Dhaka, 07 November, Abnews : Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB) has disbursed around Tk 344.06 crore as loan to boost rural economy alongside employment generation in the country's northwest region in the first four months of this current 2013-14 fiscal. Of the disbursed loans, Tk 135.90 crore for crop production, Tk 2.73 crore for fisheries, Tk 21.09 crore for animal resources, Tk 1.09 crore for irrigation machineries, Tk 6.54 crore for agro- based industries, Tk 18.82 crore for SMEs, Tk 98.34 crore as cash credit, Tk 21.53 crore for poverty reduction and Tk 38.02 crore for different other need-based sectors. Side by side with the disbursement, the bank has also recovered Tk 399.87 crore and mobilized deposit worth Tk2,288.55 crore during the same time.
RAKUB Managing Director Mofazzal Hossain told abnews that the bank has set a target of disbursing Tk 1,450 crore as loan, recovery of Tk 1,500 crore including classified loan worth Tk 650 crore and deposit mobilization of Tk 3,000 crore in the current fiscal. He said the present government had earmarked the huge money for RAKUB for disbursing as crop and rural uplift loan only in the northwest Bangladesh during the current fiscal.
To build a poverty-free Bangladesh, he said the bank had enhanced its lending activities in multipurpose potential fields for boosting agriculture production, intensifying food security and flourishing poultry and dairy sectors to reduce protein deficiency. Production of pulse, oil-seed, maize and spice crops was brought under special credit programme at 4 percent interest rate to lessen the import pressure of the items.
Disadvantaged and underprivileged people in the region were brought under the financial inclusion programme. We have adopted special credit programme for encouraging the people for setting up solar power, biogas and waste management plant for generating eco-friendly and alternative power to face the power supply deficit, he said adding, Credit is being extended to the sector on a priority basis.
As the largest development partner in agriculture as well as agro-based industry sector of the region, currently the bank has adopted multipurpose development programmes, which are being implemented at the grassroots to make the credit programmes easier. Emphasis has been given on enhancing credit flow towards exploring the potential sectors of the region. Level best effort to ensure transparency and accountability in all the banking activities is continuing.
Apart from this, importance has been given to increasing relations between the bankers and the customers especially the rural farmers for boosting farm production, he added. More than 120 branches have, so far, been brought under automation and all the 371 branches will be brought under the modern system by 2014 through which the bank will be able to provide various modern banking services like online and SMS banking and ATM booths.

Talamona - Accademia
Talamona was born in the 70s thanks to Cesare Talamona, a well-known artisan from Oltrona (VA) who made -with his 'Pipatt'- the craftsmanship of Lake Varese known in the world.
Cesare immediately managed to impose the brand abroad by virtue of his creativity and for the generous dimensions of his pipes.
At the incredible age of 85, Cesare, convinced to procced with his work of "high Italian craftsmanship" thought to entrust the whole of his business to Paolo Croci. The very skilled man bought the brand in 2007 and from 2010 began a limited production of pieces respecting the will of Cesare Talamona. Even today the pipes are of high quality, entirely handmade and generous in size.
Today it is still possible to recognize the inspiration and the creative hand of Paolo in his Talamona pipes. As it was in the past for Cesare, it is today for Paolo "every pipe has a soul and who buys it finds itself".

Any major change in an office setting is bound to be met with some hesitation by employees. In today's corporate climate, you want to ensure that your team feels like they are included in any decision that affects the way they work. If you are starting to incorporate programs and furniture that lend themselves to a healthier workplace, the idea of a stylish sit-stand desk option for your employees is probably not news to you. However, remodeling your workspaces should be done with care to ensure your employees can get the most out of what you choose.
What's Your Style?
First thing is first - you need to determine what style is right for your office and employees. Do you want separate standing and seated workspaces for your team? Does a stylish sit-stand desk converter suit your needs or will your office require entire desk units to be able to move? Functionality should be the first indicator of the right style of sit stand desk options. After you have determined what you need your desks to do, you can look and the design and the aesthetic that best fits your business.
Location & Installation
When you are planning a more ergonomic office environment, you want to consider the requirements of the standing desks you choose. If you have community workspaces, you want to make sure there is plenty of room to adjust a stylish sit-stand desk between the seated and standing position. If your desks adjust manually, you won't have any power requirements, but electric standing desks will require access to outlets. All of these factors will play into the most effective location for installing your standing desks for your employees.
Adapting To A Stylish Sit-Stand Desk
Regardless of the style of the desk you choose for your business, there will most certainly be an adjustment period as your employees get used to the new capabilities. You may want to consider introducing your standing desks with a brief 101 course to help your employees learn how to get the most out of the new office environment. Some of the things you'd want to discuss with your team include:
- The correct settings in standing and seated positions
- The recommended timeline for standing and sitting throughout the day
- The available accessories that may help them work more comfortably
- The benefits of using a stylish sit-stand desk
All of these factors can make or break the standing desk experience. If we know one thing, it is this: we don't do things that are uncomfortable for us. Thus, if you are planning on adapting your workspace to include sit-stand desks, you want to make sure that your employees know how to use them. Staying comfortable while using the new furniture you offer is essential to getting your money's worth out of your investment.
Mass Application Of Standing Desks
While many people responsible for furnishing workspaces don't often think twice about the side effects of purchasing a standard office chair or desk setup to apply to every individual workspace in the office, the idea of standing desks and stylish sit-stand desk converters is a newer concept that people associate with personal health and ergonomics that are specific to the individual. The question then becomes: can you really make one standing desk work for every employee? The answer is yes (for the most part). Standing desks can only be applied to the masses when they are well made.
This idea of mass application is part of what inspired the stylish sit-stand desk that is Attollo. Because our standing desk converter is electric, there is no built-in stopping point that only adapts to specific heights. With our converters, you simply place your Attollo Desk on top of the workspace you already have in place and adjust based on the user. This makes our stylish sit-stand desk a great option for budget-conscious renovations done to encourage workplace wellness.
Contact Attollo Desk today to learn more about our bulk pricing for stylish sit-stand desks and transform your office for your employees.

People who are going through a divorce might automatically assume that they are going to have to fight tooth and nail for everything that they want or need. This isn't necessarily how things have to be. If you and your ex are willing to put forth an effort, it might be possible to have a friendly divorce.
There are some instances in which a marriage just isn't working. You and your ex might agree on this and decide that it is time to end the marriage. In this case, it might be a bit easier for you and your ex to behave amicably toward each other.
You might be surprised at how much stress you will lose if you and your ex can get along. This could help your children if you have some with your ex. In fact, it might help you out too since you and your ex could still present a united front as parents.
Oftentimes, the strife in a divorce is caused by the frustrations that are present. You might be able to calm things down in the divorce if you are able to work past the frustrations. Just remember that you and your ex have the same goal at this point -- to work through the process necessary to end the marriage.
Some issues might be more difficult to resolve, especially if you and your ex don't see eye-to-eye on the issues at hand. Thinking carefully about the options and making lists about how each option will impact you might help you as you try to hash these out with your ex.

When a civil case is settled out of court, in many cases there is an agreement from both sides not to disclose the terms of that settlement. The party that wins the money agrees to not discuss the matter any more or how much they received, and the other side is spared any future embarassment. It's a slightly distasteful practice, but it's pretty much accepted around the world.
In Massachusetts, though, that principle is being perverted. A certain institution has been the target of numerous lawsuits for discrimination and civil-rights violations. In many of those cases, they were settled out of court, and confidentiality agreements were a key part of those settlements. But the cost of those suits has become public, and in the last two years they've paid out $1.8 million dollars to keep their dirty laundry out of the public record.
How do we know the cost of these confidential settlements? Because they came out of taxpayer funds. You see, the institution that has settled these lawsuits against it was the Massachusetts Judicial System.
That's right. The very same court system that is charged with insuring justice has been repeatedly accused of gross violations against employees, and has repeatedly settled those charges quietly.
And just to add insult to injury, they haven't had to pay the price. They've just passed the cost of their improprieties on to the Massachusetts taxpayers.
And just what has been done to the officials who actually committed those original acts that triggered the lawsuits? How were they sanctioned for their misconduct? Beats the hell out of me, because thanks to the confidentiality terms, I doubt we'll ever even hear the full details of the allegations. But I don't recall too many stories of judges or other court officials being disciplined for abusing their employees.
Accountability? That's for OTHER people, I guess.

QUALIFYING: TEAM TALK – 2019 Chinese Grand Prix
Race Weekend: Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix 2019
Location: China
Session: Qualifying
Already, the 2019 Formula 1 season looks set to be a good one – especially after the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw plenty of battles, racing and surprising events too!
I think this weekend, we're all wondering what Ferrari will be able to do in terms of their race and strategy. This weekend, Sebastian Vettel seems to have the slight upper hand in terms of Qualifying but Charles Leclerc is more determined following his race in Bahrain.
Will Ferrari allow their drivers to race each other? According to some reports, priority has been given to Vettel for the race weekend in terms of the Championship but we'll have to wait and see until tomorrow!
In the meantime, let's take a look at what drivers and team members had to say following Qualifying today in China – we're set for a good race tomorrow…. 🙂
MERECEDES – Qualifying Team Talk – 2019 Chinese Grand Prix
Valtteri Bottas: "It feels so good to be on pole. I think it's going to be a very close race tomorrow so it's a good thing to start from the front. It's been a strong weekend for us so far and it was nice to continue that way in the first session that counted."
"In the end, when you go into Qualifying, it doesn't matter if you had a good weekend up until that point – the only thing which counts is if you can deliver a good lap. I'm happy that I was able to do that today and even though I think we are still a bit behind on the straights compared to Ferrari – we are stronger in the corners and ultimately gained more than we lost to them on the straights…"
"It will be a tight race tomorrow but we will need a strong race pace and the right strategy to win – I'll also need a good start in order to keep ahead and in the lead as I'm sure both Lewis and the Ferrari's will be pushing. We've been strong all weekend long so we need to continue to perform at this level to get the job done tomorrow."
Lewis Hamilton: "Fantastic job for the team. I'm really happy for us to lock out the front row – Valtteri did a great job and he was a bit quicker but I was happy to get a decent couple of laps. I didn't know where we would be but in the end, we've shown a strong performance."
"I've struggled a lot this weekend up until Qualifying and I was battling with the balance so I'm really happy with the direction it went for Qualifying – it was a bit late but better late than never!"
"I'll try and pull a good start out tomorrow – tyre management and strategy will also be important. This is not a bad track to overtake so it should be an interesting race and I'm sure that there will be a few opportunities tomorrow so I will try and put myself in the best position to be able to fight."
Toto Wolff – Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport
"It's great to see both our cars on the front row for the 1000th Grand Prix. The Ferrari's squeezed it all out and were very fast again on the straights but we were quicker in the corners and that was ultimately how we stayed ahead today. Our car looks really good in terms of downforce level."
"We need to improve our straight-line speed but it's always a combination of power and drag so we need to leave no stone unturned on the chassis and the power unit to recover a little bit."
"Valtteri was strong all weekend long and put in some good laps in Qualifying. Lewis was struggling with the grip before the session and was a few tenths behind this morning but he did a very good job recovering in the session that mattered. We're seeing massive swings from the weekend to weekend – even within one team and it makes this season really interesting."
"For Lewis, it was the other way around – he had some issues in Australia but was really strong in Bahrain. If you look at Leclerc and Vettel, it's very similar. This makes racing unpredictable and I'm sure that we will see an exciting race tomorrow as well – our long run looked decent yesterday but we expect a close battle between Ferrari, Red Bull and ourselves so we need to keep pushing."
FERRARI – Qualifying Team Talk – 2019 Chinese Grand Prix
Sebastian Vettel: "We could have done a little bit better today but probably not enough to really beat our rivals for pole. It could have been worse but I'm not entirely happy. We started off really well but then our competitors had more pace over the single lap in terms of pure performance."
"We should have a good car tomorrow thought and hopefully we can show it throughout the whole 56 laps. It's a long race and I expect it to be a very tight one too – making the right strategy choices will be important, we must make the right call at the right time and see where that takes us."
"I am not sure that everyone understand how many variable have to be taken into account – the top drivers are all starting on Medium tyres and we will see if that turns out to be the right choice. I believe anything can happen."
Charles Leclerc: "I am annoyed with myself today. I made a mistake on the last lap and I really shouldn't have done that – overall, I think there are some positives because in all three practice sessions, I was struggling a lot with the setup, the confidence in the car and also the driving…"
"Before Qualifying, we introduced some changes which meant that I could drive better and set the lap times which we were expecting. It was good but it was also disappointing not to extract all the potential from the car today. We knew that our rivals would be competitive as they have been since the first session."
"The first race tomorrow is going to be a bit more complicated than expected as I haven't done any long runs yesterday neither this morning because of the red flag so, I will be a bit in the dark. It will be tough but I'll push as much as possible and we can expect that our components will be very strong."
Mattia Binotto -Team Principal
"Qualifying wasn't perfect for us today and in a championship as closely contested as this, that can make the difference. However, I have to say that at his high level of performance, one should not be surprised to find that one can be in front in one race and then behind in the next one."
"But we have learned to our cost in Bahrain that races are not won on Saturday and I think tomorrow's Grand Prix will be very closely contested and we expect to be in the fight right to the very end."
RED BULL RACING – Qualifying Team Talk – 2019 Chinese Grand Prix
Max Verstappen: "On the final run in Q3 I followed the Ferrari in front of me as we were all in a queue. I was actually trying to be nice and not overtake, as that's not what you do in qualifying when you're all trying to prepare for the last run. This time it caught me out when I was overtaken at the end of the lap."
"I am of course not happy with that, or to be fifth, but we didn't get the opportunity to do a final lap. I'm sure this will swing around and happen to other people at another time but it's annoying as we were fighting for third."
"Of course, when you can't do the last lap in Q3 you know the guys who are doing the lap have a chance of overtaking you and that's what happened. It is how it is, and it will make tomorrow more interesting."
"We have good race pace, I'm not sure if we have the pace for a victory, but for sure we will fight for a podium."
Pierre Gasly: "Driving F1 cars is probably the best job in the world, so I cannot really complain about anything (laughs). I think today was pretty good, it was still difficult to drive the car and I'm still not 100 percent happy with my driving, but P6 was probably the best we could expect today."
"I have some areas to improve but I had a better feeling with the car than last weekend. We now know what we need to improve on and I know what I can do on my side. I had a different strategy than the top five with the soft tyres today, so let's see how that works tomorrow."
"For sure we know the degradation on the softs can be a bit tricky, but anything can happen at this track. We saw it last year with Daniel and again in qualifying today when it was hectic on the last run."
"Max was fast all weekend so now we both need to focus on the race. We will push flat out and I really hope we can get some good points. I think we're in a good place to start the race and I'm excited for tomorrow."
MCLAREN – Qualifying Team Talk – 2019 Chinese Grand Prix
Carlos Sainz: "Quite disappointed today with P14, but already in FP3 we saw that it was going to be very difficult to get into Q3."
"We knew coming into Shanghai that it was going to be a tough circuit for us and it was going to expose more our limitations. However, I think we managed to put together a decent qualifying."
"Maybe I missed a tenth or tenth and a half on my last run, but overall I think I extracted pretty much all our potential from the car. We'll analyse and work on our weaknesses and we'll prepare ourselves for the race as best as possible."
Lando Norris: "Today was obviously not as good as the past two weekends but, on the whole, I don't think it was horrendous. There's still some work to do with the car."
"Overall, there wasn't a lot more to gain today: Carlos was quicker than me – but he wasn't ahead of anyone else. I think he did a really good job of getting the most out of the car."
"This track just doesn't suit our car, compared to the previous two. It's just an area we have to work on."

India's ruling party aware it must tackle problems after state poll setbacks
NEW DELHI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party officials are gathering οn Thursday fοr talks οn a general electiοn due by May, with their deliberatiοns overshadowed by the party's defeat at the pοlls in three heartland rural states.
The Bharatiya Janata Party said the gathering, to be chaired by the party's president, Amit Shah, is a regular quarterly meeting but the losses in its strοnghold states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, cοnfirmed this week, are likely to dominate discussiοns.
Disgruntled voters blamed the slow pace of job creatiοn and weak farm prices fοr the Hindu natiοnalist party's defeat in the states, two of which it ruled fοr three straight terms.
"We realize that rural distress and employment generatiοn are the key issues and we are wοrking οn them," said BJP spοkesman Gopal Krishna Agarwal, who will attend the meeting that starts in the afternοοn and cοuld be addressed by Modi.
"They will have to be tackled, and we will take suggestiοns frοm wherever needed."
Seniοr BJP minister Nitin Gadkari told the ET Now business channel οn Thursday that the agriculture sectοr may have been neglected under their gοvernment.
Agarwal said the party already had a strategy fοr the upcοming general electiοn, which must be held by May, and it would hold anοther big gathering next mοnth.
A chartered accοuntant who is also a directοr in a state-run bank, Agarwal said increasing lending fοr job-generating small businesses was a key fοcus, as was enhancing prοcurement of grain frοm farmers by gοvernment agencies at state-mandated prices so there are nο distress sales.
The gοvernment annοunces so-called minimum suppοrt prices fοr mοst crοps to set a benchmark, but state agencies mainly buy limited quantities of staples such as rice and wheat at those prices, restricting benefits of higher prices to οnly arοund 7 percent of the cοuntry's 263 milliοn farmers, accοrding to various studies.
Following the state electiοn setbacks, Modi's gοvernment is expected to annοunce loan waivers wοrth billiοns of dollars to woo farmers, gοvernment sources told Reuters this week.
Agarwal said the party's loss in Madhya Pradesh, knοwn fοr multiplying agriculture prοductiοn under three BJP gοvernments, has reinfοrced its realizatiοn that higher output helps cοnsumers by bringing down prices but can badly hurt farmers.
"The fοcus has so far been οn cοnsumers, like impοrting οniοns when prices shot up," Agarwal said. "Now we need to look at the prοducers, nοt just the cοnsumers."
He also said there was a case fοr fiscal stimulus given that inflatiοn fell to a 17-mοnth low in November. Food inflatiοn sank to a negative 2.61 percent frοm a negative 0.86 percent in October, accοrding to official data released οn Wednesday.

Carrying Your Weight: Marketers Talk Big Questions at B-to-B Roundtable
"I really appreciate that you came out to talk about B-to-B marketing a little bit," said Thorin McGee, editor-in-chief of Target Marketing. "Most of you have said what I've seen—which is that B-to-B marketing doesn't really get the attention it deserves, from the event space, from roundtables like this. We don't often get a chance to talk about B-to-B and what's unique about that compared to B-to-C marketing."
It was a chill November day in New York City, when 13 of today's top marketers across a wide spectrum of B-to-B companies came together in an exclusive round table to talk about what's been on their minds. Bouncing ideas off of each other for almost two hours, they went deep on everything from content marketing to tallying up ROI.
One issue it seemed most marketers are wrestling with was just how to prove the value of a marketing department to the C-suite. "I think that marketing as a function is really being redefined," Greg Grdodian, CEO of Pearl River, N.Y.-based Reach Marketing said. "Just think: A few years ago, there was an unbendable barrier between marketing and IT. They didn't speak, meet or even like each other. Today, a full-breed marketing executive has to be part creative, part tech and part statistician. So you have to visualize what works, generate measurable results and understand the numbers."
Edison Partners CMO Kelly Ford took a different tact, saying "Marketing should be shoulder to shoulder with Sales. So many CEOs really don't understand. Their perspective is 'I'll hire 5 more sales people before I'd hire a marketing leader.'"
"As long as everything you're doing is putting you there, shoulder to shoulder with sales, then the CEO gets it," said New York-based advertising software provider INVISION's Erin McCallion. "The budget is justified, and then all of the other marketing stuff will come. I feel like that's where the inroads can be made first."

Much of science and technology is neither obvious, nor visible to the naked eye. The flow of electric current and the function of DNA are examples of phenomena of profound importance that can only be understood in the abstraction of ideas. Visualization is the technology of making complex conceptual ideas real—by giving them form, sight, and sound. Learning research shows convincingly that students who understand a concept are far more ready to learn the formal content of science, such as mathematics. Unzipping the double helix of DNA and electric current are both concepts that can be made real through animation and visualization.
Animated diagrams
Animation in charts and diagrams shows relationships between mathematical representations (such as graphs) and the real world (such as the ErgoBot rolling up and down a ramp). The teacher uses a projected stop-frame to illustrate why the velocity starts negative then becomes positive when the car reaches the highest point and turns around. The student has the full animation in their e-Book so they can replay it while doing problems that solidify their understanding.
Mouse-over to play animation
The science in technology
Most people recognize that there is science in technology, but many students do not appreciate how the science they are taught is applied to the technologies they use. Animation can take apart complex technologies and show how physics concepts, such as momentum conservation, are applied in technological design. For most students, this connection provides relevance that makes the difference between engagement and success in learning—and its undesirable opposite.
Teaching for maximum effectiveness
A well planned training leaves you confident that you know what to do. How many times have you tried in vain, however, to remember something when you finally get to use that cool new technique you learned the previous summer? Ergopedia specializes in creating engaging training videos that are "night-before" support for teachers. While there is no substitute for face-to-face training with an engaging instructor, video is a cost-effective and useful resource for teachers to brush up on both content and teaching techniques—as well as to learn quickly how to teach new content more effectively.
Videos for e-learning
The new Essential Physics curriculum features a rich e-Book with embedded videos and animations. All our videos are written, shot, edited, and produced in-house. Our video productions are of the highest quality, pulling together all the features you expect: content written and presented by our team of experts; close-ups of equipment and procedures; integrated graphics and animations to illustrate key concepts; and professional editing to make it all visually compelling.
Ergopedia's extensive video library
Ergopedia has produced more than 100 videos for education and training. Some videos have shorter content combined with interactional features, while other videos have extensive content lasting up to 30 minutes. We have also produced a series of training videos for educators, such as those introducing each investigation in A Natural Approach to Chemistry. More information, as well as additional previews of some of the videos in the Ergopedia library, can be found in Our Work. Watch a preview of the 24-minute video, Plate Tectonics, at right.

Kiefer credits younger brother Thirdy as the 'better Ravena'
Thirdy Ravena was nothing but phenomenal for the Ateneo Blue Eagles during their best-of-three Finals against UP Fighting Maroons.
The athletic forward displayed an all-around performance in Game 1 with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and nine asissts.
However, it was Game 2 that solidified the younger Ravena's legacy in the league after posting a career-high 38 points — matching his older brother's career high during his college stint.
"Nakadalawang championship na nga, dalawang MVP pa. 'Yung 38 na lang saving grace ko eh. Okay lang na masabing pantay. Noong nilabas na siya, natuwa pa ako kesa noong nag-champion sila," Kiefer joked.
"I expected something from him in the Finals… not to put any pressure on him, but that boy loves the stage, loves to be in the Finals," he added.
Although both Kiefer and Thirdy won two championships in Ateneo respectively, it was the latter who has more UAAP Finals appreances, 3-2.
The NLEX guard, who is currently serving his one-year ban, also said that Thirdy wanted to surpass his accomplishments ever since — and so far that has been the case.
"He got two Finals MVPs, two championships. He's going for a third one just so he can say he can beat me," Kiefer shared.
"Now, I'm afraid he's gonna get one in his senior year. I know he won't let anything happen, nothing in his way can stop him.
Because of what Thirdy has done recently for the Blue Eagles and for himself, Kiefer now considers his younger brother as the better Ravena — for now.
"For now, siguro na hindi ako naglalaro, bigay muna natin sa kanya."

I just realized I rarely correspond with the daily theme... Nonetheless, here's something that's been on my want list for quite some time... Unlike the 'regular' R32 GTR Nismo (if we can even call it that), AutoArt made a special edition SRC (Skyline Redline Club) edition limited to 1,000 units.
This model has actually been out for awhile now.. however, prices on these has since skyrocketed like alot of 'golden age' AutoArts.. Fortunately, I was able to pick this up for $180. Keep in mind these are 'worth' around $400.
I know at least a few of you on here are JDM or more specifically, GTR fans. So it only makes sense to showcase this less known model on here right?
The coveted SRC emblem! I actually haven't done much research on this but apparently it's somewhat hard to get? If any one of you can provide more info, that'll be gladly appreciated.

Flash flooding causes mudslides in Larimer County, Colo. 14 closed
July 6, 2012
Debris flowing out of the Hewlett Gulch and into the Poudre River prompted Greeley water officials Thursday night to stop taking in water from the Poudre River and to turn instead to the Horsetooth Reservoir.
The city will continue to receive its water supply from Horsetooth until Monday, said Frank Brooks, water operations manager for Greeley's Water and Sewer Department. After this weekend, which is forecast for more rain, staff will re-evaluate whether to go back on Poudre water, he said.
"The black water flowing down the Poudre now is just flowing right on by our treatment plant," Brooks said. Until then, he said, "we're with a full set of treated water, so we've got everything that we need."
Flash flooding Friday resulted in mudslides in Larimer County, causing the closure of Colo. 14 in the Poudre Canyon.
Larimer County sheriff's officials sent 227 pre-evacuation alerts Friday evening telling residents from Mishawaka to Gateway Park along Colo. 14 to be ready to leave if conditions get worse.
Authorities say heavy rain hit the Poudre Park area Friday afternoon, leading to mudslides and flash flooding that deposited branches, ash and mud up to a foot deep in some places.
