The Emery County Public Lands Council heard updates on the public land use bill and the drought conditions at the July meeting. Ed Geary, chairman conducted the meeting.
A field trip was planned with the forest service to visit the burn area one year after the Seeley fire. It is set for Aug. 6.
Commissioner Ethan Migliori spent two days in Washington DC. He reported on his trip. "We visited with all of our Washington representatives except Rep. Matheson. We visited at both senator's offices. Rep. Bishop is very easy to work with and very cordial. We visited with the other congressmen and they are very supportive and urged us to keep in touch. Rep. Chaffetz expressed he is happy to push through our bill, if the multi-county approach becomes problematic. It was a good trip. We plan on going back in September or October. We will do what we need to do to keep your hard work going."
Council member Sherrel Ward wondered if there is a date for the bill to be introduced. Commissioner Migliori said tentative dates are set for this fall. Right now the county will just wait and see as the other counties involved go through their public processes.
Commissioner Migliori said there was much praise back in Washington for Emery County taking the lead on public lands legislation.
It was mentioned now that Washington County has their land use bill in place that those lands are off the table for any further designations and it is hoped that will be the case when the Emery County land use bill is passed.
Council member Jon Gilbert said he recently received email correspondence that said SUWA guarantees their Red Rock wilderness area will be passed.
Commissioner Migliori said that subject wasn't brought up on their Washington trip.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said the Sierra Club in a meeting in Moab recently guaranteed the Greater Canyonlands monument as well. But he believes these statements by the Sierra Club and SUWA are just rhetoric at the current time.
Commissioner Horrocks said there is no support for America's Red Rock Wilderness Act this side of the Mississippi River. "Frequent visits to Washington are necessary to lay the foundation for our bill. There are other counties and groups that just send letters to Washington and there is no response."
Chris Wood is the regional supervisor for the Division of Wildlife Resources. He recently replaced Bill Bates who has taken a position in the Salt Lake Office as the wildlife chief.
Wood said, "I've been in the area for seven-eight years as the habitat manager. I've worked with other agencies to improve habitat. We've formed some great partnerships with agencies and the sportsmen. I'm still learning the fisheries and wildlife side. We recently released kokanee salmon in Electric Lake. The next RAC meeting will be in Green River on July 31 at the John Wesley Powell Museum at 6:30 p.m. They will discuss cougar, fur bearers and mountain goat. The DWR has a meet the bat night scheduled for Aug. 2. Meet at 6:30 p.m. at Crescent Junction. A new officer James Thomas will be here on Aug. 17 to replace Ben. We've been conducting the cutthroat spawn at Duck Fork. On July 11, any leftover tags from the draw can be purchased over the counter and online. The mountain goats will be gathered from areas with high populations and transported to the LaSals."
There will be between 150-200 goats transplanted. They won't be available to hunt for several years while the population establishes itself in the new area.
Darren Olsen from the US Forest Service said work continues in Huntington canyon. The burned areas have been spread with a wood mulch material and they will be done by the end of next week with that. The workers have operated from three staging areas. Culvert replacement and debris basin settling ponds are being worked on and work will continue throughout the summer. It is hoped a lot of work can be done before the monsoon season when it's feared more debris will flow from the burn area. Grazing has begun on the forest and the livestock and sheep are in their allotments.
Some timbering will be done at Lake, Willow and other areas. Ward wondered if there is any market for burned trees, but no one could give him an answer.
Olsen said wood for the mulching project came locally, some from Fish Lake and some wood was transported in from Colorado. The mulching took place on the steep slopes. Aspen are growing again in the burn area and some are two feet tall. It's a worry that flooding will still occur when the rains come.
Three lightning caused fires have started three trees on fire this week, one near Emery, one near Meetinghouse and one on the ridge between Meetinghouse and Deer Creek. The forest service has responded swiftly to these fires and they are currently extinguished. The sheriff's office encourages everyone to report any fires and lightning strikes immediately so they can be squelched early.
Ward reported a new fence will be installed in Gentry. The trustees from the sheriff's office have been helping with taking out the old fence.
BYU is doing a study on livestock grazing and they have fenced off test plots.
Ward said, "We are in a severe drought. In the year to date report since October the Red Pine-Huntington Canyon-Mammoth is 68 percent of average. The basinwide total is 77 percent of average. The reservoirs are still doing pretty well, Cleveland is at 82 percent. We are drawing from Miller's Flat first and it's at 54 percent. Huntington North is at 71 percent. We are trying to keep the water level there as high as possible for as long as we can for recreational purposes. Joe's Valley is at 61 percent. Most farmers will get a first and second crop, but probably not a third. Millsite is at 83 percent which has surprised most people."
Mistie Christiansen said they haven't released any water from Julius or Spinners and they will probably save Julius again for culinary water for Emery.
Ward said the irrigators can probably survive this second year of drought, but a third year in a row would be devastating for both the farmers and for culinary water users as well.
The catastrophic fire committee will meet on July 17 at the court house. Gov. Gary Herbert wants a plan submitted from each region by Aug. 1. This committee is evaluating fire potential in all parts of the state. The report will identify at-risk areas and why it's important.
There are some places where fire could be useful and others where fire would be catastrophic. Emery County's mapping will go beyond county borders and include watersheds for Emery County in surrounding counties.
John Anderson, audience member, recognized the 19 firefighters who lost their lives in the Arizona fire and appreciates their efforts and sends his condolences to the families involved.

|DeXus 6.0: Discourses and Practices That Matter
An International Summer School on Discourse, Practice and Social Justice
Dates: 19 - 24 August 2013
Location: Centre for Discourses in Transition (C-DiT)
Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark
Invited Guests:
Rodney Jones, City University of Hong Kong
Sarah Pink, RMIT University, Australia/Loughborough University, UK
William Housley, Cardiff University, Wales
Local Tutors:
Paul McIlvenny, Aalborg University
Pirkko Raudaskoski, Aalborg University
Website: http://dexus.cdit.aau.dk
The thematics of this summer school is prompted by the recent emergence on the global stage of a set of interlocking global crises - including climate, energy, food, water, finance - which demands a renewed interdisciplinary effort to understand how to mediate the future, the past and the present in ways that attend to equity, justice and rights. The aim is to bring together people investigating and promoting social change and transformation with an explicit focus on the role of discourse and practice in shaping and prefiguring a just future. Discourse is understood as encompassing an interdisciplinary perspective on text, talk, genre, narrative, archive, document, image and rhetoric in all their modal, social and cultural forms, not only in terms of representation but more importantly in relation to action and practice. Practice, practices, practical reasoning and practical action are increasingly key elements of many recent approaches to discourse (e.g. microethnography, mediated discourse analysis and nexus analysis), but a dialogue between these approaches and the variants of practice theory that are being used in sophisticated ways in fields such as transition studies, anthropology, visual studies, etc. is urgently needed and holds much potential.
With the strong interdisciplinary focus of this summer school, we will be working with the following clusters:
Practice/Practical Reasoning/Practical Action
Transition/Intervention/Critique/Social Justice
Our summer school will interest students and scholars who work in the diverse fields of discourse studies, communication studies, practice studies, development studies, globalisation studies, media studies, political science, sociology, history, anthropology, transition studies, social movement studies, transition studies, communication activism, participatory communication, critical journalism studies, action research, and human-centred communication and informatics.
The deadline for registration is 1 May 2013. The participation fee payment deadline is 1 June 2013.

identify safe and unsafe structures. A city's building inspection staff
may become overloaded and need more help. This process is known as ATC20, or Post Earthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings.
Who Should Attend
- Architects, professional engineers, building inspectors or skilled
construction industry personnel with at least 5 years of verifiable
general building design, construction, or inspection experience that
are willing to volunteer as building inspectors after a disaster.

|In response to Re: Flexible vs. rigid copper tubing
Sorry, meant to say soft copper versus rigid.
I guess my basic question is 'can i use soft copper for riser supply runs where flexing is desired?'
Thanks again, Matt
: : I need to run some plumbing in the floor, cutting through several joists. I don't want to notch out and lay in rigid pipe, nor do I want to sweat several 12" sections together with all those unions.
: : I was thinking I would use flex tubing. I would need it to handle 3/4" supply lines (both H and C) as well as a 1/2" run for the reciriculating line.
: : Anyone have an opinion? Ever had to do something similar?
: : Thanks, Matt
: What are you talking about here, plastic water line like Pex or CPVC or soft copper?

'Occupy McMansions,' Proclaim Sell-Out College Kids
Though the great American dream of McMansion ownership is gone forever, the scaled-down American dream of McMansion renter-ship is still within reach. In California, for example, "thousands" of sell-out college kids are occupying McMansions to cut down their housing costs and study in hot tubs.
The New York Times reports that, for some college students, renting out a McMansion with yr frens is much cheaper and more convenient than living in a dorm. At the University of California, Merced, for example, many students can't even find on-campus housing because their school is new and hasn't built enough dorms to house them all. And even if they do get a dorm room, they have to pay almost twice as much as they would renting a McMansion. So the smart ones cluster together (solidarity) and head for the subdivisions, plunking down $250 or $350 per person to rent out one of the many foreclosed-upon castles and enjoy Jacuzzis, chandeliers, and other luxuries. "I mean, I have it all!" says Merced senior Patricia Dugan—who's majoring in marketing, a practical field.
Living la vida McCasa comes with some risks. Chandeliers can collapse, especially after too much swinging from them. Walk-in closets provide fertile ground for spiders and ghouls. Sleeping in a "princely boudoir with a whirlpool tub worthy of Caesars Palace and a huge walk-in closet" can lead to douchebaggery and regrettable sexual encounters. Pool games played in pool rooms on too many cheap American swill-beers can result in fistfights. Landlords skip town, and banks come calling. Criminals are drawn to McNeighborhoods in search of copper wiring and things to steal from you. You have to hire a gardener.
And neighbors—like the guy who "bitterly" told the Times that the youthful McMansion inhabitants in his neighborhood are "the luckiest students I've ever come across"—harbor their bitterness. But such cranky voices should be dismissed, for renting McMansions in groups is probably the only way these college kids will ever be able to enjoy such luxuries on their own, as independent adults, before graduating into the jobless economy and moving back home to Mom and Dad's McMansion. Enjoy your carpets and relax thyselves in those Jacuzzi waters today, easily impressed American youths, for you may not get to experience such joys tomorrow.

NEW ALBANY – Candidates for mayor, chief of police and alderman met Thursday night to outline their qualifications and hopes for the offices they are pursuing.
The forum at the Cine Theatre was hosted by the Union County Democratic Executive Committee, Union County Federated Women's Executive Committee and the New Albany Municipal Democratic Election Committee.
Event chairman Henry Knox said the forum was organized "to encourage everyone to be part of our participatory government."
Charlie Mitchell, associate dean of the Meek School of Journalism and New Media at the University of Mississippi, moderated the nearly two-hour forum.
"This is how America should work," he said. Of the citizens gathered for the discussion, he added, "They're willing to work together. It's their problems to solve, and they're in the best positions to solve them together."
Among issues that aldermen candidates discussed were infrastructure improvements, communication between city officials and citizens, drainage problems, neighborhood parks, tourism and other economic development.
Chief of Police candidates Mark Golding and Chris Robertson have worked together for years under retiring Chief David Grisham. Each touted his own experience and personality, with little disagreement in views, including support for having armed officers in schools.
"It'll be my job to protect the citizens of New Albany and to treat them fairly and equally," Chris Robertson said.
Golding, who is also Union County Medical Examiner, said, "I've been in some of your homes at some of the most difficult times of your lives. I can be compassionate when I need to be; I can be firm when I need to be."
Tim Kent, a two-term incumbent, noted his participation in the PUL Alliance's success in bringing Toyota and supporting industries to Union County and some $11 million in grants that the city has had during his tenure with help from Three Rivers Planning and Development District.
"If you think New Albany's better than it was eight years ago, I'd ask you to vote for me," he said.
Challenger Bill Robertson highlighted business experience from GM executive and financial planner to downtown retailer. He urged that New Albany set its vision higher than its current efforts.
"When I lived in Texas, there was a saying," he said. "'You can't hit the ceiling shooting at the floor.'"

Posted on 12/12/2010 8:55:26 PM PST by FromLori
White House adviser and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once told President Richard Nixon, "And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern, according to newly-released tapes from the Nixon library.
The shocking statement from Kissinger, a Jew, was followed up by an agreement from Nixon, who said, "I know. We can't blow up the world because of it."
Kissinger also advised Nixon when he was president during the campaign to free the Jews from the Soviet Union, The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy.
The shocking statements contradict an image among some American Jews that Nixon was a friend of Israel and the Jews.
Nixon also is quoted as saying an anti-Semitic generalization, What it is, is it's the insecurity. Its the latent insecurity. Most Jewish people are insecure. And that's why they have to prove things."
The Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg, a usually constant critic of Israel, responded on his blog, "I suppose he [Nixon] is right, at least on the narrow subject of Henry Kissinger.
The conversations that were recorded on secret tapes followed a March 1973 meeting between Nixon and Kissinger with former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, who pleaded with the United States to help open the barred gates for millions of oppressed Soviet Jews, denied religious freedom, wanting to flee the Communist regime. Eventually, the freedom for Soviet Jews campaign broke the ban in later administrations and allowed massive immigration of Jews to Israel as well as to the United States.
Nixons disgust with minorities was not restricted to Jews. He labeled Irishmen as drinkers and Italians as wonderful people but who don't have their heads screwed on tight.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
Yesterday's discussion was rather comprehensive. I suggest readers who want to see what this is about do a search for "NIXON" and go to that one.
Now, what ethnicity were the Mullis family? (That, BTW, is the M in Nixon's middle name).
Once you figure that out get back here and tell me what the SMALLEST ethnicity in Europe is.
Maybe I am missing something here, but what Kissinger said was correct. How is the Soviet Union's gassing Jews an American problem? It sounds like a Jewish problem to me. The only obligation the United States government has is to its own citizens. Since when did the United States government become responsible for the Jews throughout the world? The United States might choose to intervene, but it is not obligated to do so.
My father in law, who is Jewish, was a staunch Republican until Nixon was elected and then abandoned the GOP due to Nixon.
Nixon was a huge supporter of Israel. Multiple people told him to not go overboard in his support of Israel during the six day war (I always get the two wars confused - I think it was the six day.)
Nixon made sure Israel received all the supplies they need sending air cargo (weapons) round the clock. Golda Meir and others said Nixon helped save Israel.
"How is the Soviet Unions gassing Jews an American problem? It sounds like a Jewish problem to me."
Was Hitler's gassing of Jews an American problem?
Suppose Nazi Germany had never crossed over their borders and only gassed Jews within Germany?
That would not have been an American problem?
Pretty funny coming from him.
Kissinger's statements remind me of Soros. I also don't trust Kissinger because he wants a New World Order.
Kissinger: Obama primed to create 'New World Order'
It was the Yom Kippur war (1973). Nixon stripped weapons and ammo stocks from National Guard and Reserve units sent them to Isreal at the most critical time. Israel was running out of ammo and weapons just as they were stemming the tide of the Syrian and Egyptian advances. I remember seeing convoys of tnaks and mobile 155mm howitzers going down highway 101 to Vandenberg AFB where they were being flown to Isreal and driven off of transports and straight to battle.
Nixon saved Isreal, no doubt about it.
There's another side to the Nixon airlift. Israel was preparing to go nuclear after it's initial setbacks and the airlift was the only way to prevent nuclear war. Nixon didn't 'save' Israel.
"Thus started the subtle, opaque use of the Israeli bomb to ensure that the United States kept its pledge to maintain Israel's conventional weapons edge over its foes.65 There is significant anecdotal evidence that Henry Kissinger told President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, that the reason for the U.S. airlift was that the Israelis were close to going nuclear.66 "
These fools will never understand.
Sounds like an out of context comment, the point of which was we can't go to nuclear war over the Soviet Union mistreating its own citizens. Nixon WAS a great friend of Israel taht is undenable. He put our troops in Europe on nuclear alert to deter the Soviets from coming to Egypt's aid against Israel.
Interesting stuff from your link:
"Israel is a nation with a state religion, but its top leaders are not religious Jews. The intricacies of Jewish religious politics and rabbinical law do affect their politics and decision processes. In Jewish law, there are two types of war, one obligatory and mandatory (milkhemet mitzvah) and the one authorized but optional (milkhemet reshut).140 The labeling of Prime Minister Begin's Peace for Galilee operation as a milchemet brera (war of choice) was one of the factors causing it to lose support.141 Interpretation of Jewish law concerning nuclear weapons does not permit their use for mutual assured destruction. However, it does allow possession and threatening their use, even if actual use is not justifiable under the law. Interpretations of the law allow tactical use on the battlefield, but only after warning the enemy and attempting to make peace. How much these intricacies affect Israeli nuclear strategy decisions is unknown.142
The secret nature of the Israeli nuclear program has hidden the increasing problems of the aging Dimona reactor and adverse worker health effects. Information is only now public as former workers sue the government. This issue is now linked to continued tritium production for the boosted anti-tank and anti-missile nuclear warheads that Israeli continues to need. Israel is attempting to obtain a new, more efficient, tritium production technology developed in India.143"
So, any of the bombs that India tested in 1998 that had something to do with Israel?
What is the answer to your quiz? If I may ask.
One of the genealogical sources that I saw had an association of the surnames Mullis and Milhous in 1331. So it's not exactly a spur of the moment change...
This was a dispassionate discussion of the realities of world political considerations. There are limits on what the US can do. We must focus our energy on the possible, not the impossible.
About the racist language. "If you have lusted after a woman in your heart you've committed adultery with her." If you've ever had a negative thought about someone because of their race you've committed racism. All people are murders, thieves, and racist because of their evil thoughts. That's what Jesus came to save us from.
Leaders are human. Get over it.
. ..and the Leftist stance all around, when it comes to 'public' policy.
BTW...anyone know if Obama is being recorded for history as he speaks in the Oval Office? Was Jimmy Carter recorded? Kennedy and Johnson?
Remember reading - a long time ago - about when practice began and ended; but now wondering...(what I knew 'then' - but have now forgotten/lol.)
Nope. The article seems to suggest that Israel wants to obtain Tritium extraction tech from India, and not the other way around.
India developed a highly efficient process for the process of extraction of tritium from Heavy Water (deuterium), sometime in the late 80s. Tritium is used in the production of boosted fission weapons. Which is what the article says they want to produce for anti tank and other purposes.
self-hating jew?
no wonder kissinger supports hussein's stupid START treaty.
Paki media at that time claimed that three of the low-yield devices which were tested were of Israeli origin given that they had more pressing requirements and said that the whole thing was a Jewish-Hindu project. I clearly remember hearing reports on that-not many sources on line.
Nixon's support for Israel in October 1973 actually dangerously denuded U.S. defenses in one important area: our stockpile of air-to-air missiles, located at Warner Robins AFB, was stripped of almost all AIM-7 and AIM-9 missiles. As a then-second lieutenant, I saw unmarked El Al airlines 747 cargo aircraft come in and take them all. If we had had to suddenly go to war in Europe, we would have had only the air-to-air missiles in forward locations in Germany, which surely would not have been enough...
If Nixon ran for any office today, given his support for expanding the role and powers of the federal government... I have no doubt he would run as a democrat.
Remember, he won in a time when Republicans were a fraction of their current strength.
Basque dwarves?
Nixon has "several" such very teeny tiny minorities among his forebears ~ probably including NORWEGIAN Dwarves. Frankly, the Basques are just too numerous for them to get in on any of this "smallest minority" stuff.
Give me a break. They were all Roosevelt people in those days.
This sounds like one of those "program seminar people" arguments ~ the old "I was a Republican until so and so won".
No, that's not how it works. NO SANE PERSON would give up being a Republican just so he could vote for a Democrat.
Besides, Nixon wasn't known as "the great anti-semite", he was known as "the great anti-communist", and until quite recently, historically speaking, being a commie wasn't all that big a problem with many Jewish people, so if they wanted to be soft on communism and hate Nixon because he wasn't, that is more a Jewish problem than a Nixon problem (taking that Kissinger thing and flipping it to Helen Gahagan Douglas).
Next time you're at the Nixon Library stop by that little exhibit where there's this Democrat campaign flyer prepared by Douglas forces that accuses Nixon of voting against NATIONAL DEFENSE.
That, right there, is when Nixon picked up one of Douglas' earlier opponents claims that she was "pink right down to her panties".
It worked. He got 59% of the vote.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
The tapes having been public for many years now, my reaction is as it always is, how stupid was Nixon. Tapes, well OK, I have a bad memory and they'd be handy writing memoirs, but he knew there was a fireplace in the White House, why did they survive.
I think Kissinger was just screwing around with Nixon here. Seeing who could be more outrageous. Maybe both were drinking.... Nixon was at the end of his presidency. No matter....One way or another the Nixon crew came through for Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur war
"It was the Yom Kippur war (1973). Nixon stripped weapons and ammo stocks from National Guard and Reserve units sent them to Isreal at the most critical time. Israel was running out of ammo and weapons just as they were stemming the tide of the Syrian and Egyptian advances. I remember seeing convoys of tnaks and mobile 155mm howitzers going down highway 101 to Vandenberg AFB where they were being flown to Isreal and driven off of transports and straight to battle."
And not only did the weapons come in perfect condition, there were things like notes that said "this plane veers right when XYZ happens" and very specific directions.
Lots of recitiations of Exodus and G-d's promise to Abraham written in magic marker on shells or whatever.
Pictures are in every "junior high" (grade when you are 13) history book.
Israel WILL NEVER FORGET who helped.
I have reached the conclusion that these individuals are about to implement the next stage of the Nazi plan. These individuals have been playing sleight of hand with us for far longer than we know. They are in possession of weapons for which no defense exists. Only G-d can save us now.
Richard Nixon was a good man and a friend to Israel.
Sure he had some flaws... don't we all?
Kissinger always creeped me out, for some reason.

Battery maintenance
With vehicle technology developing at a pace, increasing strain is being placed on the battery just to keep the vehicle operating as it should. As a result, regular Battery Maintenance is more important today than it ever has been before.
Battery technology has developed hugely over the past couple of years and, is continuing to do so. However, the consequence of these developments is that batteries need to be charged and maintained in a very specific way but, not all chargers are suitably adapted to do this.
Traditional battery chargers are generally unsuitable to perform Battery Maintenance as they treat all batteries in the same way and just provide a steady but unregulated current to the battery. This can easily lead to over, or under, charging of the battery and thereby decrease its lifespan.
Conversely, CTEK makes Battery Maintenance a quick, simple and extremely effective process. Its range of smart chargers constantly reads and communicates with the battery, charging only to its direct needs and therefore avoiding any possibility of incorrectly charging the battery and, by ensuring the battery is conditioned as well as charged, extending its life significantly.

Ray Petersen, Emery County public lands director, and chairman of the Historical Preservation Commission informed the commissioners of a grant the historical group has received. "We applied and received this grant for $3,000, and the project we wish to do is to install an informational kiosk at the Swinging Bridge site with information of the history of the bridge. Ten days ago I met with the Bureau of Land Management and we visited the site and they approved the project," said Petersen. The Emery County Commission also approved the project.The Emery County Commissioners approved to accept the list of 258 businesses in the county which fall under new legislation and have fulfilled the application procedure, to exempt them from paying personal property taxes. County assessor Kris Bell explained that this number is by no means the final count of the businesses which qualify.
The legislation is aimed at businesses that have a value of less than $3,500. "The deadline for application on this program is May 22, so I am sure more of those that are eligible will come forward with applications," said Bell.

The cosmetology program at Utah State University Eastern will remain intact.
A proposal to eliminate the program to help the college fund new positions for other popular programs brought spirited discussion across the campus and the community.
It has been a difficult process, but one that USU Eastern Chancellor Joe Peterson said has been necessary in order to position the college for future growth and stability.
"These are always tough decisions when so many lives are impacted," Peterson said. "I have anguished over this. It is why I make every effort to seek input from members of our college and surrounding communities. It has been very helpful and I appreciate the frank discussions it has spawned."
He said that while support to keep the program has been both strong and widespread, it still left the College at the end of the day trying to find a way to expand other high-demand programs such as welding and criminal justice.
While funding for new faculty in criminal justice is not possible this year, the University has stepped up with a commitment to provide additional funding for a new welding position.
"The university understood our dilemma with cosmetology and other high-demand programs," Peterson said. "Logan will provide funding that allows us to keep cosmetology while moving forward with welding." Peterson thanked President Albrecht and members of the Logan administration for understanding the importance of addressing regional workforce demand.
He said these new developments will help to keep USU Eastern on a solid growth track while remaining committed to increasing bachelor degree offerings to provide higher-paying jobs, attract new industry and career opportunities for graduates closer to home.

California Grabs $96.4 Million in First Round of Online Sales Tax Collection
Tiffany Kaiser
February 20, 2013 7:11 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: csmonitor.com)
This amount is strictly for the September-December 2012 quarter
Some U.S. states -- like California -- are starting to see new revenue from
sales tax on internet purchases
from the likes of Amazon.
The California Board of Equalization said it made $96.4 million in sales tax on internet commerce from September-December 2012, which is the first full quarter that the state started collecting. This is good news for the California Department of Finance, which has a forecast budget goal of $107 million in new e-taxes for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2012.
While these numbers look great for the state of California, they're a bit off from the estimates provided by a 2009 University of Tennessee study that said California would make $1.9 billion in 2012 revenue if it collected online sales tax. It also said states would miss out on $11.4 billion in 2012 revenue nationwide if they failed to collect online sales tax.
As of right now, Amazon collects sales tax in nine states (including California) and will collect in seven more over the next year.
Georgia is one the most recent to collect online sales tax. Amazon started collecting sales tax in Texas in July 2012, and California and Pennsylvania in September 2012.
Amazon has been fighting states that force it to collect sales tax for years (except in Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota and Washington). The e-tailer fled many states that attempted to force tax collection on the company, such as
and Illinois. But between states looking for ways to offset large financial deficits and brick-and-mortar stores like Best Buy complaining about Amazon being unfair competition, the issue swelled.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said many times that his company would agree to collect taxes if there were some sort of federal legislation.
But eventually, Amazon finally broke down and started collecting sales tax in certain states, which allowed it to build more distribution centers within those states. For instance, Amazon announced that it would
collect sales tax in New Jersey
last May so that two Amazon distribution centers could be built. This led to faster shipping for customers, such as
Amazon's same-day delivery
program, making it more competitive than ever.
But earlier this month, Amazon and Overstock.com challenged a New York law passed in 2008, which forces companies with affiliates within the state to collect sales tax. However, Amazon said
this law is unconstitutional
because a 1992 Supreme Court decision said retailers that don't have a nexus of operation in a state does not need to collect sales tax. While New York said that websites with purchase buttons for Amazon as well as other national retailers are local solicitors because they receive fees for doing so, Amazon said argued that web referrals are less like solicitors or a local sales force and are more like advertising.
"Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!" -- Homer Simpson

10 Essential Eras of Captain America Comic Books
You might have heard that there's a new Captain America movie coming out on April 4. If Marvel's marketing department has gotten its way, this news may very well be tattooed on the inside of your eyelids in phosphorescent ink. Let's say, however, you've never read any Captain America comics before, but now that he's been legitimized as a multi-million dollar film franchise, you're suddenly very interested in that dude with little wings on his head carrying around one of Uncle Sam's rims.
Since being created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon all the way back in 1941, the hero also known as the Sentinel of Liberty has passed through the hands of some eminently talented writers, artists and editors. Some of these creative teams depicted Cap's adventures for a few months -- some of them for a few years -- before passing the torch to the next creators to keep the flame (or trademark) alive. In comic books, these tenures are called "runs," "series" or "eras," and they're the readers' way of distinguishing one era of a character's saga from the next. Chances are you're not sure where to dive into a a publishing legacy that's spanned more than 70 years, so here is a list, in chronological order, of the Sentinel of Liberty's 10 most interesting and influential comic book runs.

|Posted by e-plumber on December 12, 2003 at 07:32:00:
|In response to Re: burst galvanized steel watermain
: Recently a leak developed in the underground, main water pipe that delivers water into my house. After receiving a written quote by the plumbing company, I okayed it and they started the job. After digging and exposing the pipe, the plumbing company said that the pipe type was galvanized steel. They informed me that the pipe could not be repaired but had to be replaced, and the pipe could not be cut just outside the house and the new pipe simply added to the remaining piece. (the latter is what I originally agreed to). Instead, the new, plastic pipe had to be re-routed into the foundation at the side of the house, into the basement and connected to the main water supply in the basement that way. The re-rerouting was necessary to minimize the work needed to get the pipe into the house. Anyways, the reason I was given for not being able to repair the pipe or simply cutting the galvinzed steel pipe just outside the house and connecting the new pipe to the remaining piece is because there are no fittings for galvinized steel to allow that; in other words, galvanized steel pipes have to be replaced. The original quote for the job was between $800-$1200; after discovering the pipe was galvanized steel and accounting for the extra work to re-route the new pipe, the total cost was $1800. The only types of water delivery pipes I am familiar with are copper and plastic so I don't know if galvanized steel pipes can be repaired or if a new pipe can be added to a section of it. From information gathered from an acquaintence who claims to have repaired the exact same type of pipe with te same problem, I am beginning to think I was deceived by the plumbing company. So my question, although it does come too late this time, is, can galvined steel pipes be repaired? Or if the pipe is cut just before it enters the house, can a new pipe be added to the reamining piece of galvanied steel? Can you add a different type of pipe to a galvanized steel pipe (for example, adding a copper pipe between 2 sections of galvanized steel pipes)?

DETROIT -- An elderly woman found outside her car on Detroit's east side this week after a traffic detour and crash died of heart disease, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office.
Despite the unusual circumstances and questions surrounding her final hours, Lorraine McKaig's death was a result of natural causes, Mary Mazur, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, said Friday.
Mazur noted that circumstances could have exacerbated McKaig's physical condition.
McKaig, 88, was detoured from her daily trip to a Livonia, Mich., restaurant because of an industrial fire Wednesday afternoon and discovered outside her car at Coleman A. Young International Airport more than eight hours later, authorities said. Her car had crashed through a fence and she was found on the ground.
McKaig died later at St. John Hospital and Medical Center.
McKaig's daughter, Sue Modzelewski, 61, of Bloomfield Hills said her mother was making her regular drive to Daly Restaurant in Livonia Wednesday but was unable to complete the trip. Police told the family that McKaig was ticketed for trying to get around a traffic barrier near the scene of the fire.
"She got to the area where the fire was taking place and was diverted by the Livonia police because she was trying to get through the barricade to get to the restaurant and they turned her around in the wrong direction," Modzelewski said.
McKaig was reported missing after she failed to return home by about 4 p.m., prompting family members and friends to begin a search of the area.
About 10 p.m., airport security notified Detroit police that a car had hit a fence near the intersection of Conner and Outer Drive. The car was found but not the driver, and Detroit Police and Michigan State Police, along with a police dog, searched the area until McKaig was found alive a short time later, lying on the ground in front of a fire station, according to Detroit Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Woody.
There was some minor front-end damage to the black Ford Thunderbird, which was locked, with McKaig's purse and keys inside, Modzelewski said, describing her mother as a tiny, fragile woman of 89 pounds.
McKaig could be forgetful and only drove in Livonia — to the restaurant, to her bank and to church, Modzelewski said, noting limitations to her driving abilities.
"It's very disappointing that the police didn't make sure she got home OK," Modzelewski said. "We're just trying to handle things, to figure it all out. We're just upset that she's gone and the manner that she left us."
Kathleen Donovan, a manager who has worked at Daly Restaurant for 38 years, said McKaig ate at the restaurant every day, mostly in the afternoons, sometimes by herself and sometimes with family. She always ordered the same thing — grilled chicken, an order of fries and a small Coke.
She was "very well liked by everybody. She was a nice lady."
"It was a shock to me. I'm still really upset about it," Donovan said of McKaig's untimely death.

"Loved this shoes when I saw them on the shelves & couldn't wait to own them. Hey! However, the design is kinda odd when you have them on, all dressed up. :/ Btw I got this in white & pink strap. Definitely not a good workout shoes.. I don't wear them as often (which was the primary reason why I bought them in the first place). It's should be comfortable if you have very NARROW feet which I don't think many of us do."

The only thing I would say is the tread is of a light depth which may make it prone wear down more quickly. I needed white shoes for a practical exam, and I wanted a shoe that I would enjoy wearing again afterward. I think these would be perfect to wear in Spring and summer with a cute skirt or capris."

"I was looking for a comfy cute shoe to take on vacation... this was perfect. I wore these almost the entire time I was in Hawaii (except on the beach). Perfect for hiking Diamond Head and other site seeing adventures."

Not Aesthetically Pleasing
"There is something about the overall design that makes them look bad. The design is different on either side of the shoe and looks strange when actually worn. The combination of the design and the band made me feel like I was wearing hospital shoes. Wouldn't recommend."
