< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick LeahyMay 22, 2003
Opening Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy I want to thank Senator Graham for working with me and thank all Senators for agreeing to pass our Hometown Heroes Survivors Benefits Act, S.479, late last week. With cooperation from Chairman Sensenbrenner in the House this important measure can be enacted without further delay to ensure that the survivors of firefighters, police officers and EMS personnel who die of heart attacks or strokes in the line of duty be eligible to receive financial assistance through the Public Safety Officer Benefits (PSOB) program. With the national terror alert being raised again this week, our state and local first responders are being called upon to do more but being made to carry the burden of doing so. In Vermont, the last yellow-to-orange alert change in connection with the war in Iraq required the State and our local governments and agencies once again to dig even more deeply into their depleted coffers in order to accomplish these prevention and preparedness duties, and those costs are only partially covered by federal assistance. Raising the alert level is prudent when circumstances warrant, but each time the Federal Government does so it results in direct costs to state and local governments. It means added precautions for events and buildings and transportation hubs. Preparedness has become a costly unfunded mandate on our first responders. We are continually tapping the coffers of local police, fire and rescue units to counter these threats and many of them are being tapped out. Preparedness is supposed to be a partnership, and more federal help is needed to make this partnership work. That is why I have been urging throughout this year that we focus Committee attention on pending first-responder legislation that I have previously asked be considered by the Committee. Senator Daschle and I have introduced the First Responders Partnership Grant Act of 2003, S. 315 and S. 466. These pieces of legislation are of great interest to our state and local emergency response communities because they will supply our police officers, firefighters and EMS providers with the resources they need to bolster our security against terrorists. This is essential federal support that our law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency personnel need and deserve. Effective oversight requires an open and constant dialogue between Congress and the Administration. We should not have to wait for many months or even years to have our questions answered. We should not have to pull teeth to get the information we need to do our jobs. We should not have to rely on press leaks and whistleblowers to learn what is really going on at the Department of Justice. The American people want, expect and deserve effective congressional oversight of the law enforcement powers being employed in the struggle against terrorism. Clear signals are being sent to Washington from across the country, as cities and towns in Vermont and elsewhere debate and vote on resolutions regarding this issue. Robust congressional oversight helps ensure that those who enforce the laws in the name of the American people do so with full regard for the safety and the liberties of the American people, and do so in a manner that is as open as possible. At our hearing on March 4th, Chairman Hatch announced that the Committee would hold an oversight hearing with Director Mueller on issues relating to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. It has been nearly three months, and we are still waiting for that hearing to be noticed. There is strong bipartisan support for that hearing. Director Mueller promised to make himself available. There is no reason for further delay. There is also no reason to delay Committee consideration of S.436, the Leahy-Grassley-Specter "Domestic Surveillance Oversight Act of 2003." This bill reflects bipartisan efforts to strengthen effective oversight of the FBI. This bill does not in any way diminish the government's powers, but it does allow Congress and the public to monitor their use. It would let some much-needed sunlight into the domestic surveillance activities of our government. I see that the Chairman has chosen, instead, to list two bills I have cosponsored and intend to support: our cameras in the courtroom bill and a judicial pay raise bill. I will have more to say on each as we debate them. On legislation concerning asbestos-related claims, I remain committed to moving a consensus plan through the legislative process and into law. We have not yet reached consensus. Action together, and allowing the negotiations to progress is, in my view, the best way to achieve that goal. When I scheduled our first hearing on this matter last year, I committed to a good faith effort on this important matter. I have not varied from that course. There remain a number of important issues on which we are working toward consensus. Working together we stand the best chance of success. I want to thank Senator Dodd, Senator Feinstein, Senator Carper and a number of others for working with me on this important matter. Additionally, the Committee meets today to vote on the nominations of three individuals who have served in the Department of Justice during times when issues of enormous import to our nation have been debated and decisions on those issues were implemented. We should all acknowledge how far we have come from the 110 vacancies that we faced in the summer of 2001, after the 100 confirmations during Democratic control and the 25 this year, to this point when we have the lowest number of judicial vacancies in13 years. The Administration has chosen confrontation with the Congress, with the Senate and with this Committee. With a modicum of cooperation we could achieve so much more. As it is, we have worked hard to repair the damage to the confirmation process, and we have achieved some significant results. # # # # # STATEMENT OF PATRICK LEAHY Several months ago I introduced a bill to restore the many cost of living adjustments that Congress failed to provide the judiciary. I believe strongly that Congress should treat our federal judiciary with the respect that a co-equal branch of government deserves. Recent congressional treatment disrespectful of the judiciary, including passage of the Feeney Amendment and the historical fiscal treatment of the judiciary, is a trend that needs to be changed. I join the Chairman and many other Members of this Committee in support of S. 1023 in recognition that judicial pay should not be linked to congressional pay. While congressional pay-setting has important political implications, our fiscal treatment of the judiciary should be removed from politics. This is why we need to include language from my bill to repeal Section 140 which links Cost of Living Adjustments for Congress and the Judiciary. I plan to offer an amendment to this effect with my colleague Senator Graham. Also included in my judicial pay bill are several provisions to address concerns about judicial ethics that undermine public confidence in our courts. For the past three years, editorial boards across the country have called our attention to the appearance of impropriety that occurs when federal judges accept gifts and attend lavish private seminars sponsored by corporations or fail to monitor their stock holdings so that they can properly recuse themselves from cases where there may be a conflict of interest. Senator Grassley and I have both publicly commented on the need to improve the public's access to judges' recusal lists. Despite my on-going concerns about reports of judicial activities that undermine public confidence, I have decided not to add my ethical provisions to today's judicial pay raise bill. After consulting with the members of the Judicial Conference and the Federal Judges Association, I have been persuaded that the judiciary should be allowed some time to respond to my legislative proposals. Certainly, self-regulation would be the preferred approach toward these important ethical issues. I trust that the Judicial Conference will consider amendments to its financial disclosure rules in the immediate future. Such reforms should include requiring private seminar providers to fully disclose the financial and litigation interests of their sponsors and improving access to judicial recusal lists. I hope that judicial self-governance will address the serious concerns of our constituents but I leave open the possibility of congressional action if they fail to make changes that will preserve the public's confidence in an impartial federal judiciary. # # # # #
I am proud to be a cosponsor of the "Sunshine in the Courtroom Act." Our democracy works best when our citizens are fully informed. That is why I have continually supported efforts during my time in the Senate to promote the goal of opening the proceedings of all three branches of our government. We continue to make progress in this area. Except for rare closed sessions, the proceedings of Congress and its Committees are open to the public, and carried live on cable networks. In addition, Members and Committees are using the Internet and Web sites to make their work available to broader audiences. The work of Executive Branch agencies is subject to public scrutiny through the Freedom of Information Act, among other mechanisms. Despite the dramatic shift toward excessive secrecy demonstrated by the current administration, the Freedom of Information Act remains a cornerstone of democracy. It establishes the right of Americans to know what their government is doing - or not doing. As President Johnson said in 1966, when he signed the Freedom of Information Act into law: This legislation springs from one of our most essential principles: A democracy works best when the people have all the information that the security of the Nation permits. The work of the third branch of government is also open to the public. Proceedings in federal courtrooms around this country are open to the public, and our distinguished jurists publish extensive opinions explaining the reasons for their judgments and decisions. All 50 states currently allow some form of audio/video coverage of court proceedings. This legislation simply extends this tradition of openness to the federal level. This bill permits presiding appellate and district court judges to allow cameras in the courtroom; they are not required to do so. At the same time, it protects non-party witnesses by giving them the right to have their voices and images obscured during their testimony. Finally, the bill authorizes the Judicial Conference of the United States to promulgate advisory guidelines for use by presiding judges in determining the management and administration of photographing, recording, broadcasting, or televising the proceedings. The authority for cameras in federal district courts sunsets in three years. In 1994, the Judicial Conference concluded that the time was not ripe to permit cameras in the federal courts, and rejected a recommendation of the Court Administration and Case Management Committee to authorize the photographing, recording, and broadcasting of civil proceedings in federal trial and appellate courts. A majority of the Conference was concerned about the intimidating effect of cameras on some witnesses and jurors. The New York Times opined at that time, on September 22, 1994, that "the court system needs to reconsider its total ban on cameras, and Congress should consider making its own rules for cameras in the Federal courts." I understand that the Judicial Conference remains opposed to cameras in the federal courts, and I am sensitive to the Conference's concerns. But this legislation grants to the presiding judge the authority to evaluate the effect of a camera on particular proceedings and witnesses, and decide accordingly on whether to permit the camera into the courtroom. A blanket prohibition on cameras is an unnecessary limitation on the discretion of the presiding judge. Allowing a wider public than just those who are able to make time to visit a courtroom to see and hear judicial proceedings will allow Americans to evaluate for themselves the quality of justice in this country, and deepen their understanding of the work that goes on in our courtrooms. This legislation is a step in making our courtrooms and the justice meted out in them more widely available for public scrutiny. The time is long overdue for federal courts to allow cameras on their proceedings. # # # # # |

If price was no object what brand of stove and refrigerater would you buy??
Anyone have any comments/experiences good or bad with certain brands of appliances?
I purchased a GE Electric Dryer. It was a superb experience for me. GE Appliances
Stove- Viking
Dishwasher- Bosche
all in stainless steel finish
i would say ANYTHING but MAYTAG...i got the washer/dryer. slide in stove/dishwasher and fridge...washer is OK...dryer has been fixed twice in less than 2 years and still sounds like there is a screw loose in there (nope its NOT me) and the stove is OK...dishwasher cleans well but there is a middle water jet and it doesnt hold many dishes and the FRIDGE...I HATE it...like smoodgie says...water is room temp...the ice keeps jamming and the side by side is just too small for pizzas, turkeys or anything big...its smaller than the side by side I had before that was GE and not as quiet...boo, am just sorry, altho they are black and look good its just not enough (filter is over $70 each year too)
We bought a Maytag wide-by-side fridge 1-1/2 years ago, and I LOVE it. It's big, it's well lit, it's easy to find things, you can raise and lower the top shelf in the fridge with a crank, I think you can adjust the positions of the door shelves (although I haven't done this), the freezer has lots of shelves and drawers and baskets on the door, the ice & water dispenser is super-handy.... my only complaint is that the water comes out at room temperature, not cold.
Of course, you can get a way more elaborate and extrvagant fridge if price is no object, but the Maytag wide-by-side is a great fridge for a good price :)
would also choose the restaurant quality appliances if I had the room for them, they last forever.
For my new house I shopped all the brands and ended up choosing all GE appliances. They are available in all types of styles and finishes, had the best warranty, and were a decent price for what you get.
I used to have Maytag, but for the name , they are really not worth it.
And LG is not all its cracked up to be, I have the front loader washer and dryer by them, for the money I could have gotten a much better top loader.
My suggestion is just to shop around, many stores now have operational displays you can try, but also keep an eye on the warranties.
I have purchased an Amana fridge that is slightly wider than normal but if price was no object a large resturant style Sub Zero. A friend has one it doesn't have that much more room inside I just like the way it looks.
For a stove it depends on what you are looking for I have a garland but I also like the Wolff ones those are the large industrial size with the red knobs. If price was not object I strongly recommend you get the eight burners with the large oven and smaller oven. I totally regret not pruchasing this especially at time when we are entertaining 25-30 people. Of course the wall mounted ovens are also ideal.
Dishwasher was Bosch I love it! It doesn't have many cycle (only 3) but it cleans well and is whisper quiet. Miele is supposedly the best although I have heard some recent complaints about it.
Definetly need a garberator in the kitchen to cut down on hosehold food waste
Hope this helps :)

College Point is a working-middle-class neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. It is located north of Flushing on Flushing Bay and the East River and is part of the Queens Community Board 7.[1] Willets Point Boulevard and the Whitestone Expressway are often the neighborhood's approximate boundaries with Flushing and Whitestone. The 109th precinct NYPD serves College Point.[2] College Point is a diverse community, mostly residential with some industrial areas.
College Point was named for St. Paul's College, a seminary founded in 1835 by the Rev. William Augustus Muhlenberg.[3][4] The college closed around 1850. Former names include Lawrence's Neck, Tew's Neck, Flammersberg, and Strattonsport.
The original European settler of this area was Captain William Lawrence.[5] He was also the largest land holder of the original incorporators of the Town of Flushing, now in Queens. He arrived in America on the ship Planter in the 1630s. He married the oldest daughter of Richard "Bull Rider" Smith who founded Smithtown L.I. With his first wife he had a son, William Jr., who married the Smiths' youngest daughter.
In 1854 the German-American industrialist, Conrad Poppenhusen arrived, already a prosperous manufacturer in Brooklyn of hard rubber goods, expanded his operation to this small farming community. College Point became a factory town primarily for his workers, most of them German immigrants like himself, and the tycoon became a philanthropist contributing to churches, libraries, and the Poppenhusen Institute, an educational beacon of College Point.[6] He is responsible for the first free kindergarten in America. He connected College Point to Flushing by the Flushing and North Side Railroad, later called Whitestone Branch. A monument on College Point Boulevard, one of the main streets in College Point, stands testament to Poppenhusen.[7]
College Point became a center for breweries and day trip resorts, and in the 1920s shifted towards airplane parts manufacturing.
In 1997, the Queens Historical Society[8] bestowed a "Queensmark" award on College Point, in hopes of encouraging historical preservation of local landmark architecture.[9]
MTA New York City Transit provides public bus service to College Point via the Q20A/B, Q25, Q65, and Q76 lines. No subway service is available.
Notable structures[edit]
The First Reformed Church — A church built in 1873 in the small town New England style. The church is on a large lot, has a bell tower, and is adorned with "gingerbread" trim. On June 6, 2008 a fire caused damage in the steeple. The damage has been repaired and the congregation is hoping to be worshiping in the sanctuary soon. (Up on 119th Street)
Flessel's Restaurant — Recently demolished in the construction boom, Flessel's stood as a testament to the summer resorts and beer gardens that once marked College Point.
Flushing Airport - Opened in 1927 along the shore of Flushing Bay, the airport had been a busy aviation hub before LaGuardia Airport was built in 1939 about one mile away. It carried the IATA code FLU. In 1977, a Piper Twin Comanche crashed shortly after taking off from the airport. The incident eventually led to the closing of this airport in 1984.[10] The site remains abandoned, although plans have been proposed over the years to convert it into a blimp-port or office park. Given natural deterioration of the hangars and concrete runways, however, it is likely that the site will simply return to being natural wetlands.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
Poppenhusen Institute — Built in 1868 by Conrad Poppenhusen, the founder of College Point. The architecture features a French Second Empire Mansard roof topping off the three Italianate style stories. During the entire Civil War, the Poppenhusen Institute building housed the disassembled Abraham Lincoln's log cabin. After the war, it was returned to Hodgenville Kentucky, the current site of the log cabin. The Institute's other claim to fame is that it conducted America's first free kindergarten. Originally a town hall, this City Landmark now serves as a cultural and historical center and offers a variety of classes and activities.
Schleicher Court — A mansion built in 1853 that also operated as the Grand View Hotel.[18] The house was divided into apartments and literally sits in the center of 123rd street. The house suffered an electrical fire on July 9, 2008 and was forcibly vacated by the Department of Buildings.[19]
The Spangelberg Mansion — A yellow and white mansion circa 1860 now also divided into apartments.
Poppenhusen Library — An Andrew Carnegie library, built in 1904 featuring a copper roof, is still active as a branch in the Queens Library system.[20]
Academy Mailbox & Intercom Company - a gray warehouse on 15th Ave. circa 1870. The building was originally used as an ice house to chill beer from a local brewery.
The Farrington's Service Station - The oldest Gulf Station in NY and possibly the oldest Gas Station in Queens. It was founded in the 1860's in College Point, NY on the corner of 126th Street and 15th Ave as a Blacksmith shop and transformed into a Gas Station and Auto Service Center in the early 1900's. The building has been renovated several times over the past 150 years and is still in operation on the same corner.
Schools and churches[edit]
Public elementary schools, defined as kindergarten through 5th grades, include PS 29 and PS 129. College Point is home to St. Fidelis Parish, founded in 1856. The present church was completed in 1906. Adjacent to the church is the grave of Father Huber, the founding pastor. For over 150 years, the parish conducted an elementary school including kindergarten through 8th grades. In 1924, St. Fidelis School, a three story building of 18 classrooms, opened its doors on the present 14th Avenue and 124th Street. In 1961, the 12 classroom annex was opened. During most of these years, it was staffed by the Dominican Sisters of Amityville (Dominican Sisters of the American Congregation of the Holy Cross. Due to significant demographic changes in College Point, the elementary school was finally closed in June of 2013.
St. Agnes Academic High School, a private Catholic high and independent of St. Fidelis parish, has been operating for over one hundred years. In its early years, it was very briefly co-educational, but is now restricted to girls. It is owned and still staffed by the Dominican Sisters of Amityville, assisted by lay men and women. The Dominican Sisters reside in Saint Agnes Convent as well as the Harbor of Grace Convent, which was the original convent for this community.
College Point is also home to St. John's Lutheran School, another elementary program.
St. Fidelis Roman Catholic Church,[21] St. Paul's Episcopal, St. John's Lutheran, and The First Reformed Church of College Point host the community's four largest congregations.
A massive new NYPD Police Academy campus is currently being constructed in the neighborhood.
Recreation and attractions[edit]
MacNeil Park, formerly known and still affectionately called Chisholm's by many locals (after the family that owned the mansion that once stood in the park), features a water front view, full playground, basketball and handball courts, and baseball fields. The Chisholm's Mansion was located at the highest part of the park, overlooking the East River and Rikers Island. This mansion served as the summer residence of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia during his term of office as Mayor of New York.
Poppenhusen Playground is a park for primary school aged children.
College Point Park, the former location of P.S. 27, is located across the street from Poppenhusen Library.It is called "27" by many locals. It has basketball and handball courts as well as an adjacent municipal parking lot. A hot-dog vendor is often in the park on days with good weather and has handballs available for sale.
Powell's Cove Park, an environmental waterfront park, lies on the border of College Point and Malba and affords a great view of the Bronx Whitestone Bridge
Frank Golden Memorial Park, located behind the strip mall on 14th Avenue, features 4 baseball diamonds and is used by local softball leagues.
- College Point Sports Park
College Point is home to a newly reconstructed hockey rink on Ulmer Street complete with floodlights and bleachers, which was part of a larger reconstruction of the College Point Fields. The baseball fields and hockey rink are now New York City Department of Parks and Recreation Fields, but the entire property used to belong to the College Sports Association, which leased the fields from the City for $1 a day. The fields were to be rebuilt in the late 1990s, but due to complications due to the EnViroFill dumping construction debris, in 1999, the construction was stopped, the fields closed and the lease revoked. The local leagues nearly collapsed due to the closure of the fields, but under the leadership of Jerry Castro, President of the Little League until 2006, and Tony Mongeluzzi, President of the Roller Hockey League, the leagues survived and are now thriving.
- College Point Little League
The College Point Little League, based out of the College Point Little League Building, is chartered by Little League Baseball in Williamsport, and serves the College Point, Flushing, and Whitestone areas of Queens. The College Point Little League is an all volunteer organization dedicated to providing boys and girls, ages 5 through 18, a place where they can build their baseball skills while learning good sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork, and most of all, having fun.
- College Point Stars
The College Point Stars (not affiliated with the College Point Little League) are a youth baseball team that advanced to the 2007 Cal Ripken Babe Ruth League Division World Series, coached by Nelson Santiago, who was involved with the Little League for several years, including managing a team of 11 year olds to a second place finish in New York State in the summer of 2006.
Shopping and entertainment[edit]
Farrington's Service Station Was established in the 1860's on the corner of 126th St and 15th Ave in College Point NY as a Blacksmith shop. John Farrington, Blacksmith, later transformed it into a Gas Station and Auto Service Center in the early 1900's. The Farrington Family's 5th Generation still owns and operates the Gas Station on the same corner. It is the oldest Gulf Station in NY, maybe even the oldest gas station in Queens.
Empire Market on College Point Boulevard has sold German meats and groceries since 1920 and is owned by a third-generation German family. The store also offers a wide variety of candy in glass jars and is a favorite among children.
College Meat Center, family owned and operated since 1963, has been serving local residents for over 40 years, surviving a fire in the 1980s.
Shopping centers on 20th Avenue include Target, TJ Maxx, BJ's Wholesale Club, Old Navy, Babies R' Us, and Waldbaum's supermarket.
The Point on 127th St/20th Ave, an eco-friendly lifestyle center, was opened in 2012, offering a fresh architectural appeal, spectacular views of Manhattan skyline, and a host of retailers including restaurants, a supermarket, a spa, a swimming pool, a karaoke bar, a hotel, children's corner, rooftop garden restaurant and lounge and various shops.

To me, Woodson was ALWAYS a Steeler, regardless of jersey color...even moreso, to me, than a guy like Joey Porter...
I don't begrudge guys like Franco, Webby or Harrison (now) for wanting one more season...I'm just disappointed with how it worked out...Harrison had an opportunity to stay at the best deal possible for him and didn't take it....
Woodson played for 7 or 8 more seasons after Donohoe ran him out of town...he had a lot left to give, not just one last season...
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!

Same with Harrison..if he is a Bungle...then i hope he gets zero sacks...and gets trucked by Rice or Trent Richardson...and gets pancaked by every freaking O-line/TE/RB/FB in AFCN...

That's how the Steelers ended the dynasty of the '70s. They rode out their stars until there was nothing left instead of slowly moving them along little by little and replenishing before waiting until the cupboard was bare.
As a direct result, we had the Steelers of the '80s. Sometimes you have to make the decision to move players along a season or two too early rather than risk waiting a season or two too late.
See, I'm not like that at all. I want to see Mike Wallace and Deebo as first alternates in the pro-bowl behind whatever carbon unit the Steelers find to take their place. I like these players and want to see them succeed- just not at the expense of my favorite team. I like to see Drew Brees do his thing too, just not at the expense of my team. The fact that someone once had ties to the Steelers doesn't color my impression of them as a player unless I thought they were a jackass in Pitt as well.

Hard water is coming and I'm thinking of getting an electric ice auger. I'm strongly leaning toward the Strikemaster Electra 12000. I would like to hear from anyone who owns or has used an electric ice auger and what they thought of its performance including how many holes can I expect to be able to drill on a charge. Thanks in advance!

Recent reviews:
March 1, 2014 - I had purchased all my grand nieces and nephews a full set of these last year. I live in Florida and did not need one for myself. However, I went to MI for a holiday and had perfect cause to buy a set for myself and was glad of it. I love the fleece. Love the purple. Love the level of warmth. I will be able to use it in Florida on those super chilly winter eves too. Excellent1
February 21, 2014 - the gloves and scarf was the same color but the hat was not. I ordered the purple and only got the gloves and scarf in that color. The paw prints was different colors also.
February 10, 2014 - VERY soft, VERY warm, and always in my purse if not being worn. My fingers are always cold, and I love having these nearby. Most gloves don't warm already cold hands... these do!
January 29, 2014 - very soft ,warm & lovely!
January 28, 2014 - The scarf is so warm, I love it. Only wished I could have gotten the blue one. Well worth the price.

How do you find the RAID configuration of the database server?
(comments are locked)
This depends on your RAID controller and it's vendor. You will find it in the management console (Computer Management) or in a configuration application of your RAID vendor.
(comments are locked)
Your server support team probably has this information from their build documentation.
+1 for optimism :)

A sweet-sounding USB digital amplifier for headphones and speakers
The nice folks at Parts Express sent over an amazing-sounding little amplifier, the $129 Topping TP30. It's a tiny desktop Class T amp design, with one analog RCA stereo input and one USB connection (the TP30 has a built-in digital-to-analog converter). The amp delivers 15 watts per channel to 4 ohm-rated speakers (10 watts into 8 ohms), and has a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the front panel.
With its extruded aluminum chassis, 8mm thick, CNC-machined front panel, and solid-metal volume control knob the TP30 wouldn't look out of place in a high-end system. It even feels expensive, but I have just one nitpick: the illuminated blue LED ring surrounding the volume control knob is too bright. I wish there was a way to dim it or turn it off. The amp measures a tidy 4.13 inches by 1.77 inches by 8.07 inches.
The USB interface utilizes standard Windows audio class 1 drivers (it worked fine with my Mac mini). Internal parts quality is superb; the TP30 boasts Elna capacitors, Dale resistors, and an ALPS volume control. The Burr-Brown USB digital-to analog converter chip accepts up to 48 kHz sampling rates with 16-bit resolution.
I compared the sound of the TP30 with my Audioengine N22 amp ($199), and they're both pretty good. The N22 has a fuller, warmer tonal balance, but the TP30 has a more immediate, detailed sound with more tightly controlled bass. I used my Audioengine P4 speakers for all of my speaker-based listening tests. It's interesting, the TP30 is a digital amp and takes digital signals "straight-in" via its USB port; the N22 is analog-only and is a more traditional Class A/B amplifier design. It sounded softer, and a wee bit less defined than the TP30.… Read more

HHS Needs to Develop a Plan That Incorporates Lessons from the Responder Health Programs
GAO-08-610: Published: May 30, 2008. Publicly Released: Jun 2, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Following the World Trade Center (WTC) attack, the Congress appropriated more than $8 billion to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency for response and recovery activities. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) received some of this funding to establish health screening and monitoring programs for responders to the disaster and later received additional appropriations to fund treatment. In total, about $369.2 million has been appropriated or awarded for the WTC health programs. GAO previously reported on problems that these programs have had in ensuring the availability of services for all responders. GAO was asked to examine lessons from the WTC health programs that could guide future programs. GAO examined (1) lessons from the programs' experience and (2) HHS actions or plans that incorporate the lessons. GAO interviewed WTC health program officials and other experts and reviewed DHS and HHS documents.
GAO identified five important lessons from the experience of the WTC health programs that could help with the development of responder health programs in the event of a future disaster. First, registering all responders during a response to a disaster could improve implementation of screening and monitoring services. Second, designing and implementing screening and monitoring programs that foster the ability to conduct epidemiologic research could improve the understanding of health effects experienced by responders and help determine the need for ongoing monitoring. Third, providing timely mental health screening and monitoring that is integrated with physical health screening and monitoring could improve the ability to accurately diagnose physical and mental health conditions and prevent more serious mental health conditions from developing. Fourth, including a treatment referral process in screening and monitoring programs could improve the ability of responders to gain access to needed treatment. Fifth, making comparable services available to all responders, regardless of their employer or geographic location, could ensure more equitable access to services for responders and help ensure that data collected about responders' health are consistent and comprehensive. HHS has taken steps to facilitate responder registration, but has not developed a department-level plan for responder health programs. HHS's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has developed a survey instrument that state and local entities can adopt to register responders and other individuals exposed to a disaster. In a separate effort, HHS's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response is taking steps to establish a system to register HHS employees and other federal public health and medical personnel who are deployed to a disaster, but it has not completed this effort. HHS has not developed a department-level plan for designing and implementing responder health programs that incorporates the five lessons from the WTC health programs. As a result, HHS has not indicated whether its policies and actions following a disaster or emergency would apply these lessons. Another consequence of not having a plan is that HHS has not described its components' roles and responsibilities for designing and implementing responder health programs. It has not identified which HHS components would be involved in responder health programs, which component would take the lead, how the expertise of various components would be used, or how efforts would be coordinated. In the absence of a department-level plan, HHS's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health developed a proposal in February 2008 for a project to develop strategies to ensure responder safety and health. While GAO concluded that this proposal is a step in the right direction for addressing responder health issues, it noted that the proposal does not fully address the lessons that have been identified from the WTC health programs.
Status Legend:

- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: To ensure that effective programs are developed to deal with the health effects that responders may experience in the event of a future disaster, Secretary of HHS should develop a department-level responder screening and monitoring plan that defines the roles and responsibilities of HHS components and incorporates the five lessons identified from the experience of the WTC health programs. Specifically, this plan should facilitate the registration of all responders and ensure that screening and monitoring services are designed to foster epidemiologic research; provide timely mental health screening and monitoring that is integrated with physical health screening and monitoring; include a treatment referral process; and make comparable services available to all responders, regardless of their employer or geographic location.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.

GPS security Hi word to the wise During my last session I took a crash, and checking my gear noticed the arm-band of the aquapak was hanging loose. The Velcro was still tight, but the machine stitching holding the Velcro patch to the band was ¾ ripped away! Have hand stitched the patch back and reinforced the corners of the other machine-stitched areas (Velcro and buckle) with hand stitching & frequent knots. Now fingers crossed Martin |

Last September, writer John Phillip Santos told me over the Friday brisket special at Garcia's: "This book was like running a marathon, with an earthquake at the halfway point. In some respects, 'The Farthest Home Is In an Empire of Fire' picks up on another book called 'Immaterial Empires' I imagined writing before 'Places,' in the early 90s, and then put aside — an attempt at a vast history of the emergence of the mestizo soul in the New World."
Where Santos' 1999 National Book Award finalist "Places Left Unfinished at the Time of Creation" told the story of John's father's side of the family, "Empire of Fire" delves into his maternal Iberian roots.
"Empire of Fire" hits shelves Monday, April 5, and readers are in for trials and tribulations — face it, the book is a challenging read, the way its author intended, but also one that is ultimately rewarding if they go the distance. The book is a hybrid, a mongrel that draws on memoir, travelogue and even sci-fi. There are at least three different typefaces for different voices throughout, and a "character," or voice inside John's head named Cenote Siete, is a time-traveling "descendent from the future" and writes some of the book's most beautiful passages. It is philosophical, "a mystery about questions of origin and how we think about stuff," says Santos. And the writer, a former documentary filmmaker, so it's also very cinematic, thinks deeply about lots of "stuff," being one of the more openly brilliant souls I've ever run across. (While still being very approachable and cool and well, having-a-beer-with worthy.)
"But the mystery here is broadly human," Santos continued, "moving from travels in South Texas and time in the libraries and museums of Spain to the science of genealogical genetics, which is gradually revealing more and more of the infinite regress of our origins.
"I wanted to continue to connect the Chicano story to the universal human story: Where did we come from? Why did the ancestors wander the planet so restlessly? What role do we play in the great human story? Who are we becoming?
"Amidst the family tales, this book draws much more from old documents and books, the obsession of our Spanish forebears. It probably has a more philosophical cast to it. The presence of Cenote Siete definitely gives it a more cosmic, time-traversing context. But all of it is set in the voice of an old story that has waited a very long time for the telling."
John recently sat still for an extended interview at Casa Dos Chihuahuas, the West Side cottage full of art and music and warmth where he lives with his wonderful wife, poet and teacher Frances Trevino, and dos chihuahuas named Zoila and Azul. Any day now, they will be joined by Francesca de la Luz, a baby daughter — and not a bad piece of work for a 52-year-old vato!
Herewith is most of that interview, transcribed with care.
Q. The book is called "The Farthest Home Is in an Empire of Fire: A Tejano Elegy." John Phillip, what have you given us here?
A. What do you mean? It's a thing itself! Uh, well, it's another testimony. In some respects, it's the other side of the story. The Conquest ran like a fault line through our family's past. My father's was family very Mexican, very mestizo, or so I thought. My mother's family, very Spanish, very Iberian, or so I thought. Where the first book engaged Mexico and the indigenous world, this book sought to explore our origins in the Old World. It's a book that deals a lot more with the written word, both in terms of becoming a writer, as well as discovering the written history of my mother's family in archives in Texas and Spain.
The title is enigmatic. It emerged along the way, and remained once it was set five or six years ago. It conjures the climate of South Texas, of the forbidding lands of what once northern New Spain. But it also for me has also harkened to the chaotic origins of everything, the Big Bang, the first fire. So the harkening through home in this book is both in terms of remembering the past in the context of South Texas, northern Mexico, and then this more profound sense of wondering where we came from in the first place. For me, it remains very enigmatic.
It has the subtitle 'A Tejano Elegy' to remind the reader of the elegiac tone of the book, the slightly wistful, commemorative voice in the book. Even as we recover our memories of our ancestors in the past, we are transforming ourselves. We're metamorphosing. The sense of the elegiac is about the poignancy of that recognition. There's the sense that even as we discover our origins, we're challenged to reckon the ways in which we've become something new already.
The book is, maybe more than 'Places' … I think I'm more in evidence in it, but still offstage. I wanted the book to have more of the scope of voices that I hear in my head, the kinds of writing that I've always been attracted to and have practiced in some way, and to find a way to stitch them together.
There isn't a central story in this book, in the way that my grandfather's death was a narrative throughline in 'Places.' In this one, it's slightly more, I guess philosophical, a mystery about questions of origin and how we think about stuff.
Q. I wanted to ask you about that. It's my understanding that you've been in communication with one of your descendents from the future, Cenote Siete, who plays a key role in this book.
A. Yes, that's right. (Laughs.)
Q. Why did you structure the book in such a non-linear, non-traditional manner?
A. Some of the earliest sequences (the better part of a decade ago) in this book were the Cenote Siete material. Some of his more glorious self-proclamations. And I didn't know quite what to make of them. Maybe this writing was moving more in the direction of a novel or a science-fiction tale of some sort. And along the way of interrogating that, I remembered this period really early in my life, when I was a kid, when some very mysterious things happened, one being passing out in a doctor's office. There were a couple of instances when I lost consciousness, one being a blood test, the other being an inoculation for measles where they were testing out those new air guns for inoculations. We were guinea pigs. But there were these incidents where I passed out and from that period I remembered, this was between the age of maybe eight and 12, where I was writing things down, really cryptic little sentences or things that I dreamt about. I had this bulletin board next to my bed. Strangest of all was my obsession with my parents being in this automobile accident, which didn't happen then; it happened later in my life. But as I went back into that time, I realized this voice that I was now, in adulthood, giving full rein to, so to speak, had been with me for a long time. But it had been quietened at some point. I took down that board from beside my bed and put it away and turned away from it. And that voice was maybe a big part of my impulse with being a poet. And then I became a journalist and television producer, and I had to throttle down the poetic urges and maybe sneak in a three-minute piece of poetry into a CBS documentary. So, Cenote Siete challenged me to overturn those negotiations, those old ways of reconciling my professional life and my literary life. And the voice challenged me to make this book much more literary in a sense.
Q. How has your background in film influenced your writing?
A. I probably learned how to make books out of making TV shows. I work with storyboards; I draw pictures early on in the process of writing. (He goes to retrieve a storyboard that includes a quick-sketched portrait of Cenote Siete.)
I work in rushes (as in daily rushes from filmmaking), so I draft material, and at a certain point I take an interval and put it into place, and the order begins to emerge. With the Cenote Siete material I really didn't know how it would work. I didn't know if it would preclude each chapter or if it would be embedded. Along the way, I knew he really needed his own space, he needed his own chapters. He appears in my chapters in italics, and then his chapters are always in italics, and then sometimes I can appear in his chapters in Roman font. So that scheme developed, alongside reading some of the literature, the idea of these epic tales (two works that have had lifelong impact on Santos are 'The Fairie Queene' and 'Don Quixote'), that was informing this book.
I think that stories call for their own forms. And this was a story very much about libraries and wanderings and time-traveling, so the sequence of events in the book has a reflection of that. There's the ability in the course of one chapter to be in several different time periods, to recognize that in the scope of this story, the Iberian story, that not only do we have to contend with the lived experience of our own journeys, the stories of our ancestors that we've heard, but that there was also this body of material that was written, was preserved, that was archived, that was meant to be accessed. In the case of the Sevilla library, there were five bales of materials that I knew of on the Escandon expeditions (into northern Mexico) and the founding of Nuevo Santander, and the challenge was to learn to read them, to be in their presence. This book is in that sense much more baroque, ornamented, elaborate. But I also wanted it to have a very organic feeling to it, and to challenge the reader a little more direct way than 'Places' did, to follow the lines of story, and the radically different voices, from a conversational style to the more grandiloquent voice of Cenote.
Q. There's a scene early in the book that I really like where you are a young man living in New York and you're a little bit disillusioned with life, I think you've separated from your first wife, and you go to see this curandero, Don Eduardito. He spews flower-flavored rum all over your naked body. And soon after you eat the rice pudding that takes you back to your mother's kitchen. I wonder if you were getting the sense even then that it was your destiny to tell this story?
A. On both sides of the family I was challenged to do that. Not every writer has to contend with that stuff. It happens that on both sides of the family we were very close. At that period, I was looking at where my life had gotten to in terms of a professional career, which was going along swimmingly, and this other part of my life, which had always been my nuclear core, the literary life. Which I'd always negotiated into this somewhat quartered space. That period when I met Don Eduardito was a part of this time when I felt that I had in a sense betrayed that literary impulse, that heart, and that it had remained constant with me. It had not betrayed me. And that meant in terms of my own writing, the story at hand was the story of these families. Finding a way into that was what indeed was taking place underneath the evident aspects of my life, the everyday professional part of my life. It was a difficult transition because lots of things were lost in that transition. At a certain point you trust something as transpiring, but that was all 13, 15 years ago, so even as things were moving I wasn't aware of them. My time in New York I always saw as connected to my ancestral, but attenuated, very distant. Cumulatively, these stories not only talk about one family, but they suggest ways in which we are connected to these ancestral journeys. And even as distant as we may have traveled from their sources, we are still involved in this large movement of the human journey. And stories for me are a way of reconnecting to that.

She lived her married life in the court of the Swedish king Magnus II. Mother of eight children (the second eldest was St. Catherine of Sweden), she lived the strict life of a penitent after her husband's death.
Bridget constantly strove to exert her good influence over Magnus; while never fully reforming, he did give her land and buildings to found a monastery for men and women. This group eventually expanded into an Order known as the Bridgetines (still in existence).
In 1350, a year of jubilee, Bridget braved a plague-stricken Europe to make a pilgrimage to Rome. Although she never returned to Sweden, her years in Rome were far from happy, being hounded by debts and by opposition to her work against Church abuses.
A final pilgrimage to the Holy Land, marred by shipwreck and the death of her son, Charles, eventually led to her death in 1373. In 1999, she, Saints Catherine of Siena (April 29) and Teresa Benedicts of the Cross (Edith Stein, August 9) were named co-patronesses of Europe.

Intelligence Squared US: "Breaking Up the Big Banks"
(Rochester, NY) – To prevent the collapse of the global financial system in 2008, Treasury committed 245 billion in taxpayer dollars to stabilize America's banking institutions. Today, banks that were once "too big to fail" have only grown bigger, with JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs holding assets equal to over 50% of the U.S. economy. Were size and complexity at the root of the financial crisis, or do calls to break up the big banks ignore real benefits that only economies of scale can pass on to customers and investors? Intelligence Squared US: "Breaking Up the Big Banks", airing Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 9 p.m. on AM 1370/FM-HD 91.5-2, debates this issue.
For the motion is Richard Fisher, President and CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and Simon Johnson, Professor of Entrepreneurship, MIT. Against the motion is Douglas Elliott, Fellow in Economic Studies, Brookings Institution and Paul Saltzman, President, The Clearing House Association. John Donvan, Author & Correspondent for ABC News, moderates.
Founded in 2006 and taped in front of a live audience in New York City, Intelligence Squared U.S. has grown into a unique multi-platform experience that spans live events, radio, television, podcasts, digital and social media that is heard and watched by millions internationally.

text: Heat- and water-stressed corn needs extra managementTexas Record drought and air temperatures in the Texas Panhandle are causing a water deficit for corn, pushing producers to make some tough decisions, according to Texas AgriLife Extension Service specialists. Practically all of the corn grown in the region is irrigated, typically requiring 18 to 24 inches of annual irrigation water to fully meet the water demand of the crop, according to Brent Bean, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension agronomist. From the period of May 1 to June 26, total corn irrigation has been 13.2 inches, or 3.9 inches more than the previous six-year average, Bean said. Through June, much of the corn in the Panhandle has experienced up to a 7-inch deficit. "Assuming a producer had the irrigation capacity to meet the increased water demand of 7 inches through June, increased pumping costs alone would add up to an additional $35 per acre," he said. In areas with moderate irrigation capacity, corn and cotton have become a very common crop rotation with seasonal water splitting, said Nich Kenny, AgriLife Extension irrigation specialist. "During multiple conversations this season, considerations for abandoning the riskier crop to ensure a more water- and heat-stress tolerant cotton crop have been expressed," Kenny said. "This is a difficult decision since both crops offer exceptional economic benefits under current market conditions." Daily corn water use during the two weeks prior to and following silking over the last six years has been 0.34 inches, Bean said. But if weather conditions remain extreme, average water use during this time is expected to exceed 0.4 inch per day for extended periods. Producers should keep this in mind as they determine their irrigation strategy during this critical time period, he said. Historically, producers have relied on stored soil moisture to get through the high water-use period during July and August. "Drought and the abnormally high water demand during May and June have left many corn fields with less than ideal soil moisture storage as the crop is approaching its peak physiological water-use period," he said. Producers basically have two corn management options if soil moisture is currently lacking and irrigation capacity is not sufficient to meet average daily water use of at least 0.34 inches or 6.5 gallons per minute/acre, Kenny said. The options are to irrigate acres at less than full water use demand or strategically abandon a portion of corn acres to allow the remaining acres to be adequately irrigated, he said. In areas north of the Canadian River where cotton has successfully been established, Kenny said water should exclusively be applied to the corn crop and the decision to abandon should be deferred until early to mid-July while the cotton crop is developing. If no significant rainfall occurs prior to mid-July, serious consideration should be given to abandoning some corn acres for cotton or reduce overall corn target yields and focus on cotton, he said. This decision is much more difficult in areas south of the Canadian River where heat and water stress are more prevalent and irrigation capacities are generally lower, Kenny said. It may be wise to begin splitting water earlier and targeting lower grain yields and/or abandoning crops. Bean and Kenny offer some considerations for producers to use in helping make the decision on when and whether to abandon a crop. That information can be found at: http://amarillo.tamu.edu/files/2010/11/heat-waterstressed1.pdf. If the decision is made to abandon some corn acres, the abandoned corn does have a value for silage or hay, Bean said. In a trial last year, the nutritional value of just-tasseled corn was similar to headed sorghum/sudangrass. "It is recommended that pricing of the abandoned forage be secured prior to making the decision to abandon grain and economics be heavily considered in the final decision," he said. "Also, corn tends to be high in nitrate. Be sure and have it tested before feeding."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very lively white with wonderful pineapple, honey and lemons on the nose and palate. Great finish with such intensity. Mineral, white pepper, and tropical fruit. Complex aftertaste of spices, pie crust, and lemon meringue. Fab. 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon, and 22% Muscadelle. Production..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "From the same stable as Mouton Rothschild and d'Armailhac, Clerc Milon, despite the relatively high percentage of Merlot (44%) combined with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Cabernet Franc, is dense, rich, tannic, and backward. Surprisingly muscular for this offering, which often exhibits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is big, rich and long. Still tastes like must. Hard to taste, but should be fantastic. I love the richness and spice."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The second wine from Chateau Angelus, one of St. Emilion's greatest wines. Just as its older sibling the wine is beautifully elegant with great balance and floral aromas.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An intense, tight wine, with stalky black currant fruit. It exhibits delicacy and elegance rather than power. Fresh fruit with an attractive smoky element make this a wine that is going to develop further, and it has a fresh, vibrant finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Les Pagodes de Cos is also a remarkable offering. Composed of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, and is better than most Cos d'Estournel vintages produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It is a full-bodied, opulently concentrated..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Beautiful structure. Vanilla, tobacco, dark fruit, some earthy flavors.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine that succeeds in combining great depth of flavor and structure with an impressive array of flavors. On top of the tannins is juicy black fruit, cocoa, a welter of spice and ripeness. The acidity and new wood put the wine into a more modern style."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great nose of blueberries, spices and hints of walnuts. Full body, with a lovely finish of well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is structured yet all in finesse. Best in years.
