LBP 1.06 Patch now live, contains moderation fixes
Dec 18th 2008 - 6:52 PM
The LittleBigPlanet 1.06 patch is now live. It's the biggest patch so far, weighing in at 25Mb.
Here are the official patch notes for this update.
The latest update (1.06) brings in some much requested changes to LBP's moderation system. While the rules of what is and is not acceptable content for people to share have not changed, we have listened to your feedback and have made the following changes :
- Moderated levels will now receive more detailed information once action has been taken
- The notification message will remain in place on screen, removing the chance that affected users miss the message
- Any moderated level can now be accessed for editing by the creator, whether online or offline
- Additional information is now displayed on the "Good Grief" screen advising users on how the grief reporting functions, and warns against making spurious reports
We're pretty chuffed about this update, it looks like Media Molecule have added some excellent features to the game which should help improve the game no end. And just in time for Christmas!
It's also good to note that this patch 1.06 has a codename of Emmental. Little Big Planet updates are named after different cheeses, and Media Molecule have enticingly revealed that LBP patch 1.07 is called Roqueforte. So, hopefully that means it will pack a punch. A great big, fat, mouldy, smelly punch. Judging by their comments in the blog post, that looks like it will be the case:
I've got the notes for 1.07 (Roqueforte) in front of me at the moment and that is a little more exciting. More news soon(-ish)!
Keep an eye out for 1.07 coming up soon then. Fingers crossed its that HDD Image Import option that was slated for a Dec release.

Hobie Revolution 11, New Hobie Kayak
For all you Kayaker out there this is the new Hobie Revolution 11. This interview was done in New Orleans with Morgan and Alice.
At only 47lbs it is a compact version of the original 13′ Revolution.
New Daiwa Saltiga 2011 with mag sealed system, ICAST 2011
Daiwa came out with the new Saltiga at the ICAST 2011 show this past summer in Las Vegas. In this reel is the mag seal technology. It uses a type of liquid magnet to form a water proof seal around the bearings of the reel. With any new technology comes R&D cost and this reel was not cheap by any means. They are priced about $1000.00 to $1499.00.
I do have to admit though it's pretty darn smooth plus the bonus of having the bling factor to impress your friends.
Here is a video I put together while I attended a writer's the past couple days down in Naples. I had one of the writers demonstrate the reels for me while I did quick video demonstrating the mag seal technology.
ICAST 2011: Vest Pac, Best Fly Fishing Accessory winner
One of the winners of the ICAST 2011 show is the VESTPAC. A versatile custom configurable chest pack that can be used for all kinds of activities.
Adventure racing, wading, fishing, kayak, climbing, paddle boarding, biking just to name a few.
What set this bag apart from the ones that are already on the market is that they are:
less bulky
less weight
super breathable
They are available at: http://www.vestpac.com
I think these would be awesome for wade fishing in the Tampa Bay area or most places in Florida actually. Snook on the beach, pot hole fishing for redfish and trout and kayak fishing.
Even poling on the back of the skiff would work to keep your phone or cameras handy.
ICAST 2011, Seaguar Kanzen Braid
Seaguar has always been known as the leader in Fluorocarbon but they have yet to come out with a braided line. They are so dominant in the fluorocarbon if you google Fluorocarbon they are the number one link only next to Wikipedia.
For the 40th anniversary they have debut the Kanzen, their premier entry into the braid market.
8lb to 200lb test from 150 yards to 500 yard spool.
They were cool enough to give me a couple spools to use and test out. From my first impression, it is very thin and slick.
ICAST 2011 Coverage: Power-Pole C Monster remote control
Power-Pole C-monster remote control.. this is the coolest remote control I've seen to date.
Point it down push the button the pp goes down. point it up it goes up. Lean left, control left power pole, lean right control right power pole.
Truly innovative from PP.
ICAST 2011, Shimano, Daiwa, Okuma, TFO new reels
For more real time updates go to the facebook page:
ICAST 2011, Shimano, Daiwa, Okuma , TFO new reels
Here are all the new reels from Shimano, Daiwa,tfo and Okuma..this is literally hot right off the press. Being hot off the press have not had time to go through and decipher all the information.
I basically took photos of all the new reels and took photos of the information page.
I am typing this on my laptop in the rental car.
I will have to through them all later when I have time. I just wanted to get this up for you guys asap.
New is the Shimano Talica 50 2, Talica 50 II
Daiwa Saltiga Satg500H
Okuma Raw 2 mooching reel
2011 Okuma Cedros baitcaster
TFO BVK fly reel for 2012
Shimano Chronarch 200 e6
Shimano Sustain 2500 fg
Daiwa Z action Casting reel
Daiwa Certate ct2500ha
Daiwa Ballistic bls2500sh
ICAST 2011 gear Vortex Line Guide by Malin
To be introduced at ICAST 2011 this week the Vortex Line Guide. Works with all spinning rods:
VLG's are designed to increase shing line speeds as they pass through the vortex, and work with
any line type. They physically concentrate or focus the line towards the target. VLG's increase
casting distances and accuracy by 20% or more. In addition, they remove slack line coming o
and going on the reel, reducing the dreaded wind knots.
New Gloomis Rods for 2011 that is better than the flagship GLX series. ICAST 2011 goodies.
July 8th 2010
As I get ready for ICAST next week I ask people what they wanted me to check out. One of which is the new G.Loomis series of rods(which is now owned by Shimano).
According to the advertisement so far it has been "17 years in the making". The technology will be employed in both the fly and spinning series of rods.
This new Construction uses a higher modulus Graphite as well as a new proprietary resin system. The result is a rod that is both 20% lighter and 20% more impact resistant and 20% more sensitive than GLX. Overall the new material is designed to be 25% stronger then GLX and because it will eliminate cracking and is better able to resist further damage from nicks and scratches. This is not some fancy coating, the Special Resin will be infused throughout the graphite fibers within the blank.
You can read more about it here:
I will be at the show with a hands on photos and videos which I hope to update pretty quickly onto Facebook and Saltyshores.com while I'm over there. I do own several GLX spin and fly gear so I will definitely be able to compare the difference.
Be prepared to see lots of updates while I'm over there. I will not be on the water and I should have wi-fi, so the updates will be flowing.

But, despite the fact the 2014 Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations A/AA and AAA/AAAA girls hockey championships are being held in March 18-21, this may not be one of those years.
Four SDSSAA reps will carry the city's hopes for a championship, though the veteran-laden St. Charles College Cardinals are the obvious bet for Northern Ontario to retain a provincial banner.
With Head Coach Jason Michelutti guiding a solid core of talent to the provincial tournament for the past four years, the timing is in place to improve on a top eight AAA/AAAA finish from 2013, even more so given the school now qualifies at the A/AA level.
"They're growing every year, you can see the improvement in their game," said Michelutti. "They're getting stronger, they're getting quicker, their shots are getting better.
"We're finally at a place where most of them are Grade 11 and 12 — they look good."
In fact, the Cardinals feature no glaring weaknesses — something not unexpected for two-time defending city champions.
The quartet of Summer Butterfly, Sarah Mulvenna, Tayler Murphy and Brittany Reinhardt all hit double digits in goals this year. A defence corps led by Keara Cronin, Renée Auger and Kasandra Lauzon provides valuable support to the goaltending tandem of Alexi Kennedy and Cheyenne Saucier.
Though the likes of Appleby College (Oakville) and the St. Theresa Titans (Belleville) can more than hold their own against the larger AAA/AAAA schools, Michelutti and company are anxious to test themselves against a grouping that includes schools with student populations of 950 or fewer.
"I don't know that it will give us an edge, but it should create an equal playing field with a lot of the schools," Michelutti said. "We will need to play well without the puck, know where to be in the defensive and offensive zone, and use our speed. Those things will be key."
While the Collège Notre-Dame Alouettes are the most historically decorated local squad competing at OFSAA, coaches J.C. Davis and Denis Piquette bring a very young crew, lacking the traditional swagger of previous years.
Still, CND can boast a nice balance across its lineup. Siblings Renée and Josée Scott, Ashley McKerrol, Kailey Lapensée, Courtney Sauvé, Tiffany Ross and Kaylie Venedam benefit from years of experience with the competitive Lady Wolves program.
Goaltending will be key for Notre-Dame, with Danika Roy needing to be at her best if CND is going to find its way into their normal top eight perch.
Although the surprise NOSSA banner for École secondaire MacDonald-Cartier created a great deal of excitement, the reality of AAA/AAAA competition for a school that fits into the A classification (fewer than 600 students) is a given.
Still, the goaltending tandem of Danika Lefrancois and Andrea Gagnon, who were outstanding at NOSSA, combined with a nucleous that features Stephanie Legault, Kennedy Cresswell, Emilie Gatien and Josée Wahamaa should allow the Panthères to remain competitive in most outings.
The same cannot be said for the Marymount Regals, a group that has no trouble acknowledging that a "just happy to be here" motto is quite appropriate for the local entry.
At the other end of the spectrum, teams to watch in the AAA/AAAA field include defending champions St. Aloysius Gonzaga from Mississauga, Holy Cross Crusaders from Kingston, the Bill Crothers Colts from Unionville (gold medal winners in 2012), as well as the Pickering High School Trojans.
Competition begins on March 18 and through March 21, though the event highlight for many of the young ladies, will be the OFSAA banquet.
Sudbury gold medallist Rebecca Johnston will be on hand as guest speaker at the event, a coup for local organizers that is sure to make the 2014 Championships a memorable one for all involved.

bighorn: I think you are confused the Mayor election was in May and he is not up for reelection until May of 2013. That is the whole point of this recall but my question is still where were all these people back in May. We had a small turn out for the city election this is why I would like to see the city elections to be moved to Nov. to coincide with the National elections.October 15, 2010 at 9:04 a.m.
I agree, Jeff Williams is a man of GOD. He will bring the almighty back into town hall and stop all the wasteful spending and useless constructions projects. We must stop this out of control government. NO NO NO!!!
Is he running in November?October 15, 2010 at 7:42 a.m.
Man of God or not, Mr. Williams is not up for election for the Mayor's office in November. Will Armstrong is.
"Recall before Reelection!" Is such a thing allowed? The question is not what tree this guy fell out of, but how many branches his head hit on the way down.October 14, 2010 at 10:19 p.m.
I'm still worried about this dude.October 14, 2010 at 10:08 p.m.
I willl vote for Jeff Williams a man that has great integrity and is authentic. Most of all a man of God.October 14, 2010 at 8:29 p.m.
In the case of the elected mayor:The will of the people was represented in actual votes.
In your case: you are the self appointed judge of what the people want... It's speculation.
In cases of criminal wrongdoing, the defendant normally resigns saving the taxpayers the expense of recall..... The $30,000 shouldn't be an issue if the mayor's action warranted recall.... This is a case of a wannabe/ opportunist trying to take advantage of some vulnerable voters who think they will save a $1.25 in taxes.... Everyone has a personal agenda; some will use smoke screens to try to mask theirs, but you can run but you can't hide....Comment history.October 14, 2010 at 4:02 p.m.
Mike said: "Leave it to BSspotter to shamelessly shill for his candidate... Shall I say opportunist?"
I was simply presenting viability stats in response to LMS saying "All Victoria needs is a viable candidate."
And leave it to Mike to talk about the "will of the people" out of one side of his mouth while mocking the need for more public-friendly meeting times out of the other side that would allow the people to present the wills to their entire county-governing body weekly.
As much as I don't like the added cost of recall elections and don't tend to advocate for them, I believe the people's will can change as new information is presented, and it should always be an option. A new election will also be the people's will.October 14, 2010 at 3:44 p.m.
Who is Jeff Williams? What does he do?October 14, 2010 at 3:39 p.m.
Let me clarify I am against this recall and hate to admit that I have to agree with Mike's statement. But if Jeff Williams Runs in 2013 he will have my Vote again.October 14, 2010 at 3:08 p.m.
Unless there is serious criminal wrongdoing; an election should never be overturned... The will of the people should never be compromised. We have a ballot box for those that were disappointed with the results..... This can lead to replacing the will of the people with recall petitions.
Leave it to BSspotter to shamelessly shill for his candidate... Shall I say opportunist?October 14, 2010 at 2:53 p.m.
LMS: "All Victoria needs is a viable candidate."
Jeff Williams was about 60 swing votes shy of taking Halepaska's seat, so I think he'd unseat the Mayor 60-40.October 14, 2010 at 2:44 p.m.
Where was this guy in May, if you look at the votes from the May election Armstrong is easily beatable. All Victoria needs is a viable candidate. We need more people to show up at the city counsel meetings and let the counsel know that we the citizen are not happy being lied to.October 14, 2010 at 2:41 p.m.
Typically, any mustachioed man gutsy enough to eat a mustard dog before having his picture taken would have my endorsement but in this case I can't really support spending so much money to recall this elected official when action could have taken place BEFORE the votes were cast.October 14, 2010 at 1:49 p.m.
Exiled to Edna would be worse - Elba is quite beautiful.
;-)October 14, 2010 at 9:39 a.m.
@cobraden, His comment struck me too. However, I have heard him speak on a couple of occassions, and I think he may have been reacting in a sarcastic manner. I am not his spokesperson, but I am sure he would chat with you about it if you are concerned.October 14, 2010 at 9:19 a.m.
This comment was removed by the site staff for violation of the usage agreement.October 14, 2010 at 8:43 a.m.
"He claimed in the newspaper I was rude," Armstrong said. "He's probably right because I can be provoked into being rude."
And obviously proud of being rude, what a pig headed bully Armstrong is. I for one will sign any petition to get him exiled to Elba.October 14, 2010 at 8:22 a.m.
I second BSspotter's comments.October 14, 2010 at 7:44 a.m.
Really??? Really??? Mr. Heiling, where were you a few months ago when we had this thing call an election? If you are so concerned with spending, why are you mounting a recall that could cost tax payers $30,000? That doesn't sound like fiscal responsibility to me!
And regarding the Bring Your Boots campaign, first, it's not paid with local taxpayer money, it's funded by visitors to our area thought the hotel/motel tax. And love it or hate it, at least CVB is doing something to market our community rather than spending the majority of their budget on printing nametags for family and class reunions. For the first time in the 20 years I've lived here there is a coordinated marketing effort for our city and I commend CVB for making something happen.
With our marketing campaign, Main Street Project, University expansion, new businesses (such as Catapillar) moving in and so many other things going on, Victoria has the most amazing forward momentum right now, unlike anything I've ever seen, and I commend our city leaders for moving us forward!October 14, 2010 at 7:20 a.m.
Where was this guy a couple of months ago, during the primary? It's ridiculous to start a recall while the Mayor is still pending reelection in November. Next!October 14, 2010 at 7:11 a.m.
This comment was removed by the site staff for violation of the usage agreement.October 14, 2010 at 6:54 a.m.
thanks for post bsspotterOctober 13, 2010 at 10:20 p.m.
With the news today about the city dropping plans for the overpasses.....I am all for a recall of this man. This city has no vision of the future, and no real goals. I guess we will now wait for the bodies to start piling up on the loop. At some point, the city will realize they have to have the overpasses after all, but there will be no state money then, so......more taxes will be called for to fund it without state help. It would be laughable if it were not so serious an issue.October 13, 2010 at 9:41 p.m.
As noble as Mr. Heiling's intentions are, I'd like to see Jeff Williams run against the mayor if the recall is successful.

one month of the bring your boots advertising budget could probably pay for the election....i would have loved to have seen someone strong run against them in the election, but most people are working so hard who has time to run for mayor....the right fiscal responsibility applied to the budget could easily pay its self back the cost of an election with the money savedOctober 13, 2010 at 9:29 p.m.

Ummm, Ok, I'll just throw it out there. So where were you about 6 months ago when it may have mattered Helling ? During the last election all we could muster to run against the mayor was a local nut and a coffee barista. And they still managed to snag an astounding 40% of the vote. Recalls have a pretty lame track record and now, the City that you want to save money for, is gonna have to pony up about 30K for an unscheduled election. Good luck I guess.October 13, 2010 at 9:17 p.m.

"What he needsThe city charter states that a recall election petition must be signed by at least 10 percent of the qualified voters in Victoria..."

Good for him! "Bring your boots" is awful, and everyone i know loathes it.....tax payer dollars are abused in this town....property taxes continue to be raised....roads get worse....i would love to see a new looking downtown, but first i would like to be able to drive my car there without losing a tire on our awful roads....$2,500 are given to people for down payment assistance on a home.......thats a nice gesture, but what gives them the right to take your money or my money for that matter to pay someone elses down payment...why not get tough on things like that arizona sheriff...lets have our inmates run our pounds, fix our roads.....cut back on entitlement programs.....have our city officials work for the people....not tax us to death and decide where they want to spend our money...sorry got long winded....but taxes suck...its OUR money they are spending on this dumb stuff!!October 13, 2010 at 8:50 p.m.

Keeping the Tradition Alive
All practicing knitters participate in the continuity of knitting as
a traditional activity. Some, however, serve the future of knitting
by teaching others skills they have mastered, ranging from basic techniques
to regional styles. This sharing can happens through classes at a local

DEXTER, MO (KFVS) - Faurecia, a plant in Dexter, is laying off hundreds of employees.
As of Wednesday, the company has 1,042 workers at its Dexter location.
By September, that number will whittle down to almost 500.
The French based company that makes exhaust systems, blames the tough auto industry for this most recent round of layoffs.
It's a rough start to the new year as employees at Faurecia learn a huge wave of layoffs is coming.
The plant has had a number of name changes over the years. It became Faurecia last February.
With that change, a number of workers were hired.
"I believe 1,042 is probably the highest this plant's ever seen," said Bobby Ward, Human Resource Manager.
The last big round of layoffs at the plant was in 2009 when the auto industry really took a hit.
"We make exhausts for GM, Ford, Chrysler, Harley-Davidson, BMW, and Volkswagen", said Ward. "The automotive industry is really tough."
They're basically cutting the workforce in half, going down to 500-550 employees.
"We will be transferring assembly lines to North American facilities," said Ward.
Meanwhile, it will not only affect workers, but the city as a whole. An Amerimart Sinclair service station is just down the road from the plant.
"Business has picked up the past several months," said Laura Pullum-Amerimart Employee.
That's with the additional workers at the plant, but now with the layoffs announcement she is concerned.
"It's going to hurt business," said Pullum.
At this point workers still don't know for sure who will stay and who will go. The UAW union chairman says while it's bad news, it's not as bad as originally thought.
"I'm really glad it isn't the plant closing because a lot of people thought this morning when they called them all together that they closed the whole production down", said Louie Seay.
The layoffs will happen over time. They will begin in March, and run through September.
"As a company we will work with every employee this affects, and make it as easy of a transition as possible," said Ward.
Ward says if production picks back up, some of those displaced workers could get hired back.
The company is set to meet with the union to negotiate severance packages and other matters.

Versace and Kane's Hard Edit-------
Donatella Versace relaunched her little sister label, Versus, today, debuting a small capsule collection of accessories made in collaboration with Christopher Kane, her onetime accessories consultant at Versace. Clothes will follow in July. "It's a younger version of Versace, but with the same rock and roll spirit. Who better than Christopher to revive it?" she said. "He made so many sketches and they were all so good, we had a hard time editing." Hard is the definitely the operative word. When the black and silver leather shoes and bags and chain necklaces aren't studded with enormous faceted crystals, they're adorned with big gold clips. "The Versus girl is very different than our girl," said Kane. Well, not entirely, a Chelsea boot nods in the direction of the London designer's fall collection, which included men's tailoring for the first time, along with flat oxford shoes. "I prefer the gladiator sandal," admitted Donatella, pointing to a strappy super-high stiletto. Why aren't we surprised?

BWW Reviews: Entertainer Extraordinaire Sam Harris Presents 'Liter-usical' - Now That's Entertainment!
Riding the wave of enthusiasm for his newly released book "Ham: Slices of a Life," singer and entertainer extraordinaire Sam Harris played to a sold-out crowd at Feinstein's at the Nikko in San Francisco. They came expecting a great show and he did not disappoint. Calling his performance a "liter-usical," a combination of literary book tour and Broadway musical extravaganza, he alternated between reading juicy morsels (amuse-bouche, if you will) from his book with songs that served to highlight the chapters of his life.
God he's funny. And a total ham. He started the show appropriately enough with the chapter called "Ham," telling of his discomfiture with a child actor who was trying to upstage him during a run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This was followed by a hilarious story about his determination to play Helen Keller in a school production of "The Miracle Worker." Ham and chutzpah. Certainly not kosher, but effervescently, quintessentially Sam.
It was that blind determination that propelled him into the stratosphere 30 years ago when he was named Grand Champion of the 1980's talent show "Star Search" with Ed McMahon. Even though he'd been playing every LA dive bar between Santa Monica and Encino and slowly gaining a solid reputation (his fans were known as "Harrisites"), it wasn't until television audiences got a chance to hear his Aretha Franklin-like set of pipes that he struck gold.
And he struck gold with the Feinstein audience who ate up his performance like it was a well-glazed ham. Which it was. Sam belted his way through a medley of songs including "Don't Rain on my Parade," "Respect," and "Some People," his strong and vibrant voice filling the intimate setting with magic and pizazz.
Then he gave the audience a taste of the gospel music that had originally set him free, sharing the story of his first visit to an African-American church just 13 years after the Civil Rights Act had passed. It's not a stretch to see how a young man struggling with being gay would resonate with the marginalized African American community. There in that Sand Springs, Oklahoma church on the other side of the tracks, he found acceptance...and his voice. Harris is known for giving 150% in every song, but his heart and soul shone through with bright beauty when he broke into his high-energy gospel numbers. Songs like "I Feel, You Feel," "Wait 'Til My Change Comes" and "Revival" were delivered with full-bodied richness and absolute love. Every note he sang conveyed gratitude and a soul-deep understanding of the music. Sheer magic.

Contaminants of Emerging Concern
1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP)
September 2011
Some chemicals have many uses, but we do not hear much about them. This is the case with 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP). 1,2,3-TCP is mainly used to make other chemicals. It is also a contaminant of pesticides that were used in Minnesota to get rid of insects, worms, weeds, and fungi in soil (soil "fumigants"). Although these pesticides are no longer registered for use in Minnesota, some 1,2,3-TCP may have remained in the environment and reached drinking water. MDH developed three new guidance values for 1,2,3-TCP in 2010. The lowest MDH guidance value for 1,2,3-TCP is 0.003 parts per billion (ppb or micrograms per liter) in drinking water. This value is to protect against cancer. MDH just finished a small-scale study of 1,2,3-TCP in water, including drinking water sources. MDH used a new method that can detect as little as 0.0007 ppb 1,2,3-TCP; so far, none has been found. If we do find 1,2,3-TCP in drinking water, having guidance values will help us decide if 1,2,3-TCP poses a health risk to Minnesotans.
- 1,2,3-TCP is a contaminant of soil fumigants that were once used in Minnesota. It is also an organic solvent used in industrial settings as a cleaner, degreasing agent, solvent, and paint/varnish remover.
- So far, 1,2,3-TCP has not been found in drinking water sources, groundwater, or surface water in Minnesota. However, very few studies have looked for 1,2,3-TCP in drinking water sources in Minnesota.
- MDH recently conducted a small-scale study using a new, more sensitive test method. The new method measures 1,2,3-TCP at much lower concentrations than we could before (0.0007 ppb). 1,2,3-TCP was not found in any of the water sources tested, even using the new method.
- The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) found 1,2,3-TCP in only one of 54,288 groundwater samples. The concentration of
1,2,3-TCP in this one sample was 4.3 ppb. These samples were taken at closed landfills from 1998-2007. This study used an older, less sensitive, test method.
- The lowest MDH guidance value for 1,2,3-TCP is 0.003 ppb in drinking water. If you drink water containing up to 0.003 ppb for up to a lifetime there is little to no health risk, including cancer risk.
- Exposure to 1,2,3-TCP can occur if contaminated water is used for drinking, showering, bathing, or cooking.
- The toxicity of 1,2,3-TCP was recently reevaluated. This reevaluation showed that 1,2,3-TCP is more toxic than previously known. The
0.003 ppb guidance value for 1,2,3-TCP is very low, which means small amounts may cause cancer.
- MDH does not have specific recommendations for individual action at this time.
A Citizen's Guide is currently under development for 1,2,3-TCP. Check this page for updates.
See the Exposure and Toxicity Summary (PDF: 37KB/3 pages) for additional information about 1,2,3-TCP. This information was gathered before the MDH guidance value was completed.
Do you need more details about the health-based guidance?
See 1,2,3-TCP Toxicity Summary information used by MDH (PDF: 147KB/6 pages) for toxicity values used to develop health-based guidance.
Do you need more technical information about toxicity and exposure?

1,2,3-TCP" will be posted here and announced to our email subscriber list when available. Subscribe to our email notification service by selecting "Groundwater Rules, Guidance and Chemical Reviews."

Penn Wanted To Scorch The Earth
by Josh Orton, Mon Aug 11, 2008 at 04:51:14 AM EDT
In a forthcoming article in The Atlantic, Josh Green reports that Mark Penn wanted to strongly contrast his candidate with Barack Obama on the issue of Americanism:
The Penn memo suggesting that the campaign target Obama's "lack of American roots" said in part: "All of these articles about his boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii are geared towards showing his background is diverse, multicultural and putting that in a new light.
"Save it for 2050. ... Every speech should contain the line you were born in the middle of America American to the middle class in the middle of the last century. And talk about the basic bargain as about the deeply American values you grew up with, learned as a child and that drive you today. Values of fairness, compassion, responsibility, giving back
"Let's explicitly own `American' in our programs, the speeches and the values. He doesn't. Make this a new American Century, the American Strategic Energy Fund. Let's use our logo to make some flags we can give out. Let's add flag symbols to the backgrounds."
We don't have to go down this road too far, but I think there's general election utility in briefly examining this revelation (since we're already rehashing the flaws of primary candidates).
Penn was a man out of options - Obama had rocketed to the top of the Democratic party, while Penn's client teetered on the verge of defeat after her wins in Ohio and Texas failed to substantively alter Obama's delegate lead. Penn had maxed-out the contrast on significant issues, pounding Obama for his health care plan. And absent a time-machine, Penn couldn't do much to draw more contrast with Obama on the Iraq war.
So he pushed for the same strategy Karl Rove had used for years. Perhaps Penn thought the same game plan that ran out of gas for Republicans could get a few more miles out of it if the candidate was black, or already suffered from anonymous internet smears about his religion.
Regardless, this is where we can expect McCain to go. The "celebrity" ad was only the beginning. If McCain wants a shot at states like Michigan, he's going to have to play dirty.

HUBBARD, Ohio- A Hubbard plant faces possible fines of up to $589,000 for alleged repeated safety violations.
Ball Aerosal and Specialty Container has been cited with 11 violations for not having proper guards in place on machinery, posing a potential amputation hazard, according to a news release.
The violations are considered "willful," because the company faced similar citations following an inspection in 2009.
Nick Walters, OSHA's regional administrator in Chicago, said in a news release that the danger workers were exposed to is unnecessary.
"Workers should not be asked to take such risks and OSHA will not tolerate such disregard for worker safety," Walters said.
In a statement, Renee Robinson, manager of corporate communications for Ball Aerosol, said the company says it disagrees with the characterizations made in the OSHA release.
"We intend to resolve our disagreements throught the regulatory process and accordingly cannot comment further, except to note we take this issue very seriously and have begun a review of OSHA's citation and the safety processes we have in place. We will take whatever measures that are appropriate at the end of this review to ensure that we are continuing to maintain a safe environment for our employees," Robinson said in the statement.

I tried to help but fireball was too intense...I feared for students: Seevic College principal describes moment he saw car explode
Updated 9:11am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News By Luke Lambert
THE principal of Seevic College has described the horrific moment he saw a car explode in its car park.
Nick Spenceley was in his office, which overlooks the car park, just before 5pm on Thursday when he heard a massive bang.
Looking out the window, he saw a huge fireball and immediately ran outside.
He said the fire was so intense he "couldn't get within 20ft of the flames".
Mr Spenceley said, although most of the students had gone home, some college pupils were leaving the building as the blast happened.
He said: "I was at the scene in about 30 seconds, but I couldn't get close to the flames.
"I had to make sure there were no students near the fire and everyone was safe."
Mr Spenceley said he had been keeping an eye on social media the evening of the explosion and decided bringing the pupils into college the next morning for aminute's silence was "the right thing to do".
He added: "We are a very close community, so I find it is best to be together after something like this happens. If people have stayed off, I respect that, but I feel it is good to get back to an everyday routine.
"I wanted to see what the students were saying about it on Facebook and a lot of people were paying tribute to the person who had died. A number of people were saying they thought college should be called off for the day while others were saying, although there was no suggestion of it being a student, there should be a tribute.
"All of the classes stopped at 10am for a minute's silence. It seemed the right thing to do."
Some students said they were surprised college hadn't been suspended for the day.
Luke Jury, 18, from Thundersley, said: "I was following it on Twitter. I didn't know about it until 8pm. College generally finishes before 5pm, so I didn't see it happen, but it's shocking this happened in school grounds.
"Everyone was talking about it online.
A lot of people were curious about why it happened at school. It's lucky it wasn't nearer the actual college."
Bradley Appleton, 18, from Chelmsford, said: "It is very tragic news and I am surprised we are at college today. The principal has done the right thing by holding a minute's silence, as you can't pretend stuff like this hasn't happened."

The first major hurdle for top NFL prospects takes place this week in Indianapolis. The best college football players eligible for the draft will gather to compete in the NFL Combine. Every NFL team will be in attendance and have the chance to see how these prospects test and measure in size, speed, strength, agility, etc.
These players will also undergo some drills if they choose to participate in them. Rarely do the top two or three quarterbacks elect to throw at the combine, but Geno Smith has already said he will do all the throws there. That decision is an interesting one because he is believed to be the top quarterback in this class and his decision puts pressure on the quarterbacks below him to do the same.
ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay recently spoke with the media about the upcoming draft. He spent a lot of time discussing West Virginia's Geno Smith.
"Geno Smith is probably the best all-around quarterback in this class," McShay stated. "However, he is inconsistent with his accuracy and he does not always process information fast enough."
McShay's concerns with Smith stem from having to go through his reads, "When the answer does not come from his first read and he has to check to his second and then his third read and go through those progressions, sometimes it does not come as quickly."
One of the teams believed to be a potential landing spot for Smith is the Philadelphia Eagles. New Head Coach Chip Kelly came to Philly from Oregon where he ran an up-tempo offense similar to what Smith was a part of under Dana Holgorsen at WVU.
Kelly may elect to run more of a read-option offense that is becoming more and more popular in the NFL. McShay believes Smith does not fit that type of offense as well.
"Geno Smith is probably going to run a 4.8 at best in the 40." McShay stated. "He is quick, he can move around, he is a good natural athlete, but he is not a running quarterback by any stretch. He is a pure pocket passer."
Smith's numbers are impressive. He passed for 4,205 yards and 42 touchdowns while throwing just six interceptions last season. He also completed more than 71 percent of his passes. That kind of efficiency is something NFL teams put high on their priority list.
McShay called Smith the best all-around quarterback in this draft. However, at this point, McShay is not giving any quarterback in this class a first-round grade. He acknowledged that one or two of them will likely get picked in the first round, but is not grading them that high.
"I will not give a first round grade to any of these guys," McShay said. "It is not a knock, it is who they are. It will be interesting to see where they come off the board. I don't know anyone in the league who has a true first round grade on any of these guys."
Of course, that could all change after the combine. What players do there can sometimes make or break their draft status. Part of the combine is to interview with some of the teams.
"He is as motivated, determined and hard-working a quarterback as you will ever find," McShay said. "It is just sometimes the information does not transfer as quickly as you would like to see."
Smith can answer his critics and potentially impress some people when the NFL Combine begins Thursday in Indianapolis.

The Philadelphia Union have 11 games remaining in the regular season - 5 at home and 6 away. The combined away record for teams slated to visit PPL Park between now and mid-October is 9-30-20. Meanwhile, 34-12-24 is the combined home record for teams the U will face on the road.
Home-field advantage has been huge for everyone this year. Away teams are 44-99-83 this season. The Los Angeles Galaxy are the only ones unbeaten at home, but no team in the league has lost more than 4 games in their own stadium. The Union have only lost 1 of 12 home matches in 2011 and 4 of 27 since joining the league.
Could it be that every supporters group REALLY IS the best supporters group? Looking at the broader picture, can Major League Soccer teams expect to compete in the CONCACAF Champions League when so few of them win on the road in their own league? Hit the jump for more...
Supporters' Shield Race a.k.a. If Major League Soccer Used a Single Table:
(Games played in parentheses, ties broken by goal differential)
48 pts Los Angeles Galaxy (25)
43 pts FC Dallas (25)
42 pts Seattle Sounders (25)
40 pts Colorado Rapids (26)
37 pts Columbus Crew (24)
36 pts Real Salt Lake (22)
34 pts Philadelphia Union (23)
31 pts New York Red Bulls (25)
31 pts Houston Dynamo (24)
30 pts Chivas USA (24)
30 pts Sporting Kansas City (23)
30 pts DC United (22)
26 pts Portland Timbers (23)
25 pts San Jose Earthquakes (24)
23 pts Toronto FC (26)
21 pts New England Revolution (24)
20 pts Chicago Fire (23)
18 pts Vancouver Whitecaps (24)
17 points separate first from last place in the Eastern Conference. 30 points separate the top and bottom of the Western Conference. The Columbus Crew are the only team in the East with more wins than ties. The Seattle Sounders are the only team in the league without a loss in their last 5 matches. Toronto FC has allowed more goals (46) than the Crew (23) and the Union (22) combined. DC United average better than one penalty kick every three games, while Chivas USA and San Jose Earthquakes have gone 24 games without a spot kick. Who will finish with the best regular season record and win the Supporters' Shield? Who will win the MLS Cup?
Peter Nowak hopped on Twitter and caused a stir among the usual crowd, but Freddy Adu joining the squad brings hundreds of thousands of new eyes to the team through social media. When you look across the league, only Landon Donovan has more online minions (and not by much).
Union-Related Twitter Account Followers:
Taylor Twellman - 23,352
Faryd Mondragon - 18,601
Philadelphia Union - 18,370
Alecko Eskandarian - 11,799
Carlos Valdes - 2,684
Veljko Paunovic - 2,623
Peter Nowak - 2,444 * account only 24 hours old
Roger Torres - 2,370
Kyle Nakazawa - 2,353
Sheanon Williams - 2,254
Amobi Okugo - 1,863
Gabriel Farfan - 1,238
Ryan Richter - 1,193
Freddy Adu - 433,096
Who will be the first to be fined by the team/league for their Twitter comments? Will a certain hot-tempered manager make his thoughts on officiating public after a match? Can Freddy continue his recent effort to keep his tweets vague and positive? Will Taylor Twellman go on a rant while watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette that will make J.P. Dellacamera question their partnership?
Extra exposure could mean the world to the Union youngsters. We know Juergen Klinsmann has his eyes on Freddy, and he will undoubtedly be looking for other kids to support/replace parts of the aging squad Bob Bradley brought to the 2010 World Cup. We'll see plenty of holdovers, but there are bound to be many new faces due to club form, injury, age, and Klinsi's personal preferences.
Ages of 2010 WC Team as of the start of the 2014 edition in Brazil:
41 Marcus Hahnemann (would turn 42 during the tournament)
35 Steve Cherundolo
35 Carlos Bocanegra
35 Tim Howard
34 Jay DeMerit
33 Edson Buddle
32 Jermaine Jones
32 Oguchi Onyewu
32 Landon Donovan
32 Clarence Goodson
32 DaMarcus Beasley
32 Herculez Gomez
31 Ricardo Clark
31 Clint Dempsey
29 Brad Guzan
29 Jonathan Bornstein
29 Benny Feilhaber
28 Stuart Holden
28 Robbie Findley
28 Jonathan Spector
28 Maurice Edu
26 Jose Francisco Torres
26 Michael Bradley
23 Jozy Altidore
Danny Califf and Brian Carroll have been capped before and have a chance to help out during qualifying, but time is not on their side for the big tournament. Freddy Adu, Gabriel Farfan, Michael Farfan, Zac MacMath, Justin Mapp, Jack McInerney, Danny Mwanga (pending citizenship), Kyle Nakazawa, Amobi Okugo, Zach Pfeffer, Ryan Richter, Sheanon Williams, and every kid in our academy system will be under 30 years old. Who has the best shot? If you could choose 5 guys from the 2010 USMNT roster around whom the 2014 squad would be built, who would you pick?
There are nearly more former Union players than there are current ones. 4/6 goalkeepers are no longer with the team and those responsible for 16 goals / 10 assists have been sent packing. Some have been quite successful since moving on, while others have yet to see a minute on the pitch.
Where are they now?
Chris Seitz - FC Dallas
Andrew Jacobson - FC Dallas
Jordan Harvey - Vancouver Whitecaps
Shea Salinas - Vancouver Whitecaps
Shavar Thomas - Sporting Kansas City
Brian Perk - Los Angeles Galaxy
Alejandro Moreno - Chivas USA
Chris Agorsor - Real Salt Lake
Eduardo Coudet - Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)
Toni Stahl - Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)
Cristian Arrieta - Fort Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)
Brad Knighton - Carolina RailHawks (NASL)
Nick Zimmerman - Carolina Railhawks (NASL)
Thorne Holder - FC New York (USL)
Michael Orozco-Fiscal - San Luis (Mexican Primera Division)
Carlos Ruiz - Veracruz (Mexican Segunda Division)
David Myrie - Limon FC (Costa Rican Primera Division)
Fred - Melbourne Heart (Australian A-League)
If you could bring one former Union player back before playoffs to improve our team, who would it be?
The international transfer window has closed and the Union look set to keep the roster essentially the way it looks today. They have the opportunity to make trades, free agent signings, and homegrown additions, but the core of the roster will remain unchanged. With the Montreal Impact joining the league next season, we will once again face the possibility of losing a player through the expansion draft. We will have the ability to protect 11 players in addition to any homegrown or Generation Adidas players (and Danny Mwanga will almost certainly graduate from GA at the end of the season).
Freddy Adu
Danny Califf
Brian Carroll
Keon Daniel
Gabriel Farfan
Michael Farfan
Juan Diego Gonzalez
Levi Houapeu
Sebastien Le Toux
Justin Mapp
Stefani MIglioranzi
Faryd Mondragon
Danny Mwanga
Kyle Nakazawa
Veljko Paunovic
Ryan Richter
Roger Torres (on loan)
Carlos Valdes
Sheanon Williams
Zac MacMath (Generation Adidas)
Jack McInerney (Generation Adidas)
Amobi Okugo (Generation Adidas)
Zach Pfeffer (Homegrown)
11 safe spots, 19 guys that need protection (3 of whom have yet to play a minute this season). Who do you pick? Do you leave a player with a large contract available in hopes that Montreal will balk at the price? Do you make an offer to Montreal under the condition that they don't take one of our guys in the draft? Does this all hinge on whether or not this roster is successful in the playoffs this year?

Can Fresno support a six-night-per-week comedy room?
Tonight downtown restaurant Heroes Sports Lounge and local comic/promoter Danny Minch start something that Fresno hasn't seen in a long time — a six-night-per-week comedy room.
Fresno has no shortage of local comedy nights, most of them restaurants and bars that add a comedy night to their weekly entertainment schedule. Places such as Thai Palms and Crossroads have proven there's a market for it, no doubt. But what Fresno doesn't have — and it hasn't had since Screwballz closed in 1997 — is a true comedy club.
To some degree that's what Heroes and Minch are trying to create with their new venture. Heroes will still be a restaurant and bar, but it's taking a big step into turning its upstairs into a consistent comedy destination.
Here's how the six-night schedule will work, from a story I wrote in today's Bee:
It starts with open mic night, which Heroes has hosted on Tuesdays for about six weeks already.
On Wednesdays, there will be a local or regional featured comic. This week it's local guy Terry Michaels, plus Minch and host Eddie Trevino.
On Thursday, a touring comic will come for a four-night hold-over that lasts until Sunday. This week, it's Flip Schultz, a 2006 finalist in "Last Comic Standing."
"We had done so many shows in so many different spots," says Minch. "There's almost comedy going on every night of the week, it just isn't going on in the same spot. There's a night in Clovis, one night in Chowchilla, one night in this side of Fresno, one night in the other side of Fresno. Why not have one spot where people know there's going to be comedy almost every night throughout the week?"
It's great to get a consistent comedy venue going for Fresno. It's sorely needed. The current comedy scene in town — while busy — is a bit tough to navigate if you're just a fan on the fringe. There are different venues for different nights, some weekends on, some weekends off. In that case, this move is good.
But it's also worthwhile to ask: What's the point of over-saturation for local comedy? Take this week, for example — even if you don't include the Heroes shows, there are events Wednesday-Saturday, with two options each on Friday and Saturday. (see list below)
To his credit, Minch answered that question with a very good point: Most people in Fresno still don't know there's a comedy scene, so to make this new venture work, he's going to have to awaken those people and get them out to Heroes.
There's one certain answer here — and the concept applies whether we're talking about comedy clubs or music venues or restaurants. If you want to see comedy thrive here in Fresno, get out there and support it. Support it at Heroes or at Thai Palms or anywhere else you can find it.

- Wednesday: Terry Michaels and Danny Minch at Heroes Sports Lounge. 8:30 p.m. $10.

High School Roundup: La Jolla splits with University City
In the first game, starting pitcher Tyson Youngs threw four scoreless innings before giving way to an aching back. Eric Pitrofsky came in relief and kept the Vikings close until the offense could break through in the bottom of the 6th.
"This was a huge win for us," La Jolla coach Gary Frank said. "The guys showed a lot of heart and character by coming back against a very tough pitcher late in the game."

A case study on why state lawmakers shouldn't set education policy is the Read to Succeed Act, which requires schools to hold back first-graders who don't meet a certain standard on state reading assessments. Unfortunately, it's just one of many examples of legislative meddling this session.
Gov. Sam Brownback originally proposed holding back all third-graders who don't pass a reading assessment as part of his campaign goal to boost fourth-grade reading proficiency. But his plan couldn't make it out of committee in the House or Senate – and for good reason.
In many cases, holding children back can be counterproductive to their academic progress, education experts say. It also can be unfair and inaccurate to make such decisions based on only one test. And as many experts noted, a better way to boost reading is to invest in early childhood education.
But rather than moving on to other issues, the full Senate changed the bill – seemingly on the fly and without any data – to move the retention requirement to first grade. After it passed the Senate, a compromise plan was hammered out by House and Senate negotiators. Both chambers approved it last week.
The new plan targets districts with a higher-than-average percentage of students scoring at a low level on state assessment tests. It also exempts certain special education and bilingual students. Schools also must allow students to retake the assessment test, and parents can override the retention mandate and have their children promoted.
The changes certainly improve the bill, including a provision allowing other measures besides just the state test to be considered. Still, it is troubling how freely lawmakers approve new mandates that aren't backed by teachers or academic studies.
Some other bills considered by lawmakers this session have included mandating that schools teach the history of our nation's founding during a particular week in September (approved), blocking Common Core education standards (not approved – at least not yet), and restricting the collective-bargaining rights of teachers (deferred until next year).
Lawmakers also have approved several changes to school finance, which is their area of responsibility. But some of those proposals are misguided or deceptive.
For example, the House approved a bill (which is still in conference committee) that would require school districts to send a portion of their local-option budget funding to the state, which would then return it to the districts as "state aid." It is intended to fool the courts and the public into thinking the state has increased funding.
"It's like if you lost the basketball game and you take 10 points from your opponent and then say you won," complained Rep. Jim Kelly, R-Independence.
But when it comes to education policy, that's how the game is played in Topeka.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - On Monday, the state's former Chief Deputy Comptroller joined with experts at Texas Tech to release the findings of a new study on renewable energy, and its benefits to the Texas economy. Billy Hamilton, who also served as a consultant on the project, says renewable sources are changing the energy industry, and that Texas needs to continue to lead that industry.
He says Texas Tech will be a major player as the state continues to grow its green energy resources.
"To make Texas a leader in clean energy in the future, we can't just be installing wind turbines," says Hamilton. "We need to develop the technology, which is where Texas Tech's work comes in. We need to be manufacturing it and installing it."
The study by the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation outlined major benefits renewable energy will have in Texas over the next ten years, including the creation of nearly 23,000 new jobs per year, and nearly $3 million a year in local and state tax revenue.
