Prospect Harbor Things to Do
As we headed to the Schoodic Peninsula to drive throught that part of Acadia National Park, we spotted a lighthouse across the harbor. My reading indicated that it is on private property and can only be viewed from a distance. Checking the website, there are some select times when it can be visited.

Arizona Diamondbacks
SI.com's Tom Verducci: D-backs' starting rotation could keep them in NL West hunt
The Arizona Diamondbacks may not be favored by many analysts to win their division, but SI.com MLB senior writer Tom Verducci points to one area of their roster that could quiet all doubters.
Verducci told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Friday that the D-backs' starting rotation could keep them in the National League West hunt.
"I like the fact that they are going to fight you, but the big picture to me is their pitching," Verducci said. "I think their starting pitching is a little bit underrated. I like the idea that there's really no age there whatsoever, and they also have a pretty good inventory. When the inevitable injury pops up and they have to drop down to starter No. 6 or 7, they're still in pretty good shape. That's what I like about the Diamondbacks more than anything."
The D-backs' starting rotation has looked strong in the spring, and Verducci believes one free agent acquisition in particular could prove to be a major upgrade for the staff.
"Brandon McCarthy may be the key for me because I have always liked him, but I think he's really due for a breakout season," Verducci said. "Not a back-end of the rotation guy but a front-end of the rotation guy. If that happens kind of like what happened with Kennedy and Hudson a couple of years ago, then yeah, I definitely think they can contend."
McCarthy, who signed with the D-backs back in December, looks to improve upon his 8-6 record last season with the Oakland Athletics. McCarthy's 2012 campaign was cut short after he was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of the Angels' Erick Aybar on September 5, but he's shown no ill effects this spring and is slated to pitch Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Overall, Verducci said the D-backs have an under-the-radar shot of finding themselves atop the division come October.
"I actually think they're a little bit of a sleeper team," said Verducci. "They're not getting a lot of attention other than what they gave up, but I think they can contend in the West."

Friday, March 18, 2011 More items for Health & Safety
A Detroit-area tank lining contractor will not be cited in the explosion of a 27,000-gallon tank during lining removal because authorities are unable to determine what caused the blast.
Duratech Systems LLC
Duratech Systems provides shop and field tanklining, equipment painting and other services.
The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration has concluded its investigation into the Jan. 11 explosion at Duratech Systems LLC without finding a cause of the accident.
Two workers were removing a rubber liner from the storage tank—34 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter—when they heard a whistling noise from the unit and fled the scene. The tank exploded moments later.
Thus, MI OSHA issued no citations but recommended that Duratech "develop and implement engineering controls, training and written procedures for employees to prevent over-pressurization of a tank being worked on."
Accident Account
MI OSHA documents gave this account of the accident:
Tank owner PVS Technologies (formerly known as Pressure Vessel Service Inc. and PVS Chemicals Inc.) of Detroit had sent the carbon steel storage tank to Duratech in December for stripping and relining of the internal rubber coating. PVS used the tank to manufacture Ferric Chloride, commonly used in wastewater treatment, by chlorinating Ferrous Chloride.
PVS told Duratech that the tank had developed a small leak Nov. 10 in the discharge flange at the bottom, so the tank was drained and taken out of service. The tank needed some residual insolubles removed before it could be spark tested. A company called Inland Water removed the solids and pressure-washed the tank, using water only, on Nov. 22 and Nov. 30.
Duratech then spark tested, found "numerous cracks in the lining," and PVS opted to have the tank stripped and relined, the documents say.
Power Washing
When the tank was delivered to Duratech, it "had been steam cleaned and contained no explosive gases," "had its flanges sealed off" and had been "empty and dry for several weeks," the report says.
When it was time to remove the lining, the tank was loaded onto rollers and moved into "the outside blast room" of a steel outbuilding at Duratech, where it was stored on its side.
Exterior Heating
On Monday, Jan. 10, the report said, employees "checked the tank for an oxygen-enriched or explosive atmosphere and then blanked off all the flanges to prevent a fire…."
As they had done on several previous occasions, the workers then used propane torches to heat the outside of the tank "to help release the bonding agent used to secure the rubber coating to the inside of the tank to aid in the removal process."
The coating—Enduraflex VE-824-WN—is made by Blair Rubber Company, of Seville, OH. Blair describes the coating on its site as a Food and Drug Administration-compliant "white, semi-hard natural lining for water and chemical treatment service."
Blair Rubber Company
The tank lining, Enduraflex, was manufacturedby Blair Rubber Company.
The heating procedure involved moving the torches "in an S motion until the paint bubbles or flakes and then move on," documents said. Two workers used two propane torches on each side. The workers had followed the same procedure for a total of about 29 hours over four previous days.
On Jan. 10, the work continued for three or four hours (the documents list both times), then the workers ran out of propane.
'Squealing' and Steam
On Jan. 11, the employees resumed heating the tank with the torches about 7:45 a.m. About 9:10 a.m., they saw "smoke or steam pouring out of one of the top flanges and heard a whistling noise." (One of the workers described it as a "squealing" noise.)
Feeling that "something wasn't right," the workers turned off the torches and fled. The tank exploded about 15 seconds later.
The blast destroyed the vessel, seriously damaged the building and a nearby truck, and shook foundations several hundred yards away. The workers were unhurt.
Pressure Issues
Investigators later found that the nine-inch-diameter flange that had been smoking "was blocked off with a rounded blank and bolted down."
The investigation found that "all flanges were covered, which wouldn't allow any pressure to be released." One worker told investigators that "flanges were blocked to prevent oxygen from getting into [the] tank to prevent the rubber from catching fire while they heat[ed]the tank."
Either PVC or Water Inland—the identity is blacked out in the documents—told investigators that "the tank is not a pressure vessel and did not have a pressure relief device installed when it left there [sic] site."
'No One Knows'
A fire official said at the time that he had been told by people on the scene that the site may have been insufficiently ventilated, but that was not addressed in the MI OSHA report.
"There was nothing that [name redacted] knows of that would cause an explosion other than the heating [of] a tank that is sealed causing pressure to develop," investigators wrote.
Blair Rubber officials told investigators that heating the lining "would cause no explosive gases to be released and that the bonding agent after drying would also release no explosive gases."
The investigator wrote: "No one knows the cause of combustion."

Responding to the increased need for training in the Gulf region, Innoverto is pleased to announce a 5 day certified training conducted by BMTG and certified by Qualifi, a UK regulated body to take place in Dubai, UAE in January 2013.
One of the key differentiators in today's highly competitive market environment is customer service.
With growing and ever-changing customer expectations, continuous monitoring of customer needs is critical for organizations to remain competitive and deliver on customers' expectations. Customer service is the critical factor to ensure success and growth.
Nick Bishop, the course trainer states, "Customer service is, to customers, one of the most visible and significant aspects of their perceptions of the organization. It will shape their opinions and will often be the differentiator even above pure price. For customers the quality of customer service determines whether to buy, and particularly whether to remain a customer."
Christianna Tsiterou, Managing Partner of Innoverto, states, "Seeing the need for improved customer service, we are delighted to bring affordable customer service trainings and make them more accessible to the Middle Eastern Market."
The trainings are targeted to customer facing staff, telephone based staff and anyone involved in delivering customer service within the organization both internally and externally including account and product enquiries, complaint handling and account managers cross industries such as banking and retail, telecom, airlines, hospitality and government, from small and medium companies to large organizations.

GRIII: on tear? Can we say that? Stauskas defeats point guard gambit. John Friggin' Beilein. Defense… uh. Could be problematic.
We are in favor of winning the tourney. Assertions about tiredness are just urban legend. Teams we'd like to see Michigan drawn against (Syracuse, VCU, Cincinnati) and teams we wouldn't (Kentucky, Duke, Arizona). Looking at the conference.

endpoint has adopted RealityCorp's ClinTest Voice automation solution to accurately and safely validate its IVR systems.
A combination of endpoint's PULSE and ClinTest Voice, an easy to use solution for IVR test automation, provides endpoint's clients with world class technology, reliability, and development timelines.
Thanks to RealityCorp's ClinTest Voice, endpoint now has a rapidly configurable way to create test scripts in an exceptionally user friendly product.
endpoint is now able to save many days in testing to provide its clients even faster turnaround times. The company is also able to create a more consistent, bug free product to its end users.
"With ClinTest Voice we are able to rapidly create test scripts, including modules as dynamic as Randomization, and automate many aspects of our IVR testing in an environment where time is money," said Jonathan Ball, director of Testing at endpoint.
RealityCorp's ClinTest Voice has allowed test engineers to create easy to use, configurable test scripts for even the most dynamic randomization or drug dispensation scenarios.
The solution offers the testing team the option to never have to dial into the IVR again and produces accurate, relevant testing objective evidence that is comprehendible at any level.
ClinTest Voice also fully integrates with the associated IVR Database, and provides maximum visibility for all validation activities.
"ClinTest Voice produces objective evidence output document with embedded real-time recordings of individual prompts at the test step level, allowing users or auditors to quickly navigate to the desired test step and hear what was said by PULSE" added Ball.
RealityCorp was in news earlier this year for announcing the release of ClinTest Voice v4.0.

Duggan names first members of his Cabinet
Detroit Mayor-elect Mike Duggan today announced the first four members of his Cabinet.
Former state representative and mayoral candidate Lisa Howze will be Duggan's chief of staff, while former Detroit police chief Ike McKinnon will be deputy mayor. The two were named co-chairs of Duggan's transition team last month.
Bryan Barnhill, the mayor-elect's former campaign manager, will remain chief talent officer, a title he now holds with Duggan's transition team. F. Thomas Lewand will be group executive for jobs and economic growth.
Lewand is the father of Detroit Lions President Tom Lewand. The elder Lewand is a former chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party and partner at the Detroit law firm Bodman LLP. He helped broker the deal with the city of Detroit, Wayne County and the Lions to build Ford Field.
At today's news conference at the Compuware Building downtown, Duggan said he expects to start moving quickly — in as little as two weeks — on efforts to eliminate blight and improve public lighting and the fire department.
Duggan said most of his major cabinet appointments — another 15 or 20 members — will be made by Christmas, and that he expects more appointments to be made in January.
"We don't have time to fool around," Duggan said, adding that he will "bring in the best talents who are here and others who may be from here but who have left town."
His future appointments will be a mixture of people with experience in the public and private sectors.
Earlier today, Duggan and Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr announced they had reached an agreement on their delegation of powers.

Electrical Efficiency Modeling for Data Centers
Electrical Efficiency Modeling for Data Centers
APC by Schneider Electric
Conventional models for estimating the electrical efficiency of data centers are grossly inaccurate for real-world installations. Electrical loss estimates are typically made by summing inefficiencies of electrical devices, such as power and cooling equipment. Discover a more accurate efficiency model that can help you identify and quantify waste in power and cooling equipment, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).
