LEED Bashing: Government Study Finds "Equivalence" Between LEED and Green Globes
LEED/GBI/Promo image
Paula Melton recently wrote Green Globes Tops LEED in Federal Review, But Barely, in BuildingGreen and Greensource, describing how a new report suggests that "the Green Globes rating system aligns slightly better than LEED with federal requirements for new construction, while LEED remains the most compatible green building rating system for existing buildings."
The differences identified between the two systems are not marked, and the report acknowledges that apples-to-apples comparisons are difficult. The reviewers also claim the report "does not recommend a certification system," but repercussions remain to be seen; a similar report from 2006 was used to justify GSA's continued use of LEED.
That is perhaps the understatement of the year; The repercussions could be huge. No doubt Ward Hubbell and the gang at the Green Building Initiative (GBI), the group behind Green Globes, are celebrating, for they are that much closer to being declared an equivalent to LEED. But there are a couple of very fundamental differences between the two organizations.
Department of Energy/Public Domain
The purpose of the study was to assist the GSA " to develop the formal recommendation on how green building certification systems can be used to facilitate high performance in the Federal sector." The study looks at three different rating systems (The living building challenge was also included) but never looks behind the curtains. For instance, the report notes about GBI's organization:
Governance: GBI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. GBI has 53 Members and Supporters and 9 Industry Affiliates. In addition, GBI has over 10,000 "Friends of GBI," formerly known as Associate Members who receive the quarterly newsletter and other information from GBI. There is a Board of Directors, Executive Director, executive staff, and Industry Advisory Board. Decisions of the Industry Advisory Board are non-binding.
Hubbell Communications/Screen capture
The President of the Green Building Initiative, and founder, is Ward Hubbell. He is also President of Hubbell Communications, which has the motto: We understand how public policy and perceptions are created and we use the power of communications to shape both."
They proudly display their successes on their website, including a car manufacturer's association who had a "legislative problem in Oregon."-"In just a few days, we had a fresh coalition identity, a campaign website, and a strong social media presence."
With the Green Building Initiative, he has been at it for years. After his former gig as a PR exec at Lousiana Pacific, he got startup capital from the lumber industry for the purpose of establishing a green standard that did not give points to FSC certified lumber. In 2006, the The Forest and Paper Association told the Wall Street Journal that "Green Globes is much more wood-friendly than LEED".
But Ward didn't have to go far from Hubbell to run the GBI; they operate out of the same building.
Then there is the board of directors of the GBI. It includes a couple of residential tract and custom home builders, representatives of Dow Chemical, the Vinyl Institute, the Resilient Floor Covering Institute, Solvay, a chemical company, a communications director for Weyerhaeuser and a member of the SFI communications committee, Trane, a large air conditioning company, a former chairman of the Vinyl Promotion Network and others.
Members and supporters include big lumber, big chemical, our friends at the American Chemistry Council and more.
Two of the most contentious issues facing the green building industry are lumber certification and the safety of products made from PVC and vinyl. The Sustainable Forestry Initiative has done a tremendous job of attacking LEED, and convincing politicians that FSC is somehow foreign and unamerican; The Chemical industry has politicians writing letters to the GSA complaining that LEED will kill jobs. Now the GSA has a report in their hands that claims "the Green Globes rating system aligns slightly better than LEED with federal requirements for new construction."
Form 990/Public Domain
Perhaps. But the Green Building Initiative is perhaps a bit too friendly to SFI certified wood and to plastics. Its board is packed with representatives of those industries, The Form 990 submitted to the IRS pretty much declares that the whole operation is run by Ward Hubbell, a PR flack. It seems to me that you can be running a certification system, or a brilliantly successful PR exercise in astroturfing, or as Hubbell calls it, "Grassroots and Grasstops mobilization". I don't see how you can be both.
I am not going to go into the virtues or problems with LEED; it is certainly not without flaws. But there is no way in this world that the Green Building Initiative can be considered "comparable" to LEED. The former was set up to supplant the latter, and it looks like it might just pull it off. As I said in an earlier post, this may mean the end of consensus-based third party certification, the elevation to equivalence of industry-controlled or completely bogus certification systems, and general confusion all round.

A policeman was on Wednesday killed in a landmine blast triggered by Maoists in Giridh district of Jharkhand where nine per cent turnout was recorded in the initial hours of voting in the second phase of polls for 14 Assembly seats.
Maoists triggered the landmine at Teliabahiar in Jharkhand's Giridih district when policemen were on a foot patrol, Deputy Commissioner, Vandana Dadil, said.
The polling process in three assembly segments in Giridih district, however, was unaffected by the blast.
In a separate incident in Giridih, the Maoists blew up a culvert at Matiobera.
Long queues were witnessed in Khunti district while women outnumbered the men at Hutar, Kalamati and Dungra.
"We are voting for development, particularly electricity, drinking water and irrigation," one of the voters said.
Altogether 30,96,854 people are eligible to vote in Kodarma, Barhi, Mandu, Ramgarh, Gandey, Giridih, Dumri, Gomia, Tamar, Silli, Khijri, Mandar, Khunti and Pakur. Except Pakur, all other seats have Maoist presence.
Former ministers Bandhu Tirkey (Independent, Mandar), Chandraprakash Choudhary (Ajsu Party, Ramgarh) and Sudesh Mahato (Ajsu Party, Silli) are prominent among the 259 candidates whose electoral fate would be decided in this phase.
The five-stage polling in Jharkhand will conclude on December 18.

Rumored Nazi experiment of high and low vacuums on a baby to simulate the effects of high-altitude flying
Just so you know, your "rumored Nazi experiment" is actually a baby with something called "Harlequin Foetus Syndrome", a genetic skin disease where the skin is extremely tight and cracks where bent. It is almost always fatal and extremely rare; you can find out more about this just by Googling it. - "Sals"
Your "nazi experiment baby" on the weird picture archive does not have harlequin ichthyosis as the caption below suggests, but cloverleaf skull syndrome. (I'm sure the eyes and veins on the head confused them) - "AlienEeeter"

Parts were oem perfect. Company is number one on prices and customer service. Thanks partsgeek
I watched an on line video of the installation instructions and had no problems replacing my window regulator myself. The product and process was much easier than imagined and works just fine. But you do need to watch the video.
Ordered a window regulator for a 97 BMW 540I, received it in about 1 week... Saved about $300 compared to local parts dealer... Came with decent but not complete instructions.. Installed in about 2 hrs and it works great... Thanks PartsGeek, for saving me a bunch of money
I was a little concerned about fit and quality of this product since similar products are a LOT more, However this is a perfect match and looks identical to the OEM part. (BMW wanted $800+) And it works perfectly.
Fast shipping, quality parts, and no hassle. I will buy from parts geek again.
Part was delivered as promised and fit and works great....Price was right

I upgraded to the 80gb hard drive when buying my new macbook thinking it would give me enough room for all my files as well as allow me to use parallels or bootcamp, but it just isn't enough. I am now trying to find ways of removing things I don't need, one being garageband loops. I rarely use garageband so removing garageband loops would not effect me too much. I still use it occasonally so I would like to have them on a DVD that I could pop in and drag them onto my hard drive and then after my project, just delete them again. is this possible? if so, can I literally just drag the folder to a dvd and then delete them from the my hard drive without any problems when running the garageband?

You should probably get an external drive; you could actually get a faster drive than what you have inside your computer now. Check this link out for external drive loops.

Another vote for an external drive. I bought a 320GB External Firewire drive for $140 in a store(!) which is faster than my internal 100GB 5200rpm drive on my MacBook. I have all my samples on the external drive and use Logic with multiple tracks... it's incredibly fast.
Make sure you get a Firewire drive, not a USB one. |

As Daylight Ends - KSE
It's brutal and just all round killer. I expected nothing less from these guys - it reminds me a lot of End of Heartache. Nothing new but who cares - IT DESTROYS!
I DL'd it last night - will go out and buy the album when it hits the shelves here though (do the right thing kids!). Howard Jones is one of the best modern voices in metal going around. Didn't there used to an 80s pop singer from the UK called Howard Jones??? Can't wait to see these guys live next week now.

Ahem, As Daylight Dies.
I've only heard the title track & For You so far, & as usual KSE delivers. This might not be much of a departure from The End Of Heartache, but yeah who cares when KSE are so damn good at what they do. They're by far the best metalcore band in the world. \m/ So yeah I'm not gonna download it, this is a shoo-in so I'll just buy it on the release date.

The new album is slower (a bit) and its practically End of Heartache part 2. Nothing new at all but still a great album. 48 hours to go now before I see them live with Lamb of God.
Can't wait!

Though my problem is that regardless of what proxy I use, I cant connect out. If I "remove" the proxy, everything works fine, but not with it. I believe the problem has something to do with the "no_proxy" definition. Anyone have any idea of what Im doing wrong? Thanks in advance Edited by footpad, ~Sun Nov 25 04:28:22 2001 (GMT)

Proverbs 5pts 2005-06 Tundras (not the giant Doublecab of that vintage, which is full-size) are still gems in the truck world. Right size, impressive power, excellent handling.
Stew 5pts Still love the right-sized first gen Tundra. It had a nice style, good numbers for the time, and a size that gave it it's own niche. Now it is just an uncompetitive eyesore that is really not competitive in any way.
Black Dynamite 5pts The main problem was the interior, and they scored there, so Toyota will reach it's more modest sales numbers. Toyota owners won't head anywhere when they need a big truck.....BD
lasvegascolonel 5pts Apparently, ride and handling have been improved as well. It's made Toyota fans even happier.
Stew 5pts @Black Dynamite Unfortunately is still lacks in the the updates it needed most ya know, powertrain, fuel mileage, and a decent frame. It will never see 150k units in a single year, the beyond sorry FE numbers alone guarantee that.
Monsterized 5pts What Tundra has needed to be competitive with the rest of its category is a kind of one-word answer: Diesel.-Mönst-
Black Dynamite 5pts @Monsterized That would make sense.....if you could get a Ford or Chevy light-duty diesel, but you can't, so.......what?BD
lasvegascolonel 5pts Though I've only had GM full-sized trucks myself, the new 2014 Tundra scores well with initial reviews and Motor Trend's sister magazine, Truck Trend. Owners who report their findings to Consumer Reports rate its reliability higher than Ford, GM, or Ram, but slightly lower than Titan. The only negative I've heard about this truck is something called "bed bounce". I don't know if Toyota addressed that issue with the 2014 or not.
MoparMuscle56 5pts @lasvegascolonel It's funny how the order of consumer reports went, because it's the exact opposite of reality. Who came up with that list over there, bizzaro superman?

You are responding to the following review:
Submitted: 08-16-2004 by JR Stone
I have had an Ellesmere for 2 seasons and love it. I was attracted to it because it is a fast boat and yet very stable. At 50 I'm not into racing but want the exercise and fun of kayaking. The Elle stays level on top of the waves, leans easy to carve a turn, and she rolls beautifully. I was concerned before I paddled her over long distances that the pommel seat would cause problems with my Sciatica but my legs aren't resting on the front of the seat and I have no complaints about the comfort of the boat. I have read about another buyer's problem with the skeg on this site. I don't usually put it down unless I'm pulling to hard on one side of the boat while paddling. I'm still trying to get the forward stroke completed correctly. When I do use it I'm already out in the water and always pull it up before I near the shore. Michigan is one big sand pile and I just check the skeg before and after paddling to ensure it's clear of debris. I feel absolutely in control whether I'm paddling in a river, inland lake, or Great Lake. It is the perfect boat for me.* All you need to do is submit the form above and an email message will be sent to the owner of the ad you are enquiring about.

You know when there is music playing just barely out of earshot but you can still hear faint bits and pieces and you think 'oh it's that song... no wait no it's not...wait yes it is...' and you listen for cues to verify or deny that it is that song and sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't and sometimes you just never find out? I'm there.

I hope he digs into some of his Minor Threat thoughts and lectures against drugs. I can't tolerate anything associated with that product scumbag distribution channel.

I saw him speak at Iowa State in January '02. Some kid asked him when the new Fugazi album was coming out. Ian laughed and told him it had already come out months ago. The whole crowd laughed at the kid. It was great.

Wow, hopefully I can go. Cave In, Narrows and Trap Them are all playing the same day, though. :

I was there last time, and I will be there this time! The stuff he talked about was very interesting and awesome. I even got to meet him afterwards, that was amazing. Ian is pretty much my hero! I'm super excited.

spacecraft to be destroyed in ground tests, most tests are performed on components or on assemblies of components. Items tested can range from isolated fuel tanks and wiring harnesses to multicomponent assemblies including insulation materials and structural members (Christiansen, 1990; Christiansen and Ortega, 1990; Whitney, 1993; Schneider and Stilp, 1993). Although it is economically infeasible to test all components against all possible combinations of debris impact conditions, critical components can be evaluated with nominal impacts, and analytic or numerical techniques can then be used to extrapolate these results to other types of collisions.
Hypervelocity impact tests are also used to test and design debris shields. As with component testing, it is economically infeasible to test all possible shield configurations against all possible impact conditions, so a mixture of experimental testing, analytic methods, and numerical methods is used. Because the debris threat is not well enough known to "optimize" debris shielding against any particular type of impactor, shield designers develop shields to protect spacecraft against a wide range of impactor sizes, shapes, and velocities without greatly increasing the spacecraft's mass.
Finally, impact tests can be performed to examine the creation of fragmentation debris from breakups caused by hypervelocity collisions in space. This type of debris creation may play an important role in the evolution of the future debris population (as discussed in Chapter 8), but as mentioned in Chapter 2, only a few such tests have been performed to date. Such tests can be expensive, but since current data are very limited, a few well-planned and instrumented tests could add considerably to our knowledge of collision products and provide the basis for better estimates of the future debris population. Again, analytic and numerical methods can be used to extrapolate the limited test data to a wider range of possible situations.
The mass and velocity regimes required of an impactor in a hypervelocity test vary depending on the objective of the test. Obviously, the closer the tests come to matching real impactors' velocities, masses, materials, and shapes, the more accurate and useful the information acquired will be. For tests to determine the amount of debris created by a collision-induced breakup of a space object, it is necessary to use impactors large enough to fragment the target completely. For tests of spacecraft components and damage mitigation techniques, it is usually only necessary to use impactors that might feasibly be shielded against. The impactors used in such tests can range from millimeter to centimeter size, with masses ranging from much less than a gram up to several grams. Impactor shape must also be considered; since many potential debris impactors are fragments from rocket body or spacecraft explosions, the geometry of

Thread: Upgrade from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0.3
04-28-2014, 08:39 AM #1Upgrade from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.0.3
I have a Sprint iPhone 4s on iOS 6.1.3, I just got a rSim 9pro in order to upgrade & unlock my phone, but have been tested only on 7.0.x, I download the ipsw 7.0.3. But every time I tried to restore my phone with iTunes I get severals errors. I did my research before post this thread and the problem is something about apple signatures.
I don't know if there any other way to upgrade my phone to a non 7.1.x version.

Best Speed in which gear?
Hello everyone.
I'm not sure if this post belongs here so I apologize if I've posted to the wrong forum. I don't think this post belongs in "High Performance Driving" I'm just curious what is the most optimal driving speed for which gear I should be in for a BMW 135i, giving me the best balance of fuel economy while not being so high that it could be dangerous if I need a lot of power quickly. With my old Supra, I found that the engine was most happy when you had the revs between 2000 and 2500 RPM, anything less and it would start getting grumpy and not provide any power at all. Anything more and I'd just appear to be a ricer with a mental problem. I've noticed that my 135i is considerably more punchy, driving more like a V8 than a turbo 6, so I can keep the revs lower. What I've observed so far keeps the revs about 2000 RPM in that gear, but I've found that this car seems to be happy even when the revs are as low as 1500 RPM, except for when I'm above fourth gear: 1st gear : Around 10 km/h, good for parking lots, but leave this gear asap. 2nd gear : 30 km/h, good for school zones 3rd gear : 50 km/h, typical city cruising 4th gear : 65 km/h, Normal low speed artery driving 5th gear : 80 km/h, For medium speed artery driving 6th gear : 90 km/h and higher, highway driving Opinions? I've only been driving stick on an off for about two years and I'm used to an automatic doing all the shifting for me. I just don't want to put myself into an awkward spot by being in a gear which is too high for the speed that I'm driving at. Thanks! |

Exaggeration is to paint a snake and add legs.
Fail to steal the chicken while it ate up your bait grain.
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Falling hurts least those who fly low.
Far waters cannot quench near fires.
Far-fetched and dear-bought is good for ladies.
Farewell and be hanged; friends must part!
Fight a wolf with a flex stalk.
Fight fire with fire.
Flowers leave a part of their fragrance in the hands that bestow them.
Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them.
Flowing water never goes bad; our door hubs never gather termites.
For the sake of one good action, a hundred evil ones should be forgotten.
Forethought is easy, repentance hard.
Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
Forget the favors you have given; remember those received.
Fortune and flowers do not last forever.
Four horses cannot overtake the tongue.
Four things come not back: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity.
Friend, do not try to borrow combs from shaven monks.
From the lowly perspective of a dog's eyes, everyone looks short.
Garden flowers larger, field flowers stronger.
Garlands are not for every brow.
Get the coffin ready and watch the man mend.
Girls marry to please parents, widows to please themselves.

text: Maybe this should be called the "Car Audio myths debunked" page. There's a lot of ridiculous claims 'out there' on the market.

Hopefully I can supply some laymen understanding of some car audio terms and explain the meanings of specifications in the back of the stereo and amplifier manuals. Unfortunately, this page kind of turned into geek-speak, so you will have to just read what you want to know about. |

Archaic safety measures followed in banks
Amritsar, September 28 This correspondent visited branches of several nationalised and private banks at random and found that CCTV cameras were missing from many of them. In many branches, CCTVs were not operating since they were out of order. A concerned citizen, Surjit Sharma, said it seemed that the authorities were waiting for the crime to occur for waking up to fill the gaps and lapses for beefing up the security of banks. He said mock drills for thwarting any robbery attempt were unheard of while an in-house foolproof mechanism in banks were invariably sought after. He said keeping in view opening of more and more bank branches on the outskirts of the city for expansion, it was pertinent to put in place strict security mechanism to ward off any robbery attempt. Chief Lead District Manager R.S. Chattha said the issue was discussed in the quarterly district-level security committee meeting held under the chairmanship of A.S Chahal, Deputy Commissioner of Police, at Police Line recently. Chattha said the district police had made it mandatory to install CCTV cameras in all branches of the banks and also at ATMs. He added that the banks would follow the instructions regarding data of risk classification of each bank branch in the district, status of
posting of armed guards in all branches and availability of security gadgets. He said their requests for security arrangements at currency chests in the risk prone areas and providing night patrolling at banks and ATMs had been agreed upon. With regard to quality of guards manning banks, he said in banks majority of the guards were absorbed from ex-servicemen, while at ATMs private guards were hired since deploying own staff was economically not viable. |
Making Golden Temple surroundings pollution free
Amritsar, September 28 The report was sought by a high-level team of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) which had visited the holy shrine in January 2008. The CPCB team has likely to visit in the mid of October again. Earlier, it was to arrive on September 18 but the visit was postponed due to some unavoidable circumstances. Except the police, all other departments have failed to submit any report though we have pursued the matter with the concerned departments, said A.K. Kalsi, Senior Engineer, PPCB here. PPCB had conducted a preliminary study to save the Golden Temple from the ill-effects of rising pollution in its vicinity. The board, which has been monitoring environment around the Golden Temple, had found high levels of harmful nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide in the ambient air. The experts had also cautioned that fireworks release these gases which could react with the marble leading to its corrosion and blackening. Miniature paintings and gold plating were also under threat from harmful gases, experts added. The PPCB recommended to the Punjab Government to ban burning of fuel other than LPG to save the Golden Temple. The team members had also suggested using low-intensity crackers and fireworks during Gurpurb or Bandi Chhor Divas (Diwali) besides stressing on restricting the vehicular traffic in the 500-metre surroundings of the shrine. Kalsi said the police in its report had given a draft plan for controlling the vehicular traffic while the board was still waiting reports from other departments. We will pursue these departments to submit their reports so that it could be discussed in the forthcoming meeting and necessary steps could
be taken (to make golden temple area free from pollutants), he added.
Deputy Commissioner Kahan Singh Pannu feigned ignorance about the seeking of a report by the CPCB. However, he added the administration had already taken many steps to check the pollution in and around the Harimandir Sahib including ban of use of coal or kerosene oil by goldsmiths, dhabas and hotels. The administration had handed over new LPG connections to goldsmiths for running their workshops in Guru Bazaar area, he added. The data collected by the board had revealed that every goldsmith, dhaba and hotel owner used 15 kg to 25 kg of coal or up to 50 litres of diesel or kerosene a day, depending upon the workload and availability of electricity. |
Promoting Punjabiat, the rap way
Amritsar, September 28 Satpreet is a student in the Government Dental College, Amritsar, and Harkirat is studying Masters in Computer Applications. Recently, they were centre of attraction during the Sony TV programme Entertainment Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi Karega. They enthralled the audience as well as judges --- music director Anu Malik and cricketer-turned-MP Navjot Singh Sidhu with their musical rhymes. Their act enabled them to earn a standing ovation from the audience and judges after clearing the round of full on show. Anu Malik lauded their performance and even offered to involve them in his next composition. The idea they conceptualised was different this time. Anchor Mona was projected as a girl, whom they both love, Anu Malik was included in the rap as his arrogant father and Sidhu was predicted as the supporter of the boys. The rap goes like Ek raat mainu aya supna, supne wich mainu mili Mona
.Anu ik tenu request, munde apan best dane aaye asi test.. Sidhu we need
your help
saanu khali na.. tu modi
.na tu dil saada todi
After the rap rhymes, the judges did not break their heart and awarded them with cash award of Rs 11,112. Earlier, Satpreet also performed in He Khalsa competition --- Spiritual and General Ability (SAGA), organised by Kesh Sambhal Prachal Sansthan at New Delhi. Their composition which won many accolades was Punjabian Di Tohr, Sade Warga Na Hor, Meri Gal Te Karo Gour, Sade Dil Ch Hai Sikhi, Talwar Wango Tikhi
Asi Guru De Sipahi, Beda Sada Paar, Sade Khalse Lai, Sadi Jaan Kurbaan
. He won the competition defeating 12 shortlisted candidates out of total 2,000 participants. We have adopted Sikhi Saroop to catch the attention of youth towards supporting turban. It is pity that the young generation is ignorant about our rich Sikh traditions and culture. It is our own way of promoting Sikhism. |
Historic Gandhi Ground languishes in a ramshackle existence
Amritsar, September 28 Though the ground hosted many international and class one cricket tournaments, its construction is yet to be completed. At several points, steps are missing while the existing ones are in a ramshackle state. The steps meant for spectators seating have grass growing underneath them. Thankfully, the playing ground seems to be in a good condition as the pitch is surrounded by lush green grass. However, the spectators galleries can be seen littered with refuse, polythene bags and other waste, which apparently belies the claims of the authorities for providing hygienic atmosphere to budding players. At several places, concrete stairs are broken and grass has grown in-between. The commentary box and scoreboard are in a bad shape. Interestingly, the camera stand and spectators gallery have no approaches. An insider from the Amritsar Games Association (AGA), which looks after the ground, on the condition of anonymity, said both of them had been lying incomplete for over a decade or more. He said the AGA had to abandon the construction midway when the development funds exhausted. Significantly, many portions around the ground still lie vacant where staircases are yet to be constructed. If completed, it would increase the present capacity of the stadium to 40,000. Meanwhile, the announcement of installation of floodlights to conduct day-night matches on the ground made last year is yet to see light of the day. History
Established in 1932 with a generous donation from Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala and the then Punjab Government, the ground is spread on 22 acres. Subsequently, Guru Nanak Stadium, badminton hall, AGA Club, Cosmo Club, Virsa Vihar and others were formed out of it. The cricket stadium now stands on nine acres. The first notable match was played between India XI and MCC in 1933. The Indian cricket team was led by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, while other famous players were Lala Amarnath, Col C.K. Naidu and Surjit Singh Majithia. The cricket ground has hosted several international matches, including those against West Indies, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and England. The Indian cricket team had played against Sri Lanka in 1983. The North Zone cricket team had played against West Indies in 1984. India versus World XI and India versus New Zealand were played in 1995. OfficialSpeak
AGA honorary secretary Mohit Khanna said five private companies had evinced interest after the tenders for installing floodlights were floated. He said that as soon as funds were released, the incomplete portions of the stadium would be constructed on priority. |
2 girls rescued from clutches of woman running flesh trade
Amritsar, September 28 According to information, father of a victim girl lodged a complaint with the police that the accused kidnapped the two girls when they were alone in the house. He said he along with his wife had gone to Fateh Singh Colony for some domestic work and had left his daughter and her friend in the house. He said when they returned they found the house locked and later came to know the both had gone with Renu. A case under section 366 A of the IPC has been registered at Civil Line police station in this regard.
North Zone Plastic Surgeons conference concludes
Amritsar, September 28 Dr Ravi Mahajan, President of the North Zone Association of Plastic Surgeons, pointed out that the role of plastic surgeons was much bigger in nowadays and it is not limited only to cosmetic surgeries for beautification purposes. A plastic surgeon has a bigger role in trauma cases, accidents, reconstructing and fixing the body organs chopped during fatal mishaps, burn injuries and also in Cancer cases where a body suffering with cancer has to be cut out to save the precious life of a patient, said Dr Mahajan. At present there are just two training centres in Punjab - Christian Medical College and Dayanand Medical College, both in Ludhiana and one at PGI Chandigarh while in total the number is pegged at five in north
zone of the country that include Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh
and Rajasthan. The state government should start M.Ch courses in plastic surgery in its government medical institution so that the dearth of plastic surgeons could be met, said Dr Mahajan. It is pertinent to mention here that at present there are approximately 1,500 plastic surgeons in the country. Meanwhile, a number of famous plastic surgeons participating in the annual conference shared their experience with other counterparts with the help of video conferencing. During the programme, Dr Adit Agarwal from Medicity, Gurgaon, Dr Ramesh Sharma from PGI, Chandigarh, and Dr Ebrahim Thomas, Director CMC, Ludhiana answered the queries of their colleagues on various aspects of plastic surgery. Dr Punit Pasreecha informed about treatment of deformed and chopped nose. Dr Shiv Chauhan and Dr Adit Agarwal detailed about role of cosmetic surgery in removing the skin stains and beautifying the face with plastic surgery. Dr Lalit Makhija told about the treating the burn injuries with latest techniques while Dr Yograj Handu informed about the restructuring and treating the deformity of face. |
Pure Water
In Durgiana Temple
Amritsar, September 28 Committee president Satpal Mahajan said the plant would cost about Rs 1.3 crore and would start operating by the year end. Committee spokesperson Harish Taneja said in all six pumps, including two stand-by, were put up. He said the plant, with purifying capacity of six lakh litre per hour, would offer hygienic water to the devotees utilising water of the pool for various purposes. He said it would take nearly eight days for the plant to purify the pool. He said quotations from across the country were invited. Five companies based at Chennai, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Delhi and Chandigarh were shortlisted and out of them Chandigarh firm was given the task. The water treatment plant can consume 75 kw power and would run for 12 hours at a stretch. Ramesh Sharma, financial secretary of the DMC, has been made the project in charge. The temple, built in 1925, resembles the Golden Temple in architecture. It rises from the midst of a tank and has canopies and the central dome in the style of a Gurdwara. Its foundation stone was laid by one of the greatest reformers and political leaders of resurgent India, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. Taneja talking about ongoing gold-plating work said third outer wall of Garbha Graha was being covered. He informed that 10 kg of gold has already been used and would require three kgs more to finish. Earlier, 50 kg gold was used for gold plating of the two outer walls. After its finish, only rear wall would be left to be gol plated. About 12 accomplished artisans are working regularly to carve out images of Hindu deities on gold foils. The technique being followed is affixing brass plate on copper sheet and upon it at least 12 gold foils were pasted with the help of
liquid mercury. He said al these works were funded by the DMC with generous donation from devotees. Gold plating was
formally launched on June 6, 2006, coinciding with the foundation day of
the temple. |

Retailers plan agitation against govt policies
Amritsar, September 28 He was here to participate in a meeting of the Retail Karyana Merchant Association. Association president Buta Ram pointed out that in order to stem the
problem of adulteration the health authorities should take samples from producers, wholesalers and
distributors instead of retailers. Quoting data, he said the Health Department conducted
maximum raids on retail shops which meant that it was taking samples only for completing formalities rather than taking the necessary steps for ending
the problem. |

McIlroy claims Deutsche Bank trophyBy Doug Ferguson ,AP September 5, 2012, 12:09 am TWN NORTON, Massachusetts -- In a Labor Day finish filled with some of golf's biggest names, Rory McIlroy sent his stock soaring in the Deutsche Bank Championship.
McIlroy overcame a three-shot deficit Monday in five holes, and then overcame a few mistakes on the final two holes to close with a 4-under 67 and escape with a one-shot victory over Louis Oosthuizen. McIlroy joined Tiger Woods as the only three-time winners on the PGA Tour this year, and with one of his wins being the PGA Championship, that might be enough for his peers to vote him player of the year. He also finally built a comfortable gap at No. 1 in the world. Oosthuizen had a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force a playoff, only it slid by on the right side for a 71. Woods made an early charge to get back in the hunt, though he never got closer than three shots until a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th gave him a 66. He finished in third place, two shots behind, and earned enough money to become the first player to surpass US$100 million in PGA Tour earnings. Phil Mickelson also had a 66 and tied for fourth, along with Dustin Johnson, who had a 70 and likely played his way onto the Ryder Cup team. Brandt Snedeker made a strong case for a captain's pick with a 65-67 weekend to finish sixth. Davis Love III will announce his four picks Tuesday morning in New York. McIlroy didn't make it easy on himself. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland had a three-shot lead with six holes to play, and only a clutch bogey putt on the 17th hole kept him from losing all of his lead.

Post-Cleveland thoughts
That first offensive play to Mike Wallace off of play-action was a message to the Browns: "What happened last year isn't going to happen again this time around."
© After a while, I started to feel a little bad for Colt McCoy in this game.
I wonder why McCoy's dad didn't call somebody on the Cleveland sidelines and tell them he wasn't going back out there?
For those of you who don't remember, that's what McCoy's dad did last year in his final game at Texas.
© I would have loved to have been in Baltimore when they kept showing the Steelers-Browns score.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he and the players would be keeping an eye on the scoreboard Sunday.
I can only imagine the reaction as the the scoreboard showed 14-0 at about 1:10 p.m.
© I think the Steelers like where they're at right now.
Though Pittsburgh is the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs, they will be about the last team that everyone talks about heading into the postseason.
New England will get a lot of hype and rightfully so. But Baltimore, Indianpolis, the Jets and even the Chiefs will be sexier stories.
The national media will forget all about the most recent AFC team to win a Super Bowl.
© I like the way the offensive line is protecting in front of Ben Roethlisberger right now.
Roethlisberger was not sacked on Sunday and did pretty much whatever he wanted to in the pocket.
© My Marvin Lewis-to-Pitt tip on this blog well over a month ago is starting to get some legs again.
A bigger surprise is this. Word has it that Tom Bradley is so fed up with things in State College that he would leave Penn State to come to Pittsburgh as Lewis' defensive coordinator.
© Here's the final fallout on who the Steelers will play in 2011 – assuming there is a season:
Home: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Tennessee, New England, Arizona and St. Louis
Away: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, San Francisco and Seattle.
That's six playoff opponents - including Baltimore twice – with four of those games coming on the road.
Of course, the Steelers were 7-1 on the road this season.

Watching the offense evolve under BA, scratch that, watching Bruce Ariens evolve as an offenses coordinator is one of the best pleasure's I am enjoying about this Drive For 7. Ben was virtually untouched today. That kind of play calling will result in a win every time. And Mr. Kugler deserves just as much credit.
What else can you say about Troy? every adjective has already been used.
Does Timmons have a nickname yet?
And thank God for Coach Tomlin! - 12:22 AM
ron, it is great to finally see ba get a clue with the play calling. about time they started letting wallace run something beside the deep route
pouncey had no business being in the game second half.
seeing heath plow that dude ten yards straight back was nice. especially considering we thought he was paralalized a few weeks ago after we saw that hit.
wallace did just fine filling in for holmes this season, sanders looks like he will be just fine next year too.
fouts is an excellent announcer - 12:30 AM
How about that complete game we've been calling for? The boys looked sharp in all facets of the game. That's a well coached, motivated team at it's best. If we can manage to score 25 or so points per in the playoffs I don't see why we can't win 7 this year. It was good to see some consistency from the offense. Not only in the play calling, but the execution.
- Dale Lolley said...
Tomlin calls Timmons Law Dog. Has since his rookie year.
Dale, I thought I saw Foote, in for Timmons, after Timmons blew the second of 2 easy tackles for loss by grabbing for the head and shoulders instead of wrapping up. Or was I seeing things?
Otherwise, agree the Steelers played a complete game on both offense and defense. The OL has looked much better recently, but perhaps that's a result of them playing together as unit for about a month now, too.
Gotta give my unsung hero award to Flozell Adams. No one was too thrilled or excited when he was signed, but he's gotten the job done very well all year at RT. - 7:17 AM
missed the game because I was travelling home from the Winter Classic
How did Troy look? do u think he will be 100% the next game?
will Aaron Smith play next game? - 8:42 AM
Great game Ben and (yes, it's true) Brucie! Here's to putting up 20-plus in the playoffs!
It's hard to see how we could lose more then 4 games with that schedule next year.
I've complained about Bruce Arians here in the past - so just want to say he deserves all the kudos for calling a great game. The addition of the quick-hitters to our speedster WRs kept the pressure off Ben and may be the wrinkle that makes the difference going forward.
Red zone play calling was also spot on (i.e., not trying to force it in from 10 yards out and adding Legursky as a lead blocker). - 11:27 AM
The more I watch Mendenhall run the more I think we need to address the running back position in the upcoming draft. This guy is looking very ordinary as the season goes on.
- Dale Lolley said...
Remember the offensive line he's running behind when you are critical of Mendenhall. Still, the 3.7 yards per carry he averaged in the second half is not great.
But that was also when Starks went down.
Yes, they are cautiously optimistic that Aaron Smith will be back. But Ziggy Hood has played his best football over the past month. - 12:12 PM
- Homegrown Misanthropist said...
I agree about Ziggy Hood, he just keeps getting better with every game. I am really optimistic about the DL after watching him the last month. He will be a very good replacement for Aaron Smith after he retires. I do not agree about Mendenhall, he caught a couple of good screen passes and pounded his way on a couple of runs which seemed to be for losses. I wasn't able to see Dwyer run because CBS switched to the KC-OAK game.
- marc said...
mendy is fine and he does very well on the swing passes.
the OL is protecting better, but keep in mind the browns couldn't sack their grandma if they wanted to.
the play calling was nice, but once again, take into consideration who they were playing.
the steelers beat up on a team they should beat up on. it won't be all roses in 2 weeks against a good playoff team, whoever that may be.
the OL must improve their run blocking for the playoffs. - 12:58 PM
Mendenhall appears to avoid contact as much as possible. From running out of bounds to that grievous spin move. He just needs to lower his head and bowl some dudes over like Heath did with that cornerback.
who do you think the Steelers will draft with the 32nd pick in April?
I have to give some credit to Everest and the STs. They made sure Cribbs did not hurt them in the return game even if it meant sacrificing a bit of field position.
Mendenhall is fine. The run game is something you have to keep after with many short runs often coming before the back breaking one comes (see Atl OT win). With BR back at qb, Arians doesn't feel the need to just keep pounding the ball.
I like BR's play the past few games. He's becoming less of a sandlot qb and a more polished pro.
Agree that Sanders and Brown are adding more and more to the passing game.
This is the time of year when teams want to be playing their best football and it looks like the Steelers are doing just that. - 1:47 PM
I was miffed at first when I saw Mendy run out of bounds after that long run.. but remember: The game is already in hand, so why risk getting an injury to an important player in that situation? Let him run out of bounds and avoid some contact to keep him fresher for whoever we face in the playoffs.
Don't you remember Jerome Bettis told Willie Parker to avoid the unnecessary hits to prolong his career? Battering rams don't last long.
FYI, the Steelers game is set for Saturday at 4:30 on January 14th
It's actually the 15th.

With each revelation, or court decision, on US torture in Iraq, Afghanistan and Gitmo—or the airing this month of The Tillman Story and Lawrence Wright's My Trip to Al-Qaeda—I am reminded of the chilling story of Alyssa Peterson, who died seven years ago this week. Appalled when ordered to take part in interrogations that, no doubt, involved what most would call torture, she refused, then killed herself a few days later, on September 15, 2003.

Thomas Cole,
Scene from Last of the Mohicans":
Cora Kneeling at the Feet of Tamenund
Note that the scene--Cora kneeling--is dwarfed by the landscape.
Juttings of rocks—see Thoreau's description of Ktaadn.
Tiny ring of people is dwarfed by the the angular rocks. Cora's helplessness is put into perspective by this vision of the relative insignificance of man in nature.

Automotive emissions in urban areas: traffic management and technological control measures
Sbayti, H., El-Fadel, M., Kaysi, I. and Baaj, H. (2001) Automotive emissions in urban areas: traffic management and technological control measures. Environmental Engineering Science, 18, (6), 347-358. (doi:10.1089/109287501753359582).
Full text not available from this repository.
Urbanization in developing countries is causing an increase in roadside air pollution, which is associated with adverse environmental impacts. Such impacts are most prevalent in densely overpopulated urban centers, creating the need for mitigation strategies. In developed countries, traffic and environmental policy planners are relying on stringent regulations, advanced tailpipe emission-reduction technologies, and complex traffic control measures (such as high-occupancy vehicles restricted lanes, bus-dedicated lanes, park-and-ride facilities, dynamic traffic light signalization, and hot-spot management) to mitigate excess automotive emissions. In contrast, developing countries may require only conventional or traditional traffic control measures (such as truck rerouting, car pooling, and promoting mass transit) along with affordable simple technological solutions to reduce automotive emissions to acceptable levels, at least in the short term, because of differences in traffic fleet characteristics and transportation infrastructure extensiveness. The present research aims at integrating a traffic model (EMME/2) and an emission model (MOBILE5B) to simulate the emission inventory in the future central business district of Beirut city. The modeling effort will serve as a decision support tool for environmental/transportation policy planners to manage traffic-related air pollution problems. Simulation results showed that, with a proper set of policies and fiscal incentives, simple control measures can reduce total emissions by 45–85% depending on the alternative selected.

Jesus I'm a sucker; I Every single time I thought that Maybe every way I'd learned
Wish I believed less of the lies
Did anything I thought I knew
Turn out to be true?
Baby boys and little toys are all that I see anymore
Will somebody close the door?
It's cold outside
I had figured it all out
I was run aground again and
Floundering with crazy doubt
To deal with the tragedy
Was just another junkyard find
Rust-eaten and raggedy

Flowers of Evil
As mentioned, Brandon from Crocodiles will be DJing tonight at Baby's All Right as part of Kanine Records' holiday party which is free with RSVP. Brandon will also be playing at Baby's tonight too as part of Flowers of Evil which also features members of A Place To Bury Strangers, SISU, and Young Boys. Despite the makeup of the band being all from groups you could get away with calling JAMC-esque, Crocs says Flowers of Evil are "probably not what you'd expect it to be." They're the final band of the evening, preceded by Beverly, Public Access TV and Jamaica Queens. DJs (which include Kip from TPOBPAH, Lio from Kanine, and me) start at 7 PM and bands begin at 8 PM.
Crocodiles, meanwhile, will say farewell to the soon-to-close Glasslands on Sunday (12/14) with Cassie Ramone, Birds of Maya offshoot Spacin' and Brandon's wife Dee Dee of Dum Dum Girls on DJ duty. Tickets for that are still available.
And lastly, Charles from Crocodiles and WARTIME gives us his Top 10 of 2014, which is a list of shows he saw. Check that out below...

Cop Problem (photo via Bora Chung)
Two crust/D-beat bands -- Philly's Cop Problem and Baltimore's Old Lines (featuring Mitch Roemer of Pulling Teeth and Ruiner) -- are going on tours this year and crossing paths for a few shows together along the way. One of those dates happens at Brooklyn punk venue Acheron on December 7. Advance tickets for that show are not on sale at the moment, but you can check Ticketfly for updates. All dates are listed below.
Cop Problem just announced that they'll release the followup to their 2012 EP with a new one, Buried Beneath White Noise, on October 24 (it's being self-released digitally and will be out later in the year on 7" vinyl via The Compound). The EP was produced by Philly's go-to punk producer Will Yip, who's worked with Paint It Black, Title Fight, and just put out a compilation with a bunch of the bands he's recorded. Much like last year's release, the EP's first single, "American Spring" is punishing riffy d-beat, and thanks to singer Deb Cohen's vocals, it's actually kinda catchy. You can listen to that over at Pitchfork. Check out the EP artwork, tracklist, and the video for "Monuments" from their 2012 EP, below.
Old Lines are also releasing a new 7", If You See Something, Say Something, on October 22 via Reptilian Records (pg.99), which follows their late 2012 EP. Unlike Cop Problem, who have a melodic side, Old Lines are pretty much in brutal, growly attack mode the whole time, as you can hear on the EP's new single, "Stratford." You can stream that, along with the artwork and tracklist, below.
Old Lines' dates include a release show in their hometown as part of U+N Fest (10/18 - 10/19) which also includes Pissed Jeans, Roomrunner, Ex-Cult, Hunters, Jaill, Ed Schrader's Music Beat and more.
All dates are listed, along with all streams and more, below...

Wilco / Guided By Voices
"Wilco never makes the second record twice, which makes it doubly remarkable that so many of them are tremendous. As formidable as frontman Jeff Tweedy's catalog is, the sonically inventive rock band really stands out on stage -- the place where extreme technical skill meets the chemistry and rousing showmanship of passionate rock veterans. Of course, it helps that the group has the luxury of drawing highlights from seven very different records when it performs. To see Wilco on stage is to hear the best of the best."Listen to Wilco's entire 2-hour Memorial Day Sasquatch set at NPR (listen to GbV's there too). Wilco's entire setlist is listed below.
And with this post, our 2011 Sasquatch basically concludes. Previous posts contain The Decembersts, Noah and the Whale, Rebecca Gates, Day 3 pictures, Archers of Loaf, Day 2 pictures, and more Day 2 pics with Day 1 too. The rest of the pictures from Day 4, below...
Big names and regulars aside, there are a few bands I want to highlight on the just-announced Sasquatch lineup: Wolf Parade ("indefinite hiatus" rumors be damned), The Flaming Lips (performing "The Soft Bulletin"), Death From Above 1979 (now three reunion shows total), Guided By Voices (they're not done yet), and... Archers of Loaf (!). The full lineup of the fest that goes down in Gorge, Washington in May (Memorial Day Weekend), is below...

Obits will release their new LP Moody, Standard and Poor via Sub Pop on March 29th. Listen to a track from that record above and check out the full tracklist and cover art below.
Meanwhile the band will be priming that release with a gang of dates across the country. They're currently down south for another week with Gentleman Jesse and His Men, and will get on the road again in early March for some dates with their labelmate Jaill. That second run terminates in Dallas on March 15th (SXSW anyone?). The band will then make it home in time to play a record release show at The Bell House on April 2nd with The Sundelles and Tijuana Panthers. Tickets are on sale.
Speaking of Sub Pop, the band that Michael Cera is sometimes in, Mister Heavenly, will be in NYC this Sunday (1/16). Michael Cera may not be there though, but his bandmates Nick Diamonds (Islands/Unicorns), Honus Honus (Man Man) and Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse) definitely will be.
All Obits dates and some videos below.

Before too much more time passes, here is the conclusion of Rachel's week (with the end of day four and all of day five), and assorted pictures from four other shows all rolled into one big post.

Milwaukee's Jaill are touring and will be in town for the CMJ Music Marathon, playing The Studio at Webster Hall on Thursday, October 21 with Keepaway, French Horn Rebellion, Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr and Viernes. They'll also play Popgun's unofficial party at Glasslands on Saturday, October 23 that also features Baths, Dominant Legs, Teen Daze, Porcelain Raft, Mon Khmer. The Glasslands show is only $5 if you RSVP.
Sub Pop doesn't have a CMJ showcase this year or else they'd probably be playing that too. Sub Pop sister label Hardly Art has a show though (but Jaill aren't playing it).
Jaill's second album, That's How We Burn, came out on Sub Pop over the summer and didn't get a whole lot of attention, but is a nice little platter of melodic indie rock. Their sound is a little surfy, like if The Hoodoo Gurus had come into existence in the '90s instead of the '80s. You can download two tracks from That's How We Burn at the top of this post. They were good when I saw them at the Sub Pop SXSW showcase this year.
Somewhat interesting trivia: This is the second band signed to Sub Pop that is pronounced "jail." The first was Jale, who were part of the mid-'90s Halifax, NS scene that also spawned Sloan and Thrush Hermit.
The video for "The Stroller" and all Jaill tour dates are below.
