NEW YORK (AP) — The reporter for Mother Jones magazine who broke the story of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's remarks that 47 percent of Americans "believe they are victims" is among the winners of the 64th annual George Polk Awards in Journalism.
David Corn, Mother Jones' Washington bureau chief, received the political reporting prize for his work, which shook up the campaign when he reported on the remarks in September.
The awards were announced Monday by Long Island University. Winners also include journalists from Bloomberg News, The New York Times, CBS News, McClatchy Newspapers, GlobalPost, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, the Maine Sunday Telegram, "Frontline," and the nonprofit California Watch.
Among the top prizes in U.S. journalism, the Polk Awards were created in 1949 in honor of CBS reporter George W. Polk, who was killed while covering the Greek civil war. This year's awards will be given out April 11.
Stories on China won David Barboza of The New York Times as well as the staff of Bloomberg News the award for foreign reporting. Barboza's three-part series looked into the financial assets of government officials and their families. Bloomberg News put together a series of stories looking at China's elites and their wealth.
China was also the subject for an award-winning television news report by CBS News correspondent Holly Williams and cameraman Andrew Portch. They covered Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng, who escaped from house arrest to the U.S. embassy in Beijing.
Coverage of Syria won awards for war reporting and video reporting. David Enders, Austin Tice and the staff of McClatchy Newspapers were awarded the war reporting prize for their coverage of the war and its factions. Tracey Shelton of GlobalPost was honored with the video reporting prize for her work showcasing the human impact of the conflict.
John Hechinger and Janet Lorin of Bloomberg News won the national reporting award for a yearlong series that looked at abuses in the system for financing higher education, while the local reporting award went to Gina Barton of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for reporting on a Milwaukee man who died in police custody after repeatedly telling officers he couldn't breathe.

Except we understand your concern since your daughter is sleeping with him! But oh, it gets even better… did Serena's mom Lily hook up with Steven? Now we're just entering ultra-gross territory.
Check out the official synopsis and preview for the episode below:

Finally, they've seen sense. In response to feedback that "Oyster Extension Permits weren't well understood" Transport for London today announced that agreement has been reached with London's train companies to scrap the outer zone "exit visa" from the end of May.
Many of you who have been overcharged as a result of ignorance, "user ineptitude" or ticket gate failure will be wryly satisfied. It may have taken over 12 months but your wrangles with Oyster customer services and complaints to TFL were worth it in the end. Removal of this needlessly bureaucratic bit of digital admin means 'pay as you go' finally means just that.
Other notable outcomes of the morning meeting are the promise of a new, clear and combined Rail and TfL Oyster map for London for all rail and tube stations and a commitment from TfL and the train companies to work together to finalise plans to extend Oyster PAYG outside London.
The exact date for removal of the OEP requirement is still to be confirmed.

Well, I did cave and decided to drive the 1.75 hours to Morgantown to see the taping of Mountain Stage last night. I texted my daughter on Thursday and told her to get tickets. My wife ended up going with me (my buddy had to work). After dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend, we went to the Creative Arts Center and got in line. I texted my daughter and told her she needed to work harder getting tickets - the general admission seats she got me had about 20 people in line in front of me (the whole thing was GA). We ended up in the third row - could have been closer, but I wanted to be just to the left of center stage for Vintage Trouble so I could keep my eye on Nalle Colt.
This show is scheduled to air on May 10, and it will be on the npr.org and mountainstage.org sites as well as iTunes. It was a very good show with two particular high points. First up was a band called Milo Green - great harmonies, but they never really seemed to go anywhere. The vocals were mostly those breathy-type, and they just seemed to need an edge.
Next up was Steve Forbert doing a solo acoustic set. Mostly new material, and it was very good.
After that was high point number one, a young woman named Mieka Pauley. Her songs have sort of a dark viewpoint - well, what else can you say when the first song is about stalking and murdering a man, the second is about breaking up a marriage, and the fourth (and set closer) is "We're All Gonna Die"? But she has a great voice and wicked sense of humor - after the second song, she said, "I'd like to lighten the mood a bit, but that would take a cover song." Line of the night. Close runner up was host Larry Groce (yes, "Junk Food Junkie" Larry Groce), who came out after her set and said, "Wow. That's the kind of girl you want to take home to mother. If you can leave out the mother part."
After that was Vintage Trouble, and they owned the room. Only a five song set, but they tore the place up. Nalle Colt was using a rented amp, but you'd never know. His tone was awesome as usual. I told him about it after, and he said the amp was "just a rented piece of sh*t", but I told him it didn't matter - the tone was there. And where we were at, we heard the straight amp sound, not the PA.
The final act was Robben Ford, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. After VT, he was the act I was most interested in hearing going in. But it was all jazzy stuff, and I just can't make that connection. The other problem was the mix - it was horrible. No vocals on the first song, no organ on the first couple. And he had his Dumble CRANKED - it drowned everything out, even when they did the big jam at the end.
After the show, we stayed to talk to VT again (they remembered me - I'm sure the VT shirt helped, but Nalle and RIch especially seemed to remeber me). And I picked up Mieka's CD and talked to her a bit. Sweet girl.
I texted this pic to my daughter and said, "Meet your new mommy":
And I finally got a good picture with VT:
And VT in action:
I wish I'd known you could take cameras in for this one - I could have gotten some great pics. But the important thing is I had a blast. Worth the drive and fatigue!

Stevens Set to Throw Out First Pitch
Retired Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens, a record nine-time winner of the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I), will throw out a ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium on April 3 in advance of the Dodgers' Freeway Series preseason finale with the Angels, which starts at 12:10 p.m. PD).
Stevens will also be an honored guest at Santa Anita Park earlier in the day as he'll be among a large group of racing luminaries on hand for the Santa Anita Derby Draw Breakfast in the track's FrontRunner Restaurant, beginning at 9:30 a.m.
"This is really awesome," said Stevens. "I'm a big Dodger fan and I'm really honored by this. I'm going to bring my wife (Angie) and my little girl (Maddie) and we're going to take a lot of pictures. It should be a great day!"
Stevens who is currently working as a racing analyst with HRTV and NBC, won his first Santa Anita Derby in 1988 with the brilliant filly Winning Colors. She went on to win the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) as well in the first of three Run for the Roses triumphs for the native of Caldwell, Idaho.
In addition to Winning Colors in 1988, Stevens won the Kentucky Derby in 1995 with Thunder Gulch and in 1997 with Silver Charm.
Along with his Kentucky Derby victories, he also had five other Triple Crowns wins, two in the Preakness and three in the Belmont.

Part 2:
"Did somebody reached gps tethering on spica?"
All three ways:
1. adb forward tcp:2947 tcp:2947/telnet localhost 2947 - on laptop;
2. telnet <spica IP> 2947 on laptop;
3. telnet 127.0.0.1 2947 on spica;
gives empty output.
Only one different is on point 3. - when I made loop connection on spica I've got "GPSD" chain but any other data.
Of course any app using gpsd data on laptop does not recognise locations.
Did somebody got gps tethering working on spica?
It is not important which way. I wrote about GPStether cause I did not found anything else.
Samdroid kitchen i5700EXXJC1/leshak@i5700-dev7 #16/LK2.06.beta3
Then. Could You Johnik post that?
Или "дайте, пожалуйста, прав для создания новых тем" :-D.
Большое спосибо.
Hi. I see I am not only one who ask about creating new threads.
I'd like to ask about gps tethering. If you could post that I would be fully stisfied. I have not to celebrate it myself.
Part 1:
"Did somebody reached gps tethering on spica?"
I ve been tried that software Das GPSTether Projekt
It is a pity I've got null output. I mean that on spica that app does not send gps data. It opens 2947 port on spica - with adb it is possible to bind that port on laptop and it is possible to connect via wifi.
I checked also loop connection with "telnet 127.0.0.1 2947" on androids terminal.

Debugging ASP.NET with the CLR DebuggerTo customize this column to your needs, we want to invite you to submit your ideas about topics that interest you and issues that you want to see addressed in future Knowledge Base articles and Support Voice columns. You can submit your ideas and feedback using the Ask For It

On This Page
Welcome back! I'm Jim Cheshire, a support engineer here at Microsoft supporting ASP.NET. I've shared several tips in the past few months and this month we are going to discuss debugging ASP.NET with the CLR debugger, and as always, send us your suggestions for future columns.
So please, pull up a chair, kick off your shoes, and read through our column all about debugging ASP.NET, and remember, you can submit your ideas to us using the "ASK FOR IT" link included in every column we publish.
Debugging ASP.NET with the CLR DebuggerDuring the Troubleshooting ASP.NET series, I have done over quite a few different troubleshooting techniques using different tools. By now, you should have noticed a pattern; these techniques have all involved troubleshooting an ASP.NET application in a production environment. Why is that? Most ASP.NET developers will catch pervasive problems during the development or testing phase. The really nasty problems typically rear their head after an application has been moved to production. You can thank Murphy for that!
Last time, I showed you how to use Windbg and the SOS extension to debug a crash in the ASP.NET worker process. That's a valuable skill to have, but let's face it; oftentimes you just need to debug an application in a more user-friendly environment. In those cases, Visual Studio .NET is an excellent choice, assuming you are able to remotely debug or install it on the server. In cases where those are not viable options, you can still have all of the convenience and familiarity of Visual Studio .NET without the overhead by using the CLR Debugger.
The CLR Debugger is a debugger that comes with the .NET Framework SDK. You can download the SDK from the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b3a2ca6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d&displaylang=enIf you're used to debugging in Visual Studio .NET, the CLR Debugger will feel familiar to you.
Collapse this imageExpand this image
After you've installed the .NET Framework SDK, you can find the CLR Debugger at the following location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v1.1\GuiDebug\DbgClr.exeDebugging with the CLR Debugger is quite straightforward. However, in order for it to work, you will need to build your application in debug mode. You don't need to have symbols available and you don't need to have the Debug attribute in your web.config file set to true. You will also need to install the CLR Debugger on the Web server. You cannot remotely debug with the CLR Debugger.
Once you've deployed an assembly built in debug mode, you're ready to go. Here are the steps for debugging in detail.
Collapse this imageExpand this image
The CLR Debugger offers many robust debugging features. In the image above, you can see that the CLR Debugger has stopped on a breakpoint. In this screenshot, you can see the disassembly, the locals, the source window, and the call stack. All of the other familiar debugging windows are also available.
The next time you have a need to debug an ASP.NET application and you're not able to use Visual Studio .NET, consider trying the CLR Debugger.

Anderson Silva studying to become a LAPD officer
The former UFC middleweight champion won't return to the Octagon in 2014, so apparently he's using his time off to recover from the injury he suffered against Chris Weidman and study to become a cop in Los Angeles, California, where he lives with his wife and kids.
"I train every morning, take my kids to school and go to the police school," Silva told Folha de Sao Paulo in Brazil. "I'm studying at the Los Angeles School Police Department. I'm studying to become a police officer."
Silva doesn't plan to put on the uniform and fight against crime, though. According to the UFC star, he wants to honor his uncle, who raised him in Curitiba.
"It's a personal wish, something that will make my uncle happy," he explained. "He thought it was a little weird that I'm not doing this here (in Brazil), but it wasn't the right time. My brothers are police officers, my nephews are police officers. It's a family thing."
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
he'll do ride alongs with Segal and make it a reality show.lol.

Alexander Prosper
Joe Curtis, Senior reporter / / News
A charity is hoping volunteers can help raise awareness of missing people at an event this week.
Missing People is appealing for volunteers to help distribute posters and invite people to sign up to the charity's email alerts when it comes to Walthamstow on Thursday.
The Met had 49,252 reports of missing people in 2010/11 and the charity hopes someone might recognise one of the young people who have disappeared in neighbouring boroughs.
They include Alexander Prosper, who was 43 when he disappeared from his home in Walthamstow on April 24, 2006.
His car was found in Berwick, Northumbria, but his family have never heard from him.
Mr Prosper, also known as John Asreal, is 5ft 8in tall with short, black hair and brown eyes.
He wears glasses and was known to busk with his guitar.
He can call the confidential service Message Home on Freefone 0800 700 740 to leave a message letting his family know he is safe.
Appeals for information on Mr Prosper and others like him will be made at the event outside Walthamstow Central Library in High Street, in two sessions from 10.30am until 1.30pm and from 2.30pm until 5.30pm.
Beth Knebel, Missing People local area coordinator for London said: "It is great to be out working within such active communities again and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to reach so many people.
"It's very important to distribute posters and encourage people to sign up to our alerts and join the search, but we also want the public to know that anyone affected by a disappearance can call us for free on 116 000 for advice and support.
"We welcome new friends and fellow campaigners, and are really looking forward to the day."
Promoted stories
People hoping to volunteer can contact Ms Knebel on firstname.lastname@example.com.
A spokesman added: "Missing People provides free 24-hour confidential support on the number 116 000 for anyone affected by a disappearance. The charity provides help and advice by phone, email, text and online, thanks to support from players of People's Postcode Lottery.
"If you would like to help us support missing people and their loved ones, give £3 by texting SEARCH to 70990. Donations will cost you £3 plus your usual network rate. The charity Missing People will receive at least £2.93 of this amount."

Charity appeal for volunteers' help in missing people search in Walthamstow
It is incredible and almost unbelievable that people can just disappear in such great numbers but I suppose some people just want out of regular society.
The not knowing and uncertainty must be unbearable for families involved and the worse possible nightmare.
Sadly unlike the Maddie case, not everyone has the knowledge, support and financial resources to seek the maximum publicity and this charity can help those in such positions.

INTRODUCING SWAGGIES A simulated business environment for the development and assessment of competencies for learners enrolled in BUSINESS SERVICES COURSES Contents Introduction .......................................................................... 1 How the Simulation Works ................................................... 1 Introducing SWAGGIES .......................................................... 2 Company Profile .................................................................. 2 Products ............................................................................... 2 Mission Statement ............................................................... 2 Key Strategies ...................................................................... 2 Product Range ..................................................................... 3 Store Locations .................................................................... 4 Role of Head Office.............................................................. 4 Organisational Chart ............................................................ 5 Role of Head Office Departments ........................................ 6 Resources built into the Simulation ..................................... 7 About the Teacher Guide ..................................................... 8 Introduction This project is a DET VET in Schools Project. The aim of the project is to provide learners with an effective simulated learning and assessment environment to meet the requirements of units of competency from the Business Services Training Package. SWAGGIES has been developed to meet this need. An overview of SWAGGIES and its operations is shown on the following pages. At this stage of development, tasks within SWAGGIES cover a number of competencies from Certificate II in Business. It is anticipated that as teachers become more familiar with training and assessment within a simulated environment, that competencies from other certificates can be introduced. The SWAGGIES' environment can also be utilised for the development and assessment of qualifications from other Business Services domains. How the Simulation Works Learners Learners become 'employees' of SWAGGIES Head Office. They can be allocated into positions within the following departments: Accounts, Administration, Human Resources, Sales & Marketing - refer to Organisational Chart on page 5. Tasks carried out are relevant to the allocated job role. Teacher Role The teacher assumes the role of the employee's immediate supervisor - refer to Organisational Chart on page 5. The teacher/supervisor assists as would be required in the workplace. A Teacher Guide has been prepared which provides guidance throughout all tasks. Suggested Delivery Strategy It is recommended that the class/learners be kept together during the introductory sessions to enable the teacher and students to become familiar with the simulated environment, then employees (learners) can be allocated into specific job roles. Tasks Tasks generally commence with the employee receiving written instructions from his/her supervisor. The employee will either be required to work independently, or as part of a team. To assist the employee with carrying out tasks, a Task Checklist is provided for each task. Assessing Competence A variety of assessment strategies are used throughout the simulation – observation, questioning, peer assessment, portfolio of work, reflection/self-review. Tasks successfully completed can collectively contribute towards the employee gaining competence in the respective Units. Consistency of Performance The employee should be able to demonstrate consistency of performance by progressively completing a variety of tasks in all four departments. The context of the tasks will vary according to the department however the competency level of the tasks will remain consistent. 8b3f507a-9722-48f8-9cee-723aaa0f424c.doc Introducing Swaggies Page 1 Company Profile SWAGGIES is a growing chain of franchised gift stores retailing authentic Australiana products.

SOPA, PIPA and YOU
If you're a regular internet user, or have been keeping up with the news lately, you may have heard of SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). What you may not realize is the direct impact this proposed bill could have on you personally, if it is eventually passed as a law. Both SOPA and PIPA (Protect IP Act) would allow the government to shut-down, block, and censor websites such as YouTube, Google and WordPress based on user-generated content. For example, if a blog on WordPress.com links to something that could be viewed as an infringement of copyright, the entire WordPress community could be at risk. As a blogger (and regular internet user) I am opposed to these bills being passed. I believe the internet should be a place where individuals can not only express themselves, but have the power to share information with a global community. The internet is a place of freedom, and it should stay that way. SOPA & PIPA will give the United States government power over the internet that they should not have.
Here is a great video explanation of SOPA & PIPA from "Khan Academy" on Youtube:
I urge you to get involved and participate in protesting against SOPA & PIPA. If these bills get passed, you may not have a presence on the internet the same way you do now. Take advantage of what these bills threaten to take away, and use your voice – uncensored.
Google has set up an online petition that you can sign here – https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/
You can also use this page set up by Wikipedia in order to look up your Congressional Representatives – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CongressLookup
"Fight for the Future" has a form you can fill out online that will send a message to Congress – http://americancensorship.org/
The WordPress.com News Blog also posted about the WordPress "Censorship Protest" and how to add a black protest ribbon to your blog – http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/join-our-censorship-protest/
I also suggest that bloggers take a stand and make sure to post about this critical issue and spread the word to their followers.

The biggest problem with GTC is that we can only get free booth (which then
costs something like $100 for power) if we check back at the last minute
and there have been cancellations.
We can't afford (money-wise) to actually plan ahead. :^/

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Today's Threads | 1 November 2011
What I wore to the racetrack on Melbourne Cup day! This could also be titled, what I wore to work today. It was a long day. When I finally arrived home, Mr K took some photos of me sitting at my dressing table. I don't usually need an excuse to dress up, but when I do have one, I take full advantage of it!
Obligatory glass of bubbles…
I thought I would wear the colours of last year's winner, Americain, who unfortunately did not do too well this year. C'est la vie. I wear this combination a lot. As I've said before, I love polka dots, and the red accents make the blue and white in this dress really pop.
A friend to keep me lucky.
I have a rule about wearing hats to the races. I don't wear a hat if I'm working. Somehow, it doesn't seem right. A scarf is an excellent compromise. Its head-wear, but its not a hat!

Art News describes the art world of Bellum as "a lurid battleground where artists, posers, critics, dragons, Internet trolls, and Modernist ghosts fight for their lives"; "a brutal, bacchanalian landscape, patrolled by the ghosts of Modernism and MakerBot robot armies. Abstraction and figuration engage in brutal combat."

How much-ish (very approximate here, very expensive, moderate, quite doo-able) and how major is re-piling a house and what is entailed?
Will the cost of re-piling add value to the property?
How long does it last untill it would need to be done again?
Is this something that should be avoided?
What kind of time frame should one allow?
Any one else had this done or can offer comments?

Bennington plans to remove dam for public safety reasonsBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 05,2013BENNINGTON The town, working with the village of North Bennington, is applying to the state for permission to remove a dam from the Walloomsac River because of safety concerns over the strong current that almost drowned one local man.
Bennington filed an application with the water quality division of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Department of Environmental Conservation because of the proposal to do work within one of the states bodies of water.
The dam, usually called the Henry dam, is in a visible location, near River Road and Murphy Road, and within site of the Burt Henry Covered Bridge.
Dan Monks, Benningtons planning director and zoning administrator, said Friday that officials in both Bennington and North Bennington wanted the dam demolished. The dam spans the river with one end in Bennington and the other in North Bennington.
Monks said the delay had been the complicated issues around seeking permits, but Shelley Stiles, district manager for the Bennington County Conservation District, had taken a leading role in moving the project forward and organizing the various parties involved.
According to Monks, the town and the village will split the costs of pursuing the permits and the in-river work.
North Bennington village leaders have a special interest because of a park thats adjacent to the dam. The area is marked with a sign that identifies the Dangerous Undertow in the Walloomsac at that point but it would be even safer to remove the hazard, Monks pointed out.
The permit application makes reference to at least one person being drowned in the current caused by a scour hole, a hole made by swiftly moving water in which swimmers can be caught and pushed under the waters surface. There is no specific information given about the death and Monks said he didnt know any of the details.
However, Ron Pembroke, a former North Bennington village trustee and local business owner, remembers an incident about 15 years ago. Pembroke got trapped in the water and couldnt get himself out.
I waded in to rescue a dog and I got caught. A fellow by the name of Paul Wallace came by with a clothesline rope and got me out, he said.
The incident basically paralyzed Pembroke until he recovered.
Theyve lost at least one life thats documented there and then my near tragedy and its just a matter of time before theres another one, he said.
Pembroke said he knew that alleviating the danger there had been a longtime goal for village trustees.
At a panel on water issues that took place at Bennington College in April, Brian Fitzgerald, with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources water quality division, said he had spent some time looking at the dam and the possibility of removing it. Fitzgerald said a lot of river experts were in favor of removing as many dams as possible from Vermonts rivers and streams so they could return to their natural state.
Monks said if permits could be obtained the dam removal could be done in June.
Stiles could not be reached for comment on Friday.

Commerce.TV reels in Adelphia
Meeting ever increasing demand for interactive TV, Adelphia cable subscribers will be getting interactive television services from Commerce.TV Adelphia expects to deploy the interactive platform to its digital cable subscribers as part of its standard digital TV package by the end of the year. Adelphia has approximately 5.5 million subscribers.
"I think this is a critical milestone in the development of our company, signing a distribution agreement with major MSOs gives us the distribution we need to be successful," Matt Kay, president and CEO of Commerce.TV, tells CEDaily. "We've worked hard for this for the last two years. We're a pretty cool company. What we're providing is a way for cable ops to get new revenue streams and the applications are pretty neat."
Commerce.TV works with Scientific-Atlanta's Explorer 2000 digital set-top boxes and is also compatible with the Motorola DCT-2000 digital set-top boxes. Subscribers need only the digital cable box and a remote control in order to access Commerce.TV's interactive services - and no extra cash - there is no additional fee for the service.
Commerce.TV expects to sign more distribution agreements, but for the moment is mum on who with. "We're in negotiations with all the top operators, the usual suspects. We expect to get additional distribution for the Commerce.TV," says Kay.
Commerce.TV currently has deployment agreements with Insight Communications, with 1.4 million cable customers including pending acquisitions, combined with 190,000 Susquehanna Communications subscribers and 170,000 Blue Ridge Communications customers, raising the total basic subscriber audience to 7.25 million.

Environmental and Occupational Health Assessment Program Application Payments
In 1986, the EPA promulgated the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), which covers all K-12 grade schools and regulates the inspection, abatement, and management of ACM. In 1988, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH)-Consumer and Environmental Health and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -National Risk Management Research Laboratory began assessing the success of these programs. This bulletin contains information that is a direct result of the studies conducted under this program and provides information regarding asbestos management programs in schools. It will assist schools that have conducted asbestos abatement, plan to perform asbestos abatement, or who continue asbestos operations and maintenance (O&M) activities. You should retain this bulletin with your asbestos management plan (AMP) for future reference.
The Indoor Environments Program (IEP) of the NJDOH and the federal EPA conducted a series of studies at 20 asbestos abatement sites in 17 New Jersey schools over a four year period. The studies examined asbestos abatement and management activities required under AHERA. The activities evaluated included the observation and assessment of abatement projects, documentation of AMP activities, air monitoring which determine airborne asbestos concentrations, and visual inspections.
The studies indicated that improperly performed asbestos removal, faulty O&M activities, or ineffective asbestos management programs, can cause exposure to asbestos hazards. The principal conclusions are that:
These findings demonstrate that school officials must increase their understanding of asbestos issues and improve the oversight of asbestos abatement and management programs.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber which was used in many building materials for fireproofing, insulation, and decorative purposes, as well as in siding, shingles, and vinyl tiles. Although the mere presence of asbestos in a building is not a hazard, asbestos materials may become damaged or deteriorate over time and release asbestos fibers into the air. Breathing high levels of these fibers can result in an increased risk of lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
The EPA and NJDOH recommend a proactive, in-place management program whenever ACM is present in buildings. Removal is required, however, when it is necessary to prevent significant exposure to airborne asbestos during building demolition, renovation, or maintenance. The ultimate goal of every asbestos abatement project is to eliminate, or reduce, to the greatest extent possible, any actual or potential hazard which airborne asbestos may present to building occupants.
The removal of ACM, when appropriate, can be an effective management practice. However, school officials must be aware that improper removal can cause elevated airborne asbestos levels. For example, if ACM is not properly cleaned up, the remaining debris can cause elevated airborne asbestos levels immediately after and/or years after the abatement activity. These studies document that 70% of abatement sites were found to contain residual debris after clearance monitoring. Some asbestos abatement contractors did not properly contain the abatement site, effectively operate the air filtration equipment, or remove all the ACM. Attention to detail in cleaning practices, which helps to assure that all asbestos debris has been abated, was also incomplete.
Often, the consulting firms conducting clearance air monitoring and inspections often did not fully understand and follow state and federal sampling and analytical requirements. These firms must ensure that all debris is cleaned from the abated area by conducting a thorough, standardized visual inspection. The abated area must be sufficiently dry and have good air circulation during clearance air monitoring. Consultants must follow AHERA sampling and analytical protocols.
AHERA requires school officials to designate a person responsible for ensuring the management of ACM. All school buildings must be inspected for the presence of ACM and an AMP developed for the control of the materials identified. Additionally, all schools must maintain and update their AMP regarding abatements, periodic surveillance, and reinspection information. An alarming 76% of the schools studied had inaccuracies in the AMP relating to material identification or location. Unaware that asbestos material was present, maintenance workers performing routine activities, which caused elevated airborne asbestos levels in the areas where the work was performed. Records of O&M activities involving ACM must be kept up-to-date and identified in the AMP. It is the school administration's responsibility to ensure that staff and outside contractors working in the vicinity of any ACM, reference the AMP prior to performing their activities. Asbestos management programs must be carefully developed and implemented to minimize the building occupant's exposure to asbestos.
As a result of these studies, the following actions are recommended:

As always, many rumors are running wild about a sting debut in the WWE.
I think the best way for all involved would be the following;
Firstly Sting must sign maybe a limited schedule to keep him in wwe for 2 wrestlemania's and have him debut the night after The Royal Rumble 2014 Kane in the ring cutting a Promo as a babyface. Lights go out, fog surrounds the ring and ramp
In the sport of professional wrestling, there have been many wrestlers to cross promotions throughout the years in the hopes of bettering themselves and their careers. It is a trend that has been active as far back as Ric Flair jumping from NWA to WWE, and to a lesser degree, Shane Douglas going from NWA to ECW. While in the midst of being practical, these moves proved to be both necessary and worthy,
The Icon. The Enigma. The man called Sting. What a career this legend has had. Clash of Champions going 45 minutes with Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title. Finally beating Flair at Starrcade for that same title. The bull-rope matches with Vader. His epic feuds with the Four Horsemen. I can go on and on. He spent over a decade as the Franchise of WCW before its demise. Vanished into
Hey Everyone,
I've been rather quiet on the boards as of late, but as always, I've been watching and evaluating.
The post-Summerslam scenario was one of the most intriguing and hopeful landscapes I've seen present itself in recent memory. John Cena, the WWE's biggest asset, was knowingly going away on a multiple month hiatus. Part-timers like Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho,
This is my first blog and I hope it wont be my last. Unless that killer shark gets loose again I think I will be fine.
I have stood in shadows for far too long watching all the wrestling I can endure and I can endure no more.
There is one thing that is bugging me so very much and that is the lack of events outside of the ring.
Now I don't mean CM Punk visiting ball
The last time I wrote anything about WWE was the Monday Night Raw after August's SummerSlam.
To give you all an idea of how long that is in the WWE Universe, I have a few examples of changes which have occurred since my last blog to throw your way:
- Daniel Bryan is now a two-time WWE Champion (that's right, he now has two short-lived claims to the title),
- John
I couldn't help myself. Although I said my last blog was the final entry in the fun facts series, this one is actually a prequel, so I didn't lie. These are pretty much left-overs from my previous blogs. This set of trivia is mostly based on older, rare facts from back in the day. I'm sure some of these won't be shockers to you long-time wrestling fans. I've lost count here, but hopefully

After graduating from AU in 2007, we wanted to find a seminary that we could both attend. Nothing compared to the Anderson University School of Theology in terms of affordability or housing options. Plus, we already felt connected to the campus. It was a great decision to come here. The faculty is so passionate, and we've felt encouragement from our peers in the seminary community. We feel much more prepared to pursue our calling into ministry.
