Kurchatov's notes on his meeting with Stalin, Molotov and Beria. Stalin promises the all necessary help to the soviet effort to build an atomic bomb. He suggests that the project should be build on "a Russian scale," without concerns for cost saving."Notes on the discussion between I.V.

January 25, 1946
The conversation continued for approximately one hour, from 7:30 to 8:30 in the evening. Comrade Stalin, Comrade Molotov, and Comrade Beria attended.
Basic impressions of the conversation. The great love of Comrade Stalin for Russia and for V.I. Lenin, about whom he spoke in terms of his great hope for the development of science in our country. [...]
Viewing the future development of the work Comrade Stalin said that it is not worth spending time and effort on small-scale work, rather, it is necessary to conduct the work broadly, on a Russian scale, and that in this regard the broadest, utmost assistance will be provided.
Comrade Stalin said that it is not necessary to seek out the cheapest paths, ... that it is not necessary to carry out the work quickly and in vulgar fundamental forms.
Regarding the scholars, Comrade Stalin was preoccupied by thoughts of how to, as if, make it easier, help them in their material-living situation. And in prizes for great deeds, for example, on the solution to our problem. He said that our scholars are very modest, and they never notice that they live badly--that is bad in itself, and he said that although our state also had suffered much, we can always make it possible for several thousand persons to live well, and several thousand people better than very well, with their own dachas, so that they can relax, and with their own cars.
In work, Comrade Stalin said, it is necessary to move decisively, with the investment of a decisive quantity of resources, but in the basic directions.
It is also necessary to use Germany to the utmost; there, there are people, and equipment, and experience, and factories. Comrade Stalin asked about the work of German scholars and the benefits which they brought to us.
[. . .]
A question was asked about [physicists A.F.] Ioffe, [A.I.] Alikhanov, [P.L.] Kapitsa, and [S.I.] Vavilov, and the utility of Kapitsa's work.
Misgivings were expressed regarding who they work for and what their activity is directed toward--for the benefit of the Motherland or not.
It was suggested that measures which would be necessary in order to speed up work, everything that is necessary, should be written down. What other scholars would it make sense to bring into the effort?

Capt. Steve's ReportThe Bayliner 285 is not a new boat, but for this model year it's been redesigned. Bayliner went back to the drawing board and made a couple of key changes. First, they moved the salon's aft bulkhead forward, which added more room to the cockpit. A few minor changes to the hull configuration and we have a tad less length (from 28'9"/8.75 m to 28'7"/8.71 m), a touch more breadth (from 9'10"/2.99 m to 9'11"/3.05 m), fuel capacity dropped from 102 gallons (386 L) to 89 gallons (473.2 L), draft increased from 3'1" (.94 m) to 3'3" (.99 m), and a beefier hull to increase the dry weight from 7,266 lbs (3,296 kg) to 8,056 lbs (3,654.1 kg). Added a second engine? Not on the list. Great... a 28'6.5" (8.70 m) boat with a single engine. Let me guess, it'll handle like a truck and dock like a sailboat. Been there, done that. At least I'll get to report on the layout. The cockpit seating allows the guests to face each other for conversation; a pedestal table stores under the manually opening engine hatch. The aft facing seat has storage for a carry-on cooler. The LayoutActually, the layout has a lot going for it. Our test boat had the optional extended swim platform which added enough room for plopping a tender or PWC on the aft deck. The transom door was on the port side, as was the integral boarding step into the cockpit. The starboard side had seating, so from a fixed dock you'll want to be port side to. The transom door had a full length S/S piano hinge to one side and a full length integral notch in the transom that prevented the door from opening outward, even when throwing my full weight against it simulating a trip and fall. No worries there. A hot and cold shower is also recessed into the doorway. Note the wide passageway through the windshield. Normally I complain about the size of the entrance to Bayliner engine compartments, but not so here. I found plenty of access room and once inside, room to get all around for daily checks and preventive maintenance. Our test boat has an optional refrigerator/freezer under the cockpit sink. Moving forward, a port side lounger allows for seating sideways to face the captain, or aft to watch the world go by. The helm seat was double wide with a single flip-up bolster for the captain. I found this bolster difficult to operate, and the molded composite that the seat was mounted to, stuck out into the backs of my legs as did the slider adjustment. So naturally, I'd like to see the mount modified a bit, and the seat adjustment moved to the side. As you can see the throttle is at the proper arm's length from the skipper when standing.The helm was textbook Bayliner with full instrumentation and one empty space allowing for the installation of the optional depth gauge. Below the instrument cluster was plenty of space for an 8" nav display. To the right was the joystick for the optional bow thruster. To activate the electric thruster, push and hold the button, while simultaneously moving the joystick to the side. A triple beep let's you know it's ready to go. Leave it for 10 minutes and it shuts itself off with two series of triple beeps, the first set to presumably warn you of the impending shutdown. We would add 20' of chain to this ground tackle before going to rope. In dining mode... AccommodationsMoving down below I was met with an optional teak and holly sole, galley to port and dinette to starboard. Our test boat had a Corian countertop, but Formica is standard. To starboard of the companionway is the wet-head and to port another door that I assumed would be a locker. Not so, it was access to the private aft cabin. Even on much larger and more expensive cruisers, this is usually only a curtain. Entering the aft cabin there is storage directly in front, and the ship's electrical panel. Headroom is 5'9". You then kneel to access the berth with 3'3" of headroom, and when lying down, from your chest to the foot of the berth features 2'1" of overhead. The berth itself measures 6'5"x4'3". In sleeping mode... The mid (or aft) cabin is a sleeping or storage space. PerformanceI was surprised to find the Bayliner 285 was not a bad performer even with a single engine. With full fuel our test weight was 8,751 lbs and we were powered with the standard 300hp 350 MAG MerCruiser. Ambient temps were hovering around the 75-degree mark and relative humidity was 85% (you heard me). Top speed was found to be a comfortable 38.6 mph reached at 5120 rpm. Pulled back to a best cruise of 4000 rpm showed a 27.1 mph speed while burning 12.1 gph for a range of 179 miles with a 10% reserve. Not too shabby at all. Time to plane was 7 seconds and time to 30 mph was 16.4 seconds. HandlingDriving the 285 was not a hard task. Bow rise was modest so don't be afraid to push the throttle forward to get up on plane as soon as possible, or stand-up to maintain forward visibility. I took a shot at the trim tabs to lower the bow at cruise and was met with a significant decrease in speed. You'll want to leave the tabs up for cruise. The view while sitting on the bolster had me looking straight at the windshield frame. Putting the bolster down was the way to go as I was then looking right out the windshield. The best visibility was standing, of course. When turning to port, be sure to look behind you first to be sure the area is clear. The 285 leans about 10-degrees into the turn and if you have the bimini up, as I did (c'mon, I'm Irish and we were a mile from the sun) visibility is blocked. Turns to starboard are a non-issue. Back to the trim tabs. I didn't need them for cruise, but I did for countering distribution of weight. Every time our portly cameraman moved from one side to the other, I found myself chasing level with the tabs. It was elusive, but only because I had our inclinometer stuck to the dash. Without it, it probably wouldn't have been so bad. DockingWell, handling during cruise passed the single engine muster -- now for docking. With the camera rolling to record my sins, I set about to dock in all sorts of scenarios: bow in, stern in, port side to, starboard side to... let the chips fall where they may. To my pleasant surprise, this was the easiest handling boat I've ever docked, this side of joystick control. That's saying a lot coming from a BoatTEST captain but I kid you not. I had the 285 doing ballet between two finger piers and never touched the dock harder than I wanted and could have stepped off to tie her up myself. I even had her moving sideways. It was poetry. Then, as if to add frosting to the cake, when adding the bow thruster you would swear the 285 was a pod drive. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean. If you have any hesitation or self doubt that this is will be a difficult boat to handle at the dock, watch the video. If you think that a single engine will be problematic for you to dock, watch the video. If you think that this boat isn't worth the effort with a single engine, watch the video. At the end of the day, any misgivings I had about the performance and handling of the Bayliner 285 were out the window. Bayliner targeted the customer who doesn't want the expense or complication of twin engines while still enabling him or her to buy a capable cruiser, and from what I've seen, Bayliner nailed it.

Portland Metro South tennis players join this group and introduce yourself to meet partners and be found by others. Everyone welcome!
Location: Tualatin, Oregon
Members: 23
Latest Activity: Apr 27
Hi ...I am seeking tennis players for singles in Lake Oswego/Tualatin area. I am 3.0 player and would like to hit around for an hour or two during weekends. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Charlie, Thanks for trying to get the group going. I just promoted you to Admin and will send you a message.
Thanks! M
A week ago I requested that this group's leader (?) send me a message letting me know exactly when and where the members were meeting over the weekend. I never got a response, but I thought I'd try one more time - even though this weekend the rain is supposed to return. -Some one?, anyone? ...Beuhler?
Wow, guess it's been a while since I checked out tennisopolis. I lost interest because there weren't any groups close enough to join and I still don't know if there are any lighted courts (except at the high schools) for public use.
I enquired about the possibility of a Lake O./West Linn group forming ...Now, badda boom, badda bing - here you are. lol
Maybe you could let me know specifically when the group is meeting this weekend and where? - Thanks
Hi, Dave. We have a group of about a dozen people who play singels and doubles in Lake Oswego most every dry weekend. Email me if your interested:
[edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request]
Looks like last comment was January 24th, 2012. Is anyone playing tennis out there? Summer is here and I'm itching to hit and play a few matches. Singles, doubles (mixed or mens), or just work out. Need to get back into tourney shape......
Much appreciated Mark.
there is a bullet board at the LO indoor court that looked like there were a couple 4.0 looking for game. I would suggest stopping by and checking the board.
Looking for a 4+ tennis player. Need the exercise. I am in Wilsonville and want to play indoor courts. Maybe LO indoor courts? Suggests welcome.
looks like there are a lot of old post? is this group still active? Mark

Mediation ordered in civil suits against former Sulligent High coach
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 12:16 a.m.
OXFORD, Miss. | Federal judges have ordered mediation in two civil lawsuits alleging that a former Sulligent High School football coach molested boys in Mississippi.
The two alleged victims who filed the lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Oxford are now adults. They say Dwight Bowling molested them while they were students at Smithville High School in Mississippi. The defendants include Bowling and the Monroe County, Miss., School District.
Bowling coached for 28 years at Smithville before retiring and coaching at Sulligent High. The molestation alleged in the lawsuits is said to have happened between 2004 and 2010.
Bowling, 58, pleaded guilty in 2011 to numerous state and federal charges related to sex acts with boys. He was sentenced in federal court to 25 years. In state court, he was sentenced to 35 years.
Bowling is in a federal prison in Virginia.
Bowling was coaching for Sulligent when he was arrested in September in Mississippi on his way home from a football game. Authorities said a 13-year-old boy who was with Bowling at the time of his arrest accused him of improper touching.

text: Packers President Mark Murphy cast a "Yay" vote on the NFL's new overtime rules at the league meetings in Orlando on Tuesday. It was overwhelmingly approved 28-4. The rules now state that if the team that wins the overtime coin toss settles for a field goal, the opposing team will have a chance on offense to tie or win the game. Any touchdown scored will also end the contest and if both teams kick field goals, the overtime reverts back to sudden death. The league calls the change "modified sudden death" and for now, applies only to post-season games. Murphy and head coach Mike McCarthy believe the rule should also be imposed for regular season overtime games and the league may take that up in meetings scheduled in May. Interesting to see the Vikings among the 4 teams that voted no. They were bounced out by the Saints in the NFC Divisional round in January when the Saints won the flip and advanced to the conference championship by kicking a field goal in overtime. The Bengals, Bills and Ravens were the other teams to turn down the plan. New overtime rules weren't the only topic of discussion at the meetings which conclude today. Murphy serves on the league's Management Council Executive Committee and there was plenty of talk about the current labor situation. Already into an uncapped year and 11 months away from an expiring collective bargaining agreement, Murphy said the owners and players association have to find some common ground on a new CBA and the return of a salary cap will help the Packers stay competitive.

Who pays for heavy road use?
The Town of Dryden held an informational meeting last night on a proposed Road Protection law. I went feeling uncertain about whether we actually needed a law - fracking seems distant at the moment - and came away convinced by the law's opponents that we could have used this all along.
While road failure often looks like a seasonal thing, with potholes appearing in late winter and spring, the reality is more complicated. Heavy vehicles do vastly more damage to roads than light ones, and road failures can happen quickly once a threshold is reached. The invisible tends to become visible suddenly. While towns plan their road systems around expectations of use, unexpected projects can pound those roads into expensive collapse.
Fracking has driven the road protection conversation over the last few years, including many places that eagerly want fracking but don't want to pay for the damage to their roads. These laws don't bar development, but they do make sure that developers pay for the unusual costs they incur. (Locally, DRAC has encouraged this conversation and many DRAC folks were at the meeting last night.)
Steve Sanyshyn of Delta Engineering explained the way the road protection law worked in detail. Developers - not truckers, developers - with projects that will put a substantial number of trucks in motion fill out an initial form when they get their permits. The form collects information about the number of round trips broken down by Federal Highway Administration vehicle classifications (here with pictures). It then uses those calculations, combined with a rough estimation of Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESALs) to see if the project crosses a threshold requiring a closer look.
The suggested threshold was 50 ESALs, which allows pretty much any number of small (pickup truck and smaller) vehicles or up to 119 three-axle class 6 trucks, like dump trucks.
Projects that cross that threshold get a more detailed look. That look can include road studies, monitoring, and agreements to make sure that the developer pays repair costs, not the town.
This only applies to construction projects with a start and end date, whether building construction, fracking, or, as seemed to come up most frequently when real projects came up, large-scale fill hauling. Regular operations of school buses, fire trucks, concrete plants, gravel mines, and so on would go on as usual, because they are regular use that the Town has already planned for. Normal house construction won't come near the threshold. The road protection would only apply in cases where projects created large temporary spikes of traffic on Town roads. (Town roads are those marked in green on the official Town map.)
Bruno Schickel, Bernie Cornelius, Dennis Mix, and David Bravo-Cullen all asked a variety of questions about the intent and details of the law. Some of the questions - Bravo-Cullen's in particular - were clarifying, but a lot of it was not. Two threads in particular seemed like they were looking for any point on which to attack the law, even if it meant contradicting their other arguments:
Raising taxes would be terrible, but even though roads are the largest chunk of the Town budget, it would also be terrible to inflict use fees on the people making those road repairs necessary.
A complicated form would be dreadful, but without a complicated form you can't possibly capture what's really happening in the work.
The first argument has the unfortunate side effect of reminding me of how much of our town (and county and state) taxes go to pay for roads that would last far longer if there weren't massive trucks on them. At the town level, where gasoline taxes aren't a factor, a system originally created to make sure farmers could get from their farms to markets has grown into something else. Right now, all town taxpayers are subsidizing dump trucks pouring fill into the town for little long-term benefit, any time those trucks use town roads.
Of course, about the rudest thing possible in modern politics is pointing out to someone complaining about taxes that they're actually the beneficiary of massive subsidies, and I don't think Bernie Cornelius is fond of me at the moment.
(To take it further, the largest producer of construction fill is usually Cornell, with their Synchrotron expansion project gearing up to create many many more tons of fill. After hearing years of complaints about how Cornell doesn't pay taxes, I'm not sure Dryden taxpayers are looking forward to subsidizing Cornell's latest ventures in fill.)
Dennis Mix and Bruno Schickel pursued the complication questions, arguing both that the form was too complicated and that it didn't capture enough information. Highway engineers seem to think in ESALs, and ESALs are built deeply into the expectations for road design and maintenance, so questioning their use to simplify the initial paperwork seems strange. The other options would be massive paperwork or some kind of surveillance, and I didn't see anyone eager to encourage those.
Schickel concluded by asking that the threshold be set as high as possible, and I suspect that "what threshold?" is going to be the key question moving forward with the law. Sanyshyn suggested 50 ESALs as normal, and mentioned a Town that thought its roads were in great shape had gone with 70.
There are other hard questions in the road protection law - projects in other municipalities or even other states that create traffic here can be difficult to track. Cooperating with other municipalities can capture a lot of that, and "have the highway crews keep an eye out" was Sanyshyn's suggestion. Enforcement on projects that aren't immediately local is going to be difficult. (I suspect that's a larger problem for county roads which tend to connect better, than for the Town roads. The county has its own road protection law.)
Hopefully road protection will protect taxpayers.

Mount Pleasant Road intersection dangerous
The Journal has an excellent long piece up on the dangers of rural roads. I'm not surprised to find a nearby intersection (I drove through it yesterday!) heading the list for severe accidents:
East of Cornell University's sprawl and just south of Fall Creek's meandering waters, the intersection of Mount Pleasant Road and Turkey Hill Road sits at a foot of hills extending east toward Route 38.
Varna Fire Chief Roy Rizzo and his firefighters know the country crossroads well.
He wasn't surprised to hear that the intersection -- which is just a mile and a half from the Varna Fire Station -- has seen the most severe accidents of any in the county, according to Ithaca-Tompkins Transportation Council data....
Like all the surrounding roads, Mount Pleasant Road and Turkey Hill Road hug the grades and terraces of the hills. From Route 366, Mount Pleasant Road rises steeply, crosses Turkey Hill Road between two of its curves, and keeps going up.
The curves -- which lie less than 500 feet on the north and south side of the intersection-- create blind spots for drivers, Rizzo said.
"People coming in both directions need to slow down," Rizzo advised.
In his experience, most of the accidents at this intersection don't involve local residents, Rizzo said. He feels these residents have respect for the intersection.
Sadly, Mount Pleasant's intersection with 366 isn't much better, but at least traffic is (usually) moving slower there. The 13/366 intersection to my east isn't much better, either. I wish they'd posted the list of intersections, but this is a great piece overall.

Appellate Division rules Dryden opinion matters
Last week, a panel of judges from the New York State Appellate Division, Third Department, ruled unanimously that Dryden can ban gas drilling through zoning. The gas companies can still appeal to New York's highest court, but because the decision was unanimously against them they have to ask permission.
The key part of this case, to me, is that the gas industry and its supporters have pushed regularly to keep decision-making as far away as possible from the people who would feel the effects of their operations. New York State might not be as eager to extract every drop as, say, Pennsylvania or Texas, but state government is (for example) far more eager to do that than many places.
What is the gas industry afraid of?
They're afraid of places like Dryden:
where 1594 people - more than 10% of the population - signed a petition requesting a ban.
Where residents mapped the leases gas companies had managed to secure quietly, reassuring residents individually that it would all be all right, and figured out the bigger picture.
Where residents knew better than to take seriously Henry Kramer's claims that Dryden would have to pay out massive fees and settlements over gas company lawsuits.
Where hundreds of people turned out to discuss the issue at forums and meetings.
Where the Town Board, including members from multiple political parties, voted unanimously in favor of a ban.
Where residents voted overwhelmingly to support a Town Board that would keep the fracking ban in place.
I went up to Albany to see the oral arguments on the appeal, and there was a moment that really summed it up for me. Judge Peters, the presiding judge, asked attorney Tom West:
Here at page 7 you state that "indeed if municipal prohibitions are allowed, no prudent speculator will ever invest because it will subject to the fickle whim of municipal officials." Are town boards fickle?
West: That was written in response to a landfill case I have where the board has flipped 3-2 over several years and several elections....
Peters: Isn't that the voters' prerogative?
West: I shouldn't have said fickle.
West and his friends are all about creating a safe long-term environment for their investments, and can't imagine that local political conversations over a safe long-term environment for localities should be allowed to interfere with that. Fortunately, the court saw through that argument.
In an age when much of New York State politics is about insulating politicians from voters, it's delightful to see a court rule that Albany hasn't claimed all the power for itself. Voters' voices matter on the local level, and have power over issues that can transform the local landscape. Towns are a key middle ground between everyone doing what they want without regard for their neighbors and centralizing decision-making in Albany.
Update: Here's a state of play article looking at the interactions between state and local government and a variety of ways they could go.

Solarize, Wednesday at Varna Community Center
It's time for the second Dryden meeting, before the meetings shift to Caroline and Danby. You can, of course, go to any meeting to learn more, or visit the website.
Solarize Tompkins SE wants to bring many new solar photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal (hot water) installations to Caroline, Dryden, and Danby in 2013. Working with state and county organizations, area residents, and solar energy installers, this campaign will streamline the installation process, making a Solar Energy system easy and affordable. This program is open to residences, farmers, business owners, municipalities, and institutions.
The Solarize campaign will reduce costs and technical barriers by pre-selecting qualified installers, enrolling a group of motivated customers that will enable bulk purchasing discounts, and educate our neighbors about the benefits and feasibility of solar power.
Our first workshop (last Tuesday) was a big success. We learned about the Solarize program, heard informative presentations by Rory from Solar Liberty about solar electric systems and Joe from Renovus about solar hot water systems, and we had very good conversations about going solar with our full-house of interested friends and neighbors. If you missed the first, we're having five more. You only need attend one, but you're welcome to attend as many as you'd like!
Come learn the details of the program with Solarize Tompkins SE.
Varna Community Center, 943 Dryden Road (Route 366), 7:00pm, Wednesday, May 1st.
Kick the fossil fuel habit. Go solar in 2013!
For the complete schedule of public meetings see SolarizeTompkinsSE.org.
Solarize will have additional meetings in Caroline and Danby.

Malloryville bog book to be featured at Ithaca bookstore
I need to finish reading The Journey to Malloryville Bog and write a proper review. So far, so great, if distressingly familiar.
This Sunday, Apr. 28, at 3pm, Buffalo Street Books will be hosting a discussion with Bob Beck, the author of The Journey at Malloryville Bog: Commitment, Teamwork and Tenacity in Defense of Land and Nature.
Faithfully relating a fifteen-year story in first person--an environmental case study of sorts, fully documented with letters and memos of the many participants--this is the author's personal narrative of his home and the collective effort to protect his cherished land. Here is his account of glacier-formed eskers, kames and kettles, of diverse woodlands, swamps, fens and bog, of mining applications and recurring environmental reviews, of uncertainty and long struggle, and of diligence, awesome teamwork and phenomenal land deals. Ultimately, this is a story of conservation success, culminating in the establishment and dedication of The Nature Conservancy's magical and treasured O.D. von Engeln Preserve at Malloryville, located in the picturesque Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York.
Bob Beck was raised on a dairy farm in Upstate New York, and he has been a teacher of biology, animal behavior, natural history, and general science, having taught at Cornell, Ithaca College and Sarah Lawrence College, as well as for docents' training at the Bronx Zoo and for middle-school students at a Montessori school in Ithaca. Bob was was a curator at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Library of Natural Sounds, and he was a founding board member and the first executive director of the Finger Lakes Land Trust. For his efforts in organizing and leading the defense of Malloryville Bog, he was honored with The Nature Conservancy's "Friend of the Land" award and a 50th Anniversary "Hero" award.
I posted pictures from the bog a few years ago, with an extra few in winter. It's easily one of my favorite places in Dryden.

Cheesemaking in New York State
I've only made cheese once, but I need to do it again. This is a great reminder of how it grew from small to large and now has small again.
New York State Cheese: from Home Production to Factories
Cheese making and distinct cheese varieties are part of the cultural and historic fabric of societies in all parts of the world. Professor David Barbano, of Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, is a recognized authority on cheese making. He is a past president of the American Dairy Science Association and works with cheese makers all over the globe.
On Tuesday, April 30th, Dr. Barbano will be the guest speaker at a meeting of the Dryden Town Historical Society. He will provide an overview of cheese making and the evolution of cheese production from the farm house to small local factories to large regional factories and the artisan cheese makers of today. Cheese production once flourished in and around the Dryden area and it is making a comeback.
This meeting is free and open to all and will be held in the Dryden Village Hall (corner of George and South streets). The doors open at 6:30 PM and the meeting will begin at 7 PM. For more information, contact Mary Hornbuckle (898-3461).

Can't beat Martha, so hope to shout her out
The Ithaca Journal reports that Tompkins County GOP Chair James Drader is trying a new way to try to get County Legislator Martha Robertson out of office: issuing a press release demanding that she step down, immediately.
Running for Congress, apparently, is a full-time job that can't possibly go with the part-time job of County Legislator. Drader seems deeply concerned about time management.
Drader is far from the only one in this conversation, though.
Voters get to decide in November whether they want to have a legislator here who is also running for Congress. The early stages of a Congressional race aren't the final constant travel stage that Drader seems to think begins immediately. Robertson's announcing now rather than in, say, December, gives the voters a much greater chance to see how this goes now and make up their minds about it.
If Drader is seriously concerned that Robertson shouldn't be running for Congress while sitting on the County Legislature, all he has to do is find a candidate to run against her in November and win. Perhaps he's hoping that grouchy press releases will make that happen?
(I would be happy to see a Republican challenger here. Uncontested races depress me. I'm reasonably certain that not only would the challenger's odd of success be low, anything increasing voter turnout on the west side of Dryden will help Democrats hold the town board. I suspect Drader is well aware of that last issue.)

Gas pipeline through Dryden?
There already is one, as residents of Ellis Hollow Creek Road who drive by the E. H. Borger station know. There's also a line off that going to the Cornell heat and power plant. This would be a connection to the Cayuga Power Plant (formerly AES Cayuga, formerly Milliken Station) if it switches from coal to gas:
A proposed natural gas pipeline running through Tompkins County may become part of the uncertain future of Lansing's coal-fired power plant.
The pipeline would be built from the power plant, on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, to an existing pipeline in either Dryden or Auburn. The Dryden pipeline is at the Borger Station, 219 Ellis Hollow Creek Road.
The new pipeline is part of a plan that retrofits Cayuga Power Plant, formerly named AES Cayuga, to burn natural gas. The facility's name was changed after AES Eastern Energy went bankrupt and the power plant was bought by Upstate New York Power Producers.
One thing that's odd about this story is that the plant's owners say that there would be problems for electrical reliability in the county if the plant closed. NYSEG performed a major upgrade of its lines across Cortland County and Dryden into the Etna substation a few years ago that I had thought was meant to address just that problem. How did that fail?
The New York State Public Service Commission is requiring that NYSEG either upgrade its infrastructure or that the plant keep running, Goodenough said.
They're also planning on a 2-megawatt solar panel array. The article doesn't say how much power the plant itself generates.
More on Mount Varna Monday
Want to know more about the proposal for developing the northeast corner of the Freese Road / Route 366 intersection?
Developer Todd Fox will be presenting his current plans on Monday, April 8th at 6:00pm at the Varna Community Center, 943 Dryden Road.

Promotion on the cards for Sutton & Epsom but there is still work to do
9:30am Friday 22nd March 2013 in Other Rugby By Tim Ashton
Sutton & Epsom skipper Matt Whitaker is leading from the front in the team's final push for promotion from London Division Two South West.
The flanker bagged a hat-trick of tries on Saturday as Sutton beat London Cornish 50-15 at Rugby Lane.
The result means that, if Sutton secure bonus-point wins from their final three games, they are guaranteed a play-off spot.
However, with leaders Chobham only four points ahead and set to face third-placed Guildford on the final weekend of the season, there is an outside chance Whitaker could be hailing his side as champions.
He said: "It was good to get that hat-trick, but most important was getting the bonus-point win. We know that if we get bonus-point wins from the remaining games then we'll be in the play-offs.
"The ground conditions are improving too, which suits our style of play. We've scored some good team tries this year through fast-running rugby, and we're getting back to that.
"It has been noticeable in our performances of late, including last weekend."
Jack Wilson, Mike Cartledge, Shawn Renwick and Brendan Kipping got the tries that completed the rout over London Cornish, while Frankie Murray and Sam Hurley added 15 points with the boot.
Whitaker, in his first year as skipper, said: "The fact Chobham play Guildford on the last Saturday plays into our hands, but we cannot start thinking that far ahead.
"We need to think about our own game otherwise we risk losing and missing out on the play-offs. I cannot see either Guildford or Chobham slipping up until the final game when one or both of them will drop points."
Sutton travel to Teddington this weekend, before hosting Old Reigatian the weekend after.
They end the season, play-off pending, with a trip to Effingham & Leatherhead.

Ulster scrum-half Paul Marshall has called for a step up in performance ahead of Friday's clash with Munster at Ravenhill.
Marshall was Ulster's match winner in their 16-13 triumph over the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday after scoring the decisive try in the 75th minute to clinch a rare victory in Wales.
"It was a scrappy game and both teams didn't really play well," he said.
"We didn't threaten enough in attack but I thought we scrambled well in attack."
The half back's sharp reactions were the difference between the two sides but he was quick to praise his team-mates.
"I didn't have much to do for the try; I just squeezed over the line when John [Afoa] was brought down just short," he said.
"It was a good team try and it shows what we are capable of producing. We didn't play very well but I thought we showed great character in the second half and the most important thing is that we got the win and it keeps us on track."
Marshall, who was an unused member of the Ireland squad that toured New Zealand in June, underwent surgery on an elbow injury during the summer which has affected his pre-season preparations.
But he is feeling fit and is delighted to be back in action.
"Injury wise I feel good; my elbow isn't giving me much trouble at all," he revealed.
"It was good for me to get back on the pitch. I got 20 minutes last week and another 40 on Saturday night so it's good to catch up a bit with the players who have had more game time."
He admits Ulster will have to improve vastly if they are to beat Munster at Ravenhill on Friday evening.
"Next week will be a really tough encounter as all the inter-pros are.
"I'm assuming they will come up to Belfast with their full contingent of internationals and we will have a couple more back as well.
"We will have to be firing on all cylinders if we are to come away with another win, a performance like the one on Saturday night won't be good enough.
"It's our first inter-pro of the season so it's exciting for the fans, but also the players," said the 27-year-old.
With Connor Murray likely to line up for Munster, Marshall may get the ideal opportunity to stake his claim for a call up for the end-of-year internationals, but he insists his priority at this stage is getting in the Ulster team and is not worrying about Ireland selection.
"I'm expecting Conor Murray to play on Friday night and he's currently the number one scrum-half in Ireland so it will be a big test if I'm selected," he said.
"But the main thing for me is getting more game time with Ulster.
"Blane McIlroy and Michael Heaney have been playing well so my focus first and foremost is to fight for a place in the Ulster team."

Watching seeds sprout in preschool
A few months back, Tressa and I each filmed a video series for ehow.com on various preschool-related topics. The topics we were asked to do were based on what people were searching for on their site. We'll be sharing some of the video clips from time to time here on our blog.
The first one we wanted to share is appropriate for this time of year ... here in the Northeastern US, we are starting our season of planting! Weather is getting warmer ... hopefully no more frosty evenings! At our school we are doing a lot of planting now as we recently had some planter boxes built on our playground (this was a part of my son's Eagle Scout project ... yes, I'm a proud Mom!).
Above is a picture of my son with the finished planter boxes - one square for each of our preschool classes to use. We only just started the planting process ... so nothing is growing just yet!
So, outdoor planting is a great long-term project for children. It is one that takes a bit of time (and patience ... and dedication) to see the results. But often times, young children benefit from seeing a "faster" result in a short-term project. To that end, Tressa explains some preschool projects you can do with "fast-growing" seeds (that can be done INDOORS) in the video clip below. Enjoy!

In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.
After a lengthy pre-meeting workshop with Town Staff on the 2013 budget Monday night, the Board of Trustees (BOT) got off to a late start for their regularly scheduled meeting. Despite the delay, the Trustees and Staff were optimistic that they could wrap up the light agenda by 7:30 or 8 o'clock. However, with an agenda item concerning the compensation scale for Town of Lyons employees, it was not to be. Despite Mayor Julie Van Domelen's best efforts to keep things moving along, no one was able to make it home in time to enjoy the exciting finish of the Bronco/Charger Monday Night Football game.By Doug Carey

Dear Editor,
My public school education was in Colorado School District RE-1 several decades ago. One of the outstanding teachers that I had in high school periodically lectured on "sacred cows." I didn't do well in Mr. Bliss's classes, and I didn't appreciate him until much later in life.

24 Mar 2010 - 16:38You can still use the invert too. And look into stock class feeds if you wanna be a really agg pumper -
24 Mar 2010 - 16:32Ask for a straight trade for a pump for the blitz and keep the invert too unless you have a better loader. A good loader is a must have IMO. -
24 Mar 2010 - 16:29Look around on eBay and you can find some old prostocks and stuff like that for around $85. Then you can sell the pneus and pay for the pump kit with that cash. The check it is really nice, I was thinking it was in the $300's for some reason. My bad. If you've never owned a pump then I'd get a kaos pump just because there is a lot of stuff to mess on on autocockers and you already know blowbacks -
24 Mar 2010 - 16:11If your going for the check it I think you can get a pump just as good if you build it yourself for cheaper. The kaos pump is awesome too, but the pump handle is really small. you can't go wrong either way, but I'd just build one. Then you can use the extra money to customize it. -

I think you are half right, it protects trained people who stop to help as long as they are acting within the scope of their training. There is no law that says that you have to put yourself in danger to assist someone else. What kind of training have the people on the platform had in rescuing someone who has fallen on the tracks? It would have been very easy for one of them to fall in while trying to pull him out. How many times have you heard about somebody swimming in to rescue somebody that is drowning only to drown themselves?

the argument is that as long as you don't start the rescue attempt you aren't required to. he stated he started then stopped; that's what's not allowed. its usually in relation to performing CPR, but the argument (which would be a stretch) would be that he started the assistance then stopped to take the photo. that's heinous behavior.

Howard doesn't want to offend Non-Intact Americans.Why didn't Howard address this?
Howard's done some soul-searching and decided that they've been bullied enough. He's taking a stand.
You missed my point. Newcastlefan posted that if you are trained you have to assist somebody when they need help or you can be charged with violating the Good Samaritan Law. I was just stating that since, most likely, nobody there has been trained in rescuing somebody that fell in the path of a speeding train, they can not be charged. Never mind the fact that the Good Samaritian Law dosen't say that you have to do anything. It only offers legal protection if you choose to act and unintentionally make the situation worse. As I posted earlier, some reports said that people did try to pull him out but were unable to. Would you feel better if two or three more people were killed trying to rescue him?
