Shortlist announced for the 2013 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Jul 16/13| For Immediate Release
Ute Lischke, Professor
WATERLOO Three books have been shortlisted for the 2013 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. The $10,000 award, administered by Wilfrid Laurier University, encourages and recognizes Canadian writers for a first or second work of creative non-fiction that includes a Canadian locale and/or significance.
Award juror and Laurier Professor Ute Lischke said this years submissions represent an interesting cross section of topics in creative non-fiction, a genre that has become exceedingly popular.
As always, the jury found it difficult to make a decision, but after many hours of deliberation, came up with a shortlist, said Lischke. The three books, ranging from memoirs set against shifting Middle Eastern politics and age-old conflicts to a gripping reconstruction of a 1984 plane crash in northern Alberta, are worthy to be short-listed for the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction.
The books on the 2013 shortlist are:
Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes by Kamal Al-Solaylee (HarperCollins, 2012)
Intolerable is the fascinating story of a Yemeni familys adventures and vicissitudes over the past 50 years, after they were uprooted from a privileged life in Yemen, moving first to Beirut, then to Cairo and finally back to Yemen. The youngest of 11 children born to an illiterate shepherdess and a proud businessman, Kamal Al-Solaylee effectively explains the shifting Middle Eastern politics and culture over the 50-year period, weaving into his memoir the personal journey that set him apart from his family and eventually led him to Canada, where he could make a home for himself as an out gay man.
A Thousand Farewells: A Reporters Journey from Refugee Camp to the Arab Spring by Nahlah Ayed (Viking, 2012)
In her memoir, A Thousand Farewells, CBC foreign correspondent Nahlah Ayed describes how her unusual childhood influenced her eventual decision to become a journalist covering the Middle East during one of its most tumultuous periods in the modern era. As a child, Ayed lived first in Winnipeg, where her father ran a convenience store, and then in a refugee settlement camp in Jordan when her Palestinian parents decided they wanted their children to grow up immersed in the Arabic language and culture. From there, Ayed chronicles her growing interest in trying to understand the age-old conflicts of the region that led to her becoming a journalist. In spare, literary prose, she offers a unique glimpse of the people and daily life behind the headlines about war and unrest in the Middle East.
Into the Abyss: How a Deadly Plane Crash Changed the Lives of a Pilot, a Politician, a Criminal and a Cop by Carol Shaben (Random House Canada, 2012)
In Into the Abyss, Carol Shaben reconstructs a 1984 commuter plane crash in northern Alberta that killed six passengers and wounded four othersincluding Shabens father, a prominent cabinet minister. After watching how the accident affected her father for many years, Shaben, a former CBC writer and broadcaster, decided to find out more about it. While the story is an expertly researched, detailed reconstruction of the crash and a call for better oversight of small, commuter airlines, its heart lies in the portraits she draws of the crashs survivors: her father, the pilot, and an RCMP officer and the prisoner he was transporting. Through interviews and written documents, Shaben paints a haunting portrait of the bond created among the survivors and how the crash affected their lives.
The winner of the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction will be announced July 30, 2013. Award presentations honouring the winner will take place Nov. 13, 2013 at Lauriers Waterloo and Brantford campuses.

Skip to comments.Bali drugs: Death sentence for Briton Lindsay Sandiford
Posted on 01/22/2013 8:54:52 AM PST by JohnPDuncan
A 56-year-old British grandmother has been sentenced to death by firing squad in Indonesia for drug trafficking.
Lindsay Sandiford was arrested at Bali's airport in May last year after 4.8kg (10.6lb) of cocaine was found in the lining of her suitcase during a routine customs check.
Sandiford, whose last UK address was in Gloucestershire, said she was coerced into bringing the drugs to the island.
Foreign Office minister Hugo Swire has condemned the sentence.
He told MPs the government strongly objected to the death penalty imposed.
Her lawyers have said they were "surprised" at the verdict and would appeal. Prosecutors had recommended a 15-year sentence of imprisonment.
There was an audible gasp of surprise in the courtroom when the verdict was delivered.
Although the maximum penalty for drug trafficking in Indonesia is death, the prosecution had recommended a 15 year sentence, saying Sandiford's age should be taken into consideration and the fact that she has no prior convictions.
But delivering their verdict the judges said there were no mitigating reasons that convinced them they should reduce their sentence.
They added that Mrs Sandiford did not appear to care about the consequences of her actions.
Walking out of the court room the 56-year-old from Gloucestershire appeared shocked, covering her head with a brown sarong, hiding her face from the glare of the cameras.
Her lawyer has said they will definitely appeal. He added it was very rare that judges delivered a sentence that was so much harsher than the prosecution had recommended.
But the judges said there were no mitigating circumstances and the defendant did not appear to care about the consequences of her actions.
They said Sandiford had damaged the image of Bali as a tourism destination and weakened the government's anti-drugs programme.
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.co.uk ...
Sitting by the fire, knitting sweaters, baking apple pie, giving her grandchildren catechism lessons and singing lullabies to them.
that's harsh. Especially when prosecutors only asked for 15 years which is all but a life sentence for her. It's not the difference between the recommended 15 years and, say, 20 or 25 years. Stupid woman but don't know that the death penalty fits.
With 5 kilos of blow she probably does all that stuff at the same time!
She better hurry up that knitting.
but nothing says vacation getaway like a firing squad. The Indonesians should worry more about muslim suicide bombers if they really care about Bali's tourist image.
This is another great example of "Oops, I'm not in (fill in the home country) anymore." People leave places where they have certain expectations of justice and the court system and become surprised when they find out not all countries are the same.
You break their law, you suffer their consequences.
In the U.S. a 56 year old person given a death sentence has absolutely no chance of being executed, with at least twenty years of appeals. In Bali, not so much. She'll either have her sentence commuted or be dead by March.
Hum, any chance we can get His Excellency to go back to his homeland with some bags I can pack for him???
Grandma got busted with some Cocaine.
At an Indonesian airport back in May.
Judge says she's going to meet her maker.
Will they even send her corpse back?
Who's to say?
Always keep a close eye on your luggage, when traveling abroad. I would probably go use the washroom, to check on the luggage at the last minute, to be sure that nobody has tampered with it.
Well, if she's a grandma then let her go! /sarc
She should have just wore a burqa and blown up a niteclub....she would have been home by now
Drugs are bad....but Islam is much worse. People need to stop the political correctness about Islam.....and realize it is an evil cult that proselytizes a Pedophile Prophet. Do not vacation in Islamic countries...especially if you are carrying drugs or are a Christian. Islam is Evil
This is 11 pounds of the stuff, not exactly the 100 grams somebody might slip in without you noticing.
But you obviously give excellent advice.
The drug smuggler in this case, however, is not arguing that someone switched her luggage. I believe her argument is that she acted as a courier only because thugs were threatening to murder members of her family that were employees of the drugdealers.
Hate to sound cold, but she broke their laws and she will have to suffer their consequence.
While death seems harsh to westerners, this is Bali's law. People who go to other countries and break their laws often think they will be treated as they would be in their home country. Unfortunately for them, it just doesn't work that way.
It would have been smarter for the entire family to move across the country.
If a family member came to me, saying I need to smuggle drugs to save his life, I'd probably shoot him myself.
Grandma says, "Ya pays yer money and ya takes your chance."
You're just tryin' to cheer me up ;)
She was 36 at the time of her offense. If all goes well, she won't see her 53rd birthday. I still believe the chances of a 56 year-old offender getting the hot shot in the good ol' U.S.A. is effectively zero, even if they beg for it.
Why heck yeah! She won't mind!
Well, I bet the folks being executed don't deal or abuse drugs anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm libertarian on drug use. No. I do not. Smoke dope. I don't want anyone in my family to, either. But if, God forbide, they do, I don't want them going to prison for it.
No one goes to Indonesia without being forewarned of their penalties for drug smuggling.
She shouldn't be surprised at what she got.
Well, I bet the folks being executed don't deal or abuse drugs anymore.
What percentage of them are being caught? What percentage of them can we hope to catch in a free society?
Don't get me wrong, I'm libertarian on drug use. No. I do not. Smoke dope. I don't want anyone in my family to, either. But if, God forbid, they do, I don't want them going to prison for it.
Good to hear!
At least she'll leave the grandkids with one of life's important lessons.
My concern for those who use or especially traffic in drugs is as follows:
Never don't mind drug trafficking, shoot 'er for sheer stupidity!
As they say on this forum, I could care less!
"Grandmother, why do you have such a white nose?"
For those who don't know, Bali is a major destination for Hollywood, Rock Stars and uber-rich honeymoons.
You don't have to be rich to go there but I suspect this was the eventual target for the drugs.
Speaking from experience, I can tell you that granny might have gotten away with it had she carried the coke in pounds instead of kilograms!
Granny had a jug with "corn-squeezins," as she called it.
With Granny's moonshine, who needs cocaine?
Then there were the Baldwin sisters on "The Waltons," who liked to serve visitors their Daddy's "recipe" (more moonshine).
Liberaltarians should be dropped off over Indonesia, so they can campaign against the Islamist "war on drugs."
This reminds me of the movie "Return to Paradise."

Bills place Troup on injured reserve
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 23 2012 3:29PM
It's been a tumultuous start to say the least for Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Torell Troup. And with the news on Thursday, he'll have to wait even longer to make the impact on the team that he's wanted since being drafted in 2010.
The Bills announced on Thursday that they have placed Troup on injured reserve, effectively ending his season. It is the second straight season that Troup has landed on the IR due to a back injury. In 2011, the defensive tackle had been plagued by it all season long before the team ended his season in November.
He had major back surgery in December, and has been fighting to rehab it and get back in time for the 2012 season. Troup took a step forward on the team's conditioning day, one day ahead of the Bills' first official practice at training camp. When practice came calling, Troup was doing much worse. Since that time, he's been attempting to get back in to practice, trying to work his way in to team drills and riding a stationary bike in between.
In the end however, the Bills decided placing Troup on the injured reserve was the better option for both parties. Chan Gailey said, "I told him when we visited I'm proud if him for the way he fought to get back, but he just couldn't make it and we saw he wasn't going to make it this year so we wanted to not let him worry about it anymore and go get well and we'll give him a run next year."
With roster spots along the defensive line hard to come by this season, this move ensures that Troup will remain a member of the organization for the beginning of 2013. Looking forward, backup defensive tackles Dwan Edwards and Spencer Johnson are each in the final year of their contract, so cutting a player at that position with many years spent in the organization may not have been the most enticing option.
Instead Troup will be around for his third-straight season, and be able to rehabilitate his back without having to rush a potential return. Bills coaches have always been very complimentary of Troup in his time on the field, especially during 2010's version of training camp.
Back in July, Troup told WGR that trying to get through this back injury was like trying to fight
his "own demon."
Troup played in only six games in 2011 before finding his way on injured reserve in late November. He was active for 15 games during his rookie campaign.
The Bills are now down to 85 players on the active roster. They have until August 27 to cut down to 75.

Together/Apart is the highly anticipated Rhymesayers debut album from Grieves. Teaming up with longtime friend and producer Budo, Together/Apart is an album infused with soulful horns, keys, and guitar. Lyrically, the album encompasses both the difficulties and joys of maintaining professional and personal relationships when on the road and back at home. The new album demonstrates Grieves' artistic and emotional growth made manifest. His earlier albums, Irreversible, 88 Keys & Counting, and latest EP The Confessions of Mr. Modest held together strong and built the following of devoted fans excited for his latest installment. His Rhymesayers' debut is his proclamation of professionalism, 16 tracks created from years of hard work and constant touring.
In his latest release, Grieves raps triumphantly alone and holds his own throughout most of the album, on tracks "Tragic" and "No Matter What," Brother Ali and Krukid stand tall alongside Grieves with pride in the solid work produced. The first single "Lightspeed", is a tutorial for anyone who had never experienced Grieves before, a gateway drug to the complex arrangements that become more intricate, the verses progressively deeper, as the record unfolds. "Bloody Poetry", the second single, is evidence of this. As SPIN quotes, "Part inspirational pep talk, part therapy session, and part crooning song of devotion, the track shows off Grieves' lyrical dexterity and a bleeding heart".
Together/Apart, showcases the amazing growth of this dynamic artist on the verge. The initial pressing of Together/Apart will feature a bonus DVD entitled Present/Tense, a biography-style documentary giving listeners an inside look at what inspired Together/Apart, as well as live and behind the scenes footage.

David Prudames, British Museum
Last week, the extremely exciting news broke of the discovery of the ship-burial of a high-status Viking in Scotland.
The excavation was undertaken by a team of experts from a number of institutions working on the Ardnamurchan Transitions Project, which is exploring evidence on the Ardnamurchan peninsula on the west coast of Scotland for the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age periods (from about 9000 to about 1000 BC).
Laid to rest at least 1,000 years ago, this must have been an important individual as his remains were found surrounded by what's left of a large ship (mainly just rivets, as the wood it was built from has rotted away) and possessions including a sword, shield, knife, axe, bronze ringed pin and whetstone.
There's an article about the discovery on the Guardian newspaper website, as well as a video of the axe being excavated. On the BBC website there are a couple of videos about the finds, one of a BBC Scotland news report and a short interview with Oliver Harris, a member of the excavation team.
Some of the finds shown in these videos are very similar to objects in the collection of the British Museum, where the Vikings are well-represented.
My colleague Barry Ager told me about another boat burial dating back to more or less the same period as this one. It was discovered in Lilleberge Norway in the nineteenth century, and there is a large collection of iron rivets from it in our collection online.
There's a selection of interesting Viking objects in an online tour on our website, including a hair comb made out of an antler; an iron spearhead found in the River Thames, and the remarkable Cuerdale hoard discovered in the nineteenth century – the largest hoard of Viking silver from western Europe (over 40kg of it), stashed away during a time of upheaval.
This fascinating discovery also reminded me of a much earlier ship-burial, objects from which are on display here at the British Museum. The burial at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk is not Viking, rather it held the remains of an Anglo-Saxon of clearly high status and surrounded by some incredible finds, many of which have become rightly famous – the magnificent helmet in particular.
A new display in Room 2 at the British Museum shows some of these finds in the context of the wider early medieval world of Europe and beyond, while their permanent home undergoes a refurbishment.
It interestingly places the both Anglo-Saxons and Vikings – among others – in the wider context of contact and trade across a vast area from Scandinavia to north Africa, the Atlantic to the Black Sea.

Oops! I missed some of your responses till now. Thanks for all the kind words. I haven't asked again for help getting a piece of furniture out of the garage into the house. I can't do it by myself. A lot of my family members are really busy.

The weekend's final match sees the Waratahs hosting the Western Force in what promises to be an exciting derby in Sydney on Sunday.
The weekend's final match sees the Waratahs hosting the Western Force in what promises to be an exciting derby in Sydney on Sunday.
Both sides head into this match on the back of impressive performances in their pre-season matches. The Waratahs lost their first warm-up fixture narrowly against the Rebels before securing fine victories over the Blues and Highlanders.
The Force's pre-season programme saw them playing two matches and they won both convincingly over Samoa A and the Argentine Pampas.
After last year's indifferent form, Waratahs supporters expect a much better overall effort from their side and they will fancy their chances of making a positive start to the season against the Force, who they have beaten in eight of their 11 previous matches.
They should, however, not underestimate their opponents, who won two and drew one of the three remaining fixtures and interestingly all of those results came in Sydney.
The big talking point from the Waratahs camp is the selection of Wallabies stalwart Kurtley Beale at inside centre. As a full-back or fly-half, he is amongst the best in the business – especially on attack – but it will be interesting to see how he performs in his new role and how his battle with the Force's highly-rated midfielder Kyle Godwin pans out.
Much has also been made of the breakdown duel. Waratahs number eight Wycliff Palu has identified this as one of the Force's strengths and with Wallaby scavenger Michael Hooper in the homeside's ranks and Matt Hodgson – who has also represented Australia at international level – wearing the Force's number seven jersey, we can expect a spectacular battle for the loose ball.
This match will be a momentous occasion for the Force's former All Blacks scrum-half Alby Mathewson, who is playing in his 100th Super Rugby match.
Mathewson concedes that the Force will start the game as underdogs but he believes his side have the abiltiy to cause an upset, especially considering that they have won two and drawn one of their five matches against their hosts in Sydney.
"I guess the Western Force always goes under the radar but we've been plodding away in the pre-season, going really well and working really hard and there is a good buzz around the group," he told the Australian.
"We're assuming that's going to be the media's mindset. The Waratahs on the bench are going to be Wallabies, they've got so many over there. But we know what we can do as a group.
"We showed that towards the end of last year against the likes of the Crusaders (16-14) and Brumbies (21-15) and the Reds twice (beating them 19-12 at Suncorp and then drawing with them 11-11 in Perth)."
Prediction: There's plenty of hype in Australia about the Waratahs and their chances in this year's comeptition but although they should claim the win in their own backyard, it won't be easy. Waratahs to win by five points.

Crawling along a simulated overhead transmission line shield wire at roughly 1 mph (1.6 kmph), a robot called "Ti" is moving us closer to realizing the promise of the smart grid. Ti is fully armed with an array of remote-sensing technologies, including LiDAR, high-definition cameras, RF sensors, an electromagnetic interference detector and GPS. This mechanical inspector is collecting critical data on the state of the transmission grid.
Today, Ti is crawling along a line in EPRI's High-Voltage Test Laboratory in Lenox, Massachusetts, U.S. In the future, Ti might be crawling along energized lines at your utility.
Ti, one of EPRI's more complex attempts, is intended to be a permanent fixture on transmission lines, making two circuits of an approximately 80-mile (129-km) loop per year. Because Ti will draw power directly from the line, it is expected to have a life expectancy on the order of a decade, although routine maintenance will be performed every two years.
When fully operational, Ti will be on the job 24/7, 365 days a year, replacing both ground patrols and flybys, and providing more and better quality data. With its suite of sensors, the robot will be able to pick up subtle abnormalities often missed by living and breathing inspectors, and, as such, can be considered a transmission line inspector itself.
Ti's suite of sensors offers many features:
High-definition visual and infrared cameras that not only will determine clearances between conductors, trees and other objects in the right-of-way, but also will be able to compare present and historical images of components to spotlight dangerous changes.
A Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor that measures exact distances, such as conductor height and position, vegetation height, nearby structures and obstructions in the right-of-way.
An electromagnetic interference detector that will collect data on discharge activity, such as arcing or corona.
Bringing It All Together
A communications system that will pick up and relay data to system operators from both the on-board sensors and any number of RF sensors (lightning, vibration, leakage current) along the transmission line right-of-way, providing a real-time assessment of conditions and actionable information on components such as insulators, conductors and compression connectors. Histograms will be available to help system operators enable assessment and set limits that trigger maintenance.
A weather station to measure temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure.
A microphone to listen for line audible noise.
A GPS and inertial tracking system to identify both the robot's location and speed, as well as the location of existing and potential problem areas and components along the ling.
Of necessity, in addition to all its "smartness," the robot is designed to be very agile. While its primary home is a transmission line shield wire, it can glide by structures and travel over armor rod splices and other obstacles, such as marker balls, relatively easily by automatically disconnecting itself from the shield wire, moving onto a pre-installed bypass system, then re-engaging the shield wire to continue inspecting. Further, if an outage occurs farther down the transmission line, the robot can be accelerated up to 5 mph (8 kmph), in many cases getting to the outage site to assess the situation before field crews arrive.
Composite insulators can flash under due to moisture ingress, then dry out again to give the appearance of a good insulator. When investigating the cause of outages, Ti can be sent to the flashover location (typically within a few hours) and also monitor subsequent activity when the line is re-energized. The robot can do a detailed visual survey to find flash marks or the carcass of a bird before the coyotes take it away. It also can sit at the outage location and do some monitoring for a few days to identify intermittent causes.
Using a smart phone, system operators or line workers can control where Ti goes, how long it stays there and what is does in the process. If Ti is probing a transmission line in some truly remote regions of the Rockies or Southwestern desert, for example, then controllers could operate the robot using satellite communications. Of course, if Ti encounters severe ice, a broken strand wire or some other obstacle that prohibits movement, it is smart enough to stay put and call for help, just like any other commuter heading to work.
We, indeed, have a lot of work yet to do to make our power grids truly "smart." Sensing devices like our industry robot, Ti, will be one of the many as we look to truly understand and appropriately respond to the health of our network.
Andrew Phillips (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the director of transmission and substations research at EPRI.

Curators' Statements
Stephen Althouse
Gallery of Art, Barry University, Miami, Florida
October 12 - November 25, 2001
Gallery talk by the artist, Wednesday, October 17, 12:00 noon
It may be said that contemporary Western art is a reflection of our society, sometimes as documentation, sometimes as approval, sometimes as criticism, and sometimes as concern. This retrospective exhibition of photographic images by Stephen Althouse has been curated in response to the terrible tragedy of September 11, 2001. In the selection and narrowing process for this exhibition, images were chosen which illustrate the recurrence of specific elements that permeate much of Althouse's work. Weapons, both primitive (Amazonian blowgun darts, stone implements) and sophisticated (stealth bomber), have been symbols utilized by the artist since the late 1960's not as advocacy of violence but, after one knows the background of the artist, just the opposite. Raised in rural Pennsylvania, and receiving a Quaker education, Althouse contemplated his early twenties and late teenage years under the influence of the Vietnam War, which at that time was a vague and misunderstood military campaign radically affecting his generation, the politics of that era, and the established social order.
A characteristic of photography is its ability to communicate precisely detailed information, and Althouse's earlier works are rich with extremely fine detail. However, in his latest series he chooses to obscure and withhold that information through the covering of subject matter with cloth or paper. Detail is concealed further by employing exaggerated photographic grain whose texture is reminiscent of his earlier works done in sand. Secrecy is heightened in his imagery by integrating Braille phrases into his compositions, adding a profound and mysterious quality to his work.
Privately expressing his concern for humankind and our historic inability to recognize the early signs which prohibit us from diagnosing societal problems before they reach the extreme and epidemic, Althouse is not without hope. Under a shrouded medieval helmet he inscribes in Braille the Latin words, "occurrent nubes", translated as, "clouds (heaven) will intervene." If it may be said that contemporary Western art is a reflection of our society, then it could also be said that the artwork of Stephen Althouse is a metaphoric mirror of prophecy in the context of the recent terrorist attack upon our nation. In his large-scale photograph, Shrouded Swords, dating to 1999, he encrypts a Braille phrase in the center of his piece, "veniente occurrite morbo" meaning, "meet the coming of the disease."

4/1/07 Library Media Connection
This series on habitats conveys its information in clear, simple text. A Word Hunt section begins each book, sharing photographs of new words such as coral polyps and lichens. These words then appear in bold-face type somewhere in the book. At the end of each book, a Your New Words section defines them. This reiteration reinforces the key words that are important to describing and understanding about life in each of the different habitats. The photographs with captions are by far the highlight sharing up-close views of the three habitats. A two page Day in the Life section covers the lives of a rattlesnake, a snow leopard, and an eel in the books reviewed. While not comprehensive, the books touch on the basics, gearing it toward a very young audience. Glossary. Index. Recommended. [Editor's Note: Other habitats covered in the series are the rain
forest, swamp, and savanna.]

Craig Johansen requested the commission write a letter voicing opposition to HB49 which has been introduced by Rep. Kay McIff. He believes the bill will pit shareholders against the water companies and that water will be taken out of the service area. Water is the key to the Emery County economy and any loss of water would be an economic disaster. Johansen said the water task force told McIff this was poor water law and they voted not to support the bill as did the Farm Bureau.
Commissioner James Nelson will draft a letter stating Emery County's opposition to the bill.
Ray Petersen the public lands director said he attends the Colorado River Water Users Assn. conference each year and the Wasatch Front, Denver, Phoenix they are using all their water. If bidding wars occur over water, there is no way Emery County could compete with other states. Johansen said at the present time, water can't leave the state.
Danna Gray from the boys scouts eagle scout program asked the commission to waive the museum fee for the annual eagle scout banquet in the February 25 commission meeting. In 2013 there were 11 new eagle scouts and each one put in at least 100 service hours for a total of 1,100 service hours in the county.
Commissioner Ethan Migliori said the scouts do great things for our county and recommended the fee waiver be granted. He wants the scouts to know that Emery County supports the scouting program.
Chris Wood from the Division of Wildlife Resources presented the Payment in Lieu of Taxes money to the county for division owned land in the county. They have land at Desert Lake, Huntington game pond and in the San Rafael. The check was for $2,651.31. Wood said the division is involved in a number of projects in Emery County each year. They have habitat projects each year to improve the feeding grounds for elk and deer. They are also working on walk-in fishing access for anglers.
Calvin Black from the DWR said last year they released 3,500 fingerling tiger muskies at Joe's Valley and this year hopefully they will get a 1,000 more. The DWR is also working on getting approval for an extension of the boat ramp at Joe's Valley.
An adult quagga mussel has been found at Lake Powell and the DWR will be actively involved in fighting these mussels in the local waters. They are contacting the legislature for help with funding for mussel invasion prevention.
The DWR may start restocking Huntington Creek in the fall depending on the seasonal monsoonal rains.
Gerry Stotler asked the commission for a donation to the volunteer center. The center helps with the Foster Grandparent program and matches volunteers to projects needing help in the county. They helped with the Angel Tree program in the county and helped 28 angels. They also help with the relay for life. The volunteer group meets the second Monday of each month at 9 a.m. at the Main Street Grill in Castle Dale. Plans are underway for a Christmas tree festival in December with all funds raised going to local organizations.
The commission approved a $250 donation for the volunteer center and a $250 donation for the rodeo club requested by Nathan Urie, rodeo club member. The rodeo club has 30 team members and they are getting ready for their rodeo in Castle Dale on April 12.
The commission approved the landfill annual solid waste report for 2013. The landfill had no violations for the year and Commissioner Nelson complimented the top knotch employees at the land fill that know what they are doing.
The commission approved an MOU with the seven county area named the Eastern Utah Economic Development Coalition. The seven counties are working as a team to improve economic development in all the counties. They meet monthly and Commissioner Jeff Horrocks will keep the commission informed on their progress.
Commissioner Migliori reported the Historical Preservation commission is working on installing life size silhouettes depicting Spanish Trail users. They will be placed along the Spanish Trail. The silhouettes will help keep people interested in the history of our area.
The At your leisure program was at Joe's Valley to feature ice climbing. A later show will talk about bouldering in the area.
Rocky Mountain Power last week held a meeting to discuss the transmission lines and routes. It's been a 15 year process and it's unreal the rules and regulations they must follow to install new transmission lines. There will be a public comment meeting on March 18 from 4-7 p.m. at the Fairgrounds in Price.
Tim Smith from the State Parks talked to the commissioners about the privatization of state owned golf courses which could involve Green River. Commissioner Migliori said it was more expensive to do it that way and people have been very proactive in working to make Utah's state parks better.
Commissioner Migliori has been involved in tablet training at the libraries and will continue to make that training available in all the towns.
Commissioner Nelson said there are several bills they are watching at the legislature including the water change applications, grazing and timber bill, planning and zoning. The Salt Lake climbers club is seeking funds to do a study of the bouldering in Emery County.
Commissioner Horrocks said they continue to meet on the debris basin in Huntington Canyon. They are preparing an MOU.
Commissioner Nelson, Ray Petersen and Randy Johnson will be going to Washington DC to continue to work on the public lands bill and will ask for assistance for the debris basin.
The county is preparing for a surplus property sale in the spring at the road department. James Nielsen from the weed and mosquito department received an award for his work on noxious weeds.
The road department is beginning to put mag chloride on the dirt roads. Work has resumed on the debris basin after being shut down for winter. The water is approximately 80 percent of average.
Under the consent agenda: out of state travel was approved for Capt. Kyle Ekker and Capt. Jeff Thomas to attend a public agency training council seminar.
A business license was approved for Whitney Marie Photography and Sjogren Auto. The appointment of Scott Labrum to the Recreation District board to represent Castle Dale City was ratified.
Coby Hunt was approved for a 3 percent wage increase due to his successful completion of his orientation period.
Volunteers for the museums were approved: Sheila Sebring, Barbara Lemon, Lisa Jewkes, Beth Black, Barbara Petersen, Diane Lansford, Randy Jensen, Nancy Espanet, Jan Petersen and Mary Kava.

The ON Cloudracer is a road racing and uptempo running shoe designed for a neutral foot motion.
Step into the ON Cloudracer for a fast and surprisingly cushioned ride. Rubber pods on the outsole work to absorb shock, creating a firm yet protective platform. The breathable upper is light and flexible, with a race-ready fit. A springy midsole and flexible forefoot make this shoe great for racing and tempo runs.
Model Number: 000007.4306
Weight: 8.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (24mm), Forefoot (18mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: I've been through numerous pairs of Cloudracers, and I couldn't be happier. The shoe is not quite as light as some other brands of racers, but I use it mostly as a medium-to-long distance trainer. It has a nice snug feel, but gives me more room in the toe box than traditional racers. I've used this shoe for my last two marathons, and it has felt great both times. The clouds have held up well & I managed to get 455 miles out of my most recent pair. I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone.
From: Jason, Newburgh, IN, USA. January 13th 2015
Comments: I am in love with these shoes. Very well constructed, feels extremely light and at the same time provides great protection. I am a 6' 210lb guy and haven't had any issue while running on this shoes. I have used them in 5k and 10k races having excellent results. Definitively a shoe you must have in your running gadget arsenal.
From: Luis, Toa Alta, Puerto Rico. May 9th 2014
Comments: Im a huge fan of these shoes. Its fast, lightweight, durable, comfortable with my Sofsole fit insole. Coming from Nike shoes I'm a size 12 and the size 12 On fits me perfect. My only gripe is the mesh part on the forefoot was so thin after only a few hundred miles it started to shoe holes... I hope to be back in these shoes only if this issue has been addressed.
From: Ian, San Diego, CA. 3/11/14
Comments: KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii -- Belgium's Frederik Van Lierde won the Ironman World Championship. In muggy, but calm conditions, the 34-year-old Van Lierde finished the 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike ride through lava fields and marathon run in 8 hours, 12 minutes, 29 seconds to become the second Belgian winner. It was the eighth-fastest time in the 35-year history of the event. These were the ON Cloudracer shoes worn in that race.
From: demetri, Alpine.NJ.USA. 2/26/14
Comments: I have found the Cloudracers to be an excellent shoe. Last year, I ran in the Asics Gel-Neo33 as my long distance shoe. (I run in vibrams for distances less than 8 miles.) While the Gel- Neo's were good, I was never in love with the shoe. After my last marathon, I switched to the Cloudracers to give them a try. I immediately loved them. I had run in Newton's last year as well. However, as others have mentioned, I found them to be too unstable. I never felt that way with the Cloudracers. I have been looking at other brands for a marathon distance shoe, but I don't believe anyone else has come up with the magic combination of cushion and minimalism that these shoes provide. As to the heat of the shoe, I have switched to an ultra thin/lightweight sock, and they have been nothing but comfortable.
From: James, Miami, FL, USA
Comments: Cushioned responsiveness. Once thought to be mutually exclusive; now inexorably linked in On's Cloudracer. Not sure what magic they've used to pull it off, but somehow it works; at least for me. I've hesitated writing this review for some time. Never one to identify any one shoe as perfect, my review is largely motivated by the fact that I've come back to this pair time and time again for their unique feel. I find the outersole to be quite unique and lives up to the claim of a soft, smooth landing (claiming to be the first to address horizontal impact/shearing) whilst providing for a relatively firm and stable push-off (something I think the Newton line of shoes fails miserably at). At no time have I ever been able to drive hard into a turn/corner without the forefoot of a Newton shoe feeling increasingly unstable. In this regard, I think the On outsole tech (extending the entire width of the shoe) picks up where Newton left off. I tend to stay clear of running shoes that don't have full ground contact at mid-stance as these shoes inhibit a good midfoot landing IMO (some of my favs are the New Balance 1400, 1600, K-Swiss K-Ruuz, etc.). Oddly enough, however, the Cloudracer feels quite natural in this regard. Again, not sure how they managed it but they did (especially considering the significant amount of midsole missing between the heel and forefoot areas of the outersole). It feels quite stable, in fact, and I don't find myself searching for a sweet spot with every landing. I really like the feeling of the shoe; not overly soft yet surprisingly responsive. I found the fit a bit long (I sized down 1/2 size) and I believe Running Warehouse recommends doing this for the other models in their line-up. I like the midfoot wrap and I've had no issues with the laces (you get two different colors). While I don't find the forefoot all that wide or anatomical; for me, at least, it's wide enough, plenty of wiggle room. The shoes seem to be wearing quite well, too (I've accrued close to 300 miles in my pair without them appearing to be too worse for wear) The biggest area of concern I have is one of breathability. The upper is quite thin but I don't find the material to be really all that breathable. It's almost plastic. Admittedly, I've run in some of the most humid conditions (Tampa, Florida in August for example) but I invariably return with shoes full of sweat and quite heavy. I think On needs to address their material choices and go with something more hydrophobic (like K-Swiss; Ion-Mask, for example). Otherwise, great shoe in my line-up and I'll most likely purchase a second pair soon.
From: Darren, Tampa, FL
Comments: These shoes are very well constructed and shows quality in it's materials. Much better than Newton in that aspect. The feel and ride is comfortable and a bit stiff but responsive. They are ventilated enough for hot days. My only complain is weight; I would've liked to see a lighter shoe. In summary, i believe it's a good lightweight trainer with a comfortable and responsive ride.

Doug and Paris were photographed on their balcony at the Copacabana Palace in pictures that reminded me of Romeo and Juliet–well, minus her cell phone of course!
The couple is celebrating Carnival in Brazil and if you've been paying attention to Twitter at all, you'll see Paris Tweeting non-stop about her trip.
"I Love Brazilians! They love and live life to the fullest! Just like me!! ;)" she said, among other things. It looks like Paris is in her element and judging from the pics she's been posting on her new website, ParisHilton.com, you can color me totally jealous!

Base Currently At 108cms/43" – A Great Leg Up On The Season
WHISTLER, BC, November 14, 2007 – An intense storm system that dropped over 80cms of snow on Whistler Blackcomb earlier this week has prompted mountain managers to open Whistler Mountain almost a week early. Blackcomb Mountain will open as planned on Thursday, November 22.
"We have a great leg up on the season," says Doug MacFarlane, Whistler Blackcomb Mountain Manager. "Natural snowfall and our snowmaking efforts have allowed for the early opening on Whistler Mountain that skiers and riders have been hoping for."
Weather forecasters are predicting that this is only the beginning of a period of snowy, stormy weather for the mountain. Bestskiweather.com is reporting low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska meaning plenty of cold and more snow for Whistler into next week. Whistler Mountain will open on Saturday with access from the Whistler Village and Creekside base areas. The Whistler Village Gondola, Creekside Gondola, the Emerald Express, Franz's Chair and the Big Red Express are all scheduled to open. The resort's fleet of grooming machines will be hard at work this week preparing the slopes for skiers and riders. Guests should be aware that early season conditions will exist on and off-site and caution should be exercised when venturing beyond the ropes. A rail park will be set up in the Emerald Express Habitat Park area. Jumps, more rails and other terrain park features will be added as the snow falls and more terrain is opened. Blackcomb Mountain will open on Thursday November 22. Guest Relations locations at Creekside, Village Gondola and the Blackcomb Daylodge will be open and ready to assist passholders and guests. To keep up to date on snowfall and terrain and lift openings, skiers and riders should check out www.whistlerblackcomb.com.
EDGE Cards are available at early bird pricing until November 19 which allow Canadians and Washington State residents to ski the mountains from $52.99 a day. A ten day EDGE Card is available on-line for $529.89, while the five day EDGE Card is available for $279.99. Single day EDGE Cards are available on-line for $56.99. Perks when purchased by November 19 include: $300 in retail coupons, $100 Ski & Snowboard School Gift Certificate, and a $99 lodging offer. Season-long perks with an EDGE Card include: 10 per cent off retail, 50 per cent off Coca Cola Tube Park tickets, and 25 per cent off tickets at other Intrawest resort locations. Whistler Blackcomb's Book-By offer is available until November 15 offering up to 33 per cent off vacation packages. Information on both can be found at whistlerblackcomb.com Weather and snow information can be found on whistlerblackcomb.com/weather/snowreport and starting opening day, the Snow Report on the website and the Snowphone will be updated five times daily. Reach the Snowphone by calling 604.932.4211 in Whistler, 604.687.7507 in Vancouver or toll-free at 1.800.766.0449. Reporting information such as new snow, mountain temperatures, wind speed and snow conditions; these are the most up to day sources of current conditions on the mountains.
Consistently ranked as North America's top ski and snowboard resort, Whistler Blackcomb continues to raise the level of mountain excitement for its guests. With the landmark Peak to Peak Gondola project underway, the return of the popular Symphony Amphitheatre, and a host of other on-mountain improvements, this winter promises to be one of the most exciting yet. Located a scenic two-hour drive north of Vancouver up the spectacular 'Sea to Sky' Highway, this resort is home to the continent's two greatest vertical-rise ski mountains – Whistler and Blackcomb. With over 17 alpine bowls, four glaciers, 200 trails, 8,171 acres of skiable terrain and a one mile vertical rise, the choices of where and what to ski/ride at Whistler Blackcomb from beginner to advanced terrain are staggering. Joined at the base by a vibrant pedestrian village filled with restaurants, patios, cafes, shops, galleries and spas, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this four season resort is spectacular.

Not Impressed
"Thought after reading the positive ratings that overall the shoe would be a good buy but for the first time I was mislead. I had to return the first pair because I could feel the nail prongs on the bottom of my heel, I quickly regretted replacing them with another pair because the material looked really cheap, not close to being a good quality boot.The first time I wore them I knew then that I'd never wear them again so I'm now giving them to my aunt who by the way loves them. To each his own!"

Small, But Not Insignificant
Thomas Drance
February 21 2012 01:27PM
Alain Vigneault's extreme situational deployment strategies have been a hot topic among hockey stats nerds this season. The topic even went mainstream this weekend when Malhotra's O-zone start rate was mentioned by Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night in Canada during Saturday evening's game.
I'm of the opinion that zone-starts have a major impact on a skaters point production and possession stats. In my view, they also tell us a lot about which skaters a coach thinks are his team's best at either end of the ice. Most people wouldn't dispute any of the above, but David Johnson of hockeyanalysis.com isn't most people.
Read on past the break.
I'm confident that David wouldn't dispute the latter two points in the above sentence: quite clearly zone starts impact possession numbers, and tell you a fair bit about which players a coach trusts in certain situations. What David Johnson is skeptical about, is the impact zone-starts have on point production.
First some background, David Johnson is something of a heretic in the world of hockey analytics. He's one of the few hockey-math folks who believe that players can suppress shooting percentage, or put another way, he's a believer in the impact of shot-quality. In general, I find David's work extremely interesting, and I've found both his site, and him personally to be extremely helpful in the past.
In his post today, titled "Zone Starts: Why we Shouldn't Care" Johnson chose to use Daniel Sedin's zone-start rate and production as a test-case. First, David tallied up the number of points Daniel Sedin has this season coming directly off of "offensive zone-starts" and found that he had 7. Put another way, 11.5% of Daniel Sedin's total points on the season have come on the same shift as an offensive zone draw. Then Johnson used this bit of math to repudiate the idea that zone-starts have a dramatic, inflationary effect on point production:
For the sake of argument, let's say we can directly tie all 7 of [Daniel's] points to being a result of offensive zone face-offs. Also, for the sake of easy math, let's assume his OZone% is 70% (it's actually closer to 80%). So, on 70% OZone starts he scored 7 goals. If we reduce his Ozone% to 50% you'd naturally think you'd lose an equivalent portion of points so he'd end up with 5 points instead of 7. Net result, Daniel Sedin's offensive zone start bias has accounted for just 2 additional points so far this season.
This is convincing math, but it's not necessarily convincing logic.
The major issue here, as I see it, is that David has made the argument that "it doesn't matter much" all the while his math shows that it does in fact matter! Maybe the margins aren't mammoth, but by exploiting the percentages, Alain Vigneault is -according to David's own math - putting "Daniel Sedin on the ice for 3-4 extra goals per season." 3-4 extra goals may seem like a drop in the bucket, but over the course of a full season it's worth more than a point in the standings according to Pythagorean win expectation - and that's only one skater.
Further, David puts some arbitrary qualifications that limit the number of goals he counts (I'd also prefer he count more events than simply goals scored). Others, like Driving Play, have done similar inquiries in the past and have found a significantly larger effect.
Or as Cam Charron put it in the Province this weekend:
It's apparent that Vigneault is exploiting a mathematical edge that other NHL teams don't. He puts his best defensive players in the best place to succeed defensively, and puts his best offensive players in the best place to succeed on offense.
Even if the "mathematical edge" isn't massive (which, is a matter of some dispute), over an 82 game season exploiting even extremely slim margins can have a tangible benefit. Professional sports teams are always looking for that extra 2% for a reason, just ask Tampa Bay's baseball team.
February 21 2012, 01:35PM
"Maybe the margins aren't mammoth, but by exploiting the percentages, Alain Vigneault is -according to David's own math - putting "Daniel Sedin on the ice for 3-4 extra goals per season." 3-4 extra goals may seem like a drop in the bucket, but over the course of a full season it's worth more than a point in the standings according to Pythagorean win expectation - and that's only one skater."
The problem with your logic is if Sedin is not getting those extra zone starts, some one else is and they will benefit. If they benefit to the tune of 1-2 goals the benefit to the team is only ~2 goals. Plus, you can't say "only one skater" because there are 5 skaters on the ice whenever Sedin is on the ice so it is really 5 skaters, and your 5 best skaters.

Skip to comments.Live Thread: 912DC March on Washington (We're Having a Tea Party!)
Posted on 09/12/2009 4:46:48 AM PDT by kristinnEdited on 09/12/2009 4:47:41 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.
Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.
Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
New live feed
AWESOME! You are a dear for posting that pic! Thank you!
Three of the television sets were tuned into the local NBC news affiliate at Gold's Gym this morning. They did a long interview with a man in a Stars & Stripes shirt and a cowboy hat. Volume was muted but was able to read signs over his shoulders about tort reform and other various slams on Obama's health care plan.
There's a report on their site with a place to leave comments here
It looks like these revolutionaries are ready to storm the Bastille!
Thanks. That's good - we'll get good coverage plus he'll be safe. Can't imagine how overwhelmed he must feel. It will keep him encouraged in the midst of all the attacks and threats.
For those wanting to follow from home. Looks like the trolls(media matters) are at this site trying to downplay the crowds. It could use some 'FReeping!
Link Here:
Go Get em'
We, THE PEOPLE, are coming!
Wow, thanks for the traffic cam. It's a hugh crowd. LOL. Nearly brings tears to my eyes to see all those patriots!
Bulls & Bears is ticking me off. This is not what I'm tuning into see. They should be giving full coverage to the events in D.C. FNC is clueless.
We need to send these pics to CNN AND MSNBC. Stupid asses. Anyone posting of facebook and twitter. I dont do either.
I agree. Also, the expense they are incurring - it should be a tax write off! They are doing what the elected officials refuse to do while getting paid to do it!
The MSNBC anchor babe is incredulous . . her voice was rising when she said: "There have to be 100,000 people there".
Now they're discussing whether these 100,000 people are "freaks and nutballs".
I agree - the new ROE are a complete mistake and downright criminal! Thanks for spotlighting what should be plastered on every media outlet.
August was the deadliest month for our troops. So sad. Pray for our military.
oh, cool.........thanks for the link.
Imagine how small the crowd would be if all the people who scrambled and sacrificed to be there found reasons they could not attend.
This crowd is already much larger than seen in Tehran during their protests yet the media managed to overcome the Mullahs oppression to free speech and cover it. Now, not so much. Telling.
I think the correct term is "mobsters". Funny how they look like everyday Americans, isn't it?
Kitchen, Thank you X 3, I can stream from where I am. I have some conservatives around at a sportingn event that want to keep tabs.
One of my favorite signs so far says, "You Can't Strengthen the Weak by Weakening the Strong" or words to that effect.
That's unfair to Freepers who have lost jobs and to those who are truly struggling.
Anyone know why the US flag in the pic at post 259 appears to be at half mast?
Is it because our Resident-In-Chief is Half Ast?
Wow! So many people there I wasn't even sure if it was a real photo. Stay safe everyone and take a punch for freedom (if you have to) ;)
why do you watch that MSLSD stuff? It will rot your brain!? :-)
9-11, I suppose.
Flag is at half-mast for Teddy the murderer.
Crowd now in view at 3rd and Constitution. 14th and E st. crowd still the same size! March moving at a quick clip. I would guess that indicates a large mass of bodies moving down that avenue!
We're losing them on the traffic cameras as they approach the capitol — anyone have a link to a camera that will keep up with the march past 7th street?
More are on the way MSNBC.....WE SURROUND YOU!
Reports that the buses and metro are still packed!!
I heard CNN will be covering it but I will be watching Beck at noon. WHOOHOO! Fox did show some of the signs in the background on Bulls and Bears.
Some music to watch by:
That is absolutely a MASSIVE crowd!!
[The MSNBC anchor babe is incredulous . . her voice was rising when she said: There have to be 100,000 people there.
Now theyre discussing whether these 100,000 people are freaks and nutballs. ]
They are so out of touch!
The day of the Jackson Michigan Tea Party I had $11 in my pocket. 10 of that went in my gas tank to go to the rally and the other dollar went into the kitty for the Tea Party express.
is it on C-span? can I watch it on the web? I don't have cable!
The rudeness of it took me aback also, DJ MacWoW. I am only working part-time and having to live with my daughter who's in the Navy. Totally uncalled for post by NautiNurse on such a great day for all conservatives, IMO.
Just got a call from my husband. He's in a cab on his way there from the airport and being dropped off at 12th and Constitution, ready to join the crowd!
Chants of "You Lie!"
Still in the 30 days for Ted Kennedy.
Not everyone can do that when pay is late or the check bounces.
It see the crowd all the way down at the 3rd st. cam. I'm in tears! CNN just showed aerial photo - all the way to the whitehouse.
Bigger than anybody dreamed!! Completely unbelievable. This has to be approaching a million.
Pray for the March
