The question is more if you feel ready for such a small board. A Kode 74 will clearly be a bit more forgiving.
I've never really thought about comfort in windsurfing. Exocets claim to be a really comfortable ride... but i don't really see how. What makes a bigger difference than the 'comfort' of the board, I believe, is having the right kit, well tuned. Once you've got that the only discomfort is the board smacking chop super hard, but I'm young so that doesn't really matter to me.

In February 1999, EPA issued a Final Decision on the remedy after consideration of public comments on the remedial alternatives. The selected remedy is to continue operation of an interim pump-and-treat system installed in 1991 with installation of 4 horizontal infiltration wells on the community side. The horizontal infiltration wells, which began operation in April 2000, provide flushing of contaminated groundwater to the existing pump-and-treat system to enhance recovery. The remediation goal, as defined in the Final Decision, requires that groundwater be restored to drinking water standards, or that technological limits have been reached, provided that partial or full shut down of the system will not pose unacceptable risks to human health or the environmental.
In 2009, after 9 years of operating the final remedy and substantial cleanup of the release, EPA approved a "temporary shutdown test" of the Mantua system to collect data to determine whether a permanent shut down of the Mantua system is warranted. The remediation system located inside the Motiva Enterprises Terminal on the other side of Pickett Road will continue to remain in operation, and there is no plan to shut it down.
The shutdown test called for sub-slab soil vapor sampling of 18 homes located above the plume, and extensive groundwater sampling. The data collected from the 4-year test were reviewed by a technical workgroup consisting of representatives from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the City of Fairfax, Fairfax County, the Mantua Community, and U.S. EPA. Groundwater data show that the systems' performance has reached the point of diminishing returns, and further operation of the Mantua system will not perform more effectively than natural attenuation. Soil vapor data show that there is no vapor intrusion that would pose unacceptable health risks to homes above the plume. EPA presented the findings to the Mantua Community Association meeting on May 29, 2013. On August 20, 2013, based on review of the test data and support from the technical workgroup and the community, EPA approved permanent shut down of the Mantua System
Based on review of the test data, recommendations from the Workgroup, and comments received during the public meeting of May 29, 2013, EPA determined that the shutdown criteria as set forth in the Final Remedy were met. In August 2013, EPA approved permanent shutdown and abandonment of the off site system. In 2016, removal and abandonment of the offsite system in place was implemented in accordance with applicable permits and protocols.
A large underground petroleum leak from the former Star Enterprise Terminal and now Motiva Enterprises Terminal on Pickett Road was discovered in 1990. The leak had resulted in a petroleum-contaminated groundwater plume that extended 2000 ft from Pickett Road to the Mantua community. Under EPA's direction, construction of a groundwater remediation system to clean up the petroleum-contaminated groundwater began shortly thereafter and began operation in 1991. Subsequently, the system was expanded and modified to its current configuration in 2000 as the final remedy. There are two major components of the remediation system, one located inside the Motiva Enterprises Terminal, and the other located in the community side known hereby as the Mantua system. The Motiva Terminal is one of four oil distribution terminals located on Pickett Road, Fairfax City, Virginia. The terminal has nine two-million-gallon above-ground tanks that supply petroleum to the region at a rate of one million gallons per day.

The Telegram
The Telegram website offers only a sample of the stories our reporters, editors and photographers work hard to get to the public every day.
Monday's full edition of The Telegram, on the other hand, contains much, much more, from news to opinion to our expanded Sports section.
• Talks between the St. John's International Airport Authority and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) have once again broken off, with each side claiming the other has shown an inflexibility in negotiations.
The federal mediator trying to find common ground between the two sides announced Friday he would not bring them back to the bargaining table for the time being. According to the union, this comes after a five-day recess preceeded by five days of negotiations. Both sides agreed to a media blackout during negotiations.
• Fog wreaked havoc on flights coming to and from St. John's during the weekend, cancelling numerous arrivals and departures.
Marie Manning, director of marketing and community relations with the local airport authority, said smaller aircraft were managing to land at the airport, but that was not the case for larger ones.
And according the authority, the low visibility is forecasted to last until at least this morning.
• The waitlist for high-demand chronic pain services in St. John's is anywhere from four to eight months, according to Eastern Health.
Sonya Martin-Drake of Mount Pearl told The Telegram last week she has to travel to Clarenville regularly for chronic pain treatments because it's unavailable to her in St. John's.
Chronic pain services are offered by some, but not all, of the anesthetists working for Eastern Health. Services are offered at the Health Sciences Centre, St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, Dr. L.A. Miller Centre, Dr. G.B. Cross Memorial Hospital and Carbonear General Hospital. According to Eastern Health, at the Health Sciences Centre, the wait is six to eight months; St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, four months; and Dr. L.A. Miller Centre, seven months.

DETROIT, MI- Amid a turbulent time period of recalls and investigations, General Motors Co. today announced two senior vice presidents have left the company.
The Detroit-based automaker said Selim Bingol, senior vice president of global communications and public policy, and Melissa Howell, senior vice president for human resources, are leaving "to pursue other interests."
A GM spokesman said the changes are not connected to the company's ongoing recall of 2.6 million older-model vehicles due to faulty ignition switches, but rather the transition of Mary Barra succeeding Dan Akerson as CEO.
Replacing Howell will be John J. Quattrone as senior vice president of global human resources, according to GM. Quattrone is currently executive director of Human Resources for GM's global product development, purchasing and supply chain organizations.
A successor to Bingol will be named later, according to officials. Bingol joined GM in 2010 from AT&T as the head of communications. He was appointed head of public policy in October 2012, after Bob Ferguson was named as the first global brand head of Cadillac. For the head of communications position, GM is currently conducting an "outside search" to replace Bingol, according to officials.
Quattrone's appointment, as well as Howell's and Bingol's departures are effective immediately, according to GM.
Barra, who became CEO on Jan. 15, praised Howell's contribution at a key time for the company: "Through Melissa's passion, the values that make up today's GM are now becoming a central part of how we develop and guide our employees around the world," she said. "We are deeply grateful for her dedication to GM and all that she did to help build a stronger HR function to support our people and business."
Howell joined GM in 1990. She was named Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources in February 2013.
Barra also said the company officials "appreciate Selim's service" and help "telling the GM story" during his tenure. Bingol guided the communications around GM's 2010 initial public offering, the largest in history at that time, as well as the introduction of several new products that have received widespread acclaim for quality, styling, and performance.

Marriage is the union between a man and a woman where the two individuals become one flesh, as the Apostle Paul tells us in the fifth chapter of Ephesians. The marital union, however, is a relationship that points to the greater relationship between Christ and the church. Typically, Reformed theologians have described the relationship between Christ and the church in terms of the believer's mystical union with Christ. Louis Berkhof gives us a typical definition of union with Christ: "That intimate, vital, and spiritual union between Christ and his people, in virtue of which he is the source of their life and strength, of their blessedness and salvation." Union with Christ is also called mystical because, as A. A. Hodge explains, "It so far transcends all the analogies of earthly relationships, in the intimacy of its communion, in the transforming power of its influence, and in the excellence of its consequences." While there is an exception to every rule, the doctrine of the believer's union with Christ is universally accepted in the Reformed community. Where disagreement lies, however, is the nature of the relationship between the doctrines of union with Christ and justification by faith alone. What is the doctrine of justification? We find a good concise definition in the Westminster Shorter Catechism: "Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein he pardons all our sins, and accepts us as righteous in his sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone" (Q/A 33).
Dispensing with the inerrancy and unity of the Bible's teaching, nineteenth-century Protestant liberalism was fond of not only pitting Jesus against Paul but also pitting Paul against himself. There was a legal-forensic Paul who gave us the doctrine of justification and the mystical-relational Paul who emphasized union with Christ. At the end of the day, the "relational" Paul won out. Now, such conclusions are only natural for one with liberal assumptions about the Bible. However, it might surprise some that we can find similar patterns in conservative Reformed circles. I first want to survey some of the recent claims concerning the supposed incompatibility of the so-called legal and relational, or justification and union with Christ. Then we will offer a positive formulation of the proper relationship between the two doctrines.
Bishop and Pauline scholar N. T. Wright is well-known for his rejection of the doctrine of the imputed righteousness of Christ. He argues that everything that one would receive through imputation, one receives through union with Christ. Union with Christ makes imputation a redundancy. While Wright does not specifically state it in these terms, his rejection of imputation seems to rely upon the older tendency pointed out above, to subsume the order of salvation (ordo salutis) to union with Christ. Wright, for example, argues that the Reformed understanding of the order of salvation, while perhaps reflective of the Reformed tradition, is not necessarily reflective of Paul's theology. Rich Lusk, a former Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and current Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) pastor, has a similar understanding of the relationship between justification and union with Christ.
Lusk also sees a conflicting tension between the legal and relational categories in traditional Reformed theology: "The covenant of works construction strikes at the filial nature of covenant sonship. Adam was God's son, not his employee." Given the supposed incompatibility of the legal and relational, it should be no surprise that Lusk allows the believer's union with Christ to swallow legal aspects of the believer's justification:
This justification requires no transfer or imputation of anything. It does not force us to reify "righteousness" into something that can be shuffled around in heavenly accounting books. Rather because I am in the Righteous One and the Vindicated One, I am righteous and vindicated. My in-Christ-ness makes imputation redundant. I do not need the moral content of his life of righteousness transferred to me; what I need is a share in the forensic verdict passed over him at the resurrection. Union with Christ is therefore key.Here Lusk argues that union with Christ makes legal elements of the believer's justification redundant and unnecessary, specifically that of the imputed active obedience of Christ.
Recall, in the historic Reformed understanding of justification, the believer receives the forgiveness of sins on account of Christ's suffering not only on the cross but throughout his life, which theologians have called his passive obedience. The term passive obedience comes from the Latin word, passio, which means suffering. At the same time, the believer also receives the imputation, the accrediting, of Christ's active obedience, Christ's fulfillment of the law on behalf of the believer. Christ's active obedience is also called his righteousness; hence theologians will talk of the imputation of Christ's righteousness or his active obedience. It is this legal element of justification that Lusk argues is redundant and unnecessary. These conclusions seem to be based upon his understanding that a believer is a son, a relational concept, and that our redemption is more comprehensively understood in terms of our union with Christ rather than the doctrine of imputation, a supposed legal category. In this regard, it appears as though Lusk has tried to suggest a better way to understand the doctrine of justification and in so doing offers what he and others believe is a more perfect understanding of our union with Christ.
There are multiple problems with such an understanding of the relationship between the doctrines of justification and union with Christ. We can address these problems and, more positively, set forth the historic Reformed understanding of the relationship between justification and union with Christ.
We find a host of New Testament references primarily in Paul's letters that refer to the believer being "in Christ." There are some twenty-five occurrences of this phrase in Paul's epistles alone. One of the most explicit passages of Scripture where we find the doctrine of union with Christ comes in Ephesians 5. Paul writes that the husband and the wife, when viewed through the lens of marriage, are one single entity, one body, and likens marriage to Christ's relationship to the church. There are other images in the Scriptures that relate to the believer's union with Christ: the vine and the branches (John 15:5); the foundation of the temple (1 Pet. 2:4-5), and as head and body (Eph. 4:4-6). Looking at some of the other biblical data, we also find that union with Christ undergirds multiple aspects of our redemption, such as our predestination (Eph. 1:4), justification (Rom. 8:1), sanctification (1 Cor. 1:30), and glorification (1 Cor. 15:22). How do we interpret and relate these references?
Historically Reformed theologians have recognized that union with Christ is not merely one aspect of the order of salvation but is the hub from which the spokes are drawn. One can find such conclusions in the theology of Reformed luminaries such as John Owen, Herman Witsius, and Thomas Boston, to name a few. That union undergirds the whole of the order of salvation is evident from Paul's book-end statements that we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and that only those who are in Christ will be raised from the dead and clothed in immortality. In fact, we may say that there are three phases of our union with Christ, the predestinarian "in Christ," the redemptive-historical "in Christ," the union involved in the once-for-all accomplishment of salvation, and the applicatory "in Christ," which is the union in the actual possession or application of salvation. These three phases refer not to different unions but rather to different aspects of the same union.
Given these conclusions, it is no wonder that the Westminster Larger Catechism states that justification, adoption, sanctification, and whatever other benefits flow from Christ to the believer manifest the believer's union with him (Q/A 69). When we see that our being found "in Christ" underlies the whole order of salvation, including the legal portions, such as justification and adoption, hopefully we begin to see how the Reformed understanding of the relationship between justification and union are not in any way at odds or redundant. From here, we can identify three concepts that we must understand to have a proper understanding of the relationship between union with Christ and justification: (1) that the legal aspects of our redemption are relational; (2) justification is the legal aspect of our union with Christ; and (3) that justification is the ground of our sanctification.
We should make two important observations concerning the relationship between justification and union with Christ. First, there is the unchecked assumption that just because justification is legal in character therefore means that it is not relational. For some unknown reason, whether in the theology of nineteenth-century liberalism or contemporary expressions from Lusk, for example, both think that the so-called legal and relational are incompatible. Yet, we must understand that there are such things as legal relationships. Or, in terms of our redemption, there are legal aspects of our relationship with God. For example, Paul tells us that we have received "the Spirit of adoption as sons" (Rom. 8:15; cf. Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5). Here is a clear instance where we see the wedding of the so-called legal and relational categories-adoption is a legal term but is also bound with it is the idea of sonship, a relational term. However, rather than see adoption as legal and sonship as relational, we should understand that the legal and filial are both relational.
One finds the same concepts inseparably bound in the person and work of Christ. Jesus was at the same time God's Son and born under the law (Gal. 4:4). Christ was obedient, not to an abstract arbitrary law, but to the personal and relational will, the law in its legal demands, of his heavenly Father (Phil. 2:5-11). We must not uncritically adopt the nineteenth-century liberalism's opposition between the legal and the relational. That opposition in itself rested on liberalism's rejection of original sin, divine wrath, and a propitiatory sacrifice of Christ. Not only are the legal and relational found together in the Bible, as we have seen, but even from common experience we know the two are compatible. Every day people enter the covenant of marriage and do so recognizing that the legal bond is one that is also relational. A husband, for example, can fulfill the legal requirements of marriage and do so out of love. In the same way, Christ fulfilled the legal-relational aspects of our redemption in love for us, his bride.
If we recognize the two points that we have established thus far, namely that union with Christ undergirds the whole order of salvation, and that the legal aspects of our redemption are relational, then we must realize that justification is a legal aspect of our union with Christ. We say that justification is a legal aspect of our union because we should also note that there are legal overtones to adoption as we have already observed. Nevertheless, if we recognize that justification is the legal aspect of our union with Christ, then to eliminate aspects of the doctrine of justification, such as the imputation of Christ's active obedience, something both Wright and Lusk do, is to undercut the legal aspect of our union. It seems that both Wright and Lusk reject the imputation of Christ's active obedience as being unnecessary, superfluous. What lies behind such conclusions, however, is the idea that the Reformed tradition has invented whole-cloth the doctrine of the imputed righteousness of Christ and created a redundant structure, one that can be discarded in favor of a more "biblical" construction. Such an opinion, however, fails to recognize that it is Paul who is able to hold together both the imputed righteousness of Christ and union with Christ without problem, hesitation, or embarrassment.
The Reformed tradition bases the doctrine of the imputed righteousness of Christ, even his active obedience, on such passages as Romans 5:12-21 (WCF 6.3, 11.1; cf. Heidelberg Catechism, Q/A 60). Why, for example, does Paul contrast the disobedience of Adam with the obedience of Christ? Paul writes, "For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous" (Rom. 5:19). As John Murray explains, "The parallel to the imputation of Adam's sin is the imputation of Christ's righteousness. Or to use Paul's own terms, being 'constituted sinners' through the disobedience of Adam is parallel to being 'constituted righteous' through the obedience of Christ." Clearly, Romans 5:19 restates what Paul has stated in the previous verse: "Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all" (Rom. 5:18).
There is no mistaking the parallel between Christ's obedience, which is righteousness, and the imputation of this righteousness to the believer. Commenting on the abiding significance of Genesis 15:6 and the imputation of righteousness, Paul writes: "That is why his faith was 'counted to him as righteousness.' But the words 'it was counted to him' were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 4:22-24). Note here the English Standard Version translates the Greek word logizomai as "counted," which the King James Version translates as "imputed." Here Paul taps into the ancient stream of the special revelation of the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, to argue for the imputed righteousness of Christ, and arguably also has other passages such as Isaiah 53 in mind when writing these things: "Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities" (Isa. 53:11; cf. 2 Cor. 5:19-21).
We should also note, however, that in all of Paul's argumentation for his doctrine of justification and especially the imputed active obedience of Christ, he can write everything that we have surveyed, and at the same time also write without qualification or wincing: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:1). If condemnation is the antonym for justification, then we can also reword Romans 8:1 to say, "There is therefore now justification for those who are in Christ Jesus" (emphasis added). In other words, a robust doctrine of justification that includes the imputed active and passive obedience of Christ is not antithetical to our union with Christ, nor is it superfluous. Rather, it is the legal aspect of our union with Christ. As A. A. Hodge explains, our union with Christ has a federal and representative character. Once again, what God has joined together, let man not separate. This brings us to one last element to consider, namely that justification is the ground of our sanctification.
Why does Paul insist upon the imputed active obedience of Christ in our justification? Why is this necessary aside from the fact that the Scriptures teach its necessity? The answer lies in the nature of our justification. We must recognize that the ground of our justification is not our sanctification, or the transformative aspect of our union with Christ. To base our justification in our sanctification is to change the judicial ground from the work of Christ to the work of the believer. The good works of the believer, even those that are the result of the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, are at the end of the day imperfect. In this regard the Westminster Confession of Faith concisely explains why our good works, or more broadly our sanctification, cannot be the ground of our justification:
We cannot, by our best works, merit pardon of sin, or eternal life, at the hand of God, by reason of the great disproportion that is between them and the glory to come, and the infinite distance that is between us and God, whom by them, we can neither profit nor satisfy for the debt of our former sins; but when we have done all we can, we have done but our duty, and are unprofitable servants; and because, as they are good, they proceed from His Spirit; and as they are wrought by us, they are defiled, and mixed with so much weakness and imperfection, that they cannot endure the severity of God's judgment. (WCF 16.5)It is only the obedience of Christ, therefore, that can be the ground of our justification, not only the obedience that he offered in his vicarious suffering throughout his entire earthly ministry, his passive obedience, but also his perfect law-keeping that he offered on our behalf to his Father, his active obedience.
In terms of union with Christ and justification, Berkhof therefore explains that "justification is always a declaration of God, not on the basis of an existing condition, but on that of a gracious imputation-a declaration which is not in harmony with the existing condition of the sinner. The judicial ground for all the special grace which we receive lies in the fact that the righteousness of Christ is freely imputed to us." What we must realize, then, is that the ground of our redemption is the work of Christ; correlatively, we should also recognize that the ground of our sanctification is our justification. In other words, apart from the legal-forensic work of Christ, received by imputation through faith, there is no transformative work of the Holy Spirit. Or, using the title of John Murray's famous book, apart from redemption accomplished, there can be no redemption applied (see WCF 11.3; Larger Catechism, Q/A 70).
One cannot help but observe that much of the recent literature in the confessional Reformed community that pits imputation against union with Christ unwittingly repeats a false antithesis from nineteenth-century liberalism. While those within the confessional Reformed community undoubtedly hold to a strong commitment to the inspired nature of the Scriptures, this commitment is inconsistent with any assumption that there are competing models of redemption in Paul, the legal and the relational. In seeking to create a more perfect understanding of union with Christ, some have torn apart what God has joined together. If Paul's epistles are inspired by the Holy Spirit, then it seems important that we follow the apostle in the construction of our own theology of justification as it relates to union with Christ. Namely, it is imperative that we hold together imputation and union with Christ, the legal-forensic and the transformative, all of which are relational. Let us not separate what God has joined together.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The state Senate on Tuesday plans to debate a proposal that would save state government an estimated $5.05 billion over almost 31 years by reducing pension benefits for teachers and other public employees hired in 2013 and later.
Among many changes, public employees under the plan would have to turn 62 -- 56 for correctional officers, law enforcement officers and firefighters -- before they could start collecting a pension.
Now, the great majority of the state's public employees can retire and start collecting a pension at any age after working at least 25 years. Also, employees can retire and start getting a pension at age 60 after working at least 10 years.
The plan is endorsed by Gov. Robert Bentley, Retirement Systems of Alabama chief executive David Bronner and the top-ranking members of the Senate and House of Representatives.
''I think it's going to make the system stronger," said Bronner, adding that about 40 states already have acted to cut future costs by reducing pension benefits for new hires.
Mac McArthur, executive director of the Alabama State Employees Association, said he also supported the plan.
''It addresses or takes steps to address some long-term funding problems at the retirement system," he said.
Henry Mabry, executive secretary of the Alabama Education Association teachers' lobby, said AEA has concerns about the bill but is not opposing it.
''We are concerned that in the future, the state would have difficulty attracting high-quality teachers and education support personnel because of the lesser benefits," Mabry said.
Both Mabry and McArthur said they were pleased that the plan, Senate Bill 388, would not affect retirees or employees already covered by the state Teachers' Retirement System or Employees' Retirement System. It would apply only to employees hired Jan. 1, 2013, or later.
Sen. Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, the Senate minority leader, said he opposed the bill.
''This is going to be very unfair to new hires," he said, noting that, under the plan, someone who started work for the state at 20 could retire at 50 but not be able to start collecting a pension until age 62.
''How are they supposed to support their families? Pay their bills?" Bedford asked. ''Do the Republicans want them all to be Walmart greeters?"
But Bedford predicted the Senate, which has 22 Republicans, 12 Democrats and an independent, would pass the plan and send it to the House for review.
The plan's sponsor, Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, said trimming the cost of the contributions the state makes to support the Retirement Systems of Alabama would make it more likely that the state would keep paying those costs in coming decades.
''If you're a retiree, you want to be assured that your retirement is going to be there," Orr said. ''Making these changes is extremely important to the long-term fiscal health of not only the retirement system but also the fiscal health of the state as a whole."
Without the plan, state government would contribute a total of $63.8 billion to the state Teachers' Retirement System and Employees' Retirement System over 30 years and nine months, estimated the retirement systems' actuary firm, Cavanaugh Macdonald Consulting in Kennesaw, Ga. With the plan, the firm estimated the state would contribute a total of $58.7 billion to the TRS and ERS over that time, a reduction of $5.05 billion, 7.9 percent.
The plan also would reduce pension benefits for people hired next year and later by the hundreds of cities and other local boards and governments that pay for their employees to participate in the Employees' Retirement System. The plan would save those governments and boards an undetermined amount of money.
Other changes
Among other changes under Senate Bill 388, public employees hired Jan. 1, 2013, or later would get a pension benefit calculated on the average pay of their five highest-paid years out of the last 10 years worked. Now, benefits are based on the average of the three highest-paid years.
Also, the pension benefit would be figured by multiplying the final average salary times 1.65 percent, down from the current 2.0125 percent.
People hired under the new plan also would pay slightly less for their pension coverage, with some exceptions, than current employees do. Most new employees under the proposal would pay 6 percent of their paychecks. Now most employees pay 7.5 percent.
''It's a trade-off. They get reduced benefits, but get more take-home pay," Orr said. ''They get to pocket the money."
State judges would not be affected by the plan. Deputy state Finance Director Clinton Carter said Bentley plans to push separately for ''judicial pension reform."

Bernhard Langer backed up his first-round 63 with a second-round 66 on Saturday in the Champions Tour's Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, Calif., Saturday. That puts Langer, who is headed to the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic presented by C Spire next week at Fallen Oak in Saucier, is at 13 under par for the tournament.
That gives him a two-shot lead over Kenny Perry, who a second-round 65, and Chein Soon Lu, who had a 66 on Saturday. Both golfers are at 11 under for the tournament.
Fred Couples (67), Scott Dunlap (64) and Esteban Toledo (65) are all at 10 under, three shots behind Langer. MGRC defending champion Michael Allen (67) is one of four golfers at 9 under. He is joined by Peter Senior (63), Steve Pate (65) and Kirk Triplett (67).
Tom Watson shot a 63 on Saturday, moving him to 8 under. He is joined there by Dan Forsman (65), Tom Bynum (66) and Duffy Waldorf (68).
Six golfers, including Fred Funk, Hale Irwin and Jay Haas, are at 7 under, with Mark O'Meara and eight others at 6 under.

Miguel Correa, Austin Sanders, Nate Colvin, Joel Munoz, Mario Rodriguez and Gage Keene all recorded wins for Holland West Ottawa.
West Ottawa coach Pat Marsman said his team lost some matches he thought they would win.
"But the team responded by picking up pins and major decisions in some other matches," he said. "That's what high school wrestling is about -- overcoming difficulties and leaning on your teammates to pick you up."
Rockford coach Brian Richardson said his team was pretty evenly matches, but did not do as well against West Ottawa's upper weights.
"From 171 pounds up, they are a very tough team," Richardson said.
Richardson said his team has three more matches in OK Red play, and they are all tough.
"We know the road is not going to get any easier for us," he said.

Since graduating from art school, I've worked for a large design firm, served as the creative director for a mega church and worked at another agency before starting my own studio, Antistatic. Throughout my journey I've been passionate about working with churches and faith-based non-profits. In this way God has allowed me to partner with these ministries and spread the gospel further than my own voice can carry."

Former Ohio State attackman Jeff Tundo is transferring to Stony Brook and will have two years of eligibility with the Seawolves and coach Jim Nagle, the program confirmed today.
Tundo left Ohio State after scoring 35 points as a freshman and sophomore, but was held out of the last three games of the season for the 8-8 Buckeyes. He'll join a Stony Brook roster that was depleted by the graduation of offensive stars Kevin Crowley, Jordan McBride, Timmy Trenkle and Tom Compitello.
In other transfer news, former Maryland and St. Mary's Annapolis goalie Dom Lamolinara transferred to Syracuse and will look to be in the mix to replace John Galloway alongside Matt Lerman and freshman Bobby Wardwell, the MVP of the 2011 Under Armour All-America Classic in July.
Freshman longstick Logan Tousaw isn't at Syracuse this semester after being arrested in early August. Eric DeJohn, who was also involved in the incident, is at SU, however. Tousaw is said to be considering Onondaga Community College; however coach Chuck Wilbur said he hasn't joined the team yet.
Two familiar players who are at OCC for their recently started fall semester and plan to suit up with the Lazers in the spring are defenseman Ryan Burnham and midfielder Randy Staats. Burnham was at Syracuse last fall. Both he and Staats were standouts at the Hill Academy in Ontario.

i'm not a big lobster person but it's well known that prices for them have plummeted in recent years. $37 is outrageous! I get they have to make a profit but this is just gouging. In Chinatown i can get a whole fresh lobster for $7.50 to cook at home or 2 ginger stir-fried for $24. SMDH

For a show that ended its run in 2007, "The Sopranos" sure can get people talking. The hubbub kicked up by a Vox article -- in which the writer quoted "Sopranos" creator David Chase answering the question of whether Tony Soprano dies after the last, abrupt image we see of him in the finale -- has had viewers obsessing all over again.
As I wrote yesterday, one of the key questions raised by the inconclusive finale -- did Mob boss Tony Soprano (the late James Gandolfini) get shot by a hitman in the moments after we see him look up from his table in a restaurant? -- seemed like it had finally been answered.
In the Vox piece, film professor Martha P. Nochimson recalled the moment when she came right out and asked Chase whether Tony is dead at the end of "The Sopranos."
"He shook his head 'no,'" Nochimson writes. "And he said simply, 'No he isn't.'"
After the furor raised by the piece raged online, Chase himself responded, via a statement from his publicist. Among the many sites that published it was Vox, as part of a follow-up piece. The statement read:
"A journalist for Vox misconstrued what David Chase said in their interview. To simply quote David as saying, 'Tony Soprano is not dead,' is inaccurate. There is a much larger context for that statement and as such, it is not true. As David Chase has said numerous times on the record, 'Whether Tony Soprano is alive or dead is not the point.' To continue to search for this answer is fruitless. The final scene of The Sopranos raises a spiritual question that has no right or wrong answer."
This managed to keep the conversation going with even more fervor, as everybody weighed in on the folly of needing to come to any definitive conclusion about what happened to Tony, the elusive nature of endings, and so on and so forth.
The conversation was lively here, too, in our comments on my original post. Here's a sampling:
Dark Cloud wrote: "It seemed obvious that the writers left the story open ended so The Sopranos could be made into some sort of movie. If Tony Soprano was going to (be) offed before the end of the series, it would have been written that way anyways and that would have been a boring ending. Though it was somewhat disconcerting for most viewers to have no resolution, I thought it was pretty smart by the writers to leave it up to the viewer to make their own ending. Now that Gandolfini is dead, the point is moot."
From Yardbird: "Much ado about nothing. As Mr. Chase says, whether Tony died is not the point."
And this sentiment, which I agree with, from Davida2647: "The fact that we are still talking about this today, and will probably be talking about this in the future, shows the impact of this show and Gandolfini as an actor."
manifesto ted wrote: "The ending was left intentionally vague for the viewer to speculate. It's not as if there was an ending filmed that never aired. The series died and so did Gandolfini. Tony is dead."
From schoen1: "I watched all six seasons on DVD earlier this year and was not happy with the ending, which initially made me think the DVD had malfunctioned; however, there were numerous clues that Tony was going to end up dead, and according to the internet, that seemed to be the general consensus."

I was afraid that forcing them beyond that point might damage the turnbuckle. So I got out the WD-40 and started spraying and turning the turnbuckle back and forth. After a while I was able to work out the binds to the point where the turnbuckles turned free over its entire length like a new one should. I don't know if there was dirt in the threads or some kind of galling occuring but the WD-40 and a little patience got them all back in shape. I guess my point is that a turnbuckle that is hard to turn doesn't necessarily have to be that way and safety cables should be ALWAYS installed. 73, Richard email@example.com http://www.realtime.net/~k5na -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: email@example.com Problems: email@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm

All right. Fall of '68, that's when the big strikes were going on, what was it like going to school? Could you talk about, you know, how your day began.
OK, fall of '68, what was it like going to school then? Could you describe your morning and what you saw in and around that Junior High School 271?
I was totally amazed to know, get up in the morning, walk, meet my friend Cia. We get to school and first thing, on the block is the school on Howard, We came in from the Howard side, Howard Avenue side, and, ah, we had to go through barricades to get to the school and we'd look upon on the rooftops, across the street from school, the cops were with their helmet gear and riot, their riot helmets and their night sticks and helicopters and, and the playground was converted into a precinct and walking up to the school you have just mass confusion. You have the community people out there. You have the UFT. You have the Black teachers on the inside. It was, you were just amazed. You couldn't believe this, this was happening, you know and you just went to school.**

BLM Announces Public Meetings for Walker Ridge Wind Project, Extends Comment Period
The Bureau of Land Management will hold public meetings in September to gather input on issues that should be addressed in environmental documents for the proposed Walker Ridge Wind Project in Lake and Colusa counties.
Public scoping meetings for the Environmental Impact Statement will be held Sept. 9 in Lakeport at the Lake County Supervisors meeting room, 255 N. Forbes St. and Sept. 10 in Colusa at the Natural Resources Conservation Service office, 100 Sunrise Blvd. Both meetings will run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"We are holding the meetings to gather public comment on issues, concerns and opportunities that should be considered in the analysis of the proposed action," said Rich Burns, BLM Ukiah Field Office manager.
"In order to provide time for the public to develop comments following the scoping meetings, we are extending the public comment period 30 days to Sept. 28," he said.
AltaGas Renewable Energy Pacific, Inc. has applied for a right-of-way (ROW) authorization covering 8,157 acres on public lands for a 70-megawatt wind energy project with an interconnection to the Pacific Gas & Electric's 115-kilovolt (kV) distribution system.
As proposed by the company, the wind project could include 29 to 42 wind turbine generators, an underground electrical collection system, a substation, a 115-kV overhead transmission line, an interconnect station, an operations and maintenance building, and access roads.
Information on the status of the proposal is available at http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/ukiah.html. Additional opportunities for public participation and formal comment will occur when the draft EIS is issued.
For further information and/or to have your name added to the mailing list, contact Bethney Lefebvre, Ukiah Field Office, 2550 North State St., Ukiah, Calif., 95482, phone (707)-468-4000, fax (707) 468-4027, or email email@example.com.
BLM has started a potential list of issues to be addressed in the analysis at a minimum, including social and economic impacts; traffic impacts; ground and surface water quantity and quality impacts; plant and animal species impacts, including special status species; impacts to cultural resources; and visual resource impacts.

Commanders must protect their interpreters. They should emplace security measures to keep their interpreters and their family members safe. Insurgents know the value of good interpreters and will often try to intimidate or kill interpreters and their family members.
The US Army * Marine Corps
Counterinsurgency Field Manual
Interpreters are always in short supply. We almost never had more than one in our company, and since we have three platoon [120 soldiers], someone was always on their own. If we were lucky, some of the Iraqi Army officers would speak a little English and we would make do.
Jack Robinson, Infantry Platoon Sergeant, US Army,
February 2008
The nation, our state, the US army and the New Jersey State Police lost a valuable resource two days ago: Detective Sergeant Dwayne M. Kelley, 48, of South Orange, a major in a civil affairs unit of the Army Reserve on his third tour of duty overseas, was killed when a bomb exploded inside a local government building in Baghdad. Major Kelley, a 20-year veteran, worked in counter-terrorism, serving first on an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and later in the State Police Counter-Terrorism Bureau.
What talent did Major Kelley have that made his loss particularly regrettable? From news accounts, Major Kelly was an American knowledgeable about Islam, respectful of Middle Eastern culture, and fluent in Arabic-- this last a rare quality in Iraq, where most of the translating is done by native (often non-Iraqi) Arabic-speakers. (This is risky from a security point of view. Terrorist groups, and hostile governments, can get to these foreign interpreters eventually, and find out a lot about American intelligence techniques.) Again, from the papers, I learned that while serving on the FBI task force, Major Kelley had been sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to interrogate detainees.
Years ago, when interpreting from and to Japanese played a larger part of my life than it does now, I recall reading somewhere that "Knowledge of the two languages is only one of 10 things you need to be an interpreter/translator; a taxi cab driver in foreign land knows the layout of his city and can engage in pleasantries as he chauffeurs your around. That does not qualify him for interpreter status."
Though I never met him, I imagine that Major Kelley combined his language skills and his years of police and military experience with the four cardinal virtues of law enforcement: courage, justice, temperance and prudence. And this is why his death is so tragic--even if he wasn't serving as a language officer, I suspect there would have been many times when his linguistic skills would have been quite helpful--maybe even life-saving.
Although it is difficult to quantify the value of a translator/interpreter, retired Marine colonel Thomas X. Hammes attempted to do just that in a 2005 New York Times OP ED piece entitled Lost in Translation:
If we paid an Arabic speaker, say, $200,000 a year to go to Iraq, and the interpreter prevented a single American casualty, he would have more than paid for himself. [T]he financial cost of the death a soldier (usually $500,000 in Pentagon-supplied death benefit and life insurance) or a serious injury (often much higher) make interpreters a good investment.
Of course we'll never know if Major Kelley's linguistic talents would have resulted in the saving of an American life. But what I do know is that the army will have a difficult time replacing someone who could bring such an array of skills to the battlespace.
When I started this article (coincidentally on the 45th anniversary of President Kennedy's "Ich bin ein Berliner" [I am a Berliner] declaration) 4,109 members of the U.S. military had died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003. When I finished, the number was 4,112: three marines and two interpreters (!!) were killed in a suicide bombing mission in Anbar Province.

Carol Jean McAlister can't stand to see a starving, neglected dog. She's the woman who stops when she sees an abandoned dog walking down the middle of a highway. She brought home two dogs in the middle of a torrential thunderstorm, and had to borrow a neighbor's umbrella in her Hueytown neighborhood for the rescue. She's even had a sheriff, who stopped to see what she was doing, give up half his sausage biscuit to help feed abandoned dogs on the side of a road where she sets out food. Since retiring from teaching PE in the Bessemer school system, she dreams of founding a pet sanctuary where all the mistreated, unwanted and unloved dogs would be happy, healthy and nourished for the rest of their lives. All she needs to start is a piece of land. Because of her, seven dogs, have found homes and had their shots and heart worm treatment taken care of on her dollar. Her house and back yard are a full house on the dog count -up to seven rescued dogs now living at her house, although she's trying to adopt out a brother and sister combo she recently found. "I think with my heart and not my head--and my heart is much, much bigger than my pocketbook," she says. Someone told her that God spelled backwards is dog, although she thinks that may be taking it a bit far. "But they are God's creatures."

Born Learning Trail opens Saturday; Island Rec celebrates 25th anniversary
The opening of the Born Learning Trail at the Family Park in the San Juan County Fairgrounds will be joined with Island Rec's celebration of its 25th anniversary, Saturday, 10-11 a.m.
The interactive trail encourages children to learn through fun and meaningful activities. It is designed to give caregivers ways to interact with children that increase development. It also helps the caregivers understand how they can support early learning in everyday moments.
San Juan Island Library Director Laura Tretter, a member of the San Juan County Early Learning Consortium, states: "It has been shown time and time again how supporting early learning is one of the single most important things we can do as a community to guarantee our future.
"We hope to see everyone there."

I was born and grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand, graduating from Lincoln University in New Zealand with a bachelor's degree in parks and recreation management. Prior to my graduate study I worked in a variety of positions related to recreation management and human resource development (HRD) in both New Zealand and the United States. This included working as a wilderness ranger for the U.S. Forest Service on the Mt. Hood National Forest. I received a master of science and my Ph.D. in human resource education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I commenced my academic career at the University of Minnesota in 1999 and in 2006 was appointed as chair of the Department of Work and Human Resource Education. I am currently professor in the Work and Human Resource Development program area within the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development. I also serve as the Associate Dean for Faculty Development in the College of Education and Human Development having previously served as Associate Dean for Graduate, Professional, and International Programs.
My research program is focused on the process and organizational outcomes of human resource development. Within this focus, I am pursuing four areas of research. My first research area examines attitude and performance changes that individuals and organizations experience as a result of human resource development and organization development. The major thrust of this research is the relationship between human resource development, organizational commitment, and employee engagement. The second major focus of my current research relates to international human resource development. The third research stream is related to the role of industry-sponsored credentials, especially in career and technical education and vocational education and training. My final research area examines human resource development in the leisure and tourism industry.
I have been involved in research and teaching activities throughout the United States and around the world. I have conducted research, taught classes and workshops, as well as consulted on projects in countries including New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Australia, India, Thailand, Jamaica, Georgia, Canada, Russia, Germany, Portugal, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. I am a member of the editorial board of Human Resource Development Quarterly having previously served on the Board of Directors of the Academy of Human Resource Development and as the editor-in-chief of Advances in Developing Human Resources.
I teach classes at the University of Minnesota in adult education and human resource development as well as research methods and philosophy. To date, I have taught the following courses: Introduction to Human Resource Development, Introduction to Organization Development, Survey of Adult Education and Human Resource Development, Training and Development of Human Resources, Organization Development, Advanced Theories of Training and Development, Foundations of Inquiry, Survey of Research Methods and Emerging Research in HRD, and the doctoral level Research Seminar.

TRENTON — Wayne Poore began drinking at 14 and became addicted to alcohol at 29, a year after his divorce.
Now seven months sober, it takes more than a sponsor and therapy groups to stay in recovery, said Poore, now 51.
"I didn't realize you had to change the way you think. ... My life was at a standstill. I did the AA and other programs, but I wasn't changing my thinking," Poore said.
When things went wrong in his life, he used to think about picking up a drink. But now, with the help of God, a sponsor and support groups, Poore has changed his thinking about alcohol. He is enrolled at Mercer County Community College, studying medical billing and coding.
Poore was one of 10 graduates honored yesterday for completing an 18-week intensive outpatient program at the Trenton Treatment Center on Escher Street. The program includes individual and group therapy, said April Brown, assistant director of the center.
The 22-bed facility houses some of the clients from the 18-week program, including Poore.
"This is the first step in a long journey of recovery," Brown said about yesterday's graduation. "Many of our clients have not successfully completed anything in their life, like school or relationships. For them to complete something, they need to be acknowledged."
The treatment center takes in about 30 clients for the 18-week intensive outpatient program that runs Monday through Friday for nine or more hours a week, Brown said. A client who relapses during that time is assessed to determine if a higher level of care is needed, Brown said.
"Initially and unfortunately, they relapse. Some will remain with us, but if we deem them not stable enough for the IOP (intensive outpatient program), we refer them to the appropriate level of care," Brown said.
The clients are sometimes referred to the center by the Mercer County Board of Social Services and the crisis center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center, but the center also takes walk-ins.
Another graduate, Willie Hobbs, 51, has been sober for seven months.
"It got real bad maybe four years ago," Hobbs said of his drinking, "I was in a deep depression and started doing it to self-medicate."
Hobbs had previously been sober for eight months, but he said at the time he wanted recovery for the wrong reasons.
"I wanted to get better for other people. But it was different this time. I wanted to get better for myself."
The outpatient program is "hard core" compared to others because, Hobbs said, they "stay on top of you" to get a sponsor and attend 12-step meetings.
"They want you to care more about yourself. They got your back," Hobbs said of the staff at the center.
The keynote speaker yesterday was Dickie Noles, the relief pitcher for the Phillies' 1980 World Series championship baseball team.
Noles has been sober since April 1983. He said he was forced to enter an alcohol rehabilitation program after assaulting a police officer after a game that year. "My employer said go to treatment or get fired," Noles said. "You're not a role model, but a parole model" Noles was told after he fought a police officer. He now counsels players on the dangers of alcohol and drugs.
Noles told the graduates and the 20 or so people in the audience that "recovery is the miracle that we have. Sobriety comes from the grace of God."
The center is a subsidiary of United Progress Inc., a community-service agency. United Progress also offers a transitional housing program for Mercer County's homeless men.

Response much greater than anticipated
AMHERST – Supporters of Amherst's Train Station Artisans Gallery are asking the town to extend their trial run until the end of the year.
© Darrell Cole – Cumberlandnewsnow.com
Artists and artisans say their temporary home in the former Amherst train station has been a huge success. They are asking the town to explore extending their four-month memorandum of understanding until the end of the year and to consider a seasonal arrangement for next year.
AMHERST – Supporters of Amherst's Train Station Artisans Gallery are asking the town to extend their trial run until the end of the year.
Speaking to the town's September committee-of-the-whole meeting earlier this week, artisans said the response has been much greater than they ever intended when the old Via station was transformed into a gallery in July.
"There only one word that can describe what we've been doing the last few months and that's wow. It's our motto," John Warner said after speaking to members of council. "It's not just from the participation of the artisans, but the support of the community, town council and Via Rail. It has been exceptional."
The town entered into a four-month trial with the artisans in July during which an assessment would be completed as to the facility's viability as permanent facility for artists and artisans to showcase their talents.
The town is paying Via Rail $600 a month.
"We have an opportunity to show off the artisans that we have," he said. "We initially signed a memorandum of understanding until the end of October. We're looking for two things: to extend that memorandum to the end of the year and second initiate a full season on an ongoing basis from May to December every year. We not only have the members we have now, but there are 15 we don't have room for."
Warner said the artisans would like to expand their gallery into other areas of the building that was vacated by Via Rail in October 2012 as part of budget reductions.
He said the group is willing to work with the town to find ways to extend the season, even if it means coming up with a few extra dollars themselves. The group also wants to collaborate in special events in the town next year.
"We started to late in the year to take part in the blueberry festival and other events. Next year, we'd like to be an integral part of it," he said.
Ted Evans was confident the gallery would be a success when he, Warner and Gil Collicott came up with the concept several months ago.
"I knew the people were out there, it was just a matter of contacting them," Evans said. "It's been wanting to happen for years. I'm amazed at how it has went. The building fits the whole concept perfectly."
He said he was in their last weekend working on a few things and more artists were coming to the door hoping to show what Evans said were some very interesting things.
Mayor Robert Small is pleased with the success the gallery has had.
"This was a pilot project and we wanted to see if there was interest. So far, so good, but the issue will be cost, quite frankly. We need to understand the cost and that's why we've asked staff to look into it," the mayor said.
