Clinton's Debt-Free Tuition Plan Seems Likely to Flunk
Over the next couple of days, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be playing up her new, $350-billion proposal primarily intended to make paying public college tuition a debt-free experience.
Republican Candidates' Spending Increases
The Republicans took the stage in their first presidential debate Thursday night. Of the 16 major candidates, eight have gubernatorial experience. I have written a number of times recently about the fiscal records of the candidates with gubernatorial experience. Their records are instructive. A governor who promises to cut federal spending is more believable if he held spending in check when he was governor.
Federal Subsidies Miss Target
The Wall Street Journal today discusses how the growth in federal subsidies for college has contributed to the growth in college costs for students. Cato scholars have been arguing for years that rising grants and loans are not so much helping students, but causing bloat in college administration costs, including wages, benefits, and excess building construction.
Coercion Is Bad Economics
A common feature of Obama administration economic policies is the use of government coercion. The Obamacare health law mandated that individuals buy insurance. The administration's tax increases grabbed more earnings from millions of people. And federal agencies are imposing an increasing pile of labor, environmental, and financial regulations on businesses.
Jared Bernstein Tilts His Tax Facts
Former Obama administration economist, Jared Bernstein, argues for higher taxes in a New York Times op-ed yesterday. His piece begins:
Keeping Their Promises
In blogs over the last several months, I have revisited the fiscal records of the eight Republican presidential candidates who have gubernatorial experience. As the 2016 race heats up, the candidates will begin making many promises on tax and spending issues, but will we be able to believe them?
Kasich's Fiscal Record
John Kasich, the Governor of Ohio, makes his presidential announcement today. He becomes the 16th person to join the Republican field and the 8th current or former governor.
Funding Highways: States Can Do It
Congress faces a deadline at the end of July to extend federal highway funding. Policymakers are likely to cobble together a short-term fix for the funding gap in the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), rather than enacting a permanent solution.
Too Big To Work
Americans have a sour view of the federal government. Just one-third of people think Washington is competent. The public thinks half of taxes collected are wasted. More people say "government" is the nation's most important problem than say that honor goes to the economy, immigration or terrorism.
Scott Walker's Fiscal Record
Monday is Scott Walker's turn to join the crowded presidential field. Walker has served as Wisconsin's Governor since 2011. He rose to prominence quickly after the State Capitol in Madison was overtaken by protesters opposing his labor reforms. Walker has passed a number of government-limiting measures, earning a "B" on Cato's Governor Report Card in both 2012 and 2014, but he continues to support higher spending.

My name is Shelia Anderson, I live in Emery and we have been involved in the honey bee business for the past six years. We decided we needed someway to keep us busy in our retirement years; but little did we realize that it would soon become a full time business.
I soon became fascinated with the honey bees and I enjoy actually getting out and working directly with the bees. It soon became apparent that there was a good demand for other products that also came from the honey bees so after several requests, I decided to start producing bees wax candles, the bee bar, which is a pop out moisturizer bar made from bees wax and other natural ingredients, lip balm, and body and bath soaps also made from honey and bees wax. All of these products have also become real popular throughout the interest area.
Due to the fact that my honey bees only produce a limited supply of bees wax each year, our supply is limited as I only use my own quality beeswax. In addition to the bees wax products I also sell and package our own honey which I sell in 8 oz. bears, 2 lbs bears, 5 lbs buckets, 1 gallon buckets, and 5 gallon buckets. I also make custom gift bags with my honey and my beeswax products. These gift bags are customized to each individual's request and price.

It's the end of the year and time to reflect. Has this been a good business year for you or a not-so-good year? As 2011 comes to a close, it is very easy to make an assumption that business has been tough for everyone. But has it? Through my relationships with colleagues and other consultants, I have found that 2011 has run the gamut from "so busy my hair is on fire" to "the worst year ever." Why are some businesses going gangbusters while others are just waiting to be put to rest?
The answer may be in what you are selling and how it's positioned. Is your product, or service, a necessity of tomorrow or has that need seen a steady decline? Do your customers see your product in a beneficial light or is that your opinion? Are you positioned in a compelling manner? Are your messages clear, easy to understand and believable? Now is a good time to take a look at what you are selling and see how it measures up in today's environment.
While I can't begin to talk about all the business verticals that are actually doing well in these tough times, I talk about some companies that fall in the forefront of current trends, needs and technology. Where does your business fit?
Current Trends
I know of several firms that have been busier this year than ever before. Cloud computing is the newest thing since sliced bread, and companies want to take advantage of managed services and third-party hosting for a number of reasons: to help them downsize, to allow them to focus on their core business, and to take advantage of a knowledge base they may not have internally.
Web hosting companies offer to help businesses, large and small, have an online presence, even if they don't have an IT department to provide support. Companies offering these types of services have seen tremendous growth in 2011 because they are supporting the trend toward "all things online." Do your products fit in with current business or social trends?
Current Needs
Companies operating in and around the telecommunications space have also done well this year. Tablets, smartphones and mobile computing are huge and growing in popularity. The need for bandwidth increases with services offering downloadable entertainment such as iTunes, Netflix, Google, Hulu and Pandora. And that's mostly only talking about the social uses of these media. There is also a tremendous amount of bandwidth consumed by corporations and companies for work-related purposes. Companies that offer bandwidth, or access to it, have all been growing, working hard to prove users and consumers the connection they need. Is your product or service providing a current or future need?
Current Technology
Nonprofits have tapped into technology that allows donors to text a code to a certain phone number to donate money to a cause. During the Japan crisis, the Red Cross ran ads letting people know how to donate to the relief effort through their smart phones. This technology is quick, easy and effective. It allows people to donate money, where they may not take the time to call, use a credit card or write a check and it helps nonprofits get the badly needed funds to help out in a crisis.
Another popular technology, QR codes, are becoming more and more commonplace. From local restaurants to national auto dealers, the codes allow buyers to get more information on the quick, no more typing in web site addresses or searching for information, it will all show up when your smart phone scans the code. Mobile apps, too, are becoming ubiquitous. I have the Southwest Airlines app on my iPhone. I hear the ding daily, letting me know when a new deal has become available, and I can immediately check out flight times and costs. I also have a mobile triage app. It helps me understand any symptoms my kids may have, and provides guidance on whether I need to call a doctor or hit the nearest emergency room, and that information is in the app as well.
Companies are working very hard to let their customers buy anytime, anywhere. How easy is it for your customers to find you, and buy from you? How will you include new technologies in your business and marketing and sales mix?
We've all known of good products that flopped, not because the products were bad, but because of timing. While I'm not proposing that all businesses should change focus and work in telecom, or that everyone needs a mobile app, I am suggesting that you take time out now as we head into a new year and take stock of your products, services and relationships. If any of those are outdated, or don't service a purpose anymore, maybe it's time to retool and rethink about your company's direction.
We have to remember it's not just about the product or service we'll selling, it's about the economy, the needs and wants of our customers, and new ways of doing business that could put your product on the most wanted list, or leave your company gasping for air. Have a happy, happy New Year.

The Technicolor Nightmares of Morgan Delt
Tons of great tapes coming out these days but this one has been tickling all the right nodes of late. The mysterious MORGAN DELT of Topanga Canyon paints a beautiful technicolor nightmare reminiscent of the dark UK psych pop of Kaleidoscope and July or the ethereal freak outs of the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Haunted Floydian vocals and time-expanding harpsichord vortexes melted over some very groovy bass lines. Strangely shifting song structures feel like a trip through a teetering funhouse ride. Nobody else is doing it like this these days, that's for sure.
You can and should order the tape and preview it HERE.

Farnsworth House PLUS by Bus
Farnsworth House PLUS by Bus
Chicago Architecture Foundation
Thursday, October 7 at 9:30am
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a founder of Modernism and one of most influential architects of the 20th Century, lived and worked in Chicago for over 30 years. This full day tour by deluxe motorcoach presents some of the greatest works of Mies and the architects that he influenced and inspired. The tour highlight is an extended visit to Farnsworth House, the renowned "glass house" created by Mies in an idyllic country setting
The first tour stop is at 860-880 Lake Shore Drive, the twin towers by Mies considered to be the first modern skyscrapers. Next is a visit to the campus of Illinois Institute of Technology, originally planned by Mies. This includes Crown Hall, which Mies himself described as his best work, and Carr Chapel, his only religious building. We also view two recent additions to the campus by renowned contemporary architects: Helmut Jahn's State Street Village and McCormick-Tribune Campus Center by Rem Koolhaas. We then head to Farnsworth House, located near suburban Plano, about a 75 minute drive from Chicago. Along the tour route, we will see more great works of modern architecture: John Hancock Center, Lake Point Tower, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and others. A buffet lunch is included.

Janet Ambers, Scientist, British Museum
This is the latest in a series of posts about the unfolding of the Norwich shroud, a joint project between the British Museum and Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery
With the shroud unfolded for the first time (although still in need of much conservation attention) David Saunders, Keeper of Conservation and Scientific Research, Emma Passmore, Mellon Research Fellow, Caroline Cartwright, scientist, and I made our first visit to see what had been revealed on the inner surface.
David has a longstanding interest in the use of imaging techniques to enhance and investigate painted surfaces, and our main objective was to examine areas where text has been applied.
Using specialist cameras, we took both infrared and ultraviolet images of the shroud. Infrared reflectography is often employed in research into paintings to reveal initial sketches under the final images. For the shroud, it will make the black text clearer. This will help John Taylor with his interpretation of the hieroglyphs while the conservators continue to treat the shroud, and also allow the hieroglyphs to be published clearly for international scholars.
Imaging with ultraviolet light may help to show surface coatings and stains. Both of these approaches are very useful for objects like this as they provide information without the need for sampling, or indeed for any contact with the surface at all.
Caroline Cartwright, who specialises in fibre identification (amongst other things), took tiny samples of the linen ground (approximately two to three millimetres long) both with and without pigment.
Examining them under the scanning electron microscope (SEM) allowed her to positively identify the fibres as linen, and give the conservators information about their construction and condition.
The images here clearly show the weave of the textile, the twist direction of the fibres, and pigment sitting on the surface of the linen fibres (which appears white under the SEM). It also shows how few breaks there are in each fibre, confirming their good condition, and how surprisingly clean they are, suggesting the shroud may have been kept mostly in a folded state, and/or not extensively disturbed, be it by repeated opening and folding, handling, study or display.
My main role is to identify the pigments used. To enable me to do this Melina Plottu, our textile conservation intern from France, collected samples of the various pigments. She removed tiny pieces of single fibres with traces of colour on and placed them between two slides. I took these back to our laboratories and examined them under the microscope of a Raman spectrometer.
This equipment uses changes in the wavelength of a laser beam shone on to a material to provide an absolute identification.
Raman showed that both the light and the dark black pigments are based on carbon. There is a possibility that crushed charcoal was used for this, but the most common Egyptian black ink is known to have been produced using soot (sometimes called carbon black in the art world).
Why some areas of black text on the shroud are much lighter than others is not yet clear. The colour in the red ink comes from hematite, an iron oxide. This is responsible for the colour of red ochre, a form of red coloured earth extensively found throughout Egypt and frequently used as a pigment in Egyptian art.
Melina and Monique Pullan, the textile conservator leading the conservation, have also found a single area of white pigment, used around the area of a cartouche in the centre of the shroud. This proved to be gypsum, a white mineral common in Egypt.
The conservators were reassured to know it wasn't huntite, another white mineral sometimes used as a pigment in Egypt – its sensitivity to moisture would have precluded many of the water based treatments used to relax and realign fragile fibres.

Course Descriptions
|Grounded Theory and Ethnography
Qualitative research has evolved tremendously over the last few decades. This class is designed to investigate in depth two research methods that support a very specific philosophy of qualitative inquiry. Both approaches take as their source the following: all meaning is actually a contested site of multiple practices, the social world in all its cultural and structural diversity is created and re-created through interaction and that it is up to the researcher to understand the meaning that individuals give to their activity.
Grounded Theory Method (GTM) will be examined as a systematic, inductive and comparative approach for conducting inquiry, designed for the purpose of constructing theory. This important qualitative research method will be taught to encourage researchers' persistent interaction with their data, while remaining constantly involved with the emergence of an analytical frame. Students will also investigate the ethnographic method. From its historical roots in cultural anthropology this qualitative inquiry approach will be examined as a mode of inquiry that recognizes the centrality of culture as an analytic concept while orienting researchers with methodological pointers toward interaction. The methodological and theoretical fit between the two approaches will be examined.

This document has come in effect in June 2011 and will be reviewed periodically (see revision sections). The last modification has been made in May 2013.
The goals of Xen Project Governance are to:
- Create a set of minimum requirements for a sub-project hosted on Xenproject.org
- Create a lightweight project life cycle that
- leads the project to articulate its goals and how to achieve them
- encourages desired behaviours (e.g. open development)
- provides motivation for the project to succeed
- leads to non-viable projects failing quickly
- provides opportunities for other community members
- Avoid bureaucracy, i.e. the life cycle should be as informal as possible
- Encourage Xen related projects to be hosted on Xenproject.org rather than going elsewhere
- Set clear expectations to vendors, upstream and downstream projects and community members
The Xen Project is open to all and provides the same opportunity to all. Everyone participates with the same rules. There are no rules to exclude any potential contributors which include, of course, direct competitors in the marketplace.
Project discussions, minutes, deliberations, project plans, plans for new features, and other artefacts are open, public, and easily accessible.
The Xen Project is a meritocracy. The more you contribute the more responsibility you will earn. Leadership roles in Xen are also merit-based and earned by peer acclaim.
Consensus Decision Making
Sub-projects or teams hosted on Xenproject.org are normally auto-governing and driven by the people who volunteer for the job. This functions well for most cases. When more formal decision making and coordination is required, decisions are taken with a lazy consensus approach: a few positive votes with no negative vote are enough to get going.
Voting is done with numbers:
- +1 : a positive vote
- 0 : abstain, have no opinion
- -1 : a negative vote
A negative vote should include an alternative proposal or a detailed explanation of the reasons for the negative vote. The project community then tries to gather consensus on an alternative proposal that resolves the issue. In the great majority of cases, the concerns leading to the negative vote can be addressed.
Conflict Resolution
Sub-projects and teams hosted on Xenproject.org are not democracies but meritocracies. In situations where there is disagreement on issues related to the day-to-day running of the project, Committers and Project Leads are expected to act as referees and make a decision on behalf of the community. Referees should however consider whether making a decision may be divisive and damaging for the community. In such cases, the committer community of the project can privately vote on an issue, giving the decision more weight.
Last Resort
In some rare cases, the lazy consensus approach may lead to the community being paralyzed. Thus, as a last resort when consensus cannot be achieved on a question internal to a project, the final decision will be made by a private majority vote amongst the committers and project lead. If the vote is tied, the project lead gets an extra vote to break the tie.
For questions that affect several projects, committers and project leads of mature projects will hold a private majority vote. If the vote is tied, the Xen Project Advisory Board will break the tie through a casting vote.
Maintainers own one or several components in the Xen tree. A maintainer reviews and approves changes that affect their components. It is a maintainer's prime responsibility to review, comment on, co-ordinate and accept patches from other community member's and to maintain the design cohesion of their components. Maintainers are listed in a MAINTAINERS file in the root of the source tree.
Committers are Maintainers that are allowed to commit changes into the source code repository. The committer acts on the wishes of the maintainers and applies changes that have been approved by the respective maintainer(s) to the source tree. Due to their status in the community, committers can also act as referees should disagreements amongst maintainers arise. Committers are listed on the sub-project's team portal (e.g. Hypervisor team portal).
Sub-projects and Teams
The Xen Project organizes itself into a number of sub-projects, which follow the Project Governance (or Project Lifecycle) as outlined in this document. Sub-projects (sometimes simply referred to as projects) are run by individuals and are often referred to as teams to highlight the collaborative nature of development. For example, each sub-project has a team portal on Xenproject.org.
Project Lead
Sub-projects and teams hosted on Xenproject.org are managed by a Project Lead, who also is a committer of the sub-project/team he/she leads. Project Leads are the public figurehead of the project and is responsible for the health of the project. Due to their status in the community, project leads can also act as referees should disagreements amongst committers of the project arise. The project lead typically also has write access to resources, such as the web page of a specific project.
Xen Project Advisory Board
The Xen Project Advisory Board consists of members who are committed to steering the project to advance its market and technical success, and who serve as positive ambassadors for the project. The Xen Project Advisory Board manages non-technical aspects of the Xen Project including funding for shared project infrastructure, marketing and events, and managing the Xen Project trademark. The Advisory Board leaves all technical decisions to the open source meritocracy.
The Linux Foundation
The Xen Project is a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project. Collaborative Projects are independently funded software projects that harness the power of collaborative development to fuel innovation across industries and ecosystems. By spreading the collaborative DNA of the largest collaborative software development project in history, The Linux Foundation provides the essential collaborative and organizational framework so projects can focus on innovation and results.
Younger projects may have a need for a mentor to help ensure that the project will be successful. Mentors can be maintainers, project leads, advisory board members or other distinguished community members.
To form a new sub-project or team on Xenproject.org, we require a sponsor to support the creation of the new project. A sponsor can be a project lead or committer of a mature project, a member of the advisory board or the community manager. This ensures that a distinguished community member supports the idea behind the project.
Making Contributions
Making contributions in Xen follows the conventions as they are known in the Linux Kernel community. In summary contributions are made through patches that are reviewed by the community. Xen does not require community members to sign contribution or committer agreements. We do require contributors to sign contributions using the sign-off feature of the code repository, following the same approach as the Linux Kernel does (see Developer Certificate Of Origin).
More information on making contributions can be found in the following documents:
Elections and Formal Votes
Maintainer Elections
Developers who have earned the trust of maintainers (including the project lead) can be promoted to Maintainer. A two stage mechanism is used
- Nomination: A maintainer should nominate himself by proposing a patch to the MAINTAINERS file or mailing a nomination to the project's mailing list. Alternatively another maintainer may nominate a community member. A nomination should explain the contributions of proposed maintainer to the project as well as a scope (set of owned components). Where the case is not obvious, evidence such as specific patches and other evidence supporting the nomination should be cited.
- Confirmation: Normally, there is no need for a direct election to confirm a new maintainer. Discussion should happen on the mailing list using the principles of consensus decision making. If there is disagreement or doubt, the project lead or a committer should ask the community manager to arrange a more formal vote.
Committer Elections
Developers who have earned the trust of committers in their project can through election be promoted to Committer. A two stage mechanism is used
- Nomination: Community members should nominate candidates by posting a proposal to appointments at xenproject dot org explaining the candidate's contributions to the project and thus why they should be elected to become a Committer of the project. The nomination should cite evidence such as patches and other contributions where the case is not obvious. Existing Committers will review all proposals, check whether the nominee would be willing to accept the nomination and publish suitable nominations on the project's public mailing list for wider community input.
- Election: A committer will be elected using the decision making process outlined earlier. Voting will be done by committers for that project privately using a voting form that is created by the community manager. Should there be a negative vote the project lead and community manager will try and resolve the situation and reach consensus. Results will be published on the public mailing list.
Project Lead Elections
Projects which lose their project lead are at risk of failing. Should this occur, the project's maintainer community should agree who would want to be/be able to be the new project lead and follow the election process as outlined above.
Formal Votes
Sometimes it is necessary to conduct formal voting within the community (outside of elections). Formal votes are necessary when processes and procedures are introduced or changed, or as part of the Project Governance. Who is eligible to vote, depends on whether the scope of a process or procedure is local to a sub-project or team, or whether it affects all sub-projects (or in other words, is global). Examples of local scope is the Security Policy which applies to the Hypervisor Project only. Examples of global scope are changes to this document or votes outlined in the Project Governance.
|Who reviews?
|Who votes?
|Members of developer mailing lists of the affected projects.
|Maintainers of the project (or projects), which are affected by the process, procedure, etc. are allowed to vote. This includes maintainers from incubation projects (if the scope affects the project).
|Members of all developer mailing lists of all sub-projects hosted on Xenproject.org.
|Maintainers of all mature projects and the Xenproject.org community manager are allowed to vote.
The community manager first arranges a public review, followed by a timed private vote. Public review and voting should be open for a minimum of a week each. For voting a traceable poll mechanism (e.g. voting form that keeps auditable and tamper proof records) must be used. Voting follows the conventions as laid out in "Principle: Consensus Decision Making".
Project Governance
Basic Project Life Cycle
The proposal is to follow a simple basic flow:
A Xenproject.org hosted project starts with an idea which through the process of project formation will grow into a project proposal. The project proposal will need to satisfy some basic conditions, will be put out for community review and is then put to a vote to all maintainers and project leads of mature sub-projects hosted on Xenproject.org following the usual decision making process.
For agreed project proposals, the Xen Project will provide basic infrastructure and the project can get started. Sub-projects in incubation are working towards a set of goals, will get additional support and marketing opportunities from the Xen Project. However there will also be regular checkpoints to see whether the project is progressing. Should it turn out that a project is not viable any more, it will be archived after an archivation review and vote. For a project to graduate, some basic conditions must be satisfied. If a project in incubation has achieved the point where it believes it is mature enough to graduate, it can request a Graduation community review followed by a vote.
Mature projects are pretty much expected to run themselves. However at some point a mature project will lose momentum and developers. If this is the case the Xen Project community can request an archivation review, which follows the usual pattern.
Archivation reviews have two purposes:
- give somebody in the community an opportunity to step up and continue a project,
- archive the project outcomes such that they are still available to people who want to use them, but promotion of such projects will cease.
It is also possible to revive archived projects. However these are treated almost like new projects as projects would only be archived if they have become inactive.
Requesting Reviews, Reviews and Voting
Requesting Reviews: Project Proposal and Graduation Reviews are requested by the (prospective) project lead of the project by contacting the community manager providing the necessary documentation. An archivation review can be requested by any maintainer of a mature project or by the Xen Project community manager. The community manager will then publish relevant material on the respective mailing lists.
Reviews: These are off-line reviews which are open to all community members by which a proposal is published for review. The purpose of the review is two-fold:
- gather final feedback and input from the community (it is good practice to informally do this before the review),
- advertise the project with the aim to attract interest, users and contributors.
After a review, the requester of the review may decide to withdraw, request a re-review or progress to a vote by arranging with the community manager.
Voting: The community manager arranges a timed private vote as outlined in Formal Votes.
Forming a Project
Requirements for forming a sub-project or team on Xenproject.org:
- A project needs a lead, who is willing to become the project lead of the sub-project
- A project needs a sponsor, which can be a project lead of a mature project, a member of the Xen Project Advisory Board or the community manager
- There should be no dissent from other community members who would qualify as sponsor (see "Principle: Consensus Decision Making")
- A project needs a mentor, which can be the project sponsor or a maintainer of a mature project
- A project needs to have a relationship to other sub-projects or teams, i.e. it aims to develop software that has a dependency on other sub-projects or teams hosted on Xenproject.org. If the project needs components in other sub-projects to work, then this should also be stated.
- A project needs to be large and long-term enough to grant a separate project. For example adding support for a new CPU architecture, adding additional functionality on top of existing projects, etc. Adding a new feature to an existing project should be performed within an existing project.
- A project will deliver code using a license that is compatible with other sub-projects hosted on Xenproject.org (ideally GPLv2).
The purpose of the project formation phase is to work out what the project is about, get community buy-in and help the future project gain publicity and momentum. The formation phase is driven by the project lead. The project mentor's role is to advise and support the project lead in getting the project started.
The project proposal is a document that describes and is published on wiki.xenproject.org:
- What the project is aiming to achieve (i.e. the project charter and project goals)
- What components/code and in which code lines (new or components in other projects) the project aims to deliver
- Key dependencies on other sub-projects or teams hosted on Xenproject.org (if applicable)
- Lists initial maintainers (if applicable)
- Lists any interested parties in the project (if applicable)
- Lists any planned initial code contributions (if applicable)
- A rough plan on how to get through the Incubation phase
Project Proposal Review
The review is initiated by the project lead and follows the rules outlined in "Requesting Reviews, Reviews and Voting".
After a successful review, the following resources will be created for the project:
- A mailing list
- A codeline
- A sub-project or team portal on Xenproject.org (in an area separate from mature projects)
- A wiki page on wiki.xenproject.org (this is expected to be maintained by the project lead)
Incubating a Project
The purpose of the incubation phase is for a project to show that it is gathering momentum and adheres to the "Principles & Roles" of sub-projects hosted on Xenproject.org. The project mentor will work closely with the project lead and there are at least quarterly informal review meetings with the mentor on how the project is doing. Should a mentor not be able to fulfil his/her role any more, it is the responsibility of the project lead to find another mentor. We advise that the project lead gives at least quarterly updates on the Xen Project blog on how the project is doing.
The Xen Project will provide support to incubating projects. The project lead will work closely with the Xen Project community manager as well as with the project mentor.
Archiving an Incubating project
The mentor can request for a project to be archived, if the project is not making sufficient progress. See "archivation review".
Graduation Review
The review is initiated by the project lead and follows the rules outlined in "Requesting Reviews, Reviews and Voting". In essence the project lead makes a pitch to the community, why the project should graduate.
A project must fulfil the following requirements before it can graduate:
- It follows the principles of openness, transparency and meritocracy
- It has delivered at least one functioning release of what it is aiming to deliver
- It has a public code line which shows active development and has mechanisms to accept patches (and a history of accepting patches)
- It has a public mailing list that is active (as we get more experience we will add some guidelines)
- It has a mechanism for users to raise bugs and for developers to work on bugs
- It has an active developer community (as we get more experience we will add some guidelines). But things to look for are number of maintainers, different organisations involved, number of users, etc.
Other items to look at during the review (depending on project are):
- It has an up-to-date wiki and a core and group of people maintaining it
- It publishes regular builds and tests
- It promotes itself at events and on the blog
Mature Projects
Mature projects are expected to be run and promote themselves. The project lead has significant responsibility in ensuring that this happens. The Xen Project and the community manager will help organize events, provide opportunities for the project to get new contributors and build a community, promote new releases on the blog and to the press, work with project members, etc. However the Xen Project and the community manager will not get involved in the day-to-day running of the project.
At some point during its life cycle a project may lose momentum. In other words developers and users are not interested in the project any more. If this is the case, it may be time to archive the project. If the project has achieved its goals and is thus completed, it may also be time to archive the project.
Archivation Review
These can happen in a number of situations:
- An incubation project shows clear signs of failing and not progressing
- A mature project has lost its developer and user base (and there is little or no activity)
- The project has achieved its goals and/or fulfilled its charter: in other words it has completed
In the first case the review is triggered by the incubation project's mentor. Failing this the review can be requested by any maintainer of a mature project (including the projec's lead) or by the Xen Project community manager. See "Requesting Reviews, Reviews and Voting".
The review is essentially a pitch why the project should be archived. The purpose of the review is not necessarily to archive a project, but also to provide a last opportunity for interested parties in the Xen Project community to save the project and step up. The Xen Project community manager will support efforts to save the project, should community members want to step up. There is the special case that a project has been completed: in this case the normal situation would be for the project lead to make the case, why this is so.
Archived Projects
When a project is archived the following happens:
- The codeline and mailing list will be made read-only and made accessible from an archived projects section on Xenproject.org
- The project's wiki pages will be tagged as archived. A project may be completed (i.e. it has achieved its goals and/or fulfilled its charter) in which case it is tagged as completed and archived.
- The project or team portal on Xenproject.org will be moved into an Archive section. We may have a Completed section within the Archive section.
In cases where the project has delivered code into other sub-projects hosted on Xenproject.org, the code will be
- Deprecated at the point where the project is archived
- The project which now contains the archived code can (but does not have to) remove the code in a subsequent release (it should however give users sufficient time to adapt)
Exceptional Circumstances
Projects without Project Lead
Projects which lose their project lead during the incubation or maturity phase are at risk of failing. Should this occur, the project's maintainer community should agree who would want to be/be able to be the new project lead and follow the election process as outlined in "Electing Maintainers".
If a project lead leaves during the formation phase, without finding a successor we assume that the project does not have enough momentum and will not go ahead.
Incubation projects without Mentor
Should an incubation project lose its mentor, the Xen Project community manager will support the project lead in finding a new mentor.

DDS began issuing its most recent generation of DL and ID cards in 2010 under our SAFFE DL (Secure Automated Fast Friendly Easier Driver's License) Program. SAFFE DL contained over 20 overt, covert and forensic security features built into the DL/ID. Georgia's new Secure ID program builds on the advances of SAFFE DL by further enhancing the integrity and security of our DLs and ID cards.
To further improve the security and integrity of Georgia's DL and ID cards and to be fully compliant with the Federal Real ID Act of 2005, which adopted the recommendations of the 911 Commission. The Real ID Act prohibits the federal government from accepting driver licenses or IDs issued by non-compliant states to board a commercial flight or enter a federal building.
The requirements become effective July 1, 2012. The DDS Customer Service Centers will begin issuing the new Secure ID on Tuesday, July 3, 2012 to customers presenting the new required documentation.
You must go to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and obtain a Letter of Denial stating that you are not eligible for a SSN, and bring the letter with your other documents during your next visit to DDS.
DDS will accept a letter from the facility for customers who reside in a medical or assisted care facility. The letter must be on the facility's official letterhead and include your name, date of birth, the address of the facility, and the name and phone number of an official representative of the facility.
Yes. After July 1, 2012, if you bring the mandatory documents prior to your renewal, you will be issued a Secure DL or ID.
No. There will be no changes in the current fees. Click here to see the current DL and ID fees.
You will need to contact the appropriate agency to get a certified copy of an accepted identity document.
Until you have been issued a Secure ID DL or ID, you will be unable to renew your DL/ID online beginning July 1, 2012. However, all other online services such as ordering an MVR, checking your points, replacement of a lost license and change of address will continue to be available.
You must obtain a voucher from an approved Indigent Resource Provider (non-profit agency).
All new customers will be issued a Secure ID DL or ID card. All existing customers that need to renew or reinstate a DL/ID beginning July 1, 2012 will be issued a Secure ID DL or ID card.
Customers requesting a replacement or updating their existing DL or ID card are strongly encouraged to be issued a Secure ID DL or ID.
The benefits of a Secure DL/ID are that it:
DDS accepts a number of common documents to prove your residential address including:
If you currently hold an unexpired Georgia DL or ID, you will receive a temporary DL/ID that has a limited term (up to 120 days) which gives you additional time to gather the required documents and return to a Customer Service Center with your documents.
Yes, as long as the expiration date appearing on your DL or ID has not passed.
For Existing Customers - Customers who have an unexpired Georgia DL or ID must present the latest certified document supporting the most recent name change. For example, a woman who has divorced and wishes to change her name on her DL or ID will present an original birth certificate plus a divorce decree showing a full legal name.
For Customers New To Georgia - If the name has changed from an original birth record, passport, or other approved identity document, customers must present the complete trail of certified documents supporting all name changes. Acceptable documents include an original or certified copy of a marriage certificate or marriage license application (for all marriages), divorce decree (if a name change was specified on the decree), court ordered name change, or adoption decree.
Please Note: On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that all States recognize same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage is recognized in the State of Georgia.
The only visible difference from the current DL/ID is that a gold star will be printed on the top right corner of the Secure DL and IDs. An example is below:

Did You Know? Countdown to Chanukah 2009 (12/06)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Chanukah
the Jewish Festival of Lights
Dec 06 : 05 days till Chanukah
Did you know that the number of branches on the chanukiah is connected to a miracle said to have happened when the Maccabees restored the Temple?
The Jews cleaned up their Temple, fixed the broken alter and removed all the Greek idols. Then, they went to light the eternal lamp to rededicate the Temple. There was only enough oil to last for one night, and the process of refining more oil would have taken a long time. Miraculously, however, the oil burned through eight nights.
Did you know that Jewish law commands every Jewish person to light his or her own chanukiah?
This is why families will often own multiple chanukiot (plural), with simple, wooden ones being used for younger children. Once all the chanukiot are lit, families recite a special prayer and sing songs about the brave Maccabees.
Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days. Jewish people mark this eight-day holiday by lighting the menorah, an eight-branched candelabra, and eating foods fried in oil such as potato latkes and jelly donuts. Join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Chanukah.
Chanukah, Hanukkah, Hanaka — no matter how you spell it — the fun begins at sundown on Friday December 11th.

|In response to Re: Reliance 501 Hot Water Heater
Lights and applicances require 120 VAC. An electric water heater requires 240 VAC which is essentially two 120 VAC circuits combined. This means you have 2 "hot" wires instead of just one. Circuit breakers for 240 VAC have two wire connections, and a 120 VAC has just one. It is very likely that when your heater was connected, there was no regular 240 VAC breaker handy, but there were a couple of empty 120 VAC breakers. The person doing the connection simply connected one hot lead to each breaker and Voila! there was 240 VAC. Nothing terribly wrong about that, but it can be a tad confusing especially if these breaker are separated in the panel and not marked. Look at the water heater's wires, and note the colors. If the proper 240 VAC wire was used, there will be 3 or 4 wires, a black, a red, a green, and possibly a bare copper. Black and Red are hot, green is ground and the bare copper is an additional ground. If regular 12/2 wire was used (Black, White, Bare) Bothe the black and white are hot, and the white should be marked with black paint or tape to indicate that it is hot. The bare copper is ground. Now look at the where the wires connect to the breakers in the panel. (you have to take that outer cover off) Understand that only "hot" wires are connected to the actual breakers. You will find one breaker with the same odd color as was found at the heater. That will be one hot wire. The second hot wire will be a black wire, and you'll just have to flip breakers until you locate it's breaker. With luck, that may be the one you already have found. Even if the two 120 VAC breakers are separated in the panel, they are working OK, so leave them alone, just label them. NOTE: Of course always work carefully, but especially with 240 VAC. 120 VAC will jolt you pretty good, but 240 VAC does serious damage to a body.

GDB 52: Moving in Different Directions
Jonathan Willis
February 07 2009 10:44AM
With Lubomir Visnovsky already injured, and Tom Gilbert likely out after getting hurt against St. Louis, the Oilers have recalled their best AHL prospect, defenseman Theo Peckham. Peckham has two NHL games to his credit, one against Columbus at the tail end of last season, and one against Pittsburgh earlier this year.
J-F Jacques is once again ready to play, so he takes up a roster spot while on his two-week conditioning stint with Springfield. His activation and the recall of Peckham necessitated sending down Ryan Potulny.
Also injured for the game against Detroit this afternoon is Shawn Horcoff, the only centre on the team with more than two seasons of NHL experience. With him out, the top line spot between Penner and Hemsky needed filling, something Kyle Brodziak did for the end of the St. Louis game. Craig MacTavish's comments before the game indicated that he was likely to leave Brodziak in that spot, at least to begin with.
It's an opportunity for Brodziak (the first words out of Brodziak's mouth when asked were "It's a big opportunity for me"). I've commented before on how he's been used this season, but it's worth repeating. For the vast majority of the year, he's been saddled with inferior linemates (MacIntyre, Stortini, etc.) but that's only part of the problem. Brodziak's been starting in the defensive zone more than any other player on the team. Of his 314 non-neutral zone draws, 219 of them have been in the defensive end. That means that he's had 124 more defensive zone draws than offensive zone draws; the next nearest Oiler is Shawn Horcoff with 86. No other player on the team has more than 40.
It's a measure of the trust that MacTavish has in those two players that they are his go-to guys for defensive zone faceoffs.
Checking in on the other end of the blender, Marc Pouliot will centre Steve MacIntyre (asked about MacIntyre playing against Detroit, MacTavish said "we don't have anyone else") and Zach Stortini on the fourth line tonight, and MacTavish hinted that he didn't trust them to play much at all against Detroit, saying that they'd likely sub in on other lines. After saying that he didn't like Pouliot at centre, MacTavish expanded that he felt Pouliot, for all his improvements 'needed something he can provide every night, whether it be a better defensive game, a more physical game, or more consistent offensive contribution'. He summed up by saying that while Pouliot was improving, but that his game on a whole was "vanilla".
The bottom line though is that this Edmonton Oilers team isn't at nearly the same level of the Red Wings when healthy, and they aren't close to that tonight.
On the Red Wings front, significant players in Tomas Holmstron (groin) and Brad Stuart (ribs) won't be playing this afternoon. Marian Hossa, who turned down a massive contract from the Oilers this off-season, is leading the Red Wings in goals (28) and comes to town amid rumours that he and fellow pending unrestricted free agent Johan Franzen are negotiating extensions with the Wings. The real news is that the Red Wings are hoping to sign the two "for a package price of around US$10-million per season." The other thing worth noting is that Albertan Chris Osgood, suffering through a poor season, is not expected to start tonight, making room for ex-Oiler Ty Conklin, who has been very good over the past two seasons.
Because I'm incapable of predicting an Oilers loss, I'm going to call it a 3-2 win with Kyle Brodziak leading the way offensively and Dwayne Roloson making 436 saves (give or take 5). Chime in with your predictions below.
February 07 2009, 11:01AM
~reaches for blindfold and cigarette~
4-2 Oil, Souray, Cogs, Brodz, Penner with an EN
oh, and I still believe in the beer fairy, too
February 07 2009, 11:12AM
3-2 Oil, Roli with an assist.
Could be ugly. But, we do usually play Detroit tough.
5 - 2 for the MIGHTY OIL
February 07 2009, 11:13AM
This could be flat out ugly for the Oil. The upside is that the Wings aren't exactly lighting the league on fire right now going 4-4-2 and their last 10.
Here's hoping for a 4-3 Oil win. But that's more goals than we've scored total in the last week so I might be aiming a little high.
I'm a believer in the power of negativity.
6-3 Detroit
Gilbert's in tonight according to the Oilers site.
5-4 Oilers.
February 07 2009, 11:23AM
@ Wej:
Gilbert's "likely", but thanks for the update. IT sounded like he was out when I went over there this morning.
This is good - maybe Strudwick can play 4LW, and MacIntyre can sit this one out.
February 07 2009, 11:43AM
Detroit 6 - Oilers 2, if they're lucky!
Sorry, Oilers fans. Now, maybe if we were playing our best players such as Brule and Schremp up with the big team we would have more of a chance...
Who gives us a better chance of scoring - Brule, or Reddox (nothing personal, but he is a no talent guy).
Watching nervously, hoping the Oiles will shock us all,
Doggie-Style D.
4-2 Wings, sadly. (Prove me wrong Oilers!)
Is it noon or 1pm start?
February 07 2009, 11:52AM
@ doggie-style D:
The most frustrating thing is the way the Oilers "planned" on handling Brule this year??
They had a plan that he would spend the year in Springfield to try and "rebuild" his confidence???
How is watching Tim Sestito and Liam Reddox get called up helping his confidence?
Brule totally out played Pouliot in training camp and should have been here to start the season.
Brule has more NHL games played that a lot of our young talent. Let him stay here and learn the game at this level. I hardly think he has anything to learn at the AHL level.
The fact that they want to keep him down to avoid him reaching his 160 NHL games(waiver requirements) is laughable.
Do they not realize he will be in the exact same situation next year?
The only thing they have accomplished this year is forcing Brule to be a part of a total disaster down in Springfield.
I am sure he will be a much better player to start the season next year because of it.......YEAH RIGHT!!!!!
@ doggie-style D: Don't be surprised if the Oilers mount a late rally and come from behind.
February 07 2009, 12:02PM
Feeling pessimistic today. One of two straight matinees, three top players injured, the Red Wings looking for blood...
Sounds like it's gonna be a recap of the NYR - Dallas game last night. We hold them to something respectable until the third period, and then *game over*.
Oh, I hope I'm wrong...I hope I'm overly-pessimistic...
February 07 2009, 12:04PM
Regarding Brule:
Columbus atrociously mismanaged Brule - they turned a guy who scored nearly a goal per game (not point per game, goal per game) in his final junior season into a fourth line plugger. They did it by playing him before he was ready, which resulted in a nasty series of injuries, and then by continually throwing him into 4th line NHL situations rather than letting him play an offensive role in the AHL. While doing it they used up nearly all of his waiver eligibility.
At this point, I think he's better off playing offensive minutes in the AHL than defensive minutes in the NHL - so if they leave him there for a bit for his long-term development, I'm OK with it.
Regarding Schremp:
He doesn't deserve to be on the team. There's a case to be made for, say, Ryan Potulny over Reddox, but until Schremp can consistently score in the AHL he doesn't deserve to be in the conversation.
February 07 2009, 12:07PM
I had a dream last night.
Souray scored 4 goals. The oilers won 4-2....
I hope that my dream comes true.....
But in the dream I was also playing for the Oilers....so yeah....sad isn't it?
I wonder if Gregor is auditioning to be a Radio personality out in T.O? Gregor on the national stage? As much as it would suck to lose him locally, having a national Oilers booster would be wicked.
February 07 2009, 12:11PM
Someone in the know be straight with me - Reddox is part of the Make A Wish Foundation right? And not on the usual side of the Foundation as most NHLers either...
Poor little fella, I just hope he's not suffering...
February 07 2009, 12:11PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
Hey Jonathan, you have probably answered this before but is there any relation to you and Springfield Falcon Shane Willis?
I was also wondering if you had any insight into the problems of the Falcons this season. Are they really a brutal team? Or are they suffering from MacT-itis? Or it's less toxic form Truit-alitosis? Or is just because they lost Wunderkind Liam Reddox?
Thats a ton of questions for a saturday morning. Sorry.

February 07 2009, 12:31PM
@ Fiveandagame:
No relation.
As for Springfield, a lot of the problems seem to stem from bad coaching decisions. Running Dubnyk into the ground, (whether he wants to be or not, playing him for all three games in three nights is stupid) strange decisions on personnel have really hurt the team.
Plus, they've had a lack of forwards that's only recently started to be addressed (Willis, Stone).
Honestly though, a change in coach could be huge. Stockton was really struggling, but now they're three points out of first and Andrew Perugini's won seven games in a row under the new coach.

BAHAHA Laughing my ass off!
Gilbert just confirmed he's playing - hopefully he doesn't injure it further by playing.
February 07 2009, 12:36PM
@ Wej:
Yeah - if he's risking re-injury, I'd rather have him sit out another game and get closer to 100%.
Of course, they didn't do that with Stoll, and that turned out just fine... wait a second.
February 07 2009, 12:43PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
The alarm bells were really going off when the owner sent that open letter to the fans apologizing for the team...wow.
Not that the farm team is the perfect barometer for the parent club, but I think ideally you'd want to develop players in a culture of winning.
I have wondered why the Oilers don't put their farm team in Edmonton. I guess it would be travel costs, but you'd be developing the players in the NHL city. Call ups would be a breeze and you could share practice and workout facilities. The players themselves would have the support of the community.
I hate the fact that Springfield wreaks if mismanagement...
February 07 2009, 12:48PM
Yeah I called a 3-2 win in the other thread. Now that we've repeated the same bet the Gods of the Hockey Universe will smite us.
I hope DesLauriers starts in net.

Nice coverage POOOOOHHHHLIOT!!!Dumbass
Why in the **** is Pouliot on this team? The guy simply SUCKS. I would rather have Brule or Potulny on the fourth line than that waste of a draft pick.
He must be another player that has that pic of MacT and the donkey in Mexico.
February 07 2009, 01:17PM
This is a promising start, isn't it?
This is the kind of game you start Deslauriers in because Roli needs a break at some point, and the odds are pretty ugly.
February 07 2009, 01:17PM
@ Wej:
MacTavish really doesn't like Pouliot. Check out his pre-game comments if you don't believe me.
Gagner needs to bury that.
I take back my earlier prediction...
12-1 Wings.
Conklin scores on himself.
what in the hell.
@ Jonathan Willis:
Then why is he in the lineup?
Man... we're awesome.
What a joke. I might as well start drinking. Here comes another blowout.
February 07 2009, 01:20PM
I'm trying to decide who to blame for that. Ugly.

Where is the defensive coverage...someone pick up his stick at least.
February 07 2009, 01:20PM
what happens if we get blown out again? Please tell me someone will get fired...
Can't blame roli for that...
Any one have the wings at -1.5? I still cant bring myself to bet on Oilers games but its getting pretty close. I had a feeling Detriot was going to route.

"Bought this pair for my dad and he loves the unique gray color. It's darker in person so it matches with most of his attires. These shoes run 1 size larger. I ordered it in his real size so he wears this pair with a cushioned insert and it fits perfectly. Very comfortable, almost like his sneakers, but a tad more formal. :)"

Unison supplies all-electric tube bending machine to Boeing
Unison, located in Scarsborough, U.K., has supplied a second all-electric tube bending machine to Boeing Integrated Defense Systems.
The Breeze 20 system can make precision bends on alloy and aluminum tubes with diameters of up to 3/4 in. It was shipped in mid-July and installed at Boeing's rotorcraft manufacturing facility near Philadelphia. The system is used to fabricate hydraulic and fuel line components for CH/MH-47 Chinook helicopters, as well as for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
The bending machine design allows it to shape tubes with complex bends and very short distances between bends in one automated operation.

If you own shares in the French REIT Gecina SA (GFC) and are wondering about the stock's recent weakness, the reason appears to be Vanguard Group.
Markit analysts identified Gecina as a stock likely to come under selling pressure in connection with Vanguard's shift of more than half a trillion of index-fund assets to new benchmarks. Indeed, the stock already looks like it's seen an impact. Shares lost close to 5% in the few days after the fund providers' index-switching announcement. (Read last week's coverage of the indexing shakeup here.)
The analysts estimate that Vanguard will have to sell off about 1.3% of Gecina's freely traded shares as it aligns its index funds with FTSE Group benchmarks.
Two other stocks requiring notable sales include Samsung Electronics (005930.S, SSNLF) and Hyundai Motor (005380.S, HYMLY). Vanguard will need to sell about $2.3 billion and $610 million of those stocks, respectively, by Markit's figures.

Not pretty
Mileage: 38.2
July mileage: 244.2
Temperature upon departure: 51
The day started out so well. Drizzling rain tapered off early. I rode a light tailwind out to the valley and managed some strong intervals on the Glacier spur road. Mileage increased rapidly, and just as I was thinking "this whole summer cycling thing is way too easy," the brunt of the storm blew in.
It was the kind of storm that earns its own regional designation. I think in Juneau they're called "Taku Blasts" or something equally ominous. But no matter where you are, these storms always feel the same to a cyclist - headwinds that suck the air out of your lungs, sideways rain that could pierce a helmet, and an unexpected drop in temperature. I fought the storm like an outnumbered conquistador all the way home, knowing defeat was imminent because I was going to have to maintain my early pace just to make it to work on time.
Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror after a ride like this? I try not to, but it's like trying to look away when you pass a particularly disgusting lump of road kill. The bloodshot eyes caught my attention first - swollen and framed by dark shadows. My entire face was checkered with blotchy red patches and spatters of mud; wet hair clung to my forehead and dangled in snarled strands over my neck. To top it all off, I had a stream of snot oozing down my upper lip. I didn't even notice it before because my entire face was numb, like my hands, but I still know attractive when I see it.
I always wonder how much of this image lingers even after I'm showered and blow-dried and sitting at my desk in my khaki pants and turtleneck. Can my co-workers tell how I've spent my morning? Is it obvious to anyone that just an hour earlier, my face looked like a half-rotten salmon laboring for breath in the shallow end of a creek? I may never know.

If ever there was a Kodak moment...
And opportunity for a cool blog photo, btw ;-)
We have entered casually and have remained awhile, congratulations. Regards from Catalonia - SpainReplyDelete
What, no pictures of the patches, mud and snot? That way, we can verify if the image does in fact, linger! :^)ReplyDelete
More power to you for finishing the ride; I would have called for a sag.
Cool blog!ReplyDelete
I was wondering, would you please tell me how I can make my blog's archives look like yours? I would guess there's something I can paste into the template to organize it like that, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks, and keep up the good work. :-)

Yeah ... pictures.ReplyDelete
I am definitely not secure enough in my own self image to post such a ghastly self portrait on the World Wide Web. Yikes.
I don't know why the stays on my bike are shaped like that. I think it may have something to do with accomodating a bicycle rack, since it was marketed as a touring bike.
I think the stays are shaped that way to accomadate larger tires and to provide some "give" in the frame at the rear. That is the typical reason you see that in MTB and road bikes with carbon rear triangles.
Of course, I could be completely wrong too! :^)

Castle Dale City met in their March council meeting. Kerry Lake the planning and zoning administrator asked for the approval of the ordinance not to allow storage containers in Castle Dale. There is only one storage container of this type in use right now and that one will be grandfathered in. There are also some in use at a commercial business.
The council approved the hiring of two people to help during the summer months. Tyler Frisbee will be rehired for the summer he was also a worker last year. Ignacio K. Arrien will also be hired to mow.
Castle Dale City has plans for a Veteran's monument. They will order a granite slab and begin gathering the names of those who are buried in the Castle Dale Cemetery to go on the monument. It will be placed in the roundabout at the cemetery.
The Castle Dale youth council has been reorganized. The council will be sworn in at the April meeting. Kendra Young will be the mayor and Valerie Chynoweth will be the vice-mayor. The council will help with the Easter Egg hunt on April 16.
Valerie Chynoweth requested a donation to help with girl's state this year. The council will approve a donation next month and find service projects for the girl's state participants to help them earn some extra money.
Councilman Brad Giles wondered what the procedure is for a demolition. First you go to the city to get a demolition permit, then the property must be inspected for asbestos. All utilities must be shut-off to the site. The property owner pays all fees involved with inspection and permits.
Twice a year the fire department can use properties for fire fighter training.
The council discussed the possibility of water restrictions this year.
They will know more after Councilman Giles attends the Castle Valley Special Service District meeting next week. But, they said to expect water restrictions with possibly two or three days where watering will be allowed. The water is usually turned on around April 15.
Some residents are leaving their garbage cans on the road for too long. These residents will receive a copy of the tidy yard ordinance.
The council approved new firemen Shaun Price and Chris Sanchez. They have passed their 90 day probationary period. There is room for a few more volunteer firemen if any Castle Dale residents are interested.
The burn window has begun and you must print out a permit from the state office of environmental quality. It will run from March 1-May 30. Castle Dale City may cut-off the burning at any time if they determine conditions are too dry to safely burn. The fall burn window is Sept. 15-Nov. 15.
Castle Dale firefighters will participate in training in Huntington and also in Green River.
The flowers for the planters along main street have been ordered.
Councilman Joel Dorsch said councilmember Dixie Thompson asked him to bring up the possibility of holding a Castle Dale clean-up day. Participants would all come out on a specified day and help with cleaning up main street. Local youth groups could participate. The city could have roll-off dumpsters brought in to facilitate the clean-up.
The council will look at some dates for the event.
Castle Dale has a sink hole up 100 North.
The relocation of the Castle Dale sewer lagoons is on the medium term list for the Community Impact Board. It looks like the soonest that could happen would be 2020. In the winter the ponds ice over and that cuts off the oxygen to the ponds. The aerators also quit working in the winter. Now, the ice is off the pond, the aerators are working again, but the smell will be strong again when the ponds turn over. This happens in the spring and in the fall. One of the aerators needs new parts and they have been ordered. Giles said the CVSSD was very busy trying to eliminate the odor from the ponds.
Councilperson Julie Johansen reported they have a number of people who signed up to be CERT trained. There is a training in Price on March 22 that they can register to attend. There is no charge involved.
Weaver said a chairman needs to be elected for the CERT members. Margaret Keller would like to be on the beautification committee.
The fire department needs a new compressor to fill their personal oxygen tanks. There are sometimes grants available from FEMA to equip fire departments with what they need so Nosh Arrien will look into applying for a grant.
Mayor VanWagoner found a compressor for a better price and they will look into getting a new one. They will spend between $7,000-$10,000 to get what they need.
The newly formed Castle Dale economic development committee met with several attending and bringing forth ideas.
The printer in the office has quit working and Councilmember Dorsch will work on getting a new printer set-up for the office for approximately $300. This printer works mainly to print the water bills every other month.
Councilmember Giles said at the CVSSD meeting last month they approved the purchase of new membranes for the water treatment plant. It's $29,000 per skid and there are eight up there. In the past they have been patching them, but now they are losing capacity and must be changed.
Mayor VanWagoner has been talking to the architects about the new city hall and they will continue to have discussions on square footage and other related matters.
The next council meeting will be on April 10 at 7 p.m.

DTH van der Merwe has been named in Glasgow's starting line-up for Friday's PRO12 match against Scarlets at Scotstoun Stadium.
Winger DTH van der Merwe has been named in Glasgow's starting line-up for Friday's PRO12 match against Scarlets at at Scotstoun Stadium.
Scrum-half Chris Cusiter and fly-half Ruaridh Jackson will also be reunited at half-back in the other changes behind the scrum.
Up front there is an all-new front row in the shape of Ryan Grant, Pat MacArthur and Moray Low, while John Barclay comes in at openside flanker.
Friday's clash sees Glasgow throw open the doors of their new Scotstoun home for the first time, as the Warriors seek to bounce back from the disappointment of an 18-10 defeat to recent Heineken Cup finalists Ulster in Belfast last week.
"As ever, we've selected a team with one objective in mind: winning the match," said head coach Gregor Townsend.
"The quality and depth of our squad is reflected by the guys we're able to bring in this week, all of whom know they have to deliver with so many other players breathing down their necks.
"That's particularly the case in a position like wing. We're delighted to welcome back DTH van der Merwe, an experienced, quality campaigner coming into the side in a role where Tommy Seymour performed very well last week.
"Similarly in the front row, we're lucky to have a number of really good options.
"Ryan Grant and Moray Low both performed very well off the bench in Ulster, as did John Barclay, Chris Cusiter and Ruaridh Jackson, all of whom start this week.
"Ruaridh has applied himself excellently in training, working on various aspects of his game that will allow him to make even more of an impact.
"Duncan (Weir) wasn't helped last week by the indiscipline we showed, and we're well aware of how effective he can be when given a better platform.
"He and the other guys who will be on the bench come Friday have a massive role to play – we'll be looking to them to have a similar impact to that produced by the replacements who came on against Ulster."
Meanwhile, Welsh international Rhys Priestland starts at fly-half for Scarlets.
Up front captain and number eight Rob McCusker leads his side alongside Johnathan Edwards and Aaron Shingler in the back-row. Matthew Rees comes in at hooker with Rhodri Jones and Deacon Manu in the front-row.
Scarlets new forwards coach, Danny Wilson, said he was impressed with the early performance of his pack against Leinster last week; but said with just one game down, their feet were firmly on the ground and there was still plenty to work on.
"It was my first taste of what the boys could do in a competitive fixture against a Leinster pack made up of quality, experienced professionals and we were pleased with the performance – however it means nothing unless we back it up this weekend," he said.
"With a level of consistency in our game up front, we can unleash our back line and we saw at the weekend how very potent it is. There's some work to do with our scrum, but the line-out functioned well last weekend. We went into the game with a confidence and intent to put pressure on them up front and it went our way.
"There's a very strong work ethic and ambition in this Scarlets group and the boys know that there's plenty competition for places. We need to build continuity in our performance and there's a lot of that reflected in our selection this weekend but we also need to rotate some players to ensure we keep building our depth and give opportunities across our squad.
"There's a lot of rugby ahead of us so it's important we build a strong squad – as opposed to just a team."
Wilson said they had a big challenge ahead of them on Friday in Scotland.
"We've had a good look at the Warriors and their game last weekend, they were a very dogged side, and they'll put a lot of pressure on in the contact area. We know we'll have to be sharp this weekend – it's going to be a tough fixture as their opening game in the new home and they'll want to bounce back from their loss last weekend," he said.
"We are under no illusion as to what we are facing – they were a very strong side last season and reached the semi-finals just ahead of us by a couple of points. But we're confident in what we can bring, the players are gelling well and know they have to back up what they achieved last weekend."
Form: Glasgow tripped up 10-18 at Ulster in round one of the RaboDirect PRO12 – the Warriors also lost their opening two games of the 2011/12 season. The Warriors have lost just one of their last nine matches against the Welsh regions. Scarlets defeated Leinster 45-20 at Parc y Scarlets on Friday and are now unbeaten in their last four PRO12 encounters. Scarlets have lost on their last two visits to Scotland. Both clashes between the two sides last season were won by the home side on the day, whilst Scarlets have won just once in Glasgow on their last seven visits.
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 DTH van der Merwe, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Graeme Morrison, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Chris Cusiter, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 John Barclay, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock, 4 Tom Ryder, 3 Moray Low, 1 Ryan Grant, 2 Pat MacArthur.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Mike Cusack, 18 Gordon Reid, 19 James Eddie, 20 Chris Fusaro, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Peter Horne.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Tavis Knoyle, 8 Rob McCusker (c), 7 Johnathan Edwards, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Richard Kelly, 4 George Earle, 3 Deacon Manu, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Rhodri Jones.

Nice online, but Not Quite Right
"Me Too shoes do a great job of straddling the line between comfortable and fashionable. I had high hopes for this gladiator sandal. The inside was really comfortable with great overall support. I thought the rhinestones would add a little bit of an edge, but in person they just seem to cheapen the whole look of the shoe. In terms of fit, the length was fine (sz 7.5). However, the straps were way too loose around the top of my foot and the ankle (although I have skinny ankles, but my foot size is pretty average), making for an ill fitting sandal overall. Sorry, I'll be returning these."

"These shoes are very comfy. I have been wanting a gladiator shoe that has a thicker sole ( they are usually paper thin) and these are perfect. The ones I was finding that had a thick sole seemed to be for older women. These are fashionalbe and comfy!!!!!"

The Green River Community Center and Boy's and Girl's Club recently suffered a severe roof collapse. During heavy rains and wind, the ceiling in the hallway portion of the building collapsed under the weight. It has since been condemned due to the fact that asbestos in the ceiling tiles is not longer contained.
Blaine Evans approached the city council with a request for a donation of a parcel of property to be deeded to the community center to construct a new facility. He said most of the grants they will apply for require a parcel of land first. "We also feed 56 seniors everyday, along with the preschool and HeadStart," said Evans. "If the community center is forced to close, the community will lose many services. Our request is that the city council consider deeding a parcel of land so we can move forward with plans for a new community center. We are also requesting the council approach the Emery County commissioners to give us the old senior center for a temporary facility. We could possibly be in that building for four years," said Evans.
The council approved to deed property to the community center for construction of a new facility. They also approved to allow Mayor Pat Brady to submit a bid for the old senior center in Green River to be used for a temporary facility. The community center will be responsible for updating the structure to meet codes.
Wade Williams addressed the council concerning the garbage hauling contract with the city. His company has had the contract with the city for the past four years and it expired a month ago. He requested a new 10 year contract with a fuel surcharge which would be adjustable with the price of fuel.
Mayor Brady explained this was not an agenda item and the city could not act on this proposal. Councilman Dan Harrison asked if the city could award a contract without putting the contract out for bids. City recorder Conae Black explained that in the past no one has bid except City Sanitation and they could just extend his contract. Mayor Brady scheduled a special meeting to discuss this further and consider extending the contract with City Sanitation.
In other business conducted by the Green River City Council, a petition was accepted which was presented by Tom Burr and concerned city beautification and nuisance ordinances. Councilman Keith Brady informed the council that a new nuisance ordinance is almost ready to present for approval.
A curfew ordinance was approved for minors under the age of 18 in public places. This ordinance requires all minors under age 18, not be in any public places between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Sunday through Thursday nights. As for Friday and Saturday, the curfew hours will be midnight through 5 a.m. Any violation of this ordinance will be charged as a class B misdemeanor.
