Apps for truckers on a roll

Technology is turning the old-school system of trucking goods from Point A to Point B into a sophisticated process that relies on interactive and real-time web capabilities.
Chicago — the national transportation hub — has become the focal point of a battle among start-up and mainline truck brokers, known as third-party logistics companies, to ship freight at the lowest cost on the quickest routes.
Technology lets truckers use mobile apps and geolocation devices to plan the quickest routes, and to find the nearest rest stops, lowest-price fuel stations and freight pickups on-the-go.
The fierce competition is killing small, independent companies, but opening a sweet spot for Chicago-area up-and-coming players such as AFN, Command Transportation, Coyote Logistics, Echo Global, Hub Group, JBS Logistics, Load Delivered Logistics and Total Quality Logistics. Even the largest logistics company, C.H. Robinson of Eden Prairie, Minn., is growing because the demand for less-costly brokered freight hauling outpaces the supply of trucks.
Though all of the companies boast that they are hiring job-hungry college graduates at a rapid pace, Load Delivered boasts a management team consisting solely of people younger than 30 and a plan to grow on its own rather than by acquiring other companies.
"We think our 'Gen Y' leadership gives us a strong advantage," said CEO and co-founder Robert Nathan, referring to the Generation Y age group in their 20s who make up the fastest-growing segment of today's workforce. Nathan's founding partner is Jon Michelon, an early investor in what is now Command Transportation and great-grandson of Continental Coffee Company founder Jacob Cohn.
"Gen Y's strength is multi-tasking, and that's a key part of today's automated and real-time solutions," Nathan said.
The people driving, loading and managing the trucks are also increasingly Generation Y themselves — Millennials taking over from retiring Baby Boomers, Nathan said.
Load Delivered will hire 50 people this year and expects to hire another 70 in 2013. The company aims to nearly double its current workforce next year, to a total of 160.
The other companies are hiring at a fast clip, too, with Coyote Logistics hiring "several hundred" this year on top of its current 600-employee workforce in Chicago and Total Quality Logistics adding 50 to its 90-employee West Loop workforce. C.H. Robinson added 70 jobs this year to its 1,400 workers in the Chicago area.
Load Delivered recruits most of its hires fresh out of college so it can train them in its system, and makes an effort to hire women and people who've played on high-school or college sports teams.
"If someone has learned to take direction from a coach, he or she will have a better ability to listen to managers and learn how to be strong businessmen or women," said Nathan, whose great-great grandfather, Julius Kramer, started what became The Pullman Couch Company, formed in 1906 in Chicago.
The company's latest app is being spearheaded by a 21-year-old intern — Marcus Ampon of Highland Park, a senior at Indiana University in Bloomington majoring in financial management.
Ampon became one of the company's in-house IT technicians after he started setting up computer networking systems. His initiative won him a spot in Load Delivered's incubator program, where he is working at the LogisticalApps division.
The division is one of two that Load Delivered's incubator program launched to appeal to Gen Y workers.
LogisticalApps develops mobile apps so transportation managers at the warehouse can use hand-held devices to talk with drivers, manage paperwork and use social-networking tools to talk with customers and colleagues.
The up-and-coming brokers aren't taking customers away from C.H. Robinson because the need for their services has grown two to three times the value of the nation's output of goods and services, known as gross domestic product, and they stand to pluck twice more marketshare in the next decade, said Nate Brochmann, an equity research analyst at William Blair & Co. in Chicago.
That's because companies from Walmart to high-end department stores are keeping inventory lean and relying on the outsourced brokers to deliver their goods over increasingly complex routes, Brochmann said.
"Initially, the companies didn't trust brokers — who don't own their own trucks — to get their loads moved," he said. "But the brokers, using technology, can now offer more services like taking loads off rail and onto trucks and helping plan distribution strategy."
The truck brokerage's hiring growth got a boost earlier this year when the City Colleges of Chicago said it will build a transportation, distribution and logistics center at Olive-Harvey College to prepare students for careers in ground, air and rail transportation and the routing and back-end operations that go with it.
The 200,000-square-foot center, a $42.2 million project, is expected to open in Spring 2015.

Wood pellet shortage means nothing to burn
Wednesday, March 5, 2014
DOVER — For days, the phone has been ringing nearly nonstop at Nordic Stove Shoppe in Dover. The question is often the same.
"Most pellet consumers went into the heating season basing their buying habits on the last couple of years and we have had a significantly colder winter than the last two years," he said.
Another factor: More people are using pellet stoves as a primary or supplemental heat source than in previous years, stoking demand for the fuel, Niebling said.
Taken together, many store shelves empty as the coldest winter in recent memory drags on.
Indeed, low pellet supplies follow reports this winter of dwindling firewood stocks and surging propane and heating oil prices.
Lowe's in Rochester and Walmart and Home Depot stores in Somersworth were completely sold out of wood pellets this week. Employees at each store said shipments were on the way but weren't sure when they would arrive.
"Due to high demand in the area, our regional vendors have a smaller supply of wood pellets," Home Depot corporate spokeswoman Catherine Woodling said in an email. "That being said, we're working with our vendors from across the country to replenish our supplies regularly and as quickly as possible.
With large retailers out of stock, smaller stores have been filling the gap.
More than 45 people visited Southern Maine Renewable Fuels in Wells, Maine, Saturday despite a 10-bag limit, according to its website.
Meanwhile, more than 250 people visited D & J Home and Hearth in Sanford, Maine, on Friday and Saturday looking for pellets, store manager Danny Hodgkins said.
"We are limiting (supply) because of the all new customers we are seeing," he said, adding that the company has tried to serve its longtime customers first. "We are seeing people we have never seen before."
McManus Fuels in Barrington has been limiting customers to five 40-pound bags of pellets.
"Please don't ask if you can get 5 for you and 5 for your friend … not happening," the company said on its website. "We would rather see many get fewer than a few get many."
The owner of McManus Fuels declined to comment and attempts this week to reach Southern Maine Renewable Fuels were not successful.
For one thing, retailers expect more customers to purchase large pellet quantities during the summer months. Manufacturers also are expected to boost production to meet future demand.
"The market responded back in 2007 when there was a real run on pellets and we saw a significant increase in demand," Niebling said. "When I say the market will respond, I think you will see interest in new capacity."

On the Relationship between Innovation and Wage Inequality: New Evidence from Canadian Cities by Sébastien Breau, Dieter F. Kogler and Kenyon C. Bolton
Abstract: In this article, we examine the link between innovation and earnings inequality across Canadian cities over the 1996–2006 period. We do so using a novel data set that combines information from the Canadian long-form census and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The analysis reveals that there is a positive relationship between innovation and inequality: cities with higher levels of innovation have more unequal distributions of earnings. Other factors influencing differences in inequality include city size, manufacturing and government employment, the percentage of visible minority in an urban population, and educational inequality. These results are robust to the use of different measures of inequality, innovation, alternative specifications, and instrumental variables estimations. Questions are thus raised about how the benefits of innovation are distributed in society and the long-term sustainability of such trends.

Juggling with Proximity and Distance: Collaborative Innovation Projects in the Danish Cleantech Industry by Teis Hansen
Abstract: Studies increasingly apply a multidimensional proximity framework in the analysis of collaborations between actors. This article explores the influence of collaboration motives on the desired proximity characteristics of partnerships in innovation projects based on 50 interviews with representatives from Danish cleantech firms. How search criteria along proximity dimensions differ depends on the purposes of the collaborations. In this way, the analysis distinguishes between the types of collaboration, where geographical proximity is considered highly important and those where geographically distant partners are preferred. Geographical proximity plays an important role in partnerships motivated by interaction around actual product development and knowledge creation, while long-distance relationships appear to be important for partnerships motivated by market access and cost considerations. The insight that the desired proximity characteristics of partnerships are indeed contingent on the motive for collaborating highlights how the proximity framework can be applied in the analysis of firm decision making.

Regional Branching Reconsidered: Emergence of the Fuel Cell Industry in European Regions by Anne Nygaard Tanner
Abstract: The literature on economic geography suffers from a lack of attention to the emergence of new industries. Recent literature on "regional branching" proposes that new industries emerge in regions where preexisting economic activities are technologically related to the emerging industry. This article provides a more grounded basis for the emerging literature on regional branching by confronting the regional branching thesis with the realities of an emerging industry, namely, the fuel cell industry. The analysis is based on patent data and qualitative interviews conducted in a selection of European NUTS2 (nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) regions. The findings can be summarized as follows. First, the analysis reveals that in the case of the emerging fuel cell industry, regional diversification is dominated by firm diversification, which complements previous studies' findings that entrepreneurial spin-offs dominate regional diversification. Second, the study corroborates the assumption that the process of regional branching relies on knowledge generated by nonindustrial actors such as universities and research institutes. Third, the findings suggest that care should be taken in ascribing the underlying logic of regional branching to the principle of technological relatedness alone. The article shows how some regional diversification processes occur in regions where preexisting economic activities are not technologically related to the emerging industry, for instance, when user industries apply new technologies to their product portfolio. The importance of further investigating and disentangling different dimensions of relatedness and their impact on regional branching is stressed.
Key words: regional branching, emerging industry, diversification, technological relatedness, fuel cells

Competition, Law, and the Power of (Imagined) Geography: Market Definition and the Emergence of Too-Big-to-Fail Banking in the United States, by Brett Christophers
Abstract: This article explores the role of antitrust (or competition) law in the recent historical evolution of the U.S. commercial banking sector. A core component of antitrust law is the calculative practice of market definition, which involves identifying not only the product or service attributes of a market but also, pointedly, its geographic extent. Geographic market definition—and the geographic knowledges it furnishes—is the focus of the article. It argues that these legal market maps ("the law's markets," that is to say) materially shape on-the-ground market and competitive realities. The article develops this argument through a study of the recent history of U.S. antitrust theory and practice in regard to commercial banking. It claims that the particular nature of the geographic models created through this practice is pivotal to explaining the history of evolution of that sector in the final decades of the twentieth century—and most especially, large-scale industry consolidation at the national scale. In the process, the article aims to contribute not only to financial geography but also to three relatively-underdeveloped economic-geographic literatures: on the implication of geographic knowledges in political-economic change; on the geographies of markets; and on the role of the law in economic-geographic transformation.
Key words: Antitrust (competition) law, U.S., too-big-to-fail banks, markets, geographic knowledges, calculative practices

The leak from site of the deadly Gulf of Mexico oil rig explosion is five times bigger than estimated – 5,000 barrels a day, not 1,000 as previously thought. Meanwhile the US Coast Guard is likely to burn off some of the surface slick on Thursday, after carrying out a test burn on Wednesday with BP.
The burning, as The New York Times reports, is a relatively well-established way of removing leaked oil. (The photo above is from a joint Canadian-American test carried out in Newfoundland in 1993.)

When I first started watching bike movies in the early '90's, they were truly awful yet somewhat addictive…
I've been really enjoying the Norco Shinobi lately, as it feels far more like the sort of bike I'd use to shuttle steep and technical trails- not a million miles off my Ragley. So at the weekend I headed out to a local spot to hit a trail I worked on over the summer, specifically with my Ragley in mind. It's steep, a lot of it off camber and you need a lot of Trials style stoppie turns to get round some of the steeper drop away turns. If ridden right, it's got great flow, but I imagine it would be quite off putting for some to ride.
Jake here. Over the last couple of weeks we've been doing a bit of filming about what I get up to as an MBUK tester.
At the end of last week we went product testing with the suspension technicians from SRAM.
Yep, that's right. I've gone and done it. I'm now part of the wagon wheel, circus stunting, heavy cyclocross monstercross and not-a-proper-mountain-bike crowd. Or at least that's what they say.
But what do they know?
The bike I'm out and about on the most is one of the very best things I've ever ridden- and has had a few changes lately…
2011 looks set to be a great year when it comes to testing in MBUK.

Tea finally making a stir in America - Times Online
While expats have been able to buy PG Tips for years in New York from a handful of twee specialist English food stores, ordinary supermarkets will now stock Britain's biggest selling tea brand across America
The problem remains is that my dear American friends are only trusted with wussy 110 v electricity. A hamster in a wheel could boil a kettle faster. Even here the coffee supping Europeans have weakened our jolt juice from a proper 240 v to an armflapping metrosexual 220 v. Without a proper amount of umph in your socket the water only simmers, you need a full James Wattian rolling boil, the water spitting and hissing as it is poured over the precious tea leaves. So I am afraid the Septics are going to be disappointed again as they wave a bag about in water that isn't hot enough to bathe in. Just don't go chucking it all in the harbour again, please.

Titans, Moguls and a Presidential Candidate Pay Respects to Mike Wallace
If the news business was like football, Mike Wallace would be its MVP. But if news was a beauty contest, Wallace would never have been Mr. Congeniality.
That's what hundreds of Mike Wallace's friends, colleagues and family — four generations of them — learned as they gathered at the Rose Hall at Time Warner Center to remember the "60 Minutes" original who died April 8 at age 93.
Morley Safer and Steve Kroft remembered Wallace's unrelenting competitive streak. When Kroft had set up an interview with Gov. Bill Clinton in 1988, amidst accusations of an extra-marital affair, Kroft says, "Mike offered me encouragement, while trying to take the story away from me."
Safer admitted months would go by without the two reporters even speaking to each other. In a taped piece, the late Ed Bradley echoed the sentiment, after Wallace stole a Manuel Noriega interview from him. "You and I didn't talk for six months," Bradley says to Wallace who is unmoved.
"He brought the same zeal to a story as he did to a penny ante poker game," said Safer.
Wallace even stole a story from his own son, Chris Wallace who, at the time, was working for ABC's "Primetime." In the Fall of 1997, young Wallace had set up an interview with comedian Chris Rock. Rock canceled not long before the shoot. Wallace later found out why.
"My old man had stolen the interview!" said Wallace. "And he knew he'd stolen it from me!" Bradley ended up conducting the Rock interview, mostly to make amends for the Noriega theft, but also to keep in good stead with his son.
"He was so exasperating and yet so endearing," said Wallace choking back tears.
"It took many years for us to find our path to each other," the Fox News anchor admitted. "He had a good heart. He could be naughty. But he was never mean."

If you have tried to have your acne treated by traditional methods, and nothing seems to work, then maybe you should consider blue light therapy. This type of therapy is also known as diode laser therapy. With blue light therapy, the skin is exposed to a low-intensity blue light laser which will get rid of acne. The type of acne that it treats often spreads quickly, so it is necessary to receive multiple treatments of blue light therapy. As far as side effects go, they are not very bad. Some side effects of blue light therapy are dryness and redness, which are temporary.
While this is a relatively new procedure for treating acne, blue light treatment is said to be very effective. Many people report that their acne is 80% cleared up after just a few treatments.
Blue light therapy works because it kills bacteria that is on the surface of the skin which causes acne breakouts. The best results are seen when the blue light therapy is used in combination with a good cleaning routine. The good facial cleaning routine is important because that will also help to get rid of the bacteria on your face and help prevent breakouts.
Red light therapy is often used in healing. It helps to stimulate collagen production. The differences between red and blue light therapy is that blue light kills the bacteria and red light is used in the healing. It is considered to be most effective when used in combination with one another. The blue light will kill the bacteria, and the red light will promote healing. A great way to treat acne is to have a regular cleaning routine, and use the blue and red light therapy.
If you are interested in using blue light therapy to treat acne, then you can have the procedure done at some spas and dermatologist's offices. There are also in home options that are available that use the blue light therapy. If you are interested in also using red light therapy in conjunction with the blue light, they sell at home kits for that as well. When you do blue light therapy for acne at home, you will usually do it twice a day. There are both tabletop devices that you can use as well as handheld devices. The tabletop takes about 15 minutes and the handheld device takes about 30 minutes to an hour. The devices that can be used at home cost between $150 – $300. Goggles are required to be used for both types of light therapy. If you do plan to have blue light therapy, then you should first see a dermatologist, so they can send you on the right path for your treatment.
Taking antibiotics has long been a solution for acne. Many people are becoming hesitant on what they are putting in their bodies. They simply do not want to take unnecessary medications, which could have a long term problem. Long term antibiotics can lead to many different problems such as digestion and elimination problems. So many people do not want to take antibiotics to get rid of the acne problem any more. For these people, blue light therapy is a great alternative. Blue light therapy can have great results, but you will need to have routine treatments done to have the best results. The bottom line is that if you have acne that you want to get rid of and you do not want to take harsh medications, then blue light therapy may be just what you are looking for. It comes at a reasonable cost with few side effects.

NCSL's election experts break down the midterm state legislative elections along voters' verdict on statewide ballot measures.
Current Issue
The 2011 legislative cycle was even more challenging than in previous years. Beginning in January 2012, 38 states and Puerto Rico have reported a combined $91 billion shortfall. This on top of shortfalls for the past several years means even less money for programs.
Since the great recession began, state legislatures have cut $510 billion from their budgets. Adding the $91 billion in additional necessary cuts brings the total to $600 billion since FY 2008, or half of the $1.2 trillion that the Congressional Supercommittee is seeking to cut from the federal budget.
But unlike the federal government, the states do not have to pay for social security or defense. Instead they have the big ticket items of education (both higher education and K – 12), corrections, transportation and Medicaid reimbursement. These programs take the largest share of the pie and are most likely to see the largest cuts. Environmental health, because of the fees most of its programs generate, is seen as an 'enterprise operation.' Since environmental health receive less general funds appropriations, it is less likely to suffer from general fund cuts.
On the other hand, environmental programs often are seen as an anathema to most Republicans, who now control the legislatures in 26 states and the legislature and governors' offices in 21. Democrats control the legislature in 15 states, with the control being split in the remaining 8 (Nebraska has a non-partisan legislature). After the November 2011elections (where Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia elected legislators, along with a handful of special elections), Republicans have an 3973 to 3324 legislative seat advantage over Democrats. The 2012 legislative sessions will see the most Republicans ever, with more state governments being controlled by Republicans than ever before.
In these tough times we are seeing state environmental health programs being dismantled. But not by legislative fiat. Rather, legislatures are cutting budgets where they can and streamlining policy if possible. State legislatures are not eliminating environmental health protection. They are simply forcing the state to do more with less, a mantra that many state agencies pass onto their local environmental health departments.
As with the 2009 and 2010 legislative sessions, having a less robust economy or more conservative elected officials does not translate into less legislation. During the 2011 legislative sessions, 1,096 bills on environmental health were introduced in 48 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. New York and New Jersey proposed the greatest number of laws, with New York proposing 226 bills and New Jersey proposing 130. Only Idaho and Wisconsin did not introduce any environmental health-related legislation.
By December, 131 laws had been enacted in 40 states. And in half the states, bills introduced in 2011 can carry-over into the 2012 sessions.
Sixteen laws were passed in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Virginia. Of those laws, six are devoted to radon issues, two are related to mold, and three are related to smoking.
RadonIL H 141 amends the Illinois Radon Awareness Act to require landlords to inform tenants and potential tenants of the presence of a radon hazard, if one is discovered after a radon test is conducted. The amendment applies only to "units located below the third story above ground level." Maine passed three laws regarding radon. Notably, ME H 783 requires landlords to have rental buildings tested for radon prior to March 1, 2014, and afterward once every 10 years.
MoldVA H 1768 holds tenants responsible for continuing to make rental payments in units where the landlord has deemed it necessary to temporarily relocate the tenant to perform mold mitigation activities. The temporary removal of the tenant from the rental property does not give the tenant the right to end the lease.
SmokingCA S 332, titled Rental Dwellings: Smoking, allows landlords to forbid tenants from smoking inside or outside of a rental unit, or anywhere on the rental property. Similarly, ME H 802 requires landlords to inform tenants of areas of a rental property where smoking is forbidden, which may include inside of a rental unit or any other areas on the rental property.
New York and Tennessee both passed laws related to the relationship between smoking and outdoor air quality. NY A 5516 bans smoking in outdoor areas of Metropolitan Transportation Authority rail stations. TN S 1936 allows local governments to ban smoking on the campuses of hospitals or public outdoor areas near a hospital.
Six laws in Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, New Jersey, Utah, and Wyoming were passed to address issues related to asbestos. Of those six, three of the laws passed related to liability issues.
Of note, NJ SJR 24 identifies September 26 as Mesothelioma Awareness Day.
The renewed presence of bedbugs has become increasingly worrisome to states and the public.
Arizona enacted AZ S 1306, which requires landlords to supply informational materials regarding bed bugs to tenants, and forbids landlords from leasing properties infested with bed bugs. Tenants may not bring items into a leased property that have been infested and must inform their landlord if they find an infestation in their home. The requirements of the statute do not apply to leases of single-family homes.
Ohio has found that bedbugs represent a growing threat to the state. In response, Ohio has enacted OH HR 31, which asks the EPA to grant an emergency exemption for the use of propoxur, an insecticide, in Ohio.
Nebraska and Oregon each passed one law related to biomonitoring and health tracking systems. Nebraska passed NE L 591, which compels the Department of Health and Human Services with the creation of a syndromic surveillance system. The law creates a means to track and report a variety of public health information.
OR S 107 permits the Health Authority to release information from the immunization registry and tracking and recall system for purposes of public health assessment and evaluation, including lead screenings.
Five laws in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and Maryland, were passed to address the use of BPA in certain products. Connecticut forbids the chemical's use in thermal receipt paper and cash register receipt paper via CT S 210. The law becomes effective October 1, 2013. Delaware bans the chemical from use in food and beverage containers for children via DE S 70. Maryland passed MD H 4 and MD S 151 to prevent the use of BPA in concentrations exceeding 0.5 ppb in containers for infant formula. The laws also prevent the state from buying infant formula containers that contain concentrations of BPA greater than 0.5 ppb.
Utah passed UT HJR 24 to conduct a number of studies, including a study of whether the state should ban BPA.
AR H 1385 created Act 146, which requires that homes built after January 1, 2012 in Arkansas be equipped with a low-voltage carbon monoxide detector on each floor.
CT H 5326 enacted Public Act 11-248, which requires that all public and private school buildings be equipped with carbon monoxide detectors.
Eleven laws were passed in nine states to address environmental health issues pertaining to children.
Although several states attempted to pass restrictions on smoking motor vehicles while children are passengers, only Arkansas was able to do so successfully. AR S 1004 passed as Act 811, which forbids smoking in a motor vehicle when a child under 14 years of age is present. The previous version of the law forbade smoking in a motor vehicle with a child under six years of age.
CO S 12 allows students to carry certain medications while in a public school, so long as the student has a treatment plan for a valid health condition or the school board has otherwise created a policy to allow students to carry medications. Similarly, Texas passed TX S 27 that mandates school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to create plans for the treatment of students who are susceptible to anaphylaxis.
Florida, Georgia, and Illinois passed laws to restrict smoking within the context of public schools. FL S 1430 allows school districts to limit smoking "on school district property." Likewise, GA HR 497 encourages "local school systems and schools" to forbid smoking on school campuses and to educate students about the harmful effects of smoking. IL S 1669 limits the circumstances under which a person may be permitted to drive a school bus, and, among other requirements, forbids smoking in vehicles.
Maryland, Maine, and Illinois have also passed laws to protect children from heavy metals. MD H 145 bans the manufacture or sale of children's jewelry that contains cadmium in concentrations greater than "0.0075% by weight. The law comes into effect on July 1, 2012. IL S 1943 amends the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act to create new standards for warning labels regarding lead-containing items. ME S 89 widens the availability of lead testing for children.
New Jersey and Washington each enacted one law related to the use of phosphorus-containing fertilizers. NJ A 2290 creates limits and guidelines for "the application, sale, and use" of fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus. The law also creates a certification program for professionals who apply fertilizer. WA H 1489 limits the sale and use of fertilizers containing phosphorus.
Forty-one states proposed 169 laws designed to address food safety issues. Ultimately, 30 laws were passed in 22 states, far more laws than were passed in any other issue area, indicating a heightened interest in addressing food safety standards.
Illinois passed a major food safety bill in the form of IL S 1852, which amends the Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act. In recognition of the increasing economic importance of farmers' markets within the state, the law creates a Farmers' Market Task Force. The Task Force assists the Department of Public Health in creating standards for food products sold at farmers' markets.
Cottage/Home-based FoodsCottage and home-based food production is an area of increasing legislative interest. Fifteen laws were proposed which related to the cottage food industry and foods produced in home-based facilities. Of the laws passed, seven were enacted in Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.
Some states chose to exempt home-based kitchens and cottage foods from inspection, so long as certain conditions are met. For example, AZ H 2103 exempts non-potentially hazardous foods made in a home kitchen from inspection by the Department of Health Services, as long as the foods to be sold are properly labeled. AR H 1323 exempts home-based food operations from permitting requirements, so long as the foods sold are not potentially hazardous.
Other states prefer to retain the ability to inspect cottage food producers. TN S 1850 amends § 53-8-117 of the Tennessee Code, which allows for the production and sale of non-potentially hazardous foods prepared in home-based kitchens. Food preparers are required to "have adequate knowledge of safe food handling practices." If the commissioner becomes aware that foods produced in a home kitchen have been contaminated and pose a threat to public health, the commissioner has the authority to forbid their sale until the kitchen undergoes an inspection.
WA S 5748 requires that cottage food operations undergo an annual inspection and hold a permit which must be renewed annually. Foods produced in a home kitchen must be non-potentially hazardous and sales may not exceed a predetermined yearly limit.
In the same vein, several states have passed laws exempting certain entities from meeting the requirements typically associated with establishments that serve or sell food to consumers. Laws in Virginia and California are key examples.
Virginia enacted two laws, VA S 117 and VA H 495, that exempt church kitchens and certain other groups and establishments from the regulations governing restaurants. California passed a similar law with CA A 1014. In addition to exempting churches, certain "care facilities," private residences, and certain other establishments are exempt from retail food facility regulations. Beer and wine tasting facilities where no potentially hazardous beverages and no food aside from crackers or pretzels are offered, are exempt.
Maine sought to strengthen its chemical safety law by amending the priority chemicals program. ME H 841 prohibits the state Department of Environmental Protection from initiating rulemaking unless the chemical at issue has been included in a regulatory agenda, creates a new list of chemicals of high concern, and specifies appropriate de minimis levels for each chemical of high concern. The law also limits the definitions of children's product and consumer product, encourages for safer alternatives and provides exemptions from disclosing information for priority chemicals and sales prohibitions.
Georgia H 40 requires manufacturers of engine coolant or antifreeze containing more than 10 percent ethylene glycol to include a bittering agent, to make it unpleasant to people and animals.
Lead hazard control was an important topic, as was the regulation of mercury.
Eight laws were passed that directly addressed lead as it relates to environmental health. Georgia and Utah adopted language to require renovators and contractors be trained on lead hazards. Rhode Island passed RI S 652 and RI H 5945, which allow for the creation of a lead court to conduct proceedings related to the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act and/or Lead Hazard Mitigation in Providence, as well as other lead-related actions.
Several states have passed laws to prevent lead poisoning. For example, MD H 1033: Lead Risk Reduction Standard, requires renters to ensure the safety of properties previously "affected" by lead-based paint.
Arkansas, on the other hand, has repealed the Lead-based Paint Hazard Act of 1997 through the passage of AR S 833, which also creates the Lead-based Paint Hazard Act of 2011. The Act moves the lead program to the Department of Health and updates licensing and training requirements for activities involving lead.
Six laws in five states have been passed to address mercury issues. IL S 1213 outlaws the sale of mercury switches within the state. Similarly, NY A 668 forbids the sale of mercury thermostats and other consumer devices with the exception of devices for the "visually impaired." In such a circumstance, plans for the proper disposal of the mercury-containing devices must be in place.
Maine, Virginia and Vermont have implemented laws to encourage the recycling or proper disposal of mercury-containing lamps and thermostats. ME S 145 allows recycling facilities that accept mercury containing lamps to use crushing devices if certain requirements are met. VT S 34 requires manufacturers of mercury containing lamps to collect and dispose of said lamps. Manufacturers must also prove that no other viable alternative to the use of mercury containing lamps exists, among other requirements. VA H 326 allows local governments to forbid the disposal of mercury-containing devices in private landfills if a program is in place to allow for proper recycling.
Thirteen laws were enacted in 12 states regarding pesticides.
California and New Hampshire have each passed laws related to mosquito control. CA SCR 10 identified April 12 through 30, 2011, to be West Nile Virus and Mosquito and Vector Control Awareness Week in an effort to raise public awareness of mosquito control issues. New Hampshire passed NH H 483 to allow local governments to control mosquito populations through the use of biological agents. The agents may be applied to wetlands and other "water bodies" in areas "where a public health threat is declared, or has been declared within the last three years."
Eight states passed 11 laws substantially related to toxics and chemicals. The laws address a variety of issues. This article focuses on those laws which address uranium, Chinese drywall, and brominated flame retardants.
UraniumAZ SCM 1003 was enacted to support veterans who have been exposed to depleted uranium, which has been linked to serious health concerns by the World Health Organization. The law asks the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense to assist any veteran who has been exposed to depleted uranium, as well as their dependents, in receiving testing for uranium exposure.
Chinese DrywallVirginia has successfully passed two laws to mitigate harms associated with the use of Chinese drywall. VA H 46 establishes the Virginia Defective Drywall Correction and Restoration Assistance Fund. The Fund will be used to make loans to homeowners and other entities for restoration or mitigation costs associated with defective drywall. VA S 942 requires sellers or renters of property to disclose the presence of defective drywall to buyers or tenants. A tenant who discovers the presence of defective drywall may end the lease within 60 days of the discovery of the defective materials.
Brominated Flame RetardantsMaryland has forbidden the use of decabrominated diphenyl ether (DecaBDE) on mattresses, furniture intended "for residential use," and electronic equipment in concentrations exceeding "one tenth of 1%" of the total mass of the object in question. On December 31, 2012, the restriction will be extended to all products except military and transportation equipment. Beginning December 31, 2013, the restriction will also apply to transportation and military equipment and their components. However, MD S 221 and MD H 54 have allowed an exception for the use of DecaBDE in "certain aircraft."
Mississippi, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Tennessee each passed laws related to water quality.
Interestingly, Nebraska and Tennessee both passed laws regarding fluoridation of municipal water supplies. NE L 36 requires cities and towns with populations greater than 1,000 people to fluoridate their water supplies. Municipalities with populations of more than 1,000 may pass local ordinances to ban the fluoridation of water. TN S 1055 requires public water systems that choose to discontinue fluoridating their water to inform the Departments of Environment and Conservation and Health.
MS H 105 allows the use of on-site wastewater disposal systems for individual homeowners and establishes guidelines for their installation. The law also allows for the certification of disposal system maintenance personnel.
IL S 2106 requires manufacturers of certain electronic devices, such as computers and televisions, to, "recycle or reuse at least 40% of the total weight," of the devices produced. This standard will be in place through 2012, and will increase to 50% for 2013.
TX S 710 requires sellers of residential property to disclose the presence of a single, blockable main drain in pools or hot tubs/spas, if present. The stated reason for the disclosure is the potential hazard presented by the drain to trap a person via suction.
1096 bills proposed in 48 States and Washington, DC: Alabama (5), Alaska (5), Arizona (10), Arkansas (11), California (36), Colorado (3), Connecticut (32), Delaware (2), Florida (27), Georgia (11), Hawaii (48), Illinois (52), Indiana (9), Iowa (32), Kansas (5), Kentucky (9), Louisiana (4), Maine (25), Maryland (31), Massachusetts (44), Michigan (8), Minnesota (16), Mississippi (20), Missouri (10), Montana (9), Nebraska (7), Nevada (2), New Hampshire (12), New Jersey (130), New Mexico (3), New York (226), North Carolina (6), North Dakota (6), Ohio (6), Oklahoma (16), Oregon (29), Pennsylvania (11), Rhode Island (15), South Carolina (14), South Dakota (7), Tennessee (25), Texas (21), Utah (6), Vermont (13), Virginia (36), Washington (19), West Virginia (14), Wyoming (6), and Washington, DC (2).
131 laws enacted in 40 states: Alabama (1), Arizona (4), Arkansas (6), California (4), Colorado (1), Connecticut (3), Delaware (2), Florida (1), Georgia (4), Hawaii (2), Illinois (8), Indiana (3), Kansas (2), Kentucky (1), Louisiana (2), Maine (12), Maryland (9), Michigan (1), Minnesota (1), Mississippi (3), Montana (4), Nebraska (2), New Hampshire (3), New Jersey (2), New Mexico (1), New York (3), North Carolina (2), North Dakota (3), Ohio (1), Oregon, (7), Rhode Island (2), South Dakota (2), Tennessee (5), Texas (2), Utah (2), Vermont (2), Virginia (13), Washington (2), West Virginia (1), and Wyoming (2).

Topic Outline
The natural history of cirrhosis following an episode of variceal hemorrhage has been defined from clinical trials in which "control" subjects did not receive any specific treatment to prevent rebleeding. The cumulative data indicate that over 70 percent of patients experience recurrent variceal hemorrhage within one year of their index bleed [1,2]. The risk of rebleeding is greatest immediately after cessation of active bleeding and then declines, reaching close to baseline values by six weeks. Approximately 70 percent of all untreated patients die within the first year after their initial variceal bleed. The causes of death include recurrent variceal hemorrhage, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, and progressive ascites and infections.
These data underscore the importance of preventing recurrent hemorrhage, sustaining liver function, maintaining an ascites-free state, and avoiding infections to achieve prolonged survival. At this time, orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) is the only treatment that achieves all of these objectives and prolongs long-term survival with any degree of certainty. However, some patients are not suitable subjects for liver transplants and, even when OLT is being considered, patients often have to wait several months before an organ becomes available. During this time, they are at risk for recurrent variceal hemorrhage and therefore require treatment to prevent this complication. (See "Liver transplantation in adults: Patient selection and pretransplantation evaluation".)
The ideal treatment would be one that is universally effective, safe, freely available, easy to administer and inexpensive. Because such a treatment does not exist, the choice of a given modality of treatment over another involves consideration of its relative efficacy and safety, availability, and cost considerations. The major options are endoscopic sclerotherapy, endoscopic band ligation, pharmacologic therapy with beta blockers and oral nitrates, insertion of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and surgery.
This topic with will review the options for preventing recurrent variceal hemorrhage in patients with cirrhosis. The treatment of acute variceal hemorrhage is discussed elsewhere. (See "General principles of the management of variceal hemorrhage" and "Methods to achieve hemostasis in patients with acute variceal hemorrhage" and "Endoscopic variceal ligation".)
The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) issued guidelines in 2007 for the prevention of variceal recurrent bleeding [3]. The approaches recommended by the guidelines (nonselective beta blockers, endoscopic variceal ligation, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts, and liver transplantation), as well as other options for the prevention of recurrent variceal bleeding, are discussed in detail below.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Diadematidae - overview
The family Diadematidae has around 30 extant species, including some of the most common tropical sea urchins species (Diadema antillarum, Diadema setosum, Astropyga radiata...).
These are big regular sea urchins, with hollow and usually very long spines, some of them being venomous (but not dangerous for humains). Some are bright colored (especially red or blue), but others are dark, sometimes with ornamental patterns called iridophores (especially Astropyga and Diadema).
One of their most obvious characteristic is to have an "anal papilla" (or "anal cone") on the top of the test : it can be very obvious in some species (Echinothrix calamaris, Diadema setosum) or nearly hidden (Echinothrix diadema, Centrostephanus longispinus).
The most common genera found at diving depths are Diadema, Echinothrix, Astropyga and Centrostephanus ; other genera like Chaetodiadema are found only in deep waters.
Most of them inhabit tropical waters of the indo-pacific.
Among their skelettal characteristics, they have trigeminate ambulacra, with perforated tubercles, almost always crenulate.

Ferry overloaded, says PNG witness
Last Updated:
A survivor of a ferry disaster that killed at least 100 people in Papua New Guinea has told an inquiry the ship was overloaded.
George Turmi was the first witness at the commission of inquiry that is examining the sinking of the Rabaul Queen in February.
Authorities say the ferry was licensed to carry 310 passengers.
But the 20-year-old student estimates there were about 500 people on board as it left Kimbe for Lae.
Captain Peter Sharp, the managing director and major shareholder of Rabaul Shipping, the operator of the Rabaul Queen, has told the inquiry there were 350 people on board when it went down and, as far as he knew, that was the most it had ever carried.
Captain Sharp said it usually carried around 300 passengers during peak periods.
He said the ferry had traveled the same route for more than a decade and the crew was reasonably trained.
The inquiry is trying to determine the exact number of victims and their identities.
Rough seas
Estimates of the death toll from different state agencies range from 100 to more than 200.
George Turmi has told the inquiry it capsized after being hit by large waves in rough seas.
Mr Turmi said the crew did not give passengers any guidance during the emergency.

Seemingly traffic accidents, but Jiangbei police through survey the scene, the post-mortem examination found numerous doubts: the right front tire of the vehicle burst, serious damage to the right front lights, vehicle tire skid marks on the ground, but can not find the vehicles involved in accidents are collisi *** with other vehicles on the road the traces,sac lancel; Yumou feeling car tires in the direction of play, no gas, no flat tire signs of tire marks left by the pavement; wife and daughter death but Yumou calm, more than 10 minutes after the accident, Yu Mou In addition to self-help, that is, using a mobile phone alarm did not take any measures to rescue his wife and daughter; incident just four hours to present its case to the insurance company, Yu Mou, filing a claim (in July last year, Yu Mou gave his wife and daughter to buy $ 50 million accident insurance); surveillance video of the section of the incident, the day before the incident Yumou has appeared in, and he had told the police that this section of road unfamiliar. February 15, Yu Mou after finishing a funeral in Jiangxi return to Ningbo again to accept the police investigation. The face of police thrown above doubt, Yu Mou psychological defense collapsed, to admit use traffic accident the illusion, killed his wife and daughter Pianbao. In addition, their extramarital affairs wife found is also one of the reas *** laid hands on him. (Newspaper has to make a series of reports) Why is the killing of his wife and daughter suspects Yu Mou said The three reas *** Yumou mother, gray-haired, frail, before the trial did not start, has been blankly toward the court side door, Yumou from there brought before it. 9:30, Yumou time be brought to court. Yumou stature is very thin, wearing a blue shirt and a gray-green pants. Come to see his son, I mother mouth twitching,burberry soldes, and could not help but stand up,abercrombie, sit down again others discourage. The face of the prosecution of intentional homicide, two allegati *** of insurance fraud,louboutin, countenance was calm Yumou, said "basically no objection, but details differ. Commit evil acts, Yu Mou said three reas *** . "First, last year I out lover, later wife know, she told a lot of relatives, I very much want to face, very strong, she was such a Lane, I lose face."

Yu Mou said he did not want to murder his wife and daughter, and also did not want to cheat the insurance money just want to die with them. The prosecutor questioned Yumou: even to avenge his wife, why to bring her daughter Not want to Pianbao, why such a complex car Zhuihe way to die Since intend to once and for all, after the accident why immediately contacted the insurance company "Yumou Somewhat taken aback, replied: "I cheated on the wife said zhuangqiao Avenue in organized activities, kids to play, so to get the woman shouted to the child is an excuse ... I was pressure, how to die law, did not think too much. "thought too much, that first day how would go check out the location them to your wife, daughter, how can you 'did not think too much '" the face of a series of question Yumou incoherent up, prosecutor thrown a lot of problems with "too much pressure, brain blank", "I met for the first time such a thing, do not really know how to do" to answer. Yumou feel that they have voluntarily surrendered themselves before the Court should be given a lighter punishment, Yu Mou also think that they have surrendered to suspend criminal incident actively rescue his wife and daughter plot, should be given a lighter punishment. The Yumou return to Ningbo on February 15, he has volunteered with the Jiangbei police confessed crimes. In preparing the car into the river, he also produced through remorse, would have to fight the steering wheel to the right, after the hit and from the opposite direction, but it is already too late.

"He told me the car at home in the mountains, the car fell off and began to say nothing, and later said his wife gone, I comforted him. Later, he has told me that now he restore single, qualified to pursue I must take my happen, no matter ... then he any connection I mentioned, said her daughter also died ... "When the prosecutor read out the Yaomou during this testimony, Yumou look embarrassing. "The occurrence of such a big thing, I need a place to release the pressure." He explained dialogue. Issued by the families of the victims of three letters of understanding did not want to he was sentenced to the death penalty, "this is too sudden, like throwing a bomb."

Tue, 4 Sep 2012 09:16:21 EST Sydney, Australia – Leading Business Execution software company SuccessFactors is holding a business webinar to discuss workforce skills and strategic planning, taking place at 14.00 on Thursday 6th September.
The webinar, titled Understand your future skills requirements with Strategic Workforce Planning, will focus on a recent business research programme SuccessFactors conducted on understanding the impact of a skills shortage.
The results of the programme show that having the right people with the right skills within a business helps deliver a great performance; however, if the business doesn't have access to the people with the skills, then business performance levels will naturally deteriorate. Skilled workforces are aging. The huge surplus of workers created by the Baby Boomer generation is getting old and retiring, taking their skills and experience with them.
Rapid technological development is worsening the skills shortage. Computer sciences and engineering, in particular, are susceptible, with 36% of IT companies and 28% of energy companies expecting large increases in staff over the next three years. They are not alone – many industries face threats to their workforce capabilities.
Without a skilled workforce, vital tasks and business processes cannot be performed efficiently, leading to capacity bottlenecks, capability issues and reduced business performance. As the workforce ages and the talent shortage worsens, companies face severe threats to their competitiveness.
Many companies are already putting workforce planning and staff development plans into action. They know it's vital to start investing in talent management and employee development to equip themselves with the skilled workforce they need today and in the future.

What am I supposed to write today? I don't remember. I have this feeling like something big is coming and I'm supposed to be just sitting around waiting for it to happen. I don't even know what it's supposed to be. I need a job but something inside feels like I will find it when this "thing" happens or whatever. It's messing with my head. I feel like slamming my head on a countertop. Blah blah and more blah.
I feel like I have no companion. You know someone who puts you first on their list and you put them first on yours. I guess I mean like a best friend or something. I mean, right now, I feel like I'm just floating around. I've got friends yeah, but not the companionship I desire. I mean, I pretty much put my mom first. She's the one I go to. She's the one I count on. I don't feel like she feels the same about me though. I don't feel like anyone really needs me. I mean, they may want me around and that's cool. I don't want to get on anyone's nerves but I want to feel like... I don't even know. It's like I'm wishing for something that won't come to me. It's not like I'm wishing for popularity or to be worshipped. I'm not even wishing for true love. I don't need true love. I have plenty of love. It doesn't matter what kind of love it is. I'm just happy that I have love in my life. Anycrap: I'm probably just bitching about something I can't do anything about or something like that.
Right now I'm just going to find me something to do until what ever is going to happen happens...

AquilaThursday, August 5th, 2010
Many people heard about the region of Abruzzo for the first time about a year ago because of the earthquake that showed much of Aquila in ruins. However, much of the region hardly felt any movement, which was the case near us. We never noticed the earthquake and the area has no buildings in ruins or any damage.
Aquila is the capital city of Abruzzo and the Province of L'Aquila and is about 63 miles to the north east of Rome. It is a lively collage town with elegant piazzas, symphony orchestra, fine arts academy and some wonderful streets to explore.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Phocas
|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 21
|See also Phocas on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
PHOCAS, East Roman emperor (602-610), was a Cappadocian of humble origin. He was still but a centurion when chosen by the army of the Danube to lead it against Constantinople, A revolt within the city soon afterwards resulted in the abdication of the reigning emperor Maurice, and in the elevation of Phocas to the throne, which seems to have been accomplished by one of the circus factions against the wish of the troops. Phocas proved entirely incapable of governing the empire. He consented to pay an increased tribute to the Avars and allowed the Persians, who had declared war in 604 under Chosroes II., to overrun the Asiatic provinces and to penetrate to the Bosporus. When the African governor Heraclius declared against him, Phocas was deserted by the starving population of Constantinople, and deposed with scarcely a struggle (610). He died in the same year on the scaffold.
See J. B. Bury, The Later Roman Empire (London, 1889), ii. 197-206.
