Dead & Buried
Reviewer: Rhett
Review Date: January 20, 2009
Released by: Blue Underground
Release date: 1/27/2009
Region A, HDTV
Codec: VC1, 1080p
Widescreen 1.78:1 | 16x9: Yes
Director Gary Sherman envisioned
Dead & Buried
as a dark comedy, but coming out in 1981, it was marketed full out as a splatter picture. The truth is that its neither too somber to ever be considered humorous, and too slow-moving to deliver traditional splatter thrills. Despite this indefinite characterization, the film has long endured with horror fans, and Blue Underground has heard the call.
Dead & Buried
marks their third entry onto Blu-ray, after the beautiful debut of
The Final Countdown
and the noise-laden opposite of
The Stendhal Syndrome
. Is this new release more the former or the later? Well, it shares the same lead from
The Final Countdown
, so thats a good sign, right?
The Story
Welcome to Potters Bluff. Its a quite coastal town, filled with foggy shores, small town hospitality and dead bodies! The film begins with a photographer setup on the beach taking scenic pictures just long enough for the viewer to get a sense of the films main location. Once that is done, a beautiful young lady arrives, offers to pose, and flirtatiously disrobes. Before the photographer gets a chance to do anything, he himself is photographed as a group of Bluff residents tie him up and beat him. As he pleads for his life, one of the surly members strikes a match and burns and mutilates his body. Who are these people, and why are they doing it?
Sheriff Dan Gillis (
James Farentino
) wonders the same question, as more and more of the town residents begin turning up dead. The recent influx of cadavers allows Gillis to get friendly with the local mortician, William Dobbs (
Jack Albertson
). Dobbs is an eccentric, who dances around the morgue listening to big band music while chatting with the dead. He is obsessed with his craft, and enjoys restoring the dead to their pre-mortem beauty. He is also good friends with Gillis wife, Janet (
Melody Anderson
), who Gillis finds out has been turned on to witchcraft.
Running out of motives for the recent slew of murders, Gillis begins to entertain the idea that witchcraft is behind it all. Could it really be that the dead have been reanimated by spells, or is there something more dark and sinister behind all the madness?
Dead & Buried
is a good film that is constructed from parts and clichés of better movies. The opening murder of the apparent main character recalls
, the climatic burial scene is right out of
, and the anonymous costal murderers and foggy location shooting resembles
The Fog
. Considering
was partially penned by Dan OBannon, whom at the time was a close friend of John Carpenters (his name is even one of the characters in
The Fog
), it is a wonder at how many story ideas for
The Fog
Dead & Buried
had been bled together. When the film is not playing off the successes of previous horror classics, it is recycling time tested genre clichés, like jarring musical queues, it was only an animal! shocks, random murders and characters carelessly sneaking up on each other. The film is at times insulting in how much it borrows from the genre staples, but it manages to still be effective thanks to solid production values.
The strong point of the film is undoubtedly Stan Winstons gore effects, as eyes are punctured with needles, corpses reconstructed from scratch and bodies rotting. Although it may not be as graphic as Savini or Bottin, it possesses a realism that has scarcely been equaled in cinema. Save for one fake insert shot (of which Winston had no part) every effects shot could pass for real. Even if the story languishes at times into clichés, Winstons effects always seem fresh, and are the main reason to see the film.
Although Sherman intended
to be a black comedy, the most effective moments of the film are the somber ones, like the first murder and the melancholic theme song. Winstons gore is great, but some of the more suggestive scenes, where the zombies slowly walk in silhouette, are just as effective in creating a strong atmosphere. Dan OBannon talks in a featurette on this disc about the power of atmosphere and location, and cinematographer Steve Poster manages to create a scary uncertainty to the town of Potters Bluff. Setting a film on the coast allows the filmmakers to play with hazy photography and intense fog, as well as to suggest a location with a deep and shady past. Like Carpenters coastal films,
The Fog
Village of the Damned
, the location is every bit as important as the characters in
Dead & Buried
. The film may not structurally make sense, but it certainly feels like a good horror film.
The end of the film ends on a zinger, and while it may be effective in terms of shock value, it doesnt hold up to close scrutiny and leaves a gaping plot hole into the entire film. If the ending revelation eludes the main character the entire film, why arent others facing this dilemma? The main character is the only one not to know the secret not because it is plausible, but simply because the plot requires him not to know in order for there to be an actual story. For a movie that Sherman claims was meant as an intellectual horror film, there certainly wasnt much time spent thinking up a suitable ending.
As it stands however,
Dead & Buried
is still a film that horror fans should appreciate. It appeals more to the gut than it does the mind, since the gore and atmosphere create an effectiveness that the clichés, borrowing and plot holes do not. Not bad, but not great either.
Image Quality
I had my qualms with the original DVD release and its extreme grain. There were so many dancing pixels in that fog that there were bound to be artifacting problems. With this new Blu-ray, the grain is still there front and center, but thankfully the added space and resolution of the format have made the grain much easier to tolerate. Unlike The Stendhal Syndrome, where the grain looked more like sharpened digital noise, this grain possesses an organic quality that seems to fit the original look of the film. Considering how shrouded in shadow the film is, the added contrast latitude here provides a lot more visual information that was previously blacked out. While the transfers and the blemishes seem to be the same between the Blu-ray and the DVD, theres one noticeable exception. The opening from-the-camera shots have optical viewfinder focus aids in the Blu-ray, whereas in the DVD they were clear. The gist that what is being shown is from the camera is already evident from the smaller image and rounded edges, so the added circles on the Blu-ray are more a distracting redundancy. Other than that, though, this is no doubt a pretty significant improvement over the previous DVD release.
Sound wise, Blue Underground adds two more speakers to their already overkill 5.1 DVD track with both DTS-HD and Dolby True HD 7.1 tracks. Still, they do once more what they did with their original mix, and thats provide some pretty enveloping audio effects. I noted in my original review that
The 6.1 track utilizes an effective amount of surrounds, whether it is the crashing of glass, sounds of the waves crashing, or the puttering of a vehicle. Dialogue is also separated nicely, particularly in a scene where Janet and Dan talk from different rooms and the sound alternates from front right and rear left speakers.
and thats again the case here. The added speakers dont seem to do much more, but the added space allotted to each track provides for a slightly fuller sound. With all the added space of Blu-ray, though, youd think Blue Underground would have been able to keep the original mono track, which is curiously absent from this release.
Supplemental Material
This Blu-ray disc opens up with another classy and effective menu screen from the Blue, although the pop-up buttons are pretty bulky and generic this time around. On The Final Countdown Blue Underground really made a menu structure that complimented the feel of the film, and hopefully they go back to that sort of style for their later releases. Content wise, though, this disc retains all the quality supplements from the previous release, minus a few still galleries. Heres what were talking about
First up are three commentaries. The first commentary is with director Gary Sherman, and he has an interesting amount to say regarding the film, his influences, the changes that were imposed on
and even the state of horror writing today. Sherman is a strong speaker, and does a good job at sustaining this track, even if it does contain a fair number of pauses. Less interesting is cinematographer Steve Posters commentary, which remains mostly technical. He divulges some good information on how shots were accomplished, but much of this had already been discussed in Shermans track. Still, Poster offers enough to make it a worthwhile listen. Co-writer.co-producer Ronald Shusett and actress Linda Turley provide a joint commentary for the third track. Shusett has plenty to say, and his recollections of the novelizations of his films is interesting. Turley is comparably fairly quiet, but still manages to get a few good anecdotes in. Blue Underground worker David Gregory moderates the three tracks, and deserves credit for making sure the speakers always have something to talk about.
There is forty minutes of video-based content, and the three featurettes included are all very entertaining. The best of the bunch is Dan OBannon: Crafting Fear, a 14 minute interview with the screenwriter who spends most of his time speaking about the horror genre itself rather than the film specifically. OBannon is a true intellectual, and his musings on the power of fright and the impact George A. Romero are much deeper than the traditional filmmaker interview. He is a great listen, and certainly speaks better than he dresses (nice bowtie). Robert Englund: An Early Work of Horror contains another memorable personality who is always able to mount some interesting anecdotes. Freddys alter ego talks about his beginnings in the industry and then more specifically the horror genre, and then speaks about his recollection of the film for the remainder of the 12 minute runtime.
Stan Winston voices the final featurette on the disc, which is a look into his effects work on the film. While Winson speaks well for the 18 minute entirety, the featurette seems a little less effective than other effects documentaries. The main problem is a lack of behind the scenes footage, since the featurette is mostly Winstons talking head. Compared to Savinis behind-the-scenes effects docs, this just isnt as compelling. However, Winstons warm and proud recollections of the effects are nice.
Steve Poster's still gallery was one of the few galleries that was actually worth going through on DVD, since it had a personal introduction that gave the stills more weight than normal. It's absence is the only notable omission from the disc. Thankfully the trailers are still intact, which memorably lampoon travelogue videos before showing the darker side of the Bluff. Overall, a fine batch of extras.
Final Thoughts
Dead & Buried
moves with the same pace as its fog rolling in off the coast, but as far as downer horror flicks go, its certainly one of the better eighties entries. It may be derivative of better movies like
The Fog
, but considering all the pillaging Robert Rodriguez did of this in
Planet Terror
, it itself has qualities worthy of imitation. This Blu-ray provides a nice visual upgrade from the previous DVD release, although it is still grainy as all hell. The audio sounds slightly fuller in 7.1, but the deletion of the mono track from this release compared to the DVD was a silly move. Unless you care about still galleries, the extras are still their same, enjoyable selves. Fans will likely want to upgrade, and those who havent seen the film should at least check it out. With Stan Winston gone now, this remains as good a film as any of his to celebrate.

*Because of the quality of the HD format, the clarity, resolution and color depth are inherently a major leap over DVD. Since any Blu-ray will naturally have better characteristics than DVDs, the rating is therefore only in comparison with other Blu-ray titles, rather than home video in general. So while a Blu-ray film may only get a C, it will likely be much better than a DVD with an A.

Still Galleries Missing Blue Underground Blu's - Why???
Can anyone tell me why Blue Underground keeps leaving off the still galleries off their blu-ray editions? This is really annoying
. Granted they're not a total loss to some. But when I upgrade to a blu-ray i like to have a full upgrade with it retaining at least ALL the extras from the previous dvd special edition whenever possible. That way I can get rid of my DVD copy. Is it cause Blue Underground blu-ray's don't have any more room for the still galleries? I mean it'd make sense since they include two lossless audio tracks. I'm sure this decision to not include all the extras is ticking off other blu-ray upgraders too. Maybe they should start making their blu-ray's two discs releases to allow more room and have the extras on disc 2. This is making me worried about their future blu-rays now especially for Maniac which will probably be my first Blue Underground Blu-ray purchase. Granted that is if they include everything....
Maybe a e-mail to Blue Underground is in order. Or a petition? Anyone else feel my dislike of their decision to not include all the extras???

Hellbound Heart
It's certainly a little disappointing that they keep leaving off some of the old extras. A stills gallery doesn't take up much disc space at all, so what's the reason for leaving it off? I'd be far more interested in these new editions if they just included all the old extras.

E-Commerce Platforms For Free
I was just wondering what some of you use when a client needs an e-commerce site that needs to be a bit more upscale. And when I say "upscale", I mean something other than Paypal. I checked out Magento but I see they charge a monthly fee, so I was hoping for something else that either charged a reasonable, one-time flat fee to set up, or something that is free.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

From what I know, Magento is free as in "free beer". They only charge a monthly fee if you have them host the software for you and provide technical support. If you download and install Magento on your own server you don't have to pay anything (except your own hosting fees, of course).
That said, I've used PrestaShop in the past. It's a little bit of a learning curve but I think it doesn't get much better with other ones. Other popular e-commerce software are osCommerce, ZenCart, and OpenCart. You can compare these and a few others on http://www.opensourcecms.com/scripts...gory=eCommerce

Employees of a northeast-side liquor store said two men robbed them at gunpoint Wednesday night, according to Fort Wayne Police reports.
Police responded at about 10:15 p.m. to an armed robbery at Belmont Beverage, 3309 N. Anthony Blvd., where two employees said a pair of men came into the store just before 10 p.m. armed with silver semiautomatic handguns, the reports said.
The employees said the two men ordered them behind the counter and demanded the cash from the register, according to the reports. After emptying the drawer, the robbers took the employees' cell phones and wallets, which contained debit and gift cards, the reports said.
According to the reports, Belmont management did not tell police officers or detectives how much cash the men took.
Store employees described the robbers as wearing masks, hooded sweatshirts and either sweatpants or jeans.
Outside the store, a witness told police he had walked to the store at about 9:58 p.m. to see if he could buy a cigar before the store closed, but the doors were already locked, which he thought was strange. The witness looked in through a window but did not see anyone, the reports said.
The witness said he noticed a white car in poor condition parked by the front door with its rear facing the store. A man was sitting in the driver's seat of the car with a hood pulled over his head. The witness left, returning only after he learned of the robbery, he told police.
The incident is the latest in a rash of robberies since November. Earlier Wednesday, a man robbed a PNC Bank in southwest Fort Wayne.

As more of our daily lives are lived in the digital world, the security of our personal information online has become of paramount importance. Recent high-profile data breaches and hacking conducted by both government agencies and private companies highlight the need to protect sensitive data from thieves and spies while also maintaining Americans' privacy.
Unfortunately, some are calling for sweeping new laws to exempt companies from existing privacy laws in the name of cybersecurity. They want "cyber-threat" information to be shared not just with civilian agencies but also with the intelligence community and the military. Others in the intelligence community have called on tech companies to ensure that the government can circumvent protections offered by encryption so that it can seize the data of users.
These laws must be carefully drafted to ensure that sensitive private information—financial, medical, political, or other personal information—is removed before it is shared. We must also make sure that the cybersecurity mission is vested in a civilian agency to prevent new cybersecurity information sharing laws from becoming another avenue by which the government can spy on Americans. And we continue to advocate against so-called "encryption backdoors," which, by ensuring your data is accessible to the government, make the Internet less safe for everyone.
The ACLU is at the forefront of efforts to push back against ill-considered cybersecurity proposals. We are also, crucially, leading efforts to craft affirmative cybersecurity policies for both government and the private sector that will help prevent cybercrime and hacking while also protecting personal privacy and civil liberties.

Goals: GRAIL flew twin spacecraft -- named Ebb and Flow -- in tandem around the moon to precisely measure and map variations in the moon's gravitational field. The goal was to reveal differences in density of the Moon's crust and mantle and will help answer fundamental questions about the Moon's internal structure, thermal evolution and history of collisions with asteroids.
Accomplishments: The twin GRAIL probes orbiting Earth's moon generated the highest resolution gravity field map of any celestial body. The gravity field map revealed an abundance of features never before seen in detail, such as tectonic structures, volcanic landforms, basin rings, crater central peaks and numerous simple, bowl-shaped craters. Data also show the moon's gravity field is unlike that of any terrestrial planet in our solar system. The map will provide a better understanding of how Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed and evolved.
At the end of an extended mission, Ebb and Flow were sent purposely into the lunar surface because their low orbit and low fuel levels preclude further scientific operations. They impacted at mountain near Goldschmidt crater on the lunar near side.

Garcetti and Bonin, whose 11th Council District includes the airport, praised police for reacting swiftly to the Nov. 1 LAX shooting rampage that left one TSA officer dead and three other people wounded.
"The speed at which they got there . . . and were able to save as may lives as they did was nothing short of heroic," Garcetti said.
The mayor revealed in the days after the incident that suspected gunman Paul Ciancia, who has been charged with murder, had 100 rounds of ammunition left at the time he was shot and wounded by police.
But Bonin faulted the airport for poor communication with stranded passengers, many of whom were left to wander Century Boulevard with no clear idea of what to do or where to go. Airport Twitter updates were largely useless to passengers who didn't use the online service or didn't know the airport's Twitter handle.
Signage and mobile phone text alerts might be more effective communication tools, the councilman said. Audience members, many of them Westside residents, applauded enthusiastically when Garcetti affirmed his opposition to a controversial plan to move the northernmost runway at LAX.
The mayor voiced support for the spread of air traffic to the underused LA/Ontario International Airport, but said that won't happen until Ontario drops a lawsuit that seeks to wrest control of the airport from Los Angeles World Airports, which manages the facility.
"I can't negotiate with a gun to my head, so please drop that [lawsuit] and we'll sit down and talk," Garcetti said.
Bonin said the city needs to move forward with an LAX modernization plan that would include terminal upgrades, a Metro rail link, consolidated rental car center and people mover.
Sharing the dais with Garcetti and Bonin were City Attorney Mike Feuer and City Controller Ron Galperin. Feuer said he plans to make the fight against gun violence a top priority of the City Attorney's Office.

Exhibit Unlocks the Mysteries of Degradation for the Next Generation
Special Guests LeVar Burton and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) to Attend Grand Opening
ORLANDO, Fla. (Mar. 11, 2013)—Orlando Science Center has teamed up with multiple industry partners to create "Corrosion: The Silent Menace," an interactive exhibit experience. Presented by the U.S. Department of Defense Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office, this exhibit examines the natural phenomena that lead to corrosion and material degradation and intends to inspire the next generation of infrastructure preservationists. Featuring computerized simulation games designed for middle and high school students, "Corrosion: The Silent Menace," opens on Saturday, March 16 at Orlando Science Center.
The VIP grand opening will include remarks and appearances by: JoAnn Newman, president and CEO of Orlando Science Center; LeVar Burton ("Reading Rainbow" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation"), corrosion spokesman for the DoD since 2009; Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL); representatives from NASA, NACE International and SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings; and corrosion engineer majors and representatives from The University of Akron.
"At DoD, we believe middle and high school students should be exposed to the challenges that all communities face as they preserve their local infrastructure," said Daniel J. Dunmire, director of the DoD Corrosion Office. "The causes of corrosion on our bridges, highways and pipelines are rooted in complex scientific processes, and this new DoD-sponsored science exhibit unlocks the secret of those processes and how they can be mitigated," he continued.
"One of our greatest strengths at the Orlando Science Center is presenting science concepts in a very engaging way so they connect with the public, especially children," said JoAnn Newman, president and CEO of Orlando Science Center. "This partnership has enabled us to raise awareness about this silent menace while also demonstrating the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning and the need to inspire the next generation of workers."
When visitors approach the exhibit, they will stand beneath a 150-square-foot trestle bridge made of rusty steel. Beneath this towering canopy of corrosion, they can choose from a menu of virtual experiences that graphically depict the science of corrosion and the industrial processes used to prevent it. These experiences are simulated using 3-D mapping technology courtesy of Ninjaneer Studios, an animation company located in Orlando.
In the game CORRSim Jr., students stand in front of a TV that tracks their movements using the Xbox 360 Kinect. Users take an interactive role in preventing corrosion by painting their bike and protecting it from the elements.
"By moving their hands in front of the screen, visitors can replicate the process of sanding, blasting, priming and painting" noted Anne Hanson, manager of Continuing Education and Outreach at The University of Akron's National Center for Education and Research on Corrosion and Materials Performance (NCERCAMP). "Each of these processes is vital when coatings are properly applied to ships, aircraft, cars, trains and commercial structures."
At the Corrosion Rack display provided by Battelle Memorial Institute and NASA Corrosion Technology Laboratory, students take a hand-held microscope and hold it up to different coupons or samples in order to appreciate how scientists collect data to discern how environmental and weather conditions can degrade materials in different ways.
"The coupons include different types of metals that have been exposed to harsh elements such as salty air, wind, rain and saltwater," Hanson said.
To help students understand the appearances of corrosion, different examples of the six forms of corrosion will be hidden around the exhibit.
"Students will assume the role of inspector and seek out specific examples of fretting, pitting and galvanic corrosion, for instance," Hanson said.
At the exhibit's Career Kiosk, students can hear from subject matter experts, government officials and students about the exciting opportunities and experiences that come with working in the corrosion prevention field.
"The kiosk allows visitors to understand the entire range of career specialties that comprise the field of corrosion science and engineering," said Susan Louscher, executive director of NCERCAMP. "At the kiosk, visitors can hear from inspectors, painters, technicians, corrosion engineers and scientific researchers that represent industry, DoD and universities with a corrosion engineering focus."
"Corrosion: The Silent Menace" will also feature artifacts from different sectors of industry and government to underscore the chemical, electrochemical and geological processes inherent in corrosion and degradation. This includes artifacts from a corrosion investigation performed by the NASA Corrosion Technology Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center to discover why the large Space Shuttle Crawler Transporter suffered cracking of its shoes.
The exhibit's grand opening coincides with NACE International's Annual Conference and Exposition, CORROSION 2013, held at the Orange County Convention Center March 17–21. More than 6,000 leaders from industry, government and academia will convene to discuss the latest technologies and issues, as well as make decisions on the most effective means of corrosion prevention. It is the world's largest corrosion expo with more than 375 exhibitors.
The exhibit is made possible by the U.S. Department of Defense; Orlando Science Center; The University of Akron; Bruno White Entertainment; Battelle Memorial Institute; CorrDefense; MVE Systems, Inc.; NASA; Reading Rainbow; NACE International; NACE International Foundation; SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings; Ninjaneer Studios; and Echo Artz.

One of the most useful microphone accessories is the pop filter. It is a layer of nylon stretched over a circular frame with an adjustable mounting bracket so that it can be attached to a microphone stand. The purpose of the pop filter is to shield the microphone from a burst of air pressure sometimes caused when singers sing words beginning with "p" or "b". The sensitive microphone will "clip" when the air hits the sensitive internal membrane.

This (still very alpha) tool attempts to create a FARR .alias file from a .chm file. The resulting alias consists of results that point to specific nodes within the .chm file.
Thus, FARR's searching/filtering capabilities may be applied to quickly navigate to certain places within .chm files for which corresponding .alias files have been created, installed, and configured.
How to Use
Basically the tool is applied to an existing .chm file to create a new .alias file. The resulting .alias file should be placed in an appopriate location and then possibly tweaked via FARR's UI. Detailed instructions follow.
At the moment, your machine must have hh.exe living in C:\WINDOWS\ for this tool to work.
Creating the new .alias file.
1. Drop a .chm file on to CHM2Alias.exe.
There should be a new .alias file in the same directory as CHM2Alias.exe.
Installing the new .alias file.
2. For Windows XP, the new .alias file should be placed in the folder:
where <FARR-Installation-Dir> is typically:
C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot
but may be somewhere else depending on your setup.
For Vista / 7, the new .alias file should typically be placed in:
where <username> is your user name.
Configuring the new .alias file.
3. Open FARR's Options window and navigate to:
Program Options ->
Lists ->
Then choose the new .alias via the combo box labeled:
Select Alias/Group file to configure
4. Bring up the "Edit Group/Alias" dialog for the single entry by double-clicking the entry or via its context-sensitive menu.
5. Edit any values appropriately -- specifically, choosing a relatively short value for Group Alias Name is recommended.
Using the new alias.
6. Bring up FARR and type the alias' value for Group Alias Name.

Linkages Program
The opportunity to start at WIU-QC as a freshman is now a reality through a partnership program through select community colleges and WIU.
How does this work?
A student will enroll in courses at WIU and courses with a partnering community college for the first two years. Each student will have individualized advising which will include a semester-by-semester plan they will follow to ensure courses taken at the community college not only transfer, but also align nicely within a four year degree plan.
This is a great way for a student to begin their college journey and be able to remain in the Quad Cities for the completion of their bachelor's degree.
Most majors are available through the linkages program. Please contact WIU-QC Admissions (309) 762 - 1495 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
How do I apply?
1. Fill out an undergraduate admissions application online.
2. Send in ANY transcripts. This includes high school and any college if you have earned dual credit.
3. Send in ACT scores if not listed on your high school transcript.
Admissions Requirements
Students must meet freshman admissions requirements which are:
- 2.63 - 3.34 High School GPA
- 18 - 23 ACT composite score
Contact the WIU-QC Admissions office (309) 762-1495 for questions and details.
Some programs will have additional admission requirements such as Elementary and Early Childhood Education.
Program Benefits
- Benefit significantly from the WIU Cost Guarantee. Beginning as a freshman just by taking the one course will lock in that starting year tuition and fee rate for the next four years (tuition and fees will not increase for four years) This is a savings of over 15% by graduation!
- Earn an Associate's degree from a partner community college and a Bachelor's degree from WIU in a seamless manner, with supportive academic and career advisement throughout.
- Experience the academic excellence, educational and co-curricular opportunities, and personal attention that both institutions provide.

The City of Santa Clara is required to reduce litter going into our stormdrains to comply with the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) mandates. As part of meeting our 40% trashload reduction by 2014, the City of Santa Clara is considering the adoption of a Carryout Bag Ordinance and a Polystyrene Foam Food Ware ordinance. The proposed Carryout Bag Ordinance would require grocery stores, pharmacies, and retail stores to stop providing plastic carryout bags, and charge ten cents for every paper bag at checkout. The Polystyrene Foam Food Ware Ordinance would require restaurants and other public eating establishments to use alternative food ware products that can be recycled, composted, or reused.
Please take a moment to answer a brief survey that will help us understand and address your concerns. Surveys are available for retailers, food vendors, and residents in both English and Spanish.

Land Management
TVA is responsible for the management of 293,000 acres of public land and 11,000 miles of public shoreline in the TVA region. In carrying out its land-management responsibilities, the corporation is guided by its mandate to consider the effects of its activities in such areas as land reclamation, public recreational use, economic development and wildlife preservation.
TVA Land Policy
TVA's Land Policy was approved by the TVA Board of Directors on November 30, 2006. This policy governs how land use is planned, including whether land is disposed of or retained. When the Board approved the new policy, they also directed staff to review TVA-managed land designated for recreation and economic development purposes to verify the suitability of the properties for those uses. That review is now complete and comprehensive information is available.

TVA develops comprehensive plans for the management of the public land around each of its lakes. Plans are developed with participation by public agencies and officials, private organizations and individuals. By providing a clear vision of how TVA will manage public land and by identifying land for specific uses, a lake land plan minimizes conflicting land uses and guides decisions on requests for use of public land. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the potential environmental impacts of proposed land plans are described in an Environmental Impact Statement or Environmental Assessment. Many of the land plans are available online.
Wildlife Habitat
More than 181,000 acres of TVA land have been set aside for natural resource management, including the enhancement of wildlife habitat.
Land reclamation has been a part of TVAs activities since the agencys founding in the 1930s, when the Tennessee Valley region suffered severe soil erosion caused by unwise farming practices. TVAs reclamation efforts, particularly in the Copper Basin, have earned national and international recognition.
In 1999, after extensive environmental review and public comment, TVA inaugurated its Shoreline Management Policy to improve the protection of shoreline and aquatic resources while continuing to allow reasonable public access to both.
Land Use
TVA encourages citizens to comment on proposals that involve any change in the use of the public lands under its management. When such a change is requested, whether by a governmental body or private citizen, TVA issues a land-use action notice seeking comments on the proposal.
For information on using TVA shoreline property or public land, or to get involved in TVA stewardship activities, contact the Environmental Information Center.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Jack Hannahan drove in three runs on Friday and the Indians downed the Athletics, 4-3, in the opener of a three-game series.
Shin-Soo Choo added an RBI single for Cleveland, which improved to 6-1 on its current nine-game road trip.
Ubaldo Jimenez (2-0) allowed two runs on six hits and five walks over six innings to earn the win and Chris Perez tossed a perfect ninth for his fifth save of the season.
Yoenis Cespedes went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Josh Reddick homered for Oakland, which saw its season-high three-game win streak come to an end. Graham Godfrey (0-3) gave up four runs on three hits and five walks over five innings in the loss.
"I just couldn't locate when I needed to," said Godfrey. "When you give them that many opportunities they are going to figure out a way to get some runs across."
Godfrey issued three walks to load the bases with one down in the second. Hannahan made it 1-0 with a sacrifice fly to right before Jason Donald lined out to first to end the inning.
The Indians failed to capitalize after loading the bases with two down in the bottom half, but tied the game in the third courtesy of Reddick's two-out blast to right.
Hannahan struck again in the fourth, scoring Travis Hafner and Shelley Duncan with a two-out double to left. An inning later, Jason Kipnis was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on Choo's single for a 4-1 Cleveland lead.
Cespedes made it 4-2 in the home fifth, following Reddick's double with an RBI single. Seth Smith then drew a one-out walk, but he was caught stealing second and Jonny Gomes struck out with Cespedes on third to halt the threat.
Choo was thrown out at the plate by Smith to end the top of the seventh and Jemile Weeks led off the home half with a triple off of Tony Sipp. Cliff Pennington followed with a walk and Sipp was relieved after striking out Reddick. Cespedes greeted Joe Smith with a single, scoring Weeks and Gomes walked with two down to load the bases. But Joe Smith maintained the one-run lead by grounding out Kila Ka'aihue to end the inning.
Weeks hit a two-out double in the eighth but Vinnie Pestano retired Pennington before giving way to Perez in the ninth.

Two dozen drivers of a dozen different nationalities will occupy the Albert Park grid on Sunday March 18 when the 2012 Formula 1™ Qantas Australian Grand Prix becomes the 859th race in World Championship history and the first in the sport's 63rd season.
With no fewer than six World Champions on track, much of the media attention will focus on the latest driver to attempt a comeback after turning his back on the sport.
Finnish ace Kimi Räikkönen is back. World Champion with Ferrari in 2007, and the race-winner here in Melbourne at the start of that season, Raikkonen claimed six race victories and pipped Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso to the title by a single point.
After two years in which he had a crack at the favourite Scandinavian discipline of rallying, Räikkönen returns to F1 at the wheel of a Lotus Renault, a team seeking its own return to former glories.
"I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming," said the 32-year-old Finn when the news of his signing broke. "It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition. Now I'm looking forward to playing an important role in pushing the team to the very front of the grid."
Comebacks can be hard work though – just ask Michael Schumacher. The man with more titles than any driver in history was out of F1 for three years after winning 91 races and seven World Championships in his Benetton and Ferrari heyday.
'Schumi', now 43, has yet to score a podium finish, never mind another race win, since returning in 2010 to join Germany's Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team. Schumacher continues for a third straight year in the all-German team with Nico Rosberg as his partner.
Coincidentally Räikkönen will be running alongside a team-mate also making his own return. France's Romain Grosjean comes back, he says, stronger and better after winning the GP2 title during his own two-year exile following a seven-race stint with the then Renault team in 2009.
"There's a big grin on my face at the prospect of getting behind the wheel of this year's car, and I feel very privileged to be given this opportunity," says the 25-year-old. "To be racing alongside a former world champion and someone who is hungry and returning to Formula 1 will be a great experience, and I'm sure will help raise my level of performance too."
First, however, they need to raise the performance level of the E20, the latest Grand Prix car from the team's Enstone base in Britain. Kimi's task in adding to his tally of 18 Grand Prix wins – still inside the top 15 in history – has been made harder by teething troubles in pre-season testing.
Lotus were forced to suspend track activities after just one day of last week's Barcelona session when analysis of their E20's chassis after an accident to Grosjean revealed unwanted information. "Not running this week has been a tough decision to take, but we feel that our choice is the right one," observed team principal Eric Boullier.
"On the positive side, we have quickly identified the issue with the chassis and our design office has already devised a solution. We will be present at next week's test in Barcelona. We draw faith from the fact that the E20 was quick out of the box in Jerez and showed its reliability there. We have a lot of work ahead of us over the next week but everyone at Enstone is ready for this challenge."
Also up for a different challenge is reigning champion Sebastian Vettel. At just 24, the German is the youngest man ever to take back-to-back titles. His own challenge in 2012 is to be the latest to claim three successive World Championships, which would put him in an esteemed group of just three. The fact that the other two are Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher is a measure of how far Red Bull star Vettel has travelled since his debut in the USA in 2007.
Despite being #1 for the last two years, Vettel is quick to insist that all 24 drivers start on a level playing-field in Melbourne in March. "For us it all starts from zero again, zero points, everyone has the same chance and we are all building our new cars. So, until we really put them on track to race each other we don't really know.
"It would be wrong to go into this season and expect 2011 to happen again, as in getting into the lead early and having a very big gap to other competitors in the Championship. So I think it will be very, very tight this year and everything else would be a surprise to be honest. Looking at the cars, you know there's not much room we have left to play (with) for designers and to find something extra."
That 'something extra' may well come from the driver; the legendary Sir Stirling Moss has recently said Vettel is the Fangio of his day, so he is probably best placed to provide it should Red Bull's new RB8 require a helping hand.
Like Vettel, Spain's Fernando Alonso boasts two titles which he won back in 2005-06 with Renault. Can he annex a third of his own with Ferrari? This will be Alonso's third season with the most winning marque in Formula 1, but the F2012 did not exactly set pulses racing on debut in Spain and Alonso too will have work to do.
The last two of our six World Champions are team-mates: that's Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes where, last season, Hamilton suffered the chastening experience of being beaten over a season by a team-mate for the first time in his racing career.
The 27-year-old Briton's response has been to work even harder in pre-season altitude training in Colorado and Switzerland as he prepares to scale new heights on track.
"The winter has been a great opportunity to recharge – I got away into the mountains, spent a lot of time hiking and running, improving my fitness and starting to prepare for the new year," said Hamilton when McLaren launched their MP4-27. He also echoed Vettel's own words.
"It's always great to get away from everything; change the scenery. And what's great about Formula 1 is that you start each season with the baseline completely reset – everybody starts again from zero – and that always makes me so hungry."
In addition to the title-winning sextet, three other drivers in the 2012 field are proven race-winners: Ferrari's Felipe Massa with 11, our own Mark Webber with seven and Caterham's Heikki Kovalainen with a singleton from his brief time with McLaren.
Along with Lotus, Scuderia Toro Rosso are the only other outfit to have made a double driver change for 2012, allowing Australia's Daniel Ricciardo the chance to prove what he can do in Red Bull's sister team.
Dan will run alongside Jean-Eric Vergne, one of only two rookies in the field. The other is Charles Pic at Marussia F1; those two young Frenchmen and Lotus driver Grosjean will be to the fore when our next backgrounder focuses on the French Connection in F1.
