Did You Know? Countdown to Days of the Dead 2009 (10/28)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore About Mexico's
Days of the Dead
(Los Dias De Los Muertos)
Oct 28 : 04 days till DOD
Did you know that in pre-Hispanic times, the Mexican people were often buried directly underneath their homes, representing Mexican's deep and personal ties with their dead?
This connection is reflected in the Mexican holiday of El Dìa de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, which is an opportunity for Mexicans to remember and pay tribute to their deceased loved ones.
Los Dias de los Muertos (Days of the Dead), is a traditional Mexican holiday honoring the dead. It is celebrated every year at the same time as Halloween and the Christian holy days of All Saints Day and All Souls Day (November 1st and 2nd). Unlike the modern-day interpretation of Halloween, Los Dias de los Muertos is neither morbid nor gloomy but rather a festive remembrance of those who have departed.
Los Dias de los Muertos, which is celebrated between October 31st and November 2nd, can also be referred to as (the singular) El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

After reeling off four straight wins and sharing the region lead with Juan Diego, the Emery Spartan run production fell off last week in two region losses as the Spartans finished the season tied for third in Region 8 with Carbon. Emery started the week with a 3-1 loss to Juan Diego in Salt Lake City on Tuesday and then lost to Delta at home on Thursday 7-0.
Delta and Juan Diego finished region play with identical 8-2 records while Emery and Carbon finished with 6-4 records. Emery had an overall record of 10-9. With a coin flip deciding their fate, Carbon finished third and Emery finished fourth. The Spartans will now travel to Region 10 winner Wasatch for the first round of State playoffs. This will be this Saturday. There will be two games for each team participating.
Against Juan Diego, this low scoring game featured good defense and good pitching. On the mound for Emery was Josh Eden. Eden allowed two hits in the first inning after getting the first two batters out. Eden then got the last batter to fly out to centerfield. Juan Diego had one base runner in the second inning and none in the third.
In the fifth inning, the first two Soaring Eagle batters singled and later scored on a base hit to right field. Emery gave up one more run in the seventh inning.
Emery's offense in this game consisted of six hits including three doubles. Kyler Edgehouse, Landon Thomas and Josh Eden all doubled in the game but only Thomas was able to score. Eden got the RBI with his double, the score coming in the last inning. Eden, Trevor Thompson and Blake Mortensen had the other hits.
Emery had opportunities in the third inning and the fifth inning to put some runs on the board as they had two runners on base but the following hitters were unable to bring them home.
Emery's offensive woes continued against hard-hitting Delta. Emery had five hits in the game, all singles. Kyler Edgehouse, Dave Justice, Kade Jones, Thomas and Eden each had a hit. Emery had two base runners on in the second inning, the fifth inning, the sixth inning and the seventh inning but were unable to score a run.
Delta scored once in the first inning as the lead off batter hit a homerun, twice more in the third inning on two hits, a walk and an Emery error, and four more times in the fifth inning.
Emery will now face Uintah this Tuesday in Castle Dale for a practice game before heading to Heber City for two games on Saturday.

Propellerheads Worldwide Events
Copenhagen Reason workshop
In collaboration with our Scandinavian distributor Luthman, Propellerheads supported the DDJA - Danish DeeJay Awards in Copenhagen April 5-6 2006.
The DDJ ceremony was the highlight of this event. Lots of categories were announced and the proud winners will definitely find their musical careers step up. During this night James Bernard was on stage with his laptop for two gigs. Not the way you are used to see him but the Artist James Bernard. From a reliable source we were told he rocked the place. No talk, just music.
The actual workshop took place the day before, offering Reason users a more intimate hands-on session with James Bernard, now wearing his other hat with Propellerheads. The location was an Internet café and turned out to be great for the event.
Propellerheads was also represented by our newly appointed Director of US Markets - Robert Pointer (standing to the right). Himself a committed DJ but here in business. Apparently he had a memorable night out in Danish manners with the Luthman crew.
The workshop covered the new features that were added to 3.0 for those who did not have it yet and then quickly moved on to more advanced Reason questions and tips. The attendees were very educated on the basics of Reason, with more than half of them already owning version 3.0. James showed them in detail how to create some complex Combinator patches making use of the CV inputs to the 4 rotary knobs. He also covered a lot about using CV to create new and unusual types of sounds and effect processing possibilities. Someone had a question on how to do more with REX files other than loading them into the Dr. Rex. The group was showed how to load one into the NN-XT and change loop type and loop point on each slice, and also a different filter/amp/lfo on each slice.
After the session, there was a room off to the side which had Reason 3.0 loaded into about 5 computers with an M-Audio controller on each. This was really useful since people wanted to try out some of the tricks/tips they just heard and seen and James was right there to answer questions and guide them through it.

Looking forward to wearing them
"I was so excited to get these shoes delivered. Tried them on as soon as they arrived. Thought about sending them back because they were a little long. But with the ankle strap, I decided I could make them work. They seem like they will be comfy. Unfortunately, it is winter in New England. So I need to wait at least 2-3 months until the weather is nice enough to show them off. I just know I'm gonna love them. They are very well made. Great color (kind of rust looking)."

Sergio Rossi Espadrille
"The picture on DSW looks red but the true color for this shoe is a rusty, dark tan. I expected for them to be red but I am happy that I will be able to wear them with more outfits because of the neutral color. The shoes are narrow but comfortable due to the soft leather lining. There is no arch support in these shoes so they are not recommended to be worn for long walks. Great quality of shoe for the DSW price!"

True to size to me
"Read the review about how the shoes are small and saw the only size left is my exact size. With the irresistible price I bought one and hoping they won't kill my feet.They don't, in fact, they're rather confy and much more stylish then the picture. This is a great piece for daily wear, LOVE!"

Great Travel Bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used this bag many times going across the US and I love it. It has enough room to fit what I will need for a few days and then some extra room. The outside pockets are great for those smaller items that you like to keep close at hand so you do not have to go digging through your bag. If you are looking for a medium sized bag for traveling I would for sure give this one a look.
Great bag!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I loved it! It sure was a tight fit at the measuring thing they use at the airport, but it went through and I had no trouble keeping it upright. Not even with few things inside!
Frustrating bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
As the other reviewer mentioned, the bag will fit in the overhead but since there's nothing preventing it from expanding when sitting upright, it looks too big. Often the airlines have asked me to measure it at the gate. That's never a pleasant experience, hoping it'll squish back down into the box. It rolls nice but tips over easily. It can be frustrating to find the right zipper to open it since the expansion zipper is right there. More often I grab the wrong one. Grrrrr. I'd rather have a bag that stays true to the size, has some internal compartments, ...and zippers you can locate easily.
Sweet Bag!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This bag is awesome for checking or carrying on! I've used it for both and you can fit it in most overheads if you don't use the expansion zipper. It has awesome mesh closing divider walls for each side to keep your stuff in place. I'm a fan!
DAKINE Over Under Rolling Gear Bag
Kickass & Bombproof
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased the Dakine Over Under Rolling Gear Bag (in Nebula colorway-so sick!) for my birthday about a month ago (unfortunately after traveling across the country). Since then, it's come on every trip with me: tossed in the hatch of the Subaru full of snowboarding gear as we trekked through winter storm Pax to ride, packed with nice clothes staying at the girlfriend's parents house.
It makes traveling and packing an utter breeze & makes me look like I'm flying in total style.
Things I love:
- Thick wheels (not just rollerblade wheels, these things are buttery smooth and can take some rough travel)
- Lifetime Warranty (I never expect to have an issue with this bag, but know Dakine will take care of it)
- The BADASS colorway (Nebula pattern), it's flashy enough to show some style but still makes enough of a professional impact when I travel on business
- The expandable compartment (Haven't had to fully use it yet, but love it)
- Thick, beefy construction and stitching. Nothing feels like it will come off... EVER
None as I can see.
People are complaining about "being forced to gate check" this bag...
That's ridiculous, some small regional jets I've had to check a backpack. Don't use that as a reason to not buy this bag.
Good bag but big for a carry on
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a great bag however it must be gate checked on smaller aircraft. The last time I used this bag, I flew from Denver to Cincinnati on a CRJ-700. There was no way it was fitting in the overhead bin and the bag wasn't expanded. Just something to keep in mind if you do a lot of travelling on regional type jets.
a laptop bag has to be checked on a regional jet, I can't see why anyone would expect this bag to fit...
Over Under
Love it!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I love Dakine products and this one is well built like the others. Rolls easily, large capacity but still fits overhead without a problem. I haven't used the extended portion yet but nice to know I have the option. Great price and looks great. Would be nice to have a few more internal compartments to separate things but it wouldn't stop me from buying it.
Great value for the price
I looked for a while for a carry-on that would be big enough and durable enough for travel a couple of times per month. So far this carry-on has had plenty of space and done the job. I have not yet had issues with it fitting in the overhead.
Quality gear bag
Too big for carry on, and tips over
While the bag looks cool, and handles pretty well, it is too big for carry on. Several times, on different airlines, I have been forced to check the bag at the gate because they say the bag is too big. When stuffed full, even without the expander zipper open, I've had to forcibly shove the bag into the overhead. Also, the bag tips over forwards very, very easily.
Perfect carryon
This bag is the perfect carry-on for airplanes. With this I have been able to bring everything I need for weekend business trip to a weeklong ski trip (When combined with the Hi Roller from Dakine). The Over-Under is the work horse of my luggage doing double and triple duty covering everything from vacations, to work trips to weekends at the in laws.
The expandable feature adds a considerable amount of space and although most airlines wont allow it expanded during the check-in process, it has come in handy many times when moving from resort to resort or weekend car trips. I have flown with this bag over 20 times and NEVER have I had a problem having it allowed as a carry-on when not expanded, even if it is stuffed to the brim.
The wheels are durable and the handle is a comfortable height.
If you are getting one bag for travel to pair with a ski or snowboard bag...this is it.
Great bag! I didn't know what I was missing!
I was driving cross country from South Dakota to California to go take care of my dad, who was in the hospital in Newport Beach. It was a two day drive, and I stayed the layover night in Breckenridge, CO at a buddy's house. I vaguely remembered a store in Breck that carried luggage, and found the store, and this bag! My only regret was I was crunched for time, and didn't buy it off of Backcountry.com!
This bag is great! I WAS using my firefighter turnout bag previously when I went on trips. Boy, I didn't know what I was missing with being organized, and being able to find my things quickly! The compartments in this bag are great. They keep things really organized. I was able to fit a weeks worth of clothes in there, along with my toiletry bag, cell phone charger, reciepts from the trip, etc.
I purchased this in the Phantom colorway, and I love it. I like this bag so much, as soon as I got home, I ordered the matching Groomer bag, and plan on buying the matching board bag and bigger suitcase from backcountry.com when I can! You can't go wrong with Dakine products! Buy this! You won't regret it!
best bag EVER
I am a flight attendant and have been for 35+ years and this is by far the best bag I have ever owned.....it will hold everything....I fly international so I need a lot of clothes and need to have room for treats to bring home, so this is the one......and it is squishy so it fits even when it looks like there is no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amherst Democrat Stanley Rosenberg said Wednesday he has enough support to become the next president of the Massachusetts Senate.
Rosenberg has served in the chamber for more than 21 years and is the current majority leader, the number-two Democratic post under Senate President Therese Murray.
"[A]s of last night, I now have an overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus has pledged support to have me replace the Senate president when [Murray] retires from the post," he told New England Public Radio on Wednesday morning.
Because of an 8-year term limit, Murray must leave the Senate presidency in early 2015. Despite statehouse rumors that Murray's exit may be more imminent, Rosenberg said Murray "indicates she intends to fill-out the full term."
"She is pleased that this was amicably resolved," Rosenberg said. "It was spirited but totally respectful. It did not distract the body from its business, and she's happy that there is a succession plan."
The official leadership vote, Rosenberg said, won't take place until Murray's term ends. But he is not worried his support will fade over those 17 months because he said he has "written confirmation" from his backers. He would not say exactly how many supporters he has or who they are.
If elected Senate president, Rosenberg would be the first Western Massachusetts senator in the post since Maurice Donahue, who held it from 1964 to 1971.
Rosenberg's top competitor in the leadership race was another Western Massachusetts senator, Steven Brewer of Barre, the chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
"I have known Stan Rosenberg for over 35 years," Brewer said in a statement. "I know Stan will do a fine job as Senate President when that time comes. I admire Senate President Murray as a colleague and a friend and look forward to her continued leadership. Our caucus should remain united. The Senate is an institution that is larger than any one person."
Asked what it means for the region to have one of its senators presiding over the Senate, Rosenberg offered a diplomatic reply.
"Our job is to build a statewide agenda and help each member help their districts develop and grow – in terms of the economy, in terms of social progress," he said. "And we do it from the bottom up and much of the work that we do will apply to the whole commonwealth. Other parts of it will be germane to our specific area."
Rosenberg gave even fewer specifics in describing how his leadership of the Senate would differ from Murray's.
"That will be determined over time as I work with the members of the Senate – both on process and agenda," he said.

1. What is USDA Foods further processing?
USDA Foods further processing allows State distributing agencies and school districts to contract with commercial food processors to convert raw and/or bulk USDA foods into a variety of convenient, ready-to-use end products.
USDA began further processing in 1958 to provide ordering options that maximize the use of USDA Foods. Most of the USDA Foods processed through the program go to schools participating in the National School Lunch and other Child Nutrition Programs.
State distributing agencies, districts and food processing companies have learned that working together is mutually beneficial to the food industry and program participants and ensures that processed products complement commercial purchases. The processing of USDA Foods provides industry the opportunity to market its finished products while recipient agencies have the opportunity to receive a wider variety of end products that meet individual district needs and local flavor profiles.
2. Who is eligible to participate in further processing?
State distributing and recipient agencies, such as school districts, are eligible.
3. What benefits do further processing participants receive?
Through participating in further processing, State distributing agencies (SDA) and most recipient agencies (RA) find that they can:
- Stretch their USDA Food dollars by ordering lower-cost bulk products;
- Increase food safety by eliminating handling of raw product in school foodservice operations;
- Reduce labor costs and cash outlays for food preparation;
- Reduce storage and delivery costs; and
- Have their bulk USDA Foods delivered directly from USDA vendors to the further processors of their choice.
4. How does further processing currently operate?
Multiple forms of USDA Foods are available as ordering options, one of which is bulk for processing. For example, funds to support the turkey market may be spent on direct-ship, value-added turkey roasts, turkey ham, deli breasts or bulk pack turkeys. The bulk pack is often available at a lower cost per pound and is specifically designed for efficient processing into end products such as sliced deli meat or cooked crumbles. The State coordinates with school districts the best forms in which to order USDA Foods to meet schools needs.
For raw bulk USDA Foods to be further processed into selected end products, the State distributing agency or school district contracts with commercial food processors to have the USDA Foods converted to more ready-to-use products. This legally binding agreement (or processing agreement) allows the processor to receive USDA Foods like bulk chicken as an ingredient in the production of a finished end product like grilled chicken breast and fajita strips. In turn, the value of the USDA Foods is passed through to the recipient agency in the form of a lower cost for the finished product. USDA purchases and delivers bulk USDA Foods to the designated processing location as ordered by the State. Some State agencies delegate certain processing functions, such as ordering, bidding, and monitoring, to school districts. Others manage these functions themselves.
5. How does the USDA Foods value get passed on to the recipient agency?
Processors entering into these types of agreements must ensure that the full value of the USDA Foods contained in the finished products is returned to the recipient agency. This value can be returned to the recipient agency by:
(a) discounting the normal commercial price of a product;
(b) paying a refund to the school; or
(c) charging a fee for service for converting the USDA Foods.
End products made from meat or poultry are usually produced under fee-for-service agreements. Under this arrangement the end products are sold at a processing fee, which represents the processor's costs for labor, packaging, other ingredients, and administrative overhead. With a fee for service, the value of the USDA Foods in the end products is not included in the price of the product.
6. What is the purpose of a USDA Foods Processing Agreement?
As with any contractual arrangement, the processing agreement is designed to protect the interests of all parties involved—i.e., the distributing agency, the recipient agency and the processor. Under this agreement, the processor agrees to protect and account for all USDA Foods delivered to them for further processing. Processors also agree to produce the end products in the specific form requested by the State distributing agency or school.
7. Is there only one type of USDA Foods Processing Agreement?
No. Under this program, State and Recipient Agencies can contract with commercial food processors to convert raw bulk USDA Foods into more convenient, ready-to-use end products. There are four basic types of processing agreements:
- National Processing Agreement. In an effort to reduce costs and paperwork, FNS has taken on the roll of holding the agreement with the processor and approving all of the end products that will be manufactured under the agreement.
State Agreement. Under a state agreement, the distributing agency negotiates bids and/or prices, selects the processor and the end products which will be produced, and enters into an agreement with the processor.
Recipient Agency Agreement. Under a recipient agency agreement, the recipient agency or school enters into an agreement with the processor. This kind of arrangement requires the approval of the distributing agency. Once approved, the recipient agency may purchase end products from that processor. A recipient agency agreement should be used after the agency has completed its procurement process.
State Master Agreement. Under a State master agreement, the distributing agency enters into an agreement with the processor and only designated eligible recipient agencies may purchase end products from the processor.
8. Who is responsible for the procurement of processing services?
- Under a National agreement, the State distributing agency or recipient agency is responsible for conducting procurement depending on who controls the finished product.
- Under a State agreement, the State is responsible for conducting procurement.
- Under both the State master agreement and the recipient agency agreement, the recipient agency is responsible for conducting the procurement.
Regardless of the type of agreement that is used, processing services must be procured as stipulated in 7 CFR 3016.36.
All procurements are subject to the most stringent procurement thresholds whether that is Federal, State, or local thresholds.
9. What should be included in the Processor Agreement?
It is essential that the processing agreement be accurately completed. The agreement must contain the following:
- State distributing agency information--State, agency name, agency representative or contact person, address, and telephone number;
- Processor information--company name, company representative, address, and telephone number;
- List of all USDA Foods used by the processor--the processor must be very specific about what USDA Foods will be used;
- Specific information regarding the processor's plant location(s);
- Effective dates of the agreement--both beginning and ending dates must be specified;
- Information regarding the value pass-through system(s) the processor will use—e.g., discount system vs. refund system;
- Debarment certification which states that the processor has not been debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from certain transactions with the Federal or State government;
- Specific information that may be required in a "Special Provisions" article of the agreement, such as subcontracting information, delivery requirements, information regarding by-product credits (particularly for meat and poultry processing), etc.; and
- Names, addresses, titles, and signatures of the authorizing persons who represent the distributing agency and the processor.
10. How many processors participant in USDA Foods Processing?
Over 120 processors.
11. How many processors have processing agreements in more than one State?
Over 100 processors.
12. What is the value of the foods processed under USDA Foods Processing Agreements?
In SY 2012, approximately $1.3 billion worth of USDA Foods were made available to schools. Of that total, school districts diverted over half for further processing.
13. What foods are available for reprocessing?
At least 70 products are reprocessed. Products that are most often reprocessed are:
Basic USDA Foods Processed End Products Pork Cooked crumbles, shredded pork Beef Charbroiled patties, crumbles, meat balls Eggs Egg patties, breakfast burritos Chicken Fajita strips, breast strips, nuggets, patties Turkey Turkey ham, breast deli slices, turkey crumbles Flour, mozzarella, tomato paste Pizza Tomatoes Salsa, marinara sauce, meat sauce, ketchup Potatoes Oven roasted, dehydrated products Apples Fresh slices, applesauce
14. What regulations govern USDA Foods Processing?
USDA Foods Processing is governed by regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations at 7 CFR Part 250.30. A complete copy of the 7 CFR 250 regulations may be found on the Food Distribution website at: www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/regulations.
15. Who should I contact for more information about USDA Foods Processing?
For more information about the USDA Foods Processing, we suggest that you contact your State distributing agency. A list of these State Contacts may be found on the Food Distribution website at: www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/contacts/sdacontacts.htm.

Nairobi, 7 February 2001
- Global warming may be set to accelerate as rising temperatures in the Arctic melt the permafrost causing it to release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, scientists warned today (WED). An estimated 14 per cent of the world's carbon is stored in Arctic lands. But there is new and emerging evidence that this ancient carbon, locked away in these frozen lands, is starting to be released as rising temperatures cause the permafrost to melt and its organic material to be broken down by bacteria.
Svein Tveitdal, managing director of GRID Arendal in Norway, a UNEP environmental information centre monitoring the melting of the permafrost, told a meeting at the 21st session of the United Nations's Governing Council in Nairobi, Kenya today: "Permafrost has acted as a carbon sink, locking away carbon and other greenhouse gases like methane, for thousands of year. But there is now evidence that this is no longer the case, and the permafrost in some areas is starting to give back its carbon. This could accelerate the greenhouse effect".
He said there were already impacts on roads, buildings, pipelines and other infrastructure occurring in Arctic areas like Alaska and Siberia as result of the recent decades of climate change. Permafrost, which is a solid structure of frozen soil, can be an ideal terrain on which to build. But rising temperatures can turn it into a soft, slurry-like, material which can trigger subsidence and damage to buildings and structures.
Studies by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks indicate that a change in permafrost temperature of minus four degrees Centigrade to minus one degree Centigrade decreases the load capacity of permafrost by as much as 70 per cent. In some parts of Siberia homes and buildings are already suffering as a result with cracks and other fractures appearing.
Dr Tveitdal, whose organisation is UNEP's key Arctic centre, said it was urgent for governments to act to reduce the threat of climate change on the Arctic. He said it was important for nations to implement the targets of a five per cent cut back in greenhouse gases, agreed to in Kyoto in 1997, as a first step. "The political response at the moment is far slower than the estimated rate of climate change this century. Even with the Kyoto targets, we are far away from reducing emissions by the 60 per cent to 70 per cent researchers suggest is necessary to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere," said Dr Tveitdal.
He said the recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had added new urgency. The IPCC's scientists now estimate that temperatures this century may rise by up to 5.8 degrees C. "In some areas like the Arctic you might have up to 10 degrees C this century, " he said.
UNEP believe that it is inevitable that countries in the Arctic will have to therefore adapt to the impacts of global warming. Crucial to this will be good monitoring of the way the permafrost is responding to rising temperatures. GRID Arendal have produced interactive maps, illustrating the current extent of permafrost in blue, which will act as a baseline from which scientists and policy makers can track the melting and shrinking of the Arctic's frozen soils. "I do not think it is radical to say that the map will become progressively less blue in the coming years," said Dr Tveitdal.
The threat of climate change to the Arctic and its permafrost will take centre stage at the Arctic Council meeting of ministers taking place in Finland in June. Klaus Toepfer, UNEP Executive Director is expected to attend this crucial event. UNEP scientists fear the melting of the permafrost and the disruption caused may also have important impacts on the wildlife, such as the reindeer, and the traditional lifestyle indigenous people living there. An estimated 200,000 indigenous people, drawn from 30 ethnic groups, are represented in Arctic Russia alone.

Transportation, Energy and Infrastructure
The bearing capacity of permafrost has decreased with warming, resulting in failure of pilings for buildings and pipelines and road beds.
The Arctic is the supplier and source for a large fraction of the non renewable resources for the rest of the world. Siberia, Alaska and North west Canada contain large reserves of liquid and gas petroleum and also vast coal resources. Only a portion of these resources have been discovered, explored or exploited so far.
The predicted effects of climate change on the production, storage and transportation of petroleum, gas and coal, on mining, and on sea and land transportation have important implications, both negatively and positively, for the global economy.
Energy production by means of hydroelectric systems, fossil fuel, and other less-standard techniques, and impacts on the infrastructure of power generation, and on transportation will be affected by changes in the seasonal temperatures, precipitation, wind and solar radiation, and by glacial melt, permafrost thawing, river flow, and snow accumulation.
Climate effects on the river systems, port facilities, and hindrances or improvements in ocean transportation (e.g., reduction in sea ice thickness and extent) will have vital impacts on the regional energy needs, as well as transportation of materials both into and out of the Arctic.
The following impacts have been observed in recent years:
Other impacts likely to occur if climate warming continues include:
Permafrost problems again deserve some special attention. There is great concern that the impact of global warming on permafrost and reduction of permafrost bearing capacity can exceed the safety factor, which is incorporated in the design of existing structures.
As an example, the estimated impact of temperature increase on soil bearing capacity for Yakutsk, Russia is shown in the Table 7 (due to Khroustalev, 1999). Comparison of temperature data in Table 7 and temperature increases predicted by different scenarios of global warming shows that warming will be a very important factor in reducing the bearing capacity of permafrost soil in the nearest future. This factor also has to be taken into account by engineers in present designs.
Table 7. Decrease of bearing capacity of frozen the soil at the base of the pile foundations as a function of soil temperature (Yakutsk, Russia).
Khroustalev (1999) analyzed the potential failure of 5-story apartment buildings constructed in the Russian Arctic during 1950-1990. The temperature trend was assumed to be equal to 0.075 oC/year and the analysis shows that the lifetime of buildings will be much shorter than was expected and numerous building will collapse (Table 8).
According to this analysis (Table 8), most of the apartment buildings constructed between 1950 and 1990 will be severely affected as a result of global climate change weakening their foundations.In Tiksi and Yakutsk and cities with similar conditions, the entire infrastructure can be lost by 2030 if protective measures are not taken soon.
Table 8. Percent of apartment buildings for which failure is predicted
Numerous deformations of buildings are already typical for many cities in the Russian Arctic. For example, about 250 of the 5-12 story apartment buildings are damaged in Norilsk; 100 of them need repair. In Yakutsk there are 300 buildings in a similar state. It is likely that climate change is the main cause of the damage to these buildings.

FGD: Quick Work

The title above refers to two things: the amount of efffort I'm putting into this post on a Saturday morning after a rare Friday night off, and what the Flames should make of the Oilers tonight at Rexall Place. After a solid two game stint in California, Calgary traveled to a much less prime destination yesterday for their fourth meeting with Edmonton tonight (8pm, CBC and Sportsnet 960).
The Lineup
All right, a little more clarity to what's going on. Brendan Morrison is a gametime decision, so if he's back in, expect things to shuffle a little bit with Roman Horak exiting the lineup. If he doesn't, the lines and pairings will be the same from Thursday night, which will look like this:
Mike Cammalleri-Mikael Backlund-Jarome Iginla
Blake Comeau-Olli Jokinen-Tim Jackman
Tom Kostopoulos-Blair Jones-Lee Stempniak
Lance Bouma-Roman Horak-Matt Stajan
Jay Bouwmeester-Chris Butler
Mark Giordano-Scott Hannan
T.J. Brodie-Cory Sarich
As for Alex Tanguay, he's cleared to play and with the team in Edmonton, but will not go tonight. It's the coaches decision, so it sounds like they want Tanguay to get a little more conditioning before getting him back in the lineup. Miikka Kiprusoff gets the start in net.
The Opponent
Of course we have to know more about the Oilers. Taylor Hall will finally play a game against the Flames, after missing the previous three games for different reasons. Once he was sick, the other two he was injured; this time, he's coming off a gruesome looking skate-related injury he suffered on Tuesday in warmup in Columbus. Hall missed Thursday's loss in St. Louis, but will return tonight.
Taylor Hall-Sam Gagner-Ales Hemsky
Ryan Smyth-Shawn Horcoff-Jordan Eberle
Anton Lander-Eric Belanger-Ryan Jones
Ben Eager-Ryan O'Marra-Magnus Paajarvi
Ladislav Smid-Corey Potter
Andy Sutton-Jeff Petry
Theo Peckham-Colten Teubert
It looks like Nikolai Khabibulin will get the start in net tonight for the Oilers, coming off a pretty solid effort in a 1-0 loss Thursday in St. Louis.
Sum It Up
The Flames don't lose to the Edmonton Oilers, that's just how things have gone lately. I'm sure it'll happen eventually, and with the Oilers getting healthier, they'll be a tougher test tonight than they would have been a few weeks ago. That said, there's really no excuse for Calgary to lose tonight.
January 21 2012, 02:08PM
Feaster did an interview with Ryan Rishaug and he made it sound like Tanguay was still a few games away.
Here is the interview for anyone interested. There is some really interesting stuff in there, including talks on Backlund and his play so far.

The Governor's Office of Economic Development recently announced the acceptance of Rural Fast Track Program incentive applications and is in the process of funding several existing rural Utah companies. For the first time in Utah history, very small Utah companies have a program to assist their growth. The program which was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., will offer help to rural Utah companies that are at least two years old and in a growth mode.
The expectation of the program is consistent with Gov.Huntsman's plan for broad based, statewide economic development.
"Utah's small businesses have always been a vital part of the Utah economy. When a company adds one or two or even a dozen new employees to their payroll in a small rural community, that growth can have a major impact for good," said Gov. Huntsman. "The companies we have recently assisted demonstrate that rural Utah produces significant world class products and services."
The Rural Fast Track Program is designed specifically for businesses in communities with a county population less than 30,000 people and with an average county household income of less than $60,000. RFT provides an efficient way for existing, small companies to receive incentives for creating high paying jobs in the rural areas of the state to further promote economic development. Under this program, 20 percent of the Industrial Assistance Fund may be used to incent companies to expand in rural Utah.
Three Emery County businesses have already received approval for Fast Track Funding - Talon Resources, EAO Services and Johnson's Diesel.
The Fast Track Grants are designed for manufacturing and service related businesses. Retail businesses are not eligible.
Allen Childs, President of Talon Resources in Huntington, has worked hard to build an engineering, consulting and surveying company in the heart of Utah's coal and mining country. However before they could grow their business they had to solidify the business niche they had.
"To solidify our business, we have to wear many hats; we have to have more than one profit center. With our goal of growing our business, we have had to wait, and sometimes miss opportunities, due to traditional financing and our ability to acquire new loans," said Allen Childs. "With this Rural Fast Track Program, we have an opportunity to expedite our ability to grow our business and take advantage of opportunities that are available to us now. Our state has been great at providing incentives for large corporations to relocate to Utah. It was good to see that the great state of Utah is concerned and recognizes the importance Utah's small businesses."
Talon anticipates hiring 11 additional full time employees. These positions will be filled from the Emery and Carbon county area, from the displaced worker ranks or from the young individuals that are just starting into the job market. Childs is interested in building his community.
"We feel that we will be able to keep a small segment of our young workers home. They can start their careers and not have to move away from the county they call home," said Childs. "We will be able to provide jobs that will provide employees with growth potential and a higher than average county wage."
Charles Bardsley, Owner of Mine Systems Company in Helper, expects to add two critically important new positions to their firm. Bardsley found that the Rural Fast Track grant would help him leverage dollars he was borrowing.
"Finding out that we had this resource available came at the most opportune time. I had been worried about where the money was going to come from to expand our company operations in the industrial battery repair business," said Charles Bardsley. "This grant allows us to go to our lender and leverage the other $100,000.00 needed to complete our expansion project."
In the coal mining industry industrial batteries are used in various ways. Batteries in need of repair are currently shipped back to the east coast. Now that the Mine Systems battery shop has opened, they are able to service batteries locally which make the mining customers in Utah very happy. Not only will the mines be saving money and time, but Mine Systems will be more profitable. This is a true win-win for company, community and the State.
Rural Fast Track funds are limited, but because of the structure of the program, incentives will be available each year to a number of firms. There are substantial business tools available to businesses in the rural areas of our state.
"This is a great time to be in business in Utah, by partnering with financial institutions, venture capital sources, the Small Business Administration, the Small Business Development Centers, Manufacturers Extension Partnership, EDCUtah, trade associations and our college and university system business leaders now have more assistance than ever before, said Jason Perry, Executive Director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development. "Combined with hard work and these resources, the Utah business community can keep our State a shining example of a dynamic economy and one of the 'Best States for Business' for many years to come."
Michael McCandless is the Emery County Economic Development Director, he said, "In order to be eligible, businesses must be able to show that the funding will either generate new jobs or an expansion in wages to employees. The grants are designed to be spent on infrastructure or capital improvements.
Things like inventory or debt service are not eligible uses. Applicants are encouraged to work with us at the economic development department of Emery County to prepare the application to ensure it receives appropriate attention. We can assist in reviewing the documents and can also provide letters of support that can assist in the review process. Businesses from all parts of rural Utah are eligible and the funding is on a first come, first serve basis," said McCandless.
Summary of Rural Fast Track Criteria:
Must be a licensed business.
Company must have been in business within the state for at least two years.
Company must have at least two employees.
Company must be located and conduct business operations where:
County population is under 30,000.
County average household income is less than $60,000.
Two ways to obtain a grant:
1) A company may apply for grants, loans, or other financial assistance to help develop and expand its business in rural Utah. The maximum any company may receive is $50,000 under the program, if approved by the administrator. The project should have a business plan and show a direct link between the proposed business plan and furthering economic development within the community and State.
2) A company may also apply for a cash grant for creating and retaining high paying jobs in rural areas of the state.
a.$1,000 for each new incremental job paying 110 percent of the county's average annual wage.
b.$1,250 for each new job paying 115 percent of the county's average wage.
c.$1,500 for each new job paying 125 percent of the county's average wage.
The Rural Fast Track Process has been simplified as opposed to the traditional large business Industrial Assistance Fund application.
Company submits completed application, staff reviews and determines if all material requires and criteria have been met, RFTP Committee meets and denies or approves projects, approval letters and drafts of the contracts are sent out.
For further information regarding the Rural Fast Track Program from the Governor's Office of Economic Development, contact Mike McCandless in the Emery County Economic Development office at 381-5576.

Blowing Up A Storm, CD (£7.43)
In 1978 as punk rock raged all around, Whirlwind were the unlikely choice of support act among the punk rockers and new wavers. Fronted by the charismatic Nigel Dixon, they opened for everyone from the Clash, to Blondie and the Blockheads. Their stripped-down boppin' rockabilly endeared them to punks and Teds alike, despite the alleged aggro between them. This first album originally appeared as a 10", but here we have the full 12" track listing, complete with Barney Bubbles' masterful cover. The album consists mainly of covers of hot records from the then burgeoning rockabilly scene with a smattering of originals from Nigel and guitarist Mick Lewis. This album is a reminder of why they were thee hot rockin' band of choice nearly 30 years ago.

Comments: Great idea, but these are very tough to make work if any vegetation at all gets on them. And they collect a lot with those two arms out. They also are hesitant to start spinning once they hit the water, as if they need to "find themselves" before getting started.
Basically only one out of five or more casts work properly, and when it worked it was very cool, just didn't work well often. A lot of wire on these things as well. Too much machinery.. Fished just for an hour, no hits.. got frustrated with it, stopped.
From: Craig: Sunrise, FL
Comments: the design of these lure's allow them to be fished in a 'stop & drop' method just like the 'drop dead fred' single arm spinnerbait's which are deadly, pardon the pun. they are more effective with colorado blades when fished in this manor. the colorado blades slow the fall rate which is the key factor. a #11 pork frog is the best trailer for this application due to the bouyancy. placement is more important than color with these lures. if you are not fishing them, your missing out!
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: Hi, I fish these baits all the time. They really catch fish. They run true and all blades helicopter on the fall. These baits are as good or better to any other spinnerbait I've ever used. Its cool the way you can change your bait to match the conditions, You can go from a double willow in silver for clear water to a double Colorado in the gold blades for muddy water and any combination in between in seconds its mind boggling and a lot of fun, let me tell you.

N.J. Devils Draft Stefan Matteau
One of the most memorable goals in NHL hockey history happened in 1994, when in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, New York Rangers left winger Stefan Matteau scored in the second overtime against the New Jersy Devils to advance the Rangers to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final, where they would win the Stanley Cup. For the past 18 years, Devils goalie Martin Brodeur has been serenaded with chants of "Matteau!, Matteua!, Matteau!" by the Madison Square Garden crowd, referencing the famous call made by then Rangers radio broadcaster Howie Rose.
In a very ironic twist, the New Jersey Devils drafted Stefan Matteau with the 29th pick overall, in the NHL Draft on Friday. Matteau has the same name as his father who scored that famous goal against the Devils 18 years ago. The junior Matteau is a 18-year-old, 6-foot-2 center. To make things even more surreal, the Rangers had the 28th pick and passed on Matteau, and chose a defenseman named Brady Skjei one pick earlier.
How the Rangers passed on Matteau's kid is beyond me? They owed it to Matteau and the Ranger fans to draft him. Now Ranger fans have to root against one of their most beloved players son's and watch him play for that swamp land team? Rangers management blew this one big time! I bet the Madison Square Garden faithful will give Matteau's kid a big hand. "Matteau!, Matteau!, Matteau!" will never be tarnished, even if his son is a Devil.
