As two bodies were pulled Wednesday from the rubble of a collapsed Canadian shopping mall, reports painted a troubled history of salt seepage, corrosion, leaks and mold in the 30-year-old structure
The victims, who were not identified, had been trapped in the wreckage since about 2:20 p.m. Saturday, when a 40-by-80-foot section of the rooftop parking lot at Algo Shopping Centre in Elliot Lake collapsed, raining down tons of concrete and steel.
The roof section smashed into the mall's second floor, part of which then crashed through to the first floor.
The rooftop section that failed was a parking area for customers and mall staff. A witness said cars had fallen through the roof near the escalators and some were hanging inside.
Officials said the two victims recovered Wednesday were expected to be the accident's only fatalities, although many more had originally been feared.
More than two dozen people were in the food court area before the collapsed area. About 22 were treated for injuries at area hospitals.
Complaints and Inspections
Built in the 1980s, the mall has been the subject of multiple complaints about leaks and mold in recent years, according to Ontario's Ministry of Labour.
Ministry inspectors visited the site six times in the last three years due to complaints about leaky pipes, a leaky roof, mold and an unsafe escalator, The Canadian Press reported.
In 2009, the ministry issued a stop work order related to inadequate training in the use of a skyjack lifting device to paint structural beams outside the mall, the newspaper said.
The entire piping system was being replaced while an inspector visited in November 2010, the ministry said.
Another inspection followed in January 2011, to confirm completion of that work. On June 1, 2011, an inspector visited again on the basis of a complaint about leaks and mold.
No violations related to that complaint were noted, but the inspector did issue two citations related to training violations of workers handling hazardous material and the reporting of the materials.
The most recent inspection occurred Jan. 11, 2012, in response to a complaint about the roof, but no orders were issued, the ministry told The Press.
Mall manager Rhonda Bear told Canada's CBC News that repairs had been conducted on the building but not on the section that collapsed. She said that an engineering and structural study completed in May had turned up nothing unusual.
Corrosion Weighed
Initial speculation about the cause of the collapse has centered on structural corrosion.
A Queen's University civil engineering professor told the Kingston Whig-Standard that rebar corrosion in the 30-year-old structure was a leading suspect in the factors that led to the collapse.
Because the roof served as a parking lot, corrosion could have been an even greater issue because of the salt used to clear the surface of ice during winter, said Professor Mark Green.
Green said it was also possible that the design of the building may have included an aspect that made it more susceptible to collapse, although he did not elaborate.
De-Icing Salt
Nalliah Thayabharan, of Building Experts Canada Ltd., noted in an online posting Wednesday that business owners in the mall were complaining about leaking water damage to their stores in 2009. One bank had to close temporarily to make repairs.
"Sudden failure of normal reinforced concrete is very rare," wrote Thayabharan. "Provided regular inspections are made, the condition of the concrete can be observed and ongoing deterioration noted."
Like Green and other experts, Thayabharan noted that because the roof was used as a parking area, freeze-thaw cycles and salt damage could have accelerated corrosion. In Canada, he wrote, "de-icing road salt" is "the most common cause of concrete deterioration."
"Highly corrosive salt water reach[es] the steel reinforcing of the parking decks through cracks, and by permeating the concrete," Thayabharan wrote. "Due to high amounts of salt, the reinforcing steel rusts. When rebar corrodes, the oxidation products (rust) expand and tend to flake, cracking the concrete and unbonding the rebar from the concrete."
Thayabharan also notes that calcium chloride was once commonly used as an admixture to promote rapid set-up of concrete and in the mistaken belief that it would prevent freezing.
In fact, he adds, the practice backfired, because high concentrations of chlorides are now known to promote corrosion of embedded steel.
Comment from Mary Chollet, (6/28/2012, 2:44 PM)
Editor's Note: In the June 28 issue of PaintSquare News, the headline on this article incorrectly cites "painting" as a possible contributing factor to the mall collapse. Although, as the story correctly notes, a painting job at the mall was shut down temporarily in 2009, that issue has not been tied to Saturday's roof collapse. PaintSquare News apologizes for this error.
Comment from Glenn Summers, (6/28/2012, 3:14 PM)
Someone had to have been asleep at the wheel for a long time not to have seen signs of corrosion of a magnitude to cause a catostrophic collapse such as this. Where were the people responsible for maintenance and operation of this mall? A real waste of Life !!
Comment from jeff truman, (6/28/2012, 3:20 PM)
The roof structure is coreslab on steel beams - there is no reinforced concrete. The original design flaw is using coreslab in northern ontario - all the joints in the slab require sealants - and a double layer of them. Better would have been an RC slab, which would then receive a membrane. Failure was most likely at the bolts, which are higher strength and more susceptible to stress corrosion cracking, exacerbated by the salts. The joints in the coreslab line up over the support beams, and water constantly dripped onto the beams. (I grew up in Elliot Lake, am a structural engineer, and investigated the mall 15 years ago.)
Comment from Robert Gallant, (6/29/2012, 4:32 PM)
Concerning the collapsed roof of the shopping mall in Elliot Lake it is interesting that the media and others are not reporting the root cause of the failure. It appears by looking at the photo they used hollow-core post tensioned concrete panels as opposed to reinforced concrete. Hollow-core post tension slabs are generally used as structural units for roofs with proper membranes but should not be used in corrosive environments such a parking with high chlorides from road salts. The reason being is that reinforced concrete when subjected to over stress conditions due to loadings and corrosion will show distress by cracking and spalling first, good example see Montreal road infrastructure. Hollow-core post tension panels are less forgiving they are designed using small diameter tendons that have zero tolerance for corrosion, catastrophic shear failure will result

December 12, 2003 FASHIONABLE WORDS: DEGOLYER LIBRARY AT SMU RECEIVES MARCUS BOOK COLLECTIONDALLAS (SMU) — The legendary Stanley Marcus – arbiter of fashion and good taste – consorted with politicians, celebrities, and collectors from around the world. Many shared his love for the printed word, typography and graphic design. Linda Marcus, widow of the late fashion retailer and civic leader, donated his personal library of 10,000 books to SMU's DeGolyer Library last summer. In honor of this gift, the DeGolyer Library reading room was named the "Stanley Marcus Reading Room" on Dec. 9. Highlights of the Marcus' collection include: • A Man of Letters Lyndon B. Johnson's autobiography with a personal note tucked in the pages, a book of Ogden Nash's poetry with an unpublished poem by Nash inscribed to Marcus, and an Italian inscription from Sophia Loren in her cookbook. • First Editions First editions of works by William Faulkner, H.L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, as well as a first edition Harry Potter. • The Art of Printing Highlights of the printed word from every century, including the Kelmscott Chaucer, one of the finest examples of 19-century printing published by noted printer and typographer William Morris. Stanley Marcus' wide-ranging curiosity is reflected in his collection of books on art, art history, literature, the book arts, business history and fashion. The gift of books that filled three libraries in the Marcus home is the most significant bibliographical gift made to DeGolyer Library since its founding in 1974. 03117-nr-12-11-03-rb |

Diner Reviews
When I called two weeks prior to
our visit to make reservation, I asked for either 7:00pm or 7:30pm time. I was told neither was available but I could choose 6:45 or 9:30 so I requested the 6:45. My husband and I arrived at 6:40' and were quickly seated in a booth tucked away in the corner (loved this). The dining area is comprised of both outdoor and indoor dining. For the entire dinner time, no one was seated outside even tho weather was nice and all the tables were available. I also noticed that there were 8 vacant tables. So why couldn't I get my 7:00 or 7:30 requested time? Food was perfect but the service was extremely slow....maybe they were under staffed for the night?"

We enjoyed our dinner for 2 very
much. The chef starter for the evening was a grilled oyster and it was tasty! We enjoyed a reasonable priced wine and the service was excellent. The lamb shank was done just right. My date had the salmon with grilled brussel sprouts which was fresh and delicious. The PEI mussels was probably our favorite which served with a creamy broth and chorizo. YUM!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
This was a great choice I made and
a great surprise for my wife. There was a three course meal that was magnificent! Our waiter Michael took exceptional care of us. My only complaint is the wine list was WAY over priced. We will be back to sample their menu again. Hands down, one if the best meals I've had in a long time!!! Thank you for a great Valentines!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
I brought my girlfriend here for
her birthday. We loved the special treatment they gave us and would come back for the service. We thought the food was good, although the menu options do seem limited, IMO. However, ask the chef to prepare something as he is open to preparing something off menu. Overall a very good time."
Dined on 2/8/2014
We love the Hyatt Lost Pines, but
had never been to Stories. We went for our son's 13th birthday and he loves it. He has great taste :) The staff was amazing and food was delicious!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
The prices were too high for the
value given. The food and service was not bad for a resort restaurant, but we would have been better off driving the 5 mins. to Bastrop, as we did the 2nd night, and tried the local restaurants. They have character, good food, moderate prices and are all located on the same little 3-5 block historic downtown that is charming."
Dined on 5/24/2013
We were looking for a quiet,
elegant place for dinner with a table by the window, minimal interruption to our conversation and excellent food. We got exactly what we were looking for at Stories."
Dined on 12/28/2013
One of the best steaks I have ever
had. Anywhere! Four of us dined and everyone raved about the food and service."
Dined on 12/28/2013
The food and wait staff are
fantastic. The quality and freshness of the ingredients make this a perfect dining experience."
Dined on 12/20/2013
The food was excellent, restaurant
elegant and the staff attentive. We'd recommend it for a special occasion."
Dined on 11/3/2013
The food is worth every penny you
pay at this restaurant. You will easily spend $100 for 2 people, but the food was amazing. My husband wanted the filet mignon but the sides that came with the ribeye and they were very accommodating and made the changes with no hesitation. I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. The bread choices that arrive prior to your meal were appetizing, as well as, the onion jam...it had a nice touch. A great place for a date or special event."
Dined on 10/27/2013
They have recently changed the
menu, so we got to try some new dishes. I had the diver scallops which were prepared perfectly and seasoned well. There was a little too much salt on the plate, so as long as I didn't drag my fork through it, the scallops were tasty. My husband had the tuna tartare which was excellent. For dinner, I had the pheasant which was very good and had no gamey taste. It had a cranberry relish and kale chips as garnish, so it had a fall-ish flavor, which was perfect. My husband had the ribeye which was my hands down favorite. For dessert, we had the chocolate torte with salted caramel ice cream. We loved the ice cream better than the torte. I'd say split the torte and have two scoops of ice cream."
Dined on 10/26/2013
Often when in a remote resort,
where dining options are limited, the restaurants are not very good-they don't have to be due to the captive audience. Stories is an exception to this rule. The food is fabulous and the service top notch. Beet salad, lamb as comfort food with polenta, salmon well prepared and the brussels sprouts are amazing. If you are staying at Lost Pines, don't skip this place."
Dined on 10/20/2013
The food was outstanding. My lamb
fell right off the bone and my husband's steak was cooked to perfection."
Dined on 10/6/2013
The entire staff is very
personable and friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable. Both the food and service was excellent. During our reservation, we had mentioned we were celebrating our wedding anniversary ... we were pleasantly surprised when the server presented us with a card signed by the staff and 2 glasses of champagne (plus a Shirley Temple for our young daughter). I would recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or simply to enjoy a special dinner."
Dined on 9/29/2013
We were greeted by name and seated
promptly. A server offered a selection of specialty homemade bread and sweet onion jam, and an amuse bouche followed quickly. The cocktail and wine lists offered options without overwhelming us. Salads made use of local ingredients: pecans, Texas citrus, prickly pear, and more. My filet mignon was perfectly cooked Prime beef, and the chef kindly subbed in a surprise veggie in lieu of the asparagus. Dessert was a refreshing buttermilk tart, don't miss it! Plan to spend a few hours as service is leisurely but attentive. Pricing is on par with better steakhouses, but the details were worth the expense. The menu changes seasonally and appears to be well thought out. We will return on our next stay!"
Dined on 8/25/2013
My husband and I celebrated our
anniversary here. We would recommend reservations. We made reservations and let them know we were celebrating our anniversary. The staff went out of their way to make it special. They found a quiet booth area were we could visit and enjoy our food but did not feel like we were secluded from the rest of the restaurant. The staff had a card prepared that they gave us wishing us a Happy Anniversary. We both loved our food and wine. The staff was very attentive but we had plenty of quiet time. My Filet was delicious. My husband had the pheasant and has not stopped talking about how good it was. We will definitely eat here again for special occasions."
Dined on 8/11/2013
Stories is in the Lost Pines Hyatt
resort which is a very casual place catering to families with kids, so I wasn't expecting their "fine dining" venue to be much more than a quieter dining room for grown-ups. What we found was a very nice space with an open kitchen & views through the tree tops. The menu showed real creativity & flare. It's what I'd expect to find in one of the big city celebrity chef places. The execution, presentation, and favors of the finished dishes were terrific. The wine list isn't that large and is mostly California selections, but there are some real gems if you look closely. Our server, Dorothy, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a great experience. Well worth a special trip to Bastrop."

We had a very large group of girls
and Stories private dining room was the perfect place. The food was wonderful and so was the staff."
Dined on 8/11/2013
We went to this restaurant two
nights in a row while staying at Lost Pines. It was phenomenal. The chef is very young but so incredibly talented! His snapper dish was so delicious--it rivaled the top Houston restaurants. In fact, I thought it was even better than an excellent fish dish I had out in Houston the night before. I just cannot say enough good things. The food is special and feels so new and unique without being at all pretentious and overly complicated."
Dined on 8/4/2013
Disappointing food, plating,
garnishes, and entree design overall. I could go into detail, but I'm not sure you'd care. I would've gladly paid more for true fine dining. This was not fine dining on several key issues; garnish, color, texture, finishing, and taste. Pasta and lobster dish done right should've been an excellent value if priced 36-38$; as it was, it was a poor value for $22. The $25 Italian buffet in the Firewheel downstairs was actually better. The smoked turkey buffet was also great."

Everyone one of your staff was

Dined on 6/11/2013
The overall sense at this resort
was that we were stuck at the resort and they knew it. The food was overpriced and was not very good quality. The mussels appetizer was highly recommended by the server, who said it was loved by the staff. I found them very fishy and unflavorful. The steak I had was a Choice type steak with a Prime type price."

The food was good and as ordered.
Pretty bland atmosphere."

Food and service were EXCELLENT!!!
We've stayed at Lost Pines before and not eaten at STORIES. We both feel we've missed a great experience, but don't plan on letting that happen again"
Dined on 5/11/2013
Our meal started off well with
great tasting appetizers, but the main entree's were not that great. There was a delay getting the main entree so they gave us a salad while we waited. I ordered my filet medium/well and it was completely well done. My husband said that his Moroccan chicken was bland. The service was fantastic, but for a fine dining place, they need to do better with the food."
Dined on 4/26/2013
With a new chef, the entrees seems
more focused on beef and less on game, and more dished have rich or creamy sauces (Mussels, which were good and not too rich; riccota and mushroom stuffed pasta with a cream sauce, which was a little short on mushroom flavor and the sauce a bit too rich for our tastes (but just fine for most folks). The lamb shank was tender but needed more sauce to punch up the flavor. Still a great place for dinner while staying at Lost Pines."

The Official 2013 Take-Home Pay Cut thread
I get paid semimonthly, just saw my first paycheck of the new year - with all the great "progressive" changes in taxation and healthcare coverage costs - and I can proudly say that I will be bringing home $230.10 LESS per month than I was in 2012. It feels great to be American today, and I can just smell that economic recovery right around the corner - can't you? BTW I am nowhere near halfway to the $250k threshold we once heard about, let alone among the 1%-ers.

I was exempt from paying medicare and social security taxes when I was a minor. I delievered newspapers when I was 11 (and held at least two jobs almost throughout the age of 12-18). and half of every check went into an investment fund. By the time I left for college I already had a nice size retirement account.

Doesn't matter, the tax revenue increase didn't do DICK for our country. Our budget is still close to twice as much as our revenue, and our debt is 7 or 8 times our revenue. We'd have to not spend a dime for 10 whole years to get out of this hole.

Haha - likewise - started my paper route when 11 and kept it until 19, worked part-time through college, including grad school, right up to the present day. Agree with fullmetal about the retirement scam - the 30- and 40-somethings will never see a f*k*g penny of the thousands and thousands we put into the "system." Fortunately I have a job I can work at until I die, and I fully plan to go out with my (hiking) boots on. Also agree with jimssouvenirs that this merely rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic - still, it has rustled my jimmies and I wanted to vent here...

Social Security Tax is at 6% now for the past 2 years (2011 & 2012) we paid 4% to help stimulate economy and bla bla bla prior to 2011 we always paid 6% so we got a 2 year break.....but to be fair, could've been lot worse as Social Security increased cost of living expenses to beneficiaries starting this year so....continue to spend your hard earned $$ on more vasoline for the American Government to keep taking it from you and their ain't a damn thing you can do about it!

This was a hot discussion in my Personal Finance class last semester (Business Major), it was predicted people would think they're taxes were raised, rather than a short-term tax cut expired.
Ok so the payroll tax or FICA cut expired (after it was cut in 2011 by the turrible President Obama) and the rate has returned to it's normal rate. Everyone begins to cry foul, although its back at its pre-2011 level. Taxes werent raised, the tax cut simply expired. This tax pays for social security as well as Medicare. There is no doubt that social security is in danger of running out in the mid 2030's under current projections, but this move was done to stimulate the economy in the short term rather than put money into the system over the long term. Social Security and Medicare are very important programs. However, they are flawed due to change in population and life expectancy. Luckily, something's can be done. They can either 1) Continue to raise the retirement age, 2) raise FICA taxes or 3) both. We need to decide which is most effective and reasonable for all parties involved. People need to stop playing victim and realize the bigger picture. More $ may need to be taken from you now in order to benefit you in the long term, as well as those less fortunate/skilled than you are. Also to the argument about privatizing your investment for social security, feel free to put $ in your 401k's and IRA's (I highly suggest everyone has a Roth IRA) however, trusting the average citizen to invest into an economy greatly increases the risk individuals are left with nothing when they reach their golden years. I would rather improve the current system which was worked pretty well, rather than create a new one. And for anyone interested, from the Washington post about the tax cut expiration: With the end of the payroll tax holiday, a worker earning $50,000, for instance, will pay $1,000 more in taxes this year; a worker earning less than $20,000 a year will pay about $100 more. Someone in the upper fifth of households, making $150,000 a year, will pay about $2,200 more.

I had this argument with my factually challenged brother the other day. He was crying about social security and how he was going to never get as much back as he paid into it... after I used an actually calculater to show him that for his working life he might put in maybe 30k but will get back over 300k+ over say 20 years. Then he called the unemployment office and filed for his check during his winter layoff....

Kaufman was first settled in 1840 by 40 families led by Dr. William P. King of Mississippi, who purchased land and built a fort on a hilltop that overlooked his new home. The area became known as Kings Fort, and grew into the town of Kingsboro. In 1848, the town was part of the land taken from Henderson County to establish Kaufman County, and the town took on this name when it became the county seat.
Today, this city southeast of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex is home to several historic churches, including The Church of Our Merciful Savior (built in 1909), 500 S. Jackson St.; First Presbyterian Church of Kaufman (built in 1877), 400 E. Mulberry; Grace Christian Church, 504 S. Houston; and the First United Methodist Church of Kaufman (built in 1909), 208 S. Houston St.
Greenslade Drug, a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, was built in 1891. The Greenslade family ran the drug store from 1919 until 2006, making it the oldest continuously operated family pharmacy in Texas. On the town square at 111 W. Mulberry St.

Cameras with built-in geotagging on horizon
Geotagging, in which digital photos are labeled with the location where they were taken, is mostly unfamiliar to photographers today. But new developments are likely going to put the technology on the map.
In interviews at the Photo Marketing Association trade show in Las Vegas recently, several camera executives expressed an interest in geotagging and some companies were demonstrating technology. It's clear that mainstream geotagging is a matter of when, not if.
The strongest evidence I encountered is Air Semiconductor, a start-up building a chip designed to let cameras process GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signals so latitude and … Read more

Elizabeth Smart Gives Advice to Evansdale Family, All Iowans
DES MOINES, Iowa - Elizabeth Smart was in Iowa Thursday to talk about how to better protect children.
"If my child was approached, I would tell them kick that person so hard, scratch their eyes out," said Smart. Smart toured the Blank Children's Hospital Regional Child Protection Center on Thursday that helps 1,300 children each year who are victims of sexual or physical abuse. She was abducted on June 5, 2002, at the age of 14, and was held prisoner for nine months before being reunited with her family. She said her mother's advice has helped her heal. "She said this man has stolen 9 months of your life. You will never get it back, but the best punishment I could give him is to be happy and follow my dreams and do what I want to," said Smart. Smart has become an advocate for strengthening child protection programs. Her advice to the Iowa families in Evansdale who have two missing girls is to hold onto hope that the cousins will be found. "It was two people who saw me with my captors and called police, who made the difference in my case," said Smart. She advises all Iowans to keep a watchful eye out for the missing girls. "Never give up, never think they're gone for good until they're found. You don't know they could very well come home," said Smart. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language. Share KnowledgeBe truthful.

Access "Superparamagnetic limit"
This article is part of the Vol. 1 No. 8 October 2002 issue of Tame the e-mail beast: Valuable e-mail management strategies
Superparamagnetic limit: The maximum areal density of a disk drive beyond which it can no longer reliably store data. It was once thought to be as low as 20Gb/in² to 40Gb/in², but there are disk drives currently shipping with densities close to 40Gb/in². Today, researchers believe the superparamagnetic limit to be around 150Gb/in² to 200Gb/in². Access >>>

Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers
Timeline of selection procedure |
Submit an application if you are a researcher from abroad with above average qualifications, at the beginning of your academic career and only completed your doctorate in the last four years. A Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers allows you to carry out a long-term research project (6-24 months) you have selected yourself in cooperation with an academic host you have selected yourself at a research institution in Germany.
Scientists and scholars of all nationalities and disciplines may apply to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation directly at any time. The Humboldt Foundation grants approximately 600 Humboldt Research Fellowships for postdoctoral researchers and experienced researchers annually. Short-term study visits, participation in congresses and training courses cannot be financed.
To apply, please only use the application documents which can be downloaded here.
Academics from developing and emerging countries may be eligible to apply for a Georg Forster Fellowship.
Other important details
- Complete application package (DOC/PDF/RTF)
- Programme Information (PDF)
Further information
- Doctorate or comparable academic degree (Ph.D., C.Sc. or equivalent), completed less than four years prior to the date of application. Candidates who have nearly completed their doctoral degrees are eligible to apply provided that they submit the manuscript of their dissertation or publications containing the results of their dissertation.
- Academic publications reviewed according to international standards and printed in journals and/or by publishing houses.
- Confirmation that research facilities are available and mentoring agreement and a detailed expert's report by an academic host at a research institution in Germany. Details of the research project and the proposed timetable must be discussed with the prospective host prior to application.
- Expert reviews from the doctoral supervisor and two other academics qualified to give well-founded comments on the applicant's eligibility, preferably including reviewers not working at the applicant's own institute.
- Language skills: scholars in the humanities or social sciences and physicians must have a good knowledge of German if it is necessary to carry out the project successfully; otherwise a good knowledge of English; scientists and engineers must have a good knowledge of German or English.
- Applications to continue a research stay already underway can only be considered in exceptional cases. The applicant may not have spent an extended period in Germany prior to application. Potential applicants who have been in Germany for more than six months at the time of application are not eligible to apply.
- The Humboldt Foundation assumes that candidates will abide by the Rules of Good Scientific Practice and the ethical rules of the 7th EU Framework Programme during the application and sponsorship periods.
Applications may be sent to the following address at any time:
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Selection Department,
Jean-Paul-Str. 12, 53173 Bonn, Germany
The complete application should be submitted to the Humboldt Foundation at least four to seven months ahead of the prospective selection date.
Timeline of selection procedure |
The Humboldt Foundation will confirm receipt of the application by email. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that he or she has submitted all the necessary documents. Applications not submitted as a single entity will take longer to process. Grossly incomplete applications will be returned to applicants unprocessed.
After providing all the documents and receipt of the host's statement, applicants will be notified about the proposed selection date. The application documents will then usually be forwarded to two independent reviewers for written review. On the basis of these independent peer reviews a selection committee composed of about 50 academics from all disciplines reaches a decision on approving research fellowships. The selection committee meets three times a year, in March, July and November. If an application has been approved a fellow arriving from abroad may start the fellowship two months after the selection meeting at the earliest. Fellows must start their fellowships within twelve months of the selection meeting; otherwise the fellowship will be forfeited.
When submitting applications candidates may also apply to be informed about the reasons for a rejection should their applications be turned down by the selection committee. In this case, applicants and their hosts will receive separate notification on this issue in addition to the selection decision approx. four to six weeks after the selection committee meeting. It is not possible to appeal. However, applicants who have been rejected may submit a revised application provided that fundamental aspects of the original application have been manifestly improved.

The Broncos defense came up with the big play it needed.
On third-and-7 from the Broncos 38-yard line, linebacker Joe Mays hit Bears running back Marion Barber, forcing a fumble that linebacker Wesley Woodyard recovered.
The Broncos start with the ball on their own 34-yard line, needing just a field goal to win. Denver is 2-0 in overtime this year, with wins in Miami and San Diego.

FAQ - Platinum Plus
Will I still get just one bill?
Yes! Your utility bill will include Platinum Plus to include the cost of their delivery service on our bill and you will continue to remit payment to your current utility provider.
Will the quality of gas/service I receive be different?
No. The natural gas we purchase for our customers come from the same sources as the gas utilities use. We use the same storage fields and transport it in the same interstate pipelines that utilities use. Our gas quality standards are the same as the utilities. Your utility will still read your meters, maintain your gas pipes, and respond to emergencies - that's what you pay them for.
Why can't Platinum Plus handle both my supply and delivery?
Gas utilities are regulated by the state. The utilities handle local delivery and the state regulators assure that their pricing is fair and equitable. Platinum Plus can't manage the utilities pipes, but we can purchase natural gas for our customers and arrange for the utility to deliver it to your meter with complete reliability.
Can Platinum Plus shut off my gas?
No, the control of gas service at your home or place of business remains with your utility. Regulators have assured that your gas supply will be continual even if your relationship with Platinum Plus were to end. You maintain the same consumer protections you have with your utility.
If I switch to Platinum Plus, can I decide later to return to the utility?
Yes. If for any reason you decide that you prefer having your gas supplied by the utility, you can switch back.
What will happen if Platinum Plus goes out of business?
In this unlikely situation, you may have an opportunity to select another supplier. If you don't have that opportunity, or if you decide not to select another supplier, your utility will provide the gas you use.
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you detect a strong odor of gas in your home or place of business you should leave immediately and call your utility from a safe location.
When I get my gas bill I see my consumption in "therms" or "CCFs" - what do these mean?
Your meter measures natural gas in intervals of one hundred cubic feet (CCF). If you use an average of 100 CCF per month (typical for a residential heating customer), that's enough natural gas to fill a ball with a diameter of nearly 27 feet. Some utilities use CCFs to calculate your bill, but most use therms. A therm equals 100,000 BTUs. A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit.

The ACHP is an independent federal agency that promotes preservation and sustainable use of our nation's historic resources and its members are appointed by President Obama.
The Council is required to develop and submit a plan to Congress by April 17, 2014 to make sure that the U.S. Postal Service follows the law in handling its historic buildings. The ACHP invited groups working on historic preservation to make presentations from 1:45-4:30 PM at the Dellums Federal Building, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland. The meeting is OPEN to the public. The public can also submit their concerns in writing.
The ACHP invites written comments from interested organizations and the public regarding the USPS's disposal of historic facilities for consideration as the ACHP prepares its report. Please provide any comments by April 1, 2014, by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by fax: 202-606-5072.

Support Tristan and loved ones as we mark five years since the shooting of Bay Area activist, Tristan Anderson. Tristan was severely injured when he was shot in the head with a (American made) tear gas grenade by Israeli Military Police during a protest in Occupied Palestine in 2009 in the village of Ni'ilin. Tristan became paralyzed on about half his body and lives with severe permanent injury to his brain.
We honor Tristan and rage at our own government for it's direct role in the misery of Gaza, the tear gas over Taksim, the police killings of Alan Blueford, Oscar Grant, Kenneth Harding Jr…
The US Government sends huge shipments of tear gas to be used against our sister movements around the world… what side are WE are?
4:00 PM: Free Feast.
5:00 PM: Speakers.
6:00 PM: March.
7:00 PM: Solidarity & Healing.
Come speak out on a "privacy policy" that allows the City of Oakland to violate our 1st and 4th amendment rights with impunity.
Staff is taking a new and aggressive approach to public engagement around this draft framework. Distribution of this framework will happen via EngageOakland, a survey monkey, and broad dissemination via the Neighborhood Service Coordinators. This framework is being disseminated for a thirty day public comment period. During that time period there will be two public meetings scheduled for Wednesday, February 26th in City Council Chambers, and Thursday, March 13th at the Dimond Branch Library located at 3565 Fruitvale Avenue. Both meetings will occur between 6 to 8pm.
"During Phase 2, City/Port staff will develop a Privacy and Data Retention Policy that governs the collection, retention, storage, and dissemination of information processed by the DAC ensuring the protection of privacy rights by individuals, and will return said policy to the Council for approval no later than March 2014."
We are a fellowship of people wanting to find aliveness, connection and survival in the face of social-political-economic overwhelm. We do this by recognizing and addressing our unspoken submission to historically entrenched, institutions and influences of the dominant culture. We observe cunning, baffling and powerful social ills perpetuated through inequities involving race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age and ability. We explore how these impact our thoughts feelings and personal habits. We hope that as each of us becomes free from acquisition driven, socially divisive, militarized forces, we can catalyze change and establish a new way of living with care for each other and the earth.
We work with a modified version of AA's twelve steps and traditions using practices of: anonymity, vulnerability in truth telling, intuitive inquiry, restorative amends, group service, non-hierarchical decision making and conscious action.
The first Recovery from the Dominant Culture meetings were created and held in west Oakland, Ca through Seminary of the Street. This flyer is a draft proposal for a new meeting in Berkeley. We welcome participation in the process of developing meeting agreements. And most of all we invite you to our upcoming meetings beginning on Saturday March 15th at 10 am
Draft Version. Edited, Feb, 2014,
1. We admitted we were powerless over our thoughts, feelings, desires and actions shaped by the dominant culture and that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to rebuild our lives, seeking truth, love, and discernment through connection with intuitive wisdom, Great Spirit, God, Goddess and/or a Higher Power of our choice.
4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of how we treat ourselves and relate with others.
5. Admitted to our Higher Power, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our thinking, feelings and actions based on dominant culture conditioning
6. Were entirely ready to have our Higher Power remove coping habits and addictions not in alignment with our integrity.
7. Humbly asked our Higher Power to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons, living beings and earth sources we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people, living beings and the earth wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when acting under the influence of dominant culture patterns we promptly admitted it and sought more conscious ways of interacting.
11. Sought through study, writing, art, prayer and/or meditation to improve our conscious contact with our Higher Power, and to identify new ways of participating in life affirming culture, holding our well being in balance with the well being of others.
12. Having experienced transformative change with these Steps, we practice these principles in all our affairs, carry this message to those interested, and engage in actions that embody an alternative to the addictive processes of the dominant culture
What: Don't Frack California
Where: The Capitol Lawn, Sacramento, CA
The Plan:
Our plan so far is to get as many voices as we can to Sacramento to make it loud and clear to Governor Brown and his administration that Californians want an end to fracking in our state. We'll be hearing from voices from all over the state who are witnessing fracking in their own communities and organizing against it. Our goal, is to show the overwhelming number of Californians who will take the long trek to Sacramento to make it clear that climate leader's don't frack.
We'll have more information on our program as we get closer to the event.
If you need a ride or a place to stay in Sacramento, check out our ride board.
How you can help:
We need folks to help organize and coordinate buses from all over the state. If you're interested in becoming a bus captain email our Bus Coordinator, Tia at email@example.com

Strike Debt New York City has completed its work on the 2nd edition of the Debt Resistors' Operations Manual (DROM). Come learn about the new edition, about Strike Debt, and meet cool people who are helping in the international struggle against oppressive and immoral debt.
Music, food, and short talks by a couple famous activists (waiting for confirmation before naming them), and the opportunity to purchase the 2nd edition DROM at a sliding scale are all "on the agenda."
This manual—written by an anonymous collective of resistors, defaulters, and allies from Strike Debt and Occupy Wall Street—aims to provide specific tactics for understanding and fighting against the debt system. You'll find detailed strategies and resources for dealing with credit card, medical, student, housing and municipal debt, tactics for navigating the pitfalls of personal bankruptcy, and information to help protect yourself from predatory lenders. Recognizing that individually we can only do so much to resist the system of debt, the manual also introduces ideas for those who have made the decision to take collective action.
Strike Debt supports the creation of just and sustainable economies, based on mutual aid, common goods, and public affluence. We owe the financial institutions nothing. It is to our friends, families and community that we owe everything.

Are screens interchangeable?
hi all,
I have a blackberry curve 8530 that I LOVE, but sadly it got ran over and the screen got smashed. I have an old blackberry tour 9630 that i used to use, but I dislike many things about that tour (bulkier, stoopid roller ball, and the overall layout of it) I was wondering, before I go to the trouble to take the phones apart : Are the LCD screens on the blackberry curve 8530 and the blackberry tour 9630 compatible/interchangable?
