Ian and other students from Weber State University's Children's School helped conserve water and purify the air while participating in the xeriscaping project. WSU students also did their part by planting trees around the W5 parking area. Do . '.:.--..-.-si 11 v-;- ' ' 1 O :;"; li JD 0 o $P?x v y v t f A Kf5 t ... .j If! ' b 3 . . if Eakth Day By Patrick Parkinson asst. news editor-77?e Signpost D o you know what xeriscaping is? As a part of Weber State University's 1998 Earth Day cel ebration, a groundbreaking took place Wednesday to present a new environmental project to the campus. Brian Dorsey, a professor in WSU's geography department, explained a xeriscaping project which has been spawned by the Environmental Issues Standing Committee. Xeriscaping is a process which seeks to utilize land more efficiently by increasing water conservation. Plant selection is an important part of beginning the xeriscaping process. "We've developed landscapes that aren't really adaptive to this type of climate," Dorsey said. He said for Utah's semi-arid climate, we need to get away from tlic traditional lawn, and landscape with more adaptive plants. Successful xeriscaping also requires vital soil nutrients and efficient irrigation. The use of mulch will help cut down on weeds and evaporation and works to slow down erosion. Some statistics say watering our lawns in Utah uses about half the state's treated drinking water. "We're trying to make changes in the ways we approach water conservation for the campus," Dorsey said. Dorsey and Barbara Wachocki, a WSU botany professor who also spoke at the ceremony, work on WSU's EISC. The committee began in the early 1990s and has worked to ensure an ethical, ecological approach to campus affairs. Having implemented a growing recycling program on our campus, the xeriscaping project is the committee's latest focus. "We live in one of the driest states in the Union, yet we expect huge expanses of lawn and lush gardens without a thought about the amount of water it takes to maintain such landscape," said Caril Jennings, chairwoman of the committee. "We need to start finding and appreciating another kind of natural beauty that truly reflects our western environment. We hope our gardens will become good advertisements for xeriscaping. Of course, it will take a few years for these gardens to become established so we are really looking forward to beginning this project as soon as the weather allows." The professors also stressed the importance of hydrozoning when developing landscaping plans. "Hydrozoning is basically landscaping with water conservation in mind," Wachocki said. For more on the Environment See Page 2 She said not only can the use of drought-tolerant plants be important for water conservation, but how the plants are arranged can also be important. Plants needing similar amounts of water should be grouped together,, therefore saturation is not necessary for assuring that each plant is satiated. "You develop different water zones within your landscape area," Wachocki said. Others on WSU's campus also got involved in the Earth Day celebration. A group of about 30 youngsters from WSU's day-care facility planted almost 300 new trees on awest-facing hill, south of the science building. And WSU students participated in another tree planting on the east side of campus. Representatives from several local and statewide environmental organizations were on campus Wednesday to promote their individual causes. Local groups like the Ogdcn Canyon Club and Ogden Nature Center were eager to discuss theirefforts with students, while scientists from Utah State University shared their views about the importance of healthy farmland.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

No one wrote this into the script.
Police in Middleburg Heights say they arrested a man in a car stolen right off the set of the Captain America movie being filmed in downtown Cleveland. That car was one of the props.
In real life, the super heroes became victims of crime.
Just after midnight Thursday morning, Middleburg Heights Police saw a car rolling down I-71 with no license plates. Officers learned the vehicle, a 2013 Chevy Malibu, had been stolen from the movie set.
Police say the driver didn't have a license. Police video shows, the driver even held the license plates out the window when an officer pulled him over. We're told he first said he had permission to be in the car, but he really didn't.
Middleburg Heights Mayor Gary Starr told 19 Action News, "Middleburg Heights came to the rescue of Captain America. We have our own action figures in Middleburg Heights. They arrested the bad guy in this case."
The movie set is guarded by Willo Security. And we got stopped before we even got near the set. So how did some thief rip off a car there?
Cleveland Third District Detectives have now picked up the investigation.
Of course, this has already led the Middleburg Heights Mayor to suggest a new story line. You know, a guy steals a car, and then he gets stopped by police, and then. ... Well, you get the idea.

The state of inpatient mental health care in Vermont is in trouble. The former Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury was plagued by problems, including two suicides in 2003 that exposed safety and treatment deficiencies that put patients at risk. Soon after, the federal government decertified the hospital, costing the state $10 million a year in federal funding. Then came Tropical Storm Irene, dealing a fatal blow to the outdated facility.
Jeff Rothenberg is in charge of implementing a new era in mental health care in Vermont that is largely decentralized. The Vermont State Hospital is being replaced with the much smaller Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital that is still under construction in Berlin. Watch the video for more.

MARSHFIELD (WSAU) - Marshfield's Common Council will take up the city's operating budget for 2013 at their meeting Tuesday night.
City Administrator Steve Barg says, "What I'll be doing on Tuesday night is walking through with the Council a real overview of the budget, talking about where the money's going, what some of the new things there are for 2013, and how it all ties together."
Barg says he expects that the 2012 tax rate of $8.95 per-one-thousand-dollars of assessed value can be held again this year to maintain the city's tax levee, which is just under 12-million dollars.
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled of late November, and Barg says his proposed budget will be posted on the city's web site for review.

The recipe had me at "pomegranate salsa." I was looking for an easy, warming dish, and the idea of root vegetables, Moroccan spices and a topping of pomegranate seeds, scallions, lime and mint did the trick.
If you find the list of spices too long, substitute a good Moroccan spice blend or an Indian garam masala. Serve the stew over grains, or on its own.

from Design by Dee
This shawl is amazing - love the new construction of the knitted on border - makes for a very engaging project!!!!
This shawl is so feminine and was a lot less intimidating to knit than I thought it would be. Awesome shawl. Awesome pattern.
Really loved this shawl. The knitted-on border, which was a technique I had not done before, was a delight to knit. Looking at it reminded me of vintage lace. This shawl is going to be a classic. I loved the mix of the lace body pattern together with the stockinette panels and topped off by the knitted on border.
The look of feminine elegance, this is Holbrook. A wonderfully delightful knit. A very enjoyable project!
I am proud to be in a place where I know about this talented artist. Each shawl shows her amazing growth in her art. The Holbrook sets the mood of a very elegant lady who is strong and knows her place in the world. Dee is a wonderful and caring teacher as well. Thank you Dee, we love you.

Ravens rule out LB McClain
Owings Mills, MD (Sports Network) - Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain will not play in the team's upcoming showdown with the Denver Broncos due to a neck injury he sustained in Sunday's game against Washington.
McClain left Baltimore's 31-28 overtime loss to the Redskins in the second half and is undergoing further tests to determine the severity of his condition.
The five-year pro has started 45 consecutive contests for the Ravens and had never missed a game since joining the team as an undrafted free agent in 2008. McClain's 79 tackles ranks second among Baltimore defenders this season.
The Ravens have been hit hard by injuries at the inside linebacker position all throughout 2012. Perennial Pro Bowl honoree Ray Lewis has been out since Week 6 with a torn triceps, while replacement Dannell Ellerbe has been inactive for the last two games with an ankle problem.
Lewis, Baltimore's designated to return player on injured reserve, did resume practicing last week and is considered a possibility to be back in the lineup when the Ravens host the Broncos on Sunday in a matchup of current AFC division leaders.
The Ravens could also be without right guard Marshal Yanda for Sunday's clash after the 2011 Pro Bowl selection sprained his right ankle against Washington. Veteran Bobbie Williams would likely start the Denver game if Yanda cannot play.

I know I should get use to these cool mornings, it is almost Thanksgiving. Did I mention the wind?
Seas have been a little sporty and yes we have had a little wind, but it is still pretty nice and the fish do not seem to mind. Lots of Spanish macs in the river and the surf along with blues, pompano, croaker and a few others.
Offshore the sails have arrived with a mix of dolphin and plenty of black fins. Some macs in the hole depending on the day, but the kings are still missing from the report.
River anglers are trying to stay out of the wind with plenty of reds and trout to keep busy with blues, jacks and ribbon fish chewing anything that moves, so I guess I will adjust.
It has been that 100 feet of water for the action to start not going beyond 180 feet. Rips and color lines have made this area the busiest, trolling baits preferred.
Dolphin seem to be in the 15- to 20-pound class, most taken on the blue side of the color line. Sails are using the colored water for an ambush and whether you are north of south of the inlet the fishing has been pretty good.
Bite seems to start early but we have excellent reports from the afternoon anglers. Black fins are mixed in the with the bonita and you rate your trip by numbers. Bring more bait because this group is hungry.
Spanish macs in the hole have been in and out, still a little early but worth a stop. If they are there that green crystal minnow jig will find them. Sure wish I had something to tell you about the king macs but still not on the catch list.
We have wahoo north of us and to the south, so why is no one fishing for them?
Surf anglers have had an unusual week. Pompano, blues and macs were on the list but the times were a little different. It would seem they forgot to set their clocks. Late morning has been the bite time.
Yes the fish are there early but the numbers have been later in the morning to mid-afternoon. Pompano bite has started from Vero to the St. Lucie Inlet, nice numbers and nice size.
Sorry to say the Hobe Sound area has been the home of the shorts, maybe this week they will get a few bigger fish in that area. Blues have been a good target with macs a close second, spoons and cut baits for these two. Big croaker and some whiting from noon on, they like me like it warm.
The wind has kept river anglers moving looking for flat sheltered water. Makes no difference there are plenty of reds with that mix of trout to keep busy. Suspending baits are preferred, something that reds can get on top of. Yes, you can catch them on top water, but I can't.
Have had reports from Bear Point south to Boy Scout Island, lots of nice reds in the top of the slot, best part is the cool water, any time is a good time.
Most trout from mid-morning and the blues and jacks don't care what time, they are there just waiting. Some pomps from the bridges; not enough to say when but big macs and big ribbon fish to keep you on your toes.
It has been a long time since we have had this many ribbon fish in the river. These fish have serious teeth so be careful, they will strike anything.
'�Till next week, I am adjusting.

NORTH KINGSTOWN—In the months leading up to Tuesday's special election on three bond questions relating to the installation of artificial turf at McGinn Park and the future of the former Wickford Elementary School (WES) building, North Kingstown Town Manager Michael Embury said voters had to approve turf at McGinn because the current condition of the fields in town was an "unacceptable situation" where town employees spent a large number of hours devoted to the field that could devoted elsewhere.
NARRAGANSETT—The Narragansett Town Council continued a motion to approve $29,980 of kitchen improvements to the break room at the town hall. Some town employees, however, have taken umbrage with spending budget dollars on a project which they deem as an unnecessary expenditure.
"Bottom line is that this renovation request is a waste of tax payer's money and is in bad taste during a time of economic hardship," said one employee. "This break room can be updated for significantly less and still fulfill the needs of Town employees."
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The Dugway Bridge will unite West Kingston once more.
The Dugway Bridge in West Kingston closed in January due to ongoing deterioration and with its closing went the ease of passage residents had in getting to their homes and between the north and south sides of the area. West Kingston was left divided. Yet, plans are moving forward to replace the bridge with a similar steel and timber bridge after the town council approved two construction bids at Monday night's meeting.
Great News! The Narragansett Times has been chosen as the winner of the 2011 New England Newspaper of the Year. Thank you to all our readers who make it all worthwhile.
Voters in North Kingstown had their chance Tuesday to tell the town council exactly how they felt about a proposed installation of artificial turf at McGinn Park and, overwhelmingly, they came out against it.
Read all about the special election, as well as about the latest on the Kimberly Fry murder trial, the passing of local icon David Burnham and much, much more in this week's Standard Times!
In today's The Narragansett Times, find out why the town of Narragansett decided to hire the Woods Hole Group to study beach erosion. Also inside, West Kingston Principal Kim Mather tells how teachers and students survived the start of the first day of school without power. The Times will also inform you on what the town of South Kingstown finally decided to do in regards to the Dugway Bridge in West Kingston. Pick up a copy of today's paper!
At its business meeting on August 23rd the North Kingstown School Committee, after a charade of about six weeks, appointed Dr. Phil Auger as superintendent of schools.
The usually irascible and skeptical-of-everything Bill Mudge, who had wanted Dr. Auger made permanent super from the get-go, introduced a motion to anoint–I mean appoint–him as permanent superintendent subject to reaching a mutually acceptable employment contract.
By LINDSAY OLIVIER
NORTH KINGSTOWN – North Kingstown taxpayers will help determine the future of the Wickford Elementary School (WES) building and decide whether or not to install artificial turf at McGinn Park in a special election Tuesday.
In the first of three questions, voters will be asked to issue $850,000 in bonds to finance the installation of artificial turf and make related improvements to the McGinn Park Field, which is only useable for only two months out of the year due to the intensity of activity.
Hundreds of miles and five weeks later Joe "Tiger" Patrick is reaching the place, where his life changed forever on Sept. 11, Ground Zero, New York City.
On Aug. 7, Patrick began a journey taking a train to Washington D.C. and then walking from the Pentagon to Shanksville Pa, and on to New York City in one month just in time to reach Ground Zero on Sept. 11. Along his trip, he travelled to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia to Shankesville, Penn., to Ground Zero in New York to honor the fallen victims of Sept. 11, 2001.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – When he was 10 or 11, Kevin Brady found his diabetic uncle unconscious, threw him over his shoulder in a fireman's carry, and rushed miles down Tower Hill Road in South Kingstown to South County Hospital.
He remembers no details of that trip, only how it started and how it ended.
"I've blotted it out," he says.

The 2012 drought caused a complex network of agronomic challenges for farmers. Now, they can add another one to their list: the drought has made it harder to spot herbicide-resistant weeds.
Fortunately, there are some resistance "red flags" that farmers can use to more accurately diagnose problems, says Mark Peterson, global biology leader for the Enlist Weed Control System at Dow AgroSciences.
"The most important thing is to walk fields and ask if weed escapes are occurring in any kind of pattern," he says. "A pattern could indicate a plugged nozzle or a sprayer that drove too wide. In the early stages of resistance, seeds from a resistant individual can also create patches."
Another red flag is observing a variety of weed sizes. If only big weeds escaped, there's a better chance that the herbicide was sprayed too late or at an improper rate. The presence of large, medium and small weeds could indicate that resistance is at work.
Even the weed species itself can be a red flag, Peterson contends.
"The top species tend to be some type of amaranth, marestail or ragweed species," he says. "They also produce a lot of seeds—such as pigweed—or have seeds that are easily relocated—such as marestail."
This last point has resulted in Midwestern weed scientists warning farmers to be wary of equipment or even manure that comes from areas with established resistant weed populations or from cows that were fed cottonseed meal.
Resistant or not, Ohio State University Extension weed scientist Mark Loux says any weeds that survive a drought might be harder to kill. That's because during extended dry conditions, weeds grow more slowly and develop thicker cuticles on leaf surfaces, which can reduce herbicide movement throughout the plant.
Therefore, weed specialists say, a more aggressive burndown program might be in order in advance of the 2013 planting season. Zemax herbicide from Syngenta joins a group of several effective burndown options that further diversify modes of action to stave off the spread of resistant weeds.
"Based on the same capsule-suspension formulation technology as Halex GT corn herbicide, Zemax combines two active ingredients—mesotrione and S-metolachlor—into one product with optimized handling and physical properties," explains Johnny Reynolds, senior group leader of herbicide formulation development for Syngenta.
Increasingly, zero-tolerance pigweed policies are the norm for farmers everywhere—whether or not the weeds are actually resistant to any herbicide.
"I treat them all as if they were resistant and kill them all," says John Everitt, Monsanto technology development representative. His advice to farmers: "Start clean and stay clean."
University of Tennessee row crop weed specialist Larry Steckel has seen more resistant weeds than he'd care to admit.
He knows that control options can quickly become limited—especially when some resistant species, such as pigweed and waterhemp, can grow more than 2" per day.
When resistant weeds have spread from patches of a field to the entire field, Steckel says you have three options:

JONESVILLE Ś Jonesville High School students enjoyed popsicles and ice cream with lunch Wednesday afternoon thanks to a dedicated group of students.
Student members of the Hillsdale County Youth Engaged in Prevention celebrated Kick Butts Day with the dessert treats. The 20 members of the group asked students to sign a poster pledging to say no to drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
The group, nowĀin its second year, was started by Hannah Smith and Kaitlyn Mapes after their sophomore year. The two seniors came up with this yearÆs motto, ōIce Cream Against Tobacco.ö
The two girls believe the group has made a big difference at the school.
ōWe wanted to raise awareness in the community and at school,ö said Mapes. ōIt has definitely been a success. Seeing athletes in the group has raised awareness among other students.ö
Along with handing out ice cream, the students had an informational table showing their fellow classmates the dangers of smoking.
ōI think we had a good turnout this year,ö Mapes said. ōWe had a lot of questions asked. I think we spiked some interest in the group.ö
There are 17,000 new youth smokers each year in Michigan, and 298,000 kids alive in Michigan today will eventually die from tobacco-related disease, said a press release from Kelley Mapes, health educator/tobacco reduction action coordinator for Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency.
ōThe good news is that there are a number of evidence-based programs and policy changes, which are being implemented by local communities and the state tobacco program, that can help us reduce smoking rates,ö she said. ō24/7 tobacco-free schools, tobacco-free outdoor recreation areas, smoke-free multi-unit housing, and increasing access to tobacco dependence treatment options are all effective in reducing youth and adult tobacco use rates. In addition, at the state policy level an increase in the price of cigarettes and other tobacco products would reap enormous health and economic benefits. States that raise the price of tobacco always experience reduced tobacco use and always see substantial revenue increases.ö
The group of Jonesville students take part in a variety of activities to protect children from tobacco including public speaking, community service opportunities and grant writing.
ōIt has been a great program,ö Mapes said.
The students received a $250 grant from Tobacco Free Kids.

"Planning Commission adopts Central Delaware Master Plan
March 6, 2012. Kellie Patrick Gates
The Philadelphia City Planning Commission unanimously adopted the Master Plan for the Central Delaware Waterfront in its entirety, on Tuesday afternoon.
"It's an ambitious plan," said Commission Vice Chairman Joe Syrnick before the vote. "It's not perfect, but this area has languished for far too long, and it needs a road map for moving forward."
The action was a great relief to advocates for the master plan - which aims to reunite the city and the waterfront with a system of linked parks and extended city streets - and the quasi-city agency that oversaw its development.
As recently as Saturday, top planning staff was still in discussion over whether to recommend that the commission adopt the full plan or accept portions on the northern and southern end. See previous coverage here and here.
Because it was adopted, the Central Delware Plan is now part of the city's comprehensive plan. It must be considered by any city governing body - such as City Council or the Zoning Board of Adjustment - when making a waterfront decision. Had the plan been accepted instead, consideration would have been optional.
"We're thrilled," said Matt Ruben, chairman of the Central Delaware Advocacy Group, which is comprised of representatives from waterfront civic and other organizations and advocates for the vision the public expressed for the central Delaware during years of public input sessions.
CDAG and other fans of the plan say it will re-tie the city to the waterfront, create new recreational and green space and spur economic growth. Queen Village Neighbors Association President Jeff Hornstein told commissioners that his is one of the communities most cut-off from the waterfront by the creation of I-95. "We see the plan as a remedy," he said."

PHILADELPHIA, PA (WSAU-Sports Network) - Jonathan Lucroy went 5-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.
Yuniesky Betancourt went 3-for-5 with an RBI, while Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Gomez and Jeff Bianchi each drove in a run for the Brewers, who had dropped a season-high six straight games entering the contest.
Yovani Gallardo (4-5) gave up five runs on six hits -- three homers -- and three walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings.
Domonic Brown finished his torrid May campaign by slugging a pair of homers and driving in four runs. Brown batted .308 with a league-leading 12 home runs and 25 RBI for the month.

Democrats may have the biggest single money-raiser in the governor's race this year, but the Georgia Republican Party will head into the fall general election campaign with a huge fundraising advantage.
The state GOP, heavily funded by its elected officials, reported raising $870,740 during the most recent three months, according to disclosures filed with the State Ethics Commission.
The party had $2.58 million banked as of June 30.
The Democratic Party of Georgia raised $335,566 during that period and had $443,287 on hand as of June 30.
The Democrats' biggest contributors were also elected officials.
The money difference could play a major role in this fall's governor's race.
Former Gov. Roy Barnes, the leading Democratic candidate, has raised more money than any other gubernatorial hopeful.
However, in 2006, the state GOP raised millions of dollars – mostly from state lawmakers – to run TV ads for Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue's re-election campaign.
The party could once again be used as a conduit for the GOP gubernatorial nominee this fall, depending on who wins the party's nomination. The party establishment has shown little enthusiasm for Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine, but it could spend big on one of the other candidates if they win the nomination.

We can agree that there is a major budget short fall. One of our GOP governor experts thinks that if you eliminate State Income tax, we will fix the problem. Let me hear from those who think the same.

Sue Everhart has proven once again why she is one of the best state Chairman the Georgia GOP has ever had. She treats the office like what it is – a more than fulltime job (minus the pay). She's kept out of the primary wars, allowing the best candidate to win, while she's kept her nose to the grindstone – always looking for new Republican voters and raising a hell of alot of money.

In this horrible economy, its shameful that large amounts of $ are spent foolishly on these campaigns! Ads about abortion in the Gov. race? Thats a federal issue, not a state issue! But dumb voters respond. These candidates are sooo boring, and unsophisticated! These TV ads make these bumpkins and GA look so backward!

I am a Washingtonian who works in the state of Georgia. I see first hand how republicans have spread their fear of President Obama, the first african american elected President of the USA. These local governments that surround the City of Atlanta, are controlled by conservative republicans who are only concerned about protecting their way of living, thus the state capitol (Atlanta) controlled by democrats are at the mercy of these local governments who create laws to "annex" their city and steal businesses away from downtown which erodes the city of Atlanta's tax base. Recent election results for the Governor's office are tainted by race. Blacks are voting democrat and Whites are voting republican. Racial tensions are esculating due to lack of jobs, immigration reform and hatred for President Obama. Georgia is in bad shape and is getting worst by the day. It's time for all Americans to stop the racial hatred and treat each other with compassion. We all must live in a civilized society. Who would have thought that by electing a Black man President we would have all this racial strife.

Come on James, you sound like the racist. Obama hasn't delivered on any of his promises… "transparency", please……Pelosi…"drain the swamp", Please! Please!! When are you Liberals going to realize that it is about POLICIES, not race. You are always the ones that injects race. Yes, Sue is doing a great job! Thank you Sue for the Small Business Forum last week.

Obama had his face slapped hard by Roy Barnes who did not appear with him. That was a bad public image for Barry and his band of marxist thugs. Barnes made good and sure that he was in Texas or in Alaska campaigning. AHAHAHA
Tea Party is nearing a whupping of the obamarons and they will get him ( electoral college will get him ) come November of 2012.
We will take our nation back.

bobby ………… you are a moron. Businesses have abandoned downtown Atlanta because of the lovely environs that are available in newer suburban communities. Your assertion that Atlanta has been robbed is to suggest that we all OWE Atlanta our money and we should live there. Absurd that is. Sad. Atlanta is a crime zone and full of wasted deadbeats and is a clear tribute to LBJ's failed Great Society.
Tea Party is about to take back the US House and then ……….. the electoral college will take care of Barry and his band of marxist thugs come November 2012.

Liberals argue that we need to pay more income taxes so that they can hire more unionized, deadbeat workers. In other words, it is all about the government. barry's Stim Package was just that. Old, decaying NE cities like Newark, Philly, Cleveland and Toledo and Gary, Indiana kept deadbeat county and city workers on their bloated payrolls. Ugh!!! Disgusting it is.
Here is how it really is ………… if John has more disposable income, because he pays LESS TAXES, he might save more or he might buy a pencil. He just might need a new, sharp pencil. Now, the pencil factory or the local pencil distributor might need to hire more workers ………. to make and sell more pencils. The diners near the pencil factory might need to hire one more cook and one more wait person. The local servie station might hire another mechanic to better serve the pencil factory workers who need tune ups,etc.
This terrifies liberals ……… because folks are making their own decisions with THEIR money and it also could lead to a dimunition of power ………. due to less government deadbeat workers in need of the Demo politicans.
Teaparty is going to be heard from come November and Barry knows it. The cries of racsim do not work anymore. John Q. Public is on to that ………… look at the national polls. It is over for barry.

I do not hate the President.. I do not know him. I fear he is taking this country in entirely the wrong direction. You cannot spend your way out of debt. And GA isn't so bad. It is a wonderful place to live. I love Atlanta and really miss as I am in another state for a while. Schools everywere are having to do with less and ugly commercials are the way of life in a political race. I have live in 9 different states and it is always the same. Try to find the person you think is the best. AND if people hate GA so much move!

@Taxes and government payrolls and pencils:
Since the Republicans sent all the jobs overseas, the pencil you refer to is made in China and bought on the internet. No employees, distribution or sales infra-structure. Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane. A real last-century business model.

Deal with all of his "Battle of Atlanta" cronies is worried about Karen's education; he better be worried about facing the U. S. Grand
Jury. He is holding his breath that he can get through the 10 Aug Runoff before the "real Deal" truth is told. This could wreck havoc
for the GOP in General Election( Nov) were he to win this Runoff Tues.

I suspected that Atlanta was full of Carpetbaggers ans Scalawags but
look how they have panicked and are coming out of the woodwork at the
eleventh hour. Some are going to have to go out and find real jobs
to support their unladylike women!! They might even have to settle for
a Ford or Chevy next year (a real nightmare, now wouldn't that be SAD.
When this is over, they just might have to go out and have a hissyfit.

I am involved in comerical rela estate in Atlanta and trying to attract new business. IMHO:
The only businesses that low taxes will attract to our state our low paying businesses only here for cheap labour or tax breaks. These are the same businesses that bankroll state replicans. We would be better servered to build a world class city in Atlanta with an infrastructure to attract large corporations who will being quality jobs.
The number one thing large businesses want is good educated employees. I am afraid if an ignoramous like Deal is elected he will turn business away from investing in GA as people will think all we care about is god, guns and cutting taxes!

Janice you can try but making a case for Atlanta is difficult when you see the incompetence and outright corruption that has been the hallmark of its leadership for so many years.
September 12th, 2010
9:14 pm
Will, I am not going to disagree with you about the corruption which needs to be erradicated but that is an "efficiency" issue with what/who we already have in place. We need reform across the board.
However with the two choices we have for governer I am afraid Deal will make many businesses not even consider our state to begin with and give a big competitive advantage to cities such as Charlotte. Although Barnes isn't ideal I think he will improve our states image as opposed to Deal who will destroy it.

Morgan Jazz Bb Clarinet MouthpieceThe Morgan Jazz Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece represents a return to the principles of acoustical designs and handcrafting methods used for well over 100 years. Morgan is confident that the mouthpiece performs better than mass-production machine-worked clarinet mouthpieces.Morgan products are hand-crafted from raw rubber castings made in Morgan's own molds, from the finest European rubber. Instead of the machinery normally used in a mouthpiece factory, only hand tools are used to produce a fine Morgan mouthpiece. The only machine used is a buffing wheel for polishing the surfaces. All Morgan mouthpieces are expertly hand-faced to an accuracy of .0002", or 1/15th the thickness of a piece of paper, and that's why Morgan mouthpieces really perform.The first Morgan clarinet mouthpieces were produced only a few years ago, and now many hundreds of the finest players in the world have made Morgan clarinet mouthpieces as their mouthpiece of choice.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I have owned an RM-15 for the past 20 years. I'll never go back. If you're looking for a projector mouthpiece that can bend pitches like a sax player, then this is the one you need to look at. The beak cut is easy on the embouchure and the baffle pushes more sound with less air. It is a brighter, but focused sound which is great for jazz or outdoor settings. Not what you want for symphony settings where you need the darker tones, though.
I am using the J7 (most open) of Morgan's jazz mouthpieces and a 1 1/2 reed. The sound is full and easy to produce. It has the richest sound.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

OPINION: An Internet Radio Service Weighs In On The Internet Radio Fairness Act
Welcome to the O Music Awards guest writer series, a place where we hand the proverbial reins over to qualified writers/musicians/etc and let them share their thoughts about music, technology and more. Today's guest blogger is Myxer CMO, Mike Carson.
The Internet Radio Fairness Act has been discussed at length and is currently being debated in Congress. The IRFA's main support comes from Pandora, who wants the royalty rates Internet radio services pay to match those of satellite and cable radio providers. Myxer's support is in lockstep with Pandora. Those supporting the IRFA believe that Internet radio services like Pandora should be subject to the same royalty rates as their satellite, terrestrial and cable radio competitors. Currently, Pandora pays out over 50% of their revenues to SoundExchange, a non-profit set up by the RIAA to collect royalties from satellite, Internet, cable TV and other similar platforms for streaming sound recordings.
Myxer is aware of and subject to the financial challenges of operating an Internet streaming radio and social entertainment platform and we want to ensure an environment that fosters innovation and growth. Our main concerns are providing Myxer listeners with a great experience and preventing the shuttering of Internet radio services that allow independent artists, who we work with extensively, to reach audiences they can't access at terrestrial, satellite or cable radio.
Music labels and (some) artists are against the IRFA, as they believe the bill is a direct attack on their respective revenues. The issue is that the model has always been difficult: the more people who use Myxer, the more we have to pay in royalties to continue operating. The model is less than ideal and a popular suggested solution for making up revenues has been to sell more –- or more costly –- advertising.
Myxer believes selling more ads isn't enough to solve the problem. While increasing revenues may seem smart, additional advertising units can hurt the experience we have created for our users. Listeners don't want their experience cluttered with an abundance of intrusive ads. In addition to selling ads more effectively, we need to work with our brand and artist partners to deliver entertaining and valuable content to our users. We need to create innovative and profitable solutions that provide an enjoyable experience for our users and promotion for artists. Without users –- or artists –- we don't have a service.
This must be resolved and the Internet Radio Fairness Act is a step in the right direction. It's creating a conversation about a serious issue facing the services that have helped countless hard-working bands reach a global audience. There are artists that have seen their album sales skyrocket after having their music available on Internet radio services. Online audiences are also more likely to interact with artists through reading bios, lyrics, looking up concert dates and sharing their experiences via social networks. Online services are not just about streaming content, they are about engaging communities around artists and their content
We need to work together to solve the problem. Whether it is adjusting the royalties paid out to labels and artists, or fine-tuning the way ad units function so revenue can be made up with less intrusive but more salient ads, it will require the entire industry to work together to find the right answer. The solution will not be found in a silo.
The music industry has reached a turning point in the way artists reach fans and new audiences. Myxer will continue working to bring music to the world. If the sides cannot agree on this measure, then it's time to sit down and have a productive conversation and realize the fate of the industry rests with us. We're ready to do our part.

The Ramsar Bulletin Board, 5 February 1999
Gwydir wetlands in NSW, a public-private partnership. Working in partnership, four farming families, two conservation groups, the New South Wales State Government, and the Commonwealth Government of Australia have developed an historic Memorandum of Understanding that will maintain conservation management of the unique Gwydir wetlands, 500 kilometres northwest of Sydney in Australia's semi-arid regions. The Ramsar designation will be announced on World Wetlands Day. [2/2/99]
More National Reports, when will this ever end? Bulgaria, Georgia, andSri Lanka this evening. [4/2/99]
United Kingdom adds eight new Ramsar sites. The United Kingdom has completed paperwork on 8 new Ramsar sites that were designated between June 1997 and March '98, and these have now been added to the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance, bringing the UK's total number of sites to 127, covering 530,305 hectares. In England, there are Somerset Levels and Moors (6,388 ha) and Duddon Estuary (6,806 ha); in Scotland, Ronas Hill - North Roe & Tingon (5,470 ha), East Sanday Coast (1,515 ha), South Uist Machair & Lochs in the Hebrides islands (3,352 ha), and Ythan Estuary & Meikle Loch (314 ha); and in Northern Ireland, Strangford Loch (15,581 ha) and Carlingford Loch (827 ha).
In addition, two existing Ramsar sites have been extended: Broadland, to 4623 ha, and River Crouch Marshes, now to be called "Crouch & Roach Estuaries (Mid-Essex Coast Phase 3)", to 1,735 ha. The Convention now has 965 Ramsar sites worldwide, covering 70,471,806 hectares. [30/1/99]
Integrated Coastal Management conference planned. A conference entitled "Integrated Coastal Management in the Mediterranean Region: Strategies, Solutions, and Technologies" is being organized by the Battelle organization with sponsorship by MedCoast and the Urban Harbors Institute. Set for Alghero, Sardinia, 4-7 May 1999, the forum will feature discussions and sharing of experiences, panel presentations, problem-solving sessions, and demonstrations of technologies and approaches applied to sustainable coastal development. An attractive Web site has been set up to provide further information: http://www.battelle.org/environment/technology/ICMconference [30/1/99]
"Wetlands of Argentina" published. Wetlands International - Americas has published Los Humedales de la Argentina: clasificación, situación actual, conservación y legislación, which covers biological and functional issues of wetlands, as well as social and economic factors. More information can be had from Daniel Blanco, head of the South America Programme of Humedales Internacional - Américas (email@example.com). [30/1/99]
"Vulnerability Assessment of Major Wetlands in the Asia-Pacific Region". That's the name of the project of the Asia Pacific Network (APN) for Global Climate Change, coordinated by the Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist (ERISS), that held a workshop on the vulnerability assessment of the Yellow River Delta in Beijing, China, on 22 January 1999. Wetlands International-China Programme has kindly provided a very brief report on the meeting, with contacts for further info, right here. [29/1/99]
Danone-Evian/FFEM workshop on "Closed Sea Deltas". Tim Jones, Ramsar Regional Coordinator for Europe, recently attended the first workshop of the network of 'Closed Sea Deltas' established under the Danone-Evian/FFEM programme, 20-23 January 1999, in Campagna Lupia, Italy. Delta managers from the Rhône, Axios, Po, Danube, Volga, Ebro, and Dnepr attended, and here is a very brief report. [26/1/99].
Inventory of potential Ramsar sites in France. At the request of Ramsar's Administrative Authority in France, and under the supervision of the French Ramsar Committee, the National Natural History Museum has recently completed an updating of the list of wetlands in France (including its Overseas Départements and Territories) which meet the Ramsar Criteria for Identifying Wetlands of International Importance. The final report, published in December, lists 119 wetlands in Metropolitan France and a further 39 sites overseas. It includes an annotated list, ordered by administrative region, and simple maps are provided to show the location of each site. It is expected that this work will lead to new site designations in due course. France currently has 18 Ramsar sites, of which 3 are in overseas Départements. Copies of the report are available from M Charles THIÉBAUT at the Administrative Authority, the Direction de la Nature et des Paysages, Ministère de l'Aménagement du Territoire et de l'Environnement (Fax: +33-1-18.104.22.168). [26/1/99]
World Wetlands Day not far off. In October 1996, the Ramsar Standing Committee officially designated World Wetlands Day for 2 February of every year, the anniversary of the signing of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971, as an opportunity for governments, organizations, and citizens to undertake big and small actions intended to raise public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular. In February 1997, only a few months later, a considerable number of countries undertook a wide range of activities aimed at using WWD to raise public awareness, and the worldwide response in 1998 was enormous -- just the WWD activities reported to the Bureau cover more than 50 countries.
The great hope, of course, is that the response will be even better in 1999. The suggested theme for activities is "People and Wetlands: the Vital Link", the same as the theme of the 7th COP set for May in Costa Rica, but of course that is a suggestion only. The Bureau, groaning under the burden of the preparations for COP7, will try to contribute in a modest way by providing a press release/statement from the Secretary General which may, as in the past two years, provide a useful source for quotations, and we will again make available both the same WWD poster from last year and a little brochure of suggested activities (request from Montserrat Riera, email@example.com). We also plan to use WWD to make available more background and biographical material on the five winners of the Wetland Conservation Award, who will be honored at the COP.
Once again, we would like to urge all groups and individuals who are planning activities of any kind for World Wetlands Day to let the Bureau know about them, either as plans beforehand or reports afterwards or preferably both, and we will post them on a special section of the Ramsar Web site (http://ramsar.org/wwd_index.htm). You can see our reporting on WWD 1998 at http://ramsar.org/wwd98_report.htm and /wwd98_plans.htm. [12/1/99]

A blend of our best reserve Syrah components of 2009. Extensive blending trials over several days enabled us to make a Syrah which we feel "has it all". Big, bold, smooth, and built to last.
"This is a selection of the best Syrahs from Jaffurs. There's normally about 150 cases made. The nose is very complex with meat, black pepper, and dark fruits. Full and dense but very balanced with fresh acidity and a long, long finish. This has complexity and intensity but subtlety. Better in 2013."
95 Points
James Suckling
"The 2009 Syrah Upslope is a selection of the estate's six best barrels. Waves of intense dark fruit wrap around the palate in this thrilling, intense Syrah. The style here is decidedly towards the massive and muscular, but all of the elements take shape beautifully in the glass. This is a superb showing from Jaffurs. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
95 Points
Vinous / Antonio Galloni
"Intense spice, pepper and dried wild berry notes give this a tight focus, and the wine unfolds slowly, turning supple and revealing a hot brick and roasted herb edge that promises to be more forthcoming with a year or two. Best from 2013 through 2023. 144 cases made."
