Two children who just lost their mother to cancer have now lost their father too. A pair of violent overnight home invasions left a St. Pete man dead.
According to investigators, the first crime happened around 4:20 a.m. at a home on 1st Street N. Several armed suspects shouting, "Police, police, police!" broke into a house and demanded jewelry before fleeing.
Less than a half-hour later, several armed suspects broke into a home on Orpine Drive and demanded cash or drugs, also shouting that they were with police. Homeowner Richard Shaw, who was at home with one of his sons, was shot during the robbery.
The 41-year-old was taken to Northside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The murder comes just eight days after the death of Tory Shaw, Richard's wife. She passed away last Monday after a long bout with cancer. Now, the couple's three sons have lost both of their parents.
A neighbor said the Shaws had lived at the home for 18 years, and hinted at trouble involving the couple's sons.
"As far as Rick Shaw was concerned, no drugs on him, no drugs in his system. Guns, maybe. Because he had to protect [himself]. He's had this happen before. He just got stabbed a week or a month ago over this with his kids. He did have to go out and get protection and there was concern. Now this has happened and it's just awful," offered Timothy Bidwell.
Police say they two crimes seem to be the work of the same suspects. Investigators say they are studying surveillance video in hopes of extracting some description of the masked suspects.
Detectives believe the victims in both cases were specifically targeted, but they did not elaborate.

The New Orleans Saints wont see the postseason this year, but quarterback Drew Brees has a new record to add to the multitudes he's already broken -- throwing for 5,000 yards in a second consecutive season.
Brees is the first quarterback to ever throw for 5,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Dan Marino threw for 5,000 in 1984, but was unable to match the mark in 1985. Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford is trying to do the same for Detroit, where he needs another 200 yards to join Brees.
The Saints' season may be over, but with Sean Payton returning long term and Brees playing as well as ever, the future is bright for 2013 and beyond.

Soldiers over politicians
EDITOR: In rebuttal to Jim Minton ("Guns and ammo," Letters, Thursday):
First, there are no "former Marines." Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Second, the Marine in Wednesday's photo offered his life so that we may continue to exercise our constitutional rights. If he wants to "get the feel" of a gun in a gun shop, God bless him. It's his right, more so than most, to do so. It would be the beginning of the downfall of our form of government to deny him or anyone else their Second Amendment rights.
Third, it is not inconceivable that the FBI could be ordered to go door-to-door confiscating guns. The first doors they'll knock on are those of registered gun owners.
Who would have thought the National Security Agency would collect our phone or email exchanges or the Internal Revenue Service would single out an applicant for tax-exempt status based on the perceived political affiliation of that applicant?
It may be wiser not to trust government, or should I say not trust those people in control of government and instead rely on the lessons of history to guide our actions?
No, I'll put my faith in that Marine or soldier or sailor before I'd put it with any politician.
Improving the lake
EDITOR: I keep seeing pictures of Lake Mendocino with really low levels, and it makes me wonder. Why aren't they using this opportunity to grade the lake and remove dirt to increase the holding capacity of the lake? Also could the dirt be used to raise the dam level?
Spirit of giving
EDITOR: When our home burned, we lost everything that we and our children have accumulated over the years that made us comfortable and defined us as a family ("Couple escape fire, home destroyed," Dec. 11). Christmas looked bleak as we faced the daunting process of getting the basic necessities, let alone trying to replace presents and decorations. We also had the task of finding a place where the six of us could be together during the holidays.

Martin Prado scored in the first inning on an RBI groundout off the bat of Jason Heyward to give the Atlanta Braves a 1-0 lead over the New York Mets. That was all the Braves would need as Mike Minor and four relievers combined for a five-hit shutout against the Mets on Saturday.
Prado would give the Braves a 2-0 lead in the fifth with an RBI double. Meanwhile, Minor was dealing. He allowed three hits over 6 ⅓ innings to improve to 11-10 on the season. He has won his last five decisions. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth to pick up his 41st save. Chipper Jones, who is playing his final regular-season series in Atlanta, was 0-4.
Mets starter Chris Young pitched well, allowing only the two runs over his six innings, but the Mets offense couldn't take advantage of the strong effort.
With the victory the Braves moved to 92-66 and have already clinched the top wild card slot in the National League.

Reviews for Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sort By :
Soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Doesn't get much better then that. These are delicious.
Cookies were tasty, but I did not like their appearance. i would recommend lightly spraying baking sheets with Pam. 10 minutes baking time was WAY too long in my oven! 7-8 minutes was plenty. Cookies were very flat, fragile and had to be removed from pan very gently. I'm afraid I won't be making these again...
Wow!! These cookies are out of this world! Out of all the chocolate chip cookies I have made in the past, these are definitely the best. I highly recommend everyone to make these. You won't be disappointed. Very easy to make, too!
These were very bland considering they have both vanilla extract and vanilla pudding in them. I even used 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
My family and co-workers love these cookies! These are my families all time favorite chocolate chip cookies now. I will have to try the white choc chips and toffee bits next time. Sounds so good. Thanks for sharing.

|Surveys say Ohio's business environment improving greatly
|Wednesday, May 08, 2013 12:39 AM
DHI Correspondent
COLUMBUS - The opinion of CEOs about the business climate in Ohio is improving.
The annual survey of top executives by Chief Executive Magazine shows Ohio as improving more than any other state. The Buckeye State jumped to the 22nd ranking for business climate in the 2012 survey. That is 13 places higher than in 2011 when Ohio was ranked 35th, and 22 slots better than 2010 when the state rated a dismal 44th.
Ohio Gov. John R. Kasich was happy to hear the news.
"It's great for Ohio workers when the nation's CEOs see Ohio more and more as one of the best places in the country to do business. It's incredibly gratifying to see all of our hard work continue to pay off like that. We're achieving what we set out to do: get Ohio back on track by creating a jobs-friendly climate. We're not there yet and we've got a lot of work still to do, but we're making real progress and it's great news for Ohio's families," Kasich commented in a released statement.
The second highest jump for any state was six positions, with Minnesota going from 36th to 30th.
Several comments from CEOs who completed the survey were quite positive. "Ohio is doing some amazing things to attract and support a pro-business climate," said one. Another added, "Ohio has made a dramatic turnaround under Republican leadership."
Another comment was not as positive, as one CEO stated, "Ohio's lack of 'right to work' regulations and high utility costs make it increasingly more unattractive for capital investment."
Overall, the report summarized Ohio's progress as positive, noting, "Business appreciates Gov. Kasich's help despite lots of legacy obstacles."
One of Ohio's biggest concerns in attracting new business to the state lies directly to the west. Indiana was ranked as having the 5th-best climate for business in the U.S.
The top four states for business did not change rankings since last year's survey. The best states for business were once again, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The four states with the worst business climate also did not change since last year. California ranked dead last, followed by New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts.
Ohio's positive trend for business was reinforced in another just-released survey. Thumbtack.com and the Kaufman Foundation surveyed small business owners about the state's friendliness to small business. That survey showed Ohio moving up from a poor D+ ranking last year to a C+ this time around.
Each category of the survey for Ohio showed improvement. Ease of starting a small business, ease of hiring, regulations, health and safety, employment, labor and hiring regulations, tax code, licensing, environmental laws, zoning, and training and networking programs scores were combined to come up with a C+ grade on overall friendliness.

Lets hope this is the last event of this type. The parents must ensure that their children realise the gravity of this behaviour. Nothing must be thrown from bridges however seemingly harmless the item might appear.

A Distinguished Service Cross ceremony Wednesday honored a fallen Fort Campbell soldier who gave his life to save 12 Afghan Army partners.
When Audrey Shaw tells her three little girls about their father, Staff Sgt. Eric Shaw of Fort Campbell, she tells them he was a man with a booming voice who could make anyone laugh and who sacrificed his life saving others.
"They have a lot of questions now, especially my oldest," said Audrey Shaw. "She was five when he was killed."
In June 2010, while serving in Afghanistan, a platoon of Afghan Army partners were cut off from Eric Shaw's squad, putting them in the line of enemy fire. Eric Shaw went back and rallied the 12 Afghan soldiers, but in saving their lives, Eric Shaw was hit by enemy fire and killed.
"His last words to me before he went over were, 'My cross to bear,'" said Eric Shaw's mother, Michele Campbell. "It never meant much until after. I couldn't be more proud. These Afghan soldiers, I hope they're holding their heads high."
Standing at the front of Fort Campbell's Liberty Chapel, Eric Shaw's family was presented the Distinguished Service Cross for Eric Shaw's actions in combat. Audrey Shaw said this will be something she can share with her daughters to let them truly know their father.
"They're proud of their daddy," said Audrey Shaw. "They're very proud. They know he did a wonderful thing, especially when we explained what this award is about and not very many people get to get this award."
"We love him dearly," added Campbell. "We'll never forget him. He's everything. He's our world, and I'm so proud he's a beautiful hero."

CHARITY MATTERS:Cheering for baby Anthony
4:00pm Friday 9th November 2012 in News
Buy this photo Front, Anthony Brine with his parents Daniela and Richie and brother Shane. Picture: OX55190 Jon Lewis
THEY jumped around, waved pom poms and built up a sweat, and all to help a baby with an incurable skin condition.
Baby Anthony Brine and his mum Daniela watched dad Richard, 32, and five-year-old brother Shane join a group to take part in a Cheerobics session.
Anthony, almost six months, has Epidermolysis Bullosa, EB, a genetic condition where the skin and internal body linings blister at the slightest knock.
The condition is life-limiting and has no cure. His family want to raise as much cash as possible for charity Debra, which is researching to find a cure.
When members of gym Evolve Fitness, Murdock Road, heard about the tot's plight they staged the event to raise £400.
Anthony's skin is so delicate Mrs Brine, 24, of Ambrosden, near Bicester, will never be able to cuddle her baby son properly. She and her soldier husband have been trained how to hold him so he cannot wriggle and hurt himself.
Mrs Brine said: "I was very kind of them to do it. I didn't know any of them, so it was really nice of them to come out and help."

- high-level athlete in the Slovenian army

Imaginary and real
"In his book The Alchemist, Paul Coelho says, "When you want something, all the universe conspires to help us achieve our dream." There is truth in that quote. For example, a photo of a wall inspires me and I do everything to fulfill my dream of climbing it.
I was born under the sign of Capricorn and also under the highest mountain in Slovenia (Triglav, 2864m) so perhaps climbing is in my genes and it's because of this that I better understand the positive effects of this sport on the body and spirit. I started climbing in the mountains at the age of 10 with my Dad. I soon realized that sport climbing is really exciting and I started training for my first competitions.
I love adventure, to discover the lost places like El Gigante in Mexico or Tadratate in Morocco where you can rely only on yourself and your climbing partner, where you feel really close to nature and where you must search a little to find the route."
My lifestyle: carpe diem!
"I live in the mountains. But I really discovered climbing in Austria when I was 11 years old while visiting a holiday camp. I fell in love with this sport! I wanted to climb all the time and I forced my father to take me to the cliffs. I knew right away that climbing was my life and I could not see myself doing anything else. It is simply an activity I can't do without. There are so many walls to discover, so many challenges that after a bit of work become feasible. I want to learn every day. The movements of this sport are so complex that I want to master them all. And then, there are all these exciting thoughts in my head, like for example: on a difficult route, well above my last piece of protection, to be able to stay calm and at the same time have the feeling of accomplishment on the project."
"Yoga is a good compliment to climbing. I love starting the day, early in the morning, when only the birds are awake. I prepare my body and my spirit for the challenges of the day. In addition, I also love to skydive. The sensation of falling into the void is like a drug."
Like a Zen garden…
"Most of my favorite landscapes are in peaceful valleys far from the commercial and crazy world. For example, Taghia in Morocco where the lifestyle is very simple: no telephone, no Internet, no car… And also in worlds like El Gigante in Mexico. There are also many beautiful places like the south of France: Saint Léger, Buoux, Saint Guilhem le Désert. And then close to my home, there is a climbing school called Warmbad.
In other places like Yosemite, you can meet the entire global climbing community, which is great because we talk about sequences and routes. We interact with people who understand us 100 %."
My community
"Above all, I feel committed and involved in the climbing community, particularly my friends on the Slovenian climbing team with whom I have shared so many years of competition and climbing. I find that those who share the passion for climbing represent one big family. I especially feel that when I am in the United States where I was alone once without a climbing partner. I didn't have any problem finding one and the feeling I had was like we already knew each other. My lifestyle allows me to be in contact with people who practice other adventure-related sports: climbing, skydiving, BASE jumping. Many of them are not professionals; they have successful careers in medicine, architecture, engineering… These are people whose lives are very rich and filled with experiences. Sport and career go well together and represent a nice balance."

Martina and the Petzl team
"Climbing is one of the basic human instincts, it's in our nature. It's for this reason that climbing is an essential sport. In addition to the Petzl equipment, it's mainly about sharing my passion and my experiences with others. I want as many people as possible to become familiar with climbing and to discover the positive effects of this sport on the body and spirit. The Petzl Team gives us the opportunity to discover new climbing spots and to share unforgettable moments with "the family of climbers." The spirit in this Team is really good. To share the same passion with the same motivation, we have the chance to push our limits. The Team also allows us to encourage a lot of people to practice the sport and thus have a healthier lifestyle."

Chickamauga Battlefield is already preparing for this fall's festivities marking 150 years since the Civil War.
A group of contractors just finished a $65,000 project to repair a special monument at the historic battlefield.
A monument for Union General William Lytle was falling apart until about a month ago when the park asked three men from Lookout Metal Works to help with repairs.
"It's a big challenge. One of the biggest challenges I've ever done figuring out a way to do this."
Stacking cannonballs is a first for Mark Phillips. He owns Lookout Metal Works: a job that's never required him to build a pyramid of cannonballs. But Phillips had help from his two brother-in-laws, Lee and Tracey Collins. And for 10 hours a day for 30 days, the three worked to restore General Lytle's monument.
Executive Director of Friends of the Park Patrice Glass said the group raised the $65,000 needed to complete the project and that 80 percent of the funds came from outside the local area.
Lytle's monument marks the area where the Union leader died in 1863.
"He was leading the charge against the Confederacy when he fell off his horse and fell in this area here," said Park Superintendent Cathy Cook.
For Phillips, the project is personal. His fourth great-grandfather fought against Lytle at Chickamauga. Now he's repairing the 120-year-old monument in the same spot.
"The Confederacy even thought a lot of him. When he died here, the confederates guarded his body and waited for the Unions to come get him," Phillips said.
The restoration was badly needed. Over the years park officials said the cannonballs were either stolen or moved to other monuments.
"It was just a flat layer of balls with the tablet that goes on the front here flat down on the balls, about 130 balls flat there across the base. Now it stands pretty tall you know," Phillips said.
Phillips taught himself to stack cannonballs, adding more layers to monument: 323 balls in total art 50 pounds a piece.
And as the guys put on the final coat of paint, they reflect on repairing a piece of history thousands will soon enjoy.
"I guess the biggest part for me was just reaching back in time and getting my hands on it," Lee Collins said. "You can't describe the feeling you have of working on a monument for someone that was so well loved on both sides."
The monument is scheduled to be rededicated September 20, 150 years after Gen. Lytle's death.
Glass said the Jewell Memorial Restoration Fund was recently created to help preserve the park's historic monuments and landscape.

A band of service members returning from World war II with spinal cord injuries founded Paralyzed Veterans in 1946. In over 6 decades, this organization has developed a unique expertise on issues affecting service members with special needs. As it has expanded to include 34 chapters, Paralyzed Veterans has remained dedicated to creating an environment in America where veterans and all those with disablities can lead fulfilling, independent, and productive lives. Paralyzed Veterans is a tireless advocate for health care, spinal cord injury research, accessibility and the removal of architectural barriers, sports programs, and disability rights.
Paralyzed Veterans has been a long-standing partner of Richard Petty. "Our partnership ...has been great for paralyzed veterans," said Paralyzed Veterans of America National President Randy L. Pleva, Sr. "We've seen an increase in awareness about our mission since we aligned with 'The King.'"
Richard Petty Motorsports' partnership with Paralyzed Veterans in 2012 on the No. 43 car driven by Aric Almirola and into the future will continue to bring the causes of Paralyzed Veterans into the winner's circle.

There are lots of articles and math done on how the universe was created. Almost all of these focus on how matter was created, along with lots of effort on describing and unifying the 4 known forces.
But the really difficult and fundamental question to me is, "How was space created? " Assume you want to create the universe and have to start someplace, where do you start, by building the box, or building the contents?
Does anyone know of any theoretical work on how space would have been created, what energy would it take, and speculation on where it would come from?
The idea I am thinking of is if you imagine that the whole universe had only 1 cubic meter of space to contain all the matter, there would have been no effective gravity or black holes problem because there would be a total uniformity of force, all particles would not experience any net gravity from any direction. Then if you create space in this solid volume of mass, the mass is not really expanding, as much as space is being created such that it appears that the mass is blowing up when in reality it is space that is increasing giving the apparent effect that every particle is moving away from each other.
The galaxies are still in movement away from each other, would that be explainable and consistent if space was still being created at a constent rate uniformly throught the universe? How would we be able to detect the difference?

The Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday for the second time in a week to repeal its ban on medical marijuana storefronts, ending any uncertainty that the lack of unanimity in last week's vote might change the Council's decision on the issue.
Without any discussion, the Council voted 11-1 in a so-called "second reading" vote to overturn a "Gentle Ban" ordinance it had introduced in July to outlaw the sale of medical marijuana in storefronts—without preventing cannabis patients from cultivating their own marijuana in collectives of three or less individuals.
The only dissenting vote came from Council member Joe Buscaino, who had voted against repealing the ban last week as well, along with Council member José Huizar. (Last Tuesday's 11-2 vote forced it into a "second reading," which requires only eight votes for the issue to be settled.)
Huizar, one of the key architects of the Gentle Ban ordinance, was absent during the Oct. 9 vote, according to Rick Coca, the communications director for his office. Council members Bernard Parks and Jan Perry were also reportedly absent.
In a statement issued by his office, Huizar reiterated that medical marijuana storefronts are illegal under state law and that "nothing the City Council did" about the issue changes that reality.
"At this point, I'm more concerned with enforcement on illegal, for-profit dispensaries, which the federal government is currently engaged in," Huizar said, referring to lawsuits that federal prosecutors filed against three Eagle Rock-based pot clinics on Sept. 25—part of a wider enforcement action against 70 other cannabis storefronts in the city. The federal crackdown came about a week after marijuana advocates submitted enough signatures in a petition to force a referendum on the city's ban on such businesses.
"While I support the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, the state needs to create a better way of providing access for seriously ill patients while removing the scores of profiteers and recreational users who currently dominate the market," Huizar said, adding that he was encouraged by the unanimous support for a resolution that he helped introduce in the Council last week, urging the state legislature to streamline state law regarding the cultivation and distribution of marijuana.
The council's vote came the same day Council member Bill Rosendahl, who has been using marijuana as he battles cancer, disseminated a letter informing constituents that he would not seek a third term on the City Council.
Rosendahl attacked President Barack Obama's decision last year to start going after medical marijuana dispensaries.
Marijuana advocates hailed Tuesday's widely expected decision by the City Council, saying it would allow safe access for critically ill cancer, AIDS and other sick patients.
"The will of this Council, evident by the ban's repeal, is for limited, safe access within our city,'' said Yami Bolanos, president of the Greater Los Angeles Collective Alliance. "We call upon the federal government to respect their position—we urge them to immediately cease and desist from the threats and intimidation tactics directed at Los Angeles operators and their landlords.''
A plan by Council member Paul Koretz that would allow the operation of about 125 dispensaries that were open before Sept. 14, 2007, when the city placed a moratorium on new dispensaries, is expected to come before the City Council in early November. The plan would place strict regulations on dispensaries regarding location, hours of operation and required security.

text: Home- Alumni- Stay Involved- Event Gateway- Getting Started Getting Started Planning Tips: How Do I Get Started? Interested alumni can submit their event request online. The alumni relations office will create an event page, RSVP tracking, e-mail invites, and process payments as needed. All event requests are subject to review by the Office of Alumni Relations. Who Is My Intended Audience? Events can consist of intimate gatherings with Colgate friends or larger gatherings that include all alumni in the area, alumni and parents, alumni only, or certain class years. Please note that parents are invited to most alumni events. They enjoy being included in activities and learning more about the university where their son or daughter is spending some of the most significant years of their lives. When Do I Want to Hold This Event? Be sure to have enough time to make all of the necessary arrangements and give alumni plenty of notice. Keep several dates in mind in case the venue is previously booked. Also check to make sure that it does not conflict with another Colgate event, religious or federal holiday, or school vacation. Many program planners find it helpful to plan backwards, starting at the day of the event, filling in details, until arriving at today's date. For example: Ten weeks before event: determine format (theme, activities, etc.), invite any guest speakers, select venue Eight weeks before event: confirm date with speaker and venue, submit details to Office of Alumni Relations to draft invitation Six weeks before event: mail invitations, recruit volunteers to assist on the day of the event, submit details for event e-mail to the Office of Alumni Relations. Three weeks before event: phone and e-mail tree to extend personal invitation two weeks before event: confirm speaker's transportation needs, purchase thank you gift, confirm A/V and catering needs with venue.

You've may have heard of the bridezilla or been unlucky enough to witness one with your own two eyes: the cake smashing, always agitated, incredibly opinionated, princess in white cracking under the pressure of her big day.
And while it's hard to believe there would ever be a male equivalent, there is.
The groomzilla: just as terrifying as his female counterpart, always in control, or really out of control, and detail obsessed.
Jeff Trinci, the creator of the Groom's List -- a men's wedding advice website, describes the groomzilla is a fairly new phenomenon. As older men marry and pick up a larger chunk of the bill, they want more of a say. And sometimes, the stress of the wedding takes over.
A study done by the research marketing firm Mintel shows, 32 percent of men find wedding planning overwhelming. It is a not-so-surprising reality considering that same study showed: 39 percent of men are mostly responsible for picking the ceremony site, 25 percent have to choose the bridal party gifts, and a whopping 19 percent of men are in charge of choosing the bride's wedding dress.
Need a visual? Music superstar Kanye West is engaged to Kim Kardashian. Jordanna Lippe of In Touch magazine says that Kanye's recent philosophy is go big or go home. She says he's a total groomzilla, he's into details, and he wants it to be the fashion event of the year. So he's in control of the guest list and Kim's dress. Lippe says Kanye's over-the-top proposal at AT&T Ball Park in San Fransisco is as a prime example of Kanye's "go big or go home" approach.
And he isn't the only one.
How about Brad Pitt? Sure, he's been married before so he shouldn't fit the mold. But he, like many celebrity men, is a control freak -- and that's not something he can turn off when the wedding bells chime.
"Celebrity men want to have total control of their lives and their careers -- so when it comes time to getting married, of course they are going to want total control over that," Lippe says. "It just seems to be very popular in the celebrity world that men are becoming groomzillas."

SPCC Rule Compliance Dates
SPCC Compliance Date Extension for Farms
EPA Extends SPCC Rule's Compliance Date for Certain Facilities
On October 7, 2010, EPA maintained the November 10, 2010, compliance date for drilling, production or workover facilities that are offshore or that have an offshore component, and for onshore facilities required to have and submit Facility Response Plans (FRPs). However, EPA extended the compliance date an additional year for all other facilities to amend or develop a SPCC Plan until November 10, 2011.
EPA also delayed the SPCC compliance date by which a facility must address milk and milk product containers, associated piping and appurtenances constructed according to current applicable 3-A Sanitary Standards, and that are subject to the current applicable Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) or equivalent State regulatory requirement. The date is delayed one year from the effective date of a final rule specifically addressing these milk and milk product containers.
The amendments do not remove the regulatory requirement for owners or operators of facilities in operation before August 16, 2002, to maintain and continue implementing an SPCC Plan in accordance with the SPCC regulations then in effect. Such facilities continue to be required to maintain Plans during the interim until the applicable compliance date for amending and implementing the amended Plans.
The purpose of the SPCC rule is to establish requirements for facilities to prevent a discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. Deep water drilling, production or workover facilities are typically not subject to EPA jurisdiction and will not be impacted by this action.
Regulation: Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule - Final Amendments (PDF) (11 pp, 183K)
Fact Sheet: Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Compliance Date Extension - Final Rule (PDF) (2 pp, 51K)
What are the compliance dates for SPCC facilities?
|A facility, including a mobile or portable facility, starting operation...
On or before August 16, 2002
Maintain its existing SPCC Plan
After August 16, 2002 through November 10, 2011
Prepare and implement an SPCC Plan no later than November 10, 2011
After November 10, 2011 (excluding production facilities)
Prepare and implement an SPCC Plan before beginning operations
|After November 10, 2011 (production facilities)
|Prepare and implement an SPCC Plan within six months after beginning operations.*
*Note: EPA recognizes that for some oil fields, based on the often variable conditions of the oil reservoir, the type and proportion of products may be uncertain until after the process of extraction has started. On December 5, 2008 (73 FR 74236), EPA finalized an amendment to allow a new oil production facility (i.e., one that becomes operational after the compliance date).
Which SPCC facilities remain subject to the November 10, 2010, compliance date?
|A drilling, production or workover facility, including a mobile or portable facility, located offshore or with an offshore component; or an onshore facility that is required to have and submit FRPs starting operation...
On or before August 16, 2002
Maintain its existing SPCC Plan
After August 16, 2002 through November 10, 2010
Prepare and implement an SPCC Plan no later than November 10, 2010
After November 10, 2010 (excluding production facilities)
Prepare and implement an SPCC Plan before beginning operations
|After November 10, 2010 (production facilities)
|Prepare and implement an SPCC Plan within six months after beginning operations.
2009 SPCC Compliance Date Amendment
On June 19, 2009, EPA published in the Federal Register a SPCC compliance date extension for all facilities until November 10, 2010. Facilities must amend or prepare, and implement SPCC Plans by the compliance date in accordance with revisions to the SPCC rule promulgated since 2002. Farms must also amend or prepare their SPCC Plans, and implement those Plans by the same date.
On July 17, 2002, EPA published a final rule that amended the SPCC regulations (67 FR 47042), which became effective on August 16, 2002. The final rule included compliance dates in §112.3 for preparing, amending, and implementing SPCC Plans. The original compliance dates were amended on January 9, 2003 (68 FR 1348), again on April 17, 2003 (68 FR 18890), a third time on August 11, 2004 (69 FR 48794), a fourth time on February 17, 2006 (71 FR 8462), a fifth time on May 16, 2007 (72 FR 27443), and a sixth time on June 19, 2009 (74 FR 29136).

Tickets Go On Sale June 26
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Meijer LPGA Classic presented by Kraft has partnered with General Mills to provide a community concert featuring some of country music's biggest stars – Gary Allan and Big & Rich – on Aug. 9 at Fifth Third Ballpark, tournament officials announced today.
Country music fans will recognize Gary Allan on the heels of his newly-released album, "Set You Free," which recently reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. Multi-platinum fan favorites, Big & Rich, will also take to the stage to entertain the crowd.
"We promised that the Meijer LPGA Classic presented by Kraft was going to offer something for everyone in the Grand Rapids community, and we aim to deliver," Meijer President J.K. Symancyk said. "Thanks to our partnership with General Mills, this community concert is another exciting way for Meijer to strengthen the communities where our customers and team members work and live."
Like the tournament, proceeds from the community concert will support local food pantries in the communities Meijer serves through its Simply Give program. The Simply Give program has generated more than $9 million for food pantries in the Midwest since its inception in November 2008.
"We are excited to see the two events come together and look forward to seeing golf and music fans enjoy a week of festivities in Grand Rapids," Tournament Director Lesley Baker said.
Concert tickets will go on sale on June 26 at www.meijerlpgaclassic.com and will start at $10 each.
The LPGA Tour event will host a full-field of 144 players playing 72 holes of stroke play over four days of competition at Blythefield Country Club, August 7-10. The tournament marks the tour's first stop in Michigan since 2000 when the Oldsmobile Classic in East Lansing ended its 9-year-run, as well as the first annual golf event in Michigan's Lower Peninsula since 2009 when the PGA Tour hosted the Buick Open in Grand Blanc.
