Philipp Bagus and Markus H. Schiml, Ludwig von Mises Institute Only two things can save the Fed at this point. One is a bailout by the federal government. This recapitalization could be financed by taxes or by monetizing government debt in another blow to the value of the currency. The other possibility is concealed in […]
Paco Alhgrin, Seeking Alpha Here, I'll simplify it: your government, through Legal Tender laws, is forcing you to use dollars to navigate the economy in which you reside. It is then printing this currency with reckless abandon. Finally, the same government is issuing more debt than ever before in history, which it will loan to […]
Adrian Ash, Bullion Vault 'No Inflation, Constant Expansion' was a misnomer to start with, the lie of the first half undone by the scam of the second. Plenty more academics (most of them policy-wonks, too) also stepped up to put a name on that era, variously calling it "The Great Moderation" (Ben Bernanke) or "Great […]
Jeffrey Christian, CPM Group At the end of the de-leveraging, you will see a divergence between gold and silver on the one hand and industrial commodities on the other. Even today we have this very strong demand for physical gold and silver globally, from India to the Middle East to America. Once the de-leveraging ends, […]
Ted Butler, Investment Rarities Maybe one in a million of the world's citizens realizes that there is much more gold in existence than there is silver. If sufficient numbers of people knew this fact, gold would not be 75 times the price of silver. In fact, gold might be a lot less than 16 times […]
Ty Andros, Tedbits The greatest transfer of wealth from those that store their wealth in paper to those that don't is unfolding.

Most light fixtures expect a 4" "ceiling box" which is a kind of rounded-off square box (also called an "octagon box"):
I always mount them as you described -- on a 2x4 in the joist cavity. A similar box is available for about 3x the price called a "ceiling/chandelier box" and comes with hardware for mounting fixtures like fans or (!) chandeliers, but the weight of your fixtures will determine which you need.
Get the kind of box that has knockouts in the bottom (shown), since you won't be able to bring the cables in to the side of the box. Drill or saw a hole in the 2x4 to match up with the bushing in the box and pass the cable through the hole.
They make these boxes with a mounting tab attached, which would eliminate the requirement for the 2x4 (just mount it to the side of a joist), but I don't like them -- you're limited in where you can mount the box, and I wouldn't trust them with any weight:
Do you have access to the space above the ceiling?

text: Air in the system has nothing to do with it being a MonoFlo system. And all systems need some type of air removal device, although many MF systems had a BoilerTrol which separated it at the boiler. A new expansion tank will also not do anything to cure it. The most likely source of ongoing air problems is a bad seal at the pump which allows air to enter but not water to leak out.

Yahoo! Is the most popular fantasy hockey league manager, but they can sometimes be quite slow to reflect the reality of the NHL as far as player position eligibility goes. So it's important to keep an eye out for changes in that area, because some players can become quite attractive once they gain a new position. Here's a recap of some recent eligibility changes and how it affects a player's value.
Petr Prucha (C Added RW) – As a center, it wasn't even worth keeping an eye on Prucha in anything but the deepest of fantasy leagues. However, as a right-winger you'll want to gamble on him despite that fact that he hasn't scored a point in his last six games.
Chris Higgins (C Added LW) – Higgins might actually be a free-agent in your league since he wasn't worth much as a center, but as a left winger he deserves to be picked up in all leagues.
Patrick Elias (C Added LW) – Elias has been extremely disappointing this season, but he averaged nearly a point per game last season and produced 195 point in 195 games the past three seasons. Point-per-game left-wingers are extremely rare, so you might want to target Elias in trade talks.
Scott Hartnell (RW Added LW) – It's extremely rare for players to be eligible on both wings, so despite Hartnell's slow start you might want to consider picking him up if he's available in your league. Despite not having found the back of the net yet this season, Hartnell remains capable of producing 20 to 25 goals.
Evgeni Malkin (LW Added C) – It doesn't really change his value since you'll use him at left wing, but it's always fun to have the flexibility.
Petr Sykora (C Added RW) – Sykora is averaging exactly a point-per-game as Syd the Kid's partner and that's despite a relatively slow start by Crosby. Only 7 right-wingers scored 80 points last season.
Nathan Horton (C Added RW) – Horton has 40-goal potential, which could put him amongst the top 5 in that department amongst right-wingers.
Markus Naslund (RW Added LW) – We have now come to accept Naslund as a merely average player, but like previously mentioned, eligibility on both wings is quite valuable.
Martin Erat (LW Added RW) – Erat's value is actually on par with Naslund's, which says more about Naslund that it does about Erat. He's a good trade target since he's always undervalued and will bring you roster flexibility.
Zach Parise (LW Added C) – See Malkin.
Wade Belak (D Added RW) – Yeah, like you'd ever use Belak on right wing, heck, you wouldn't even use him on defense.
Finally, will somebody explain to Yahoo that Marian Gaborik and Pavol Demitra can't both be right-wingers since they play on the same line. If you're lucky Demitra will become eligible on left wing any week now.
Industry Experts league
This time of year things can change quite quickly in fantasy standings and I've moved up to 5th place in the Industry Experts League. The category really hurting me is the penalty minutes where I stand in last place, but I've picked up Jared Boll to give me a hand in that area.
Interestingly, the three representatives from Rotowire rank 1-2-3 in the standings, but I don't see Levine staying in first place with a goaltending duo of Pascal Leclaire and Alex Auld.
Questions for the Frog
What the heck do I do with Scott Gomez? I've stuck with him as a utility player in Yahoo Fantasy hockey, but he's done zilch. Is Antropov finally for real? Currently in centre I have Andy macDonald (yuck) Mike Comrie (good start, but...) and Scott Gomez. Should I switch one for Antropov? – Mike (Toronto)
FROG: Don't despair about Gomez, his line has been struggling as a whole, but they'll do much better soon. Brendan Shanahan is playing better than his production suggests, which his 32 shots on goal attest to. You should still expect 60 to 70 points from Gomez, which is the norm for him. Comrie's totals are misleading since he scored 6 points in the first two games, but only 1 in the following four games. Comrie is definitely a 60-point player at best. As for McDonald, I don't expect much more than 50 points unless Selanne comes back. I would have no problem dropping him for Antropov who was under the radar to enter the season, but whose 18 goals in 54 games last season average out to 27 goals over 82 games. He has the talent to put up those 27 goals and 65 points and even is he really slows down, it's worth it to ride him while he's hot. Just keep an eye on the Selanne situation since his return means a return to 80-point form for McDonald.
I am looking to put Wellwood into my line-up and I have 3 players I am considering dropping, Pyatt, Calder or Todd White. None of them are doing much yet but if Pyatt plays with the Sedin's or once Atlanta gets things going if White plays with Hossa or Kovalchuk they may be worth holding on to. What do you think? In case you're wondering why I even have any of these players I am in a 12-team league that has 19 forward/defensive positions per team. - Doug (Toronto)
FROG: Very deep league you've got there, similar to the Industry Experts League. Your choice isn't as hard as it would seem at first glance since whoever you drop will not become a star. You should make your choice based on the scoring categories that you use. If you prefer goals, go with Pyatt or Calder, for assists go with White. For overall potential I'd go with White at the moment because Atlanta's big guns need a center. He has the best shot at 60 points. Don't even consider Calder if you use +/-, LA's defense is horrible so most Kings' players will have problems in that category.

Research-Effective Online Teaching
Course Definitions
Overview – Course Development Process
Thank you for your interest in online and/or hybrid course development and instruction. Teaching online is not just a way of reaching distant or busy students; it is a new way of teaching. Online and hybrid courses offer new, creative ways of presenting information and a higher level of interactivity between instructor and students.
MTSU faculty members have the opportunity to develop and to teach the following types of alternative delivery courses: online, hybrid, accelerated online, and Regents Online Degree Program (RODP) courses. MTSU also offers alternative delivery courses which do not require approval through the University College process: synchronous online, videoconferencing, off-campus, web-assisted and web-enhanced.
Distance courses are developed by MTSU faculty (including full-time, full-time temporary and adjunct faculty) with the assistance of:
Desire2Learn (D2L) is the MTSU-supported learning management system, and all faculty new to online and hybrid course development are required to complete training on this system.
Faculty developing online and hybrid courses receive a fee based on the type of course and the number of credit hours developed. Only existing, MTSU courses (approved by the Curriculum Committee or Graduate Council) may be developed for online or hybrid delivery. Development fees are paid only for courses which have not been previously designed for online or hybrid delivery. Special Topics courses are the exception.
Upon completion, all new MTSU online and hybrid courses are peer reviewed by an assigned Online Faculty Mentor (OFM) and reviewed and approved by the department chair before being placed on a semester schedule. The course developer is also expected to conduct a self-evaluation of the course before submitting it to the OFM for the peer review.
Because department chairs/school directors have the option of assigning online and hybrid courses to other instructors, courses must be developed with that thought in mind. Course designers serve as lead designers of their approved courses and are responsible for updating course content and sharing it with sectional instructors.
At the end of the three-year contract period, course designers may substantially redesign their online and hybrid courses and receive a redesign fee. The peer review/chair approval process also applies to course redesigns.
On this page, and subsequent pages, information is presented to guide you through the MTSU online and hybrid course development process, and helpful development and instructional resources are provided.
This section provides links to effective teaching and learning resources.
Definitions of MTSU online and hybrid courses are provided below to help potential course designers determine the type of delivery method best suited for their courses.
Online Courses
All class instruction takes place in an online environment, and frequent interaction with the student is necessary. Responses to student questions should be provided within 24 to 48 hours. Online course instructors cannot require any physical class attendance although "optional" on-campus, face-to-face, or online meetings and proctored exams may be offered.
A development fee is paid for course development, and all courses are peer reviewed and receive final approval by the department chair.
MTSU currently supports learning management system Desire2Learn (D2L) . All online course content is to be developed for and taught using this system. Online courses are usually taught as part of the faculty member's course load.
Hybrid Courses
Hybrid courses offer a significant portion of the instruction and activity online, and frequent interaction with the student is necessary. Responses to student questions should be provided within 24 to 48 hours. Hybrid course instructors can require face-to-face or online meetings up to fifteen (15) hours total for the semester. Instructors typically use the 15 hours (or less) of required meetings to cover material that may be more easily communicated in a face-to-face environment than online.
A development fee is paid for course development, and all courses are peer reviewed and receive final approval by the department chair.
MTSU currently supports learning management system Desire2Learn (D2L). All hybrid course content is to be developed for and taught using this system. Hybrid courses are usually taught as part of the faculty member's course load.
Accelerated Online Courses
All class instruction takes place in an online environment, and frequent interaction with the student is necessary. Courses are offered online in an eight-week schedule each Fall and Spring semester and may include optional meetings such as orientations and proctored exams. Optional meetings do not create time conflicts in the scheduling system.
Students may take only 9 hours in each part of term (A1 or A2), and they may mix accelerated courses with full-term courses - not to exceed 18 hours total. Students must register for A2 courses during regular registration, and they are not permitted to add the A2 courses after late registration ends except by special permission. Five seats each course/semester are restricted to students in the B.S., Liberal Studies degree. A "D" section number is attached, and the MTSU Distance learning fee applies ($10 ug/$15 grad per credit hour). Accelerated Online Courses are developed and approved through Distance Education Faculty Services in the University College.
A brief overview of the MTSU online/hybrid course development process is outlined below.
As you make decisions about converting your course to an online or hybrid format, it will be helpful to understand the roles of each of the following: Course Designers; Department Chairs; Distance Education Faculty Services; Distance Education Student Services; Instructional Technology Division (ITD); and Online Faculty Mentors (OFMs).

I spent Arbor Day weekend in the countryside outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, speaking and conducting workshops at Terrain, the new garden center opened by the company that owns Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, among others. The best word or phrase I can come up with to describe Terrain, besides stunningly beautiful is well-appointed. It is by far the most perfectly organized and detail-oriented garden center I have visited to date. I could have set up a cot in a corner somewhere and moved in for a month, and I would have been comfortable and engaged for the duration. Not only was the overall space beautiful and harmonious, but every single inch seemed to be accounted for.
The effect on my brain was simultaneously relaxing and overwhelming. As a result I took very few pictures, barely enough to provide you with a tour.
I was at Terrain for two days yet I did not have nearly enough time to explore… after all they had brought me out to do a job and that was my primary focus. I'd love to go back again as a regular customer and have the full experience over the course of a full day: slowly meandering among the plants and displays from building to building, followed by lunch in the cafe. When they first told me there was a cafe on site I was sold. Spending hours labouring over plant-buying decision-making is hard work! But the cafe at Terrain doesn't just serve any old food, they serve GOOD FOOD. Again, I was always either too hungry or too rushed or without camera to take a photo but every meal they prepared for me was delicious and beautifully presented. When I arrived at my hotel after a long day of travel there was a boxed meal waiting for me prepared by the chef. It contained: a microgreens salad topped with seasonal asparagus and Parmesan shavings. The salad dressing was perfect, and not too heavy on the vinegar as is often my complaint with most restaurant salads. This was accompanied by some kind of whitefish (I'm not sure what but it might have been poached) and a side of what I believe was basil-infused oil. There was also a box of toasted baguette slices with herbed butter. I generally try to avoid sugar, but the desert was an espresso-soaked tiramisu presented in a glass jar. How could I NOT eat that? And then I pretty much didn't sleep that night, but it was worth it.
On day two my lunch contained a similar salad (I requested it again because it was THAT good), although this one had yummy, soft white beans instead of asparagus. There was also a split pea soup served in another glass canning jar and a miniature bread loaf baked and served right in a tiny terracotta pot! I wish I'd got a picture of that but I didn't have my camera on hand. On Saturday my guests took me out to a local restaurant that featured a 100 mile menu. The food was great but the highlight was actually a Mexican ice cream place called, La Michoacana where I chose the most unusual flavor on the menu, corn ice cream topped with chili powder! Folks, I had corn ice cream in a small town in Pennsylvania! Who knew?
And now I am hungry, having just described food for two paragraphs.
Back to Terrain. While conducting workshops I was introduced to their potting soil, specially prepared for Terrain by Organic Mechanic. It is by far the most beautiful potting soil I have ever used. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that potting soil. I could not stop running my hands through it. It has the absolute perfect texture and consistency, and is comprised of all of the best ingredients including coir instead of peat, rice hulls, and worm castings. Why can't someone over here make a prepared potting soil even remotely as good as this one?
Some other highlights I managed to photograph:
And here's what I bought. I came out relatively unscathed since I didn't have a lot of time to shop, can't take plants over the border, and didn't have much room in my luggage. I think I've left a few odds and ends out, but I am already forgetting what it was. The two seed packets with vintage-inspired illustrations were purchased at Terrain but the others were purchased across the street at Target. I purchased several more than are shown but they have already been opened, sown, and scattered somewhere among my various seed storage methods. We don't have Target here in Canada so the trip was a bit of cultural anthropology in itself. Shannon and I spent a good hour or more walking up and down the aisles marveling at the curious items and getting high on off-gassing plastics. I also bought water flavored with mint, which I've got to say was oddly unpleasant and seemed kind of silly since you can simply add some mint to water to achieve the same effect.
You'll recognize the old-thymey letter-press cards from my Holiday gift round-up. I'm not sure how the metal globe thing is supposed to be used, but it looked like something I could have fun experimenting with. Amy Goldman's "The Compleat Squash" was a total score since a friend just recently informed me that it is out of print, and to top it off I got it for half price from the sale section. I was so excited to discover it on sale I mentally patted myself on the back as if I had achieved something miraculous in finding and then purchasing it.

ORU Inks Four Newcomers in Early Signing Period
"Our coaching staff and players want to welcome these four young women into our ORU basketball family," said Cussen. We love the talents that they will bring us on the court, but more than that we love who they are off the court."
"This class with help us increase our overall speed and athleticism, and they will be a big part of our identity as we graduate a strong senior class in 2013," Cussen added.
Balla is a 6-2 shooting guard out of Pecs, Hungary. She led her prep team, PTE Babits Mihaly, to 3rd place at the 2012 Hungarian Championship, and she also played for the Hungarian National Team at the 2012 FIBA U18 European Championship. She is the daughter of Attila and Krisztina Balla and the sister of ORU sophomore forward Bernadett Balla.
Matlock is a native of Fayetteville, Ark. The 6-1 forward led Fayetteville High School to a State Championship in 2011, when she was named her team's Newcomer of the Year. She also participates in track & field at Fayetteville, and she is the daughter of Robin Matlock.
Ogden is a 5-4 point guard from Denton, Texas. The daughter of James and Lisa Parks, Ogden was named the Texas District 5-4A MVP in 2011 and 2012, and she has led Billy Ryan High School to three straight District Championships and a Regional title.
Wilson, out of nearby Muskogee, led Muskogee High School to the OSSAA 6A State Tournament in 2012. The 5-8 guard is the daughter of RuDel and Sheri Wilson.
"It is going to be a joy to coach this class," added Cussen. "I am very excited to see how they mesh with our returning squad next season."
ORU is 1-0 on the 2012-13 season after downing Tulsa, 64-53, in the PSO Mayor's Cup game on November 9. The Golden Eagles face UT-Arlington on Friday, November 16, with tip-off scheduled for 2 pm CT.

Reuters and Politico broke a major story today that TransCanada's northern leg of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline will not be decided on until after the 2014 mid-term elections...read more
New Infographic Shows how Keystone Pipelines are 'Built to Spill'
New Infographic Shows how Keystone Pipelines are 'Built to Spill'
TransCanada claims their pipelines are the safest in the continent. And the State Department seems inclined to agree having released their Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the Keystone XL pipeline last week. They find that the pipeline poses "no significant impacts" to the environment, and advise the project move forward.
So what about the 12 spills along the Keystone I line in its first year of operation? Since commencing operation in June of 2010, the Keystone I pipeline has suffered more spills than any other 1st year pipeline in U.S. history.
In addition to a nasty spill record, the proposed Keystone XL will cross one of the largest aquifers in the world – the Ogallala – which supplies drinking water to millions and provides 30% of the nation's groundwater used for irrigation. Pipeline construction will also disrupt 20,782 acres, including 11,485 acres of native and modified grassland, rangeland and pastureland, and pipeline construction will threaten sensitive wildlife and aquatic species habitats.
According to the EPA, carbon emissions from tar sands crude are approximately 82% higher than the average crude refined in the U.S. Given the extremely toxic nature of tar sands bitumen and the fact that Keystone is TransCanada's first wholly owned pipeline in the U.S., it seems reasonable to look to TransCanada's performance with Keystone I for clues on how it would manage Keystone XL.
And the clues are telling.
For one, Keystone I is the youngest pipeline to have been considered an immediate threat to life, property and the environment by pipeline safety regulators.
This Keystone pipeline infographic below shows the spills documented in TransCanada's publicly released safety records alongside the proposed route for Keystone XL, and indicates key risk areas near waterways and major metropolitan areas.
Check out the infographic below, and head over to the Huffington Post to read more.
Update: The graphic has been corrected to fix errors in #5 and #6. Thanks to the commenters who caught them.

'The amount of most of those "spills" is quite trivial. I dump more down the storm sewer whenever I do an oil change on my 4x4.'
What an irresponsible so-and-so you are, unless of course this is just a wind-up.
'It's okay, I bought carbon credits.'
Crass thinking on display again. Carbon credits are not intended to cover such reprehensible actions, actions from which you are probably open to prosecution. Certainly would be here in the UK.
Also demonstrates why 4x4s should be discouraged.
I cannot understand people like you. I maintain several vehicles for our business, and old oil from oil changes is always recycled!
Yes - it is a bit of a hassle - but our planet is fragile, and worth the effort.
Dumping in the storm sewer - crazy and criminal!
As for carbon credits - really just a boondoggle to make people feel better about doing things they know that they should not do!
I see that spill #5 occurred in Andover, South Carolina, but the pipeline is nowhere near South Carolina according to your map. Did you mean South Dakota? Also, your list of spills is in chronological order, except for #6 (unless it was really 2011 instead of 2010).
recyclenot--your 4x4 uses 21000 gallons of oil? Must be some engine. True, most spills were minor, but one 21000 spill in the first year of operation is enough to raise red flags. Oil may be natural, but then so is arsenic, mercury, lead, hydrogen sulfide, and for that matter botulism--just because its "natural" it doesnt mean you want to be spreading it across the country.

Harrison-Hoge Superior Frog
An improvement on the legendary Bill Plummer's SuperFrog, the Harrison-Hoge Superior Frog casts long, always lands on its belly, floats high and upright with its eyes at the waterline, cuts through thick vegetation and produces an irresistible, lifelike leg-kicking action on the retrieve - just like the real thing. Slurp!
Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by jbilyeu bad frog this frog either flips on its back or the singlr hook snags any loose vegitation. frog is not worth the the money or time if am given this frog for free i will toss it in the garbage can.it dont catch fish it fall apart fast and it looks ugly. July 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by catdaddy23 frog This is an o.k. frog. I actually landed a small bass today and the single hook is better on the bottom w/ the weedguard. July 18, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by POH29 Inefficient Frog The only good thing about this frog is that it is weedless. It constantly flips over onto it's back while you are reeling it in and the legs do not kick to give it the look of a real frog. April 27, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by DinoBrava Not the same! I am pretty sure Panther Martin makes these frogs now. The old Harrison Hoge Super Frogs would float in a very natural way and bass and pike would hammer the snot out of them! Great fun! These new frogs are much denser and will not float if you have any line out. If you use a leader for pike forget it.....the lure sinks like a stone....and you end up dragging it through the slop. If you want to pull weeds off a lure all day, buy this so-called Superior Frog. I have fished the old Frog for years and they are great. They never should have changed the material or the design. I just bought a bunch of small medical bottle corks and I plan on inserting them in the 20 frogs I bought and hope I can get them to float this season. April 4, 2010

Former Nebraska defensive end Cameron Meredith is scheduled to appear Aug. 8 in Lancaster County Court after being cited for third-degree misdemeanor assault. The citation is in connection with a June 16 alley fight in downtown Lincoln. Meredith has not yet formally been charged.
According to witnesses in a Lincoln Police Department report, Meredith was among a group in the alley between 13th and 14th Streets and P and Q Streets that was trying to get into an apartment complex above area businesses.
At around 2 a.m., a group on the roof of the complex started yelling obscenities and throwing items at the group below. The roof contingent went into the alley, and a fight eventually ensued. The police were called at 2:09 a.m. and both groups were dispersing by the time they arrived.
The alleged victim, a 20-year-old male, tried to break up the fight, according to the report. He was left with a fractured jaw, fractured orbital bone and a bleeding cut to the back of the head. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. Meredith, the report states, "was later identified as the man who assaulted the victim."
Meredith, who is out of state, was interviewed and notified of his court date by phone. Police are still investigating the incident. No other citations have been filed against Meredith or others who may have been involved in the alleged fight.
Meredith started 41 games at Nebraska, finishing with 196 tackles and 13 sacks. This is his third non-traffic related case in Lancaster County Court. In March 2011, Meredith pleaded guilty to one count of trespassing and paid a $50 fine. In July 2010, he pleaded guilty to one count of disturbing the peace and paid a $150 fine.

Information on our partners in aviation and media contact information has been provided at the end of this guide.
Media Information
Media personnel wishing to obtain information from WAA should contact the WAA's Manager of Communications & Public Affairs via the 24-Hour Media line, (204) 992-2791. Additional information such as news releases, annual reports and public notices can be obtained from our website.
Requests for interviews with WAA representatives or requests for authorization to shoot video, film footage or shoot still photography at the airport should, if possible, be made in advance to the WAA's Manager of Communications & Public Affairs. Authorization to shoot video, film footage or shoot still photography of specific airlines, their aircraft or facilities must be obtained directly from the airlines.
Non-Secured Areas
Media personnel wishing to access non-secured areas such as parking lots, parkades, roadways, observation areas, hallways and other common areas are required to notify the WAA's Manager of Communications & Public Affairs of their intentions in advance so we can better accommodate your needs.
Media personnel are permitted to shoot video, footage or photography and conduct interviews as long as it does not impede, block or restrict airport flow and movement of travellers and airport staff. It is imperative that all emergency fire exits and escape routes remain clear at all times.
Secure Areas
All security screening areas are operated by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA). CATSA has strict regulations regarding the filming, videotaping or photographing of these areas. Photographing or recording video footage of monitors which display passengers' luggage while undergoing pre-boarding is strictly prohibited without consent of CATSA. Media personnel are permitted to go through screening areas into secure areas only with the permission and escort of WAA's Manager of Communications & Public Relations. Media personnel and their equipment are subject to normal security screening procedures.

Other Airport Areas
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport is comprised of several airlines and agencies that partner in providing services. These services, such as security, immigration, customs and concessions work to support the airport. Media requests specific to any of these agencies should be made directly to the agency in question.
Media Parking
When covering a news story at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, WAA asks media to park in the Parkade across from the airport. As a courtesy, WAA will provide free parking to media for the purposes of covering a news story involving the airport.
During regular working hours (Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm) please contact the Media line, at (204) 992-2791 and a representative from WAA will provide you with a validated parking ticket. Outside of regular work hours, please see Info Booth staff on the Arrivals level. To exit you will require two tickets: first you'll insert the ticket you received when entering the parkade, followed by the validated ticket provided by WAA.
Media should refrain from parking curbside on the Departures or Arrivals levels. Vehicles parked at the curb are subject to towing at the owner's expense.
If you are doing a live feed and need to run cables into the terminal, you can make special arrangements in advance with WAA by calling the Media line at (204) 992-2791. There is very limited space available on the curb, and it will be assigned on a first come first served basis.
Important Information
It is the policy of the WAA to cooperate with news media to the greatest extent possible. Our primary responsibility however, is to ensure a safe and secure airport operation. Based on the nature of the situation, WAA may place restrictions on movement of the media during these situations. During an emergency situation the Airport spokesperson will confirm only known facts about an aircraft incident, such as:
- runway used
- aircraft owner
- type of aircraft
- general nature of problem as reported by the pilot of the aircraft, (i.e. engine trouble, gear trouble, indicator light flashing)
- status of aircraft (such as being towed to the gate)
- flight number
- origin and destination
For all other information, media are required to contact the airline representative or appropriate agency directly. Airport representatives will only provide information that has been confirmed by either the airline involved or the appropriate agency, and only with permission.
During an Emergency
- The cause of an accident or occurrence involving an aircraft is released by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) and by the airline involved after an investigation has been conducted into the matter. Until then, no agency will speculate about the cause of the incident.
- The passenger manifest can only be released by the airline involved and not by WAA.
- Information regarding communications between the air traffic controllers and the pilot(s) of an aircraft involved in an occurrence is released by the TSB and not WAA.
- Initial confirmation of any deaths resulting from an accident involving an aircraft is made by the coroner, the medical examiner, or other designated law enforcement agency. Information will not be released until family or next of kin of passengers and crew members are notified.
In the event of a non-aircraft emergency event, WAA's Manager of Communications & Public Affairs will coordinate the release of any information. If required, briefing areas will be designated for media personnel.

A Cranford man was killed in a crash on Walnut Avenue Thursday morning. A neighbor, whose home is directly in front of the crash site came out to help the victim whom she described as an elderly man.

New Providence
Interest surrounding the first liquor license in New Providence, which is up for bid right now, continues to spark interest around the borough but not from the Murray Hill Inn & Suites. Kerry Lee, the Inn's General Manager, penned a letter on Nov. 8 to Borough Clerk Wendi B. Barry, stating that the Inn would not be bidding on a liquor license at the established minimum of $400,000. "The minimum bid price being set by the Borough is significantly higher than what we had anticipated," Lee stated in the letter, which was included in the Council's Nov. 26 meeting agenda. "Please realize the our decision has been made with significant difficulty." But Mayor J. Brooke Hern said the borough is still receiving substantial interest in the first license and he, along with Councilman Bob Robinson, are optimistic about the bidding process.

Scotch Plains

A Bio Channel crime series needed a backdrop for an upcoming episode that partially takes place in a butcher shop and what better shop to choose then John's Meat Market in Scotch Plains. "They loved the look of the place," Son of John himself, Nick Losavio said. Nick was also given the opportunity to slice up some meat for the camera and he gave some of the crew a lesson in wrapping.

Comcast assisted Patel in producing his commercial featuring 115 SPFHS students and it now airs on channels such as TBS. MTV, Food Network, History Channel, Discovery Channel and more. "Just 3 seconds looking at your phone equals driving the length of three football fields blindfolded," Patel said. "I don't know why anyone would be willing to take that risk."

2012 Springfield Holiday Tree Lighting Expands
The annual municipal tree lighting ceremony, set for Sunday, Dec. 2, will feature its traditional mainstays of lighting the tree, a dramatic Santa appearance and children singing holiday songs. But this year, the event has been supersized with new features, including a petting zoo, hayrides and more. A lively debate has broken among Springfield residents over whether the winter holiday display should include a Menorah.
Dozens of residents met with Mayor Ellen Dickson and key city officials in Council Chambers on Tuesday night to discuss the effects of Superstorm Sandy and ways to handle future storms. Many residents expressed their thoughts and concerns with JCP&L throughout the informal gathering, which Dickson dubbed as a "power issues" town hall meeting. Numerous community members cited JCP&L's lack of communication, disorganization and outdated infrastructure as key reasons why residents had to suffer through lengthy power outages in the city after Sandy, and following Irene and the October Snowstorm in 2011. Some said it wasn't until day 13 post-Sandy when subcontractors from around the country — not local JCP&L workers — were even in town to make the necessary repairs. Mayor Dickson, City officials, and residents discussed options, such as improving JCP&L infrastructure, burying power lines and taking over the local utilities, among others.

Bond or Budget? Public to Decide How to Fund Roof Repairs
On Tuesday evening, the Westfield Board of Education met for the final time before the public votes on a $13.6 million bond referendum that would fund district-wide roof repairs on Dec. 11.
