A water war is brewing in Portage County.
Some Town of Hull homeowners say they're running out of water and blame a new well in Stevens Point for their problems.
But Stevens Point city leaders say that well has nothing to do with it.
Residents in the Town of Hull say since the new well became fully operational about a year ago, more than 60 homeowners have reported water shortages.
"To date we have had 33 wells that have had to be replaced lacking water, and we've had another 34 that have had pumping problems," said John Holdridge, Town of Hull chairman.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that all of these wells in the neighborhood are going bad just like that," said Brian Mandeville of the Town of Hull.
But the mayor of Stevens Point disagrees.
"I think the situation that a lot of those sand points would naturally be failing on their own and needing to be replaced with a drilled well is highly likely," said Stevens Point Mayor Andrew Halverson.
According to the city's research, all of the homes having water problems were built around the same time, meaning those private wells were drilled decades ago.
The city argues those wells need to be replaced.
"The science that we do posses indicates that well number 11 hasn't done anything to contribute to any of those concerns that are arising right now in the town of Hull," added Halverson.
The residents of Hull strongly disagree.
They tell Newsline 9 the next step is to hire a hydrologist before winter to find out whether the water table is dropping.

- Happening placeKnowmystuffDined on 9/19/2014Went with a party of 12. Our Group had many items including burgers, pasta, salads and sandwiches. All were good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor serviceHawkeyeDined on 9/12/2014Horrible service. Had a large group but we sat and watched as numerous tables got drinks and their food much quicker than us. Then when our food arrived it was dried out or cold, only good choice was the pizzas. Very disappointed we had been here before on another trip to Las Vegas but we will not be returning after this poor service.Special Features:
- worth one time, not againOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/5/2014the cnf charge is absolutely ridiculous. the $36 goblet drink was good but no way there is even 2 oz of alcohol in it, most drink menus tell you how many oz of liquor but not here. My meal was excellent, recommended by the waiter and she was very good and honest about what was good on the menu and what she did not recommend. salmon my husband had was a little dry and because he has garlic allergy they had to compensate, but a simple lemon butter dill dressing should not be beyond any chefs capability and they charged him for a bit of bacon they put with the salmon we were there for dinner and then back for dessert - dessert prices are horrendous, 3 scoops of ice cream and a 1 inch cube of red velvet cake for $16. would we go back - no
- Started rocky, ended great!JazzieDined on 8/30/2014If you can manage to get through all the red tape of calling and e-mailing people to organize your party, there's light at the end of the tunnel! Opentable definitely kept our reservation in the forefront, but talking to the reps at Sugar Factory directly was a HASSLE! The day of, SF called to let me know about their reservation policy. Even though noisy, it fit the occasion! Our server Bre was fantastic, gift bags I ordered and paid for prior to were on the table and food came out hot! The signature drinks were not as hard-hitting as I would have liked so be sure to get an extra shot for the $40 you pay for it! Nice show piece though with candy and dry ice in the drink. Definitely will come back here on the next trip to Las Vegas!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Who doesn't like candy ad alcoholFoodisgoodDined on 8/27/2014My cousin and I were recently in Vegas and booked reservations at the sugar factory lounge and grill. We ate around 6 pm out on the patio so we were able to get a great view of the strip as well as the bellagio fountains. Although the drinks are pricy they are delicious my cousin had the lollipop drink which was pretty sweet but delicious all the same I had the white gummy and fishing out the gummy worms was just as much fun as drinking the drink itself. For dinner my cousin had the club sandwich and I the Tuscan carbonara pasta both were great I'm not a huge fan of bacon but there wasn't an overwhelming amount and the cranberry mayo on the sandwich was great as well! Our service was good and the overall experience was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great!mistyDined on 8/26/2014Good food great service fun time, sat outside and watched water show at bellagio.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, not so great servicemj1064Dined on 8/26/2014In a nutshell, the food was awesome, so good that it outweighed the poor service. My meal was tasty, filling, and prepared perfectly. On the other hand, the staff were unfriendly. They seemed annoyed that they had to actually do their job by seating us, taking our order, and check on us. When asked is a food substitution could be made, the waitress answered us very rudely about how it would be impossible...really? I'd go back because I liked my meal and the location was fabulous. Go at lunch, it's not very busy, so you probably have a chance to sit out on the patio which is right across from the fountains of Bellagio.Special Features:
- Not as good anymoreVegasDinerDined on 8/25/2014We've been to Sugar Factory before but this time around was not the best. Not only was their menu down to one page, it was a poor selection than what they used to have. They also have this "rule" that if you don't have half your party there, you can't get seated. So they make their guest wait in their waiting area while they have our perfectly reserved table sitting there empty. The guests that arrived could have had drinks while they waited at the table we had reserved but the hostess refused to seat us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible Food QualityNsheth91Dined on 8/23/2014Went for my birthday this past weekend. Worst meal I've had in Vegas. Ordered the TGB Pasta, and got a bowl of spaghetti with marinara. Tasted like it was straight from the tin. Added chicken and garlic bread, breast of chicken was added on side, bare, and garlic bread was not toasted at all. No one at the table liked their food. They have made their menu much smaller than when I last visited 2 years ago, and the choose to rely solely on their location.
- Great DrinksAWJablonVIPDined on 8/23/2014Really great drinks! Service way to fast. Didn't finish appetizer when main meal coming.Special Features:
- Always good foodVisitorDined on 8/22/2014Have eaten at this Sugar Factory on several Vegas trips. Booked through Open Table and have always been seated quickly. The waitstaff is very friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. We got a couple of drinks, as my wife loves the martini flavors. I stuck to beer. The portions are large, so go with an appetite or plan on sharing. We split a mixed greens salad and got a meat pizza. Both were excellent and fresh. Food came out promptly. This Sugar factory has a greay view of the Bellagio Fountains. It can get quite loud with the strip traffic and a full dining room. That's about my only complaint.Special Features:
- Fondue Great - Service not so muchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014We were taken to a table. The waitress came over and practically rolled her eyes at us when we said we were only ordering dessert and no drinks. When she brought my "Overcooked Bacon" to the table (that is the actual name of the item) I asked what the white stuff was in the little bowl. Her answer "I don't know". Then she walked away. Good thing I don't have food allergies. The bacon was ice cold. Is that how it is supposed to be? I couldn't ask our server because the only time she came back was to deliver our bill. The fondue was delicious and the bacon was good, even though it was cold. It was good dunked in the fondue as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014I've dined at Sugar Factory several times and this last time I had dinner was not impressed. Very limited menu, server was overwhelmed, and my friend didn't get her steak till after we were all finished eating our food. This menu was especially NOT gluten free friendly so I could only have the vegetable salad, plus it was my birthday dinner with 6 girls so I was very disappointed! I will not be returning, but you do have an incredible view.Special Features:
- My First Time!TarenDined on 8/21/2014I had never gone there before and decided that's where I would like to go for my birthday dinner. I had a great time. We sat outside and had lots of fun people watching. The gentleman who was our waiter was extremely nice and helpful. My club sandwich was good and had a unique difference from other restaurants I've been in. My boyfriend said he had a very good pizza as well. It will be a place that I will return to when I go back to LV next 2015.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great and friendly service!!NickynickDined on 8/21/2014Delicious food- very friendly staff. Great for our girls night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sugar OverloadFriends2014Dined on 8/16/2014I've had dinner in many Las Vegas restaurants and as lively as Vegas is, I've never experienced that type of noise level........except at a club. The noise level was horrific!! I know music adds to the ambience, but this was ridiculous. We couldn't hold a conversation, because it felt like screaming. Food choices were limited and quite frankly grossed me out. Even tables and chairs seemed too small, so there was little room eat. I also noticed waiters kept hitting the chairs, because there was no room for them too walk. As for the service, our waiter was a sweet kid and he did a great job. No complaints there.Special Features:
- TheBritDined on 8/15/2014Atmosphere is distinctly French café, bountiful servings, flavorful food. Perfect spot to people watch and cool down while awaiting the spectacular fountain show across the street at Bellagio. Service could be much better. wait staff were young and seemed more interested in socializing with one another.Special Features:
- Sugar FactoryKatillac2VIPDined on 8/14/2014This has been my fourth visit to the Sugar Factory, and it is my favorite place in Las Vegas! Try the hamburger...the white chocolate bun is amazing.Special Features:
- Favorite PlaceSugarSugarDined on 8/14/2014We have made it a tradition to eat here at every visit. Love trying something new on the menu at every visit.Special Features:
- Sugar is sweetLuvdiningintheUSADined on 8/13/2014Novelty cocktails are cool, food was very good and hot.Special Features:
- MehHonestFoodieReviewsDined on 8/11/2014The location, ratings, and website indicate a much higher quality diningn experience than we had. I'm a burger kind of guy and their "signature" burger fell short in a big way. The patty was tough and bland even at medium rare. The toppings were fairly standard. The best thing I could say was that the white chocolate bun was inventive. She had the chicken fingers as her meal. The breading was good but several of the chicken pieces were dry. We also had the over cooked bacon (this is a good thing) and the spicy dill pickles - both were worth it. Overall, you could get a better meal for your money but if you really want to see the water show at the Bellagio, they've got the location - just don't expect much from the food.
- not up to hypehardtopleaseDined on 8/9/2014I heard a lot about the food and drinks at this restaurant. The food was not anything special. I would rather eat fast food than eat here. They do have a lot of interesting drinks - alcoholic and non- but they are overpriced and when you actually receive them not that special. I would try just about anywhere else. The service is also very slow.
- Worst Service Ever!!!Marigonzalez05Dined on 8/8/2014My family and friends spent my sons 11th birthday there last year and had such a fun time in the store. I thought it would be fun to actually eat at the restaurant this year for his birthday. Right off the bat the waitress was slow bringing our drinks. Our food was late to the table after about an hour wait. My daughters friend and my husband were drunk from earlier in the day so I took them back to the hotel after about 20 minutes there. However, my friends that stayed behind were cut off from drinking not because they were drunk, but because of miss identity. They were treated like criminals and completely humiliated by the manager. All of this in front of my son and friends. The manager could have handled the situation so much better
- Still great..SaabyDined on 8/3/2014Visit Vegas annually and this place is always on the list. Menu changed slightly....less choices, but whatever you get is always great! Don't expect a quiet lunch or dinner EVER! Lively and right on the strip! Great place for lunch or dinner and reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great server-not enough serversFoodlovesmeDined on 8/3/2014Our server was great but he had so many tables tha our experience was poorly affected. My drink didn't come with the correct ingredients, our food wa alright, but again service was so slow that we just wanted to leave and go somewhere else. I heard such great things about this place, it was very disappointing. Especially since our meals was very costly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Customer service, what is that?love2travel2eatDined on 8/3/2014Chicken finger appetizer was extremely dry. When complained, we were told it is supposed to be this dry (if true, change name to chicken jerky!). We sent order back (with 6 pieces still in the baskets) and asked it to be taken off the bill. And you guessed it, it was still on the bill. No one apologized but when I complained, the manager came over to argue that since we had eaten 2 pieces of 8 pieces (2 orders of 4 piece each) he had to charge me. Mind you, with 8 people our bill was around $500 and I was asking for $10 item to be removed. Eventually he took it off but only after he made all sorts of excuses including since it was a room charge hotel was going to charge me $500 twice etc. "Poor service + poor food = few less customers!"
- I enjoyed itOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/3/2014There are a variety of cool drinks to choose from and the ambience is very hip and trendy.Special Features:
- Fun PlaceLuv4boysDined on 8/2/2014We brought are friends here for sone drinks and dessert. Sugar Factory did not dissapoint. Great drinks and dessert fondue was yummy and perfect for sharing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CelebrationVegasDined on 8/1/2014The drinks or the design of the drinks is what makes this place so great. The food is good, but the overall draw are the drinks. It's a bit pricey, but worth it if you are looking to experience something new in the drink department.Special Features:
- tourists welcomeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/1/2014tourist spot because people in the know stay away. the food is factory made and over-priced. foodies should avoid this place at all costs.Special Features:
- Good4evereternityDined on 7/30/2014I was at Sugar Factory last year when I was in Vegas. I enjoyed the experience a lot more. They had cut down their menu which is fine. The noise level in the restaurant is way to loud couldn't even talk to my sister without yelling to her. The velvet sundae was amazing. The caesar salad was ok, alot of lettuce for $20.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Drinks live up to nameCOCODined on 7/30/2014The drinks at the Sugar Factory are amazing if you like sweet drinks. We go to the restaurant when we're in Vegas just for the blow pop martini (which they now have to call sour apple martini because of copyright issues). There used to be a huge selection of food but they now went to such a small selection that we probably won't come back to eat; although the quality of the food is great. So go to Sugar Factory for the drinks, an appetizer, and the view of the Bellagio and you won't be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedVegasvisitorDined on 7/30/2014Food was pretty good, but drinks (even for the kids) were waaayyyy overpriced.Special Features:
- Enjoyable lunchjohn1516VIPDined on 7/30/2014We had a very enjoyable lunch. Food was good, service from Michael was outstanding. Great all around experienceSpecial Features:
- Not for kidsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014There was no kid menu. I feel in a place like that they need to have one. The retail store had adult items at eye level for the kids to giggle at. I felt that was so inappropriate. When you live in Las Vegas you don't say "Well it's Vegas"Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food, confused servicebirthdaydinnerDined on 7/26/2014Amazing food but the service was not very good. The waitress seemed annoyed/deal with the serversSpecial Features:
- Terrible service!LuvdogsDined on 7/26/2014I had a party of 8 guest show up for my birthday celebration. The service was extremely slow, but I understand it was a Saturday night. What happened after our dinner is what I'm upset about. 2 of my friends came late. They sat down at the table and wanted to order food. The waiter got the hostess and the hostess told us that they could not order food unless we stood back in line to wait for another table. We already had a table and spent close to $300 on our tab. Why did we have to leave and stand back in line when we already had a table? I never heard of such a thing. My friend talked to some guy in a suit and said that was unacceptable and he said that that's the way it has to be since we are busy. Are you kidding me? NEVER GO BACK!Special Features:
- food has not maintained high levelsGreggDined on 7/25/2014But if you want a fun scene this could be a good spot. Directly across from the water show. I only wish the food was at the level as the menu suggestsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not satisfiedLuv2EatDined on 7/25/2014I reserved a table for 6 people weeks prior to ensure we get a spot when we came and we still had to wait about 40 minutes to get seated regardless. Wasn't sure why the reservation was even taken if we still had to wait. Then we had a problem with seating because they were basically telling us we had to sit outside instead of providing a table that was first available indoors. We ordered several app's and individual meals for the group and were disappointed with most of the food we ordered. The food was overcooked and had not flavor. Their menu doesnt bring any creatively and doesnt give options that are worth coming to this American Brasserie versus any other american style restaurant.Special Features:
- All was good until...LovingVegas2014Dined on 7/22/2014We were having a great time at the Sugar Factory, until our quiet table of 2 was interrupted by a large group of kids and adults that some genius hostess decided would be a great idea to split the party between our table. My husband was banged in the back by the young boy every few minutes as he was squeezing in between us to talk to his parents then one almost sat on my lap and did sit on my handbag as I was trying to enjoy my dinner, the parents were screaming at each other in some other language and screaming across our table at their kids.After getting banged, sat on and not being able to talk to each other due to screaming we asked for our check and left. They manager offered us free drinks but we wanted out asap.Special Features:

And is the New Inquiry a professional stepping stone, a means to get a job at a more established magazine?
"No," she says, firmly, "that's a huge misconception. I had interned for the New Yorker as a freshman and I thought it was the worst working experience of my life. I just don't feel comfortable honouring a legacy – that just kills my interest." She says that over the last few years she's "become very politically radical, because I'm exposed to people who are changing my ideas. There is an unstructured population of politically sophisticated young people that are in debt, atomised and speak from an important critical position – there is a simmering need to congregate."

For my photography, I've been studying the work of Duane Michals. He's famous for these photo sequences, which tell stories in a cinematic way. I bought a few of his books, and I've begun to think about sequences of my own that suggest a narrative.
I'm always curious to hear how something was made—though I have no interest in why an artist did something, or what his work means. Like with Jackson Pollock: I'm always interested in what kind of paint and canvas he used, I just don't want to know what he meant. You're supposed to expand your mind to fit the art, you're not supposed to chop the art down to fit your mind."—In Conversation: Steven Soderbergh — Vulture

Here's a first look at Josh Charles talking to David Letterman about the death of his character, Will Gardner, on "The Good Wife."
The appearance, which will air at 11:35 p.m. Monday, was taped earlier in the day.
Letterman: "What the hell happened?"
- Josh Charles tells The Sun: 'I didn't know it would be this intense'
- 'The Good Wife' surprise earns its 'shocker' label
- 'The Good Wife' Season 5, episode 15: 'Dramatics, Your Honor' [Pictures]

- Maryland celebrities [Pictures]
- Sun Magazine photo shoot: Josh Charles
Charles: "What an intro!" (audience laughs)
Letterman: "You got killed off!"
Charles: "That's what you gotta do to get on the Letterman show. I had to do that, I had to get killed off to get on your show."
Letterman: "Now, you knew this was going to happen?"
Charles: "Yeah, we've known this since last year. It's been one of the greatest gigs for me in my entire career, but at the end of last year, my contract was up and I was just ready to kind of move on…"
Letterman: "That's a very courageous thing to do."
Charles: "Ah, you know – "
Letterman: "In show business, don't you think?"
Charles: "It might be. Yeah, I guess it is. It is tough to leave stability and leave sort of structure…"
Letterman: "Yes, but moves like this always pay off. I think they're always for the better."
Charles: "Well, I could just tell you that I think what we decided last year was to come back and do these 15 this year, which I think really was great for the show and also was a really proper goodbye to the character, so that was special."
Letterman: "What has been the reaction of fans, friends, family to this? It was all secretive, right? You couldn't tell anybody."
Charles: "It is kind of amazing. We've been able to keep it a secret for an entire year…Yeah, I told some family members that I know could keep a secret, which is a very
Letterman: "Yeah. What about neighbors and people on the street?"
Charles: "Uh, no, you know, there's the neighbors – today, I will say this. When I went out to – I went downstairs, and I saw by our mailbox, the neighbors across the street, who I don't even know, had left my wife and I a really beautiful note just saying that we feel like a family member had died and we know this is just a TV show and all that. But it was, I have to say, I was very touched by it. A lot of the, you know, the response on Twitter has been much the same and I just want to say to the fans that, you know, I really appreciate all of your comments." (searches to look directly into camera) "I don't know where I'm looking, but I just want to tell them that I really appreciate that. Sorry, Dave." (Charles, audience laugh)
Letterman: "That's all right."
Charles: "But I really do. It's meant a lot. I get invested in characters in TV shows, too, so. Everything's going to be ok! I'll call your mom later." (Letterman, audience laugh)
Letterman: "Do you have, in the back of your head, a plan – you must have a plan of things you want to do now?"
Charles: "Oh, I have no plan." (audience laughs)
But in fact, Charles has all kinds of projects that he's involved in.
Stop back later after the show, and I'll talk about those.

Motor Luge Homebuilt Motorcycle
The MotorLuge started off as a 1985 Honda Interceptor 700 motorcycle. It was built by morphing the seating position of a sports car with the riding characteristics of a motorcycle. It was built in hopes to allow someone to really feel how fast a motorcycle can accelerate because of this morphed seating position. Speeds of 85 MPH were hit during testing, however it is difficult to control, especially with the large 700cc motor on your back and the not-so-intuitive steering, you have to turn left to go right.
Joshua Tulberg built this hybrid motorcycle when he was studying at Ventura College. His father, Carl helped him locate Motion Inc., a New Jersey-based company, to donate linear actuators used to keep the MotoLuge from tipping over.

The Group Purchasing Committee became an official standing committee of the chapter in 2004.
Our primary activity this year has been the renewal of the Ovid LWW Total Access group purchase, now with 53 members. In September 2004, 19 libraries joined together on an Ovid Nursing Package that includes shared access to CINAHL and 22 full-text books of interest to nursing and allied health. A survey is being developed to determine additional vendors/databases of interest and various committee members are in discussions with vendors such as StatRef, MDConsult, and EBSCO regarding other database trials and potential group purchases.
A survey was done asking PNC members for their input on an institutional membership. The idea was presented at the annual meeting in October where it was agreed to in theory but sent back to the committee for clarification of some of the details.
There are plans for a Group Purchasing website that will provide details about formal group purchasing arrangements, tips for libraries wanting to pursue smaller group purchases, and informal arrangements that may be offered by the various vendors. The goal is to have this website functional by early 2005.
Committee members are; Cheryl Goodwin, Co-Chair, Pamela Murray, Co-Chair, Susan Barnes, Judith Hayes, Tori Koch, Kathy Murray, Catherine Poppino, and Greg Rowell.

Designation is a mark of excellence, not only for the collection but also for the institution since, it must demonstrate its ability to care for a collection of national importance. The award places the RA's collections on a par with other non-national museums, such as the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Courtauld Institute.
Royal Academy Winter Exhibition Catalogues now online
The Royal Academy of Arts Winter loan Exhibition catalogues from their inception in 1870 to 1939 have been digitised and are now available to search and browse online.
For the first 100 years of its existence, the Royal Academy organised just one exhibition each year, the annual, Summer exhibition. It wasn't until 1870, coinciding with its move to Burlington House, that the RA began organising an annual loan exhibition of Old Masters and works by recently deceased British artists, known from its inception and for many years as the Winter Exhibition. After World War 1 the Winter Exhibitions programme became far more ambitious and included major surveys of Italian, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, French, Persian and British art. Also for the first time, illustrated catalogues were produced.

The Supreme Court's Term recently ended with major rulings on affirmative action, voting rights, and gay rights. Those cases received lots of media coverage. But beyond the splashy headlines, there are some important things the average observer doesn't know about these landmark decisions.
Affirmative action
The affirmative action ruling addressed whether and when the Constitution permits public universities to use race as a factor in making admissions. Some more quick legal background: the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment says that the states (including state universities) must provide individuals equal protection of the laws; the same standards governing affirmative action probably apply to private, non-governmental universities too because of federal civil rights laws.
Most people expected the case – which involved the University of Texas – to strictly limit affirmative action in a five-to-four ruling with the conservatives outvoting the more liberal Justices. That made sense, because in the ten years since the Court last ruled that universities could account for race in admissions, it has moved significantly to the right. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who had been regarded as the "swing vote" on the Court, retired and was replaced by the more conservative Samuel Alito. On other ideological questions, the new conservative majority has been pretty aggressive about limiting or overruling important precedent with which it disagreed.

The Senate has a new majority whip.
Republicans in the senate voted unanimously to elect Sen. John Wiles of Kennesaw to the position.
Wiles, who had been acting whip, had been the chief deputy whip for the 2010 Legislative Session.
He rose to power earlier this month with several members of the GOP were ousted from power after voting against the so-called "sick tax,"
That bill, HB 307, imposes a 1.45 percent hospital tax on patient revenue. Former whip, Mitch Seabaugh of Sharpsburg resigned from his position over the controversial vote.
Since then, Wiles had been the acting whip.
"I'm honored and humbled that my colleagues called me to serve the people of Georgia and the Senate in this leadership role. I will continue to serve the people of Georgia, my district and the Republican Caucus with conservative values and integrity," Wiles said.
April 30th, 2010
9:48 am
Wow what a disappoint Wiles has become. And how sad that the Republican caucus has rewarded him for his lack of principals. How do you claim to be conservative, vote for expanded government, higher taxes, more fees and then get rewarded. I tell you how, our so called Republicans and Conservatives have sold their soul's for power and prestige.
I for one am truly disappointed

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I direct your attention to a Drug court funding bill (see the substitute to HB 1053).
It provides that for certain drug and alcohol related offenses, there shall be an increase in fees that will fund county drug court programs.
In the House, listed offenses included those related to underage drinking.
The Senate, with the special attention of Senator Wiles, removed those provisions.

Well, I guess teenage drinkers will have a "special friend" in the General Assembly's top echelons now. What an ethical sleezefest the incumbent party is. Can't wait to flush them all out come November.

If you're going to vent about supposed lack of principles, at least spell it correctly. "Principal" means the chief administrator of a school, or the amount borrowed on a loan, such as "Georgia conservative have covered up their spending and paid for their tax cuts by borrowing millions in principal through bond issues." "Principle" means a dearly held belief, such as "Georgia conservatives follow the principle that it is easier to get elected by cutting taxes and letting the delivery of government services go to hell than it is to govern responsibly."

Underfloor Thermal Insulation; Why? Part II
In the first part of this blog I described the make up of my house extension floor 'stack-up', including a 100mm thermal insulation layer. Apart from increasing the cost and construction complexity of the build, what thermal advantage does this bring? To determine that a common methodology is employed, simulate and compare the thermal behaviour without insulation vs. with insulation and quantify the difference.
First thing to note, if all the heat dissipated by the radiator in the room went down through the floor there would be linear relationship between the total thermal resistance of the floor vs. the resulting room temperature. In reality things are a little more complex than that. There are a number of different heat loss paths that should be recognised before appreciating the effect of the under floor thermal insulation. As shown in the animation, heat rises from the radiator due to buoyancy, hits the ceiling then, as it cools as heat is lost to the ceiling and walls, the air cools and drops (as it is relatively cold) down to floor level where it is then picked up by the radiator up-draft and recirculates. I had initially expected to conclude this blog by showing that the resulting air temperatures where considerably warmer with underfloor thermal insulation compared to without. The thermal conductivity of the insulation layer is about 1/10th that of the concrete (and proportionally much more expensive).
I was somewhat disappointed (initially) to find out that my intuition was lacking correctness. I then took solace in the fact that the subsequent journey of discovery to analyse exactly -why- would be educational (the only way to learn is through mistakes, something Victorian engineers understood, something that has been lost in todays society). The air temperature within the room with (left) and without (right) floor insulation was:
The expected thermal stratification is seen in both cases, this is expected, hot air rises. The average temperature in the volume of the room that would be occupied though is about the same in both cases. Before I got on the phone to the government building regulation agency however I thought I'd better investigate this a bit more. Plotting the surface temperature of the floor did highlight a difference:
Further investigation of the heat loss split, something that is readily available from a CFD based simulation in FloVENT, indicated that out of all the heat being dissipated by the radiator, only about 17% was lost through the floor without insulation, ~10% with. With such a relatively small proportion it's not that surprising that it has little 'backing-up' effect on the room air temperature. What it does do is to keep the cold from the bottom of the floor stack-up at bay, allowing the air to do a better job at heating the floor, if not heating itself up any further.
A lot of the heat was conducted out through the window and out through the cold side walls. As my extension takes shape maybe I'll come back to this and simulate with and without thermal insulation in the wall cavity. Might also see if window triple glazing is worth it compared to double glazing.
I'm sure there will come a day where such simulation becomes an integral part of EVERY built environment design, right down to where best to place radiators and air conditioning supply terminals. We waste too much energy heating (or cooling) the outside air through inefficient housing design and resulting heat (or cold) loss to the outside ambient. Simulation software will play it's part in rectifying that in our green and verdant future.

What about the thermal comfort of a person in the room, with and without insulation?

Good idea Cathy. I'd just mentioned air temperature but in terms of comfort it would be far better to look at comfort temperature in the occupied space of the room which includes the effect of mean radiant temperature, air temperature and air speed. There you go, Part III coming up!

Movie review: Meat, the thinking person's slaughterhouse documentary »
This is a pretty obscure film, but I've LOVED Frederick Wiseman's documentaries* ever since I saw Welfare in law school. So when I learned he once pointed his camera at the inner workings of a slaughterhouse and meatpacking facility in 1970s Massachusetts, I knew I had to watch it. Not only does Wiseman show cattle and lambs rounded up, fed, slaughtered, and turned into meat products, but we also see footage of animal auctions, the rather mundane administration of the company, labor meetings, and marketing discussions—Meat made me feel like I was a part of every aspect of a meatpacking company.
Wiseman refuses to provide narration, thereby forcing the viewer to take what they will from Meat. Thus, the movie plays like a seemingly unbiased, unemotional exposé of an industry typically unexposed to the vast majority of the country. The veil between animal and meat product is the disconnect animal rights activists fight against on a daily basis—despite what the dairy industry would have you believe, I'm pretty sure none of their cows in California are happy. In lifting the veil, Meat felt to me like a precursor to PETA videos. But while that horrific footage will never find their way into a high school classroom or aired on television due to their overtly politicized message, Wiseman presents Meat so evenhandedly that one could actually imagine such market penetration, much to the meat industry's dismay.
But oh dear god; watching Meat is no less unsettling. Trust me when I say Wiseman doesn't pull any punches. I'm stating the obvious, but the slaughterhouse scenes are beyond ghastly. I can't describe my revulsion at watching a cow's skin, intestines and head being ripped from its body. I'm bracing myself for the inevitable nightmares; the film's visceral impact is crushing.
I also have to admit feeling really bad for the employees on the slaughterhouse floor, dismembering cows for 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. Can you imagine the psychic trauma of that job? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre analogized slaughterhouse workers to a nation besieged by bloody images from Vietnam for very, very good reason. You might think "Well, they should just get another job," but keep in mind that it's rarely a seamless process to transfer jobs, particularly in this job market, particularly in certain parts of the country and especially for the undereducated. Anyhow, in addition to screaming "WHY ARE THEY CUTTING UP THAT VERY CUTE LAMB?" Meat also made me ponder the abusive psychological and economic power dynamic involved in the production of every steak.
Put it this way: if PETA videos are the porno of animal abuse videos, designed to grab the viewer's attention and heighten their emotions, Meat is the calm, investigative PBS special. This is the thinking person's slaughterhouse documentary—there's a sentence I never thought I'd write—best for educating your friends and family about the reality of meat production and animal commodification. In this respect, I thought Meat was an utterly engrossing masterpiece. Alternately, in the sense that Meat required me to watch a lot of grisly, gruesome footage of harmless creatures being killed and dismembered like a real-life horror movie, I really hated it.
Damn. Someone owes me some vegan booze for making it through this one! I promise my next installment will be more upbeat! [Ed note: If you would like to watch Meat, Jonas reports having seen a copy at Lost Weekend Video.]

Notes from a slaughter class :: The Ethicurean
This is an interesting essay on "a course focused on the slaughtering and processing of meat animals" by a food science grad student. The author was and remains an omnivore.
What do you think, vegans? One of the commenters on The Ethicurean argues that "a short happy life" that ends in "a humane death" is preferable to living in the wild and "dying of starvation or cold in the winter," or "at the claws and teeth of a [predator]." I would say, That's a lot of assumptions you make there, commenter "Walter Jeffries," that 1) we can and do give domesticated animals happier lives and more humane deaths in slaughterhouses than they'd otherwise have; and 2) the only alternatives to slaughterhouse murder are bad-but-natural deaths in the wild. What about sheep and goats kept just for wool? What about horses? There are plenty of farm animals that have long and happy lives that don't end in terror or pain.
But omnivores—and this is a point that Jake Lahne, the author, makes in his essay—are willfully myopic about such options; their desire to eat meat will trump all other considerations. When hasn't it? When was the last time your closest animal-eating friends/relations refused to eat meat because the animal was raised on a factory farm? When did they last turn down cheese because it came from dairy cows, producers of veal calves? Anyone?
I thought not.
