It's Week 3 of "The Bachelorette" and we are down to 16 guys in women's tank tops.
Chris arrives at the mansion with the first of two group-date cards. The "Love Is A Battlefield" date goes to Chris, Brian, Drew, Michael, Brooks, Brad, Mikey T., Brandon, Zack and Ben. Let the battling begin!
After a quick limo ride in a stretch SUV, the guys are greeted by Des covered in pink lycra. Instead of being treated to a Pat Benatar concert, the guys are introduced to the men of the National Dodgeball League. Unbeknownst to most people, there is a professional dodgeball league. The overzealous commissioner of the league introduces himself and explains that the league is made up of "serious" players. How serious can they be? The game can be summed up with the 5 D's of dodgeball, which according to Patches O'Houlihan are "dodge, dip, dive, duck and dodge." Just ask Ben Stiller. It's a good thing Brandon wore his lucky orange headband. That should scare the bejeezus out of the professional dodgeball players.
After sizing-up the pros, Michael G., who becomes more feminine each week, refers to them as "very intimidating looking fellows holding dodgeballs." Uh, Michael, real men don't use the word "fellows." After a lot of "balls whizzing by my face" references, Des's men get their girly butts kicked by the real men of the National Dodgeball League. Chris Harrison shows up and tells them that the professionals have sufficiently humiliated them, and it's time to play against each other. The guys have been "randomly" assigned to two teams, and the winning team will get more time with Des.
The red team consists of Mikey T., Michael G., Brooks, Chris and Brandon; the blue team is Ben, Drew, Zack, Brad and Brian. Des is excited to watch the guys play dodgeball because she likes to watch men in their natural state. Nothing says "back to nature" like an intense game of dodgeball.
Speaking of nature, the men arrive at the dodgeball field dressed like fifth graders going to field day in their two-sizes-too-small Soffe shorts and knee socks. No man ever looked sexy in soffee shorts. Brandon exchanged his lucky orange headband for a red one, and Brooks put his hair up in a pony tail to keep his longs locks out of his eyes. I'm assuming he keeps a hair tie on his wrist for just such an occasion. Speaking of hair, Michael G. must have gone back to the mansion and set his in curlers before the game because his hair looked fabulous. Clearly, he didn't spend the time waxing his chest; he is the only guy with hair sticking out of his tank top. Michael G.'s dodgeball strategy is to hide behind Mikey T. to avoid messing up his hair.
After a manly Red Team cheer and a "not so manly" Blue Team jig, the battle begins. The blue team wins the first game after going "balls to the wall." The red team wins the second game. The third game, according to Michael G., is for "all the marbles." Again, not a manly thing to say, dude. Speaking of marbles, at the start of the third game, Brooks goes down in what looks like a kick to his marbles. Fortunately for Brooks, his family jewels are safe, but his finger is broken. Off to the hospital he goes.
Despite Brooks' injury, the game must go on -- because, according to Drew, "this is do or die, this is game 7 of the World Series, it's intense, it's palpable." Take it easy Drew: we know it's for all the marbles, but no matter how hard you try, this pathetic game will not turn into the World Series. In the end, Drew's intensity pays off and the Blue Team emerges as the dodgeball victors. Michael G.'s hair holds, but he cries because he lost the marbles. I have clearly lost my marbles, because I am sitting and watching this stupidity. Good news, Michael! Des was tricking you and all the guys get to come on the date, even the losing red team. Damn, I was hoping to have to listen to Michael whine all the way back to the mansion.
Speaking of whining, we find out that Brooks has been taken to the hospital via ambulance with sirens blasting and lights a-flashing. We next see Brooks on a gurney in the Emergence Room, where he is getting oxygen because he passed out in the ambulance. Grow a pair of marbles, Brooks -- it's just a broken finger! Put a Hello Kitty band-aid on it and get back in the game. It's not like your shin bone protruded through your skin during an NCAA basketball tournament. Even that guy didn't pass out. I think you can handle a finger bone alignment. I had three human beings come out of my body and I didn't pass out or require oxygen. And one of them was almost 10 pounds!
Group Date - Evening
The games are over, but the date must go on. Brad gets some alone time with Des, and just in time; he has something he has to get off his chest. After a lengthy and unnecessary lead-in, Brad's big reveal is that he has a three-year-old son named Maddox who lives with him full-time. Sorry Brad, but Ben beat you to the "exploiting your child for personal gain" angle. Brad does, however, use his son to explain a domestic-violence charge and restraining order filed against him by his alcoholic baby mama. Sure Brad, we believe you. If that weren't bad enough, Brad reaches a new low when he tells Des that he would not have left Maddox "if anyone but you were the Bachelorette." I just threw up a little in my mouth. Putting everything else aside, Brad, who are you and where have you been the past two weeks?
Meanwhile, Chris is getting impatient. He takes Des to a private spot he "found" -- the rooftop of the hotel -- and they talk and bond. It's looking really good for Chris until Brooks arrives at the hotel in a Vicodin-induced haze, holding his broken finger up in the air and wearing his Red Team uniform (obviously, no one at the hospital had the heart to tell him that his team LOST). Brooks and Des sit under a purple blanket, talk and kiss. It is obvious that Des is into Brooks, marbles or no marbles. Although Brooks got the group-date tongue, Chris gets the group-date rose and a private concert with some unknown lady singer. They dance and kiss. No one cares.
Back at the mansion, a date card arrives and Kasey gets the coveted one-on-one date
Crazy Stephanie and Cheating Brian
The next morning, Des is relaxing on the couch wearing skin-tight, hideous flesh-colored pants, when the phone rings. It's Chris Harrison with some "bizarre" news. Chris has forgotten the #1 man code rule -- bros before hoes -- and is clearly about to throw one of the guys under the bus.
Des immediately heads to the mansion and calls Brian and his hot pink t-shirt outside for a chat. Des questions Brian about his last relationship, and he assures her that it was over a long time ago. As the words are leaving Brian's lips, Chris Harrison is escorting Brian's ex-girlfriend/girlfriend Stephanie through the mansion. In one of the most dramatic, staged, phony, set-ups to date, Stephanie, who has taken way-too-much Adderall, goes off on a hysterical, fast-talking, tear-provoking tirade. She screams at Brian for lying to her and for not caring about Donovan, ("Don't you care about Donovan, my son, my son Donovan)." She is also a little upset about him dating six or seven other girls, including a stripper. For a guy with a crooked face, Brian does OK for himself. Stephanie goes on and on, and not even Jerry Springer could stop her. Brian may be a louse who hooked up with her two days before he came on "The Bachelorette," but can you blame him for flying to the other side of the country to get away from her?! Stephanie is a lunatic. ABC better make her the next Bachelorette, because that's the only way she will ever date again after admitting on national television that she threw rocks in Brian's face.
Eventually, Chris's eardrums shatter from Stephanie's high-pitched squealing, and security guard Paulie escorts Brian to his room to pack and then out the door back to Baltimore. The cleaning people must have had the day off, because that room is a pigsty!
After Brian leaves, Chris and Des head into the mansion and tell the guys what just went down -- like they weren't all listening at the back door. Des demands to know if anyone else has any secrets. Twelve seconds of silence later, Des and Kasey finally leave for their date.
As soon as Des leaves, the guys start talking about Brian and Hurricane Stephanie. Michael G. struggles to open a jar of pickles, while Brandon has a breakdown in the kitchen. It seems that Brandon's mom was not only an alcoholic, but also brought home a lot of guys who Brandon fell in love with. Sadly, these men abandoned him and his mother. Brandon says he loves Des and doesn't want anyone leaving him anymore. Someone call security guard Paulie back -- Brandon needs a hug.
Kasey One-on-One

LOCAL junior tennis players will have an opportunity to showcase their skills early next month when they take part in the New Winners tournament to be held at Harare Sports Club. The four-day tournament is set to run from January 3 to 6 with participants taking part in five age groups - Under-10, Under-12, Under14, Under-16 and Under-18.
Tennis Zimbabwe administrator, Cliff Nhokwara said registration is already underway and the major highlight of the tournament is the introduction of the Under-10 age group in next year's edition.
"Registration is underway and will close on December 28. We already have some entries but most of the players like to register on the last day so we are expecting more players to come in.
"With the rains and the holiday we will be happy if we get over 100 entries and I think we can get that number. We have the Under-10 red ball being the entry level. It's a new programme we are holding for early ages. Usually we concentrate on the Under-12 but we have gone back to the Under-10.
"It will cater for everyone below the age of 10 who can hold a racket. The red ball is for the beginners and when they have improved they progress to the orange ball then green and then the normal ball," said Nhokwara.
Nhokwara said the idea is to create a wider base for junior developmental programmes.
"We are widening the base for grassroots development. If you look at the Under-10 that's where we get more kids, basically this is to do with catching them young. We want to introduce them to competition at a tender age," said Nhokwara. The TZ administrator said they are looking forward to stiff competition as they have players from Botswana and South Africa that have entered for the tournament.
"We have entrances from Botswana and South Africa, we hope they will come and hopefully that will give extensive competition to our players," said Nhokwara.
Nhokwara, however, noted that some of the top players in the Under-12, Under-14 and Under-16 age groups will not be available for the tournament as they are scheduled to take part in the Zonal tournaments to be held in Namibia from January 6 to 12.
"For next year it's unfortunate that the tournament is clashing with the Zonal tournament in Namibia and the top two players from the Under-12 to Under-16 will not be available.
"But the Under-18 will not be affected because they have their own tournament that is held in South Africa," said Nhokwara.
Mufaro Mukome is the defending champion in the Under-18 boys category while Michaela Baker holds the girls' title.

secret is to obtain one or more sets of practice exams, in addition to one or more good books. You can visit an online bookstore like Amazon.com to use reader rankings to help you pick best of breed books, but I recommend the A+ Training Guide and the A+ Exam Cram 2 (by Charles Brooks (TG), and James Jones and Craig Landes (EC2), respectively). Your best study plan is to begin with a thorough review of the exam objectives (available at http://www.comptia.org/certification/A/objectives.asp) to identify topics where learning, study, and practice are needed, then to use practice exams to assess your exam readiness. When you can beat the required passing scores of 515 (Core Hardware) and 505 (OS) by 10% or more--or 570 and 555, respectively--you'll be ready for the real thing.
Oh--and one more thing: make sure you have access to one or more PCs that you can use purely for learning and practice. It's one thing to read about this stuff; it's another to use what you read to practice and play with what you're learning. I strongly recommend you set up a small home PC lab for that purpose, and I urge you to use a machine that doesn't have to be running so you or your family can play games, read e-mail, or do whatever it is they use PCs for routinely. That'll keep you out of trouble when your machine is torn apart as you're trying to figure out how to put it back together or restore it to working condition again.

Teen Mom
Is Kailyn Lowry's Son Isaac Potty Trained?
Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry has her hands full — of dirty diapers. Despite the fact that this gal's adorable son, Isaac, is over three-years-old, the little dude still hasn't been fully potty trained and as you might expect, Kailyn's haters are calling her out.
"Having a hard time potty training," Kailyn tweeted on April 22. "Isaac will only go on the potty if we're home & he's naked. We obviously can't do that when we're out."
Three years old might seem a tad late in the game, but it isn't that uncommon of an age to start the potty training process, especially for boys (who are notorious for taking longer to potty train than girls). Plus, let's not forget that potty training is all about consistency, and Isaac could be having a hard time due to to the fact that he divides time between his two parents. If Kailyn's baby daddy, Jo Rivera, isn't reinforcing the potty training Kail is doing, Isaac will definitely take longer to learn.
Either way, it looks like Kailyn is well aware of the fact that her adorable kiddo needs to learn how to use the bathroom! Girlfriend is on top of things per usual, so no need to fly into a panic, Teen Momers.
However, feel free to fly into a full-blown meltdown since we still don't know whether or not Teen Mom 2 has been renewed for another season. Quit playing games with our hearts, MTV!
Are you surprised that Isaac is having potty training problems? Tell us below!

photo of Oakland Charter Academy student by D. Ross Cameron/Oakland Tribune
The racial and economic achievement gap comes up, in some form or another, at almost every Oakland school board meeting. Yet there are a handful of schools here in this city that have made that gap invisible, at least on their campuses, and I sometimes wonder who is paying attention.
Take the Oakland Charter Academy, a charter middle school in Fruitvale with a Latino population of about 93 percent. Last year those students — the vast majority of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunches — scored a 902 this year on the state's Academic Performance Index out of a possible 1,000 points.
The average Latino middle schooler in California scores in the 600s.
I wrote a story in today's Trib about the loads of work that these kids (and those at the American Indian charter schools, which use a similar model) are putting in every day — and about the general skepticism surrounding their success. You can read it here.
This fall, the Oakland Charter Academy became the second public school in Oakland to win a National Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Department of Education. During the ceremony, OUSD's charter school director David Montes de Oca said this:
"Throughout this country are people who believe not all children can learn. Sometimes it takes a small school from the 'hood to prove them wrong."
Has it?
What lessons can be learned from the academic achievements of Oakland Charter Academy and American Indian Public Charter School students? To what extent do you believe a school can help students overcome external factors and learn enough to compete with wealthier kids for spots in colleges or jobs?

Volunteers are needed as construction continues on a new house for a Dry Ridge family whose home was destroyed in last year's tornado.
Kim Nagle's Dry Ridge mobile home was destroyed March 2 when a tornado ripped through Kentucky, leaving several dead and many residences damaged in Crittenden.
TriState Habitat for Humanity held a construction kick-off ceremony Oct. 20 where the family's home once stood on Adams Road.
As one year ends and another begins, we look at the questions that will be asked and answered in 2013.
1. What, if anything, will happen at the Grant County Detention Center?
Six lawsuits have been filed by former employees against Grant County Detention Center Jailer Terry Peeples since he took office in January 2011.
Some of the allegations have included illegal conduct at the jail while others deal with alleged retaliatory behavior by Peeples.
Summer Raines Nickell has faded and tattered photographs that she looks at frequently.
Those handful of pictures, along with stories handed down from her aunts and uncles, are all the memories she has of her mother, Lawanda Sue Raines.
Raines was murdered by Keith Bramblett in 1989, but it would take 12 years for him to confess to the shooting and show Raines' family where he buried her body under a pile of rocks near the Grant/Owen county line off Ky. 22.
Heather Patterson can wield a mean whisk, but she's also not afraid to grab a power tool and make something.
• Four accidents leave 75 vehicles damaged on Interstate 75 after snow and ice fell on Grant County.
• Three fires in less than a month leaves two families homeless and a summer home in ruins. A two-story log home just off Day Road, a two-story home in Mason and a home on Napolean-Zion Station Road were destroyed in the unrelated blazes.
• The Fox television series "The Real Winning Edge" highlights Felicity Spicer's fight against thyroid cancer.
Despite the Grant County Fiscal Court voting down a proposed emergency services taxing district, the debate of how to increase funding for fire and EMS services likely will continue into the new year.
Magistrates Brian Linder, Bobby Young and Richard Austin voted against the proposed taxing district with Judge-Executive Darrell Link voting in favor of the proposal.
Sure Ben Tanner wants stuff for his birthday and Christmas, but he'd rather see children who may not have as much as he does have something under their tree on Christmas morning.
Thanks to Ben's generosity, several children woke up to a better Christmas with presents that Ben donated to the Crittenden Baptist Church's annual holiday campaign.
A popular Grant County High School teacher died last week.
Tom Pitts, an electrical technology instructor at the Grant County Career and Technical Center, died Dec. 17 following a stroke over the weekend.
He began teaching in Grant County when the career/technical center opened in 2011.
Earl Hampton, minister of the Vineyard Church of Grant County, came to Mason-Corinth on Dec. 17, to speak with the students in Heather Curd's third grade class about the events that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary on Dec. 14.
On that day a gunman entered the school and shot six adults and 20 students before turning the gun on himself.
Sara Edwards, Family Resource Coordinator at Mason-Corinth Elementary, requested that Hampton visit Mason-Corinth Elementary.
The Grant County Fiscal Court voted 3-1 against establishing an emergency services taxing district.
All three magistrates (Dick Austin, Brian Linder and Bobby Young) voted against the district, while Judge-Executive Darrell Link voted in favor of it.
The vote took less than five minutes at the Dec. 17 fiscal court meeting.
The Grant County Fire Chiefs Association said they are disappointed "that the court has chosen not to move forward on this critical issue."

Re: Sprint's JD Power ranking drops, ATT now # 2
Haggard said:
...The catch is, Sprint isn't letting customers know about the "upgrade now". We can't say anything about that unless they specifically ask about the upgrade now....
It never ceases to amaze me how they will ALWAYS take the low road. At every single juncture where there is a high road and a low road, they unflinchingly take the low road.
And they have no clue how always taking the low road hurts business significantly in the short term, and just flat ruins their business in the long term. That's the very reason they can never get ahead, the reason there is never any significant nor sustainable growth, the reason they will always be an "also-ran". One step forward, two steps backward. S is its own worst enemy, to be sure. That's why VZ & ATT never really worry about S, because they know that eventually S will hang themseves, and drive their own customers into the waiting arms of VZ and ATT.
It would be funny, if it wasn't so pathetic.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — For the first time since he was taken in the third round in the 2009 draft, Mike Wallace will miss a regular-season game for the Steelers.
Some veterans to play final game for Steelers
It might well be the first of many games Pittsburgh plays without the speedster receiver going forward.
An injury in his left hip and hamstring area will prevent Wallace from playing in the Steelers' season finale Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. He will be an unrestricted free agent, leaving his status with the team for beyond this season in question.
Wallace isn't the only veteran who might have attended his final practice as a Steelers player Friday. On the heels of a non-winning season and with salary-cap issues upcoming, Pittsburgh (7-8) has some decisions to make on several longtime stalwarts who have been tenured contributors to championship teams.
Wallace, Casey Hampton, Rashard Mendenhall, Max Starks, James Harrison, Larry Foote and Charlie Batch have a combined 59 years of service for the Steelers, 12 starts in Super Bowls for the team and 11 championship rings.
There is reason to believe the game against Cleveland (5-10) will be the final one for many in that group as part of the organization.
"I don't know who's going to be out the door or who's going to be re-signed, but it's always a business first," Foote said. "From a selfish standpoint on defense, we were No. 1 in the league — so bring us all back, keep us all. But I never know what's their plans and (general manager) Kevin Colbert can run a team better than I can."
Starks, who will start his 96th game at tackle for the Steelers on Sunday, and Hampton, the team's nose tackle for the past 12 seasons, both hinted this week they could envision playing elsewhere.
The Steelers' most recent two second-round draft picks — and rookies of the year — are tackles. That doesn't bode well for Starks, who rebounded from injury each of the past two years to become a reliable starter for the Steelers by the time the season ended.
"I think the writing's on the wall, so to speak," Starks said. "I had a great run — nine years here. I've gotten to be a part of three Super Bowl teams and got a chance to grasp two of those Lombardis, so it's an excellent career. If I have to move on, this will always be home for me."
Hines Ward wept at his retirement press conference in March when he said he couldn't envision himself in another uniform. The gregarious Hampton chuckled this week at that notion — maintaining that he'd while he'd like to stay a Steeler, he'd play elsewhere if he had to.
A 35-year-old pending free agent, there's no guarantee the team will make a strong effort to keep Hampton.
Like Hampton and Starks, Foote said on Friday that he doesn't want to be a backup. But unlike Starks and Hampton, Foote can attest to the grass not always being greener.

Scientist who ignited stem-cell war says it's over
James Thomson, the scientist who helped ignite cultural and political controversy with the use of embryos in stem-cell research believes his new discovery – using ordinary adult skin cells – means the war is virtually over.
"A decade from now, this will be just a funny historical footnote," James A. Thomson told the New York Times in an interview.
Thomson's laboratory at the University of Wisconsin was one of two that announced Tuesday a new way to turn ordinary human skin cells into what appear to be embryonic stem cells without using a human embryo.
The technique involves adding four genes to ordinary adult skin cells.

Pinellas County school officials call on legislature to make improvements to public ed
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Tags: Pinellas County Schools, Peggy O'Shea, Michael Grego, Dwight Dudley, education
Pinellas County School Board members rubbed shoulders with state lawmakers Wednesday morning in hopes of getting some of their priorities heard in Tallahassee. During a breakfast served up by culinary students at the Clearwater PTEC campus, Pinellas School Board member Peggy OShea hopes to get additional resources to expand career-driven curriculum.
Because then kids leave high school with job skills, true job skills that they can take into the workforce and come out with a better future than they would have with just a high school diploma with no career background.
She also hopes to secure funding to improve, maintain and expand school infrastructure. OShea understands the tough political climate in the state legislature, but says lawmakers should be concerned with what constituents want for their childrens education.
I think when youre elected to office whether its school board or the state legislature, youre not elected because people want your ideas to go forward. Youre elected because they want you to carry their ideas forward.
Funding for public education suffered a more than $1 billion cut in 2011 shortly after Governor Rick Scott took office. In 2012, Scotts budget restored $1 billion of that. But critics argue it didnt come close to replacing what was slashed. Pinellas County Schools Superintendent Michael Grego is hoping to get some of the funds back.
Our base student allocation is still down hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Were trying to recover from that and our request is that we provide those funds in a very flexible manner not tied to specific things, but provide the district some flexibility so that our bargaining and our unions can sit down and insure that these funds go for the betterment of students.
Grego is also focusing on changes to the state educational standards as districts transition to Common Core. The new standards are aligned with almost every other state in the nation and are intended to be tougher. But new tests to accompany the standards havent been chosen yet. Grego says the state should allow districts a three-year transitional period.
Weve been used to writing our own the FCAT over many, many years and it has been validated. It has a high level of reliability. Now were jumping to another assessment. We dont know what that assessment is. We dont know its not been validated, it hasnt been tested. Were setting high standards. Were attaching that assessment to teacher performance pay, administrative performance pay. So we have that cart before the horse.
Grego is also worried about the school grading system many see as flawed. He says Pinellas implemented a grading rubric that takes multiple factors into account instead of relying solely on students testing scores.
We take a look the same way we did a few years ago where we looked at our high school grading system and we said theres many things that contribute to good schools. We looked at advanced placement. We looked at accelerated courses. We looked at various graduation rates. We looked at a variety of measures for high schools. Were saying that that same type of system, the examination should take place with elementary and middle the same way that we very successfully did it in partnership with the high schools.
Members of the Pinellas County legislative delegation listened to pleas from the school board as well as stakeholders such as the Classroom Teachers Association and the PTA. When asked about his legislative priorities for public education, Representative Dwight Dudley, a Democrat, says he wants to see more of a push toward early childhood education.
Its pretty obvious that so many kids from lower socioeconomic situations come into our school system so ill-prepared and they end up behind, brutally behind, deeply behind, irreversibly behind and we need to do something about that.
By focusing on children as early as infancy, Dudley says it could have a marked effect of student success.
The experts say that, The Annie Casey Foundation says by about third grade they lose interest in school. By fifth grade theyre completely disinterested, they become behavioral problems and disruptive and so on. They end up dropping out. Theyre five times more likely to be incarcerated.
Dudley is not on the education committee that writes bills, but he says he will be an advocate for early childhood education and support a bill if its brought up. The legislative session starts March 4.

|The Following User Says Thank You to JON For This Useful Post:
7.3 Cam Position Sensor repair
The indications for a bad CPS will be intermittent miss, stalling, check engine light, etc.
The cam sensor is a common repair on the 7.3. A CPS can fail at any time just like a light bulb so I recommend you carry a spare âblackâ Ford CPS in your glove box along with a 3" extention, 10mm 6pt 1/4" drive socket. Use the 6 point so not to round the bolt head incase it is really tight.
What will happen is the truck will suddenly quit running and sometimes it will start again instantly and occasionally it will restart after you let it sit for a minute or two....and every so often it will not start at all. The cam sensor is the most frequent reason for a stall out on a 7.3.
Under the truck you will see a brass piece that looks like a peg just over top of the main pulley on the passenger side of the truck. There should be an electrical plug near the brass piece that you need to unplug. Take out the 10mm bolt that holds the sensor in place. When the bolt has been removed you can get it out by twisting and pulling straight out on the sensor. The brass piece will just come off if you use it for removal so donât even mess with it. Now replace it with the new one (donât forget to add some oil to the new o-ring) and your done.
Pics to come soon...

WHEREAS, the recent period of extremely cold temperatures, and adverse winter weather conditions have increased the necessity and public demand for propane (also known as liquefied petroleum gas or LP gas) within the state; and
WHEREAS, this period of inclement weather has made it unusually difficult for commercial transporters of propane to make consistent and timely deliveries of propane by motor vehicles ont eh public highways in Missouri, which are neeed to supply the public demand of propane; and
WHEREAS, the safety and welfare of the inhabitants of this state require that motor carriers for hire and private carriers by motor vehicles which are transporting propane be allowed more rapid and efficient travel to meet this public demand for propane within the state; and
WHEREAS, this requirement for more rapid and efficient transportation would be facilitated by the temporary suspension of certain usual and cecessary regulator limitations on the hours of service of drivers of commercial motor vehicles while transporting propane during this period; and
WHEREAS, 49 CFR Section 390.23 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations provides that a Governor of the State may declare an emergency thereby exempting motor carriers or drivers operating a commercial vehicle from Parts 390 through 399 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (49 CFR 390.23); and
WHEREAS, the requirements of 49 CFR 395.3(a) and 395.3(b) are also made applicable to the drivers of commercial motor vehicles operating in this state under Section 307.400, RSMo 1994, and the rules promulgated by the director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety under 11 CSR 30-6.010;
WHEREAS, several retail and wholesale transporters and suppliers in Missouri have provided documentation to the State of Missouri through the Missouri Propane Gas Association as evidence to support propane supply interruptions regarding the availability and/or delivery of propane at various locations within Missouri and sources outside Missouri; and,
WHEREAS, the Missouri propane gas industry has requested relief from the requirements of 49 CFR Section 395.3(a) and 395.3(b) of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for motor carriers while providing propane to customers in the state of Missouri as emergency relief actions;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Roger B. Wilson, Governor of the State of Missouri, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of Missouri, hereby suspend the requirements of Section 307.400, RSMo 1994, and the rules promulgated by the Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety under 11 C.S.R. 30-6.010
- A state of emergency exists that requires relief from regulations
incorporated in Missouri and Federal Statutes and Regulations pertaining
to hours of service for motor carriers and drivers of commercial motor
vehicles, while transporting propane (49 CFR, Part 395).
- I further direct that this exemption applies only to those motor
carriers providing direct assistance to the emergency relief effort.
Direct assistance terminates when a driver or commercial motor vehicle
is used in interstate commerce to transport cargo not destined for
the emergency relief effort or when the carrier dispatches such driver
to another location to begin operations in commerce.
- I further direct the Missouri State Highway Patrol, its officers
and commercial vehicle inspectors, the enforcement personnel of the
Missouri Division of Motor Carrier and Railroad Safety within the
Missouri Department of Economic Development, and any other officers
of this state or any political subdivision of this state, to suspend
their enforcement of 49 C.F.R. Section 395.3 with reference only to
drivers of commercial motor vehicles while transporting propane within
this state; and
- I further direct that this suspension order shall not apply with
reference to any dirver while that dirver, or the employer of that
driver, has been placed out of service as provided by law, and nothing
contained herein shall be construed as an exception from the Controlled
Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing requirement (49 CFR 382), Commercial
Driver's License requirements in 49 CFR, Part 383, the Financial Responsibility
requirements in 49 CFR Part 387, or applicable Size and Weight requirements;
- That nothing herein shall be construed to relieve motor carriers
and drivers from regulations pertaining to qualifications of drivers,
driving of commercial motor vehicles, or parts and accessories necessary
for the safe operation of vehicles.
- No motor carrier operating under the terms of this emergency order
shall require or allow a fatigued or ill driver to operate a motor
vehicle. A driver who informs a carrier that he or she needs immediate
rest shall be given at least eight consecutive hours off-duty before
the driver is required to return to service.
- Upon the expiration of the effective date of this emergency, or
when a driver has been relieved of all duty and responsibility to
provide direct assistance to the emergency effort, a driver that has
had at least 24 consecutive hours off-duty shall be permitted to start
his or her on-duty status hours and 60/70 hour clock at zero.
- Enforcement personnel of the Missouri Division of Motor Carrier
and Railroad Safety within the Missouri Department of Economic Development,
and any other officers of this state or any political subdivision
of this state, to suspend their enforcement of 49 CFR Sections 395.3(a)
and 395.3(b) with reference only to dirvers of commercial motor vehicles
while transporting propane within this state.
- This state of emergency declaration and subsequent suspension order shall not apply with reference to any driver while that driver, or the employer of that driver, has been placed out of service as provided by law; and during the emergency period, all motor carriers enjoying relief under this Executive Order shall implement the safety countermeasures as outlined by the Division of Motor Carrier and Railroad Safety and which shall be kept at all times in the cab of the commercial motor vehicle along with a copy of this Order.
This Order shall be effective for the period December 20, 2000, through the duration of the declared emergency period (as defined in 49 CFR 390.5) or 15 days (12:00 a.m., January 4, 2001), whichever is less. The duration of the emergency shall be determined based upon daily information from the propane industry which reflects the status of propane supplies and deliveries at both the bulk terminal and retail distribution levels to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Energy Center through the Missouri Propane Gas Association.
|IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of Missouri, in the City of Jefferson, on this 21st day of December, 2000.

Are you interested in providing a little hope?

LV County Championship - Division Two
Lord's - Day Four
Derbyshire 244 (D J Birch 72, C J L Rogers 63) & 273 (J L Clare 57, T J Murtagh 4-70) v Middlesex 262 (B J M Scott 66, E C Joyce 58, K J Dean 4-28) & 256-4 (O A Shah 86, E T Smith 74)
Middlesex (19pts) beat Derbyshire (4pts) by 6 wkts
Owais Shah and Ed Smith both hit fifties as Middlesex powered to victory against Derbyshire at Lord's.
Starting the day on 260-9, Derbyshire added just 13 for their final wicket to close on 273 to leave Middlesex chasing a target of 256 for victory.
The hosts suffered an early setback when Billy Godleman went for eight with the score just on 28 as he was trapped lbw by Charl Langeveldt.
England hopeful Shah came to the crease though and he put on 96 with Smith before the skipper was bowled by Jake Needham for 74 - which came from just 81 balls to get Middlesex rolling towards victory.
Shah was more watchful as Ed Joyce came in with a quick 34 at nearly a run-a-ball, before a third fifty partnership as Shah went on to make 86.
Eoin Morgan was able to steer the ship from there and Middlesex went on to win by six wickets in the end with a degree of comfort.
Day Three
Derbyshire moved into position to claim only their second win of the season after moving to 260-9 before bad light stopped play in their second innings.
Middlesex had Derbyshire on the ropes at 91-5 in the morning session before a stand of 57 between Graham Wagg (41) and John Sadler (37) put the visitors back in the driving seat.
Charl Langeveldt hit a quickfire 30 from 17 balls, including three fours and a six to help take the visitors into a lead of 242 with a day to play.
Langeveldt was stumped by wicketkeeper Ben Scott, who claimed six dismissals in the innings, after trying one shot too many off veteran spinner Shaun Udal.
Jonathan Clare also upped the tempo, finishing on 46 not out from 48 deliveries as he helped set Middlesex a target they may not fancy chasing on a deteriorating wicket.
Day Two
A record ninth-wicket partnership of 90 from Ben Scott and Shaun Udal rescued Middlesex against Derbyshire at Lord's.
The hosts managed to scrap their way to 262 all out, giving them an 18-run lead, and at stumps Derbyshire were struggling on 49-2 in their second innings.
Udal came in to bat with his team struggling on 172-8, but a superb partnership, beating the previous best of 68, put the game back in the balance.
The partnership, which included 14 fours from 140 balls, was finally broken when Scott - who top scored with 66 - edged a Kevin Dean delivery down the leg side where wicketkeeper Freddie Klokker made a good diving catch.
Dean then took out Dirk Nannes' off stump with the next delivery to end the Middlesex innings and leave himself on a hat-trick.
Derbyshire had 19 overs to survive at the crease but Middlesex had their tails up by now and Vernon Philander saw Chris Rogers (11) edge his
delivery to Owais Shah at first slip.
Stephen Stubbings was then caught behind on 14 from Tim Murtagh's excellent delivery to putv the hosts on top heading into day three.
Day One
Derbyshire suffered a dramatic collapse on the first day of their LV County Championship Division Two match against Middlesex at Lord's.
The decision of Middlesex captain Ed Smith to field after winning the toss was ultimately vindicated after the visitors were bowled out for 244.
It looked a poor call early on, however, after Derbyshire reached 217-5. Although Steve Stubbings (26) was caught behind off Dirk Nannes, Chris Rodgers made 67 before edging a Vernon Philander delivery onto his stumps.
Captain Rikki Clarke (14) was bowled by Danny Evans while John Sadler (4) was trapped lbw by Tim Murtagh. Despite wilting on 151-4, Derbyshire improved approaching tea.
However, four wickets in 17 balls, including that of Dan Birch, who made a dogged 72 before being caught behind off Shaun Udal, gave Middlesex the upper hand.
In reply, the hosts' hopes of surviving the remaining five overs were dashed when Billy Godleman (1) was trapped lbw by Kevin Dean.
