yellowstone Park is home to America's last pure-bred wild bison, writes George Wuerthner. Yet the Park's management is planning to kill around a thousand of these precious animals this winter. Ostensibly it's to protect cattle on public lands near the park from brucellosis. But bison have never been known to transmit the disease to them. The real reason is to keep all the pasture for livestock. more...
Scotland's wild beaver 'shoot to kill' policy is illegal and wrong
Louise Ramsay
5th December 2015Native wild beavers in their natural range are meant to receive stringent protection under European and Scottish law, writes Louise Ramsay. But farmers have declared 'open season' on the small but growing population, shooting them at will, while the Scottish Government and its wildlife agency look the other way. more...
It's time to celebrate and protect the soils that feed us!
Peter Melchett
4th December 2015Almost all our food is grown in soil, writes Peter Melchett. Yet we are treating it like dirt: spraying it with toxic chemicals, depleting vital nutrients, and releasing its carbon to add to climate change. With World Soils Day coming up tomorrow, let's change our ways - and renew our commitment to organic food and farming. more...
UK Government attacks public right to environmental justice
Paul Mobbs
30th November 2015Little publicised government plans to 'reform' court costs are intended to foreclose access to environmental justice for all but the wealthiest individuals and communities, writes Paul Mobbs.

Fox hunting season begins under cloud of political spin
Dr Toni Shephard
8th November 2015The fox-hunting season is now well under way, writes Toni Shephard. But with Cameron still pressing for a Commons vote on wrecking amendments to the Hunting Act, political controversy shows no sign of subsiding. Take, for example, the proposed lifting of the limit on number of dogs that can be used for the 'observation or study' of a wild mammal. more...
Health and biodiversity restored? How farming can rediscover its long-lost roots
Dave Goulson
16th November 2015As industrial agriculture continues to erode our wildlife, Dave Goulson challenges the methods and objectives of ever-increasing food production. We need to move towards sustainable, evidence-based farming systems that produce healthy food, rather than allowing the agrochemical industry to reshape our farming, countryside and nutrition to its quest for profit. more...
Why isn't the UK standing up for EU Nature Laws?
Catherine Weller / ClientEarth
5th November 2015The EU's Nature Directives have been doing a great job of protecting Europe's most threatened species and habitats and building up wildlife numbers, writes Catherine Weller, and the UK knows it. But now it's the Directives themselves that are under threat. Other EU countries are standing up for them - but not the UK. more...
Our threatened bees deserve better!
Sandra Bell / Friends of the Earth
4th November 2015On the first anniversary of the UK's National Pollinator Strategy, writes Sandra Bell, the Bee Coalition warns that bees are still under threat from highly toxic pesticides, continuing loss of habitat, and an increasingly inhospitable countryside. The Government must do more to protect our bees. more...
In the dark: badger cull cost-benefit report is state secret

The Ecomodernist Manifesto is a program for genocide and ecocide
Derrick Jensen
10th November 2015The idea of a 'good, or even great, Anthropocene' as promised in the Ecomodernist Manifesto is purely delusional, writes Derrick Jensen. Worse, it underlies a narrative in which the wholesale destruction of nature and of sustainable indigenous societies is repackaged as a noble mission - one whose ultimate purpose is the complete alienation of humans from the planet that spawned us. more...

Rewilding is not just for nature - it's essential for our own survival
Jessica Rothwell
16th October 2015Rewilding landscapes impoverished by human exploitation enriches nature and brings back life to an increasingly ravaged world, writes Jessica Rothwell. But more than that, it's a vital step in making human existence sustainable in the long term, depending as we do on our planet's functional ecosystems for our health and survival. It's time for people to pull back - and make space for the wild. more...
How much is nature worth? More than you can imagine
Neil Nightingale
8th October 2015However much you think nature is worth, it's a lot more, writes Neil Nightingale. According to the BBC's 'Earth Index', published today in the world's financial press, water alone is worth as much as the entire global economy, and a single beaver's landscape and wetland management clocks in at $120,000 a year. more...

Russia - has the world's biggest country turned against the environment?

Rewilding isn't about nostalgia - exciting new worlds are possible
Paul Jepson
22nd July 2015Rewilding is now firmly on the agenda, writes Paul Jepson, and that brings a huge opportunity to re-invigorate conservation. But we must look to creating new functional ecosystems for the future, rather than trying to recreate a lost and perhaps imagined past. more...

Fox hunting is political poison for David Cameron and the Tory Party

Where were our gymnasts and Michael Phelps? I didn't seen any Russian gymnasts, either.
As far as the ceremony, it was good but I have seen better. The models on the catwalk weren't necessary, imo. The skating nuns were cute!
Where were our gymnasts and Michael Phelps? I didn't seen any Russian gymnasts, either.
As far as the ceremony, it was good but I have seen better. The models on the catwalk weren't necessary, imo. The skating nuns were cute!
it was like watching a really bad acid trip unfold... sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awful compared to the Opening (which I LOVED)
I was disappointed that Brazil didn't bring it at the end. I was hoping for this.
yeah I wasn't too keen on the Brazil bit, either...
The closing ceremony was totally different in function and form to the opening. The opening was mainly about telling stories about Great Britain's history, which it did with a grand vision and lots of emotions. There were lots of musical acts sprinkled in, but they were more incidental. The closing ceremony was basically one giant concert showcasing the past and present of British popular music. Could it have been arranged and presented better? Very much so. But it is what it is and I liked and enjoyed a great many of the musical numbers in it.
My favorite moments:
The most emotional moment for me was Emeli Sandé singing an acoustic version of "Read All About It" while a montage of athletes crying from sadness, and not the usual triumph that these official montages involve. It was a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics beautifully sung, and the montage was perfect with it. It was very much part of the inclusive spirit of the games, telling the athletes that we're not just here to celebrate those of you who succeed and are happy, but we will also console and sympathize with those of you who fall short. That your display of very human emotions, and showing just how much you wanted to succeed did touch people and have a worthy and important place in the games. It was a very thoughtful and original gesture.
The whole Brazilian presentation, but especially Seu Jorge, one of my favorite Brazilian singers, coming out to sing some samba in that deep voice of his. Then, to make it even better, another one of my favorite Brazilian singers, Marisa Monte, joined him in a duet with her honeyed voice. It was musically orgasmic.
And I admit even though I was never a big Spice Girls fan, seeing their reunion was exciting. I got a good buzz and chuckle out of their entrance (when the mysterious taxi cabs pulled up, then flashed into the colorful motifs of the spices, I went, "WHEE!") And I have to say they gave a very good performance. Scary Spice still has the swagger, and Sporty Spice still has the voice. Posh Spice looked miserable at being there, but that just made it even more fun for me!
To further pile on poor Mathman, there were many elements of the Brazilian carnival in their presentation! I'm a huge fan of the Rio carnivals, and during the presentation, you see many elements from it, done even better than I've seen in Rio. The line of women wearing samba float outfits that were colorful neon tubes one-upped carnival by going electric. Seeing those things pulsate and change color in time to the samba music was delightful. And a giant parade float even got in on the action, a vehicle of spinning umbrellas wheeled across the stage with an opera singer belting it up top. It was better and more beautiful than most samba school floats I've seen. No, they didn't have enough people and equipment to stage a full-scale carnival, but they brought the best of it and even improved it.
I liked the Brazilian presentation; after all, the British weren't too dynamic in their presentation during the Beijing's closing ceremonies, and look how they gloriously came through. My favorite part with the Brazilians was Marisa Monte singing Villa Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No.5 , dressed as Iemanja--the goddess of the sea. Fantastic!
NBC cut the ceremony short! Can't they ever get anything right?
For better or worse this is what NBC cares about:
"Despite the complaints about the defects of the Closing Ceremony, the ratings were through the roof. NBC reported that 21.8 million viewers tuned in. The London Games also had a record number of viewers, on average 31.1 million in prime time, making it the most-watched non-U.S. Summer Olympics since Montreal in 1976, according to Forbes."
ETA: NBC will be featuring Olympians all week on the Today show and Leno.
Tonight Gabby will be on Leno.
Also the NBC Sports channel will be replaying Olympic events all week.

The closing ceremony is always a lot looser than the opening ceremonies - it's more a party for the athletes vs a showplace for the host country.
The UK has produced lots of good music - so, I enjoyed the concert. I actually thought it was kinda funny that several of the athletes weren't even alive when the acts had their hits. The younger athletes were borin in the 1990's and I recall a lot of music being from the 80's since I listened to much of it during my college years. Of course, some acts are too iconic to not know....
^ It was a great lead-in to the preview of the new NBC sit-com Animal Practice, shown at 11:00. Highest rating ever for a sitcom sneak preview.
True...but...we expect the British to be reserved. I was hoping for an explosion of sound and color from Brazil. Oh well.I liked the Brazilian presentation; after all, the British weren't too dynamic in their presentation during the Beijing's closing ceremonies, and look how they gloriously came through.
I like the new Olympic symbol, though.
But they could have made it look more like a toucan.
As art, I still like the Incredible Stone Man from Vancouver the best.
Maybe you can help me with the stats but anyway you cut it a whole lot of Americans did not care to watch the closing ceremonies.
Those who did had a choice....watch the preview, take a break and come back later or do what I did and call it a night.
After watching 2-3 times more of the summer games than I ever could in the past, with by far the best chances and choices to see what I liked I don't have too many complaints about NBC.
It seems a simple concept that without the ratings the games won't have this type of coverage in the future.
Without a certain amount of fluffs and entertainment value the ratings would drop like a rock.
So pick your poison. And how far would the IOC go without NBC's billion dollars?
Think ISU and losing ESPN's money.....
Anyway, not sure if broadcasting the Olympics is as easy as some might think.
I do like the "stone man" although I thought it was a totem pole...
All I can say is, thank god I didn't watch the NBC broadcast of the closing ceremonies! They apparently cut short their prime time broadcast of the closing ceremonies to show a preview of their new sitcom. Even worse, the part they cut short was the set from legendary rock band The Who, which announcer Bob Costas had been promising all night long. This is just baffling. The whole broadcast took place many hours after the event actually wrapped. The people at NBC had hours to configure, edit and time their broadcast. If they wanted to, they could've easily cut more of the preceding musical acts out to show The Who, the headliner of the whole thing. Instead, nope, they kept in Russell Brand's awful Beatles cover and Fatboy Slim's pointless DJ set rather than show The Who. Best of all, they declined to tell Bob Costas.
If you recall, NBC did the same thing to the Vancouver Olympics closing ceremony, cutting it short to show a preview of Jerry Seinfeld's TV show The Marriage Ref. Yeah, The Marriage Ref. Boy, that sure worked out! There was some hope that after Dick Ebersol got fired from NBC afterwards, this sort of ridiculousness would stop. But nope, NBC is worse than ever.

By PATSY STODDARDStaff, Emery County Progress
The Emery County Commissioners met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Feb. 19. Those present were Commissioners Ira Hatch, Randy Johnson and Drew Sitterud. County Attorney Dave Blackwell and Sheriff Lamar Guymon were also present.
Sheriff Lamar Guymon offered the opening prayer and led those present in the pledge of allegiance. The first item on the agenda was the approval of the check edit list. Commissioner Johnson had a question on the senior citizen expenses. Clerk Bruce Funk explained an add-on expense of heater repair in the ambulance garage in Castle Dale.
The purchase of a computer for Deputy Martin Wilson from the safe communities grant was approved. The next item on the agenda was the filling of the four vacancies on the Emery County Public Lands Council. Those with terms expiring were Tom Roush, Craig Johansen, Bevan Wilson and Perry Bunderson. These positions were filled with Tom Roush, Vernell Rowley, Craig Johansen and Kirk Johansen.
Those submitting applications for consideration were: Boyd Wilson, Kathleen Truman, Tom Lloyd, Mark H. Williams, Margaret Swasey, Reed Martin, Randall Stilson, Tom Roush, Craig Johansen, Kirk Johansen and Vernell Rowley.
The next item on the agenda was the approval of a business license for Troy Atwood at the Huntington Airport for airport operations and to sell fuel. Commissioner Hatch reported there have been several planes in and out of the airport lately and he also has a meeting with Atwood to discuss things.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of the Standard Cooperative Agreement for Utah State University Extension Educational work. Attorney Blackwell explained this agreement helps them receive their grant money. Commissioner Hatch expressed the wish that they be more upfront and perhaps invite the commissioners to one of their meetings. Up to this point the commissioners hadn't been involved.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of the Interlocal Agreement with Emery County Special Service District #1 for street lighting services. Commissioner Hatch pointed out that this agreement allows the district to pay for street lights for the lighting of public roads. This helps take the burden off of the county. The motion was made by Commissioner Sitterud and seconded by Commissioner Hatch.
The next item on the agenda was the formal request for installation of street lights on Miller Creek Road. Commissioner Sitterud explained that he had received a phone call concerning this bus stop. There are five houses there along the road and the bus stop is too dark. A formal request from the county to Utah Power for installation of the light is needed. Commissioner Hatch pointed out that this new light is along a stretch of road which will be rebuilt at a later time. The item was approved.
The next item on the agenda was the acceptance/certification of Four Corner's Community Mental Health audit review. It was determined that it would be approved subject to review by Brenda Dugmore of the Clerk's office.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of the Ute Indian Tribe's request to use the county's parcel layer platting program. A motion was made to table the item until more information could be obtained to clarify how they wished to use the program.
The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of the contract with the state for purchase of surplus property. Commissioner Hatch explained when surplus state property comes up for sale it is sold on a priority basis with the federal government, other state agencies, county and then city governments having a chance to purchase it in that order.
The next item on the agenda was the discussion of participation in the Emery County Progress Energy Edition. It was determined they would support the newspaper and the energy industry by purchasing a one-fourth page ad in the supplement.
Under the category of citizen concerns nothing was brought up due to the absence of citizens at the meeting. It was determined that the minutes for the previous meeting be tabled until the commissioners have a chance to review them.
The next item on the agenda was the commissioner reports. Commissioner Hatch stated that he had attended the Utah Association of Counties meeting on Friday in Provo. They brought the attendees up to date on legislative items. Senate Bill 82 and HB 241 were discussed. HB241 deals with health departments. He stated that there is opposition to this bill by county health officers from around the state. Another bill dealing with bid limits on construction projects for public works improvements was not a popular bill either. A bill dealing with public safety involving one operating system statewide which Sheriff Guymon described as being good for the Wasatch Front where they have more frequencies but not good for our area. It would require every radio to be replaced and would be very expensive.
Commissioner Hatch also mentioned a bill regarding jail reimbursements where they are trying to get something through where a judge can sentence a prisoner to the jail of his choice.
Commissioner Sitterud said he had received a call from the nursing home informing him that Utah is the seventh lowest state in paying for senior citizens. They had expressed their desire that this be brought before the legislators to see what can be done.
Commissioner Johnson said an informational lunch meeting will be held on Feb. 25 with elected officials and department heads to bring them up to speed on the monument. It was mentioned that many of them have questions concerning the monument and this will help educate them to what is taking place. It will be presented by the public lands council.
The meeting was adjourned. The next commission meeting will be held on March 5 at 4 p.m.

A must have!
"I am a huge fan of wedges and these bad boys might become my faves! I love the height and feel very stable in them. They are amazingly comfortable. I debated between the coral and black, went with the coral and am extremely happy with the color. Very true to the picture. They give a fun and funky "pop" to my typical NYC black wardrobe! I love the long laces so I can wrap them around the top. These are a must have!"

a Must Have bootie
"This is the cutest bootie ever... Not the mention the color. Although it's base color is orange there are hues of pink, strands of brown, hints of nude and accents of off white. It's so versatile too. I've worn this boot with so many variations of color blocked colors, it adds just the right amount "pop" to every outfit I've worn this bootie with. Plus, I have a solid color orange couture handbag and to no surprise (since I bought this amazing bootie here at DSW on-line where the pic actually provided me an accurate color depiction) it matched perfectly! I'm just so pleased... Plus, everyone loves my crazy must have bootie it's a complete showstopper, and comfortable too! I shopped at 8 stores in 1 day (all in different locations - not at like a mall or anything) and my feet were okay... I would highly recommend this cute bootie."

Democratic Senators Block Republican-led Net Neutrality Repeal
Jason Mick
November 11, 2011 9:11 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Even if the repeal had passed the Senate, President Obama had promised to veto it
After months of threats and debating, the Republican leadership in Congress moved forward with plans to block the
U.S. Federal Communication Commission
(FCC) from
rolling out basic net neutrality rules
, which prevent landline internet carriers from throttling the user's connection,
charging on a per website basis
, or engaging in other tactics designed to slow some sites' load times and speed others' up.
I. Republicans Push for Net Neutrality Ban
As Republicans control the House of Representatives, the key battleground in the repeal effort would be the Senate.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison
(R-Texas) sponsored the repeal resolution, S.J. Res. 6.
Sen. Hutchinson took a hard stance, arguing that ISPs should be allowed to charge users on a per-site basis and throttle as they wish, without regulation. She comments, "The internet and technology have produced more jobs in this country than just about any other sector. It has been the cradle of innovation, it does not have a problem, and it does not need fixing."
Others in her party took a softer approach.
Sen. Olympia Snowe
(R-Maine) wrote a "dear colleague" letter to her fellow Republicans. In it she wrote that she felt that net neutrality regulation
necessary to protect consumer abuse. But she argued the proper place for it was through the Senate, not the FCC.
But if "pro-net neutrality" Republicans senators had an alternative plan they failed to propose it in concrete form. And it was unclear when or if a replacement to the current rules would be drafted if repeal was pass -- or for that matter whether a net neutrality bill could past muster in the House and Senate given many Republicans absolute opposition to anything standing in the way of ISPs' efforts to increase profits by cutting back and restructuring regional internet services.
The hardline Republicans like Sen. Hutchinson who flatly opposed any regulation argued that regulation would kill jobs. Sen. Hutchinson
pointed to industry studies
that claimed net neutrality regulation would slow infrastructure deployment, and by proxy reduce jobs.
The Republican-controlled House had
passed a net neutrality repeal measure
in February 2011.
President Obama threatened to veto S.J. Res. 6
II. Democrats Warn That Repeal Would Kill Innovation, Free Speech
The repeal had Democratic President Barack Obama concerned enough that he
threatened to veto the bill
[PDF] if it should pass, with his office writing in a release, "If the President is presented with S.J. Res. 6, which would not safeguard the free and open Internet, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the Resolution."
But this dramatic game of political theater end rather mundanely as the Democratic majority in the Senate rallied together in opposition of the resolution.
Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller IV
, the great-grandson of famous oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, led the opposition commenting:
There's still 53 of us, and if we stay together we'll win. I think we're going to prevail. Even if they don't, they'll still have the backing of the White House, which has already threatened to veto the resolution, should it survive past the Senate floor. It would be ill-advised to threaten the very foundations of innovation in the Internet economy and the democratic spirit that has made the Internet a force for social progress around the world.
III. Wednesday's Fiery Debate
Here's some video coverage of Wednesday's debate, which preceded a vote:
Democratic Perspective (~3 min)
Republican perspective (~17 min, but starts off strong)
IV. Democrats Emerge Triumphant
Sen. Rockefeller's stand paid off. The final vote was tallied yesterday and showed all 52 Democrats voting opposing the measure, and all 46 Republicans voting in favor of the measure. The bill was thus defeated, clearing the way for the FCC's new net neutrality rules to go into effect next week.
Two senators did not vote --
Sen. John McCain
(R-Ariz.) and
Senator Dan Inouye
(D-Haw.). It appears that Sen. Inouye was
at an event in Washington, D.C.
honoring a Japanese veteran of World War II. It was unclear why John McCain -- who had
previously led the charge against net neutrality
-- did not vote.
V. Legal Challenges Remain
The rejection of the repeal resolution now leaves the various lawsuits against the rules as the only thing standing in their way. Interestingly, advocacy groups have also opposed the rules claiming they do not go far enough, and unfairly exempt mobile devices from their provisions. Several groups have pursued legal action.
The Media Access Project
, who had been suing on the grounds of the lax approach to mobile regulation, dropped its legal action after it saw its case assigned to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Policy Director Andrew Jay Schwartzman
that his organization feared a hostile atmosphere in that particular court would kill the case. He comments, "The D.C. Circuit Court is a very hostile forum. [It would be a] very close case."
That leaves The Free Press, who is suing on similar grounds. Strangely The Free Press's President and CEO Craig Aaron -- leading the suit
the rules -- cheered the Democratic success in block their repeal in the Senate. He comments, "The Senate sent a strong signal today to would-be gatekeepers that the free and open internet needs to stay that way. The American public doesn't want phone and cable companies undercutting competition, deciding which websites will work or censoring what people can do online."
Most public advocacy groups lauded the vote, while saying the rules still should be extended farther. Among them is the
American Civil Liberties Union
. In a post entitled "It Was Close, But We Won: Viva Net Neutrality!" ACLU Washington, D.C. staffer Sandra Fulton
Though the FCC's rules are not great, they do offer some protections for net neutrality on the wired Internet and overturning them would have been a huge setback for free speech on the web. During debate on the Senate floor yesterday supporters of the resolution railed against government regulation while opponents defended the rules saying they were necessary to maintain the openness and innovation that has allowed the Internet to thrive.
On the other side of the spectrum, there's also a suit from Verizon Wireless, the joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (
) and Vodafone Group Plc. (
). It's hard to understand why Verizon
decided to sue the FCC
, given that the Commission's proposal
closely mirrors
that which a Verizon - Google, Inc. (
pact proposed in Aug. 2010
. The rules offer virtually no regulation on mobile internet service providers -- just as Verizon requested.
Verizon's lawsuit will be heard in the Spring or Summer. In the meantime Verizon could request in court that the rules be suspended pending the outcome of the lawsuit. The FCC has already taken a preemptive strike,
moving to dismiss Verizon's lawsuit
on legal technicalities.
The Democratic-majority FCC under the Obama administration has been quite busy. It is currently in the process of finalizing a spectrum auction, an effort carriers laud but some TV broadcaster loathe. It's also assisting the
U.S. Department of Justice
in its case against AT&T, Inc. (
) who is trying to engulf T-Mobile USA -- a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG (
) -- a move which would
grant it a virtual monopoly on 3G GSM technology

What is disturbing churches today is psychology; psychology is not the third branch of government. The US Constitution is the document that allows churches to operate freely.
The third branch of our government is the judiciary, which must always be open court to the public. Unfortunately dope dealers abuse the system by using teens as their sellers in Utah's closed courts.
Wake up Utah and request open courts in juvenile matters. Most child abuse starts with narcotics and very little from homosexuals.

Mayor Neal Peacock announced the plans for a new subdivision near the elementary school. "We are pleased with this proposal," said the mayor. "There will be 35 lots for new homes to be built and they will be nice sized lots. The property is just north of the site of the new pool. People can purchase a lot to build on, or the subdivider will build for them. There will also be a green space in this project. This is an exciting, good thing for Castle Dale. The city is working hard to make sure people who want to build in Castle Dale have some opportunity."
The Emery County Children's Justice Center was discussed at the recent Castle Dale City Council meeting. Shelly Wright presented several packets of information concerning the functions of the center in Price and others around the state. She stated the proposed center in Castle Dale would be the same.
In the past, a children's justice center was located in Castle Dale, but due to circumstances more than a year ago, the center was closed. Wright has been working with the Emery County Commissioners to open another center in the county. A parcel of property was located on Center Street in Castle Dale and Wright was asking about the zoning and regulations to construct a center on this property.
This parcel of property will be donated by the Emery County School District for the construction. They have also donated the labor to be done on the building by the construction classes from Emery High School. The only items which would need to be purchased will be the building materials.
Emery County Commissioner Gary Kofford said, "This will not be a conventional home with someone living there all the time. It will look like a home and that design will provide a more comfortable atmosphere for the children who will be there at times. This will also be a safe house for those in need. We are inquiring about any special use permits that will be needed to begin construction. We are just exploring options and there are still some things that need to be worked out. I feel this will be an asset to Castle Dale."
Wright added that the lot will be fully landscaped and there are several youth groups who will maintain the landscaping.
Mayor Peacock said he was excited about this project, but he has concerns about the zoning of the location. Peacock asked the city's zoning administrator Kerry Lake to look into the details of the ordinances and the possibility of this center being built in Castle Dale.
Lake stated the zoning committee will hold a special meeting to investigate and they will check the legality of the project.
Councilman Joel Dorsch presented a proposal to the council concerning renting stalls from a city resident to be located at the Blue Sage Arena at the fairgrounds. The contract he presented has been reviewed and approved by the city's attorney. Dempsey Jeffs will do his Eagle project and make the signs for the arena.
"The stalls are the logical next step at the arena," said Dorsch. "This contract is only for a three month period and will be reviewed at that time." The council approved to enter into this contract.
Another item for discussion was the proposal to reduce lot size in the county areas adjacent to the cities in Emery County. The proposal is suggesting to reduce the amount of acreage from 10 acres to two acres for building a home in the county. Mayor Peacock stated Castle Dale City has discussed this issue and is opposed to this ordinance change.
"The commissioners will make the ultimate decision about this change. If this measure is approved, the cities in the county will feel pressure from those residents building on those lots to provide services that they are not paying city taxes for. There are instances like that now, but they were grandfathered into the system before many of the ordinances were established. We, as a council, must plan for and research this issue and how the city will handle the possibilities," said Mayor Peacock.
Councilman Brad Giles said, "One important issue in the proposed change is the governing body of the city will have the ultimate say before a building permit can be issued. Right now, it is against Castle Dale City ordinances as far as water is concerned."
Castle Dale City calendars will be distributed after Christmas. A New Year's Eve party will be hosted by the Emery High Peer Helpers at Emery Recreation Center on Dec. 31 from 5-9 p.m. It will be a family oriented party with food and games.

Colorado State University announced on Sept. 5 that it is moving ahead with plans to launch a "significant presence" in the south metro Denver area early next year.
"The CSU South Metro Denver presence is one of the last essential elements for us to prosper economically in this global environment," John Brackney, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, said in a news release. "We are deeply appreciative of CSU for its desire to leverage the strength of our businesses community, specifically in relationship to STEM disciplines, and for considering the possibilities of cooperative education in direct partnership with major employers."
The first classes will begin in January 2014 and are part of a systems-engineering master's degree program. No specific location has been announced. CSU spokesman Kyle Henley said university officials are working with a number of local tech companies in hopes of utilizing their training facilities for those classes.
Ronald M. Sega, CSU's vice president and enterprise executive for energy and the environment, will serve as a liaison to the business community and as the lead academic adviser. Sega is a former NASA astronaut and retired major general in the U.S. Air Force.
"One of the real opportunities of the CSU-South Metro project is to provide key graduate-level programs that clearly fill strategic needs for the region's business community," Sega said. "I'm looking forward to meeting with our corporate partners in the coming weeks and months to discuss how we can serve them and support the region's strong track record of economic growth."
In fall of 2014, CSU will add four-year degrees in business and nursing, and more as demand is realized. But Henley said the intent is not to compete with local community colleges, and that CSU has in fact been working closely with Arapahoe Community College in Littleton and other higher-education institutions in the area.
"We've had a lot of conversations with ACC and continue to work closely with them," said Henley. "We see a lot of very promising relationships, and we're going to continue to talk with them."
CSU System Chancellor Mike Martin said partnering with community colleges means graduates don't have to leave Denver or commute to continue their college education. In addition, it will help keep CSU's start-up costs low, eliminate overlap and help guide two-year graduates toward a bachelor's degree. CSU hopes to build a permanent facility in the region in the next three to five years, though Henley said a location has not yet been chosen.
"This is one of the last highly populated regions in Colorado that is not being served in a meaningful way by a public four-year institution of higher education, and we believe that through collaboration and partnerships, the CSU System can help build a new model to deliver local, high-quality degree programs that meet the needs of the south-metro region's students and businesses," said Martin.
Brackney applauds that approach.
"Business leaders have been advocating a four-year public institute of higher education in south-metro Denver for decades, and now, thanks to CSU, that vision is coming to reality soon," he said.

I've read that RAID z performs better that RAIDz2 and that Striped Mirrored Vdevs outperforms them all.
Is that correct?
LG Android devices.
Thanks for your help.
In real world terms, if in the future I streamed video from this NAS to three/four different PC's which RAID would I benifit from?
Thats promising that theres a real world example.
I was torn between ZFS RAID 10 and RAID2z, but I'll prob go for RAIDz2 now that I know that.
I also like the sounds of OpenIndiana that you mentioned.
Just so I can confirm, once I have the RAIDz2 setup, if the OS HDD, motherboard or other hardware should fail, I can move the RAIDz2 HDD's to a new setup, reinstall OpenIndianaor or another OS with the same or higher version of the pool and my RAID should be up and running again?
what would the hardware requirments be for OpenIndiana? On there FAQ it says:
Disk space: Recommended size is 7GB. A minimum of 3GB is required. Memory: The minimum requirement is 512MB. Recommended size is 768MB.
On other sites I have seen Min 4GB RAM.
May I ask the specs of your hardware?

I have a AMD 4600+ X2 (this is a pretty old processor by today's standards) with 16GB of RAM (personally, I would say 4GB should be the minimum, but with RAM as cheap as it is, I'd really go for 8 or even 16GB myself). I use an IBM m1015 flashed with LSI IT firmware for my HBA (my motherboard only has 4 SATA ports). I use aIso use dual port Intel gigabit NICs lag'd together. have (2) 160GB 2.5" laptop drives in a ZFS mirror for my root filesystem. I have (9) 2TB hard drives that are a mix of Hitachi 5K3000's and Seagate ST2000DL003's. On my machine I get sequential write speeds of 525MB/s and reads of 632MB/s, so it's more than fast enough for home use

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Reporter
All of us have that one extra curricular activity in our lives that makes us go and do things that any other sane human being would consider to be nuts. We all have that one passionate item that time, money or presence of bodily danger seems to have no place in the relevance of decision making when it comes to participating or not.
For some of us it is fishing or hunting, for others of us it is gambling or rafting. For me, I guess, it was ball games. Whether playing or broadcasting or watching, whether softball or baseball or football or whatever, it was no big deal for me to drive five hours for an one hour contest.
For my son Adam and his friend Jeff, also an Emery County alumni, it is quad racing. It is putting yourself on a 4- wheeler and doing all sorts of just plain stupid stuff.
Now I know that most of you have a 4-wheeler or a 3-wheeler or an off-road bike in your backyard that you enjoy riding out in the desert. And I know that you also enjoy going real fast sometimes and doing that occasional 3- 4 foot jump that makes you feel real good inside.
But that is not what I'm talking about here with my son. No not these guys. They like jumping their bikes off cliffs and landing 50 feet down the mountainside or riding so fast that when they hit a jump they sail through the air another 50 feet or they take corners at five times the speed that normal people would think of. And when they crash, and they do crash, they just jump back on and keep going.
These two over the past several years have not been satisfied with traveling to local racetracks like Delta or Richfield or St George every other weekend of the year.
These two do not like our exotic Utah destinations. These two think that they have to use their vast financial resources and sparse vacation time to travel the United States in search of another track calling their names.
They have been this year to Lake Havasu and Phoenix and San Diego and they hear San Bernadino calling their names next week. They have been to St Louis and Houston and Tennessee and Denver. They are talking about Detroit.
It doesn't matter if the track is indoors or out, long or short. They do desert racing that is like 50 miles long or something. It doesn't matter the venue, just that there is a venue. They ride in dust and rain and mud and snow, the conditions just do not matter, the ride does.
They spend thousands on bikes, just to see if they can do it faster or higher or for more excitement. They are nuts but they enjoy it.
And that is the secret of their happiness. They play, they enjoy, they work hard and they live. Passion keeps us alive and makes life worth living, they just take it to extremes.

Super cute
"I fell in love with these high heels at the first sight.Overall, they're 100% of my expectation in terms of style. What I also like is that they're not like some high heels that may hurt the front bottom of your feet. They're soft when you're on them!However, I do have to talk about the down side of these pumps. They run a little shorter. Also the back rim of these pumps rubs the back of my ankles a lot while I'm walking in them. I wish they could just have belts on the back rather than the covers."

My baby has started school. I am wondering how long it will be before she is coming home and teaching me the things that she has learned, that I didn't know.
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''

|In response to Re: Cycling well pump
: I have a well pump that is used for irrigation only, and it has been cycling from day-one. I am not sure which is worse for the motor and/or pump: cycling (constantly going on/off) or running continuously for < 1 hour at a time.
: I think that cycling is worse as the pump should be able to take an hour of work without a problem. Any thoughts?

LOS ANGELES — Cheryl Hines has gone from the small TV screen to the even smaller screen.
The actress, best known as Larry David's long-suffering ex-wife on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and as the saucy neighbor on ABC's Suburgatory, has entered the world of original Internet programming with We Need Help, a new series for Yahoo.
We met at her home here to discuss making Web TV, her favorite apps, why she misses her old BlackBerry phone and how Internet research sends her down a "rabbit hole."
MORE: Yahoo beefs up Web entertainment offerings
"A few years ago we thought about this and someone suggested doing a Web series. I'm embarrassed to say I was really judgmental. I thought, `Web series? Who watches a Web series?' " But in the last few years technology has changed. Now you're watching everything on your iPhone, iPad computer and kids these days really watch everything on their computer. I feel like it's a different world, and there's a real place for that."
Yahoo's Burning Love reality spoof and Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy, on her MacBook Pro laptop.
Actress Cheryl Hines talks to Jefferson Graham about keeping her iPhone charged, and about how she misses her old BlackBerry.
An iPhone, iPad, the $99 Mophie battery pack for her iPhone and an old BlackBerry. "You plug the Mophie into the iPhone and it's charging at the same time." Her iPhone usually lasts two to three hours, but with the Mophie it's an extra eight hours. "The BlackBerry would never run out of battery," she says about her older device of choice. She switched to iPhone because she liked how you can enlarge the text on the screen. "Sometimes for work someone will send me a script to read, but I couldn't read it on my BlackBerry. I needed the iPhone."
Actress Cheryl Hines discusses her favorite apps on Talking Your Tech.
— Texas Holdem Poker (free; Apple, Android). She likes to play the poker app on the set while waiting for scenes to start and on airplanes. "It's fun if you're really bored."
— Yahoo Weather (free; Apple, Android). "It shows what the weather looks like in other cities. I love that."
— Vine (free; Apple, Android). Her daughter enjoys using the Twitter app to make six-second videos, which are often looped, but Hines doesn't get it. "I don't find (Vines) very entertaining. You see the same thing over and over."
Cheryl Hines talks abouit going down the "rabbit hole" of Internet research and discovering fans of her feet online.
"What happens to me, and probably happens to most people, is you go down a rabbit hole when you start looking up" stuff online. "I'll look up, `What are the words to The Star-Spangled Banner,' and the next thing I know, I'm looking to see how (actor) John Stamos lost weight. I somehow went down that rabbit hole one night and ended up watching a video that had been put to music of shots of my feet. I really try not to Google myself — because nothing good comes from it."
"I don't spend a lot of time in front of my computer, and when I do, I think the time should be spent answering e-mails." She's tried Twitter, and has an account, but tweets infrequently. "I don't really follow anyone," she says. She was following CNN's Anderson Cooper, "but he's too chatty," generating too many tweets for her to keep up with. She unfollowed him. "I can't even answer my e-mails—I don't have time to read tweets, too."

The search for the motivations of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers stretches from New England to Central Asia, but a lot of attention has been focused on Dagestan.
The mostly Muslim republic is located in the southernmost part of Russia, and it's been the battleground in a low-level insurgency that takes lives nearly every day.
One of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, traveled to Dagestan twice in recent years, and investigators want to know whether that experience led him toward a radical and violent form of Islam.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's parents and other relatives lived in the republic's capital, Makhachkala, a city of nearly 600,000 that sprawls along the Caspian Sea. The city backs up against the North Caucasus, the blue-green mountains that have made places like Dagestan and neighboring Chechnya havens for bandits and rebels for centuries.
A Mosque Under Scrutiny
Makhachkala is dotted with mosques, but there's one on Kotrova Street that has drawn a steady stream of investigators and reporters. The mosque is known as a center for the fundamentalist Salafi strain of Islam, and it's where Tamerlan's father said his son came to pray during trips to the region in 2011 and 2012.
The tall, green-domed building is being expanded, and bearded young men work among piles of construction materials in the courtyard. A young man with a bushy brown beard says he's never seen Tamerlan and that a scheduled interview with the imam of the mosque has been canceled.
Other men from the mosque angrily demand to know why attention is being focused on them. This keeps up until the imam, Gasan Gasanaliyev, shows up and agrees to talk.
Gasanaliyev says he never met Tamerlan Tsarnaev and that the young men in his congregation have told him the same.
"Many people come here," he says. "Who knows who they are, what they are. They come and go."
Gasanaliyev says his teaching adheres strictly to the Quran and that his mosque has never been a gathering place for radicals or terrorism.
Sources close to Russia's federal security service, the FSB, have reportedly said that Tsarnaev's attendance at this Salafi mosque was one of the things that triggered the request for the FBI to investigate the young man's activities in Boston.
Salafis in Makhachkala say they are unfairly branded as religious extremists and targeted by the security forces. One of them, 34-year-old businessman Idris Yusupov, has a long brown beard and a closely trimmed upper lip — a style that makes his religious affiliation clear.
Yusupov says Russian security forces snatched him off the street a couple of years ago. They took him to a station where they put a plastic bag over his head and interrogated him for nearly five hours, he says.
They demanded to know why he dressed as he did, why he went to a certain mosque and whether he believed the imams.
No charges were ever filed, Yusupov says, and no explanation was ever given.
Insurgency At Home
Yusupov's experience is one that Salafis say is repeated all too often in Dagestan, contributing to the resentments that turn young men into militants.
The Dagestani town of Khasavyurt has seen its share of the militant insurgency. It's a market town and trade center, just a mile and a half from the Chechen border.
Last summer and fall, the town saw a lot of bloodshed, with six policemen killed in one attack and four militants killed in another.
The mayor of the town, Saigidpasha Umakhanov, says things have calmed down lately, in part because security forces are trying to be more evenhanded in dealing with religious fundamentalists.
The most important thing, Umakhanov says, is to restore some trust in the security forces. He says local officials have started a program to lure young men back from the militant groups, and that includes seeking help from parents whose sons have gone off to join the insurgents.
Gebek Manayev thought he had lost his youngest son to the insurgency. The 51-year-old construction worker says his son left home without warning; the Russian expression for it is "going to the forest," meaning going to join the militants.
Manayev says his son, who was just 20, was gone for three months. They searched through all the surrounding villages and farms for him.
The boy's mother finally made contact with him and convinced him that it was safe to come home. Because he had committed no crimes, Manayev says, local officials vouched for him to the security forces.
Manayev says he feels sorry for those who were killed and hurt in the Boston bombings, and ashamed that the attackers are said to be Chechens, like him. He can't understand why the Tsarnaevs would be unhappy in America or why they would lash out at their country of refuge.
"I don't approve of such things," he says. "Never will. God made us, and God should take us back. We shouldn't die by someone else's hands."

In the car on the way to your doctor's appointment is a great time to drink some of the 64 ounces of fluid you need to drink each day. At each of your prenatal visits, you'll be provided with a cup and a bathroom and asked to produce a urine sample. Once you hand the cup over to the nurse, they will dip a stick in it to test your sugar and protein levels, and you'll be given the results of the test immediately if they're unusual.
Some extra sugar in your urine is normal during pregnancy, but too much appearing two visits in a row may indicate gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a common condition for pregnant women, and can be confirmed with a glucose screen (a blood test taken an hour after drinking a special sugar solution).
When your body is unable to generate or process enough insulin, the hormone that your pancreas uses to turn sugar into fuel, diabetes develops. Since babies increase the demand on their mother's insulin supply, many expectant mothers develop diabetes and need to control it with diet and exercise or medication throughout their pregnancy. Although gestational diabetes is rare and disappears after delivery, it is the most common complication of pregnancy. And unfortunately, half of the women who have gestational diabetes go on to develop full-fledged diabetes within the next 20 years.
The presence of excess protein in urine samples is relatively rare; however, it can be a symptom of preeclampsia. Other symptoms include high blood pressure and excessive swelling or very rapid weight gain in the second half of your pregnancy. Preeclampsia can restrict the flow of blood to the placenta, and therefore, food and oxygen to your baby. If you have too much protein in your urine, your doctor may put you on bedrest. Bedrest will lower your blood pressure and ensure your placenta receives all the blood it needs, and lying on your left side can further improve the flow of blood to your uterus and kidneys. If bedrest alone doesn't lower your blood pressure, your doctor may suggest early delivery.
Fortunately, there is probably no need for you to worry about gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. Just make sure you are drinking enough liquid and getting to your doctor's office on time!

Awesome ConditionerI love this conditioner. I started using it about a 2 years ago. I find that I do not have to wash my hair as much. I use to wash my hair every other day but now I only have to wash it a couple of times a week. I use it with the shampoo and both products last a long time because you do not have to use very much.It makes my hair silky and manageble and I live in Florida. I would recommend this product. Folica please continue to keep both products in stock.Apr 2, 2012Denise / FloridaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

My Miracle Detangler!Before I came across this product, I would not dare wash my hair at home. If I did so, I would literally have lumps of hair falling off in my attempt to comb through my entangled hair. This product has a way of softening/detangling one's hair and adding a certain glow, bounce and vibrancy; all in one bottle. For best results, I highly recommend combining it with the Maxesse Moisturizing Shampoo.
You should definitely try this!Nov 3, 2011Jacqueline / United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair
