The Iowa DNR Air Quality Bureau (DNR) invites the public to provide informal comments on a draft rulemaking proposal. The DNR is considering adopting federal standards for several different industries and operations, including utility boilers, industrial, commercial and institutional boilers, solid waste incinerators, process heaters, cement plants, and stationary engines.
This informal comment period is an opportunity for stakeholders to assist the DNR in developing the rule proposal. After considering public input, the DNR will determine whether to proceed with the rule making and present a proposal to the Environmental Protection Commission (EPC). The public may also provide comments on the proposal at the EPC meeting. If the EPC approves the proposal for public comment, the Notice of Intended Action will be published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin. The Notice's publication will initiate a formal public comment period of at least 30 days. The DNR will hold a public hearing during the public comment period.
The DNR has prepared a draft proposal to adopt recent federal revisions to air toxics standards (called National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants or "NESHAP") and new source performance standards (NSPS). The DNR proposes to adopt the standards by reference into state rules so that all compliance deadlines will be according to federal timelines. Concurrent with adopting the federal standards for utility boilers, the DNR is proposing to add a sunset date for the state's current mercury emissions monitoring requirements.
The draft rulemaking proposal includes rescission of previously adopted NESHAP and NSPS for mineral and material processing. Iowa has never had any affected sources for these standards, and it is highly unlikely that these industries would locate in Iowa.
Facilities are subject to the federal standards regardless of whether the standards are adopted into Iowa's rules. However, by adopting these standards, the DNR can provide compliance assistance and outreach to affected facilities as soon as possible.
How to Provide Input on the Draft Proposal
The draft proposal is available at Air Quality Stakeholder Involvement (scroll down to the Public Input section and click on "NESHAP and NSPS Adoption: Draft Rulemaking Proposal"). Or, click here: http://www.iowadnr.gov/InsideDNR/RegulatoryAir/StakeholderInvolvement.aspx.
Information available for review includes:
The DNR is requesting public input on all aspects of the draft proposal. In particular, the DNR requests consideration of the Questions for Stakeholders posed in the Proposal Summary.
Please provide written comments and suggestions to Christine Paulson, Iowa DNR Air Quality Bureau, by Friday, Dec. 6, 2013, as follows:
E-mail: email@example.com
Fax: (515) 725-9501
Mail or Hand-delivery: DNR Air Quality Bureau, 7900 Hickman Road, Suite 1, Windsor Heights, Iowa, 50324
The DNR plans to discuss the draft proposal, among other topics, at the upcoming Air Quality Contact Meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21, at 1 p.m. Stakeholders may participate in person at the DNR's Air Quality Bureau offices or by conference call. The public may ask questions or provide verbal or written comments at the meeting. More information on the meeting is available at http://www.iowadnr.gov/idnr/InsideDNR/BoardsCommissions/AirQualityClientContactMtg.aspx
For more information, please contact Christine Paulson at the e-mail address noted above or by phone at (515) 725-9510.

text: General Cautions: Avoid "Students are flooded with credit card offers," Miller says. "It's very easy to slip into damaging, high credit card debt." Attorney General Tom Miller is urging Iowa college students to avoid slipping into high credit card debt. "Credit card companies badly want the business of college students, so students are flooded with credit card offers," Miller said. "Unfortunately, more and more students are slipping into high credit card debt with very serious long-term consequences." Miller said studies indicate high debt is forcing some students to take on more paid work and reduce their academic load or even drop out of school. He noted that an administrator at Indiana University said, "We lose more students to credit card debt than to academic failure." High debt or a poor credit record also can result in students paying higher rates for car loans or home mortgages, and lead to psychological problems from stress to suicide. The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division issued a "Consumer Advisory" bulletin titled, "Credit Cards on Student Incomes: Proceed with Caution and Shop with Care!" "Whatever you do, don't be seduced into obtaining several credit cards and 'maxing-out' on them with a high debt load," Miller said. "And don't play the credit card shuffle - using advances on one card to pay down another." Miller said credit cards can serve a purpose - they are good for emergencies, and national credit cards can help build a good credit record. "But if you do get a credit card, determine what you can realistically afford to pay each month, and plan to pay off your bill completely each month." Before you choose a credit card, shop around carefully. "Some cards are highly visible on campus because they have marketing rights," Miller said, "but students still should shop for the card with the best terms for them." Customers should compare interest rates, stated as the APR or annual percentage rate of interest. Miller cautioned that some low "teaser" rates only apply for a few months as an introductory offer - then much higher rates kick in. He also encouraged students to avoid cards with high penalty rates - rates of 20% or even 30% if the card holder misses or makes a late payment. Miller said customers should look for hidden fees such as late-payment charges and over-the-limit fees. If a student does obtain a card, Miller said it is crucial to avoid the revolving-debt trap. "Don't think you can avoid trouble just by making the minimum payment each month," he said. He gave an example: Say that you make only minimum payments and you run up a $1000 balance on a card with a 13% APR (annual percentage rate of interest.) Even if you never use that card again, if you continue to make only minimum monthly payments you will still owe over $500 three and one-half years later -- and paying off the debt will take over six years. (It will be even worse if you are late on some payments and the card issuer raises your rate to 21% APR or higher.) "What's the bottom line?" Miller said. "Consider whether you should just say no at this time to getting a credit card and taking on debt -- especially if you already have substantial student loans to pay off," he said. "Don't sign up for a credit card just to get 'free' items such as t-shirts or tote-bags. If you do get a card, be extremely careful in selecting and managing your credit card account." - 30 - Attorney General Home | News Release Home |

Adobe Flash Player is a very popular Web browser plugin. It is available for multiple Web browsers and platforms, including Windows, Linux and MacOS. Flash Player enables Web browsers to display rich multimedia content, such as online videos, and is often a requirement for popular websites. For more information, see the vendor's site at the following link.
Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Systems Inc.'s Flash Player could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.
The vulnerability occurs when parsing a maliciously formatted sequence of ActionScript code inside an Adobe Flash file. The problem exists in a ActionScript method of a built-in class. A certain function accepts an array object as a first parameter and uses this array's length multiplied by three for a memory allocation without any overflow checks. Then it writes the array's content into the allocated memory, which corrupts memory and leads to an exploitable condition.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user viewing the Web page. To exploit this vulnerability, a targeted user must load a malicious Web page that an attackers creates. An attacker typically accomplishes this via social engineering or injecting content into compromised, trusted sites. After the user visits the malicious Web page, no further user interaction is needed.
The following Adobe products are vulnerable:

I Know Some Of You Saw It Coming
I am writing to let you that, after a trial separation of three weeks, My Walker1 (nee Assistive Walking Device) and I have officially decided go our separate ways.
While our fling together was brief, it was intense, the two of us rarely leaving each other's side. We were frequently found embracing one another in the presence of friends and strangers alike. We were so wrapped up in one another that our liaisons took place not only in the privacy of our bedroom and in every room in the house but also in the car (although typically rigid, My Walker could be sweetly accommodating, rearranging her configuration to slide onto the floor of the car rather than take up space on the seat), the bookstore, the doctor's office, the homes of others, and even public bathrooms.
Of course, the bathroom-specific peccadilloes associated with the entire family of assistive devices from motorized wheelchairs to canes have become so well known that many commercial enterprises and government buildings have surrendered to the inevitable, designating specially constructed restroom facilities for couples like My Walker and me to "do our business." I am not embarrassed to say that we took advantage of the extra space, hand grips, and other devices whenever they were available. Oh, sneer if you wish, but I saw the jealousy in the eyes of those so-called normal males milling about in the men's room waiting their turn to perform their bodily functions when My Walker and I bypassed the lines to make our way, together, into our private area.
Looking back, I should have known this was not going to become one of those and they lived happily ever after stories. Even our matchmaker, Pert & Perky PT, told me this was to be a temporary state of affairs, something to keep me going following my hip pinning. But I was bedazzled, as so many young innocents are, by the vague promises that my initial awkwardness with My Walker would gradually improve. And it's true that, again like so many before me, I saw My Walker as my ticket out of where I was to a better life somewhere else. Indeed, given that the surgeon made my discharge contingent on being able to perform routine daily functions with My Walker, our pairing was the medical equivalent of an arranged wedding.
Still, we had our moments. We were such a striking couple that strangers would open doors for us and traffic would come to a halt as we slowly made our way across the street. Young people would gawk at us unabashedly.
And My Walker had some wonderful traits. She never, for example, begrudged others who interrupted our time alone, sometimes treating her like a utensil rather than my helpmate. In fact, she didn't voice an objection even when I rented a wheelchair, putting me in the position of paying another assistive device to take care of my needs that required services My Walker couldn't – or wouldn't – provide.
Despite our best efforts, however, mutual resentments set in. I would complain about being tied down and prevented from enjoying the freedoms and spontaneity I deserved. Stepping out with My Walker, after all, was hardly life in the fast lane. For her part, My Walker, with some justification, felt unappreciated and, ultimately, unloved after hearing me repeatedly announce that "I'll be glad when I can get rid of this damn thing."
In retrospect, we stayed together as long as we did only for the good of our medical team who naturally felt we belonged together.
And now, there are only the memories …

Courtesy Environmental Protection AgencyA bee icon on neonicotinoid insecticide labels will warn users of additional rules they must follow to protect bees.The Environmental Protection Agency will require new labels and accompanying restrictions on neonicotinoid insecticides that prohibit their use if bees are present.
The ruling affects several insecticides within the class, including imidacloprid, dinotefuran, clothianidin and thiamethoxam, according to a news release.
Imidacloprid is marketed as Admire Pro by Bayer CropScience as well under several other labels as off-patent products.
Dinotefuran is marketed as Venom and chlothianidin is marketed as Belay, both by Valent U.S.A.
Thiamethoxam is marketed as Platinum and Actara, among other brand names, by Syngenta Crop Protection.
The new labels will have a bee advisory box and icon with information about how bees may be exposed to the products and spray drift precautions.
They also will prohibit application of the insecticides until all petals have fallen from flowers.
In May, the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a scientific report on honeybee health showing that several stressors were to blame for population declines. They include loss of habitat, parasites and disease, genetics, poor nutrition and pesticide exposure.

Why Christy Clark wants to be seen as a saviour of education
These days, Premier Christy Clark won't shut up about education.
She's just raised the prospect of a 10-year deal with teachers, linking future wage increases to raises for civil servants.
Earlier this week, the premier announced up to $113 million in funding for a new Emily Carr University of Art + Design campus on False Creek Flats.
And last month, she visited Kwantlen Polytechnic University to speak about $12 million in B.C. government funding for the Chip and Shannon Wilson School of Design.
It's reminiscent of the lead-up to the 2001 election when a former B.C. Liberal leader, Gordon Campbell, also positioned himself as an education keener.
Back then, Campbell appeared in TV ads in front of school yards. He promised parents that education would be declared an essential service under the Labour Relations Code.
After that campaign, Campbell and his education minister—none other than Christy Clark—ripped up contracts with teachers. This was eventually ruled unconstitutional in court.
As a result of cancellation of collective agreements, the B.C. Liberal government siphoned $3.36 billion out of the school system over the next decade, according to the B.C. Teachers' Federation.
The government's own estimate was that $275 million would be saved each year by this move.
In light of this, it takes a lot of chutzpah for Clark to present herself as the education premier.
What she's put into the system recently is chump change compared to what she took out in the B.C. Liberal government's first term of office.
Why would Clark make a big deal out of education?
It's for the same reason that Campbell portrayed himself as an education saviour in 2001.
This issue is vitally important to many voters without strong attachments to either the NDP or the B.C. Liberals.
Elections in B.C. can be determined by three broad groups of voters: the so-called suburban soccer moms, new Canadians, and the young.
They all have a tendency to be less attached to political parties than other groups, plus they tend to make up their minds closer to voting day.
It's been widely reported that Clark has had a wretched time attracting female voters to the B.C. Liberal camp. Education resonates with many of them.
Education is also extremely important to new Canadians. A large number of them come from countries where schooling is held in extremely high regard.
Young voters are also more focused on education. NDP Leader Adrian Dix has reached out to them by promising to restore postsecondary student grants.
According to a recent Angus Reid Public Opinion poll, the largest number of respondents (34 percent) concluded that Dix is the leader "best suited" to deal with education.
Clark lagged far behind at 19 percent. But another 32 percent were "not sure". This explains the premier's recent attempt to present herself as a messiah on this issue.
Just don't assume that the premier won't do something radical after the election if she manages a come-from-behind victory in May.
She's already torn up contracts, so there's no telling what she might have up her sleeve in the future to offset the impact of B.C. Liberal government tax cuts.
That's the great question. Will the electorate go back to their Morpheus like slumber, or has the sleeping giant finally been awakened and not to be fooled again to the vast looting of everything not nailed down by foreign and domestic banksters and corporations. In it's wake, the BC Fiberals have left vast debts and child poverty, in a cesspool of incompetence and corruption.
Perhaps that depends on the NDP too. Will they campaign like a junior softball team on a little league tour like Carol James? Or will they attack, expose and hammer the BC Liberals on their dismal economic and political record like a pack of junkyard pit bulls?
Glad you read the article and can now spread the word. By the time Cristy et al finished with our class size and composition language, the contract looked like swiss cheese. The public was supposed to be happy that these were issues safely in the hands of the governing party. The education round table was a sham-window dressing created to look as if all stake-holders could play nice and make wise decisions. Christy so loved and respected teachers, she did that to us-and the kids in our care. The system has not recocovered and she has the gall to present herself as savior-Ms Families First! So much out there to remind voters of in the short lead-up to the election. It's been a lousy week for our invisible premier as 4 big stories have blown up in her face.
Gordo & Christy raped the funding back when my kids were in primary school. Can you spell Olympics. Now, can you spell Bollywood. At least I can collect, dry and burn for warmth that, that falls from the butt of a bull. However, the B.C.T.F. have'nt earned my love much either.
When I've passed through the parking lot Of my local H.S and viewed a nice collection of (I've made it automobiles) ie lexus, beemer, ect,it kind of rubs me. Now, that might sound like grapes, but the point is, either you don't need the raise cause you're doing alright, or like the gov't, you could use a taxpayer instructed course in economics. Both sides need to feel that old time hickory pointer.

Several newspapers have reported that all pregnant women will "get the right to a caesarean", regardless of whether there is a medical reason for having one. Currently, around one in four UK babies is delivered by caesarean.
The reports are based on new draft guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the national body that evaluates which treatments should be available for specific conditions. The proposed guidelines are the first major update from NICE on caesarean sections since 2004, and take into account the latest research on the procedure.
What do the guidelines recommend?
Although newspapers focused on caesareans potentially being available to a wider range of women, the draft guidelines cover all aspects of caesarean sections, including planning, timing, the procedure itself and care after a caesarean. The guidelines include a number of new and updated recommendations about all these areas, but the ones relating to who should be offered a caesarean state that:
- Pregnant women should be given evidence-based information about caesarean sections, including information about the reasons why a caesarean section might be used, what the procedure involves, associated risks and benefits, and implications for future pregnancies and birth.
- The decision about whether to carry out a caesarean section should take into account the woman's circumstances, concerns and priorities.
Requested caesareans
In addition, the draft guidelines set out specific processes to follow if a woman asks for a caesarean:
- If a woman requests a caesarean section, the reasons for this should be explored, discussed and recorded. If there are no medical reasons why the woman needs to have a caesarean, the risks and benefits of a caesarean compared to a vaginal birth should be discussed with her.
- When a woman requests a caesarean section because of a fear of childbirth, she should be offered the chance to see a healthcare professional who has expertise in providing perinatal (around the time of birth) mental health support to help her address her fears in a supportive manner. If after receiving this support the woman still does not consider a vaginal birth to be an acceptable option, she should be offered a planned caesarean section.
- An obstetrician can decline a women's request for a caesarean. In this case, they should refer the woman to another NHS obstetrician in the same unit who will carry out the caesarean section.
Cases when a caesarean is recommended
The guidelines also recommend offering a planned caesarean to pregnant women under specific medical circumstances. Caesareans should be offered when a woman has:
- a single baby who is in "breech position" at term (the time when it is due to be born). A breech position is when a baby has its bottom pointing downwards rather than its head, or less commonly one or both legs extending downwards and the feet presenting first. A caesarean should be offered if it has not been possible to turn the baby by manipulating it through the mother's abdomen (a procedure known as external cephalic version, which is normally considered in suitable cases at around 36 weeks of pregnancy)
- a twin pregnancy where the first twin is not positioned head down
- a placenta that partly or completely covers the cervix (called minor or major placenta praevia)
- HIV that is not being treated with anti-HIV (retroviral) therapy
- HIV and 400 or more copies of the HIV virus per ml of blood (regardless of any anti-HIV treatment being received)
- both HIV and the hepatitis C virus
- a primary genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection that occurred in the third trimester of pregnancy (over 28 weeks)
Does NICE recommend offering caesareans for all?
No. The draft guidelines do not recommend that every woman should be routinely offered a caesarean. Rather, they state the medical circumstances where one is recommended and where one is not, and discuss the options that are available when a woman has a preference for a caesarean over a vaginal birth.
There are also several scenarios in which the guidelines say that women should not be routinely offered caesarean sections. These include women with:
- a twin pregnancy that is uncomplicated at full term, where the first twin is presenting head downwards
- a preterm birth
- a baby that is small for its gestational age (how old the baby is based on when it was conceived)
- HIV that is being treated with standard HIV treatment (anti-retroviral treatment called HAART therapy) and less than 400 copies of the HIV virus per ml of blood
- HIV that is being treated with any anti-retroviral treatment (HAART or otherwise) and less than 50 copies of the HIV virus per ml of blood
- hepatitis B or C viruses
- a recurrent episode of genital herpes at full term
- a body mass index of over 50 and no other risk factors that suggest a caesarean section would be appropriate
Why have the guidelines changed?
NICE's existing caesarean guidance was issued in 2004. These new draft guidelines have take into account the evidence from newer research published since then. NICE's system for updating its guidance is based on an in-depth, step-by-step process, involving:
- reviewing the questions answered by the existing guidance and adding any important new questions that need to be addressed
- carrying out systematic searches to identify all relevant high-quality research that addresses these questions
- assessing the quality of these studies and extracting their findings
- carrying out health-centred economic analyses where necessary
- weighing up what this analysed evidence suggests, and assessing whether it suggests that existing recommendations need to change
- adapting the recommendations in the guidelines as necessary, based on the updated evidence
Draft guidelines will then be published on the NICE website to allow interested parties to review the recommendations and suggest changes.
Are these guidelines official yet?
No. These guidelines are still undergoing pre-publication checks and may be subject to further changes before they are made official. However, any further changes are likely to be small as the guidelines have already been adapted to incorporate changes suggested in the commenting phase, which occurred in May and June 2011. It is expected that the final, official guidelines will be published in November.

I'm delighted to welcome you to my corner of the TreePeople universe and site. It's been thirty-eight years since I started this "project" we now call TreePeople. I'm boggled how it's grown up, and amazed and grateful for the continued outpouring of support and partnership from individuals, businesses, agencies and non-profits that has fueled our achievements.
TreePeople started by planting smog-resistant seedlings in local forests. We wanted to help our forests recover from air pollution from the city and from devastating fires. But after several years of planting, we realized our work was essentially putting band-aids on damage that started in the city. To really heal the forests, we needed people in the city to care more deeply. To do that, we engaged them in planting trees in their neighborhoods.
After decades of this work, people know us as tree planters. So they often are surprised and sometimes disturbed to learn that TreePeople has gone very deeply into water and infrastructure issues. Sometimes they even say we have the wrong name! I respectfully disagree.
But it's a fair question. Why have we made this leap into infrastructure?
People often ask me: Where do you get your energy and optimism?
At the Autry National Center for the American West, a current exhibit features photographs from a just-published book, Dreamers in Dream City, by Harry Brant Chandler. I am one of the featured "dreamers" of Los Angeles in the book and exhibit, included for my work as an activist in transforming our city.
It's a great honor, but much more importantly, it's a reminder that L.A is a city is built on dreams. But not just ones from the past. We can and are remaking this city today.
It's easy to think that we're all going to hell in a hand-basket, but I believe it is through dreaming -- conscious and shared dreaming -- that we can find our way forward.

Dear San Diego Padres,
Look. I know we've had our differences. I know I hated you with something of a burning passion last year- and, okay, much of this year- and I may have made one too many cracks about Jon Daniels vs. Jed Hoyer, but deep down we're friends, right? I mean, I hope so. Because I have a teeny-tiny favor to ask of you.
You are going to be inhabiting Chase Field, the home of the much-feared Diamondbacks this evening and I, well, need you to beat them.
Pretty simple, really. Just get a few hits, throw some nice pitches and come out with the W.
The reason I'm proposing this is that it's really good for both of us. My Giants get a chance to end today only 2 games back and you get a chance to be only, eh, 11 games back! Win-win, I know. You don't need to tell me how smart I am.
Hey, if you want to just sweep 'em, you could do that too! Because, just between you and me, the Giants totally rained on my parade yesterday. I was sniffing my fingers-which-smelled-like-lemons-due-to-my-making-of-lemon-bars and totally, 100% ready for a win and then they went and… lost. Sometimes my optimism is hard to keep going. Which is, of course, why I could use a little help from you.
Thankfully, the lemon bars were perfectly delicious. So my day was not entirely ruined.
So do we have a deal, Pads? What if I throw in a new name for your stadium? (Because even you must admit that Petco Park is rather lame.) I'm thinking something along the lines of Prada Park or Stadium of Marc Jacobs. You know.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Cole Hamels cannot walk the runway. In case there was ever a question about that.

There's not a better time to be a men's basketball season ticket holder. Three Sweet 16 appearances, two Pac-12 championships and two appearances in the Elite 8 have all occurred in the first four seasons of the Sean Miller era. This is just the beginning.
With familiar faces such as Brandon Ashley, Rhonde Hollis-Jefferson, T.J. McConnell and Kaleb Tarczewski coming back, plus the addition of yet another Top 5 recruiting class, the Arizona Wildcats are poised for another special season. The fans have responded. Last year, 14 of 18 home games were sellouts. The demand is even higher for 2014-15. Renew your season tickets by the Sept. 8 deadline to avoid losing your seats.
Thank you for your continued support. We can't wait to see you in the newly-renovated McKale Center!
Renewals for 2014-15 men's basketball season tickets are now available. The deadline to renew is Monday, Sept. 8 by 5 p.m. MST. Renew by the deadline to ensure you keep your seat location(s) for this highly anticipated men's basketball season.
Arizona Athletics has gone to paperless invoices and prefers renewals be completed online HERE, but there are two other ways to renew for 2014-15:
- Call (520) 621-CATS (2287) during normal business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST, Monday – Friday).
- Visit the McKale Ticket Office on the south side of the arena during normal business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST, Monday – Friday).
NOTE: The McKale Ticket Office will be closed on Monday, Sept. 1 for Labor Day, but online renewals are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Once again Arizona Athletics is offering a payment plan. Split your men's basketball season ticket payment into two equal installments with a convenient payment plan. The first payment is made the day your renewal is received and the second payment will be Sept. 8. You must use a valid credit card with an expiration date of Sept. 8, 2014 or later. There are no refunds or exchanges after a payment plan authorization form has been received. Seat locations will be released Sept. 9 if the credit card used becomes invalid by Sept. 9. The payment plan option is available until 5 p.m. MST on Aug. 22.
Download the Payment Plan Authorization form [PDF]
The McKale Center is undergoing a major renovation, which won't be fully completed until the beginning of the men's basketball regular season. The fire marshal has limited capacity for the McDonald's Red/Blue game and the Nov. 9 exhibition game vs. Cal Poly Pomona to 10,000 seats. Unlike in year's past, this year's exhibition game is not part of the 2014-15 season ticket package.
Season ticket holders have the exclusive opportunity to purchase reserved tickets to the exhibition game for $25 per ticket during the renewal period (limit of 10 tickets per account). Orders must be received by the renewal deadline to reserve tickets to the exhibition game before the general public. Seat locations are reserved based on renewal time (first-come, first-serve). After the renewal deadline, season ticket holders will no longer be able to purchase exhibition game tickets until we go on sale to the general public on Saturday, Oct. 11.
Exhibition game ticket orders can be added to your season ticket renewal payment. Please contact the McKale Ticket Office to make a special seat location request (aisle, ADA, etc.).
We apologize for the inconvenience. Our goal is to have a safe environment without causing code infractions that may impact future games.

1. A mountain opens downward toward a pool of molten rock, which is called magma. This all happens below the surface of the earth. So a volcano is essentially hole in the Earth from which molten rock and gas erupt.
2. The name "volcano" has its origin from the name of Vulcan, a god of fire in Roman mythology.
3. As pressure in the molten rock builds up it needs to escape somewhere. So it forces its way up through fissures, which are narrow cracks in the earths crust. Once the magma erupts through the earth's surface it's called lava.
4. Magma is liquid rock inside a volcano. Fresh lava ranges from 1,300° to 2,200° F (700° to 1,200° C) in temperature and glows red hot to white hot as it flows.
5. There are around 1,510 active volcanoes in the world. We currently know of 80 or more which are under the oceans. At any given time, there is an average of about 20 volcanoes that are erupting.
6. The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move. When two plates collide, one section slides on top of the other, the one beneath is pushed down. Magma is squeezed
7. Volcanoes are like giant safety valves that release the pressure that builds up inside the Earth.
8. Over half of the world's volcanoes arise in a belt around the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire.
9. The largest volcano (and mountain) in our Solar System is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars. The volcano is 17 miles (27 km) tall and over 320 miles (520 km) across.
10. Mauna Loa is one of the five volcanoes that form the island of Hawaii. It is 60 miles long and 30 miles wide, it makes up half of the entire island. Mauna Loa, and Kilauea are the only active volcanoes. Mount St. Helens, in the state of Washington, is one of more than 65 active or potentially active volcanoes in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Only Indonesia and Japan have more

Well, almost.
The only fat in these vegan brownies comes from 2 tbsp of flaxmeal that works as an egg substitute in this recipe and from some wonderfully nutritious walnuts. And since that is all healthy fat rich in Omega-3 fatty acids as well as fiber and protein, who could possibly complain?
The brownies themselves are chewy, delicious, luscious. And what makes them extra-guilt-free is the fact that you have the option of making them with whole-wheat pastry flour.
I used cocoa powder in this recipe but if you want an additional chocolate punch, you could add 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips to the recipe. Just stir it in along with the walnuts.
Gotta rush off now, but enjoy these brownies, everyone!
Fat-Free Brownies
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp instant coffee (optional, but coffee really enhances the chocolate flavor)
Sift all the ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl mix together:
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp water
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Whisk together until well mixed. Add:
2 tbsp flax meal plus 6 tbsp water, whisked together
Add the flour-cocoa mixture to this in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition using a ladle or spatula.
Stir in 1/2 cup chopped, lightly toasted walnuts
The batter will be really thick.
Prepare an 8 X 8-inch baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil. Leave an overhang on each side of the pan so you can easily lift the brownies out after they are baked. Spray some non-stick cooking spray on the foil.
Pour the batter in and, using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread evenly in the pan.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool thoroughly. Lift out the brownies using the foil overhang as handles, and cut into squares. Dust with some powdered confectioners' sugar for a pretty finish.

Dense fog was reported in Chicago and surrounding towns Thursday morning, a day after severe weather passing through the area caused major delays and hundreds of flight cancelations at O'Hare and Midway international airports.
The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for the "patchy dense fog," which is expected to last until at least 8:30 a.m. in parts of Chicago, Waukegan, and northwest Indiana cities Gary and Valparaiso.
Visibility should improve inland of the lake by mid-morning, but the fog may hang around the shoreline until the afternoon, the statement said. Drivers should be mindful and be prepared for changing visibility, the statement said.
At least 580 flights were canceled at O'Hare Wednesday night, with most other flights being delayed 90 minutes or more, according to the city's Department of Aviation. No flights were canceled at Midway, but delays averaging three hours were being reported, the department said.
Delay information was not yet available for Thursday at 6:40 a.m.
There is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday before 2 p.m. in Chicago with a high near 72 degrees, the weather service said. Thundestorms are more likely Friday paired with a high temperature of 77 degrees.

Warm growing weather has brought on a surge of broccoli and cauliflower volumes and a corresponding slump in markets, but shippers say that could change quickly with cooler weather and holiday demand.
Broccoli and cauliflower crops were running a week to two weeks ahead of schedule in early December because of abnormally warm growing weather, said Steve Church, chief executive officer of Church Bros. LLC, Salinas, Calif.
"Coming into (Thanksgiving), we had good demand and normal supplies of broccoli," Church said. "Now we have more than normal supplies."
Cauliflower supplies, meanwhile, were lower than usual at the end of November but were picking back up in early December, Church said.
So much so, that by the weeks of Dec. 10 and Dec. 17, Church's cauliflower supplies will likely be 175% of normal, said Jeff Crook, a salesman for the company.
"It's been Chamber of Commerce growing weather," he said.
Movement was sluggish on both broccoli and cauliflower the week of Dec. 3 because of the unexpectedly heavy volumes, said John Chobanian, broccoli commodity manager for Castroville, Calif.-based Ocean Mist Farms.
"The market's very depressed right now," he said.
But that could change as early as the week of Dec. 10, as holiday demand kicks in, Chobanian said.
"We expect it to change with the Christmas pull."
On Dec. 4, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $6-6.50 for cartons of bunched 14s broccoli from California, down from $10 last year at the same time.
Cartons of film-wrapped white 12s cauliflower were $12.50-13.50, down from $13-$14.55 last year.
Volumes will likely to return to more normal levels about the week of Dec. 17, Chobanian said.
Weaker demand, combined with the higher volumes, were combining to depress markets in early December, said Jacob Abramson, broccoli, lettuce and leaf product manager for Salinas-based Markon Cooperative.
But that could change very quickly, he said. Cooler temperatures were forecast for the desert early the week of Dec. 10, and if there's a hard cold snap, combined with Christmas demand, markets should strengthen quickly.
"It could be a real tight market," he said.
A cold snap could also lead to a "pretty big" supply gap in the coming weeks, Abramson said.
With broccoli and cauliflower volumes so high in early December, Crook agreed that it was likely to be followed by gap — possibly in early January, though Mother Nature will have the final say on that, Church said.

"Actually it's livening up. and beautiful, besides."
"Great food too."
"Hmm. Well, it's not exactly Saigon."
I've had this conversation more than once with people in Saigon. They'll tell you Hanoi, the capital,is too small (actual population: 1.2 million). Too old-fashioned. And, in winter, rather chilly, to boot.
Hanoians, for their part, say Saigon's too hot.
"Too cold!" "Too hot!"
"Too small!" "Too big!"
"Too old!" "Too new!"
Mercy. The historic rivalry between Hanoi and Saigon (which only northerners insist on calling Ho Chi Minh City) has even taken hold among expatriates living in Vietnam. Many in Hanoi describe Saigon as a sea of sharks, both local and foreign, hell-bent on money and sex. Saigon's expats tend to see Hanoi as a quiet town where, as one friend put it, "you can't even get a pizza after ten."
But even long-term Saigoners relish an escape up north--to lower the blood pressure and remember the Vietnam they knew back when. Hanoi, afterall, is where Saigon was six years ago, just after the gold rush began. And yet there's a buzz on the streets now, a sense that the future's around the corner.
In some respects it's already here: in the billboards showing artists' renderings of sky-blue office towers, soon to rise on empty lots; in the Land Cruisers rolling down streets that until recently had no traffic lights; in family-run enterprises like Café Internet (the fact that there's not yet a single terminal at the place doesn't bother anyone).
Still, tree-shaded boulevards lead past colonial villas and Belle Époque government buildings; tile-roofed shacks and pagodas fill the old neighborhoods. And Hanoi's lakes lend a tranquillity to the newly charged city, especially on cool mornings when a mist hangs over everything. Take a stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake at dawn and it could be 1898: old men in woven sandals practice tai chi on the banks; uniformed schoolboys bide time before class with a badminton game.
It was here at Hoan Kiem Lake one morning that I saw an American woman, mid-thirties, giving a tour to a group of Vietnamese teenagers. In fluid Vietnamese she pointed out landmarks: the Tortoise Pagoda on its tiny island, Ngoc Son Temple, with its pretty red footbridge. The kids nodded politely and took notes.
By the time my eyes adjusted they were gone, back on the tour bus. It was the strangest thing I'd noticed yet. But only the first of many strange things.
The Old Quarter is Hanoi's most cherished neighborhood--a mad collective of 36 streets and numerous alleys, each historically associated with a guild of artisans. Hang means "merchandise," and there's Hang Bac (Silver) Street, where the jewelers still work; there's Hang Gai(Silk) Street, for the tailors; there's Hang Thiec, meaning "tin goods," where you find, well, tin goods.
It's a thrill to walk (and dodge and leap and pivot) through these crowded corridors, inhaling the aroma of grilled meats, the smoke trails of joss sticks, the scent of cut flowers used for elaborate funeral shields, the remnants scattered by the curb. Some three- and four-story buildings are only six feet wide, their façades convex, as if squished by their neighbors. These are the famous "tube" houses, built when residents were taxed according to frontage. Some are dumps, but many are quite elegant, with wrought-iron flourishes that call New Orleans to mind. Shoppers caught up in the street life often don't notice the upper stories, where old men sit on balconies amid clotheslines and potted kumquat trees, and a level of calm prevails.

National Editor Tom Karst Salad bars - good. Industry effort wanted. More study needed.
Those nine words sum up the March 8 edition of the Perishable Pundit, which devoted 13,317 words to the topic of salad bars. Good perspectives and interviews, of course. Remarkable loquaciousness, especially considering that I have it on good authority that the Pundit types hunt and peck style.
By the way, this 2005 research drawn from Southern California schools said this about the prospects of salad bars as a path to increase fruit and vegetable consumption at schools:
"Environmental interventions combined with educational approaches may be needed to effectively promote children's fruit and vegetable consumption at school. This study suggests that merely providing a self-service salad bar is not a sufficient intervention to improve elementary school children's fruit and vegetable intake. However, salad bars with more variety were associated with higher intakes. If confirmed in further studies, salad bars with a high variety of fruits and vegetables may become a recommended strategy for meeting national fruit and vegetable intake goal."
With targets for industry-donated salad bars set ever higher and with the help of many industry leaders pulling the same direction, the once-envisioned "recommended strategy" is becoming a reality.
I was talking to with a couple of Northwest leaders the other day and our conversation turned to the apple economy. The price strength of Washington apples is something to marvel at, considering the state's fresh crop this year is busting out at near 130 million cartons, up an absurd 21 million cartons compared with the non-too-shabby 109 million carton crop of last season.
Because of the shorter crops in the Midwest and East, apple buyers have supported the ample crop in the Northwest with higher prices. Through March 9, the average price for fresh apples in Washington were $25.90 per carton, up from about $22.49 per carton a year ago.
Even with orchards devoid of their normal bounty in Michigan and New York, the Vienna, Va.-based U.S. Apple Association reported that March 1 U.S. fresh apple holdings of 63.3 million cartons were up 13% from a year ago.
U.S. Apple reported that a whopping 61 million cartons of that total were found in Washington state. For those of you in Rio Linda, that's an astounding 96% of the U.S. total apple holdings.

MOVE OVER David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Jay Leno. The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir has a new talk show.
The singer-guitarist is settling in as the Wednesday night host of "Weir Here," a brand new talk-variety webcast from his TRI Studios in San Rafael.
It begins at 5:30 p.m. (8:30 EST), give or take a half hour or so, online at www.tristudios.com and goes on for an hour and a half or two hours or however long it goes on. "Weir Here," the title inspired by the star's voicemail message, boasts guests that those other guys would have on their programs in a New York minute.
One recent evening, Weir jammed with his Mill Valley neighbor, Sammy Hagar, former Talking Head Jerry Harrison and Willie's kid, Lukas Nelson.
Then they put down their instruments and participated in a panel discussion on patronage versus sponsorship, with representatives from Red Bull, Dolby, Microsoft, Pandora and BMI.
Last Wednesday's show featured Weir with the up-and coming-singer-songwriter Jonathan Wilson and the Juilliard-trained violinist Jason Crosby, a sensational newcomer on the Marin music scene. It was a promo for an upcoming tour by Weir and Wilson.
The show, which began as an online attempt to lift the spirits of East Coast Deadheads slammed by Hurricane Sandy, is streamed live on the Internet, where it is watched by an average weekly audience of about 40,000, according to TRI's CEO Chris McCutcheon, who produces the show.
"It's free Wednesday night entertainment," he says. "Bob has always wanted to have his own show, and now he has it. Just for fun, Phil (Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh) turned on his live stream at Terrapin Crossroads for a half hour during rehearsal last week. Now we're streaming out of Sweetwater. It's all free. It's a good time to be a Deadhead."
"Weir Here" follows a loose format of music and conversation. Between musical sets in the TRI's uber-high-tech Constellation system studio, Weir and Jerry Garcia's legendary roadie, Steve Parish, plop down on a funky leather coach and take questions from viewers that they read off a large video monitor of Twitter and Facebook feeds.
Each week features a different topic. A recent week was "cities," cities where band members were arrested, where fans broke down the fences, other notable events. Last week viewers were asked to send in questions about the Grateful Dead's 1978 trip to Egypt and the three "Rocking the Cradle" concerts they played in the shadow of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid, the last during a full lunar eclipse.
"This is a deep, deep subject," Parish said. "We have a lot of questions about camels."
The first question was whether the Dead took their own sound system to Egypt.
"We couldn't take our system, but we still brought over 70 tons of our own equipment," Parish answered.
"Seventy tons?" Weir said, incredulous.
"When we watched the Egyptians unloading our gear, they flopped our equipment up and down the ramp end over end," Parish continued. "We had to show them there were wheels on our cases. It reminded us of how they built the pyramids."
Weir went on to tell a story about how he and Garcia, walking home in the dark from a dinner of barely cooked goat with local dignitaries, warded off a pack of hungry jackals by throwing rocks at them.
"I have a pretty good arm," Weir allowed. "Always have."
The Grateful Dead were never a band that incorporated a lot of showbiz glitz into their concerts, a tradition that Weir continues with his webcast. For last week's show, he wore a gray T-shirt and khaki pants, neutral colors that make him look like a ghost on camera.
"You're not wearing that on TV, are you?" McCutcheon asked.
Weir answered by kicking off his Birkenstock sandals and doing the show barefoot.
A fine example of shabby hippie chic, the "Weir Here" set includes a coffee table covered with an Indian bedspread, Oriental carpets, a silver Grateful Dead road case and a stuffed cat with a ball and chain around its paw.
Just as he was about to go on, Weir excused himself and trundled off to the restroom.
"This is going to be a long show," he said as he disappeared down the hall.
"This is what turns a producer's hair gray," McCutcheon muttered under his breath, smiling at the wonderful absurdity of it all.
When Weir is on the road, the show will bring in guest hosts, just like the network stars do. His songwriting partner, John Perry Barlow, does an occasional segment called "What's Buggin' Barlow," a kind of Lewis Black rant.
Already, name musicians are calling to see it they can get on for guest appearances, McCutcheon noted.
"We have some comedian friends, and eventually we'll get into doing comedy sketches," he said.
They aren't keen on getting sponsors who might insist on more traditional professionalism, which would be antithetical to everything the Grateful Dead have always stood for.
"We want to keep it as loose as possible," McCutcheon said. "There's no holds barred in telling every 'remember when' story that there ever was. We've got a lot of things planned. This show is here to stay."

I know there are a lot of posts all over the SW:TCG forums about opinions on a cooperative Star Wars LCG vs. a player vs. player Star Wars LCG. My goal in creating this thread is NOT to discuss the pros on cons but simply to get a tally of how many people would prefer a cooperative/solo game and how many people would prefer a PvP game. You should only post on this thread ONCE. If you wish to discuss your decision, please use threads such as "Cooperative► Disappointed." Because the forum software will likely prohibit a single-word response, please use a complete sentence as illustrated below.
I would prefer a cooperative/solo Star Wars LCG.
EDIT: Thanks, Spirit, for keeping the tally. I''m going to try to keep the tally updated on the front of this thread as well.
Player vs. Player: 36
Cooperative: 35
(As of 19 April 2012)
