1994 Dodge Caravan Minivan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Has been very good
By KC on
Vehicle1994 Dodge Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
ReviewCaravan SE bought in 1994 with 10k miles from Thrifty Car Rental. Has been a very good car. 3.3 is peppy and fairly economical. Nice and roomy. Not 'sexy' but love the practicality. I don't use the third seat since I usually don't have passengers. Had a starting problem a few times and replaced starter. Air bag light came on but it was just fuse #13. No problems, just regular maintenance. A friend bought a '96 and had many major problems. Strangely, this Caravan has been more reliable than Honda and Toyota of same year/mileage in the family!
Best FeaturesI like the body style better than the newer ones. Good, peppy engine. Comfortable to get in and out. Roomy.
Worst FeaturesTurning radius is bad - turns on a dinner plate instead of a dime! Have to swing as wide as possible when doing a U turn. Heater could be better (I'm in Alaska). Backup lights aren't bright enough, cup holder is too shallow.

Discussion in 'Lost, Found, Stolen' started by FLYRODR, Nov 29, 2008.
Last spring I lost a Cabela's LST 9 ft 6 weight rod along with a Cabelas's RLS reel and a Rio floating line overboard. I was fishing about 150 yards from the launch area near the road. I had laid my rod/reel down since I had no strikes using a chironomid/strike indicator. Believe it or not a fish struck and that was the last I saw of my rod and reel. I trolled for several hours around the location but gave up thinking I would catch the floating line.
I did post a notice on the forum back then. Would appreciate a reply even if this is not the rig you found. Thanks drzeaus42
Sorry... not it.
is it something you found in the water or around it?
Lost a pin that holds the foot rest on my pontoon boat.
Gonna 'fess up on the item... Found a set of fins at the lauch site. For all I know, the owner won't realize they're missing until next spring. Oh well...
Ya made me go and look, not mine. I still have a pair of wading boats I found a month+ ago.

Thank you for you metronoms, first of all.
I used it for specific purpose: - tried to see if any tempo changes exist in my record. And I used your metronom accompanied by audio track.
It could be nice to have tweaking knob to synchronize starting bit of the metronom and played record. It is a bit tricky to manage to start metromon synchroniously with player :)

How can any of them get cancer , If Nuke tests where/are a hoax ?.
Photos of 1955 Atomic Bomb Test
Some rare and eerie photos of a replica town involved in an atomic bomb test in May 1955, including mannequins used to demonstrate the effects on people.
Scorched, male mannequin in suit of dark fabric indicates a human would be burned but alive.
Burned up except for face, this mannequin was 7,000 feet [one and a quarter miles] from blast.
Unburned, a lady mannequin with wig askew is wearing light-colored dress which absorbs less heat.
Remains of a house built for the test more than a mile from ground zero.
Fallen mannequin in house 5,500 feet from bomb is presumed dead.

And how many of these men inspecting the site developed cancer? Probably all of them.
Per the American Cancer Society of the 3000 workers at the Smoky nuclear test in Nevada (1957) there was an expected incidence of 4 cancers. A total of 10 was recorded by 1970. It would be impossible to tell how these other cancers were contracted. Smoking? Carcinogens?
Actually a small portion of the scientists and investigators who went into "ground zero" after the test later developed some form of cancer, BUT what I am anxious to learn is how many experienced damage to their actual DNA and passed mutations along to their children.
And they thought this was a good thing…disturbing on many levels!
Wow, how exceptional.

Child Migrant Crisis At The Border
The United States border has seen a surge of unaccompanied minors migrating from Central America and entering the U.S. illegally, often surrendering to federal agents. Dubbed a humanitarian crisis by the Obama administration, the situation ignited a political firestorm.
Fronteras Desk has covered this story from the parking lot of the Greyhound bus station in Tucson, Ariz., to the makeshift family detention center in Artesia, N.M., to an airport in El Salvador where deported women and children were returned.
At the Greyhound Bus Station, where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement drop off migrants, volunteers administer supplies, transportation and temporary housing. Now they need to move their operation elsewhere.
July 14, 2014
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson toured a newly opened detention facility for immigrant families in New Mexico. He believes detention will deter future illegal crossings.
July 11, 2014
The legislation is intended to stem the flow of child migrants. It would also allow more people in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to apply for asylum at the U.S. consulates in those countries.
July 10, 2014
A new federal lawsuit is challenging the fact that most children in deportation proceedings aren't provided with court-appointed attorneys.
July 09, 2014
The federal government has denied volunteer attorneys access to the Nogales, Ariz., facility housing unaccompanied migrant children. Now, attorneys say upcoming changes could make it even harder for these children to get due process.
July 06, 2014
The First Lady of Guatemala is in Southern Arizona to see how the region is handling the surge of unaccompanied child migrants, many of them from her home country.
July 02, 2014
On Wednesday, Secretary of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer met in Nogales, Ariz., to tour a facility where unaccompanied child migrants are being housed. The secretary sent a message about the risks of crossing the border illegally.
June 25, 2014
The latest wave of Central American families and children crossing the Southwest border in recent months is triggering déjà vu for some. In the 1980s about a million Guatemalans and Salvadorans fled to the U.S., escaping civil war.
June 25, 2014
On Wednesday morning, members of the media were allowed their first visit inside the Nogales processing center that is housing about a thousand migrant children who crossed the border illegally without their parents.
June 18, 2014
Nogales residents have been collecting donated clothes for migrant children who are being held at a local facility.

This post is by Adam Hepworth, a 2L at Stanford Law School and a CLB student fellow.
Should we require someone convicted of jumping over a subway turnstile to give DNA to a state law enforcement database? New York became the first state to do just that in March when the legislature passed a bill requiring individuals convicted of most misdemeanors to give a DNA sample. Previously, the state limited its DNA collection to individuals convicted of felonies and a handful of serious misdemeanors (like those relating to sexual abuse). The new law is startling because of how many more individuals will be required to give DNA samples; but at the same time, it comes as no surprise: state and federal governments have been ratcheting up DNA database laws for the last decade.
The first DNA collection laws provided a list of serious felony convictions that would trigger sampling requirements. Congress, for instance, passed the DNA Act in 2000; California passed its version even earlier in 1998. These laws were soon broadened to require individuals convicted of any felony to give DNA samples.
California was one of the first states to move beyond taking DNA samples only from convicted felons. Voters passed Proposition 69 in 2004, which immediately required DNA collection from some felony arrestees, and after five years required collection from adults arrested for any felony at all. California thus joined the growing number of states to take DNA samples from individuals who would never be convicted – and in some cases would never even face formal charges.
The federal government followed California's lead in 2005 and 2006, amending the DNA Act to allow collection of DNA samples from individuals who are arrested, facing charges, or convicted. Both California's law and the federal law were challenged in court as violating the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on "unreasonable searches and seizures." In the last two years, both challenges were rejected by federal courts of appeal.
The federal law was upheld by the Third Circuit in 2011. In an en banc opinion, the majority argued that DNA taken from arrestees and detainees facing charges is primarily used for identification purposes in the same way as fingerprints. The court found that the government's legitimate interest in identification outweighs the diminished privacy interests of arrestees and pretrial detainees; concerns that the government might begin using DNA profiles for more than identification were brushed aside: "We are 'mindful of the vast amount of sensitive information that can be mined from a person's DNA' . . . Nevertheless, every one of our sister circuits to have considered [these concerns] has rejected them given their speculative nature and the safeguards attendant to DNA collection and analysis." United States v. Mitchell, 652 F.3d 387, 407 (3d Cir. 2011).
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on the challenge to California's law this year. The suit had been brought by a group of plaintiffs who were arrested – but either never charged or never taken to court – for conduct like trying to take a person from police custody during a demonstration. The Court found that collecting DNA samples from arrestees was not an unreasonable search because the Government's compelling interest in identifying arrestees, solving past crimes, preventing future crimes, and exonerating innocent suspects outweighed the reduced privacy interests of arrestees. See Haskell v. Harris, 669 F.3d 1049 (9th Cir. 2012).
To date, the Ninth and Third Circuits are the only federal courts of appeal to have considered the constitutionality of DNA collection from arrestees, and it will likely be years before New York's new statute faces appellate review. (Collection of DNA samples from convicted felons has been widely considered and universally upheld. Mitchell, 652 F.3d at 397 (citing nine circuit courts that have upheld DNA collection from convicted felons)). Nonetheless, the trend is clear: state and federal statutory schemes increasingly direct law enforcement to grow DNA databanks by collecting samples from a wider cross section of individuals who come into contact with the criminal justice system. We began by collecting DNA from individuals convicted of the most serious felonies; now we collect DNA from convicted misdemeanor offenders and felony arrestees.
It may be that larger DNA databanks are a good thing. As the Ninth Circuit argued, they help solve past crimes, prevent future crimes, and exonerate innocent suspects. But of course, those policy justifications support taking DNA from every individual; a national DNA database would no doubt be a powerful law enforcement tool.
If we aren't ready to go that far, we should stop to think about whether it makes sense to treat arrestees and those convicted of misdemeanors as a subclass of citizens with a reduced privacy interest in their own DNA. We may worry that following this course exacerbates existing biases in the criminal justice system and encourages law enforcement to linger its eye on those individuals unlucky enough to attract its gaze even for a moment.
Racial and ethnic minorities, for instance, face increased law enforcement scrutiny because of expansive DNA collection policies. For example, FBI crime reports in 2010 found that black arrestees made up 28% of arrests despite comprising only 13% of the population. DNA databanks reflect this racial disproportionality, making it more likely that police investigations will target minorities. This, in turn, perpetuates already dramatic racial disparities in sentencing and imprisonment rates (for instance, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that on the last day of 2010 black males were imprisoned at a rate seven times higher than white males).
A similar story can be told for any group disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system. The broader concern is that expanding DNA collection laws have shifted a line once drawn between serious offenders and the rest of the population to one roughly drawn between people who have brushed up against law enforcement and those who have not. There is a basic question about whether it is fair to create a law enforcement system that investigates the same individuals over and over again – individuals who may first have been targeted for a relatively minor offense, or even purely by mistake.
On top of this, we may worry that the limitations and risks of DNA evidence will go unnoticed in a world where DNA databases are populated by individuals perceived to be "on the wrong side of the law." DNA evidence is not always a silver bullet, if for no other reason than that collection, testing, and interpretation are susceptible to human error; but it is tempting to understate these kinds of evidentiary concerns when DNA databases point to suspects seen as known lawbreakers.
In any case, it's time to take notice of the creeping expansion of DNA collection laws in the last decade and decide how far we are willing to take these laws. Otherwise, we might look back ten years from now and see that they have crept right past the limits that we thought reasonable.

SSH - PuTTYgen
This article will take you through generating RSA keys using PuTTYgen on Windows for secure SSH authentication with OpenSSH.
One effective way of securing SSH access to your slice is to use a public/private key. This means that a 'public' key is placed on the server and the 'private' key is on our local workstation. This makes it impossible for someone to log in using just a password, provided you have setup SSH to deny password-based authentication (which you can learn how to do here).
Generate Keys
In Windows we will use PuTTYgen to generate our public and private keys. Download PuTTYgen from the official website and open it. Click the Generate button as seen below. You will notice that it generates the keys for you. All you need to do now is save the public and private keys by clicking the buttons stating as such.
Open up your public key, copy it to the clipboard (ctrl+a, ctrl+c) and paste it at the very end of
~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your Slice. If that file doesn't already exist, you will have to create it (
nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys).
To make use of your newly generated RSA key pair, you will need to tell PuTTY to use it when connecting to your Slice. Do this by opening PuTTY and going to the "SSH" -> "Auth" section. Browse to where you saved the keys and load the private key as seen below:
Make PuTTY use the key every time you connect to your Slice by saving this configuration. After loading your key as shown above, go back to "Session" and save your session:
Once you have saved your session, your key will be loaded automatically upon connecting to your Slice.
Opting for a key-based authentication to your SSH server is beneficial in many ways. By eliminating the possibility of SSH brute-force attacks targeted towards your Slice, the chances of it being compromised are decreased by an order of magnitude.
Article Comments:
If you have a current private key on a linux or mac box you can import into putty with puttygen you will have to get it on your windows box somehow
1 - open puttygen 2 - File -> Load Private Key -> choose to were your private key is 3 - You will get a notice saying "Successfully imported foeign key..." 4 - click on the "Save Private key" button and choose where to save it. 5 - Then use the steps in the above article to launch your session using the Private key.
No matter how many times I try to do this whenever I try to log into my slice it tells me "Server refused our key" and then asks me for my password.
I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 ... I know that's not much to go on, but I'm completely at a loss. Any ideas?
You can also use Putty's own Authentication Agent, Pageant (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/pageant.exe) as opposed to statically linking your Private key in
SSH -> Auth.
Saves a lot of Putty session tweaking, and having to enter the passphrase everytime you want to start up a new SSH session (if you don't unload your key or exit pageant between sessions).
@John, have you tried the alternative format in
I.e. the one liner starting
ssh-rsa ....
We are trying to secure our ssh connection. Everytime we login we get "Server refused our key". THis happens every time i connect no matter how many users i create. Please help asap. The only way i was able to access was to rollback the iptables to the default non secure settings.
Christopher and John
The problem you have is if you are using openssh server with ssh2 then authorized_keys file should be one line format. Typically you will want to select the entire contents of the box using the mouse, press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard, and then paste the data into a PuTTY session which is already connected to the server.(You can do this before you save the public key). Again, check the content of the authorized_keys, it should be one line format.
Another reason; you may use ssh.com (not likely) for ssh server and try to use OpenSSH public key for server. That doesnt work. You need to convert your key to ssh.com format from conversion menu in puttygen.
@John, and anyone with the same problem:
[How to set up SSH keys: Frustration with "Server refused our key"](http://andremolnar.com/howto_setupsshkeyswithputtyandnotgetserverrefusedour_key
This worked for me.
@zoltan That's a great site and really helped out. Thanks!
i tried this and had some sucess but in the end used this guide which is simple, concise and just works. http://www.ualberta.ca/CNS/RESEARCH/LinuxClusters/pka-putty.html
There's one potential very dangerous loophole on this. What would happen when you lost your private key and have prohibited password authentication as well as root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
Anyway to rescue the server when this happens? It sure CAN happen to anyone.
Sure, simply use the console in the Slicemanager. This is a direct connection to your Slice. You can then log in and change the settings (remove the keys, etc).
The web console is perfect for such occurrences.
The whole tutorial is sloppy. I've spent numerous hours trying to load a key using the "help" and still get the error "Server refused our key".
I confess, it seems pretty straightforward to me, as instructions go. The article doesn't cover everything that could go wrong though - it just covers the basic steps you take copying the key to the server.
That said, I wouldn't mind adding some troubleshooting advice, so if we can figure out what went wrong for you, I'll work that in there. Some possibilities...
Make sure that the key you pasted into authorized_keys is all on one line (no new lines after "ssh-rsa" for example).
Make sure you didn't accidentally leave a character out when you copied and pasted. I only mention this one because I've done it before and it took a while before I found that mistake.
If you had to create the authorized_keys file, you might need to make sure the permissions are restrictive enough that SSH feels comfortable using the key (if you're uncertain, just run "chmod 600 authorized_keys" and try connecting again).
The permissions on your .ssh directory may also need fixing. Try a "chmod 700 .ssh" in your home directory and then try the connection again.
Failing those, I'll fix the link someone posted above to a decent blog post someone made specifically for troubleshooting that issue. Creating the key on the server and then importing that private key into putty is an option they mention there. It's a good option if you still have trouble with what puttygen creates, so I'll plan on getting an article up here that describes that process too.
"Open up your public key, copy it to the clipboard (ctrl+a, ctrl+c) and paste it at the very end of ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys on your Slice. If that file doesn't already exist, you will have to create it (nano ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys)."
Whenever I run "nano ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys" and try and writeout, I get the error: [ Error writing /root/.ssh/authorizedkeys: No such file or directory ] - so how do I create this file first, so that I can save to it?
I expect you'll also need to create the ".ssh" directory in root's home directory, so "mkdir /root/.ssh". Be warned, though, that you probably don't want to allow direct SSH connections to the root account if you can help it. It's more secure to disable root logins entirely via the sshd_config then ssh into a user account you've created. Then you can use sudo to perform administrative tasks from there.
yeah, i did have a little trouble with this, but i am by no stretch of the imagination well versed in bash or really any server stuff.
@jared + others, your comments helped, though. i think, ultimately, the issue for me was that putty wasn't saving the reference to the file in the session profile (after i'd done half a dozen other things wrong first lol)
changing permissions, making sure that putty is using your private key, worked for me. thanks to all.
Ok, got ssh key to work using instructions found here - adnrewmolnar.com
Basically, it seems Puttygen generated keys are not compatible with openssh keys...so you need to generate the keys on the server and then import the key in puttygen using 'load' option to modify it to work with putty.
hope that helps others.
The comment system's a little weird with underscores. Well, and a few other things. Sorry about that Alauddin.
I went ahead and fixed the original URL by turning it into a link, then went ahead and removed your additional attempts. Thanks for trying so hard, and for posting the link. ;)
For those who is afraid of their private key to be stolen: you can add the 'from="xx.xx.xx.xx"' parameter just before 'ssh-rsa' words in your authorized_keys file. This makes ssh-server to refuse the key when client is connecting from the ip-address other than xx.xx.xx.xx

LEIU maintains a criminal intelligence clearinghouse that facilitates the timely exchange of confidential information among its 240 local, state, and federal member agencies. Its annual conference provides for certificated training and the opportunity for intelligence professionals to network with other members and their associates. LEIU also provides its members with evaluation and technical assistance in the formation and organization of their agency's intelligence function. In addition, LEIU provides timely publications and appropriate advocacy for professional criminal intelligence standards on the national level. LEIU is an agency-based membership.

Full Details of History, Purpose, and Operations
Full Details of File Guidelines
- As a result of the recognized need for a coordinated exchange of criminal information between local law enforcement agencies on traveling criminals, twenty six (26) law enforcement agencies met in San Francisco, California on March 29, 1956 to discuss problems and possible solutions. The most important result of that meeting was the creation of the LAW ENFORCEMENT INTELLIGENCE UNIT (LEIU) whose sole function was to address this issue of sharing confidential criminal information. Over the succeeding decades, LEIU's membership grew to over 240 agencies and it subsequently opened its membership to federal agencies. In 2008, in order to more appropriately represent its membership, LEIU changed its name to the Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Units. It has, however, maintained its original acronym—LEIU.

October saw a 25% decrease in home sales month over month in the Saskatoon real estate market. This reduced activity sustained inventory levels of available property in Saskatoon to just below 2,000 units. "Based on the rate of home sales in October it would take nearly 7 months to absorb the current available inventory", according to Jason Yochim, CEO with the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS®. In spite of the decrease in sales activity and higher inventory levels, the average price in Saskatoon has only decreased by 1% year to date. "Although averages give some sense of where the market is at they can be misleading. An increase in sales in one price range can skew the results." adds Yochim "a better indicator of where the market is trending is the Home Price Index (HPI)." The MLS® Home Price Index is the most accurate indicator of market trends. It measures change in market value similar to the Consumer Price Index. The composite benchmark value for the Saskatoon market in October was $310,200, virtually unchanged from the previous month. The composite index of 235.6 has been trending downward since July this year reversing a gradual upward trend which began in January. This index is at its lowest level in two years and looks to continue its downward direction. By comparison this index was at 124.6 in January of 2007 rising to its peak of 230.8 in May of 2008 before the market corrected.
Although there has been a decrease in home sales in most price ranges, there was a notable decline in the sale of homes above $700,000 month over month. In October of 2014, a total of 11 homes in excess of $750,000 sold eclipsing the 3 that sold this past month. Year to date, home sales in Saskatoon have declined by 14% from 4,002 units to 3,459. Comparatively, the number of homes listed for sale was up 8% by the end of October. This has resulted in sustained inventory levels of 1,955 units, a 26% increase over last year. Total dollar volume for the Saskatoon market at the end of last month was $1,6 Billion, that is down 15% from last year and by year end will likely equal the volume of 2013.
"The current buyers' market is likely to remain for the foreseeable future until existing inventory is absorbed." says Yochim. "If priced to market, homes will sell within the average of a month and a half." New home construction has slowed, especially in the multi-family market. With higher inventory levels, buyers have more to choose from in the market. The tendency for buyers is to wait on a purchase hoping prices drop significantly. "Although there will be a downward adjustment in pricing, I don't anticipate a significant change as some have predicted." comments Yochim.

Daddy Gear
by Jed Gibson
No critic rating
Waiting for minimum critic reviews
Daddy Gear (Everything I Wish I'd Known When I Became a Dad) is for men (and women) to help them get ready for their first child. Written from a man's point of view, it focuses on preparation, stuff (the things you nee to buy), and lessons learned (a.k.a. parenting).
What's a receiving blanket used for? How many different types of strollers am I likely to get? Which one will I use the most? How do you know when to get a bottle ready? What in the world in Mylicon? Confused? I know I was. Once you live through it, it becomes second nature. I had the opportunity to write about it while it was fresh.
When we were pregnant with our second child my brother called and asked me for a list of the stuff he'd needed when they had their first baby. As I started writing, I began to break the "stuff" into categories based on usage. But what's a list without the perspective added by experience? So this simple list grew to something more.
As I compiled this information for my brother, I realized there were more than just "things" I needed to talk about. My wife and I had experiences my brothers was sure to have as well. I started adding information about situations, in addition to gear, and my list began to grow into a book. Being sensitive to the sequence of events to come, the section about preparation with information about doctors, the hospital, and giving birth appears before the one about stuff (a.k.a. Daddy Gear.)
But after all that planning, your journey really begins with the birth of your child. How do you find a pediatrician? A baby sitter? So I added the third part of the book. It includes stories and lessons learned. The most important of which, to me, is "Laughter, Hugs, and Kisses."
Daddy Gear passes on a wealth of information, from a new dad's point of view, that will help you prepare for your first baby.

Spyker and Chinese Youngman Group agreed to make a joint venture to manufacture a new super SUV and sedans based on Saab's Phoenix platform.
The new SUV is expected to reach showrooms by the end of 2014, but the companies gave no timeline for the Phoenix-based sedan. Youngman said it will invest 10 million euro in Spyker, from which 7 million will be used for stock shares constituting 29.9% of the supercar automaker, while the other 3 million represent a loan for Spyker. Youngman has already bought 46 million shares for 2.3 million euro.
The Spyker P2P joint venture will be 25% owned by Spyker and 75% by Youngman, which will also offer most of the cash for the operation. Spyker will offer its technology and the platform for the SUV, which will resemble the Spyker D8 Peking-to-Paris concept, but it will be manufactured on a unique aluminum spaceframe. The model will go on sale in late 2014 for around $250,000.
The Saab-based sedans will be manufactured by a second joint venture called Spyker Phoenix, which will 80% owned by Youngman, which bought the rights for the Phoenix platform in 2011. Spyker announced that this new venture will build a full range of premium car models based on the Phoenix platform.

BAKU, AZERBAIJAN - Next week in Baku, Azerbaijan, ministers from 10 countries spanning the Caucuses, and Central, East and South Asia will gather to mark a decade of achievement, including $17 billion of investments in energy, trade and transportation under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program.
"The first decade of CAREC put in place a framework for cooperation, and carried out regional projects as a means to achieve development objectives of member countries," said Juan Miranda, Asian Development Bank (ADB) Director General for Central and West Asia. "In the next decade, CAREC will help boost international trade and improve the competitiveness of member countries through a program of strategic regional investments in transport, trade facilitation, and energy."
The CAREC partnership counts more than 120 projects to date, including six extensive transport corridors and energy networks that are beginning to improve lives and livelihoods across the region. ADB has contributed $5.5 billion to total CAREC investments since 2001. The ring road, rail and electricity projects in Afghanistan, and the East-West Corridor in Azerbaijan are flagship programs that embody CAREC.
About 4,000 km of road and 2,250 km of railway lines have been built or upgraded, opening up corridors of trade and opportunity. Streamlined customs procedures are moving people and their businesses across borders faster and at less cost. Electricity transmission lines and upgraded power plants are beginning to boost the vital energy trade in the region that will bring prosperity and security.
Established in 2001, CAREC brings together Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the People's Republic of China (PRC), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It promotes the implementation of regional projects in energy, transport, and trade facilitation from northern PRC to the Caucasus and Europe, and from Kazakhstan to the warm water ports of Karachi, Gwadar and beyond.
The Ministerial Conference, to be held from 22-24 November, will also launch CAREC 2020 as the new roadmap for the next 10 years. This will provide a blueprint to help countries expand trade, spur competitiveness in the broader global economy, and reposition Central Asia as the pivot of regional trade.
Six multilateral institutions support the work of CAREC: ADB, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, International Monetary Fund, Islamic Development Bank, United Nations Development Programme, and World Bank. ADB has served as the CAREC Secretariat since 2001.

1960s was among the prominent figures of the Soviet avant-garde.
Today, she is considered one of the most significant composers. A
rising figure in New York City's contemporary music scene, Beata Moon's

of the music for this program uses the duo combination of shakuhachi
and 20-string koto. While the 13-string koto has been performed
in Japan for over 400 years, the 20-string version was invented only in
1969 by the renowned composer Minoru Miki. The addition of seven lower
strings, gives a new depth and range to the instrument and many pieces
of music have been created using this instrument. On this program four
pieces will feature this unique instrument.MINORU MIKI - Music for AutumnTAKASHI YOSHIMATSU - Soh Gyo Fu JAMES NYORAKU SCHLEFER - Duo #3 YUMI KUROSAWA - Rapture The

Music and Jazz.Born in Morioka, Japan, Yumi Kurosawa began
studying the 13-stringed-Koto from the age of three under her parents,
Kazuo and Chikako Kurosawa. At the age of fifteen she was drawn to the
contemporary sound and technique of the 20-stringed-Koto and began
studying the 20-stringed-Koto under Nanae Yoshimura, and classical Koto
music under Sosui Yoshimura. Kurosawa received first prize at National
Koto competition for students, Japan in 1989 and 1992. She performed a

Opening Reception: March 16 (Fri.) 6-8 pmFREECurated
by Thalia Vrachopoulos, Ph. D., the exhibition focuses on the continued
development of Rosenberg's work through large scale paintings,
including the exploration of the human form in motion, its transitory
states, the synthesis of light, color, and dynamic structure. Rosenberg
has explored the human form in motion for more than twenty years with a
unique emphasis on dance. Working directly from figures in rehearsal or
in improvised movement, he integrates the explosive energy of dance
with the emotional intensity of action painting. His focus has included
leading dance groups such as American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theater of
Harlem, Mark Morris Dance Group, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
and many others from the downtown dance world. Laban
movement analyst Linda Nutter, Ph. D., CMA, writes, "Rosenberg draws
dancers in the process of becoming the dance. His work communicates an
intrinsic knowledge of the body – its manner of shaping itself to the
environment, its spatial tensions and its dynamic potential. Rosenberg
has developed a mode of sensing/rendering the dance in a way that
reflects its essential characteristics." According to art
historian Richard Kendall, "Fundamental to these encounters is the
possibility of new pictorial experience, of pressing at the barriers of
visual syntax and expanding the life of painting itself. Some of his
completed images are almost shocking in their promiscuous life,
bursting out of the constraints of familiar technique as well as the
polite protocols of modernism." Rosenberg's work has been
exhibited at Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris,
Museum of Modern Art, Frances Wolfson Art Gallery, Miami, Konsthallen
Goteborg, Sweden, The Clocktower, Albright Knox Art Gallery, Institute
of Art and Urban Resources, BM Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul, Sao
Paulo Bienal, Hayden Gallery at M.I.T., Queens Museum, Museo de Arte
Contemporanio de Oaxaca, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Mudima
Fondazione per l'Arte Contemporanea, Milan among others. His work is
included in several museum collections such as the Smithsonian
American Art Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Brooklyn
Museum of Art, and Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna. Rosenberg
lives and works in New York City.

International Music Festivals and have toured major university and
chamber music series nationally, as well as performing in Korea.
Featured as the chamber ensemble in-residence at the White Mountains
Festival, they have been heard on New York City radio stations WQXR and
WNYC, WGBH in Boston, Minnesota Public Radio and on National Public
Radio's Performance Today. Koch International Classics released
the ensemble's debut recording of French chamber music for winds. The
ensemble continues to explore music from different cultures - notably
"Sounds of the Americas", "Russian Nights", "Scandinavian Sounds", and
"Croatian Composers" – as well as a historical series of concerts "From
the Library of Georges Barr�re". Many of the works they perform
are written for a variety of instrumental groupings and have included
collaborations with guest artists such as conductors Gerard Schwarz and
Ransom Wilson, the Guarneri String Quartet, pianists Claude Frank and
Edmund Battersby, harpsichordist Kenneth Cooper, mezzo-soprano Wendy
White, narrator Robert Sherman, actor Louis Zorich, and the American
Brass Quintet.

Jacobsen began his violin studies at the age of four with Doris
Rothenberg and continued with Louise Behrend at the School for Strings
and, later, at The Juilliard School Pre-College Division, where he won
the school-wide concerto competition. He was also the recipient of the
Grand Prize from both the New York State and National American String
Teachers Association Competitions. Mr. Jacobsen studied with Josef
Gingold for two summers, and graduated in 1999 from The Juilliard
School, where he worked with Robert Mann. During the 2000-2001 season,
he continued his studies with Vera Beths at the Royal Conservatory of
the Hague.Over the past few years, Colin Jacobsen has pursued a
varied career of solo and chamber music engagements. In addition to his
appearance with the New York Philharmonic, Mr. Jacobsen has been guest
soloist with the symphony orchestras of Albany, Charlotte, Eugene,
Rhode Island, Nashville, Charleston, the Metamorphosen Chamber
Orchestra, Santa Fe Pro Musica and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra.
He has given recitals at Long Island University's Tilles Center for the
Performing Arts and the San Miguel de Allende Music Festival in Mexico.
At the School for Strings 25th anniversary celebration at Carnegie
Hall, Mr. Jacobsen gave the world premiere of Ellen Taafe Zwillich's
Partita for Violin and String Orchestra. Since making her
professional operatic debut at the age of eighteen, Sadie Rosales has
been an active performer in musical theater, opera, and concert
repertoire. Favorite roles include Suor Angelica, Donna Anna in
Don Giovanni, Magda in La Rondine, Elle in La Voix Humaine, the Female
Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia, and Laetitia in The Old Maid and the
Thief . When she was sixteen years old, Ms. Rosales was accepted into
the prestigious Young Artist Program at the Cleveland Institute of
Music, where she then remained to pursue her undergraduate degree. She
won several awards while in Cleveland including back-to-back
Encouragement Awards from the Metropolitan Opera Council, and the
Encouragement Award in the Lyric Opera Cleveland Voice
Competition. Upon graduation, she was awarded the Italo Tajo
Prize in Opera, the Max Berman Prize in Opera, and membership into the
Pi Kappa Lambda Honorary Music Society. Soon after, she was
personally invited by Pablo Elvira to sing her first Musetta to
his Marcello in La Boheme produced by Intermountain Opera. An active
concert performer, Ms. Rosales has made numerous appearances in New
York City as a soloist in Vivaldi's Gloria, Haydn's Dixit Dominus,
Ives' Celestial Country, Poulenc's Gloria, and Charpentier's Troisieme
Lecon. Also a champion of contemporary music, she has made appearances
in many festivals including the MATA Festival and the Look and Listen
Festival. Recently, she premiered Angler, David Fetherolf's work
for Chamber Orchestra and Soprano with the Lost Dog Ensemble. Pianist
Benjamin Hochman is achieving widespread acclaim for his performances
as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. Though only
in his mid-twenties, he is an imaginatively mature artist with an
innate ability to combine beauty of line within the overall shape of a
piece. The Washington Post praised his "flowing artistry" in a recital
at the National Gallery of Art and The Cincinnati Post wrote that he
"shone in his Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra debut" and had "a crystal
clear tone and articulation to match" performing Mozart's Piano
Concerto, K. 271 under Jaime Laredo in April 2006. After hearing
Benjamin Hochman at the Marlboro Festival, pianist Mitsuko Uchida
recommended him to conductor Zubin Mehta, resulting in his first
orchestral engagement with the Israel Philharmonic two seasons ago and
an immediate re-engagement with the orchestra for his Carnegie Hall
debut. Pinchas Zukerman has additionally invited him to perform and
tour with the Zukerman ChamberPlayers.
Rider is devoted to the exploration and expansion of the string quartet
literature. They have worked with composers such as Chen Yi, Osvaldo
Golijov, Dimitry Yanov-Yanovsky, Shirish Korde and Kayhan Kalhor and
have collaborated with such diverse figures as violinist Jenny
Scheinman, singer songwriter Christina Courtin, storyteller Ben
Haggerty and visual artist Kevork Mourad. Last November, Brooklyn Rider
helped to curate a week-long residency at National Public Radio's
Performance Today. In an effort to engage audiences in innovative ways,
Brooklyn Rider often appears under the umbrella of outside initiatives
begun by all four members of the group. This past summer they
inaugurated the Stillwater Music Festival in Minnesota, offering
performances and master classes to the surrounding community. In 2003
violinist Johnny Gandelsman created In A Circle , a series of
performance events in Lower Manhattan that explore connections between
music and the visual arts. Brothers Colin and Eric Jacobsen are the
founders of The Knights, a chamber orchestra based in New York that has
recently appeared at Long Island's Beethoven Festival and premiered
'Harmony' in collaboration with composer/violinist Mark O'Connor. The
quartet's name is inspired in part by the creations, interests and
cross disciplinary visions of the Blue Rider group; an artistic
association comprised of Vassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Arnold
Schoenberg and Alexander Scriabin, to name a few. The group draws
additional inspiration from the exploding array of cultures and
artisitic energy found in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, a
place they also call home.

The only games that separate the US from their World Cup opener with Ghana in Brazil are three international friendlies.
Jurgen Klinsmann will bring 30 players into camp before the game against Azerbaijan, and there are many questions as to who will fill these spots. So, here's my attempt at trying to predict the 30, knowing everything we know after the Ukraine and Mexico friendlies.
Goalkeepers: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Nick Rimando
Thankfully, this is one position for the US that is already safe and secure. Barring injury, these will be the three goalkeepers heading to Brazil.
Defenders: Fabian Johnson, DaMarcus Beasley, Omar Gonzalez, Matt Besler, Geoff Cameron, Clarence Goodson, Michael Orozco, Michael Parkhurst, Brad Evans.
For the sake of clarity, I regard both Beasley and Johnson as defenders first so that's why they are listed here. One of those two will likely start at left back, and Geoff Cameron should start on the other side. Despite Cameron's ability to play almost anywhere, he is the best right back in the pool, and therefore should be the one starting there.
Parkhurst is the best pure defender in the pool, and should be able to deputize anywhere needed along the back 4, in place of Cameron. For the fourth centerback, Orozco is better than both Onyewu and Brooks, at this stage of the game, and his play for the national team has always been consistent enough to earn at least a trip to the May camp. I've never been a believer in the Brad Evans experiment, but he should at least get to camp barring further injury.
In terms of snubs, both Tim Ream and Eric Lichaj haven't done enough on the national team stage to warrant inclusion, and DeAndre Yedlin is better served for the future as opposed to now.
Midfielders: Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Kyle Beckerman, Graham Zusi, Mix Diskerud, Alejandro Bedoya, Landon Donovan, Brad Davis, Brek Shea, Julian Green, José Torres, Danny Williams.
Making up the numbers here was difficult, but this is the best approximation that I could make. The interesting players in here are Davis and Shea, but I highly doubt any of them make the 23. Even though José Torres hasn't been called for national duty since September 2013, his play for Tigres, should it continue, might well get him a call into the May camp.
Danny Williams has an outside chance of making the team as well, but the numbers in central midfield are stacked against him. Kyle Beckerman's recent form makes him one of the few stone cold locks in midfield, along with Bradley and Jones.
Zusi, Mix, Bedoya, and Donovan are all likely to make the team, but their places aren't 100% assured yet.
In terms of snubs, Sasha Klejstan will have gripes about not being included in the team, as will Maurice Edu and Benny Feilhaber.
Forwards: Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Aron Johannson, Chris Wondolowski, Terrence Boyd, Eddie Johnson.
Although Jozy's had an awful year at Sunderland, he will be starting at the World Cup, no matter what happens. Clint Dempsey is playing more as forward lately than advanced midfield, so that's why he's listed under this category. Chris Wondolowski has probably gained the most in his recent call-ups to the national team, and may be ahead of the likes of Terrence Boyd in the discussion to make the 23-man-squad.
Out of the named forwards I personally believe Boyd is the best approximation of Jozy Altidore, but his recent lack of playing time has hurt his chances. Lastly, Eddie Johnson, in spite of his reputation and form should make the cut for friendly games, mainly because of his ability to score big goals.
Now that my list of 30 for the USMNT friendlies is settled, here is my best guess at the 23 heading to Brazil.
Goalkeepers: Howard, Guzan, Rimando.
Defenders: Cameron, Gonzalez, Besler, Goodson, Beasley, Parkhurst, Johnson.
Midfielders: Bradley, Jones, Beckerman, Donovan, Zusi, Bedoya, Diskerud, Green.
Forwards: Altidore, Johannson, Dempsey, Wondolowski, Boyd.

Court upholds 1st ban on gay-to-straight therapy
spring street SALT LAKE CITY, UTAug. 29, 2013 4:34 p.m.
@ SCfan: So, you equate genital shock therapy and induced vomiting with religion? Interesting. Or are you perhaps implying that religion causes depression and suicide?
I'm really not sure how you think your comment has anything to do with this discussion unless you think religion creates a known harm to children and society.
@ happy2bhere: There are a great many things that were accepted in the past that we now know we were wrong on. And interestingly, there has always been someone to claim that the non-acceptance of that disproven idea would eventually lead to the downfall of society. So far, that hasn't happened. And I really doubt your scenario will come to pass either.
SCfan clearfield, UTAug. 29, 2013 3:32 p.m.
You know spring street, some could make the same argument about parents teaching a certain religion to their children. You want government interfearing with that? And don't think the 9th Circus would not uphold it.
happy2bhere clearfield, UTAug. 29, 2013 3:28 p.m.
Interesting that homosexuality used to be classified under "abnormal psychology". Won't be long before we "evolve" to the point where heterosexuality is classified as abnormal.
Contrariusester mid-state, TNAug. 29, 2013 3:22 p.m.
@Chris --
"It is worth noting that many people have had success under this program."
It is worth noting that you have never yet produced one shred of evidence to back up your claim of benefit, despite being asked several times to do so.
It is a fact, however, that many people are harmed by this so-called "therapy".
For some actual facts -- in contrast to Chris' counterfactual claims -- here's a few sources to refer to. These are mostly available online.
-- "Position Statement on Therapies Focused on Attempts to Change Sexual Orientation" -- American Psychiatric Association
-- "Youth in the Crosshairs: The Third Wave of Ex-Gay Activism" -- National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute
-- "Gay Rights, Patient Rights: The Implications of Sexual Orientation Conversion Therapy" -- in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice
-- "Report of the American Psychological Association Task Force on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses
to Sexual Orientation"
-- "Ethical issues related to conversion or reparative therapy" -- American Counseling Association
-- "'Therapies' to change sexual orientation lack medical justification and threaten health " -- Pan American Health Organization
-- "Sexual orientation conversion therapy for gay men and lesbians: A scientific examination" -- in Homosexuality: Research Implications for Public Policy

The success rate for this type of therapy is .05%! That means that for every 10,000 people who tried this method, 5 could claim that they were cured of they same sex attraction. But most of those successes simply said that they were not attracted to anyone. They became non-sexual, not heterosexual.
Of the 9,995 that were not helped, many became depressed, suicidal, and unhappy with themselves that they could not change. Yes, these people wanted desperately to be loved and accepted as normal heterosexuals. No amount of shock therapy (to their genitals, btw) or prayer and fasting or vomit inducing drugs were able to change their attractions. Please read about these trials at BYU and why BYU no longer attempts this type of therapy.
spring street SALT LAKE CITY, UTAug. 29, 2013 3:02 p.m.
@ OlderGreg: Perhaps it is the stereotypes that should be changed instead of the child?
@ Chris B: There was one study that reported some success - but the majority of the success they reported was getting the person undergoing the therapy to agree to be celibate (which is not really a success when the goal of the program is to change gender attraction) and the other part of the success was short-term, usually less than a year (again, not really success).
If adults want to waste their time and money pursuing gay-to-straight conversion therapy, they are adults and we let them make that choice.
But children and youth should not be forced into it because their parents don't like who they are.
@ Cats: The 9th Circuit may be the most overturned, but they also have the most cases and cover the largest population of any Circuit Court.
And the law does nothing to prevent adults from subjecting themselves to this type of therapy - it merely prohibits parents from forcing their children to participate in something that creates known harms.
christoph Brigham City, UTAug. 29, 2013 2:48 p.m.
Fortunately, nobody can ban the scriptures, which do heal. I once read in the magazine "Christianity Today" that, at some point, we need to come to the realization that addiction is a spirituality problem. AA (alcoholics anonymous) tells people to pray to be healed. There is hope.
bandersen Saint George, UTAug. 29, 2013 2:42 p.m.
Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free! I think it was Jesus who made this statement, but evidently, he didn't check with the state of California first.
kishkumen American Fork, UTAug. 29, 2013 2:42 p.m.
OlderGreg, it is ok for a therapist to talk to minors about their behaviors, interests, gender role issues. It just isn't ok to try to use conversion therapy to change their sexual orientation. This is of course logical since their are decades of research showing the harm that conversion therapy has done on people.
Cats Somewhere in Time, UTAug. 29, 2013 2:23 p.m.
The ninth circuit is a joke. They are the most reversed of any court. This decision is a travesty and I hope it is reversed by the Supremes. No one should be prohibited from receiving this therapy if they want it. There are many who want this therapy and they should be allowed to have it according to their own desires. After all, this is supposed to be a free country. Actually, I'm not sure any more,
spring street SALT LAKE CITY, UTAug. 29, 2013 2:15 p.m.
Yes, parents have the right to a certain extent to decide how to raise their child and what is best for that child.
But, as a society, we have long recognized that there are limits on what parents can subject their children - and when the parents are subjecting the children to something with proven harmful effects, we have drawn the line and said no.
Gay-to-straight conversion therapy creates a proven harm. Even many of those who have promoted it or performed it in the past have come to recognize that harm and have begun to speak out against it.
It is the proper role of government to step in and protect children from this harm - just as they protect children from being beaten by their parents.
ChristoperB Salt Lake, UTAug. 29, 2013 2:13 p.m.
It is worth noting that many people have had success under this program.
Is it best to have young adults participate?
That can be debated.
But for someone who wishes to received help and the wish to receive this kind of help, it can be a great tool.
The fact that several people have had success shows that some people can indeed change. Perhaps not all, or not to the fullest extent, but again evidence shows there has been some success.
It is a worthwhile program for those wishing to receive help.
OlderGreg USA, CAAug. 29, 2013 2:03 p.m.
It's OK for a child to be stuck with a stereotype label because of behavior/interests that don't fall into stereotypical gender roles (i.e. a girl interested in Tonka toys, a boy who is artistic) or is experiencing the puberty hormone rage.
But it is not OK for a professional to ask WTH?
Hutterite American Fork, UTAug. 29, 2013 1:19 p.m.
Since gay isn't an 'illness' to begin with, the whole concept is kind of loopy.

Willie Muir's Ever So Bold made an encouraging return on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton earlier this month and has every chance if able to reproduce a similar level of form back on turf, while recent course winner Al Jaadl is not certain to appreciate the step up to a mile and a better bet looks to be THE SHUFFLER. Gary Moore's gelding was a good winner at Brighton three starts ago, has run well in defeat in both starts since then in handicaps at Windsor and he looks worth siding with in this company to resume winning ways. Mark Johnston's Omaruru remains a maiden and looks best watched, while Harry Dunlop's Santa Margherita has similarly yet to open her account from admittedly just three starts. Mick Channon's White Dart is capable but inconsistent and preference is for The Shuffler, who can resume winning ways.

Bangalore: To crack down on illegal extraction and sale of sand in the State, the government will issue a notification next week to implement the much awaited sand policy.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in a reply to Narayana Gowda (Janata Dal-S) in the Assembly here yesterday said thar on November 21 Cabinet decided to formulate rules to the new sand policy following complaints of illegal sand extraction and sale of sand.
On December 9 a notification would be issued and new rules had been framed regarding this policy.
Deputy commissioners and tahsildars would be given more powers to check unauthorised extraction and sale of sand said Siddaramaiah as per the new rules.
The government was aware of shortage of sand affecting construction activities.
He said that the officials concerned would be directed to check illegal transportation of sand to neighbouring States such as Kerala and Goa.
He even mentioned that 1,864 sand blocks had been identified in the State. In Bangalore city and Bangalore Rural, Mysore, Tumkur, Dakshina Kannada and Belgaum districts sand was in much demand.
The availability of sand stood at 9 million tonnes against a demand for 23 million tonnes a year, he said.
Permission was given to extract sand in 7,207 hectares of land in 2012–13.
As per the new policy, the Public Works Department would be given powers to extract sand from riverbeds, to stock and sell through tender.
"Suggestions given by members have been incorporated in the new policy," he added.
Govind M. Karjol of the BJP urged the government not to involve the Public Works Department in the sand business as it had been vested with the duty to construct roads and bridges.

Santander has confirmed that it is planning to close its agency in Ballyclare.
The bank said that it took the decision to consolidate its retail operations into its proprietary branches following a strategic review of its network across the UK.
The agency, based in the Financial Foresight office on Main Street, provides limited banking services under licence and Santander's branding. Its closure could lead to the loss of five jobs.
Confirming that Santander has "served notice" on the agency, Steve Pateman, the bank's Head of UK Banking, said that the decision to consolidate retail operations had been made in response to financial challenges in maintaining the third party network.
"With enhancements in mobile banking, internet capability and the improvements we have made to our proprietary branches, we have a distribution capability that allows our customers to bank with us, in the way they want, when they want.
"Part of enabling customers to choose how they deal with us is making sure that all of our retail branches offer full banking. Consolidating our operations is a vital next step for Santander, allowing us to concentrate further enhancements to proprietary branches."
Mr Pateman stressed that Santander will be working with the agency owner "to ensure a smooth exit from the agreement."
Tennielle McIlroy, who runs Financial Foresight where the Santander agency is based, said that she and her staff are "gutted" by the bank's decision.
"We are a very busy agency and we have very loyal customers here, so we are absolutely devastated to be closing. The decision has been taken by Santander and it's outside our control, but we have to stand by their decision."
She stressed that Financial Foresight will remain open.
While no date has yet been finalised for the agency's closure, it's understood that it could happen within the next few months.
Santander is the latest bank to announce its withdrawal from Ballyclare. The town's First Trust and Bank of Ireland branches have both closed in recent years.
Alison Thompson, president of Ballyclare Chamber of Trade, expressed her disappointment at the bank's decision to close its local outlet, but urged customers to keep supporting the agency.
"Ballyclare is one of the busiest agencies in the UK and hopefully in the future there may be a Santander branch opened here. If people continue to support the agency then Santander might be persuaded to keep a presence in the town," she said.
Santander has written to customers advising them that it will stop providing banking services through the Ballyclare agency "later this year". But the company has stressed that it is "business as usual" in the meantime.
The nearest Santander branch for customers in Ballyclare is located at Farmley Road, Glengormley.

Does the thought of a wireless meter transmitting information about your water usage to a quasi-governmental agency through a constantly pulsing digital signal keep you up at night?
Well, it shouldn't, say proponents, because the technology is increasingly common and probably already in use in your home.
Nevertheless, the prospect remains a health and privacy concern for a relatively small but vocal number of homeowners objecting to St. Paul Regional Water Services' installation of a wireless radio-transmission water meter in 94,000 St. Paul-area homes and businesses.
At a public hearing Tuesday, two residents expressed worry about the possible health effects on their cats.
Another homeowner said hackers could steal data about how much water she was using. Yet another homeowner compared the digital signals to cancer-causing tobacco.
"So many people are jumping on the wireless bandwagon, but they're not thinking about the long-term effects," said Cathy Coyne, a West St. Paul woman who said she was an environmental consultant.
The bottom line is water-meter reading is about to enter the 21st century, and not everyone is happy about it.
St. Paul Regional Water Services is roughly 25 percent done with a $20 million, 2-1/2-year project to replace all the water meters in its service area, which includes St. Paul, Maplewood, Falcon Heights, West St. Paul, Lauderdale and Mendota Heights.
Staff members said most of the existing, traditional meters were installed in the mid-1980s and will gradually begin to fail by underreporting water usage.
"Even if the meters are off by 1 percent…1 percent of our revenue is half a million dollars," general manager Steve Schneider said.
With the new meters, agency workers can simply drive down the street waving a scanning gun. That will save time and money. It will also mean no more charges based on estimated readings in the winter.
Cities such as Oakdale, Brooklyn Center, Coon Rapids, Richfield and Brooklyn Park have already adopted the wireless system through their own water utilities.
Still, with public sentiment in mind, the St. Paul Regional Water Services board held a public hearing Tuesday at St. Paul City Hall on whether to offer skeptics two proposed alternatives to the R900i E-Coder from Neptune Technology Group.
About 10 people spoke at the hearing, each of them concerned about the technology's possible health effects, on top of worries over cost and privacy. Two years of what will likely be back-to-back rate increases have added to the frustration.
The wireless E-Coder sits on a basement water pipe and pulses every 14 seconds, raising alarm with critics about increased exposure to low-level radiation.
"A lot of the health effects are going to be not immediately provable," said Leo Cashman, who said he is part of a grassroots group with concerns about the cumulative effects of exposure to microwaves, cordless phones and wireless Internet devices. "Ordinary people are getting overexposure."
Schneider said his agency has been contacted by about 160 homeowners with questions about the technology. He has assured them the Federal Communications Commission has put the meters in the same general category as cellphones, baby monitors and wireless microphones.
"There has been no direct correlation to adverse health effects from this type of technology," Schneider said.
In fact, Xcel Energy and other utilities have been installing wireless meters over the past decade or longer to measure gas, electricity and water usage.
If the Regional Water Services board and the St. Paul City Council approve the two alternative meter readers, homeowners can opt to have a semi-wireless device, the R900 E-Coder, installed at no charge. Like the fancier model, the R900 meter sits on pipes in a basement but transmits information through a wire that runs out to a transmission device installed on the exterior of the home.
In other words, no wireless signals will travel through the house.
Another alternative comes at the added cost to the consumer of $18 per quarterly read, or $72 per year. The E-Coder TouchPad meter also sits in the basement, and it, too, snakes a wire out to a device on the front of a house.
The board would likely vote to approve the alternative meters at its Sept. 13 meeting.
