text: Senate leadership questions House Speaker's actions on chemical spill bill By Dave Boucher January 30, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- State Senate leaders are concerned the House of Delegates might delay or split apart the bill crafted in response to the recent Elk River chemical spill.The bill, which calls for increased scrutiny of aboveground chemical storage facilities, passed a unanimous Senate on Tuesday. The House must now review and pass it before Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin can sign it into law.After receiving the bill from the Senate, House Speaker Tim Miley, D-Harrison, assigned three committees -- the Health and Human Resources, Judiciary and Finance committees -- to review and sign off on the bill before it can go before the full House for a vote.However, this so-called "triple reference" is often considered a kiss of death for legislation.Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, and Senate Majority Leader John Unger, D-Berkeley, said they were surprised to see it.Kessler said a triple reference is typically a "death knell" for a bill. Unger expressed similar concerns.Miley said he spoke Thursday with Kessler to assure him the House is committed to passing effective legislation. While Miley acknowledged the triple reference's traditional use, he said he's using it in this case to ensure a "thorough and deliberative review" of the measure."I don't play games," Miley said. "If there's a bill the House is not going to consider, we don't need to triple reference it to get the message out there we're not going to consider it."The House typically doesn't start working on Senate bills until much later in the session to meet internal legislative deadlines. The Legislature's rules require bills be passed by their house of origin by the 50th day of the legislative session, so the House and Senate usually focus on their own bills before moving on to those sent over by the other.Kessler said he would give Miley "the benefit of the doubt." Unger agreed and said he did not think Miley was trying to completely derail the bill.However, when the Senate received several bills passed by the House on Thursday, Kessler decided to triple reference two of them.Was it a reaction to Miley's decision?"Oh, I don't think so," Kessler said. "We just thought they needed a good, thorough review as well."As passed by the Senate, Senate Bill 373 creates guidelines regulating aboveground storage tanks. It also outlines a framework to increase emergency preparedness in the event a spill similar to the one that occurred Jan. 9 at Freedom Industries happens again.The bill is slated to go to the House Health and Human Resources Committee first, followed then by the Judiciary and Finance committees. "Our whole goal is to make sure we get out a good piece of legislation that is not a result of overreacting," Miley said. "Sometimes when you overreact, you do a couple of things: you miss and fail to address the areas of critical need, but sometimes you also over-regulate as well."Unger, who is the lead sponsor of the Senate bill, questioned whether Miley and the House had an appropriate sense of urgency. He said he welcomes productive changes and suggestions from the House, but thinks action is needed as soon as possible to prevent another spill."When a person walks in to the emergency room, and has a bullet wound and they're bleeding to death, you don't sit there and do a thorough review of 'How in the world did they get bleeding?'" Unger said."No, you treat the wound, you patch it up, you close that loophole -- then you start looking at the other aspects of it."We have a bullet wound here," Unger said. "It's bleeding. It's a definite, gaping hole in our system that we need to close quickly in order so that this doesn't happen again." Unger pointed to a recent move by the House to speed consideration of a bill that provides assistance to small businesses affected by the water outage. He said the House should be able to finish its work on the storage tank bill and pass it by the end of next week.That's unlikely to happen."I don't know that we will get it out as quickly as the Senate did," Miley said. Miley said the West Virginia Manufacturers Association has already spoken with him about some specific concerns they have with the Senate's proposal.Kessler said the manufacturers association, as well as the state coal association, support the Senate's bill.Miley said the manufacturers' concerns had to do with the wording in a specific portion of the bill."They felt like they didn't have time to sit down with senators on the Senate side to address their concerns because of the speed with which the Senate felt it had to get that bill out," Miley said.He said that doesn't mean the House will make any changes to this portion of the bill, but said it's something that might need to be discussed.The bill says any tank that remains in one spot for more than 60 days is not considered mobile. This part of the bill was added to make sure companies don't circumvent regulations on stationary storage tanks by parking tanker trucks on their property, Unger said.Rebecca Randolph, executive director of the manufacturers association, said there are still questions about how this part of the bill will be enforced.Acknowledging she spoke with Miley about it, she said the association just wants a better understanding of how this portion of the bill will work."I think it's an overstatement to say that we have an issue with the bill," Randolph said.There is still room to learn more about the bill and potentially suggest changes if needed, she said.However, House Health Committee Chairman Don Perdue, D-Wayne, said there's been talk of potentially larger changes to the measure."Essentially, we had the governor's bill first and then they took Senator Unger's bill and rolled it into that," Perdue said. "Now there's some discussion that it might be more appropriate to pull them apart again."Tomblin initially proposed a bill that addressed regulation of aboveground storage tanks. Unger and others in the Senate said they thought it was too narrow in scope, choosing instead to incorporate pieces of it into the Senate bill.Kessler said he had also heard there was discussion of a split. He said he didn't think that was a good idea."I'm afraid a delay unnecessarily would only continue to create anxiety in the public that the government's not doing anything and not taking the threat to our water supply seriously," Kessler said."I'm hopeful we don't get bogged down trying to find all the answers, because we're not going to find them all in this bill today," he said.Perdue said he is still reviewing the bill and wants to learn more before deciding whether a split is appropriate.House lawmakers won't take any action on the bill until after a public hearing on the matter. That hearing is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday in the House chamber.Miley and Perdue pointed out the Senate held no such hearing and said it would be a valuable way to hear what the public wants included in the measure.Other speakers are scheduled to present information on the matter to Perdue's committee before Monday's hearing. Perdue said the speakers will focus on the communication between government agencies in the event something threatens public health will be a focus."I think that's maybe the most important thing: trying to make sure the agencies that have...the greatest ability to impact the issue are able to be collaborative at every level," Perdue said."We're all well aware that prevention is by far our best ally," Perdue said. "And if that means we need to engage both (the state Department of Environmental Protection) and public health in a more profound way at the upstream end, that's the ultimate aim."Perdue said there's a chance the health committee -- if it thinks it has enough information -- could advance the bill Wednesday evening. But he emphasized that is not set in stone.Contact writer Dave Boucher at 304-348-4843 or email@example.com. Follow him at www.Twitter.com/Dave_Boucher1.

When it was over and Matias Boeker had joined the most exclusive club in collegiate tennis, the Georgia sophomore took it in stride.
"Bryan, O['Brien and now Boeker," he deadpanned.
Those are the three players -- Alex O'Brien (Stanford, 1992), Bob Bryan (Stanford, 1998), and now Boeker -- who have won collegiate tennis' Triple Crown, an NCAA championship in the team, singles and doubles tournaments.
Boeker, who played No. 1 singles Wednesday when the Bulldogs clinched the team title, completed the sweep Monday afternoon with wins in the NCAA singles and doubles finals.
"Unbelievable," he said, still barely breaking a smile. "It's just a great feeling. I never thought I could pull it off. I can't believe I feel this good physically. It's probably just all this adrenalin. In a couple of days, I'll probably be in the hospital getting IVs, but right now I feel great."
Boeker became the first NCAA singles champion from Georgia since Mikael Pernfors in 1985 by beating Virginia senior Brian Vahaly 6-2, 6-4 in a match that lasted just one hour, 20 minutes.

"It's a great honor to be in the same group as Pernfors," Boeker said. "It's a great feeling."
He clinched the triple crown by teaming with Travis Parrott to beat SMU's Jon Wallmark and Johan Brunstrom 6-4, 7-5 in the doubles final.
"It's so tough," Georgia coach Manuel Diaz said of the Triple Crown. "You see so many worthy candidates for something like this. You see so many great players in the team tournament with the opportunity to do this, but it's almost never done. It's more than just being the best tennis player in the field. I really knew in my heart at the beginning of the tournament that Mat was the best player in the field. Even though you think he is, there are so many factors that come into play."
Boeker, the No. 5 player in the country and the No. 3 seed in the singles tournament, mastered all of them and his opponents in the last 10 days. He lost just two sets in his 20 NCAA matches. His win over Vahaly was his 18th straight singles win and the 12th straight-set singles win in his last 13 matches. He finished the season 44-8 and didn't lose after March 18.
Vahaly, an Atlanta native who became the first player from the state of Georgia to reach the NCAA final since Al Parker in 1988, was the first Cavalier and fifth ACC player to reach the finals.
"This week has been a dream come true for me," said Vahaly, who was unseeded in this tournament despite being ranked No. 14 in the country.

"Growing up in the Atlanta area and to play in front of friends and family is something special. I have to give credit to Matias for a job well done."
Boeker's match against Vahaly looked like the rest of his matches throughout the singles tournament -- not very competitive. He lost just 33 games in the tournament and didn't come close to losing a set as no opponent won five games in any set.
"He takes a lot of chances," Vahaly said. "When his game is on like it has been this week, the chances he takes work."
Boeker said his main goals against Vahaly were to keep his emotions under control and keep the points short. Vahaly has a reputation as a grinder, and he said after the match his strategy was to keep Boeker on the court as long as possible.
"I just tried to keep the points short, tried to dictate the points," Boeker said.
Despite struggling to just a 61.7 percentage on his first serve, he was able to do that. Boeker started fast in the first set, breaking Vahaly's serve in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead. He seemed to smell blood from there and won the next game at love, winning two points on his serve and two from the net.
"He was pretty much in control from the beginning," Vahaly said. "When he's constantly putting pressure on you, it's hard to come up with the goods to beat him."
Boeker fell behind a break in the first game of the second set but got that break backin the fourth game and went on to break Vahaly in the eighth and 10th games of the set.
Boeker finished with 30 winners to Vahaly's 15 and had just 26 unforced errors compared to Vahaly's 32.
"He's been the player the whole championships," Vahaly said.
Vahaly said he will take two weeks off before beginning his pro career with a Futures tournament in Canada.
"I left collegiate tennis the way I wanted to," he said.

HERE'S the latest column from our allotment columnist Sean O'Dobhain, from Cwmbran
THE only seeds I sow direct on the plot these days are root crops that don't like being transplanted. Everything else I tend to raise in modules or pots for planting out when they are established. I've found this to be the most reliable method and it reduces losses. While a small greenhouse makes growing easier, windowsills and a homemade cold-frame will provide loads of plants for the allotment.
Even with a greenhouse, April is the time where growing space can be an issue for me. Brassicas sown last month are developing well; tomatoes are sitting in their individual pots; leeks are taking up room in a large tray and the first wave of salad crops are jostling for light. Added to this green mêlée are further modules containing a second batch of salads for successional cropping and a few trays of annual flowers for good measure.
Into this mix now appear some of the larger vegetable plants. April is the time to sow climbing beans, courgettes and winter squashes with heat indoors. However, it's important not to start them too early as they won't tolerate cold weather; these plants can develop into large monsters, taking over greenhouses and windowsills while waiting to be planted outside. If you want to sow direct then wait until mid-May.
I'll be sowing Blue Lake French beans (a climbing variety) and Scarlet Emperor runner beans. When placing in pots, sow the seeds with any 'scar' downward; the bean canes and plants will be set out next month. In the last week of April I'll be starting off a few courgette plants, four plants should be enough for an average family as they are prolific croppers.
I'm also sowing a couple of pumpkins for Halloween (Jack O'Lantern); some small stripy squash called Sweet Dumpling and a Butternut squash called Hunter F1, bred to ripen in the cooler British climate. Sow squash seeds in a warm place and on edge to help germination. These won't be planted on the allotment until late May if it's warm or more likely, early June.
From mid-April onward the main-crop potatoes can be planted out in their trenches. I'm trying the blight resistant Sarpo Mira for the first time this season in the hope that they will continue to grow on into the autumn so the tubers become larger. Another new crop for me are the curious Cucamelons; they are sown this month and will be transplanted into large pots and kept in the greenhouse. On the other hand, an old family favourite is sweet corn, I'm growing Swift F1 this season. If you want those sweet golden cobs, freshly picked from late August onward, then sow indoors now.
Allotment jobs for April:
• Thin out brassicas sown in modules last month. Continue to sow summer cabbage, broccoli, kohl rabi, cauliflowers and F1 Brussels Sprouts.
• Every few weeks earth up early potatoes and plant main crop varieties.
• If the ground is not too wet, directly sow root crops such as parsnips, carrots, turnips and beetroot. Peas and broad beans can continue to be sown too.
• Start off runner and French beans in pots along with sweet corn and squashes. Wait until the middle of next month to sow direct to the plot.
• A few raised lettuce can be planted out now but protect against slugs. Keep sowing salads, including spring onions, every three weeks for crops throughout the summer months.
• Keep onion sets weed free, they should be sprouting green leaves now.
• Keep up the digging and allotment preparation.

You're reviewing: Organic Coconut Deodorant

- Subtle and effective Review by Eva
This deodorant has a pleasant yet subtle fragrance, so it's not going to clash with your perfume. I find many natural deodorants can smell quite overpowering, but this one is perfect. It seems to be working well so far at stopping odor. I'll reserve a 5 star review until summer which will be the real test of it's efficiency.
(Posted on 20/09/17)
- Recommend giving it a go. Review by Jan
Have just ordered my 3rd bottle - really find it works well and smells nice without being overpowering. Recommend giving it a try.

- Love the scent, but it's far too sticky Review by Cassie
I LOVE the scent! Makes me think of a classic NZ summer. It works OK (not as well as other natural deodorants I've tried, but it stops most of the smell), but I can't get past the stickiness of it. When it goes on, it feels like a very thick oil, and all day long I am lifting my arms up because my armpits are sticking together (great visual, I know). My advice, if you are going to buy this, is to only put the smallest amount on to avoid SOME of the yucky feeling. It's not a deodorant that you can lather on. I do really love that it is 100% aluminium free, as apposed to most other natural deodorants that are only free of Aluminium Chlorohydrate!
(Posted on 24/02/17)
- Very pleased! Review by Natasha
Perfectly happy with this deodorant - works fine for me. The scent is pleasant and not overwhelming, so no clashing with perfume. Onto my second bottle now, it's my deodorant of choice.
(Posted on 21/08/16)
- Fantastic! Review by Julie
I like that it doesn't really have a much of a scent- doesn't clash with perfumes should you want to wear some. Also it really does stop unpleasant odors. Also it doesn't irritate my skin- which I've found other organic (and non organic) deodorants do. Really really good.
(Posted on 3/08/16)
- A natural deo that works Review by Georgia
One of the best natural deodorants I've used. The smell is different, but nice.
(Posted on 19/07/16)
- It does work! Review by Rachel
I like this deodorant because it really does work, it's the first non-aluminium one I've found that does. It's scent was surprising (not really deoderanty!) the first time I used it, but now it's fine, and inoffensive. Will buy again.
(Posted on 4/03/16)
- Bad smell Review by Rebecca
Works ok as a deoderant, can be a bit sticky. I just can't stand the smell.
(Posted on 28/02/16)
- Good for me but shortlived Review by Tania
I've used this for a few weeks and it worked well, but now I feel it's not quite doing the job.
(Posted on 25/02/16)
- great deodorant Review by Lynda
Have only purchased this recently and found it has been great over summer and definitely is pleasant smelling and helps when you get hot but doesn't stop you sweating.
Is the best i have tried and would definitely purchase again.

When Ryan Newman took the checkered flag last week at Martinsville Speedway, it was a big relief for the veteran driver.
It wasn't that Newman had finally won another race—he won last July at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and has three wins now in the past three seasons.
And it wasn't that he won early in the season, giving himself a leg up on the competition if he finds himself racing for a wild-card berth into the Chase.
It wasn't the fact that he finally won a race after watching teammate Tony Stewart win seven of the past 15, dating back to last year.
No, it was that Newman finally won at a track that had been his nemesis over the years.
Newman, who has 16 career victories, has always run well at the flat, half-mile short track, scoring seven top-five and 11 top-10 finishes in 21 races there. But he had never won, letting several races get away.
"There was a sense of relief there, but the emotion was, 'Man, we did it,' " Newman said during a national teleconference last week.
"I've tried so many times there, and I enjoy short-track racing. I enjoy Martinsville, and I didn't used to. So it made it more sweet for me than maybe another racetrack."
Newman, who ran in the top 10 throughout the race last Sunday, got a big break when Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Clint Bowyer all wrecked on a late restart. Newman, who was lined up fifth for the restart, bumped Bowyer from behind and then swept past the spinning cars to take the lead.
Thanks to the break—and some late pit strategy that gave him fresh tires—Newman finally collected a checkered flag and trophy that had eluded him for many years.
The Martinsville race that bugged Newman most came last spring, when he started second and ran up front all day, only to have trouble late in the race and finish 20th.
"We had a really good racecar and ended up breaking a part and losing the cylinder," he said. "Just not getting what we felt like we deserved.
"We had been so good there at times. I think the previous fall or spring, I think we ended up running fourth because we got booted out of the way. And that's why it was so sweet and nice to be on the flip side of the coin, and be able to go through those green-white-checkered (restarts) and get the victory. That was a true relief."
The win could be huge for Newman in his quest to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup for the second straight year and for the third time with Stewart-Haas Racing.
He is eighth in points after six races. If he falls out of the top 10, he could be in position to earn one of NASCAR's two wild cards that go to race winners.
That, too, is a big relief to Newman.
"It's big for us from a points standpoint because we gain an advantage in the points … to give us something to fall back on if we need to to make it into the Chase," he said.
"That is a sense of relief. But that relief doesn't get you anywhere when it comes to performance. It just gives you something to fall back on.
"So our job is still to go out there and win and make the effort to win each and every race and keep moving our way up into the points so we don't have to rely on the win."
The victory also was a relief for Newman's Stewart-Haas team, which watched Stewart win five races in the Chase last year to win the championship. Stewart then win two of the first five races to start this season.
"I was getting a little nervous for a while," crew chief Tony Gibson said. "It was nice to contribute on our side of it, and we know we can do it. The equipment is there and everything we need to do to win. We just have to put it in place and execute.
"We have struggled a little bit at that. We had 27 and a half great races last year and we failed in the Chase. We didn't run as good as we needed to run, and Stewart took off like a ball of fire.
"It was disappointing for us, and he's still on fire. It's disappointing because we know we have the same equipment and we know we should be winning those races, too. It puts pressure on us and makes us work harder and think, 'Why aren't we winning, and they are winning?'"
Gibson said the win at Martinsville puts that disappointment behind the team and puts it more on a par with Stewart's championship team.
"Hopefully we have helped ourselves," Gibson said. "We know we are working hard as a company to make sure both these cars are as close as we can get."
Newman, who joined Stewart's team in 2009 after an up-and-down career at Penske Racing, doesn't compare himself to his boss, the three-time champion.
He knows he can win at NASCAR's highest level when given the right opportunity.
"I don't look at it in that respect. I can't compare myself to the 14 or Tony Stewart or anybody else," Newman said. "All I know is I can go out there and do the best job that I physically, emotionally, and mentally can.
"If that gets us to victory lane, then it does. If it doesn't, we need to sit back and figure out how to be better. Comparing yourself doesn't get you anywhere."

You know those annoying emails you get from people pitching dumb ideas and products? We used to cast them aside, but some of these are SO bad, we had to share them. It's a segment we call "DumbassPitches" and today's is quite a doozy.
It's from Deb Bowen, who is "Nudism/Clothing Optional & Lifestyle Expert." Deb is also the PR Coordinator at Caliente Clothing Optional Resort. How exciting. A genuine naked person! Deb would like to address the misconceptions associated with nudism and answer questions for a curious public.
So, what questions can Deb answer?
Deb says that she can speak to a variety of issues. Including:
- What are some of the advantages of being a nudist?
- How popular is nudism and has it gained momentum over the years?
- Why do people initially begin the journey of being a nudist?
- Is the nudist lifestyle common among families with children or is primarily adults?
The last one seems particularly unnecessary. My shortcomings as a father have been well-documented, but I've never forced my children to get naked around a bunch of naked grownups.
If that's not enough for you, Deb is multi-talented. She reveals that she is also a "singer and performer." What kind of "performance" are we talking about?

Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. (NYSE: OEH, www.orient-express.com) (the "Company"), owners, part-owners or managers of 46 luxury hotel, restaurant, tourist train and river cruise properties operating in 22 countries, today announced its results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012. Total revenue was $128.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, down $1.1 million or 1% from $129.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Excluding Copacabana Palace, which was partially closed for renovation for the majority of the quarter, total revenue was up 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Revenue from owned hotels for the fourth quarter was $99.2 million, down $1.6 million or 2% from $100.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. On a same store basis, owned hotels RevPAR was flat in US dollars and down 1% in local currency. Excluding Copacabana Palace, same store RevPAR for the fourth quarter increased by 7% in US dollars and 6% in local currency. Trains & cruises revenue in the fourth quarter was $21.0 million, up 2% compared to $20.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was $19.6 million for the fourth quarter, down $0.7 million from $20.3 million in the prior-year period. The principal decrease was at Copacabana Palace, which was down $2.2 million as a result of the partial closure. Excluding the year-over-year decrease at Copacabana Palace, adjusted EBITDA would have been $1.5 million ahead of the prior-year quarter. This growth was led by Road To Mandalay and The Governor's Residence, both in Myanmar, which were up $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $9.4 million ($0.09 per common share) compared with a loss of $7.2 million ($0.07 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2011. "Despite difficult macro-economic conditions, we had a solid finish to the year," said John Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered adjusted EBITDA of $104.3 million and full-year RevPAR growth of 3% over 2011 in local currency terms, including RevPAR growth across all regions except South America, which was affected by the partial closure of Copacabana Palace. The growth in RevPAR reflects the inherent value of our unique and iconic assets and demonstrates the resilience in demand for our unrivalled luxury travel experiences. Importantly, excluding Copacabana Palace, full-year local currency RevPAR was up 6% over 2011. The renovation of Copacabana Palace, one of our premier properties, was completed in time for Rio de Janeiro's peak Christmas and New Year period, and positions us well to capitalize on Rio's growing international profile.

Three ch-ears for Tesco fundraisers
4:41pm Friday 4th July 2014
4:41pm Friday 4th July 2014
STUDENTS at Milford Haven Junior School will soon be enjoying some new headphones when they study, thanks to Tesco Milford Haven.
The store recently held a fundraising day on behalf off the school, with customers donating £200 to the cause.
Tesco staff then very generously dipped into their pockets to make a final total of £250.
To support this kind gesture, teacher Sonja Groves arranged for her year six class to sing a selection of songs inside the store while the fundraising was taking place.
Headteacher Lyn Rees said: "I would like to thank everyone who donated money to the school and Tesco Milford Haven for organising the fundraising."
Tesco Champion, Debbie Mills and her colleague Julie Hughes, visited Milford Haven Junior School during a Friday afternoon's singing practice session. They were delighted to listen to the children practising a variety of school songs and presented a cheque for £250 to a grateful Mr Rees.

CONCEICAO, Gleice Margarete de Souza; SALDIVA, Paulo Hilário Nascimento and SINGER, Julio da Motta. GLM and GAM model for analyzing the association between atmospheric pollution and morbidity-mortality markers: an introduction based on data from the city of São Paulo. Rev. bras. epidemiol. [online]. 2001, vol.4, n.3, pp.206-219. ISSN 1415-790X. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-790X2001000300007.
In this study, we have described and compared two classes of models - the Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and the Generalized Additive Models (GAM) _ which can be used to evaluate the association between atmospheric pollution and morbidity and mortality counts. We consider GAM as an alternative for modeling unspecific nonlinear relationships, and show that this class of models constitute a good option to represent both seasonality and the relation between the outcome and the meteorological variables. As an illustration, we evaluate the association between mortality in elderly people and air pollution in São Paulo, Brazil for the period ranging from 1994 to 1997. The two modeling classes have produced coherent results, but the most sophisticated models were more powerful to detect significant effects. Associations between mortality and the levels of CO, SO2 and, in to a lesser extent, PM10 were observed.

Underwear escapee recaptured by police after Japanese manhunt
An underwear escapee, jailed for attempted murder, has been recaptured by Japanese police after breaking out from a Hiroshima prison.
In the country's first prison break since 1989, Chinese convict Li Guolin was found hiding out near a primary school.
Wearing a heavy jacket and ski cap pulled down over his face, Guolin was reportedly carrying a knife when he was arrested.
The criminal, who is serving a 23-year sentence, is suspected of breaking into an apartment to steal clothes after jumping the five metre high prison walls in just his underwear.
Chief cabinet secretary Osamu Fujimura vowed tougher measures to keep inmates from breaking out.
'We apologise for causing serious safety concerns to the neighbours,' he said.
'We'll make sure that prisons and related institutions take steps so that they will never repeat the same mistake.'
Li – convicted for shooting at a police officer and stealing a squad car in 2005 – climbed an inside wall on the prison campus before clambering up scaffolding on the outer wall, which had its sensors turned off because it was being repaired.

Ask Brent Bozell about Tongues Untied, a documentary about gay black men that aired on public television in 1991, and you'll get a quick taste of why some conservatives are itching to pull the plug on the home of Big Bird and Barney.
"Here's a program on prime-time television," says Bozell, chairman of the right-wing Media Research Center in Alexandria, Va., "with the kind of visuals and language that would not find their way into a triple-X adult theater. You ever see it? Unbelievable! Unbelievable! It was all about the joys of anal sex, from blacks to blacks, and of oral sex — with all the visuals and the descriptive language possible. On prime-time television! Paid for by you and me!"
Bozell is outraged, but he's about to get revenge. Often treated by liberals as the Vatican City of the federal government — tiny, holy, and untouchable — but long reviled by conservatives,the Public Broadcasting Service is the target of a fierce bombardment by Newt Gingrich's budget-slashing Republican Congress. Gingrich himself has dubbed public broadcasting a "sandbox for the rich" and talks of "zeroing out" money for the 346 PBS stations.
On the flip side? The Big Bird Argument, which says draining money from PBS would cripple shows like Sesame Street and Barney & Friends, lone islands of ad-free programming for kids.
Yes, the folks who brought you The Civil War are caught in a war of their own, and the clashes are none too civil. Republicans insist the PBS fracas is a matter of priorities: The national budget is bloated — and a plum like PBS looks expendable. "We've got a tough job to balance the budget, and you just can't keep everything," reasons Craig Murphy, a spokesman for Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.). "PBS will be able to survive on private funds, through corporate sponsorship." Murphy's partly right: Public television gets only 14 percent of its budget from the government's Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
But the drama is about more than cash. After all, the $285.6 million doled out by CPB is a mere crumb of the $1.5 trillion national-budget pie. Deep down, this fight is about values: One side sees the Cookie Monster, the other sees the monstrous Tongues Untied. In the spirit of Sesame Street, here's a guide to the ABC's of the debate.
A. Everyone's got cable now, so we don't need PBS.
Back in 1967, the Johnson administration helped create PBS as a cultural oasis in the vast Sahara of network TV. Now, with the profusion of cable offerings such as Arts & Entertainment, Nickelodeon, and Bravo, many believe PBS has become about as necessary as a cup of sand. "If you look at the landscape today, with the superhighway taking off, there is no justification whatsoever for the taxpayer to pay for cultural programming," says Bozell.
The catch is that not everyone has cable. While major cities may be brimming with opera and animal shows, rural expanses of the country get most of their cultural programming from PBS. "It's the biggest irony in the world: For most of the places that don't have cable, public television is the only alternative to network TV," says Ric Burns, coproducer of The Civil War. "And the smallest stations will be the first to go."
A prime example is Texas' KCTF, a tiny outpost in Waco that gets 43 percent ($379,018) of its $883,858 budget from the federal government — and only about $120,000 from private donations and fund-raising. "If we lose that 43 percent," says station president Randy Ramey, "the impact most likely for us will be blackout." Ramey calls the Waco area "a very conservative, family-oriented county, and a lot of people complain about the violence and sex on commercial TV. An awful lot of folks really do value us."
Much of KCTF's mom-and-pop programming is stuff you might find in Mayberry: a learning program for a technical college, a show for senior citizens, a media lab for students at Baylor University. "I loathe the day that I have to get on public TV and tell children, mothers, and retired people that we might have to go off the air," says Ramey. "That will be one of the saddest experiences of my life."

New England's educational advantage: past successes and future prospects
Any enumeration of New England's competitive strengths is likely to include the high education levels of its work force. The growing availability of highly educated workers in the region has permitted the development of industries that make use of advanced skills and raised the average standard of living during the past several decades. This article investigates the sources of New England's educational advantage historically, examines recent trends in key determinants, and discusses prospects for the future. ; The author presents the basic facts on educational attainment in New England and the nation. She then uses a 20-year longitudinal survey to classify college graduates by region according to where they attended high school and college, showing that New England's high educational ranking is the result of sending a high share of its own schoolchildren to college and drawing college students from other locations. To the extent New England has faced growing challenges in maintaining its educational advantage during the past decade, the author finds, this is due to shrinkage in the number of bachelor's-level graduates at the region's colleges and universities, and to diminished success in drawing college-educated adults from outside the region.

Good Morning America to feature Tampa Bay mom trying to lose 100 pounds
Stacy Woltmann, the Tampa Bay area mom who has set her sights on losing 100 pounds, is scheduled to be featured tomorrow on Good Morning America. The interview -- set for the 8 a.m. hour on the Tampa ABC station WFTS-Ch. 28 -- will kick off a regular video diary series on Woltmann and her struggle to lose weight.
On Sept. 15, The St. Petersburg Times wrote about Woltmann, who decided to go on a diet after becoming a new mom. At age 30, Woltmann had reached 419 pounds and was a size 28.
She started a blog, Amelia's Mom...Race to the Skinny Jeans, to track her progress and keep her motivated to stick with her goal. Since then, Woltmann has lost 23 pounds. She's watching what she eats and working out regularly in a Tampa boot camp class, Kick It Up Boot Camp.
A Good Morning America crew spent the day with Woltmann on Thursday, and the show is slated to do a live interview from her home tomorrow morning via Skype. From then on, Woltmann will have a Good Morning America video camera to make a video diary -- recording her grocery shopping, workouts and time with her baby girl -- for regular updates on the morning show.
"I'm determined to stay focused; I really want this," Woltmann said. "And now my accountability is going national."

First Ever 'Paws-A-Tively' Best Dogs Walk Held in Lynchburg
Lynchburg, VA - It was a perfect day for the first ever Riverside Runners' "Paws-A-Tively" Best Dog Walk Saturday.

"This walk seemed like the perfect opportunity to get folks up and outside walking with their four-legged friends," added Sarah Williamson, an advocate for Riverside Runners.

JERUSALEM (Dec. 11)
Twenty-four of Palestine's most prominent Jewish leaders, including chief Rabbis Isaac Herzog and Jacob Meir, published an appeal to the British people today to open the gates of the holy land to Jewish immigration. it was understood the the Jewish National Council, at an executive session tomorrow, would recommend that the Jewish Agency boycott the Palestine conferences in London unless the British Government agreed that Palestine must assist in solving the tragedy of German Jewry at least in the same degree as other countries. Hebrew newspapers assailed the address by lord Dufferin and Ava in the house of Lords last week in which he announced that there would be no change in the Government's immigration policy until March, when the current schedule expires. They urged that the Jewish Agency reconsider its decision to participate in the London conferences.
Sporadic disorders continued, meanwhile, with two persons killed over the week-end. Erwin Brasch, 47, a converted German-Jewish official of Barclays' Bank here for the past 20 years, was found shot to death yesterday near his home on the Mt. of Olives. At Haifa, a Jewish cartdriver named Jona Shtoul, 40, of Poland, was shot dead by snipers near the center of the city. A British magistrate in Jaffa adjourned until Monday the case of four British policemen charged with the unjustifiable killing of an Arab.

Marilyn Monroe's famous white dress from The Seven Year Itch sold at a Beverly Hills auction this weekend for a whopping $5.6 million! That's almost three times the $2 million it was expected to fetch, CNN reports. It was the first in a series of auctions of actress Debbie Reynolds' massive Hollywood memorabilia collection, and Reynolds was in tears when the gavel sounded after 20 minutes of bidding drama. The identity of the buyer hasn't been revealed yet, although we do know that the mystery person bid over the phone. Tell us, what would you do with such an iconic dress?

Many homes, especially in the south, have beautiful front porches. These areas are perfect for relaxing with friends and neighbors, especially in the evenings when cool breezes waft across front gardens and rustle through the trees. But unless you implement some effective bird control measures, your beautiful front porch may be covered with disease-carrying bird droppings, nests and nesting materials. You'll also have to put up with birds zooming in on any snacks you may have placed on a table.
Without adequate bird deterrents, you'll have birds nesting on your front roof, in alcoves of your front porch and even in your gain gutters. As pretty as some birds are and as melodious as they sound, birds can become a nuisance around your front porch.
Yes, you can shoo them away, squirt them with a hose, or even try bird poisons, but these methods are typically ineffective and inhumane. The only solution is to use proven bird deterrents. Here are three bird deterrents the pros use most often on homes like yours:
Red-Tail Hawk Decoys
As decorative as they are effective, Red-Tail Hawk Decoys have been widely used to discourage many a pest bird from specific areas around a home. Hawks, you see, hunt during the day when most pest birds are active, so using hawk decoys is a better deterrent than owl decoys, which hunt at night when most birds are asleep. Opt for the most realistic looking decoy you can find. And make sure it's made of heavy duty plastic to stay real looking after several seasons outdoors. Finally, move the decoy around frequently to convince curious birds that the decoy is more than a dummy.
Plastic Bird Netting
To deter pest birds from specific areas of your front porch, you should use Plastic Bird Netting. This barrier bird deterrent can also be used to protect any fruit trees, bushes, and gardens around your front porch. Plastic netting usually comes in 14 x 100-foot and 14 x 200-foot rolls. Mesh sizes vary according to the specific bird you need to block out. You would use a 1/4-inch mesh for small birds like starlings, and perhaps a 3/4-inch mesh for crows. High quality plastic bird netting is made from durable, U.V.-protected polypropylene and comes with a 1-year guarantee. It's strong, light and virtually invisible. One manufacturer even offers handy clips for fast, easy installation.
Sonic Bird Deterrents
If you you have a large front porch area, Sonic Bird Deterrents are the way to go. They broadcast bird distress and predator calls that sound like normal bird activity to humans. So they won't annoy your pets, friends or neighbors. One highly versatile sonic system can emit distress and predator calls for as many as 22 different species of birds. It covers up to an acre and can be programmed to turn on or off at night.

HUDSON — A man stabbed during a fight over a $30 mattress ran from police because of an outstanding warrant — only to be found later hunched over and covered in blood, Pasco County deputies said.
Tony Harrell, 22, was taking out the trash at the Rivermill Apartments one night last month when he saw James Miller III, a 21-year-old he knew as "that Jimmy kid," Harrell's wife Cassandra told investigators.
The two had bad blood, Cassandra said. Miller had sold Harrell a $30 mattress just before Christmas. A week later, a woman came to their door and said the mattress was hers. The Harrells handed it over, but they wanted Miller to pay them back.
The men had begun to argue over the money, Harrell told police, when Miller stabbed a 4-inch switchblade into his lower back.
"Had enough?" Harrell recalled Miller asking. "I'll stab you again!"
Miller fled from near the complex's trash bins at Little Road and Cricket Street in a red Kia, deputies said. Harrell was helped to his apartment by a neighbor. Cassandra called 911.
But before deputies arrived, Harrell told Cassandra he feared arrest for violating probation on marijuana and oxycodone charges. He pushed past her and ran into the dark, deputies reported.
Minutes later, a sheriff's canine unit, Pete, tracked Harrell to below a wooden bridge near the apartments. He was doubled over on his hands and knees, his sweatshirt soaked in blood, with a look of "extreme pain," an investigator wrote.
Deputies at the scene found a small folding knife in Harrell's pocket, a blood-soaked rag and a plastic soda bottle filled with a "fairly large amount" of blood.
Harrell was flown to Bayfront Medical Center and, about a week later, arrested on a warrant. He remained in jail Wednesday in lieu of $1,000 bail.
Deputies encountered Miller during a traffic stop on Tuesday. He admitted to the struggle with Harrell, but he denied having a knife, instead saying Harrell fished the blade from his own pocket and stabbed himself in the back, a move hospital staff said seemed unlikely.
Miller was arrested Tuesday around 5:45 p.m. and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. He remains in jail in lieu of $10,300 bail.

NEW YORK - Spain may have been embarrassingly dethroned as World Cup holders, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are still champions at making money after they were named as the world's two richest sports franchises.
For the second successive year, Forbes business magazine tagged European champions Real Madrid, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, as the number one sports team with a value of $3.44 billion.
Barcelona, the home of Lionel Messi, Neymar and now the notorious Luis Suarez, are second in the chart with a current value of $3.2 billion, while English giants Manchester United are ranked at three at $2.81 billion despite their miserable season.
The only other football club in the top 10 are German champions Bayern Munich whose current value of $1.85 billion is good enough for seventh spot.

The rest of the top 10 is from Major League Baseball and the National Football League.
The New York Yankees are number four, valued at $2.5 billion with the Dallas Cowboys, worth $2.3 billion, holding the fifth place.
With 30 teams in the top 50, for the second consecutive year, the NFL occupies 60% of this year's list.
The average value of the top 50 teams is $1.34 billion, which is an 8% increase from last year, according to Forbes which has been rating the world's leading sports clubs since 1998.
The New York Mets were one of three teams that dropped off this year's list of the top 50 -- the other drop-offs include the Oakland Raiders in the NFL and McLaren in Formula 1.
Forbes top 10:
1. Real Madrid $3.44 billion, 2. Barcelona $3.2 billion, 3. Manchester United $2.81 billion, 4. New York Yankees $2.5 billion, 5. Dallas Cowboys $2.3 billion, 6. Los Angeles Dodgers $2.0 billion, 7. Bayern Munich $1.85 billion, 8. New England Patriots $1.8 billion, 9. Washington Redskins $1.7 billion, 10. New York Giants $1.55 billion.

Prehistoric snake gobbled-up dinosaur babies: "A fossilized snake has been discovered inside a titanosaur nest in India, leading researchers to conclude that the snake fed on newly-hatched dinosaur babies, rather than their eggs like modern snakes.
Paleontologist and snake expert Jason Head says that the snake, known as Sanajeh indicus, lacked the wipe-jaws needed to swallow eggs, but just-hatched baby titanosaurs would have been perfect prey for the 3.5 meter (nearly 12 feet) long serpent. Titanosaurs belong to the sauropods, long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs which includes the world's largest animals to ever walk the land."

ARSENAL bowed out of the Champions League despite a spirited 1-1 draw against holders Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena.
It was always going to be a tall order for Arsene Wenger's men after losing the first leg of their last-16 tie 2-0 in London last month. And so it proved, despite a resilient effort from the visitors, who equalised through Lukas Podolski having fallen behind to Bastian Schweinsteiger's close-range effort early in the second half.
There was late drama when Lukasz Fabianski saved a stoppage-time penalty from Thomas Mueller for what looked a soft decision for a challenge by Laurent Koscielny on Arjen Robben. "Bayern have weaknesses like any other team and when you score anyone can get nervous," said Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the Arsenal playmaker who produced an excellent performance.
Loading article content
"When we did that we thought we had a chance but we just couldn't do it. We lacked a bit of quality with the final ball. At the top level you need that. The boys put in a great shift but we can be proud of our efforts."
Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen returned to the starting XI after an injury to left-back Kieran Gibbs, while German pair Mesut Oezil and Podolski were both part of an attacking line-up. Bayern, runaway leaders of the Bundesliga, were looking to avoid a second consecutive defeat by the English side, who won 2-0 here last season to go out on away goals.
There was no place in the side for forward Toni Kroos or indeed Muller, both of whom had scored in London.
Bayern were soon on the offensive, while Arsenal looked to utilise counters through both Santi Cazorla and Oezil. Schweinsteiger drilled in a 20-yard effort, which was straight at Fabianski, standing in for Wojciech Szczesny, who had been sent off in the last game.
Arsenal were carved open as David Alaba darted down the left and fed Ribery, who chipped the ball to the back post, but Robben could not finish. German defender Per Mertesacker then slid in to block a dangerous centre from Alaba, who again had found space down the left channel.
Schweinsteiger halted a surging run from Oxlade-Chamberlain, revelling in a central role, as he charged in from the left towards the penalty arc. Cazorla's free kick looped off the wall and behind for a corner, from which Olivier Giroud tested Manuel Neuer with a bullet header.
Koscielny, who missed Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final win over Everton because of a hamstring problem, hacked away Robben's goalbound effort after more home pressure.
Bayern continued to dominate possession, with Thiago at the centre of the action. Mario Goetze drilled in a low effort from 20 yards which Fabianski held at the second attempt.
Wenger made a change for the start of the second half, as Oezil, who again largely under-performed on another big stage, was replaced by Tomas Rosicky. Robben - who was fouled by Szczesny which saw the Poland keeper sent off at Emirates Stadium - took a tumble in the penalty area under a challenge from Cazorla. This time, though, Norway referee Svein Oddvar Moen was not interested and told the Dutchman to get up.
Bayern were ahead on 55 minutes when Ribery got away down the left and cut the ball back into the penalty area, where Schweinsteiger arrived ahead of Cazorla to slot past Fabianski. Arsenal, though, gave a swift response when Podolski shrugged off Bayern captain and Germany team-mate Philipp Lahm on the right side of the penalty area, before darting goalwards and thumping his shot past Neuer at the near post. The away goal galvanised the visitors, as Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cazorla continued to see plenty of the ball in the centre. Wenger went for broke as he sent on 18-year-old German Serge Gnabry, replacing defensive midfielder Mikel Arteta. Bayern, though, weathered the storm and closed in on the quarter-finals.
Defeat would have been harsh on Arsenal, but it looked to be heading that way when Koscielny was adjudged to have pushed over Robben. Substitute Mueller stepped up to take the spot kick, which Fabianski saved with his legs and then scrambled to push away from the lunging Mueller with the ball spinning invitingly on the goalline.

State won't rush comment on new CO2 rulesJun 19, 2014 By Mead Gruver, The Associated Press
CHEYENNE -- The federal government began taking comments Wednesday on proposed rules to cut carbon dioxide emissions. But Wyoming officials aren't rushing ahead to formally weigh in just yet.
Gov. Matt Mead said his staff and other state officials continue to study the more than 650 pages of proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules released earlier this month.
The EPA comment period continues through Oct. 16. Eventually, the governor's office, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality and the Wyoming Public Service Commission will submit comments, Mead spokesman Renny MacKay said.
Just not right away.
"Our first take was this doesn't look good. But we want to analyze it, and we want to have our comments very targeted," Mead said at a news conference Wednesday. "We don't disagree there needs to be rules and regulations. It's our definition of what are reasonable rules and regulations and is it going to get us to where we want to go?"
Wyoming is the top coal-producing state, and the vast surface mines in the Powder River Basin supply close to 40 percent of the nation's coal. Meanwhile, close to 90 percent of all electricity generated in Wyoming comes from coal-fired power plants.
The coal-fired power helps to make Wyoming No. 1 for CO2 emissions per person, although around two-thirds of electricity generated in Wyoming goes to other states.
Far more government funding goes to renewable energy research than finding ways to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, Mead pointed out.
Meanwhile, he said, the EPA proposes CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants far below the levels emitted by the most up-to-date plants in Wyoming. "All of these things collectively certainly look to us like coal is being targeted, to the detriment of Wyoming but even more importantly to the detriment of the United States," Mead said.
So far, Mead has been more reserved about criticizing the rules than Wyoming's congressional representatives, who pledge to work to block them. Not that Mead's office has refrained from confronting the EPA: Wyoming is involved in almost a dozen lawsuits against the agency on natural resource issues.
Mead said it's unfortunate states and the federal government can't work together better rather than having disputes between them play out in federal court.

William Foster
NISKAYUNA -- William E. Foster, formerly of Niskayuna, passed away peacefully at home Thursday, January 28, 2010.
William was born December 4, 1926, in Bennington, Vt. to the late Frank E. Foster and Nina Cadoret Foster. While he was still an infant, his mother died. In 1930, his father married Agnes White Foster.
Bill was the devoted husband of Mary Emmet Foster, a high school classmate whom he married on August 20, 1950. They recently celebrated 59 years together.
Bill graduated from Walter A. Wood High School in Hoosick Falls in June, 1944 and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was honorably discharged as a Mineman 3rd Class in 1946.
He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1951 with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
Upon graduation, he joined the General Electric Company in its Test Engineering training program. After several product test assignments in a number of departments, he joined the newly formed Manufacturing Training Program. After three years of evening study and work assignments in manufacturing, he joined the Value Analysis unit in the Large Steam Turbine-Generator Department.
Bill's career with GE included positions in the turbine, radio, transformer, television, plant facilities and foundry businesses. Hs assignments included unit manager in the radio manufacturing factory, purchasing agent for the Erie Foundry and contracting agent in the Power Systems Purchasing function. He retired in 1986.
Bill loved the out-of-doors. When his sons were young, he encouraged them to take part in Boy Scout activities and for several years he served as cub master and scout master. Although family and work demands prevented him from staying active in the scouting program, he never lost interest.
Work out-of-doors kept him busy many evenings and weekends. Cultivating a small vegetable garden, tending the flowers, keeping the lawn and shrubs in good shape were all tasks that he really enjoyed.
He had projects going in the cellar year round. Repairing, cleaning and refinishing anything made of wood gave him much satisfaction. The piece did not have to be an antique (although that was a plus). To him, the fun was in the fixing and the smile of the owner when the job was finished.
He also spent time as a Literacy Volunteer. Another love was fishing. There were years when opportunity to fish was pretty much limited to one week each summer. But when he retired, one day a week was set aside for trout fishing and specifically fly fishing on the Battenkill.
Coupled with the fishing during the one-day-a-week trips were visits to old and new friends. Bill enjoyed talking to anyone he met. He visited old friends from periods throughout his life. He often stopped to talk to other fishermen, people walking along a country road or someone just sitting in the shade next to his or her home. He enjoyed their stories and he enjoyed learning a little about their lives.
Bill was a devoted and loving father. In addition to his wife, Mary, Bill is survived by their five sons and spouses: Timothy Edward and Ellen of Villanova, PA; Mark Emmet and Penelope of Glenville, NY; Frank Matthew and fiance Rose McCurry of Whitesboro, NY; Robert William and Kathryn of Lakeville, MN, and Michael John and Naiyre of Kinnelon, NJ.
Also surviving are nine grandchildren and two great grand children: Joshua, James, William, Eric, Amanda, Michael, Mary, Anna, Patrick, Izayah and Ivalyss Foster. Also surviving are six nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his stepmother, Agnes and his brother Richard (Tink).
