So there goes Gov. Tryon's New York mansion burning to the ground in December of 1773. Governor and Lady Tryon have exited through a door onto ramparts; people are running around and shouting in deep banks of snow outside, watching helplessly and wringing their hands, because all the best literature always has everyone wringing their hands.
Inside, Patty Hatch, the housekeeper, was tracking the source of the fire and, perceiving that it was already out of control, turned to seeing that everyone got out safely. After seeing that the governor's daughter, little Margaret, had already been safely removed by her lady's maid, Ann Patterson, Patty led out a bevy of housemaids.
Sadly, poor Bette, a housemaid whom Patty last saw pulling a petticoat over her head, was overcome by smoke. Her body was found after the fire.
And as to little Margaret —well, she wasn't quite so safe after all.
Ann Patterson gave her deposition to New York Mayor Whitehead Hicks, who as we noted last week, had a very queer name.
Queer names were the norm in that day. We all remember, for instance, Ichabod Crane, who was a secret agent under Gen. Washington, hired to fight the devil and the apocalyptic Four Horsemen who… No, wait. That's a television show.
We can't be sure of Margaret's relationship with her parents. It was a time when well-to-do people tended to keep a "seen and not heard" attitude with children. Oftentimes children of that day visited their parents more than lived with them — even though they lived in the same house.
Gov. Tryon wrote occasionally about Margaret in his official correspondence, and I've always gotten the feeling he doted on her and admired her. The only things I've read about her relationship with her mother struck me as cold. A Williamsburg woman, Lady Ann, complaining of the child's unhappy plight during a party, wrote: "They have a little Girl with them that is equally to be pitied, this poor thing is stuck up in a Chair all day long with a Coller on, nor dare she even to taste Tea, fruit Cake, or any little Triffle offer'd her by ye Company." The woman described Mrs. Tryon as controlling and physically cowardly.
Of course, what we don't know is what kind of person Lady Ann was. Did she pity or was she catty? Did we have a gentlewoman shocked at the behavior of another, or did we have an alpha female, riled by the attention given to another, bleeding invective at every pen stroke?
But we digress. We brilliantly digress, but we digress nonetheless.
Like most of the staff, William Tryon had taken Ann Patterson with him from New Bern. She is described as "Mrs. Tryon's woman," but it seems her actual duty was that of nanny and teacher to their young daughter. She dressed her, entertained her, schooled her and slept in a bed in her room.
Ann had just gone to bed a little before 11 when she heard a window thrown open. She heard the governor asking what was going on and hearing the response: "A chimney fire!"
Ann quickly dashed out of bed and hauled Margaret, who was 12 at the time, out of hers. Bundling her in her arms, she rushed down the servants' stairs and into the dining room, which was apparently on the second floor.
"As they were going down, she saw a great smoke rushing up the stairs and saw the Governor and Mrs. Tryon going out the garden door," her deposition reads.
Smoke was billowing about the room, so Ann put Margaret down and opened a window, hoping to clear the smoke while she dashed into Mrs. Tryon's room. Mrs. Tryon kept jewels in there, after all, and Ann wanted to rescue them if she could.
They were locked up, though, and no doubt Patty Hatch had the key. She possibly stood there wondering what to do when she heard Gov. Tryon outside, shouting in desperation for someone to save his child.
Oh yeah,she possibly thought, or to put it in the vernacular of the day, Ah! Verily, theremy responsibility does lie!
Running into the room, where Margaret was "running about the room in great distress" (don't you just love understatement?). I'm imagining the scene: Ann stands in the doorway and sees a little girl dashing about, wide-eyed and screaming, her little hands waving about. If it is a comedy, a bit of smoke is trailing from her hair; if it is an adventure, the floor will open up, Ann will leap through burning timbers, and some good-looking dude will crash through the wall in a Mustang Saleen.
But this is real life and, apparently, Ann Patterson is dotty. So she ignores the freaked-out child and goes to have a look out the window. The people below start yelling for her to jump (a famous tradition for future New Yorkers regarding people on high buildings).
By now they are trapped, so Ann grabs Margaret and hurls her out the window where she lands in a deep snow bank. Then she makes the leap herself.
It was remarkable that only one person died. Tryon's losses were total. He drew up a careful inventory of his losses, right down to the books in his library, and he was awarded £6,000 by the government to replace things.
It is from that list that the rebuilders of New Bern's Tryon Palace were able to build a replica of his library and many other things.

3/20/14 Lindsay's List
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, March 20, 2014
"In Touch Weekly" revealed a few more of the names on LINDSAY LOHAN'S list of her 36 famous conquests. The new ones are Ashton Kutcher, Orlando Bloom, Ryan Phillippe and Benicio Del Toro. Pro hockey player Aaron Voros is also on there.
PAMELA ANDERSON chopped off her hair and she wasn't sure she made the right choice when she first cut it . . . quote, "I thought I looked like Anderson Cooper or like a Q-tip or something." But now she feels "powerful". She also says dating rock stars became "very destructive" and made her feel like a cartoon character. And she says her teen sons know about her sex tape, but she doesn't know if they've seen it.
OPRAH WINFREY'S next step in world domination: Tea. Oprah is teaming up with Starbucks to release her own tea. It's called Teavana Oprah Chai Tea, and you'll be able to get it starting on April 29th at both Starbucks and the company's newly-acquired tea shops, Teavana.
CHARLIE SHEEN showed up at a "career day" thing at his daughters' elementary school, and talked to the kids about being a TV actor. It's unclear if Charlie played it casual, or if he got all fired up and ranted to the class about "Winning!" and living with goddesses.
Paul Walker's mother filed court documents asking for guardianship of Paul's 15-year-old daughter, because her mom has a drinking problem. Cheryl Walker claims that Meadow and her mom are already living with her, but the girl's mother can't care for her daughter because of her alcoholism. The woman has 2 DUIs, and the girl reportedly lived with Paul before he died because of her mom's alcohol issues.
3/19/14 Justin Bieber's Excuse
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
MICK JAGGER paid tribute to L'WREN SCOTT in a Facebook post by saying, quote, "I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way . . . I will never forget her." Meanwhile, the ROLLING STONES have postponed their entire Australian tour.
JUSTIN BIEBER has a FANTASTIC excuse for being unable to walk in a straight line following his DUI arrest in January: His foot was messed up. According to newly released court documents, Justin told the cops that he was unstable during his sobriety test, because he had a hairline fracture in his right foot from a skateboarding accident three months earlier. It's unclear if Justin's fracture was also responsible for his LEAD FOOT on the Lamborghini's gas pedal. --The documents also say Justin was a punk . . . once again . . . while talking to the arresting officer. Justin told him, quote, "I'm 19 years old. I'm just out having a good time." The cop replied that HE wasn't driving around in a Lambo at that age . . . to which Justin responded, quote, "Yeah, well, I bet you didn't have millions of dollars in your bank account either."
A man claims to have a sex tape of Kris Jenner and he's trying to get money from her. The man approached Kris over a week ago claiming to be in possession of a sex tape starring Kris. He said he wanted money or he was going to release the video. Sources say the man has called Jenner more than one hundred times in the last seven days from more than 100 different phone numbers. The sources say she's afraid the man is watching her and the family has stepped up security since.
3/18/14 L'wren Scott Suicide
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, March 18, 2014
Designer L'WREN SCOTT was found dead in her apartment yesterday morning of an apparent suicide. She'd been dating MICK JAGGER for at least a decade. Mick is in Australia, and hasn't commented directly . . . but his rep says, quote, "He's completely shocked and devastated." As for WHY she may have committed suicide, friends say there were "no signs of depression" . . . but Britain's "Daily Mail" says it could've had to do with MONEY. Supposedly, her company was nearly $6 million in the red, and she owed her creditors another $7.6 million.
We now know why CHRIS BROWN was booted from rehab on Friday. TMZ claims he broke three of the facility's rules, including: "Stay at least two feet away from the women." He reportedly touched a woman's elbows and hands. He also refused a drug test, and mocked rehab during a group session.
Has the missing Malaysia Airlines plane been located . . . by COURTNEY LOVE? Probably not. But Courtney Tweeted out a photo of some oil slicks on a body of water, with a blurry image that she suggests could be the plane or a piece of the wreckage. It's unclear where she got the picture.
3/17/14 Chris Brown in Jail
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, March 17, 2014
CHRIS BROWN was arrested on Friday, after being kicked out of rehab for allegedly breaking some rules at the clinic. Brown had been in rehab for four months. It's not clear what he was being treated for. His arrest was apparently for a violation of the probation he's been on since attacking RIHANNA five years ago. But again, the specifics aren't clear. Last we heard, Brown was being held without bail in Los Angeles.
Miley Cyrus got a new tattoo of a "sad kitty"--on her inner lip. She Instagrammed a pic of the tat, with the caption: "#sadkitty." Meanwhile, a male friend posted a photo of Miley in which she puts what appears to be weed into cigarette paper while in a recording studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her friend captioned the image: "Yup...... Recordin with Miley... High as (blank)..."
Charlie Sheen has increased child support to his ex-wife Brooke Mueller. Sources say the Charlie increased the monthly payment from $20,000 to $55,000 because Mueller has been letting him see the twin boys more. But, in true Charlie Sheen form, he is going to ask a judge to cut the $55,000 he gives Denise Richards each month for their two daughters.
Angelina Jolie is going to have more preventative cancer surgery. Angie underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery last year after being told that she had an 87% chance of developing breast cancer. She now says there's still another surgery to have. That surgery is believed to be to prevent ovarian cancer which her mom died of.
3/14/14 More Lohan Drama
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, March 14, 2014
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is auctioning off chances for someone to fly to Los Angeles, hang out with him for a day and crush stuff in his TANK. All the proceeds benefit the children's charity After-School All-Stars.
JASON BATEMAN has two daughters, and he has no problem unleashing his FILTHY POTTY MOUTH in front of one of them. He tells "GQ", quote, "I tend to use as many [curse words] as I can think of. I don't do it around my 7-year-old, but I do around my 2-year-old, because she doesn't know what the hell I'm saying yet."
Michael Lohan and his girlfriend, Kate Major, had another fight-- and this one ended with her in handcuffs for DUI. Lohan claims they were in an argument at their Florida home when she hit him multiple times in the face. He then called 911 and as cops arrived, Kate was fleeing in her car. She crashed into some bushes near the house, though, and was busted for allegedly driving intoxicated. She was reportedly still in custody and getting booked for DUI and possibly domestic battery.
The owner of a Johnny Carson sex tape filmed in the '70s is trying to the sell the tape but he's not going to make it easy for anyone. According to TMZ, the guy's lawyer has set rules for prospective buyers interested in owning the tape. First, he'll be holding a viewing party and prospective buyers must make a blind bid for a chance to view the video and their bid must be deposited into an escrow account. Then, the winning bidder must sign a document agreeing not to sell it commercially. If he or she breaks the agreement, there will be a large financial penalty.

After hip replacement surgery, Barbara Daughety could only think about getting back on the basketball court.
"Lady, I have never been asked by a 76-year-old woman when she can play ball again," Daughety said her doctor, Scott Stegbaugh, told her after the January surgery.
Daughety has played in the 2013 National Senior Games basketball — with one year of softball — since 2003 and has loved every moment. She, along with four other Kinston senior citizens, play out of Greenville and have made it to National Senior Games competition each year.
Her team made it to the nationals in Cleveland, Ohio, in July, less than six months after her injury.
"I'm very blessed to be able to be back on the court," said Daughety, a 5-foot-10 former then-Contentnea HighSchool center. She played all four years before graduating in 1954.
In January, she and her teammates were practicing at Alice Keene Park in Greenville.Daughety said she got too far ahead of herself during suicide drills.
"We got to doing it so fast and my feet got tangled up," she said. "Next thing I know, I'm on the floor."
She broke her hip on Jan. 28 and had surgery on the 29th. Both her son and daughter were leery about her getting back on the court, although she healed soundly.
"I got along so good," Daughety said. "You would not believe it. Right now, if I didn't know, I couldn't tell which hip it was."
Her injury moved her to a lower-age team, so she didn't play with the women she was used to playing with the last 10 years while in Ohio.
However, her hip didn't at all bother her during the nationals run.
Senior Games and Injury
She and the 65-and-up team out of Greenville/Pitt County travelled to Cleveland for the games that ran from July 19 through Thursday. They faced off with the best senior basketball teams from around the country during the three-on-three tournament, but they were knocked off in the first round.
While Daughety felt she would have advanced further if she was playing with her 75-and-up team, she said it was still enjoyable to be active.
"It really is encouraging," she said of the Senior Games. "They have the same aches and pains, but they don't lie on the couch; they get out and do something."
The Senior Games features a variety of sports.
"When I went there, I saw these women getting gold medals that were in their 90s for swimming," Daughety said. "They were on canes. They couldn't hardly walk — but they could swim."
She said her participation over the years taught her not to give up because of old age.
"You just keep going," she said. "It's just wonderful to walk around and see people who are in their old age, but they can still do something."
Daughety's two adult children play tennis and probably couldn't guard her on a basketball court, admittedly.
"I love it," said Bruce Daughety, Barbara's son. "It's an inspiration for me. I hope I can do it as long as she can."
Hubert Quinerly, Kinston High School girls' basketball coach, said athletes, of all ages, rely heavily on their lower bodies, and any injury could tremendously affect that.
"The fact that you can … come back and play in a meaningful game, it speaks to her testimony," Quinerly said of Barbara Daughety. "If someone who is 76 can do it, kids 15 and up can do it with no problem."
Daughety said on top of being healthy, players must be extremely competitive to go up against some of the ladies they meet at nationals.
"It's kind of rough," she said while laughing. "There were some nice ladies. When they knock you down, they help you get up. To be competitive, you have to have several good players that you can run in and out, and we didn't really have that. We've got a few that are really good."
The Greenville/Pitt County team was out in the first round, so Daughety is looking forward to getting back with her 75-and-upteam to claim a nationals trip in 2015. It will be hosted in Minneapolis, Minn., and Daughety already wears the gold 2015 band around her wrist.
"I never dreamed years ago that at this stage, I could still play and be travelling," she said.
The Game of Basketball
Daughety began her basketball career as a freshmanat Contentnea High. She said she would score nearly 50 points a game under a much different clock-management system in the 1950s.
She and both her sisters love the game. One, Linda Burke, plays with a Raleigh Senior Games team, while the other, Dot Lang, was part of a Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame-inducted team at North Lenoir. Langstill holds the record for all-time leading scorer at the school.
"My family is basketball," Daughety said. "All of them are Carolina (fans) except me. I'm a die-hard Wolfpack fan, everybody in Kinston that knows me knows how I love the Wolfpack."
When she graduated from high school, scholarships weren't offered to women, but she was recruited by the Federal Bureau of Investigationto play basketball for a year in Washington, D.C.
She had a boyfriend back home who influenced her to come back to Kinston — and they were later married.
Her marriage to Orville Daughety lasted 56 years until his death in 2011, and Bruce Daughety took over his father's car dealership on Queen Street.
"That year, I didn't play any basketball because he was so sick," Barbara Daughety said. "I stayed with my husband, and I didn't regret a day of that. He passed away, and I started back playing.
"(Basketball) has filled a void for me, you know."
She said ladies tried to recruit her for a Senior Games team years before she started in 2003, and it was one practice that got her "hooked."
Daughety said she often sports a T-shirt with an inspirational slogan scripted across the back: "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."
She doesn't plan on hanging up her ball and jersey any time soon.
"I really believe that you stay young as long as you stay active," Daughety said.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vzknkw/global_wcms) has announced the addition of the "Global WCMS Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The WCMS market to grow at a CAGR of 12.78 percent over the period 2013-2018.
The growth of the Global WCMS market is driven by many factors, and one such major driver is the need to improve customer engagement. A WCMS not only manages digital content but also enhances the digital experiences of customers. To achieve this, vendors are enhancing solutions to help marketers expand their engagement with customers across multiple digital channels.
The emergence of SaaS-based WCMS solutions enables companies to increase their efficiency and reduce the cost of deploying valuable IT infrastructures. However, many companies are still analyzing the feasibility and relevance of cloud computing solutions in their IT operations. The SaaS-based model for a WCMS offers pay-per-use with a one-time software set-up fee for maintenance, upgrades, and lifetime support. Many vendors in the market are beginning to offer solutions through the SaaS-based model to expand their services and to enter the new markets. In addition, web-based solutions are becoming increasingly popular, as they enable businesses to securely store, access, and maintain digital records more easily.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the need to analyze published content on the web so that there is no inappropriate content, and a consistent tone is maintained.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Theism, and its various expressions in different religions, is basically a belief that something more powerful is watching out over you. Associated with that is the idea that this powerful something will somehow care for and perhaps guide you, as well as sometimes punishing you. Obviously, the original paradigm for that belief is the parent-child relationship that almost all of us have had.
Some 80%+ percent of adult human beings will express the belief in some unseen god. That clearly suggests that theism is a common, even quite normal belief. Little kids usually consider their parents omnipotent and omniscient, which they are from a small child's viewpoint. Somewhere during the course of human development, children gradually come to realize their parents are not all-powerful or all-knowing, that they make mistakes, are inconsistent and even pain inducing. That slow realization shifts the burden of responsibility gradually to the children, which can be a very anxiety-inducing weight. Some few children grow into adulthood accepting that weight, but by far the most shift some or all of that weight onto some unseen god. Most of the time people who are adult theists remain that way throughout their lives, and adult atheists usually also remain non-believers.
Apart from the parent-child paradigm which we all experience in one form or another, the usual four major variables are at play in associating with that dependency -sustaining but comforting theism: genetics, conditioning, social environment and immediate external stimuli. "Choice" is not one of those major variables, and even later in life it plays a modest role at best. Theism is non-rational, more than irrational; it is not neurotic nor psychotic, it has about the same status as a knee-jerk reflex or fear of falling, both quite common human conditions.
Rational, intellectual arguments against theism usually have about the same effect as arguing against reflexes or vertebrate phobias: little to none. These arguments, elegant as they are, are orthogonal to the basic causes of theism, and they are largely futile. This not to say reflexes and basic phobias cannot be modified over time, but only slowly and with repeated experiences.
Maybe what appears to be a basic human "need" to posit some overseeing god as a replacement for fallible parents, and as a means of avoiding the fear of having to face an indifferent universe alone with all of the sense of inadequacy we have in so doing, can be assuaged with replacement beliefs. That replacement is what happens sometimes with fanatics who endorse and subscribe themselves to some political ideologies; they're replacing the comfort of theism with the comfort of that non-theistic ideology.
What we have not developed, apart from some political ideologies (Fascism and Communism come to mind as examples) are more rational and less destructive beliefs. Science is an admirable discipline; it does not, however, offer much comfort to the great mass of the human race. Advocates on this forum such as the "Champion" of course offers with his beliefs solace, but he is motivated more by (1) the need to control and dominate others, and (2) some solace for himself, since absent his beliefs, he would have to face the unacceptable alternative that he is otherwise a rather pathetic and inconsequential human being who can demand no particular attention. Articulate advocates of science and rationalism, such as Salt Creek here, do not obviously seek to control others, but they do not offer solace to themselves or others either.
I do not have an answer here. I do suggest that we need as rationalists to take into account what seems to be a common and quite powerful need for almost all people to have some sense of the universe they inhabit that speaks to the frightened, gibbering ape in all of us. Sarcastically attacking the idiocy of religion is certainly satisfying and fun. We get various strokes of "atta boy" for doing so from our peers. It is also I suggest fairly useless in changing the behavior of those whom we're attacking.
One of my "heroes" was Carl Sagan. At least as a person, he exemplified an ideal as a rationalist, without being an attacking, sarcastic and angry person who dealt with others in a condescending manner. I've also looked at the visible physical images of planets, stars and galaxies, realized the incredible distances and times involved, and felt awed. Maybe diminished, but "diminished" not in the sense of somehow of no significance. I did not thereby have any sense of needing to posit some vast sentience that oversaw the whole thing. Ah, but I wander off thread.
My point, if I have such a point, is that the challenge to rationalists is how to deal with a quite normal and common human need to feel significant? What kind of a world view can be developed and articulated that speaks to some of the human emotional needs of all of us, without being condescending, demeaning, and condemning of those basic human needs?
Religions speak to some of those basic needs, science does not do so as well. Can we as a species come to perhaps blend the more objective realities of science, with the non-pathological needs of most people to somehow "find their place" in the universe as we perceive it?
If all we do here on this forum is attack religion, then in my mind we fail. A much more demanding and daunting goal is to begin to derive some basis of a worldview that includes what we call science and rationalism, and also includes those basic emotional human needs we all have to have some sense of significance in our quite brief existence.

Another company has been added to the Leaping Bunny certification scheme, giving compassionate shoppers even more choice: The Konjac Sponge Company. The brand produces a range of plant-based sponges, made from 100% vegetable fibre, and with options enriched with French clay and bamboo charcoal. The sponges aim to exfoliate and cleanse the skin, without the use of additional soaps or cleansers. They are 100% natural and biodegradable, and can be composted once finished with. The sponges are all vegan and are free from artificial additives. A smaller size is also available for babies, or for use as a make-up sponge!
Michele Riley, the company director, told us, "As a green and ethical company selling a natural range of skin care products, we felt it important to show that we have deep morals, and are truly committed to animal rights and cruelty prevention.
For us the ethics of natural and cruelty free go hand in glove, and we would never ever consider selling a product that has been through an animal testing process. Of course, we in the office know this, but to get that message across to our customers, the certification and international Leaping Bunny recognition means we can shout our beliefs and values out to the world, with one simple and effective image.
We are so proud to be carrying the Leaping Bunny symbol, it means so much to us, and we know it makes a big difference to our customers too. The Leaping Bunny speaks volumes, and has people listening. Thank goodness for organisations like Cruelty Free International!"

Appetite suppressants
These drugs decrease appetite or increase the feeling of being full, the NIDDK says. They do this by increasing one or more chemicals in the brain that affect mood and appetite. Phentermine (Fastin, Adipex-P, Pro-Fast and other brand names) and sibutramine (Meridia) are the most commonly prescribed appetite-suppressants. Other appetite suppressants are diethylpropion (Tenuate) and phendimetrazine (Bontril, Plegine and other brand names).
Side effects of phentermine, phendimetrazine, and diethylpropion can include sleeplessness, nervousness and euphoria. These drugs may aggravate existing heart disease, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid gland or glaucoma. People with these conditions should not take these medications.
Sibutramine can be used for up to two years. Side effects of sibutramine include an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. These are usually small increases, but people with high blood pressure, heart disease, irregular heartbeat or history of stroke should not take sibutramine. All people taking it should have their blood pressure checked regularly.
(Amphetamines also suppress appetite, but because of the potential for abuse and dependence, they are NOT recommended as weight-loss drugs.)

The 22-acre Fairchild Semiconductor Corp. facility (former South San Jose Plant or Site) is located west of Highway 101 about nine miles southeast of downtown San Jose near the intersection of Monterey Highway and Highway 85. The Site is located in a light industrial and commercial area. The plant was constructed between 1975 and 1977 and used for electronics and semiconductor fabrication from 1977 to 1983. Solvents containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs; primarily 1,1,1-TCA) were used at the Site. Other chemicals, such as acids, were also used and stored at the Site. The Site was vacant from 1983 until it was redeveloped and reoccupied in 2000. Fairchild's parent company, Schlumberger Technology Corporation (STC), sold Fairchild to National Semiconductor Corporation in 1987 and sold the Site property to a commercial developer in 1990. The Site was redeveloped to retail shopping (commercial) by parties other than STC in 2000. STC has remained the responsible party for Site cleanup.
Initial investigations were conducted in November/December 1981 and determined that compounds of concern (COCs) were in soil and groundwater at the Site. The investigation identified a single source: a 5,940-gallon underground waste storage tank. The COCs included 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (Freon 113), 1,1,1-TCA, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, tetrachloroethene, xylenes, and 1,1-DCE, which is a degradation product of 1,1,1-TCA.
In 1981, samples from Great Oaks Water Company drinking water supply well GO-13, located down-gradient from the Site, contained 1,1,1-TCA. 1,1,1-TCA was one of the COCs detected in soil and groundwater near the underground tank at the Site. Well GO-13 was taken out of service in December 1981 and used for remediation until it was sealed in October 1986.
Remedial action at the Site began in 1982 with the removal of the underground waste storage tank and associated piping. Additional facilities that were removed in 1982 included an acid waste tank, concrete holding vault, concrete slab beneath the former waste solvent tank, and a temporary waste solvent tank. After removal of the underground waste storage tank in 1982, about 3,400 cubic yards of soil were excavated from the vicinity of the tank to a total depth of 52 feet below grade. Groundwater extraction at the Site was also initiated in 1982 to control migration of COCs.
In 1986, Fairchild constructed a slurry cut-off wall around the Site to a maximum depth of 148 feet to create a physical barrier to prevent off-property migration. Groundwater extraction and treatment (GWET) continued inside and down-gradient from the slurry wall enclosure until 1998 and 1991, respectively. Soil excavation and construction of the slurry wall were complete and the GWET system and groundwater monitoring program were implemented by the time the Final Site Cleanup Requirements Order (SCR) was adopted in 1989.
As indicated above, groundwater remediation began at the Site in 1982. Fairchild identified and closed all supply wells in the area that were impacted by COCs. With concurrence from the Regional Water Board, Fairchild suspended groundwater extraction and treatment in July 1998 after demonstrating that asymptotic VOC concentrations and other conditions had been reached. During operation of the GWET system between 1982 and 1998, a total of 93,285 pounds of VOCs were removed from groundwater.
A soil vapor extraction and treatment (SVET) system was operated at the Site in 1989 and 1990 to treat and remove COCs in air pores located in soil above groundwater. The SVET was removed in 1995 with Regional Water Board approval when Fairchild demonstrated that soil cleanup standards established in the SCR had been achieved. A total of 15,906 pounds of VOCs were removed by SVET.
In total, approximately 147,000 pounds of VOCs were removed from the Site through soil excavation, groundwater extraction, and soil vapor extraction. In 1998, the Regional Board approved suspension of active remediation at the Site. Fairchild has continued monitoring of on-Site and off-Site groundwater and of the slurry cut-off wall since 1998 and provided annual reports to the Regional Water Board.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Soil and Sludges
COCs in soil and groundwater were discovered in 1981. The potential threat of direct contact with contaminated soil has been eliminated through initial actions. All private supply wells located in the area surrounding the site have been sealed or abandoned. The plume of groundwater containing COCs has been significantly reduced through extraction, treatment, and natural attenuation, and the potential health threat posed by ingesting groundwater contaminants continues to decrease. In 2009, the Regional Water Board and EPA evaluated the potential for COCs migrating through vapor intrusion (VI) into surface uses at the Site. The evaluation found no unacceptable risk of VI. At the request of the Regional Water Board and EPA, Fairchild re-evaluated the potential VI risks in 2014. Fairchild's evaluation concluded that residual COCs in groundwater do not present a health risk to on-Site or off-Site buildings from VI. EPA and the Regional Water Board are currently reviewing Fairchild's conclusions regarding the VI pathway.
Who is Involved
This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
Initial Actions
Initial Actions: Fairchild implemented several initial cleanup actions that have decreased the extent and magnitude of groundwater contamination in the area. In 1981, a leaking underground tank was removed. In 1982, approximately 3,400 cubic yards of contaminated soils were removed to a depth of 52 feet. Between 1982 and 1998, on- and off-Site groundwater extraction wells operated to control the migration of groundwater COCs and remove COC mass. Between 1982 and 1986, pre-existing supply wells that were potential pathways for COC migration to deeper groundwater were sealed. A slurry wall was built around the perimeter of the Site in 1986 to prevent off-Site migration of COCs.
Cleanup Ongoing
Entire Site: Between 1982 and the issuance of the Final Site Cleanup Requirements Order (SCR) in 1989, the potentially responsible party had investigated the nature and extent of COCs at the Site, and commenced initial cleanup actions described above. The following cleanup remedies were selected in the SCR: treating on-Site soil using a vapor extraction process; continued pumping on-Site shallow groundwater and off-Site groundwater and treating it using air stripping and carbon adsorption, followed by on-Site reinjection of the treated groundwater; pumping deep groundwater from off-Site wells, followed by air stripping and discharging to surface water using storm drains, or reuse of the treated groundwater for road construction and irrigation; conducting laboratory and field studies to determine the effectiveness of biodegradation on on-Site chemicals; implementing deed restrictions to limit groundwater and land use; and monitoring groundwater. Groundwater monitoring and the deed restrictions remain active. The other cleanup remedies have ceased with Regional Water Board approval or are complete.
In response to a Unilateral Order from the State, Fairchild is taking action to contain and reduce the contaminated groundwater plume.
Cleanup Results to Date
Construction of all cleanup remedies has been complete since 1992. The removal and treatment of soil, the closure of private wells, the operation of the groundwater treatment system, and the installation of the slurry wall have reduced the potential for exposure to hazardous substances at the Site. Natural attenuation has also reduced concentrations of COCs in groundwater over time. Of the seven Site COCs, only 1,1-DCE (a degradation product of an original solvent used at the Site) was regularly detected above groundwater cleanup goals between 2009 and 2013. During this period, only one off-Site monitoring well was regularly above the cleanup goal of a hazard index of 0.25.
The fourth Five Year Review was completed in September 2009 and concluded that:
The remedy at the Site at 101 Bernal Road in San Jose, California is currently protective of human health and the environment. The groundwater plume has been reduced and contained. In the meantime, institutional controls are in place to prevent exposure. There is no exposure risk from vapor intrusion. To be protective in the long term, however, the Fourth Five Year Review required evaluation of alternative remedies or improvements to the existing system. That evaluation was prepared by Fairchild and submitted to the Regional Board and EPA in a Draft Focused Feasibility Study in June 2011. The fifth Five Year Review for the remedy at the Site will be released in 2014.
Potentially Responsible Parties
Potentially responsible parties (PRPs) refers to companies that are potentially responsible for generating, transporting, or disposing of the hazardous waste found at the site.
Fairchild's parent company, Schlumberger Technology Corporation (STC), sold Fairchild to National Semiconductor Corporation in 1987 but remains the responsible party for Site cleanup.

Overactive bladder facts
What is an overactive bladder?
An overactive bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. Overactive bladder causes a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate (urinary urgency), even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine.
Overactive bladder is also referred to as urge incontinence and is a form of urinary incontinence (unintentional loss of urine). Another common type of urinary incontinence is called stress incontinence, which is caused by anatomic weakness in the structures that prevent the bladder from leaking. In general, urinary incontinence is more common in women compared to men.
Although it can happen at any age, overactive bladder is especially common in older adults. Overactive bladder, however, should not be considered a normal part of aging.
What are the causes of overactive bladder?
Reader Stories
Overactive bladder is typically caused by spasms of the muscles of the bladder, resulting in an urge to urinate (hence, urge incontinence). Overactive bladder is primarily a problem of the nerves and muscles of the bladder. Detrusor is one of the major muscles of the bladder. Its contraction in response to filling of the bladder by urine is one the steps in the normal process of urination. The contraction and relaxation of the detrusor muscle is regulated by the nervous system. Approximately 300 cc of urine in the bladder can signal the nervous to trigger muscles of the bladder to coordinate urination. Voluntary control of the sphincter muscles at the opening of the bladder can hold the urine in the bladder for longer. Up to 600 cc of urine can be contained in a normal adult bladder.
Overactive bladder typically results from inappropriate contraction of the detrusor muscle regardless of the amount of urine.
The common abnormalities of the nervous system that cause of overactive bladder are
There are also some causes of overactive bladder and urge incontinence with a normal nervous system. For example, urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or bladder tumors can cause also cause overactivity of the detrusor muscle, leading to overactive bladder.
Sometimes no apparent cause of overactive bladder can be determined (idiopathic overactive bladder).
