The new paragraph in Sec. 250-80(a) creates questions about the relationship between water piping and separately derived system grounding.
One of the most common field problems is where to make a system grounding electrode connection for a separately derived system. Water piping systems are universally associated with grounding, although there are, of course, many other grounding electrodes. Therefore, installers frequently look to water piping systems for this purpose, particularly if they are in the same area.
The EC&M panel's analysis
The first question is when is a water pipe a water pipe. This may seem obvious, but the prospective use of sprinkler piping caused a major controversy some years back, and the issue is commonly debated today. In the 1987 Code cycle, CMP 5 rejected a proposal to add sprinkler piping along with water piping (with conditions to assure effective grounding) into Sec. 250-26(c). The proposal would have expressly recognized a common industrial practice of using sprinkler piping for grounding separately derived systems, particularly in areas where effectively grounded building steel wasn't available. The panel said in its statement:
Many sprinkler piping systems do not
guarantee electrical continuity between
joints. On thee basis there is no
practical way to determine that the
piping is effectively grounded.
This panel action provoked a comment by this editor to the effect that words have meaning, and the existing wording allowed effectively grounded water piping. A sprinkler system (at least, one that uses water) is a piping system that conveys water, even if dry. Therefore it is a water piping system and is valid provided it is effectively grounded. The comment noted that grooved-joint piping systems have questionable continuity due to the rubber gaskets between joints, but that other systems such as those with sweated joints had unquestionable continuity. Even the grooved-joint systems can be made continuous with bonding jumpers. The comment concluded that the local AHJ should still be allowed to judge the local conditions. Although the panel rejected the comment, its statement was considerably more acceptable than on the original proposal:
A metal water pipe of a sprinkler
system might be used to meet the
requirements of Section 250-26(c)
provided the water pipe meets Section
250-81(a). The panel objects to the
original proposal because of the
emphasis it places on sprinkler
Based on both the literal text and this panel statement, we conclude that sprinkler piping is water piping and, where approved by the AHJ, it may be used as a grounding electrode.
But is it a Part H electrode (and does it matter)?
Part H of Art. 250, comprised of Sections 250-81 through 250-86, covers the "Grounding Electrode System." The third paragraph of Sec. 250-81 expressly disallows "interior metal water piping more than 5 ft from the point of entrance to the building" from being "used as part of the grounding electrode system or as a conductor to interconnect electrodes that are part of the grounding electrode system." There is an exception for industrial and commercial buildings with qualified maintenance and supervision, but only where "the entire length of the interior metal water pipe that is being used for the conductor is exposed." Although apparently unintended, this literally voids the exception if pipe passes through a partition, and an attempt to allow for this type of installation was rejected.
The reason for the rule is the prevalence of other trades disrupting continuity of interior water piping without appropriate supervision. Clearly that substantiation would apply to separately derived systems. Whether the Code actually requires a Part H electrode is another story, however. Sec. 250-54, which requires the same or commonly bonded electrodes to be used for all premises AC systems "specified in Sections 250-23 and 250-24," conspicuously fails to include separately derived ac systems under Sec.250-26. Many other sections of the Code, including Sec. 800-40(b)(1)(2) for telephone systems, recognize water pipe electrode connections that aren't in the first 5 ft beyond the water entrance.
With respect to the separately derived system rules themselves, Sec. 250-26(c) mandates that "the grounding electrode shall be as near as practicable to and preferably in the same area as the grounding electrode conductor connection to the system." Then, Sec. 250-26(c)(2) for separately derived systems simply recognizes "the nearest available effectively grounded metal water pipe" for this purpose. We conclude that the local metal water pipe may or may not qualify as a Part H electrode depending on Sec.250-81 and Ex.2 thereto, however, with respect to separately derived systems (and only separately derived systems) it need not so qualify as long as it is effectively grounded.
Should it be bonded?
Bonding is another matter. Suppose, for example, the separately derived system is grounded to effectively grounded local building steel. The water piping system will be bonded to the building steel back in the service area. This is because the steel is a qualified Part H electrode and as such must be used as a service electrode per Sec. 250-81. The interior water piping system must be bonded at the same electrical location per Sec. 250-80(a) (first paragraph).
The question is whether the separately derived system grounding terminal, perhaps on the tenth floor, must be bonded to the local water piping. This is what the new second paragraph of Sec. 250-80(a) was attempting to reach. We know this because the substantiation described the potential hazard in having such an equipment grounding system unassociated with metal piping at that level during transient fault conditions.
The substantiation was partially based on an assumption that a separately derived system grounding connection to a water pipe would need to be within 5 ft of the water entrance, with which we clearly disagree. Nevertheless, we agree with the argument that if water pipe bonding connections are at great distances from a local system, there could be a severe hazard from transient voltages. It is clear that the intent was to mandate the local connection, even where the local piping wasn't the principal electrode.
Must it be bonded?
Unfortunately, the literal text of the new paragraph doesn't actually require much of anything. The principal reason is that, as written, the paragraph only applies where the separately derived system is using a made (or other) electrode under Sec. 250-26(c)(3):
(3) other electrodes as specified in
Sections 250-81 and 250-83 where
electrodes specified by (1) or (2) above are not
In other words, the only time the new paragraph (requiring local water pipe bonding) takes effect is when you are making a grounding connection that can only be made when an effectively grounded water pipe is unavailable. Remember, Sec. 250-80(a) (first paragraph) mandates a bonding connection to interior metal water piping by a conductor that meets the full minimum size rules in Table 250-94. The reason for this is exactly because other rules in the NEC recognize water piping as an electrode, and this requirement is what validates the assumptions behind those rules.
The result is "Catch-22." If an effectively grounded metal water pipe is available, you must use it as an electrode in preference to Sec. 250-26(c)(3) electrodes. Only if it isn't there must you bond to what isn't there. Finally, if you bond to effectively grounded local building steel, there also isn't any requirement to bond to the water piping system. However, the failure to make this connection opens the door to the hazard identified in the proposal substantiation. Until this is sorted out, we suggest that you make the connection, although we acknowledge no basis in the literal text to force compliance.

Considering the terrible defeat at Minnesota on Wednesday night, and the fact the Blackhawks were back at it Thursday, rookie goaltender Michael Leighton figured he would be a spectator when the Hawks played host to the Calgary Flames.
Instead, Leighton made amends with a 29-save performance as the Hawks rebounded with a 3-1 victory before an announced crowd of 10,865 at the United Center.
"I was surprised," Leighton said when he learned he was going to start. On Wednesday in Minnesota, Leighton gave up six goals on 18 shots in a 7-4 loss.
"It shows [Hawks coach Brian Sutter] has confidence in me," Leighton said. "I let my team down the last game. I didn't want to do that again."
Sutter said he never thought about playing Steve Passmore instead of Leighton, although he did say Thursday was an important game for the 22-year-old.
"Very important," Sutter said. "We had two games [with Leighton in goal] in which we outplayed the opponent and lost."
Leighton had to be sharp early. The Flames were attempting to tie a franchise-record with their seventh straight road victory.
In the first two games of this trip, they won easily in New York against the Rangers and Islanders, and they outshot the Hawks 13-7 in the opening period Thursday.
"He made some big stops," Hawks defenseman Bryan Berard said. "That says a lot about the kid."
After Calgary took the lead on Oleg Saprykin's power-play goal, in which Robyn Regehr's point shot deflected off his skate, the Hawks responded with goals from Kyle Calder, Steve Sullivan and an empty-netter from Berard.
For Calder, it was his first goal in 15 games, dating to Dec. 7 against Phoenix. Sullivan's game-winner came 2 minutes 34 seconds into the third period on the power play.
Not only has the Hawks' power play cost them points this season, it also may have cost them a player Thursday.
While on the power play early in the second period, Alex Zhamnov and Calder collided. Zhamnov only played a couple of shifts after that and wasn't on the bench for the third period.
Sutter said he didn't know what Zhamnov's injury was, but he said he didn't think it was his back. Thursday was only Zhamnov's fifth game back after having back surgery in October.
The Hawks didn't announce what or how serious the injury was. Sutter said it may have been Zhamnov's shoulder, but one player said Zhamnov wasn't feeling well after the collision and that he may have suffered a concussion.
Thursday marked the NHL debut of defenseman Anton Babchuk, called up from Norfolk because of injuries to Nathan Dempsey and Steve Poapst.
Babchuk, 19, saw just 11:06 of ice time, but he was able to get off his high-powered shot with two shots on goal.
"He's going to be a player," Berard said.
After blowing two-goal leads in each of the last two games, the Hawks were finally able to close the book on a team, and one of the hottest teams in the league at that.
"There was a lot character by our guys to come back and do what we did tonight," Sutter said.

After the IFPI pressured credit card companies not to process payments to AllOfMP3.com, the company sued in a Russian court, claiming that its credit card processing contract had been broken illegally. Now, despite the fact that AllOfMP3 is no more, the company behind the service has apparently won a judgment against Visa's Russian agent.
According to CNews, a Russian technology site, the backers of AllOfMP3 have just won their case against Rosbank, the Russian company that does much of Visa's processing in that country. The court ruled that Visa can only break its contracts with merchants are when they are found guilty of breaking the law; breaking those contracts after talking to business groups like the IFPI was ruled illegal.
The ruling means that Visa may be forced to start processing payments to sites like AllTunes.com and MP3sparks, the AllOfMP3 replacement site, and Visa apparently does not plan to appeal.
Despite the win in court on the credit card payment issue, the people behind AllOfMP3 (and AllTunes and MP3sparks) haven't necessarily secured a long-term victory. The Russian government remains under tremendous pressure to shut down sites like these no matter what names they operate under. With the country's World Trade Organization bid hanging in the balance, it's hard to imagine Russia not taking action eventually.
For now, though, AllTunes still claims to "accept plastic cards" and MP3sparks takes "credit and debit cards." The court case will no doubt make that process even easier.

Baby BEEF is a collaboration of two strange artistic minds who's objective is to rebel against the gallery system and bring art to the streets. Our aim is to gather all forms of art, poetry, film, music, short stories (anything creative) from all over the world,through myspace,deviantart and by post (remember that people?) and create fanzines of art for the people by the people.
Rest assured the fanzine is FREE.... and you can submit your work at no cost.There will be NO ADS, only the odd gig listing.Which also means no censorship!!!
All money needed for printing and paper costs are made from gigs in Dubin, where the best of the underground irish music scene will be show-cased.Make sure to keep an eye out for these events and come lend your support, we cant make it possible without you guys.
Baby BEEF are fairly fresh meat,but be sure to keep your eyes peeled on the streets, gig venues and cafes around Dublin (and each city we visit) for our zines, flyers and secret street art. Eventually the best pieces from all our fanzines will be put together in a book and hopefully published.

Happy Easter my dear friends!
For this lovely day I prepared this amazing dessert: chocolate eggs filled with hazelnut praline and brigadeiro.
Chocolate Easter eggs filled with some wondeful flavors have become a hit on Brazil this year. Besides brigadeiro, the other option are dulce de leche, brownies, ganache, and what else your imagination can create!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Chocolate Easter Egg Filled with Hazelnut Praline and Brigadeiro
First make the praline and brigadeiro:
Hazelnut Praline
Vegetable oil, for baking sheet
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, skins removed
Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Heat sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Continue to cook, without stirring, until deep amber. Stir in nuts. Spread mixture into prepared sheet. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Break praline into pieces, then coarsely grind in a food processor.
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
200g chocolate (I used Callebaut Belgian Chocolate, 54.5% Cocoa)
Place all the ingredients into a medium saucepan. Over low heat, stir the mixture until it starts to show the bottom of the pan while you scrape it with a spoon. The mixture should be thick enough to show the bottom of the pan for a few seconds before the mixture back again. Transfer to a greased bowl. Let cool completely before use as filling.
To make the chocolate egg follow the intructions for chocolate tempering and chcocolate eggs on this post. I used about 500g/ 1lb of chocolate, but it depends of the size of your mould.
Pour in each half of chocolate egg about 3 tablespoons of praline. Fill with brigadeiro leaving about 3mm (1/8') of space. Cover each piece with tempered chocolate. Decorate with grated chocolate.

Latin Superstar Jenni Rivera Dies in Plane Crash
Mexican American singer Jenni Rivera is believed dead after a plane crash in Mexico.
Rivera, star of Mun2 reality show 'I Love Jenni' and multiplatinum Latin singer, was one of seven passengers on a LearJet that was found in mountains near Nuevo Leon, slightly south of Monterrey, Mexico. Following one of Rivera's concerts, the plane left Monterrey around 3:30AM to go to Toluca. After traveling about 61 miles in 10 minutes, the plane lost contact.
Mexican authorities confirmed that the plane wreckage was found Sunday afternoon. There were no survivors.
Rivera led a tumultuous life, but always seemed to triumph in the face of adversity. She became pregnant at 15 but continued her education, earning a real estate license after studying business administration in college. Her focus soon turned to music, signing to Capitol and releasing her debut album in 1995.
Rivera's love life was a source of drama -- she survived an abusive first husband, a cheating second and recently announced the end of her third marriage to former Major League Baseball player Esteban Loaiza. She told the AP (via Variety), " I am a woman like any other and ugly things happen to me like any other women. The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up."
Rivera was on the cusp of crossover superstardom. The Long Beach, Calif. native recently inked a deal with ABC to star in a sitcom pilot about being a single mom.
She is survived by her five children. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends and fans at this time.

But a few demand more. The California's mid-life makeover is far more radical than seems to make sense. The aluminium chassis gets a total reworking, 60 per cent of the parts new with 12 types of aluminium alloy in place of eight, all to get a weight reduction of a mere 30kg. That represents a saving of less than two per cent. It does, though, give Ferrari the opportunity to explain again, yet again, and once again, how much better aluminium is as a chassis material than a carbon fibre monocoque like the Woking boys use.
Although 8,000 Californias have been built so far, the unit cost of this redesign is high. But the constructional changes are also a step in the direction of the next generation California, something that will be lighter still with increased use of bonding in places of welds. The 2012 model also gets another 30hp, now reaching 490hp. Not so sissy, then, when 0-62mph is reached in 3.8 seconds. Two changes - a reed valve in the crankcase to reduce pumping losses, and a revised exhaust manifold - account for the most of the difference.
Of greater significance is the £4,320 Handling Speciale pack. It's aimed at serial Ferrari buyers who want an extra dose of magic from their California driving experience. The steering is nine per cent quicker, stiffness front and rear is up 15 per cent and 11 per cent respectively, and new logic to the SCM suspension control reduces body roll.
Degrees of discomfort
My co-driver thought it too twitchy but I loved it. We were more in accord about the suspension, which once again seemed to have changed more than the numbers suggest.
Firm or super-firm, depending on where the Manettino is set, it probably does the right thing on a circuit but seems frankly unnecessary on public roads, particularly the ones we get in the UK. Still, you have to respect Ferrari for offering buyers the choice. Porsche sells enough GT3s on a similar principle.
This is a genuine, balls-out supercar, eye-wincingly fast with a chassis that will move around enough to make your heart miss a beat, yet ultimately pull everything back into line. It's very satisfying. The changes for 2012 will, one suspects, go unnoticed by that 70 per cent of customers new to the brand, probably others too. But the modifications will be enough to encourage an upgrade to the latest California, while the handling pack will excite a few more. Not sure we'd go down that route though. We'd keep our California in standard spec and use the 458 for track work.

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County 2012-13 grand jury released a report Thursday finding that local government agencies, for the most part, complied with 36 recommendations laid out in investigations from last year's watchdog panel.
STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County 2012-13 grand jury released a report Thursday finding that local government agencies, for the most part, complied with 36 recommendations laid out in investigations from last year's watchdog panel.
Each year, a civil grand jury issues dozens of recommendations and findings after investigating local government agencies in San Joaquin County. The law requires the agencies to respond to the reports from the grand jury, reconvened each year from a new batch of citizens.
Last year, the 2011-12 grand jury reports included 37 findings and 36 recommendations.
This kind of report follow-up on previous findings and recommendations holds government accountable to make changes often called for in grand jury investigations, said Gary Spaugh, foreman of this year's grand jury.
"Almost all of the recommendations are respected and implemented," said Spaugh, adding it showed the effectiveness of the process overseeing the public agencies.
The only agency that did not comply with all the recommendations was the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District, which did not provide documentation that all of the district's board members had completed training in ethics and the state law for providing transparency in government meetings.
The district received a scathing report last year that it had been "thrust to the brink of failure" by its leadership. This year's report verified steps taken to improve its finances and acknowledged changes in leadership.
"Everything is pretty much under control now," said Joe Valente, president of the district's governing board. He also said the remaining two directors had completed the training recommended by the grand jury.
Last year's grand jury also reported that social workers at Child Welfare Services were holding high caseloads that put children at risk; found fault with training of Stockton Unified police; found a relative of an employee at the San Joaquin Housing Authority received special treatment receiving subsidized-housing vouchers; and reported on other investigations into the San Joaquin County Mosquito and Vector Control District, the Department of Juvenile Justice and Deuel Vocational Institution.
Thursday's report wasn't the first from the grand jury this year. Last month it investigated uncollected property tax revenue.
And it won't be the last.
Spaugh said the public can expect reports soon from the new investigations the grand jury conducted over the past year.

[Sorry for the cross post - AFAIK, this type of posting is acceptable on each list this is going to - if I' mistaken, please contact me off list] Hi, It looks like I'm leaving the company that I'm currently with (a combination of salary and the fact that I don't feel I'm able to give all that I can to this company), and am currently looking for a new position. My strong points include: * problem solving * the apache webserver (inside and out) * web application architecture * cross-platform web (windows/linux hybrid systems) * complex web applications (cross language) and more... I'd prefer something close to Jerusalem Israel, but would be willing to work farther out if transportation is provided (read, if I can get a company car + gas + parking). Currently, not looking to relocate (but you can always try to tempt me ;)) For a CV and/or cover letter, please email me back privately. Thanks Issac

W Magazine and Carine Roitfeld Celebrate "The Client"

Bad play-calling in the end zone for sure by Jim Harbaugh. This is a sucky way to win and lose. You never want to have a no-call or call for that matter determine it.
And there you have it. Colin Kaepernick throws it up to Michael Crabtree. Contact by Jimmy Smith, but no flag
Colin Kaepernick has 97.9 quarterback rating
Ray Rice has 16 carries for 46 yards, a 2.9 yards per run average
Justin Tucker with the short field goal to make it an 8-point game again. Ravens 31, 49ers 23
When this game is over, we're going to be talking about third down efficiency. Ravens are 8 of 12 on third down. 49ers are 2 of 8
And.... Pierce is hurt. Ouch.
Bernard Pierce is such a fantastic running back. Along with Stevan Ridley, definitely a future star of the league.
Lucky 49ers. David Akers misses the field goal and the Ravens make another HUGE mistake, running into the kicker.
This game has gotten ridiculous. Fumble by Ray Rice. Tarrell Brown with the forced fumble and recovery.
Two scores within less than two minutes. Nice game now. Baltimore still in driver's seat with 8-point lead.
Ahmad Brooks with the sack, getting the 49ers their first back-to-back forced punts.
I think the 49ers defense is pumped up. Would be first two stops in a row here.
And the 49ers get on the board. Michael Crabtree bounces off a tackle and runs in a 31-yard touchdown catch
Ravens are now 6 of 9 on third down. Stops are coming few and far between for 49ers.
Looks like we're about to play some football finally. 3rd and 13 for the 49ers when they come back. Don't be surprised if you see a draw play. 49ers are playing to lose.
Jacoby Jones' 109-yard kickoff return is a Super Bowl record.
Ravens Joe Flacco is 13 of 20 for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Has a 135.8 QB rating. Ravens out gaining 49ers 241 to 182. 49ers with three penalties and two turnovers. Ravens with 1 penalty and no turnovers
At the half, Ravens 21, 49ers 6.
This is getting out of hand. Chris Culliver just gets beat terribly. And no pressure on Flacco for the throw.
Chris Culliver looks really bad here after getting beat and then missing the tackle ... twice!
Looks like the 49ers have lost their aggressiveness is hurting you. Kaepernick should've tucked it it on that second down and run it. He's lost some mojo after that interception, for sure
Ravens wanted a knockout punch. They must not remember the 49ers were down 17-0 before
Two turnovers spells disaster for any team during any regular game. Not sure the 49ers can overcome this, particularly if Ravens score here
Big squabble between the two teams. Not very nice. More than flags necessary here.
Flacco has a 145.5 QB rating now.
Flacco to Pitta for the Ravens' second touchdown. Boom
Right now, the Ravens are owning the 49ers
Fantastic play by Ed Dickson. Where has he been?
Flacco has a 130.3 QB rating so far.
LaMichael James' fumble obviously doesn't bode well for the 49ers. Baltimore got lucky there. Wouldn't be surprised if the young fella is benched.
Maybe it's just me, but the scouting report should note that Ver non Davis is a playmaker. He should be covered and covered well.
We're all witness to the strong arm of Colin Kaepernick.
Despite the struggles for the 49ers defense, they've gotten good pressure on Flacco. He was bound to go down eventually. I think over the course of the game, they'll win some more battles
First quarter comes to a close with Baltimore leading San Francisco, 7-3. Joe Flacco is 6 of 9 for 77 yards and a touchdown. He hit Anquan Boldin for a 13-yard TD. 49ers kicker David Akers nailed a 36-yard attempt easily.
Flacco finally goes down. He had escaped at least three hurries before Ray McDonald gets him this time
Absolutely crazy by Flacco. He's already having a fantastic game.
Never thought I'd see the Ravens would struggle for a yard. But this 49ers defense does that to the best of 'em
Wonderful play by Joe Flacco to get the ball off and hit Dennis Pitta.
Reports are saying that Vernon Davis, who was being looked at by a trainer, is now going over a play sheet with a coach. Should be back in the game
David Akers back to muscle memory. Ravens lead 7-3 after a Paul Kruger sack on Colin Kaepernick.
First time we've seen Kaepernick fake a pass and then run. First wrinkle of #SB47.
Both Colin Kaepernick and Alex Smith have a +100 quarterback rating when throwing the ball to Michael Crabtree
It was 17/2 odds that Anquan Boldin would score the first touchdown of the game. Ravens go up 7-0. Another deficit for the 49ers to start
Good pressure from the 49ers on second down. Another penalty on third down. Looks like the 49ers have some jitters
So this is exactly the kind of slow start the 49ers have been having all postseason. Then great field position for the Ravens
The 49ers won the toss and will receive. We'll see how this works out.

Quote Sheet
Chicago Fire vs. Sporting Kansas City
Toyota Park – July 7, 2013
Frank Klopas, Chicago Fire Head Coach
On how the team performed today
"It was all in the start. We needed to have a good start to the game. It's very difficult when you fall behind that early 2-0 because on a hot day like this you have to put in a lot of energy to come back. We got the one goal, which was important, but then in the second half we got some good chances and we weren't able to come back, so obviously the start wasn't what we wanted and falling behind 2-0 made it very difficult to come back. The guys put a lot into the game but we just have to move on now and just focus on the next game, regroup, see where the guys are, and get ready to go on the road."
On if the loss was due to an inexperienced keeper
"He wasn't inexperienced last year when he stepped in and played so I don't look at it like that. I think it's a position where you need games and rhythm to play and things that that will happen. We just have to move on."
On the first half of the season and where the team is expected to go
"The start [of the season] wasn't what we wanted, but I think you can see we are right in the mix of things. The team has been playing really well and the results have showed that. Even in a game like today I think we fell behind and sometimes it's difficult, especially on a hot day like this [to come back]. There are a lot of games left to play and you can see when you put two three games together when you can have some success, and get points, then you are right there in the mix of things and I feel it's going to come all the way to the end. There's a lot of games left to play. Obviously this was tough, being at home with a great crowd behind us, but we weren't going to go undefeated the whole season so we just have to regroup and go on another run like we did."
On giving up goals on second balls and set pieces
"I think before the ball goes out we have opportunities to stop plays. [We could] maybe make better decisions with the ball, but when you do give it up everybody has to focus and concentrate and just stick with their assignments. Sometimes in a game, [mistakes] happen, Zusi tries to cross the ball and it goes upper 90. For sure that is an area as a team [we can work on]. It's always difficult coming back. We talk about it, but now we have to make sure that we do have better starts to games where we don't fall behind. That's something we have to keep working on and talking about. Also [we need to start] going out there with the mentality to start the game from the beginning."
Austin Berry, Chicago Fire defender
On allowing set piece goals:
"We need to have the mentality of being the first to challenge for the ball and not let it bounce and sticking with your marks – that's just not for the first ball, but the second ball, too, and clearing it out. The older guys and leaders need to make sure everyone is ready to go, and I think we were. We just weren't tight enough, just not sharp enough for the first 10 minutes."
Paolo Tornaghi, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On why the team has started games so poorly:
"That's the million dollar question, I don't know. That's a tough question to answer. We come out hoping for a good start and a good result. In recent games we're giving up too much in the beginning and trying to comeback. Last game we did, but of course today it was a lot harder."
On the benefits of playing more:
"Today I felt a lot better than I did in the game before. The game in the beginning I was a little nervous because it had been several games since the last time I played, but now I'm rolling and it will get better game after game."
Mike Magee, Chicago Fire forward
On lack time of possession:
"I wish I knew why [the Fire had such a small time of possession]. I think we felt the game was tied or we were winning, we were just going to sit back and be content. Unfortunately we were down 2-1, so it wasn't a very good game plan."
On coming back from being down two goals:
"It's déjà vu. We've been saying it after every game that eventually it was going to catch up to us. Obviously tonight it did."
On his All-Star selection:
"I'm still fuming over the game today. Yesterday I really wanted it, but today all I'm thinking about is how badly this loss feels at home in front of our biggest crowd that we've had since I've been here. We literally laid down."
Sporting KC Head Coach Peter Vermes
Thoughts on the match:
"I thought the first half for both teams was really difficult. There was limited air flow in the stadium. In the second half the wind picked up and I think it helped both teams a little bit. The good thing is we scored a goal off a set piece we've been working on. That's a good thing. I'm not sure if he was crossing it or shooting it, but it went into the back of the net and we need to get those sometimes. We shouldn't have given one up like we did in the 38th minute, but I think it gave them a little life. I really thought we managed the game in the second half really well. We were unlucky not to get a third one."
On taking points away from a conference rival:
"I think we're been really good this year in conference so these conference games we realize how important they are to us. We have to continue to keep doing well against our conference teams. I don't know if it's anything added. We go about our business with a lot of consistency. Sometimes you fall out of form a little bit and it all depends on how fast you get back into form. I think the good thing is the guys are committed to working towards that."
Sporting KC Midfielder Graham Zusi
On his goal-whether it was a shot or a cross:
"No, it was a cross. [Jokes that] Benny's was a cross though."
On the slower pace of the game:
"It was tough conditions. Very humid, very hot. I think it took us until the second half to catch our wind and get going. Luckily we got a couple early goals and it makes it a bit easier on yourself."
Sporting KC Midfielder Benny Feilhaber
On coming away with a win:
"We did well to get a two-goal win early in the game. Our tactics were a little different, playing away from home against a team like Chicago who has been playing really well the last month or two. We wanted to draw them out and get the chances on the break. I think we did well, and we stuck to the game plan. We were able to hold the result because we were able to play a really good second half as well."
On keeping the Fire off the scoreboard in the second half:
"I think we were really good in the second half. I thought there were a couple moments early in the second half or maybe late in the first half, especially in the first half where we gave up the goal, we sort of turned off for a second and that goal definitely should not have happened. I thought we played well in the second half, kept the ball. I think we were the smarter of the two teams in the second half and we deserved three points today."
On getting a win away from home:
"It feels good. Especially against a team that's been playing so well, probably one of the hottest teams in the league and coming away from home and getting three points is huge for us."

Mom's Taco Bell Maternity Shoot Goes Viral
When a woman in Georgia found out she was expecting her second child, she wanted to have a special photo shoot to commemorate the occasion. What better place to do that then Taco Bell?
Kristin Johnston took to Facebook to share the photos her sister took while she was wearing a formal maternity dress at an Atlanta Taco Bell. The photos, which were taken by Johnston's sister, feature the pregnant, taco-loving mother both inside and outside the restaurant posing with food and enjoying a meal.
Johnston explained why she choose Taco Bell for the spicy photoshoot in a blog on her website titled: "Taco Belle Baby."
Have you seen the most beautiful maternity photos on Pinterest? You know, the ones with the mom-to-be looking so glamorous and ethereal, standing majestically on a mountain in a flowing gown, or on the beach with an awe-inspiring sunset in the background? I guess you could say that I wanted something a little different, something spicier - and that showed me in my natural state :D. Maybe God-willing we will be blessed with a third and I can take one of those stunning mountaintop or beachside photos, but for now, I felt inspired to have my maternity shoot at one of my favorite places, a place that I can turn to anytime I get a craving or just don't have the energy to cook dinner - a place that many of us have a fondness for in our hearts - TACO BELL.
You can check out the rest of her photos on Johnston's blog page here.

Para.1 - Main reason given for review, is huge amount (Rs.1623.7 Cr) involved. The judiciary has to look into whether justice has been done to the respondents or otherwise. It was proved beyond doubt that justice has NOT been done to the petitioners by the applicants.
Para2. - The present case is NOT related to the manner of pay fixation as prescribed in chapter 28.1 or 28.113 of the Pay commission report. The Pay Commission report is only RECOMMENDATORY in nature and has no legal standi. The Govt resolutions are statutory provisions. Resolution No.9E dt 18/3/87 clearly define that "Method of fixation of pay recommended for civilian employees in chapter 31 of the report should also be applied to the Armed Forces" . Accordingly the method of fixation notified in SRO 12E dt 23/9/86 is applicable in the case of Armed Forces.
Para.3- No Provision exists for reduction of Rank Pay from the total emoluments before fixing the pay in the scale. Rank Pay has been granted "in-addition to basic pay" .(Para (1) (i) of the said resolution No.9E dt 18/3/87) This Rank Pay has been granted exclusive to Armed Forces.
Para.4- The Rank Pay is not meant to differentiate between the ranks by deducting the same from the Basic Pay. The contention of the petitioner is absolutely wrong. Army Instruction is a subordinate instruction and cannot over ride the statutory rules.
Para.5.- "Carved out of emoluments" is a new terminology used in this petition only. This is nowhere used either in the pay commission report or in the Govt orders. This terminology is used only to mislead this H'ble court. Method of fixation of pay has been defined in the said SRO which also gives all required definitions/ explanations (para3).
Para6.- Govt of India through the resolutions 9E dt 18/3/87 under Para (1) (i) granted "Basic Pay and Rank Pay -addition to Basic Pay" The rate of rank pay recommended by the pay commission was revised by the Govt twice on the intervention of the Armed Forces and from some other corner and accepted the present rate after due deliberations in the cabinet and the Indian Parliament was also taken into confidence. This was also widely publicized through the media to give an impact in the public. It cannot be now said that the grant of Rank Pay was un-intentional.
Para7,8&9. - Aggrieved by the deduction of Rank Pay from the basic pay Major AK Dhanapalan filed a petition in the High Court of Kerala. The H"ble High Court was pleased to admit the plea of Major AK Dhanapalan and directed the respondents to re-fix the pay without deducting the rank pay with re-trospect from 1/1/86. The writ appeal and the SLP filed in the Supreme Court were dismissed. Accordingly the UOI accepted the judgment and implemented the same by re- fixing the pay of Major AK Dhanapalan wef 1/1/86 and the arrears were paid. No review petition on this issue was filed by the UOI or pending before any court. As such it becomes a settled law.
Para 10,11. – The UOI has decided to NOT to extend benefit of this judgment to other similarly personnel, on the plea that benefit will be given only to the respondent of the case. Aggrieved by this decision effected officers also approached various High Courts across the country.
The UOI requested this H"ble court to get all these cases transferred to this court. Accordingly some of the cases were transferred to this H"ble Court. Since all these cases are of similar nature, one case as a pilot case has been examined by the court and after hearing both side, pronounced the judgment on 8/3/2010.
Para.12- Judgment of 5/10/98 and 4/7/2003 of the High Court of Kerala are implemented only in the case of Major AK Dhanapalan.
Para.13. Rank Pay has been paid to only Major AK Dhanapalan and this is a clear discrimination. The respondents and other similarly placed officers have not been paid the Rank Pay. This can be very much seen from Para 3 and 6 of this review petition itself.
Para 14.- Judgment of 5/10/98 is very clear on this issue. Had it been
Paid to all similarly placed officers at that point of time, the lump-sum
Amount required would have been less. The petitioners not only will fully denied justice to the similarly placed officers of the Armed Forces but also un-lawfully retained a large sum with them which otherwise due to them. The respondents were fully aware fully aware
of this fact when the y paid arrears to Major AK Dhanapalan.
Para.15.- all these prayers are liable to be dismissed with cost.
Maj AK Dhanapalan

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The Arkansas House voted Monday to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape or incest, sending the proposal to a state Senate that approved more stringent restrictions last week.
The House also voted to block insurers from covering abortions if they participate in the online marketplace created under the federal health care overhaul.
Abortion restrictions are easily winning legislative support in Arkansas this year after Republicans won control of the House and Senate in November.
The House-approved measures now go to the Senate, which on Thursday voted to prohibit most abortions if a heartbeat is detected. That measure would be the most stringent ban in the U.S., prohibiting abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe said he's still looking at the House-backed restrictions but that his office's research suggests the "heartbeat" bill is unconstitutional. Opponents say it will invite lawsuits.
"Obviously, we don't want to pass unconstitutional laws and end up in court costing taxpayers tons of money," said Beebe, who stopped short of saying that he opposes the legislation.
The 20-week ban, which prohibits the procedure based on the disputed notion that a fetus can feel pain at that point, was approved on a 75-20 vote. Unlike the six-week ban pending before a House committee, it does not include exemptions for rape or incest.
"If our constituents cannot trust us, their elected representatives, to defend the most basic and essential of human rights, that of life, how can they possibly trust us to have the wisdom and discernment to make appropriate decisions regarding all of the other daily issues that face us?" Rep. Andy Mayberry, R-Hensley, told lawmakers before they approved his legislation.
Rep. Greg Leding, the top Democrat in the House, opposed the measure and noted it did not include exemptions for fetal conditions that were incompatible with life. He also argued it was unfair to victims of rape and incest.
"The case made for that exclusion is that a woman should have been able to make that decision early in her pregnancy. But what if that woman is a 12-year-old girl and she's raped by a family member or friend and she's too afraid to speak or at that young age is simply unaware that she's pregnant?" said Leding, D-Fayetteville.
The other measure approved Monday would allow insurers participating in the health insurance exchange to cover abortions only in the case of rape or incest or to spare the life of the mother. The House approved it on a 77-15 vote.
The measure's author, Rep. Butch Wilkins, D-Bono, argued it would prevent public money from going toward abortions — something opponents note is already barred by state and federal law. It would allow coverage for abortions through separate supplemental policies.
Twenty-four Democrats and the House's sole Green Party member joined with 50 Republicans to support the 20-week ban, while 26 Democrats and the Green Party member supported the insurance exchange ban. Republicans hold 51 of 100 House seats.
The measures both head to the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee.
Though the Arkansas Legislature has considered abortion restrictions in recent years, most proposals haven't made it to the governor's desk under Democratic majorities. Beebe, however, has backed some abortion restrictions. Two years ago, he signed into law regulations on clinics that offer the abortion pill. In 2009, he signed legislation mirroring a federal ban on late-term abortions.
Abortion-rights supporters have said they're all but certain to sue the state if the "heartbeat" ban becomes law. They say the proposal runs afoul of the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until viability, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
Opponents also argue the proposal is invasive because the only way to detect a heartbeat at six weeks is by using a vaginal probe.
Sen. Jason Rapert, R-Conway, the sponsor of the "heartbeat" ban, said he hoped to bring his proposal before the House Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee before the end of the week. Democrats hold 11 of the 20 seats on that panel.
Rapert said he asked Beebe on Monday "to let the House fully deliberate this issue and let the merits of the bill stand on its own."
Republican House Speaker Davy Carter said he's also concerned about the constitutionality of Rapert's bill but wouldn't say whether he opposes it.
"I understand the governor has some constitutional concerns and he's analyzing it. I am too," Carter, R-Cabot, told reporters.
Bettina Brownstein, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, said the group is also troubled by the restrictions approved Monday.
"They're both unconstitutional, and I think they're both cruel to women and families," Brownstein said.

Lexus RX 1999-2003, Chrome ABS Plastic Mirror Covers by RI®, 1 Pair. Full Coverage. Make your vehicle look like a luxury model with these Chrome Mirror Covers. Uses 3M acrylic foam backing for easy installation.
- Uses 3M acrylic foam backing for easy installation
- Manufactured from high impact plastic
- Triple Chrome finish
- Inexpensive alternative to a replacement mirror assembly
- Easy to install
One of the ways automobile manufacturers differentiate the top of the line with the base version of the same model is with trim. Base models usually have black trim while the top of the line edition has lots of chrome trim. If you have a standard model, maybe you've thought of upgrading some components like the mirrors with chrome pieces, but have been turned off by the expense and difficulty of replacement. Well get turned on because RI has the answer to your dilemma. With RI's ABS Chrome Mirror Covers, you can have the luxury model mirrors you want for very little time and expense. RI ABS Chrome Mirror Covers are made from high impact plastic with a triple chrome finish, for a long lasting luxurious look. And they're far easier to install than a complete set of mirrors. Simply peel back the cover from the 3M™ double-sided tape and press the cover into place. Upper half and Lower half covers are also available for an even more custom look.
RI® offers a wide range of premium exterior appearance products for late model cars and trucks.

We've seen tons of stars experiment with super-tight braids this summer, but Heidi Klum is never one to merely give a trend a try.
That's why we weren't surprised to see her step out with a full head of cornrowed braids (and a beachy Theodora & Callum scarf) in N.Y.C. on Sunday, fresh from her Bahamian vacation.
RELATED PHOTOS: Seven summer trends with expiration dates!
Anyone who visited the Bahamas in middle school knows the allure of coming back with beaded cornrows or hair wraps to show that you went on a cool, tropical vacation. And in fact, Klum did seem to have gotten her braided style in solidarity with her two daughters, who sported similar looks.
Klum can pull off things the rest of us mere mortals cannot, but we're split on the Bo Derek look on the N.Y.C. streets. Half of us think it should stay on the beach, and the other half think it's a creative way to stay cool in the city's scorching temperatures.
Tell us: Where do you fall in the great braid debate?
–Alex Apatoff

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (12/17/05) -- Austin Peay shot 57 percent from the floor and guard Maurice Hampton scored a game-high 26 points as the Governors dropped ETSU 84-71 Saturday night in the Dunn Center.
Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) was the points leader for the Bucs, scoring 24, while Courtney Pigram (Memphis, Tenn.) chipped in 16 points and four rebounds.
The Govs (5-4) outscored the Buccaneers (1-6) in the first half, 46-36, and 38-35 in the second. Austin Peay's largest lead was 21 in the second half at 10:42 while East Tennessee's biggest lead of 6 came in the first half at 13:35. Both teams made 28 points in the paint.

Oklahoma's history lessons are valuable
Oklahoma has been home to some of the worst social and political experiments ever devised.
No, I don't mean electing Mary Fallin Governor. I'm talking about the state's history.
I was born and raised an Okie and I have to believe that even Oklahoma's heritage isn't as long as some of the other states in the union, its history lessons are equally valuable.
Almost a century before Oklahoma would become a state, the land that would one day become Oklahoma gained interest from political leaders like George Washington. See, those 13 colonies were filling up pretty quickly and the white people really needed room to spread out.
But they couldn't send white people west. So they did the next best thing. They forcibly relocated Native Americans there.
The United States had purchased the land the included what would become Oklahoma from the French in the early 1800s. But much of that land which is now valued for oil and gas, agriculture and college football was considered almost uninhabitable.
So Andrew Jackson and Congress decided to move the Native Americans often called the Five Civilized Tribes, to an area known as Indian Territory. That freed up a lot of space in the southern colonies for more farming and got rid of those pesky Native Americans who were always trying to convince colonists that they had lived in this country long before the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria set sail.
Over the course of a decade or so, the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Muscogee tribes were forcibly marched from areas in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida into the harsh Indian Territory environment. This is often referred to as the Trail of Tears because of the amount of death, sickness and starvation endured by Native Americans during the relocation.
That worked for the colonists for about 75 years. But as farming techniques improved and large cattle ranches grew in popularity and profitability, the land that no one wanted became increasingly valuable.
Unfortunately, it had already been given to the tribes.
Once again, the Native Americans found out that being there first didn't carry a lot of weight with the early Americans. On April 22, 1889 President Benjamin Harrison opened about 2 million acres of land that was not specifically deeded to one of the tribes for white settlement. Not long afterward, much of the tribal land was redistributed to white settlers, as well.
But the great Land Run of April 22 featured hopeful settlers lined up and ready to stake a claim on a parcel of their own. More than 50,000 Boomers gathered in tent cities to get ready for the Land Run.
But several thousand Sooners took advantage of poor security and settled their claims during the seven-week period between the announcement of the plan and the actual Land Run.
If you ever wondered why so many Oklahoma cities, towns and institutions have an inception date of 1889, now you know.
Less than 20 years later in 1907, Indian Territory became history and Oklahoma was added to the Union as the 46th state.
For a state that came into existence so recently, Oklahoma has an interesting history as a social experiment from the trail of Tears to the Land run.
Hopefully, we never forcibly relocate entire nations of people again. I hope there would be better methods of settling new areas if the opportunity arises.
These experiments were successful even if they only taught us what not to do in the future.

Speed up your paint roller projects!
There's no need to argue that airless spraying has a lot of benefits compared to using a brush or a roller: contractors save a lot of time on their paint jobs and get a nicer, more even finish.
But they might actually be looking for exactly the finish that a roller provides. Or their projects don't justify masking preparation time required for over spray, but they still value the same speed and flexibility that airless technology provides.
Graco's new JetRoller is the perfect solution for contractors looking for a flexible lightweight tool designed to dramatically speed up their paint roller projects. It combines the efficiency of airless
spraying with the benefits of a rolled finish in a design that
virtually eliminates over spray.
Spray, roll or 'spray and backroll'...the choice is yours!
Features and benefits
Saves Time & Money
Combines rolling and spraying into one action
Eliminates dipping the roller in paint and is up to 2x faster than standard rolling
Uses industry standard roller covers
- Continue to work with your preferred finish.
Adapt JetRoller length for exterior walls (short extension) or interior walls (longer extensions).
Easily Detachable Handle
Use the spray extension or hand roller independently
CleanShot™ Shut-Off Valve
- Eliminates spits and drips
Minimal Preparation Time Required
- Virtually no overspray means less area preparation, suitable for finish coats in furnished spaces.

VANCOUVER -- The Pacific Northwest scene changed dramatically this week, as Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) -- a promotion set to celebrate its 10th anniversary in January -- purchased Top Ranked Wrestling (TRW), a much younger promotion that landed a TV deal with KVOS-TV earlier this year.
That television deal now belongs to ECCW, and represents the "holy grail" the promotion has been searching for in the decade it has been alive. ECCW owner Dave Republic told SLAM! Wrestling that the sale of TRW -- and the TV deal that came with it -- literally "fell into our laps. We're very excited. TV has been something we have been trying to do for so long and is something we can do well with. Our track record producing live shows is something that will hopefully translate into successful television shows as well."
Kevin MacDonald, the producer of the TRW shows that have been broadcasting on KVOS since September of this year, said the deal happened within a couple of days after one of the investors in the show decided he wanted out. "We tried to find a buyer and offered it to ECCW and they jumped at it," he said, adding that while the specific content of the show and the wrestlers appearing on it will certainly change, those changes may be limited. "The sale means very little as far as the grand scheme of TV goes. It's still has to be a family-friendly show because that's the way it has to be to be on TV."
MacDonald said one of the reasons TRW was put up for sale was the poor attendance numbers at the promotion's live events, most of which were filmed in Abbotsford, British Columbia. "Maybe Abbotsford couldn't hold the market and wasn't big enough for wrestling," MacDonald replied when asked why TRW drew so poorly during the past few weeks. "I think it was just over-saturation. It was on TV every week and people were asking why they should go to the live shows when they could just stay home and watch it on TV."
In an earlier interview, MacDonald said the ratings for the show were good, and was one of the top-rated shows for that time slot and for KVOS generally. Before the TV deal, TRW held monthly shows in Abbotsford that drew close to a hundred people. ECCW, on the other hand, has been running one to two shows a month in different venues and has been drawing between 150-200 people at each. But at a recent TRW TV taping in Cloverdale, no more than fifty people showed up to watch the wrestling -- a sobering sign for a promotion with the "holy grail" of independent wrestling.
"I was a little shocked at how sparse the crowd was," Republic said after watching his first TRW show, which he admitted he only watched the night after the sale was in the books. "Our crowds are not drawing six billion people, but we were outdrawing [TRW] by four or five times." Republic suggested while the quality of wrestling on the TRW show was good, the marketing for the show could have been better. "A lot of people didn't even realize it was on television and that's where we will make our investment. We will definitely be doing something different. ECCW is an event, a live event. We want to entice people to come to see the live shows and if we're not doing that, then we're not doing our jobs as promoters and business people."
There is no question ECCW has the experience putting on live shows (Republic joked that he and ECCW promoter Michelle Starr have put on "at least a million shows"), but is family-friendly TV really their strong suit? After all, ECCW is a promotion Starr has in the past called "the outlaw promotion". At their last show in Surrey, ECCW hosted a 10,000 Thumbtack Death Match -- perhaps not something the KVOS executives would want their viewing audience to see on Saturday afternoon.
"I think we have evolved a lot over the past ten years," Republic countered, acknowledging the format required by the television executives. "But it's more important not to water down your product. As I've always experienced in business, when you are trying to sell a product and it starts selling for different reasons than you had anticipated, you don't stop selling the product, you change the way you market it. On KVOS, we will have stronger content -- not necessarily extreme content -- but better storylines, improved production, characters that are developed and that people will care about. And hopefully it will bring fans to the live shows because that's what we want as well."
Kevin MacDonald said he had no problems with the change, even though many of the guys on the ECCW roster he has never met. "I don't mind [the change], and I look forward to working with them and seeing where it all goes," he said. He is aware of the "outlaw" qualities that have made ECCW popular with local fans, but is insistent that the WWE-like brand of wrestling is not a good fit for KVOS. "The swearing, the scantily-clad women is not what KVOS is about. But they don't have a problem with the high-impact stuff like you see in TNA. So hopefully the ECCW guys can change gears, at least on TV."
One of the suggestions MacDonald has for ECCW is to put on shorter matches. "That's one thing I really want to see," he said. "TV matches can't go ten minutes because on TV you have to be quick and you gotta keep the viewers' attention. What might look good at a house show arena won't necessarily translate as well on TV, where you have one guy at home with a remote in his hand where he can choose from 30-40 other channels. So it will be interesting."
What is clear is that there are challenges for ECCW and Kevin MacDonald to work out. The first KVOS show to air under ECCW's ownership will be broadcast January 7th, 2006. On ECCW's website -- eccw.com -- Republic has cryptically stated that "big changes are coming". But he revealed to SLAM! Wrestling that the new show will cater more to the fans. "We want them to see a taste of what they would see at a live ECCW event. We want to do more to get the fans involved and the one way we can do that is to put on exciting television."
For his part, MacDonald says the sale of TRW's TV show should make for an interesting period in the Pacific Northwest. "I think this is great for ECCW. They have been around for ten years, and they have the experience. They have been through some rocky, rough times and still didn't give up." There will be challenges, he said, but as the producer of a televised independent wrestling show, he's used to that. "What's one more?"

Consensus Report
Emerging Workforce Trends in the U.S. Energy and Mining Industries: A Call to Action (2013)Board on Earth Sciences and Resources
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Access to energy and mineral resources is essential to support the United States' high standard of living, economy, and security. Energy in the U.S. comes from a variety of sources, including fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), nuclear energy, and renewable sources (solar, wind, and geothermal). Nonfuel minerals are necessary for the existence and operation of products and services used by people every day and are provided by the mining industry. However, as the baby boom generation reaches retirement age, the nation is facing the loss of many experienced energy and mining workers in industry, academia, and the government. At the same time, the current educational system is not producing enough qualified workers to fill current and future jobs, which increasingly require science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. Some innovative solutions are being pursued, but more action is needed if the nation is to maintain a skilled workforce able to supply its energy and mineral needs.
Key Messages
- Community colleges are providing important new pathways for supplying the energy and mining workforce by providing direct alignment among their programs of study, the credentials they bestow, and industry education and skill requirements.
- With a direct alignment to industry education and skill requirements, the success of education programs can be measured by successful attainment of employment and advancement opportunities in the energy and mining industries.
- Ensuring that the United States has the educated and skilled workforce necessary for the success of the energy and mining industries requires a strong partnership among business, education at all levels, and the government.
- Technical research leads not only to innovation—the lifeblood of industry's business success—but also to better education and educators.5. Students mostly do not stay in STEM courses in K-12 that would prepare them for STEM postsecondary education or employment.
- Students mostly do not stay in STEM courses in K-12 that would prepare them for STEM postsecondary education or employment.
- Although the federal (and other) databases provide an abundance of information on the energy and mining workforce, such as employment estimates and demographic information, the data currently available for addressing the energy and mining workforce are not sufficiently consistent, comprehensive and up-to-date for these rapidly evolving, technology-infused industries and they do not exist at a sufficient degree of granularity.
- To collect and analyze the data needed for effective energy and mining workforce decision making and policy making, it is critical to foster the collaboration of government data-gathering agencies with industries that gather data.
- Federal agencies involved in the energy and extractive industries are facing high retirement rates and there is an acute need to replace the departing federal workforce.
- Because of the relatively restrictive personnel processes that federal agencies must follow and the relatively higher compensation offered by industry, it is difficult for federal agencies to hire and retain the employees they need.

ST. LOUIS -- The two surviving members of the National League are about as evenly matched as possible.
Even before they battled steady rain during the third game of the NL Championship Series on Wednesday night, the Cardinals and Brewers had split their 20 games played this season.
"I think we are two really good teams, very evenly balanced," Cardinal manager Tony La Russa said. "You cannot predict who is going to win."
It was the Cardinals who finally prevailed Wednesday, 4-3, to take a one-game lead heading into Thursday's key Game 4, featuring Kyle Lohse and Randy Wolf.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke made one key change to his lineup before...

There's been no shortage of leaked information about Sony's upcoming international flagship, the LT29i (also known by its codename 'Hayabusa'), but one aspect that's remained shrouded in mystery has been the name of the device. That mystery may finally be solved today, however. According to "trusted" sources for XperiaBlog the phone, which is a dead ringer for the Japanese Xperia GX, will come to market under the name 'Sony Xperia TX.' The TX name fits into Sony's new letter-based naming scheme, and would clearly position the phone as superior to its mid-range equivalent, the Xperia T (LT30p).
According to the abundance of info that's already leaked out, the phone has a 4.6-inch 720p display, a dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 13MP rear camera, along with on-screen buttons and Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Design-wise, it's the spiritual successor to last year's Xperia Arc.
The LT29i, or Xperia TX, is expected to appear alongside the Xperia T and Xperia Tablet at Sony's IFA press conference in Berlin on Aug. 29. We'll be there to bring you live coverage of all the day's Android news.

Read below what ScienceWorks members have to say...
January 7, 2011
Dear ScienceWorks:
I just wanted to tell you how pleased our family is to be ScienceWorks members. Over the holiday break, we visited family in the Bay area. We went to the SanFrancisco Exploratorium and the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley. I calculated that, since we are Science Works members and you have a reciprocal arrangement with those places, we saved about $90 on entry fees! I believe my Science Works yearly membership was only around $75.
We have always appreciated our time at ScienceWorks and felt that our family membership was a great deal but, now, with free entry into so many great places around the country, Id say its the best deal in town!
Paul Giancarlo
January 2, 2011
I LOVE my Scienceworks. My two year old son "talks" about Scienceworks all the time. Since we began volunteering at Scienceworks all of our close friends have gotten memberships too. It's the best way to get together, learn, relax and enjoy our friends. We've become addicted to the "meet at Scienceworks?" play date. I've noticed that no parent wants to think that their child is "going without" some learning edge and membership within our circle reflects this mindset ("you don't have a membership?... GASP!").What we would do without you all... I just don't know.
Take care,
Steff (Stephanie Werner)

I setup a new systemd Arch instalation on an SSD and migrated successfully from my old initscripts based HDD setup. I have 2 problems now, one leading to another.
I wanted to move /var to a partition on HDD and followed the following steps.
Created a new reiserfs partition for var on my HDD using gparted. Labelled it as "var"
Rebooted to emergency mode and mounted it. (I remounted root as read-write)
# mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/new_var
Copied var contents to new_var
# cd /var
# cp -Rax * /mnt/new_var/
# cd /
# mv var var.old
# umount /mnt/new_var
# mkdir var
# mount /dev/sda8 /var
Added the following line to /etc/fstab
LABEL=var /var reiserfs defaults 0 1
When I reboot after this, systemd is timing out waiting for a var partition. Here is an pic taken during boot.
I restored the old var using the emergency shell and could reboot properly. I tried the same thing as a normal user using sudo after the system was up. (During the moving, I got sudo warnings because the sudo folder in /var/db wasnt there.)
With the new var partition in place, I proceeded to install a few packages. But when I rebooted, I the same thing happened again and had to get into emergency shell and restore the old var.
However, after this, the packages which I installed in the interim are not available in pacman database.
1. How can I move /var to a separate partition and still keep systemd happy?
2. Is there a way to rescan or rebuild the pacman database? Will syncing the 2 different var setups that I've solve the problem? If so, how can I sync them?

Maybe you should add reiserfs in the modules array in mkinitcpio.conf, then "sudo mkinitcpio -p linux" and reboot.
I tried it now, but I ended up with the same problem again.
Arch Linux + Compiz Standalone
I tried it now, but I ended up with the same problem again.
The module is not called reiserfs, maybe it's reiser4.
Isn't Reiser4 supposed to be different from Reiserfs? According to the wiki, Reiser4 specifically requires a patched kernel. Is it the case with Reiserfs too? I did not think so.
Besides, in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as example is stated to included "reiserfs" and not "reiser4". So, i think they both are different.

I don't know, I don't use it. To be sure it's not the filesystem, you could try with a ext4 /var partition to see if the problem insists.
I did exactly the same procedure as you just yesterday with no problems (installed an ssd, booted from the old disk as usual and rsynced to the new ssd,
the only difference is that when i had to move the /var to a new partiotion in the HDD, i didn't reboot but I did a telinit 1 and continued from there.
You should also remove a possible source of ambiguity by not labeling the partition "var" and by not using labels. Use a device path (/dev/sd...) or even better, the UUID.
krest and Awebb,
I followed both you suggestions. I did a telinit and synced and modified /etc/fstab to use UUID. var partition is mounted properly now.
Thank you for the tips.
Could you explain what was the problem with using LABELs? I use LABELs for mounting all other devices, including root. Is it a matter of using LABELs or this label name in particular. In either case, if you could shed some light on it, i'd be pleased to know.
Arch Linux + Compiz Standalone
My /var partition is also labeled "var" with no problem. I use UUIDs in the fstab though.
I changed my setup that way now.
But, what difference does it make to have the partition identified by LABEL than by UUID as long as there is no ambiguity? could it be a bug with systemd or reiserfs or anything else?
Arch Linux + Compiz Standalone
I'm thinking in collision propabilities here. How probably might the device node change? I have machines that keep doing this without a real reason. I'd prefer labels on such machines. Other machines don't - without a real reason as well. I'd prefer device node notation on such machines. Labels can be changed manually, new partitions can be added and USB sticks with labled partitions can be inserted. While the USB situation should not be a big deal, both, labels as well as device nodes can be subject to changes, collisions and other arbitrary events. The only thing that is unlikely to change (for no obvious reason), be altered by accident or made collide with another one, are UUIDs.
I would not say using lables is bad, it's just that if you already have an issue, why not rule that out? It seemed to have solved the issue, it can be as easy as playing safe sometimes. Furthermore, the reason why I recommended to change the label from "var" to something else, is how common "var" is. It is like using a keyword in a programming language as a variable name, it may or may not work, so why not make it a habbit of not using such meta-keywords at all?
EDIT: There is no particular reason, I suspect the lable isn't set correctly. Maybe there is a problem with the partition table - that's where I'd suspect the LABLE to be stored.
Or maybe you just did the whole by-label thing wrong.
"/dev/disk/by-label/var" instead of LABEL="var"…
Last edited by Awebb (2012-11-04 15:27:43)
I think the device nodes are assigned in the order that they are scanned/recognized. In my case the boot drive (SSD) is connected to the 2nd SATA channel on the motherboard and is recognized as sdb. The aux drive (HDD) is connected to 1st SATA channel on the mb and is recognized as sda.
I use a single PC and there is probably less than one in a million chance that LABEL conflict could occur.
I have mounted root using LABEL and it boots just fine.
LABEL=ArchSSD / ext4 defaults,discard 0 1
However, my question still remains open. Since I've mounted even root using a LABEL, I'd be interested in knowing what was happening with var.
