Panda-Watching In a Chinese Zoo

Nearby, the Catholic Cathedral, a handsome two-story columned building, was left intact by the Japanese but all the furnishings were destroyed and the priests driven out during the Cultural Revolution, according to the priest Liu Xian-ru, who did farm work until the church was reopened in 1979. Some 300 to 400 people attend mass daily and more than 60 students are enrolled in the seminary, which opened last year, according to Mr. Liu.
There are several important active Buddhist and Taoist temples in the region, but one of the main historic shrines, called the Wu Hou or Marquis Wu Temple, was built to honor the third-century military strategist and statesman Zhu Geliang. There are imposing gilt statues of Zhu, his son and grandson, statues of 28 generals and civil officials of the Shu Kingdom as well as stone tablets with an account of the Marquis' military exploits and views on governing. It is said that Mao was an ardent admirer of the Marquis and sent officials to Chengdu to study his work.
The vast Precious Light Buddhist monastery, founded in the second century B.C., is a maze of temples, courtyards and pagodas that once housed a community of 3,000 monks, but now there are only a handful in attendance. At the temple entrance are two red sandstone lions and inside the gatehouse stand statues of two fierce-looking guards. Among the rich art treasures are a two-foot-high white jade statue of Buddha dating from the Ming Dynasty, a wooden ceremonial gong, fine paintings, rubbings, a stele of One Thousand Buddhas of the year 540 and a hall of the Five Hundred Lohans or Buddha's guardians. Most of the worshipers are elderly; many young people appear interested in the artwork.
The monastery's restaurant serves a light self-service lunch of spicy bean curd or noodles with mushrooms, or bamboo shoots, spinach or other vegetables with chilis for around $1. It is also possible to have a 24-course vegetarian banquet, but it should be reserved 24 hours in advance. The chefs pride themselves on vegetable specialties that are exact replicas of Sichuan's well-known meat or fish dishes, but the dishes are usually made of dressed up bean curd or bamboo. Prices for banquets vary widely, depending on whether the host is Chinese or foreign. Foreigners can pay about $10 each and must supply their own alcoholic drinks.
Once called ''the storehouse of heaven,'' Chengdu is an exciting place to go shopping. Night stalls along the main avenues display attractive modern calligraphy or landscape scrolls for as little as $1. Old-fashioned peasant markets offer a wealth of folk art for very low prices: beautifully woven straw bedroom slippers for less than $1, for example.
A popular excursion 25 miles northwest of Chengdu is the Dujiang Yan Dam, an engineering marvel that dates back to 250 B.C. This vast irrigation project is still functioning today, and visitors are given a detailed explanation of the system in English and Chinese in the exhibition and film room.
On the mountain nearby, people may visit the Two Kings Temple, a sprawling Taoist temple complex that was erected to honor the enlightened ruler Li Bing, who was behind the irrigation plan. Besides a spectacular view of the river valley, there are statues of the king and his son and a stone tablet inscribed with Li Bing's main principles of irrigation. These were essentially: divide floodwaters to conquer them.
A new superhighway is expected to be completed in the area next year. At the moment the going is slow because of all the tractor, truck and bicycle traffic engaged in widening the road.
Another reason for going to Chengdu is that it is an important gateway to Tibet, which is now beginning to open to foreign visitors. SOME PLACES TO STAY AND EAT Getting There
Chengdu is not on most package tours of China but is generally part of excursions to Tibet. Pacific Delight (132 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10016; 212-684-7707), includes Chengdu on its Scenic China tour to Kunming, as well as its Tibet Experience tour. Prices for the Scenic China tour are from $3,380 plus $13 tax to to $3,560 plus $13 tax. Prices for the Tibet tour range from $3,770 plus $13 tax to $3,930 plus tax.
Next year Lindblad Travel Inc. (1 Sylvan Road North, Westport, Conn.; 800-243-5657), plans to include Chengdu on its Yangtze River tour. Some tour operators such as China Passage (168 State Street, Teaneck, N.J. 07666; 201-837-1400), can arrange special-interest or professional tours to Chengdu, including visits to the city's medical college, which is internationally known for research into both Western and traditional medicine.
China Passage also organizes treks in the Wolong Natural Reserve. For a group of 10 or more, a week in the reserve, including room and board in a simple guesthouse, and the provision of vehicle and guide, runs $60 to $70 a person a day. Air fare to China is not included.
For the hardy, Chengdu is linked by a two-and-a-half-day train journey to Beijing via Xian as well as Kunming and Chongqing and the Yangtze River Gorges. There are also flights to Kunming, Guilin and other cities.
The best time to visit Chengdu is April and May or September and October; summers are hot and humid and winters wet and cold. Hotels
The best place to stay is the central Jinjiang Hotel (180 South Renmin Road; 4481) a huge, gloomy, boxy hotel that makes up in convenience what it lacks in charm. Many of the sights are in walking distance and it's possible to rent a bicycle near the hotel for $1 a day. The recently renovated rooms, $22 a night for two, have heat, air-conditioning, television, refrigerator and a thermos of very hot water on hand for tea.
The newer 15-story Chengdu Hotel (Donfeng Road; 42312) is more comfortable and about the same price but is situated one and half miles from the center. The Zoo
The Chengdu Zoo, which is in a northern suburb about four miles from the center of the city, is open daily from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. Admission is the equivalent of six cents. Restaurants
At the Jinjiang Hotel restaurant a four-course meal of peppery soup, bamboo shoots and mushrooms, duck slices and noodles and tea runs around $10 for two.
There are several other good places to eat, places, such as Furong (telephone 4004) and the Shaanxi Huigan, or inn (36 Shaanxi Street; 28496), which now have sections where foreigners are supposed to eat and where the spices are toned down and prices pushed up to about $15 a person, or three times what Chinese pay. Shopping
In addition to the night stalls along the avenues, the Sichuan Exhibition Center, in the center of the city at the beginning of South Renmin Road, has all kinds of handicraft, from sandalwood fans at around $5, small ivory animals at $3 to jade necklaces for $17 and up. M. H.

Do you know what _this_ is?
Sure, Her Story is great and all, but what if you want a classic cheesy FMV murder mystery game, full of scenery chewing and dodgy programming? Then you're in luck! Created by a Tim Follin, a long time video game composer, Contradiction: Spot the Liar! has spawned a bit of a cult following on the video game site Giant Bomb after Giant Bomb East did a Quick Look and was then so engrossed they recorded a supplemental Quick Look and is now continuing their playthrough as a premium feature (paywalled). The actors and producers have noticed the attention and have responded in kind, recording thank you videos and vines. They even (with the help of community members) managed to prank the GBeast podcast. [more inside]
Her Story: A game about a 20-year-old crime
In June, 1994, a man goes missing. His wife makes a series of interviews with police. Those interviews form the basis of the recently released title Her Story, an FMV-style game that tasks the player with digging through hours of video to determine what happened, and how, and why. [more inside]

The Definition of a Full Motion Video Game, Prior to the Kinect
In the early to mid 90s there was a trend in video games to use newfound CD processing capabilities to make interactive movies. These were called Full Motion Video Games (wiki), and they are cataloged by the site FMV World.

Harlan Estate 2004
Bordeaux Red Blends from Oakville, Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
For twenty five years, Harlan Estate has been committed to creating a California "First Growth" wine estate.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Very deep garnet-black colour with a purple rim. Though still very youthful and muted, this vintage is already subtly revealing a wide array of aromas including blackberry tart, cedar, violets, truffles, liquorice and all spice. In the mouth however this is no shrinking violet – the '04 is a big, concentrated and highly structured wine with somewhat impenetrable, tightly grained tannins and medium to high acid supporting its rich weight. Very, very long finish displaying hints of savoury earthiness and that signature minerality that appears to surface in better years. Drink 2009 – 2030. "
Wine Enthusiast - "The price is prerelease; it will soar on the aftermarket. This is very great Harlan. It pours dark and saturated, and the tannins are big and sturdy, not aggressive, but sweet and finely ground. Still, they give a hardness to the immaculately ripe fruit that mandates cellaring. The flavors of currants, blackberries, plums, chocolate and cedar are lush, deep and long-lasting, but just a part of the balanced appeal of this young wine. It really defines the exquisite tension between power and elegance. Best after 2008, then for many years. "
Wine Spectator - "Firmly structured and tightly wound, with deep, perfumed currant, anise, sage and cedary oak notes, picking up a mineral and pebble edge and ending with a return to the spicy currant fruit. Long and persistent, with tight tannins. Best from 2009 through 2020. 2,126 cases made."
International Wine Cellar - "Deep medium ruby. Superripe aromas and flavors of roasted black raspberry, licorice, mocha and minerals; just this side of liqueur-like. Thick, dense and silky but tightly wound and still youthfully closed. This compellingly deep wine boasts outstanding sweetness without coming off as over the top. Finishes with huge but sweet tannins and great length."

Harlan Estate Winery
For over two decades, Harlan Estate has been committed to creating a California "first growth" wine estate. Founded in 1984, Harlan Estate is set in the western hills of Oakville, rising above the fabled Napa Valley benchlands. Carved from the raw land and built for generations, the estate is over 240 acres of natural spendor, 15% of which are under vine, planted to the classic varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Torrey Smith says Patriots fans sent him 'rude tweets,' references brother's death
The Baltimore Ravens do not like the New England Patriots.
The Baltimore Ravens do not like the New England Patriots.
Over the next two weeks, the media will spend a tremendous amount of time focusing on Ray Lewis and the final chapter of his career with the Baltimore Ravens.
If Bill Belichick finds a way to have the New England Patriots removed from the Madden video game series next year, don't be surprised. As we all know, Belichick is the ultimate man of mystery.
Having long hair and playing football is a risk. As I'm sure you saw, Ravens receiver Torrey Smith learned that the hard way last weekend.
When Torrey Smith caught a pass down the middle of the field and was tackled by Pacman Jones on Sunday, three different officials threw a flag.
As I was typing the above headline I found myself feeling like we live in a pretty sad world. Believe it or not the headline has no mistakes.
Torrey Smith and Victor Cruz are wide receivers who caught the eyes of their quarterbacks — and many fantasy football team managers — with their studly play Sunday.
I'm sure by now you have all heard about the earthquake that shook the east coast from Virginia all the way up to Canada on Tuesday. The quake registered a 5.

Tose Proeski Was Buried at the Town Cemetery.
October 17, 2007
Macedonia bids farewell to star boy Tose Proeski Skopje, October 17 (MIA) - Tose Proeski - the idol, the icon, the ambassador of Macedonia, the nightingale with an angelic voice, the humanist was buried with full honors at the town cemetery in his native Krusevo on Wednesday afternoon. The tears of those who came to bid farewell to Tose, and the helpless weeping of his family and closest friends did not soften the reality. Tose is back in his Krusevo - forever. The honorary army guard handed over the flag from Tose's coffin to his father Nikola. Three salvos were shot in honor of Tose. Pontiff of the Macedonian Orthodox Church (MPC) HH Stefan, said that Krusevo and Macedonia have not felt such sorrow since 1903. "We have lost the best, most talented boy, whose voice promoted Macedonia. He thrilled us with his vocal and song, along with his love for God and mankind. He understood happiness, but did not forget pain. His last concert was his farewell to Macedonia. Continue to sing in heaven, and let angelic choirs accompany you", said HH Stefan. Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said, "Tose taught us the values of humanity, hard work and sincerity. He left much too young in the legends, leaving an invaluable legacy behind. He is a role model to be followed and respected. Tose has left his song to cheer us up when hard times knock on the door". "He has a star within, a pure heart, soul and will, which showed that Macedonia can be equal to all others. He left as he lived - dreaming of a better world, believing in a better tomorrow and believing in people", underlined PM Gruevski. "He was touched by God. I always waited for you and you always came. Hope has died in the biggest star that shall ever be borne in Macedonia. He was not an artist, he was a masterpiece", said his close friend Vesna Petrusevska on behalf of Macedonian artists. "We cannot believe he is gone. We were overjoyed to each of his successes, but he remained the same, his popularity did not change a thing from his character filled with cheerfulness", said Ilco Angelovski on behalf of his friends. President Branko Crvenkovski, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, Parliament Speaker Ljubisa Georgievski bowed before the coffin. Government ministers, MPs, Archbishop Stefan, church dignitaries, diplomatic corps representatives, ARM delegation, political parties, local authorities paid their respects, as well as fellow musicians, composers etc. Earlier, the coffin with the remains of Macedonian music star Tose Proeski was transferred from his home to church "Most Holy Birth Giver of God" in Krusevo, where a ceremony was held. Afterwards the coffin was brought to area Gumenje in front of the monument "Makedonium". Macedonian Army helicopter, transporting the remains of pop star Tose Proeski from Croatia, arrived at the Skopje Airport late Tuesday. Afterwards, the coffin was transported in a vehicle and sent to his native Krusevo as his family wanted. The Government declared Wednesday-October 17 a Day of Mourning, and posthumously proclaimed Tose Proeski Meritorious Citizen of the Republic of Macedonia. Macedonian mega-star Tose Proeski was killed in a car crash early Tuesday in Croatia. The accident happened on Tuesday morning at 06,25h two kilometres near Nova Gradiska in western Slavonia, when his Volkswagen Tuareg collided with a truck. Besides Proeski, who was sleeping at the front seat, his manager Ljiljana Petrovic (1958) and Gjorgji Gjorgjevski (1975) - driver, were also aboard the vehicle at the time of the crash. It is assumed that the accident happened due to insufficient distance between the vehicles while driving. The Volkswagen Tuareg crashed into the truck's trailer and halted on the grass. Liljana Petrovic suffered light injuries, while the driver sustained more severe ones. Tose Proeski was born on January 25, 1981 in Krusevo. He had his first more significant public appearance at the teenage festival "Melfest" in 1996. Proeski rose to stardom in 1998 with the hit song Pu+íti Me (Let Me Go) at the festival "Makfest" in Stip 1997. A year later, he participated at the Skopje Festival (the national contest for "Euro song" entry), with the song "Ostani do Kraj" ("Stay Till the End"). He represented Macedonia at the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul, finishing 14th with the song "Life." In 2004 he was named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and recorded the song "This World" which is now the UNICEF anthem. The albums that brought some great hits are: Некаде во ноќта, (Somewhere In The Night); 2000: Синот Божји, ( The Son Of God); 2003: Ако Ме Погледнеш Во Очи, (If You Look Into My Eyes), Ako Me Pogleda+í U Oči (Serbo-Croatian language version); 2004: Ден За Нас ( A Day For Us),Dan Za Nas (Serbo-Croatian language version); 2005: По Тебе, (After You) Pratim Te (Serbo-Croatian language version); 2006: Божилак, (Rainbow); 2007: Игри Без Граници (Games Without Borders), Igra Bez Granica (Serbo-Croatian language version). The album, titled Po Tebe (After You), is one of the most successful Balkan albums ever. It has been topping music charts for months in Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bo+¥ilak (Rainbow) is a compilation of 14 selected traditional Macedonian songs. The artist is backed up by a symphonic orchestra on the album. His most popular songs were "Eh, da sum Zlato" ("I Wish I Were Gold"), "Ruski Rulet" ("Russian Rullet"), as well as the above mentioned "Pusti Me" ("Let Me Go"), "Ostani do Kraj" ("Stay 'Till the End"), "Usni na Usni" ("Lips on Lips"), "Sonce vo Tvojte Rusi Kosi" ("The Sun in Your Golden Hair")... Tose was completing his last year at the Macedonian Music Academy and actively pursuing a worldwide music career. He held his last concert at the City Stadium in Skopje on October 5. The concert was humanitarian, intended to raise funds for reconstruction of primary schools in the country. October 17 www.mia.com.mk

EDUCATION CONSTRUCTION EXPERTISE: IT'S NO CLICHé TO SAY THAT SUCCESS COMES WITH DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.
At Suffolk, we recognize that working with education clients is a specialty in and of itself. In fact, we've divided our Education construction into three distinct areas of specialization: Higher Education, Public, and Independent. Our dedicated Suffolk teams understand that these Education clients are always part of a larger community and that their stakeholders are our clients as well. From the earliest stages of our education construction projects, we work hard to deliver the most accurate estimates, the most detailed, carefully developed schedules and a seamless construction plan that maximizes safety and minimizes disruptions on campus.
"Suffolk Construction has attended to details both small and large; they have advised the university on several value-engineering efforts, and made it all work. They have achieved the results that are important to us."
— Senior Director of Facilities Planning and Management,
Suffolk University - Modern Theatre
Suffolk Construction has been selected to perform preconstruction and construction management services for phase one of the Regis College campus-wide renovation in Weston, Massachusetts...
$24 million renovation to begin May 2014
$24 million renovation to begin May 2014
BOSTON, MA, January 13, 2014 – Suffolk Construction, one of the most successful, privately held building contractors in the country, has been selected to perform preconstruction and construction management services for phase one of the Regis College campus-wide renovation in Weston, Massachusetts. The first phase consists of a $24 million renovation to upgrade dormitories and campus facilities and a quadrangle that will transform the pedestrian experience.
"Suffolk understands what Regis is all about," said Regis president Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, RN. "The firm's work impresses us with its excellent quality, and we look forward to working together to achieve Regis' goals."
The renovation will include a 72-bed suite-style, four-story dormitory addition that will expand Maria Hall by 31,000 square feet. The upgrades will feature enhanced fire protection to Angela, Domitilla, and Maria Halls, as well as campus-wide utility improvements to the water and electrical services. A new quad and walkway, providing security and lighting, will convert the existing focal point of the campus into a green space, connecting the quadrangle, athletic and science centers, and the Spellman Philatelic Museum. The library entrance will also be changed to face the campus' new quad.
"Our higher education institutions must have visionary plans to meet the needs of students in the 21st century," said Suffolk Chairman and CEO John F. Fish. "We are thrilled to be partnering with Regis College to help build a campus infrastructure that will benefit the students of today and future leaders of tomorrow."
The Suffolk team is utilizing Target Value Design and Lean Construction techniques to ensure efficient project delivery, which is scheduled for completion in June 2015. The architect firm is Sasaki Associates Inc. and Colliers International is the owner's project manager.
Regis College is currently applying for a grant for a new science center, which is proposed for Phase Two. Also included in Phase Two are renovations to the existing student center as well as additional renovations to the library, dormitories, and athletic center.

EAST LIVERPOOL - A woman delivering meals to shut-ins was injured Wednesday after being run down by the car she was driving for her deliveries.
A collaborative effort between emergency personnel and construction workers resulted in her being safely removed from being pinned underneath the vehicle.
Betty Ostick, 62, of East Palestine, was volunteering for Catholic Charities, driving one of the agency's vehicles on Laura Avenue when she turned onto Ambrose Avenue and encountered construction workers and vehicles.

Ostick decided to turn around and began backing down Laura Avenue when she thought she had struck another vehicle behind her, according to police Captain Terry Faulkner.
She exited her vehicle to look at the other car but apparently left her car in "reverse," and it began to move backward. Ostick reportedly became entangled in the seat belt and was knocked down, where her leg became ensnared in the axle, dragging her along with the car.
The vehicle's wheels turned slightly, causing it to turn and drift into the man door of a nearby garage owned by Dave Damaso, with Ostick pinned face-down underneath.
Faulkner said it was fortunate the vehicle was stopped by the garage so it did not continue down the steep grade of Laura Avenue and that Ostick was pinned face-down, meaning her leg that was trapped around the front wheel was naturally bent at the knee and not backward.
He sat with her and her passenger, who had been in the back seat, unable to assist, until the fire department arrived on the scene.
"She was conscious and coherent at the scene," Faulkner said, adding she was in considerable pain.
The four firefighters on duty arrived with two engines and used multiple air bags to begin lifting the car from Ostick's prone figure.
As they began to lift the vehicle, it kept drifting, and according to assistant fire Chief Jeff Kreefer, "We commandeered the backhoe off the work crew," using a chain attached to the hoe and to the car to stabilize it so it would no longer move.
"My guys did an outstanding job; it went real smooth. I can't thank them enough," Kreefer said of firefighters who assisted.
Once Ostick was removed from under the vehicle, she was transported to East Liverpool City Hospital by Tri-County Ambulance. Her condition was not immediately known.
Pat King of First Class Towing was able to drive the vehicle away from the garage, and another volunteer from Catholic Charities drove it from the scene.

One of the world's greatest athletes liked breaking a sweat at the Downtown YMCA. Jesse Owens, the track and field legend who won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, worked out at the YMCA after moving to Phoenix in 1972. Ironically, Owens' exercise regimen did not include his forte. "I don't jog," Owens told the New York Times, "because I can't run flat-footed. And at 60 years old, you're crazy to be out there running."
To keep fit, Owens did six minutes of calisthenics, two miles on a stationary bike, 40 push-ups and pull-ups, skipped rope for five minutes, punched the bag for four minutes, rowed 100 strokes, and then finished up with the steam room, sauna and a massage. "A workout like that makes it a sunshine day and makes me happy to have lived this long," Owens said in an Arizona Republic interview in 1973.
"Owens was a low-key guy; some members didn't even realize who he was," recalls Doug Dunipace, who served as the YMCA's legal counsel. "My son and I talked with Jesse once in the steam room and he couldn't have been more gracious. Owens said he had been enjoying high-calorie food on a recent speaking tour and was hoping to sweat off a few pounds." Owens liked Arizona and Arizona liked him back, celebrating "Jesse Owens Day" in 1976. A pack-a-day smoker, Owens died of lung cancer on March 31, 1980, at age 66. Governor Bruce Babbitt declared a day of mourning and Owens' body lied in state at the Arizona Capitol before his burial in Chicago.

Erdy McHenry Architecture's design for Rowan University's Holly Pointe Commons includes two interconnected wings joined by study bridges floating above the ground level. The building is organized along a gradual curve establishing a formal campus oval at the terminus to the existing pedestrian campus greenway. Anchoring the western end of the site, a new 550-seat dining facility overlooks historic Abbott's Pond. The building will enhance the campus and community by providing 1400 beds, study areas, and laundry facilities.
The oval plan creates a new campus gateway to visitors approaching the University while enhancing student safety. Situated with a sensitivity towards the natural landscape, the new structure is surrounded by a rain garden serving as a visual/physical buffer and an environmentally sensitive approach to water management.
The multi-phased renovation of Meyerson Hall, seeks to revitalize the spaces used every day by Penn Design to welcome friends, colleagues and collaborators into the activities and spirit of the School of Design. The project consists of a Master Plan outlining a multi-phased renovation extended over several years along with a 12,000 sf addition.
Fundamentally, Meyerson Hall establishes itself as the 'Center of Design'. In support of this approach, this Master Plan seeks to address the academic objectives by enhancing the quantity, quality and efficiency of the studio space, consolidating the research facilities, introducing designated critique space, and providing a place for informal academic discourse and interaction.
The proposal eliminates existing site barriers to establish an active connection along the busy 34th Street, creating a cohesive urban edge. New windows introduced into Meyerson Hall enhance this street edge experience by exposing the interior creative activity to the surrounding campus. The overall site plan strategy ties together Meyerson Hall and Frank Furness' Fisher Fine Arts Library to enhance connections to the existing adjacent buildings addressing issues of accessibility, visibility, and pedestrian flow.
A new pronounced main entrance to the North, reorients Meyerson Hall and engages the campus edge to help reinforce the campus gateway at the corner of Walnut and 34th Street. Along with improving and enhancing the studio and academic spaces throughout the building, the master plan also proposes the enhancement of the overall user experience, by introducing a collaborative space known as the Commons, which includes a café to provide students, faculty, and visitors with a place to congregate and socialize. The space can be used for multiple functions including exhibitions, critiques, faculty staff meetings, special events, etc.
Phase 1 Implementation included the 2nd Floor renovations and upgrades, completed during the summer of 2013, including six studios on the east side and six on the west. In total, the studios were expanded to house 168 desks – 22 more than the previous configuration. The new studios were transformed to be more fluid, utilizing adjustable partitions between studios to accommodate different class sizes.
Phase 2 Implementation included the 3rd Floor renovation and upgrades, completed during the summer of 2014, which created six studios on the east side and six on the west. In addition to the studio renovation, this phase included the renovation of the school's primary computer labs and IT offices, along with exterior site improvements; a new accessible entry and canopy on the north side of the building.

Evo and Sky Green at Cira Centre South is a new off-campus residential Tower and one-acre park located in University City. The Tower extends the Cira skyline on the western bank of the Schuylkill River and represents a new housing option on a challenging site within walking distance to retail, residential, mass transportation and university facilities. EVO features attractively furnished units with bed-bath parity. It includes a broad array of high-end appointments including a roof top swimming pool, media lounge and a 24-hour fitness center.
The Tower is more than a place to sleep, eat and enjoy the wealth of amenities expected in a contemporary residential tower. This Tower is a critical component providing supportive, human-scaled residential communities. Smartly located "Public Squares" within the building are hubs of intellectual, social and recreational activity that stand at the center of a college experience, bringing together students, faculty, staff and the general public to form shared communities within the larger context of the nearby campuses and the City of Philadelphia.
Dubbed one of the tallest student apartment buildings in the United States, EVO sets new standards for student urban apartment living and along with its one-acre green roof as an added amenity, this project is in line to also establish new standards in sustainability and storm water management, targeting LEED Gold.

2015 – AIA Philadelphia Honor Award for a Built Project
The Lumen-Air House was designed in collaboration with Professor Tim Stenson for Upstate, an interdisciplinary center for design, research and real estate founded at the School of Architecture at Syracuse University. Upstate was seeking a sustainable and economical house that would breathe life back into Syracuse's Near Westside neighborhood. Crucial to Upstate's mission was the practicality, affordability and adaptability of the house. Per Upstate's market research, the project would need to be a 1,100-1,500sf home containing four bedrooms that could be built for under $150,000, including fees and site work. The final product would need to represent an example of cutting-edge, sustainable practices, but shouldn't leave the user feeling as though they were living in an architectural experiment.
The joys of Syracuse weather bring about the challenges of designing high performance, low energy housing in the surrounding area. In August, it is 82 degrees with a pleasant westerly breeze, but in February it's 15 degrees with a rather unpleasant northwest wind. The challenge is not simply to design a house, but to design two houses in one – a multi-mode environmental device.
The Lumen-Air House is a machine for living – in specific relation to the weather. In the warmer months – May through mid-October – the house opens flower-like to filter sunlight and accept the free flow of fresh air. For the cold gray winter it buttons up. The interior living spaces are protected, insulated, by thermal buffer zones on the north and south faces. Though closed down, the interior of the house glows with diffused daylight through the multiple layers of greenhouse enclosure. In the shoulder seasons – early to mid-fall and mid-to-late spring – the open-closed aspect of the house adjusts to the changing weather. The result is a house that engages directly and intimately with the weather throughout the entire year.
The Lumen-Air House does not intend to camouflage into it surroundings. On the contrary, these types of houses will introduce a conspicuous and positive, yet critical compliment to the character of the Near Westside neighborhood. The houses are optimistic. They are outwardly asserting that architecture can efficiently respond to climate, and, through design-for-better performance, also provide shelter, comfort and environmental benefits. Benefits to the individual include the extensive vegetable planter located on the roof. It is capable of producing enough food in the summer months to feed a family of 5 and still have left over produce for friends, family and surrounding neighbors
Through its particular and striking form, we also intend our design to signal and to critically proclaim that buildings must effectively engage their environment. Though not shy, these houses also conform to and compliment the housing fabric of the neighborhood. They are volumetrically sympathetic with surrounding buildings, and thus can patch holes in this existing fabric.
Erdy McHenry Architecture, working with the Architect of Record, Holmes King Kallquist & Associates in Syracuse, NY designed a mixed-use housing for approximately 312 beds with a breakdown including studios, one bedroom units, and 2-bed / 2-bath and 4-bed / 4-bath suites.
The complex is composed of a total of five floors, four of which are residential floors. The ground floor includes a combined coffee shop and convenience store; a clubhouse with a fitness center, computer lab and business center and a Department of Public Safety office.
A portion of the facade on Henry Street is pulled westward to create a planted entry plaza, providing a visual separation in the block-long facade. Seating from the retail space on the south end of the plaza provides life to a long-dormant portion of Henry Street while an outside terrace on the western side of the main building lobby allows students a quieter setting for studies.
2013 – AIA Central NY – Citation for Design | Residential: Multi-Family Award
Erdy McHenry Architecture has been commissioned to create a Master Plan for the Teaching Dairy Barn (recently finished) and Large Animal Teaching Complex (LATC) for Cornell University. The master plan describes the vision, principles and essential features that will guide the near-term and long-range development of the proposed site, and will establish objectives for the physical and functional structure of the site.
The Teaching Dairy Barn and its associated out-buildings were the first structures to be completed within Phase I of the Master Plan implementation. The sleek and modern building currently houses approximately 80 cows, with the capacity to hold 60 more for milking and an additional 30 "dry" cows (cows in between lactations and preparing to start the next).
The facilities include overhead fans, stall areas equipped with soft bedding, and electric backscratchers designed for cows to brush up against.
The Milking Center is composed of two areas—a milking and holding area and a training/observation area. The sides of the milking area are open to the elements with operable curtains on the east and west walls to seal the building during the winter months. Overlooking the milking parlor is a classroom designed for the students to observe the parlor and nearby stalls. The viewing/classroom space overlooking the milking parlor has a glass wall on the parlor side and is accessible via either a ramp from the west side or stairs on the east side.

2013 – AIA Central NY – Citation for Design
The Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) project started out of need for a parking lot and a bus stop on the site of the new Center of Excellence building, but the client wanted it to be more. The facility was to "tell a story" about sustainable design and inform the neighborhood of its work. They had a vision for the site to become an arts and cultural destination, to become a model of development for future urban books. A parking lot for 99 cars will be anchored by a large detention basin to mitigate the storm water run-off from within the site. Five parking spaces will be designated for hybrid vehicles and another five spaces will be equipped with car chargers for electric vehicle re-charging. A solar PV amature at the south edge of the parking lot will provide electricity to maintain the lighting and car charging stations. A small pavilion will become a shelter for bus passengers. The pavilion will have bike vending available for people to rent bikes, vending machines for a quick snack and lockers to store possessions. While waiting on a cold day, passengers can sit on a radiant bench, heated by the sun. A display wall will actively monitor the energy usage and production of the facility and allow workers to see work that is being done. It is intended to be "net zero".
The ITC will incorporate several environmental features that will reduce energy consumption, mitigate storm water runoff and be a tangible example for other ecologically-minded urban projects in Syracuse.
The ITC project will collect site-generated storm water run-off in a shallow basin that will encourage evaporation as well as transpiration through its use of plantings. A controlled outflow will connects the basin to the city's combined storm sewer system. As designed, this system will maintain storm water outflow at, or below allowable limits.
Solar Energy Collection is a major design feature of the ITC. Using either Photovoltaic (PV) and/or Solar Thermal Energy (STE) collection systems, the project is intended to generate all of its own energy – it is designed to be "net-zero". This includes the required electric loads for the ITC equipment, as well as the LED parking lot lighting. The PV collection system will be tied to the sites electrical system, allowing the overall site to benefit from any excess power that is generated.
Solar power monitoring will be displayed to the general public, showing current usage as well as power being generated. The form of the collection structure will change seasonally in order to increase its efficiency. By adjusting orientation to changing sun angles, the adapting structure will visually demonstrate seasonal optimization.
In winter, part of the collected solar energy will be utilized to temper the environmental conditions for transit riders waiting for the bus. A heated bench and partial wind enclosure will provide a warmed micro -environment through the use of radiant technologies. Using energy collected through PV and/or STE collection systems, the Intermodal Transportation Center will provide a safe-haven from the cold winds and harsh temperatures of the Syracuse winter.
The Pennsylvania Ballet's Board of Trustees generated a strategic plan designed to heighten the organization's national profile. The plan included establishing a school for classical ballet and expanding the organization's presence in the community through outreach and education. Migrating to a new home on the Avenue of the Arts has become a key component in implementing this plan.
The new complex, along The Avenue of The Arts, will allow the Ballet's multiple departments to exist under one roof. This facility will establish a tangible identity for the Pennsylvania Ballet on the city's major arts corridor, cementing the Ballet as an important part of the region's cultural landscape and a major presence on Broad Street.
Its new entrance will be set back from Broad Street and will be accessed by passing through a dynamic garden space. The garden space will have a series of landscaped benches where staff, dancers, and others involved with the Ballet can sit and relax. The space will be wrapped by a site wall giving a sense of privacy to the garden and creating a stronger street presence for the complex.
At the northwest corner of the site, the current White Building will be renovated for the Ballet's executive departments and will feature a mix of open office space planning and closed offices for department heads. Each office floor will feature a shared conference room and shared filing space.
The Shed and Garage buildings are located at the east of the site. Both buildings will be renovated and used for rehearsal studios and related program. The renovations will maintain the character of the former buildings by exposing existing brick walls and re-using existing window openings. A new roof will be built over the shed that will allow daylight into the rehearsal studios.
Connecting the White Building and the Shed Garage Renovation is a new construction that contains a reception area, dancer locker rooms, and a 3500 sf rehearsal studio. The rehearsal studio's size allows the Ballet to replicate the stage of The Academy of Music in preparation for performances. The rehearsal studio features a glazed wall where people can observe dancers in rehearsal. A large skylight in the reception area floods the area with daylight.
The renovated shed building and Studio Building will feature a green roof system that will aid in controlling the temperature of the spaces, as well as provide an attractive roofscape to surrounding buildings.
The Radian is a 500-bed, residential and retail center at the edge of the University of Pennsylvania's rapidly expanding campus. The project was developed by a private developer in collaboration with the university, which owns the land. The design integrates ground-level retail, residential services, and open space into a hybrid building that not only serves its residents and the university population, but the West Philadelphia community as well.
Ground-level retail pushes back from the street to open a public space for informal gathering. The residential entrance exists along this axis and public activity extends up and under the residential tower via a grand stair. This open court aligns with an adjacent quad on the south side of Walnut Street connecting with Locust Walk. Outdoor dining options are provided at the upper terrace level and allow for glimpses onto the street.
The building skin is a pre-fabricated rainscreen wall panel system. The pre-fabrication allows for a tighter tolerance and higher construction and quality. Being manufactured off-site brings an economy to the project which could not be met with typical construction processes.
Functioning as a critical element to the success of this mixed-use development, The Radian's green roof is located on an elevated terrace above ground-floor retail and adjacent to an outdoor dining area. The goal for its location was to make the roof approachable and to maximize the visibility of the system in order to bring residents and users of the terrace closer to understanding its eco-value. As a result, the roof functions as an environmental and educational amenity for the project. The 12,000 square foot green roof covers 20% of The Radian's total footprint and was originally designed to satisfy the city's stormwater control regulations.
The Rutgers Camden Graduate Student housing project was aimed at boosting on-campus enrollment and revitalizing the city's downtown. The 12-story building on Cooper Street, the first new student housing in Camden in more than two decades, houses about 350 students and includes about 7,000 square feet of retail space on the ground level.
Erdy McHenry Architecture teamed with Michaels Development Company (MDC) for this very important project. MDC's university housing division, University Student Living, develops, constructs, and manages student housing communities in areas adjacent to colleges and universities across the country.
It has been a goal of the Rutgers Student Governing Association to increase on-campus population. This housing and retail complex brings new energy to this campus and creates critical mass, which will likely expand to surrounding downtown Camden, encouraging future development. The 7,000 sq.ft. of retail space, defining the building at street level, re-establishes a language of community, greeting pedestrians and residents alike. Through innovative building practices, coalesced with a distinct neighborhood vernacular, the project is taking part in revitalizing Camden's community while creating a distinct collegiate environment.

The Northside Dining Terrace is a 5,000 square foot addition to the existing Kelly Hall dormitory on the campus of Drexel University.
The Dining Terrace seats approximately 140 students inside with additional seating outside on the terrace and steps. The space was designed to facilitate a pedestrian link for a community of students, faculty and staff. Located amongst a collegiate urban fabric, it provides a scenery astray from the typical college dinning experience by establishing a more intimate and less institutional setting.
2010 General Building Contractors Association Award for Best Institutional Project under $15 million.
Drexel University's history and reputation are heavily rooted in engineering and technology disciplines, so it seems only appropriate that those aspects of its built environment occupy a more prominent place in the conceptual infrastructure of the campus. This new dormitory is a building that is more than a superficial or decorative relationship, but rather a collaboration that respects and reflects the fundamental pedagogy of Drexel's historical roots.
This project was a collaboration between Erdy McHenry Architecture and Cecil Balmond, one of the worlds leading structural engineers. The building is the first at Drexel to establish and promote a design approach that embraces an integrated design team where the systems and structures are the conceptual drivers.
The dormitory plan strives to achieve a high level of efficiency by locating all stacked core elements toward the center of the plan and through allowing the students rooms to radiate about the edge of the core. While the core maintains the same orientation throughout the entire height of the building, the students' rooms rotate about the core.
In response to Drexel University's acute shortage for undergraduate student housing, the new dormitory was designed, engineered and constructed in fewer than 13 months. The project was organized by the university as design-build in order to accommodate the necessary fast-track schedule. This allowed for a more transparent process that brings together client, architect, builder, and subcontractors as active participants in the design process.
The new dormitory enhances the current and future campus pedestrian circulation. Taking cues from the university's master plan, the housing space rises up from the ground to allow passage through the site, which enables a stronger connection between residential and campus areas of the university.
A cast concrete plinth mediates the sloping site topography and establishes the entry sequence for the dormitory. The transparency of the first floor exposes the shared program elements for the building, which include: gathering/ recreation space, mail and package room, vending, administrative services, and laundry area. The corner areas of each floor contain quiet reading areas and a shared kitchen/ meeting space. Mechanical space, maintenance shops and bicycle storage is accommodated within the plinth.
The bedroom floors consist of four-bed suites with a shared living room. The layout configuration allows the suites to be mirrored in plan regardless of location. The exterior panel configuration reflects the location of the living rooms on the interior, adding variety to both the facade and the access corridor.
Systems selections were evaluated based on speed and constructability. The structural system is precast concrete plank set onto a steel frame. The exterior wall panels are shop-fabricated and were placed on the building as a finished, water-tight assembly consisting of brick, aluminum, glass and ribbed metal.
The program for this 1,200-bed residence building and 91,000 square foot retail building was designed to address the continuing renewal along the North Board Street Corridor. Adjacent to Temple University, this revitalized city block has become an active commercial and residential center that extends beyond the campus.
The project is comprised of two buildings, each organized to serve a different function. The commercial building occupies the active Broad Street edge, while the residential building sits toward the western boundary that's adjacent to existing residential stock in the community. At the northwest corner, there are eight existing buildings, which were spared from demolition and provide a wonderful juxtaposition between old and new.
Two access strategies were implemented to connect the residence building to the neighborhood. The first access strategy is a diagonal pedestrian walk running northeast into the heart of Temple's campus. The second is a drop-off parking lot and access point from the southwest. This diagonal circulation creates a unique opportunity for student-oriented commercial connection in the base of the residence building.
The residential building's interior is borne of a need for the utmost in flexibility. Given the building's program as a private dormitory, rooms needed to be able to be rented as students desired. A four-bedroom unit serves as the standard arrangement throughout the plan and all units are derivative of it. This system offers each floor an unlimited number of unit arrangements. Given that each bedroom has its own bathroom, units are able to be divided by 1, 2, 3 or 4 room leases according to demand at the time. This allows the building to adapt to students needs and wants over time.
Mark's Café is part of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Housing over 3,000,000 books, the library is an important student destination for both research and study. The café is located on the ground floor and provides both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a place where young people can refuel, meet fellow students, hold intellectual discussion, coordinate group projects, and meet informally with faculty.
Named after Mark Goldstein (C'83), Penn alumnus and son of Library Overseer Bernard Goldstein (W'53), the Café opened in 2003.
This new interactive space within the library provides a place for the free exchange of ideas in a more casual setting. Defined by a minimal enclosure, the space is fabricated as a modified möbius. The continuity of the möbius is implied by a normative shearing at logical points of access and transition. The enclosure provides an implied spatial boundary, while maintaining a presence of "the beyond". This foreground/background experience mimics the iterative process of learning in the present through tacit observation and interaction, while always evaluating and referencing the context of codified knowledge of the library.
The möbius extends out from the café to greet visitors from the elevator lobby and Goldstein Undergraduate Study Center. The opposite end of the möbius dematerializes into a sheet of water, providing a medium for rear-projection at night.
The space is technologically advanced and fully wireless. Students and faculty can proceed with their work in the café by utilizing wireless laptops both indoors and outdoors.
The café opens directly to the outdoors, reclaiming an existing underused sunken courtyard that faces College Green. This area produces an additional seating area for twenty-five people.

Upper Saddle River is situated in the northern section of Bergen County. This town borders New York's Rockland County at its northern end, and is one of the most affluent communities in New Jersey. This leafy town is mainly residential, with many large homes on 1+ acre lots. The gorgeous roads wind around the hilly terrain, and provide residents with a charming, quiet bedroom community. Though this town isn't the best place to find NJ apartments, there are still some rentals available in a handful of Upper Saddle River apartment buildings. Upper Saddle River has a library right in town, and has its main commercial activity along Route 17, which is the community's border with the town of Ramsey. Nearby is the Ramapo Valley Reservation, which lies a few miles west of town, on a 3,000 acre plot of land. This nature preserve has several hiking trails and a beautiful lake called Scarlet Oak Pond. This greenspace is the perfect place to spend a summer afternoon or to enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage among the thousands of wooded acres. There are too few train stations around the town to call it "accessible", but commuters living in Upper Saddle River apartments can take a NJ Transit train from nearby Ramsey Main Street Station. This line, however, does not go directly into Penn Station, rather, passengers will have to transfer to a Manhattan-bound train at Secaucus, or take the train to Hoboken instead, for a quick PATH ride into the city.

" Amazing good value! Great ppl, everyone knows everyone and feels like a big family living there. If you open up, you will be embraced by their kindness and have a good time there.

Even heard that the owner helps ppl looking for jobs etc.. We also got a free upgrade into the twin room because it was free :- ) "- Anonym

Google's malware notifications could be abused by scammers
It's on the internet, so of course it can be abused
INTERNET SEARCH GIANT Google is testing out an alert system for users whose computers are infected with malware.
It involves displaying warnings at the top of search result pages, a technique that might be abused by scammers to distribute malicious programs in the future.
For now, Google displays these warnings only to users infected with a particular click fraud trojan that hijacks search traffic and routes it through proxy servers controlled by its creators. This is probably done in order to insert ads in response pages.
There is reason to believe that if the results of this initial test are satisfactory, the company might consider extending the system to also cover other threats in the future. "We're trying this as an experiment to alert and protect consumers that we believe have infected machines. Please share this widely," said Matt Cutts, a Google engineer who leads the company's antispam team.
Google's warning is positioned between the web site's top navigation bar and the search box. It warns in big bolded text that "your computer appears to be infected" and contains a "learn how to fix this" link. These characteristics make it a perfect candidate for spoofing by scammers who distribute fake antivirus programs.
So far these criminal gangs have abused many types of alerts people are familiar with, including Microsoft's balloon notifications or Firefox's "attack site" web pages. There's no reason why they wouldn't start spoofing Google's malware warnings to direct users to malware too. However, it's not clear how Google can extend the system to cover other types of threats.
Identifying affected users in this particular test case is simple because the traffic comes from a few IP addresses associated with the rogue proxies. It's only users that access Google through those servers that see the warning, but other malware infections don't present such obvious tell-tales. Very few of them generate traffic that Google will be able to intercept, analyze and link to individual victims.
Even malware threats similar to the currently targeted one might not prove as easy to detect in the future. The creators of this particular Trojan used a small number of proxy servers running on infected computers owned by companies that were willing to work with Google.
Next time, might attackers decide to make each infected computer act as a proxy relay and have them use each other in a peer-to-peer-like fashion? Or they could host the proxy relays with so-called bulletproof hosting companies in Russia or China that ignore abuse requests.
Google would still be able to detect traffic coming from those IPs and display the warnings, but if attackers still control the proxies, they can modify the response pages and remove them in real time.
Ultimately, while this solution might sound like a good idea, it is probably limited to just a few situations. For now, spreading the word about these warnings, like Google's Cutts suggests, might not be the best idea, as it could provide enough incentive for scammers to spoof them. µ

The man on the left, Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren, is a very smart man. He led the team to the Stanley Cup Finals two seasons ago and has made his franchise a contender for the past three seasons (including this one).
This year started well. He had acquired the star goaltender that would end all the worries for the franchise in Ilya Bryzgalov, an aging super-sniper during the year in Jaromir Jagr and a gritty forward in Maxime Talbot.
He had replaced his major loss, Ville Leino, and the Flyers were slated to be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference easily.
Despite solid team play, the Flyers season hasn't gone completely according to plan. Jagr's and Chris Pronger's injuries, Bryzgalov's poor form (to be generous) and a recent drop in the performances of the fourth line, the Flyers found themselves looking for a hulking body for defensive insurance.
They got Nicklas Grossman from the Dallas Stars for a second- and a third-round pick in this upcoming draft.
This deal is great for the Flyers in many ways, but what does it mean for the league?

HEGRE-ART Profile:
Two bodies, one personality
Meet the identical twins, 22, from Florida, USA. These striking girls are two bodies but just one unique personality. So for the first time we have one profile for two models.
And what bodies. Not just tall, they tower above other models. In fact, they're the tallest models Petter Hegre has ever worked with. And while they may look like refined catwalk models, they're actually more likely to be chilling out with their feet up, munching peanut butter sandwiches.
Surprisingly, both the twins have difficulty holding on to boyfriends (so you still have a chance!). Their bond is so deep and strong it's hard for any man to come between them.
Coming from small town Florida, they were picked on as kids due to their remarkable bodies. But, united, nothing could touch them. They've grown into very playful, confident and sexually open women.
They share the same incredible looks, but also a bond that can only exist between twins. With these models, you really do get twice the pleasure.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: OSHA-05-327-DAL
Tue. March 1, 2005
Contact: Diana Petterson or Elizabeth Todd
Phone: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued citations to Valmont Coatings-Oklahoma Galvanizing in Claremore, Okla., and proposed penalties totaling $126,000 for safety and health violations which sent 18 employees to the hospital.
"If the employer would have taken the appropriate precautions to protect its employees, it is possible that this incident could have been avoided," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "This Administration is committed to using strong enforcement to protect the health and safety of America's workers. Fortunately, there was no loss of life."
Valmont Coatings-Oklahoma Galvanizing, a hot-dip galvanizing business, is owned by Valmont Industries Inc., headquartered in Omaha. Neb. The company employs more than 3000 workers, about 100 are located in Claremore. Following an inspection that began Aug. 31, OSHA cited the company for one alleged willful and eight alleged serious violations for exposing employees to sulfuric acid during a clean up spill from the rupture of a storage tank.
The alleged willful violation was issued for failing to provide personal protective equipment to employees who responded to the acid spill. A willful citation is issued by OSHA when an employer either knew that a condition constituted a violation or was aware that a hazardous condition existed and made no reasonable effort to correct it.
The alleged serious citations included failing to ensure that the premises were free from hazardous conditions such as exposure to concentrated sulfuric acid or being struck-by debris caused by the leakage and/or rupture of a storage tank operating under pressure; failing to develop and implement an emergency response plan; failing to assure the senior emergency response official took charge of the situation at the site when the spill occurred; and failing to train employees in emergency response operations. OSHA defines a serious violation as one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Valmont Industries has had numerous inspections in past years, one of which resulted in proposed penalties of $20,000 when an employee died in Valley, Neb., after being crushed by a stamper machine in July 1996. Violations involved machine guarding and control of hazardous energy.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with the Oklahoma City area office, or contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards can call OSHA's Oklahoma City area office at (405) 278-9560. Call OSHA's hotline at 1-800-321-6742 to report workplace accidents, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers. Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department (DOL) releases are accessible on the Internet at <http://www.dol.gov>. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request. Call (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755.

The Ohio Election Justice Campaign Announces
Quarantine That Machine!
Citizen Action To Take Back Our US Elections
If the voting machine you use, behaves in an illegal manner, it should
be treated as part of a crime scene. The theft of your vote is a crime by the voting machine & its vendors against YOU. Treat is as such.
What should I do, you ask?
If the touch screen voting machine you vote on in 2008, or at any time in the future, is behaving in a manner that appears illegal, it should be investigated.
What to look for, including but not limited to:
Vote Hopping – This is when you vote for a candidate or an issue, and your vote hops and goes to another candidate or issue on the screen. We are generally told it is a calibration problem. For the voter, this means you vote is not recorded for who or what you intended. You have been robbed.
Paper Tape records other than what you voted – Please take the time to read the paper tape when you vote. If you find that the tape prints something other than what you voted, remember…there are many problems with the machines counting our votes in secret. There is no way to verify that the machine counted your vote as you see it on the screen, nor as the paper tape reads. Yet, if there is a recount audit, the paper record is the voting record. Your vote will be counted as the paper trail reads at such an audit. The paper tape should read the same information as what you voted. If you wear glasses, bring them, some tapes are printed very light, and therefore are hard to read.
Take Action!
Tell the Poll Worker / Election Judge what happened. Let them know you want the voting machine pulled from use in the election. IMPORTANT! Do not harm or manipulate the machine. It needs to be in the "same condition" for any forensic investigation. Tell the poll worker not to manipulate the machine in an effort to correct the problem. The most important step of taking action is then filing a police report with local law enforcement to document this possible case of election fraud. The statistics later will document how widespread the problem is.
