There was nothing distinguished or distinguishing about Bill Drumheller.
Ask ten witnesses to describe him to a police sketch artist, and most will agree he was average. Average height and weight. Average looks. No marks.
Maybe sandy brown hair, cut just about right. Not too short. Not modishly long. No mustache or beard. He may have had hazel eyes. Maybe brown. His brown suit was probably from Sears or Penney's. Shoes could have been from any Wal-Mart.
There wasn't even anything about his voice patterns or dialect anyone could remember. Just seemed like everyone else. Not Southern. Not from the Bronx. Not from New England. And, definitely, not from any foreign country.
If anything, they would remember him as helpful. Friendly. Always with a smile and a story. But that's about it.
This afternoon, he was having lunch with Annie Fenster-macher. The first time they met, she didn't want him in her house. Couldn't be too sure who he was, or why he really wanted to meet with her. So, they met on a bench outside the township library. Just to get acquainted. For a few minutes. Just so he could explain why he wanted to meet with her.
The next time, a couple of days later, they met at Nikki's Café. At a table right there near the front window on Market Street. She still wasn't too sure, but she liked him. Liked what he said. That he wanted to build a summer cabin near the river. Near where his grandparents grew up. Wanted to get away from the city. Wanted to enjoy the land and nature. But more than anything, she appreciated that he was a teacher. Teachers are good people, she thought. They care about children. And they have college degrees.
Annie Fenstermacher didn't have a college degree. She did graduate from high school. Third in her class of 56. That was farther than most girls in the area went in the pre-war years. But, she didn't go to college. There was no need to. She was needed on the farm, and that was that. But, most of all, she appreciated that Bill Drumheller was a veteran of the Vietnam War. Not like those hippies who protested it. The ones who raised their voices against the President of the United States. The President! The ones who shamed the nation. Her husband, rest his soul, was a veteran of World War II. Infantry. Corporal with Charlie Company, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. Wounded twice. Came home from Europe with medals and a leg brace.
Yet, almost every day, he worked the 20-acre farm. Early morning when it was dark. Late evening when only the light from his John Deere 50 tractor showed him the fields. Oats, barley, and field corn in the spring and summer; winter wheat and hay in Fall. Machine and farm maintenance through the winter. Worked the fields and farm almost every day, usually with the help of his three children, almost from the time they were 6 until they moved away to find their own jobs and spouses. They knew farming wasn't in their future; it wasn't in most people's futures. Large corporations were moving in, taking over the operations, changing how things were done, changing the economy, changing a lifestyle and culture that went back more than three centuries. But, Jake Fenstermacher wasn't going to go quietly. For almost 30 years, after a couple of hours in the fields, he showed up at 9 a.m. every Monday through Friday at Liberty Ford, where he worked in the parts department. Precisely at noon, he ate the bag lunch his wife prepared; at 3 p.m. he left for the day. Thirty hours a week, minus the 15 minutes a day for lunch. A dollar an hour above minimum wage and no benefits. Always a dollar an hour above minimum wage. When the minimum wage was 75 cents an hour in 1950, he did quite well; when it slowly rose to $3.10 an hour by 1980, that dollar an hour bump wasn't so lucrative. No matter what minimum wage was, he always got a dollar above it. With good financial management, he and his wife could pay the bills. Could keep the bank from foreclosing.
But now, even with the land barren, Annie Fenstermacher held onto it, for reasons she no longer understood. Just as her husband and her parents and their parents held onto it. She hoped her children would farm the land, maybe even build houses and find jobs locally. She knew it wouldn't happen, but she hoped.
And now came a stranger. A teacher. And all he wanted was just two acres. Not many. Just enough to build a small vacation home and pond, maybe to grow herbs. Maybe tomatoes. Perhaps plant a truck patch. Half-acre. Maybe even a full acre of something. He didn't know what just yet, but something. Enough he could harvest, put into a pickup truck, and take to market. Certainly not enough to feed a family, but something. For those two acres, he was going to pay her $2,450 an acre, slightly more than the assessed value. If he paid her too little, he'd be cheating her. If he paid too much, every Realtor and land speculator would not only be trying to figure out what he was doing, but would also artificially inflate all the other land prices, probably bringing others into the area. What Bill Drumheller didn't want was anything more than normal real estate activity.
For their third meeting, Annie Fenstermacher had invited him into her dining room. She apologized for it being a bit cluttered; it's not always easy for a 73-year-old widow to always be putting things where they once belonged. But she knew what was in the pantry and where the kitchen utensils were, and could fix the finest chicken and dumplings in all of north-eastern Pennsylvania. Learned how when she was a child. Every potluck, every fundraiser, that's what everyone wanted. Not her chicken pot pie or her meatloaf. Not pork and sauerkraut, scalloped potatoes, or applesauce. Chicken and dump-lings. The best there ever was. And that's what she was serving for dinner early on this crispy Monday afternoon in February.
That afternoon, after dinner—no one discusses business at dinner—Bill Drumheller took a sheaf of papers from his briefcase. More papers than Annie Fenstermacher had seen in quite awhile. But everything was carefully prepared. Neatly typed out. She looked them over. Read almost every word. The polite teacher said nothing about all the time the farm wife was taking. Most people just glanced at the papers, signed them, and took the money. But, Annie Fenstermacher looked at them. Thought about them. And then agreed it was time to visit the Realtor. Before a notary, Annie Fenstermacher and the Realtor signed the forms; she never noticed that the nice, polite teacher never signed anything. But, she did notice that he was going to pay for the land. Two acres. And so she and he went to the bank. He took $4,910 from his savings account, and handed it to her. Cash. Not a check. Not a money order or a promissory note. Cash. The kind the government guarantees. She didn't have much in her own savings account; she didn't know how a teacher could have so much in his savings account. Figured he probably saved it over a few years. Maybe got a loan. She looked at the cash, but didn't count it. Bill Drumheller—the teacher and war veteran—was a decent man. An honest man. One who took his only personal day that semester to come all the way to Madison Twp. in Marshfield County to close the deal. Besides, she was just going to put it right back into her own account.
Bill Drumheller drove Annie Fenstermacher to the Court-house, filed the paperwork, and then drove her back to her home. Hugged her, and then left. It was the hardest he ever worked to get just two acres.
That evening, he put on a pair of work boots, changed into a pair of Levi's and a denim shirt. He was driving out to see a woman in Fisher's Ferry, an hour or so away. She owned 40 acres in Marshfield County, in Jefferson Twp., not far from the two acres he had just bought from Annie Fenstermacher. And that land was more than an hour from where she lived. Mostly timberland with a stream running through it, and the Susque-hanna River nearby. He knew she didn't farm it. Didn't even live on it. Didn't know what she was doing with it. But he knew she was a musician. Musicians always need money, and he figured it wouldn't be too hard to get her to trade her land for some money. Buy her a nice dinner somewhere. Flash her some "serious consideration money" and make sure she knew she would get the rest in cash. Probably more money than she ever saw at one time. The banks and the Courthouse would be closed. Even if she agreed on the spot to sell her land, he'd have to wait until the next morning to close the deal. He didn't like to do that. It always gave people time to think. And he didn't want them to think too hard. But, these 40 acres were crucial, and they could be the easiest buy he ever made.
There was just one final thing he had to do. He taped two of his fingers. Just in case this musician asked him to join her for an impromptu jam session. He'd plead he'd like to, but just couldn't. Broke his finger on his right hand just the other day. Not only couldn't he play the guitar for awhile, more important it kept him away from the kiln, and from the clay sculptures he made.
That night, with a Just for Men dye of black in his rumpled hair, Bill Drumheller became Roger Davis.

The next
revolution in
education will
be made, not
Here is what happens when you ask two Tech & Learning advisors to trade notes on one
of the fastest-moving phenomena in education technology. Sylvia Martinez (SM) recently
co-authored Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom. Dr.
Gary A. Carnow (GC) is Chief Propellerhead of Prolific Thinkers and the former CTO of
Pasadena Unified School District. He is also the co-author of multiple edtech books. Both
are excited about the Maker Movement. Read why you should be, too:
GC: I shudder when I hear
that my local school is now
reinventing itself as a STEM
or STEAM school. STEM or
STEAM is an interesting label,
but it limits what is happening
across the world outside
of traditional educational
institutions. A growing army
of empowered parents and
creative teachers are banding
together in Maker Faires. What
is this Maker Movement and
why does every reader of Tech &
Learning need to know about it?
SM: A number of reasons. First,
it's a global technological and creative revolution.
Some very smart people are predicting that the
tools and technology of the Maker Movement
will revolutionize the way we produce, market,
and sell goods and services worldwide. Want a
new watch? Don't ship it across the world, just
print it out! Better yet, design it yourself and
then print it out. Something this epic should be
on every educator's radar.
Next, the Maker Movement advocates a "Do
It Yourself" or DIY attitude towards the world
and problems that need solving. Learning to use
what you've got and "give it a go" are valuable
mindsets for young learners.
Plus it's cool! Makers worldwide are
developing amazing new tools, materials, and
skills and inviting the whole world to join in
the fun. Using gee-whiz technology to make,
repair, or customize the things we need brings
engineering, design, and computer science to life.
Finally, the Maker Movement overlaps
with the natural inclinations of
children and the power of learning
by doing. For educators, I believe
that being open to the lessons of
the Maker Movement holds the key
to reanimating the best, but oft-forgotten
learner-centered teaching
Global Maker Faires and a
growing library of literature inspire
learners of all ages and experience
levels to become inventors and
seize control of their world. Online
communities serve as the hub of a
global learning commons, allowing
people to share not just ideas,
but the actual codes and designs for what they
invent. This ease of sharing lowers the barriers
to entry, as newcomers can easily use someone
else's codes or designs as building blocks for
their own creations.
However, at the Maker Faires
I've been to, I've met countless
parents who say to me (as they watch
their child happily soldering, building
with LEGO, or programming robots)
"School is killing my kid." And
unfortunately, I know what they
mean. We can and must do better,
not just for the empowered parents
who can take their child to a Maker
Faire, but for all children.
GC: The Maker Movement,
according to Wikipedia, stresses
"new and unique applications
of technologies, and encourages
invention and prototyping. There is a strong
focus on using and learning practical skills
and applying them creatively." What does
that mean for classrooms today?
SM: The new Next Generation Science
Standards makes explicit calls for meaningful
assessment, interdisciplinary knowledge,
creativity, inquiry, and engineering. Specifically,
we must change how schools approach science
and math.
In too many cases, science and math have
been stripped of practical applications because
of a false premise that practical math is only for
students who don't go to college. This is a recipe
for disaster and I think we see the results in
students who gradually lose interest in STEM
subjects over the years. We cannot and must
not continue to pretend that success in STEM
subjects means memorizing the textbook.
Making is a way of bringing creativity,
authentic design thinking, and engineering to
learners. Tinkering is the process
of design, the way real scientists
and engineers invent new things.
Such concrete experiences
provide a meaningful context for
understanding abstract science
and math concepts while often
incorporating esthetic components.
Creating opportunities for students
to solve real problems, combined
with imaginative new materials and
technology, makes learning come
alive and cements understandings
that are difficult when only studied
in the abstract.
We must bravely reintegrate
actual labs and design into science. We must be
able to answer a math student who asks, "Why
do I need to know this?" (And the answer should
never be, you'll need this next year.) We must
reinvent classrooms as places where students
ARE inventors, designers, scientists, and
mathematicians TODAY. Making is the avenue
to this reimagination of 21st century education.
GC: Your background is engineering. I began
my career as a teacher of gifted children.
We both subscribe to MAKE Magazine.
Where do teachers, parents, students, and
administrators, or for that matter anyone
who is interested in providing meaningful
experiences for students, begin?
SM: In his 2005 book, Fab: The Coming
Revolution on Your Desktop—from Personal
Computers to Personal Fabrication, MIT
Professor Neil Gershenfeld described the next
technological revolution as one in which people
would make anything they need to solve their own
problems. Gershenfield predicted that for the cost
of your school's first computer, you would have
a Fabrication Lab or fab lab—a mini high-tech
factory—capable of making things designed on a
computer. This prediction is now reality.
In our new book, we identify three aspects of
the making revolution that are game-changers
for schools. All of these are accessible and
affordable today. Any of these are great places
to begin:
Computer controlled fabrication devices:
Over the past few years, devices that fabricate
three-dimensional objects have become an
affordable reality. These 3D printers can take a
design file and output a physical object. Plastic
filament is melted and deposited in intricate
patterns that build layer by layer, much like
a 2D printer prints lines of dots that, line by
line, create a printed page. With 3D design and
printing, the ability for students to design and
create their own objects combines math, science,
engineering, and craft.
Physical computing: New
open source microcontrollers,
sensors, and interfaces
connect the physical world
to the digital world in ways
never before possible. Many
schools are familiar with
robotics, one aspect of physical
computing, but whole new
worlds are opening up, such as
wearable computing. Wearable
computing, soft circuits, and
e-textiles use conductive thread
and tiny mobile microprocessors
to make smart textiles and
clothing. Other kinds of new
microprocessors, like Arduinos,
combine with plug-and-play devices that
connect to the Internet, to each other, or to any
number of sensors. This means that low-cost,
easy-to-make computational devices can test,
monitor, beautify, and explore the world.
Programming: There is a new call for
programming in schools, from the Next
Generation Science Standards to the White
House. Programming is the key to controlling
this new world of computational devices and the
range of programming languages has never been
greater. Today's modern languages are designed
for every purpose and every age.
The common thread here is computation.
The computational potential of these
technologies, tools, and materials elevates
the learning potential beyond craft projects.
Of course there are things to be learned from
building with cardboard or Popsicle sticks and
in our book we discuss ALL kinds of making and
makerspaces for learning. But computation is
the game-changer that should make educators
sit up and take notice.
All of these experiences and the materials
that enable them are consistent with the
imaginations of children and with the types of
learning experiences society has long valued.
Making is a stance that puts
the learner at the center of the
educational process and creates
opportunities that students
may never have encountered
themselves. Makers are
confident, competent, curious
citizens in a new world of
GC: What matters most about
learning to me is not the
product but the process.
What I love about the Maker
Movement is that makers
rarely work in isolation.
Making is a social activity.
The Maker Movement embraces failure and
believes that everyone can make. When I
look back on my traditional schooling, what
I remember is that I had gifted teachers
who knew the power of project-based
learning. I remember the projects and the
process and have little memory of whatever
facts I had to cram for the dreaded "pop
quiz." What brought you to the Maker
Movement? Is this just the next big thing or
is this the real deal?
SM: Gary, you pack a lot into your questions!
What brought me to the Maker Movement is that
it deeply connects with my personal reasons for
becoming an engineer. I wanted to know how to
solve problems—real problems in the real world,
not textbook problems. I think all kids want to
change the world, and the Maker Movement and
Maker ethos teaches kids that they have the power
to make the world a better place, NOW. They
don't have to wait for a book or a teacher to tell
them what to do, because there is a whole world
out there of people all trying things and sharing
the results. Somebody somewhere is asking the
same questions as you and by sharing the journey,
we all can learn more.
I realize the attraction of always searching
for the "new new thing", the magic wand that
will fix all problems. I don't believe that the
Maker Movement is a magic wand. I hope it
doesn't get turned into a buzzword. Maybe
we can talk more about how to make sure the
hype doesn't overwhelm the promise of the
Maker Movement in schools. However, it is my
strong belief that educators who look deeply
at the Maker Movement will find a wealth of
new ideas and inspiration to revitalize their
classrooms and give children the opportunity to
touch the future.

Jason Strudwick Defencemen Camp - April 6th and 7th.
Jason Strudwick
March 11 2013 09:36AM
I have been working at Mt. Carmel school and helping out some youth hockey teams this year. I love the kids' enthusiasm and work ethic. They always take a second to hear what I have to say and try to make the changes in their games.
If I am being honest, I don't have a lot to offer in the department of scoring goals. Try as I might, when I played it just never came together for me in that area! We all have skills, scoring wasn't mine.

Will the Edmonton Oilers have a better second half to this lockout-shortened 48-game season? And, even if they do, will it be enough to make them playoff contenders in the Western Conference?
March 10 2013 01:29PM
The Oilers losing 6-0 to Nashville on Friday night is not helping the powder keg of emotion that is the OilersNation right now. Twitter reads terribly with demands for everyone that collects a cheque from Kay-Z being immediately dismissed. The comments section here at the site stretches to infinity as people vent their rage and frustration with a team that looks to be writing off another year of NHL hockey.
Incredibly the only people not showing any rage or heart at this moment are the Oilers themselves - which has a lot to do with explaining why we are all in this mess in the first place.
March 10 2013 12:02PM
With the wrong-way Oilers securing 15th in the NW and the trade deadline just weeks away, we begin our annual parsing of the roster to find out who among the miserable will be sent away.

The chart above comes courtesy of Rob Vollman, who has done some work here at the Nation and writes all over the place. It shows where the Oilers have started their shifts this year, what kind of opposition they have faced, and how well they have fared in terms of generating more shot attempts than the other team (big blue bubble = good, big red bubble = bad).
It's an interesting way of looking at players.

16 Reasons Why Athletes Are More Successful in Life
Sports Life Lesson 10: Be a Risk Taker
"If you are afraid of failure, you don't deserve to be successful!" —Charles Barkley
Sports are thrilling because there is just as much chance that you may lose as that you may win. Despite the risk, athletes eagerly step on the field or court without concern for the loss but in pursuit of the victory. When confronted with similar situations in life, athletes will be more comfortable taking the risk.

The Georgia Ports Authority handled 3 million tons of cargo in January, with bulk cargo at the Port of Brunswick more than doubling January 2016 figures.
The Agriculture Transportation Coalition, National Industrial Transportation League and National Retail Federation expressed concerns over a threatened work stoppage at East and Gulf Coast ports by members of the International Longshoremen's Association.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Jakob Stausholm, chief financial officer at Maersk Line, said the Danish ocean carrier's gains in market share, utilization, and lower unit costs have been overshadowed by very low freight rates.
Starting in April, Hamburg Süd's cargo will be shipped on vessels in the 2M network, a carrier alliance consisting of Maersk Line and MSC.

I was in Germany for another two-and-a-half weeks. I had 10 training sessions with a Second Division team to try everything before starting here.
That is why I was in Germany again, to have the last blood tests, fitness tests, everything with the doctor to be ready to start full training.
I feel good now. You have to be ready and I am now. I have to say thank-you that the club let me try everything in Germany and that they trust me. Now I want to give something back.
All I need is match practice now. I am on the training pitch every day to keep my fitness, my stamina and talk to the players and stay in touch with first team. Even if I'm not playing now everyone knows I will be in the background driving them on.
The rest will come with games and the manager will tell me when he thinks I am ready to go out again. He will know.
It is seven months since the injury at Chelsea. I have tried different things than when I injured my other cruiciate six years ago.
I think seven months is a good time, especially considering this is my second cruciate! I'm raring to go but it is important to calm down, step back and not come back too fast because that is when you can have problems again.
People ask how much I've missed the game. You miss it especially when the season starts and especially when you are at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and the Worthington Cup Final starts.
Those are the moments when you could almost cry but it is all part of the game and instead you have to look forward.
I'm looking forward to the first game back at White Hart Lane and to say hello again to the supporters. That will be a wonderful moment. I know the supporters have stayed behind me and, even if it is just for a minute, I know that I'm looking forward to that day.

Abt Sportsline is back again: Aiello triumphs at the Nürburgring
With an undisputed victory by reigning champion Laurent Aiello at the Nürburgring, Abt Sportsline has proved that it is back again in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) in an impressive way. The Frenchman took the lead from second place on the grid, never lost the lead until the finish and left no chance to championship leaders Bernd Schneider and Christijan Albers. Mattias Ekström, who had claimed pole-position on Saturday in the first night qualifying session in the history of the DTM, finished fourth.
Abt Sportsline had already dominated the motorsport spectacle at the Nürburgring during the entire weekend. Abt drivers were setting fastest times in nearly every session from Friday till Sunday, while Laurent Aiello crowned the strong team performance in the race with his first victory in the current season. In the process, the Frenchman benefited from a sensational start that put him past team-mate Mattias Ekström into the lead. Aiello only let go of this position during the pit stops and after 41 laps at the sprint circuit, he won with an advantage of almost 1.5 seconds. The reigning German touring car champion is now fourth in the championship.
Mattias Ekström was also considered a likely candidate for the first season win of the championship-winning team. Throughout the weekend, the Swede was in excellent form and especially proved to have strong nerves on Saturday evening: watched by many thousands of fans along the track and millions of viewers, watching qualifying before the world championship boxing match of Markus Beyer live on ARD, Ekström drove a qualifying lap that was both fast and error-free, putting his Abt-Audi TT-R in pole-position. In the race, he had to let some opponents go, but with his fourth place, he defended his sixth position in the championship.
While Karl Wendlinger -- like most recently at Donington -- only missed out on scoring points by one place after a nice battle, the race ended early for three other Abt drivers, Martin Tomczyk had to park his TT-R on the 14th lap, because he could no longer shift into any gear. Only two laps later, Christian Abt had the same problem after he had come close to a point scoring position from the back of the field (spin on the first corner). Youngster Peter Terting had to retire with six laps to go because of a broken suspension part, but was still classified 18th.
Quotes after the race
Laurent Aiello (1st place):
"It is quite a while ago already that we last scored such a result. It feels a little bit like the first victory of my career. It probably looked easily from the outside, but it wasn't. My car was very consistent and moreover, my pit crew has been working perfectly. We had a perfect strategy. I am overjoyed. I have had the chance of scoring good results for a few races already, but then, many things went wrong. Today, everything was perfect."
Mattias Ekström (4th place):
"My car was perfect all weekend, I felt well in every session. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite keep the pace of the front runners after the first pit stop and I lost some positions. Admittedly, after the second stop, I recovered quite well and I was even close to Bernd Schneider. But I would have needed some more laps to start an attack. That's what it is like in the DTM: when you are lacking only one percent, you are already fourth."
Karl Wendlinger (11th place):
"I am annoyed indeed for just having missed the points again. In practice, I was much closer to the front and had it not been for a technical problem in qualifying, I would have been in Super Pole. But that is now over and done with: in three weeks time, it is my home round at the A1-Ring, I am already looking forward to that."
Peter Terting (18th place):
"On the second lap, somebody ran into the left rear part of my car. In the process, something on the suspension was bent. After the first tyre change, my Abt-Audi was a little bit better again. I could keep the pace and also overtake a few opponents. Then, something on the left rear broke, and unfortunately, that was it."
Christian Abt (retired):
"I had such a great start and I could already overtake two or three cars on the straight already. On the first corner, I probably wanted a little bit too much and I accelerated too early. I made up to the midfield again, but then the gearbox failed. But our first victory is the most important thing for me today. Nice, that the hard work of the past few months has paid off."
Martin Tomczyk (retired):
"I could keep the pace of the front runners quite well. Then something broke on the gearbox after the first pit stop. When shifting down, I first missed one gear and then more and more, and finally, I had to retire. Too bad."
Hans-Jürgen Abt (team director):
"This is a great burden coming off our shoulders. The team never gave up and really fought for it, so that this could be achieved. The pit stops were probably the best we have ever done. Perfect. We are aware of our responsibilities, our fans want victories. Today, we have scored one."

It depends on many factors. If you don't select a sync on write (ie, differing writes for better performances), you may lose data. Otherwise, a crashed JDBM base may need some recovery.

Joint opinion by Gov. Matt Bevin and Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Sec. John Tilley
We've reached a critical point in Kentucky – one where our prisons and jails are full, overdose deaths continue to rise and far too many children have parents who are imprisoned.
We can no longer afford to cling to the outdated idea that prison is the only way to effectively hold people accountable for their crimes. Instead, we need to take a smarter, more measured approach to criminal justice.
States have often been called laboratories of democracy, and for good reason: That's where most cutting-edge ideas to improve government are first tested. The good ones are widely copied while the unworkable ones teach a valuable lesson as well.
Do you remember the week or so before school when you were not ready for school to begin, but were excited to see your friends from across the county?
Would I get the teachers and classes I wanted? Thoughts in my head were of what I would do with my hair, which dress would give that grown up look for my new year? Which pair of shoes would I wear?
What about our youth that are dreading the school experience because they do not have any shoes to wear? What will the others think of the holes and the taped up soles are the questions on their minds.
As it has for nearly two-and-a-half centuries, our nation will pause on Monday to celebrate its "birth" day, commemorating a time 240 years ago when the Founding Fathers declared our independence.
Since July 4, 1776, we have weathered a war for our freedom, a war against ourselves, and wars against those who would like nothing more than to see us and our values falter. Although the world has changed in countless ways since Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Indepen-dence, our commitment to protect and promote freedom has never wavered.
I object to the permit being filed by LG&E for construction of a low hazard class A dam for storm water management at the special waste landfill being constructed by LG&E.
This will be on a tributary of Corn Creek, one of the few federally listed "Outstanding Resource Waters" in the State of Kentucky.
I wanted to be your Attorney General to build a better, safer state for Kentucky families.
Unfortunately, too many Kentuckians are calling my office, upset and devastated after being scammed. They need help in recovering thousands of dollars they have sent to a con artist.
These con artists are persuasive. Anyone can fall for their lies and threats.
Just recently, a senior citizen in Elizabethtown was defrauded out of more than $50,000 in an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Scam, from someone claiming to be an IRS agent.
Site Selection is not a magazine most of us would keep on our coffee table, but for those in government and business who track economic development, this publication is one not to be missed.
Fortunately, it has had a lot of good things to say about Kentucky in recent years, and over the past two, it has awarded us its annual Governor's Cup for having more major job announcements than any other state on a per capita basis.
Bowling Green Daily News
"But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract."
As we remember President Abraham Lincoln's words from his famous Gettysburg address, we are reminded that the Memorial Day holiday should be a time of reflection.

How City Lights Change the Way We Experience Places
My favorite time of day is dusk: as the sometimes harsh glare of daylight recedes, sunset followed by a gradual darkening brings a touch of mystery, of possibility. As the lights begin to come on, a city or town is revealed in completely new ways – deficiencies sometimes masked, new elements emphasized.
Even in the countryside, it can be spectacular when the moon and stars come out and illuminate the landscape in an entirely different – if sometimes spooky – way. We don't see everything around us; our attention is directed to certain things in a more pronounced way. There's a reason why romantic and horror movies alike emphasize nighttime scenes, and a reason why advertisers use illuminated signs to capture our attention as they stand out from the darkness.
Although I wasn't particularly deliberate about it at the time, I think that's some of what I was capturing in my 2011 article and short photo-film, "The colors of a city evening."
Perhaps my favorite nighttime photographer is my friend Chuck Wolfe, who connects the visual and verbal uniquely well on his blog, myurbanist, and the several other places he publishes (which tend to be the same ones that carry my own work). The photos presented here are from a current exhibit of Chuck's work at Seattle's Café Verité (Madrona location). (Some of Chuck's work has been a springboard for my own, including in this article comparing our differing experiences of cities as kids in separate places.)
Chuck also has a new book coming out very soon. Urbanism Without Effort, which will be published first as an e-book, will contain these photos and many others as he illustrates and discusses how many of our best places evolve naturally. (I think Jane Jacobs would agree.) I was fortunate to see an early outline of the book and am really looking forward to it.
The preview from Island Press puts it this way:
"This highly illustrated E-ssential explores the idea that to create vibrant, sustainable urban areas for the long term, we must first understand 'what happens naturally when people congregate in cities---innate, unprompted interactions of urban dwellers with each other and their surrounding urban and physical environment' . . . Successful community, Wolfe argues, is among the first principles of what makes humans feel happy, and therefore city dwellers invariably celebrate environments where and when they can co-exist safely, in a mutually supportive way. Wolfe believes such celebration is most interesting when it occurs spontaneously—seemingly without effort. He believes it is critical to first isolate these spontaneous and latent examples of successful urban land use, before applying any prescriptive government policies or initiatives."
Apart from the great photography likely to be in the book (only some of which will be night scenes), that's a very interesting idea.

City lights can definitely change the way we experience places, and many local governments are conscious of the potential of night, to diffuse a message or simply make the city more attractive. Countless of tourists in Paris have been amazed by the "diamond dress" of the Eiffel Tower, which shines 5 minutes every hour at night. But a few years ago, when France took the presidency of the European Union for 6 months (before the Lisbon Treaty was signed by all country members), the color of the lights of the Eiffel Tower was made blue (instead of yellow as it is now), and yellow stars were displayed in a huge circle in the middle of the monument, in order to represent the European flag.
Local governments in France, since a few years, have created the Celebration of Lights ("Fêtes des Lumières" in French), which is especially amazing in Lyon, the first city to have started this initiative. During one night, art visual experts play a game that involves monuments of the city and light effects. Multiple forms, colors, combined with sounds, litterally transform the buildings of cities and give the opportunity for people to see them under a totally different angle for the duration of a night.
It is now so successful that walking in Lyon or Paris on that day has become challenging, so much people find the experience incredible and beyond their expectations. I invite you to visit the links I posted below (notably the snapshots tab), because if you ever get the chance to attend the events, you will not be disappointed:

Internal fighting is nothing compared
To what's going on outside
As they both fight
Am I to blame?
I struggle to hide
As the war has been declared
She's gone and slammed the door
Previous threats had meant nothing more.
As I lay down my sisters
I cower in the dark
Wondering where my mother has gone
And the journey we're about to embark.
This time I know
It's been a final straw
And I cannot choose sides,
But one must win,
They refuse to call it a draw.
This situation is toxic
For all of us involved
And I won't breathe easy
Until it's been resolved.
With all that has happened,
I fear for the worst
For the parent that's been favored
Or the one who has raised me since birth.
They fought over money,
They fought about me
And I'm ready to cry
Ready to die
Maybe then they'd be able to see
That all of this is confusing
And there's so much at risk of losing
It's tearing apart our family.
I don't want it to be like this
But I'd rather the past
When nothing was quite perfect
But it wasn't a broken cast.
Is she back again?
Will this time she stay?
No, it's only temporary,
This fight will continue to cause further dismay.

Monday 11 April
The week kicks off with a Schools program aimed at students in Year 10 studying the Carbon Cycle as part of their curriculum. This program will likely run over two days and include field trips to the in-forest demonstration site (a certified sustainable plantation), Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (a certified sustainable producer of timber products), a Production Native Forest coupe (certified managed by a sustainable manager) and Australian Paper (a certified sustainable producer of paper).
Tuesday 12 April
Day two of the Schools program.
Day one of the Sustainable Supply Chains for the Timber Economy of the Future conference. The conference will provide an opportunity to hear from Australian and International experts on a wide range of topics aimed at improving productivity and efficiency from trees in the ground to manufactured, value-added products.
Wednesday 13 April
Final day of the Sustainable Supply Chains conference.
Thursday 14 April
This will be the day of our industry field trips to steep terrain logging coup/s, Australian Sustainable Hardwoods, Radial Timber, HVP's Gelliondale Nursery and Australian Paper.
Tonight is the Welcome dinner and charity auction which will likely be well-attended by people from all sectors of the timber industry along with politicians who recognise the industry's importance. The charity auction will be in aid of Centenary House, which is largely staffed by volunteers and provides accommodation facilities for people coming from far and wide for out-patient care at the Latrobe Valley Hospital's Oncology department - a welcome respite for many of our folk throughout Gippsland in particular.
Friday 15 April
We have a seminar in planning entitled Wood: the intelligent alternative. This seminar will be designed to provide manufacturers with solid information on what they can do to tool up for the prefab construction market as well as providing government bodies with information on how they can encourage increased advanced manufacturing in their jurisdictions.
Lights, camera, action! This is day one of the Exhibition and Demonstration field days at our two active sites. The Flynn Creek In-forest site will feature outdoor static sites, in-forest displays, live harvesting and forwarding/skidding demonstrations, live in-field chipping demonstrations and exhibitions, truck&trailer test drives and a practical safety workshop. The Traralgon Showgrounds Manufacturing site will have a marquee sites for exhibiting and demonstrating the latest developments in timber processing equipment, systems and connectors for pre-fabrication manufacturers, displays of timber and panel products and treatments for designers, as well as a model display demonstrating the construction possibilities afforded by the use of massive timber.
Saturday 16 April
Final day of the Exhibition and Demonstration days at our two active sites and likely to be the biggest attendance day as industry employees and contractors bring their family along, possible new entrants to the industry explore for opportunities and the general public get to see how the modern timber industry works using the latest in technology.

pH Buffer with NO PHOSPHATES!
Does anyone know of a water buffer like API Proper pH 7 that doesn't contain Phosphates?

You stated on Sunday 6/26 that you have added aragonite or coral to your filter, this will take time to work (days) and thankfully so. Otherwise a rapid change in hardness along with ph would be stressful to lethal for your fish.
Cloudiness of water you spoke of in earlier post could be caused by different factors such as bacteria bloom in newly set up tank,overfeeding,overstocking,underfiltered tank,or not rinsing gravel before placing it in the tank, or not rinsing coral,aragonite added to filter.
Phosphate is added by many who keep planted tanks on nearly daily basis (see estimative index dosing) and does not cause cloudy water or algae directly.
The most important medication in your fish medicine cabinet is.. Clean water.

I know that but i have to buffer my tap water because it is to high for water changes. The only buffer i could find without phosphates is API Prpoer ph 8.2. i need something around 7 that doesnt have phosphates!!!!!!!!
post #4 of 7 Old 06-28-2011, 06:19 AM Thread Starter
Also on on the bottle as well as the website, API tells you not to use the Proper pH 7 with planted aquariums.

Hello and welcome to TFK Depending on the type of fish you are keeping your ph may actually be fine. For natural ways to lower your ph please read the following article http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/f...quarium-73276/ ph is related to hardness in the water and depending on what your carbon hardness is will depend on how easily your ph will adjust. This article will explain in more detail, and please do not use chemicals to try to adjust your ph, because this can lead to shifts in the ph which will actually be even more harmful to your fish.

This review is from: MSI H67MA-E45 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: The specs look good on paper.
Cons: The board will not post with a HDMI cable connected.
Other Thoughts: I paired this board with a i3 2100 and 4GB of ram. This was supposed to replace my existing MythTV frontend. Unfortunately the board will not post when you have a HDMI cable connected. I used an old monitor to get the system installed (Ubuntu 11.10). Once I connected the system to my Denon receiver, it would no longer post. To boot, you need to disconnect the HDMI cable, power the system on, and count to 10. Once the OS has booted you can reconnect the cable and the display works fine. The board came with a very old version of the BIOS, so this problem may have been corrected already but I have not found a way to update the BIOS without installing Windows. The "Live Update" utility in their clickable BIOS just hangs at 0%.
This board is going back tomorrow...
This review is from: ABIT AB9 Pro LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: 9 onboard SATA + 1 eSATA. Dual onboard PCI-E Gigabit ethernet.
Cons: With each BIOS update comes a whole host of exciting new bugs.
The SATA controllers seem to be very finicky. I went through 8 WD 500GB drives before I found 5 that would coexist at the same time connected to the primary SATA controller. The other 3 would only show up with a maximum of 4 drives on that controller, adding a 5th caused them to stop working.
Dual GigE is nice, but the chipset support is very hit or miss under Linux.
Other Thoughts: I have used this board in three cheap-o fileserver builds, each running Linux. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this board. I have to hold my breath every time I reboot one of these boxes because more often than not they don't come back up without some tinkering in the BIOS or repeated boot attempts.
I had pretty decent luck with the first 2 of these boards, but I pushed my luck with the 3rd by trying to use 8 SATA hard drives and a more recent C2D. I had much better luck with older CPU's and only a couple of hard drives.

Impact of Food Safety Standards on Processed Food Exports from Developing Countries
This paper examines the impact of food safety standards on processed food exports in developing countries. An intercountry cross-sectional econometric analysis of processed food exports in developing countries was undertaken. The Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standard (SPS) is incorporated into the model to capture the impact of food safety standards. The empirical model shows that food safety standards imposed by developed countries tend to have a negative implication for processed food exports from developing countries. Since SPS is less transparent than tariffs or quotas, practically, there is ample room for developed countries to tweak the standards to be stronger than necessary to achieve optimal levels of social protection, and to twist the related testing and certification procedures to make their own competing products competitive with imports. However, because of the potential benefits that could emerge from imposing food safety standards such as a reduction of transaction costs and trade friction, developing countries should view SPS not just as a trade barrier but an opportunity to upgrade quality standard and market sophistication. Multilateral efforts are needed to mobilize additional financial and technical assistance to help redress constraints in developing countries in meeting the required food safety standards imposed by developed countries.

Lost my music
I just used the amazon music mover app to try and get my music onto my sd card, but now I can't access my music at all. It won't play from any of the players, and I can't access it from the sd card. Is there any way I can get my music back onto my phone storage? Preferably without a computer as I don't own one. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

The GHz Edition moniker is typically used for AMD cards but in this case, GIGABYTE is porting it to the GTX 780 Ti. The end result is nothing short of spectacular.
Gigabyte's Z87X-UD4H represents an excellent combination of great features and a fair price but in such a competitive market, it needs to be a cut above to make the grade.
Gigabyte's new Z87X-UD5H may be targeted towards the upper end of the mid-range market but it incorporates features normally found on flagship models. But with such cutthroad competition among Haswell motherboards, will this be enough?
Gigabyte's GTX 780 WindForce OC may be the perfect graphics card. It boasts extremely quiet fans, low temperatures and GTX TITAN matching performance for less than $700.
NVIDIA's $170 GTX 650 Ti Boost has quickly become the go-to choice for gamers on a budget and board partners have been quick to jump on board. In this roundup, we take a look at cards from ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte, Galaxy and MSI, none of which cost in excess of $10 more than the reference [...]
