(1) The term "employee" means—
(B) an employee in or under the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, the Botanic Garden, and the Library of Congress, for whom a basic administrative workweek is established under section 6101 (a)(5) of this title; and
(2) The term "employee" does not include—
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), an individual who otherwise would be excluded from the definition of employee shall be deemed to be an employee for purposes of this section if the individual's employing agency so elects, under guidelines in regulations promulgated by the Office of Personnel Management under subsection (d)(2).
(1) The Office of Personnel Management may prescribe regulations, subject to the approval of the President, necessary for the administration of this section insofar as this section affects employees in or under an Executive agency.

Frequently asked questions
Data Entry > General
- Where
can I fill in the data for a chart?
If you haven't entered any birth data on astro.com before, it is best to start by clicking on Free Horoscopes at the top of our homepage. On this selection page, please follow the instructions in the yellow box on the right. The link Please Click Here takes you to the data entry form.
If you have registered a user profile before, you can log in to your registered profile on the My Astro page (top menu bar), and click the link Add new Astro data.
In the data entry form, fill out all the input fields and click the "continue" button to save your data.
- How can I enter
a new set of birth data to my list?
There are two easy ways:
a) If you are on any horoscope output page in the "Free Horoscopes" section, e.g. the Personal Daily Horoscope, use the link "Add a New Person" at the top of this page, right next to the GO button.
b) Go to "My Astro" and use the link "Add new Astro data".
- How
accurate must I be?
The more accurate you can be, the better. There are a number of techniques which require precision up to the minute. Even a computerised interpretation can change entirely from one minute to the next, for example if the Ascendant changes signs.
But these occasions are relatively rare, and usually it is sufficient to have precision of about 15 minutes for the birth time and around 30 kilometres for the place of birth.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- Two Traverse City men were killed Tuesday morning in a chain reaction crash on southbound U.S. 131 near Post Drive.
Around 8 a.m., Michigan State Police say a Ford pick-up truck slammed into several vehicles that were stopped due to a traffic back-up. Witnesses say the driver, a 57-year-old Sparta man, was speeding and did not brake.
The impact caused a chain reaction crash involving seven vehicles. John Pomeroy, 49, and William Kochis, 30, both of Traverse City, were killed.
The 57-year-old Sparta driver and several others were hospitalized with minor injuries.
Southbound U.S. 131 was closed for several hours Tuesday morning.

- OMG! Near Naked Popcorn is GREAT!
This was brought over by one of my daughter's on Mother's Day! My absolute best treat in ages! No guilt, delicious popcorn. I have been munching away while watching NBA playoffs every night, and, was distressed to come to the end of my huge bag. So, with my trusty IPAD I followed the Popcornopolis.com website and ordered—so happy I could do thus! I am 76 and excited over popcorn!

- Jaw-Dropping
I love my popcorn just plain with a little salt so I was delighted to discover I could get that here!! I ordered this case and just received it yesterday. When I opened the box, my jaw dropped!!! I had no idea the bags were so big (size of a toddler). I just started to laugh out loud! I'm a single woman with no children so I get all of this just for me? I will take some to work and share with my co-working friends. It is absolutely delicious and one day I will order more. It will take me a while to devour it. Yum, yum!

My popcorn just arrived today and I can't put it down! The Nearly Naked is a definite keeper and a new favorite! It melts in your mouth and isn't too salty. It's a new go to snack treat and you can't beat the price! Oh did I mention the bags are huge! Our entire family are Popcornopolis-oholics!

- Nearly naked is called "crackcorn" in our house!
We started getting this at Costco and have been very frustrated the past two visits to Tucson as they are always OUT of this wonderful popcorn. I love popcorn and this is the BEST I've ever had. I have gotten many others to purchase it. I live 60 miles from Tucson and I'm totally frustrated with the inability to get any more from CostCo. Is it your company that can't meet the demand of the popcorn addicts of the world or is Costco just not carrying enough? We call it "crackcorn" as it is totally addictive.
Popcornopolis says: Costco only carries a certain amount of our product during roadshows, it must be popular in Tuscon! But you can ALWAYS order as much of our delicious popcorn as your heart desires on our website! www.popcornopois.com

- Excellent rate by 73 yr old popcorn consumer

The very best tasting popcorn! I too, like many others, bought my first bag at Costco, and now they are out! They said they might get it in before Christmas, but they didn't sound very positive. I am ordering a case online today!

Easily the best popcorn I have EVER had. I absolutely love popcorn. It's my favorite snack above all things and this is the BEST without a doubt. I love it sooooo much. I bought mine at costco and would never dream of going to costco for one item but I will now. I recommend it to all my popcorn loving friends as well. Keep it plain and simple and it's amazing!

- Best Popcorn Ever
This is the best tasting, least salty, freshest tasting store bought popped popcorn I have ever had. I tasted it at our local Costco, bought a bag, loved it. Went back to Costco yesterday and they don't have it any more. Very disappointing.
Popcornopolis says: Order it year around on our website! www.popcornopolis.com

- Excellent popcorn
This popcorn is delicious. I get it from my Costco. It's a healthy snack if you can stop from eating the whole bag. It's much better than when I buy it from the Popcornpolis stores. Not as fresh? I'm not sure what the difference is other than the taste.

This wonderful snack saves my life and my diet on a daily basis!!! When I need something crunchy, I can now satisfy my craving without guilt... no more chips for me!!! I am now a Popcornopoiis groupy, and 53 pounds ( and counting) thinner!!! Thank you for such a delightfully satisfying lifesaver!!!

- Addicting
The best popcorn ever!!! I don't understand why Costco doesn't carry it regularly; I'm crossing my fingers they'll get it back in again very soon, or I may be forced to order it online.
Popcornopolis says: Many Costco stores DO carry our products regularly. If there's a particular item you'd like to see in your local store, make sure to let the store manager know. Also, see popcornopolis.com/roadshows for our roadshow and tasting schedule.

I absolutely love this popcorn! Got it at Costco the first time, and then when our local one didn't have it anymore I ordered on-line. Then my Dad who lives in Arizona bought me some and when I went to visit I picked them up. I am addicted!

- Awesome product. Great healthy snack.
This product is awesome. I have been looking for a healthy snack and this is perfect. Very tasty, fresh and even made from GMO free corn. Also a plus your using sea salt and healthy coconut oil. More companies should follow your lead. Thank you.
Product rating
- Great
Really good popcorn. It goes so fast though because everyone in my family loves it! There's no way it's only 33 calories though because it's popped in coconut oil.
Popcornopolis Says: Actually, it's TRUE! Just 33 calories per cup, but we're pretty sure you won't be able to stop after just one cup!

This is the best popcorn I have ever tasted. I bought all five bags that my Costco had and then drove to another Costco out of my area to buy 5 more bags. Now all the Costco's within my area have no more. Nice to know I can buy them here. Thank you.

- How to Read a Study Record
Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C (NPC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with a wide clinical spectrum and variable age of onset. Classically, children with NPC demonstrate neurological dysfunction with cerebellar ataxia (an inability to coordinate balance, gait, extremity and eye movements), dysarthria (difficulty speaking), seizures, vertical gaze palsy (ability to move eyes in the same direction) motor impairment, dysphagia (trouble swallowing), psychotic episodes, and progressive dementia. There is no curative treatment for NPC and it is a lethal disorder. The purpose of this protocol is to obtain both baseline and rate of progression data on a clinical and biochemical markers that may later be used as outcome measures in a clinical trial. Specifically, this study will examine and characterize the longitudinal progression of neurocognitive symptoms of NPC with the goal of identifying early markers of disease progression that may be utilized in later trials to evaluate treatment efficacy.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
ATOMIC's new Worldcup Classic and Worldcup Skate are two of the lightest skis ever to compete in the Nordic World Cup. These premium models are revolutionary in terms of their ultra-lightweight and boast high torsional rigidity as well as dynamic longitudinal flex for explosive power transmission. And it's all thanks to the Featherlight construction.
The secret is Nomex, an ultra-light and yet extremely durable material used in the Featherlight's highly complex honeycomb construction. The Nomex honeycomb construction lends the Worldcup Classic and Worldcup Skate considerable stability and a dynamic longitudinal flex, which in combination with the Ultra High Densolite sidewalls delivers explosive power transmission on cross-country trails. Where power is translated into extra-long glide phases by the World Cup base (Base Index: 5000). So that athletes have the perfect ski for all conditions, ATOMIC offers the Worldcup Skate as a Hard Track and a Soft Track version. The Hard Track delivers optimum stability on highly compact skate trails – thanks to long contact points and a World Cup double-grooved base. The ski tips are also designed so that they will not start to vibrate even on the hardest of terrains. The Worldcup Skate Soft Track comes into its own on soft snow, its specific flex with short contact points and narrow sidecut delivering extra speed. The new Worldcup Classic and two new Worldcup Skate models with ultra-light honeycomb construction deliver unrivalled performance, making them the ideal choice for ambitious leisure cross-country skiers and racers.

HEUVELTON - A revamped village website is online and in the process of being loaded with local information.
The purpose was updating the website to make it not only more user friendly but to have more information [village residents] can access, Mayor Barbara A. Lashua said.
Village Clerk Anna M. Hurst said she hopes to have links to the villages newsletter on the website, as well as information about community events, job openings, FOIL requests, maps and information about sewer and water rates. The website should serve as a community bulletin board, Mrs. Hurst said.
Mrs. Lashua said the website will also likely serve as a place for residents to view local laws and information about trash and brush cleanup.
The site could also become a place for residents to keep track of what the village board does, Mrs. Lashua said, as they post minutes online.
It seems to make sense, Mrs. Lashua said of the upgrade.
Citing the prevalance of computer access, Mrs. Lashua said Heuveltons adoption of a more user-friendly website is an important part of keeping residents in the loop.
We have several people that leave the village for the winter and now they can keep track of whats going on in the village as well, she said.
Mrs. Hurst said the website is hosted through North Shore Solutions, Potsdam.
Theyre available at any time for me to give them a call, she said.
North Shore Solutions charges $455 a year to host the website and trained Mrs. Hurst so she can continue adding to the site, Mrs. Hurst said.
The village website is at www.heuveltonny.com.

Polychromatic is probably one of my favourite new releases recently, it's so simple, but it's highly addictive.
Latest News
Valve look like they will become the ultimate trolls with a new leak. It looks like they included some files directly related to Half-Life 3 in a recent Dota 2 update.
Civilization: Beyond Earth is a sci fi-themed entry in the much-beloved and long-running Civilization series. It came out late last year to mixed reception and now has seen the release of its first expansion. I decided to check out Rising Tide to see if it managed to recapture some of that classic Civ magic.
This weekend Storm United should finally have a new update, and the developers have told us it will include Linux too.
I'm here once again to inform you that a Friday Livestream is here once again and, as always, we will spend a couple of hours playing games and talking about whatever comes to mind. You can naturally watch the mayhem as it happens live!
Oh boy, Virtual Programming sure our busy! Overlord & Overlord 2 are also on their way to Linux. I can't wait!
With earlier news about another Saints Row game, a member of the community sent word that Virtual Programming have updated their website to include Saints Row 2 & 3 as in development.
Okay, now we are being totally spoilt by Deep Silver. Another Saints Row game looks like it will come to Linux, and this time it's Saints Row: Gat out of Hell.
Kevin Cole, the developer of the successfully Kickstarted action puzzle platformer Project Maiden, strikes again with a new crowdfunding campaign for a totally different second project: Haque, a retro-looking old-school roguelike RPG.
Recently I asked some opinions about us organizing a game jam here on GOL and I received a bunch of positive feedback and I will consider that a green light to go ahead with our plans. The event will hopefully start on October 19th.
Epistory - Typing Chronicles is a rather unique looking atmospheric action/adventure game, and the developers have confirmed a Linux version is coming.
Templar Battleforce is a turn based human vs alien strategy game with RPG elements, and so far it does seem to be quite interesting.
Read Only Memories is a story-focused point-and-click with a diverse cast of characters, set in a cyberpunk future San Francisco.
The Beginner's Guide is the new game from The Stanley Parable creator Davey Wreden, and it was released for Linux on Steam last week, along with the Windows and Mac versions.
After a pretty long hiatus related to my school work, I have finally returned to reclaim the GOL Cast throne. This time we'll be taking a look at Polychromatic, a recently released indie twin-stick shooter.

The damage that the sun can cause to the skin is well documented. From sunburn to premature aging, skin can be harmed by powerful UV rays. However, many people prefer their skin to look tanned rather than pale. Bronzed skin has a healthy glow, which can increase confidence. To get a natural tan without damaging your skin, use Celazome Self Tanners. These fabulous self-tanning products allow the skin to achieve a sun-kissed appearance without the need to bake in the sun. Celazome Self Tanners hydrate the skin while they add a natural-looking color, leaving it supple and silky to the touch.
Advanced skin care technology enables Celazome Self Tanners to produce long-lasting results. Time-release ingredients are gradually delivered to the skin, continually renewing the golden glow. While other self-tanning products may fade as the skin exfoliates, Celazome Self Tanners work in the deeper layers of the epidermis, ensuring that they continue to supply color even as the skin renews itself. The result is a long-lasting, natural color, without the risks of sun damage and skin cancer that are associated with sunbathing.
It is possible to achieve a healthy, sun-kissed glow without exposing your skin to harmful UVA and UVB rays? Celazome Self Tanners provide a natural color, without exposing skin to the hazards of premature aging, cellular damage, and skin cancer. While allowing you to protect the skin, advanced skin care technology works at the deeper layers of the epidermis to ensure that the color lasts for a long time and appears completely natural. No one needs know that your healthy, sun-kissed glow is anything other than natural.
To achieve a golden glow, apply Celazome Inside Tan to skin that has been thoroughly exfoliated. Dihydroxyacetone darkens the skin while shea butter, lecithin, sesame seed oil, jojoba oil, and glycerin hydrate, soften, and smooth the skin. Use long strokes and work both horizontally and vertically to achieve an even coverage. Use less self-tanner around the elbows, knees, and ankles, to avoid a darker tan developing on the dry skin that can be located in these areas of the body. Allow the lotion to dry completely before dressing. Hands should be washed immediately after applying the lotion to avoid dark color forming on the palms. Use the self-tanner regularly to maintain the desired color. Due to its long-lasting formulation, this product will maintain a natural, golden glow when used as little as once a week. As this self-tanning product does not contain an SPF, it should be followed by an effective sunscreen if skin is to be exposed to the sun.

The inexorable march of winter each year seems to bring a collective groan from WNYers, but winter need not be a season of discontent!
There are lots of fascinatiing things to do when the snow falls, all you really need is a little willpower and some warm clothing. A great way to experience the snowy landscape is on a pair of snowshoes ...Not only are they a great way to get around, but they provide a link to our past.
Scott Lembitz is a Naturalist with Earth Spirit Educational Services." If you put on a pair of traditional snowshoes, you can go backs hundreds upon hundreds of years , to the Native American people who've been walking on snowshoes for centuries here, really an essential to their survival in the winter. " Sandy Geffner is Earth Spirit's founder." It all begins with a willingness to go out and to be in nature, to be in winter, and to be open to the possibilities."
And those possibilities expand considerably when you're searching for them ! Once you're out on those snowshoes, take a look around you...there may be a wealth of knowledge lying just at your feet, as Lembitz explains."
We've got a width that seems to be approximately an inch and a half wide by about an inch and three quarters, that's for an individual footprint, showing claws, so we've got a canine. So in our neighborhood the only option is going to be the Red Fox, so the Red Fox decided to take a quick lope through the woods here, and who knows, if we follow this track line here maybe we can determine what had this animal moving so quickly ! Perhaps there's food close by, perhaps there's somebody else in the neighborhood...or perhaps she wast just in a hurry ! "
Winter is the perfect season to learn how to track wildlife! It's much easier to track in snow than in most other environments,and learning to track is simple and inexpensive. Other than a field guide to help identify the tracks, all you really need is some patience and a keen eye !
Geffner tells 2 The Outdoors how easy it can be." If you have a ruler or a measuring tape and charts like that, that's a wonderful way to begin the process. But really, it's a lesson in patience and perseverance, and continued exposure. That's how you become a decent tracker."
Following animal tracks doesn't necessarily end with the trail, either...sometimes it's just the beginning, says Lembitz." Your next step, depending on what you like to do, spend time there, get your binoculars out, watch the animals, learn of their behavior, that's when you get the intimate details."
And in a region that must face the yearly inevitabilty of being snowbound for a few months, what better way to make peace with the season, as well as learning about the world around us.
Says Lembitz." I don't think anybody's going to be disappointed who picks up a pair of snowshoes and gets out and has some fun." Geffner agrees. "Everything we do as Naturalists is really designed to encourage people to make friends with various aspects of Nature, and to find yourself through this educational process as a part of that nature, so that all of us can better take care of this world around us."
Earth Spirit offers a wide variety of outdoor programs throughout the year. For more information, visit their website at www.earthspiritedu.org

I need to brush up on IPsec on a 2.6 kernel. I haven't touched IPsec (on Linux) since 2.4. I used OpenSWAN back then. The "Quick Fix Notebook" (and the home networking website) talk about Open|FreeSWAN, but a few people I talked to said that the KAME IPsec stack (and racoon) can now be used.
So before I start down the wrong path can someone tell me which is preferred? Do either already come as part of the kernel (or a distribution?)
Why both? Was one deprecated or something?
I've used both (KAME on BSD), don't have a favoriate. I just want to use what the majority is using these days on 2.6. I guessing that following the crowd so to speack will make it easier to get help setting up config files etc. with other vendors gear.

rear axle housing grease fittings
Some previous owner of my servi-car has lost all the rear axle's grease fittings. So little help is needed: what kind of fittings there should be?
You didn't specify what year that you have but most parts manual will have them listed for your particular year.
Harley-Davidson was particularly fond of using 5/16x32 threaded grease fittings. A non standard size.
From your post I get the impression you are not in America. Where are you?

Eldest (Inheritance Cycle #02)by Christopher Paolini
Staff Pick
In his online newsletter Alagaesia, Christopher Paolini shares, "Writing Eldest was one of the hardest things I've ever done, as was writing Eragon, although in different ways. I pushed myself with Eldest, both in terms of the characters, the story, and what I attempted with my technique....
All the hard work and determination really paid off — Eldest delivers! The deft young author's writing has matured giving the second story in the trilogy more depth, as well as successfully building further anticipation for the conclusion of the series. I'm not letting out any spoilers... Just get the book. Read it. Love it!
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"This phone-book size second helping in Paolini's planned Inheritance Trilogy picks up with the battle-scarred but conquering hero, first introduced in Eragon, and his dragon, Saphira. As the novel opens, the two are neck-deep in political intrigue over choosing a successor to replace Ajihad, the Varden's slain leader. The scope of the story expands when Eragon and Arya, the elfin ambassador he not-so-secretly lusts after, head to Ellesmra so he can complete his training as a Rider. Eragon's cousin, Roran, makes a more perilous journey, leading the townspeople of Carvahall in pursuit of the villain Galbatorix and his cronies, who have kidnapped Roran's fiance — hoping to bait Eragon and Saphira. The narrative shifts occasionally to follow the troubles plaguing Nasuada, Ajihad's daughter, who now leads the Varden. Fans of the first volume will find even more of the same here: a wealth of descriptive detail, mythic archetypes and prolonged battle sequences. Here, the inspiration sometimes seems less Tolkien than Star Wars (Eragon says 'Yes, Master' frequently). The most affecting element remains the tender relationship between dragon and Rider, and teens will empathize as the object of Eragon's affection (repeatedly) spurns him, his teacher humbles him and he struggles with questions about God and vegetarianism. Readers who persevere are rewarded with walloping revelations in the final pages, including the meaning of the title and the identity of the red dragon on the cover. The story leaves off with a promise — To Be Continued. Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Eldest roars along from beginning to end. The author's writing has matured and he has developed great skill at layering his themes as they build to an exciting climax." BookReporter.com
"Suffused with purple prose and faux-archaic language, this patchwork of dialogue, characters and concepts pulled whole cloth from the fantasy canon holds together remarkably well....Derivative but exciting." Kirkus Reviews
"Not that Eldest is all bad (although in places it is very bad). It's a good story, if way too familiar....The high points of Eldest are a little higher than Eragon; the low points, unfortunately, are just as low." The Boston Globe
"The plot and characters are largely derivative, not just of Tolkien but of Anne McCaffrey, Ursula K. Le Guin and others...and the prose is often hackneyed and in need of pruning....Eldest isn't extraordinary, though it has its extraordinary moments." The Washington Post
"Paolini's lush writing and close attention to detail make this epic flow effortlessly, leaving readers to wait impatiently again for the third and final book of the trilogy." KLIATT
"[R]emarkable...[an] intricate plot and meticulously built fantasy world....The story is richly detailed in parts, logically laying down elements of magic and folklore....This is a series worth reading..." Children's Literature
"Aside from a tendency to wax flowery...and a sad lack of humor, Christopher Paolini largely delivers on the plot of his followup to the bestseller Eragon....The book is too long by about 200 pages, but Paolini has created a likable hero, and fantasy buffs should enjoy Eldest... (Grade: C+)" Christian Science Monitor
"I have not for many a year read anything so mind-numbingly silly as Eldest....Malarkey like this might be forgiven if it were hitched to a fast-moving narrative. But Paolini dawdles, with long, self-indulgent asides about the proper components of a dwarfish bow... (Grade: D+)" Entertainment Weekly
"Once again, the expected fantasy elements are well in place, and the characters and their relationships continue to develop nicely. The ending promises an even more cataclysmic battle ahead." Booklist
"Eldest shows literary growth but is bogged down by inconsistent pacing and an overwrought, archaic style....It's a fine world to escape into. One wishes only that it were grander." Los Angeles Times
Surpassing its popular prequel Eragon, this second volume in the Inheritance trilogy follows solidly in the tradition of the classic heroic quest fantasy, with the predictable cast of dwarves, elves, and dragons — but also including some imaginatively creepy creatures of evil.
Now in paperback — the #1 New York Times bestselling second volume in the Inheritance trilogy follows Eragon as he and Ellesmera travel to the land of the elves for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider.
Darkness falls...despair abounds...evil reigns...
Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn't know whom he can trust.
Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle — one that might put Eragon in even graver danger.
Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life...
About the Author
Christopher Paolini began writing the Inheritance trilogy when he graduated from high school at 15 — and became a bestselling author at 19 when Eragon was published by Knopf. He lives in Montana.

Video: Two Killed in North Tonawanda House Fire
Video: NT Fire Officials ID victims in Fatal Fire
NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. - Firefighters say two people died Monday night in a house fire on 3rd Avenue near Oliver Street in North Tonawanda.
It started shortly before 10 p.m. When police arrived at the scene, they were told there were people trapped inside.
Firefighters entered and found the two victims near the two entrances of the home.
The victims were identified as Dorothy Burns, 84, and her daughter Kathleen Watson, 62.
Rescuers say there was a lot of clutter in the home, and they initially had a difficult time getting through the door.
First responders performed CPR on the pair, but one person was pronounced dead at the scene. The other was pronounced dead at DeGraff Memorial Hospital.
There is still no word on what caused the fire.
Neighbors tell 2 On Your Side's Aaron Saykin they heard a loud bang when the fire started, but fire officials couldn't confirm.

A little of this, a little of that …
The beauty of this profession is that you can write something one day only to revisit said subject matter(s) a few days later with some additional thoughts/reflections. Disclaimer: both articles subject to further review appeared in Saturday's print edition.
The piece pertaining to the Tolman and Woonsocket football programs moving up to Division I ranks starting next season got me thinking on how the Interscholastic League goes about its realignment process. For football, the RIIL chose to go back to the previous eight seasons – starting in 2004 and ending with the just-completed 2011 campaign – to determine 70 percent of the equation (the remaining 30 is based on each school's male enrollment that was compiled in 2010).
Naturally each win is weighed differently with a Division I team earning significantly more than a team in Div. IV. That's understandable. What is somewhat peculiar is that during this eight-year window, many teams have changed divisions, thus accruing different figures that can distort the idea of a leveled playing field when time comes to do the math.
For example, Woonsocket spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons in Division III before moving to Division II in 2005. St. Raphael was a Division I school from 2004-09 before dropping down to Division II in 2010. Burrillville competed in Division III in 2004 and again in 2005 before competing in Division II from 2006-09 before returning to Div. III in 2010.
Bottom line? Eight years is simply too long of a stretch to take into account. Officials should look into condensing the time frame down to four years, which would provide more of accurate reflection of where a team stands at that particular moment. That in turn might allow teams to be placed in a division that gives them the best chance to be competitive.
Here's an additional thought on Lincoln native Ryan O'Dell being redshirted for his freshman year at URI. Dale O'Dell, Ryan's father, mentioned that the NCAA launched its investigations into his son's transcript while Ryan was in the midst of participating in fall baseball at Rhody.
Why did it take so long for the NCAA to step in and do so after Ryan had begun his freshman year at the university? One school of thought suggests that the NCAA spends most of the summer sifting through transcript issues related to football players that all the other sports automatically get pushed to the back burner. Thinking all is kosher, non-football collegiate athletes go along thinking that nothing is wrong – that is until the NCAA bangs on the door.
Ryan O'Dell's predicament is not that all different from the clouds of uncertainty freshman Kiwi Gardner found himself engulfed in at Providence College. The NCAA started to dig into Gardner's transcript mere days after college teams around the country received the green light to start practicing in earnest. Gardner's situation remained unresolved until early December when the NCAA deemed him a nonqualifier, meaning he cannot play or practice this season.
Ryan O'Dell was ruled a partial qualifier, though he can sit on the bench and participate in pre-game infield/hitting drills. To find this out after school started speaks volumes about the NCAA needing to speed up the process as it relates to determining the eligibility of student-athletes.
Have to feel for Stanford place-kicker Jordan Williamson, whose two missed kicks came back to haunt Stanford in Monday's Fiesta Bowl. Paging Scott Norwood …
In a text message received Sunday, Warwick native and relief pitcher Dan Wheeler mentioned that there's nothing to report regarding his free agent status.
Kudos goes out to colleague Eric Benevides for his coverage of Mount St. Charles' game at Fenway Park on Monday. Not only did Eric write a sidebar and a game story, but he also provided the pretty pictures that helped capture the scene for what transpired. Hard working, indeed!

The first is a deep, rich lightweight teal wool purchased at Mood 2 falls ago.
I might use this to make an altered version of The Perfect Dress pattern (McCall's 5753, now sadly OOP), changing the skirt from a pencil to a flare, like this Elie Saab dress. But in teal.
My second teal textile is a thick Vera Wang boucle, purchased from fabric.com during its $1.95/yard sale last year.
I would like to make a collarless winter topcoat with this fabric, like the original Vera Wang coat this fabric was used for. For this project I might use Burda 9-2011-103, from the new September issue, sans the tri-tier collar:
Could we make teal the new black? Really, what color won't teal work with? It would happily marry brown, maroon, lavender, navy, mustard. As proof I present to you this Lela Rose multi-color jacket/blouse/skirt combination, and rest my case:
Will you be at the New York City Shopping Day (via Pattern Review) this Saturday? I am going to be a naughty bird and attend, despite having taken the train into the city for MPB Day two weekends ago, and despite having a bajillion things to do around the new house. Both Metro Textiles and Elliot Berman, normally closed on the weekends, are opening especially for the group, and I just can't resist!

Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in GRAVITY, a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón (CHILDREN OF MEN).
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring.
But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue.
As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

EPA is currently evaluating the potential for vapor intrusion in buildings overlying the shallow groundwater contamination area. Additionally, the Fourth Five Year Review is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 30, 2015. See below for the latest information and reports.
On this page
Description and History
NPL Listing History
NPL Status: Final
Proposed Date: 06/24/88
Final Date: 02/21/90
Deleted Date:
Hewlett-Packard manufactured optoelectronic equipment on this 10-acre site from 1962 to 1986. In 1981, at least 300 gallons of waste solvents leaked from an underground storage tank. The company excavated the tank and approximately 100 cubic yards of contaminated soil in 1981 and transported the materials to a hazardous waste disposal facility. Since 1982, the company has been pumping and treating contaminated groundwater from the shallow, chemically affected, aquifer. Five municipal backup supply wells draw water from a deeper aquifer located within 3 miles of the site. The nearest residential areas are located approximately 1/8 of a mile northeast of the facility.
Contaminants and Risks
Contaminated Media
- Groundwater
- Soil and Sludges
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected in groundwater under the tank area and in the soils sampled from the former tank location. Potential health risks include accidentally ingesting or coming into direct contact with contaminated groundwater or soil. Chemicals in the shallow aquifer have migrated off site.
Who is Involved
This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
Investigation and Cleanup Activities
This site is being addressed in two stages: immediate actions and a long-term remedial phase focusing on cleanup of the entire site.
Initial Actions
Immediate Actions: In addition to the tank and soil excavation activities conducted in 1981, Hewlett-Packard excavated an additional 810 cubic yards of soil around the former tank area in 1987. Pumping and treating contaminated groundwater has been underway since 1982.
Remedy Selected
Entire Site: In 1989, under State oversight, Hewlett- Packard initiated an investigation to determine the nature and extent of contamination remaining at the site and to identify alternative cleanup remedies. The investigation was completed and a final cleanup remedy was selected in 1995. The remedy includes groundwater extraction and treatment, and soil vapor extraction and treatment.
Cleanup Results to Date
The excavation and disposal of the storage tank and contaminated soil and the continuing treatment of contaminated groundwater have reduced the potential for exposure to hazardous materials at the Hewlett-Packard (620-640 Page Mill Road) site.
Vapor Intrusion Study Overview
The Third Five Year Review completed in September 2010 concluded the following:
- Although Hewlett-Packard has evaluated the vapor intrusion potential in the past to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, recent changes in the evaluation methods (primarily the adoption of a multiple lines of evidence approach) require additional analysis of the vapor intrusion pathway for certain portions of the Site.
- All other exposure pathways that could result in unacceptable risks are being controlled, and institutional controls are preventing exposure to, or the ingestion of, contaminated groundwater.
- The groundwater monitoring program in the Off-Property Study Area should be expanded to characterize the extent of TCE contamination in the A1U, A1, and A2 Zones.
- Additionally, in the Off-Property Study Area, the vapor intrusion exposure pathway should be re-evaluated within approximately 18 months.
- A Five-Year Review Addendum should be completed at the conclusion of the vapor intrusion exposure pathway report.
Vapor Intrusion Study Results to Date
To assess any risks to indoor air as a result of vapor intrusion (VI) from the site, a VI study has been ongoing since 2012, which has included 34 single-family residences, six multi-family buildings and eight commercial buildings. All of the single-family residences were offered testing and 14 of the residents requested that their homes be tested. No detectable levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) - the site contaminant of concern (COC) - were found. Testing of the multi-family residences found no evidence of vapor intrusion occurring into living spaces. Sampling of commercial properties is ongoing.
Additional Information
The sampling is being broken up into three phases: phase 1 - single-family homes; phase 2 - multi-family residences; and phase 3 - commercial buildings. Phase 2 and Phase 3 sampling is currently ongoing.
Each multi-family building in the study area was evaluated and tested. Prior to testing, EPA and Stantec, the consultant to HP and Varian, conducted a pre-testing walk-through for each multi-family building, where a photoionization detector capable of low parts per billion (ppb) detection was used to determine if there were preferential pathways requiring testing. All potential conduits for vapors were evaluated, and EPA determined where the canisters would be placed for indoor air testing. Samples were collected from elevator shafts, next to sumps, in areas in garages with low airflow, and near cracks in the slabs. Potential confounding indoor air sources that could result in false positive data were identified that should be removed or contained prior to testing.
All of the results from the indoor air testing in apartments and hallways came back non-detect for TCE.
There were some low TCE results in two of the underground garages, but all below action levels. Results for the buildings' 19 garages ranged from 0.65 to 0.72 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) TCE, and for the garage in the 20th building results ranged from 0.20 to 0.36 ug/m3. In the 20th building's garage two chemical storage closets were tested that had TCE levels of 0.18 and 1.2 ug/m3 using a grab sample technique, but these detections were likely from indoor sources in the room and not from vapor intrusion.
Grab samples were also obtained from elevator pits (using tubing to get air from the pit) to determine if there was a potential for those vapors to get into living spaces. In the 20th building, one elevator pit was sampled and yielded a TCE result of 10 ug/m3. The hallway of the second floor in front of that elevator was sampled with no TCE detected (the first floor opens up to an outside space). The elevator shaft was then re-tested, as well as apartments on the second floor near that elevator and from every floor hallway that the elevator opened up into. No detections in any of the living spaces were found, and the TCE results for the elevator pit retesting was 6.8 ug/m3.
In summary, while there were detections of TCE in the garages and/or elevator shafts in the 19th and 20th residential buildings, subsequent evaluation of potential pathways and indoor spaces found no evidence of vapor intrusion occurring into any indoor living spaces, nor the potential for this to occur.

Well, we can all get rid of our automobiles now.
"A teleportation machine would be like a fax machine, except that it would work on three-dimensional objects as well as documents. It would produce an exact copy rather than an approximate facsimile, and it would destroy the original in the process of scanning it," wrote quantum teleportation pioneer Charles Bennett on an IBM Research website.
The only part that gets you is the "it would destroy the original inthe process of scanning it", but then maybe the "copy" would be better then the original. :

LOL. You aren't looking to send her a few billion miles away are you? :
