On August 29, 2007, the Virginia Tech Review Panel released a large report investigating the massacre at the university that claimed 33 lives, including the shooter. Throughout, the panel made recommendations on how Virginia Tech and other universities could rectify security gaps to minimize the likelihood something like this could happen again.
Below, you will find the list of the panel's recommendations, divided by chapter, in one easy-to-find location. (Note: The panel's specific recommendations to Virginia's mental health system have been excluded due to their specificity.)
-- Matthew Harwood
Chapter II: University Setting and Security
II-1 Universities should do a risk analysis (threat assessment) and then choose a level of security appropriate for their campus. How far to go in safeguarding campuses, and from which threats, needs to be considered by each institution. Security requirements vary across universities, and each must do its own threat assessment to determine what security measures are appropriate.
II-2 Virginia Tech should update and enhance its Emergency Response Plan and bring it into compliance with federal and state guidelines.
II-3 Virginia Tech and other institutions of higher learning should have a threat assessment team that includes representatives from law enforcement, human resources, student and academic affairs, legal counsel, and mental health functions. The team should be empowered to take actions such as additional investigation, gathering background information, identification of additional dangerous warning signs, establishing a threat potential risk level (1 to 10) for a case, preparing a case for hearings (for instance, commitment hearings), and disseminating warning information.
II-4 Students, faculty, and staff should be trained annually about responding to various emergencies and about the notification systems that will be used. An annual reminder provided as part of registration should be considered.
II-5 Universities and colleges must comply with the Clery Act, which requires timely public warnings of imminent danger.
"Timely" should be defined clearly in the federal law.
II-6 Campus emergency communications systems must have multiple means of sharing information.
II-7 In an emergency, immediate messages must be sent to the campus community that provide clear information on the nature of the emergency and actions to be taken. The initial messages should be followed by update messages as more information becomes known.
II-8 Campus police as well as administration officials should have the authority and capability to send an emergency message. Schools without a police department or senior security official must designate someone able to make a quick decision without convening a committee.
II-9 The head of campus police should be a member of a threat assessment team as well as the emergency response team for the university. In some cases where there is a security department but not a police department, the security head may be appropriate.
II-10 Campus police must report directly to the senior operations officer responsible for emergency decision making. They should be part of the policy team deciding on emergency planning.
II-11 Campus police must train for active shooters (as did the Virginia Tech Police Department). Experience has shown that waiting for a SWAT team often takes too long. The best chance to save lives is often an immediate assault by first responders.
II-12 The mission statement of campus police should give primacy to their law enforcement and crime prevention role. They also must to be designated as having a function in education so as to be able to review records of students brought to the attention of the university as potential threats. The lack of emphasis on safety as the first responsibility of the police department may create the wrong mindset, with the police yielding to academic considerations when it comes time to make decisions on, say, whether to send out an alert to the students that may disrupt classes. On the other hand, it is useful to identify the police as being involved in the education role in order for them to gain access to records under educational privacy act provisions.
Chapter IV: Mental Health History of Seung Hui Cho
IV-1 Universities should recognize their responsibility to a young, vulnerable population and promote the sharing of information internally, and with parents, when significant circumstances pertaining to health and safety arise.
IV-2 Institutions of higher learning should review and revise their current policies related to—
a) recognizing and assisting students in distress
b) the student code of conduct, including enforcement
c) judiciary proceedings for students, including enforcement
d) university authority to appropriately intervene when it is believed a distressed student poses a danger to himself or others
IV-3 Universities must have a system that links troubled students to appropriate medical and counseling services either on or off campus, and to balance the individual's rights with the rights of all others for safety.
IV-4 Incidents of aberrant, dangerous, or threatening behavior must be documented and reported immediately to a college's threat assessment group, and must be acted upon in a prompt and effective manner to protect the safety of the campus community.
IV-5 Culturally competent mental health services were provided to Cho at his school and in his community. Adequate resources must be allocated for systems of care in schools and communities that provide culturally competent services for children and adolescents to reduce mental-illness-related risk as occurred within this community.
IV-6 Policies and procedures should be implemented to require professors encoutering aberrant, dangerous, or threatening behavior from a student to report them to the dean. Guidelines should be established to address when such reports should be communicated by the dean to a threat assessment group, and to the school's counseling center.
IV-7 Reporting requirements for aberrant, dangerous, or threatening behavior and incidents for resident hall staff must be clearly established and reviewed during annual training.
IV-8 Repeated incidents of aberrant, dangerous, or threatening behavior must be reported by Judicial Affairs to the threat assessment group. The group must formulate a plan to address the behavior that will both protect other students and provide the needed support for the troubled student.
IV-9 Repeated incidents of aberrant, dangerous, or threatening behavior should be reported to the counseling center and
reported to parents. The troubled student should be required to participate in counseling as a condition of continued residence in campus housing and enrollment in classes.
IV-10 The law enforcement agency at colleges should report all incidents of an issuance of temporary detention orders for
students (and staff) to Judicial Affairs, the threat assessment team, the counseling center, and parents. All parties should be educated about the public safety exceptions to the privacy laws which permit such reporting.
IV-11 The college counseling center should report all students who are in treatment pursuant to a court order to the threat assessment team. A policy should be implemented to address what information can be shared with family and roommates pursuant to the public safety exceptions to the privacy laws.
IV-12 The state should study what level of community outpatient service capacity will be required to meet the needs of the commonwealth and the related costs in order to adequately and appropriately respond to both involuntary court-ordered and voluntary referrals for those services. Once this information is available it is recommended that outpatient treatments services be expanded statewide.
Chapter V: Information Privacy Laws
V-1 Accurate guidance should be developed by the attorney general of Virginia regarding 3 1 V a . C o d e § 2 . 2 - 3 8 0 6 ( A ) ( 2 ) the application of information privacy laws to the behavior of troubled students. The lack of understanding of the laws is probably the most significant problem about information privacy. Accurate guidance from the state attorney general's office can alleviate this problem. It may also help clarify which differences in practices among schools are based on a lack of understanding and which are based on institutional policy. For example, a representative of Virginia Tech told the panel that FERPA prohibits the university's administrators from sharing disciplinary records with the campus police department. The panel also learned that the University of Virginia has a policy of sharing such records because it classifies its chief of police as an official with an educational interest in such records.
The development of accurate guidance that signifies that law enforcement officials may have an educational interest in disciplinary records could help eliminate discrepancies in the application of the law between two state institutions. The guidance should clearly explain what information can be shared by concerned organizations and individuals about troubled students. The guidance should be prepared and widely distributed as quickly as possible and written in plain English. Appendix G provides a copy of guidance issued by the Department of Education in June 2007, which can serve as a model or starting point for the development of clear, accurate guidance.
V-2 Privacy laws should be revised to include "safe harbor" provisions. The provisions should insulate a person or organization from liability (or loss of funding) for making a disclosure with a good faith belief that the disclosure was necessary to protect the health, safety, or welfare of the person involved or members of the general public. Laws protecting good-faith disclosure for health, safety, and welfare can help combat any bias toward nondisclosure.
V-3 The following amendments to FERPA should be considered:
FERPA should explicitly explain how it applies to medical records held for treatment purposes. Although the Department of
Education interprets FERPA as applying to all such records, that interpretation has not been universally accepted. Also, FERPA does not address the differences between medical records and ordinary educational records such as grade transcripts. It is not clear whether FERPA preempts state law regarding medical records and confidentiality of medical information or merely adds another requirement on top of these records.
FERPA should make explicit an exception regarding treatment records. Disclosure of treatment records from university clinics should be available to any health care provider without the student's consent when the records are needed for medical treatment, as they would be if covered under HIPAA. As currently drafted, it is not clear whether off-campus providers may access the records or whether students must consent. Without clarification, medical providers treating the same student may not have access to health information. For example, Cho had been triaged twice by Cook Counseling Center before being seen by a provider at Carilion St. Albans in connection with his commitment hearing. Later that day, he was again triaged by Cook. Carilion St. Albans's records were governed by HIPAA. Under HIPAA's treatment exception, Carilion St. Albans was authorized to share records with Cook. Cook's records were governed by FERPA. Because FERPA's rules regarding sharing records for treatment are unclear about outside entities or whether consent is necessary, Carilion St. Albans could not be assured that Cook would share its records. This situation makes little sense.
V-4 The Department of Education should allow more flexibility in FERPA's "emergency" exception. As currently drafted, FERPA contains an exception that allows for release of records in an emergency, when disclosure is necessary to protect the health or safety of either the student or other people. At first, this appears to be an exception well-suited to sharing information about seriously troubled students. However, FERPA regulations also state that this exception is to be strictly construed. The "strict construction" requirement is unnecessary and unhelpful. The existing limitations require that an emergency exists and that disclosure is necessary for health or safety. Further narrowing of the definition does not help clarify when an emergency exists. It merely feeds the perception that nondisclosure is always a safer choice.
V-5 Schools should ensure that law enforcement and medical staff (and others as necessary) are designated as school officials with an educational interest in school records. This FERPA-related change does not require amendment to law or regulation. Education requires effective intervention in the lives of troubled students. Intervention ensures that schools remain safe and students healthy. University policy should recognize that law enforcement, medical providers, and others who assist troubled students have an educational interest in sharing records. When confirmed by policy, FERPA should not present a barrier to these entities sharing information with each other.
V-6 The Commonwealth of Virginia Commission on Mental Health Reform should study whether the result of a commitment hearing (whether the subject was voluntarily committed, involuntarily committed, committed to outpatient therapy, or released) should also be publicly available despite an individual's request for confidentiality. Although this information would be helpful in tracking people going though the system, it may infringe too much on their privacy.
As discussed in Chapter IV, and its recommendations to revise Virginia law regarding the commitment process, the law governing hearings should explicitly state that basic information regarding a commitment hearing (the time, date, and location of the hearing and the name of the subject) is publicly available even when a person requests that records remain confidential. This information is necessary to protect the public's ability to attend commitment hearings.
V-7 The national higher education associations should develop best practice protocols and associated training for information sharing. Among the associations that should provide guidance to the member institutions are:
• American Council on Education (ACE)
• American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU)
• American Association of Community Colleges (AACE)
• National Association of State and Land Grant Universities and Colleges (NASLGUC)
• National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU)
• Association of American Universities (AAU)
• Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities
If the changes recommended above are implemented, it is possible that no further changes to privacy laws would be necessary, but guidance on their interpretation will be needed. The unknown variable is how entities will choose to exercise their discretion when the law gives them a choice on whether to share or withhold information. How an institution uses its discretion can be critically important to whether it is effectively able to intervene in the life of a troubled student. For example, FERPA currently allows schools to release information in their records to parents who claim students as dependents. Schools are not, however, required to release that information. Yet, if a university adopts a policy against release to parents, it cuts off a vital source of information.
The history of Seung Hui Cho shows the potential danger of such an approach. During his formative years, Cho's parents worked with Fairfax County school officials, counselors, and outside mental health professionals to respond to episodes of unusual behavior. Cho's parents told the panel that had they been aware of his behavioral problems and the concerns of Virginia Tech police and educators about these problems, they would again have become involved in seeking treatment. The people treating and evaluating Cho would likely have learned something (but not all) of his prior mental health history and would have obtained a great deal of information germane to their evaluation and treatment of him. There is no evidence that officials at Virginia Tech consciously decided not to inform Cho's parents of his behavior; regardless of intent, however, they did not do so. The example demonstrates why it may be unwise for an institution to adopt a policy barring release of information to parents.
The shootings of April 16, 2007, have forced all concerned organizations and individuals to reevaluate the best approach for handling troubled students. Some educational institutions in Virginia have taken the opportunity to examine the difficult choices involved in attempts to share necessary information while still protecting privacy. Effort should be made to identify the best practices used by these schools and to ensure that these best practices are widely taught. All organizations and individuals should be urged to employ their discretion in appropriate ways, consistent with the best practices. Armed with accurate guidance, amended laws, and a new sense of direction, it is an ideal time to establish best practices for intervening in the life of troubled students.
Chapter VI: Gun Purchase and Campus Policies
VI-1 All states should report information necessary to conduct federal background checks on gun purchases. There should be federal incentives to ensure compliance. This should apply to states whose requirements are different from federal law. States should become fully compliant with federal law that disqualifies persons from purchasing or possessing firearms
who have been found by a court or other lawful authority to be a danger to themselves or others as a result of mental illness. Reporting of such information should include not just those who are disqualified because they have been found to
be dangerous, but all other categories of disqualification as well. In a society divided on many gun control issues, laws that specify who is prohibited from owning a firearm stand as examples of broad agreement and should be enforced.
VI-2 Virginia should require background checks for all firearms sales, including those at gun shows. In an age of widespread information technology, it should not be too difficult for anyone, including private sellers, to contact the Virginia Firearms Transaction Program for a background check that usually only takes minutes before transferring a firearm. The program already processes transactions made by registered dealers at gun shows. The practice should be expanded to all sales. Virginia should also provide an enhanced penalty for guns sold without a background check and later used in a crime.
VI-3 Anyone found to be a danger to themselves or others by a court-ordered review should be entered in the Central Criminal Records Exchange database regardless of whether they voluntarily agreed to treatment. Some people examined for a mental illness and found to be a potential threat to themselves or others are given the choice of agreeing to mental
treatment voluntarily to avoid being ordered by the courts to be treated involuntarily. That does not appear on their records, and they are free to purchase guns. Some highly respected people knowledgeable about the interaction of mentally ill people with the mental health system are strongly opposed to requiring voluntary treatment to be entered on the record and be sent to a state database. Their concern is that it might reduce the incentive to seek treatment voluntarily, which has many advantages to the individuals (e.g., less time in hospital, less stigma, less cost) and to the legal and medical personnel involved (e.g., less time, less paperwork, less cost). However, there still are powerful incentives to take the voluntary path, such as a shorter stay in a hospital and not having a record of mandatory treatment. It does not seem logical to the panel to allow someone found to bedangerous to be able to purchase a firearm.
VI-4 The existing attorney general's opinion regarding the authority of universities and colleges to ban guns on campus should be clarified immediately. The universities in Virginia have received or developed various interpretations of the law. The Commonwealth's attorney general has provided some guidance to universities, but additional clarity is needed from the attorney general or from state legislation regarding guns at universities and colleges.
VI-5 The Virginia General Assembly should adopt legislation in the 2008 session clearly establishing the right of every institution of higher education in the Commonwealth to regulate the possession of firearms on campus if it so desires. The panel recommends that guns be banned on campus grounds and in buildings unless mandated by law.
VI-6 Universities and colleges should make clear in their literature what their policy is regarding weapons on campus. Prospective students and their parents, as well as university staff, should know the policy related to concealed weapons so they can decide whether they prefer an armed or arms-free learning environment.
Chapter VII: Double Murder at West Ambler Johnston
VII-1 In the preliminary stages of an investigation, the police should resist focusing on a single theory and communicating that to decision makers.
VII-2 All key facts should be included in an alerting message, and it should be disseminated as quickly as possible, with explicit information.
VII-3 Recipients of emergency messages should be urged to inform others.
VII-4 Universities should have multiple communication systems, including some not dependent on high technology. Do not assume that 21st century communications may survive an attack or natural disaster or power failure.
VII-5 Plans for canceling classes or closing the campus should be included in the university's emergency operations plan. It is not certain that canceling classes and stopping work would have decreased the number of casualties at Virginia Tech on April 16, but those actions may have done so. Lockdowns or cancellation of classes should be considered on campuses where it is feasible to do so rapidly.
Chapter VIII: Mass Murder at Norris Hall
VIII-1 Campus police everywhere should train with local police departments on response to active shooters and other emergencies.
VIII-2 Dispatchers should be cautious when giving advice or instructions by phone to people in a shooting or facing other threats without knowing the situation. This is a broad recommendation that stems from reviewing other U.S. shooting incidents as well, such as the Columbine High School shootings. For instance, telling someone to stay still when they should flee or flee when they should stay still can result in unnecessary deaths. When in doubt, dispatchers should just be reassuring. They should be careful when asking people to talk into the phone when they may be overheard by a gunman. Also, local law enforcement dispatchers should become familiar with the major campus buildings of colleges and universities in their area.
VIII-3 Police should escort survivors out of buildings, where circumstances and manpower permit.
VIII-4 Schools should check the hardware on exterior doors to ensure that they are not subject to being chained shut.
VIII-5 Take bomb threats seriously. Students and staff should report them immediately, even if most do turn out to be false
Chapter IX: EMS Response
IX-1 Montgomery County, VA should develop a countywide emergency medical services, fire, and law enforcement communications center to address the issues of interoperability and economies of scale.
IX-2 A unified command post should be established and operated based on the National Incident Management System Incident Command System model. For this incident, law enforcement would have been the lead agency.
IX-3 Emergency personnel should use the National Incident Management System procedures for nomenclature, resource typing and utilization, communications, interoperability, and unified command.
IX-4 An emergency operations center must be activated early during a mass casualty incident.
IX-5 Regional disaster drills should be held on an annual basis. The drills should include hospitals, the Regional Hospital Coordinating Center, all appropriate public safety and state agencies, and the medical examiner's office. They should be followed by a formal postincident evaluation.
IX-6 To improve multi-casualty incident management, the Western Virginia Emergency Medical Services Council should review/revise the Multi-Casualty Incident Medical Control and the Regional Hospital Coordinating Center functions.
IX-7 Triage tags, patient care reports, or standardized Incident Command System forms must be completed accurately and retained after a multi-casualty incident. They are instrumental in evaluating each component of a multi-casualty incident.
IX-8 Hospitalists, when available, should assist with emergency department patient dispositions in preparing for a multicasualty incident patient surge.
IX-9 Under no circumstances should the deceased be transported under emergency conditions. It benefits no one and increases the likelihood of hurting others.
IX-10 Critical incident stress management and psychological services should continue to be available to EMS providers as needed.
Chapter X: Office of the Chief Medical Examiner
The following recommendations reflect the research conducted by the panel, after-action reports from Commonwealth agencies, and other studies regarding fatality management issues.
X-1 The chief medical examiner should not be one of the staff performing the postmortem exams in mass casualty events; the chief medical examiner should be managing the overall response.
X-2 The Office of the Chief Medical Examminer (OCME) should work along with law enforcement, Virginia Department of
Criminal Justice Services( DCJS), chaplains, Department of Homeland Security, and other authorized entities in developing protocols and training to create a more responsive family assistance center (FAC).
X-3 The OCME and Virginia State Police in concert with FAC personnel should ensure that family members of the deceased are afforded prompt and sensitive notification of the death of a family member when possible and provide briefings regarding any delays.
X-4 Training should be developed for FAC, law enforcement, OCME, medical and mental health professionals, and others regarding the impact of crime and appropriate intervention for victim survivors.
X-5 OCME and FAC personnel should ensure that a media expert is available to manage media requests effectively and that victims are not inundated with intrusions that may increase their stress.
X-6 The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services should mandate training for law enforcement officers on death notifications.
X-7 The OCME should participate in disaster or national security drills and exercises to plan and train for effects of a mass fatality situation on ME operations.
X-8 The Virginia Department of Health should continuously recruit board-certified forensic pathologists and other specialty
positions to fill vacancies within the OCME. Being understaffed is a liability for any agency and reduces its surge capability.
X-9 The Virginia Department of Health should have several public information officers trained and well versed in OCME
operations and in victims services. When needed, they should be made available to the OCME for the duration of the event.
X-10 Funding to train and credential volunteer staff, such as the group from the Virginia Funeral Director's Association, should be made available in order to utilize their talents. Had this team been available, the family assistance center could have been more effectively organized.
X-11 The Commonwealth should amend its Emergency Operations Plan to include an emergency support function for mass fatality operations and family assistance. The new ESF should address roles and responsibilities of the state agencies. The topics of family assistance and notification are not adequately addressed in the National Response Plan (NRP) for the federal government and the state plan that mirrors the NRP also mirrors this weakness. Virginia has an opportunity to be a national leader by reforming their EOP to this effect.
Chapter XI: Immediate Aftermath and the Long Road to Healing
The director of Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund and the chief of the Victim Services Section (Department of Criminal Justice) conducted internal after-action reviews and prepared recommendations for the future based on the lessons that were learned. The recommendations with which the panel concurred are incorporated into the following recommendations.
XI-1 Emergency management plans should include a section on victim services that addresses the significant impact of homicide and other disaster-caused deaths on survivors and the role of victim service providers in the overall plan. Victim service professionals should be included in the planning, training, and execution of crisis response plans. Better guidelines need to be developed for federal and state response and support to local governments during mass fatality events.
XI-2 Universities and colleges should ensure that they have adequate plans to stand up a joint information center with a
public information officer and adequate staff during major incidents on campus. The outside resources that are available (including those from the state) and the means for obtaining their assistance quickly should be listed in the plan. Management of the media and of self directed volunteers should be included.
XI-3 When a family assistance center is created after a criminal mass casualty event, victim advocates should be called immediately to assist the victims and their families. Ideally, a trained victim service provider should be assigned to serve as a liaison to each victim or victim's family as soon as practical. The victim service should help victims navigate the agencies at the FAC.
XI-4 Regularly scheduled briefings should be provided to victims' families as to the status of the investigation, the identification process, and the procedures for retrieving the deceased. Local or state victim advocates should be present with the families or on behalf of out-of-state families who are not present so that those families are provided the same up-to-date information.
XI-5 Because of the extensive physical and emotional impact of this incident, both short- and long-term counseling should be made available to first responders, students, staff, faculty members, university leaders, and the staff of The Inn at Virginia Tech. Federal funding is available from the Office for Victims of Crime for this purpose.
XI-6 Training in crisis management is needed at universities and colleges. Such training should involve university and area-wide disaster response agencies training together under a unified command structure.
XI-7 Law enforcement agencies should ensure that they have a victim services section or identified individual trained and
skilled to respond directly and immediately to the needs of victims of crime from within the department. Victims of crime are best served when they receive immediate support for their needs. Law enforcement and victim services form a strong support system for provision of direct and early support.
XI-8 It is important that the state's Victims Services Section work to ensure that the injured victims are linked with local victim assistance professionals for ongoing help related to their possible needs.
XI-9 Since all crime is local, the response to emergencies caused by crime should start with a local plan that is linked to the wider community. Universities and colleges should work with their local government partners to improve plans for mutual aid in all areas of crisis response, including that of victim services.
XI-10 Universities and colleges should create a victim assistance capability either inhouse or through linkages to county-based professional victim assistance providers for victims of all crime categories. A victim assistance office or designated campus victim advocate will ensure that victims of crime are made aware of their rights as victims and have access to services.
XI-11 In order to advance public safety and meet public needs, Virginia's colleges and universities need to work together as a coordinated system of state-supported institutions.

Relief efforts in the city for victims of a typhoon in the Philippines are just getting underway, while nonprofits like Team Rubicon and Catholic Relief Services are already on the ground in the Philippines. NY1's Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.
Typhoon Haiyan leveled communities and killed thousands of people.
Bodies litter streets, the injured overwhelm hospitals, and survivors are desperate for food and water.
Some put a public well to use, unsure if it's contaminated.
"We still drink from it because we need to survive," said one victim.
Tacloban is just one of the Filipino cities facing a humanitarian crisis. The U.S. Marines flew over the coastal area Monday, saying that Friday's storm destroyed or damaged every single building in the coastal city.
The team hit the ground at the airport to make delivering relief supplies a 24-hour operation.
"This runway that you see, which can only be used today during daylight hours, we'll have it available by tomorrow with lights strong enough along it, we'll have radars up, so we can deconflict, make sure there's no problems with airspace," said Brigadier General Paul Kennedy of the U.S. Marine Corps.
An organized effort is needed, especially in more rural areas. There are thousands of islands.
The Filipino military continues to race to remote areas to evacuate people waiting days for medical attention.
C-130s fly survivors into an airfield in Cebu, many of them still in shock.
"A lot of our people are dead. Our friends are dead. Some of our family members are dead," said one victim. "So it's really devastating."
The real work is just beginning across the country, as volunteers sort through rice, noodles and canned goods.
"Water is desperately needed. Food is desperately needed. Shelter is desperately needed," said Josh Lockwood, the regional CEO of the American Red Cross Greater New York.
In New York, the American Red Cross needs more volunteers to help family members here find loved ones in the Philippines.
"Once you start helping people, it's the kind of thing you want to do all the time," said Jim Freeman, a volunteer with the American Red Cross.

Found June 20, 2013 on Start 'N' Park Blog:
PLAYERS: Trevor Bayne, Ricky Stenhouse, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Team: No. 6 Valvoline NextGen Ford Mustang Crew Chief: Mike Kelley Chassis: RK-775 Bayne at Road America: Trevor Bayne had mixed results in his previous two outings at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. In 2010, Bayne started 20th and drove his way up through the pack to a top-10, finishing 10th. The next year, driving for Roush Fenway Racing, his car overheated leaving Bayne in 31st place. Bayne's Success on Road Courses: Bayne found success on several road courses, including winning the pole at Gateway Motorsports Park in 2010, then finishing third in the same race. In 2011, Bayne scored another top-10 by finishing ninth at Watkins Glen. The Car: Chassis RK-775 was used by the No. 6 team during both road races in the 2012 Championship season. At Road America, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. drove RK-775 to an 11th place finish; at Montreal he came in 12th. Valvoline NextGen will return as a sponsor on the No. 6 car at Road America this weekend. The NextGen paint scheme was also on the car at Phoenix in March. Local Connections: The trip to Elkhart Lake will be a homecoming for Pit Supporter Jon Dhein. Dhein's hometown of Chilton, WI is a short 30-minute drive north of Road America. Bayne on Racing at Road America: "I'm excited to get onto the road course at Road America. It's always a challenge because you have to set up the car so differently and you have to adjust your driving style, but my team and I went out to Miller Motorsports Park back in May to get some practice on a road course so hopefully we'll be ready to get out there and keep our momentum going." -Roush Fenway Racing

2007 Barolo DOCG, Vigna La Rosa, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
The Vigna La Rosa Barolo is harmonious, well-rounded and elegant in taste; its very fine and delicate bouquet is reminiscent of faded roses and, with the ageing process, tends to acquire a pronounced earthy style but with a velvety sort of taste.
2013 Briccotondo Arneis, Langhe DOC, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. The bouquet conjures up exotic fruit, ripe pears, hawthorn blossom and acacia honey. Soft and full on the palate with a refreshing crispness and luscious finish.
NV Asti DOCG, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
An aromatic, sparkling wine with notes of musk, sage and honey on the nose and a taste of just picked grapes.
2013 Moscato d'Asti, Moncucco DOCG, Fontanafredda(12x50cl)
Attractive bright golden yellow in the glass, with an intensely aromatic nose of white petals, ripe peaches and lightly spiced pears. Medium bodied with a delicious honeyed richness of concentrated grapey fruit flavours, delicately balanced with cleansing acidity and a youthful, lively pettiance that lifts the palate and keeps the wine refreshing and dangerously easy to drink!
2011 Marne Brune, Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Nebbiolo Marne Brune stands out for its fragrance, which is already evident in its ruby-red colour of varying intensity depending on the vintage, and is confirmed on the nose by bouquets of flowers and wild fruit, and on the palate by its strong personality and dry, nicely almond-like taste.
2010 Barolo DOCG, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Classic dark 'tar' and perfumed 'roses' on the nose, light in colour but with great power, concentration and well balanced ripe tannins. This is a wine to match with rich foods and game dishes.
2012 Briccotondo Barbera Piemonte DOC Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Deep rustic red in colour with an aromatic, spicy nose of red fruits and damsons. Medium bodied and soft, with balancing structure to the blackberry and morello cherry flavours, finishing rounded and supple with a hint of liquorice.
2013 Barbera d'Alba DOC Raimonda, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Deep garnet in colour with a subtle nose of red berry fruit. Soft and elegant on the palate with fine ripe tannin and a complex finish.
2008 Barolo DOCG, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Classic dark 'tar' and perfumed 'roses' on the nose, light in colour but with great power, concentration and well balanced ripe tannins. This is a wine to match with rich foods and game dishes.
2013 Gavi Briccotondo, Fontanafredda(6x75cl)
Lemons and minerals on the nose followed by a fresh palate with medium body and no oak.

How a Single Tweet Launched A Cloud for Climbing
By Troy Farah
By New Times
The first lyric of "Be Calm," the opening track of Aim and Ignite, finds Nate Ruess narrating "as I walk through the streets of my new city." The former Format singer has always let his life affect his lyrics in very literal ways, and his move to New York City and work with new band fun. quickly prove no exception — which means there's at least some level of umbrage Arizonans should take with the fact that the first single is called "At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used to Be)."
But leaving Phoenix really does seem to have cheered the guy up, as he's joined ranks with Anthallo's Andrew Dost and Steel Train's Jack Antonoff to create a record full of ornately crafted pop tunes. It's a natural progression from the Format's second (and at this point, final) record, Dog Problems — there's no stripped-down "On Your Porch" here, with each song tilting toward the melodically chaotic and the bombastically layered. Female backing vocals ("Be Calm"), rousing harmonies ("Benson Hedges"), horns ("Barlights") and steel pans ("At Least I'm Not as Sad") help diversify a familiar sound, and fans who appreciated the more complex and less radio-friendly elements of the Format should be grateful Ruess moved away.

Wanted Georgia man arrested in Stafford
A man wanted on armed robbery-related charges in Georgia was apprehended in Stafford County early Sunday after he and others were found in a vehicle full of marijuana smoke, police said.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Bill Kennedy said deputies Gregory Gabrielli and Jason Kreider were on foot in the area of Motel 6 at 401 Warrenton Road when they noticed three people in a vehicle right outside the front office.
The deputies walked to the car, which was running, and smelled a strong odor of marijuana, Kennedy said. They asked for identification, but the man in the back seat said he didn't have one. He gave police what turned out to be a phony name and said he couldn't remember his Social Security number.
After seeing evidence of what appeared to be drug activity in the back seat, the deputies asked the man to step out of the back of the vehicle.
Once the man got out of the car, the man cursed at the deputies and tried to run, but Gabrielli quickly caught him and took him during the ground.
The man struggled with Gabrielle, but abruptly stopped after the deputy drew his stun gun. The Taser was not used, and the man began lamenting about all the trouble he was in.
Kennedy said he told deputies he had given them a phony name, but initially refused to give his real name.
He was eventually identified as 21-year-old Tourae D. Mack, who is wanted in Georgia on a probation violation stemming from an armed robbery charge.
During a subsequent search, a gun in a brown leather holster was found in one pocket and a bag of marijuana was found in another.
Mack was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, giving false identification to law enforcement, possessing a firearm as a felon and obstruction of justice.
He was issued a warrant for the Georgia probation violation charge and placed in the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond.

AboutA very high quality amethyst cathedral geode from Brazil. In every shipment there are one or two geodes that stand out and this is one of them. The geode is very hollow and has medium to dark amethyst throughout. What sets this geode apart from many others is the very nice, well-developed cluster of larger amethyst crystals in the upper right corner of the geode. None of these crystals has any damage - see the close-up photographs. ... [Read more]

what year?
So my friend shipped me this bike, and it looks like it sat in his shed for a good 8 months without being touched prior to me getting it. He had bought a new battery for it, and hooked the battery up backwards . So after I corrected that, and replaced the fuse it blew, I try to start the bike. I drained the tank and put fresh gas in, and turn the key.
Everything works, lights, horn, the works but the fuel pump doesn't prime. Using a electrical sensor (the cheapo things that light up) the fuel pump is getting power. But it doesn't do anything. All the fuses are good, I checked the relays and they are good, I don't know what to do.
Anyone have any insight? Want to have a look? I'm thoroughly frustrated with it at this point.
what year?
2005 cbr 600 f4i
jump it.
If the fuel pump isn't priming then I don't thing jump starting it will help
i know fuel pumps are semi easy to replace on the CBR and that there have been people who have had to replace them for issuse like you explain.
the only other thing I can think of is a mouse got up in there and chewed a wire, it's amaizing where I find mouse poop on my bike during my winter cleaning and stuff. those little fucks can squeeze anywhere.
could also be a rusty wire like the issue I had with my CBR too?

I think the the battery is weak....jump it.....
ask me how i know..
with a car battery? car not running of course.
No need to jump it. If you are worried about voltage take a multimeter to the battery before you hook up a car battery to it.
It is most likely a wiring or pump issue.
Wirelessly posted
With ignition on and without starting you will I believe have 12V on both wires to the pump. When you put the kill switch in 'run' one leg should drop to ground (fuel pump relay does this).
Doesn't see the light and decide power is good. It needs 12V across the pump, and 12V on both wires is 0V across the pump.
Also, you will only see 12V there for about 5 seconds.
Put ignition in run and listen for the relay when you put the kill switch in run. You should hear it. If not, the relay is bad or the fuse has blown possibly.
The wire running to the pump has three wires inside it. With the ignition on and the kill switch on 'run' I hear the relay click, and I get power to one of the 3 wires going to the pump, the other two have no power. I'm going to stop and get a real meter on my way home and see what I get for voltage on that wire. If only one wire has power, what would that mean? I definitely hear the relay click, and when I hit the start button the bike turns over and over. The only problem seems to be the bike won't prime.
Wirelessly posted
Do you hear the relay click on and off again 5 seconds later? If so, I would say the pump is bad. I would try rapping on it with a small hammer gently. It might just be stuck.
just try jumping the thing....if it does not work i will shut up.
Wirelessly posted
Then you're not hearing the fuel pump relay. That's another relay. Probably headlight or something.
The fuel pump not priming is because the ecu is not happy that all systems are satisfied. Sidestand if it's in neutral, all sensors (maf, tps etc). Do you have a flashing efi light?
By the way, that third wire is for what is listed as the "Fuel Reverse Sensor", which I'm guessing is supposed to be the fuel reserve sensor, aka the gas light. It shouldn't affect the fuel pump, and the wire should be brown with a green stripe. If you are getting 12 volts between the two wires to the fuel pump, then it seems everything up to that point is working. I would try jumping it, as it can't hurt (CAR OFF). If that doesn't work it seems to be a problem with the fuel pump itself.
So just hook jumper cables from my car to the bike battery leaving the car off?
Wirelessly posted
Call me.
Wirelessly posted
Is the nose of the bike on the bike? The tipover sensor is in the nose.

Lol backdoored ftw.

I'd agree, many people give in too easily. I main Tristana and nothing is more satisfying than gettin pushed to your own nexus re-spawning and acing an over stretched team then pushin mid right back into their nexus before they respawn. Luck favors the bold not the quitters.
This sounds great, we can all play together and just enjoy the game. Finally a good bunch of peeps. More to add. Im excited, but yup, time to sleep. LOL Tomorrow its game TIME!
not timma
I despise people that refuse to surrender when it is ridiculously one sided. Is it possible to come back from a game? Almost always, but you rely on the other team suddenly becoming less effective or competent. Obviously it happens from time to time, but stupidity in general is something that annoys me. I'm not sure what is worse, losing a game due to bad plays or winning a game that should have been lost because the other team decides to piss away their lead.
Inb4 mass thumbs down, you guys have your opinions and I have mine.

WebBrowserPassView 1.56
For example, you can use it to view passwords for your Facebook, Twitter, Gmail or Yahoo! accounts, as long as they are stored in one of the supported web browsers.
Why opt for portable programs
As installation is not a prerequisite, you can simply drop the executable file anywhere on the hard disk and click it to run.
There is also the possibility of saving WebBrowserPassView to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any workstation without previous installers.
What's more, the tool does not add new entries to the Windows registry, Start menu or other location on the disk. A standard file deletion is enough to remove it.
Simple looks
The interface is based on a standard window with a neat layout, where all found passwords are automatically loaded at initialization. You can check out their matching URL, web browser and user name.
Exporting options
It is possible to copy all or just the selected items to the Clipboard, or export them to a report with the HTML format, as well as choose the columns to include in the report.
Several configuration settings to play with
WebBrowserPassView allows users to tinker with some options. They can exclude web browsers from the password retrieval database, enter the Firefox master password if it exists (it is mandatory to recover keys), as well as point out the paths to the Firefox profile and installation files, Chrome user data folder and Opera wand.dat file.
Performance and final thought
The application has a minimal impact on system performance, using a low amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and creates a report rapidly and error-free. We have not experienced any issues throughout our evaluation, since WebBrowserPassView did not hang or crash. Taking into account that it receives regular updates for the latest web browser versions, the program should please all users.

Business Systems Modernization:
IRS Has Satisfied Congressional Direction on the Custodial Accounting Project
GAO-01-444R: Published: Mar 16, 2001. Publicly Released: Mar 16, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As part of its business systems modernization program, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is acquiring a system known as the Custodial Accounting Project (CAP). In September 2000, Congress directed that IRS limit its spending on CAP until IRS provided a compelling business case for investing in this project and started managing CAP as an integrated part of the business systems modernization program. GAO found that IRS has satisfied both of these directives. However, its business case guidance does not explicitly specify cost-effectiveness analyses as a way to economically justify proposed investments and define when and how these analyses should be prepared. As a result, IRS runs the risk of spending time and money developing future business cases for proposed system solutions that, like CAP, cannot be adequately justified on the basis of costs and benefits alone.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS agreed with this recommendation and, in December 2001, IRS issued revised business case procedures that incorporated guidance on the appropriate use of cost-effectiveness analyses.
Recommendation: The Commissioner of Internal Revenue should direct the Chief Financial Officer to revise, consistent with Office of Management and Budget requirements, IRS' business case guidance to explicitly specify cost-effectiveness analyses as a method of justifying system investments that meet prescribed criteria.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS agreed with this recommendation and, since December 2001, has trained staff on the use of the revised business case guidance.
Recommendation: To ensure that the revised guidance is applied appropriately, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should direct the Business Systems Modernization Executive to train modernization staff in its use.
