Announcement on Mt Polley inquiry this week, Bennett says
Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, says his government will be making two announcements this week — one on how the BC Liberal government will handle the inquiry into the Mount Polley tailings spill, and two, how the government will deal with tailings ponds throughout the province. Both will have independent elements, he says.
Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, the NDP critic for Mines and Energy says an inquiry is definitely in order, but it should be independent of the government. In fact, Macdonald says, the government bears responsibility for the spill because they have cut the number of people who do inspections significantly.
"Inspections at mines have fallen by 50 per cent since 2001," Macdonald said. "It is a massive failure on the part of government, which is responsible for public safety.
Bennett said the reduction in inspections relates to gravel pits, aggregate producers and placer mines, which process surface gravel for minerals. Annual geotechnical inspections of large mines such as Mount Polley have continued, he said.
Macdonald says that there were numerous warnings that the Mount Polley tailings ponds had a problem.
"Bill Bennett has admitted he knows there was a problem with the tailings pond. The company that originally engineered the tailings ponds indicated that they were beyond capacity and said in a letter they could no longer be responsible for them. In 2009, Mount Polley was asking for the ability to release water."
Ministry of Environment records show the mine has had an effluent permit since 1997, and has operated since startup with a water surplus due to precipitation. In 2009 the company applied to amend the permit to allow discharge of up to 1.4 million cubic meters of water a year to discharge dam seepage effluent into Hazeltine Creek.
That permit was approved in 2012 after an independent report was commissioned to examine water quality impacts from sediment and contaminants, and measures needed to control them.
With the mine and its tailings facilities expanding and an exhausted pit being converted to underground mining, Mount Polley applied for another amendment to discharge up to three million cubic meters of treated water to Polley Lake.
That permit amendment was being considered at the time of the Aug. 4 tailings dam breach.

i can tell you waht NOT to get... I am waiting for tech support folks from reseller to come back on failing hardware
Photo editing is no longer gonna be issue for you. It really depends on how big are pictures you will edit.
64 bit OS is a must. Fakalot of DDRAM 3 is a must these days. so get faster ram like 1600 or more if you have spare cash. The more you have it - the better. i suggest 32 GB at least. its gonna give you good overall boost to OS as well no matter how you look at it.
Get Really big HDD instead of SSD. You wont notice much difference on linux. i never shut down my pc, so i rarely use my SSD. only at boot.
get good CPU. Vishera from AMD seems to be good choice, providing Mother F&*$##$ works. Intel is also good, but i doubt you will notice much difference for a few hundred extra euro.
GPU is irrelevant, most of job is done in CPU anyway. Blender takes advantage of GPU a bit now and it may become better in the future, but i see no point in this at the moment. I strongly suggest Nvidia or Intel, though AMD for your purpose should also be a OK. Last is not exactly my favourite for crap drivers. Bot binary and open source suck.
if you have a lot of RAM HDD is irrelevant.all is cached anyway. and having SSD is not going to solve much in job related taks anyway. you can't cache your gimp onto SSD, since SSD die very quickly under load.
So, a lot of rahter quick ram, motherboard with high front side bus speed and CPU that supports all that, ideally something with many CPU as i personally noted that Gimp seems to be multi threaded, but i dont use it that much. In a nutshell it will do.

ETC.: Earnhardt has completed 99.1 percent (11,113) of the 11,209 total laps contested in 28 career starts at Richmond. His average start is 16.0, while his average finish is 13.8. He has one DNF there.
22 JOEY LOGANO, Ford
Team: Penske Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Joey Logano continued his outstanding climb upwards in the standings in the last three races. After moving from 16th to 13th after Michigan, Logano rose three more places after Bristol to 10th place, and climbed two more places to eighth after Atlanta. He trails points leader Jimmie Johnson by 108 points (down from 136 last week), is 21 points behind seventh-ranked Dale Earnhardt Jr. and leads ninth-ranked Greg Biffle by two points.
RICHMOND RECORD: 9 career starts, 0 wins, 2 top-fives, 2 top-10s and 0 poles. Best career finish: 3rd in spring 2013. Finished 30th in this race last year and finished third in this year's spring race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Logano is on the verge of making his first-ever Chase. He just needs to stay focused and steady and hope for good luck at Richmond. Unfortunately, he hasn't had the greatest of overall records there, but he does come into Saturday knowing he finished third there in the spring. Here's his thoughts on Richmond: "It's something I've been saying and I will continue saying - we are not going to look at doing anything different this weekend then we have been doing the last several weeks. We are going to go out there and try and win the race or get the best possible finish we can. But I'd be lying if I said we also weren't going to be paying attention to the competition. But we are not points racing just to get in - we are going to race hard and do what we've been doing all year. We get ourselves a good finish and we will lock ourselves into the Chase."
LOOKING BACK: Logano had an outstanding run at Atlanta, leading 78 laps before Kyle Busch passed him late in the race. Still, Logano has nothing to feel ashamed about for finishing second in the race.
ETC.: Logano has completed 96.9 percent (3,496) of the 3,606 total laps contested in nine career starts at Richmond. His average start is 14.1 and average finish is 17.3. He has one DNF there.
16 GREG BIFFLE, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Greg Biffle remained in ninth place in the standings for the second straight week after Atlanta. He trails points leader Jimmie Johnson by 110 points (down from 123 last week and 181 points three weeks ago), is two points behind eighth-ranked Joey Logano and leads 10th-ranked Kurt Busch by eight points.
RICHMOND RECORD: 22 career starts, 0 wins, 2 top-fives, 6 top-10s, 1 poles. Best career finish: Third in fall 2005. Finished ninth in this race last year and was a disappointing 36th in this year's spring race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Biffle knows he's on the bubble and anything can happen Saturday at Richmond. He's preparing for the best and hoping not for the worst: "I'm looking forward to Richmond, we ran well there in the spring and it's always been a pretty fair track for us. Looking to get into the Chase, we really need a top-15 finish, need to stay out of trouble and try to stay up front. We are really excited about making the Chase and making a run at the title."
LOOKING BACK: After a pair of back-to-back ninth-place finishes at Michigan and Bristol, Biffle slipped slightly to finish 15th at Atlanta.
ETC.: Biffle has completed 97.4 percent (8,579) of the 8,809 total laps contested in 22 career starts at Richmond. His average start is 18.7 and average finish is 17.2. He has one DNF there.
78 KURT BUSCH, Chevrolet
Team: Furniture Row Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Kurt Busch climbed back into the top-10 after a strong run at Atlanta, going from 12th to 10th. Busch trails points leader Jimmie Johnson by 118 points, is eight points behind ninth-ranked Greg Biffle and leads 11th-ranked Jeff Gordon by six points.
RICHMOND RECORD: 25 career starts, 1 wins, 4 top-fives, 8 top-10s and 0 poles. Best career finish: First in summer 2005. Finished 28th in this race last year and was ninth in this year's spring race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch and Furniture Row Racing are in position to make Chase history: being the first single-car team to ever make the Chase. Busch knows how much is at stake Saturday, but is ready to cast his lot and hope for the best: "We're in position to make history and that's pretty exciting for everyone associated with Furniture Row Racing. It's been our goal from the beginning of the year to make the Chase and we enter the final pre-Chase race controlling our own destiny. We need to get it done on our own Saturday night and not worry about what the other Chase contenders are doing."? LOOKING BACK: Busch had the highest-finishing Chevrolet at Atlanta, winding up a very strong fourth. In so doing, he moved back into Chase contention with one race left to go this Saturday at Richmond.
ETC.: Busch has completed 97.8 (9,786) of the 10,009 total laps contested in 25 career starts at Richmond. His average start is 20.0, while his average finish is 17.9. He has one DNF there.
24 JEFF GORDON, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 11th, only six points out of the top 10. Gained two spots last week.
RICHMOND RECORD: Has finished third and second respectively in the last two September events. Overall has two wins and 25 top-10 finishes including 16 top-five's in 41 starts.

Squamous cell carcinoma is a form of skin cancer. It is the second most common form of skin cancer.
The cancer develops in the uppermost layer of skin cells. Squamous cell carcinoma usually grows slowly. It is rarely fatal if treated early. However, the cancer can be lethal if it spreads beyond the skin.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The growths invade and take over nearby tissue. It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells but it is probably a combination of genetics and the environment.
Areas of skin that are damaged have a higher risk of cancer. Skin that is regularly exposed to the sun is most likely to develop skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma may also develop in skin that has scars, burns, or exposure to chemicals or radiation.
Factors that increase your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma include:
Symptoms include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The skin growth will be examined. A sample of the growth will be taken and examined for cancer cells. This will help determine the stage and type of the cancer. The information will be used to guide treatment and make a prognosis.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
For people who are not able to have surgery, other treatment options include:

I was concerned about this while working on the design, and originally actually had the elements even smaller than they are now on the shirt. I test-printed the design on a sheet of paper at 9 inches wide after finishing though, and everything is clear and visible, so I can't foresee any problems, even with women's and kids sizes Also, thanks again everyone for the comments and votes on this design!

Funny observation. Especially given that Cubism was technically the forerunner to the art movement that became known as abstract; therefore, Cubism as a whole qualifies as "almost abstract." Does that mean the artist was thinking outside the box?

Pastor's Column: Words from the Queen
(II Chronicles 9:8)We have just celebrated Independence Day—July 4. We live in an exceptional country; by that I mean that our country is unlike any other in history. Our Constitution places limits on the powers the federal government can have. Since the natural tendency of anyone in power is to grab for more and more control over others, our Founders wisely restricted this potential through separation of powers and the consent of the governed to yield power to the leaders in a limited fashion. Our Declaration of Independence states that we the people have certain unalienable rights (which cannot be taken from us), given to us by our Creator, not by government. No other nation has been blessed with the freedoms we enjoy, and which we, unfortunately, often take for granted.Have you ever noticed from Scripture that our nation's history in many ways parallels that of ancient Israel? Solomon had become king following his father David. The Queen of Sheba came to call on Solomon after his throne had become firmly established and Israel was at peace. She said in II Chronicles 9:8: "Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on his throne as king to rule for the Lord your God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them forever, he has made you king over them to maintain justice and righteousness." Let's examine this verse more closely: "Praise to the Lord your God…" God deserves all praise from us. "…who has delighted in you…" Do you realize that God is absolutely crazy about you? "…and placed you on his throne…" All power and authority belong to God. Government leaders serve as His agents in this world. "as king to rule for the Lord your God…" Solomon was made king to serve as God's representative in earthly matters. If only all human leaders (of any sort) would realize this and live accordingly! "Because of the love of your God for Israel…" Israel was God's chosen people to represent Him before other nations of the world, not because they were better or stronger than anyone else, but because He loved them! "…and his desire to uphold them forever…" How many times have the wicked of the earth attempted to wipe out Israel or Christ's church, only to fail? "…he has made you king…" It was no accident that Solomon had come to the throne at such a time. "to maintain justice and righteousness." As go the leaders, so goes the nation. Thank the Lord for the United States of America! We have a great work to do because we serve a great God.

Braves look to creep closer to Nats behind Harang
Washington, holding 3 1/2-game lead on Atlanta, counters with Roark
When the Braves added a right-handed veteran of 12 Major League seasons and more than 300 games to bolster their injury-riddled rotation late in Spring Training, this was the sort of game why.
Atlanta climbed within 3 1/2 games of first-place Washington in the National League East on Friday with a 7-6 win, and the Braves will send Aaron Harang to the mound opposite righty Tanner Roark in the middle game of the teams' three-game series.
The record doesn't show it, but Harang has been very good of late. He owns a 2.88 ERA in four starts since the All-Star break -- all Atlanta losses. Against the Padres on Sunday, Harang yielded two runs in six innings. It was the 17th time in 23 starts that Harang gave up no more than two earned runs while lasting at least six innings.
Harang will try to continue the Braves' improbable run against the Nats. Following Friday's win, they are 8-3 against Washington and 51-53 against everybody else.
"Every game counts within our division, and I think it's set up that way on purpose," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Eighteen to 19 games in the division. If you're ahead, you've got a chance to expand your lead, and if you're behind, you've got a chance to catch up by winning series against them. Is it the end of the world [if we lose this series]? No, but I would like to win it, start reeling it in a little bit. It's not impossible really."
Added Washington manager Matt Williams: "We want to play well and beat them so there's no ground to be made up and move on to the next series, but you have to play well to do that. They have had great success against the Nationals, so it's up to us to play good and beat them and see where we go from there."
Charged with attempting to reverse Washington's fortunes is Roark. He had been rolling -- tossing seven innings and allowing one run in four straight starts -- until getting touched up by the Orioles on Monday. He allowed five runs on seven hits (two homers) in 6 1/3 innings.
"I think he got some pitches up," Williams said about Roark afterward. "Then he hung a slider to [Delmon] Young. He was pretty good up until that point. The ball was up in the zone."
Roark has faced Atlanta twice this season. He allowed five runs in 4 2/3 frames on April 11 before bouncing back with a one-run, 5 1/3-inning effort on June 22.
Nationals: Outfielders Werth, Souza banged up
Friday started with Washington right fielder Jayson Werth getting a day off to manage his right ankle and right shoulder soreness, and just three innings into the game, his replacement in right, Steven Souza Jr., exited with left shoulder inflammation after banging into the right-field wall.
Kevin Frandsen replaced Souza and played left. Bryce Harper moved from left to right.
Werth's ailments, meanwhile, aren't considered anything too serious -- just the usual pains that come along with a long season.
"I think it's a combination of a lot of things," Williams said. "We'll get the guys to work on him. Hopefully, he'll be good to go for the next two and then we get another off-day [on Monday], so that will help him a lot."
Braves: Upton brothers set Major League record
When Justin Upton sent a two-run home run to straightaway center in the first inning and B.J. Upton followed suit with a two-run shot to left in the second, that did more than just give the Braves a sizable early lead. They set a Major League record by homering in the same game five times, which is more than any other brother combo in history.
"I think it's enough to say two brothers have been in the big leagues as long as we have, and getting the opportunity to play with each other is enough," B.J. said. "For us to be able to break a record, you can only dream about that."
Their effort Friday night broke a tie with Vladimir and Wilton Guerrer as well as Jason and Jeremy Giambi. The Uptons tied them on June 24 when they homered in the same game for the fourth time.
Justin's long ball helped him reach a personal milestone, too. It was his 20th of the season, giving him back-to-back 20-homer seasons for the first time in his career.
Worth noting
• The Braves are hoping to avoid placing shortstop Andrelton Simmons (left ankle) on the disabled list. He wore an air cast on his ankle and walked with a slight limp Friday afternoon, but reported improvement over his condition on Thursday.
• The four home runs Stephen Strasburg allowed Friday were a career high.

Fisher Family Hall
3200 California Street, San Francisco
Buddha saw death everywhere and never flinched from talking about it. His stories were full of people coming to him for one reason or another only to have him shake them from their complacency by telling them that they only had a short time to live so they had better use their precious human births to evolve toward enlightenment. Later on, the Buddhist scientific tradition developed a systematic understanding of the death, between-state, and rebirth process, and created techniques to help people navigate it successfully, with the help of their close relations and mentors—resulting in the famous
Book of Natural Liberation Through Learning in the Between
Tibetan Book of the Dead
). In this workshop, through guided imagery, meditation and discussion, we will explore how the Buddha and his "inner scientific" successors viewed death and why they were not depressed about it.

Greeley has selected three winners for its annual Environmental Stewardship Awards.
The University of Northern Colorado, the Greeley Public Works Department's Traffic Division, and the Greeley Water and Sewer Department's Wastewater Treatment Division were recognized at Tuesday's Greeley City Council meeting for protecting and enhancing local environmental quality.
» For more than a decade, UNC has been committed to resource protection with its campus recycling program. In 2012, the campus collected more than 180,000 pounds of paper, nearly 139,000 pounds of cardboard and more than 47,000 pounds of commingled containers. For more information on UNC's efforts, contact Steven Abbath at (970) 351-1975 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
» Recognizing that bikes are an important component of the local transportation system, the Greeley Public Works Department's Transportation Division recently launched a new website, www.greeleybikes.com, which provides information about bike trails, ways to stay safe, upcoming events and city contacts for information. The city has helped in the effort by providing on-street bike lanes and off-street trail systems. For more information on the Greeley Bikes program, contact Eric Bracke at (970) 350-9357 or email@example.com.
» The Water Pollution Control Facility started an energy self-sufficiency program in 2010 with a goal to reduce plant energy costs by at least 20 percent in five years. In 2012, the electric costs at the plant were reduced by $104,000 over 2011 — nearly a 20 percent reduction in one year. In addition, a 3-acre solar farm on the site, activated in December, allows the plant to purchase electric power at a lower rate. For more information, contact Tom Dingeman at (970) 350-9365 or email@example.com.
The Greeley Environmental Stewardship advisory committee is made up of Greeley residents, business representatives and city staff members. If you are interested in participating on the committee, contact Karen Scopel, natural resources manager, at (970) 350-9783 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Turns out a firm, warm handshake is more than a cordial power greeting. It's a vector for germs. In one recent experiment, handshakes transferred an average 124 million units of E.coli.
What to do?
In our handshake culture, a simple smile seems inadequate and standoffish; a waggly finger wave is odd; a brisk nod could easily be misinterpreted as rude. Touching elbows? Beyond awkward.
So consider the fist bump. Infectious disease experts advocate this charismatic ritual greeting because it spreads 1/20th the germs of a traditional handshake and is ten times as hygienic as a high-five, according to research recently published in the American Journal of Infection Control. Keep reading to learn why and see a cool science video on fist bumps featuring celebrities and cute animals.

Failed leadership blamed for VA conference spending scandal
Monday - 10/1/2012, 5:25pm EDT
Federal News Radio's Ruben Gomez interviews Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.)
Ruben Gomez, reporter, Federal News Radio
Two Veterans Affairs Department training conferences held last summer in Orlando, Fla., contained as much as $762,000 in wasteful spending and were plagued by poor planning and oversight, according to an inspector general report released Monday.
In the report, the IG said although the conferences were held for legitimate purposes, agency leadership "failed to provide proper oversight in the planning and execution" of the two conferences. Specifically, Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration John Sepulveda "abdicated his responsibilities" by failing to provide guidance to agency senior executives and taking a "hands-off approach."
The report also said Sepulveda knowingly made false statements to investigators surrounding what he knew about a video parodying the 1970 film Patton that was played at the conference and cost almost $50,000 to produce, according to the IG report.
Sepulveda initially "denied having any involvement" with the video and said he only became aware of it when it was played on the first day of the conference, according to the report.
However, several people testified that Sepulveda had viewed the video prior to the conference and signed off on it. The report stated the Justice Department declined to accept the matter for investigation.
Sepulveda resigned Sunday, a day before the release of the report, saying he didn't want to be a distraction to the Obama administration or to the department.
Along with Sepulveda, the report also faulted Alice Muellerweiss, dean of the VA Learning University, and Tonya Deanes, deputy assistant secretary for human resources management, for failing to provide proper oversight in conference planning.
The IG also said VA Chief of Staff John Gingrich failed to "make sufficient inquiries" regarding the cost of the conferences despite authorizing them.
Total cost of conferences exceeded VA estimates
The report's release caps a months-long review by the IG's office.
The final report puts the total price tag for the two human-resources conferences at about $6.1 million — well above the $5 million agency officials initially estimated.
However, the IG's report stated it could not "gain reasonable assurance that this figure represents a complete accounting for these conferences."
The report found the conferences were held "to fulfill valid training needs," which the agency had long maintained. "However, VA's processes and the oversight were too weak, ineffective, and in some instances, nonexistent," the report stated.
In total, the IG report pointed to $762,000 in spending deemed "unauthorized, unnecessary, and/or wasteful."
That includes:
- More than $280,698 in excess costs stemming from VA's contract with the
Orlando Marriott where the conferences were held.
- $49,516 for the production of the Patton parody video
- $97,906 for "unnecessary promotional items"
- $37,489 in "questionable travel-related expenses" for 169 VA employees who
arrived early or stayed late to the conference
- $43,018 in awards paid to members of the VA staff who planned the conferences. The IG said the spending was questionable "in light of the mismanagement and lack of professional care exercised in controlling and tracking conference-related costs."
The report also found 11 employees, who were responsible for managing the conferences, improperly accepted gifts from VA contractors, including meals, lodging and spa treatments.
Shinseki pledges 'immediate action'
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki "has taken immediate action" to "strengthen oversight, improve accountability, safeguard taxpayer dollars and help ensure such incidents do not occur again," VA said in a separate release.
Along with accepting Sepulveda's resignation, the agency will appoint senior officials to conduct a review of career employees accused of wrongdoing. So far, two of those employees have been placed on administrative leave, according to the VA statement.
"Beyond the individual ethical lapses, which cast all federal employees in a bad light, the management failures resulted in unnecessary costs and unauthorized commitments that diminished these legitimate training events," VA IG George Opfer said in a separate statement. "I trust this report will enhance VA's stewardship of public funds for future events."
The spotlight on agency conference spending has shone brighter since the revelation earlier this year that the General Services Administration spent more than $823,000 on a 2010 Las Vegas conference.
Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), said his committee is investigating more than 150 conferences hosted since 2005 where spending exceeded the GSA price tag.
Following the release of a preliminary IG earlier this summer, Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, pledged to hold hearings on VA's conference spending.
Miller told Federal News Radio Sepulveda's resignation represents a step in the right direction. But he's not putting full confidence in VA management.
"I believe as we dig deeper, we're going to find that others turned a blind eye and didn't think that this was such a big deal, when in fact it really is," he said.

Posted in Interface → ElementThis icon shows the iOS icon grid and a related grid being used not only to determine the size and location of the design element (ampersand), but to determine its proportions. All of the curves and lines used to construct the design element are aligned to the grids. In this particular example, some of the smaller curves are deliberately offset to give the design a less-than-perfect hand-drawn quality. This is an example from a soon-to-be released iBook called Icon Design which explains the geometry behind the iOS grid, and it shows designers how proportional grids can be used to embed the golden section and related ratios into any icon.
Chris HeathPosted in Interface → ElementA sleek, professional set of pricing table interface elements. It breaks features down into three different blocks, shows the difference between the plans, along with the price. Colourful, simple, and ready for you to experiment with!
Posted in Interface → Web AppA redesign of a logo for a personal injury attorney. I like the clean lines and the carefully chosen typographic elements. It's a solid modernisation of an old logo from the 80s!
