The All Star FM2000 Umpire Face Mask is a facemask specifically designed with umpires in mind. To increase the protection, comfort, and fit, the top bar of the cage is curved to allow more padding to come into contact with an umpire's forehead. This design also makes it impossible for the top part of the cage to come into contact with the umpire durring ball impacts. This All Star Umpire Mask comes with LUC style padding which is lightweight, moisture wicking, and machine washable. and is a single bar facemask designed and tested to be just as strong as All Star's FM25 Cage.

Police arrested a man after he allegedly pointed a gun at his roommate early Monday morning. According to Mesa police, Jeremy Lamont Bell was at his apartment near 4600 block of East Caballero Street when he got into a physical confrontation with one of his roommates. Bell allegedly went to his bedroom, pulled out a gun and pointed it at the roommate he was fighting with. Witnesses tell police that Bell was upset because he thinks his boyfriend, who is another one of his roommates, has been cheating on him. Officers and the Mesa Air Unit surrounded the apartment and Bell was contacted on the phone. After a few minutes, police say Bell gave himself up and complied with officers. Bell allegedly admitted to pointing a gun at his roommate, but said it was in self-defense. Police say Bell isn't allowed to possess a firearm because of a prior felony conviction. Bell was arrested and faces charges of aggravated assault, disorderly conduct with a weapon, prohibited possession of a firearm and assault.

Matt Prater has been an integral piece behind the Broncos' 3-0 start, and the rest of the league has taken notice.
Prater will be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September, the Broncos were informed on Wednesday. It is the first such award of his NFL career, and marks the first time since October 2005 (punter Todd Sauerbrun) that a Bronco has won the award.
Prater's recognition is also only the fourth time a Denver player has received the nomination since it was initiated by the NFL in 1993.
Prater was near perfect on his September field goals, making 7-of-9 attempts, including all three of kicks from 40 or more yards. Only three other AFC kickers made all their kicks from that distance, and Prater was also a perfect 5 of 5 on extra point attempts.
Beyond putting points on the board, Prater helped set the tone in the field position game for the Broncos No. 1 defense. He booted 13-of-15 September kickoffs into the end zone, with seven going for touchbacks. With those kicks, the Broncos lead the AFC in lowest average opponent starting position (20.6-yd. line) and total defense (214.7 yds. per game)
In his 36 career NFL starts, Kyle Orton has accrued 24 wins.
That success comes from knowing when to make the right plays at the right time.
"It's tough to win games if you beat yourself," Orton said. "That's really my approach going into every game."
Orton has held up that approach on the field, going interception-free in his last 126 pass attempts. That streak is topped only by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has been clean on his last 158 throws.
The commitment to mistake-free football has done little to inhibit Orton from making big plays when necessary. Of his 49 completions this season, seven have gone for 25 or more yards. Only Peyton Manning (9), Philip Rivers (9) and Eli Manning (8) have generated more long-range plays.
To Orton, smart football includes taking risks.
"It's certainly not a style of play where you're scared to take chances or scared to take shots," Orton said. "It's just knowing the right time to do them.
Finding that right time has been aided by two factors this season: an offensive line giving him time to throw and a slew of running backs setting up the pass.
With those in hand, the process of not beating himself has been close to seamless
"You certainly don't have to get the ball out so quick and when the run game gets going, that's a quarterback's best friend," Orton said. "It's kind of twofold. When they can get the run game going and also protect so well, it makes it pretty easy on myself."
Here are some more photos from the onset of Wednesday's practice.

Alumni Interviews
Theresa Myers taught Kindergarten in Louisiana and is currently teaching environmental science in Oregon. In her free time, she likes to travel, run, and cook. When she grows up, she's going to be a doctor.
GO: Why did you decide to volunteer with Lead Adventures in Ecuador?
Theresa: I wanted to spend the summer volunteering abroad in a Spanish-speaking country, and spent quite a while looking at a variety of different programs. As a former teacher, I was excited about the opportunity to teach in a public school - I got to work in an area I had experience and experience the Ecuadorian education system. I also really wanted to live with a host family, both for the extended language practice and to really experience day-to-day life. Lead Adventures fit all my practical criteria (time frame, reasonable price) and offered a unique, exciting opportunity.
GO: Describe your day to day activities as a volunteer.
Theresa: I spent the mornings teaching English at a public elementary school. I taught 6 classes every day, for 30 minutes to an hour each. My students had books, but I was given a huge amount of leeway in designing lessons that I thought would be most productive. School was out at 12:30, and I'd have lunch with my host mom and other volunteers. I spend afternoons at my mom's office planning lessons for the next day, emailing my family in the US, and talking to people. My mom and I would head home together at 5, and I normally spent evenings with my host family. I spent most weekends with my family as well, traveling around the area or just running errands. I also did some traveling with friends.
GO: What made this experience unique and special?
Theresa: My host family. I stayed with a wonderful family that really embraced me. Mostly because of them, I really felt like I was living in Ecuador, not just visiting for a long time. I was lucky enough to have host siblings near my age to go out with, parents that would spend hours talking to me about history and politics, and grandparents to teach me to make empanadas. I still keep in touch with them.
GO: How has this experience impacted your future?
Theresa: My Spanish is certainly much, much better than it was before, and I hope to continue to use it in my professional life. I'm teaching English as a foreign language again, this time for adults. I still talk to my family and friends from Ecuador, and hope to go back to visit at some point.
GO: Why did you decide to volunteer with Lead-Adventures in Ecuador?
Amy: I decided I wanted to volunteer in Latin America and contacted All Access Volunteers (based in Vancouver) and Lead-Adventures in Ecuador was one of the affiliates of the organization. The Quito Dump Daycare program jumped out at me! I really liked the idea of working with underprivileged children who come from supportive families. There are many programs that support orphans and I thought this program was different and focused on helping families and not just children.
GO: Describe your day to day activities as a volunteer.
Amy: Days would start around 9am, when the children start to filter in. Sometimes you would see the children and their parents at the bus loop. It was nice to see them outside of the daycare setting. The parents were friendly and seemed to really appreciate the help of volunteers. At 10am every day all the children are fed a protein drink made fresh by the cook, Kathy. I often helped with the youngest children during feeding times. After the morning milk session the children broke off into 3 groups. There was 1 teacher and 2 helpers and each would watch over one of the groups. Those under 2 years of age would play with toys. The 2-3 year olds would play with blocks, cars and dolls. The older children (aged 3 and above) were taught letters, numbers, colors, animals, etc - just like a normal kindergarten classroom.
Every day the cook would make a fresh hearty soup and rice dish for lunch. This is a time when volunteers are extremely valuable. The youngest children need help being fed and the older children generally make a delicious mess! After helping feed the kids the volunteers help clean-up. The older kids then go outside to brush their teeth. The daycare is really good about promoting good hygiene.
After lunch the younger children go down for naps and we take the older children up to the playground or they watch a movie. On Fridays they'll play music and let the kids dance around. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen!!! If the children have older siblings they'll either come pick them up around 2pm or stay at the daycare center with them.
There's a mobile medical clinic that runs every Tuesday & Friday mornings. It's run by an American couple. If you have a medical background often they'll ask for your assistance.
GO: How has this experience impacted your future?
Amy: I've always wanted to volunteer in South America and I think a 2-week experience at the Quito Dump Daycare was perfect for me. The staff were great and the children were beautiful. If you're comfortable around children this is an excellent placement. I'm a nurse and I found myself really interested in the services provided by the medical clinic. If you have a background in education I think you would be very interested in what the children are taught. I was told that since the Quito Daycare Dump has been in place (7 years) there's been a 100% success rate of the children moving on to Kindergarten. I think that fact shows that a tiny daycare center can make a huge impact on the lives of children. As I've become very attached to the children at the daycare I'm very curious to see what they'll be doing in 10 or 20 years' time!
Further Info
About Lead-Adventures
The people who run our 30 different volunteer programs throughout South America are passionate about Ecuador. They are specialists. LEAD Adventures does not believe agencies can offer people an authentic experience of a place unless they really know it themselves.
That is why LEAD chooses to focus all their attention on a small number of places. We do not do experiences of the world; we do experiences of South America and we do them very well.
So far we have given over 3000 people just like you an adventure in South America that they will never forget.
We can build you a custom made experience that gives you a unique opportunity to live and work in a local South American community making a real difference to people's lives and the environment. Live with like minded volunteers, quickly make new friends and experience Ecuador as it really is.

Spain will outlast the EU
They are cutting the corn in Old Castile. From one day to the next, the aspect of the country changes utterly. The light somehow alters. You seem to glide across a green-gold ocean, broken only by the silhouettes of church towers on distant hills and, nowadays, the occasional wind farm.
This is, for me, the most Spanish part of Spain, stately and austere. The accent is purer here than anywhere except perhaps Colombia. Beyond the wheatlands are hills dotted with gnarled and dwarfish cork oaks. The towns are old, fortified and sparse, their inhabitants immaculately courteous.
When will the Euro-fanatics get it through their heads that it is precisely because we like other countries that we value their independence and cheer their patriotism? If we all did the same thing (or "acted in solidarity" as Eurocrats prefer to put it), there would be no pleasure in travel. I have just participated in a tienta at the ganaderÃa of Ramón Flores (of Atanasio caste). I realise that few people outside Spain will have the slightest idea of what I'm talking about, which makes my point: when nations and cultures differ, it is wrong to merge their polities.
Spaniards are as much a maritime as a continental people. They talk, as we do, of "going to Europe". Their newspapers are full of stories that are ignored elsewhere in the EU (although not always by this blog): the autonomist referendums shaking Bolivia, the protests against the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. A poll in one paper asked readers to name the foreign leaders they most liked and those they most disliked. Both lists were dominated by Latin Americans: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil and Michelle Bachelet of Chile were the most popular; Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and Fidel Castro of Cuba the least.
Alright, there is a little more Euro-sentimentalism in Spain than in Britain; but not much. As in Ireland, Spaniards knew that Brussels was a handy source of funds and, being a polite people, they didn't wish to seem ungrateful. But, again as in Ireland, the money is drying up, and it is far from clear that a new referendum would replicate the big "Yes" vote of three years ago. Take away the economics, and there is remarkably little European feeling. The EU will come and go. Its nations will endure.

Hadronic Parity Violation in Effective Field Theory
Matthias Schindler,
University of South Carolina
Tuesday, February 12, 11:00 AM - Theory Seminar
NSCL Seminar Room
The weak interaction between quarks induces a parity-violating component in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Due to the nonperturbative nature of QCD at low energies, a detailed understanding of how the weak quark-quark interactions manifest themselves in the forces between nucleons remains elusive. Experiments in two-, three-, and few-nucleon systems (including photons) are being performed to map out this weak component of the nuclear force. A theoretical program to analyze and interpret the obtained data based on effective field theory will be presented. This approach provides a systematic and model-independent description of two- and few-nucleon observables. Results for parity-violating observables in the two- and three-nucleon sectors will be presented, including a discussion of the relevance of parity-violating three-nucleon interactions.

Stern going for gold - again
Published on Wed, Jul 15, 2009 by
Michael Dashiell

Nothing, it seems, was going to keep Sequim's Lenora Stern from this year's National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
Not distance, not the time away from home, not even the multiple sclerosis that's doing its best to damage her brain and spinal cord, muscles, vision, speech and more.
"I want to see the other athletes," says Stern, 73, "that are far worse off than I am really get excited about something in their lives other than just sitting in a wheelchair. That, and the camaraderie."
The Sequim veteran is a 13-time games gold medalist, the lone non-gold finish (she took silver) was in ramp-assisted bowling in 2007.
That year, in Milwaukee, Wis., Stern took gold in table tennis, air guns (quad with assistance) and the power chair 200, an event much like a track & field 200-meter race only with power wheelchairs.
Last year, however, a medical test kept Stern from attending the games that were held in Omaha, Neb.
"I was really disappointed I couldn't go last year," she says.
This year, it's closer to home as Spokane hosts the 29th-annual event in venues across the city.
That's where Stern is this week, with the opening ceremonies taking place Monday and the final events and closing ceremonies set for July 18.
The Department of Veterans Affairs and Paralyzed Veterans of America host these games, the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world for military veterans who are wheelchair athletes. Veterans participating in the Wheelchair Games have served in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom, the Gulf War, Vietnam, Korea and even World War II.
The 17 events in 2009 include basketball, swimming, hand cycling and softball.
Stern, just as in 2007, is competing in four events. She's entered in bowling, air gun (assisted), the power chair 200 and the motor rally, a 10-station challenge that has competitors answering trivia questions and collecting playing cards at each interval.
This event, organizers say, is designed to encourage veterans to maintain healthy and active lifestyles despite challenges they may face.
More importantly, Stern says, the games get veterans into the system of networking with other veterans and making sure they get the benefits and medical assistance they need.
Stern is part of a Northwest team that includes athletes from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. With nearly 30 athletes on the squad, and 11 of those rookies, Stern says she's excited for this year's games.
This is Stern's fifth National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
Stern joined the United States Navy at age 19, serving at bases in Maryland and Texas. She worked as a dental assistant in the Navy, then transistioned into a position with the Clallam County Sheriff's Department before health problems encouraged her retirement.
One bad spell with multiple sclerosis left her blind for two days.
The disease didn't stop Stern from having a family, however; she had five healthy children and now boasts of her 16 grandchildren.

What are the
National Veterans Wheelchair Games?
The games are a multi-event sports and rehabilitation program for military service veterans who use wheelchairs for sports competition due to spinal cord injuries, amputations or certain neurological problems.
With more than 600 athletes participating in Spokane this year, the National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world. It began in 1981 with fewer than 100 athletes.
Competitive events at the Wheelchair Games include swimming, table tennis, weightlifting, archery, air guns, basketball, softball, quad rugby, bowling, hand cycling, wheelchair slalom, power soccer, a motorized wheelchair rally and track and field.
Athletes compete in all events against others with similar athletic ability, competitive experience or age. A power chair relay was offered as an exhibition event this year.
Athletes compete within three divisions: Masters (over age 40), Novice (first-time competitors in the games), and Open (all others, or those who chose to compete in this category).
They also compete within classes according to the level of their physical ability, with three quadriplegic-level classes (IA, IB, and IC), and four paraplegic-level or amputee classes (II, III, IV, and V).
Sponsors include the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Paralyzed Veterans of America, plus financial assistance from corporate, civic and veterans service organizations.

Yup, It's fine that you ask questions here, about free flight and Ruby, but people were staring to reply to your replies, and that takes it a step further off topic. Case in point, post #96 above by ringo.
We have many encounters with hawks, they seem uninterested in Ruby. We flew near 5 golden eagles who were too busy circling and searching the ground for rodents I guess. It doesn't look like I posted about that here. I think I talked about it on the free flight list though. It was In August it think. Before we got chased out of our location by forest authority.
So sorry to get thing off track

Comments about Bookcase Multi Media Tower - Triple - by Venture Horizon - 2403-21BL:
I love how much this holds, but it was difficult to put together. I would also recommend securing it to the wall by screwing it into a stud. The shelves are not as sturdy as I would like, they do bend under the weight of dvds, but it looks attractive all filled up.
Only shorter one I could find.
By Barry
from Las Vegas, NV
It is a decent product. But as I said it was the only model I could find anywhere with a large capacity that wasn't a tall bookshelf model. So it definitely fulfills what I wanted it to do. I bought two as a matter of fact.
Plusses and minuses
By Whaledad
from Spring, TX
It shows nicely on the picture, but the construction of this item leaves much to be desired. The shelves are extremely thin. The construction holes of the backplanes are inaccurate. The packaging is such that the top shelve arrived damaged. I got sent a replacement shelve twice. Even the last one was damaged, but I decided to just leave it at that. I was tired of waiting and needed to set it up.
Service and delivery comments:
Stacks and Stacks provided excellent services (on top of good pricing) by resending the top shelve twice. That it arrived damaged twice is not their fault but due to shoddy packaging by the manufacturer.

Video transcript provided by Newsy.com
We've compiled a list of the three most curious animals making headlines this week.
Let's start with a spotted feline. This curious kitty found what it thought was a cat toy — or maybe even catnip? (Via WHBQ)
"The cheetah starts sniffing the suspicious device, and then he licks it. The tour guide says he left the camera in the African wilderness on purpose to catch moments like this. How cute is that?" (Via Fox News)
That's definitely adorable. Eventually the big cat walked away. Good thing that in this case, curiousity did not kill the cat.
Our second spot goes to a deer that led itself into a grocery store. Maybe it was looking for a fawn-due pot? (Via WGNO)
"See the 10-point buck go through the front door, then watch there on the left as he runs through the produce section, then he runs through the bathrooms. Cameras didn't catch it, but the deer walked into the back of a liquor truck." (Via HLN)
The kind workers took the deer to the woods, where it was safely set free. Maybe nature called and the deer just really, really had to use the restroom. (Via WKRN)
And for our top curious pick of the week ... drum roll, please ... an elk was a little too eager to try out a trampoline. (Via WCAX)
"A group of young elk wandered into the backyard that had an enclosed trampoline. One elk hopped aboard to have some fun and then needed a little help from its friends to get around the safety net." (Via NBC)
The elk safely found something else to play with in a different neck of the woods after that. Make sure to tune in next week for our next top-three pick!

How marketers measure email is changing and will continue to change.
Where we used to look at open and click rates, today we are putting in place plans to measure email lifetime value. So what is going on?
I was reviewing results from a split creative test on a basket abandonment email recently (names removed to protect the successful) and it struck me how the methodology for measuring email results can, quite erroneously, determine how we use email marketing and develop marketing strategies.
So I thought I would combine the results here with my recommendations on how to measure email marketing.
The Past
Viewed from the vantage point of today, the past always looks more simple than today. And looking back on where email marketing has come from is no different.
There was a time (although it concerns me that some marketers are still trapped in a time warp of costly proportions) when opens and clicks were the currency that email was measured in.
Apply this to my scenario:
Template A |
Template B |
Overall |
Total Sent |
1,885 |
1,961 |
3,846 |
Open Rate |
41.5% |
43% |
42.12% |
Click Rate |
28.2% |
30.1% |
29.19% |
Clearly, reviewing this campaign based on past criteria (known today as 'old-school blinkered view on opens and clicks') would have led the marketer to choose Template B as the most successful and therefore the one to proceed with. But hold that thought.
There is a common agreement that email open rates are going to decline, if they are not already. Direct mail watched a constant decline of response rates from about 1998 onwards.
Email is going to suffer a similar gradual decline but not for reasons of disenchantment with the media, as was the case for direct mail, but instead because individuals, as they become more accepting of email in general, sign up to receive emails from more and more organisations and competition for attention in the inbox increases.
But this does not mean that income from email will fall…
I would paint the current situation as a 3D world superceding the 2D. Most email marketers discount opens and clicks as merely a 2D measure in a revenue focussed 3D world.
The 3D slant is effectively attribution of income. You cannot assess a channel without direct results for that channel and cannot invest effectively without accurate historical results.
One could also develop this analysis to fully incorporate indirect media attribution analysis that provides marketers with not only the direct income results by channel but the overall effect of marketing investment one channel has on another… sometimes referred to as the 'Halo Effect'.
But that is not for now. Instead, look at the revenue results for the different templates.
Template A |
Template B |
Overall |
Total Sent |
1,885 |
1,961 |
3,846 |
Open Rate |
41.5% |
43% |
42.12% |
Click Rate |
28.2% |
30.1% |
29.19% |
Orders |
112 |
94 |
206 |
Revenue |
£1,763.56 |
£1,592.86 |
£3,356.42 |
£15.75 |
£16.94 |
£16.29 |
Conversion (Click to order) |
50.9% |
37.15% |

Therefore, the choice of Template B as defined by the criteria of the past is seen to have cost this business 20% of all orders. The previous methodology ignored click to order conversion, far higher from Template A.
The focus today is very much on income and conversion rates underpinned with a growing focus of loyalty and eCRM managed through the email channel. It still amazes me when we meet with an organisation that does not have proper attribution.
Strategic planning also has one more key measure: Cost per order. Email is a growing channel with, in general, static direct costs.
As I argued in my previous blog, organisations should be searching for the tipping point at which these changes push email to the lowest CPO of all channels, below PPC and Affiliates, opening up the opportunity for disproportionate investment in email as the most cost effective channel.
The future
In short, what I am arguing here is if used correctly, email can be the CRM tool of the future and not simply a tool for generating income.
An opt-in list is a list of individuals who have said to you 'yes, send me stuff and talk to me'. Think about how valuable that is. Never before have marketers had consent to sell to people!
So, as email develops as a CRM tool, then so Lifetime Value (LTV) measures must rise as a primary measurement.
In the example below, taken from a live analysis, similar brands are compared to show that, on an annually calculated basis, the LTV of one brand's email marketing is clearly suboptimal and an opportunity of at least £1/2m presents itself.
Database Size |
Total Income last 12 months |
Average Income per Email Address |
Total Number of Orders |
Average No. of Orders per Email Address |
Brand A |
241,099 |
1,059,504 |

0.022 |
Brand B |
95,182 |
590,623 |
£6.21 |
3500 |
0.037 |
Before you all comment on the limited nature of the LTV in the analysis above, this is, in my experience, where it starts, looking at the value of a customer on your database.
Once you start to do that, then the challenge is no longer to increase your open rates, it is to grow lifetime value.
That, as they say, is a whole new ball game.

Turkey's Kurdish Question by Henri J. Barkey, by Graham E. Fuller
Why would anyone want to go to the cinema to watch the frail outgrowth of the future suffocated under the weight of the past?
Turkey's political crisis pits two groups against each other that are entrenched in virtually all administrative and commercial areas of Turkish life.
Exactly two years have passed since the self-immolation of a fruit-seller in a depressed provincial town spurred Tunisians to topple their authoritarian president. But the mood on the anniversary of that richly symbolic martyrdom is somber, even defeatist. To many Tunisians, the goals that animated the revolution no longer seem within reach.
The world has changed a great deal since the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003–thanks in part to that invasion and to the earlier invasion of Afghanistan. And yet, watching President Barack Obama welcome home the troops at Fort Bragg on December 14, and the media coverage of that event, it struck me that one thing has not changed. Despite the vast expenses incurred by news organizations following the occupation, and the considerable time that politicians in Washington spent debating its merits, many Americans continue to see in Iraq a reflection of their own country's ideals and contradictions. They will remember Iraq as an American trauma. But it was, above all, an Iraqi trauma.
Here is a map of Afghanistan. Versions of it adorn conference rooms in military bases, ministry buildings and NGO headquarters. The first question it raises is: "Why does Afghanistan exist?"

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine, May 22 (Reuters) - The little-known operator of a pipeline linking Montreal and Maine is studying how to make the line the first route to get Canadian oil sands crude to an Atlantic deepwater port, but the plan relies on supplies that may not be available for years.
The Portland-Montreal pipeline - principally owned by top Canadian oil refiners Suncor Energy Inc, Imperial Oil Ltd, and Royal Dutch Shell Plc - has already spent about $6.5 million to prepare for a reversal of the line so it can carry heavy oil sands crude from Quebec to Maine's biggest city, according to regulatory filings from 2011. The pipeline now mainly carries imported crude to Canadian refineries.
The plan to reverse the 236-mile (378-kilometer) duct has already made New England green groups and some lawmakers bristle, opening up an eastern front in the national energy and climate change debate. But its fate may hang more heavily on the availability of oil sands crude from points west than it does on local support.
'This is not something that's going to happen overnight,' said Larry Wilson, chief executive of the Maine-based Portland Pipe Line Corp, citing the need for enough supply reaching Montreal and demand along the Eastern Seaboard.
'But we are currently operating under capacity, and looking for every opportunity to maximize use of our assets, including reversal,' he said of the pipe, which was designed to move as much as 240,000 barrels per day.
Canadian pipeline company Enbridge Inc - operator of the world's largest pipeline system - has proposed reversing its so-called 'Line 9' pipeline between Sarnia, Ontario, and Montreal, to get Alberta oil sands crude into Quebec.
That would eventually allow it to supply Quebec with just 300,000 bpd, too little to sate Quebec's oil refineries and fill the line to Portland at the same time.
'Our intention is to feed those two refineries but I guess they'll still be a little bit short,' Al Monaco, Enbridge's chief executive, told reporters earlier this month when asked if the company had mulled supplying crude to the Portland line.
Canada's oil sands are seen as a secure source of oil for the United States, but they are located in landlocked northern Alberta.
Canadian oil sands producers and Canadian authorities are keen to move more oil to U.S. and overseas markets, but plans, including TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL pipeline to the Gulf of Mexico and Enbridge's Northern Gateway to the Pacific, have been delayed by controversy and political rancor.
Some oil sands crude does move to Vancouver on Canada's Pacific Coast, however, on Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP's Trans Mountain pipeline.
Opposition to pipeline projects has stiffened after recent spills of oil sands crude on lines in the middle of the United States, including one outside Little Rock, Arkansas, in March, and another in 2010 that poured 20,500 barrels into a waterway near Kalamazoo, Michigan.
In Maine, several communities have passed nonbinding resolutions expressing opposition to transporting oil sands crude through the Portland pipeline, which passes through the Sebago Lake watershed, a regional tourism hub and the source of water supply for Portland, Maine's largest city.
'There's so much to lose that Maine people aren't willing to sit on their hands and wait until the company decides they are ready to propose something,' said Dylan Voorhees of the Natural Resources Council of Maine.
U.S. Senator Angus King, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, has called the company a 'sound environmental steward' for its good record on spills. But he wrote in a recent constituent letter that he would request that any proposal to transport heavier-grade diluted bitumen on the line face full federal permitting and environmental scrutiny.
In 2008, the pipeline company submitted a proposal to reverse the flow and transport Canadian crude - though the plan was later ditched for economic reasons.
At the time, the U.S. State Department determined the project 'did not constitute a substantial change in scope...' from the original permit, according to documents obtained by Reuters.

London Bridge Station, you stand strong!
This is indeed one of my favourite stations out of all the ones I have taken so far (granted, it's not a lot, but I've begun to figure out what I like and don't like and this I like!) Easy to get in and out of, easy to find the lines and easy to get to fun attractions around the area by heading to this stop. What's not to love?
It can be a little...more
Not fantastic at the moment, especially with all the road and construction work going on around the Shard. Hoards of tourists aren't helpful either, clogging up the already undersized concourse at every hour of the day
Can't wait for to see what the Summer Olympics has in store for the entire network..more
London Bridge - What a jolly good station!
When I landed my first "grownup girl job" I remember feeling like I was a part of the tube riding system. At long last I had a real purpose for going! Don't get me wrong, I had been there before many-a-time, but now, I am a professional! Bless.
Where I grew up didn't have an underground tube station so to get to one I would need to grab an overland...more
This Tube station is one of my favourites for its proximity to many of my favourite London attractions and hence many happy memories.
The Northern and Jubilee lines run through here but it also has train links and a nearby stop to the water taxi service on the Thames. Being one of the newer Jubilee Line stops (the newest London Underground line), the platforms and corridors are nice and wide...more
This is one of the best connected and located tube/train stations in London. There is a ton of stuff to do here because of the proximity to the river - through both the Southbank/Bankside area and the Queen's Walk / Docklands area.
Borough and the neighborhood is also quite outdoorsy. I usually run along Thames Walk by the river from Rotherhithe to Queen's Walk and back.
