Clarification on Ice Packs and Empty Bottles

I certainly appreciate the change of tone in this blog post (it seems that these screeners weren't the only employees to get some retraining this week). However, two serious problems remain: 1) It has been frequently reported that TSA staff do not care whether or not something has been clearly stated on the website when they are imposing their own understanding of the rules; 2) It has been frequently reported that polite requests to speak to supervisors are treated as defiant behavior. The result for the passenger is a needlessly tense situation at best. - March 9, 2012 at 12:18 AM

Ask for a supervisor? Why so I can be singled out for even more harsh and pointless treatment like the other time I asked for a supervisor when both TSA regulations and my rights were being violated? No thanks. I'll be taking the train. You haven't totally ruined it with your security theater yet. Also, why are you telling journalists not to write about your expensive, flawed, and pointless scanners having a HUGE flaw?

Do the TSOs on the line understand that empty bottles and cold packs, including, apparently blue ice, are now permitted through the check point?
Do the TSOs on the line understand that liquids over 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters), NOT the three ounces your website proclaims, are permitted through the check point if there is a medical requirement for them?
Do the supervisors know this?
What recourse does a passenger have when an ignorant TSO and his or her equally ignorant supervisor refuse to follow the stated procedures?
If an "improperly trained" TSO steals my food and my beverages, I am medically unable to "just buy some more in the sterile area."
Read my lips. The stuff they sell in the sterile area can make me stop breathing. I happen to like breathing.
So when that "improperly trained" TSO claims what's on the website is "out of date," and demands I throw out medically required food and drink, how do I get to fly today? - March 9, 2012 at 12:28 AM

Hi Bob,
You wrote; "Leadership at that airport has since spoken to the passenger and apologized." But airport leadership didn't make this mistake; the TSA did.
It seems that this post serves to deflect the blame rather than accept it. It's not until much later in the post that the TSA sort of apologizes for its actions. And the admission is so vague, I couldn't see it.
It does the TSA no good when they can't admit a mistake at face value. Just say, "we screwed up and we'll try really hard not to do it again." That would at least give us some measure of faith that there are actual humans with faults running the program.
It would serve the TSA well to apologize when their officers make mistakes rather than try and hide behind cleverly worded sentences. - March 9, 2012 at 1:00 AM

It is of huge importance that both, passengers and officers know and act in harmony with the rules. The rules are what protect us, and obeying the rules differs the ordinary passengers from bad guys. From the passengers side, it is not necessary to know the entire set of rules by heart, but only the part that relates specifically to our own situation (empty bottles for breast milk) - and that is what everyone can do - for our own security and safety.

This would be all fine and dandy if we passengers were told that it doesn't matter what the website says or that the website is out of date.
Frankly, I'm more surprised it took you this many days to address this particularly egregious violation of a passenger's dignity and of your own rules, but you jumped within hours with that horrible post about Jon Corbett's video. Amazing. Just absolutely amazing that our tax dollars are used for your salary and this kind of "communication".

The confusing part here is much more primary: There is absolutely no justification why the TSA is so concerned specifically with the liquid state of matter.
Furthermore, ice packs are frozen solid, and therefore should always be permitted (as indicated by the Britney incident). - March 9, 2012 at 6:30 AM

You forgot the part where the officer then forced the passenger to pump her milk or leave the kit behind.
"There was a TSA agent in there using the restroom and I asked her if there was a private place to pump, and she said no," Strand said. "I had to stand at the sink in my heels and dress pumping as travelers came and went. I was humiliated and fighting back tears. It confuses me why an ice pack and breast pump were a threat to national security."
What if, hypothetically, she had shown the TSO your updated language on the website right there at the airport? Do you honestly think the TSO would have said 'oh, gee, I was wrong, please go through'? No. and they wont in the future.
Cargo goes on planes unchecked, airport personel go to work un-scanned and you're stopping mothers with *empty* bottles. Security theater at its finest. - March 9, 2012 at 6:38 AM

By "those involved are going to undergo retraining and corrective actions." I assume you mean the incompetent employee responsible for humiliating this poor woman will ultimately suffer no consequences other than receiving a couple of days off from their normal duty to be "re-trained".

What about diabetics and their ice packs? I recall a diabetic woman wasn't able to bring her ice pack through security a few months ago. I believe you said she didn't have insulin with her, but as a diabetic myself, I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't have had insulin with her. We can't live without it.

If a passenger is being held up by a TSO in a similar situation, what should that passenger do? It looks like we should ask for a supervisor. What happens if the supervisor incorrectly supports the original TSO? Is there someone higher up the chain we are supposed to ask for? It may not be possible to call your 800 number at the checkpoint since the TSA may still have the phone and it may not help anyway.
Verifying something with the TSA's website sounds great until you get to a checkpoint that says that information is out of date or that's not the way they do things at that airport. It does happen. Although if TSO's would use some common sense, these incidents probably wouldn't happen. - March 9, 2012 at 8:43 AM

As has been pointed out in several comments TSA employees make up their own rules, state the TSA website is out of date and as demonstrated by the event being discuss TSA does not hold its employees accountable for their actions. Has an incident such as this happened in the private sector the employee and the employees supervisor would have been fired on the spot.
Is it any wonder that TSA and its employees are the most distrusted government agency in the history of the United States?

I go through screening twice a week, 90+ times a week, I pretty much bring the same stuff each week. If I am bringing something different, I check the website and print it out.
Still leary about the evidence on the scanners. Usually once of twice a year is not a big deal, but 90+, they haven't been around long enough to collect meaningful data.
Sorry I don't trust you on this, but many years ago, when working for the Town cutting grass and emptying garbage one summer, I noticed our week killer we sprayed around the school grounds was 2,4,5 T, agent orange. I, being an aspiring chemist, requested rubber gloves. I was told I could bathe in it and was not rehired the next summer because I was a trouble maker.
The search stuff I am okay with, except in Seattle, they are universally crabby there, but it is probably due to now sun and too much coffee. - March 9, 2012 at 10:25 AM

Congress mandated that all cargo loaded on passenger aircraft be inspected with a deadline of several years ago, one that TSA has failed to meet. Yet TSA feels it is importatant to harrass passengers about things that have no impact of safety.
Seems to me that TSA should focus on things, like uninspected cargo, instead of fixating on breasts.
Oh, and hire some employees who are trainable. - March 9, 2012 at 10:54 AM

"Mistakes like this" happen far more often than "from time to time," as evidenced by the frequent statements from the TSA in response to embarrassing incidents regularly reported in the press.
"Mistakes like this" are merely symptoms of long-standing systemic problems that permeate the TSA. Those systemic problems are no secret. And they seriously undermine the TSA's credibility as well as its ability to perform its stated mission.
Unfortunately, TSA leadership has apparently decided to ignore the systemic problems. They show no evidence of interest in learning from mistakes in the past, as those mistakes just keep recurring. They appear to tolerate incompetent TSOs, and believe that a vague (and unverifiable) assurance of "retraining" and unspecified "corrective actions" is a sufficient response whenever an individual employee's incompetence embarrasses the TSA enough to require official spin doctoring. Since "mistakes like this" continue to occur regularly, it's clear this approach is not effective.
The TSA's fetish for secrecy, and particularly the immunity TSOs enjoy from accountability under the cloak of "civil service privacy," enable and encourage "mistakes like this." I'm certain that the incompetent TSOs in Lihue are still screening passengers. The only real solution is the transparency and accountability that the TSA sorely lacks. That is the only way to create confidence that TSOs are competent and professional, and to actually keep aviation safe. - March 9, 2012 at 2:47 PM

So these people are ungoing addition training.
How is more training going to help when TSA can't even teach its employees how to recognize something simple like an ID?
"An 81-year-old Columbia Heights woman flying home recently got snagged in the Transportation Security Administration's dragnet at the airport in Fort Myers, Fla.
Her son, Michael Jaruch, told Whistleblower that when his mother showed her state-issued nondriver ID card at the security checkpoint, the TSA agent rejected it because it had no expiration date. Her passport was accepted, however." - March 9, 2012 at 3:00 PM

I've seen the video there FK, and if you are willing to believe anyone who has such an obvious anti-TSA bias as to make up his own web site called TSAoutofourpants then I can understand how you can believe that his video shows so many things that is really doesn't. I can also understand why you are so willing to buy into his story even when it's not supported by any facts what-so-ever. His "videography" is not poor, its non-existant. There is no video of him passing through a scanner, or of his having done so with the metal object he describes being hidden anywhere, only his commentary. As they say, "Where's the BEEF?"
I am not surprised that Bob responded to this in the manner he did. Firstly because we don't advertise the vulnerabilities of our equipment or procedures, or even discuss them with the public. Secondly, because the story has no facts, only commentary. Which of course is why Bob cannot comment other than as he has done. Mr. Corbett has a web site, ask him to give us the facts, the rest of the video, and let us make up our own minds. Until then, there is really nothing to comment on. - March 9, 2012 at 8:52 PM

"When it all comes down to it, we're just trying to keep passengers safe."
That's the entire point, isn't it? Nearly $100B spent, 60000+ employees and you harass seniors with back braces and nursing mothers. FBI agents and Congressional staffers who accurately describe TSA activities as security "theater." You can't tell the difference between a bottle of water and liquid explosives. You try to justify keeping cupcakes off aircraft on the basis of security. Your weekly reports claim success for drugs, animals and all sorts of non-threats to aviation. You understand that while you repeatedly claim that you're "just trying to keep passgngers safe," the evidence suggests you don't have a clue on how to do that. - March 10, 2012 at 1:05 AM

If you get into a verbal tussle with a TSA agent, you WILL lose, so don't plan on flying that day. And since no airline considers what happens between TSA and their passengers as any of THEIR business, they will keep your airfare and will charge you for missing the flight and/or rescheduling it for another time, probably at a MUCH higher fare or for huge 'change' fees--$200!
If the TSA agent was wrong, and that is why you did not fly, the airlines could not care less--it's just more money for them, money for air travel they didn't have to deliver--what's better than that for the airlines?!
This is why the act of an American going to an airport is, in essence, a huge crapshoot. That's when you learn that your ticket doesn't buy you a seat on anything, and it certainly doesn't buy you transport to another airport--if the TSA gets involved, it decidedly does not. Your relationship with the airline, hundreds or thousands of dollars of purchased airfare notwithstanding, begins ONLY when you successfully pop out at the far end of a TSA security checkpoint. Before that you are just a credit-card swipe.
And what any TSA agent tells you is the LAW--nothing else matters. And TSA IS doing attitude profiling, so if you don't like what the TSA does about ANYTHING, YOU are viewed as the problem and TSA will act to keep you from popping out at the far end.
You must be quiet, acquiesce to any and all requests of ANY TSA agent, say nice things, smile like an idiot, grin like a fool, give up whatever personal property they tell you to give up--then maybe, just maybe, you'll fly. Anything short of that and, well, like I said . . . it's a crapshoot. - March 10, 2012 at 1:57 AM

Somebody wrote on here that knowing the TSA 'rules' is what separates US from the 'bad guys'. Whoa! That is NOT what the TSA is about. The TSA and DHS exist solely because the 'good guys' can not be differentiated from the 'bad guys'--in-flight bloodthirsty terrorists.
So if you have lived your life thinking that you are a rational person who would not and could not hurt anyone, understand that the TSA considers YOU to be indistinguishable from the most virulent, retrograde jihadi Islamic terrorist you could possibly imagine. The operative word is 'indistinguishable'. YOU are just as likely to be capable of putting a boxcutter to the throat of a child or of a female flight attendant as is anyone from the hills of Afghanistan or the hateful desert of Saudi Arabia. YOU are just as capable of getting on that plane with the knowledge that 20 pounds of C-4 explosives are in a piece of checked luggage. You are perceived by TSA as JUST AS CAPABLE of arranging for Uzi machine pistols to have been sequestered on board the plane by ground-service crew, machine pistols that you will seek out during a flight in order to kill scores of passengers or take over the airplane by blasting through the cockpit door.
The TSA see YOU as no different than any thug from Iraq. Feel safe tonight. - March 10, 2012 at 2:06 AM

Not good enough. "Retraining" is a nice way of brushing off these incidents as no big deal. The screener involved needs to be fired - no more excuses. If the only consequence of violating passengers' civil rights is an afternoon of "retraining" then these incidents will continue.
As a nursing mother of a toddler, I can now travel with a manual pump and get it past your security theater without much difficulty - but your agency's repeated poor treatment of nursing mothers is the reason I flat-out refused to travel by air for work until our child was over a year old. I was not going to risk some power-tripping screener manhandling (and possibly breaking) my $400 pump, mocking or embarrassing me in front of other passengers, or refusing to let me bring breast milk through security. Asking for a supervisor only earns retaliation and puts the rogue screener on the defensive, and filing a complaint gets you nowhere. If you print out information from the website, you're told that it's different at that airport and they can make up their own rules. - March 10, 2012 at 9:25 AM

The names and photographs of all TSA employees who are identified as needing remedial training should be posted in all airports, post offices, and on the internet for a period of not less than two years following the date of remedial training.
These TSA employees should also be required to wear an orange sash with the word "REMEDIAL" in black letters of not less than 3" in height, at all times while on duty, for a period of not less than 6 months following remedial training. During this 6-month reacclimatization period, these employees should be assigned a one-on-one supervisor to be tethered to the remedial screener with an orange cord of not more than four feet in length, at all times while the screener is on airport property.
I believe that the mere existence of such a policy would motivate most incompetent TSA employees to either make absolutely certain they are thoroughly aware and up to date on all policies, or to quit, saving us all much money, time, and aggravation. - March 10, 2012 at 4:04 PM

I'm confused. Is this a reaction to the "breast pump incident" in Lihue, or is this a separate incident where another incompetent TSO at Lihue caused a passenger needless difficulty?
Either way, you're yet again ignoring the real problem. What you call "mistakes" happen a lot more often than "from time to time." I've experienced them myself. But only a very few of them get reported, and only a very few of those are embarrassing enough for the bosses to take notice and order an evasive response from Bob.
There are good reasons why the vast majority of the "mistakes" aren't reported. Most victims either don't have time, or they don't know they have the right to ask for a supervisor and/or "contact TSA." There presumably are procedures that require TSOs to notify passengers of those rights, but they're most likely followed as inconsistently as everything else the TSA does. Employees at checkpoints have very obvious, very strong incentives to discourage passengers from complaining. As their bosses do not hold employees accountable for following the rules correctly, or for treating passengers with professional courtesy, "hear no evil" would seem to be the best approach to problems caused by incompetence.
Even if a passenger has read this blog and is aware of the right to complain, they may decide that complaining is a waste of time. It's very clear that the TSA doesn't care, and even John Pistole will blame the passenger when something serious goes wrong. There may even be the fear that complaining will land a passenger on some secret list that will ensure greater hassles.
The most likely reason is that TSOs have done an excellent job of conditioning passengers to know that the TSA expects them to be docile and obedient "if they want to fly today." Enough TSOs are bullies who will not tolerate any show of assertiveness. The lesson is to surrender whatever the TSO demands, no matter how wrong and humiliating. Some people do complain, but others just endure the humiliation and join the continually-increasing ranks of people who have good reason to hate the TSA.
What is clear is that the TSA tolerates these "mistakes," and shows no interest in addressing the systemic problems that allow incompetent employees to keep making them. It's apparently enough to rely on Bob to issue insincere "apologies" whenever someone reports a "mistake" serious enough to cause embarrassment. - March 12, 2012 at 12:40 PM

You dopes seem to be doing a lot of apologizing for egregious behavior. Makes me think their is a clear failure in the TSA from the top all the way down.
Here's a thought, think first, plan second, act third. Let me walk you through this. Find a female TSA employee and perform a walk-through of her journey through the airport. If she is made to feel uncomfortable in any way, revise the process. Next, find a male TSA employee and perform the same walk-through. If he is made to feel uncomfortable in any way, revise the process. Repeat the walk-throughs until it works.
Once you find a process that isn't a clear violation of the 4th amendment, give training to EVERY TSA employee. No policy shall be enforced until EVERY TSA employee knows the rules. If one person complains due to unreasonable action by a TSA employee, the entire TSA is at fault.
Finally, post the policies on the website, then QA that website on a regular, translated daily, basis.
Bottom line is that we should NEVER hear that the TSA is screwing up the simplest of niceties towards American citizens. You work for the government, and the government works for we, the people. - March 12, 2012 at 12:53 PM

When I was traveling with my infant, I was given tons of grief for the empty baby bottles which were playtex drop-ins and not a traditional bottle at all. I was given grief for the mysterious powder in the baby formula can. The TSA agent even tried to force me to open the jars of baby food I had claiming that they would not spoil during an 18 hour trip by plane. I requested a supervisor who told me the same thing. I showed a printout of the website that was printed that morning. I was still hitting a wall with them. It wasn't until my child started screaming for food that they finally called over some other person who basically asked why she was crying. I pointed out that they were holding her food and milk because it is apparently dangerous even though the website says it is allowed. About 30 minutes after the ordeal began, they decided I could travel with the formula and food. This was in the Orlando airport. Unfortunately a scaled down version of this has happened when I have flown out of Tulsa, OKC, Seattle, and many others. I am dreading traveling with my new baby as I know I will be dealing with this yet again. - March 13, 2012 at 12:19 PM

The problem with icepacks is that, the instant you remove them from the freezer, they start melting. And-

What this and too many other similar "mistakes" show is that TSA leadership has no interest in holding screeners accountable for knowing the rules and applying them properly. They apparently don't believe that the presence of incompetent screeners who regularly make embarrassing "mistakes" is detrimental to the Mission.
After all, the screeners always manage to meet their monthly quotas of drugs, snakes, inert grenades, and fake military jackets. Even though none of those "successes" are connected with terrorism or intent to harm aviation, they provide irrefutable proof that screeners are doing a good job even if they don't know the rules and/or treat passengers with something less than professional courtesy. And if a screener makes a "mistake" so egregious as to require posterior-covering, Blogger Bob can make it go away with a suitably evasive post that blames the passenger whenever possible.
The only real message I can get from this and similar posts is that if your life or health (including mental health) depend on TSOs knowing the rules and applying them properly, you must not fly. That's an unfortunate reality that nobody should find acceptable. It's an even more unfortunate reality that the TSA finds it entirely acceptable. That became abundantly clear when John Pistole did not hesitate to show his arrogant contempt for the public by blaming the passenger in this "breast pump" incident. The culture of contempt that encourages these "mistakes" permeates the TSA from the top down. - March 15, 2012 at 1:31 PM

- so, while appearing to let ice packs through, the rules actually only let 3(.4) ounces of ice through.

The ice deal only became an issue after TSA Screeners used different screening standards for Britney Spears so her cup of ice could go through security than what is used for everyone else.
TSA has never been able to train its employees in exceptions to the standard rules and I doubt they ever will. - March 15, 2012 at 2:23 PM

"Another fact: There are 4000 employees at TSA HQ in DC. What the hell do you need 4000 people in DC for? HR issues? No because that's done through lockheed martin. Computer issues? No because that is done through lockheed martin. "
Completely out of touch in terms of management fraction. Read the Congressional report. Broken and probably not fixable. - March 15, 2012 at 9:32 PM

No policy shall be enforced until EVERY TSA employee knows the rules. Review policies once a year. If one person complains due to unreasonable action by a TSA employee, the entire TSA is at fault. - May 17, 2012 at 7:50 PM

I would like to suggest that TSA update the wording in both this blog post and the "Important Information on Traveling With Formula, Breast Milk, and Juice" section of tsa.gov to include the word "frozen" in regards to icepacks. This would clarify that even if you do travel with empty bottles or medical supplies, your icepacks need to be frozen in order to carry-on.

I was told by the TSA person at Bozeman airport that I could take water through the checkpoint if it was frozen. Frozen water is not a liquid - was she correct?

I was also told that I could not take an ice pack with empty bottles. I am glad to see that this was reported and resolved. I ended up throwing away my ice back and using backs of ice (from airport vendors) for all of my subsequent trips. Such a pain. Now that I am again traveling and have a new baby, I considered the option of pumping a little milk so the bottle would not be empty..or just filling with cows milk. But I am glad to see that I won't need to do this.

I recently went through security in DEN, as I do about once a week. I was connecting from overseas and forgot that I hadn't drunk the last bit of water (perhaps a cup) from my (not empty) water bottle. I offered to drink the cup of water but was told that the rules require I go stand on the other side of security and drink it there.
Where's the logic in that? Clearly if it's dangerous in some way to allow me to drink it 10 feet on one side of security it's equally dangerous to allow me to drink it 10 feet on the other side of security. - April 1, 2013 at 8:00 PM

May 16 went through screening at houston IAH with a near empty water bottle.my bag with the near empty bottle was pulled aside and i was advised that the bottle was to be confiscated. i offered to drink the remaining water, but the ISA agent said that i could not drink the water this side of screening but could go on the other side. i declined but could not see the sense of her request and statement that this was an TSA rule. mine was a simple commerical water bottle but i did see the same rule applied to definitively more expensive bottles. is this a RULE of simple a local application.

The screeners should have been fired, because this is wrong wrong wrong on so many levels.
Mistakes are one thing, which that TSA crew committed the week prior when they proved they didn't know about proper procedure regarding breastmilk.
Staking someone out and then humiliating and intimidating a poor nursing mother for over 40 minutes AND making her mss her flight--that's not a mistake. That's criminal and it should be punished.
I hope she squeezes every last penny out of TSA and then the spotlight rains down on TSA is publicly as youre all publicly made an example of. Something along the lines of that Cool Hand Luke ditch digging scene would do it for me. - June 25, 2013 at 1:31 AM

All of this with the retraining and apologizing reminds me of how the union handles situations and protects the employee that deserves to be fired. Get your act together and take action that needs to be taken.

Hi - the link listed in the article doesn't point to a valid page anymore. I was very curious to know more since the ice pack I brought with me on a flight was confiscated which made for transporting breastmilk on the return flight a PITA. I had read the guidance on the TSA site, but was looking for additional info so I could make sure I did it right next time.

I have read information provided re gelpacks for medication requiring refrigeration. My questions. I have a coast to coast flight flight at 7:30am that will last for 8 hours and will need to take the medication midday. This it the first time that I have needed to carry the medication on board the plane w/the icepaks.
I understand that they should be frozen or as frozen as they can be an hour plus out of refrigerator when I am in the TSA line.
Question - Can I use the gelpaks that come w/my medication when ii is shipped - because they stay frozen longer- they are not transparent but are labeled "Nordic Ice,freeze and use as a long lasting ice pack" - dimensions are 6" x 6?'
Question 2 - Do I need a note from my MD if bottle says use twice a day and he has recently increased the dosage to 3 times a day.
Question 3 -Do these requirements apply to overseas travel? - June 21, 2014 at 8:00 AM

QCSD Hopes to Dump Solid Waste
Joshua Sebold
Staff Writer
The Quincy Community Service District board of directors agreed at its April meeting that General Manager Larry Sullivan should continue working with Public Works Director Bob Perreault on the possibility of transfer of the district's solid waste powers to the county.
Sullivan told directors he asked Perreault what he thought about the idea after a previous meeting where the board discussed whether dropping those powers would simplify a consolidation with East Quincy Service District.
The manager said Perreault was very open to the idea, as he was hoping the county could get all the trash pick-up contracts outside of Portola into one countywide deal for a smoother transition towards all trash going through Intermountain Disposal's planned materials recovery facility in Delleker.
In a telephone interview, Perreault explained having all solid waste narrowed down to two contracts, one for the county and one for the city, would allow the two entities to do business under a limited joint powers agreement.
He said having service districts involved would force the groups to work under a typical JPA, which would force each entity to answer to one board, which would set solid waste policies for the county, city and districts.
Perreault said the limited JPA would allow the county and city to retain more autonomy and set their own policies while still getting some advantages in bargaining by having the largest possible group of customers.
Back at the QCSD meeting, director Denny Churchill asked if the MRF would be a sorting facility, where all trash could go into the same bins and truck, with recyclables filtered out at the transfer site. Sullivan confirmed that would be the case.
Director Ruth Jackson asked if giving up the solid waste powers to the county would void the district's current contract. Sullivan said he wasn't sure.
Board president Kim Kraul voiced her concern that urban areas like Quincy would end up paying more to subsidize more rural areas of the county, where trash pick-up is more expensive for the company.
Director Dick Castaldini asked how committed the county and IMD were to getting the MRF.
Churchill responded, "They want to build this thing, and my understanding is they have the funding to build this."
He added, "It's a money maker in other areas and that's why they want to get into it. It employs 'X' number of people and it's a good deal."
Churchill also mentioned that QCSD had enough issues on its plate without keeping track of solid waste anymore.
Director Jim Bequette commented that it was sad to give up the powers after spending years fighting for what he said was about a 10 percent discount for QCSD customers compared to other parts of the county, but he felt it was the best move.
The other board members agreed and gave Sullivan the go-ahead to cooperate with the county as it moved forward.
Perreault explained the preliminary work he had done to the county Board of Supervisors later in the month and got their approval to keep the ball rolling.

The New School for Social Research
The New School > The New School for Social Research NSSR > The Modernist Imagination(2)
Apply Online | Contact
The word modernism has come to stand for a great range of activities and ideas. Early in the twentieth century it was often used to express an opposition to tradition and to conventions associated with realism and romanticism. Some influential modernists claimed that the new forms of art embodied a quasi-religious force with the capacity to redeem the chaos and nihilism of contemporary culture. Still others viewed modernism more narrowly, in exclusively aesthetic terms, praising its commitment to formalism, myth and irony as an expression of "values only to be found in art" (Clement Greenberg). However understood, modernism is now widely felt to be a relic of times past. Although modernists like Joyce, Kafka, Proust and Picasso continue to excite critical commentary, younger artists typically turn elsewhere for inspiration. What was modernism, and what precisely is the nature of its enduring value? In an effort to address these questions, the course will examine a variety of primary works (by writers like Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf and artists like Picasso, Duchamp and Jackson Pollock) and a smaller number of critical texts (by Octavio Paz, Clement Greenberg, Lionel Trilling and Susan Sontag). The course will also devote attention to three seminal modernist films: Ingmar Bergman's "Persona," Federico Fellini's "8& 1/2" and Jean-luc Godard's "The Married Woman."

Analysis of Porous Media-flow
Jiunn-Chi WuNational Central University
This presentation considers the analysis of electroosmotic flow in porous media.
Electroosmotic flow is a flow that occurs in microchannels, and is driven by the effect of an electric double layer at the solid-fluid interface. Electroosmotic flow has already been widely utilized in biomedical/biochemical applications to transport, separate and control fluids and samples.
This presentation shows our study on the fabrication of the electroosmotic pump and electroosmotic flow in porous microchannels.
Keynote speaker's biography: Prof. Jiunn-Chi Wu is with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Central University since 1988. He has earned a PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1988.
He has been using COMSOL Multiphysics since 2002 for research and education in electronic cooling and microfluidic simulation.
His current research interest is in the following areas: modeling of micro flows and microfluidic application, and electroosmotic micropump analysis and fabrication.
Jiunn-Chi Wu was one of the keynote speakers at the COMSOL User's Conference, fall 2006 in Taipei.

I am loving the themed kickoff menu and the new settings for the panel and desktop. The only feature from KDE 3 that I can think of which is missing is the ability to individually change the wallpapers of each virtual desktop.
I am glad they added more compiz plugins like the cube. I doubt many kde users will be downloading compiz anymore, since it has been so nicely integrated.
With the Jaunty packages I have noticed a few glitches regarding that button on the top right of the desktop, and I have noticed some problems with plasma. Nothing major, but I certainly recommend keeping it inside a virtual machine at least until the release candidate.
Now if only I could get DRI2 compiled...

Great news! Thanks for the heads-up!
I've been supporting Cedega for 2 years now and this is the best release so far. Good to see progress being made.
Phoronix: Cedega 6.1 Gaming Service Released
Back in February we shared that Cedega 6.1 would be entering beta soon and in June the Cedega 6.1 beta was released. Three months after the public beta, the final release of Cedega 6.1 is now available to Transgaming's customers. Transgaming is now advertising this release as a transformation into a "community-supported membership service." Transgaming is also providing a new Cedega Gaming Service Membership and has launched the Cedega Certified Series of PC Games...
Great news! Thanks for the heads-up!
I've been supporting Cedega for 2 years now and this is the best release so far. Good to see progress being made.
An article on wine vs Cedega please.
And use wine "properly" with separate WINEPREFIX for each game, use native dlls as far as possible etc...
I strongly believe there is no advantage of Cedega over wine, if wine is used properly.
Using as many native dlls as you can kinda defeats the purpose of wine.
Well, the advantage would obviously be that you don't have to know about any of that stuff just to run your favourite game
I guess Cedega will have more of a problem when WINE starts making it really easy to get the optimal configuration for each game/application. It's probably one of the strengths of Cedega.
I see no new games supported by Cedega (except Spore) with this new release. Even worse Battlfield 2142 is still listed as officially supported while online isn't working (because punkbuster isn't supported)
I rarely use Cedega, crossover games works far better and has better support.
Yes and now. Native can mean both native Linux or native Windows. Remember NDISWrapper? This "wraps" native windows dlls to look like native Linux libraries.

Princeton Tec Apex Headlamp - 275 Lumens
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Heavy, clunky, goes thru battery's too fast. I like my bd rechargeable sprinter way better.
Great lamp, great light, a little heavy!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have used this lamp for three years on multi-week treks. And when we ended up on the trail on dark dark nights in the rain and cold in temps down to five or ten degrees we were glad to have this solid gear. If you need serious illumination in the dark this tried and true lamp does a great job! The light it puts out is just amazing!

This head lamp is a bright one. Weather your hiking down a trail on a summers night or just Afraid of the dark, This head lamp is for you. And Blinding your Buddies in the face is no problem, But it is a mean thing to do. LoL. This head lamp will not let you down. It's on the heavy side (4 AA Batteries). But well worth the extra weight.
Will this work with rechargeable batteries,...
Will this work with rechargeable batteries, or will it be considerably dimmer? What is the length of time on high and low with rechargeables?

Your Own Spotlight
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Holy. Crap. This thing is bright. From shoveling out the driveway at ten at night to working the night shift on the fireline to late walks with the dog, this light gives you the ability to see and to be seen. After retiring (breaking) my old PT triple LED headlamp from 2008, the step up is incredible. This light offers excellent battery life which is metered so you do not experience the slow tapering of illumination, it stays bright, then dims rapidly. Personally, I like this. Especially since there is a blinking battery indicator that lets you know when you're at >40%, <40%, and <5% so it's easy to keep an eye on your power level. The brightness settings differ enough in their illumination powers to actually encourage you to utilize this function. The two buttons for switching between the maxbright LED and the ultrabright LEDs takes a little time to learn, but it's easy enough to figure out. You can then go from high to low setting in either light source. The light and battery pack are a little on the heavy side but for the light output, it's a small price.

High Beams For Your Head
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I went through my current collection of headlamps for the winter and found that they had all died miserable deaths at one point in time. Now, I thought, is when I go big, so I got the
Princeton Tec Apex Headlamp - 275 Lumens. I showed this off to my amazed extended family and after some use, i know why.
This lamp is STRONG. I can't believe how much power and sight can come from such a small bulb. I've been using this on dawn patrol ascents AND descents along with anything that I need to do in the dark. The regular bulb and the red caution bulb has two settings (high turns on first, then press again for the lower setting and once more to go back to high. holding in turns the light off) and a battery pack in the back.
Durability is still in question, but so far so good so long as I don't snag the cord on anything. The weight is a bit heavy, especially for those who like their heads unweighted. But, the power one gets from this light is well worth the weight penalty. Will update durability and helmet use soon.

EVGA GTX 680 FTW Gets EKWB Water Blocks!
Wed, Oct 24, 2012 - 4:48 PMEVGA's already superfast GTX 680 FTW factory overclocked graphics card has had a custom water block designed for it by EK Water Blocks!
This water block directly cools the GPU, RAM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and its VRM to remain stable under high overclocks. The EK-FC680 GTX FTW water block also features a very high flow design, allowing it to be easily used in liquid cooling systems that have weaker water pumps.
The base is made of nickel plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality POM Acetal material or satin finish Acrylic material (depending on the variant). Seal integrity is ensured by quality rubber gaskets. Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for a safe, painless installation procedure.
Up to four EK-FC680 GTX FTW series water blocks can be interconnected with the EK-FC Bridge & Link system. Additionally this water block lines up with the EK-FC680 GTX(+) series water blocks, thereby further expanding users choice of graphics cards. The correct connection link for this water block is already enclosed with the product. More pictures and further details are available at the link below.

I also noticed that the pizzas coming out of the oven did not have alot of large bubbles. Maybe that will be helpful with dough formulation.
Those pics are making me hungry for that pizza again.I searched online for the sauce. Not alot of hits on it. I will call the company on Monday to see who carries it in the area.Norma, The pizza had a great flavor and they did cheese it once lightly, add sauce in a swirl and then add more cheese on top. They also sprinkled what appeared to be oregano on before putting in the oven. When you were eating the pizza you could see the flakes on top.My newyork style is around 64 percent hydration, the dough they were using looked definately dryer when thet were working it.
Just talked to Morningstar. Bova foods stocks it in our area.This is the company that sells it now.http://www.pcoastp.com/default.aspx

One of the most powerful medicines we have access to is free.
What is this super-drug? It's exercise. In fact, people living with diabetes can lower their blood sugars and improve their health by indulging in daily exercise or physical activities. Just ten minutes of exercise can assist with lowering blood sugars for the next 72 hours, said Pam Boeck, a registered nurse and certified diabetes educator at Norman Regional's Outpatient Diabetes Center.
The benefits of physical activity are: decreased body fat, improved insulin sensitivity, increased muscle strength and bone density, and lower blood pressure. All of these benefits may directly or indirectly affect those with diabetes as there is a strong correlations between diabetes and heart disease, said Susan Pacific, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at the Diabetes Center.
"Often times, persons with pre-diabetes or diabetes are not diagnosed right away, so it's important for all of us to be physically active," Pacific said.
At Norman Regional's Diabetes Center, patients in the Type 2 Diabetes Education Class have their blood sugar levels checked at 2:30 p.m., Boeck said. Then the patients participate in 10 minutes of light physical activity. After retesting themselves, some patients have seen their blood sugars drop as much as 100 points.
Moderate exercise increases insulin sensitivity because the muscles take up glucose at a faster rate which can lower blood glucose. But there are precautions a person with diabetes needs to take before exercising, Pacific said.
Drinking water before, during and after exercise will prevent dehydration. Pacific also recommends wearing a medical identification tag or card that states if you have diabetes.
Pacific uses the acronym SMART to help set exercise goals – which stands for specific, measureable, attainable, realistic and timely! Seek out activities that will work for you.
"Ultimately, it's important for persons to know what motivates them and find activities they like doing to be successful," Pacific said.
Some people with diabetes may have joint pain or complications such as nerve damage. Good exercise options for those people include water exercise, swimming, a stationary bike, and muscle stretching. There are also armchair exercises for safe stretching and strengthening.
Boeck said just taking advantage of exercise, the simple and free medicine, is the first step. "Start off slow and work your way up," she recommends. "Even 10 minutes can make a difference."
