Temirkanov 75th Birthday Concert
Thursday 31 Oct 2013, 7.30pm
Royal Festival Hall, London
Yuri Temirkanov conductor
Vilde Frang violin
Prokofiev, Symphony No. 1, Classicalbiography | programme note
Prokofiev, Violin Concerto No. 2biography | programme note
Prokofiev and Rachmaninov were like chalk and cheese. Both were brilliant composer-pianists, but whereas Prokofiev was an iconoclast who delighted in railing at tradition, Rachmaninov inherited Tchaikovsky's mantle without demur. They shared a genius for indelible melody, however; Prokofiev's being typically cool and sleek while Rachmaninov preferred super-heated luxuriance.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/t...uJp7RqsFuMJYbIA missing half-inch really adds up.
A card-carrying Subway devotee is fighting back against sub-par sandwiches, filing a lawsuit alleging the fast-food giant ripped off customers for more than $142 million with its short Footlongs.
Jason Leslie, 32, of Marlboro, NJ, says he was spurred on to sue the sandwich maker yesterday after he saw an article in The Post last week that revealed the $5 Footlong subs often dont measure up.
Leslie, who carries a Subway Rewards card and estimates having eaten about 50 of the sandwiches a year since he was 18, bought a Footlong meatball sub four days later for $8 that ended up being short of 12 inches. They advertise in all these commercials, Footlong, Footlong, Footlong, and now I feel like an idiot, the used-car dealer told The Post. I cant believe I fell for that trick.
INCHING FOR A FIGHT: Jason Leslie of Marlboro, NJ, estimates he has eaten 50 Subway Footlong sandwiches each year for the past 14 years.
The sandwiches are anywhere between a half-inch to an inch shorter . . . I feel cheated.
A foot is 12 inches. They call it the Footlong, making people believe theyre getting a foot-long sandwich, said attorney Stephen DeNittis. If they were calling it the Big Sandwich, or the Big Kahuna, this case wouldnt have been filed. DeNittis, who represents Charles Pendrak and John Farley, said he planned to file a similar state suit in Philadelphia today.
The lawyer hired an investigator to measure sandwiches at 17 Subways near his office, and found that all sold Footlong subs that were less than 12 inches, he said.
Preempting the inevitable "I used my 'anatomy' to confirm this shortcoming" from the usual Bahamian, WV and SCarol suspects.

The Santiago Cathedral and the Guggenheim Museum will be the highlights of your visit to Bilbao.
Bilbao is situated in the north of Spain, in the Basque region. The Guggenheim Museum is the most important tourist attraction. The museum building is an architectural masterpiece designed by the US architect Frank Gehry and built on the site of a former shipyard. This building of chrome and metal houses a fabulous collection of modern art.
The cathedral and the Basque Museum are also worth a visit. You can really enjoy the local culture in Casco Viejo, a charming old district with a lot of open-air markets. It is always fun to wander around the large number of stalls.
Bilbao is a good starting point from which to explore the Basque region. You can opt for the sea and head to San Sebastian (one of the most beautiful cities in the region), to a typical fishing village such as Hondarribia or Elantxobe, or to a popular surf destination like Zarautz or Mundaka where you won't have to wait long to catch a good wave. Alternatively, you can head south to visit the famous Rioja wine region near Vitoria and Logroño, where you can enjoy the beautiful countryside and some great wine.

Shurtape PC-657 Premium Grade Duct Tape is a 14 mil premium-grade co-extruded cloth duct tape used in high performance motorsports applications, pre-manufactured housing and RV assembly (seaming bottom boards), sealing HVAC ducts, and protection during metal peening operations. This duct tape has excellent adhesion and tack characteristics, can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, and is very durable. Also referred to as a motorsports 200 mph duct tape. Stocked in both black and silver colors. PC 657 comes with Shurtape's Polyblended CO-EX technology with is a co-extrusion process which melds polyethylene, cloth and adhesive in a single, high-temperature step which results in a permanent, airtight bond (creates added strength which will not delaminate).

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

It has been nearly a year since Virginia's governor announced plans to close four of the state's five training centers by 2020, but some state legislators believe the process needs to be slowed down.
The training centers, which at one point housed more than 6,000 people, provide services for people with disabilities in an institutional setting. There are now fewer than 1,000 residents across the five centers, according to a state census.
In preliminary plans announced last January, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell slated the Northern Virginia Training Center in Fairfax as the second to close, completing a transition to community-based services by June 2015. Under a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice, the state is required to present a more detailed plan by August 2013.
The settlement agreement does not mandate that the centers be closed, but does require that the state do more to provide adequate funding and services to support individuals with disabilities in community-based settings. State officials are proposing to close the centers in part as a cost-saving measure and in part to comply with federal requirements to provide the least restrictive care option for people with intellectual disabilities..
Sen. Barbara Favola (D-Dist. 31), who represents the Great Falls and McLean area, is working on legislation aimed at getting the General Assembly more involved in the planning process with the goal of ensuring that current training center residents don't fall through the cracks.
"There has to be community-based placement already up and running in order to close the centers," she said. "As philosophically ideal as this might be, we have to be very careful in the implementation."
Local communities do not yet have the capacity to absorb dozens of training center residents into the community, she said, and in many cases communities also need money to help prepare.
"We've done ourselves a disservice if we simply close the training centers and the services and the supports aren't there," said Fairfax Del. David Bulova (D-Dist. 37), who plans to provide support for Favola's legislation on the House of Delegates side.
Funding the transition will likely be a major discussion point in the General Assembly as well. The Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board would likely need to absorb more than 100 new clients who are now living at training centers, including 88 at the Northern Virginia Training Center, according to CSB Executive Director George Braunstein.
That means about $2 million more a year to support services and about a $10 million investment to get sufficient housing in place, Braunstein said.
"If the [state] money isn't there, it's going to put a lot of pressure on Fairfax County and other local governments," he said.
CSB staff are already planning for the transition, Braunstein said, but the governor's proposed timeline feels a bit unrealistic.
"There may need to be a little more time in order for this to work right," he said. "We don't want to be pushing people out the door until they find the right placement that meets their needs."
Favola also believes it is very important for state officials to work with the parents and legal guardians of training center residents, as some do still want their loved one to reside at the training center.
Peter Kinsler, of Mount Vernon, is one of those parents. His 37-year-old son resides at the Northern Virginia Training Center because he needs around-the-clock care, Kinsler said. His son functions between the level of a 6-month-old and a 1-year-old, he said, and has behaviors that warrant constant supervision.
While he believes that families who want community placement should be able to get that support from the state, he doesn't think it's fair to make it an either/or proposition.
"I don't see what the benefits [of community placement] are for somebody functioning at this level," he said. "He flourishes where he is."
Kinsler hopes state officials will take a step back and consider options that preserve the training centers for those who prefer that option.
Bringing pressure for more community-based supports is The Arc of Virginia and its local chapters throughout the state. Earlier this month, The Arc released a report called "The New Virginia Way" that strongly supports the move to integrated, community-based services and calls for adequate state funding for those services.
There is already a lengthy waiting list to receive Medicaid funding for services. Locally, there are more than 800 people waiting for funding for community services, and more than 6,200 statewide.
The settlement agreement that is prompting the closing of the training centers also requires that the state provide support to thousands more people over the next decade, but The Arc is urging legislators to do more.
The Arc views the settlement agreement as an opportunity to make more progress in the areas it has been fighting for years.
"For decades, Virginians with ID/DD and their families have been fighting for access to community-based services that are so desperately needed," Howard Cullum, president of The Arc of Virginia, said in a released statement. "Many have been institutionalized as a result of inaction. Now is the time to make things right."
The report also advocates for a greater Medicaid reimbursement level for service providers and a re-evaluation of the system to ensure it is as effective as possible.
While he doesn't agree with The Arc advocates on many things, training center supporter Kinsler said that additional money would go a long way in quieting the philosophical debates that are pitting parents against one another.
Virginia ranks very near the bottom of U.S. states in its funding of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
"The system needs more money. It's not more complicated than that," Kinsler said.

We want to hear from you!

July rains help meet peak power demand
Hurricane rains and peak power demands made for an interesting July, to say the least. As Acting Manager of TVA's River Forecast Center, John Hoover certainly had his hands full. First, the Atlantic hurricane season kicked off much earlier than usual: rains from Tropical Storm Cindy fell across the Valley early in the month, followed by the remnants of Hurricane Dennis in mid-July. "That storm system was persistent," says Hoover. "It kept generating rainfall in our region for the better part of a week."
As it turns out, this extra precipitation was pretty well-timed. When thermometer readings inched steadily upward a couple of weeks later, TVA managers were able to move water through the reservoir system while generating much-needed hydropower. "It really helped that we had an accurate forecast upon which to base our decisions," explains Hoover. "This heat gradually crept into the Valley from the west and we were able to plan our hydro scheduling accordingly. We knew the hot days were coming and that allowed us to efficiently allocate our resources."
Sizzling summer temperatures resulted in the highest demand for electricity ever recorded in TVA's seven-state service area. The previous record was smashed by more than 1,500 megawatts on July 25 — and then this brand-new milestone was exceeded the very next day. The TVA system met a demand of 31,935 megawatts (without a single sustained interruption to its customers) at 4 p.m. CDT on July 26, when the average temperature across the Tennessee Valley region reached 95 degrees.
Once again, the river system proved its worth in meeting this record demand. This time of year, many people naturally appreciate the Tennessee River for the recreational benefits it provides. But, as Hoover notes, the reservoir system plays a key role in keeping the lights on — and the air conditioners running — all across the Tennessee Valley: "Because it can be brought on-line almost immediately, hydropower is extremely well-suited to respond to peak power demands. Those are the situations when you need all of your generating assets working together. Hydro was a key part of our mix for those sweltering days in late July. Nearly all of TVA's hydro generating units were operating and produced more than 4,700 megawatts to help meet the record power demand."
Speaking of which, Hoover says the public should be aware of the fact that reservoir levels are where they are because of the guidelines set forth in TVA's new reservoir operating policy — and because of the conditions unique to this particular year. "Despite the record-setting power demands in July, most of the tributary reservoir levels were near the upper limit of their expected seasonal range on August 1. Tributary levels will continue to gradually drop for the remainder of the summer as TVA meets the downstream flow commitments specified under our new operating policy."
Because the new policy has changed the way TVA manages the system, it's understandable that Valley citizens might be uncertain about how their reservoir is operated — and where they can reasonably expect reservoir levels to be this time of year. For answers, Hoover suggests that reservoir users visit TVA's Reservoir Information Web site. "You can see the expected elevation throughout the year and track actual midnight elevations by choosing your reservoir from the pull-down menu and selecting 'Operating Guide.'"
Protecting your reservoir and shorelines:
|TVA's Karen Stewart studies a map of Cherokee Reservoir. Before she and her fellow Watershed Team members review a permit application, they must make certain that the applicant owns or possesses the deeded right to use the land.
When some folks who live along TVA-managed reservoirs learn about what Karen Stewart does for a living, they jump to the conclusion that she'll make it difficult for them to do what they want to do. But Stewart sees her job as a Land Use Representative on TVA's Holston-Cherokee-Douglas Watershed Team in a different way.
"My job is to listen to customers and figure out how we can help them make the improvements they want to make in a way that is compatible with TVA's responsibilities and the interests of other reservoir users," says Stewart.
Stewart's primary focus is on carrying out TVA's responsibility under Section 26a of the TVA Act, which requires that TVA approval be obtained before constructing docks, boat ramps, commercial marinas, and other water-use facilities. Her job is to review Section 26a permit applications, using a process designed to ensure that any potential impacts to public benefits — such as navigation and flood damage reduction — are acceptable.
The first step, says Stewart, is to make sure that applicants are in possession of the proper land rights to apply for a permit in the first place. "You'd be surprised how many folks plan to do something in a location where they don't have legal authority to use the land. No matter how well planned or environmentally sensitive a project is, we can't approve it if the applicant doesn't own or have land rights over the property in question. If someone is thinking about buying shoreline property, we can help them make sure the appropriate land rights exist."
TVA sends out information packets that describe the kinds of information needed in order to process an application. They include a typical sketch of a water-use facility that residents can go by when preparing a basic drawing of their plans. "We work closely with potential applicants to make sure they have good information about our requirements before they formally apply and pay the $200 fee for the reviewing process," explains Stewart.
Stewart says she'd like members of the public to know that she and her colleagues do everything they can to help them get approval, including providing assistance in completing the application paperwork: "We're certainly not looking for ways to turn people down. Our goal is to put quality facilities on the reservoirs, in locations where permit requirements can be met. Many times, we're able to suggest modifications that will result in applications being approved — when the original plans would have been turned down."
Stewart says perhaps the most important part of her job is explaining TVA land-use policies to the public: "I have a great comfort level with the rules we have in place. They're there for a reason — to balance the requirements of recreation, shoreline development, and resource conservation. When I'm faced with a tough decision, I try to look for solutions that take into account the many benefits provided by TVA-managed reservoirs — from navigation, flood damage reduction, and power supply to scenic beauty and reservoir health."
Upper/East Tennessee readers take note: the address and phone number for the Morristown office of the Holston-Cherokee-Douglas Watershed Team has recently changed. The team's new address is 3726 E. Morris Blvd., Morristown, TN 37813-1270. The new phone number is 423-585-2120. The team also has an office in Gray, Tennessee, located at 106 Tri-Cities Business Park Drive. The phone number is 423-467-3800.
A Reminder: Ask TVA First
Be sure to apply for a permit before tackling any project that alters the shoreline — from building a dock, pier, boathouse, or launching ramp to stabilizing the shoreline or installing fish attractors, irrigation pumps, or other utilities. You'll also need a permit if you plan to remove trees or make other changes that affect vegetation on TVA-owned land.
TVA's shoreline construction permit Web site has information about the permitting process and TVA requirements. You can also contact your local TVA Watershed Team or call 1-800-TVA-LAND for assistance.
|Volunteers remove the contents of a mobile home, deposited by floodwaters on Watts Bar's Duck Island.
So far this year, TVA Watershed Teams have been involved with or have served as sponsors of 18 different cleanup events all across the Valley. Approximately 5,900 volunteers have collected around 180 tons of trash and debris. Here are just a few examples:
Around 1,700 volunteers from nine schools and 12 civic organizations participated in the Keep Bristol Beautiful 2005 Great American Cleanup. TVA served as one of the sponsors of the monthlong event, which resulted in about 19 tons of debris and trash being collected from streams and other locations in the Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia area.
Citizens from five counties recently came together to raise community awareness of the need to protect the Duck River — Tennessee's most recently designated State Scenic River and one of the most biologically diverse waterways in the Valley. Volunteers from Hickman, Maury, Marshall, Bedford, and Coffee counties picked up and disposed of close to 10 tons of litter during the one-day event. TVA donated bags and gloves.
Several dozen members of the Watts Bar Lake Association organized and participated in an unusual shoreline cleanup effort: removing an entire mobile home and all of its contents, which had been washed away by floodwaters and deposited along Duck Island in the Spring City area. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Rhea County Sheriff's Department also pitched in to tackle the mess, while a local marina stepped up with a pontoon boat to transport volunteers to the site. TVA furnished manpower and shared in the cost of renting a barge and crane, which were provided by a Watts Bar dock builder at half the regular price.
Cherokee and Douglas have joined the list of reservoirs featuring Lake Watch programs — modeled on the familiar "Neighborhood Watch" concept, but designed specifically for waterfront communities.
This volunteer effort is based on a partnership between the public, TVA Police and Watershed Teams, and local law enforcement agencies. Citizens, businesses, boaters, and other reservoir users receive training in safe boating and crime prevention and are encouraged to report suspicious or dangerous activities.
|(L to R) Bob Freeman and James Vess—members of the Shoals Area Lake Watch—install a Lake Watch sign at the Rockpile Boat Ramp on Pickwick Reservoir.
The goals are to prevent boating and water-related accidents, reduce criminal activity such as theft, and support water quality by investigating dump sites and illegal discharges into reservoirs.
"An informed and observant public can enhance our law enforcement efforts," says Tom Alford, Manager of TVA Police Security Projects and Risk Assessments. "Reporting violations and providing information for the detection and investigation of crimes and prevention of water-related accidents is a great way for citizens to be involved in providing better security for their communities."

TVA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are conducting a survey to identify trends related to recreational boating in the Tennessee Valley. The 20-question survey covers a broad range of topics — from where and how often you boat to how boating accidents and law enforcement efforts are affecting your boating experience.
The goal, according to TVA economist Ron Riberich, is to provide a better and safer environment for boaters. "TVA and the Corps will use the survey results to pinpoint locations that are experiencing the most boating pressure. This information will help us prioritize areas for funding so that resources — education, assistance, and enforcement activities — are allocated where they're needed most."
If you own a boat, please take a few minutes to complete the online survey. Your responses will be kept confidential. Surveys also have been mailed to a sample of registered boaters across the Valley.
|Bicentennial Volunteers Inc. President Doug Hulme (right) greets visitors to the Norris Visitor Center.
TVA recently opened a new visitor center at the top of Norris Dam in East Tennessee. The facility offers visitors an opportunity to learn about hydropower operations and the integrated management of the Tennessee River system.
"We expect thousands of people to visit the center this summer," says Doug Hulme, president of Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc. (BVI), a TVA retiree and service organization. "This is a great way to enhance TVA's presence in Norris while providing information about what we do and who we are to people in the community and those passing through the Norris area."
The visitor center is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. It's staffed by local BVI volunteers.

It's not something you really like to think about as you plunge into a river or reservoir to cool off on a hot summer day. Are there organisms in the water that could make you sick?
Well, yes. There's always that possibility. No body of water can be completely free of disease-causing bacteria, but you can protect yourself and your family by being aware of the risk.
States in the Tennessee Valley set limits on acceptable levels of E. coli and/or fecal coliform bacteria in recreational waters. These bacteria show that the water has been contaminated by animal or human waste, which may cause illness.
High bacteria levels at recreational areas on TVA-managed reservoirs often come from waterfowl. Droppings from geese and ducks can foul both the beach and the water nearby — a good reason not to encourage these birds to hang around by feeding them. Other potential sources of bacteriological contamination include runoff from land grazed by farm animals, failing septic tanks, and malfunctioning wastewater collection systems.
Every summer, TVA tests about 250 of the most heavily used swimming sites for bacterial contamination. Ten samples are taken at each site within a 30-day period to establish an average for the indicator bacteria. Typically, swimming areas and popular canoe sites are monitored every year, while boat ramps and less-used canoe sites are monitored every other year.
That adds up to a lot of samples, but it's the right thing to do, according to Rebecca Hallman, a member of TVA's Aquatic Monitoring and Management Team. "Recreation is an important objective in operating TVA's integrated river system. TVA operates over 100 public recreation areas throughout the Valley, including boat launching ramps and campgrounds and day-use areas with swimming beaches. So monitoring the bacteriological quality of the water is good stewardship."
If the bacteria level at a TVA-operated recreation area exceeds state standards, TVA will post a warning sign, investigate the cause, and take appropriate action to remedy the problem, says Hallman. At non-TVA sites, TVA will notify the owner/operator of the possible health risk. Monitoring results are shared with the states and used by TVA's Watershed Teams in their efforts to protect and improve water quality.
Hallman offers this advice to reduce your chances of becoming ill from recreational contact with bacteria-contaminated water. "Bacteria levels usually go up after it rains due to runoff, so it's a good idea to wait 48 hours after a rainstorm before swimming in reservoirs and streams. Also, look around before you swim. If you see feathers or droppings from geese, cloudy water, or other signs of a water quality problem, find another place to swim."
Swimming advisories for Valley reservoirs are available from TVA's Reservoir Ratings web page. Just choose the name of your reservoir in the pull-down menu under "TVA Reservoir Monitoring Results." For more detailed information, or for information about advisories at other locations, check your state's environmental web site or contact your local health department.
TVA scientists have recently confirmed the presence of a freshwater diatom (a single-celled algal species) in the reaches of river below Watauga and South Holston Dams.
Its taxonomic name is Didymosphenia geminata, but it is commonly referred to as "Didymo." No one's exactly sure how it got here, but it could be that human activity or waterfowl was the culprit — unwittingly transferring it from one waterbody to another. However it happened, it's not good news, according to TVA scientist Tyler Baker: "Any time a non-native species is introduced to an aquatic environment, there are likely to be implications. We will be watching closely to see how Didymo affects Valley waterways."
Didymo thrives in cool, clear, nutrient-poor water, where it tends to form massive blooms that result in algal mats. Believed to be native to northern Europe, Canada, and other regions in the Northern Hemisphere, it appears to have recently exhibited a greater tolerance for different conditions, gradually expanding its geographic range. While it has been found in some streams in the Western U.S. — as well as in the White River in Arkansas — this is the first confirmed instance of the diatom occurring east of the Mississippi River.
Most often found on the bottom of streams and rivers, Didymo attaches itself by stalks to the gravelly bottom of the stream or riverbed — smothering rocks and submerged plants. "This is a concern for a number of reasons," explains Baker. "It reduces the area of clean substrate upon which fish nest and lay eggs. The resulting change in habitat could conceivably cause a shift in the types of aquatic insects present. It also tends to outcompete and limit the growth of native algal species, many of which are food sources for aquatic insects — which, in turn, are preyed upon by fish and other creatures." Didymo also has caused problems by clogging water intakes in British Columbia streams, according to Baker.
Didymo seems to become easily established in lake-fed or regulated rivers (below dams), where stable water currents are likely to promote further growth by transferring plenty of nutrients to the mat surface. Cold tailwaters (the areas immediately downstream of dams) and streams are the most likely candidates, says Baker: "Apalachia is at the top of my list — given Didymo's habitat preference. We'll also be closely watching other reservoir tailwaters and streams throughout the Valley. It could easily find a home it likes at Norris, Blue Ridge, Nottely, and possibly Chatuge or Tims Ford tailwaters."
The good news is that TVA monitoring efforts have not yet indicated any recent declines in fish or aquatic insect populations in the Watauga or South Holston tailwaters. "We conduct annual sampling in these tailwaters," says Baker, "and we have quite a bit of historical data that should tell us a lot about densities and composition. That'll be a big advantage when it comes to spotting any trends that might be attributable to the proliferation of Didymo."
|Senator Bill Frist, Senator Lamar Alexander, Congressman Zach Wamp, Congressman John Duncan, and Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and TVA at the groundbreaking ceremony for the replacement lock at Chickamauga Dam on June 18, 2005.
TVA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a groundbreaking ceremony on June 18 for the construction of a replacement lock at Chickamauga Dam.
The new lock will play an important role in the continued growth of the East Tennessee economy, says TVA Chairman Bill Baxter. "The Chickamauga Lock serves as a gateway for the transportation of many kinds of goods coming into and leaving the eastern part of the Tennessee Valley, and it also provides access for thousands of recreational boaters each year.
"Commercial traffic through the lock links the upper Tennessee Valley with terminals and industries on the Mississippi, Ohio, Illinois, and Arkansas rivers, the Gulf Coast and the Great Lakes, so building a new lock will benefit the economy of other regions as well."
Work on road and utility relocations should begin this summer. Construction of a cofferdam for the new lock is scheduled to begin in 2008. (A cofferdam is a temporary, watertight enclosure that allows construction in an area normally under water.)
The existing lock has structural problems caused by concrete growth, resulting in the expansion and deterioration of massive amounts of concrete in the lock. TVA and the Corps of Engineers have conducted detailed studies of the condition of the lock and estimate that the existing lock will need to be replaced by 2012.
The new 110-foot by 600-foot lock will cut the average lockage time for a 15-barge commercial tow from 16 hours to about 2-1/2 hours.
The lock is owned by TVA and operated by the Corps of Engineers. Under an agreement between TVA and the Corps, the Corps has responsibility for funding, design, and construction of the new lock. The project completion date will depend on Congressional funding.
It was a task accomplished with military precision.
When the Tennessee National Guard's 196th Field Artillery Brigade needed to move tons of vehicles and equipment to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, for summer field exercises, they turned to a convenient, secure, cost-effective method of transportation — namely, the Tennessee River system.
It was quite a sight that May morning, when the last vehicle was loaded onto one of 18 deck barges and the tow boat began maneuvering away from the mooring at TVA's Raccoon Mountain Pumped Storage Facility in Chattanooga. The 1,200-mile river journey had just begun, but the work to make the massive move required many hours of careful coordination between the Guard, TVA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Canal Barge Company — the privately-owned marine transportation company in charge of the actual shipment.
Two Guardsmen traveled with the tow for security; the rest of the personnel traveled to Fort Chaffee by bus. Some of the vehicles and equipment transported included command and control vehicles, 2.5-ton personnel trucks, humvees, jeeps, first-aid vehicles, rocket launchers, and utility trucks. Vehicles were packed with personal gear, tents, radios, and other supplies. The loaded barges traveled on four river systems — the Tennessee, the Ohio, the Mississippi, and the Arkansas — to reach the final destination. In order to facilitate the process, the tow was given priority status for lockages; TVA also issued a temporary permit for the use of the landing at Raccoon Mountain. The Brigade conducted training exercises at Fort Chaffee until mid-June, at which time the river journey was repeated in reverse.
"As it turns out, this was the first such shipment of National Guard vehicles and equipment on the Tennessee River," said Sergeant First Class Winfred Smith, "but I'm pretty sure it won't be the last." As the individual in charge of overseeing the transfer, he has a great appreciation for the efficiency of this mode of transportation: "Shipping this same stuff by rail would have cost twice as much. Moving it over the roads in a convoy would have been problematic in terms of security. Taking into account everything from public safety to providing security for military equipment such as rocket launchers, this proved to be an excellent way to transport the material we needed for our training exercise."
If you spot one in the water, no big deal. If you run across one on land, you'd be wise to back off. This is one turtle with an attitude.
The Common Snapping Turtle has earned a well-deserved reputation for aggression. The ill temper it seems to display when confronted on land is well-documented: it will attack at the slightest provocation, raising its body high off the ground and snapping with such force that it lunges forward.
Although the turtle's ferocious nature might suggest that it is spoiling for a fight, this behavior is simply an excellent form of self-defense. In the water, the Snapper is quite shy, preferring to swim away if disturbed. But it feels threatened when encountered on land and will not hesitate to defend itself, striking repeatedly with amazing speed and force. Anyone with cause to be in proximity to this turtle would do well to recall the fact that one bite from a Common Snapping Turtle can easily snap a broom handle in two.
A lesson in turtle anatomy may help to explain this aggressive behavior. Most turtles are rightfully thought of as slow-moving, placid creatures that retreat into the protection of their shells if disturbed. For the Common Snapping Turtle, however, this is not an option: its body is disproportionately large in relation to its shell. In other words, it simply cannot fit! This vulnerability no doubt contributes to the Snapper's tendency to confront an enemy on land, where it is more awkward, exposed, and unable to easily escape.

TVA's Web site for children received more than one million hits in 2004.
Geared toward students in the 4th through 8th grades, TVAkids.com provides information on the mission and work of TVA, the generation of electricity, the Tennessee River system, TVA's dedication to a clean environment, and the history behind TVA.
Part of the site, a section called "Running the River," explains how TVA operates the reservoir system to meet the needs of Valley citizens — and does so in terms young people can understand. There are kid-friendly features on hydroelectric power, recreation, flood damage reduction, water quality, and navigation.
A new feature is a list of links to sites that offer ideas for fun science and energy projects — a good resource for those already thinking about their school's next science fair.
In addition to being a great source of information for students, the site has proven to be a valuable tool for teachers. It includes teaching guides, energy-education activities, and lesson plans. All learning activities have been field-tested in schools and coordinated with state departments of education.
These seven marinas are the latest marinas to be certified as part of TVA's Clean Marina Initiative. They now can fly a Clean Marina flag in recognition of their efforts to preserve and protect water quality in the Tennessee River system.
TVA's Clean Marina program helps marinas protect water quality by encouraging marina-sponsored boater education and reducing water pollution and erosion.
Currently, 48 marinas in the Tennessee Valley have achieved the high environmental standards required for Clean Marina certification. Click here for more information about the program.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this disease and the parts of the body it may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to Pituitary Gland Tumor. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen. Think of that menu as a roadmap to this full guide.
About the pituitary gland
The pituitary gland is a small gland located near the brain. This gland is often referred to as the "master endocrine gland" because it releases hormones that affect many bodily functions. The pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus, a small structure also near the brain that is connected to the pituitary gland. A pituitary gland has two lobes, the anterior (front) and the posterior (back), and each lobe is responsible for releasing specific hormones. These different hormones include:
Anterior pituitary lobe hormones
- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland, which helps regulate the body's metabolism
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) controls the hormones released by the adrenal gland that support blood pressure, metabolism, and the body's response to stress
- Gonadotropins (Follicle stimulating hormone or FSH and Luteinizing hormone or LH) stimulate production of sperm in a man's testicles or eggs in a woman's ovaries and regulate a woman's menstrual cycle
- Growth hormone promotes growth of the long bones in the arms and legs, thickens the skull and bones of the spine, and causes the tissue over the bones to thicken
- Prolactin stimulates milk production in women after childbirth
- Lipotropin stimulates the movement of fat from the body to the bloodstream
- Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) regulates the production of melanin, the pigment in skin
Posterior pituitary lobe hormones
- Oxytocin stimulates contraction of the uterus during childbirth and the flow of milk during breastfeeding
- Antidiuretic hormone (called vasopressin) increases reabsorption of water by the kidneys and allows a person to stay hydrated
Tumors in the pituitary gland
When normal cells change and grow uncontrollably, they can form a mass called a tumor. A pituitary gland tumor can be benign (noncancerous and located only in the pituitary gland) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread beyond the pituitary gland). Most often, pituitary gland tumors are noncancerous growths and are called pituitary adenomas. However, a pituitary gland tumor can occasionally act like a cancerous tumor by growing into nearby tissue and structures, or rarely, spreading to other parts of the body.
Pituitary gland tumors are NOT brain tumors, as the pituitary gland is located under the brain and is separate from the brain. It is classified as an endocrine tumor. However, a tumor in this gland can be very serious because a pituitary gland that does not work can cause problems with other organs. This is because the tumor starts in cells that make hormones, so the tumor itself can make too many hormones (called a "functional" tumor) or it can cause the gland to produce too few hormones. The tumor can also press on nearby structures, such as the optic nerves, limiting a person's sight.

Designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964, the Kastehelmi collection is inspired by its namesake: dewdrops. Toikka's healthy love of experimentation led him to create a fantastic droplet-inspired design, which he originally developed as a technique to conceal joint marks on the surface of pressed glass pieces. As seen in this detailed cake stand, the resulting surface structure creates a glistening effect that enhances the reflective beauty of the glass.

The attractive village of Ellmau and its pretty little neighbouring village of Going, have a special Austrian atmosphere, nestling between the Kitzbüheler Alps and the majestic Wilder Kaiser mountains. The relaxed village centre has a range of shops and is dotted with cosy bars and cafés. Near to home the Astberg skiing has some good runs and gives great views of the Kitzbühel valley. For the more adventurous the Hartkaiser links you into the fantastic Ski Welt circuit linking 8 resorts with over 250kms of piste. Ellmau really is a great choice of resort for everyone.The area is popular and the number of skiers is often large but the resort seems to absorb them all. The skiing is best characterised by gentle tree-lined runs that are best suited to the beginner or early intermediate. More advanced terrain has to be sought slightly further afield in the Ski Welt area. The area is certainly interesting to explore for even the novice skier and the sign posts can help to guide the skier on excursions to other ski areas in the Ski Welt.

As we get deeper into the summer, time is running short for the Romney campaign to pick a VP. But who will it be? Will it be a long-time member of the Republican establishment, or could it be (as Reid Wilson wrote) one of the new "young, attractive, and articulate spokesmen for the conservative cause?"
Here's a look at some of the people that could have a shot at joining the GOP's presidential ticket.

Erysipelas is a type of skin infection (cellulitis).
Erysipelas is usually caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria. The condition may affect both children and adults.
Risk factors include:
The infection occurs on the legs most of the time. It may also occur on the face.
Erysipelas is diagnosed based on how the skin looks. A biopsy of the skin is usually not needed.
Antibiotics such as penicillin are used to get rid of the infection. In severe cases, antibiotics may need to be given through an IV (intravenous line).
People who have repeated episodes of erysipelas may need long-term antibiotics.
With treatment, the outcome is good. It may take a few weeks for the skin to return to normal. Peeling is common.
The bacteria may travel to the blood in some cases. This results in a condition called bacteremia. The infection may spread to the heart valves, joints, and bones.
Other complications include:
Call your health care provider if you have a skin sore (lesion) that looks like erysipelas.
Keep your skin healthy by avoiding dry skin and preventing cuts and scrapes. This may reduce the risk for erysipelas.

Birmingham Coach Station is on Mill Lane in Digbeth, B6 6DB.
New City Centre Interchanges
Works are currently taking place in the Birmingham city centre to provide six new bus interchanges around the city core. Improvements will be made to streets, public spaces, shelters and on-street information. As a result some bus services will move temporarily before works are completed in August 2012.
There are four stages to the work:
- Carrs Lane Closure – already underway, bus services which stopped here have temporarily moved to stops on Albert Street and Dale End.
- Moor St Queensway/Priory Queensway closure (20 days approx) – scheduled for May. One side will close for resurfacing and the buses will move to the central reservation on Moor St Queensway. The buses which used Priory Queensway will use alternative stops in the city.
- Moor St Queensway closure (20 days approx) – scheduled for remainder of May and into June. This work will see resurfacing of the other carriageway and the bus stops move back to their original and final stopping points on Moor St Queensway. On completion of this work Moor Street Queensway becomes two–way.
- Closure of the junction of Bull Street and Corporation Street – this is a 55 day closure from June to alter this junction. This is when the buses will move from Corporation Street. When the junction reopens, the traffic on Carrs Lane and Lower Bull Street reverses direction so that traffic comes off Moor Street Queensway and up Carrs Lane, Lower Bull Street and turns right onto Corporation Street to join Old Square.

Getting What You Don't Deserve
Getting what you don't deserve? Too often, that's life, isn't it? Without question the 20 innocent children and 6 adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut didn't get anything close to what they deserved. Just like those killed in Aurora, Colorado, this summer, and more recently those killed in a mall in […] [Read More]

Just as Washington is revving up to impose limits on "tax inversions" on corporations seeking tax havens in other countries, along comes this study to show just how uncompetitive the United States already is.
The employees' strike and customer boycott against the Market Basket supermarket chain was ended with the reinstatement of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas after he bought control of the company from his cousin.
The Federal Reserve Bank will keep suppressing interest rates to near-zero rates for more than a year, according to Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes released August 20, despite talk about an "eventual normalization of the stance and conduct of monetary policy."
Employees on strike from Market Basket over the firing of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas were given until Friday to return to work or be replaced.
The maker of little Zen Magnets has decided to challenge the Consumer Product Safety Commission in a duel to the death.

Germany routed Brazil, 7-1 in today's World Cup semifinal. Many were sad. Others saw the opportunity for Holocaust jokes.
We saw something similar with the Nazi references on Twitter during the Germany-U.S. match. But today's round of jokes went a little further.

I've got a skeg to repair[replace] and would like a few pointers. I will attach a couple of pics to give you a idea of how much damage is involved. I plan to use a piece of 1/4" that is bigger than the skeg and cut it to shape after welding and blending is complete. Any advice or pointers are much appreciated. Btw this is a Mercruiser drive. One last thing , what would you charge for a repair like this ?

skeg repair.
That one is a beauty, I would have estimated more than one hour for that repair. I guess it depends if you would blast it with a MIG. I have done many of these type of repairs and I usually use the TIG with a copper backing plate having a double vee type of preparation. I also usually wrap the gear case with soaking wet towels to draw the heat away and stop the seals from being cooked out. The copper backing plate clamped on works well as a heat sink to draw heat out of the skeg. Most of the time these repairs require a fair amount of sacrificial build up and then blending to get the contours. It would be nice to make a cardboard template if there was a little more of the fin left. I think that repair might be 4 or 5 hours depending on exactly how pooched it is. I havent had a single person complain or whine about how long it took because i never roasted the seals or leg oil. These fixes would bankrupt a guy if just done for a set hourly rate because of the consumables used. At least that is my opinion.I have a welding addiction
...the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask
Sheesh I hope you wasn't holding your breath!!
OK...I probably would rather order a skeg for that if you don't have one.
If you used 1/4'' it would work fairly well, but you will probably need to build up a fair amount thoughout the middle besides grinding a lot also.
I have done a lot of creative methods such as that, but normally if it is too much to build up then I replace it with a replacement style skeg when available.
Whichever way you go I would still use what is left of that one there. It will be a stronger repair and less heat will go into the "bullet". IMO, no two are ever the same
I generally charge whatever the traffic will bear but, I wouldn't do that one like that for less than $250 if you have all the metal finished ready to paint etc.
I have been getting around $350-375 this summer for reworking Bravos that are generally twisted and scraped up with chunks missing.
Daniel, simply cutting off flush and welding on a skeg and then bondo over is not the kind of work my customers expect anymore. There are loads of folks that would be happy with that. I have pushed my way long enuff to get a reputation for doing work on the bigger and faster off shore boats. They break a lot more stuff and have more money.
Make every job you do a work of art. Few pits and nearly all grind marks sanded out. No low spots. Square and shaped perfect. If if looks like all it needs is slight filler and priming/painting you will get the nod and be first call every time. Many times now I have done a cav plat repair and had the customer point out the finish was better than the original on the opposite side.
I done a Y pipe fix on a 502, 2 Bravo 1's and a polished Sportmaster skegs last week.
This week it is a giant cav plate job on a Bravo III plus the skeg on it, and a Cobra skeg and an Alpha Gen II skeg as well.
They really don't pay nearly as well as the pontoon repairs we do but they come in so regular I ain't about to complain. If all I did this week was just those cast repairs it would still be better than having a boss IMO

I have done a lot of these skeg replacements....My customers are commercial fishermen with work skiffs and out boards...They are not so interested in looks as they are in function..I usually just cut a piece of 5086 alum plate and mig weld it on there...shape it with a grinder and sander...smooth it up a little and everyone gets back to work...This may not be the situation for you but it works very well ...the alum holds up and the skeg works as it is supposed to....hardly ever takes more than an hour...Your mileage may vary...good luck

Local Talk
Get answers about New York from local experts or tell us what you love about it.
I've got dogs. What are the best places in New York for being outdoors with pets?
Besides the obvious magnificent and world-famous Central Park, there are a wealth of great local parks where New York City residents can bring their favorite four-legged creatures for some fun in the sun. The famed Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village offers pooches a large dog run with water and tennis balls, as well as benches and some great people-watching for their owners. Dewitt Clinton Park in Hell's Kitchen is a quaint park with an abundance of plants and flowers, and a kiddie pool for the pups. Washington Heights Dog Park is another favorite local spot; a fairly large park with wood chips and plenty of shaded areas.
where do you grocery shop on RI
From Roosevelt Islander: "Residents now have greater choices for their grocery shopping on Roosevelt Island being able to choose from among the new Duane Reade, Gristedes, Deli on Main Street, off-Island retailers such as the Food Emporium on First Avenue, Trade Fair on 36th Avenue, Costco on Vernon B'lvd as well as online grocery stores such as Fresh Direct, Bread'nBie and Gristedes online."
What areas of New York are safe for walking around at night?
New York City has such a wide variety of neighborhoods, and many of them are safer than one might expect. While it is always best to be alert at all times, some of the safest neighborhoods at night in the city include the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, the West Village, also known as Greenwich Village, SoHo, and TriBeCa. The Financial District in downtown Manhattan is also a very safe neighborhood, and quiet at nighttime. The East Village and Lower East Side also tend to be safe at night, due to the bustling nightlife in these areas.
Is New York a good place for families?
It depends on what you're looking for. The schools run the gamut, and unless you're close to Central Park, it's going to be difficult to teach your children how to do things like ride a bike in the busy city streets of New York City. But, as far as safety is concerned, there's no need to fear the big city more than most other places in the United States; New York has an overall crime rate of 30 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America, and one of the lowest in the nation for its size. With a diverse population, loads of museums, and no end to culture, New York is a great place to raise a family if you prefer the city to the country or suburbia--and you can afford the expense that comes along with it.
I'm relocating. What's the weather like in New York?
The climate of New York, New York features hot summers, cold, sometimes snowy winters, and relatively mild springs and autumns. Summer temperatures tend to be in the 70s and winter when temperatures tend to be in the 30s. The average high temperature in July, the warmest month of the year, is 83 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average low temperature in January, the coldest month of the year, is 23 degrees Fahrenheit. On average New York receives 46 inches of precipitation annually. Rainfall is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, although May tends to be the wettest month.
My fiance will be working in the financial district near Wall Street. Where should we look for apartments to keep his commute manageable?
Virtually all of New York's subway lines will run within walking distance to Wall Street. Even trains from Long Island and from New Jersey will provide easy access to downtown.
